Hi, This entry is in Response to a Story Re a Secret Vid Released by an Incarcerated Transgender Woman. Since–though a Hetero, myself–I personally do have LGBTH Friends, these Issues touch me.
OTOH, since May is "Blue Ribbon Minds Month"–and I've been carrying this story with me, it happened to me, in 2012–I'm now making it Public here, for the first Time.
(Please Note This entry was originally written, as a Comment on Someone else's Blog. Since it became so long, I placed it here, instead): l
The same problem (forbiddance of ANYTHING with a Mic and/or Camera, along with severe maltreatment by staff) also exists in Hospital (Adult "Baby-Sitting") "Psych" Wards–supposedly "treating" the Vulnerable Individuals , who are placed there, Voluntarily or involuntarily. For the Record, this isn't something like "Hearsay ," or any such thing! As my Blog's Name implies: "manicartist…" I'm an Individual with a Genetically-Inherited, Lifelong (Blessing in Disguise) condition, called "Manic Depression," (currently fadishely called "Bipolar… This, or That."). Frankly, from what I've personally experienced, on five separate, vastly different occasions, under different circumstances–with, but a Single Exception, at an Expensive, Private, "Hospital" which appeared more a Resort SPA, than a Psychiatric Hospital–Three of the Five Hospitals had Staff and Policies, not unlike that mid-1970s' Movie, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," (with Jack Nicholson), most even had the Quintessential "Nurse Ratchet," One, in Houston, Texas, had both, Ratchet, an Overly-muscled Bully…err Security guard, so big his standing in the Middle of the Lock up Ward, left little space for the actual Patients
I Often Felt it was THEY, the Ones, Who Should Be Locked-Up, by the " Men in the White Coats;" Not Us In my View, the level of…, (passive-aggressive…, dare I say: bordering on Cruel…), their Behavior towards Us is not Only Extremely Traumatizing, Inhumane…, It was/Is Downright Criminal!
Therefore, the Issue here, is HOW WE'RE TREATED, while (essentially) "Incarcerated."
My Experience was nothing Healthy. It was all Harrowingly Traumatizing–and this is the 1st time I make it Public, (after all, May IS "Blue Ribbon Minds" Month).
It was late May, 2012; my Youngest Son was about to go on a Year-long Bicycle/Camping Trip, through Eurasia, starting with 2.5 months in China, always going West.
My stress Level was extremely High, but otherwise–though Worried, as any Loving Mother, in her Right Mind, Would–I was Stable.
Since my "15-minute Psychiatrist" wasn't the type to Listen to me, I'd made a timed 15-Min Video of myself, hoping to simply give him a "Heads-Up" of what type of Motherly ordeal I was about to go through, until Mid-2013.
As Someone who Lives with a set of Conditions such as mine, I Believed it The Responsibly sensible thing to Do.
Boy, was I WRONG! <
Since I did have a history of Suicide Attempts–the last being nearly 30 years ago, and I no longer believed in such Solution to problems–I naively told him on the Video, using the big "S" word he needn't worry, due to my Knowings (ie: Reincarnation, etc), such wouldn't be cause of concern.
Before he even finished the Video, he put my iPod Touch down, took some Notes, made a brief Phone call, and in about 10-15 minutes, I was met outside his office by 2 Female Nurses, accompanied by 2 "Butchie" (man-like) Female Armed Guards; all 4 of whom stayed with me until the Ambulance Arrived.
Immediately upon spotting the guns, a rising m yet well-guarded Panic attack began rising within me. Since I was nicely dressed in a Classy Paisley Midi, split Skirt, and Matching sleeveless Blouse, and my Hair was up done Casually but Stylishly, I don't wear Makeup, they did treat me with Dry Cordiality.
During the Ride, fearing the worst, And seized by a Panic Attack, I made the mistake of Deleting my Video Message…, Now I had No proof my (former) Psychiatrist'd lie through his teeth about my condition, both for my Admission, and 5 days later to a Judge, trying to keep me in, 21 additional days.
Upon arrival at "3North" Ward, (as it is known by the community), I was dispossessed of EVERYTHING, sandals and all; all I was allowed to keep were my Skirt, panty, and Blouse, no Bra Allowed, no Hair Pins, only a Simple HeairBand for a Ponny tail was given me. For the next five (5) days, I was systematically DENIED Medications I needed, whilst Medicated with Medication I'd taken in the past with bad Results…, this latter, and their Refusal at providing me Valerian Root tea (Nature's Xanax), and Dandelion Root tea (Nature's Valium), somehow Uninhibited my "No-Cussing" self-Policy, and every day at around 2pm, out came the extremely Labile, Saylor-Mouthed (someone else from within me, I could neither stop, nor recognize) who did not let up her Cynicism, Mouthiness, Rudeness (Mind you, this behavior was strictly directed To Staff and Doctors, alike, NOT other Patients, with most of Whom, I got along quite well).
I also couldn't stop being ultra-cynnical, (reportedly) Disruptive, during the Silliest of Groups, we had each afternoon–led by a(n obviously-untrained) Nurse's Aide, going through the "News" of the day ,(all-Censored, of course), from the local Newspaper.
Since my Bachelors is Print Journalism, with a large Dose of Philosophy (E and W), including Self-audited Courses from Oxford University's Philosophy Dept, via Podcasts, in Critical Thinking, Logic, and Anything else Prof. Marianne Talbot would Lecture about.
I'd uncontrollably blurt out what I thought of those "News."
All the same, not just me, we were all Infantilized, treated as if we were two-year-olds, yet expected to Behave to Staff and each other like Mature, Stable, 50-Something Un-Medicated Individuals…
The way we were treated with threats of being locked in our rooms, for hours, the Lack of Real Activities, being made fun of, not being listened to–treated worse than children, all of it, has allowed me to (years later), realize WHY they confiscated my Sole Source of Meditative Music and Uplifting, Anxiety-Reducing Device (my iPod Touch): not only did it have a Mic and Camera, it could also record Vids, and connect to the Outside, Via WiFi.
Thus, ultimately, like the Transgender Woman and her Treatment in the Georgia Jail, Mirrors somewhat, HOW we, the so-called "Mentally Ill" have, are, and still will be, in the foreseable future, "Treated" either in Jail or in Hospital's Psych Wards. The Total Lack of Freedom, and Truly Insane Treatment we're dished-out, is nearly the same.
In my Case, the Hospital's staff always searched Visitors and whatever was brought to me. They also would do "sweeps" of our rooms when we were busy elsewhere in the ward–things disappeared, went to the wrong side, from where they'd been…, our Fragile Minds made even more Fragile by their totally incompetent, Inhumane, Idiotic, Unnecessarily Cruel, Infantilizing OverDrugging, Poor-Food Choices (I'm Vegetarian & they literally made fun of my refusing to eat meat, esp. when I said I didn't wish to "lower my Energetic Frequency, by doing so…" (something which is perfectly Normal in my System of Understanding of Life). Their comment to the Doctor about this, was Ignorantly disparaging, at best; Utterly Incompetent, at its Worst.
Reading about this Secret Video, made me truly wish we could somehow do the same at a few of the Psych Wards I've been in. This last one, being a most Traumatizing, unforgettable, Life-and-Mind-Changing Experience.
Rather than whatever "Healing" the Doctor may have pretended to see happen, failed miserably!
My takeaway from it was Fear of Institutionizatiion, A fruitless Searching for a better Psychiatrist; Learning I COULD NEVER TRUST ANOTHER DOCTOR, PSYCHIATRIST, THERAPIST, ADVOCACY GROUP MEMBER…, No-One in this Field…, Ever Again! Indeed, in my View, they're all a Bunch of Dr. Mengelas…!
They nearly Destroyed Who I Did Come to Be–a Lightworker! Nonetheless, the scars, the mistrust remain.
My Applause for those with Courage enough (and the Friends outside) who'll Dare do what she Did. We're All One, and when Anyone suffers, We All Suffer; when I'm Well (and in time, I WILL) , so will All of Us!
Ubuntu and Namastè, my friends! (Hug a Weird Stranger This month).

