The further adventures of Thomas Edison, asshat
Maggie Koerth 9:30 am Mon Sep 27, 2010
Say you were curious about what happened when a human brain came into prolonged contact with a strong magnetic field. To find an answer, you might learn more about the nature of magnetism and the biology of the brain and make some hypotheses. Later, you'd run some experiments using dead tissue, or perhaps live animal models. This is because you are a good person.
If you were Thomas Edison, on the other hand, you'd find the nearest street urchin and keep him inside a giant electromagnet. It's OK, though, science writers would later say, because there turned out not to be much of an effect, and, anyway, the boy liked it.
Many years ago, Mr. Thomas Edison made the following interesting experiment in his laboratory. Wishing to see what, if any, influence is produced by the passage of strong magnetic flux through the brain, he kept a boy for a long time inside a huge electro-magnet with his head placed between the poles so that the flux passed directly through his brain. If now a magnet is capable of producing any effect whatever on the body it should certainly have done it in this case. But as far as could be seen no effect whatever was felt by the boy. When asked privately how he felt he replied confidentially, "The experiment is bully. I am all right in the magnet. I like to be here for I do not have to work while the experiment is going on and I can take a nap occasionally. But don't tell Mr. Edison. I hope he will keep me here for a long time."

The History of the Gin and Tonic
Moss And Fog April 20, 2021 5 Comments
The gin and tonic is one of the classic cocktails of the world, available almost anywhere, and inevitably one of the most refreshing.
It has a fascinating history, spanning time, countries, and even the world of medicine and health. Alton Brown gives us a brief history of one of the world's most popular cocktails. We've included some historical references to gin, just for added flavor.
As per Wikipedia's description:
The cocktail was introduced by the army of the British East India Company in India. In India and other tropical regions, malaria was a persistent problem. In the 1700s, Scottish doctor George Cleghorn studied how quinine, a traditional cure for malaria, could be used to prevent the disease. The quinine was drunk in tonic water but the bitter taste was unpleasant. British officers in India in the early 19th century took to adding a mixture of water, sugar, lime and gin to the quinine in order to make the drink more palatable, thus gin and tonic was born. Soldiers in India were already given a gin ration, and the sweet concoction made sense. Since it is no longer used as an antimalarial, tonic water today contains much less quinine, is usually sweetened, and is consequently much less bitter.

I too found Tanqueray in the 70s.I was a medic in an Air Force Clinic in Izmir, Turkey. It's still my go-to gin today after 44 years.
Timothy L. O'Neil April 26, 2021 at 9:30 am
I too found gin (Tanqueray) in Vazagaputnam India in 70's. I was an engineering officer aboard the SS Green Harbor Victory and was put up in the Sun and Sea Hotel after a crack was found in vessel's hull. The influx of water into the cargo hole containing fish meal caused a foul ammonia odor throughout the vessel.

The flag of Poznań is a rectangular piece of white material with the coat of arms of the city placed in the middle. It was adopted in 1997.

The coat of arms of Poznań consists of white (not silver) city walls with three towers. On the left (heraldic) tower stands Saint Peter with a key and on the heraldic right one stands Saint Paul with a sword. In the gate there are two golden crossed keys with a cross above. Over the middle tower, which contains a single window and is topped by a battlement, there is a gothic shield with a white eagle in crown. On the sides of the two saints there are golden crescents and stars. All of those elements are on a blue field. Over the shield there is golden crown.

Q: Real life elastic collision and variation of kinetic energy How small should $\Delta T$ be in a collision to be considered elastic? In elastic collisions $\Delta T =0$, but as far as I know, just atomic collisions are considered perfectly elastic. Then, which criterias are used to considere a collision between two objects elastic?

A: As with so many other things this is about precision, scale of effects, and what you need to model.
Physicists treat real-world events with theories that they don't exactly qualify for all the time. The trick is knowing when to do it. And the short version is when the failure to qualify is too small to matter to the way you are going to use the results.
Let's say you are trying to predict impact-parameter vs. opening angle relationship for a moving on still air-hockey puck collision. If you expect the energy loss (transfer to non-kinetic channels) to be less than one percent (not entirely unreasonable) but your velocity measurements are coarser than 1% you simply can't detect the failure or elasticity without examining a statistical sample anyway. You can ignore the fact that the system isn't really elastic.
On the other hand, if you are looking at, say, a Newton's cradle arrangement and want to ask how it behaves on a time scale of minutes, then the say order of 1% energy loss matters to you. You treat the collisions as slightly as inelastic and that lets you model the decay of the amplitude of the swing.

A: A collision is considered to be elastic if both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved. Thus:
$$m_{1i} v_{1i} + m_{2i} v_{2i}=m_{1f} v_{1f} + m_{2f} v_{2f}$$ and $$\frac 12 m_{1i} v_{1i}^2 + \frac 12 m_{2i} v_{2i}^2=\frac 12 m_{1f} v_{1f} + \frac 12 m_{2f} v_{2f}$$
There's practically no collision that's truly perfectly elastic in the real world, and the third law of thermodynamics confirms that (no system can be 100% efficient), but physicists find it more convenient to approximate things that otherwise won't qualify into a definition of a process. All collisions in the macroscopic world are approximations to an elastic collision, and even at the atomic scale, collisions are still not perfectly elastic, but they're close as we can possibly get. To know when to consider a collision approximately elastic in the real and macroscopic world, you've got to have a huge portion of the system's kinetic energy intact at the end of the process, like the collision of two tennis balls can be said to be approximately elastic.

Stateless Shona Community Demand For Citizenship
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says at least 10 million people globally are stateless, and approximately 18,000 of them live in Kenya. In August, 2019, Kenya formed a taskforce to help end statelessness in the country by 2024. The struggles by the Shona, who have lived in Kenya since 1962, provides insight on challenges faced by stateless people.

