Utility CompaniesBelieve me I feel your pain on this one. We lost our electricity for three days. We stayed at my in-laws house calling our answering machine every few hours to see if we had power yet. Luckily we had a place to stay. Others had to remain in their freezing homes. There are people in the District that run their water by electric pump. They had no water for days. That is unacceptable in my book.
Going days upon days without electricity in the middle of winter is extremely frustrating and potentially costly for everyone. It would seem that the electric companies would be better prepared to handle these types of storms since they keep occurring.
I will file legislation requiring the utility companies begin the process of sinking all overhead utilities underground. Enough is enough. I will include in that legislation a requirement to modify the utility tree and limb cutting program from every five years to every three years. Five years has been proven to be far too long with all the limbs that came down recently.
I would also include a provision that states for every 24 hour period a customer is without power there will be a credit on their bill and the utility has to reimburse families that had to rent a generator for power during the outage.
There were many line crews from all over the country in our area working diligently to get us back up and running. Those folks worked incredibly hard. However, we need to get the attention of these massive foreign conglomerates like National Grid that just don't seem to care about the little guy.

Happiness: Our Bubble of Happiness, why it's being popped and what can take it's place.
A series of four-week bible studies that unpack key trends affecting the life and faith of young adults. This is not your standard bible study, it's a 'bible study' with a twist. Participants are taken on a tour through some significant cultural trends that influence us more than we realise.
Through careful observation they are challenged to identify the subtle and not so subtle ways our beliefs, behaviour and faith are being shaped by the world in which we live. It is on this background that the bible study takes place, seeing with fresh eyes the mysterious ways it speaks to us today.

Chile: Buying, storing and transporting gold• http://www.sovereignman.com/
We have had a lot of conversations about Chile as 'the new America.' In short, this is a country that is full of opportunities, open to foreigners, and where the government just leaves you alone without trying to molest you at the airport or encourage you to rat out your friends and neighbors.
Chile really makes a lot of sense for would-be expatriates who are seeing their home country go down in flames… and looking around for alternatives.
Often times, folks who consider such bold options have a strong interest in precious metals; it seems that there is a high correlation in people who seek freedom to also understand the nature of sound money.

Goa: Uniquely Indian
An amalgam of spices, women in colorful saris, busy streets with a hundred rickshaws and a thousand passersby, heavily decorated temple towers and an exuberant frankincense smell filling the air. This is most probably the picture our minds conjure whenever India is mentioned. However, the Indian Subcontinent is huge, and each part of it offers a unique and peculiar travel experience. Goa is no different.Looking back at history, most of India suffered an extended period of British colonization, but not Goa.The small western state, overlooking the Arabian Sea, was a Portuguese colony. Soon after Vasco da Gama rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1498 and discovered a new maritime trade route that connects Europe to South Asia, Portuguese interest in Asia grew considerably. In 1510, another Portuguese by the name of Afonso de Albuquerque landed in Goa. After a fierce battle with the local forces led by King Ismail Adel Shah, Albuquerque took control of the city. Goa's population had a Hindu majority at the time. Disliking their rulers, they greeted the Portuguese as their new liberators. Those feelings didn't last for long. The Portuguese soon frowned upon the heathen Hindus and started prosecuting the Goans wholesale.
That was the start of the horrific Goa Inquisition. Similar to the Spanish and Portuguese ones, the Goa Inquisition prosecuted newly converted Catholics, often dubbed as New Christians, suspected of practicing their ancestral religions in secrecy, as well as non-converts who observed their faith or broke Catholicism prohibitions. The notorious autos-da-fé, trials of faith, lasted between 1560 and 1812, except for a brief four-year suspension between 1774 and 1778. It saw thousands of victims tortured, killed or burned in effigy.Round the turn of the 17th century, the Dutch started to record their presence in Indian waters, posing as a direct threat to the Portuguese. Though the Portuguese managed to keep the Dutch at bay, their power dwindled. In two centuries time, their occupation suffered another blow when India gained independence from Great Britain. The Indian calls for withdrawal fell on deaf Portuguese ears, leaving the patriotic Indians, who subscribed to Gandhi's non-violent resistance, no other choice but to launch Operation Vijay on Dec. 16, 1961. In no more than 36 hours, the Portuguese forces surrendered unconditionally.
The Portuguese might be long gone, but their legacy lingers on, up till today. Old Goa, the former state capital, is peppered with churches, monasteries, and cathedrals all built following colonial Portuguese architecture. Heading the league is the stunning Basilica of Bom Jesus. It was built using laterite stone, and contrary to the rest of Goa's churches, it comes in without exterior plastering. The Basilica of Bom Jesus is most famous for being the resting place for St. Francis Xavier's incorrupt body. The Spanish born Apostle of the Indies, as he is better known as, dedicated his life to missionary activities in Goa and further afield. For long after his death in 1552, St. Francis Xavier's body remained intact — something that was deemed a miracle at the time. Every Dec. 3rd, the Feast of St. Francis Xavier is held, and once every ten years the saint's body (now preserved in a glass coffin), is paraded through the streets. It is the time when devotees from all over the Roman Catholic realms flock to Old Goa.
My most favorite Old Goa church is the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. It took off as a small chapel built by eight Franciscan friars back in 1517. However, a series of additions, replacements and rebuilds led to the grand church you see today. Note the Manueline styled doorway, as well as the several maritime theme ornaments that adorn the walls.After you are done visiting Old Goa sites, head to the Church of Our Lady of the Mount. Located on a hilltop, it offers 360º panoramic views of Old Goa draped in lush greenery — a perfect postcard-like picture to send back home.Not long after independence in 1960s, hippies started frequenting Goa, and in no time the place turned into a hippies' wonderland. Thousand of tourists followed the hippies' trail, and by the turn of the 21st century, Goa had become one of the world's top sun and fun destinations. Enjoying a lovely sunshine and moderate temperature between October and April, Goa is on the map of relaxation seekers and partygoers alike.
Where in Goa you want to go depends on what you are looking for. Goa is divided into two main sections: north and south. North Goa retains much of its bohemian hippie style with a plethora of simple and budget accommodations on offer. It comes with an amazingly beautiful long beach dotted with restaurants and eateries offering spicy Indian delicacies. This part of Goa is marked with several pedestrian-only dirt roads peppered with shops and makeshift kiosks selling all type of souvenirs and knickknacks. One important item to buy while you are here is the cashew nut — Goan cashew is among the best in the world. If you are big on jewelry, especially pieces that come with unusual exotic designs, look up a couple of jewelry shops in North Goa. Speaking of after dark, the nightlife here is at its best with plenty of venues to go bar hopping, as well as several nightclubs if you are in the mood for some hardcore partying.
Heading to the other end of the state, South Goa is completely different animal. Instead of the vibrant sun and fun mode of the north, the south is all about relaxation in style. Here, fancy hotels and resorts make up the accommodation scene with The Zuri White Sands topping the league. Blending authentic elements with modern ones, the hotel exteriors are colonial in style while the interiors follow a more modern one, yet with touches of authenticity that keeps you reminded that you are in beautiful Goa. All the hotel buildings are no more than two stories high, which gives the place an overall amicable and relaxing feel to it. The hotel also hosts a casino on site in case you would like to try out your luck with a couple of chips. Though there is no real need to leave the Zuri White Sands, as everything is readily available, there is frequent transportation to North Goa should you want to sample the other platter.Goa has managed to surprise me in a way I didn't expect. Indeed, the frankincense smell, the multitude of spices, the crowded streets, and the colorful saris were all there, but so were the colonial churches of Old Goa, the sun-and-fun hippies' playground of the North, as well as the serene and luxurious South. It is true in every sense that Goa is uniquely Indian – Arabnews

