W75 Rietje Dijkman claims WR in high jump — close to 4 feet
Rietje Dijkman turned 75 on Saturday and high-jumped 1.20 (3-11 1/4) on Sunday, reports W60 Weia Reinboud from Holland. Boom! World record. "She did not realize it was a world record," Weia writes. "She also ran a national record of 16.43 (+1.5) in the 100. I myself improved my javelin distance to 31.10 (102-0). The weight change from 400 to 500 grams is nice. Linda Cohn already threw 37.50, but in Europe I do not know other throwers over 30 meters. So it could be a European record. Until real throwers take it from me. Results of the interclub meet where Riejje ane Weia excelled are posted here. The listed W75 world record for high jump is 1.18 (3-10 1/2) by Britain's Rosemary Chrimes in 2012.

Congratulations to Rietje who was the WMA of 2005.
It was a pleasure to have met her in Zierikzee at the European senior meet in 2009, the day this picture was taken.

NEW YORK (AVAFIN) -- A record number of IMAX Corporation call contracts were traded during the busy trading session. There
were 8.1 call contracts traded for each put contract yielding a 0.12 put/call ratio
where 4,852 put and 39,461 call contracts exchanged hands.
Put/Call ratio is often used to measure investment sentiment, the ratio serves as a predictor of
investor behavior. Unusual options volume provides reliable clues that the stock is expected to
make a move.
Large theater chains such as Cinemark and AMC have developed alternative proprietary technologies to compete with IMAX, and large chains have enhanced their leverage in negotiating future contracts with IMAX with the threat of using their own technologies.
Additionaly, IMAX is overvalued, with the stock trading at near 30 times the current year's recurring earnings, and with the current valuation implying an expansion in the number of IMAX theaters to 1,700, compared with management's estimated market size of 1,300 theaters.
IMAX Corporation (IMAX) opened today at $21.62 and is currently trading at $21.07, down $0.67 (3.08%) during
last trading session. Within the last quarter, the shares have lost -18.02% of their value.
The daily low is $21.05 and the high is $21.85. The trading volume
of 1M is above the average volume of 1M shares.

Mexico Breaks Up Alleged Sex Slave Cult
Mexican officials say they have broken up a bizarre cult that allegedly ran a sex-slavery ring among its followers on the U.S. border. Mexico's National Immigration Institute says 14 foreigners have been detained in the raid on a house near Nuevo Laredo, across the border from Laredo, Texas.
Those detained include six Spaniards, and two people each from Brazil, Bolivia and Venezuela. One person from Argentina and one from Ecuador were also detained, the institute announced Tuesday.
The institute said Tuesday that 10 Mexicans were also found at the house in filthy conditions, and are presumably among the victims of the cult.
The institute said the sect's leaders called themselves "The Defenders of Christ" and made members of the cult pay quotas, which they apparently paid with forced labor or sex.

Updated at 8:20 a.m. on January 20.
He drinks, smokes, plays golf, and rocks a killer tan. But Speaker John Boehner's tears may be his manliest quality, at least in the eyes of some Ohio voters.
According to a new Quinnipiac poll, voters in his home state view Boehner's tendency to cry in public as a sign of strength, not weakness, by 36 percent to 27 percent. However, even more respondents (37 percent) remain undecided about whether the waterworks make him a tough guy or a crybaby.
Boehner hasn't been afraid to show his emotions since being elected to public office. To name a few: He choked up on the House floor in 2007 during a speech about funding the Iraq War, he wept when the GOP took the majority (he started losing it when he said "I've spent my whole life chasing the American Dream"), and he downright blubbered his way through his first 60 Minutes interview on his way to becoming speaker.
And the Quinnipiac poll shows that women love it. By 44 percent to 20 percent, women find the tears to be a sign of strength (only 27 percent of men see it as a sign of strength, compared to 34 percent who see it as weakness).
The 9-point margin of approval for Boehner's crying resembles his overall popularity in the state. Ohioans have a favorable view of the speaker by 27 percent to 18 percent.
The poll surveyed 1,299 registered voters (both via landline and cell phone) January 12-17, and has a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points.
According to the same poll, Ohioans are split (48 percent to 44 percent) about whether they believe President Obama should be reelected. Obama has a similar edge when it comes to his approval rating, where 49 percent of respondents approve of the job he is doing versus 44 percent who do not. This is a reversal of the 45-49 percent approval rating he had in Ohio in June of last year. The rising numbers match a trend for the president found in several national polls.
But if he really wants to up his numbers in this important swing state, perhaps Obama could afford to shed a few more tears.

My Christmas Gift to You: Poems by Dogs from 'Throw the Damn Ball'
Wednesday, December 25th, 2013
Merry, merry and happy, happy. I hope you're somewhere enjoying a new present or two. I am.
Because I love my readers, I want to give you a little Christmas gift. Here are a few poems from a book the kids and I love called Throw the Damn Ball: Classic Poetry by Dogs.
Home Sweet Homey
I'm a round mound of bad hound
Sprung from the bowels of the city pound,
A damp, dirty dog underground–
A pit full of bull and yappin' mutts,
The whinin' Lab and the poodle who struts,
Bichon who bays and the King Charles who tuts.
Let me tell you, I survived by growl and guile
Until you gave me a reason to smile
By furnishing me with a domicile.
–Fifty Scent, Washington Heights, New York
Just One More Treat
Just one more treat
I won't ask again
Just one more treat
And I'll go to my den
Just one more treat
It's just a suggestion
Just one more treat
It's good for digestion
Just one more treat
Perhaps a small bone
Just one more treat
And I'll leave you alone
–Luna, Hellertown, Pennsylvania
Merry, merry Christmas!

