The City of Ontario asked its wireless service provider for details about the text messages sent and received by the city's police officers, when their texts regularly exceeded the monthly limit for which the city had contracted. Officer Quon was disciplined for violating police department rules when the city discovered that he sent numerous personal messages, some of them sexually explicit, both on and off duty. He and other individuals who communicated with him sued the city, arguing that the city's actions represented an unreasonable search in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, the privacy clause found in Article I, section 1 of the California constitution, and also the federal Stored Communications Act (SCA).
The US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, citing the Supreme Court's 1987 ruling in O'Connor v. Ortega, 480 US 709, found that Quon had a reasonable expectation of privacy in his message content and that the city's examination of his text messages was not reasonable, even though there was a legitimate, work-related purpose for auditing the officer's wireless usage. The appellate court noted that the city could have used less intrusive means to review wireless usage and charges. The appellate decision drew widespread attention, including a 2008 article in the Los Angeles Daily Journal by my colleague Tanya Forsheit. Tanya pointed out that while the Fourth Amendment applies directly only to monitoring by government employers, a restrictive interpretation under the California constitution's privacy clause (or the SCA) could affect communications monitoring by private-sector employers as well.
Petitioners' warrantless review of Quon's pager transcript was reasonable under the O'Connor plurality's approach because it was motivated by a legitimate work-related purpose, and because it was not excessive in scope.
The city had a reasonable interest in not controlling excessive personal use of communications devices, and also in setting an appropriate level of city-funded communications so that officers were not forced to pay for work-related communications. The Court observed that the city's review was limited to a two-month sample of messages and that the city redacted Quon's messages sent and received while he was off duty, to limit the intrusion into his personal life.
The Court noted that any reasonable privacy expectations were probably limited by the city's Computer Policy, which stated (as do the policies of many employers) that users "should have no expectations of privacy or confidentiality" when using city computers. A subsequent memo made it clear that this policy extended as well to communications devices furnished by the city. Quon argued that this policy was modified by his superior's subsequent verbal assurance that there would be no audit as long as officers paid for excess text usage. The Court declined to make a finding on that argument, assuming for purposes of the decision that Quon had some reasonable expectation of privacy. But the Court ruled that the city's search of message content was reasonable because it was undertaken for a work-related purpose and used measures that were not excessively intrusive in the circumstances. And because the employer's search was reasonable, the other parties who sent messages to Quon could not prevail on their argument that the review of message content violated their own Fourth Amendment rights.
The Supreme Court justices often disagree on what is a "reasonable expectation of privacy" and whether the government entity in question has appropriately limited the scope of its intrusion into private life. The O'Connor opinion, for example, was rendered by only a plurality of the justices. But Quon is a unanimous decision on its results, with limited concurring opinions by Justices Stevens and Scalia.
The Court must proceed with care when considering the whole concept of privacy expectations in communications made on electronic equipment owned by a government employer. The judiciary risks error by elaborating too fully on the Fourth Amendment implications of emerging technology before its role in society has become clear.
• Employers should establish the level of privacy expectations with a coherent policy that covers all the technologies deployed.
• Employers are at risk when they delve into the content of messages or computer searches, or ask their service providers to do so, without a clearly articulated, work-related purpose (such as a targeted investigation of suspected wrongdoing or a non-investigative financial or administrative objective).
• Content review should be structured so as to limit privacy intrusions. The Quon decision emphasizes that this does not mean the "least intrusive search practicable" but simply a search reasonably limited to the employer's legitimate, work-related objectives.
• A reasonably structured review of employee communications can also serve as a defense against privacy claims by non-employees who communicated with the employee.

Jerusalem holy site closure 'declaration of war' - Abbas
Prophecy Sign: Middle-East war over Jerusalem and the Temple Mount
Could the current fight over the status of the Temple Mount be the event that sparks another Israel/Arab war, (perhaps the Psalm 83 battle)? It seems very likely that there will be another major Middle-East war which will set the stage for the implementation of the Antichrist brokered false seven peace covenant which will also allow for the construction of the third Jewish Temple.
It's hard to foresee any other series of events that would allow for both a Middle-East peace agreement and a Jewish Temple being built on the Temple mount, (alongside the current Muslim shrines), given the vitriolic hatred of the Muslim/Arabs towards the Jews.