SEOUL, Jan. 25 (Aju News) -- Shinhan Financial, a leading South Korean financial group, has agreed with China's Fosun group to jointly seek an opportunity for global investment under a strategic partnership forged this week,
Shinhan said Thursday the two groups signed a memorandum of understanding on their strategic and comprehensive business cooperation at a ceremony in Seoul the previous day.
They will seek various cooperation in domestic and global markets, diversify investment opportunities by sharing information on overseas markets, and find ways to combine their financial and investment know-how, it said.
Shinhan has strengthened its investment banking function to become a global player.
In December last year, Shinhan Bank completed the acquisition of Melbourne-based ANZ Bank's retail business in Vietnam, becoming the largest foreign lender in the Southeast Asian country by asset and the number of branches. Vietnam is Shinhan's second-largest overseas market after Japan.
This week, British insurer Prudential Plc agreed to sell its consumer finance business in Vietnam to a Shinhan unit for $151 million. Prudential Vietnam Finance Co. was the first foreign, non-bank financial institution licensed for consumer lending. Global insurers are selling small and non-core units in Asia to focus on insurance.

Universities UK and Campus Extremism: why politically correct platitudes will not solve the real problem of campus extremism
In September - to much media attention - the Social Affairs Unit published When Students Turn to Terror: Terrorist and Extremist Activity on British Campuses by Prof. Anthony Glees, Director of the Brunel Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies. Since then Universities UK - the representative body of British universities - rather than tackling the problem of campus extremism or engaging in serious debate, have sought to rubbish the report.
Under the supervision of Prof. Les Ebdon, Vice Chancellor of the University of Luton, Universities UK have now updated their own guidelines on how higher education institutions should tackle hate crimes and intolerance on campus: Providing Good Campus Relations: Dealing with Hate Crimes and Intolerance. Here Prof. Glees examines Universities UK's recommendations and finds them wanting. Prof. Glees argues - rather than rubbish his research - Universities UK should tackle the real problem of campus extremism.
Anyone reading the Universities UK report Providing Good Campus Relations: Dealing with Hate Crimes and Intolerance, (by Prof. Les Ebdon et al) expecting hardtalk about causes and dangers of campus extremism will be badly disappointed. Written in the most remarkable PC language, it is little more than a hazy list of admittedly well-meaning platitudes, based on hypothetical "case studies". Strong on weak bureaucratic advice, it lacks both clear security policy proposals, or lessons learned from the real historical evidence of the past ten years.
It will therefore not surprise that Ebdon's "core" Steering Group (as well as his "virtual" one) included members of various professional associations and trade unions (UNISON, JNCHES, AMOSHE, NAFTHE, AHUA) and an NUS representative but not a single security specialist, academic or (as far as one can see) managerial.
In his foreword, Ebdon stresses that his teams deliberations "considered and included" the terrorist attacks in London in July 2005 but decided that his guidance should "retain the original focus" Universities UK intended and therefore deal with "hate crimes and intolerance" on campus. Small wonder that his comments have so far received even less attention than would Hamlet without the prince.
There is nothing here on the problems posed by Islamist extremist groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir or Al Muhajiroun, said by reputable journalists to be active and openly recruiting on UK campuses (for example the Sunday Times, 16th October 2005, Time magazine, 25th September 2005 or the [Scottish] Herald, 7th October 2005). There is no discussion at all about the ways in which universities, in their frenzy to fill student places, have dropped their guard over admissions (for example in the refusal of many to vet overseas applicants or to require hard proof of identity for students admitted under Clearing procedures); nothing here on the need to introduce police and special branch officers onto campuses as underlined both in our report but most recently by John Vine, the Tayside Chief Constable, speaking last month at Dundee University (where one terrorist studied in the mid 1990s). Dundee is, of course, itself already the site of special branch liaison activities.
Indeed, apart from the mention of the London attacks, there is not much in this report about anything which has already happened. Its real focus is on hypothetical eventualities to be dealt with by a series of proposed courses of action. Indeed, Ebdon converts the extremist issue into one few will understand:
the terrorist attacks which have been claimed [sic] to have been caused [sic] in the name of Islam have led to significant increases in the number of attacks against people of the Islamic faith.He adds that there have also been an increase in attacks on Jews stressing that:
as with instances of Islamophobia, such negativity [sic] can also affect the lives of Jews on HEI campuses.Why does he not spell out that Muslims and Jews alike, along with the rest of us, are all equally at risk from Jihadism (and every other kind of violent extremism and terrorism)?
Ebdon's study implies there is an extremist problem, it is perfectly, true but it is only a problem by inference. Even the BNP, Combat 18 and the National Front, which he says (rightly) organise political intolerance are not said to be found on campuses (as they undoubtedly are) but merely to have:
attempted to organise within the political mainstream.Of course it is right that universities should accept, as Ebdon does in echoing the Dearing Report of 1997, that universities should aim to:
play a major role in shaping a democratic, civilised and inclusive society.Ebdon's wish to protect students from violence and extremism is also to be lauded. Finally, he is right to say that campuses:
