4 MISSION GCRD supports and pursues projects to address the following goals: Safety and security, particularly safety at grade crossings and homeland security Mobility and access, for vehicles, pedestrians and trains, including commuter rail Quality of life, through context sensitive design, air quality improvements, noise reduction, natural hazard mitigation, and other neighborhood enhancements INTRODUCTION The Gulf Coast Rail District (GCRD) was created in At the time, 2,200 freight trains moved through the Houston region each week and freight volumes were forecasted to nearly double by As 2015 approaches, the Class I railroads expect the Houston freight rail network to reach capacity, carrying more trains and longer trains. Commodities with significant growth opportunities for the railroads are either originating in or destined to Houston. Energy and byproducts Drilling materials Chemicals Mexico imports and exports These commodities are driving regional economic activity and job growth. As a result, more people are moving to the Houston region. The area s 2010 Census population of 5.9 million is forecasted to reach 8.8 million by The number of people and amount of freight moving through the region will significantly impact the regional roadway network. Local officials are looking to rail to move not only some of the freight, but also some of the people. The Gulf Coast Rail District has been directed to work with local transportation planners and the Class I railroads that own the freight rail network to develop rail network improvements that will benefit the region s residents and economy. GCRD is working to keep the regional economy on track. VISION STATEMENT The ultimate vision of the Gulf Coast Rail District is to create a rail network that supports safe, unimpeded freight movement and safe, reliable passenger movement. Houston needs a freight rail network that is unconstrained in terms of current and forecasted capacity, permits expansion to support economic growth, provides a fluid level of service to the customer base, and promotes the safe movement of commodities with minimal impact on the community. Houston also needs a passenger rail network that will move commuters between residential growth areas outside of Beltway 8 and job centers inside of Beltway 8 and Loop 610. Long-term, the Gulf Coast Rail District will work with the Class I railroads to try to consolidate freight rail operations into a few of the region s existing corridors where safety and mobility 1 P age
5 improvements can be focused. This focused investment can benefit freight railroads operations and the multimodal regional transportation network. Create sealed freight rail corridors with combinations of grade separations and road closures. When needed, add capacity in sealed freight rail corridors. This vision will require extensive coordination and partnership with the Class I railroads operating in the Houston region. Hence, it is the basis of a long-term vision. Near-term, the Gulf Coast Rail District believes it is necessary to grade separate the rail crossings where growth in freight rail traffic will have the most impact on roadway safety and mobility, and to initiate commuter rail service in corridors where there is adequate right-of-way adjacent to existing freight rail corridors. This vision will require coordination with local partners committed to improving regional mobility. Hence, it is the basis of a near-term vision. Completion of these near-term vision components will better incorporate rail into the regional transportation network. Freight rail will have a lesser impact on roadways and passenger rail will provide an alternative to congested roadways. Each near-term component provides a strong basis for a longer term vision for regional rail. BACKGROUND Since its inception, Houston has prospered because of its rail network. Following the Galveston hurricane of 1900 and the discovery of oil at Spindletop in 1901, Houston developed the nation s largest petrochemical complex at the Port of Houston. Rail lines were added to serve the industrial complex. By 1926, rail had become such a prominent part of the city that Houston advertised itself as the city where 17 railroads meet the sea. Houston s growth potential was realized early and an outer rail loop around the downtown area was constructed in Known today as the Terminal Subdivision, this outer loop runs through the Galleria area, Memorial Park and the Heights. In 1924, Houston railroads organized the Port Terminal Railroad Association (PTRA) which services industrial facilities along Buffalo Bayou and the Houston Ship Channel. The PTRA operates on Port of Houston Authority property and continues to grow in an effort to meet shippers demands for service. More than 100 years later, most of that original rail network remains. The rapid growth of the region, the Port of Houston and local industry has forced the railroads to revamp operating procedures and perform incremental infrastructure improvements that address current needs. Overall, however, there has not been a significant expansion of the original rail network in terms of adding mainline or other rail corridors. 2 P age
