Early Detection and Treatment of Head & Neck Cancers
Author: Rami El Assal
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers that, if combined, represent one of the most common cancer types. Patients with HNC suffer significant morbidity and mortality due to the importance of the structures involved. Over two-thirds of these patients are diagnosed at a late stage, leading to a poor prognosis. Therefore, advancements in early detection and treatment of HNC are crucial. Volume I begins with a general overview, including the industry landscape, of HNC detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Next, it covers the applications of innovative technologies such as microfluidics, nanotechnology, and deep learning to early detect as well as study HNC. For example, studying the cellular features at a single-cell level became possible with the advancement of technologies such as mass cytometry or specifically, Cytometry by Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometry (CyTOF), which has revolutionized the way we can study complex human diseases such as HNC. Finally, the last few chapters are dedicated to describing the standard of care of HNC. The first volume of Early Detection and Treatment of Head & Neck Cancers is highly pertinent to the next generation of interdisciplinary clinicians, scientists, residents, and students who are particularly interested in HNC and in the translation of early detection methods, technologies, and research to clinical practice.

A GOLDEN Valley church which has been left vacant for almost four years will be turned into a health and wellbeing centre.
Ewyas Harold Group Parish Council has bought St John Kemble, a former Catholic Church, in the centre of the village which closed in 2011.
Residents said they would like to acquire the site for community use in the parish plan in 2012.
The parish council successfully bid for the site when it came up for sale and it is now listed as an "asset of community value".
Councillors will now work with the community on plans to develop the health centre.
Councillor Graham Powell, local ward member for Golden Valley South and cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: "Keeping people happy, safe and active has a huge benefit on their health and wellbeing and having a local centre such as this to provide additional services alongside comprehensive information, advice and guidance has to be a positive step forward."
Funds will now need to be raised and grants acquired in order to make the building fit for purpose.

I almost didn't think I'd make it - but I've just wrapped up this little card today, and even managed to photograph it with the dark clouds rolling in. I really wanted to play along with this month's Pinkfresh Studio challenge - which was all about puffy stickers!
I don't have a heap of puffies in my stash, but I found a way to use what I got. Love when that happens!
Here's my take on the challenge - and be sure to check out all the amazing entries over on the Pinkfresh blog!
I used the gorgeous Pinkfesh Fleur 1 stamp set for all the beautiful florals at the top of the card. I loooove this set so much and I want one of my own! I was lucky enough to play with a set to test it out but I'm going to pick up one of these soon. I love it so, so much!
I used some really pretty watercolors to add a bit of colorwash to the embossed florals.
These soft colors are a combination of Distress Inks and Papertrey Inks.
I used shades of Aqua Mist, Amethyst Allure and Picked Raspberry. Love these tones together!
I really wanted to florals to shine, and to make sure I incorporated enough puffi-ness, so I kept the rest of the card color free.
Then I added a dimensional heart, which I cut using Papertrey Ink's Limitless Layers: Stitched Hearts, backed with my favorite super-duper sticky adhesive sheets.
These are so great for adding to cardstock before you run it through a die-cutting machine with your favorite die. Because it's super tacky you can stick almost anything to it! I love adding glitter, beads, or other fun mediums to make any die-cut shape a fun, new embellie.
Here, I added my favorite Prills beads - Lavender and Lace. They are sooo delicate and pretty and I love how the different sizes work so well to fully cover any shape. And they come in piles of pretty colors - I must get a few more to try.
After adding the heart, I used these really pretty iridescent puffy letters that came as a part of a decorating kit I bought a while back. I thought I would never really use them, but kept them anyways, and they worked perfectly! The colors turn from aqua to purple to pink with each little catch of light, and it accentuates the colors of the card so well! Here's to never throwing anything out, amiright?
And last but not least, I added a few more puffy heart stickers at the top, which used be a lovely shade of blush, so I added a light dusting of embossing powder using Tonic Studios Nuvo - Serenity Blue to give them a makeover. I also added a stamped and embossed sentiment onto some heat-resistant acetate that I've been loving sooo much. It's perfect for embossing without any warping.
Just a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in White, and a wee ricrac trim at the bottom and this card is all done!
Oh and I added a couple more of my favorite rhinestones - Queen and Co Posies - at the bottom too.
Oh my, so much goodness!! I would have to send you a thank you card for receiving this one! It is so very pretty! I just love all the "puffy" details. Love your work all the time!
Aw, thank you so much, Samra! Many hugs to you!!
Stunning like always my dear Ivana! I love puffyness of this one!
So many thanks, dear friend!! Sending you big hugs!!
What a lovely card! Anybody who will get this would definitely love it!
Thank you so much, Sam!! So kind of you!
Oh wow--so feminine & beautiful--can't take my eyes off it, Ivana! Incredibly creative use of the letters & hearts! I almost got some Prills & now I know what adhesive sheets to get next time!


the curio market | let's go pinas!!
« paradigm redux: finally, a finalist!
I am very much into interior design. It is one of my pleasures. And if I need something special for any of the areas that need some refurbishing without necessarily breaking the bank, then the Dapitan Market at Quezon City has to be consulted somehow. There is just a vast array of home decor (and even fashion accessories) – some corny and cheesy, and some pleasantly tasteful – all of which are manufactured by enterprising and creative Filipinos.
One just needs to have a good eye to see all the possibilities of what is inside this market.