Clean bill for Province
Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:11
While there were a few players on the sidelines on Monday, there are no new injury concerns for Western Province ahead of the Currie Cup final this weekend.
Lock Eben Etzebeth has a slight cold and missed training along with captain Deon Fourie, centre Marcel Brache and outside back Gio Aplon who all have slight niggles, but none of them are considered doubtful for the clash with the Sharks at Kings Park on Saturday.
Whilst the entire match-day 22 which did duty in the dramatic semifinal victory over the Golden Lions should be available for the final, there will not be any injured players returning to bolster the squad either.
This means that Springbok captain Jean de Villiers will not be available for selection, although he is expected to recover from his hamstring injury in time to lead the Boks on the year-end tour of Europe.
Coach Allister Coetzee said that the focus this week will be to keep the players as grounded and focused as possible as they prepare to secure their first Currie Cup title since 2001.
"We're keeping the week as normal as possible and we're all looking forward to the weekend.
"There has to be a favourite and an underdog (in every game) and we're up against the team that ended top of the log and is playing at home. But we know what we're capable of and that's all that matters to us," he said.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is set to make an improved offer for Swansea left-back Ben Davies after an initial bid of £8 million was turned down by the Welsh side.
The Times reports that Rodgers is keen on making the 21-year-old his fifth summer recruit after Liverpool wrapped up the signing of winger Lazar Markovic from Benfica for £20m on Tuesday.
Tottenham have reportedly dropped their interest in Davies after making a similar bid - but the offers from them and Liverpool have been rejected as Swansea value Davies at around £12m.
Liverpool's desire to land Davies increased after Sevilla turned down an offer of £16m for their left-back Alberto Moreno in May.
Sources have told ESPN that the two clubs cannot agree a fee but that 22-year-old Moreno remains a target and Liverpool may yet revive their pursuit of the £20m-rated Spaniard.
However, with a successful transfer from from certain, they have taken a serious interest in alternatives.
Davies is seen as a potential solution. He broke into the Swansea first team in 2012 and has made 84 appearances after graduating from the youth system. He also signed a contract extension with the club last December which could keep him at the Liberty Stadium until 2017.

The Mocs are 5-4 overall, 4-2 in SoCon action, and working towards their first SoCon title since 1984. They are one of four teams in the league with two losses, including the Terries who are 5-2 in SoCon action and 7-2 overall. UTC needs two more wins to grab a share of the SoCon title, while Wofford can do the same with a win on Saturday.
This game has been a pivotal one in each of the last two meetings. Last season, UTC led 27-14 in the fourth quarter and looked like it had wrapped up its third straight winning season. However, Wofford scored twice late in the game, including the go-ahead touchdown with 37 seconds left, to give the Mocs their third 28-27 loss on the year.
In the 2010 season finale, UTC visited Gibbs Stadium needing a win to get into the FCS Playoffs for the first time since that championship season in 1984. UTC fell behind early and could not hang with the Terriers in a 45-14 loss.
Georgia Southern is done with its league slate and has wrapped up at least a share of the SoCon trophy. The Eagles and 6-2 in league games and 7-2 overall. Their last two contests are out of conference against Howard (Nov. 10) and at Georgia (Nov. 17).
The Mocs cannot win the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Playoffs because the best they can do is tie Georgia Southern. The Eagles own the tiebreaker over UTC because of their 39-31 OT win against the Mocs on Oct. 27.
Appalachian State hosts Furman on Saturday in its season finale. The Mountaineers are 7-3 overall and 6-2 in the SoCon. If ASU is in a three-way tie with Georgia Southern and UTC, it gets the at-large bid because of wins over both the Mocs and the Eagles.
Fans can catch the game on the radio on the Mocs Sports Network. The flagship station is ESPN Radio 105.1 FM in Chattanooga. Jim Reynolds is in his 33rd year as the play-by-play man for the Mocs. Todd Agne has the color commentary with Will Poindexter as the sideline reporter.
The game is also broadcast on ESPN3.com as a part of the SoCon broadcast package. Darren Goldwater has the play-by-play while Doug Chapman handles the analysis. A link for the broadcast is available on the schedule page on GoMocs.com.
The Chattanooga Mocs are in their 105th season of football in 2012. The University of Chattanooga was founded in 1886 and football began play in 1904. No teams were fielded in 1917 and 1918 due to World War I. There was also a two-year hiatus from football action during World War II in 1943 and 1944. The Mocs have an all-time record of 493-502-35 (.496) and have won 10 conference titles.
Russ Huesman is 22-20 in his fourth year at Chattanooga after being hired as the 22nd head coach at UTC on Dec. 22, 2008. A 1983 graduate of UTC and a former defensive back, Huesman guided Chattanooga to a 6-5 mark in 2009, equaling the number of wins UTC had seen in the previous three years combined. The Mocs are 1-2 against Wofford under Huesman.
Prior to his return to Chattanooga, Huesman spent the 25 seasons building a reputation as one of the top defensive-minded assistant coaches in the country. He spent five seasons as the defensive coordinator at the University of Richmond before joining UTC and also coached at Memphis (1998-2003) and William & Mary (14 yrs), serving as the Defensive Coordinator for the 1996-97 seasons. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Huesman played prep football at perennial power Moeller High School, where he lettered for four years under head coach Gerry Faust.
Wofford head coach Mike Ayers (Georgetown, Ky. '74), the winningest coach in school history, is in his 25th season at the Terrier helm with a record of 169-113-1. Ayers has spent 28 years as a collegiate head coach and has a record of 180-133-2 that includes a three-year stint as the head coach at East Tennessee State from 1985-87. Ayers earned Southern Conference Coach of the Year honors from the league coaches in 2000, 2003 and 2007 and by the media in 2000, '02, '03 and '10. Ayers was the 2003 recipient of the Eddie Robinson Award as Division I-AA's National Coach of the Year and also earned the 2002 Division I-AA National Coach of the Year award from the College Sporting News in addition to being the runner-up for the Robinson Award.

- Senior FB Eric Breitenstein is third in the nation in rushing yards per game (155.1) and is the 2011 SoCon Offensive Player of the Year, 2012 Preseason Player of the Year and on the Walter Payton Award Watch List. He needs 38 yards to break the school record for career rushing yards.

That means that underclassmen account for roughly 89% of the Mocs offense. Of the Mocs 31 touchdowns, 29 have been by freshmen and sophomores. With 17 total starters returning, the Mocs have a lot of experience back. However, UTC is still a young team in 2012. There are only seven seniors on the roster. Of the 62 Mocs that participated in a game last season, 22 were freshmen and another 17 were sophomores. There are 13 sophomores and freshmen who are listed as starters on the two-deep, including nine on offense, three on defense and two specialists.
On first reference, it is acceptable to refer to us as the "University of Tennessee at Chattanooga". After that, we prefer to be called "Chattanooga" or "UTC." Our nickname is "Mocs."
An updated roster can be found on pages 10-11 of the .pdf of the game notes. There is a roster breakdown on page 12 and a list of the starters and letter winners returning and lost on page 13. An updated depth chart is on pages 14-15.

