Summary: This work is based on the fact that the Bible is the Word of God, without error or contradiction, and acceptance of the fact that the historical progression of the seven letters to the Churches, and the seven parables on theKingdom of Heaven are related to the seven periods of the Church Age. Each Age reflects the historical social, political, moral, and religious conditions of that period. Topics discussed in this work includes: the Tribulation Period, the abomination that causes desolation, th ...show moree number 666 as a human social system, the Battle of Armageddon, the two Witnesses, and the "place" prepared for the two women in Revelation chapter twelve. The Battle of Armageddon enabled the Jewish people to return to Palestine and bring an end to the desolation period. A turning point in the study came when it was discovered that the end of the desolation period; the end of Daniel's 1,290 years; and the end of the protection of the two "women" in the "place" God prepared for them, all occurred in the year AD 1970. The year 1970 marks the beginning of "The Time of the End." It is interesting to note that the revealing of "the man of sin" resulted in social upheavals of the past thirty years; the rise in terrorism; global warming; and the melting of ice caps around the world. Scientists and others have documented events related to "The Time of the End" which will culminate with a great catastrophe when the seventh trumpet is blown on the "great and terrible Day of the wrath of God." Several passages in the Bible describe the eruption of volcanoes. It's time to wake up because our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.In order to understand what global warming it all about we need to consider the biblical account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19:15-29. Because of gross homosexual behavior, God sent two angels to get Lot and his family out of the city. One thing to consider is that the timing of the destruction of the cities, was under the control of the angels. The cities were destroyed by fire and brimstone (sulfur) coming down from the sky. But Abraham saw smoke coming up from the countryside "as the smoke of a furnace." Evidently Abraham's attention was attracted by a loud noise and an earthquake. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was caused by the eruption of a volcano which left a large caldera filled with salt and the Dead Sea. In Luke 17:29-30 Jesus warned that when he returns the same thing will take place. This time it will involve not just a city but the whole earth. The timing of this future catastrophic event is controlled just as the timing of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was controlled by the angels. (Matthew 24:36) Lot was warned by the angels to get out of the city. Today in the 21st century we are being warned by global warming and its consequences: melting of polar ice caps, melting of snow caps, rising sea levels, etc.IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP! ...show lessCover: Paperback