need to be tolerant of a wide range of political views, regardless of how unpopular, controversial or provocative these views are.This being so, what must surely beggar belief is the lengths to which Universities UK, (and Ebdon himself) have gone to rubbish our recent report - When Students Turn to Terror: Terrorist and Extremist Activity on British Campuses. Initially, a number of universities denied there was even a problem worth addressing (Swansea, Dundee, City and Luton, Ebdon's own institution where Afzal Munir, killed fighting in Afghanistan, was a student). They will presumably be binning Ebdon's report.
Our study used history rather than the hypothetical examples adduced by Ebdon for its case studies but both of us used newspaper evidence. More is the wonder that our evidence was immediately dismissed by Universities UK as "anecdotal".
Ebdon himself declared (on the 18th October 2005 edition of BBC Radio 4's education programme The Learning Curve of all places) that our report could be discounted because it was "widely discredited". Prof Drummond Bone, President of Universities UK, and a number of his close colleagues like David Rhind of City and NUS President Kat Fletcher have repeatedly accused us of making "unsubstantiated claims" about the links between campuses, terrorists and extremists. One (Sunderland) has even written to Brunel's Vice Chancellor in a vain secret attempt to get him to shut me up. At what price is Ebdon's so-called "tolerance of controversial views" trading at today? If, as I believe, he is a gentleman he should apologise for his hypocrisy on this vital matter.
In truth, neither he nor Universities UK have any idea of the strength of my own University's resolve to allow researchers to speak as they find. When Students Turn to Terror makes it clear that its conclusions and recommendations are based on deductions we make from the examples we examine. But Ebdon and his committees (real and virtual) should not be permitted to use their dislike of our proposals to rubbish the evidence we present, especially not without presenting any counter-evidence (as is normal in serious academic debate). Universities fear their admissions will suffer if they are seen to be aware of the reality of the extremist threat. They could not be more wrong. Students (and their mums and dads) are much more likely to want to attend a university which recognises there is a problem, and takes it seriously, than one which prefers to pretend none exists.
There is one other thing. Our recommendations chime closely with the anxieties expressed today by the Government in its fight against terrorism and extremism. Whilst Universities UK might believe that the materials we used are all the result of some gigantic conspiracy by (competing) British newspapers to tell lies about terror, do they also believe the Government is conspiring to the same ends? Perhaps they think the media are busy inventing the near civil war in France today itself an example of what happens when extremism is not confronted head-on.
To read an intemperate attack on When Students Turn to Terror and Anthony Glees, see NUS President Kat Fletcher's article for EducationGuardian.co.uk (7th November 2005): Fight fear with freedom on campus.

Anchoring the telehealth system is the HealthSpot™ Station, a private, walk-in kiosk that offers patient access to diagnosis and treatment by board-certified doctors, via Vidyo-powered HD videoconferencing and interactive digital medical devices. HealthSpot will demonstrate the Vidyo-enabled HealthSpot Station in the Grand Lobby (booth 3) at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Vidyo offers the industry's richest and most versatile software video collaboration platform with APIs that allow companies such as HealthSpot to easily integrate high-quality video communications into innovative telehealth applications. Vidyo's Adaptive Video Layering™ architecture and scalable video codec, provides HealthSpot with optimal and consistent video and audio quality for the most natural physician-patient interaction, even in low bandwidth environments.
The HealthSpot Station redefines access to healthcare through digital technology including a desktop with a touch screen, audio system, and a two-way high-definition video screen. The kiosk, enabled by Vidyo's flexible and easily integrated APIs, provides Vidyo-based HD audio and video communications that brings patients a face-to-face experience with a board-certified doctor who could be miles away. Each station is supported by a certified medical attendant who facilitates check-in, helps patients with devices as needed, and sanitizes the kiosk after every visit.
"Our four criteria for a video conferencing solution included reliable quality, scalability, ease of use and smooth integration; and Vidyo has proven to consistently deliver the best interactive video experience," said Dave Sebenoler, Chief Information Officer at HealthSpot. "The HealthSpot Station provides a true-to-life audio and video solution that brings patients a first class, face-to-face experience with a board-certified doctor who is miles away in an office."
"HealthSpot needs to be able to deliver these important healthcare services to virtually any location with an Internet connection—in hospitals, retail pharmacies, airports, school campuses, work sites and shopping malls in urban or rural areas," said Amnon Gavish, Vidyo's SVP Vertical Solutions. "They need to be confident that their kiosk can be installed in any location and offer reliable and high-quality video communication using ordinary wired or wireless IP networks. Only Vidyo's platform can satisfy that critical requirement."
"The high quality of video and audio in the HealthSpot Station is key to establishing a good doctor-patient relationship," said Dr. Robert Stone, one of the doctors who had early and extensive experience with the HealthSpot Station. "Without the level of video conferencing quality that Vidyo provides, the interaction would be uncomfortable and unproductive. Particularly in encounters where the doctor and patient are meeting for the first time, it could compromise the relationship and the patient's confidence in both the healthcare encounter and treatment recommended."