I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Zechariah 14:2 NIV

How the Jewish state is being demonized
Prophecy Sign: Israel will be one its own during the coming Tribulation period
Right on time, the entire world is shifting from the support of Israel to the delegitimization of the Jewish state. We say right on time, because if we truly are at the end of this dispensation and the coming Tribulation is at the door, then according to bible prophecy we should expect the world to be increasing in its hatred of the Jews and the state of Israel. That will include the nations that presently consider themselves allies of Israel.
In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Joel 3:1-2 NIV
How the Jewish state is being demonized Over the last few decades, intellectuals of the Left, academics, the UN, human rights organizat…
Life under Obama sucks. And these numbers prove it
Prophecy Sign: Government corruption and economic distress
We at this blog, do not live in America, (Canadians we are...eh?), so we can't say first hand what things have been like under President Barack Obama. However much anecdotal evidence, (like the article below), quite clearly says...NOT GOOD, and not about to get much better. The two bible passages below, while not necessarily prophetic in nature, certainly do a good job describing the style of governance and economic distress that will be common place at the end of days, prior to Christ's return.
Both hands are skilled in doing evil; the ruler demands gifts, the judge accepts bribes, the powerful dictate what they desire— they all conspire together. Micah 7:3 IV
For he has oppressed the poor and left them destitute; he has seized houses he did not build. Surely he will have no respite from his craving; he cannot save himself by his treasure. Nothing is left for him to devour; his prosperity will not endure. In the m…
The Pope's Embrace Of Evolution Brings Us One Step Closer To A One World Religion
Prophecy Sign: The coming global false religious system
The new Pope is like a magnet to the world. He says all the right things that the world wants to hear. From the "who am I to judge", acceptance of Homosexuals, to his most recent stance regarding God and his creation, (that God does not have a magic wand and requires evolution to achieve his goals).
This endearment to the world and other religious faiths is setting the stage for the creation of the future global one world religious system which will be headed by the future False Prophet.
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. The name written on her forehead was a mystery: Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes, and of the abominations of the earth. Revelation 17:4-5 NIV

5 Places Where World War Three Could Break Out
Prophecy Sign: Rumors of Wars
Rumors of war are increasing, and as the article below points out, there are five places that could launched a world war three situation. Those include; The Korean Peninsula, India/Pakistan, Middle-East, Russia/NATO, China/America.
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Matthew 24:6 NIV
It seems these days the world is literally on fire. Conflict continues on and off in Ukraine, there are tensions throughout the Asia-Pacific, Ebola is on the rampage, ISIS continues its bloody war of attrition throughout Syria, into Iraq and on and on. Yet, could something even worse be on the horizon—a conflict with more-severe global ramifications? Some of the predictions below envisage regime collapse that leads to war, while the specter of a terrorist WMD attack has the capacity to turn apocalyptic very quickly. That said, this …
Trending: More college students support post-birth abortion
Prophecy Sign: Increasing depravity
How is it members of a society could actually think it justifiable and proper to terminate the life of a child right up to the age of 4 or 5 years? As with any other depraved concept, the easiest way to achieve this goal is to indoctrinate the youth. Perhaps by holding courses at a University extolling the virtues of terminating the life of the pre-born.
Wickedness is increasing with reckless abandon in this world of our. We must be at the time of the end.
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:12-13 NIV
A trend seen by prolife activists that frequently engage college students on campuses nationwide is the growing acceptance of post-birth abortion, or killing the infant after he or she is born, campus prolife outreach leaders tell The College Fix. Anecdotal evidence by leaders of prolife grou…
So, remember that volcano in Iceland? It's still erupting like crazy
Prophecy Sign: Earthquakes and volcanoes in diverse places
As we have pointed out in recent blog entries, the number of large earthquakes above 6.0 in scale has greatly increased over the last decades. In addition to the rise in earthquakes, there is the increase in active volcanoes, especially along the so called "Ring of Fire". Some of these volcanoes are massive in scale and would have the ability to make short work of the islands they sit upon.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger. Isaiah 13:13 NIV
Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano has now emitted the most lava of any volcano in that geologically active country since at least 1947, and continues with no sign of stopping. The volcano is also emitting clouds of toxic sulfur dioxide gases, which have made it all the way to Europe at times, t…
Genetic engineering takes steps towards building superhumans
Prophecy Sign: Increased knowledge - Transhumanism and the Mark of the Beast
Between the genetic revolution and the technological revolution, mankind will soon have the ability to become Transhuman; Something resembling a human cyborg, (technology), or a human hybrid, (genetics). We suspect the future 'mark of the Beast' has much to do with the current genetic revolution, and this mark will be Satan's way of corrupting the image of God, (the human genetic code), by inserting his own corruption, (the mark), into the mix.