Posts Tagged 'Exercise'
Throughout the best vocation inside military would probably locate wide variety from higher memories regarding having plus exercising. How much misinformation could be so great that will you'd guess we are managing Chilly Warfare propaganda? If the entire lie is generally told frequently enough it may be treated being comprehend. Here are a number of a fallacies, is positioned and propaganda about exercise.
Local plumbing service to exercise could be the time the truth that fits ones individual schedule. That might be morning, midday or perhaps night. The enemy loves to rob among any spoke of flexibility to enable you to just surrender and exercise an ample amount of. Morning working out will help the wake-up further evolvement, and it's likely you'll feel concentrated. Mid-day working out will encourage and charge you and let you overcome whom afternoon grogginess.
Nighttime physical exercise is surely a tremendous stress-management tool which will get that your blood circulation back up in order that you are surely infused combined with the energy take it easy at dusk considerably more. Any time versus morning metabolism, difference is probably insignificant when comparing the overall benefit of exercising. It could be propaganda with the enemy. This type of myth may be busted.
What much different hogwash! The Wizard of Oz might just turn results into unwanted weight, but this is the fairytale, and each of the Tooth Fairy aren't able that will assist you on this website! Snap as a result, Soldier! Fat couldn't and would not turn to be sure you strength, and physical cannot in addition to won't turn to assist you fat! Fogged headlights carry out manifest. You get rid of fat and additionally make muscle OR MAYBE you get rid of muscle not forgetting gain weight. Get exactly who other propaganda through your mind!
My well-performing agencies inside line of business own uncovered several sources of this myth. You'll have the option that possibilities concerns of the medical community will may are likely involved in of which propagation from this misinformation. Fact: Movement marketplaces healing presenting it happen to be practiced correctly and inside the guidance of the physician presently, here can be defined as big look at question for you personally.
Exercise can never result within significant weight reduction unless anyone dedicate all his time to it again and massively change your diet plan. Just check out the ads offering fitness equipment and physical exercise programs. They generally say in the contract details that you simply achieve the outcomes they market when joined with a right diet and their particular exercise. Interpretation – take in less, exercise more could lose weight and appearance better.
Need to make sure a typical workout with your house gym as well as at health club it's quite possible that you may burn fewer than 300 fats per program. Therefore that allows you to lose only 1 pound involving weight throughout exercise; you have to do half-hour of exercise for around 12 days every month. And that is assuming a person didn't increase the length of calories you ingest.
While doing ladies and various other exercises, every one of us burn regarding 7 in order to 10 calories each and every minute. However, that's only reserved for the minutes that you are exercising. Most of a 60 minutes exercise program is invested moving with machine to help machine, changing equipment and hanging out and about.
So beneath best types of conditions using typically 8? Calories each minute and exercise for forty five minutes from a 1 hour exercise practice session, one would certainly burn regarding 340 calorie consumption. Using the actual recommended 3 workouts every week, that's in relation to 1, 020 calories once a week we might burn via exercise. It is take in regards to month from exercise only at that rate to get rid of about some pound. And every one of us don't determine at that will pace.
One of the many other astonishing findings for recent exploration is that folks who accomplish exercise often reward themselves for spending some time to set off exercise. Clothing the sensation of, wow we burned upward 300 calorie consumption, I can pay for to get that donut.
Everyone recognizes that workouts are made for your body system. Does anyone understand typically the correlation around exercise and additionally heart overall health? There are some people who trust that undertaking exercise is a better way so that they can feel healthy and then be better in most aspect within their life. Taking into consideration right to it, exercise together with heart well being is something that you'll want to keep watch over because it happens to be something which you could really concentrate on to obtain additional healthy.
One can find simply further benefits to help you exercise than you're able to talk about inside an article. The link between workout and spirit health can be something you just cannot deny so it is something which would stay to you and together with your health without end. When you evaluate exercise and additionally heart health you might see that more exercise you can perform, the healthier and stronger your heart is likely to become.
It may seem to be a general theory, and for sure, it is amazingly general in the even more you perform, the improved your heart is useful for you. A number of reasons that this is actually case Relating to the rapport between workout and spirit health the usual point is usually that through doing exercise that you are giving your own self a decide where the heart together with lungs are generally constantly shifting faster than they're for all those resting. This means as you exercise routine, your core and bronchi are forced to the office harder slightly more that you will, the far more your heart wants to do for everyone.
By helping to make exercise a natural part of your regular, you usually are forcing your own heart for work each moment, and this will make it more potent. Basically, relating to exercise as well as heart health the idea is that there is connected. The more effective your heart does on, the much more exercise you might be competent to do without stopping and the more often exercise you can try, the healthier and stronger your heart might be.
Like just about anything, when it reaches exercise and also heart health you could have to get results your technique up. For those who haven't executed much keeping fit, your cardiovascular system isn't going so as to take a whole lot right gone. Exercise in addition to heart wellness are something that you need to work close to, so hurry and confer with your doctor so that they can develop an ideal exercise routine which would clearly help you and unfortunately your health.