6 Today, nearly 1,000 shippers based in the Houston region rely on the freight rail network for business operations. As the region s population grows, so will demand for consumer products, much of which will arrive via freight rail. Expansion of the Panama Canal could also bring more products through the Port of Houston for transfer to rail towards destinations throughout Texas and the Midwest. The region s 100 year old freight rail network will be challenged. In a 2013 presentation to the Gulf Coast Rail District Board of Directors, BNSF Railway (BNSF) and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) emphasized that commodities with significant growth opportunities are in Houston. The carriers emphasized that transport of those commodities is expected to require all of the capacity on the regional freight rail network in the next few years. Although a positive indication of the region s economic development, increased freight rail volumes will have two negative impacts on the region s transportation network: Increased delays at the region s 1,200 at-grade roadway crossings; and No freight rail right-of-way available for commuter rail operations. State and local officials recognize that the Houston region must maximize utilization of rail to minimize roadway congestion. GCRD is working to establish public-private partnerships with government agencies and freight railroads to implement projects that will maximize freight rail operations, reduce rail and roadway delays, and enable the initiation of passenger rail operations in the Houston region. NEAR-TERM VISION This GCRD near-term vision represents a first step towards addressing immediate needs of the Houston region with respect to rail service and infrastructure. The near-term vision includes a component for freight rail improvements and a component for passenger rail improvements. FREIGHT RAIL IMPROVEMENTS Grade separate to improve safety & mobility on roadways and rail Houston needs a freight rail network that is unconstrained in terms of current and forecasted capacity, permits expansion to support economic growth, provides a fluid level of service to the customer base, and promotes the safe movement of commodities with minimal impact on the community. The Class I railroads have the means and the responsibility as a service provider to meet shipper demand within the Houston region. GCRD will work with local partners and Class I railroads to try to minimize the impact of expanded operations on the community. PASSENGER RAIL IMPROVEMENTS Add commuter rail adjacent to existing freight rail corridors Houston needs a high capacity transit network that will move commuters between residential growth areas outside of Beltway 8 and job centers inside of Beltway 8 and Loop 610. The Class I railroads have stated that increasing freight volumes will not allow use of the freight rail network for commuter rail operations. GCRD will work local partners and Class I railroads to identify and develop potential commuter corridors adjacent to existing freight rail corridors. 3 P age
7 NEAR-TERM FREIGHT RAIL IMPROVEMENTS Grade separate to improve safety and mobility on roadways and rail Over the next twenty years, given growth rates for both vehicle and train traffic, the total public cost of delay at the roadway-rail crossings in the Houston region is estimated by the 2007 TxDOT Houston Region Freight Study to be more than $2.6 billion. There are 2,200 trains moving through the Houston region each week. There are approximately 1,200 at-grade rail crossings in the Houston region. Total traffic volume at crossings is nearly 5 million vehicles per day. The region s strong population growth since the 2007 TxDOT study combined with the recent unanticipated growth in freight rail traffic means total cost of delay to the public at rail crossings is most likely higher. Grade separations remove the potential conflict with trains resulting in better travel times for vehicles WEST BELT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT As recommended by the TxDOT Houston Region Freight Study, the GCRD West Belt Improvements Project combines grade separations and closures to create a sealed freight rail corridor: 5 grade separations; 5 road closures; and 5.7 mile sealed freight rail corridor through downtown Houston. The West Belt project will provide the opportunity to compare whether the more comprehensive approach with a combination of grade separations and closures provides substantially improved benefit to the community than singular grade separations. and trains; safe passage for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians; and lower emissions of harmful air pollutants. The direct public benefit associated with construction of grade separations is clear and measurable. It is a prudent use of limited public funds that will provide transportation (and other) benefits for years to come especially as train and vehicle traffic continue to increase in the region. The 2007 TxDOT HRFS recommended numerous grade separations. Most were accompanied by recommendations for closure of adjacent roadways. The adjacent closures increase safety and provide greater benefit to railroad operations. Several factors will limit the feasibility of grade separating crossings. Traffic volume and first responder access could indicate need, but adjacent development or environmental issues could prevent construction. GCRD is updating data regarding traffic 4 P age
8 volumes and delays at regional crossings. GCRD has also requested that Class I railroads operating in the region identify crossings that most impact their operations. Review of the two sets of criteria will lead to development of grade separation proposals that can be taken through the project development process, including public input. AT-GRADE CROSSINGS, TERMINAL SUBDIVISION EXAMPLE Union Pacific Railroad has highlighted the number of at-grade crossings along the Terminal Subdivision as impacting its operations (yellow highlight on map). This corridor includes many high volume roadways.

