Jupiter's middle leg! Has it been C episodes already? Gratitude for listening. At times, words fell from our mouths as crap from ass. However, we pray we offered some manner of good advice on other occasions. We plan to continue as long as desire wills our tongues. In episode C, we offer another installment of Warriors. Here we discuss Gladiators, the brotherhood of the stadium.
What do two and a half white men know about blaxploitation movies? Unsurprisingly, very little, but we totally dug playing Soul Patrol, Wayne's funky version of Cosmic Patrol. In this episode, we chill, get our groove on and review the righteous Cosmic Patrol from Catalyst Game Labs. We also discuss what other genres would work well with this slick game. Solid!
Tune in for an evening with Chris and Wayne as they talk about Eclipse Phase. Lyal and Yujiro are here, but you wouldn't know it for a good 50% of the episode.
Lyal really got into the posthuman spirit and Skyped in. The man is method (or wasn't feeling very well). Unfortunately, the sound kept breaking up. Oh well. More Chris and Wayne!
The only thing too big to fail is a dragon, and if we had dragon bankers, we bet people wouldn't be so keen to Occupy Wall Street. You want to pass on this episode? Passing's for quarterbacks, and I don't see a number on your back. So, listen up and join the 1%.Also, a review of Descent: Journeys in the Dark.
In the first of two parts, we discuss running games set before and during an apocalypse. In this episode, it's Wayne's turn to read out the difficult words. Unlike Lyal's struggles with Icelandic, though, Wayne struggles with English words. Fyndið! In part 2, we'll look at playing in a post-apocalyptic setting and the role zombies really play in a zombocalyp... [click here for more]

In this episode, we discuss sexism and gender bias. To tackle a subject of such delicacy, we use Lego, as you would. We also discuss whether a gaming company can handle tentacle rape in a classy and tasteful way, especially when they don't even try to. Please excuse the unfortunate episode numbering. It was completely unintentional.
A lion, crocodile and hippopotamus walks into a bar. Oh, did I mention that this is just one demon? In this addition to Pantheon Pandemonium, we look at the Egyptians. As you would expect, we don't talk about pyramids and mummies barely get a mention. Instead, we discuss ma'at, ka, ba, the Book of the Dead, some hippopotamus-lion-crocodile demon, and gay m...

The month of series debuts continues with Locales, a look at how to use different settings in your games. In this episode, we also look at ships, from submarines to starships (not the band, although Lyal does talk about the band), with the added bonus of how to use them as antagonists and protagonists. Also, Chris talks about the virtues of booth babes, Wayne talks about the benefits of emphasi... [click here for more]

We're not bad; we're just recorded that way. In this installment of Creature Features, we continue to redefine what a "creature" is. We look at the mysterious, sexy and dangerous femme fatale and the lesser known homme letal (probably because we coined it).
Because our listeners demanded it: condottieri! Actually, it was only was one listener, and he really just casually mentioned it. In this edition of Warriors, we talk about mercenaries and free companies. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure buys everything else worth having. Live free and die hard.
In our second Locales episode, we look at prisons with their bars, confinement, monotony, brutality and rape. Your players will love them. We also review, with no spoilers, Prometheus and The Avengers, and discuss how to improve your Werewolf: The Forsaken game.
"Forever young, I want to be forever young. Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?"- "Forever Young", Alphaville Assail your opponent from behind, only fire at close range, and always, always keep the sun behind you. In this installment of Warriors, we talk about l'as, the star-turn, der uberkanonen, the flying ace.

Zynga says farewell to another departing exec
The list continues to grow -- another Zynga executive announced today that he is joining the group of those who recently jumped ship.
According to VentureBeat, Wilson Kriegel, who worked in business development, marketing, and advertising for the game maker, is leaving the company. Kriegel was fairly new to Zynga, having only started there when it acquired Omgpop in March for around $180 million.
At Omgpop, Kriegel was the chief revenue officer. On his LinkedIn profile he says was in charge of making the uber-popular game Draw Something into a "more fun, social and a global juggernaut."