Women are better relative to men at the marathon because they burn fat more efficiently. This is why Pam Reed can beat Dean Karnazes at 100 miles; at 26.2 miles, the effect is less so, but Paula beat some of her male Kenyan pacemakers running 2:15:25 in London.
So dunes, besides offering falsehood, you note that you think Wang's drugged up 29:31 is not sufficient and she could have run 28-something. I think we can now realize the full nature of this idiot; 29:31, a time no one else has EVER approached, not even Wang, is not enough.
Instead, dunes would have Wang run 28:59 and she would STILL BE CLEAN, EVEN THOUGH PAULA RADCLIFFE WOULD BE 60+ SECONDS BACK.
End this nonsensical debate; this is long beyond ridiculous.
"Can't see the dunes through the sand"
When Ondieki broke through the 27 minute barrier for 10,000m for the first time in 1993 it was met with some cynicism within the athletics world. 'He's on drugs' they cried, after all 27mins is a faster pace than the great Ron Clarke ran for his first 5k WR. Are we to believe its genuine?
BUT didnt Clarke himself reduce the 10k record by a quantum 40s in the 60s. Didn't he run an average of 13'49, faster than the hungarian legend Iharos ran for a 5k WR just 10 years before and faster also than Chataway managed when breaking Kuts WR for 5k.
Isn't it the natural evolution of things to run faster and faster, breaking barriers that once seemed improbable (though not impossible)?
When Geb & Bekele run sub 13min for their second 5k in a championship 10k should we sit back in awe or stand and accuse? After all, its faster than Moorcroft ever ran, isnt it?
But dont think that this hasnt always been happening. It has and long before EPO was around. It may ne naive to think that all records are clean but its pure folly to think that they are impossible times. Running faster and faster is not evidence of drug taking, taking drugs is!
Can someone tell me the best way to strengthen slow-twitch fibers?
Heres a point: The womens 10k is a very weak event in depth. Why?
1/ The 2nd fastest ever time came unpaced and unheralded and in the rain with no competition (O'Sullivan was 300m behind). Also, it was in a championship race with no financial incentive for fast times.
2/ The next 4 best times ever came in the one championship race again with no pacers and no financial incentives. Paris World Champs.
3/ The womens 10,000m has only been an olympic event since 1988, prior to 1984 the longest event was the 1500m. It is an event that is its infancy compared to the mens equivelent.
4/ I can recall NO staged, paced, WR attempts in the 10k with the exception (perhaps) of Junxia in 93. The only time on the lists (top 20) that was in a 'staged' event was Kristiansens Oslo time (30'13). See List below.
Consider what might have happened had Paula run a 10k in Oslo instead of rainy, windy Munich in August 2002 with Abera and Dibaba sharing the pacemaking duties. A conservative estimate would be 29'45", just 16" faster than her Munich time. Why is it incomprehensible that Junxia would be just 13" further ahead of her?
run lots of miles at a variety of paces up to 5k pace.
Let´s forget for a moment the question that´s if Junxia took drugs or don´t and let´s just think about the fact that she did 29:31 in 1993.
First your mistake that´s to use an all time ranking. With this we may think that Junxia only did a run 30 seconds faster than Paula´s 30:01. But this is to use the results as manipulation. By take a look for the all time ranking and if we follow your arguments (that Paula might have something close to 29:45). But this is an untrue, Why? for 2 reasons: First you can´t relate real performances - 29:31 to Junxia - to hypothetic perfromances 29:45 for Radcliffe. But second and more important reason is that you can´t relate performances done in different periods. You can´t relate a 1993 performance to a 2002, a 9 years later result.
Now this is a real ranking that we may understand what Junxia did in that day.
She did a WR by 42 seconds. Now i can use the same arguments than you - she did a solo run, with no pacer help with no challenge competition, she did that in a national competition.
Despite that acoording some of you - Renato and Dunes - she is very talented runner i don´t think so.
You say that´s no surprise what she did, but she did run 10000m several occasions but she never did BEFORE or AFTER no more 10000m runs that are close to his 29:31 close to 30 seconds. She also never did a 5000m run faster than 15:00. Now in the second 5000m of that 10000m run she did 14:26 which would be not just 5000m WR by 22 seconds at that time (14:48 for Zola Budd) as the second 5000m would be Junxia 5000m PB (14:512.8 in 1996 by Junxia).
If you take a look to all runners that are close to Junxia performace - those that you use for the All time ranking and you classified the standard (category) of the performances of that runners, in 1500m, 5000m, and half marathon and marathon - most of them are of relate category, but Junxia 29:31 is out of any other performance in all other events - even for those that were distance events in the championship or olympics erlier on and that Junxia did also run in several occasions (1500m, 3000m, 5000m).
Now the same argument that may be most of you don´t agree with me.May be you think that Junxia is a good runner - but i don´t think so. I think that Paula Radcliffe or Ingrid Kristiansen are better than Junxia. Paula she is able to be close to Junxia 10000m performances, but bettrre in 3000m, 5000m and marathon than Junxia - with less traiuning volume than Junxia.
If you want to know the real talent of a runner relate to another one you need to see which of them trains less, not more. The one that trains less and do similar performances is the best one.
Fernanda Ribeiro that i know so well - 14:36,45 WR and 30:22.88 - olympic winner over Junxia and world champ 3 times, silver olympic, bronze olympic of course that she is a greater natural talent than Junxia. You may argue that Junxia did win some runs against the chinese boys. But if that´s true what you say that after join Ma Juren she did that 40kilos a day/hard training programme, then she is no good at all ! Meanwhile Fernanda Ribeiro did 63min in his race debut with 13 years old. That´s no mistake - 13 years old in Nazare Half Marathon. She winned over Rosa Mota an olympic marathon winner. Buit what´s more fantastic is that she did that with no training sessions. May be you don´t belive but she did that. Simply the perfdormance isn´t consider because according IAAF that´s illegal to run an half marathon before you are a senior runner. Then the result is not in the rankings.
But let me say more about this. She did all titles, but she is very lazzy - she never did more than 100-120kilos a week - may be in a exceptional week in a 20 years career she did more than 140kilos in rare occasions. I know that she is hardly convinced to train in the morning - she rests in bed untill 10:30 AM, and she hates to double. This is the reason that i don´t need to look to 2000millions chineese people to know female runners best than Junxia. But even if i imagine that Fernanda would be able to run 200 to 300kilos a week she would be able to run 29:31. Never. No way.
Wang Junxia ran 3:51.9 for 1500m and 8:05.4 for 3000m.
Isn't 8:05.4 faster than those who ran 8:22?
Wang Junxia was also World Champion in the marathon.
I agree Fernanda Ribeiro is a fantastic runner.
But didn't Ron Clarke pull a Wang? ie Many many seconds faster than prev WR?
When Wang did her phenominal run, wasn't women's 10000m rather new on the international track scene?
When I was 20 I made some huge jumps in my times, despite training for a few years.
Why doesn't anyone mention Ingrid's huge 10000m jump? 40sec+?
She was never a world champ in the marathon...here's her PR. Pretty good.
More than to question 29:31 Junxia – this is already done – I want to use the Junxia case to do my opinion about what I consider a talent runner, male or female. In my opinion in long distance events, if you take 2 runners with similar performances standards, the one that have more talent is the one that trains less – volume or intensity or both.
In this my line of conclusion, if that´s true that Junxia did what she did simply based in that monster training programme, she isn´t so talent as most of you say. In that my conclusion Paula Radcliffe or Fernanda Ribeiro or any other that trains less than Junxia they are more talented than Junxia, then the myth that´s to think that statistical probability that Junxia is very talent because among 200 billion people ther´s super talent is also a weak argument.
