Jericho (/ˈdʒɛrɪkoʊ/; Arabic: أريحا ʾArīḥā [ʔaˈriːħaː] ( ); Hebrew: יריחו Yeriẖo) is a city located near the Jordan River in the West Bank. It is the administrative seat of the Jericho Governorate. In 2007, it had a population of 18,346.[2] The city was occupied by Jordan from 1949 to 1967, and has been held under Israeli occupation since 1967; administrative control was handed over to the Palestinian Authority in 1994.[3][4] It is believed to be one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world.[5][6][7]
Archaeologists have unearthed the remains of more than 20 successive settlements in Jericho, the first of which dates back 11,000 years (9000 BCE),[8] almost to the very beginning of the Holocene epoch of the Earth's history.
Jericho is described in the Hebrew Bible as the "City of Palm Trees". Copious springs in and around the city attracted human habitation for thousands of years.[9]
Jericho's name in Hebrew, Yeriẖo, is thought to derive from Canaanite word Reaẖ ("fragrant"), though an alternative theory holds that it is derived from the word meaning "moon" (Yareaẖ) in Canaanite, since the city was an early centre of worship for lunar deities.[10]
Jericho's Arabic name, 'Arīḥā, means "fragrant" and derives from same Canaanite word Reaẖ, of the same meaning as in Hebrew.[11][12][13][14]
The city may be the oldest continuously occupied city in the world.[15]
Jericho has evidence of settlement dating back to 10,000 BCE. During the Younger Dryas period of cold and drought, permanent habitation of any one location was not possible. However, the spring at what would become Jericho was a popular camping ground for Natufian hunter-gatherer groups, who left a scattering of crescent microlith tools behind them.[16] Around 9600 BCE the droughts and cold of the Younger Dryas Stadial had come to an end, making it possible for Natufian groups to extend the duration of their stay, eventually leading to year round habitation and permanent settlement.
The first permanent settlement on the site of Jericho developed near the Ein as-Sultan spring between 10,000 and 9000 BCE.[17][18] As the world warmed, a new culture based on agriculture and sedentary dwelling emerged, which archaeologists have termed "Pre-Pottery Neolithic A" (abbreviated as PPNA). PPNA villages are characterized by small circular dwellings, burials of the dead within the floors of buildings, reliance on hunting wild game, the cultivation of wild or domestic cereals, and no use of pottery. At Jericho, circular dwellings were built of clay and straw bricks left to dry in the sun, which were plastered together with a mud mortar. Each house measured about 5 metres (16 ft) across, and was roofed with mud-smeared brush. Hearths were located within and outside the homes.[19]
By about 9400 BCE the town had grown to more than 70 modest dwellings.[citation needed] Estimates put the population as high as two to three thousand people and as low as two to three hundred.[20] Most strikingly, this early town featured a massive stone wall over 3.6 metres (12 ft) high and 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) wide at the base. Inside this wall stood a tower over 3.6 metres (12 ft) high, containing an internal staircase with 22 stone steps.[12][21] The wall and tower have no known precedent in human culture, and would have taken a hundred men more than a hundred days to construct. The wall may have served as a defence against flood-water, with the tower used for ceremonial purposes.[20]
After a few centuries the first settlement was abandoned. A second settlement, established in 6800 BCE, perhaps represents the work of an invading people who absorbed the original inhabitants into their dominant culture. Artifacts dating from this period include ten plastered human skulls, painted so as to reconstitute the individuals' features.[12] These represent the first example of portraiture in art history,[dubious ] and it is thought that they were kept in people's homes while the bodies were buried.[7][22]
A succession of settlements followed from 4500 BCE onward, the largest constructed in 2600 BCE.[12]
Archaeological evidence indicates that in the later half of the Middle Bronze Age (MBE, c. 1700 BCE) the city enjoyed some prosperity, its walls having been strengthened and expanded.[23] The MBE period and following centuries have engendered controversy due to their importance in the Biblical story of conquest of the "promised land" by the Israelites, during which the walls of the city are supposed to have collapsed, allowing the Israelites led by Joshua to enter the town. John Garstang, who excavated in the 1930s, announced that he had found fallen walls dating to the time of the biblical Battle of Jericho.[24] However, Garstang later revised the destruction to a much earlier period.[24] Kathleen Kenyon dated the destruction of the walled city to the middle of the 16th century (c. 1550 BCE), too early to match the Bible story (assuming the traditional date), on the basis of her excavations in the early 1950s.[25] The same conclusion, based on an analysis of all the excavation findings, was reached by Piotr Bienkowski.[26] Kenyon's dating was challenged by Bryant Wood in 1990, largely on the argument that Kenyon had misinterpreted the ceramic evidence.[27] William Dever accused Wood of deceiving the public, while Bienkowski accused Wood of multiple errors, which Wood strenuously denied.[28][29][30] In 1995, Bruins and var der Plicht announced radiocarbon dating of the city destruction to between 1617 and 1530 BCE, agreeing with Kenyon.[31]
After the destruction of the city, occupation was minor until about the 11th century.[24]
In the 8th century BCE the Assyrians invaded from the north, followed by the Babylonians, and Jericho was depopulated between 586 and 538 BCE, the period of the Jewish exile to Babylon. Cyrus the Great, the Persian king, refounded the city one mile (1.6 km) southeast of its historic site at the mound of Tell es-Sultan and returned the Jewish exiles after conquering Babylon in 539 BCE.[12]
Jericho went from being an administrative centre of Yehud Medinata ("the Province of Judah") under Persian rule to serving as the private estate of Alexander the Great between 336 and 323 BCE after his conquest of the region. In the middle of the 2nd century BCE Jericho was under Hellenistic rule of the Seleucid Empire, when the Syrian General Bacchides built a number of forts to strengthen the defences of the area around Jericho against the revolt by the Macabees.[32] One of these forts, built at the entrance to Wadi Qelt, was later refortified by Herod the Great, who named it Kypros after his mother.[33]
The city came to be ruled by the Hasmoneans, a dynasty descending from a priestly group (kohanim) from the Tribe of Levi, following the success of the Maccabean Revolt, and remained such until the Roman influence over the area brought Herod to claim the Hasmonean throne of Judea.