Technology is constantly evolving. Phones, computers, televisions, etc. have all undergone major technological advancements over the past couple of decades. Likewise, the days of the bulky fax machine, audible dial tone, and annoying connection sound are all but over. Indeed, faxing can now be done over the internet via online fax.
What is online faxing?
We all know how a traditional fax machine works. The user places pages face down and dials a phone number to connect to another fax machine. Once connected to its recipient, the fax machine scans the contents and prints them out onto paper. Online faxing represents a technological advancement by utilizing an internet connection in favor of a phone line to complete a transmission.
One way to fax online is through email fax services. These subscription-based companies send faxes straight into your e-mail and allows you to send faxes directly to other e-mail accounts as well. Email fax services also provide tools to manage faxes received and sent as well as capacity to store faxes. Methods for online faxing include computers, an iPad, as well as smart phones.
How do you Fax Online?
The only way to fax online is to start an account with an online faxing service company. There are various providers of online faxing services, and it's important that you choose the provider that best suits your needs. Once you have established an account with a supplier, you will begin using whether a web-based e-mail system, an interface supplied by your faxing provider, or a desktop application provided by your online faxing company.
Faxes transmitted online leaves a clear footprint that's traced either by the user or service provider. No longer does the sender need to worry if their paper fax was appropriately collected on the other end. Faxes transmitted through a provider's interface or web-based e-mail system come with delivery confirmation and storage back-up to make sure nothing is lost in transmission.
What are the Advantages of Online Faxing?
First and foremost, online faxing saves a lot of trees. Indeed, the need for reams of paper no longer exists when faxes appear in your e-mail. Online faxing is also very cost-effective. For instance, nearly all online faxing providers charge less than ten dollars a month. Add this to the cost of your internet connection, which you likely would pay anyway, and it still comes out to less money than expensive printer ink cartridges and constant replacement of the fax-machine paper supply.
Online faxing is also more efficient than traditional faxing. You don't have to worry about the office fax machine being occupied or not working. You can even receive alerts on your phone or e-mail to let you know you have a fax waiting.

Trade and Investment Rules for Energy
I. Maintaining open Markets - Border Measures and Energy Trade
Trade and Climate Change
Both the UNFCCC and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol recognize the interplay between open markets and the commitments to reduce GHG emissions. The UNFCCC states in Article 3 that Parties "should cooperate to promote a supportive and open international economic system that would lead to sustainable economic growth." Importantly, the Kyoto Protocol provides that Parties "shall strive to implement policies and measures . . . in such a way as to minimize adverse effects, including . . . effects on international trade . . ." (Article 2, paragraph 2). The Task Force interprets these provisions as exhorting governments to maintain open markets and adhere to basic GATT rules as they implement national climate change policies.
The 192 States that ratified the UNFCCC meet annually in the Conference of Parties (COP) to agree on measures to implement the emission reduction targets under the Convention. At COP-13 in 2007, Parties adopted the Bali Action Plan, which sets out a negotiating process to achieve agreement on the next phase under the UNFCCC, following the expiration of the initial Kyoto implementation period in 2012. The next UNFCCC milestone will be COP-15, to be held in Copenhagen in November and December of 2009, with the objective of reaching international agreement on a post-2012 climate change agenda.
Border Measures under Consideration
The idea of using BTAs to deal with carbon emissions has been gaining momentum over the last number of years. A proposal to use border taxes as part of European GHG reduction measures had been passed by the European Parliament in 2007. While that proposal was not included in the E.U. Council's recent decision of 6 April 2009 on the revised European climate energy package, it illustrates the currency of various kinds of border tax measures under consideration in dealing with climate change issues.
Major climate change bills had been debated in the U.S. Congress, pre-dating the current Waxman-Market bill. The previous Lieberman-Warner bill was the most comprehensive of these and would have created a cap-and-trade system and required importers of goods from countries without a "comparable" system to purchase emission allowances at the American border. The bill failed to secure enough support in the Senate to ensure its passage, and it and similar proposals died with the end of the last session of the Congress in early 2009.
Under the new Congress, the situation has changed. The Waxman-Markey bill (the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009") passed the House of Representatives in June 2009 and is now proceeding through the Senate. Under this bill, border taxes in the form of "import allowances", at some future point, will be applied to carbon-intensive imports into the U.S. that are not subject to similar measures in the exporting country. The rationale is to counter "carbon leakage" - that is, production moving from jurisdictions that impose CO2 reduction measures to jurisdictions that do not have these requirements or whose laws are less stringent. However, these measures are as much aimed at international competitiveness concerns facing American industries that bear internal carbon reduction obligations versus those foreign competitors that do not bear the same burdens.
Whatever the motivations, knowledgeable experts have concluded that BTAs along the lines discussed in the E.U. and the U.S. (and in other jurisdictions) could contravene treaty obligations under the GATT and the WTO Agreement. Given these concerns, and given the unsettling effect of potentially protracted trade litigation in the WTO, such measures could further hinder the international flow of energy and energy-related goods.