If te Chinese women, to do what they did they needed to train so hard that´s because they weren´t such great talents. the one that trains less is the talented one.
But concerning your post arguments. For me nothing that you say about Ron Clark or anything else is related/compared with Junxia´s outstanding 29:31. Of course that Ron Clark did 27:39.89 WR, but he also did 27:49.4 and also 27:54.0. Besides he also did 13:16WR. If you use that simple and empiric system that´s to calculate the 10000m 2X5000m PB+50-60seconds, then you have for Ron Clark 2X13:16+50-60sec=26:32+60s=27:32. Yes I believe that a 13:16 may do 27:30. He isn´t the only one to do have that 2X5000m+60s ratio and since the long distances that improved in the recent years, few years later Belgian Emiel Puttemans and Viren and many other broke Ron Clark performances.
Now use the same operation to Junxia 29:31 calculation based in his 14:51 5000mPB.
Hard to believe what she did that knowing that she did the last 5000m of that 29:31 in 14:26. If that´s an outstanding performance, never seen in the world of athletics our first cool analytical reaction that´s to doubt, not to accept in ignorance. In my opinion both of all the rest of the arguments - her talent or her training/massage/life style/motivation, that aren´t enough to justify that performance and that doesn´t fit in my logic and running knowledge. I´ve seen nothing compared to that. May the Mexico City Bob Beamon 8.90 long jump that we know that is done in altitude that helps the jumps.
Antonio, you can't argue a runners guily based on her performance. WR holders are freaks of nature who train very hard (and well) and it is the nature of things that times get faster.
If you want to argue her guilt, talk about drug tests, avoidence, coach-history, culture or morality etc. Her times alone do not show shes drugged. Who are we to decide the limits of human ability?
Here's a real quote from a newspaper from ~1912. "The world record for the mile was set today, the time was 4 min 12.8 seconds, the athlete's name is Walter George and in all likelihood this time will never be beaten."
can you give some more infos about Ribeiros training, classic 1-2-3 system?
If so, why you also argue based in her performances and other runner´s perfromances to conclude that she is clean? Or, may be you are allow to use the same kind of arguments to base your point that i don´t?
I´m not able to decide the limits of the human ability. You are right, but this is not the limits of the human ability, that´s the limits of that one particular limited runner, that i know very well what are their limits in all runs except that one.
Junxia performance is accept as a good one according IAAF rules. But you see, sometimes we do lots of mistakes, as that journalist did in 1912 about the mile record.
If all the people thinks as you think and no one thinks as i think about Junxia, the drug tests would never been a procedure, Why to use that if the human limits of the human ability, we can decide that? And with so, today we would have 9.6 in 100m by Ben Johnson, Marion Jones would be the olympic winner for 100m, 200m and high jump, the steeple record would be not 7:53 but 7:45 by a marroco runner, and Mohamed Mourith would be still winning cross runs, and Cathal Lombard would be done 27:00 in the 10000m, and the master Edy would keep winning road runs in America. If actually that doesn´t exists that´s because some years ago, a few ones like me we didn´t believed in some performances, and the some substances were considered illegal and they start doing drug tests. If people thinked like you. there haven´t been drug tests - why so if we may beleive in all perfrromances, after all, the human limits we can´t decide...you said.
The burden of proof lies with the accuser, not the defendent.
If people thinked like you. there haven´t been drug tests - why so if we may beleive in all perfrromances, after all, the human limits we can´t decide...you said.
This is wrong! I welcome drug tests, just as i welcome gender tests (why do you not accuse Junxia of being a man?) BUT i beleive in 'innocent until proven guilty'. Drug tests didnt come about because people like you doubted athletes ability. They came about because athletes suffered the side effects and some died.
I will admit that a positive test from Junxia would not surprise me as much as one from Paula or Ndereba or Kristensen or indeed one from a friend of mine who runs a 3hr marathon BUT that's not proof.
Diego, In your posts you always miss something...About this yoiur sentence you miss 2 things. You are clever to take the arguments to a logic that is no used in this context.
One thing that you miss is that we aren´t in a court, or something similar. We are simply in LRC to post our own ideas. Thus your sentence of the burden of the proof isn´t used here.
Second thing that you miss is that i never accused Junxia. I said that IN MY OPINION i have no doubts that she is doped, what´s different. I also said that according the IAAF rules the 29:31 is a valid performance. It may be for you, for millions of you, but not FOR ME, and i say why i think so. This is the level of discussion that i did enter, not a court judgement. In daily live situation i judge according my own opinion, i don´t judge according legal or factual proof - the same as you for sure.
Or once again don´t you want to permit me do the same exercise that you did or that - to emit an opinion about Junxia 29:31.
Drug tests didnt come about because people like you doubted athletes ability. They came about because athletes suffered the side effects and some died.
In part that´s true, but someway you are wrong again. That´s right that extreme cases as death turn the focus attention for that facts. But if they didn´t suspect that the reason of that death may be the doping use, but any other reason - a natural heart attack, or just the excess of activity, or an excess of food etc etc - they haven´t conclude that doping use that´s wrong, and if you read the IOC or any other drug organisation they say that subtances are allowed, not because that´s dangerous to the life or whatever BUT because that the use certain substances and other uses that improves the your shape condition artificially and that ables you to do performances that otherwise you willn´t be able to do.
Those Chinese women never ran comparable times on any track other than Beijing. There is a simple explanation for this.
The track was some way short of 400 metres.
Wrong. IAAF has to approve the track before any world records can be ratified.
I don't believe the track was 400m whether it was supposed to be measured or not.
I want to use the Junxia case to do my opinion about what I consider a talent runner, male or female. In my opinion in long distance events, if you take 2 runners with similar performances standards, the one that have more talent is the one that trains less ? volume or intensity or both.
There are different kinds of talent. If you have woman runner A with great physical talent who runs 30:01 running 30 miles a week then sure you have a great physical talent.
Then you have runner B who trains 40 km a day for much of the year then runs 29:31.8. Who is the better runner? Well runner B is of course!!!! She ran faster! And also has more honors, championship medals, championship races won, faster times, World Records!!!!
So what is the difference here and what talent is this??? There is the mental talent to have more tenacity, to focus more on one's ONE TRAINING AND RACING (not holding up stupid signs in a stadium), eating holistically, massage, and not something slap stick with creams and all in a parlor but historally for invigoration and naturalization of the system. The Chinese have this system for thousands of years and it is part of their culture.
Wang Junxia accomplished all of these things, thus she was and is the greatest talent for women who has existed so far.
You might think Radcliff is some talent in some ascept, certainly NOT in many others. Fernanda Ribeiro I agree was a super amazing runner and competitor! Much better, in my opinion, than Radcliffe.
You yourself have stated that Fernanda did not have the talent for putting in the training. Thus certainly she ran VERY well for the training she did but, perhaps, did not make the most of herself. And you could see this by looking at her physically.