Herod originally leased Jericho from Cleopatra, after Mark Antony gave it to her as a gift. After their joint suicide in 30 BCE, Octavian assumed control of the Roman Empire and granted Herod absolute rule over Jericho, as part of the new Herodian domain. Herod's rule oversaw the construction of a hippodrome-theatre (Tel es-Samrat) to entertain his guests and new aqueducts to irrigate the area below the cliffs and reach his winter palace built at the site of Tulul al-Alaiq.[33]
The dramatic murder of Aristobulus III in a swimming pool in Jericho, as told by the Roman Jewish historian Josephus, took place during a banquet organized by Herod's Hasmonean mother-in-law. After the construction of its palaces the city had functioned not only as an agricultural center and as a crossroad but as a winter resort for Jerusalem's aristocracy.[34]
Herod was succeeded in Judea by his son, Archelus, who built an adjacent village in his name, Archelais, to house workers for his date plantation (Khirbet al-Beiyudat). First-century Jericho is described in Strabo's Geography as follows:
Jericho is a plain surrounded by a kind of mountainous country, which in a way, slopes toward it like a theatre. Here is the Phoenicon, which is mixed also with all kinds of cultivated and fruitful trees, though it consists mostly of palm trees. It is 100 stadia in length and is everywhere watered with streams. Here also are the Palace and the Balsam Park."[33]
The rock-cut tombs of a Herodian and Hasmonean era cemetery lie in the lowest part of the cliffs between Nuseib al-Aweishireh and Jebel Quruntul in Jericho and were used between 100 BCE and 68 CE.[33]
The Christian Gospels state that Jesus of Nazareth passed through Jericho where he healed one[35][36] or two[37] blind beggars and inspired a local chief tax-collector named Zacchaeus to repent of his dishonest practices. The road between Jerusalem and Jericho is the setting for the Parable of the Good Samaritan[38]
After the fall of Jerusalem to Vespasian's armies in the Great Revolt of Judea in 70 CE, Jericho declined rapidly, and by 100 CE it was but a small Roman garrison town.[39] A fort was built there in 130 and played a role in putting down the Bar Kochba revolt in 133. Accounts of Jericho by a Christian pilgrim are given in 333. Shortly thereafter the built-up area of the town was abandoned and a Byzantine Jericho, Ericha, was built a mile (1.61 km) to the east, around which the modern town is centred.[39] Christianity took hold in the city during the Byzantine era and the area was heavily populated. A number of monasteries and churches were built, including St George of Koziba in 340 CE and a domed church dedicated to Saint Eliseus.[34] At least two synagogues were also built in the 6th century CE.[33] The monasteries were abandoned after the Persian invasion of 614.[12]
Jericho, by then named "Ariha" in Arabic variation, became part Jund Filastin ("Military District of Palestine"), part of the larger province of Bilad al-Sham. The Arab Muslim historian Musa b. 'Uqba (d. 758) recorded that caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab exiled the Jews and Christians of Khaybar to Jericho (and Tayma).[40]
By 659, that district had come under the control of Mu'awiya, founder of the Umayyad dynasty. That year, an earthquake destroyed Jericho.[41] A decade later the pilgrim Arculf visited Jericho and found it in ruins, all its "miserable Canaanite" inhabitants now dispersed in shantytowns around the Dead Sea shore.[42]
The tenth Umayyad caliph, Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, built a palatial complex known as Khirbet al-Mafjar about one mile (1.6 km) north of Tell as-Sultan in 743, and two mosques, a courtyard, mosaics, and other items from it can still be seen in situ today, despite its having been partially destroyed in an earthquake in 747.