Editor: It saddens me greatly when New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has no respect for a child so viable and so real.
No one has the right to abort a baby in any stage of his of her life unless you want to commit a murder.
Aborting a baby is murder and anyone who does so will certainly have to answer to God for one of the greatest sins of immorality.
I had been told after my first child I could never have another child, and when I had gone to the doctor, pregnant again, after two years, he had said I should have an abortion for I would never carry another baby.
I had the second child and I then had become pregnant with my third child and I went to a different doctor and had the third child. I had a doctor, three nurses, and then pregnant with the fourth child who became a lawyer.
All professional children with the help of the almighty God. If I had listened to my first doctor and had an abortion, I never would have had my wonderful family.
Anyone wishing to have an abortion, please, do not murder your child whom God will create for you specially.

Scotland's world-class drinking water will be celebrated as a campaign is launched to encourage people to carry a refillable bottle and top up from the tap.
The 'Your Water, Your life' campaign, aims to make 'tap' the first choice of Scotland's water drinkers, for the environment, their health and their pocket.
Research reveals 73 per cent of people in Scotland mostly drink tap water, however less than a third (31 per cent) drink tap water from a reusable bottle when they're away from home.
As the TV and radio campaign gets underway, businesses all over Scotland will also be encouraged to help make it easy for people to top up from the tap by offering access to tap water in their premises.
Douglas Millican, Scottish Water chief executive, said: "We're calling on our five million customers to help us create a positive shift in the way tap water is consumed in Scotland.
"The benefits of topping up with fresh, great tasting Scottish tap water are clear.
"It's good for the pocket, good for the environment and good for your health.
"By prompting Scotland's water drinkers to refill reusable bottles from the tap, our hope is that more and more people take advantage of the world-class drinking water they have at their fingertips, every day."
He added: "We'll also be encouraging businesses to play their part, by proactively offering tap water in their premises, so the option of topping up becomes common place and makes refilling on the go easier."
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: "This is a fantastic campaign which fits in with our work to reduce Scotland's dependence on single use plastic and is raising awareness of the health benefits of drinking more tap water, which is excellent in quality and value.
"We would encourage people to make the switch to reusable bottles if they can as it will help protect the environment and can save money.
"This campaign also builds on our commitments to tackle our throwaway culture as we are the first part of the UK to commit to a deposit return scheme."

Eleven years after Al Gore forecast the disastrous consequences of climate change in his Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," the former vice president says many of his dire projections already have come to pass: Take Hurricane Sandy in New York, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and the 2015 Pakistan heat wave, for instance.
"After a while, you recognize these patterns resulting from climate change," says the longtime environmental activist. "People all over the world are going through this and alerting others to what's happening. The fact that it is happening everywhere now is one of the ways to raise the alarm, so we can solve it."
If "An Inconvenient Truth" was about raising awareness of global warming, Gore's follow-up film "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power," out Friday, is about galvanizing audiences to fight the environmental epidemic.
The feature-length documentary, filmed by San Francisco-based husband-and-wife directing team Jon Shenk and Bonni Cohen, follows Gore from the summer of 2015 through the presidential election of 2016, as he surveys extensive devastation caused by climate change — from the melting Greenland Ice Sheet to a flooded Miami — in between speaking engagements and meetings with policymakers about continuing environmental challenges.
"Over several decades, I have become increasingly aware that the beauty of the world is at risk, not to mention people — especially poor people — in every country," said Gore, recently in town to promote the film. "So when you go into a place like Tacloban, in the Philippines, and talk with survivors of that horrible climate-related event, it's quite emotional."
Gore says Californians aren't immune to the rise of surface temperature, as the state is regularly plagued by droughts and wildfires. Bay Area residents should note that San Mateo and Marin counties have seen a dangerous rise in sea levels and San Francisco, in February, was pounded by wet "microbursts."
"You're now getting these rain bombs, these huge downpours that result from the disruption of the historic weather patterns here," Gore says.
Yet the environmental crusader is heartened by the ever-growing number of U.S. politicians taking leadership on the issue: Gov. Jerry Brown recently extended California's cap-and-trade program, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto is taking his city carbon neutral, and even Georgetown, Texas, Mayor Dale Ross, a Republican, switched his town to 100-percent renewable energy.
That coupled with the rise of alternative energy companies, such as San Mateo-based SolarCity, gives Gore a sunnier outlook on the future.
"These extreme weather events have awakened people," Gore says, "and the access to the solutions, which are coming down in cost and spreading rapidly, make it attractive to change. The clarity and urgency that Bonni and Jon have put into 'An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,' have a real chance to add to the momentum and help solve this."

Recently, I needed to ensure that a user fill in one of two TextBox controls on a form I was designing. I couldn't use two RequiredFieldValidator controls as that would mandate that both fields be completed. I therefore created a CustomValidator control and added it to the page. It did not work. There was a flaw in my thinking. The control did not ever fire when needed (ie. when both fields are blank), because the control does not, by default, validate blank fields. Thankfully, there is a way to change this. You can set the ValidateEmptyText to true:
<asp:CustomValidator ID="myValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Error message" OnServerValidate="myValidator_ServerValidate ValidateEmptyText="true"></asp:CustomValidator>

Im relatively new to the internet business
Ian and Amy, a couple who build templates for sale on Flippa and teach others to build/sell templates, started it off with a post asking if Flippa is losing it. The post seems to have struck a chord with their readers and ended up becoming the blog's most popular post ever attracting a lot of commenting action in the bargain.
flipfilter from these forums and the flipfilter.com site then asks on his blog if this is the end of the honeymoon for Flippa. Honeymoon? Damn, was there a wedding?
I've just created a new article on the financing of web businesses.
The idea is to explore the myriad options now available for financing of online businesses. From crowdsourcing to microfinancing to P2P lending, innovations in platforms and delivery mechanisms make these exciting times indeed.