Hi, I'm Lydia, and I'm a lifestyle blogger over at mademoisellewomen.wordpress.com.
Various things usually, but since this year has been winding down, I have tried to minimise the content.

It's a mess, really.
I don't currently have any..
Medicine pills pocket, an optional left or right pen loop, paper that doesn't bleed, a pocket for sequins, and a diary.
I hadn't known about this before. But I would love to!

Ryan McGinley, Tabor Robak, and Parker Ito
March 23rd – 25th 2017
Team Gallery is pleased to announce our participation in the 2017 edition of Art Basel Hong Kong. This marks our second appearance at the fair. We will present works by Parker Ito, Ryan McGinley and Tabor Robak. We will be located in booth 3C27.
By Parker Ito, the most recent addition to the gallery's roster, we will show works from a new series entitled Capitol Records Shit Toots. Each of these pieces shows a different floral arrangement in the foreground, while the background is always a view of Hollywood and its famous Capitol Records Tower. Ito produces this body by transferring laser toner prints of low-resolution photographs onto linen and then finishing the surfaces irregularly applying varnish. As a result of their idiosyncratic making, the Capitol Records works' genre-status is mysterious: they belong neither to painting nor photography, though donning aspects of both. The gorgeous pictures continue the multimedia artist's ongoing project of collecting, manipulating and re-framing images, a practice that deconstructs modes of pictorial presentation in the digital era.
On view by Ryan McGinley will be two different manifestations of his studio portraiture practice. The artist's more traditionally presented black-and-white photos, first exhibited in his 2010 exhibition at Team Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, represent the artist's initial forêt into studio photography. With this body, he eschewed the bright colors and exuberant outdoor environments that had come to characterize his work, instead engaging with and building upon his medium's most "classical" genre. YEARBOOK, which was debuted three years later and consists of overlapping vinyl prints of his models set against candy-colored backgrounds, retains a sense of the historical, but its vibrant palette and slick, almost commercial production and presentation give the work a radical Pop art quality.
Tabor Robak provides the booth with a brand-new three-channel work, entitled Colorwheel. As with most of his recent output, the piece's pictorial content is generated live, via a custom-built computer. At the previous edition of Art Basel Hong Kong, we presented one of the earliest iterations from this period of the artist's production, marked by a shift from looped animation to these durationally infinite works. Here, Robak's ongoing interest in temporality and, more specifically, fleetingness is particularly explicit: the work uses the time of day to determine its parameters, so its imagery moves faster mid-day than during the night.
Each of these three artists represents a separate approach to artistic production in the digital era. Ito's legendarily prolific practice is a reflection, examination and appraisal of the Internet's visual culture, especially the difficulty of processing the deluge of images we encounter online. McGinley's oeuvre, which pre-dates social media, is characterized by his subjects' distinctly contemporary condition of camera-awareness – a generational characteristic facilitated by the relatively recent proliferation of digital cameras. Robak's iteration of "digital art" perhaps takes the term most literally: the artist is forever chasing the vanguard of computer-generated imagery, seeking out the neoteric modes of artistic production made possible by technological innovations.
Art Basel Hong Kong takes place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, located at 1 Harbour Road in the Wan Chai district. VIP openings occur on Tuesday, 21 March, from 3 to 8pm, and Wednesday, 22 March, from 1pm to 9pm. The fair is open to the public Thursday, 23 March, from 1pm to 8pm, Friday, 24 March, from 1pm to 9pm and Saturday, 25 March, from 11am to 6pm. For further information, please call the gallery at 212.279.9219.

A Mississauga Chief and Methodist minister, the Reverend Peter Jones helped his people survive the impact of European settlement which had brought them close to extinction. As his Band's fishing and hunting territories disappeared, he converted his people to Christianity and induced them to adapt to European ways. A strong advocate of education, Jones was the first to make Ojibwa a written language. In 1826 he encouraged his Band to settle at the Credit River and take up farming. When settler encroachment forced the Band to leave the thriving village it had built, it moved here in 1847.
Peter Jones was a major figure in Canadian history and his legacy should be more celebrated. He was Canada's pioneer in forest conservation and as such was our country's first environmental activist. At the time he was the only person to listen and record the laments of traditional Ojibway elders that they could hear the cries of assault of the forest on those who were burning it down. Jones built a saw mill so the New Credit community could sustainably benefit from their forests and resist temptations to allow it to be clear cut for often fatal whiskey deals.

Tips For Renting a Porta Potty near Vincennes, Indiana.
There are many details that go into managing an awesome event, but usually you would not think a porta potty is one of them. The last thing any competent host wants is a hold up in the restroom lines, resulting in irritated guests and overloaded facilities. Before going ahead with any large event you'll want to make sure you have made preparations to prepare for the inevitable bathroom requirements of your guests with a porta potty solution.
Things to think about when deciding on a portable toilet solution include the number of people attending, the estimated length of the event, whether food and beverages will be hosted and whether the atmosphere of the gathering will be causal or formal. The number of attendees, the length of time they'll be attending and how many refreshments you'll be hosting are all important factors in selecting the right portable toilet choice.
Step one to a successful event is choosing a reliable porta potty business. You'll want to go with a rental company who has a great variety of products and has a fast customer service team. Ask your portable toilet business about how rapidly they can respond in case there is an issue with any of their stalls during your get together, since no one wants to watch their guests exit prematurely due to a problem. You'll have a wide range of porta potty selections to choose from, so you shouldn't have any problems locating the size or numbers that you'll require to host your occasion.
The most ideal choice for basic portable toilet rentals involving smaller events are usually going to be the single-stall option that you often see on construction sites. Forbusier or more upscale events, you can go for the entire bathroom trailer choice, which provides a full restroom area for people to use. Every portable toilet stall you rent should have a sanitation option, toilet paper and paper towels at the very least. If you have a smaller event and just need the most standard of portable toilets, you can always opt for an external hand washing sink. Some of the higher end portable toilets can come with inside running water, soap dispensers and even air fresheners if you need a more classy experience.
One of the most important decisions to make before renting is to figure out how many portable toilets you will require for your crowd. The rule of thumb for porta potty quantities versus crowd size is that you will require one stall for every 10 workers, if you are using them on a work area or longer term project. Recommendations on how many porta potties you will need for your event will vary by vendor, but in general you will require at least 2 stalls for an 8-hour party with 50 people or less. For larger events, such as a wedding or concert with hundreds of guests, you could very well be looking at dozens of stalls required.
There are a variety of situations where you can benefit by getting a porta potty rental on site for any occasion that involves large amounts of people. Corporate functions, charity events, and weddings are just a few situations when it makes sense to have the high end restroom facilities. In these situations, your guests are dressed in nice, and they need crisp, comfortable restroom facilities when they need them. The purpose of these stalls would be to try and recreate the bathroom experience a person would enjoy while at a smaller indoors function.
A good host should also consider cleaning services and resupply of paper products that you will probably need throughout your event for the stalls. This includes aspects such as toilet paper and hand drying refills in addition to cleaning or sanitizing the stalls. You may need to ensure that there are toilet paper supplies available at all times, since the last thing you want at your special occasion is for someone to come up and tell you they require more amenities in the rental toilets.
Typically, porta potty prices may be anywhere from to 5 for one day. To keep costs low you'll need to try and choose a portable toilet company that is as near to your event as possible, that way you don't pay as much for delivery costs. The upscale portable restrooms can possibly run up to 0 per day, and if you desire a fully loaded option you might be looking at forking over as much as 0. Thinking about things such as prices, legnth of your rental and which options to go with are vital when deciding on a rental decision. Regardless of who you choose to fulfill your porta potty requirements, you can't go wrong as long as you're asking the best questions in advance.