Reliable Gutters from the Charleston Roofing Experts
As a homeowner, you may not think about your gutters very often. But gutters are essential for reducing water and moisture damage to homes that encounter heavy rains, like those in North and South Carolina. New gutters can go a long way to improve the value and integrity of your home. Gutters collect rainwater that lands on our roofs and direct it away from the house to the ground. Poor gutter systems can lead to water sitting too close to the structure of the house and can cause major damage.
Older models of gutters leave you with a lot of maintenance during the wetter climates. Constant clogging of gutters with leaves and other debris can negatively affect your gutters from working properly. CMS Roofing is the roofing contractors NC and SC homeowners turn to for professional gutter installation.
Heavy rains can and do make an appearance often enough around our area that we at CMS Roofing have learned to be prepared. Our factory-trained crews understand that any storm, from a hurricane to a spring rain, can be just as devastating when your roofing system is not properly constructed to handle and funnel the water. The bottom line is if you can see a leak, the damage is done. With CMS Roofing, Charlotte NC, Columbia SC and Charleston SC homes are protected from these dangers by sturdy gutter systems.
If you can see water spots on your interior walls, it is time for immediate action. In certain situations, even a properly constructed home can be ravaged and ruined by mold and water damage if the home doesn't have a properly functioning gutter system.
So if you need new gutters, a gutter realignment, or a gutter cleaning call CMS Roofing.

Fans have known about the David Hasselhoff museum in Berlin for a few years, and David has recently visited the museum himself and autographed the mural.
David Hasselhoff Strasse, nicknamed the Hoffstel, fans can take a journey through the life and times of David Hasselhoff. The museum includes his autobiography, albums, vinyls of his music and VHS tapes of his shows like Knight Rider.
But that's not it - there is also David's Baywatch uniform and action figure, Baywatch jigsaw puzzle.
Then there is the mural, painted by a hostel fan who works there with a bit of an interactive flare. Guests can touch the fake chest hair attached to the mural.

I am going to be the first to crack the well wishing barrel this year, and hope all of you have a better next year.
I am a soulless heathen, borderline soulless. I hope that all of your dreams are met, and exceeded. I hope that every dream hope, and wish you might have within a good heart meets every hope and dream that you all could have.
I know I am a son of a bitch Clash, but still you all stand next to my view point right and wrong. This world doesn't have much forgiveness in it anymore, and it shouldn't. 2014 will go down as one of the toughest years I have ever gone through. I just am somebody that always thinks the things you work hardest for are always the things most worth it.
When I read Gawker, I honestly come to the conclusion that my life was really not all that bad.
I think that we all have a personal vision of what we want for ourselves. I would trade every sale I ever made to write "The Great Gatsby".
What do you leave to this world? I would die broke and starving to know that I had just a hinkling of a positive impact on our world. I just don't know how to do it.
I just am so tired of the earth spinning around a sun, that is one of a billion stars, in a galaxy that has an infinite ways that it could all work out.
I can't wrap my mind around that.
I just can't be selfish about it. I guess I am lucky that I have a Venus to share it with. My Moon and Sun.
I hope everyone get's to know the joy of sharing a part of their life with somebody that is going to take half of everything you have.
Merry Xmas.

#25 Tip In Project – Time & Season
Hi, ladies! JoAnna here! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Father's Day with family!
For this week's tip in project, we are working from Ecclesiastes 3:1. It states: "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."
You can free-hand this image and write the bible verse around it. OR you can print the free download printable and use that paper as your tip-in. OR you can print it out, and then use the "Graphite Method" (see website for instructions at >> http://wp.me/p7I46G-gI ) to transfer image directly onto your bible paper
Remember Tip-Ins Tips from Week 1:
Why use Tip-Ins? Answer: To add additional space for drawing/writing in your bible. Perhaps you don't have a "journaling" bible, this is a way to add a drawing without actually drawing on the words of the bible paper. Perhaps you have already journaled on that page, or your illustrated bible already has a picture on that page that you want to use, you can just add a tip-in on top of that.
Tip ins can be of any type of paper, card, photo, etc. that you want to include into your Bible. I, myself, have used sketch paper; tracing paper; copy paper; and, illustrated print offs. When using these, I cut them down to 5×7 or smaller. However, according to the size of your Bible, you can adapt your tip in to the desired size.
Also, there are several ways to adhere tip ins into the Bible… you can use Washi tape, adhesive or Elmer's glue, to name a few.