Now less than one week away from National Signing Day, former Maryland offensive coordinator and current Penn State head coach James Franklin was on the Baltimore airwaves Friday morning, appearing on 105.7 The Fan in a region that the Nittany Lions are looking to control on the recruiting trail.
Inevitably, he was asked about his ties back to the Maryland program and how the situation deteriorated from a plan where he was the assumed coach-in-waiting to his eventual decision to take the head coaching job at Vanderbilt.
"I'm not going there," Franklin said with a laugh. "I'm not even going to go there, but what I will say is I am unbelievably appreciative and grateful of my time at Maryland.
"I had a great experience, some of the high school coaches and people in that state are still some of my closest friends. I had a great time there, learned a lot about football."
His ties to the region remain strong, which is why Penn State should be a big-time player in the area on the recruiting front, and Franklin elaborated on that point.
"I had an unbelievable experience and will always consider that, you know, part of my home," he said. "I got family there. My aunts work at Howard. I got buddies. I got my cousins is a high school coach in Washington, D.C., so that's a second home to me."
It's a second home that Franklin is already making in-roads in for this 2014 recruiting class, jumping in on the recruitment of five-star offensive lineman Damian Prince of Bishop McNamara (Md.).
Prince, a 6-4, 292-pound prospect who is ranked in the Top 20 nationally, is also considering Maryland, Florida, Auburn, and LSU.
[RELATED: Five-star local prospect talks Maryland's future]
"We're going to try to dominate the whole region, obviously starting out in our own state, but if you look Penn State historically has been able to do a great job in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, New England, you know, Delaware, Maryland, D.C., Virginia," Franklin said.
"Those states should be really, really good to Penn State and I hired a staff with strong connections in all those areas. We will be there. We will be extremely active and I think Penn State is an unbelievable option."
Maryland's move to the Big Ten in July means that not only are the two programs head-to-head in recruiting, but they will play one another, as well. On Nov. 1, the Terrapins travel to Happy Valley to take on the Nittany Lions.
Franklin was complimentary of head coach Randy Edsall's program, which made its first bowl appearance this past season after finishing with a losing record in each of his first two years at the helm.
"Maryland's got a great program. Randy's doing a great job there," Franklin said, before shifting the focus back to his program. "I think we've got a great situation. My job now is to work as hard as I possibly can in every aspect to give Penn State the best chance to be as successful as they possibly can."
National Signing Day is Feb. 5.

The Golden Age of Flowers: Botanical Illustration in the Age of Discovery 1600 - 1800
written by Ceila Fisher
British Library Publishing Division | ISBN 9780712358958
Paperback – 144 pages
Member's price: $26.96
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw a flowering of botanical illustration and witnessed the production of some of the greatest books of plant illustration ever produced, including such outstanding examples as the Hortus Eystettensis, the work of Maria Sybilla Merian, Thornton's Temple of Flora, Banks's Florilegium and Sibthorpe's Flora Graeca. In this beautiful book, Celia Fisher has selected over 100 of the most stunning flower images from this period, and each plant has its own brief biography, giving the context in which it was discovered and the personalities who first named and nurtured it. Many of the flowers in the book are now familiar, while others remain very exotic. Some of the illustrations are appealing for their naive delicacy but most have never been superseded in scientific accuracy, and they remain one of the best proofs of art and science as complementary disciplines.

Lumbricus terrestris is indigenous to the holarctic zones - the world's northern continents. It was introduced into temperate regions of South America, Australia, New Zealand and several temperate oceanic and southern islands by European settlers and traders.
It is widespread and common in Britain, often in undisturbed habitats - particularly grasslands and pastures. It is also commonly found in lawns, parks and gardens, but less common in woodlands and arable soils.
Lumbricus terrestris is an anecic species as it creates permanent vertical burrows in the soil.
An L. terrrestris burrow can be 1–3m deep and the earthworm inhabits it for its entire life cycle.

"Many recipients told us this was the most beautiful card they received this season. We selected a green background, which complemented our many outdoor images, as well as the Christmas design. Paper quality was heavy and not too glossy, and image resolution was crisp. The layout shown on screen exactly matched the final product. Pearlescent envelopes made the right first impression. Order was delivered one day before promised. Excellent experience ordering from tinyprints."
"Too late for Christmas cards this, year, so we went with a "happy new year" theme and this was a great choice. Cheered it up a bit by changing the main greeting from blue to yellow. Photo reproduction on the printed version faithfully matched the online version. Nice work, Tiny Prints!"
"These cards turned out GREAT! Love the design...we used it for a Christmas/pregnancy announcement by putting an ultrasound picture in the small box. PERFECT design for that!"
"The only problem I had was that some of the letters get washed out, on the back the Blessings the "g" is cut off. But you don't really notice it because the card layout is beautiful and the right pictures can really create a wonderful story and theme. We used our card to announce our second pregnancy and when people opened the card they were surprised for sure!"
"After an extensive search, the format for the tri-fold Graceful Snowfall came closest to what I needed. It offered 3 large, 1 med and 2 small photo slots plus 1 page for a full message which I could have done without. Overall quality is terrific, esp heavy paper stock - WOW! However, I am used to making "custom" Shutterfly books where I have total control over configuration and size of the photo slots - tall and thin, short and fat, full page, etc, where I can add text whenever I want. My plea to Tiny Prints or Shutterfly in general is to offer this possibility to (the few of?) us who would like this choice. Otherwise, thanks for what you do have, and especially for your speedy service!"