Why is high quality teaching the most important key to your Chinese learning? By having a class with an experienced teacher who knows how to teach effectively and will teach you exactly what you need to learn, you are actually saving more money when compared to learning with an inexperienced teacher with a low class fee. Because the things you can learn with us in 1 hour is more than what you can learn with other teachers in maybe 3-4 hours. All teachers in our team hold Master and Bachelor degrees majoring in Chinese Language, Teacher Certifications, and Mandarin Level Certificates. Also, we all have more than two years of teaching experience, and all speak fluent English. We have been learning and researching for years in universities about efficient Chinese teaching methods. We have been working in this field for years as well, so we clearly know how to help you master our language step by step with the best technique. For the testimonials from our students please check here: http://www.gogogomandarin.com/Testimonials.html Unlike language schools and part-time tutors, Go-Go-Go Mandarin is a program provided by Elite Chinese teachers who are passionate about teaching Chinese language and culture. We provide high quality Chinese lessons, using a special method of teaching students say is much more effective than the methods used by others. Because we work for ourselves rather than a language school, the class fees are set and charged by each teacher instead of a school, so you are paying your teacher directly for the lessons you will take and the things you will learn.

Important Note: The information presented in this article has been updated and corrected by new information. Please read the new article here.
Throughout this series, one question has been repeatedly asked, does the brain emit radio waves? The answer should be an obvious yes based upon the information from this series, but I found a second opinion from engineers at MIT that should settle the issue once and for all.
A question was posed, "Can brain waves interfere with radio waves?"
Can brain waves interfere with radio waves?
Radio waves and brain waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation—waves of energy that travel at the speed of light. The difference between brain waves, radio waves, and other electromagnetic waves (such as visible light, X-rays and Gamma rays) lies in their frequency—that is, how often the waves peak and trough in a second.
Radio waves, which include radio and other wireless transmission signals, as well as other natural signals in the same frequency, peak and trough at between 50 and 1000 megahertz—that's between 50 million and one billion oscillations per second.
The human brain also emits waves, like when a person focuses her attention or remembers something. This activity fires thousands of neurons simultaneously at the same frequency generating a wave—but at a rate closer to 10 to 100 cycles per second.
So, now you know, the brain does emit radio waves and that they exist in the ELF band (under 300Hz). Some corrections must be made to the reply from MIT. When they refer to radio waves, they have selected a region of the radio spectrum that corresponds to transmissions made by FM radio stations. In fact, the region actually extends between 0-300Ghz, or to even 1Thz if you include sub-millimeter frequencies. The point they were trying to make is that it will not interfere with your car radio, which is true.
The explanation continues:
Interference happens when two waves of the same or very similar frequencies bump into each other. This might happen when the signals from two radio stations, both broadcasting at 89.7 megahertz from different cities, bump into one another. "The shape of the waves changes linearly, they add to and subtract from one another," says Dimitrios Pantazis, director of the Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Laboratory at MIT's McGovern Institute. As a result, songs become static.
Whilst true, it also depends on your detection equipment. In MEG the detectors are small and cannot accurately determine the frequency difference between photons. That is, the detectors classify a range of photons as being a particular frequency. When cancellation does occur, the remaining photons are too weak to activate the detector. The NSA gets round this by using larger antennas and highly expensive photon classifiers.
But, says Pantazis, since their frequencies are so wildly different, brain waves don't interfere with radio waves. Even if that was the case, brain waves are so weak, they are hardly measurable at all. For comparison, says Pantazis, "the magnetic field of the earth is just strong enough to move the needle of a compass. Signals from the brain are a billionth of that strength."
Very true, but he fails to mention the size of the wavelength. At 100Hz the wavelength is 2998Km. Let's put that in perspective:
The shortest distance from the [US] East to West Coast (as the crow flies) would be 2,092 miles (3,347 km) from San Diego, CA to Jacksonville, FL.
This means that what the MEG detects on the head of patient in a hospital, is the exact same as what can be detected at the other side of the US continent.
The difference is that an MEG has about 306 detectors spaced around the head, to create a 3D image. A detector on the other side of the country would not get this spacial quality and it would receive every other brain wave in the country at the same time. That is, it does not produce images of the brain, it just records signals that can be use to identify everything that you do or experience.
The engineer from MIT explains that here:
Hard to measure, but not impossible. MIT recently installed a new MEG scanner to study the function of the human brain. To capture brain signals, the MEG scanner is in a room shielded with mu metal, a special alloy that blocks external magnetic fields. "Like a rock in the middle of a river, this metal forces all electromagnetic signals to flow around the room and doesn't let any inside," says Pantazis.
The MEG scanner consists of a helmet that contains 306 sensors spaced uniformly across its surface. These "superconducting quantum interference detectors" (SQUID) are cooled to near absolute zero, which makes them superconductive and, according to Pantazis, "able to measure even the slightest magnetic signals from the brain."
We can conclude from this that the detector behind Remote Neural Monitoring, is very similar to an MEG machine. Unlike the MEG machine, this detector does not reject every other brain by shielding itself. On the contrary, it detects every signal, from every brain, in the entire nation, or 3000Km radius.
That's enough to listen to everyone in Moscow from the UK. No doubt it works the other way too.
The trick here is a highly advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) program. This separates the frequencies, classifies them and passes them to a supercomputer for decoding.
If you thought the warrantless wire tapping program was bad, then the fact that the NSA trawls through your private thoughts, conversations and generally uses you as a free bugging device in your own home should piss you right off.
The MEG lab, open since March 2011, is used by researchers across MIT. Projects are as diverse as studying visual attention, language processing, or even olfactory responses to pleasant and unpleasant smells. "It is a very exciting field of research, you never know how the brain will respond to different stimuli", says Pantazis. Meanwhile, the song on the radio remains the same. — Elizabeth Dougherty
The NSA does a lot more, with the greatest density of supercomputers in the world.
Have a nice day!

