'You shall make a menorah out of pure gold… its base, stem… And flowers… and its six branches extending from its sides, three branches on one side of the menorah and three branches on the other side;… they shall all be hammered out of single piece of pure gold' (Exodus 25:31-36) This week's portion of Truma comes immediately after the Divine Revelation at Sinai: "And they shall make for Me a sanctuary so that I may dwell amongst them" (Exodus 25:8).The Hebrews are commanded to build an elegant, majestic and portable House of God to carry with them during their 40- year desert sojourn. This desert sanctuary would morph into the more permanent Holy Temple once Israel settled in the Promised Land of Israel.It is no wonder that the first of the sacred furnishings of God's "temporary home" was the ark, the repository for the tablets of the Decalogue (the Ten Commandments), which hold the major content of the Divine Revelation. The holy ark was fashioned out of acacia wood covered with a layer of pure gold both on the inside and outside. A cherub was hammered out at each end of its golden cover.Each cherub had the face of child and a winged body serving as a representative of and protection for the Torah, which constitutes the beloved, holy and eternal words of God's covenant with Israel. These cherubs symbolize the children of Israel, who study the Torah in each generation, and the sages of Israel, who interpret it.However, there was a second sacred object in the sanctuary which is also linked to Torah: the menorah, or candelabrum.The root of this word is ner, candle, as in the verse, "the candle is commandment and Torah is light" (Proverbs 6:23). The menorah featured seven branches with a cup atop each. These cups held the wick, the oil and the flame of the candle.The entire menorah is unmistakably similar to a tree, with branches, stems and flowers. This symbol is most aptly explained by the verse describing Torah as "a tree of life to those who grasp it, and those who uphold it will be blessed" (Proverbs 3:18).Why are there two different sacred accoutrements to the Sanctuary, the ark and the menorah, each of which is identified with Torah? Do these two objects of art and sanctity express different aspects of Torah? I would maintain that since the ark is found within the Holy of Holies, the innermost sanctum of the holy Temple, and since within this ark we find the holy tablets of stone, the ark represents the exclusive Torah of Israel. This is our sacred heritage that we must protect and transmit to our children and children's children from generation to generation.The light of the menorah, however, illuminates not only the space around itself but far beyond, representing the importance of spreading Torah throughout the world The tree of life must be preserved for those who wish to use Torah to perfect, or complete, the world in the kingship of God. The Torah that will return us to Eden is the Torah destined for all of humanity.For this reason, the menorah cannot be merely gold plated as is the ark; it must be beaten out of one piece of pure gold, gold both within and without, because in order to be a kingdom of priests, teachers who reach out to the world, we must first become a holy nation, equally pure both within and without; otherwise we will never succeed in influencing the world.Based upon these two aspects of Torah, the holy ark, which protects the Torah for Israel and the menorah, which spreads the Torah throughout the world, there were two types of windows in the holy Temple.There were opaque windows, which prevented the outside world from seeing the Torah within, and there were transparent windows, which allowed the Torah to extend outwards (King Solomon made both transparent and opaque windows for the Temple, I Kings 6:4).The Temple itself featured a sacrificial ritual that was unique to Israel, which included the Yom Kippur offerings that brought forgiveness and atonement exclusively to Israel. But the Temple also had an open-door policy that welcomed gentiles (I Kings 8:41-43) and encouraged all nations to "beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks" (Isaiah 2, Micah 4).The Hanukka menorah (hanukkia) was introduced after the comparatively small Maccabean army purified the Temple from Hellenistic influence and then (post-165 BCE) reached out to the world, publicizing God's miracle. It must be kindled by in public thoroughfares as a message to the world. It is not mere coincidence that this "menorah to the world" has become the branding image of Chabad, which lights Hanukka menorahs in public places all over the world. And it was the Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson (of blessed memory) who taught his disciples the necessity of teaching the seven Noahide laws to every human being.The writer is the founder and chancellor of Ohr Torah Stone Colleges and Graduate Programs and chief rabbi of Efrat.

Panthers center excited about coming season Brad Biggs
Ryan Kalil went to the press first.
In a big way.
The Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl center purchased an ad in the Charlotte Observer and in it he predicts the club will win the Super Bowl this season in New Orleans. Kalil wrote an open letter to fans thanking them for their "unwavering support" and promising they would be rewarded this season with a "one hundred-percent, sterling silver victory. The Lombardi Trophy."
Kalil didn't notify anyone with the club first about his plans, he told Joe Person of the Observer, because he didn't want anyone to try to dissuade him from the move.
"Every team says it every year, whether it's publicly or not," Kalil said. "They say they're going to win the Super Bowl.