China Adopts New Law on Strategic Environmental AssessmentBy Yuan Tao
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights Grants Precautionary Measures in Favor of Panama's Ngöbe Indians By Salman M. A. Salman & Yuan Tao
The American Clean Energy and Security Act – a Historical Step by the US GovernmentBy Sachiko Morita
The Fifth World Water ForumBy Salman M. A. Salman
China's State Council issued on August 17, 2009 the long-anticipated Regulations on Environmental Impact Assessment of Plans and Programs, more commonly known as China's strategic environmental assessment law (China SEAL), which will take effect as of October 1, 2009.
China SEAL was passed in an effort to fill the gap between development planning and environmental scrutiny, attempting to avoid environmental harms being discovered and corrected only ex post. To that end, China SEAL is intended to guide and evaluate policy and planning activities, at both national and local levels, and to strengthen the capacity of sectoral institutions to integrate environmental and sustainability implications of development in their planning and implementation.
As early as 2002, China introduced the Environmental Impact Assessment Law (the EIA Law), a milestone step towards more effective environmental governance. The EIA Law can be loosely likened to the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act 1970 (NEPA), which requires federal agencies to consider environmental impact in their decision-making. Unlike NEPA, however, China's EIA Law directly targets individual projects and business facilities. The project-oriented process under the EIA Law was seen as deficient in many ways, as it only dealt with specific effects incurred by a particular project whereas many environmentally damaging decisions had already been made at a more strategic level. Although certain provisions in the EIA Law allude to strategic environmental assessment, those provisions have never been put into effect.
Under China SEAL, for the first time, the responsible authority will be mandated to conduct an environmental assessment during the preparation of a plan or program and before its adoption or implementation. The legal requirement for an environmental assessment is triggered if a plan or program is prepared for land use, coastal and regional development, river basin, industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, energy, water conservation, transportation, urban construction, tourism, or natural resources development. The assessment must analyze, anticipate and evaluate a contemplated plan's (1) macro impact on the ecological system in the relevant river basin and regional and coastal area; (2) long-term effects on human health; and (3) both short-term and long-term economic, social and environmental costs and benefits.
As a strategic environment assessment is conducted before a corresponding project-based environmental assessment is undertaken, information on the environmental impact of a plan will be able to cascade down through the tiers of decision making and be used in an environmental assessment at a later stage. This should alleviate the concern of duplication of efforts or insufficient resources to handle the volume of environmental assessment reports.
Recognizing that transparency and quality of information are key to the success of environmental assessment, China SEAL requires an information sharing mechanism be established among government agencies at county level and above. As a result, information germane to an informed policy decision can be gathered expeditiously at little or no cost and can then be factored into an agency's decision-making process.
One classic critique of the EIA Law is that the law falls well short of what is considered meaningful public participation in the process of environmental assessment. China SEAL seems to have taken a step forward in this regard. If significant controversy remains after the initial round of public involvement, the public will be offered more opportunities to voice their opinions and concerns.
Another encouraging development under China SEAL is that it places great emphasis on the monitoring of plans and programs after their implementation, in order to evaluate the actual impact of a plan vis-à-vis the anticipated impact depicted in the original assessment report.
China SEAL marks a new significant step in the nation's progress towards a greener economy. Slowly but surely, it will transform China's conventional model of policy making and development planning. Of equal importance is for the executing agencies to ensure that the goal of the law will not be eviscerated by weak enforcement.
On June 18, 2009, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (the Commission) granted precautionary measures in favor of the indigenous Ngöbe communities. The precautionary measures called on the government of Republic of Panama (Panama) to suspend all work on a hydroelectric dam that threatens the Changuinola River in Bocas del Toro, a long-standing homeland for the Ngöbe people.
According to the request for precautionary measures, in May 2007, a 20-year concession was approved for a company to build hydroelectric dams along the Changuinola River. One of the dams authorized to be built, the Chan-75, will likely flood the area where four Ngöbe indigenous communities of about 1,000 people have been established. Another 4,000 Ngöbe people may also be affected by the construction of the dam. The Ngöbe community contended that the lands affected by the dam are part of their ancestral territory and are used to carry out their traditional hunting and fishing activities.
The Commission decided to grant precautionary measures in order to avoid irreparable harm to the right to property and security of the Ngöbe indigenous peoples. The Commission requested that Panama suspend construction and other activities related to the concession until the bodies of the Inter-American human rights system can adopt a final decision on whether there have occurred violations of certain rights protected under the American Convention on Human Rights (the Convention).
The Commission's role in the Inter-American human rights system
Pursuant to the Convention, there are two bodies responsible for overseeing compliance with the Convention: the Commission and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (the Court).
The mandate of the Commission is to promote the observance and defense of human rights in member States. Accordingly, the Commission can, among other things, (1) hear a petition and, after deliberating the merits of the case, issue a report (i.e., a decision) (Report); (2) grant precautionary measures, with or without a petition for a full-blown adjudication; and (3) refer cases to the Court and litigate those same cases before the Court.
Unlike the Commission, the Court is a judicial institution that rules on cases brought before it. When ratifying the Convention, a State party must voluntarily submit to the Court's jurisdiction for it to be competent to hear a case involving that State. Acceptance of contentious jurisdiction can be given on a blanket basis. Panama has given its blanket acceptance of the Court's jurisdiction.
The interplay between the Commission and the Court
According to the Convention, cases can only be referred to the Court by either the Commission or a State party. Individual citizens of member States cannot take cases directly to the Court. Instead, they must first lodge a complaint with the Commission and have the Commission rule on the admissibility of the claim. If the case is ruled admissible and the State deemed at fault, the Commission will generally serve the State with a Report which contains a list of recommendations to make amends for the violation. If the Commission considers that the State has not complied with the recommendations of the Report, it must refer the case to the Court, unless there is a valid reason for not doing so.
Whether a State party can submit a case to the Court is not as clear. However, Article 51 seems to imply that, within a period of three months from the date of the transmittal of the Report of the Commission to the States concerned, the matter can be submitted by the State concerned to the Court.
The Commission's precautionary measures
In serious and urgent cases, the Commission may, on its own initiative or at the request of a party, request that the State concerned adopt precautionary measures to prevent irreparable harm. Precautionary measures can be granted on a stand-alone basis. Moreover, the granting of such measures and their adoption by the State would not constitute a prejudgment on the merits of a case. In that sense, precautionary measures could be loosely likened to injunctions in judicial proceedings, though their enforcement would by and large hinge upon the goodwill of the member States.
The question that follows is whether a member State in question can appeal. Based on the foregoing, there would be three types of appeals under the Convention: (1) appeals of precautionary measures; (2) appeals of Reports by the Commission; and (3) appeals of judgments by the Court.
Appeals of precautionary measures - Neither the Convention nor the Commission's Rules of Procedure (CRPs) provides for appeal mechanisms for precautionary measures. Therefore, a textual interpretation would yield that such appeals do not really exist under the Convention or the CRPs.
Appeals of Commission Reports - The CRPs are silent on whether the Commission Reports can be appealed. However, Article 51 of the Convention implies that a matter can be submitted to the Court by the State concerned, within three months of the transmittal of the Report to that State. Article 51, read in conjunction with Article 61 of the Convention (which says a State has the right to submit a case to the Court), seems to provide the respondent State with a window to appeal, because the only logical reason for the State to submit the case to the Court during the three-month period would be because the State disagrees with the Commission's findings in its Report.