International Research and Documentation Centre for War Crimes Trials
In the past, ICWC staff have been able to carry out various interdisciplinary research projects related to war crimes trials and the coping with mass violence.
Within the framework of a German-Chinese research cooperation, German and Japanese war crimes during World War II were investigated. This included in particular testing the use of biological and chemical weapons and conducting medical experiments on thousands of victims. In addition, the ICWC supervised several dissertation projects dedicated to research on the Nuremberg Trial of the Major War Criminals and carried out a research and documentation project to describe, digitise and present the Belgian war crimes trials after World War I and II and trials from the 1990s onwards. Finally, a number of research projects on German, French and British criminal proceedings were carried out.
International Criminal Procedure
International criminal procedure describes, as a generic term, the procedural law used by international criminal courts to enforce international criminal law. Within the framework of this project, particularly critical aspects of international criminal proceedings have been dealt with in various individual projects. This includes questions of witness and victim protection, in particular with regard to the Extraordinary Chambers in Cambodia, the topic of "pre-trial detention in international criminal proceedings - human rights requirements for the implementation and enforcement of pre-trial detention before international criminal courts" as well as an investigation of disclosure rules and their historical development since the Nuremberg Trial of the Major War Criminals, the UN ad hoc Tribunals and the ICC.
Transitional Justice (TJ) is one of the central concepts of peace consolidation in post-war societies that have been developed since the mid-1990s by the international community and global civil society to ensure sustainable peace in post-conflict societies. The following projects were carried out in cooperation with the Center for Conflict Research: Transitional Justice and Reconciliation in Cambodia, European Experiences in Prosecuting Human Rights Violations as well as a Workshop on Transitional Justice. Finally, a separate project examined the role of victims at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal.
Legal Tools
Legal Tools is a virtual library with integrated data management software for international criminal law. The aim is to enable the user to access and manage a multitude of information via the Internet and thereby make practical use of it.
The Legal Tools consist of three parts. The basis is a database, which contains all kinds of sources of international criminal law, such as laws, international treaties, court decisions, essays, etc.
The second level of the Legal Tools consists of a specially created commentary on substantive international criminal law, criminal procedural law and application examples of evidence from international legal practice, the so-called means of proof.
Finally, the third level contains an administration and application software, the so-called case matrix. From here, the other two levels of legal tools can be accessed, but at the same time the software also offers tools for the process management of practical cases, such as the administration of evidence in international criminal proceedings.

Joaquim Gili i Morós (Barcelona, 1916 - 1984) va ser un arquitecte català que formà part del Grup R.

Fill del pintor Baldomer Gili i Roig, es titulà en arquitectura el 1947 a Barcelona. Formà part del Grup R des del 1953, que va agrupar els millors arquitectes catalans de la dècada del 1950 que van propugnar una renovació a partir de tendències italianes. Durant aquesta època Gili va ajudar a reunir material relacionat amb edificis catalans amb influències mediterrànies per les publicacions d'Alberto Sartoris. Va participar en la construcció de l'edifici racionalista de la Seu de l'Editorial Gustavo Gili entre els anys 1954 i 1961, al costat de Francesc Bassó.

Photo Surfaces Capturing SoCal's "Green Fireball"
The sightings come after a series of sky spectacles, including a fireball over Russia
By Samantha Tata and Olsen Ebright	• Published February 21, 2013 • Updated on February 24, 2013 at 1:16 pm
EDITOR'S NOTE: The authenticity of this photo could not immediately be verified. The story has been edited to reflect that.
A photo surfaced Friday afternoon that appeared to capture the bright light seen by dozens of Southern California sky watchers.
About 50 people contacted the American Meteor Society on Thursday with reports of a "green fireball" lighting up the sky. Sightings were reported in Ventura, Anaheim, Van Nuys, Los Angeles, Paso Robles, San Francisco and Santa Barbara, according to the group's website.
coronavirus pandemic 2 hours ago
Photographer Susan Lary of the Southern California Weather Authority said she captured the so-called fireball, and provided an image to NBC News.
Lary's photograph (pictured, above) was taken with a 1-minute exposure in Lancaster, Calif., facing southwest.

"I saw a light and looked directly at the meteor as it came down in the ocean off Corona Del Mar. Bits came off, and it was bright white," Laguna Hills resident Patric Barry wrote in an email to NBC4.
Barry spotted the object out of his living room window about 10:35 p.m.
The sightings come days after Bay Area residents were treated to a light show of their own when a fireball was seen streaking across the sky. Another fireball sighting was reported this month in Florida, but the most spectacular celestial event occurred when a meteor soared over Russia before the rock slammed into Earth's surface, sending shockwaves across a widespread area.
The sightings were reported as a 150-foot asteroid estimated to weigh 143,000 tons -- dubbed 2012 DA14 -- made an historic fly-by.
Correction: A previous version of this article stated the estimated size of DA14 at 50 feet. The correct figure is 150 feet.

Больша́я Новодми́тровская улица — улица на севере Москвы в Бутырском районе Северо-восточного административного округа, между Бутырской улицей и Новодмитровской улицей.

История
Названа в 1951 году по соседней Новодмитровской улице, которая появилось до 1917 года и название которой отражает её более позднее возникновение по сравнению с Дмитровским шоссе, около которого она была проложена. Большая Новодмитровская улица называлась в 1924—1951 годах — Панская улица, ранее — Большая Панская улица (Малая Панская улица — ныне улица Савёловская линия, Панский переулок был ликвидирован в 1930-х годах). Здесь, во дворах Бутырской слободы, в XVII веке были поселены пленные поляки, называемые в народе «паны».

Расположение
Большая Новодмитровская улица отходит направо на восток от Бутырской улицы недалеко от Савёловского вокзала, а затем поворачивает на север и проходит параллельно Бутырской улице до Новодмитровской улицы.

Edit: Solved. Found link on 6750m overclocking thread which allowed me to download updated drivers.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit under boot camp with my 2011 Macbook pro (6750m).
I'm trying to update the graphics drivers (currently 8.812).
When I try to install the AMD Catalyst software,(http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx), I receive an error: AMD Catalyst mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer. Your computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter.
Can you post the link I seem to be running into the same problem!
Also what software does anyone recommend to monitor GPU CPU Battery temperatures on windows 7.
I'm always playing games on my windows 7 like Battlefield 2 and CoD and I haven't noticed my machine get toooo hot, but I am curious as to what it is at, and compare it with others.