"The Sacred Grove," Children's Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 87
1. The Sacred Grove was green and fresh,
The morning sun shone bright around,
As Joseph knelt in fervent prayer,
As Joseph knelt in fervent prayer
Upon that sacred ground.
2. The Father and the Son appeared.
They spoke to him as with one voice.
Their message answered all his fears,
Their message answered all his fears
And made his heart rejoice.

Police chiefs to exit Scotland Yard
10:49am Tuesday 30th October 2012 in National News © Press Association 2013
Police bosses plan to move from Scotland Yard as they face making cuts of more than £500 million.
Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey told the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime that the force hopes to save around £6.5 million per year by moving to a smaller headquarters.
New Scotland Yard has been in its current location in Victoria Street since 1967 but Mr Mackey said it would take an investment of around £50 million to bring the building up to scratch.
He said that, as the force faces staff cuts, there will also be more and more space at the site, which is "an expensive luxury" in central London.
Mr Mackey said: "It's an expensive building to run and it's an expensive building to maintain and as we go through this change programme it's going to have space in it that we don't need. In central London that's an expensive luxury."
The force paid £124.5 million for the building in 2008 and it costs £11 million per year to run.
It is expected that the move will take around two years once approvals are in place.

Friday, September 5th, 2008Many hours, paint, and blue painter's tape later Sandi Denhof accomplished a darling furniture piece for her living room. Black and White checkerboard for the top and red underneath for a peek-a-boo surprise of color. She admits that this project took much patience and time. It shows!
I have to admit right when I saw Sandi's dropleaf table I thought of Mackenzie-Childs which is one of my favorites. The eclectic style and colorful hand-painted unique pieces are very charming. Home accessories from Mackenzie-Child could be a fab add to Sandi's room to pull the whole look together.
Checkerboarding in Style!

Since playing arma 2 I've found that there are certain people who enjoy to shoot friendly players. This tends to happen for a number of reasons, if you kill one of their ai team by mistake, if they want to get into a helicopter before you, or just out of boredom or frustration. Other times while playing a CTI they will start to destroy the base so no one else in the game can continue fighting.
I really dont understand why there is no real solution to quickly deal with this. Games like counter strike have a very good system to deal with this, after a certain amount of friendly fire the offending player is banned from the server for 24 hours. This means that most players try hard not to kill team mates even by mistake. Counterstrike also gives the player who was killed the ability to penalize the player who killed them by freezing them for 10 seconds or putting a marker on them so others know which player it was. I know that people who run servers want them to be accessible to everyone but these types of people seem to run out of control with no way to deal with them unless there is an admin in the server 24/7. I'm sure that a friendly fire limit could be set up so this doesnt happen..