9 NEAR-TERM PASSENGER RAIL IMPROVEMENTS Add commuter rail adjacent to existing freight rail corridors As the Houston freeway system reaches capacity, the region is again looking to rail to foster economic growth. Clearly, the more freight that moves by rail the less freight there will be on regional roadways. With 3 million more persons expected in the Houston region within the next 20 years, rail can also provide an alternative for commuter transport. Commuter rail is a passenger rail mode that primarily operates between the city center and the middle to outer suburbs. Commuter rail draws commuters in peak periods people who travel to and from home and work on a daily basis. GCRD is investigating the opportunity and feasibility of using rights-of-way (ROW) adjacent to freight rail to develop commuter rail in the region. The concept is to have separate track for freight and commuter rail in adjacent ROW. This approach using adjacent ROW is an outgrowth of Class I railroad notice that sharing freight rail right of way will not be an option in the Houston region. GCRD hosted a workshop for local transportation partners on November 15, 2013 to explore the feasibility of separate but adjacent ROW to accommodate both types of rail in the same corridor. The group discussed seven corridors previously studied and opened up for comments and discussion about additional corridors. The workshop participants generally concurred that, of the seven corridors studied previously, the following five corridors warrant further feasibility studies for commuter rail service outside of freight rail right of way: Westpark Tollway State Highway 35 (SH 35) State Highway 249 (SH 249) US Highway 290 (US 290) US Highway 90A (US 90A) GCRD funding enabled feasibility analysis of three corridors: Westpark, US Highway 290 and US Highway 90A. Studies included potential terminus points that could connect to Houston METRO services as well as possible access to a downtown passenger rail station with Houston METRO connections. The feasibility analyses incorporated input and planning components from TxDOT intercity passenger rail planning efforts and the privately-funded high-speed rail line to Dallas. GCRD will continue to work with local partners to keep project development moving. 6 P age
10 SUMMARY OF COMMUTER RAIL CORRIDORS Hempstead/US 290 Corridor 45 miles between IH 610 & Hempstead, TX Houston terminus possible at or near IH 610/Northwest Mall. Needs transit connections. TxDOT corridor work underway; plans include 50 ROW for high capacity transit. Westpark Corridor 27 miles between Uptown Transit Center & Fulshear, TX Houston terminus possible at planned Uptown Transit Center with transit connections. Publicly owned ROW but constraints in areas create engineering challenges. US 90A Corridor 42 miles between Texas Medical Center & west Fort Bend County line. Houston terminus possible near Texas Medical Center southern campus. Needs transit connections. Significant ROW constraints through Sugar Land. PASSENGER RAIL ACCESS TO DOWNTOWN State and local rail planning studies have focused on use of the existing Amtrak station for development of an intermodal passenger station that could accommodate commuter rail, intercity rail, high-speed rail, light rail, local bus, regional bus, international bus, taxi and rental car service. Access to the Amtrak site will require use of freight rail right of way. Freight rail capacity would have to be added to the Freight Main along Winter Street to accommodate the addition of freight trains currently operating on the Passenger Main behind the Amtrak station. The 2012 H-GAC Houston Intermodal Terminal Access Study (HITAS) estimated the cost to shift the freight capacity to be $71 million. This cost, associated right of way acquisition and community impacts must be included in consideration of any passenger rail route to the downtown Amtrak station. The 2012 H-GAC study assessed access routes from the northwest. The 2014 GCRD study assessed access routes from the north. Environmental and neighborhood impacts were analyzed including impacts on roadway, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle travel. Both studies demonstrated that commuter rail connections to the Amtrak station are technically feasible. Further discussions with stakeholders, including the general public and Union Pacific Railroad, are required. 7 P age
11 CONCLUSION The vast freight rail network running through the Houston Region provides significant opportunity for continued economic development in the broadest sense. With freight traffic growing significantly, every reasonable rail corridor solution should be discussed to promote the region s ability to grow. The Class I railroads have committed to make Houston region investments to meet industry demand for freight rail capacity. GCRD will lead efforts to mitigate impacts on the region s roadways with grade separations and road closures where feasible. With commuter traffic growing significantly, a commuter rail alternative to congested roadways must be explored. The Class I railroads and local partners such as TxDOT and toll authorities have fully developed transportation corridors. GCRD will work with them to identify adjacent, elevated or other right of way that can be developed for commuter rail operations. This Regional Rail Concept will require significant commitment from all levels of government, the public and, the Class I railroads. The intent of this concept is to sustain the Houston region's growth and enhance quality of life.

This Year's Buying Guide
There are many situations in life where you might need to change a tire. Whether we are talking about a not-so-nice surprise on the road, or a planned tire replacement, it's always a bit of a hassle to find the time, the place, and the right tools to do it.
This is especially applicable if you need outside help to get the job done. Sometimes garages or auto shops can be quite expensive for something you can do on your own. Even worse, depending on the situation, they might not be anywhere near, so the logical question is "How do you get prepared for this?"
Further below you will find some of the things you should keep in mind when it comes to choosing a useful motorcycle tire changer that suits your needs. Equipped with one of these, you'll be able to enjoy those long relaxing rides without risks and without needing outside help.