Hate Website Stormfront Sees Rapid Growth of Neo-Nazi Community
Stormfront grows a thriving neo-Nazi community
By T.K. Kim
On most days, the man once labeled a "near genius" in a Time magazine article spends the bulk of his time in an office of the Mandeville, La., home of infamous white supremacist David Duke.
There, Jamie Kelso whips across Duke's hardwood floors on a wheeled office chair as he attends to his work: monitoring the burgeoning community of the racist Stormfront Web site on one of six different computers.
To the thousands of white supremacists who regularly visit Stormfront and its forum, Kelso is best known by his e-moniker, "Charles A Lindbergh." He signs off all his posts with a quote from Lindbergh, a well-known racist and anti-Semite: "We can have peace and security only as long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood."
"I admire the aviator so much, " Kelso says.
The aviator, were he still alive, might well admire Kelso. As Stormfront celebrates its 10th birthday — the first major hate site on the Internet, it was created by former Alabama Klan leader Don Black in 1995 — Kelso has much to be proud of. In the three years he's been a senior moderator of the site, it has grown from fewer than 10,000 registered users to, as of mid-June, an astounding 52,566. And while many thousands of that ever-growing total probably haven't visited in years, independent Web monitors recently ranked Stormfront the 338th largest electronic forum on the Internet, putting it easily into the top 1% of all sites on the World Wide Web.
Black and Kelso have created something more than just another hate site that draws people for a few months, then fades for lack of interest. Using everything from good manners to "white scholarships" to such catchy gimmicks as highlighting its members' birthdays, these two men have built something that very few people on the entire Internet have — a genuine and very large cyber-community. That they did it at a time when major neo-Nazi groups are on the decline is merely icing.
"Without a doubt," Bob DeMarais, a former staff member of the neo-Nazi National Alliance (see related story), wrote recently, "Stormfront is the most powerful active influence in the White Nationalist movement."
Want to find the latest headlines on black-on-white crime? Go to Stormfront. New developments in the National Alliance's leadership woes? Go to Stormfront. Details of yet another nefarious Jewish conspiracy? Go to Stormfront.
Stormfront's recent growth spurt is only the beginning, Kelso says. He and Black share a larger goal, one that their friend Duke also tried with a fair measure of success — establishing real legitimacy in the realm of public opinion.
Fade to Black
It began with Don Black.
Going back to high school, Black had always been one of the more enthusiastic proponents of white power. One of his first forays into the organized movement was in the 1970s, when he volunteered for the late white supremacist J.B. Stoner's unsuccessful run for governor of Georgia.
That was until Stoner's campaign manager, Jerry Ray, the brother of Martin Luther King Jr. assassin James Earl Ray, shot him in the chest. The shooting apparently stemmed from accusations that Black had broken into Stoner's office to steal a mailing list for the National Socialist White People's Party.
After recovering, Black went on to join the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the group headed by Duke in the 1970s. Working on Duke's unsuccessful campaign for Louisiana state senate, Black won Duke's trust, moving up to become his mentor's right-hand man. When Duke left the group amid allegations that he'd tried to sell its membership list to another Klan group for $35,000, Black took over.
But Black quickly got into trouble himself. In 1981, he and nine other white supremacists were arrested as they prepared to board a yacht with which they intended to invade the tiny Caribbean island of Dominica, oust its black-run government, and transform it into a "white state."
Black's resulting three-year prison sentence was time well spent. He took classes in computer programming that would provide the basis for his future.
Not long after his release, Black launched an abysmally unsuccessful campaign for a U.S. Senate seat from Alabama. He wound up marrying Duke's ex-wife, Chloe, and moving to West Palm Beach, Fla. Once there, he began dabbling with his computer, eventually setting up a dial-up bulletin board service for the radical right. By March 1995, that service evolved into Stormfront, the Net's best-known hate site.
Black saw clearly that with this new technology, white supremacists might finally bypass the mainstream media and political apparatus, getting their message out to people who otherwise would never hear it — people who now could listen in the privacy of their own homes without fear of embarrassment or reproach. "The potential of the Net for organizations and movements such as ours is enormous," Black told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1996. "We're reaching tens of thousands of people who never before had access to our point of view."
Being the first of its kind helped Stormfront win enormous publicity. Black and his site were written up in newspapers around the country and the world, and he frequently appeared on major network news shows like abc's "Nightline," where, clad in suit and tie, he talked politely about allowing people access to information not filtered by the "media monopoly." Though he undoubtedly turned off many viewers, each major TV appearance led to a spike in visitors to Stormfront.

(Adds details, KNB report)
ALMATY, Dec 25 (Reuters) - A military transport plane crashed in southern Kazakhstan on Tuesday, killing 22 people on board, the Interfax news agency quoted a Kazakh security source as saying.
Kazakh TV channel KTK said the plane had disappeared from radar screens at about 1900 local time (1300 GMT) as it was making a descent near the city of Shymkent, the capital of the South Kazakhstan Region.
Kazakhstan's KNB security service said the plane, bound for Shymkent from the capital Astana, belonged to its border troops. The commander of the country's border guards, Turganbek Stambekov, was among 27 people on board, it said on its site (www.knb.kz).
The KNB did not say how many people had been killed in the crash.
KTK TV quoted its sources as saying the Antonov An-72 plane had plunged to the ground from about 800 metres in bad weather.
It broadcast footage of an eyewitness saying he had heard a loud explosion and seen flames at the crash site. (Reporting by Dmitry Solovyov; Editing by Andrew Osborn)

99% will vote for Obama and we'll sweep Congress. We can finally become just like the evolved European social democracies!
Because you don't pay teachers the $100,000 minimum and treat it as a profession just like doctors and lawyers!
Amazing how much the union has to give in because the taxpayers think they can deny what we need!
FedEx ground is terrible to the driver.
UPS where the unions have the voice of the worker in management's ear is a much better organization.
Remove the cap on Social Security taxes and Medicare payroll taxes. Better yet double the Medicare tax if not triple it and give Medicare to all.

The unions built the middle class, ever since Raygun didn't want to pay those air traffic controllers a decent wage and fired them it has been downhill for the middle class.

Great job UAW!
C'mon, they deserve the pay. Stop your whining, it was the government that educated you and protects you.
Teachers need to be doubled in salary, you bet it is for the unions.
Every last one of them!
Here is an idea:
Tax the Rich
Double the income tax rates for the rich
Remove the social security tax limit

Ban private insurance and give Medicare for all!

Wacom tablets are a popular alternative to the mouse for painting, drawing, and navigating your computer in a more natural position. In this course, artist and teacher John Derry shows how to get up and running with a variety of Wacom tablets (Intuos, Cintiq, and more), covering everything from setup to stylus selection. He then shows how to speed up your workflow and enhance your command of the drawing surface with ExpressKeys, the Touch Ring, and other controls. Plus, learn about tablet ergonomics—which makes your Wacom even more compatible with your working conditions—and follow a few exercises to warm up your drawing arm.
(music playing) Wa is Japanese for harmony, and com is short for communication. So, Wacom stands for harmonious communication. A little mnemonic to remember this is, especially if you're a dog owner, what do you do with your dog everyday? You Wacom. Hi! I'm John Derry and welcome to Wacom Essential Training.
In the world of digital art and design, Wacom pressure-sensitive pen tablets and displays are considered to be the gold standard. For more than 25 years, Wacom has provided the creative community with technology that faithfully captures the artist's expressive gestures and transform them into a visual form that can be shared with others. With the ability to sense all of an artist's wrist, hand, and arm motions, Wacom pens become the means through which an artist, from beginner to professional, can express one's inner feelings and emotions.
In this course, the models we're using are the Intuos5 and The Cintiq 24HD Touch. But many of the techniques that we show on these can be transferred to the other Wacom tablets. I'll be using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, SketchBook Pro, and Corel Painter to demonstrate how these tablets work. We'll discuss which tablet is best for your creations, show you how to set up your tablet and pen for optimal use, as well as instruct you through some eye-hand coordination exercises to help you improve your skill level.
Now, let's get started with Wacom Essential Training.