On October 14th and 15th, 2020, members of the Shona community in Kenya presented petitions to the Kiambu County Assembly and the National Assembly respectively. They were protesting the delay to grant them Kenyan citizenship.
The Shonas have lived as stateless people in Kenya since 1962. They are descendants of the first followers of the itinerant Shona missionary Johane Masowe. He founded the Gospel of God Church in Zimbabwe in the 1930s.
Ten years before his death in Zambia in 1973, he instructed his followers to travel north to the "promised land" in Nairobi. That is where they would find a stone bearing inscriptions of the moon and stars, and settle there.
Nairobi Military Stone sits at the intersection of Koinange Street and Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi. It was erected in 1939. Johane Masowe instructed his followers to trace and settle around it. Picture: Courtesy
In July, 2009 the AFP News Agency spoke with an elder of the church who explained that the Galton-Fenzi Memorial monument commonly known as the Nairobi Military Stone was the landmark Masowe mentioned to his followers. The stone which sits at the intersection of Koinange Street and Kenyatta Avenue was erected in 1939.
It is from this stone that distances from Nairobi to the rest of Kenya are measured in miles. Engraved on the stone are distances to local and regional towns and cities.
A new study by the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), titled African Missionaries in Identity Limbo, reveals 16 pilgrims and their families arrived in Kenya in 1962 and spread the sect. Now it is headquartered in Nairobi.
Support from Kiambu County Assembly
The descendants of the pilgrims have increased to around 5,000 people. They cannot return to modern day Zimbabwe because they claim they have no links there.
They speak Swahili, Kikuyu and Shona and mostly live around Kiambu County. In March, 2019, the County Assembly of Kiambu formally passed a motion asking President Uhuru Kenyatta's government to recognize them as Kenya's 44th tribe.
"That process is now with the [national] government and I am informed it is being fast tracked. Once it is done, they will achieve official status of being citizens," said Stephen Ndichu, Speaker of the Kiambu County Assembly.
James Nyoro, the governor of Kiambu County told the Star Newspaper on October 14 that he supports recognition of the Shona.
"I agree and support that they should be given identity cards just like the 4,000 Makonde community members were recognised .They have contributed a lot to the country," he said.
According to Samuel Kimani, a Member of the County Assembly, Kinoo Ward, 85 per cent of the Kenyan Shonas are spread across Kinoo, Muguga, Gitaru and Githurai Wards.
Police harassment
"The Shonas have lived undignified lives and experience numerous challenges. This is due to the lack of legal identity documents such as birth certificates, identity cards or passports," he said.
"This has exposed them to human rights violations like police harassment; impedes on their freedom of movement, and lack of access to government and private services. Further, they cannot register a business or enter the formal job market, own property, access education, healthcare, financial services, and relief supplies among others," said Kimani.
He says the Shona children are only able to go through the Kenyan education system through informal adoption by Kenyans.
Kenyan well-wishers register them as their own children to access birth certificates, which are mandatory to access education and health care.
In 2019, the UNHCR published the 2019 Shona Socio-Economic Assessment Survey comparing the economic status of Shona households in Nairobi and Kiambu with that of Kenyan citizens.
Poverty levels
The study shows stateless people are much poorer than citizens. The majority of Shona adults earn their living through weaving, carpentry and casual jobs.
"In Nairobi, almost three times as many Shona people are poor compared to their national counterparts. 49% of the Shona people are poorer compared to 17% of Kenyan citizens," the study says.
"In Kiambu, more than twice as many Shona people are poor compared to the national population (56% compared to 24%)," it adds.
Although a profiling exercise still has to be conducted, the UNHCR estimates that approximately 18,000 people in Kenya are stateless. They include people from Pemba and those of Burundian, Congolese, Indian and Rwandese descent.
A stateless person is any person who is not considered as a national by any state through its nationality legislation or constitution. According to UNHCR, that adds up to approximately 12 million people around the world.
Section 15 of the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011 explains how a stateless person living in Kenya can apply for citizenship.
"A person who does not have an enforceable claim to the citizenship of any recognized state and has been living in Kenya for a continuous period since 12th December, 1963, shall be deemed to have been lawfully resident and may, on application, in the prescribed manner be eligible to be registered as a citizen of Kenya," the Act says.
However, that person must have adequate knowledge of Kiswahili or a local dialect. The person must not have been convicted of an offence and sentenced to imprisonment for a term of three years or longer.
Upon registration as a citizen, they must intend to continue to permanently reside in Kenya or to maintain a close and continuing association with Kenya. Lastly, they must understand the rights and duties of a citizen.
Applications are made to the Department of Immigration through the eCitizen portal. Most Shona people in Kenya would tick all of the boxes, but they are still denied citizenship because a lengthy verification process is needed.
They came close to it last year when the Government issued 597 Shona children with birth certificates to enable them go to school.
Intermarriage with Kenyans
For the rest, intermarriages with Kenyans is a more direct ticket to citizenship but it is rare. According to a KHRC report, only 50 Shonas have intermarried with Kenyans.
Oliver Muregerera, the Secretary-General of the Shona community in Kenya, says they should not have to take that route.
"Our parents left Southern Rhodesia before Zimbabwe was born. They arrived here before Kenya became independent. We have lived here ever since and have gelled warmly with the rest of Kenyans. We deserve to be citizens," he says.
On August, 23, 2019, the Kenyan government established a National Taskforce for the Identification and Registration of Eligible Stateless Persons as Kenyan Citizens.
The taskforce has a mandate of one year to develop vetting, verification and eligibility criteria for stateless persons.
It will also identify emerging international best practices in the management of stateless persons in the context of national security.
The move is hoped to help Kenya beat the UN goal to end statelessness by 2024. It is not clear how far the taskforce has gone since the one year mandate ended in August 2020.

As many of you know, I'm a passionate dog-lover. I believe strongly in the dog/human bond and that's why it's inconceivable to me that some people abuse these wonderful animals. Puppy mills are a form of abuse. If you have any doubts, read the story of the little puppy mill rescue dog that inspired Hops & Harley.
Five years ago, the first Hops & Harley occurred in the taproom of City Star Brewing in Berthoud. Today, the event is held at Fickel Park and has grown into a festival that attracts dog and beer lovers from around the country; after all, Harley, who passed away last year, is quite famous. His work as a spokesdog against puppy mills eventually resulted in him becoming the 2015 American Hero Dog.
City Star Brewing is the host of Hops & Harley and 100 percent of the proceeds from the event go to Harley's Dream, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and educating the public about the commercial dog breeding industry (aka puppy mills).
While puppy mill tales are sad, Hops & Harley is a celebration. This year's event features live music from Bonnie & the Clydes and Woodbelly Bluegrass Band. Food trucks will be in attendance, along with activities for children and for dogs. In addition, attendees will enjoy a photo booth, doggy doppelgänger contest, Painting & Pints, and they'll have a chance to learn about puppy mills.
Of course, no Hops & Harley is complete without beer. City Star will be pouring a variety of their craft beers including Harley's Wheat, and a personal favorite of mine, Spirit Hound Distillers from Lyons, will provide cocktails.
Hops & Harley is kid-friendly, dog-friendly and free, so pack up the entire family and head to Berthoud on Saturday, June 24.