If you are shopping for other useful motorcycle accessories as well, you can check out the other articles we've written on choosing a cool motorcycle jacket or effective motorcycle winter gloves that fully protect your hands when you need it.
Another very useful device you might want to know more about is a motorcycle helmet cam, for riding in full safety and capturing great moments.
How are you going to use it?
Before making your choice, the first thing you need to think about is how you are going to use the tire changer and what types of wheels you will use it for. If you own or are going to own an auto shop or garage, then things get a bit more complicated, as you will need to service many different types of wheels.
Multiple alternatives are available on the market when it comes to types of tire changers built for professional usage. These can be swing-arm, tilt-back, leverless or manual ones. The latter option is, of course, the most affordable ones, while the others are more complex but provide faster results.
If you just want to buy a tire changer for your personal use, then going for a simpler, yet reliable set or stand is definitely a better option. You are most probably going to use it for similar tires, so you don't need the complexity of a professional one.
Sizes & types of wheels and rims
Once you've established how you are going to use the tire changer, you should determine what size and types of wheels you are going to service (rim diameter). A typical range is somewhere between 20 and 22 inches, but you should ask yourself what the largest rim diameter size is that you will need to handle.
Just to give you an idea, for typical passenger cars and light trucks, you can easily use a standard old-style center post tire machine. They've been around for a long time and work very well for typical steel wheels and a classic rim diameter.
If you want to handle the more expensive aluminum and alloy rims, you should get a rim clamp tire machine. Rim clamp motorcycle tire changers can handle more expensive rims without damaging them. Rim clamp tire changers are also good to keep in mind if your bike needs a tire change and you are not the one doing it. So, rim clamp tire changers might be a reasonable option.
Motorcycle types of tires & changers
Let's briefly go through two of the most popular types of motorcycle tires and take a look at what they offer. This way, you will know how to better approach everything involving tires, from using to changing tires and protecting them.
Radial tires usually have a longer life and perform better when it comes to steering control, but they are not as great for off-road experiences. By their construction, the radial tires' sidewalls are not as stiff as those of bias-ply ones. This means that the sidewalls contour to the road better, for an improved surface area touch.
Bias-ply tires are still around, and this is for a good reason. Given their stiffer sidewalls, bias-ply tires are standard on many heavy cruisers and touring bikes. The lack of flexibility is a benefit when it comes to carrying passengers and/or luggage.
Motorcycle tire changers are usually less complicated than passenger and light truck changers as they need to deal with lighter and smaller tires and wheels. Their setup is a lot simpler, with a simple bead loosening system and rim clamps that are normally manually-powered.
As these rim clamps models are simpler, you can easily buy one for your own use and have it around whenever you might need it. This way you get full autonomy on and off the road and depend a lot less on specialized help.
Protecting your rims
Tire changers are a vital tool when you're running on a flat. If you can't find any repair shop close to you, this simple item will be vital. However, although you might be desperate when one of your tires gets too damaged to be used again and you need to change it, you still need to change it without hurting the rims.
As a result, always look for a device made by a company that knows how important the wheels are. A decent tire changer will let you remove the tire with ease and put another one in its place without damaging other parts of the wheel. Furthermore, if you're running a tire shop and you always help clients with their tires, the last thing you want is to scratch the rims.
Analyze the quality
More complicated tire changers have many components and you need to pay attention to those, to ensure they are of good quality. Tire changers that work with lubricators need to be filled, for example. If you're unsure that you can use complicated devices, stick to the basic ones, at least until you can get to the closest repair shop.
Let's not forget about the support you can get from the manufacturer, either in the case that something doesn't work well, or more importantly, in the fact that the manufacturer needs to provide you with all the information about how the product works.
Speaking of manufacturers, when choosing the tire changer, if you know a manufacturer from which you have bought something else before, it's a good idea to stick with them. Either way, study all the tire changers out there, and choose the right product for you, not based on what is the most popular thing.
Having a tool at our disposal when we need them is essential, and to make sure you have the tire changer when you need it, you have to carry it with you at all times. This is where portability comes into play. You will have to move it around, and if it's too big and heavy, carrying it with you will be a painful experience.
A good tire changer is a small one, capable of being used in any situation. A versatile tool is even better, and if you want your tire changer to be able to be used on many types of tires, check its breadth. There are certain models that can be adjusted to fit different wheel breadths. This will let you help others that are in need too.