Umayyad rule ended in 750 and was followed by the Arab caliphates of the Abbasid and Fatimid dynasties. Irrigated agriculture was developed under Islamic rule, reaffirming Jericho's reputation as a fertile "City of the Palms".[43] Al-Maqdisi, the Arab geographer, wrote in 985 that, "the water of Jericho is held to be the highest and best in all Islam. Bananas are plentiful, also dates and flowers of fragrant odor."[44] Jericho is also referred to by him as one of the principal cities of Jund Filastin.[45]
The city flourished until 1071 with the invasion of the Seljuk Turks, followed by the upheavals of the Crusades.[citation needed]
In 1179, the Crusaders rebuilt the Monastery of St. George of Koziba, at its original site six miles (9.7 km) from the center of town. They also built another two churches and a monastery dedicated to John the Baptist, and are credited with introducing sugarcane production to the city.[46] In 1187, the Crusaders were evicted by the Ayyubid forces of Saladin after their victory in the Battle of Hattin, and the town slowly went into decline.[12]
In 1226, Arab geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi said of Jericho, "it has many palm trees, also sugarcane in quantities, and bananas. The best of all the sugar in the Ghaur land is made here." In the 14th century, Abu al-Fida writes there are sulfur mines in Jericho, "the only ones in Palestine."[47]
In the late years of Ottoman rule, Jericho formed part of the waqf and imerat of Jerusalem. The villagers processed indigo as one source of revenue, using a cauldron specifically for this purpose that was loaned to them by the Ottoman authorities in Jerusalem.[48] For most of the Ottoman period, Jericho was a small village of farmers susceptible to attacks by Bedouins. The French traveller Laurent d'Arvieux described the city in 1659 as "now desolate, and consists only of about fifty poor houses, in bad condition... The plain around is extremely fertile; the soil is middling fat; but it is watered by several rivulets, which flow into the Jordan. Notwithstanding these advantages only the gardens adjacent to the town are cultivated."[49] In the 19th century, European scholars, archaeologists and missionaries visited often. The first excavation at Tell as-Sultan was carried out in 1867, and the monasteries of St. George of Koziba and John the Baptist were refounded and completed in 1901 and 1904, respectively.[12]
After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I, Jericho came under the rule of the Mandatory Palestine. The British built fortresses in Jericho during World War II with the help of the Jewish company Solel Boneh, and bridges were rigged with explosives in preparation for a possible invasion by German allied forces.[50]
In 1927, an earthquake struck and affected Jericho and other cities. Around 300 people died.[51]
Jericho was occupied by Transjordan during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The Jericho Conference, organized by King Abdullah and attended by over 2,000 Palestinian delegates in 1948 proclaimed "His Majesty Abdullah as King of all Palestine" and called for "the unification of Palestine and Transjordan as a step toward full Arab unity." In mid-1950, Jordan formally annexed the West Bank and Jericho residents, like other residents of West Bank localities became Jordanian citizens.[52]
Jericho was occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967 along with the rest of the West Bank. It was the first city handed over to Palestinian Authority control in accordance with the Oslo accords.[53] The limited Palestinian self-rule of Jericho was agreed on in the Gaza–Jericho Agreement of 4 May 1994. Part of the Gaza–Jericho Agreement was a Protocol on Economic Relations, signed on 29 April 1994.[54] The city is in an enclave of the Jordan Valley that is in Area A of the West Bank, while the surrounding area is designated as being in Area C under full Israeli military control. Four roadblocks encircle the enclave, restricting Jericho's Palestinian population's movement through the West Bank.[55]
In response to the 2001 Second Intifada and suicide bombings, Jericho was re-occupied by Israeli troops.[53] A 2-metre (6 ft 7 in) deep trench was built around a large part of the city to control Palestinian traffic to and from Jericho.[56]
On 14 March 2006, the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Bringing Home the Goods, raiding a Jericho prison to capture PFLP general secretary, Ahmad Sa'adat and five other prisoners charged with assassinating Israeli tourist minister Rehavam Zeevi who were about to be released.[57]
After Hamas assaulted a neighborhood in Gaza mostly populated by the Fatah-aligned Hilles clan in response to their attack on Hamas which killed six of its members, the Hilles clan was relocated to Jericho on 4 August 2008.[58] The city's current mayor is Hassan Saleh, a former lawyer.
In 2009, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs David Johnson inaugurated the Presidential Guard Training Center in Jericho, a $9.1 million training facility for Palestinian Authority security forces built with U.S. funding.[59]
Jericho is located 258 metres (846 ft) below sea level in an oasis in Wadi Qelt in the Jordan Valley.[6][12][60] The nearby spring of Ein es-Sultan produces 3.8 m3 (1,000 gallons) of water per minute, irrigating some 10 square kilometres (2,500 acres) through multiple channels and feeding into the Jordan River, 10 kilometres (6 mi) away.[12][60] Annual rainfall is 160 mm (6.4 in), mostly concentrated between November and February. The average temperature is 15 °C (59 °F) in January and 31 °C (88 °F) in August. The constant sunshine, rich alluvial soil, and abundant water from the spring have always made Jericho an attractive place for settlement.[60]
Demographics have varied widely depending on the dominant ethnic group and rule in the region over the past three thousand years. In a 1945 land and population survey by Sami Hadawi, 3,010 inhabitants is the figure given for Jericho, of which 94% (2840) were Arab and 6% (170) were Jews.[61]
In the first census carried out by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), in 1997, Jericho's population was 14,674. Palestinian refugees constituted a significant 43.6% of the residents or 6,393 people.[62] The gender make-up of the city was 51% male and 49% female. Jericho has a young population, with nearly half (49.2%) of the inhabitants being under the age of 20. People between the ages of 20 and 44 made up 36.2% of the population, 10.7% between the ages of 45 and 64, and 3.6% were over the age of 64.[63] The Christian community makes up around 1% of the population.[64]
In the 2007 census by the PCBS, Jericho had a population of 18,346.[2]
In 1994, Israel and the Palestinians signed an economic accord that enabled Palestinians in Jericho to open banks, collect taxes and engage in export and import in preparation for self-rule.[65]
In 1998, a $150 million casino-hotel was built in Jericho with the backing of Yasser Arafat.[66]
One of Jericho's primary sources of income is Christian tourism. A cable car takes Christian pilgrims up the hill to the Mount of Temptation, topped by a Greek Orthodox monastery with panoramic views of the region.[3] In 2010, Jericho, with its proximity to the Dead Sea, was declared the most popular destination among Palestinian tourists.[67]
Agriculture is another source of income, with banana groves ringing the city.[3]
The Jericho Agro-Industrial Park is a public-private enterprise being developed in the Jericho area. Agricultural processing companies are being offered financial concessions to lease plots of land in the park in a bid to boost Jericho's economy.[68]
In 1925, Christian friars opened a school for 100 pupils that became the Terra Santa School. The city has 22 state schools and a number of private schools.[64]
In April 2010, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) held a groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of the Jericho Governmental Hospital. USAID is providing $2.5 million in funding for this project.[69]
The first excavations of the site were made by Charles Warren in 1868. Ernst Sellin and Carl Watzinger excavated Tell es-Sultan and Tulul Abu el-'Alayiq between 1907–1909 and in 1911, and John Garstang excavated between 1930 and 1936. Extensive investigations using more modern techniques were made by Kathleen Kenyon between 1952 and 1958. Lorenzo Nigro and Nicolo Marchetti conducted excavations in 1997-2000. Since 2009 the Italian-Palestinian archaeological project of excavation and restoration was resumed by Rome "La Sapienza" University and Palestinian MOTA-DACH under the direction of Lorenzo Nigro and Hamdan Taha (www.lasapienzatojericho.it).