[R267 : page 87]
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
VERY confused notions are held by many as to the work of judgment in the future age. The popular idea on the subject being something like this:
The Father, robed as a judge, with stern aspect, is seated on a great white throne. By his side stands the Saviour with loving eyes and pleading face. The world of mankind is marshaled before him. They come up in close ranks, and with downcast faces toward the Judge. The very large majority are commanded to depart toward the left. Trembling with despair they hurry away, and are at once seized by a guard of demons, and swiftly dragged, shrieking with terror, down—down—down. In the advancing throng, there comes now and then one, who is at once recognized by the Saviour as a true Christian, and introduced to the Father as such, who welcomes him to the right hand, where he is immediately crowned, and seated with the angels to view the remainder of the solemn scene. This separating work is to continue until all who have ever lived have passed the tribunal; the whole period of time occupied, being something less than twenty-four hours, thus constituting "the day of judgment." The greater number of these, it is generally thought, have already been once judged (at death) and allotted to their final destiny in heaven or hell, but for some inconceivable reason they are brought again before the judgment seat, and are again remanded to their former condition.
While some features of this picture are drawn from symbolic Bible imagery, the conception as a whole is very far from being a scriptural one. As to the gathering of the world before the Judge in a kind of military review, and the immediate separation of the classes, while it is the likeness in the figure, it is of necessity as far from the real as a type is from its antitype.
THREE GREAT PERIODS OF SEPARATION
are, we think, clearly revealed in God's Word: "The separation of the chaff from the wheat," Matt. 3:10,12; "the tares from the wheat," Matt. 13:37,43; and "the sheep from the goats," Matt. 25:31.
The first separation is in the past, occurring in the "harvest," or end of the Jewish (aion) age. Jesus himself, while on earth, thoroughly purged the floor of the Jewish house, gathered the wheat into the Gospel church, and cast the chaff into a fire, which, culminating at the destruction of Jerusalem, burns even yet against the Jew. So far from marshaling that nation in rank and file before him, they were not even aware of the test then made, and were condemned because they knew not the time of their visitation.—Luke 19:44.
The second great separation was due to take place at the end of this aion [age], i.e., closing period of the Gospel dispensation. This work has actually been going on in our midst, and the world and worldly church know nothing of it. So in the last great harvest in the age of judgment: God's truth, the two-edged sword, will quietly, but surely, do the dividing work; and that Word not spoken but written, will plainly manifest the sheep and the goats.
THE TERM "DAY"
in Bible times, as now, was frequently used to cover a long but definite period; as, for instance, "The day" in which "Jehovah God made the earth and the heavens." Gen. 2:4. "The day of the temptation in the wilderness." Heb. 3:8. [40 years.] "The day of salvation." 2 Cor. 6:2. [Gospel dispensation.]
As to the period comprised in "the day of judgment," if the student will but faithfully use a reference Bible or a concordance, and find the amount and kind of work to be accomplished "in that day," he will soon be glad to accept of Peter's explanation of it, that "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years;" and believing the Revelation of Jesus Christ, rejoice in the promise there given, to "reign with him a thousand years." As to
THE KIND OF JUDGING
which is to be carried on, we must consult the Word if we would get the truth. Turn to the book of "Judges," and we find that after the death of Joshua, the Israelites forsook Jehovah, and worshipped Baal. To bring them to their senses, their enemies were allowed to triumph over them. When they repented, "Jehovah raised up judges, who delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them." For instance, "When the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a deliverer Othniel. And the spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war, and prevailed, and the land had rest for forty years," until Othniel died. Thus it continued through the period of the judges until Samuel, who "judged Israel all the days of his life." When Samuel had grown old, the Elders of Israel asked him for "a King to judge us like all the nations."—1 Sam. 8:5,20.
A judge then, in those days, was a person eagerly sought after; a ruler to be desired; who would deliver his people from oppression, administer justice to the wronged, and bring peace and joy to those over whom he exercised authority.
The world, and even the Church, at the present day, led astray by an unscriptural theology, puts far away the idea of Christ's presence to judge [rule] the world as something to be dreaded by all. Not so the heaven inspired prophets of old. To them it was one grand and glorious epoch, for which, as Paul said, "creation groaneth."
Listen to David and the sweet singers of Israel, in the first [R268 : page 90] psalm sung by the first divinely-appointed choir, at the home bringing of the ark:
"Let the heavens be glad,
And let the earth rejoice:
And let men say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.
Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof:
Let the fields rejoice, and all that are therein.
Then shall the trees of the wood sing aloud,
At the PRESENCE of JEHOVAH,
BECAUSE HE COMETH
O give thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good,
FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER."
We might multiply quotations like the above, but they ought to be familiar to the faithful student of the Word.
did "all the holy prophets since the world began" long for "that day" when the Anointed should be present to rule, to reign, to judge?
WHY does all Christendom of this age shrink at the bare mention of that day? Because they do not comprehend the nature of the work of that day, nor the grandeur of its results, while the prophets spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit of God, who knew what he himself had planned and purposed.
IN "THE DAY OF THE LORD,"
as in the days of creation, there is an evening and a morning. So the Jews kept their time: beginning their day with evening. It is God's order—first the cross, then the crown. The night was forty years long to the children of Israel. To the Gospel church it has been many centuries. So the nations in the coming age must first run the race before they receive the prize for which they run. And during their trial, as in ours, there must be "weeping for a night; but joy cometh in the morning."
Many, who have failed to "search the Scriptures," as commanded, have seen only this night of darkness; and it has hung before them like a funeral pall, cutting off the light of glory beyond.
A DARK NIGHT
is indeed closing over a sleeping church and a blind world, during which many woes will be poured out upon them. But when they have well learned the lesson of obedience through suffering, as all past overcomers have, they reap a blessed reward.
The day of judgment, then, divides itself into two parts. First, a "time of trouble," during which the nations will be subdued, and humbled, and taught the lesson of Nebuchadnezzar their type, "that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will." Secondly, a morning, in which the Sun of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings, driving away the mists of ignorance and superstition; destroying the miasma of sin, and bringing light and life and love to the downtrodden sons of men. During the first-named period, such scriptures as the following have a fulfillment:
"Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. [Symbolical of a spiritual night.] And I will punish the world for their evil and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible."—Isa. 13:9,11. "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou "shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."—Psa. 2:8,9.
Unquestionably the kingdoms of this world are loyal to their prince. They are mainly controlled by evil, selfish, corrupt men, [R268 : page 92] the agents and representatives of the "Prince of darkness," who do his will.
When the new Prince takes control, the dominion is to be given into new hands, and the Lord proclaims: "I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms and I will destroy the kingdoms of the Gentiles."—Hag. 2:22.
Thus by "breaking in pieces"—throwing down—"the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ," who shall reign forever.—Rev. 11:15. Under the new rule there will be new rulers, and we read, "The saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, (dominion) and possess the kingdom forever."—Daniel 7:18. Again, "All nations, tongues, people, etc., shall serve and obey him." At present they do not, and they must be brought, by chastisement, to submission; and this is accomplished in "The day of the Lord." The overthrow of nations and society will necessarily involve individual trouble. But, "When the judgments of the Lord are in the earth the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness."—Isa. 26:9.
"That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess. I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them, in the day of the Lord's wrath."—Zeph. 1:15. "Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. For then I will turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent."—Zeph. 3:8. So extreme is the trouble here described, that the world is said to be burned up by the Lord's anger—yet it has a good effect, for after all the indignation against and destruction of governments, the people remain. [R268 : page 93] [The destruction is one of governments,] and having experienced the misrule of the "Prince of this world" they are prepared to have the Lord take "his great power and rule," and to "serve the Lord with one consent."
Rev. 6:15, figuratively describes that time of falling of kingdoms when every mountain (kingdom) and island shall be moved. The kings and chief ones, as well as bondmen, will recognize in this trouble that "the great day of his wrath is come," and will seek to make alliances and to hide themselves from the sure coming storm. They will seek to be covered and protected by the great mountains (kingdoms) of earth and to be hid in the great rocks of this world's societies, (Masonic, Odd-Fellows, etc.;) but they shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's anger, for "all the kingdoms of the world shall be thrown down," and instead of these mountains (kingdoms) "the kingdom of the Lord becomes a great mountain, and fills the [R269 : page 93] whole earth."—Daniel 2:35,45. Malachi 4:1 describes the coming day of trouble and sees the anger of the Lord there displayed—"the fire of God's jealousy." "Behold the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble, and the day that cometh shall burn them up." Here the wicked are symbolized by stubble, God's wrath by fire, and the righteous by "calves of the stall." Vs. 2.