It measured 6.8 on the moment magnitude scale (USGS),[2] and 7 on the JMA Shindo intensity scale.[3] The tremors lasted for approximately 20 seconds. The focus of the earthquake was located 16 km beneath its epicenter,[3] on the northern end of Awaji Island, 20 km away from the city of Kobe.
Approximately 6,434 people lost their lives (final estimate as of December 22, 2005); about 4,600 of them were from Kobe.[1] Among major cities, Kobe, with its population of 1.5 million, was the closest to the epicenter and hit by the strongest tremors. This was Japan's worst earthquake in the 20th century after the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923, which claimed more than 105,000 lives. The 1995 earthquake caused approximately ten trillion yen ($100 billion) in damage, 2.5% of Japan's GDP at the time.
Most of the largest earthquakes in Japan are caused by subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate or Pacific Plate, with mechanisms that involve either energy released within the subducting plate or the accumulation and sudden release of stress in the overlying plate. Earthquakes of these types are especially frequent in the coastal regions of northeastern Japan.[4]
The Great Hanshin earthquake belonged to a third type, called an "inland shallow earthquake".[5] Earthquakes of this type occur along active faults. Even at lower magnitudes, they can be very destructive because they often occur near populated areas and because their hypocenters are located less than 20 km below the surface. The Great Hanshin earthquake began north of the island of Awaji, which lies just south of Kobe. It spread toward the southwest along the Nojima Fault on Awaji and toward the northeast along the Suma and Suwayama faults, which run through the center of Kobe.[6] Observations of deformations in these faults suggest that the area was subjected to east-west compression, which is consistent with previously known crustal movements.[7] Like other earthquakes recorded in western Japan between 1891 and 1948, the 1995 earthquake had a strike-slip mechanism that accommodated east-west shortening of the Eurasian Plate due to its collision with the Philippine Sea Plate in central Honshu.[8]
It was the first time that earth tremors in Japan were officially measured at seismic intensity (shindo in Japanese) of the highest Level 7 on the scale of Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
- Note: After this earthquake, seismic intensity observation in Japan was fully mechanized (from April 1996) and JMA seismic intensity Levels 5 and 6 were each divided into 2 levels (from October 1996).
An on-the spot investigation by JMA concluded that tremors by this earthquake were at seismic intensity of
- Level 7 in particular areas in northern Awaji Island (now Awaji City) and in the cities of Kobe, Ashiya, Nishinomiya and Takarazuka.[9]
Tremors were valued at seismic intensity of Levels 6 to 4 at observation points in Kansai, Chūgoku, Shikoku and Chūbu regions.[9]
- Level 6 in the cities of Sumoto (in Awaji Island) and Kobe (both in Hyōgo Prefecture).
- Level 5 in the cities of Toyooka (in Hyōgo Prefecture), Hikone (in Shiga Prefecture) and Kyoto.
- Level 4 in the prefectures of Hyōgo, Shiga, Kyoto, Fukui, Gifu, Mie, Osaka, Nara, Wakayama, Tottori, Okayama, Hiroshima, Tokushima, Kagawa and Kōchi.
Foreshocks and aftershocks[edit]
The Mj 7.3 earthquake struck at 05:46 JST on the morning of January 17, 1995. It lasted for 20 seconds. During this time the south side of the Nojima Fault moved 1.5m to the right and 1.2 meters downwards.
There were four foreshocks, beginning with the largest (Mj 3.7) at 18:28 on the previous day.
Within five weeks, about 50 aftershocks (Mj 4.0 or greater) were observed.[10][irrelevant citation]
- By May 23, 1995: 1983 aftershocks in total, 249 felt.[11]
- By Oct. 31, 1995: 2309 aftershocks in total, 302 felt.[12]
- By Oct. 31, 1996: 2522 aftershocks in total, 408 felt.[13]
The effects can be divided into primary and secondary effects. Primary effects included the ruin of 150,000 buildings,[14] the collapse of 1 km of the Hanshin Expressway, the destruction of 120 of the 150 quays in the port of Kobe, and fires which raged over large portions of the city.[15] Secondary effects included disruption of the electricity supply. Residents were afraid to return home because of aftershocks that lasted several days (74 of which were strong enough to be felt).
The majority of deaths, over 4,000, occurred in cities and the suburbs in Hyōgo Prefecture. A total of 68 children under the age of 18 were orphaned, while 332 additional children lost one parent.[16]
One in five of the buildings in the worst-hit area were completely destroyed (or rendered uninhabitable). About 22% of the offices in the central business district were rendered unusable, and over half of the houses in that area were deemed unfit to live in. High rise buildings that were built after the modern 1981 building code suffered little; however, those that were not constructed to these standards suffered serious structural damage. Most of the older traditional houses had heavy tiled roofs which weighed around 2 tons, intended to resist the frequent typhoons that plagued Kobe, but they were only held up by a light wood support frame. When the wood supports gave way, the roof crushed the unreinforced walls and floors in a "pancake" collapse. Newer homes have reinforced walls and lighter roofs to avoid this, but are more susceptible to typhoons.
The damage to highways and subways was the most graphic image of the earthquake, and images of the collapsed elevated Hanshin Expressway made front pages of newspapers worldwide. Most people in Japan believed those structures to be relatively safe from earthquake damage because of the steel-reinforced concrete design. Though the initial belief was construction had been negligent, it was later shown that most of the collapsed structures were constructed properly according to the building codes in force in the 1960s. However, the steel-reinforcement specifications in the 1960s regulations had already been discovered to be inadequate and revised several times, the latest revision being in 1981, which proved effective but only applied to new structures.
Ten spans of the Hanshin Expressway Route 43 in three locations in Kobe and Nishinomiya were knocked over, blocking a link that carried forty percent of Osaka-Kobe road traffic. Half of the elevated expressway's piers were damaged in some way, and the entire route was not reopened until September 30, 1996. Three bridges on the less heavily used Route 2 were damaged, but the highway was reopened well ahead of Route 43 and served as one of the main intercity road links for a time. The Meishin Expressway was only lightly damaged, but was closed during the day until February 17, 1995 so that emergency vehicles could easily access the hardest-hit areas to the west. It wasn't until July 29 that all four lanes were open to traffic along one section (Kitamura, Yamamoto & Fujii 1998:240). Many surface highways were clogged for some time due to the collapse of higher-capacity elevated highways.
Most railways in the region were also damaged. In the aftermath of the earthquake, only 30% of the Osaka-Kobe railway tracks were operational. Daikai Station on the Kobe Rapid Railway line collapsed, bringing down part of National Route 30 above it. Wooden supports collapsed inside supposedly solid concrete pilings under the tracks of the Shinkansen high-speed rail line, causing the entire line to shut down. However, the railways rebounded quickly after the quake, reaching 80% operability in one month.
Artificial islands, such as the modern Rokkō Island and Port Island, in Kobe suffered some subsidence due to liquefaction of the soil; the water breaking to the surface did not come from the sea. However, the newly completed artificial island supporting Kansai International Airport was not significantly affected, due to being further away from the epicenter and because it was built to the latest standards. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, under construction near the earthquake's epicenter, was not damaged but was reportedly lengthened by a full meter due to horizontal displacement along the activated tectonic fault.
Outside Japan, the earthquake is commonly known as the Kobe earthquake. In Japan, the disaster by this earthquake is officially called The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disaster (阪神・淡路大震災 Hanshin-Awaji Daishinsai?), which is often shortened to The Great Hanshin Earthquake Disaster (阪神大震災 Hanshin Daishinsai?). Hanshin means the region between Osaka and Kobe. In the scientific literature it is often called The 1995 Southern Hyōgo Prefecture Earthquake (平成7年(1995年)兵庫県南部地震 Heisei 7 nen (1995 nen) Hyōgo-ken Nanbu Jishin?), the name chosen by the Japan Meteorological Agency in the week after the main shock.
Other aspects[edit]
The earthquake caused approximately ten trillion yen or $102.5 billion in damage, 2.5% of Japan's GDP at the time. Most of the losses were uninsured, as only 3% of property in the Kobe area was covered by earthquake insurance, compared to 16% in Tokyo.
The quake ravaged many of the facilities of what was then the world's sixth-largest container port and the source of nearly 40% of Kobe's industrial output.[17]
The sheer size of the earthquake caused a major decline in Japanese stock markets, with the Nikkei 225 index plunging by 1,025 points on the day following the quake. This financial damage was the immediate cause for the collapse of Barings Bank due to the actions of Nick Leeson, who had speculated vast amounts of money on Japanese and Singaporean derivatives. Discussions of Japan's "Lost Decade" tend towards purely economic analysis and neglect the impact of the earthquake on the Japanese economy which at the time was already suffering from recession.
Despite this devastation in a big production center, the local economy recovered very quickly.[17] Even though less than half the port facilities had been rebuilt by that stage, within a year import volumes through the port had recovered fully and export volumes were nearly back to where they would have been without the disaster.[17] Less than 15 months after the earthquake, in March 1996, manufacturing activity in greater Kobe was at 98% of its projected pre-quake level.[17]
The fact that volunteers from all over Japan converged on Kobe to help victims of the quake was an important event in the history of volunteerism in Japan. The year 1995 is often regarded as a turning point in the emergence of volunteerism as a major form of civic engagement.
In December 1995, the government declared January 17 a national "Disaster Prevention and Volunteerism Day", and the week from January 15 to 21 a national "Disaster Prevention and Volunteerism Week", to be commemorated with lectures, seminars, and other events designed to encourage voluntary disaster preparedness and relief efforts.[18]
Disaster prevention planning[edit]
The earthquake proved to be a major wake-up call for Japanese disaster prevention authorities. Japan installed rubber blocks under bridges to absorb the shock and rebuilt buildings further apart to prevent collateral damage. The national government changed its disaster response policies in the wake of the earthquake, and its response to the 2004 Chūetsu earthquake was significantly faster and more effective. The Ground Self-Defense Forces were given automatic authority to respond to earthquakes over a certain magnitude, which allowed them to deploy to the Niigata region within minutes. Control over fire response was likewise handed over from local fire departments to a central command base in Tokyo and Kyoto.[19]
In response to the widespread damage to transportation infrastructure, and the resulting effect on emergency response times in the disaster area, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport began designating special disaster prevention routes and reinforcing the roads and surrounding buildings so as to keep them as intact as possible in the event of another earthquake.[20] Hyōgo's prefectural government invested millions of yen in the years following the quake to build earthquake-proof shelters and supplies in public parks.[21]
Elsewhere in Japan, the Tokyo metropolitan government set up an emergency food and water supply network based around petrol stations, which were mostly unaffected in the Hanshin earthquake. However, citizens' groups have taken up the bulk of disaster planning, partly out of distrust for the government still held after the disaster in Kobe.[citation needed]
The Kobe Luminarie is an event held for approximately two weeks every December. A street leading from the Daimaru store in Motomachi to Higashi Yuenchi Park (next to Kobe city hall) is decorated with arches of multicoloured lights that were donated by the Italian government. Amongst the commemorative events held on the anniversary of the earthquake, large "1.17" digits are illuminated in Higashi Yuenchi Park in the early hours of January 17 each year.
In the aftermath, both citizens and specialists lost faith in the technology of their early warning systems and earthquake construction techniques. The national government of Japan led by Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama was criticized for not acting quickly enough to save many people, for poorly managing Japanese volunteers, and for initially refusing help from foreign nations, including the United States, South Korea, Mongolia, and the United Kingdom. The language barriers and the obvious lack of Japanese medical licensing by foreign volunteers were cited as justification. In response to the widespread devastation, the Japanese government increased its spending on earthquake-resistant building structures.[citation needed]
Local hospitals struggled to keep up with demand for medical treatment, largely due to collapsed or obstructed "lifelines" (roads) that kept supplies and personnel from reaching the affected areas. People were forced to wait in corridors due to the overcrowding and lack of space. Some people had to be operated on in waiting rooms and corridors.
Approximately 1.2 million volunteers were involved in relief efforts during the first three months following the earthquake. Retailers such as Daiei and 7-Eleven used their existing supply networks to provide necessities in affected areas, while NTT and Motorola provided free telephone service for victims. Even the Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza syndicate was involved in distributing food and supplies to needy victims.[22]
To help speed the recovery effort, the government closed most of the Hanshin Expressway network to private vehicles from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm daily and limited traffic to buses, taxis and other designated vehicles (Kitamura, Yamamoto & Fujii 1998:260). To keep the light rail system running even though it had quite severely damaged sections, shuttle buses were commissioned to transfer patrons to stations around damaged sections (Kitamura, Yamamoto & Fujii 1998:256).