The earliest settlement was located at the present-day Tell es-Sultan (or Sultan's Hill), a couple of kilometers from the current city. In Arabic and in Hebrew, tell means "mound" - consecutive layers of habitation built up a mound over time, as is common for ancient settlements in the Middle East and Anatolia. Jericho is the type site for the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPN A) and B periods.
Epipaleolithic—construction at the site appears to predate the invention of agriculture, with the construction of Natufian culture structures beginning earlier than 9000 BCE, the very beginning of the Holocene epoch in geologic history.[7]
Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (8350 – 7370 BCE); sometimes it is called Sultanian. The site is a 40,000 square metres (430,000 sq ft) settlement surrounded by the Wall of Jericho, with the Tower of Jericho in the centre of one wall. Along with Tell Qaramel, this is one of the first walls ever to be discovered, thus suggesting some kind of social organization. The town contained round mud-brick houses, yet no street planning.[70] The identity and number of the inhabitants (some sources say 2000–3000 dwellers)[8] of Jericho during the PPN A period is still under debate, though it is known that they had domesticated emmer wheat, barley and pulses and hunted wild animals.
Pre-Pottery Neolithic B, 7220 to 5850 BCE (but carbon-14-dates are few and early). Expanded range of domesticated plants. Possible domestication of sheep. Apparent cult involving the preservation of human skulls, with facial features reconstructed from plaster and eyes set with shells in some cases.
After the PPN A settlement-phase there was a settlement hiatus of several centuries, then the PPN B settlement was founded on the eroded surface of the tell. The architecture consisted of rectilinear buildings made of mudbricks on stone foundations. The mudbricks were loaf-shaped with deep thumb prints to facilitate bounding. No building has been excavated in its entirety. Normally, several rooms cluster around a central courtyard. There is one big room (6.5 m × 4 m (21.33 ft × 13.12 ft) and 7 m × 3 m (22.97 ft × 9.84 ft)) with internal divisions, the rest are small, presumably used for storage. The rooms have red or pinkish terrazzo-floors made of lime. Some impressions of mats made of reeds or rushes have been preserved. The courtyards have clay floors.
Kathleen Kenyon interpreted one building as a shrine. It contained a niche in the wall. A chipped pillar of volcanic stone that was found nearby might have fit into this niche.
The dead were buried under the floors or in the rubble fill of abandoned buildings. There are several collective burials. Not all the skeletons are completely articulated, which may point to a time of exposure before burial. A skull cache contained seven skulls. The jaws were removed and the faces covered with plaster; cowries were used as eyes. A total of ten skulls were found. Modelled skulls were found in Tell Ramad and Beisamoun as well.
Other finds included flints, such as arrowheads (tanged or side-notched), finely denticulated sickle-blades, burins, scrapers, a few tranchet axes, obsidian, and green obsidian from an unknown source. There were also querns, hammerstones, and a few ground-stone axes made of greenstone. Other items discovered included dishes and bowls carved from soft limestone, spindle whorls made of stone and possible loom weights, spatulae and drills, stylised anthropomorphic plaster figures, almost life-size, anthropomorphic and theriomorphic clay figurines, as well as shell and malachite beads.
In the late 4th millennium BCE, Jericho was occupied during Neolithic 2 and the general character of the remains on the site link it culturally with Neolithic 2 sites in the West Syrian and Middle Euphrates groups. This link is established by the presence of rectilinear mud-brick buildings and plaster floors that are characteristic of the age.
During the Middle Bronze Age Jericho was a small prominent city of the Canaan region, reaching its greatest Bronze Age extent in the period from 1700 to 1550 BCE. It seems to have reflected the greater urbanization in the area at that time, and has been linked to the rise of the Maryannu, a class of chariot-using aristocrats linked to the rise of the Mitannite state to the north. Kathleen Kenyon reported "...the Middle Bronze Age is perhaps the most prosperous in the whole history of Kna'an. ... The defenses ... belong to a fairly advanced date in that period" and there was "a massive stone revetment... part of a complex system" of defenses (pp. 213–218).[71] Bronze-age Jericho fell in the 16th century at the end of the Middle Bronze Age, the calibrated carbon remains from its City-IV destruction layer dating to 1617–1530 BCE. Notably this carbon dating c. 1573 BCE confirmed the accuracy of the stratigraphical dating c. 1550 by Kenyon.
The Jericho Synagogue in the Royal Maccabean winter palace at Jericho dates from 70-50 BCE.