Text: Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:8-11
In chapters 2-3 we see letters to the seven churches.
Why were seven churches chosen?
Seven is the number of completeness or universality in Scripture.
Why were these seven churches chosen?
Each church needed a particular message.
Each church illustrated conditions common in local churches at that time and in all ages of church history.
Each church was composed of individuals who personally needed the instruction and warning.
Each church may represent a period of church history.
The church at Ephesus seems characteristic of the Apostolic period.
The church at Laodicea seems characteristic of the apostasy prior to the return of Christ.
The messages seem to go beyond the local churches mentioned.
Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:8 a - And unto the angel [i.e. messenger] of the church in Smyrna write. . .
The angel is the messenger, the representative of God for the church, the one to whom the Lord would give a message and he would in turn proclaim it to the church. He is the pastor.
Smyrna was located 35 miles north of Ephesus.
Smyrna was a wealthy seaport.
Smyrna was known for its export of myrrh, which was used as perfume and which was also used to embalm bodies of the dead.
Smyrna was known for its emperor worship, and its citizens were required to say that Caesar is Lord. Of course, a Christian could not do this in good conscience because he knew that Jesus is Lord.
Failure to affirm that Caesar is Lord was punishable by law, and those who refused would likely be excluded from the trade guilds, which were comparable to modern-day labor unions. This could result in unemployment and abject poverty.
Also, a large Jewish population was present in Smyrna; and the Jews who rejected the Lord Jesus as their Messiah were generally hostile toward His followers as well.
The believers in Smyrna could expect persecution from both Gentiles and Jews. This is a particular message needed by, and intended for, this particular congregation, the church in Smyrna. Other churches or individuals might need a similar message.
The tense of write suggests write at once and without delay.
Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:8 b - . . . These things saith the first and the last, which [i.e. Who] was dead, and is alive [i.e. Who has come to life].
The words the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive have been taken from what Christ said regarding Himself in Revelation of Jesus Christ 1:11 and 1:17-18,
Revelation of Jesus Christ 1:11 - Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Revelation of Jesus Christ 1:17-18 - (17) And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
(18) I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
The first and the last means that He is the eternal One - v. 8
He is the eternal One Who existed before the creation and Who will exist after the destruction of the present creation. It is another way of saying that there never has been, and never will be, a time when He did not, does not, or will not exist.
Since He is eternal, He is capable of fulfilling His word.
Note the appropriateness of the character of Christ to meet all the needs of the church at Smyrna as well as the needs of all other churches.
Which [i.e. Who] was dead and is alive - v. 8
He is the resurrected One, the Conqueror of death
By which [i.e. Who] was dead and is alive, Christ refers to His death on the cross for the sins of all humanity and to His subsequent resurrection. He is the resurrected One, the conqueror of death.
Was dead is became dead and indicates that Christ was not always dead prior to His now being alive. At a point in time, He became dead. He was subsequently raised from the dead and is alive for ever and ever.
The tense of is alive indicates an action which occurred in the past. And is alive is literally and lived or and came to life. It is translated is alive in order to emphasize the result of its action.
Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:9 - (9) I know thy works, and tribulation [i.e. afflictions], and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
1. I know thy works - v. 9
Thy is you (singular) and refers to the angel, messenger, or pastor of this church in Smyrna. He is the representative of the congregation as a whole; and what is said to him is true of the congregation as a whole.
Works are deeds, actions, or accomplishments.
Ephesians 2:10 - For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
2. I know thy tribulation - v. 9
Tribulation has been promised
John 16:33 - In the world ye shall have tribulation.
II Timothy 3:12 - Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Why does God allow tribulation?
1. Tribulation may be for disciplinary purposes.
I Corinthians 11:30-32 - (30) For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (31) For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. (32) But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Hebrews 12:5-11 - (5) And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: (6) For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. (7) If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? (8) But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. (9) Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? (10) For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. (11) Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
2. Tribulation may be for preventative purposes [i.e. to keep people from sinning].
II Corinthians 12:7 - And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
3. Tribulation may be to teach us some things we need to learn.
Romans 5:3-5 - (3) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh [i.e. produces] patience; (4) And patience, experience [i.e. character]; and experience, hope: (5) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Back to Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:9
3. I know thy poverty - v. 9
The word translated poverty indicates an extreme poverty or beggarliness. They were beggarly.
Their poverty may have been the result of their tribulation because their properties and goods may have been confiscated.
Trade guilds connected with paganism may have made it difficult for believers to earn a living.
But thou art rich [i.e. wealthy] contrasts with their extreme poverty. Their physical circumstances indicate that they were in dire poverty, but they were rich spiritually in spite of their physical circumstances.
4. I know the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan - v. 9
This church had trouble coming from within its assembly - from the legalists.
It is common in churches and had been predicted of the church in Ephesus.
Acts 20:28-31 - (28) Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (29) For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. (30) Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. (31) Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
Blasphemy means slander or defamation when used in relation to human beings, but it is consistently translated blasphemy when the King James translators viewed it as slander or defamation of God or of the things of God.
Of them which say they are Jews indicates that it was some people who claimed to be Jews who were doing the blaspheming. Undoubtedly they were physically descended from Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, but they were certainly not spiritually descended from him. This means that they were Jews but were not saved Jews.