Message from the Dean
When higher education began in this country, only male students from the elite strata of society went to college. They took a prescribed and uniform set of courses and were destined for occupations after graduation that were, in the main, predictable. Fortunately, things have changed, but with change has come complexity. UVM students come from a diversity of backgrounds and many are the first in their families to go to college. Students from whatever background find the transition from high school challenging. All of our students must navigate the multitude of opportunities available at a university such as UVM as they begin to discover academic interests suited to their talents and abilities. What should their major(s) be? Should they pursue internship or research experience? What about the thesis? Of course, students are not expected to make these decisions all alone, and thus academic advising has evolved as a crucial part of the experience of higher education.
Students find much of their academic advising in the schools and colleges that grant their degrees, and specifically in the departments in which they declare a major. However, all students, and Honors College students especially, since they straddle two colleges and carry with them at least those two identities, have to get used to the idea of receiving academic and career advice from a variety of sources.
The approach to advising in the Honors College is multifaceted. It begins with our residential community at University Heights North. The links formed among a group of students who share Honors coursework are reinforced by other curricular and co-curricular programming. We plan many of these events during the critical first six weeks of the fall semester, that make-or-break time that research has shown to be crucial to the transition process for first-year students. The University Heights residence hall facilitates support for our students in many ways. The 400 students who live in UHN can find in it our offices, classrooms, and public meeting areas. They are able to interact here with ten resident advisors (R.A.s), a first-year mentor, a writing tutor, three resident faculty members, the residence hall and Honors College staff, and three faculty members. The resident faculty members also serve as special advisors to students of color and those who are in the first generation of their families to attend college. In the UHN living room, I meet with groups of a dozen students each week for pizza. First-year students are paired with an upper class Honors College student as part of our peer-mentoring program. Students also form study groups, meet with graduate school counselors, attend study skills sessions, and the like. We get a sense of how students are doing through weekly meetings with the first-year faculty and the Honors College and residence hall staff and through quick surveys at the beginning, middle and end of each semester.
Students in the Honors College and throughout the university receive two sorts of special advising from us. Our Associate Dean, Lisa Schnell, and Fellowships Advisor, Brit Chase, identify and assist students who aspire to compete for nationally competitive fellowships and scholarships, such as the Fulbright, Truman, Rhodes, Udall, and Goldwater awards. This effort has been very successful, with UVM students regularly winning or achieving finalist status in competition with the finest students from across the country. Another office, devoted to promoting undergraduate research, matches students with professors who work with students in their labs and studios. This office also runs a number of grant and funding programs and helps to organize the annual student research conference that is coming up on April 22.
This newsletter and the ones that have come before it bear witness to what can happen when motivated students receive supportive advice. I hope you enjoy the newsletter and look forward to hearing from you.