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
User Friendly
Because of its slightly old-fashioned LessTif (a Motif clone [6][7]) interface, Praat is unlikely to win any design awards, but at least it is user friendly. The developers have not restricted their work to the Linux version; the software has been ported to FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Windows, SGI, Solaris, and HPUX. If you are interested in porting Praat to a system that is not currently supported, you just need the compiler and the LessTif library for the graphical interface.

text: Love blooms for a would-be hired killer in Angel's Dance, which blends elements of a crime thriller with black comedy. Tony (Kyle Chandler) is offered a job with a powerful Mafia family after he saves the life of the capo's nephew, even though Tony isn't sure he's really interested in a life of crime. To give him a crash course in his new line of work, Tony is sent to L.A. to study with Rosellini (James Belushi), a hired killer of no small reputation. After assigning him Nietzsche as required reading and staging a few practice sessions with water pistols, Rosellini gives Tony his final homework project -- pick a name at random from the phone book, find the person, and kill him or her. The name Tony comes up with is Angelica Chase (Sheryl Lee), "Angel" to her friends. Tony finds Angel just in time to interrupt her latest suicide attempt; Angel is beautiful and charming, but an emotional wreck with eccentric tastes, a caffeinated personality, and a job at a mortuary (she even lives next door). Tony is immediately infatuated and can't bring himself to kill her, so Rosellini decides he has to take over the job, but to the surprise of everyone, Angel knows how to handle herself in a time of crisis. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Warsow 0.5 Seeks Demo Shooters
Based on the eSport Duel, first person shooter Warsow is about to be released in version 0.5 and the makers are calling developers to help with demos to promote the downloads.
Anyone who wants to help, grabs the current developer-version, plays the game and gives the Warsow team the best demos. These should show off the latest maps and features of the game. Also, frags should show both the normal and "instagib" modes of play. Warsow developers are extremely interested in demos that display play-scenes that continue after the next opponent death. The demo will be edited by a professional Japanese film-maker called Muff.
Despite the latest version being raised by a mere 0.5, Warsow is still speaking of a "major release" promising some big changes. New is the "Team Domination" mode and old maps re-worked with some completely new. The "Matchmaker" mode seeks out suitable opponents for duels and the angelscript allows players to write plugins for rules and play-characters. The best plugins will be integrated into future versions of Warsow. The 3D engine has been lightly improved and framebuffer-objects are now standard for portal and shadow maps.
The comic-look shooter Warsow is multi-player compatible and runs on a Quake 2 engine. Registration in the Warsow forum is necessary to download the latest version. The exact date of the v.0.5 release is not yet known.

An Ohio Highway Patrol trooper responding to a vehicle crash today had to jump out of harm's way when her cruiser was hit by truck.
Icy roadways were a contributing factor in the crash, and a 22-year-old woman was cited for failure to maintain reasonable control of her 2005 Dodge pickup around 2:25 a.m. on northbound Interstate 75 in West Chester Twp., said Sgt. Sean Wickman of the Hamilton post.
Wickman said the incident occurred shortly after Trooper Jessica McIntyre — a 14-year veteran of the force — had responded to a one-vehicle crash on the east side of the interstate.
At the same time, Wickman said another trooper was also responding to a separate one-vehicle crash on the west side of the highway.
Wickman said motorist Sierra Dashley, 22, lost control of her Dodge truck and slid off the roadway, striking the rear of McIntyre's cruiser.
"The trooper had just exited her vehicle and walked behind it," Wickman said. "She jumped to safety and is without injury."
Dashley was cited for failing to maintain reasonable control. Wickman said the police cruiser will likely be totaled.