Say suggests that they are saying, are asserting, or are claiming something. What they are asserting is that they are Jews.
They is reflexive and is understood in the sense of that they themselves are Jews.
The omniscient Christ, however, contradicts their claim. They are not Jews. It is reminiscent of what Paul wrote in Romans 2:28-29 ,
Romans 2:28-29 - (28) For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
(29) But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
But introduces a statement in strong contrast to their saying that they are Jews.
They are the synagogue of Satan.
A synagogue is a gathering place or a place of assembly. It was also used of (the congregation of a) synagogue. The reference is apparently to Jews in Smyrna who were hostile to the Christians.
Of Satan suggests Satan's. Satan is the devil, the adversary of Christians. The local Jewish synagogue was apparently what Christ was referring to as the synagogue of Satan or as Satan's synagogue. Rather than being God's assembly or congregation, it was Satan's assembly or congregation.
There is no condemnation by Christ for the church in Smyrna.
Why not?
Persecution straightens out believers and also drives off those who do not mean business with the Lord.
Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:10 a - Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death. . . .
Since there is no condemnation, no correction is needed.
According to verse 10, the devil will cast some of this church's people into prison to try them, and the church will have a trial which will last for ten days. The one who is faithful unto death will receive a crown of life from Christ.
Fear none of is fear nothing of or stop fearing anything of. Its tense implies that they were already fearing something and that this needed to be stopped or discontinued.
Those things is simply what things.
Thou shalt suffer is you (singular) are about to suffer where thou refers to the church at Smyrna as represented by its pastor, the angel or messenger of the church. Stop fearing any of what things you are about to suffer.
Behold is used to heighten the church's awareness and to gain their undivided attention.
The nature of the things which the church at Smyrna will suffer is indicated by the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days.
The devil is the adversary or Satan.
Shall cast is is about to cast, is about to throw, or is about to put. It implies that the devil is actually getting ready to do this to some of you at the very time Christ said it, which implies that it is not going to happen to all of them but only to an undisclosed number of them. Here Satan is seen to be the one ultimately responsible for the persecution of believers.
Into prison indicates where Satan is about to throw, cast, or put some of them.
That suggests in order that or for the purpose that.
The reason or purpose Satan will cast some of them into prison is indicated by that ye may be tried.
Ye is you (plural) and may refer to the entire congregation at Smyrna, or it may refer to those who will be cast into prison. It will certainly be a time of trial or testing for the ones cast into prison; but it will also be a time of trial for the rest of the congregation as well when they see their friends and, perhaps their family members, put into prison.
May be tried is may be tested, may be made trial of, or may be put to the test.
And ye shall have tribulation ten days is predictive of a future event which is really going to happen to people from the church in Smyrna.
Tribulation literally means pressing or pressure; and when used figuratively as it is here, it is understood in the sense of oppression, affliction, or tribulation.
Ten days indicates that they will have tribulation or a trial that will last for ten days, and there is no good reason to take it in any way other than literally. It will be short, but it will apparently be severe.
Be thou faithful unto death indicates the believer's responsibility as he goes through severe persecution.
Thou is you (singular) and refers to the church at Smyrna as represented by its pastor.
Unto death indicates how far the believer is to go in his faithfulness, just as Jesus had been faithful unto His death. It means that the believer should always be faithful to his Lord even though it may cost him his life.
Since there is no condemnation, no correction is needed - Be thou faithful unto death. The tense of be implies that they were already faithful and should continue being faithful or should keep on being faithful.
Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:10 b - . . . I will give thee a crown of life.
It suggests, I will give thee the crown which is eternal life.
The faithful one will be given the crown which is eternal life, which means that the faithful one will be given eternal life.
Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:11 a - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. . . .
In he that hath an ear, let him hear, he indicates that the messages to the churches are to be applied to individuals.
Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:11 b - . . . He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
He that overcometh is the one who overcomes.
What is an overcomer? According to I John 5:4-5 , the overcomer is a saved person
I John 5:4-5 - (4) For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (5) Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
John 20:30-31 - 30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
It is not a special group of Christians distinguished by their spirituality in contrast to genuine Christians who lack these qualities. Rather, it is a general description of what is normal and is to be expected among those who are true followers of the Lord.
What is the second death? It is seen in Revelation of Jesus Christ 20:14-15
Revelation of Jesus Christ 20:14-15 - (14) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
How should we suffer?
We should suffer as Christ suffered.
I Peter 2:21-24 - (21) For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: (24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
I Peter 4:12-19 - (12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: (13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. (14) If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. (15) But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. (16) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. (17) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (19) Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
We should keep certain things in mind if we are called upon to suffer for Christ.
It is normal for all believers -
II Timothy 3:12 - Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
God is in control of the situation and knows what He is doing -
Romans 8:28-30 - (28) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (29) For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (30) Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Psalms 37:23 - (23) The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
God will not allow the trial to go beyond your ability to handle it -
I Corinthians 10:13 - (13) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