"We've said it in the past in meeting rooms and behind closed doors. This year's different. There's a sense of urgency, a winning attitude that I haven't seen before. And it's in the way we prepare. It's in the way we approach each work day, and I think fans will see it in the way that we play."
It is an exciting time for the club as it enters its second season with Ron Rivera as coach. He instilled a fresh attitude last season and quarterback Cam Newton proved to be a dynamic performer from the outset. There are some building blocks in place, there is no question about that.
"There's something different going on with the Panthers. There's a different attitude, a sense of urgency, a different mindset that I haven't seen since I've been here," Kalil said. "And the sentiment is widespread. It's not just in the players or the coaches. But the entire organization."

By: Todd Wilson
The Fourth of July weekend is about celebrating our country's freedom and making memories.
Instead, quite a few Twin Cities communities will remember what some folks left behind.
Roberta Johnson Englund showed KSTP where somebody left used up fireworks at Folwell Park. She says it is pure laziness of people.
"Blatant disrespect for a public amenity like a park that everyone can share, regardless if they're a resident, visitor, whomever," Englund said.
Boxes of used fireworks were left on the baseball diamond. Trash was left on the ground. At the tennis court, more fireworks wrappers and spent shells were seen.
Englund says it shows that someone really didn't care.
"Find the discipline and pick up your trash," she said.
Certain types of fireworks became legal in Minnesota in April 2002. What's legal? Fireworks that don't explode or lift off the ground are legal. What's still illegal? Explosive and aerial fireworks are illegal. A lot of the trash left behind after fireworks appears to be illegal.
Minneapolis Park and Recreation says the issue is citywide from the river, Powderhorn Park to Folwell Park. At the same time, trash and recycling containers are strategically placed throughout the park system.
Englund says there is no excuse.
"I don't know if I have a clear thought, but I'm appalled," she said.

Sodo building sold for $27.7M
The building that currently holds Zulily's headquarters was converted from a cold storage warehouse.
By Seattle Times staff
Seattle-based Urban Renaissance Group bought the former Olympic Cold Storage building at 2200 1st Ave. S. in Sodo for $27.7 million from Portland-based Felton Properties, King County records show.
The sale was recorded last Friday. Seattle-based online daily deals retailer Zulily leases the four-story, 106,000-square-foot brick building but plans to move its corporate headquarters into a much larger space by next month, according to a regulatory filing.
An entity related to Felton Properties bought the building about seven years ago for $20 million, county records show.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway may run Sprint Cup race in 2015 under the lights
Mar 28, 2014, 3:50 PM EST
New Hampshire Motor Speedway is considering the possibility of running one of its two annual Sprint Cup races under the lights for the first time in track history.
"What do you think of @NHMS possibly getting a night race?" came a question to Dale Earnhardt Jr. — who then retweeted it to NHMS — and track president Jerry Geppens on Twitter.
To that, Geppens responded, "Hey @DaleJr @Greenie9374, @nhms is working w/ @NASCAR & @NASCARonNBC on possibility of night racing for 2015. #NewEngland fans would love it."
We're not sure if that means if NHMS's first Sprint Cup weekend of 2015 – it is sandwiched in mid-July this year between the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona and the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis – would get the honor.
Or, perhaps NHMS's traditional race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup would be under the lights.
Either way, a night race might also mean such an event is held on a Saturday night, allowing fans that travel a distance to attend an easier way to get home for work on Monday.
Holding a night race on a Sunday – even if it means in prime time on TV – might be a bit more difficult for fans to attend logistically.
Regardless, we're all for it. NHMS is a great little one-mile flat oval in the very picturesque and bucolic hills just north of Concord, N.H.
The place is almost always sold-out or close to it. We feel confident fans would love a night race there.

OSVDPA seeks to start training and certifying DPOs by the end of this year.
A new organization, the Offshore Service Vessel Dynamic Positioning Authority, Inc. (OSVDPA), held its first board meeting Thursday, March 12, charting the course toward a new dynamic positioning operator (DPO) certificate specially designed for the offshore service vessel industry.
Incorporated as a non-profit, the OSVDPA is seeking to improve the safety of the maritime industry by improving the quality and quantity of certified DPOs. The Authority's training and certification system will seek to emulate the structure of existing DPO certification methods with some enhancements.
Specifically, the Authority's system is unique in its change of emphasis from measuring sea-time to assessing competence. Additionally, the OSVDPA training will reflect the unique operational tempo of the service vessel sector and emerging DP usage requirements. Finally, the Authority will provide a certification pathway to those currently excluded or discouraged from gaining a certificate.