What happens when you try to double cross the tooth fairy? Marc Ngui's follow-up to his popular and critically acclaimed book Enter Avariz answers this question with an intricately crosshatched cartoon conflation of childhood fears in a morally ambiguous suburban fable. Told with wicked delight and dark humour in the tradition of Roald Dahl, Edward Gorey, or Tim Burton, Toronto native Marc Ngui has created a graphic novel with all the ghoulish verve of a classic unexpurgated fairytale.


Manchester City's new logo has been spotted by the Citizens well ahead of its official release, on a government website.
The Manchester club decided to redesign the club crest earlier this year, after giving supporters the opportunity to voice their opinions on the current design and whether they wanted something a little more modern.
The current badge – featuring an eagle and three purely decorative stars – has been in use since 1997.
The Blues were set for a big reveal on Boxing Day, after posting cryptic messages around Manchester over the last few days.
But the more eagle-eyed of the online community have spotted the brand new design on the UK government's Intellectual Property Office website, where Manchester City have applied for a trademark.

Q: Creating a DataTable From a Linq Query in my C# Windows form Creating a DataTable From a Linq Query
I use Ling to show my data on dataGridview and I have linq search funtion to search poeple. It's workin fine but not as Datatable do. I have to write the hole name before my serch function shoe me the name. I want to create Creat a DataTable From a Linq Query but I donät know how to do it.
Here is my code:
public void SerachdataEmp(string name)
{
    db = new EmployeeEntity();
    var result = (from u in db.Employee
    join d in db.Department on u.DepartmentId equals d.DepartmentId
    where u.FirstName == name
    select new
    {
       FirstName = u.FirstName,
       LastName = u.LastNameName,
       DepartmentName = d.DepartmentName
    }
}).Tolist();
dataGridView1.DataSource = result;

I tried like this
(from u in db.Employee.AsEnumerable()
 join d in db.Department.AsEnumerable() on u.DepartmentId equals d.DepartmentId
 where u.FirstName == searchEmployee

but then I don't know how to do. Thank you in advance!

A: instead use query.ToList();
use
 query.CopyToDataTable();

A: I don't recommend this, and I don't believe your search issue is with not using a DataTable, but using these extensions you can convert your query answer into a DataTable - just put ToDataTable() in place of ToList().
public static class ExtensionMethods {
    // ***
    // *** IEnumerable<> Extensions
    // ***
    public static DataTable ToDataTable<T>(this IEnumerable<T> rows) {
        var dt = new DataTable();
        if (rows.Any()) {
            var rowType = typeof(T);
            var memberInfos = rowType.GetPropertiesOrFields();
            foreach (var info in memberInfos)
                dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(info.Name, info.GetMemberType()));

            foreach (var r in rows)

Adidas has pulled a sneaker it was selling in honor of Black History Month after the all-white running shoe was slammed on Twitter.
The shoe, part of the company's Ultraboost line, was included in a broader collection of clothing and sneakers inspired by the Harlem Renaissance, but critics said the sneaker's color, and even the material apparently used to create it, made for a tone-deaf tribute.
"@adidas Releasing an all white sneaker in a Black History Month collection ain't it," one tweet read.


International trade makes people think of boatloads of grain, tankers of oil and lots of money changing hands. But trade also involves surprisingly high levels of environmental conservation.
A report from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in May shows how trade agreements help the United States and partner nations ensure that raw materials and manufactured goods can be traded without trashing the environment.
As forests, wildlife, fish stocks and other resources fall victim to illegal profiteers worldwide, it is clear that "environmental challenges are global in nature and require an international response," the report says.
Numerous provisions in free-trade agreements between the United States and its partners focus on environmental protections. The United States also provides financial and technical aid to help partners set up stronger regulatory and enforcement mechanisms to protect natural resources.
Standing up for the Environment, the May USTR report, offers numbers on planet-friendly actions growing from a select group of trade agreements in recent years. The numbers are drawn from bilateral agreements between the United States and Oman, Morocco, Chile and Peru. Steps toward environmental progress resulting from the Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement also are included in the count.
82,051 people receive training in natural resource management and/or biodiversity conservation with assistance from the U.S. government.
11,839 people gain increased economic benefits from sustainable natural resource management and conservation.
714 policies, laws and regulations promote sustainable natural resource management and conservation.
11,260,000 people learn from public awareness campaigns on biodiversity and endangered species conservation.
37,350 farmers train in environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
30,738,596 hectares come under improved natural resource management.
Chile has established an environmental ministry, environmental enforcement, oversight bodies and environmental tribunals just since 2010.
In Central America, farmers are adopting more sustainable growing practices for coffee and cacao, important cash crops. The Earth-friendly farming methods also provide better habitat for about 200 species, some endangered.

Pasquale è ricordato per aver fondato la storica Fonderia del Pignone a Firenze.

Biografia
Negli anni della sua infanzia si trasferisce in una casa a San Martino a Gangalandi, per poi tornare ad abitare a Ponte a Signa.

Nel 1810, anno in cui si sposa con Maddalena di Pietro Lampredi nella pieve di San Martino a Gangalandi, la madre muore e tra l'eredità, divisa con i suoi fratelli, riceve un podere con villa a Bracciatica in comproprietà con dei cugini di Campi Bisenzio.

Con il podere e la villa a disposizione Pasquale cede la farmacia Benini a Ponte a Signa ed entra socio d'affari con Francesco Carbonai nella fabbricazione dei cappelli di paglia.

Nel 1819 i guadagni della Manifattura e fabbrica Benini di cappelli di paglia crescono in maniera vertiginosa e Pasquale si trasferisce nella villa Castelvecchio a Ponte a Signa.

Alla fine degli anni '20 del XIX secolo il settore della paglia entra in crisi a causa della concorrenza della Cina e negli anni successivi la fabbrica chiude.

Allora Pasquale si trasferisce a Firenze, dove in società con Tommaso Michelagnoli di Signa, si occupa di commercio della seta entrando nel nell'azionariato del setificio di Vincenzo Verità. Grazie all'apporto dei due nuovi soci, la fabbrica di drappi e stoffe di seta Benini-Verità nel 1848 era al ventisettesimo posto nella classe extra dei primi trentacinque contribuenti nel ruolo della Tassa straordinaria di commercio di Firenze.