An Experimental Study on Vibration of the Impeller of a Centrifugal Pump
by Shijie GUO, & Yoshihiko ANDOA
An experimental study was made on the vibration of the impeller of a single stage centrifugal pump. First, the impeller was excited by an exciter when the pump was at a stop to investigate the vibration characteristics of the impeller in still water. Next, the vibration of the impeller and the pressure fluctuation acting on the pump casing were measured when the impeller was rotating in a vaneless diffuser and in a vaned diffuser respectively. The results indicate that water has a great inertia effect, and that the vibration wave travels along the circumferential direction of the impeller when the resonance of a nodal diameter mode is excited by the fluid forces induced by impeller-guide vane interaction. The resonance frequency depends on the rotating speed of the impeller and the traveling direction of the wave. As the higher harmonic components of the fluid forces induced by impeller-guide vane interaction increase with the flow rate, the resonance excited by the interaction may result in problems at high flow rates. It is also demonstrated that the resonances of nodal diameter modes may be excited even when the resonance condition of impeller-guide vane interaction is not met.

Air Cleaning in Clean Rooms - Super-cleaning of Mini-environments by UV/Photoelectron Method -
by Toshiaki FUJII, Tsukuru SUZUKI, Kazuhiko SAKAMOTO, Shin YOKOYAMA, & Masataka HIROSE
Prevention of wafer surface contamination is an important issue in semiconductor manufacturing as such contamination decreases LSI productivity. Although particulate contamination in work rooms is being reduced by newer clean room techniques, there are still sources of particulate contaminants, such as wafer delivering systems, wafer stockers, and load-lock chambers. Not only fine particles but also gaseous contaminants need to be controlled. The following introduces an outlook on various methods of removing such particle and gaseous contaminants.

Advanced Wastewater Treatment by Biological Filter using Floating Media
by Hiroshi SAKUMA, Toshihiro TANAKA, Yasuko MAKI, Kiyomi ARAKAWA, Masato NISHIWAKI, & Takayuki KABUTO
Advanced wastewater treatment was carried out using a pilot plant to study two types of nitrogen removal processes featuring the use of floating media for biological filtration. One of the processes had a single-column, the inside of which constituted aerobic and anoxic zones. An aeration pipe was equipped inside as well. This setup allowed both nitrification and denitrification to be carried out inside a single column. A T-N removal of about 70% achieved at an LV of between 25m/day and 50m/day. The nitrogen removal by this process was found to be possible at a flow rate which was equal to that of aerobic filtration for treating secondary sewage. The other process used a column for anaerobic filtration and a separate tank for aerobic filtration. Stored sludge in the lower section of the anaerobic column was used for the denitrification. A stable nitrogen removal performance of about 70% was also attained by this setup. This process can be augmented to existing aerobic filtration systems.

Supercritical Water Oxidation Characteristics of Organics in a Continuous Operation Reactor
by Hirokazu SATO, Shusaku HAMADA, Tatsuya NISHIMURA, Roberto Masahiro SERIKAWA, Takashi USUI, & Hideo SEKINO
The supercritical oxidation characteristics of isopropyl alcohol, hexane, and a biphenyl solution were studied using a supercritical water reaction system. The interior of the reactor was able to be visually studied through a sapphire window at the upper part of the reaction tower. Studies revealed that isopropyl alcohol enabled stable, continuous oxidation and that it was an effective supplementary fuel for maintaining the temperature inside the reactor. Continuous reaction under a high decomposition rate was confirmed even under an air ratio of 1.1, with no production of CO, NO, NO2, or soot. It was also revealed that an oxidation reaction, with an intermittent ignition of flames, progressed at an air ratio of 1.8. This ignition of flames was not a phenomenon peculiar to the use of isopropyl alcohol, but was also observed in the cases of using hexane and the biphenyl solution.

Analysis of Membrane Foulants in Water Treatment Process (Ⅰ) - Evaluation on Fouling Materials and Filtration Resistances -
by Yoshihide KAIYA, Yoshikazu ITOH, Satoshi TAKIZAWA, Kenji FUJITA, & Tadashi TAGAWA
A filtration experiment was done using a hollow fiber microfiltration membrane to study membrane fouling characteristics. The raw water was drawn from Lake Kitaura. The membrane after the filtration was brown in color due to manganese. Results of analysis on membrane fouling elements revealed organic matter (measured by a TOC analyzer), manganese, iron, calcium, magnesium, and silica. The attachment of manganese and TOC was one order of magnitude higher than that of other elements, indicating that manganese and TOC were dominant fouling materials. However, the flux measured after chemical washing of micro-modules revealed that the decline in membrane permeability was mainly caused by organic matter. The chromatogram of the liquid extracted from the fouled membrane had a void peak and five peaks below 6000daltons, which include proteins, polysaccharides, and aromatic compounds which constitute humic substances.

Analysis of Membrane Foulants in Water Treatment Process (Ⅱ) - Chemical Cleaning of Fouled Membranes -
by Yoshihide KAIYA, Yoshikazu ITOH, Satoshi TAKIZAWA, Kenji FUJITA, & Tadashi TAGAWA
A study was conducted on the chemical cleaning of fouled membranes. The membranes were those used for the filtration of raw water drawn from Lake Kitaura. Micro-modules were cut out from fouled membranes and changes in the clean water flux through the modules were measured before and after chemical cleaning. Oxalic acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, enzymes and detergents were used as cleaning agents. Out of these, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hydroxide were found to be effective for the recovery of permeability of the fouled membranes. In most of the experiments, the higher the cleaning temperature, the higher the effectiveness of chemical cleaning. However, chemical cleaning by a mixture of 1%-sodium hypochlorite and 4%-sodium hydroxide showed a comparable cleaning efficiency even at a low temperature (5°C). Merely applying the solution on the membrane surface, such as intermittent immersion, resulted in high washing efficinency.

Analysis of Membrane Foulants in Water Treatment Process (Ⅲ) - Effect of Prechlorination on Membrane Fouling Prevention -
by Yoshihide KAIYA, Yoshikazu ITOH, Satoshi TAKIZAWA, Kenji FUJITA, & Tadashi TAGAWA
A constant rate filtration experiment was done using hollow fiber microfiltration membranes to study membrane fouling suppression effects by prechlorination. The raw water was drawn from Lake Kitaura. The average increase rate in Trans-Membrane Pressure of the prechlorinated process was less than 10% of that without prechlorination. A significant effect of prechlorination on membrane fouling prevention was verified, which indicated that bio-fouling also occurred in the membrane filtration processes for potable water treatment. Evaluation on fouling organics by Pyrolysis-GC-MS identified pyrolysis fragments such as hydroxy propanone, acetonitrile, acetamide, benzene, and phenol. Research results suggested that the fouling organics found in this research included, polysaccharides, proteins, amino sugars, and aromatic compounds which constitute humic substances.