Spoon levers do well in these circumstances, taking into account that they are really small and you can carry them anywhere, even in a backpack. Furthermore, you can often find sets of them that fit different sizes. They are a bit harder to use, and they can damage your rims if you're not good with them, but they are a great investment otherwise. Unfortunately, they don't come with bead blasters, which complicates things.
Frequently asked questions
Q: How often should I change my motorcycle tires?
Tires don't have an "expiry date" and as such you need to pay close attention to them. The shape of the tire is often a sign of worry if it's not a regular one. Uneven tread patterns will also mean that you need to consider replacing the tire, especially if the center portions are worn out. It's recommended that you don't use a tire for more than five years.
Often times the tires don't get to see that age, but even if you don't use your motorcycle too much and the tires still appear in good shape, harsh winters or really hot weather may have created minuscule cracks that you can't observe. Furthermore, the rubber hardens over time as the oil in it evaporates and this leads to brittle tires or tires that slide too much.
Fortunately, on the tire sidewall manufacturers are required to indicate a mark that shows the wear and tear the tire has gone through. If the treads are past that mark, it's clear that you need to change the tires. Pay attention to puncture marks or cuts, especially if you feel the tire is deflating too fast. A small puncture hole can turn into a big one really quick, and you don't want that.
Q: Do motorcycle tires need to match?
When it comes to tires used on street motorcycles, most experts will agree that it's not a good idea to mix them around. Although this might look like a sales tactic, it's mostly not about that. Manufacturers produce tires in sets, knowing that the qualities and defects of each tire balance out in a way that makes them work well together.
However, when you pair some tires that weren't meant to be together, you might run the risk of them not having enough grip amongst them, for example. The same thing applies when you try to mix tires of different ages. The front tire may be gripping better than the back tire, and in certain situations, this can lead to you losing control of the motorcycle, as you don't know what to expect from it.
Things are different when discussing tires used for offroad motorcycles. This is because offroad rides are always looking to improve the balance between grip (or traction) and control (or handling ability). In offroad situations, you need to have enough control over the motorcycle but at the same time let it get to its full power potential quickly. That's not really an option when you're out on the streets, where you always want to keep things safe.
Q: How to change your own motorcycle tires?
Changing the tires by yourself requires patience and a bit of practice, but don't worry if you have no experience. Just start by slowly deflating the tire completely. Each device comes with its own system of use, but the following rules can be generally applied if you don't have a specialized piece of equipment.
Press the valve stem to open it and let the air get out. Placing the tire on a triangular wedge, place the drop-down wedge in the space between the tire and the rim.
Inserting a tire spoon or a similar object (one that doesn't damage the tire or the rim), apply some force on the spoon pushing it downwards so that the tire separates from the rim. Do that all across the tire.
Now, depending on the machine you use to put a new tire back on, things can be very different. Most tire changers will help you position the new tire on the rim. You will need to lubricate the edges of the tire to help it set better in place. Once that is done make sure that every part of the tire is in place before finally inflate it to the desired capacity.

The primary goal of this fundraising effort will be to establish a viable long-term approach for generating funds. The approach will attempt to establish and maintain lasting, continuous, and reliable channels of funding. This will be accomplished by careful analysis and assessment of the various funding channels. Thus, a well-organised and managed operational unit to devise and implement funding initiatives, establish clear performance metrics and milestones, and build an infrastructure to track, analyse and provide feedback on actual results will be required.
There are two basic approaches to fundraising, which vary with the level of emphasis placed on large donors. In the fundraising literature there is an oft-cited rule of thumb suggesting that the first third of a campaign goal should come from about 10-15 donors, the second third from 75-100, and the final third from larger audiences. The Endowment Project will appeal to a self-selected group of donors who trust in the special mission and intention of the people behind this noble initiative.

Brachial Plexus Birth Injury - Right Shoulder Dystocia (Erb's Palsy) - Animation
No comments have been posted.
Description: This 3D medical animation begins by showing a vaginal delivery from a cut-away view of the mother's pelvis. The contractions of the uterus push the baby through the birth canal. As the forceful uterine contractions continue, we see the infant's shoulder being trapped beneath the mother's pelvic bone (pubic symphysis) causing the nerves of the brachial plexus (highlighted for visibility) to be stretched and injured. This action can result in a type of arm paralysis (paralyzed arm) called Erb's palsy.rnrnThis animation may be purchased as is, or customized to fit your specific needs. The price for modifying this stock animation is considerably less than purchasing a custom animation, and the consultation for doing so is free.

To aid Illinois voters in their responsibility to elect and retain judges,?the Illinois State Bar Association provides public information about the qualifications of judicial candidates and judges seeking retention.