L'anno successivo rileva, col meccanico Giovanni Niccoli, un'attività di fabbricazione e riparazione di macchine e strumenti per confezionare cappelli di paglia, e le potenzialità che il mercato offre per quanto riguarda oggetti di ferro fuso di seconda fusione.

Convinto che il settore meriti investimenti ancora più importanti il 21 gennaio 1842 sorge ufficialmente quello che è oggi il Nuovo Pignone, una delle maggiori realtà industriali di Firenze, col nome di  "Fonderia di ferro di seconda fusione fuori la Porta S.Frediano presso il Pignone".

Pasquale ottiene la direzione generale dell'azienda, ed essa crescendo di importanza lo porta ad essere decorato dal Granduca nel 1854 per merito industriale di prima classe.

Pasquale muore a Firenze nel 1856 e nel testamento chiede di essere sepolto nell'Oratorio di Bracciatica di sua proprietà, e in più lasciò ai poveri della pieve di San Martino a Gangalandi 100 scudi.

PREVENETION (IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS)!!!
Termites are among nature's most destructive pests. Every year in the U.S. more 5 million homes have some sort of termite problem, amounting to approximately $5 billion in damage. Termite damage is more likely to occur than damage caused by storms, fires and earthquakes combined, yet it's not covered by homeowner's insurance. Termites have been around for 240 million years!!! Our Pittsburgh Pest Control Company is here to keep these pests out of your home.
The old adage of "an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure" is absolutely true, especially when it comes to building a house or new structure and preventing termites. While it is nearly impossible to prevent anything from happen one hundred percent, pretreating the area where your home or new structure is to be constructed or where an addition is to be built can drastically increase your chances of remaining free from termites. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE WITH YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS!!!
The cost of pretreatment is vastly lower than that of after –the –fact repairs, so it's very crucial that you work with a proven termite prevention authority. Visit us online www.elimpest.com or call(412)673-1460 to learn more about our services or to schedule a FREE ESTIMATE.


I received my weekly inspiration from John Holland this morning. It is a wonderful message on connecting with and honoring our loved ones on the other side.
The veil between this world and the next is very thin. As a medium, I have the ability to see beyond that veil and communicate with the Spirit World. I treat it with the utmost respect and never abuse the privilege that's afforded to me.
As I raise my own vibrations to make a connection, I always stop and honor their presence as I blend with their energy. I get to see and feel a soul in its entirety, youthful, beaming, and luminous even if it's for the briefest of moments. I celebrate their joys and their sadness, as well as their love. I am truly blessed to do this work, but I've never considered it as a job. The people who receive a message through me from loved ones on the Other Side often tell me what a beautiful gift they've just received, but in reality I'm the one who's received the ultimate gift. It's a chance for me to honor my soul purpose of being all that I can be as a spirit messenger to help others in their time of need.
the Other Side for themselves, rather than receiving the information secondhand.
A beautiful story of this child's belief in the power of thought illustrates my point perfectly. It revolves around a little girl named Daisy who passed to spirit at the very young age of ten.
"How do you speak to your little brother? I don't hear or see you moving your lips," asked the bewildered mother.
Also there are ADC's (After Death Communications), which happen frequently, even though you may be unaware of them. ADC's are sign from those on the Other-Side. They can visit you in a dream, play with electricity by dimming lights, turning off televisions, stereos, cell phones, etc. Since they are energy it is easy for them to work with electrical energy. They often leave feathers, shiny pennies, and dimes.
Is someone trying to get your attention from the Other Side? Would you like to get a sign yourself? If so, then simply ask for one. Reach out with your thoughts and love to the person you would like a sign from.
Firstly, the most obvious way they'll communicate is through your dreams, so watch and record your dreams, notice if there are symbols that keep showing up in front of you? Are there other ADC's happening around you? By acknowledging them, you're actually letting them know on the Other Side that you're receiving what they're trying to send you.
Also remember, they take their cues from you. If you're emotional or still going through a bereavement, then it's more than likely that they'll wait to send you a sign, knowing that it might upset you at this sensitive time. Equally, they might go to a friend, or another relative to give you a message.
Just remember – love is everlasting, neither death, nor time, or even distance can ever separate us from the ones we love.