Introducing, The G Edit – keep reading to find out what it's all about…
So what is The G Edit? From the end of this week, gianniC will now be called The G Edit. You may all be thinking, why? Why change the name of your blog and completely rebrand yourself? Well let me tell you why. For a while now I've felt a little down about my blog and a lack of spark to it. This is heavily due to my university work and general life, but something must be done about this. I feel like bringing a new name to my blog and seriously improving the content I write is key.
There will be a lot more released about the change in due time.
I hope you can all join me on this transition, support me and share the word of the new name. Look forward to brand new content, brand new series of posts and so much more. I would be so grateful if you could share this change on social media, using my Twitter URL @gianni_C and the all new Twitter URL @TheGEditUK. It would mean so much for you to help me on this journey.
For all of those who comment, follow and support me… I love you guys!

Top Rated Smart Home Systems and Devices
Smart home systems are becoming more relevant in our everyday lives. The way we interact with everyday smart home devices and how they interact among themselves are fascinating… and this is happening with home control.
Our home is becoming smart, but what is exactly happening inside a smart house?
A TV automatically turns on and shows you traffic reports as you wake up each morning…
Your microwave starts heating your pre-made breakfast as you step-in the kitchen. Your smart toaster knows when you just finished a fresh shower bath so it starts toasting your tasty bread.
…Your cabinets and drawers notify you if your kids are accessing dangerous or off-limit areas.
Living room becomes smart and it knows when people are around or leave the area… and it automatically adjusts the HVAC temperature to help you save energy and money…
A camera that snaps series of pictures as soon as unexpected movements were detected. The door that sends you notification when family members or even pets come and go.
…A door automatically unlocks when you arrive and locks when you leave.
These are just few things that happen if you have a homesmart. Everything is designed to make your life easier. It is not complicated, and anyone can get your home automation today. But first, it is important better understand what a smart home set is, the technologies behind it, how it can enhance your lifestyle and more importantly save you money.
What Makes a Smart Home?
What was once a technology of tomorrow is in demand right now…
… Especially when it comes to making your home smarter.
Smart home or home automation provides homeowners an energy efficiency, comfort, convenience and security at whether you are around or not. The terminology "smart home" is more commonly used to define smart house system that have heating, lighting, air conditioning, appliances, computers, entertainment home theater system, TVs, camera systems and security that are capable of communicating with each other. They are also capable to be remotely accessed via time schedule from any room in your home or from any other location across the globe using your smartphone connected via the internet.
Smart home systems and devices are a part of IoT or Internet of Things which operate together regularly, sharing usage of consumer data among themselves and then systematizing actions based on your preferences. To sum it up, a smart house consists of wide range of technologies that work as one cohesive system in order to automate building function.
History of Smart Home Technology
Smart house products have been part of a long developmental trajectories that were built-off from existing infrastructures and technologies. For example, household appliances in 1920's such as the vacuum cleaner or automatic dish washer played similar roles as home automation – to save time, labor and increase efficiency. These conveniences paved way to a faster daily living because they freed up time to do more things within the day.
In addition to household appliances, different control technologies such as heating, cooling, and lighting have been around for a decades. These technologies utilized signals and sensors to control variables like temperature in a room. They used electric grid energies which were available in US homes by the 1920's.
Although these control technologies have been widely available for a century, the smart home devices are now being marketed for us individually as consumers, whereas before the building functions like heating or lights would be implemented into the house when it was constructed. But, with smart house devices, consumers can automate their home by simply clicking a button on their smartphone.
In 1975, a home automation communication protocol called X10 was released and the house smarts came to life. The X10 sends burst of digital info of 120 kHz RF onto the prevailing electrical wiring of a home to programmable switches or outlets. These signals then transfer commands to matching devices, controlling when and how they will operate. For example, a transmitter could send a signal through the electrical wiring of the house to tell a device to turn on at an exact time.
Nevertheless, electrical wirings were not designed to be free particularly from radio band noise, so X10 wasn't always totally reliable. There are times when signals got lost and there are also instances where signals would not even cross-circuits that were wired on dissimilar polarities.
The X10 technology was originally a one-way. So, even if smart devices can take-on commands yet they can't send back data to a central network.
In 2005, Insteon a home automation firm came on the scene and launched a technology combining electric wiring and wireless signals. Other protocol such as Z-Wave and Zigbee, have since developed to provide solutions to problems inclined to X10, though this technology still remains a widely used communication protocol to date.
In 2010, Nest Labs was established and introduced its very first smart product offering in 2011 named the Nest Learning Thermostat. The company also released security cameras as well as smart carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. In 2015, the company was acquired by Google and became Alphabet Inc.'s subsidiary on that same year.
In 2012, a company called SmartThings Inc. started a kick starter campaign to fund its project for a smart home system. The campaign successfully raised $12 million and by August 2013, the company was launched on the market and was acquired by Samsung the following year. More recently, several major companies like Google, Amazon and Apple have launched their very own smart home product offerings as well as smart home platforms such as Apple Home Kit, Google Home and Amazon Echo.
Besides the buildup of infrastructure such as the power grid, which was funded by Finance years like JP Morgan in the early 1900's, the development of communication and information technologies such as the internet, Bluetooth and the smartphone are key factors that led to and made possible the evolution of the smart home. Without these technologies, the development of the smart home would not have been made possible.
Smart Home Devices - Reviews and Buying Guides
How Does Smart Home Works?
Most newly constructed homes that built in place with smart home infrastructure. On the other hand, older homes can be retrofitted with the smart home technology. While numerous smart home systems are still running on Insteon or X10, other technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are growing more and more popular these days.
Two home automation communication protocols most commonly used today are Zigbee and Z-Wave. Both of these technologies are mesh network which use short range and low range radio signals to connect your smart home system. Both target similar home applications, the difference is that while Z-Wave has a 30 meters range, Zigbee's has 10 meters and is often observed as more complex. You can also avail Zigbee chips from several companies, while Z-Wave chips can only be purchased from Sigma Designs.
Smart homes are not contrasting appliances and smart devices, but they work together to produce a network that's remotely controllable. All your devices can be controlled by a central home automation controller or what is known as a smart home hub. A smart home hub is the hardware device that acts as your smart home controller and is able to process, sense data and also communicate wireless. All of these disparate apps are combined into one smart home app that you can remotely control. Some examples of a smart home hub are Insteon Hub Pro, Amazon Echo, Samsung Smart Things, Wink Hub and Google Home just to name a few.
Operation and Implementation
The smart thermostat works by learning behavior patterns and desired temperatures for certain days and times during the week to save energy. For example, the temperature of your house goes down at night while you are sleeping.
Also, you can set the desired temperature from your smartphone which connects to your house…
…Let's say on a cold winter day, it will be warm when you arrive home after a hard day's work.
The company Wink created an app that connects all your smart products. Through this app, you can control your home's lights, locks, blinds, climate, and so much more. The company describes themselves as open, affordable and easy because you can easily connect to different smart home brands and technologies, as well as have the ability to control a wide array of home functions using only one app directly from your smartphone.
Security is another very important factor in today's society. People fears that cyber-attacks on smart home technologies will occur. However, efficient security mechanisms are being developed and standardized to prevent this. In addition, wireless video cameras can be installed that can be directly connected to your phone for remote access and heightened security.
All of these technologies and devices work together to create a network that can effectively communicate between you, the user and the smart home. The smart home cannot be considered as one distinct technology but as a system, consisting of human interaction with different technologies that work in cohesion with one another.
The smart grid is a different type of power grid that uses two-way communication technologies, control systems and computer processing. It meshes well with smart home devices to reduce the number and duration of blackouts across the United States, as well as reduce energy and fossil fuel usage. But, the current lack of widely accepted standards, hinders this type of grid from being implemented.
The smart home hubs are described as a digital revolution because it is equipped with information technology which anticipates and responds to you and your family's needs. However, this is not too different from other seemingly revolutionary technologies, which all provide similar goals, to address conflicts or alignment values that fit the political, economic, cultural and environmental context.
Human values of security connection for operating routines and energy efficiency are instantly solidified in the built environment of the smart homes. Without the creation of systems such as the electrophorus, communication technologies and household appliances — smart homes would not be possible.
Creating your Own Smart Home
You can also create a smart home system from scratch using prototyping board like Raspberry Pi. There are also others that you can buy as a smart home kit bundle, more commonly known as smart home platforms, that include essential pieces to start your home automation project.
In a simple smart home scenario, you can time or trigger events. Timed events are centered on a clock, say for example, your blinds will be automatically lowered at 6:00 PM. Triggered events on the other hand will depend on actions in your automated system. For example, when your smartphone approaches your door, the smart lock will unlock and the smart lights will turn on.
AI or Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are growing in popularity in terms of smart home systems, which allow home automation apps to familiarize to their environments. Voice activated systems such as Google Home or Amazon for example come with virtual assistants that personalize and learn your patterns and preferences.
Benefits of Smart Home Technology
Providing you peace of mind is one of the most hyped benefits of having a smart home. It allows you to monitor your home remotely, countering dangers like when you left your coffee maker on or your front door unlocked. Elderly people will also benefit greatly from smart homes by providing monitoring that will be able to help them remain safely and comfortably at home instead of moving them to nursing homes.
Managing your home devices has never been easy and more convenient than ever. All of your home's technology are kept connected via a single interface, which is a giant step forward for home management and technology. Ideally, all you need to do is to learn how to use the app on your tablet and smartphone, and you will be opening a world of endless devices and functions throughout your home. The learning curve of new users are cut down, making it easier for you to access functionality you only want for your home.
Smart house design is flexible in terms of accommodating new appliances and devices as well as all other technology. Even if you have the most current state-of-the-art appliances, newer models that are more impressive will be developed sooner or later. So you will probably add that to your collection of devices as you may want to replace older ones or discover newer technology to go with your outdoor and indoor spaces. With the smart home system, you will be able to integrate these new additions seamlessly making your job so much easier and it also lets you to keep on upgrading to the hottest lifestyle technologies.
Furthermore, you will be able to maximize your home's security by incorporating the surveillance and security features of the smart home system. There are plenty of options for you, but currently only a handful are being explored. For example, your smart home network can be connected with surveillance cameras, motion detectors, automated door lock and any other concrete security measure all over your home so you can activate all of them in a single mobile device before you go to bed. Aside from this, you also have an option to receive security warnings on your different devices. Depending on your preferred time of the day, an alert will go off and you can monitor any activities in real-time, wherever you are in the world.