Chairman of the Board, Carl Annessa, of Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc., said, "The OSVDPA looks forward to working with industry to establish a rigorous and practical DPO certification system, one open to all of those who use DP offshore."
While the outline of the OSVDPA's certification system has been crafted and approved by the Authority's Board of Directors, the particulars of this system are being written by the Authority's Technical Advisory Council (TAC), a team of industry professionals involved with DP usage and the training and certification of DPOs on a daily basis.
"I'm excited about the work of the TAC; finally the service vessel industry will have a DPO certification system written by the industry, for the industry," said John Fontenot, Odyssea Marine, Inc., the Authority's Secretary/Treasurer.
The Authority's Vice-Chairman Ben Todd of Beier Radio, LLC echoed these thoughts, saying, "For years the maritime industry has been clamoring for a DPO certification system that understands and appreciates offshore service vessel industry usage of DP. Unfortunately, the existing certification systems were unable to address specifics of our industry, so we've created the OSVDPA to fill this demand."
Executive Director of the OSVDPA Aaron Smith said, "The Authority looks forward to continuing to work with the Nautical Institute, the DNV classification society, and other industry associations to share best practices and ensure reciprocal recognition of certificates around the world." Smith continued, "We don't want to recreate the wheel, cause employment restrictions, or promulgate a system the international industry doesn't support. Toward this end, the OSVDPA has been an active participant in DNV's efforts to create a recommended practice for all DPO certification systems."

A system for extinguishing a fire in a tank filled with a flammable liquid product: a receptacle having an explosive charge within it and an extinguisher product that is dispersable over the flammable product to extinguish a fire there. Fuses that are ignited by contact with the fire communicate from outside the receptacle into the explosive charge. A flotation device below the receptacle, e.g. a lower bowl or a shell or flotation elements. The receptacle has an upper closing cover. The receptacle may be held beneath the surface of the flammable product by a weight to which the receptacle is moored by a rope that extends above the flammable product. The rope is separated by a fire of the flammable product, freeing the receptacle to float to the surface where the fuse to the explosive charge is ignited.
1. A fire fighting system for use in a container for a liquid flammable product for extinguishing a fire on the surface of the flammable product in the container, wherein the system comprises:
an extinguisher device comprising a receptacle containing a product which extinguishes a fire when spread over the flammable product in the container, the extinguisher device being submersible in the flammable product in the container;
an explosive charge in the receptacle;
an ignition fuse communicating with the explosive charge in the receptacle, the fuse extending out of the receptacle; and
a flotation device connected with the receptacle and placed and shaped to maintain the stability of the receptacle while floating on the surface of the flammable product in the container, whereby upon ignition of the fuse, the explosive charge may be exploded by the fuse to dispense the extinguisher product over the flammable product within the container;
a holding device in the container for holding the receptacle below the surface of the flammable product; and
a separable mooring element mooring the receptacle to the holding device below the surface of the flammable product, the mooring element extending above the surface of the flammable product in the container and being alterable by fire on the surface of the flammable product for releasing the moored receptacle from below the surface of the flammable product, such that the flotation device causes the receptacle to float above the surface of the flammable product where the fuse may be ignited to ignite the explosive charge.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the flotation device comprises a bowl disposed beneath the receptacle, the receptacle being supported above the bowl and the fuses passing through the receptacle.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the fuse extends from outside the receptacle into the receptacle and is supported in the flotation device.
4. The system of claim 3, wherein the flotation device is a semi-spherical bowl located below the receptacle, the receptacle is a semi-spherical part above the flotation device and the flotation device and the receptacle together define a spherical enclosure for the extinguisher product and the explosive charge.
5. The system of claim 2, wherein the flotation device comprises a bottom base and lateral float elements attached to the base to keep the base and receptacle floating in a stable manner on the flammable product.
6. The system of claim 1, holding device for holding the receptacle below the surface of the flammable product comprises a weight in the tank and the mooring element moors the receptacle to the weight for holding the receptacle beneath the surface of the flammable product.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the mooring element extends from above the surface of the flammable product into the flammable product to the holding device and then to the receptacle for holding the receptacle beneath the surface of the flammable product.
8. The system of claim 7, wherein the mooring element includes a rope that extends from above the surface of the flammable product to the holding device below the surface to the receptacle, the rope being flammable to be burned to release the receptacle;
an anchoring element above the surface of the flammable product to which the mooring rope is anchored for the mooring rope to restrain the receptacle from floating up in the flammable product.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the extinguisher device receptacle includes:
a first receptacle for containing a first extinguisher product;
a second receptacle within the first receptacle for containing a second extinguisher product in the form of a powder and an explosive charge, and the fuse extends from outside the first receptacle into the explosive charge in the second receptacle.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the fuse is held at its free end in the upper part of the receptacle, and when the fuse is ignited, it ignites the explosive charge for scattering the extinguisher product.