Appeals of Court Judgments - The Convention makes it clear that "the judgment of the Court shall be final and not subject to appeal." The only exception is when there is disagreement as to the meaning or scope of the Judgment, in which case the Court must interpret it at the request of any of the parties.
The Ngöbe people won this victory, symbolic or otherwise, at the heels of two recent landmark cases. On the very same day, Peruvian Congress voted to repeal two controversial laws, in an attempt to drop criminal charges against indigenous leaders and allow independent investigation into violent incidents in Bagua, Peru; and several months ago, in December 2008, the indigenous Awas Tingni community in Nicaragua recouped the title to its traditional lands from the Nicaraguan government and thus gained recognition and protection of its ancestral territory. These events have been viewed by some to signal an emerging trend towards fuller recognition of rights of indigenous peoples through both legal and political processes, particularly in Latin America.
The American Clean Energy and Security Act ("ACES" or the Waxman-Markey Energy Bill) passed the US House of Representatives by a vote of 219-212 on June 26, 2009. The legislation, introduced by the Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman and the Environment and Energy Subcommittee Chairman Edward J. Markey, provides a comprehensive approach to America's energy policy. Totaling over 1400 pages, the legislation would impose limits, for the first time, on CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) from power plants, factories and refineries to reduce these emissions in the US. The bill comprises five titles as follows.
Title I – Clean Energy: a nationwide renewable electricity standard (RES) would be established, whereby each electricity provider who supplies over 4 million MWh would be required to produce 6 % of total electricity from renewable sources (Eligible renewable sources are: wind, solar, geothermal, renewable biomass, biogas derived exclusively from renewable biomass, biofuels, qualified hydropower commissioned after 1992 and marine and hydrokinetic sources.) by 2012 and 20% by 2020. The bill would also require coal-fired electricity generators to meet strict emission performance standards. These standards would effectively make the implementation of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology mandatory at new coal-fired power stations. New coal-fired power stations that implement CCS technologies would be eligible to receive federal financial assistance in the form of freely allocated emission allowances, under certain conditions. The bill also provides for expanded production of electric vehicles.
Title II – Energy Efficiency: new energy efficiency standards would be mandated for appliances, buildings, transport and industry. The Government would provide funds to support energy efficiency projects and technologies. The bill would, for example, require State governments to update building codes, which would require new buildings to be 30% more energy efficient by 2012 and 50% more efficient by 2015.
Title III – Reducing Global Warming Pollution: a national cap-and-trade scheme is established that aims to reduce GHG emissions from major sources (electricity generators, oil refiners, natural gas suppliers, and energy intensive industries) by 17% by 2020 and 83% by 2050 relative to 2005 levels. This proposed scheme would commence in 2012. At the start of the scheme, approximately 85% of emission allowances would be allocated gratis to reduce the impact of the scheme on key sectors.
The bill would permit parties to use up to 2 billion emission offsets to meet their obligations under the scheme in any given year. Up to half of these offsets can be obtained from domestic sources and the other half from international sources (with trading programs that are at least as stringent as the US program). The penalty for failure to comply with the emission cap will be a fine of two times the 'fair market value' of the missing allowances.
The bill would require that pre-existing state and regional emissions trading schemes be suspended between 2012 and 2017. Allowances issued under these schemes before December 31, 2011 would be redeemed or exchanged for federal allowances.
Title IV – Transitioning to a Clean Energy Economy: includes a number of measures intended to reduce the impacts of the Bill on industries and persons likely to be affected by the transition to a clean economy. These measures include: increased funding for the Energy Worker Training Program; entitlements for workers displaced as a result of the Bill; and college and university grants to prepare students for careers in the renewable energy and energy efficiency fields. One provision that has attracted particular attention is the "border adjustment" provision designed to safeguard the competitiveness of US manufacturing industries facing foreign competitors who are not subject to comparable emissions regulation. Under Part F of this Title, the President could, as of 2020, impose a requirement to submit emissions allowances on certain imports from countries that do not meet the specified emission reduction criteria.
Title V – Offsets from Domestic Forestry & Agriculture: These domestic agriculture and forestry offset programs are overseen by the Secretary of Agriculture (see above).
The proposed cap-and-trade system may result in a rise in energy costs. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the bill would increase energy costs for an average American household by US$175 a year. However, the Bill includes measures to cushion such potential increase, for example by granting low-income consumers credits and rebates.
After the summer recess, the Bill will be sent to the Senate, which has drafted a comparable bill on energy and climate change, called the American Clean Energy Leadership Act (ACELA). The Bill needs at least 60 votes to pass the Senate, and will need to be "reconciled" with the Senate's ACELA. If this happens, the joint legislation will be sent to both chambers for a final vote, before being sent to the President for signing into law.
If the Bill does not become law, it may still be possible to regulate the CO2 emissions under the existing law, such as the Clean Air Act (CAA). In Massachusetts v. EPA, the US Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, found CO2 and other GHGs to be an "air pollutant" that can be regulated under the Act, and that EPA had the authority to regulate them. However, the CAA was designed to meet the immediate and direct impacts of "traditional" pollutants, with local or regional, rather than global impacts. Therefore, EPA would still need to go through the administrative process required to promulgate some regulations to adequately address the challenges posed by GHGs, even if the Agency were to regulate the GHGs under CAA.
As noted earlier, this is the first time that the US is taking a step toward limiting its GHG emissions at the federal level. It is not certain whether this Bill will become law before the UNFCCC meeting in Copenhagen this December. Regardless of the timing, the passage of the Bill will be an important step forward toward global effort to addressing climate change.
More than 30,000 delegates gathered in Istanbul during the period March 16 - 22, 2009, for the fifth World Water Forum. The World Water Forum is an event held every three years, organized by the World Water Council in collaboration with the host country.
The first World Water Forum was held at Marrakech, Morocco, in 1997, and led to the presentation of "A Vision for Water, Life and the Environment in the 21st Century." The second Forum was held at The Hague, The Netherlands, in 2000, where a large number of governments and organizations attended, paving the way for wider representation at the future forums. The third Forum took place at Kyoto, Japan in 2003, and the fourth in Mexico City in 2006. Attendees at these forums range from government officials, including ministers and parliamentarians, representatives of international organizations, international financial institutions, and non-governmental organizations, as well as the private sector and academia.
A number of issues usually dominate the discussion at the Forum. The debate on dams and their costs and benefits, the role of the private sector in water management, and the issue of the right to water have been the dominant ones since the beginning. The Fifth World Water Forum built on the experience of the previous forums, and centered on the theme "Bridging Divides for Water." The issue of climate change and its effects on water resources was debated at length, and the different regional and sectoral perspectives and experiences were presented and discussed. Other sessions dealt with water-related migration, changing land use and human settlements, ecosystems, as well as managing disasters, energy, storage and the multiple use and functions of water services. A number of sessions deliberated on basin management and transboundary cooperation generally, and with regard to some specific basins, including groundwater. Involvement of stakeholders and the private sector was also debated, and developments in water science and technology were also presented.
The Istanbul Ministerial Statement issued at the end of Forum reaffirmed the prior commitments made by national governments to achieve the internationally agreed upon goals on water and sanitation, including those in Agenda 21, and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, and referred to the challenges in meeting the Millennium Development Goal related to access to water. The Statement also highlighted the various problems the world is facing, including population growth, migration, urbanization, climate change, desertification, drought, degradation and land use changes, and the effects of that on water resources availability and management. It called on concerted efforts and collaboration to meet those challenges.