Your appliances' functionality will be improved as well. For example, a Smart TV can help you find better channels and apps to locate programs that you favor. A smart oven will be able to assist you with cooking your dishes to perfection without the need to worry about under-cooking or overcooking them. An audio system and home theater that's intelligently designed makes managing your music and movie collection effortless when you're entertaining guests. Eventually, connecting your appliances with automation technology will not just improve their effectiveness, but overall, it will make your life at home so much easier and pleasurable.
Additionally, home automation can also help you improve efficiency. Instead of leaving your air-conditioning on the whole day, your smart home system can learn your activities and ensure that your house is cooled down by the time you're home from a tiring day at work. This goes the same with your appliances as well. Plus, a smart home irrigation, your home's lawn will be watered only when required and with just the right amount of water needed. Water, energy and other resources in your home are used more efficiently with home automation, helping you save both money and natural resources.
Disadvantages of Smart Home Technologies
Despite how prominent a technology is, there will often have some disadvantages to it as well. The smart home technology has been struggling to make it mainstream, part of the reason for this is because of their technical aspect.
One of the main home automation system drawback is the perceived complexity. In addition, some homeowners have trouble with its technology or will just simply give-up on the system when they get annoyed. Smart home system alliances and manufacturers are working diligently to reduce its complexity and make user experience more convenient and at the same time enjoyable for homeowners of all technical levels.
If we want to see this amazing smart home technology to be really effective:
- Devices must be inter-operable regardless of the manufacturing company ecosystem.
- Use similar protocols or complementary solutions at the minimum.
As the market for it is very promising, a gold standard for the technology is yet to be set. Nevertheless, standard associations are working on partnering with several protocols and manufacturers to make sure that user-experience will be seamless.
Home security is another major issue that home automation is facing. According to a report of the NTT Data Corporation in 2016, around 80% of United States consumers are worried about the aspect of home security of the data of their smart homes. Once a smart device is infiltrated by a hacker, he could possibly turn off all the alarms and lights as well as unlock doors, leaving your home defenseless to any break-in. Moreover, there's also a chance for a hacker to gain access to your network, which can potentially lead to data ex-filtration or worse attacks. In fact, in October of 2016, parts of the internet were brought down in a sequence of DDoS or Denial of Service distributed by the Mirai IoT bot net, using poorly secured routers, DVRs and cameras as its entry points.
Aside from security, data privacy is also a concern by a lot of smart home adversaries. According to the report of NTT Data, about 73% of consumers are worried about the privacy of data being shared by their smart devices. While manufacturers and platforms of the smart home technology may gather your data to better suit their products to your needs or offer improved and newer services, transparency and trust are vital to companies shaping up the trust with the users of their products.
Security Risks in the Age of Smart Homes
By integrating together various devices, the smart home technology offers the promise of control over your home security and enhanced energy efficiency as well. However, it is not free from security threats as well. A home automation system can leave homeowners vulnerable to serious risks like theft, blackmail, extortion and arson. Currently, research is focusing more on individual smart devices and the way they communicate. But, there is little research being done on what will happen once these smart devices are combined with coordinated system. On an independent test done, the two main vulnerability categories of the technology are insecure messaging and excessive privileges.
Smart Apps
Smart apps come with administrative privileges on your device like switching your smart oven On/Off or Unlocking/Locking your smart door. The idea is similar to smartphone apps wherein it will require user-access permissions for example acquiring your current geo-location or access of your video camera.
It interacts with similar smart devices thru communication protocols that is similar to how humans talk to each other. Smart devices can send messages containing sensitive data, such as your PIN code for opening a specific lock. A smart app can obtain substantial amount of sensitive information coming from different sources. Let' say a basic app was designed to only monitor your door lock's battery level may also be able to obtain sensitive info such as its PIN code.
Furthermore, earlier home automation systems come with some serious failures, and in the last couple of years have come back. Since manufacturers of the technology have been focusing more on the innovation and getting their smart products on the market, rather than keeping up with the current cyber protection and security developments. Sometimes, these companies even neglect the basics in order to keep their smart products safe, that's why it became easier for people to hack them.
A security analyst, Synack, tested some of these smart devices for cyber security and was able to successfully hack into 15 out of the 16 they tested in less than 30 minutes. Considering the fact that some of these devices may have included garage doors, water pumps and security cameras, it is easy to see how these weaknesses pose physical risks to homeowners.
These smart devices are highly available on the market today. It is very important for you to be very careful about which ones to consider purchasing to ensure risks are minimized.
Currently, the main worries for homeowners are cyber crooks obtaining personal information such as payment details and messing around with home automation systems. It is not safe from any kind of attacks especially these devices are joining the bandwagon in the Internet of Things.
Improvements of Cyber Security
Smart home security flaws have been exposed by a lot of security experts. And this is a great motivation for companies and manufacturers to invest in improving the security measures of their smart products.
Buyers of smart homes should be hand in hand in encouraging this trend by buying products only from manufacturers making the much-needed effort to keep their systems free from attacks. Two-factor authentication, strong encryption and other security protocols is crucial as the industry kept growing.
The next sensible step in making your smart home secure and safer is smart security to analyze patterns and alert homeowners when any glitches are detected, thus illicit activities will be easier to spot.
Future of Smart Home Technology
Over the past years, there has been more concern over the pollution of fossil fuels, which are our main source of energy to power our homes. The need for alternate energy sources like solar or wind power has become more prevalent in today's society. Therefore, the smart home exhibits the idea that invention is the mother of necessity by creating technologies that utilize fossil fuels for energy. We run into the dilemma that these fossil fuels might run out. Thus, the smart home aims to use greener energy sources as well as less energy in general through data analysis of utilities and home appliances.
People today are becoming more and more about the environment and increasing carbon dioxide emissions which lead to global warming. Research is being done to help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced. One of the best ways to do this is by reducing energy usage. The smart home will help to achieve this by for example, keeping the lights off and temperature cooler throughout the night while people while people are sleeping.
In the future, you will be able to depend more on your own home to regulate the environment for you, based on your own needs and wants as well as the capabilities of the smart appliances you use to learn and understand about your preferences and habits. The smart home technology and home automation system are predicted to become one of the biggest consumer trends, with a revenue set to go up four times to around $65 million by the year 2020.
Smart home applications and devices should not just make your life safer and easier. It is vital for them to make your living environments more efficient and healthier as well.
How Much Does a Smart Home Cost?
A smart home could have a massive impact in your life. Not only can the system provide you plenty of free time to enjoy and spend somewhere else, but it can also help regulate your everyday routine so you are not weighed down of losing track of what needs to be accomplished in your home. But exactly how expensive is it to automate your home?
For many of us, cost is the biggest issue. Who would not want minor things in our everyday lives improved and automated? That's an offer most of would not turn down, as long as we can afford it, of course. Fortunately, the cost of converting your home into a smart home doesn't have to bend your wallet, as long as you're also smart about it.
Here's a breakdown of what a typical homeowner would most likely use:
Smart Lighting
Beginners to smart home systems usually stats with lighting since it is the least risky and easiest to modify. The two functions of smart lighting include energy efficiency and automated relative lighting. A Philips Hue starter pack for instance is cost under $90 and is very user-friendly and rich with lighting features. It already comes with a bridge as its central controller as well as four bulbs to replace your 60-watt traditional bulbs. You can buy extra bulbs for $60. Using your Hue mobile app for Android and iOS, you can control around 50 bulbs in a single system support from anywhere around the world.
You also have a choice to smarten up the current lights in your home rather than installing new equipment by opting for something like a WeMo Switch Smart Plug which will cost you around $30, not including the installation fee of your technician.
Smart Climate Control
An average home uses around 40-60% of energy to regulating its temperature. And keeping your home warm during winter and cool during summer can cost you a lot. You can drop a little money and save plenty on energy costs in the long run with energy hacks of a smart home. One of the most popular smart climate control in the market today is Nest Learning Thermostat. Installing this will automate the temperature of your home while maximizing comfort and cutting down your energy costs. When you're away it'll turn itself off and you can control it manually by touching it or by connecting it to your Wi-Fi.
If you do not have a centralized climate control, an alternative is the Aros Smart Air Conditioner for $465. It can track all types of data like usage, location, schedule and even your budget. It will also accordingly alter its behavior; hence cooling costs are lowered.
Smart Security
Enhancing your home with a smart security will not just increase its safety but it is also for your peace of mind. Keep in mind though that any security device will not be able to provide you with 100% protection, but everything does add up. For example, August Smart Lock which costs $229.99, may not provide you more protection compared to a regular lock, but it is very convenient to manage and use. You can access lock using any smartphone as long as you give permission, which you can also revoke. The smart device can sense when you're approaching and unlocks. When you leave your home, it will lock again. It is designed brilliantly and yet deceptively simple.
Final Costs
If you will combine the smart security, lighting and climate control, the cost will all add up to around $1,400. To give you an overview of what you can save, here's the average home renovation cost in the US:
- Remodeling of bathroom will set you back $9,000 – $14,000
- Lawn regarding costs around $700 – $2,000
- Replacing warm air furnace cost is $2.500 – $4,800
- Septic system replacement will slash your budget of $4,000 – $6,000
- Replacing each of your windows can cost $350 – $700
Converting your home into a smart home is not that expensive at all. Even if you will opt for luxurious smart devices, the cost will roughly be just $3,700.
New and emerging technologies such as smart homes are challenged with significant investments particular to time and money. Manufacturers of smart products are ramping up their offerings hoping that the smart home technology will one day hit the mainstream.
There's a huge probability for this new market to hit the trend thanks to artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, robotics & droids, quantum & parallel computing, computer vision, wearable tech, virtual reality, augmented reality, natural interfaces, machine learning, 3D printing, mixed reality and internet of things (IoT).
Video: Jetson – The Family of the Future
But, achieving a home like The Jetsons may still be decades off. Even with numerous technological advances we still lack gold standards for the automation of these devices. Without such standards plenty of consumers are doubtful whether their expenditures on these gadgets might become obsolete in a matter of short periods.
By 2022, smart home technology is predicted to have a market revenue of $53.45 billion.
Its appeal is very clear. We will have more automation and control with our homes. It will grant us the chance to make better decisions and improve usage of our limited resources.
The smart home technology concept is appealing. Unfortunately, security threats such as privacy intrusion and hacking are major challenges for this new technology. Until they are addressed with a sound solution then this technology will still face deep challenges before truly reaching its full potential growth.