Hurricanes are storm systems of at least 74 mph that rotate around a center of low pressure and are fueled by relatively warm ocean waters. These storms are known as typhoons in the western Pacific and cyclones in the Indian Ocean.
1. Tropical disturbance: A cluster of showers and thunderstorms with little or no circulation.
2. Tropical depression: More organized than a tropical disturbance. Definite circulation. Wind speeds of 25 to 38 mph.
3. Tropical storm: Wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph.
4. Hurricane: Wind speed over 73 mph.
The average life span of a hurricane is 3 to 14 days, although some last much longer. Hurricane John lasted 31 days during August and September in 1994.
Winds of 74 to 95 mph and storm surges of 4 to 5 feet. No significant wind damage to well constructed buildings. Some damage is done to poorly constructed signs. Wind damage primarily occurs to mobile homes, shrubbery, trees and foliage. Low-lying roads are inundated by storm surges. Minor pier damage occur.
Winds of 96 to 110 mph and storm surges of 6 to 8 feet. Some roofing material, doors, windows of homes and businesses are damaged by winds. Considerable wind damage to mobile homes and vegetation. Low-lying roads are inundated by storm surges. Considerable damage done by storm surges and waves to piers. Small craft in unprotected anchorages break from moorings.
Winds of 111 to 130 mph and storm surges of 9 to 12 feet. Winds cause structural damage to homes and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtain wall failure. Mobile homes are destroyed. Storm-surge flooding destroys many smaller buildings while large buildings are damaged by floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 10 feet above mean sea level is flooded.
Winds of 131 to 155 mph and storm surges of 13 to 18 feet. More extensive curtain wall failures with some roof failure on homes. Major damage to lower floors of homes and businesses from storm-surge flooding. Terrain continuously lower than 15 feet above mean sea level is flooded.
Winds greater than 155 mph and storm surges greater than 18 feet. Roof failure of many homes and businesses. Structural failure of many small buildings. Storm-surge flooding of areas lower than 20 feet above mean sea level.
Meteorologists set June 1 to Nov. 30 as the Atlantic season because while a few hurricanes have formed outside that window, most happen in summer or fall, when waters are warmest. August and September historically have been the busiest months.
The eye of the hurricane is the innermost portion of the storm. This zone is surprisingly calm with little or no wind. Within the eye, the skies are often clear, despite the fact that winds and clouds continue to rage around the edge of the eye.
The eye is not always in the center of the storm. Sometimes it turns or moves in various directions with the storm itself, which continues to move forward on its own course.
A storm becomes a tropical storm, and receives a name, when its winds reach 39 mph.
It becomes a hurricane at 74 mph. Short, given names are used to avoid confusion about what storm is being described. Six lists are used in rotation, with a name for each letter except Q, U, X, Y, Z. Names of very severe storms, such as Katrina, are retired.
Among hurricanes to strike United States, Katrina ranks a distant third in terms of deaths, while the United States overall has had far fewer hurricane deaths than Caribbean and Central American countries.
Katrina set the new benchmark for costliest hurricane, nearly doubling the previous record, which was set by Andrew in 1992. The estimates are in dollars adjusted for inflation to the year 2004.
The United States has seen dozens of Category 1-3 hurricanes make landfall since 1851, yet only seven Category 5 storms - and four of those were in 2005.
A hurricane watch is issued when hurricane conditions are possible within 24 to 36 hours. A hurricane warning is issued when hurricane conditions (winds of 74 miles per hour or greater, or dangerously high water and rough seas) are expected in 24 hours or less.
Contact the local emergency management office or American Red Cross chapter and ask for the community hurricane preparedness plan. This plan should include information on the safest evacuation routes and nearby shelters.
Include all family members in a plan. Teach them how and when to turn off gas, electricity and water. Teach children how and when to call 911, police, or fire department and which radio station to tune to for emergency information. Make sure all family members know how to respond after a hurricane. Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the family contact. After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address and phone number of the contact person.
Learn safe routes inland. Be ready to drive 20 to 50 miles to a safe place.
Have disaster supplies on hand: flashlight and extra batteries, portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries, first-aid kit and manual, emergency food and water, non-electric can opener, essential medicines, cash and credit cards, sturdy shoes.
Make arrangements for pets, which may not be allowed into emergency shelters for health and space reasons. Contact your local humane society for information on local animal shelters.
- Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for progress reports. Check emergency supplies. Fill your car with gas. Bring in outdoor objects such as lawn furniture, toys and garden tools, and anchor objects that cannot be brought inside.
- Secure buildings by closing and boarding up windows. Remove outside antennas.
- Turn refrigerator and freezer to coldest settings. Open only when absolutely necessary and close quickly.
- Store drinking water in clean bathtubs, jugs, bottles and cooking utensils.
- If you have a boat, moor it securely or move it to a designated safe place. Use rope or chain to secure boat to trailer. Use tie downs to anchor trailer to the ground or house.
- If in a mobile home, check tie downs and evacuate immediately.
- Protect your windows. Permanent shutters are the best protection. A lower-cost approach is to put up plywood panels. Use 1/2 inch marine plywood and mark which board fits which window. Pre-drill holes every 18 inches for screws.
- Store valuables and personal papers in a waterproof container on the highest level of your home. Remove outdoor furniture, container plants and decorative objects from patios, terraces, verandas and porches. Store them inside so they will not become flying missiles.
- Avoid elevators. If at home, stay inside, away from windows, skylights and glass doors.
- Keep a supply of flashlights and extra batteries handy. Avoid open flames, such as candles and kerosene lamps, as a source of light.
- If power is lost, turn off major appliances to reduce power "surge" when electricity is restored.
- Place towels on the window sills to absorb leaking water. Wedge patio doors so they cannot be torn off.
- Leave as soon as possible. Avoid flooded roads and watch for washed-out bridges.
- Secure your home by unplugging appliances and turning off electricity and the main water valve.
- Tell someone outside of the storm area where you are going. If time permits, and you live in an identified surge zone, elevate furniture to protect it from flooding or better yet, move it to a higher floor.
- Bring preassembled emergency supplies and warm protective clothing. Take blankets and sleeping bags to shelter. Lock up home and leave.
Each May, U.S. government experts issue a forecast for the coming season that provides a range of hurricanes. Below are the ranges for recent years, and the actual number of hurricanes that formed.
Nine U.S. states are particularly vulnerable to Atlantic hurricanes.
Much of southeast Houston, the largest Texas city along the coast, would likely be flooded if a Category 5 storm hit. Nearby Galveston saw the deadliest storm to strike U.S. soil, a hurricane that claimed up to 12,000 lives in 1900. The area is also near dozens of chemical plants and offshore oil and gas wells.
New Orleans and other coastal areas are even more vulnerable than before Katrina, given that many marshes and barrier islands that created a first line of defense from storm surge have been wiped out. Katrina also destroyed New Orleans' levee system, and while much has been rebuilt concerns remain about its effectiveness. Coastal areas are home to half the state's population.
Most of the state's 90 miles of coastline, as well as barrier islands offshore, were torn up by Katrina. An area between Waveland and Pascagoula saw storm surges of up to several miles inland that destroyed thousands of homes.
The state's southwest coast has the highest concentration of residents in Alabama after Birmingham. While Loisiana and Mississippi got most of the Katrina attention, Alabama also saw coastal destruction and most of the state received federal funds.
The state has more coastline than any other, and much of that is built up with resort and retirement communities. The Florida Keys, a string of islands with full-time population of 80,000, are particularly vulnerable since they are just a few feet above sea level.
The great Savannah area is home to 300, 000 people and is a major port for cargo ships. Built on flat marshes, the city is vulnerable to flooding and uses canals and pumping stations to remove excess water.
Charleston, the state�s second largest city with 115,000 residents, sits at the junction of two rivers near the coast. It was battered by Hurricane Hugo in 1989, with 75 percent of the city's historic district suffering damage from inland flooding.
The Outer Banks, a 90 miles stretch of barrier islands, are the first line of defense for the mainland. But the low-lying islands often get battered themselves. Their position makes them the most hurricane-prone area north of the Florida. In the second half of the 1990's, inland areas of the state were hit by a rash of hurricanes, including Floyd, which caused widespread flooding and pollution problems from overflowing hog waste ponds.
Though its coastline is small, Virginia has suffered hurricane damage, particularly flooding from rains. Norfolk, with a population of 240,000, is home to the world�s largest naval base, and the Navy always moves its fleet out to sea and safer waters when hurricanes approaches.
The U.S. mainland has never been hit by both a Category 4 and a Category 5 hurricane in the same season. Category Five storms, which can generate storm surges higher than 18 feet are rare. Only three such hurricanes have made landfall in the United States in the past 70 years, including Andrew in 1992, Camille in 1969 and the unnamed storm that hit the Florida Keys in 1935. Rita is the 17th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, making this the fourth-busiest season since record-keeping started in 1851. The record is 21 tropical storms in 1933.
The hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November.