The present invention refers to a system to control and extinguish fires in large size tanks that store flammable products, such as hydrocarbons.
The system is based on the tank containing the flammable product also containing either a floating or a submerged extinguisher device that is activated at the moment when a fire breaks out in the tank.
The system is particularly applicable to refineries and all types of hydrocarbons plants having tanks of up to 70 m diameter containing flammable products, and is intended to extinguish a fire that occurs in the tanks themselves or in spills that sometimes occur in refineries and hydrocarbon plants.
As is known, refineries and hydrocarbon plants have small, medium and large capacity tanks that contain flammable products that are difficult or practically impossible to extinguish when a fire occurs.
Obviously, although numerous systems exist to extinguish fires, in all cases they are intended to be applied to large fires where people are involved who are obliged to distribute the fire-retardant product, either in the form of powder, gas or liquid, over dangerous areas.
Taking account of this, the inventor herein attempted to solve the problem of extinguishing forest fires and obtained patents disclosing a device for fire extinguishing, including Spanish Patent No. P-9700590, which describes a device to extinguish fires from a distance. That patent discloses a large container holding the fire-extinguisher product in the form of powder, gas or liquid, and immersed in the container is an extinguisher intended to explode on contact with the fire when heat is detected. This frees the extinguisher product contained in the extinguisher, and simultaneously extends the product contained in the external container.
Furthermore, the device can be activated directly or at a distance, or by detection of the heat caused by a fire.
The device in Spanish Patent No. P-9700590 is intended for extinguishing large fires, but is not intended to put out fires that originate in large tanks containing flammable products, such as those found in hydrocarbons refineries and similar.
The system of the invention is based on the device to extinguish fires from a distance disclosed in Spanish Patent No. P-9700590, but make this device applicable to extinguishing fires that break out in containers or tanks of flammable products.
The system of the invention, based on a device to extinguish fires of the type mentioned, may include a receptacle that can contain a fire-extinguishing agent or extinguisher. Within that container is a compartment or receptacle with another extinguisher agent, preferably powder, together with an explosive charge and together with fuses. Igniting the fuses causes explosion of the explosive charge, which in turn causes explosion of the extinguisher or fire-retardant product in the inside compartment, and this immediately causes explosion of the external receptacle which spreads the fire fighting product contained in the receptacle.
Obviously this device to extinguish fires can be constituted in a different form with regard to the explosive charges inside it.
Taking the above into account, the fire extinguishing device, whatever its assembly of elements for causing explosion of its contents and spreading thereof in the tank, within the type referred to above, has flotation means to keep the whole device on the surface of a flammable liquid contained in a tank in which the system is applied. The flotation means may comprise a body that is bowl-shaped or is semi-spherical and which is closed on its upper part by another piece which is of the same size and which may be transparent. Together they form a receptacle in which the extinguisher device, according to the mentioned characteristics, is seated. The corresponding fuses emerge to the outside of the receptacle. The flotation means enable the whole device to float on the surface of flammable liquid contained in the large tank or the device can even be submerged below the surface of the liquid in the large tank and the device can be anchored in this position by appropriate means. Those means include counterweights located on the bottom of the tank, which have a tackle or ring on their upper part, through which is passed an appropriate mooring element, or a cable or rope, having one end which holds the extinguisher device, while the other end stretches upwards above the liquid, e.g. to the edge of the tank. At the moment when a fire occurs, the upper attachment of the mooring element is burned, which frees the extinguisher device which floats to the surface, exposing the fuses to fire and immediately causing an explosion of the extinguishing device and therefore the extinguishment of the fire.
Obviously the means of flotation can be formed in any manner, for example by a base formed by a flat lower body on which the extinguisher device rests, with a container receptacle with a different configuration that forms a more stable support based on the float itself, and complementing this with some lateral floats to achieve the stability of the whole, and even the protection of the extinguisher device.
Logically, if the device is submerged in the flammable liquid inside the tank, the device must have means of hermetical sealing so that the flammable liquid does not enter it.
Also, it should be noted that the overall extinguishing device with the float can be placed inside a tank by any conventional system such as by helicopter, crane or similar, or onto the upper surface of the tank containing the flammable liquid, when the fire starts in it.
To assist in a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, drawings are attached from which the features and advantages of the object of the invention may be more easily understood.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of a fire extinguisher device with the external body as the container element and serving as a float for the whole.
FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view, with a section view of the extinguisher device, and the means of flotation of a different embodiment.
FIG. 3 shows a practical application of the system of the invention in a large tank containing a flammable liquid and two extinguisher units, as shown in FIG. 1, floating on it.
FIG. 4 shows another practical application of the same system, but in this case the two extinguisher units are the same as shown in FIG. 2 and are shown submerged.
FIG. 5 shows a general view in perspective of yet another form of the extinguisher, which allows it to fall on a tank containing flammable liquid that is burning.
In FIG. 1, the extinguisher system or unit of the invention includes an extinguisher device 1 with an upper part that includes a cover 2 through which some fuses 3 exit for starting ignition of an explosive charge. Burning of the fuses 3 activates the explosive charge contained in the body of the extinguisher 1 itself.
However, whatever may be the shape, configuration and explosive charge contained in the extinguisher 1, it is placed inside a flotation body made from a shell or bowl that forms a lower receptacle 4 in which the container or extinguisher 1 itself is perfectly positioned. The shell or bowl 4 is finished with a closing top cover 5 which is transparent. In FIG. 1 the cover 5 has a practically semi-spherical configuration that fits on the body forming the lower support shell 4, and there is an hermetical seal between both parts to keep the extinguisher 1 perfectly sealed.
The flotation group formed by the lower support body 4 and the upper transparent shell or cover 5 form an extinguishing medium with appropriate characteristics so that it can float on the flammable liquid contained in a large tank, as described below, or may be submerged inside the flammable liquid. The explosive charge is activated in either case at the moment when a fire occurs, so that the explosive charge expands in the corresponding explosion and the fire is put out.
As seen in FIG. 1, the fuses 3 are appropriately guided inside the transparent upper closure cover 5. Their ends have correct means to start ignition, either by the heat produced by the fire or by direct contact with the flame.
In another form shown in FIG. 2, the extinguisher 1' as a whole includes a receptacle 6' that contains the fire extinguishing product 7'. A second receptacle 8 placed in the receptacle or tank 6' contains another extinguisher product 9'. The corresponding fuses 3 emerge from inside the receptacle 8 to ignite the explosive charge 10' which will in the first place activate the extinguisher product 9' and then activate the extinguishing product 7', following the corresponding explosions, causing these extinguisher products to be scattered.
In this construction, the extinguisher unit is mounted or placed on flotation means formed by a flat base 4' on which the receptacle 6' is supported and held. The flat base 4' has lateral wall 5' to hold and protect the receptacle 6' that forms the extinguisher 1' itself.
FIG. 3 shows one practical application of the system on a large sized tank 11, containing a flammable product 12. It shows two extinguisher units, as shown in FIG. 1, floating on the flammable liquid 12, so that if the liquid catches fire, the fuses 3 will be ignited and immediately thereafter the explosive charge will explode, scattering the extinguisher product and extinguishing the fire.
FIG. 4 shows the application of the device or extinguisher represented in the FIG. 2, submerged in the flammable liquid 12 contained in the corresponding large sized tank 11. The two extinguisher units or groups are kept submerged by respective counterweights 13 located on the bottom of the tank 11. Each unit or group is held by a mooring element, such as a cable, rope or similar element 14, that has an upper end that is moored to an anchoring point 15 on the upper part of the tank 11, while the mooring element 14 is passed through a tackle, hoop, or similar element 16 on the counterweight 13, and then extends up to the extinguisher, causing the cable 14 to hold the extinguisher device or group.
Under the circumstances, if a fire occurs at the surface of the flammable product or liquid 12 contained in the tank 11, first the upper end of the mooring element 14 will burn free from its securement at point 15 and therefore leave the extinguisher unit or group itself free. Its flotation system 4'-5' will cause the extinguisher to immediately reach the surface or the level of the flammable product or liquid 12, floating and then causing the spreading of the extinguisher product, because the fuses 3' have been activated by the fire itself.
FIG. 5 shows another extinguisher group or unit which has a balloon-like shape 17 with a lower foot or base 18 and an upper cover 19. Inside the transparent cover that forms the balloon 17 there are corresponding fuses 20, all forming a group. This assembly can be deposited from a helicopter, letting it fall on the flammable liquid contained in a large size tank, once a fire has started, so that the fuses 20 are ignited and then activate the explosive charge producing a corresponding explosion, spreading the extinguisher product contained inside the shape 17.
Although the present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments thereof, many other variations and modifications and other uses will become apparent to those skilled in the art. It is preferred, therefore, that the present invention be limited not by the specific disclosure herein, but only by the appended claims.