For most judicial offices, ISBA will provide either an evaluation or a poll rating.

The proceedings of both Houses of the Bihar Legislature were stalled on Friday as NDA legislators stuck to their demand of minister Abdul Jalil Mastan's ouster from the state cabinet for his "uncharitable" remarks against PM Narendra Modi and the ruling coalition members hitting back.
Members of the ruling Grand Alliance, comprising the JD(U), RJD and Congress, staged a counter-attack in the Legislative Assembly as well as Legislative Council seeking cancellation of membership of BJP MLA Lal Babu Prasad Gupta.
The ruling coalition members, facing protests from the NDA legislators for the last three days over the Mastan episode, seized upon the alleged use of foul language by Gupta at Chiranya in East Champaran district against RJD MLA from Darbhanga Faraz Fatmi and his father, former Union minister and MP M A A Fatmi.
Faraz Fatmi has given a written complaint against Gupta to Speaker Vijay Kumar Chaudhary who has assured him to look into the matter and take appropriate action.
The Grand Alliance members used the issue in the Legislative Council too to deflect the BJP's protest against state Excise and Prohibition Minister Mastan.
Amid pandemonium, triggered by a heightened political slugfest, both the Houses were adjourned till 2 PM.
As the day's proceedings began in the Assembly, Leader of Opposition Prem Kumar reiterated the demand of Mastan's ouster from the cabinet and referred to the minister's "abusive" words against the prime minister during a protest against demonetisation in Amour Assembly segment on February 22, "asking the gathering to beat the PM's photo with shoes".
The NDA members trooped into the Well of the House and started raising anti-government slogans.
Soon, they were countered by RJD, JD(U) and Congress members who raised the issue of Fatmi. Some RJD members also tried to enter the Well but were prevented by senior leaders.
With the House proceedings stalled, the scene shifted to the main entrance of the Assembly and the lawn in front of it.
Members of the BJP and its allies, LJP and RLSP, sat on a dharna on the stairs leading to the main entrance and started shouting slogans demanding Mastan's ouster from the state cabinet.
RJD, JD(U) and Congress legislators sat on a dharna on the lawn, demanding cancellation of Gupta's membership for his alleged misconduct with Fatmi.

And the LORD stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

(14) Hadad the Edomite.—The name (or rather, title) Hadad (with the kindred names Hadar, Hadadezer or Hadarezer, and Benhadad) is most frequently found as a designation of the kings of Syria. Here, however, as also in Genesis 36:35, 1Chronicles 1:46; 1Chronicles 1:50, it is given to members of the royal family of Edom. According to ancient authorities, it is a Syriac title of the sun—in this respect like the more celebrated title Pharaoh—assumed by the king, either as indicating descent from the sun-god, or simply as an appellation of splendour and majesty. The Hadad here mentioned seems to have been the last scion of the royal house, escaping alone, as a child, from the slaughter of his kindred and people.1 Kings 11:14. The Lord stirred up an adversary to Solomon — All his glory, and riches, and human wisdom availed nothing to preserve his kingdom entire to his posterity, when he turned away from keeping God's covenant, and fell into idolatry. Hadad the Edomite — A young prince of the royal family of Idumea, who fled into Egypt when David conquered that country; and, finding favour with the king, settled there.1 Kings 11:23 and Rezon's opposition belong to the early years of Solomon's reign.
Hadad was a royal title (perhaps, the Syriac name for "the Sun") both in Syria and in Idumaea (compare Genesis 36:35; 1 Chronicles 1:51).
14-25. the Lord stirred up an adversary—that is, permitted him, through the impulse of his own ambition, or revenge, to attack Israel. During the war of extermination, which Joab carried on in Edom (2Sa 8:13), this Hadad, of the royal family, a mere boy when rescued from the sword of the ruthless conqueror, was carried into Egypt, hospitably entertained, and became allied with the house of the Egyptian king. In after years, the thought of his native land and his lost kingdom taking possession of his mind, he, on learning the death of David and Joab, renounced the ease, possessions, and glory of his Egyptian residence, to return to Edom and attempt the recovery of his ancestral throne. The movements of this prince seem to have given much annoyance to the Hebrew government; but as he was defeated by the numerous and strong garrisons planted throughout the Edomite territory, Hadad seems to have offered his services to Rezon, another of Solomon's adversaries (1Ki 11:23-25). This man, who had been general of Hadadezer and, on the defeat of that great king, had successfully withdrawn a large force, went into the wilderness, led a predatory life, like Jephthah, David, and others, on the borders of the Syrian and Arabian deserts. Then, having acquired great power, he at length became king in Damascus, threw off the yoke, and was "the adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon." He was succeeded by Hadad, whose successors took the official title of Ben-hadad from him, the illustrious founder of the powerful kingdom of Damascene-Syria. These hostile neighbors, who had been long kept in check by the traditional fame of David's victories, took courage; and breaking out towards the latter end of Solomon's reign, they must have not only disturbed his kingdom by their inroads, but greatly crippled his revenue by stopping his lucrative traffic with Tadmor and the Euphrates.2 Samuel 7:14.
he was of the king's seed in Edom; of the blood royal.And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's {h} seed in Edom.