text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- When the game started between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins on Sunday, there was one notable absence along the defensive line. Former third overall pick and starting defensive lineman Marcell Dareus was merely standing on the sideline with his helmet off throughout the first 15 minutes of action. After the game head coach Doug Marrone was vague about the reasoning, saying that Dareus broke an unspecified team rule. The defensive lineman wouldn't divulge the reasoning behind the temporary benching either. According to a league source, the Bills elected to bench Dareus for tardiness to team meetings throughout the year. The source described the defender as being "habitually late," and that the benching falls right in line with the overall program to have the players holding more accountability for their actions. Dareus entered the game as soon as it reached the second quarter. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

Hairgum PURE Shea Butter Serum Review
Peter Anthony Product Review
Hairgum PURE Shea Butter Serum
Condition of Hair:
About the Company
Based in France, Laboratoire Ariland, maker of Hairgum products has always taken its inspiration from nature for its fragrances and textures. With a global reputation for producing high quality hair care and styling products for over the last 25 years using only the finest ingredients, Hairgum has always been able to be on top of the latest trends and fashions. Hairgum organic products (Pure and part of the Beauty range) feature authentic formulae developed without adding chemical ingredients. Products guaranteed to be free of paraben, polyethylene glycol (PEG), silicon, and artificial coloring- and enhanced with a 100% natural fragrance. In addition, no animal testing was carried out on the raw materials or finished products. The formula contains a maximum concentration of ingredients derived from organic farming.
What is it supposed to DO?
It put softness and shine back into your hair. Alone or mixed with women Hair conditioner, Pure protected hair and skin. Genuine serum, it is currently the organic Shea oil the most concentrated in Shea butter. It is the ideal product for dry and dehydrated hair. It is suitable for all types of dry hair even very thick and frizzy hair which it leaves soft and shiny.
How important is scent?
Keeping a light Ginger Scent, simple, clean, a little spicy. Scent rose a bit when using appliances. It did dissipate, not as quickly as the shampoo & conditioners. When styling you will smell it clearly and it will softly disappear.BIG burst and then very light. The most fragrant of the collection.
How does the product feel when you use it?
Great slip, not oily at all, very workable and works its way right into the hair not on it. Love this when we added to the conditioner as well.
How does the packaging look and hold up?
Very simple European packaging. What we liked as compared to others is this Shea Butter Serum is packaged in a 1.76 oz bottle. So you net almost twice as much as others. Simple snap cap can be opened and closed with one hand.
We put it through the paces!
We used this product in two ways First as a conditioning additive, second as a "Styling Serum". I have to say we liked both. The product was easy to work with, created shine as a Styling aide, closing down the cuticle and not building up in the hair. (We worked on fine hair through coarse and curly & found it really great for fine and normal, for thicker curly hair it worked great as well although the hair had a tendency to really soak it up faster. This was great as most serums address curly and coarse hair and avoid fine hair, we give this a great rating for people with normal & fine hair.
Peter Anthony and his friends share tricks of the trade!
Here we just got to play a lot and fall in love with the product. Our hands didn't feel sticky & we loved that when styling and finishing. I love placing some into the PURE Repairing Mask, on our test model we noticed several days after how well and even the color took. What we also noticed is that with a couple of drops mixed into the conditioner tangles were a bit more manageable and the natural bristle brushes had better slip through the hair. This product is not for building volume, but for keeping hair soft shiny and sexy, all of which we feel it did rather well. Here is another trick we played with, as we were testing the pomades we placed a bit of serum (two or three drops) into our hands and then chose the pomade we wanted. This simple little cocktail really allowed the pomade to work easily through the hair AND we were able to use everything that was on our hand getting the pomade to 'spread' a bit further.
Products you will need to complete the experience
No doubt this could easily be a stand alone product and mix into any collection easily. The cumulative results of the product will help all hair types although again we loved it with normal and fine hair especially. Add this for sure to the PURE Repairing Mask & PURE Gentle Shampoo because it belongs with them like PRADA & Ferrari.
Peter Anthony shares his last thoughts on the product
My final thoughts on this product is that it is simple and easy to use. There is a lot of forgiveness to it as a Serum, and a lot of PUNCH when added to the Repair Mask. I believe in collections and you can tell through my reviews that there is not a single answer ever for hair. Woman have many sides so each group of products simply enhances her collection and ability to express what she is feeling that day more clearly.

Review: 2010 Lexus HS 250h
A Perfect Prius It Is Not Lexus likes to say that it pursues perfection. Toyota's luxury brand has been playing the hybrid game for a while now with converted gas-powered models like the LS, GS and RX hybrids, and few would argue that these models represent the zenith of what a luxury hybrid can be. For that, Lexus finally decided to build a dedicated hybrid model from the ground up, and the result is the HS 250h. Being that the brand's parent company builds the Prius, the industry benchmark for hybrids in terms of both fuel efficiency and popularity, Lexus has, on the one hand, a m... Read More
Just because The Cold War is over doesn't mean that all cold wars have come to an end. Two protagonists in the auto industry – once again, East vs. West – are currently embroiled in an in-car safety and technology arms race that is beginning to look more like NASA vs. Roskosmos than a battle between luxury sedans. The latest master weapon ...