Dry Gas Seal with Ductile Rotating Ring
by Takao TAKEUCHI, Tadashi KATAOKA, Hiroshi NAGASAKA, Momoko KAKUTANI, & Nobuyasu IWASAKI
EBARA has developed and released a new dry gas seal, named NF9, equipped with a mating ring made of ductile material. Dry gas seals are widely used as shaft seals in compressors and conventional seals use mating rings made of sintered material. Cases have been reported of ring breakage causing critical damage to the compressor. The mating ring of NF9 features an enhanced tribological property. The surface of the ductile material is coated with titanium nitride using dynamic ion beam mixing, a leading edge technique for surface modification. A new technique has been used by which minimized deformation of the ring is enabled. The NF9 features the same performance of that of a conventional dry gas seal, but the ductile material used for its mating ring enables it to withstand breakage due to brittle fractures. The techniques applied can be adopted more widely and actively in heightening the reliability of compressors.

text: By Dr. Anthony Policastro Delaware is one of 40 states that has passed what is called a concussion law. These laws are meant to address the issue of concussions suffered during athletic events. There are several basic portions of the law. One piece is education. It involves educating parents, coaches and athletes so the key participants will receive information about the dangers of reentering a sports competition after a head injury. The second part of the law has to do with what happens to a player who has a concussion during a sporting event. If a player has a concussion, the player must be removed from the game and cannot be permitted to return to play. The player must then be cleared by a licensed health care professional before returning to play. All of this is logical. There is, however, an issue related to the law of unintended consequences. Passing a law of this type changes the concept of sports related concussions. They used to be medical problems treated by medical professionals. They are now changed. In the past, not treating a concussion appropriately would have been an error of medical judgment. Now it is changed. Not treating a concussion appropriately is a criminal act. Thus, if a coach fails to remove a player with a possible concussion, he/she would be committing a crime. If a coach sends a player with a concussion back into the game, he/she would be committing a crime. If the parents fail to get the appropriate medical clearance from a licensed health care professional, they would be committing a crime. If a coach allows a player to return without medical clearance, he/she would be committing a crime. Physicians might feel obligated to make sure a child does not have a problem. Concussion evaluations are very difficult. Sometimes, the neurological findings are subtle. There is not a clear cut test to do. For that reason, physicians might feel that they need to do a head CT scan as part of a concussion evaluation. I have written in the past how CT scans in children increase their lifetime risk of developing cancer. Will our attempt to protect them from long term consequences of head injury lead to more cancer in the future? Since the findings are so subtle, there are times when an athlete may appear fine but not be. The athlete may be sent back to play and suffer a further injury. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees in concussion evaluations. The law would suggest otherwise. The result is that it is likely to open a whole new avenue of lawsuits for malpractice lawyers. Some families do not have medical insurance for their children. An evaluation for a concussion can be very expensive. That is true if a CT scan is done and if a neurologist is consulted. The result is that they might not allow their children to go back to sports since they cannot afford the evaluation. It is commendable that legislators work hard to protect their constituency. However, it is also sometimes difficult to predict the unintended consequences of legislation. Since we are one of 40 states with this type of law, we are not alone in facing those unintended consequences.

Top 5 hiking trails in the Bay Area
Want to get out and explore the greater Bay Area with some hiking near San Francisco? Try one of these five beautiful hikes this summer to see more of our stunning coast and Bay Area cities.
Top five hikes in or near San Francisco:
- Lands End Trail – This moderate 3.5-mile hike is quite popular for its fantastic views and surrounding wildflowers and wildlife! You'll gain about 564 ft. of elevation on this loop as you walk near the cliffs with impressive coastal views and a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Some major highlights include Seal Rocks, a preserved spot for the sea lions (though they've since moved to Pier 39), the Labyrinth, the Sutro Baths ruins, three shipwreck remains, and the railroad bed of the former Cliff House Railway. For a little pick-me-up, stop by the Cliff House for a light refreshment or cocktail.
- Mount Davidson – Take in sweeping views of San Francisco and Twin Peaks on this easy 1.5-mile trail that's located on the tallest point in the city. A major attraction of this hike is seeing the 103-ft. Mt. Davidson Cross. A cross has been in its spot since 1923 though the concrete and steel version of today was built in 1934.
- Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve – Over in Oakland, under the care of the East Bay Regional Park District, is the Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve which has quite a few hiking trails to explore this volcanic center. You can opt for the 1.8-mile Round Top Trail Loop or get more steps in on the 3.8-mile Sibley Volcanic Trail. Both trails are rated as easy trails with great nature views and amazing geographical history.
- Tennessee Valley Trail – This relatively easy 3.4-mile trail with mostly level ground is another popular hiking trail in the Marin Headlands. The real treat of this trail lies at the end when you reach the small beach at Tennessee Cove! If the tide is low, you'll also be able to glimpse the engine of the shipwrecked SS Tennessee. Though the ship was bound for San Francisco in 1853, fog caused some confusion for the captain and they wound up at Tennessee Cove where they safely unloaded the 550 passengers and cargo. If you're not up for a hike but still want to see the area and other trails of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, try a horseback ride with Miwok Stables!
- North Ridge and Sunset Trail Loop – Enjoy beautiful panoramic views from Angel Island on this 5.1-mile loop. You'll gain just under 800 ft. of elevation as you hike along the switchbacks and the trail has picnic grounds and quarry beach for a lovely break after your scenic hike. From the trail, you'll be able to see Telegraph Hill, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Mount Tamalpais.
Try one of these five trails, or any of the countless others, next time you're in San Francisco or the greater Bay Area. We also invite you to stay in one of our charming guest rooms next time you're in San Francisco as well!