(h) Of the king of Edom's stock.
EXEGETICAL (ORIGINAL LANGUAGES)14–22. Hadad the Edomite raised up as an adversary to Solomon (Not in Chronicles)
14. And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon] In David's time Edom had been reduced, but in the later days of Solomon, when his heart was turned away, an opportunity is offered for the representative of Edom to seek to recover his kingdom. This was not unnatural, for the conduct of Solomon may be presumed to have estranged some of his own subjects. The writer, regarding Jehovah as ruler of the world, speaks of this occurrence as brought about by Him. He raised up the adversary. The Hebrew word for 'adversary' is here 'Satan,' which the LXX. merely transliterates καὶ ἤγειρε κύριος Σατὰν τῷ Σαλωμών.
Hadad the Edomite] Hadad was apparently a common name among the Edomite royal family. We find it (Genesis 36:36) among the list of early Edomite kings, and three verses later, Hadar, is probably (cf. 1 Chronicles 1:50) a mistake of the scribe for Hadad.
he was of the king's seed] And, from his action, apparently the heir to the throne. This perhaps accounts for the friendly reception which he found in Egypt. His father had most likely been slain when David attacked Edom.
The LXX. (Vat.) inserts in this verse a notice of Rezon, spoken of in 1 Kings 11:23-25 below. The name is given as Ἐσρὼμ, and the notice is more brief than in the Hebrew text, and 1 Kings 11:23-25 are omitted from the LXX. in consequence.Verse 14. - And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad [in ver. 17 written Adad, אֲדַד. Apparently this, like Pharaoh, was a title rather than a name. And, like Pharaoh, it is said to mean the sun. It was borne by a king of Edom in very early times, Genesis 25:15; Genesis 36:35, 39 (in the latter verse, as in Genesis 25:15, Hadar is probably a clerical error for Hadad, as the name stands in 1 Chronicles 1:30, 50, ד and ר being so very much alike. Gesenius, however, contends that Hadar is the true reading), and was also a favourite name with the kings of Syria, especially in the forms Benhadad, Hadadezer] the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom. 2 Kings 23:13, were sufficient for all the deities of the foreign wives. For the Hittites and Edomites do not appear to have had any deities of their own that were peculiar to themselves. The Hittites no doubt worshipped Astarte in common with the Sidonians, and the Edomites probably worshipped Milcom. In the whole of the Old Testament the only place in which gods of the Edomite are mentioned is in 2 Chronicles 25:20, and there no names are given. Of course we must except Pharaoh's daughter, according to 1 Kings 11:1, and the remarks already made in connection with that verse; for she brought no idolatrous worship to Jerusalem, and consequently even in later times we do not find the slightest trace of Egyptian idolatry in Jerusalem and Judah.
(Note: From the fact that these places of sacrifice still existed even in the time of Josiah, notwithstanding the reforms of Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joash, and Hezekiah, which rooted out all public idolatry, at least in Jerusalem, Movers infers (Phniz. ii. 3, p. 207), and that not without reason, that there was an essential difference between these sacred places and the other seats of Israelitish idolatry which were exterminated, namely, that in their national character they were also the places of worship for the foreigners settled in and near Jerusalem, e.g., the Sidonian, Ammonitish, and Moabitish merchants, which were under the protection of treaties, since this is the only ground on which we can satisfactorily explain their undisturbed continuance at Jerusalem. But this would not preclude their having been built by Solomon for the worship of his foreign wives; on the other hand, it is much easier to explain their being built in the front of Jerusalem, and opposite to the temple of Jehovah, if from the very first regard was had to the foreigners who visited Jerusalem. The objection offered by Thenius to this view, which Bertheau had already adopted (zur Gesch. der. Isr. p. 323), has been shown by Bttcher (N. exeg. Aehrenl. ii. p. 95) to be utterly untenable.)
Burning incense (מקטירות) is mentioned before sacrificing (מזבּחות), because vegetable offerings took precedence of animal sacrifices in the nature-worship of Hither Asia (vid., Bhr, Symbolik, ii. pp. 237ff.).