Apple Store
The Apple Core is an Apple product resell store and computer repair shop in Sarasota. Owner Nicholas Nimey has seen a significant uptick in business since the Apple Store opened in the Mall at University Town Center in October. Read more about Nimey in next week's Business Weekly.
Take a virtual tutorial with Nimey in this week's What's In Store video series.
For more shopping news in Southwest Florida, follow reporter Justine Griffin on Twitter and Facebook or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Read What's In Store in print on Tuesdays.
Apple will open a store inside the Mall at University Town Center, Sarasota County building permits show.
The Herald-Tribune first reported that Apple would open its first store in Southwest Florida in November, when the company listed Sarasota as one of the 23 sites for stores in the Florida market on its jobs website.
This is the first Apple Store to open in Florida since 2008. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company now operates 16 stores in Florida and more than 300 worldwide. In 2013, Apple has opened 23 new stores, 19 of them outside the U.S.
This is not the first time Apple, which is known for being very selective when it comes to opening new retail stores, has shown an interest in Southwest Florida. In 2011, Westfield Group's Southgate Mall was courting Apple and developing plans to open a store there that same year. Those plans never came to fruition.
The nearest Apple Store to the region is at International Plaza in Tampa, another Taubman Centers' property, Westfield's Brandon Town Center and at Coconut Point Mall near Fort Myers, a center owned by Simon Property Group.
To see a slideshow of mall tenants, click here.
The iPhone and iPad maker will join a slew of other national tenants at the $315 million retail project, being built at University Parkway and Interstate 75. Other mall tentants include lululemon, Pottery Barn, an Omega watch boutique, Brooks Brothers and others. The 880,00-square-foot mall is set to open on Oct. 16.