Financial aid formulas expect children to pitch in some of their own money to pay for school, but that's no reason not to encourage them to save.
I love your column. I have a question about children's savings and how it affects their ability to get financial aid for college. I know that you can teach children to save or invest through different vehicles, such as a savings account, stocks or IRAs. But if they have saved money, what's the impact on their financial-aid application?
When schools calculate how much a family can afford to pay toward college bills, assets held by a child are hit harder than assets held by a parent. Under the federal financial-aid formula, children are expected to contribute 20% of assets held in their name, whereas parents have to contribute no more than 5.6% of their assets.
So if you expect to qualify for financial assistance, it's better to hold the bulk of your assets in your name rather than your child's. But that doesn't mean your kids shouldn't save or invest. Don't become so focused on financial aid that you lose sight of teaching your kids the value of thrift and having them help pay for their own college expenses.
Besides, when it comes to money saved by a child, the amounts will probably be small. Like all retirement assets, money in a child's IRA isn't included in federal aid forumulas. And if kids spend down their assets in the early years of college, they could qualify for aid later.
I agree with you so much regarding the outrageous things parents do for their children's birthday parties. When my oldest child, now 16, was younger, I always threw creative and economical birthday parties, and the guests raved about them afterward.
The cable show about lavish 16th-birthday parties is a prime example of how parents go overboard all in the name of ... love? What do these children have to look forward to for their weddings?
For my two younger children (28 months and 16 months), I have kept birthday celebrations to immediate family and a couple of family friends, and have limited it to cake and gifts. The children won't remember these parties, and the money would be better spent (or saved) elsewhere.
I have nothing to prove to anyone, and don't feel I need to keep up with the Joneses.


Banacek (pronounced "BAN-a-check") is an American detective TV series starring George Peppard that aired on the NBC network from 1972 to 1974. The series was part of the rotating NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie anthology. It alternated in its time slot with several other shows but was the only one to last beyond its first season.

Teens Unremorseful After Stealing From Girl Scout
Police: Charges Could Be Pending
The State Attorney's Office will decide whether to charge two teens who admit they robbed a 9-year-old Girl Scout selling cookies outside of a Lake Worth supermarket."I thought that it was a really mean thing to do, and I was sad after," Girl Scout Gracie Smith told WPBF News 25.Authorities said that a 17-year-old girl in a hot-pink sweatshirt approached Smith outside of a Winn-Dixie supermarket at Hypoluxo and Jog roads in Lake Worth Wednesday evening and asked the girl what her favorite cookies were. Police told WPBF that, while Smith was telling the teen about her favorite Cinna-Spins, the teen snatched an envelope containing about $164 off of Smith's table, hopped into another teen's car and drove away.

Lake Worth, Fla. —
The State Attorney's Office will decide whether to charge two teens who admit they robbed a 9-year-old Girl Scout selling cookies outside of a Lake Worth supermarket.

The flag of the Orange Free State was officially used from 1857 to 1902.  It was superseded by the flag of the Orange River Colony.

History
When the Orange Free State became an independent republic in February 1854, the government hoisted a red, white and blue flag. Details of the exact design have been lost, but it was presumably similar to the contemporary flag of the Netherlands. It was evidently intended as a temporary flag, as the first State President, Josias Philip Hoffman asked King Willem III of the Netherlands (r. 1849–1890) to give the new state which bore the Dutch royal family's name a flag and coat of arms. The king graciously agreed.

A flag and coat of arms were designed by the Hoge Raad van Adel. They duly arrived in the Orange Free State in January 1856, and the Volksraad (legislature) resolved on 28 February 1856 that "the design of the flag sent by the King of the Netherlands shall be adopted".  It was officially taken into use a year later, on 23 February 1857, the third anniversary of the republic.

It was used until the republic came to an end on 31 May 1902.

The flag was later incorporated into the design of the national flag of South Africa (from 1928 to 1994) and used by the Anglo-Boer War Museum and the Voortrekker Monument.

The flag also appears in the music video of the Afrikaans song De la Rey by Bok van Blerk.

Description
The flag consisted of seven horizontal bands of white (4) and orange (3), with the Dutch flag in the canton.

La acción del 4 de agosto de 1800 fue un enfrentamiento naval muy inusual que tuvo lugar frente a la costa brasileña durante las Guerras Revolucionarias Francesas. Una fuerza de fragata francesa que había estado atacando el comercio británico frente a África Occidental se acercó e intentó atacar un convoy de valiosos indios orientales (buques mercantes grandes y fuertemente armados que navegaban desde Gran Bretaña a la India británica y China), dos barcos que navegaban hacia Botany Bay y un ballenero navegando para la pesquería de ballenas de los Mares del Sur. El pequeño buque británico de línea HMS Belliqueux escoltó al convoy, que de lo contrario tenía que depender del armamento individual de los barcos para protegerlos de los ataques. Debido a su gran tamaño, los indios orientales podían ser confundidos con barcos de línea a distancia, y el comandante francés comodoro Jean-François Landolphe no estaba nervioso cuando el convoy formó una línea de batalla. Suponiendo que su objetivo fuera una flota de poderosos buques de guerra, se volvió para escapar y el comandante británico, el capitán Rowley Bulteel, ordenó inmediatamente una persecución. Para preservar la impresión de los buques de guerra, también ordenó a cuatro de sus indios orientales más poderosos que se unieran a la persecución.

Belliqueux rápidamente corrió el buque insignia de Landolphe, el Concorde, dejando a Landolphe sin otra opción que rendirse sin ninguna resistencia seria. El resto de la escuadra francesa continuó huyendo por separado durante la noche, cada uno perseguido por dos indios orientales. Después de una hora y media de persecución, con la oscuridad cayendo, el indio oriental Exeter se acercó a la fragata francesa Médée, dando la impresión mediante el uso de luces de que Exeter era un gran barco de línea. Creyéndose superado, el capitán Jean-Daniel Coudin, de Médée, se rindió, solo descubriendo la verdadera identidad de su agresor cuando subió a bordo del Exeter. La acción es la única ocasión durante la guerra en la que un buque mercante británico capturó un gran buque de guerra francés.