"The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted;...Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the ends of the earth: he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."—Psa. 46:6,10. How does he make wars to cease? Evidently by the "desolations" above mentioned. The nations will be so satiated with bloodshed; and by bitter experience, will so realize the misery of injustice, and oppression, and sin, that they will loathe themselves and their ways, and will willingly turn and seek for [R269 : page 94] purity and peace. But to produce this effect, the command will first go forth: "Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles: Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come forth:
BEAT YOUR PLOWSHARES INTO SWORDS,
and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong."—Joel 3:9,10. The dreadful lesson of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, will be learned in time, and well learned, for "thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power."—Psa. 110:3. Then after they have been brought to a condition of willingness to let "this man (the Christ of God) reign over them," we find as a result of his judgship, they shall
BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES,
and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."—Isa. 2:4.
The preceding verses tell us when this blessed time will come, and also other events in this glorious day of Christ's presence, as judge over all the earth. "It shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain [government or kingdom] of the Lord's house, ['whose house are we'—Heb. 3:6.] shall be in the top of the mountains, [place of power], and shall be exalted above the hills, [kingdoms of earth], and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the MOUNTAIN of Jehovah, to the HOUSE of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion [the New Jerusalem—heavenly government] shall go forth the law and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem" [restored earthly Jerusalem and her priesthood.]—Isa. 2:3.
At this time (end of "time of trouble,") the nations will have been subdued, and gladly they will submit to the righteous control of the new heavenly kingdom; and here is the introduction of the Millennial reign. Notice, they say: "Come, let [R269 : page 95] us go up to the Mountain of the Lord,"—or, let us submit to the new kingdom of God,—"and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." After the terrible experience of the time of trouble, they will be glad to forsake their own ways. How gladly will they then learn that his "ways are ways of pleasantness, and all (his) paths are peace." Here will be the silver lining of that dark storm-cloud of the "day of wrath"—"When the judgments of the Lord are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness."—Isa. 26:9.
"Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face."
During the one thousand years thus introduced, Satan is bound, evil restrained, that the people may be deceived no more, and the Lord and his Bride (the saints), as kings and priests, shall rule and teach them. None need then say to his neighbor: Know thou the Lord? for all shall know him, from the least to the greatest. The way of life will then be so plain that the wayfaring man, though a fool, shall not err therein. Yes, God's Word will then be an open book to all the world, and all its present seeming contradictions will then shine forth as beautifully harmonious as they now do to us, who have come to understand the glorious plan of the ages.
A thousand years of such ruling and teaching! How it will lift from the redeemed world the curse—ignorance, misery and death; restoring perfection, harmony, peace and beauty. This thousand years is the time, during which all the nations are gathered before the judgment seat of Christ. It is their judgment day—one thousand years.
During all that time, God's truth, as a two-edged sword, will be quietly, but surely as now, doing a separating work, dividing the sheep from the goats,—Matt. 25:31-46. The great mass of mankind will learn God's ways, and delight to walk therein. These he calls his sheep—followers, and during the age they are [R269 : page 96] gradually gathered to his right hand—place of favor—and in the end of the age the Lord thus addresses them: "Come ye blessed ...inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
The earthly kingdom or dominion was intended and prepared for human (earthly) beings. It was given originally to the earthly Adam. ["Let him have dominion over the beasts of the field, the fowl of heaven, and the fish of the sea."] He was to be the Lord of Earth, governing it in harmony with the heavenly government. This dominion he lost through disobedience and sin, and it passed under the control of "him that hath the power of death, that is, the devil"—the prince of this world, "who now ruleth in the hearts of the children of disobedience." This dominion, purchased or redeemed for mankind by Jesus (and his body,) is to be restored to them, when they have been restored to the perfect condition, where they shall again be in harmony with God's government, and be able to wisely exercise the governing power. To these the Lord will say, "Come, inherit the kingdom prepared for you." [Let no one confound this earthly dominion with the spiritual—heavenly kingdom inherited by Jesus and shared by his Bride—the overcomers of the Gospel Age. "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne."]
Why, say they, are we considered worthy of such honor? Because, replies the King, you have done good unto some of these—God's children—"my brethren"—your neighbors and brethren also—and thus have showed your ready obedience to the one great law of the heavenly kingdom which includes all others—Love. But there will be some, even in that glorious time of favor and blessing, who will not have this man (Christ) to rule over them, and who show their indisposition to do God's will by neglecting others and selfishly gratifying their own desires. But one will (the will of God) is to regulate and continually control the universe, and that will or law is expressed in one word—LOVE—for "God is Love," and "Love is the fulfilling of the Law."
During the Millennial reign Christ "puts all enemies under his feet"—puts down all rule, authority and power opposed to God, ultimately destroying "the goats." "These shall go forth into aionion cutting off;" [death] (Matt. 25:46, Diaglott), i.e., these shall be forever cut off from that life which they had a second time forfeited. They had been redeemed from the Adamic death by the precious blood of Christ, but having despised the privileges thereafter offered under his kingdom, "there remaineth henceforth no more sacrifice for sins." The destruction of Satan is due at the same time.—Rev. 20:10 and 15.
Thus, with all things subjected to the will of God, the Son shall deliver up earth's dominion to God, even the Father, (1 Cor. 15:28), whose will then will be "in all," and done in earth as in heaven.
Then the first dominion, lost by Adam, will have been restored in the Second Adam, (the spiritual), and the restored race will be so in harmony with God as to rule their dominion in accordance with his law—LOVE.
A better illustration of man's dominion over earth, yet subservient to the laws of God's kingdom, cannot be made than that which is afforded in the government of this country. Each State is permitted to govern itself—make its own laws, etc., so long as it is in harmony with the government of the United States. Just so the dominion of Earth, which has been preparing for mankind since the foundation of the world, will be restored to him, when he is prepared to rule it in harmony with the heavenly kingdom—which kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, enduring throughout all generations.—Psa. 145:13.
They shall have everlasting life, as Adam had it, viz., so long as they remain obedient to God's will, which will be ever, since they will have learned the evil effects of any other way than his.
With these thoughts of the "Day of Judgment" and its beneficial results to mankind, we are prepared to read intelligently Psalm 47, which we quote:—
"JEHOVAH REIGNETH;
Let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.
Clouds and darkness are round about him:
Righteousness and judgment [justice] the establishment of his throne.
A fire goeth before him,
And burneth up his enemies round about,
His lightning [truth] enlighteneth the world:
The earth [nations] saw and trembled.
The hills [earthly governments] melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah.
At the presence of the LORD of the whole earth.
The Heavens [immortalized saints in heavenly places] declare his
righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
Zion heard and was glad:
And the daughters of Judah rejoiced,
Because of thy JUDGMENTS, O Jehovah."
WOULD THERE BE ROOM FOR THEM ON THE
EARTH IF THE BILLIONS OF THE DEAD
WERE RESURRECTED?
This is an important point. What if we should find that while the Bible asserts a resurrection for all men, by actual measurement they could not find a footing on the earth—what then? It is frequently asserted, by people who should know better, that the earth is one vast cemetery. Now let us see; figure it out for yourself and you will find this an error: you will find that there is room enough for the "restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets."—Acts 3:21.
Let us, in this calculation, assume that it is six thousand years since the creation of man, and that there are one billion four hundred million people now living on the earth—(the largest estimate.) Our race began with one pair, but that none should think us illiberal, let us calculate that there were as many people then, as now—(one billion four hundred millions,) and further, that there never was less than that number at any time. (Actually the flood reduced the population to eight persons.) [R270 : page 99] Again we will be liberal and estimate three generations to a century, or thirty-three years to a generation, while, according to Gen. 5, there were but eleven generations from Adam to the flood, a period of one thousand six hundred and fifty-six years, or about one hundred and fifty years to the generation.
Now let us see: six thousand years are sixty centuries; three generations to each would give us one hundred and eighty generations (since Adam.) One billion four hundred million to a generation would give two hundred and fifty-two billion as the total number of our race from creation until now, according to our liberal estimate, which is probably about twice the actual number.
Where shall we find room enough for this great multitude? Let us measure the land. The State of Texas (United States) contains two hundred and thirty-seven thousand square miles. There are twenty-seven million eight hundred and seventy-eight thousand four hundred square feet in a mile, and, therefore, six trillion six hundred and seven billion one hundred and eighty million eight hundred thousand square feet in Texas. Allowing ten square feet as the surface covered by each dead body, we find that Texas, as a cemetery, would at this rate hold six hundred and sixty billion seven hundred and eighteen million eighty thousand bodies, or nearly three times as many as we calculated had lived on the earth.
A person, standing, occupies about one and two-third square feet of space. At this rate the present population of the earth (one billion four hundred million) could stand on an area of eighty-six square miles; an area much less than that of the city of London, England, or the city of Philadelphia, United States. And the island of Ireland (area thirty-two thousand square miles) would furnish standing-room for more than twice the number of people who have ever lived on the earth, even at our liberal calculation.