A synagogue dating to the late 6th or early 7th century CE was discovered in Jericho in 1936, and was named Shalom Al Yisrael Synagogue, or "peace unto Israel," after the central Hebrew motto in its mosaic floor. It was controlled by Israel after the Six Day War, but after the handover to Palestinian Authority control per the Oslo Accords, it has been a source of conflict. On the night of 12 October 2000, the synagogue was vandalized by Palestinians who burned holy books and relics and damaged the mosaic.[72][73]
The Na'aran synagogue, another Byzantine era construction, was discovered on the northern outskirts of Jericho in 1918. While less is known of it than Shalom Al Yisrael, it has a larger mosaic and is in similar condition.[74]
The sports team Hilal Areeha plays association football in the West Bank First Division. They play home games in the 15,000 spectator Jericho International Stadium.[75]
Jericho is twinned with:
Jericho, in the Jordan River Valley in Palestine, inhabited from ca. 9000 BCE to the present day, offers important evidence for the earliest permanent settlements in the Near East.

1900 SW 4th Ave, Portland, OR 97201
Portland and the surrounding communities are located in a seismically active region.
Earthquakes are a natural occurrence caused by the constant motion of the Earth's crust. This motion creates the buildup of pressure along faults which is released in the form of an earthquake. Earthquakes are sudden and without warning. Strong ground shaking can cause severe damage to buildings, cracking walls, toppling chimneys or even shifting buildings off their foundation. Older buildings and homes are especially at risk because they often lack adequate anchorage to their foundation and were not designed to resist the shaking and movement expected from earthquakes today. Identifying potential hazards ahead of time, strengthening homes, buildings and utilities can reduce damage and the dangers of serious injury or loss of life from an earthquake. Modified from www.oregongeology.org/sub/earthquakes/EQs.htm.
The City of Portland, Bureau of Development Services has a program to help you make your home more secure in our next earthquake. See brochure #12 - Residential Seismic Strengthening - Methods to Reduce Potential Earthquake Damage for more details.

The leading smartphone companies recently launched new models, which typically receive a great deal of attention and reviews -- both positive and negative. Businesses professionals are excited but also confused and overwhelmed because they want the best phone that satisfies their checklist of needs at work and at home. How does one make sense of the plethora of features in new smartphone models?
Consider what is happening in Syria even as we read these words. Aid agencies have become so desperate for help that they repeatedly call upon the affluent West to step up and assist the 9.3 million people living at risk, and the 3.5 million Syrians living under siege. Surely these people matter to us, right?
Yes, the Canadian story in Afghanistan is mixed, with closure hard to come by for those soldiers not only involved in security details, but development projects like protecting schools, building damns, and conducting civilian peace efforts in villages. But what shouldn't be in doubt is our government's promise and dedication to those military personnel.
Check the list below to see if your four-digit password is on this list, and if so, please change it to something more random, secure and less crackable. After all, there is a pool of 10,000 different combinations available from which to select a 4-digit pin and yet the same passwords are repeatedly selected by the general population.
As more and more of our personal information circulates online, is stored in the cloud, or is moved about on USBs and other portable devices, it's essential that we make sure those data flows are secure. While governments have been quick to respond to this increased ability to conduct surveillance, they have not been so enthusiastic about creating and enforcing protections for innocent citizens.
I remain amazed by the proliferation of personal devices in today's homes. Therefore it comes as little surprise that the impact of personal devices is hitting the enterprise. Let's face it, you can either to embrace personal devices in the workplace and proactively put security measures in place, or you can deal with the aftermath when employees will inevitably find their own work-around.
It's safe to say that the virtual pop-up store is the latest and greatest. It's no wonder that with the holidays approaching Mattel and Walmart have come together to launch the first one for commuters in Toronto. The virtual toy store will run for four weeks and will provide the ultimate ease in shopping by providing images of toys and a UPC code to scan for purchase. Then the commuter/shopper goes home and waits for the delivery.
It is a terrible idea for any modern city to host the Olympics. The price tag alone should cause the mayor of any city to run screaming. It seems to me that the best way to put the focus back where it belongs is to break up the Olympics. Allow cities to bid on specific events that they already have facilities for. Allow sponsors and media companies to bid on specific events as well. This would reduce the cost, the impact on the cities themselves and the need for the military to be involved in security. The key, I think, is to stop trying to make modern cities fit the Olympics and make the Olympics fit the modern world.
Many Americans and Canadians have struck all of Mexico off of their destination list because of an unfortunate string of violence in areas of the country nowhere close to La Paz -- home to what Jacques Cousteau called "the world's aquarium." But travel allows you to understand the rest of the world and lets you shed inaccurate notions you may have held before you arrived.

D412 Features - Compact, lightweight 2-way active speaker system
Pump it Up
Auro D412M was designed to provide clear, full-range live sound reinforcement in a variety of applications. Whether you're a karaoke diva, singer/songwriter, DJ, or full band gigging in a medium-sized performance space, Auro D412 guarantees you an immensely powerful, sonically pure and highly mobile sound. In addition, the speaker enclosure's floor monitor positioning angles lends the Auro D412 perfectly to near-field and far-field monitoring applications.
Podium Power
Take command of the boardroom podium with the Auro D412. When integrated into a PA system, the speaker provides the perfect solution for a business professional leading any sort of presentation. No matter the application (presentations, company meetings, corporate events, etc.), the unit will allow you to convey your ideas to your audience clearly.
Interactive Education
In addition to all students, teachers and professors utilizing the Auro D412 in some of the same circumstances as business professionals (presentations, audio playback), the system possesses some functions unique to music education. The unit is ideal for directing large instrumental ensembles. Auro D412 will help conductors keep even their percussionists on task. Soloists and small ensembles can practice along with recorded accompaniment broadcast over an Auro D412-based PA system. Also, the pro-quality sound produced by the Auro D412 makes the analysis and appreciation of recorded music far more interactive and educational.