Antecedentes
En 1800, los británicos y los franceses habían estado en guerra durante siete años y los británicos dominaban el mar, después de una serie de victorias significativas sobre las flotas francesa, holandesa y española. Frente a todos los puertos franceses, grandes escuadrones de barcos británicos de línea y fragatas esperaban los movimientos franceses y, siempre que era posible, interceptaban y destruían buques mercantes y buques de guerra franceses. Mientras que los barcos comerciales británicos viajaban en convoyes grandes y bien armados, los barcos franceses se vieron obligados a deslizarse entre los puertos para evitar el bloqueo británico. Para contrarrestar el control británico de los mares, los franceses enviaron periódicamente escuadrones de barcos para atacar las rutas comerciales británicas, particularmente frente a África Occidental y en el Atlántico Sur, donde la Royal Navy mantenía solo fuerzas mínimas.

Los grandes convoyes de indios orientales estaban entre los principales objetivos de cualquier asaltante francés. Estos enormes barcos zarparon de Gran Bretaña con carga general, o a menudo almacenes militares y tropas, a la India u otros puertos en el Océano Índico, el sudeste asiático o China. Allí vendían sus cargamentos y tomaban especias, té, seda y otros artículos de lujo antes de hacer el viaje de regreso a Gran Bretaña. Un viaje de ida y vuelta tomó más de un año y un indio oriental que navegaba a Gran Bretaña transportaba rutinariamente cientos de miles de libras en bienes comerciales; un gran convoy que zarpó de Cantón en enero de 1804 tenía un valor de más de 8 millones de libras. Los indios orientales estaban bien protegidos, armados con hasta 30 cañones, y generalmente viajaban en grandes convoyes en los que los barcos podían proporcionarse protección mutua. Tales convoyes a menudo tenían una escolta de la Royal Navy, generalmente incluyendo un barco de línea.

El 6 de marzo de 1799, una escuadra francesa había zarpado de Rochefort. Consistía en las fragatas Concorde, bajo el comodoro Jean-François Landolphe, Médée, bajo el capitán Jean-Daniel Coudin, y Franchise, bajo el capitán Pierre Jurien, era una fuerza poderosa, capaz de infligir daños significativos a la marina mercante ligeramente defendida. Eludiendo la fuerza de bloqueo frente a Rochefort, el escuadrón navegó hacia el sur hasta llegar a la costa de África Occidental. Allí los barcos de Landolphe comenzaron una extensa operación de incursión comercial, infligiendo graves daños al comercio de África Occidental durante el resto del año. Eventualmente, la tensión de servir en aguas tropicales se dio cuenta en los barcos y los tres se vieron obligados a someterse a un extenso reacondicionamiento en los astilleros aliados disponibles más cercanos, que se encontraban en el Río de la Plata en poder de los españoles en América del Sur. Las reparaciones continuaron durante seis meses, hasta que Landolphe consideró al escuadrón una vez más listo para navegar a principios del verano de 1800. El escuadrón capturó casi de inmediato una goleta estadounidense, que equipó como un buque de abasto. En ese momento, Francia y los Estados Unidos habían estado involucrados durante dos años en la Cuasi-Guerra.

Acción
El convoy británico consistía en el Bombay Castle de las Indias Orientales, Exeter, Dorsetshire, Coutts y Neptune, los barcos de Botany Bay Royal Admiral y Anne, y el ballenero Seringapatam. El único buque de guerra británico fue Belliqueux. El 4 de agosto estaban cerca de la isla de Trinidad frente a la costa brasileña. Desde allí, los indios orientales atraparían los vientos alisios del oeste que los llevarían a Santa Elena, el Cabo de Buena Esperanza y sus destinos.

A las 07:00 del 4 de agosto, mientras la escuadra francesa navegaba frente a la costa brasileña, los vigías avistaron velas en el horizonte. Inseguros de la identidad de los extraños barcos, los franceses gradualmente cerraron la distancia durante la mañana. Landolphe pudo ver que había siete grandes buques y tres barcos más pequeños, todos inconfundiblemente británicos. Sin embargo, no pudo decir si eran barcos de guerra de línea o indios orientales. Inicialmente pensó que podrían ser barcos mercantes, pero al mediodía avistó filas dobles de cañoneras a lo largo del costado de cada barco y canceló el ataque, dándose la vuelta y señalando para que su escuadrón se dividiera, creyendo que el enemigo eran grandes buques de guerra fácilmente capaces de destruir su pequeña fuerza. El capitán Jurien protestó por la orden de Landolphe, insistiendo en que el convoy estaba compuesto por barcos mercantes y no por buques de guerra, pero Landolphe anuló las protestas de Jurien. De hecho, Jurien tenía razón.

Con los franceses en pleno vuelo, Bulteel decidió continuar con la artimaña de que su convoy consistía en buques de guerra. Mientras él y Belliqueux perseguían al Concorde, él hizo señas para que sus mayores indios orientales siguieran a los otros barcos franceses para asegurarse de que no regresaran y contraatacaran al convoy mientras Belliqueux estaba comprometido. Exeter, bajo el capitán Henry Meriton, y Bombay Castle, bajo el capitán John Hamilton, debían seguir a Médée, mientras que Coutts, bajo el capitán Robert Torin, y Neptune, bajo el capitán Nathaniel Spens, debían seguir a Franchise. Los cuatro buques tenían más de 1200 toneladas (bm) y llevaban 30 cañones cada uno, pero ninguno tenía más de 130 tripulantes a bordo y no podía competir en precisión o velocidad de disparo con los 315 hombres a bordo de cada uno de los barcos franceses. A lo largo de la tarde, la persecución continuó, con Belliqueux ganando constantemente en el buque insignia francés, mientras que Franchise, acompañada por la goleta estadounidense, ganó en sus perseguidores. A las 17:20, Bulteel estaba a larga distancia de la nave de Landolphe, que devolvió el fuego cuando fue posible. Durante el intercambio de disparos, ninguno de los bandos sufrió daños ni bajas, pero el barco de la línea estaba ganando claramente en la fragata y en diez minutos Landolphe se rindió en lugar de ver su barco destruido y sus hombres muertos en un combate desigual.