Breast asymmetry is a common condition among women. It occurs when one breast is larger than the other. In most cases, the size difference between the two breasts may be so subtle that it isn't noticeable to anyone other than the patient. In more severe cases, however, when one breast is a full cup size or more different in size than the other, a corrective breast surgery may be necessary. Depending on the complexity of the case and the aesthetic goals of the patient, a number of procedures may be considered, including breast augmentation, a breast lift, or breast reduction. The goal is to create a symmetrical, natural appearance. Women can have breast asymmetry that is congenital or it can be noticed after previous breast augmentation surgery.
"I had a procedure done over 13 years ago. I still feel and look great! He is sensitive professional and knows what he's doing. Will go back and refer him to as many people as I know."- J.F. / Google / May 05, 2018
"Dr. Grey, is a kind, honest and very helpful with all your questions about plastic surgery. I got implants 17 years ago and they still look great. I have never had any problems with them. I am older now and planning to have them removed by him because I trust him. You can trust him he is the best!"- D.H. / Google / Mar 21, 2020
"I have been a patient of Dr. Gray's for over 20 years. He is an amazing surgeon (breast augmentation in 1996) and an artist when it comes to surgical procedures, injections and other body work! I highly recommend him, he listens to your needs and does just what you want. His staff are amazing too, they are hard working, kind, and always have your best interest at heart."- B.J. / Google / Feb 28, 2020
"I had the most amazing experience with Dr.Gray! I had my surgery 4 years ago and when I first met him, he was super informative and I could tell he had an artistic eye. I scheduled my surgery days after my consult and the whole day was comfortable, I wasnt nervous at all because I knew i was in good hands. Healing was a breeze, I stopped my prescription pain medicine the day after surgery and I had no bruising at all. These days, I follow many surgeons online and ive seen many surgery clips and there is a difference in healing based on how gentle and experienced the surgeon is, and Dr. Gray's expertise shows in the healing process. I wanted a natural look, and he delivered. No one is able to tell Ive had work done :) His staff was extremely personable and accomodating towards me and they went above and beyond expectations. 5 Stars in every category. My experience was perfect every step of the way."- N.D. / Google / Feb 28, 2020
"Words do not describe how happy I am that I found Dr. Gray and his staff. Everyone made me feel at home. Dr. Gray saved my sanity by performing a perfect capsulectomy and replacing my implants. I had been in pain every second of every day since the day I had my first implants done. I could not handle the pain and discomfort anymore after 3 years. The original surgeon was absolutely no help and I would never recommend him or his office. I live in Discovery Bay and some days it would take 2 hours to get to Dr. Greys office and 2 hours home. And it was COMPLETELY WORTH IT! It's you body so make sure you're not being lazy, like me with my the first surgery, and go see Dr. Grey. My only wish is that I went to him first! He was very up front, does not over promise, listens to what you have to say and how you feel. He is extremely educated and believes in the products he chooses to use. I appreciate him and the staff for everything and honesty can't wait to see them again!"- S.P. / Yelp / Feb 17, 2020
Asymmetry in Shape & Volume
Almost all women have asymmetry in their breast shape and breast volume. If the asymmetry is very mild, then the same implant can be used on both sides. Some women have a much larger breast on one side, those patients, most often times, need a larger implant on the smaller side to provide balance. Sometimes there are differences in projection. In this case, a flatter breast may need a more projecting implant and a more projecting breast may need a flatter implant. Also, some women have droopiness or ptosis on one side compared to the other. If this is significant, they may need a lift to create a more balanced appearance. In general, every woman in seen as an individual. No two asymmetry cases are the same. We go through a process of problem solving to determine the best way to correct a woman's asymmetry.
Congenital Asymmetry
Congenital asymmetry can be improved by using implants of a different size and sometimes a different projection. If there is a small difference from side to side, then a small change in volume can be all that is needed. If there is a large difference in size and projection then implants of different projections can be used. For example, a moderate profile implant can be used on one side that is more projecting, and a high profile implant on the other side that is flatter. It is always important to keep the widths of the implants similar so that both sides will look the most symmetric
Asymmetry Following Breast Aug
Asymmetry following breast augmentation can be due to many factors including over settling, not enough settling, incomplete dissection or over dissection, capsular contracture (breast hardness), and others. At the time of the consultation, Dr. Gray takes the time to diagnose the cause of the problem. Since there is no "cookie cutter" solution for asymmetry of the breast, Dr. Gray studies each case in detail to find the very best solution.