Boxing Trainer Emanuel Steward dead at 68
The legendary trainer of Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis and current heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, has died. Emanuel Steward was known for his intensive, and personal training style, where he'd make a point of sharing meals and rooms with his fighters, taking their training programs well beyond a 9-5 schedule.
Steward's accomplishments included training 41 world champions, with his heavyweights accumulating a combined record of 34-2-1 in title fights.
Causes of death are currently unknown.

An amazing trainer; and all around class act. Boxing lost a lot when he passed.And lo, Kano looked down upon the field and saw the multitudes. Amongst them were the disciples of Uesheba who were greatly vexed at his sayings. And Kano spake: "Do not be concerned with the mote in thy neighbor's eye, when verily thou hast a massive stick in thine ass".
--Scrolls of Bujutsu: Chapter 5 vs 10-14."It is not often that a person in any line of work gets a chance to work with a legend, well I was privileged enough to work with one for almost a decade...I will miss our time together. The long talks about boxing, the world, and life itself. Most of all I will miss our friendship."
-Vladimir Klitschko-"He was the most loyal, generous, positive spirited, broadly accepting man I've ever known...He had a positive impact on everyone he encountered."
-Jim Lampley-'I'm completely devastated by the passing of my long-time friend, mentor and trainer Emanuel 'Manny' Steward.
'Manny has helped me get through some of the biggest fights in my career and I only regret that I couldn't return the favour and see him through his biggest fight.
'We've maintained a close relationship and the last time we spoke he seemed his usual upbeat self so it was very disturbing to hear about his illness and rapid decline.
'It is with a heavy heart that realisation of what I hoped were just rumours are now in fact true. Manny always told me I was the best, but the truth is, HE was the best and I'm grateful, privileged and honoured to be counted among his many historic successes
-Lennox Lewis-"I learned a lot from him during our professional relationship and I will be forever grateful for his help during that time. We were also friends and I know I am going to miss him as so many others will, too. He was an important part of our boxing community."
-Oscar De La Hoya-"With the loss of Emanuel Steward, we have lost a true Detroit icon...Emanuel Steward embodied our city's toughness, our competitive spirit, and our determination to always answer the bell...We are grateful for Emanuel Steward's many contributions to our city and his impact on generations of young people."
-Detroit Mayor Dave Bing-"Manny was a respected colleague who taught us so much not only about the sweet science but also about friendship and loyalty...His energy, enthusiasm and bright smile were a constant presence. Ten bells do not seem enough to mourn his passing."