Cellule Eat Interview for The Dedicated
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011Interview from July 18th, 2011
Cellule Eat is a techno, micro-funk live act trio from France and Germany. It consists of Pit Spector, Boris and Tilman the head of the German techno and house label "Klamauk". On Saturday I was able to ask them some questions before they played one of their phenomenal live-sets. The live-set was really rich in variety and covered many different styles from jazzy and deep house to techno, minimal and microfunk.
Dispatch: When did you start making music together as "Cellule Eat" and how do you produce? Has everybody his defined function?
Cellule Eat: I (Pit) met Boris three years ago in the zero zero bar in Paris where he was a DJ resident and then we staged many parties together. Tilman joined us after Boris met him on myspace and listened to the first Klamauk release, which he really liked. At first Boris and I produced in our flat but this was more like a ableton live jam, then we started to produce with Tilman. Because of the distance between Tilman and us we often exchange some loops and ideas over the Internet and then we finish the tracks together. But we don't really have a determined production concept, we just make music together and our different influences and ideas form the Cellule Eat Sound. Just do it!
Dispatch: Which equipment do you use for producing and for live playing? How do you sync?
Cellule Eat: In the studio, which we share with Antislash, we use many different instruments. For example we use "real" instruments like guitars and different percussion equipment and microphones to record our voices. Moreover we use equipment like microkorg, korg electribe, Kaos Pad,the Nano Pad controller and of course Ableton live. In live situation Boris raps/sings in a few tracks and we plan to use more live instruments in our next live set, but in clubs there is always a space-problem.
We do not sync our computers via Midi, we mix the signals of the computers via headphones and a mixer. When we play live mostly one of us plays the main track and the others add some accents and additional sounds.
Dispatch: How would you describe the sound of "Cellule Eat" ?
Cellule Eat: That's a difficult question but we would locate our music somewhere in between Microfunk, Minimal, Jazz-House and Techno and our live-sets are very dance-floor oriented.
Dispatch: When is the release of your next EP and how changed your sound compared to your last EP on minibar?
Cellule Eat: Our next EP will be released on the House-Label Maria Colors (Frankfurt) in September. On this EP we wanted to do some new stuff, something different with more melodies and more "real" sounding tones and sounds. We wanted to create something apart from monotonous computer music. We also have a track on the new Klamauk release, which will be out in September too.
Dispatch: How would you describe the electronic music scene in France compared to the German scene?
Cellule Eat: In France, there are fewer producers, than in Germany. There are only little groups. We know many French producers but in Paris it is really more difficult to play and be recognized than in german cities. When you reach a label in France it feels much rougher than in Germany because the people in Germany are used to it and there exists a real electronic music culture.
Pit told me that he and Boris are going to launch a web radio Programme from September on where you can listen to them every Thursday and Friday. The address is: www.radiozerozero.com.

1 Corinthians 7 June 28, 2011 BQ62811
But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. But if they do not have self–control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn. (1 Corinthians 7:8–9)
These verses answer the question, "Should those who were married and divorced before becoming Christians remarry?" No doubt that was a key question in the Corinthian church. Formerly married people came to salvation in Christ and asked if they now had the right to marry someone else. Paul's response here is uniquely fitted to those who want to know their options.
Paul is speaking to people who were divorced before coming to Christ. They wanted to know if they had the right to marry. His word to them is that it is good for them who are now free of marriage to remain even as I. By that statement Paul affirms that he was formerly married. Because marriage seems to have been required for membership in the Sanhedrin, to which Paul may once have belonged, because he had been so devoutly committed to Pharisaic tradition (Gal. 1:14), and because he refers to one who could have been his wife's mother (Rom. 16:13), we may assume that he was once married. His statement here to the previously married confirms that—even as I. Likely he was a widower. He does not identify with the virgins but with the unmarried and widows, that is, with the formerly married.
The point is that those who are single when converted to Christ should know that it is good for them to stay that way. There is no need to rush into marriage. Many well–meaning Christians are not content to let people remain single. The urge to play cupid and matchmaker can be strong, but mature believers must resist it. Marriage is not necessary or superior to singleness, and it limits some potential for service to Christ (vv. 32–34).
Later in the chapter Paul advised believers to remain as they were. Staying single was not wrong, and becoming married or staying married were not wrong. But "in view of the present distress" the Corinthian believers were experiencing, it seemed much better to stay as they were (7:25–28).
If, however, a single believer did not have self–control, that person should seek to marry. If a Christian is single but does not have the gift of singleness and is being strongly tempted sexually, he or she should pursue marriage. Let them marry in the Greek is in the aorist imperative, indicating a strong command. "Get married," Paul says, for it is better to marry than to burn. The term means "to be inflamed," and is best understood as referring to strong passion (cf. Rom. 1:27). A person cannot live a happy life, much less serve the Lord, if he is continually burning with sexual desire—even if the desire never results in actual immorality. And in a society such as Corinth's, or ours, in which immorality is so prevalent and accepted, it is especially difficult not to succumb to temptation.
I believe that once a Christian couple decides to get married they should do it fairly soon. In a day of lowered standards, free expression, and constant suggestiveness, it is extremely difficult to stay sexually pure. The practical problems of an early marriage are not nearly as serious as the danger of immorality.
Deciding about marriage obviously is more difficult for the person who has strong sexual desires but who has no immediate prospect for a husband or wife. It is never God's will for Christians to marry unbelievers (2 Cor. 6:14), but neither is it right just to marry the first believer who will say yes. Though we may want very much to be married, we should be careful. Strong feelings of any sort tend to dull judgment and make one vulnerable and careless.
There are several things that Christians in this dilemma ought to do. First, they should not simply seek to be married, but should seek a person they can love, trust, and respect, letting marriage come as a response to that commitment of love. People who simply want to get married for the sake of getting married run a great risk of marrying the wrong person. Second, it is fine to be on the lookout for the "right person," but the best way to find the right person is to be the right person. If believers are right with God and it is His will for them to be married He will send the right person—and never too late.
Third, until the fight person is found, our energy should be redirected in ways that will be the most helpful in keeping our minds off the temptation. Two of the best ways are spiritual service and physical activity. We should avoid listening to, looking at, or being around anything that strengthens the temptation. We should program our minds to focus only on that which is good and helpful. We should take special care to follow Paul's instruction in Philippians: "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things" (4:8).
Fourth, we should realize that, until God gives us the right person, He will provide strength to resist temptation. "God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Cor. 10:13),
Finally, we should give thanks to the Lord for our situation and be content in it. Salvation brings the dawning of a new day, in which marriage "in the Lord" (v. 39) is an option.