A las 19:00, Franchise había arrojado sus botes salvavidas y una gran cantidad de cañones y suministros por la borda, aligerando el barco lo suficiente como para que ella superara con creces la persecución. Al caer la noche, la fragata francesa escapó por completo de la fuerza británica. Sin embargo, Médée no había escapado. Aunque el castillo de Bombay estaba a muchos kilómetros de distancia, solo visible en el horizonte, Exeter había podido seguir de cerca a la fragata. Meriton era consciente de que el buque de guerra francés era mucho más fuerte que su propio buque mercante, pero se dio cuenta de que como la fragata no había hecho ningún esfuerzo por luchar, su comandante debía creer que Exeter era un barco de línea. Para reforzar esta imagen en la oscuridad que se acercaba rápidamente, Meriton dispuso luces detrás de cada puerto de armas, ya sea que contuviera o no un cañón, creando un efecto descrito como «una temible linterna de jack-o'-lantern». Cuando su barco se niveló con la fragata francesa, Meriton elogió la cubierta del enemigo, pidiéndoles que se rindieran. Intimidado por este enemigo grande y aparentemente poderoso, Coudin decidió que su única opción era atacar su bandera y subir a bordo del barco británico para rendirse formalmente. Al llegar a bordo, se sorprendió al ver muchos menos cañones y más pequeños de los que normalmente llevaba un buque de guerra. Cuando Coudin preguntó a quién se había rendido, se dice que Meriton respondió «a un comerciante». Horrorizado, Coudin exigió que se le permitiera regresar a su barco y llevar a cabo una batalla naval formal, pero Meriton se negó.

Secuelas
En el combate del 4 de agosto de 1800 ninguna de las partes tuvo un solo hombre muerto o herido; la acción aún infligió una severa derrota naval a una poderosa fuerza de fragata francesa, poniendo fin a su exitosa carrera de asalto. El capitán Jurien en Franquicia pasó otras tres semanas frente a la costa brasileña antes de regresar a Francia. El 9 de agosto se encontró con el mercante Wellesley, que se dirigía al Cabo, pero después de un compromiso de aproximadamente una hora, el barco británico logró expulsar a su atacante. Jurien siguió a Wellesley durante dos días, pero luego abandonó la persecución; luego no vio otra vela hasta que abandonó el área.

El convoy de Bulteel continuó, deteniéndose en Río de Janeiro el 12 de agosto para reabastecerse. Los indios orientales luego se dirigieron a Santa Elena en su camino a Asia. Los dos barcos de Botany Bay navegaron hacia Australia y el ballenero Seringapatam navegó hacia los Mares del Sur.

Las fragatas capturadas eran valiosos premios, pero la Royal Navy solo adquirió Medée, que tomó en servicio como HMS Medee; la Armada nunca comisionó Medee, sino que la utilizó como buque prisión durante unos años antes de venderla en 1805. Las fragatas habían llegado a puerto poco antes de la Paz de Amiens y, por lo tanto, se consideraron excedentes para los requisitos de la Marina. Los barcos y sus tiendas y equipos se vendían de forma privada; las ganancias de la venta se pagaron como dinero del premio en febrero de 1803. Las tripulaciones británicas también se beneficiaron del dinero de la cabeza, un premio financiero para cada marinero francés capturado durante el combate.

Bulteel y Meriton fueron elogiados. Meriton iba a librar dos batallas navales más contra los franceses, sirviendo en la exitosa defensa de la Flota de China en la batalla de Pulo Aura en febrero de 1804. Fue gravemente herido y capturado por una escuadra de fragatas francesas después de una feroz defensa en la acción del 3 de julio de 1810.

Apocalipse 13

1Então vi subir do mar uma besta que tinha dez chifres e sete cabeças, e sobre os seus chifres dez diademas, e sobre as suas cabeças nomes de blasfêmia.

2E a besta que vi era semelhante ao leopardo, e os seus pés como os de urso, e a sua boca como a de leão; e o dragão deu-lhe o seu poder e o seu trono e grande autoridade.

3Também vi uma de suas cabeças como se fora ferida de morte, mas a sua ferida mortal foi curada. Toda a terra se maravilhou, seguindo a besta,

4e adoraram o dragão, porque deu à besta a sua autoridade; e adoraram a besta, dizendo: Quem é semelhante à besta? quem poderá batalhar contra ela?

5Foi-lhe dada uma boca que proferia arrogâncias e blasfêmias; e deu-se-lhe autoridade para atuar por quarenta e dois meses.

6E abriu a boca em blasfêmias contra Deus, para blasfemar do seu nome e do seu tabernáculo e dos que habitam no céu.

7Também lhe foi permitido fazer guerra aos santos, e vencê-los; e deu-se-lhe autoridade sobre toda tribo, e povo, e língua e nação.

8E adorá-la-ão todos os que habitam sobre a terra, esses cujos nomes não estão escritos no livro do Cordeiro que foi morto desde a fundação do mundo.

9Se alguém tem ouvidos, ouça.

10Se alguém leva em cativeiro, em cativeiro irá; se alguém matar à espada, necessário é que à espada seja morto. Aqui está a perseverança e a fé dos santos.

11E vi subir da terra outra besta, e tinha dois chifres semelhantes aos de um cordeiro; e falava como dragão.

12Também exercia toda a autoridade da primeira besta na sua presença; e fazia que a terra e os que nela habitavam adorassem a primeira besta, cuja ferida mortal fora curada.

13E operava grandes sinais, de maneira que fazia até descer fogo do céu à terra, à vista dos homens;

14e, por meio dos sinais que lhe foi permitido fazer na presença da besta, enganava os que habitavam sobre a terra e lhes dizia que fizessem uma imagem à besta que recebera a ferida da espada e vivia.

15Foi-lhe concedido também dar fôlego à imagem da besta, para que a imagem da besta falasse, e fizesse que fossem mortos todos os que não adorassem a imagem da besta.

16E fez que a todos, pequenos e grandes, ricos e pobres, livres e escravos, lhes fosse posto um sinal na mão direita, ou na fronte,

17para que ninguém pudesse comprar ou vender, senão aquele que tivesse o sinal, ou o nome da besta, ou o número do seu nome.

18Aqui há sabedoria. Aquele que tem entendimento, calcule o número da besta; porque é o número de um homem, e o seu número é seiscentos e sessenta e seis.