AWesome! these tights are really great - I did not expect them to be so thick and cozy, they are perfect for colder weather, excellent quality. I got them in black. I was worried they would be very sheer and they aren't at all they are good thick tights that look very flattering and sexy. LOVE them!! 1.12.2012
So Cute I love love love the print of these. I got them as a gift (in the grey) and I love the hue, perfect for spicing up any solid color dress or skirt--but I have to be careful because my mom keeps trying to take them!! 12.30.2011
They look a little small... These are perfect but they look a little small. They're so versatile and wearable in so many ways. Waited so long for them to go on sale! Snatch 'em up now!! 12.25.2011
Cute I bought these in brown and they are less sheer than I expected. They're definitely be a cool accessory to a plain black dress for the winter, but I think I will be exchanging for the black or returning them. 12.4.2011
like it the color is a little bit different, but very warm when I wear it. good choice for winter. 11.16.2011
no stretch and too small I'm tall, 5'9" and relatively thin, but not model-thin. Since they're made of mostly Nylon they don't stretch. They're too small for me, I returned them. 10.5.2011
disappointed Was so excited I threw away the packaging to find out when I put them on there is a big hole!! Definately not worth the price. They look nice, but not sturdy. 9.8.2011
Love em They are definitely more for fall or winter since they are thicker material, but....probably the sturdiest pair of leggings I've purchased!

I'm a little bit confused...
So...have you seen serials as Prison Break or White Collar? They are interesting and exciting, aren't they? But, why such handsome and attractive main actors are gays??? I'm sure that there are too much men who have another orientation! Why they deprive our pretties part of the world from so beautiful partners??? :)
It's interesting to know your opinion :)
Most actors are gays... maybe they try 'it' to get their roles when they are initiating their careers and some of them have enjoyed it.
Because acting is indeed a skill. Often these actors start acting when they are in school and become skilled. Boys in school usually want to do manly things like play sports. The gay guys are more likely to enter the arts. This is also why so many male singers are gay too. When I was in school, drama class was girls and all the gay guys in the school.
haha, Mewe :) I like your answer! :)
Kiyama, lately too much people "try" to get their roles, don't they? :) :) :)
I think you confused yourself because of two things. First: Not all handsome or beautiful men are gays. Second you think that you have a chance dating such actors if it wasn't for the fact that they're gays. If I am wrong, then please consider using better words as they made me think that you want to date those actors, Otherwise, why bother?
Mewe, not all men who are interested in Arts or acting are sissies or gays. Maybe it was in your school, but not in all schools withing your State, Country or the rest of the world, if you even consider the rest of the world, cow boy!
You are wrong :) Of course, I don't want to date them! I even haven't got opportunity to do this :)) I'm just interested in getting different opinions on this questions and maybe understand myself why such things occur in the world.
Again you're trying to assume that only beautiful men are gays. And again are you wondering why there are men who are only interested in men, or are you sad because some beautiful men are gays and thus you'll have to choose only between average men?!
Ahmed, I don't mean myself! By starting this discussion I implied our society on the whole! And these actors are just examples of what's going on and that's all. Also, another evidence of this talk is that beauty has strong ifluence on th relationship. And there is no another approaches which can concern my interests.
Have you been elected by the women of the world to speak for them? who told you that other women are bothered by the fact that some handsome actors are gays?! Besides, you didn't answer the question.

Charleston police on Wednesday picked up a man wanted by the Charleston County Sheriff's Office for failure to appear in court on a gun charge.
An officer who was on patrol on Johns Island watched as Marty Lee Gladden, 20, of Dunwick Drive, jumped into his girlfriend's white 2007 Chevy Malibu about 4:30 p.m. on Brownswood Road, an incident report states.
Gladden matched the description of a suspect who ran from an attempted burglary that had just occurred in the nearby Summertrees neighborhood, police said.
Officers pulled the vehicle over and performed a search.
No guns were found on Gladden or in the vehicle, police said. But he was arrested when officers discovered that he was wanted by deputies for failure to appear on a gun possession charge in connection with a 2012 incident.
On June 14, deputies pulled over a vehicle driven by Gladden on Brownswood Road. He appeared nervous, wide eyed and avoided eye contact, deputies noted in a report.
Gladden slipped his hand into a crevice between his seat and the center console when he thought deputies weren't looking, the report states.
Deputies searched the vehicle and found a small, silver pistol hidden there, according to the report. The gun had seven rounds in the magazine but none in the chamber, deputies said.
Gladden told deputies that he was out of jail on bail for an armed robbery charge from 2011.
In that incident on Aug. 8, a 21-year-old man flagged down police near tennis courts on Bozo Lane about 10:15 p.m. to report that he had been held at gunpoint and robbed.
Gladden and three other Johns Island teenagers were charged in connection with that incident.

Luis Enrique is glad to have a win under his belt for Roma. "The result is always the most important thing."
The Giallorossi recovered from their derby defeat by squeezing past Palermo 1-0 with Erik Lamela's goal.
"The result is always the most important thing, but we also try to play an attacking style of football and work to improve," said the Coach.
"When the results arrive as well, than that makes everything seem a lot better.
"This victory over Palermo was above all important thanks to our performance against a good side."
Enrique took a risk by fielding Lamela from the start, but he scored the winner just seven minutes into his Serie A debut.
"Lamela is a strong player who still needs to grow. I liked his attitude and character today."

|Previous Verse
Galatians 3:19
|Next Verse
Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Note 1 at Ga 3:19: Paul had already proven that the Law was not given to bring justification (see notes 3-4 at Ro 3:19 and note 14 at Ro 3:31). Then why was it given? It was added (this verse) to the covenant of promise (Ga 3:18) to magnify our sin (see note 5 at Ro 7:11) and therefore remove any false ideas we might have of saving ourselves. It ruled out the possibility of self-salvation and made us ready for the covenant of grace (Ga 3:24). It was to remain valid and in force until the coming of the one true descendant of Abraham; i.e., Christ (Ga 3:16).Note 2 at Ga 3:19: The use of the words "added" and "till" are very significant. The Law was neither God's first nor His primary way of dealing with mankind. The covenant of grace, or promise (Ga 3:18), had already been in effect for 430 years before God gave the Law through Moses (Ga 3:17, see note 2 at Ro 4:10) and therefore had greater authority.
The word "till" is also used to show that the Law was only temporary until Christ came. When Christ came, He put an end to the Law for righteousness (Ro 10:4). Those who advocate the keeping of the Law for the purpose of right standing with God are going back to an Old Testament system of law that has been abolished (2Co 3:13 and Eph 2:15) and are making the work of Christ void in their lives (Ga 2:21).
Note 3 at Ga 3:19: The word "mediator" literally means to be in the middle or midst. It is "'one who mediates' between two parties with a view to producing peace" (Vine's Expository Dictionary). Moses was the mediator God used to make the Old Testament covenant of Law between Himself and the Jews. In the New Testament, Jesus is the mediator between God and mankind (1Ti 2:5, see note 4 at Ga 3:20).