If the Koran promotes hate and violence, what does the Christian bible teach?
|@AlmightyGod on Twitter
• "Fight against them until idolatry [worship of any god other than Allah] is no more and [Allah's] religion [Islam] reigns supreme" (Sura 2:193).
• "Let those who would exchange the life of this world for the hereafter, fight for the cause of [Allah]; whoever fights for the cause of [Allah], whether he dies or triumphs, on him we shall bestow a rich recompense . . . The true believers fight for the cause of [Allah], but the infidels fight for the devil. Fight then against the friends of Satan" (Sura 4:74-76).
• "Those that make war against Allah and His apostle [Muhammad] and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter" (Sura 5:33).
• "Believers, take neither Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship becomes one of their number. [Allah] does not guide the wrongdoers" (Sura 5:51).
• "[Allah] revealed His will to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!' That was because they defied [Allah] and His apostle [Muhammad]. He that defies [Allah] and His apostle shall be sternly punished by [Allah]" (Sura 8:12-13).
• "[Allah] will separate the wicked from the just. He will heap all the wicked [i.e. non-Muslims] one upon another and cast them into Hell. These will surely be the losers" (Sura 8:37).
• "Let not the unbelievers [non-Muslims] think that they will ever get away. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of [Allah] and your enemy, and others besides them who are unknown to you but known to [Allah]" (Sura 8:59-60).
• "Prophet, rouse the faithful to arms. If there are twenty steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish two hundred; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding" (Sura 8:65).
• "A prophet may not take captives until he has fought and triumphed in the land" (Sura 8:67).
• "Make war on them. [Allah] will chastise them at your hands and humble them" (Sura 9:14).
• "Believers, why is it that when you are told: 'March in the cause of [Allah],' you linger slothfully in the land? Are you content with this life in preference to the life to come? Few indeed are the blessings of this life, compared with those of the life to come. If you do not go to war, He will punish you sternly, and will replace you by other men . . . March on and fight for the cause of [Allah], with your wealth and with your persons" (Sura 9:38-41).
• "Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate" (Sura 9:73).
• "They [faithful Muslims] will fight for the cause of [Allah], they will slay and be slain" (Sura 9:111).
• "Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that [Allah] is with the righteous" (Sura 9:123).
• "When We resolve to raze a city, We first give warning to those of its people who live in comfort. If they persist in sin, judgment is irrevocably passed, and We destroy it utterly" (Sura 17:16).
• "We have destroyed many a sinful nation and replaced them by other men. And when they felt Our might they took to their heels and fled. They were told: 'Do not run away. Return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You shall be questioned all.' 'Woe betide us, we have done wrong' was their reply. And this they kept repeating until We mowed them down and put out their light" (Sura 21:11-15).
• "When you meet the unbelievers on the battlefield strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly. Then grant them their freedom or take a ransom from them, until war shall lay down her burdens" (Sura 47:4).
• "Mohammed is [Allah's] apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another" (Sura 48:29).
• "It is He [Allah] who has sent forth His apostle [Muhammad] with guidance and the True Faith [Islam], so that he may exalt it above all religions, much as the idolaters [those who worship gods other than Allah] may dislike it" (Sura 61:9).
All are quoted from the Dawood translation of the Koran.
The Christian bible is just as ruthless as the Koran:
Num 31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Num 31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
Lev 26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
1Sa 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Exo 32:27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, [and] go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
Exo 32:28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Exo 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that [was] in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
Num 25:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Num 25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
Deut 20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; [namely], the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
Jer 50:21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, [even] against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
Fighting and crushing God's enemies? Check Revelation 19:15-21 and Malachi 4:1-3.
Friendship with other faiths? That's condemned in James 4:4.
Separation of the wicked for death and more? That's found in Revelation 20:12-15.
Victory for 20 vs. 200, 100 vs. 1000? Leviticus 26:8 describes victory over enemies defying even greater odds.
For us, we know God is just and perfect in His judgement. We do not go around administering His judgement, as adherents of Islam do. To explain why God will carry these acts out appears ludicrous to society as they do not understand His plan (in that He will resurrect people from the dead).
God tells us "vengance is Mine" whilst Islam tells its followers that "vengance is yours". That is why we should take all these verses verses seriously! Christian or Muslim.

Final Destination: Woman Misses Fatal Air France Flight, Only to Die in Car Crash Days Later
Johanna Ganthaler, an Italian woman and a pensioner from Bolzano-Bozen province and her husband Kurt were on vacation in Brazil. The couple was supposed to take the doomed Air France Flight 447 back to Paris. However, they missed the plane and took a different one home instead. It was just a brief reprieve, however, as she died in a car crash in Austria a few days later. Huff Post

Atheists are often seen as arrogant, uncaring, unspirited, and or criminally minded. Just look at this post found on yahoo answers, its sad to see people put other beliefs under an umbrella but I also understand that posters point of view. The thing we have to realize is, its not always black and white.
Atheists often feel disenfranchised because there are so little of them. Often the most reasonable voice is drowned out by the masses because its the christians who are less able to have an open dialogue when they know very little about their own religion. Being an atheist myself, Ive studied alot of other religions to come to my final conclusion. I was often the "just in case" believer. But at one point after praying I though to myself, What makes me so special? There are dying children in the world from diseases, malnutrition, and im here praying for a certain sports team, a better day at work tomorrow, or hopeful in the fact that I get to see another tomorrow. Its the ultimate form of megalomania, a sad reality for me was when I became so intertwined in the belief and not the message.
Dont get me wrong, the bible has some good moral stories, but it is also filled with hateful vitriol, violence, and downright questionable myths and fables. What makes christians so adamantelly believe their got versus the 400+ others that existed? Even the ones before the Jesus myth. What about Greek Gods? The Crusades? What about the facts like flat earth, 6000 year earth, or no mentions at all about dinosaurs in the bible, unicorns (still nowhere to be found), the missing rib, the 30 years that passed after Jesus' resurection and the bible was written, and what about the poor platipus. What was God thinking with that poor animal? Christians can't even believe in how to teach the bible, verses, and teachings. Why do you think we have so many denominations? They just can't agree!!
The truth is we will never trully know who is right, religion has always fueled wars, and it does so to this day. I just wish someday christians realize that just because you are born again doesnt mean that your past is in the clear. If you dont want to repent your sins, maybe you should'nt have sinned in the first place. Just be good to you and your brothers and listen to one another, we can all find common ground, and in the end, we are all fighting a losing battle. Just always remember, God may or may not exist, but you DO! so what makes YOU so special?

An Uncommon Solution to an Age-Old Challenge:
The program of necessary spaces totaled 119,000 square ft., and it was clear that the quality of the facility must be improved, or the membership plateau would translate into a membership decline. With these constraints and a desire to double the 60,000 square ft., the architect created plans for renovation and addition. Conceptual design construction estimates of $14 to $18 million would solve some of the challenges, but not all. The plans did not include a new jog/ walk track, nor additional class space. Only a single court gym was in the expansion plan. No new locker rooms, multi-purpose room, community room, youth / teen program space, nor meeting rooms were in the expansion plan. The expansion would also create reduced parking capacity.
Is An Entirely New Facility a Better Answer?
Questions were raised from the conceptualization of the community's vision. Braun & Steidl then issued the "Comparisons of Data" report that addressed the missing program issues not included in the renovation study with the possibility of creating a new stand-alone City Recreation/ Wellness Center. A new facility was considered including a partnership with the hospital for corporate wellness programs.
Research Generates Options for Community's Vision
Many individual meetings between Richard Pierson, Superintendent of Parks and Recreation and each councilperson to review the project status were key to our success. Also critical were visitations to local and out of state community recreation centers, that revealed what could be built. These centers are beautiful expressions of new community identity. All these centers were bright, airy, spacious, with an abundance of glass that brought the outside site to the indoors. A visit to the new Middleburg Heights Community Center raised the bar for quality.
Open houses were held for patrons at "The Nat," and a public meeting was held to review original surveys and discuss future potential options for development. At the conclusion, the vision still included all the previously stated rooms, and lastly, the public was in favor of locating the facility in the same central area of downtown.
Making the Right Choices to Achieve the Community's Vision
In June 2000, City Council approved a contract with Braun & Steidl Architects (Architect of Record), Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture (Design Architect), McHenry & Associates (Mechanical and Electrical Engineers), Thorson Baker Structural Engineers, and Water Technology, Inc. Turner Construction Company, a construction manager, was retained by the City to examine the construction costs of the facility. The existing facility was examined and key issues discovered structural deterioration, ventilation codes and equipment inadequacies, pool filtration systems degradation, and lack of ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) compliance. These issues were applicable to all four additions and the original building. The resulting study reflected that the community's vision would be best met by a new facility. An extensive process was implemented to develop a new program and concept for a stand-alone facility located just south of the existing building. This months-long process included writing a statement of goals, re-writing of an architectural program, development of several conceptual plans, arriving at a single concept, defining specific spaces and components, and the consideration of a "Civic Complex" that tied the new Recreation/ Wellness Center into the context of the City Hall, Municipal Courts Building, and High School campus.
Can we afford it? Advancing the Community's Vision to Reality
Turner Construction provided a detailed cost estimate of $24 million. A construction timetable was established to complete the design work, break ground in the fall of 2002, open the Center in the summer of 2004 and finish site construction in the fall of 2004. At that time, the revenue/ expense model needed to be validated.