- Or you can order WPS fact sheets and WPS training materials from the Ag Center.
EPA's Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for Agricultural Pesticides is a regulation aimed at reducing the risk of pesticide poisonings and injuries among agricultural workers and pesticide handlers. The WPS offers protections to approximately 2.5 million agricultural workers (people involved in the production of agricultural plants) and pesticide handlers (people who mix, load, or apply pesticides) that work at over 600,000 agricultural establishments. The WPS contains requirements for pesticide safety training, notification of pesticide applications, use of personal protective equipment, restricted-entry intervals after pesticide application, decontamination supplies, and emergency medical assistance.

How To Comply With the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides
Who and What Are Covered?
The Worker Protection Standard (WPS) protects employees on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses from occupational exposure to agricultural pesticides. The regulation covers two types of employees:- Pesticide handlers -- those who mix, load, or apply agricultural pesticides; clean or repair pesticide application equipment; or assist with the application of pesticides in any way.
- Agricultural workers -- those who perform tasks related to the cultivation and harvesting of plants on farms or in greenhouses, nurseries, or forests. Workers include anyone employed for any type of compensation (including self-employed) doing tasks -- such as carrying nursery stock, repotting plants, or watering -- related to the production of agricultural plants on an agricultural establishment. Workers do not include such employees as office employees, truck drivers, mechanics, and any other workers not engaged in worker or handler activities.
In addition, there are some WPS requirements that apply to all persons and some that apply to anyone who handles pesticide application equipment or cleans or launders pesticide-contaminated personal protective equipment.
The WPS does not apply when pesticides are applied on an agricultural establishment in the following circumstances:
- For mosquito abatement, Mediterranean fruit fly eradication, or similar wide-area public pest control programs sponsored by governmental entities. The WPS does apply to cooperative programs in which the growers themselves make or arrange for pesticide applications.
- On livestock or other animals, or in or about animal premises.
- On plants grown for other than commercial or research purposes, which may include plants in habitations, home fruit and vegetable gardens, and home greenhouses.
- On plants that are in ornamental gardens, parks, and public or private lawns and grounds that are intended only for aesthetic purposes or climatic modification.
- By injection directly into agricultural plants. Direct injection does not include "hack and squirt," "frill and spray," chemigation, soil-incorporation, or soil-injection.
- In a manner not directly related to the production of agricultural plants, such as structural pest control, control of vegetation along rights-of-way and in other noncrop areas, and pasture and rangeland use.
- For control of vertebrate pests.
- As attractants or repellents in traps.
- On the harvested portions of agricultural plants or on harvested timber.
- For research uses of unregistered pesticides.
Summary of WPS Requirements
Protection during applications -- Applicators are prohibited from applying a pesticide in a way that will expose workers or other persons. Workers are excluded from areas while pesticides are being applied.
Restricted-entry intervals -- Restricted-entry intervals must be specified on all agricultural plant pesticide product labels. Workers are excluded from entering a pesticide-treated area during the restricted-entry interval, with only narrow exceptions.
Personal protective equipment -- Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be provided and maintained for handlers and early-entry workers.
Notification to workers -- Workers must be notified about treated areas so they may avoid inadvertent exposures.
Decontamination supplies -- Handlers and workers must have an ample supply of water, soap, and towels for routine washing and emergency decontamination.
Emergency assistance -- Transportation must be made available to a medical care facility if a worker or handler may have been poisoned or injured. Information must be provided about the pesticide to which the person may have been exposed.
Worker Protection Program Fact Sheet and safety posters -- Training is required for all workers and handlers, and a pesticide safety poster must be displayed.
Access to labeling and site-specific information -- Handlers and workers must be informed of pesticide label requirements. Central posting of recent pesticide applications is required.