Auro Loves to Move
Beyond producing impeccable sound reinforcement, Auro D412's elements of portability make it ideal for countless recreational uses. For a traveling instructor, Auro D412 is perfect for leading large exercise/yoga classes in fitness clubs. Outdoor functions pose no problem whatsoever for the Auro D412. Block parties, sporting events, and matters of crowd control now have a more practical, and still extremely portable, alternative to the megaphone. Auro D412 is also sure to excite the tailgating crowd, now able to demonstrate their team spirit at a level never before possible, or simply provide musical entertainment for a classic tailgate party.

Trex 500 Build Videos
12/30/2007 Field Report video from myself and an opinion from Fireup
Video Link -> Initial Field Reports from myself and Fireup (49 Megs) Build vids below ___________________________________________ OK here are the Trex 500 build videos. I am going to try and complete these in the next week and as fast as possible. However as you will hear in the "what's in the box" video my voice is gone. It's a little better today but last night it was SHOT so Frank Lock from Assurance did my "What's in the box" video. Thanks Frank! First up! Video Link ->What's in the box!! (17 Megs) Note on below! Align changed the longer ball to a shorter ball on the seesaw mixer arms. All 4 balls are now short balls! Video Link ->Step 1 - SeeSaw Assembly (20 Megs) Video Link ->Step 2 - Flybar Cage and Flybar Assembly (45 Megs) Video Link ->Step 3 - Swash Plate and Washout Assembly (42 Megs) Note on below! The thrust bearings are now labeled IN and OUT. BUT please double check them as some have gotten mislabeled sides Video Link ->Step 4 - Blade Grip Installation (40 Megs) Video Link ->Step 5 - Paddles and Grip Links (20 Megs) Video Link ->Step 6 - Main Frame Assembly (42 Megs) Video Link ->Step 7 - Servo Install w/ S9650 (45 Megs) Note: Someone pointed out I did not show how to trim off the "tabs" from a S9650 for use on the Trex500. This is because I had already done it as these servos were used on my Rotorworkz HFE frame build vids. So anyway if you want to see how to trim off the tabs properly watch this video http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=...rvoinstall.wmv Video Link ->Step 7a- Servo Install with HS-5245 Servos (61 Megs) The above video is using the Hitec HS-5245 servos. BIG THANKS to rchover.com and Hitec for supplying these man! But there are some problems so watch the vid. I don't do a full setup but I do give some tips so you WILL need to watch step 8 for CCPM setup OK.... Quick Diversion: I will be using a JR X9303 radio with this heli so I thought I would do a quickly overview of setting up the radio. I plan to do a full blown setup another time but this should help some people get started. Next vids will go into more menus for doing servo setup. Video Link -> Jr X9303 Quickly Setup Overview (84 Megs) OK back to the heli build..... Video Link ->Step 8 - Servo Setup (54 Megs) If you use HS-5245MG servos than watch that and also watch this please.... OK Another divergence to talk about WHY the servo link geometry is like it is... You don't need to watch this but if you are wondering why the links from the servos are not straight up and down, this will explain it. Video Link ->Why the Link Geometry is like it is (30 Megs) [/color] Back to the build again :) Video Link ->Head, Main Gear, and Servo link install (42 Megs) OK this is head setup bottom to top. BUT there was a discussion a few days ago about HOW to set 0 pitch without a pitch guage and I promised i would show how in this video. So there you have it! NOTE! The manual changed from my video. The long link is now 34mm and my manual said 31mm. Video Link ->Head Setup! (92 Megs) Video Link ->Step 11 - Tail Drive and Boom Install (33 Megs) Video Link ->Step 12 - Tail Case and Belt Adjustment (30 Megs) Video Link ->Step 13 - Tail Rotor Install (48 Megs) Video Link ->Step 14 - Tail Servo install and Tail Linkage (32 Megs) OK I am going to use the Solid-G gyro from Curtis Youngblood on this heli. So these vids are all about setting that up! If your using somthing else then see my MANY other setups for the 401, 611, SpartanRC, etc... But this section will be all about setting up the Curtis Solid-G with the Trex500 Video Link ->Curtis Youngblood Solid-G Gyro --- Intro "What's in the box" (14 Megs)[/color] Video Link ->Curtis Youngblood Solid-G Gyro - "Stick / Radio" Setup NOT using the G-view (67 Megs) Video Link ->Curtis Youngblood Solid-G Gyro - Setup "Using the G-View" Setup (43 Megs) Video Link ->Curtis Youngblood Solid-G Gyro - G-view Advanced Settings (55 Megs) Back to the heli build...... Step 15 ESC Setup! I am doing this before motor install for video reasons. Video Link ->Step 15 - ESC Setup (28 Megs) Video Link ->Step 16 - Motor Install and Pinion Setup (26 Megs) Video Link ->Step 17 - Electronics Placement (35 Megs) OK finishing the steps I skipped before for video purposes. Video Link ->Step 18 - Landing Gear (18 Megs) Video Link ->Step 19 - Boom Struts and Horizontal Fin (15 Megs) OK thats it on the build! The videos that will follow in a day or 2 will be a flight report. Video Link -> Initial Field Reports from myself and Fireup (49 Megs) I hope you all enjoyed! Bob |

Scottsboro/Jackson County: Recreation & Entertainment
Stevenson Railroad Depot Museum and Fort Harker A Union stronghold and fort during the Civil war, today the Stevenson Depot is listed on the national Register of Historic Places and houses artifacts of the lively trade, weary travelers, and bitter conflict brought to the area by the strategic location of the railroad.

Siege of Bridgeport Re-enactment The largest re-enactment in Alabama is celebrated every March.