2019 To Be Dedicated to Emiliano Zapata

By THE PULSE NEWS MEXICO
As millions of Mexicans look forward to an uncertain future in terms of transport because of the growing nationwide shortage of gasoline and other fuels, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) decided to look instead to the country's past with the announcement on Friday, Jan. 11, that 2019 will be dedicated to the memory of Mexican revolutionist Emiliano Zapata Salazar.
Speaking at his daily early morning press conference at the National Palace and surrounded by descendants of the Morelos-born peasant leader of Mexico's 1910 Revolution, AMLO said that the year, which marks the 100th anniversary of the death of the so-called Caudillo del Sur (Military Leader of the South), will be dedicated to helping the nation's most underprivileged and marginalized communities, especially young people, the handicapped and the elderly.
AMLO said that "for the good of all," he planned to put into a practice a program dedicated "first and foremost to the poor."
During the conference, the leftist populist Mexican president, who took office on Dec. 1, also announced a program to provide apprenticeship programs to at least 2.6 million youths, with a monthly salary of 3,600 pesos during their training period.
AMLO also announced a program to support up to 1 million impoverished physically and mentally challenged Mexicans with a monthly stipend of 1,274 pesos, as well as doubling the monthly stipend to 1,200 pesos a month for up to 8 million underprivileged elderly.
But the majority of the press attending the press conference were far more concerned with the growing shortage of gasoline that has now seriously affected at least seven states, as well as Mexico City, asking what the president was doing to solve the problem, which is rooted in a program he has launched to combat the theft of the precious fuel.
AMLO said that more 60 billion pesos in fuel were stolen last year as a result of impunity within the state-run Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) oil company and a corrupt system of distribution.
In order to halt this illicit loss of oil, AMLO has ordered the closure of a number of gasoline ducts across Mexico
, particularly in the central region of the country, and the use of more than 4,000 members of the military to supervise the remaining ducts.
To compensate for the areas where gasoline is no longer being distributed via the ducts, AMLO had enlisted a system of tankers to handle distribution, but the tankers have not been able to meet demand and shortages are rampant, with long lines at many filling stations snaking around blocks and many other stations either closed or limiting sales to 10 liters.
In response to the media questions, AMLO repeated his appeal for the Mexican people to be patient while the gasoline situation normalizes and said that his government is working diligently to resolve the problem.
He also pointed out that since he launched the program to halt the robbery gasoline, the government has been able to prevent about 300 million pesos in gasoline robberies.