Conditional Undergraduate Admission
Conditional undergraduate admission may be offered to applicants who do not meet the university's English language requirement or who need more university preparation and English language study before entering a degree program. Students do not need a TOEFL or IELTS score to apply. However, before beginning to take regular university classes and moving into full admission status, students will need to demonstrate a high level of academic English ability, equivalent to Western's English language requirement, through the Intensive English Program (IEP) coursework.
Conditional admission students attend the Intensive English Program full-time for a minimum of one quarter. Before enrolling in their first regular university classes and earning credit towards a Bachelor's degree, students first need to successfully complete the final level of IEP. During the first quarter of regular admission, conditional admission students enroll in Western's Bridge Program, which includes university credit courses offered by the English Department, Communications Department, and other academic units at Western.
Students may apply for Conditional Admission by first enrolling in the Intensive English Program, or they may apply for conditional admission concurrently with IEP. On the International Student Undergraduate Application, applicants should check that they are "Seeking Conditional Admission to Western" to indicate this choice. Note that two applications, to both the Office of Admissions and to the Intensive English Program, are required.
Applicants must fulfill all other requirements for undergraduate admission, including having competitive grades from previous high school or post-secondary institutions. Freshmen applicants need to have completed foundation coursework in English, humanities, mathematics, natural/physical sciences and social sciences. For transfer applicants, academic coursework and experiences related to one's academic area of interest will strengthen the application.
How to Apply for Conditional Undergraduate Admission:
- Complete the IEP application: www.wwu.edu/iep
- Complete the conditional admission Application
- Submit your conditional admission application, the IEP application, and all application materials to:
Email: email@example.com

Welcome to Codosaur.us, home of Codosaurus, LLC! You've probably got a lot of questions, so let's dive right in. Here are the most common FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
Mainly I do custom software development, and occasionally some training. I'll also help out fellow geeks as a subcontractor, programming pair, etc. If there's anything else likely you want, just ask me.
Mainly web applications, especially the back end, but I can do other things too. I've done lots of other server and command-line apps, some front-end web work, a bit of desktop GUI work, and have started dabbling in mobile.
Companies of any size, mainly ones that either use software in the delivery of their products or services, or provide software development services themselves (use me as a subcontractor). You can find some examples, and further explanation, on the clients page.
I was trying to avoid making the non-geeks' eyes glaze over, but if you really want the mind-numbing details, see the Technologies page.
Mostly Ruby, Rails, and software development techniques like TDD (Test Driven Development), BDD (Behavior Driven Development), pair programming, and Agile principles. I've also trained people on information security principles (such as CISSP prep classes), assorted specific products, public speaking, and many other things. If needed, I'll teach pretty much anything. If it's a subject I don't already know, but I'm interested in it, I'll learn it.
Yes; I am current available for about 40 hours per week. I can do that all for one client, or break it up among multiple part-time clients.
Mainly, Ruby on Rails contracts I can do from home. However, I'll also consider other technologies, temporary employment, a reasonable commute (Northern Virginia, within about fifteen miles from Fairfax City), or even a short gig (up to about a month) away from home on per-diem. I am not open to longer contracts on the road, "permanent" employment, or relocation.
My rate depends on many factors. The main easily applied one is the commute. Long story short, as mentioned on my Contract Terms page, travel time counts, but most clients want the commuting time charges rolled into the rate rather than billed explicitly.
So, if you want me onsite every weekday, half an hour away, that puts it at $135 per hour on 1099, or $113 per hour on W2. By contrast, if you'll let me work remotely, that's only $120/hr on 1099 or $100/hr on W2.
There is some wiggle room, but it's in both directions! So, while you might be able to talk me into a lower rate, the other (generally more subjective) factors might in fact result in a higher rate.
I'm also willing to work for a daily or weekly rate. I'll even work on a fixed-price project basis, if the work is very well understood, but it generally means a much higher estimated net rate, and far less flexibility for both of us.
- Don't bother contacting me about Verisign (unless you're with Celerity or the work doesn't start until March 2015), Gannett, Bloomberg, Comcast, or OnLife Health. It's not necessarily anything against them, but there are contractual obligations, prior submissions, etc.
- To see what sort of terms I prefer to work on, see my Contract Terms page.
- If you want the gory details of languages, frameworks, systems, etc., see the Technologies page.
Of course, you probably have a lot more questions! Just ask!

getmail config in ISPConfig
I recently installed Ubuntu 6.06 and followed The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server (Dapper Drake) as well as the ISPconfig guide. I created one e-mail domain with one mailbox and a few aliases.
That seems to work just fine. However, I was wondering if it is possible to configure getmail using ISPconfig. I have still a remote POP3 mailbox for which I would like the mail to end up in this mail box as well. On another system, I used getmail for that, but I'm not sure if I again need to do that manually or if ISPconfig can be of any assistance there ?
ISPConfig is not able tonfigure getmail or fetchmail, you will have to setup this manually.