Russell Cave National Monument Located in Bridgeport, the only national monument in Alabama sits at the end of a 12-mile hiking trail surrounded by 310 acres of pristine woodlands. Guests are invited to take a guided tour or permits are available to visit deeper parts of the cave. Admission is free. For more information, call 256-495-2672 or printable travel guide at www.nps.gov/ruca. Having more caves per square mile than any county in America, cave explorers from all over the world come to visit Jackson County's other 1,500-charted caves.
Cathedral Caverns Both Native Americans and Confederates soldiers used the cave as a refuge, and Disney used them as a movie setting for Tom and Huck.

Buck's Pocket State Park A 2,000-acre wild world that runs along the west side of Sand Mountain. Avid hikers will get their thrills climbing to the peak of Point Rock and looking down into the 800-foot Buck's Pocket Canyon. For more information, call 256-659-2000.
Pisgah Gorge The Gorge's three beautiful waterfalls are set against a background of scenic hiking trails. The Gorge is particularly striking in the spring and fall, when wildflowers, changing leaves and our famous Rhododendrons make the fabulous landscape even more dramatic.
The Walls of Jericho The newest outdoor attraction in Alabama. Over 3.5 miles of well marked hiking trails and ten miles of horse trails lead into the 12,510 acres of natural area that are officially open to outdoor enthusiasts, wildlife observers, and geo-tourists everywhere. The property includes streams such as Turkey Creek and Hurricane Creek that are headwaters of the Paint Rock River, home to 17 varieties of rare mussels. What the visitor receives is extraordinary and pristine beauty in the rock formations as well as the much-anticipated flora and fauna. Some, if not most, are now calling the Walls "The Grand Canyon of the South". Directions: Coming east from Huntsville or west from the Tennessee line, take U.S. Highway 72 and turn onto AL State Highway 79, which will take you, first through Skyline and then a few miles later through Hytop. After passing through Hytop, look on the left for two gravel parking areas, the first for horses and the next for hikers, each with a yellow gate and an information kiosk. Park there and follow directions on the map at the trailhead. For more information, call Jackson County Tourism at 256-259-5500.
North Alabama Birding Trail The nine sites of Jackson County. Alabama's northeastern corner has a wilder edge to it than much of the state. This feeling is magnified by the beginnings of the Appalachian chain rising upward as you head east. Birds known for their vulnerability to disturbance thrive in this corner of the state with Cerulean Warblers nesting in remote valleys, Ruffed Grouse drumming from wooded draws and some incredibly endangered aquatic life hanging on in the Paint Rock River Valley. The unique landscape is pock marked with some of the most important cave systems east of the Mississippi. These caves hold almost all of the Gray Bats in the world and each summer hundreds of thousands can be seen as they leave their roosts and start their evening's hunting. Although their numbers once declined dramatically careful management is bringing them back from the brink. Click here to see more information (PDF).

Three Takeaways from National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) Day
Last Thursday, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker participated in the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) Day on Capitol Hill event. She was joined by Sen. Sherrod Brown, Reps. Joe Kennedy and Tom Reed, several business leaders and the directors of the newly established pilot Institutes of Manufacturing Innovation. NNMI Day was an opportunity to showcase the successes of the four pilot institutes in North Carolina, Youngstown, Chicago, and Detroit in the areas of additive, digital, electronics, and modern metals manufacturing. In early 2014, President Obama announced a new competition for the next manufacturing innovation institute, focused on composites materials and structures, which is the first of four additional institutes the President committed to launching this year in his State of the Union address, for a total of eight pilot institutes nationwide.
During the event Thursday, Hill staffers and other attendees had the opportunity to hear from the pilot institute directors and several private sector partners about how a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation would help improve U.S. competitiveness, increase domestic production and accelerate development of an advanced manufacturing workforce.
The following are three main takeaways from the speakers and panelists:

The Cruelty Intervention Advocacy (CIA) program works in conjunction with Humane Law Enforcement to intervene in cases involving animals that are not victims of cruelty but may be at risk of becoming victims without intervention. To date, CIA has intervened in over 80 animal hoarding cases in New York City's five boroughs. CIA's Colleen Doherty told us about her work during Sandy.
When Hurricane Sandy hit NYC, I knew I had to get out to cases in impacted areas as quickly as possible to check on the condition of the animals. I responded to 11 cases in two days with a Humane Law Enforcement Agent and veterinarian, providing wellness checks to animals and critical supplies such as pet food and litter.
One case in particular in Coney Island, an area heavily impacted by Sandy, involves a family with 50 cats. Just before Sandy hit, the CIA team was coordinating a rescue operation to remove these cats and place them for adoption as soon as they were rehabilitated. Sandy interrupted this effort, and after the storm, I was not able to get in touch with the family because the cell service and power was out. I headed there right away to check on them.
Luckily they didn't sustain major flooding. They were in need of some supplies as lots of local stores were closed or flooded, so we provided them with all the essentials.
It is an unbelievable feeling to be a lifeline to so many animals in my community. Being able to have a hands-on approach, seeing the condition of animals, pet parents and homes, and to see a case to completion, is an amazing privilege that I feel very lucky to have.
Please help support our ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Yesterday we told you about our field team's work to reunite families with their pets in the Rockaways, one of many areas that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Check out this touching video of Leanne Rivera's reunion with her beloved pup Precious.
Hurricane Sandy left many victims in her wake. However, we are relieved to report that Ivy, a one-year-old service dog, who was badly injured in the aftermath the storm, is expected to survive.
On Wednesday night, Ivy's guardians were unable to go outside to walk her. Without power in their Manhattan apartment building, their elevator was also out of service. They asked their neighbor to take Ivy outside for some exercise.