Got encryption? Try AES Crypt
You know you need encryption to protect sensitive information whether you travel, upload sensitive files to the cloud, or just want to feel secure knowing that your data is accessible only to you; I won't belabor the point. What I will do is talk about AES Crypt, advanced file encryption software for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Java. AES Crypt uses the industry standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to easily and securely encrypt files:
Using a powerful 256-bit encryption algorithm, AES Crypt can safely secure your most sensitive files. Once a file is encrypted, you do not have to worry about a person reading your sensitive information, as an encrypted file is completely useless without the password. It simply cannot be read.
Steve Gibson uses AES Crypt and had this to say about it in Security Now! Episode 356:
This is simply a utility to give end users access to AES 256-bit file encryption. So it's just a – it's as simple as you use this in the same way that you use ZIP to zip up a bunch of files, you use this to encrypt a file. It asks you for a password. And that password is hashed and then used as the key for the encryption. And no force on Earth, as far as we know, if you use a strong password, is able to decrypt it. So it's absolutely bulletproof.
If you don' already have it on your system, the installation routine will install Microsoft Visual C++2010 Redistributable. Installation is quick and does not require a reboot. The program has a context menu entry so you can simply right click on a file and select "AES Encrypt." Enter your password (be sure it's a strong one) and the program creates a new, encrypted file with a .aes extension.
One big advantage is that AES Crypt's file format is also published so other applications can utilize it. In fact, Duplicati, an Amazon S3 front end that I will cover in a future post, bundles the file format into their back end so the files that Duplicati stores at Amazon are AES Crypt compatible encrypted.