General information on WPS
New WPS Glove Requirements for Workers, Handlers, and Agricultural Pilots
On September 1, 2004, EPA posted the final rule amending the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for glove requirements. The final rule amended the WPS for agricultural pesticides in the following two ways: (1) All agricultural pesticide handlers and early-entry workers covered by the Worker Protection Standard are now permitted to wear separate glove liners beneath chemical-resistant gloves and (2) Agricultural pilots do not have to wear chemical-resistant gloves when entering or exiting aircraft. Handlers and early entry workers may choose whether to wear the liners. The liners may not be longer than the chemical-resistant glove, and they may not extend outside the glove. The liners must be disposed of after 10 hours of use, or whenever the liners become contaminated. Lined or flocked gloves, where the lining is attached to the inside of the chemical-resistant outer glove, remain unacceptable. Regulatory action was taken to reduce the discomfort of unlined chemical resistant gloves, especially during hot or cold periods. Additionally, chemically resistant gloves do not add any appreciable protection against minimal pesticide residues found around the cockpit of an aircraft.More information from EPA

How to Comply with the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides: What Employers Need to Know - Revised 2005
The Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides How to Comply Manual has been updated to reflect amendments to the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), a regulation designed to protect agricultural workers and pesticide handlers. The new 2005 WPS How to Comply (HTC) Manual supersedes the 1993 version. Changes to the WPS since 1993 have made the earlier version obsolete, and its continued use may lead an employer to be out of compliance. The 2005 HTC Manual revision was coordinated by EPA's National Agricultural Compliance Assistance Center and a workgroup consisting of representatives from EPA Headquarters, EPA Regional Offices, and several state agencies, with input solicited from USDA and other state and tribal pesticide agencies.

How to Comply with the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides, Revised 2005
Avoiding Heat Stress
The WPS requires employers to take any necessary steps to prevent heat illness (too much heat stress) while personal protective equipment is being worn. Employers can take many precautions against heat stress. Some of them are summarized here:- Training -- Train workers and supervisors how to control heat stress and how to recognize symptoms of heat illness.
- Monitoring and adjusting workloads --
Take into account the weather, workload, and condition of the workers,
and adjust work practices accordingly. Higher temperatures, high humidity,
direct sun, heavy workloads, older workers, and workers unaccustomed
to heat are more likely to become ill from heat. Here are things to
-- Monitor temperature, humidity, and workers' responses at least hourly in hot environments
-- Schedule heavy work and PPE-related tasks for the cooler hours of the day
-- Acclimatize workers gradually to hot temperatures
-- Shorten the length of work periods and increase the length of rest periods
-- Give workers shade or cooling during breaks
-- Halt work altogether under extreme conditions. - Drinking -- Make sure employees drink at least the minimum required amounts of water to replace body fluid lost through sweating. Thirst does not give a good indication of how much water a person needs to drink.
More details on all these measures are included in EPA's "A Guide to Heat Stress in Agriculture," May 1993, available from farm supply companies and from the U.S. Government Printing Office using document number 055-000-00474-9. Issued jointly by EPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the guide offers practical, step-by-step guidance for nontechnical managers on how to set up and operate a heat stress control program.