Changing the fuel filter is an important part of a standard car service. Fuel filters are a major part of a car's fuel supply system and should be changed annually. Some fuel filters come with a lifetime guarantee. While a fuel filter may still be working for the lifetime of the car, it will decrease in effectiveness over time, and it is best for the car's efficiency and also safer to replace the fuel filters regularly. This is especially true of diesel cars and other vehicles, fitted with a diesel fuel filter.
The first reason to change your fuel filter is as a preventative measure. To avoid damage and reduce wear on other parts of the engine, replacing the fuel filter is vital. It also helps to avoid plugging up. Being in regular contact with moisture causes corrosion and the debris from the corrosion can flow into the fuel tank when refuelling. In vehicles with a high mileage the fuel filter should be replaced at least every year.
Petrol or diesel can sometimes be contaminated with alcohol blends. Your fuel filter prevents this contamination from getting into the fuel tank, but if the filter is old and worn it won't work correctly, and can let other substances into your tank, which will reduce the performance of your car.
It can be tricky to know when to change your fuel filter. Following the service schedule is a popular and highly recommended method, but there are other ways to check if the filter needs changed. For example, a DIY method involves removing the filter and blowing through it. If the air doesn't flow through, then you might need a replacement. Keep your lips well clear of the filter though, you don't want to get petrol in your mouth!
If your engine sometimes starts running, and then dies, it is possibly due to a choked filter. The filter is restricting the flow of fuel to engine parts like the fuel injectors or the carburettor, and the motor cannot keep running without fuel.

Time for a check in!
Anything new? An update from a long lost post? Any lurkers out there that want to pop in and say hello?
As for me, been married now 4 months and loving every minute of it. Perfect? Of course not. But still tickled to death to be married. Having some struggles with DD13, but her and DH are getting a long really well. She still gets mad, but their R as a whole is as about good as it gets with a 13 year old girl.
Any fears or concerns with the upcoming holidays? Ours are getting better, but I still have a bit of underlying stress over it.
So my MSMW peeps, let's hear it!

Serenity, glad to hear your marriage is going well.
Things aren't getting much better here, DH is still fighting for more time with his kids and the BM just moved less than a mile away, we see her more than we would like. (Im still getting the hang of the lingo here so bear with me) My Step son and step daughter basically tell their mother every little thing about what goes on in our home, so it feels like we have little spies here. That's uncomfortable, to say the least. I guess they tell her they don't want to come here, their actions show otherwise though. My stepdaughter seems to be acting very jealous of my relationship with DH (standing between us, the moment he gets up from sitting next to me she is right next to him, doesn't talk to him much when I'm there, etc) and DH thinks I'm being "paranoid" by thinking she has a problem with me. Fun teenager stuff.

Hey you two, glad someone was able to reply! Yes, even though it seems people can sign on okay, just so many little annoyances still exist.
Just when I am about ready to jump ship, it seems we get a new poster.
Serenity CL making a second marriage work
|Fri, 11-15-2013 - 7:36am
Hi, all! I admit since all the changes, I rarely even try to sign in anymore, but it was nice to see a couple posts. Things have really quieted down here.
My second marriage ist still going...but it's been a rough year and we almost didn't make it. SS20 was still living with us...dh trying to move him forward, HIM doing drugs again. I was frustrated with both of them and threatened to move out. Long story short, dh kicked SS20 out, he came back a week later (AGAIN) all beat up after using meth for a week. Dh got him into rehab where he's finished and is now living in a halfway house and looking for a job. He continues to be a problem in our marriage because dh still wants to talk about him and I don't. I've disengaged and simply don't want to hear about him until he's been on the straight and narrow for at least a year and has gotten a life. My biggest nightmare is him moving back iin with us and the drug merry-go-round happening again. I told dh if SS20 moved back in, I'd move out which dh would let me do. His favorite saying is "I have an obligation to my son!" He'll be 21 next month, so really...at what age is that obligation over??? We've fully supported this kid for 3 years while he's ruined his life with drugs and I'm done and have disengaged which dh hates because he still wants to talk to me about him.
Now dh has lost his job, so we are struggling with that diemma and all dh seems to do is worry about his kid...saying things like WE can't afford to pay COBRA for health insurance. THAT money could buy SS20 a used car one day and how is SS20 going to be able to continue his meds (anxiety & depression) AHHHHHH DH doesn't even have a car (he had a company car) and he and I will be risking everything if we don't have insurance and something happened to one of us. I wish dh would worry more about us and let the government help his son as the older 2 are doing. geez
Do I wish I'd married a man with normal kids like mine? Yes. Absolutely. I thought I could handle all his sons addictions and I found out this year I can't nor do I want to. I just hope SS20 gets on his feet and on his way. We thought he might join the military as he was looking into THAT this summer, but told dh not long ago, he let it drop as he knew he wouldn't pass the drug test. geez
One a positive note, my DD28 is getting married a year from now, but on the east coast which mean airline tickets, hotel room, etc...and I worry...She's having a bridal shower next summer I will need to attend. More $$$ My DD29 is doing well in CA...has a new boyfriend. DD26 I had to take a break from as she hurt me deeply. She still feels I chose dh over my children and will "never forgive that". DD22 is the one I'm closest to and see her once or twice a month. She's a senior in college and the light of my life.
Sorry I didn't have more good news for you all. I look back on the 5 years dh and I have been together and cannot believe all we've endured...his aneuryisms, his kids drug use, now a job loss. :( Well...you know what they say..."That that doesn't kill us!" I'm just trying at this point to keep dh going and not get down. He's home every day alone...no company...nothing to do. He's already going stir crazy after only 2 weeks of unemployment.
Glad to see you all again. Serenity...SO happy for you in getting married again. :) Glad to hear things are going well.
|Fri, 11-15-2013 - 12:03pm
So good to see you Starting! I feel for both you and your DH. None of it is easy.
I was actually thinking of you a couple days ago as me and DH were talking about Thanksgiving and my family. My DH feels slighted and thinks my two grown kids are rude to him. Maybe so, but in an indirect way and not intentional. Little things like not saying "hello" to DH when they come by (which is rare) or at a family event. They truly are not outright rude, they just aren't around him enough to get into any kind of groove.
We both have kind of accepted that although we wish it was different, it is not the end of the world and we focus on our our marriage and my DD13. I can develop with my grown kids, regardless.
I am going to send you a private message. Again, so good to hear from you!
|Fri, 11-22-2013 - 3:05pm
Hello everyone!
I'm a sometimes lurker. I check this board periodically for input because my situation is a bit different.
I've never been married but my BF is divorced. Therefore, if we get married then it will be his 2nd.
Before him, I was never seriously involved with a divorced man and at times really struggled with it. They didn't have any kids but were married for 15 years. He was separated when we started dating and has now been divorced a little over a year. I say all the time- I would NEVER date a separated man again and tell all of my GF's not to.
He's a good man and I love him. My issue is that I sometimes grapple with the idea of being someone's "second wife". When you are a little girl and growing up, this isn't what you imagine for yourself. I can't change that he has already walked down the aisle with someone but admit that sometimes I feel bummed out about it. (Hey, the solution to that would have been to never get involved with someone who was married before!)
Is this the biggest deal in the world? No. And it doesn't stop me from wanting to be with him. It is just something I ponder occasionally.
Boy is this depressing! I'm sorry because I just meant to introduce myself! :) Here is something good: It is Friday and work is done in about two hours!
|Mon, 11-25-2013 - 1:13pm
Hi Nad, good to see you.
This board can still definately be helpful, I am sure. If him and his xW didn't have any children, that will make a big difference. Can't say it will eliminate all troubles, but lessens the load.
Hope you stick around.
|Tue, 11-26-2013 - 11:09am
Hi, I'm still lurking--it's too bad the activity has gone down on all the boards after the changes. I'm no longer in the 2nd marriage--we got divorced 5 yrs ago I think. I have occasional contact w/ 2nd DH--we still own the house together & will have to sell it next year after my youngest graduates from high school. I really have no emotional attachment to the house, even though I've lived there 25 yrs--it's actually hard to maintain a big house by myself, but it will be a pain in the neck to move to a smaller place & clean everything out. When I have to talk to ex, things are fine. I think he is doing much better (he has bipolar disorder) living by himself, riding his motorcycle and doing whatever he wants w/o having to have other people around. I think it was too much for him to deal with living w/ 3 kids--too bad I didn't know that before we got married. My kids are doing well. My DD is 24--she moved away to get a nursing job & she likes it and also has a BF. My DS is 18, very smart & looking at colleges. Things are a lot more peaceful not having 2nd DH and his DD around, I can tell you that. Unfortunately I haven't dated hardly at all--it seems like when you are a woman over 50, you might as well fall off the face of the earth--I have so many single friends who are great women who can't find anyone either. But at least I have a lot of single friends now. I took up ballroom dancing about 2 1/2 yrs ago and met a lot of nice people to do things with. It just would be nice to have a date once in a while. I am not ever looking to get married again but a relationship would be nice.