Temperatures in Taipei reached a new summer high, climbing to 38.3°C yesterday, the Central Weather Bureau said.
The bureau said the high occurred at 11:38am and it was the fourth-hottest day in the city's recorded history. The highest temperature ever recorded was 38.6°C — occurring in 1921, 2004 and 2010.
The highest temperature in Taiwan was recorded in Taitung County on May 9, 2004, when the mercury hit 40.2°C during a foehn wind.
The new record came only a day after the capital saw a high of 37.6°C on Monday.
Aside from Taipei, highs reached 33.9°C in Chiayi, 33.2°C in Greater Kaohsiung and 33.4°C in Yilan County.
The bureau's temperature distribution map also showed that, except for the Central Mountain Range, the entire nation had day-time temperature readings exceeding 30°C.
Bureau forecaster Lin Pin-yu (林秉煜) said people in northern Taiwan are set to continue experiencing high temperatures until Friday.
Lin said that the chances of afternoon showers would be high in the northern, northeastern and central regions over the weekend, which could help drive down temperatures.
Meanwhile, the bureau forecast that mountainous areas would experience thundershowers today. Starting on Friday, chances of showers will also be high in southern Taiwan.
In related news, the Council of Labor Affairs dismissed media reports that the nation was considering giving workers a day off if it is struck by a heat wave.
Fu Huan-jan (傅還然), head of the Department of Labor Safety and Health, said guidelines regulating the work schedule for laborers working in high temperatures already exist.
Employers violating the guidelines could face a penalty of up to NT$150,000, he said.
Fu added that the council had indeed talked with the bureau and other government agencies last year about how to effectively prevent laborers suffering heat stroke.
However, he said the measures would not be executed by giving workers a day off when the nation is experiencing a heat wave.

We are launching a new Legislative program to help us further our influence and relationships with Legislators. We are asking you to complete the "Key Contact" form and return it soon.
IAHU Key Contacts are members who either currently have, or are willing to develop relationships with members of the Idaho Legislature. They may be called upon to assist in the delivery of PAC contributions, or to make contact with their lawmakers during the legislative session. While most Key Contacts live in the district of the lawmaker they cover, it is possible to serve as a Key Contact for a lawmaker from another district if a previous relationship exists.
Thank you in advance for taking part in our new "Key Contact" program to help make sure our message is heard.

It's a big, snappy sound that lives up to the raucous live sets the band has delivered on stage with bands like Titus Andronicus, Here We Go Magic, The So So Glos, Givers and We Were Promised Jetpacks. The End of Everything picks up where the sound of DC in the 1990s left off and ventures into uncharted pop territory.

I have always liked flipping through yellow, moth eaten pages; the ones you have to be very careful with, lest they tear or break away from the parent book.
Background to the post:
Today, one of my best friends, a master chef in the making, had a luncheon at his place. We discussed Bridgestone tyres, Michael Schumacher, the JNNURM buses, the idiosyncrasies of an old lady wanting to stay young, auntie's obsession with the current Delhi Belly jingle and almost every other weird topic that you can think of. The discussion moved to my current fascination, the devadasis in the Indian temples; during which I discovered that uncle, who was a connoisseur of art in all forms, especially dance, had researched on the maharis and devadasis and had an article to his credit. This got me into a flurried frenzy of rummaging through his room, which housed his belongings in the exact position as it used to be, before he left for his heavenly abode.
Coming back to the post, I discovered archaic letters and diaries stacked neatly, albeit with a layer of dust, in one of the cupboards, slightly cracked with a sliding glass door. Those were his personal musings and letters to his loving wife, which I deemed best to keep away. However, scrawled on one of his picture memoirs, was a verse which read Dec'94 and left me rooted to the ground for a while. I believe he was a man of innate sensitivity and profundity. I would also like to believe that the verse if shared with a wider audience, will fulfill its purpose of having been penned down. It goes it this manner: "One can fathom the true beauty of life, only when lived alone. If you share your life with someone, you can only experience half the world. However, if you do not, the whole world in its entirety belongs to you".
Vivid flashes of the times spent with him, came back to me, with an urgency, I cannot explain. Needless to say, the feeling of just respect, will be an understatement.
Methodical rows of recorded cassettes graced the sides of the bed. Long playing (LP) phonograph records heightened the creative essence, so prevalent in the space around. Books on various dance forms lined the shelves, almost screaming out to be felt and read and understood. An invitation card for the opening of Nrityagram, the dance school by Protima Bedi, fell out from one of the hard bound books. As I went through the cursive text, I wondered what his thoughts would have been, while reading the same.
A gifted creative soul does not single out one passion in life and hence the multiple engagements he kept himself busy with. The genre moved to books on photography and various international journals on music as well. Various musical instrumentals, enveloped in dusty black bags, laced the corners of the room and bed too. On opening another antiquated trunk, I discovered piles of books, ranging from Animal Farm to Osho's Golden Nuggets and The Autobiography of Jimi Hendrix to that of Beatles.
What perhaps will always remain with me, however, is a book by the name of Gitanjali. This wasn't the one written by Tagore. The anthology of poems was written by an adolescent cancer patient, who has described the beauty of life, as she fathomed, through the window of her hospital room. She passed away soon after. A gift to his wife on their first anniversary, the message reading…May your life be as beautiful as these poems, in mirth and in sorrow! I was choked and almost in tears. I can best put into words, my feelings through William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence" :
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour

Jeremiah 22 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
Warning to David's Heirs
22 Thus said Adonai: "Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and speak this word:
2 'Hear the word of Adonai, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you, your servants, and your people who enter by these gates.' 3 Thus says Adonai: 'Execute justice and righteousness. Rescue the one who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the fatherless or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you really carry out this word, then through the gates of this palace will enter kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses—himself, his servants, and his people. 5 But if you will not obey these words, I swear by Myself,' declares Adonai, 'that this palace will become a ruin.'"
6 For thus says Adonai concerning the house of the king of Judah:
"You are Gilead to Me—
8 Many nations will pass by this city, and they will say, each to his neighbor, 'Why has Adonai done such a thing to this great city?' 9 Then they will answer: 'Because they abandoned the covenant of Adonai their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.'"
10 Weep not for the dead or bemoan him.
11 For thus says Adonai to Shallum, son of King Josiah of Judah, who became king in place of his father Josiah: "He who went forth from this place will never return there. 12 Instead, in the place where they led him captive, there will he die—he will see this land no more."
13 Oy to him who builds his house by unrighteousness,
18 Therefore thus says Adonai about Jehoiakim son of King Josiah of Judah:
"They will not lament for him,
24 "As I live," declares Adonai, "even if Coniah son of King Jehoiakim of Judah were a signet ring on My right hand, yet I would pull you off, 25 and give you over into the hand of those seeking your life, yes, into the hand of those whom you dread, even into the hand of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 So I will cast you out, with your mother who bore you, into another country where you were not born—and there will you die. 27 But as for the land where they long to return, they will never return there."
28 Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered pot—