Unfortunately, Ivy wandered off her leash onto a busy New York street, where she was presumably hit by multiple cars. A local resident found her early Thursday morning, and while she had suffered very severe injuries, she was still alive. Ivy was transported to the ASPCA Animal Hospital in Manhattan to undergo treatment. This brave dog is expected to make a full recovery.
We're so glad we are able to provide Ivy with the crucial care she needed, and just in time. Please help support our ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Update 11/8/12: Ivy is continuing to recover from her injuries until she can return home to her dedicated pet parents. One of Ivy's pet parents is hearing-impaired, and the other is incapacitated due to a knee injury and was unable to walk her during Hurricane Sandy. While Ivy was walking with a neighbor, she escaped from her collar and was hit by a car before being rescued by a good Samaritan and brought to the ASPCA. We are all looking forward to Ivy's speedy recovery.
Sandy hit the Rockaways hard, and the ASPCA is responding in that area in three ways: We're distributing pet supplies at several key points, providing veterinary care to residents, and rescuing animals who were left behind as the storm bore down on this seaside community.
One call our rescue team received informed us that the Rivera family in the Rockaways had been forced to leave their dog and three cats behind when they evacuated to a shelter on Tuesday.
Leann and Manny Rivera had been at home with their seven children when Sandy hit, and it was only a matter of minutes before their home was flooded with 15 or 16 feet of water.
Their landlord told them to break down the door on the empty third-floor apartment in their two-family house, so all nine people and four pets huddled in one room there until the water was low enough that they could swim out.
The Riveras didn't know they could bring pets to the shelter, and they also had no way to get them through the water. They left their pets in the house with four days' worth of food and water and trudged through their flooded street to a police station, where they were sent to a shelter. Staff there told them the ASPCA could help them get their animals back, and we did.
We found the cats hiding in various places around the house and the little dog, terrified, barking on the couch. We placed the cats in carriers and wrapped the dog in a blanket and took them to safety.
When we pulled in to the evacuation center where the Riveras were staying, Leann ran next to our truck as it pulled in. She couldn't wait to see her "other children." As we opened the van door, Leann's little dog nearly exploded with glee to see his mom again, and Leann returned the enthusiasm. The animals are now with the Riveras at the shelter, where Leann reports her children are overjoyed to see their pets again.
Field rescues of animals trapped in homes continues today in the Rockaways and elsewhere.
Please help support our ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy
The ASPCA is marking day two of water and land rescues in Ocean County, New Jersey, in one of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy. This afternoon, the ASPCA's Dr. Dick Green and Bruce Earnest rescued four cats and their pet parent, a woman in her seventies, who lived in an evacuation zone.
The woman decided to stay in her home, rather than evacuate, because she didn't want to leave her cats behind. Luckily, ASPCA responders were able to reach her, rescue the cats, and drive the woman to a friend's house on higher ground.
The ASPCA is continuing to work closely with local officials and our partners in New Jersey and New York to respond to animal rescue requests. Our priority is to help reunite as many pet parents as possible with their animals.

Fit for a Queen
Christian Louboutin has a lot of love for Marie Antoinette and for Sofia Coppola, who wrote and directed a movie about the let-them-eat-cake monarch in 2006. That affection took shoe form with a 36-pair, limited-edition collection made with renowned embroiderer Jean-François Lesage. "She was the last queen of France, and the colors are dedicated to the Sofia Coppola film about Marie Antoinette," Louboutin told Insider. "I loved her movie." The $6,295 shoes previously were available only in Europe, but will finally hit the U.S. Feb. 23 at Louboutin's South Coast Plaza boutique in California, and will drop in New York Feb. 26 at the Madison Avenue store.

2013 Seven-Star Awards Recognize Contributions To Food Safety
The third annual Seven-Star Awards, the most prestigious food industry award program in China, were presented today at a ceremony in Shanghai to honor food manufacturing, food retail and food service enterprises for their efforts to promote food safety. Thirty leading food enterprises received Seven-Star Awards through this year's program, which is organized annually by Ecolab and China Business News (CBN), with technical support from the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology (CIFST).
"The Steven-Star Award program promotes industry best practices and encourages China's food enterprises to establish strong management control systems," said Tim Wang, senior vice president and general manager, Ecolab Greater China. "As a leading provider of innovative food safety products and programs, Ecolab is proud to work collaboratively with the entire industry to build a robust food safety system in China that inspires consumer trust."
Launched in May, the 2013 Seven-Star Award evaluation process was led by a review committee consisting of experts from Ecolab, CIFST and the CBN Research Institute. The committee selected leading food safety enterprises in the categories of food service, food retail and food manufacturing.
Comprehensive surveys, interviews and assessments were used to determine the 2013 award recipients. Enterprises were evaluated on their efforts to promote a food safety-centric culture, provide appropriate employee training, manage suppliers and distributors effectively, and commitment to food safety social responsibility, among other indicators.
"Each year, we see more food enterprises intensify their food safety management control systems and work to further integrate this concept into their corporate culture," said Ms. Meng Suhe, president of CIFST. "Through the Seven-Star Award program, we are helping enterprises implement advanced food safety protocols and leading the way in the sound development of China's food industry." The award ceremony was held in conjunction with the annual conference of China's Seven-Star Convention Alliance in Food Safety. The Seven-Star Alliance, founded by Ecolab and CBN, is an organization of food industry experts and enterprises that advocates for food safety within China. Based on the practices of the China Seven-Star Convention, the alliance connects government, industry organizations, food safety experts, enterprises, media and the public to strengthen food safety awareness and improve the overall quality of food in China.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