BOSTON- A Greenfield man was convicted late yesterday in federal court of possessing and receiving child pornography.
Louis Kevin Wieprecht, 57, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV to a Superseding Information charging one count of possession of material involving the sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of receiving such material.
Had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that in October 2010, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Wieprecht's residence during which time they located, among other items, an HP Pavilion desktop computer. During the execution of the search warrant, Wieprecht admitted that he used his computer to collect videos of child pornography over peer-to-peer file-sharing networks and that he permitted other peer-to-peer users access to his child pornography files. Wieprecht's computer was examined by law enforcement, and approximately 400 videos containing child pornography were found, some of which were received in August 2010. Many of the files were explicitly named and contained graphic depictions of very young children subjected to rape and sexual torture.
Judge Saylor scheduled sentencing for April 13, 2012. Wieprecht faces up to 10 years in federal prison on the possession count and between five and 20 years on the receipt count. He could receive up to a lifetime of supervised release following his incarceration, a $250,000 fine, and forfeiture of his computer media.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; Bruce M. Foucart, Special Agent in Charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, and David Guilbault, Chief of the Greenfield Police Department made the announcement today. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven H. Breslow of Ortiz's Springfield Branch Office.

Motorola Hints at Wearable Devices
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Google's (GOOG) vision for Motorola Mobility may be finally starting to take shape. Instead of just turning out Android smartphones to compete with other manufacturers, Google could be turning Motorola into its own wearable computer division. All thanks to one very discrete job listing.
Motorola is looking for a person to lead the way. The job posting on an employment Website looking for a Senior Director of Industrial Design for Wearables.
The description reads, "Our ambition is to make Motorola a recognized leader in design of all things mobile. We will do this by creating product experiences that are lead by consumer insight and intuition, keen design sensibility and cutting edge technologies. We want our products and brand to be experienced and loved by millions of people worldwide. We want to create the new Motorola.
Specifically, the Industrial Design Team collaborates closely with our internal work partners to create compelling, usable and innovative products that define our brand with over a million consumers worldwide. The wearables design team will lead the establishment of our brand in the massive competitive and growing space of wearable connected products."The Motorola brand isn't new to wearable devices. Prior to being owned by Google, the company had a history of creating ultra-portable computing devices, including smartwatch called "Motoactiv." A focus on wearable computers makes sense. The smartphone market has begun to mature. There is little differentiation between Motorola smartphones and competing models from Samsung, HTC, LG and others. Most but not all of what smartphones can do has already been explored. Several technology companies, including the aforementioned names, are currently exploring the wearable device market. Rivals Apple (AAPL) with its rumored iWatch, and Microsoft (MSFT) are said to also be working on wearable technology, with smartwatches the devices most often rumored to be in development. Google has done little with Motorola since buying it two years ago. It has looked like an investment without any sort of real direction. Now, the idea that Google might turn into Moto into its exclusive wearable computer division reinforces Google's need to keep the brand vibrant, meaningful and solvent. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.