Is this why the bible makes clear that anyone who takes the Antichrists 'mark', will not be granted any mercy and will suffer full penalty of judgement? The person taking the future 'mark' will have become unredeemable in the sense that they are no longer fully human.
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will …
Ebola outbreak: Cases pass 10,000, WHO reports
Prophecy Sign: Pestilence, plagues and disease The Ebola pandemic in Western Africa is at no end as it continues to spread into new cities and nations, (Mali being the newest). While Ebola has reached into Europe and America, it is by no means at the level of worry as say, the upcoming Flu season will be. However, that could all change rapidly if one of the strains of Ebola should happen to morph into an airborne strain.
In the meantime, we believe that the articles below should be viewed in the light of warning and awareness, and with the knowledge that bible prophecy does warn us that global pandemics are on the way for the coming Tribulation period.
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. Revelation 6:8 NIV
The number of cases in the Ebola…
Jerusalem is Simmering: 1,000 Additional Forces Sent to Capital
Prophecy Sign: Jerusalem, the cup of trembling
God Almighty warned that Jerusalem would be at the center of world news and that nations would gather against her, with the city being divided. Already the signs of this division and siege are becoming apparent as things heat up between the Jews and Muslims.
I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. Zechariah 12:2-3 NIV
As a result of the recent escalation of terror and violence in Jerusalem, law enforcement agencies are working Sunday to bring more security forces to the capital. An additional 1,000 Israeli Police and Border Patrol forces will be on hand to oversee security in eastern Jerusalem. Escalated tension…
Solar Storm 14 Times Larger Than Earth Could Unleash A Society-Crippling Electromagnetic Pulse
Prophecy Sign: Signs in the Sun, Moon and stars You know all those clever and cool electronic gadgets that you lined up for just to be the first on the block to have it? Well if a huge crippling solar storm were to smack the earth with a direct hit, all electronics would go totally dark, and your new toy would be as useful as a screen door on a submarine. So have fun with it while you can.
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. Luke 21:25a NIV
The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. Revelation 16:8 NIV
Did you know that a storm 14 times larger than the Earth is happening on the sun right now? Earlier this week, it unleashed a flare which was a million times more powerful than all of the nuclear weapons in existence combined. Fortunately, that flare was not directed at us. But now the area of the sun where this solar stor…
Half the World's Population Will Have Chip-Based National Electronic Identity (eID) Cards by 2018
Prophecy Sign: The coming "Mark of the Beast" identification system
Speaking of increased knowledge and hi-tech creations, (see our other blog entry of today regarding increased knowledge), the idea of a national electronic ID personally inserted onto or into the skin is no longer the thing of science fiction but is science fact. By the year 2018 half the worlds population will have a chip based ID card, and already hi-tech firms are working on a digital tattoo which will take all your personal information and embed it onto your hand, (or perhaps your forehead).
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless the had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. Revelation 13:16-17 NIV
Leading identity analyst firm Acuity M…
Rise of the machines
Prophecy Sign: The increase in knowledge
The bible contains some very science fiction like prophecies. For instance, a demonic army unleashed from the abyss of earth, people seeking death but not finding it, and a image of the Antichrist that actually has the ability to speak and can order the deaths of millions who refuse to take a mark.
Only those people alive during the coming Tribulation period will see just what all these prophecies will become and how they will be fulfilled. One thing is clear, we are at a point in human history when knowledge is increasing exponentially, and humanity could soon be usurped and destroyed by his own mad creations of super intelligence, (the image of the Beast??), among other things.
But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase. Daniel 12:4 NIV
They can tackle increasingly complex tasks with an almost human-like intellig…
15 'Signs of the Times' Indicating Judgment
Prophecy Sign: Increasing godlessness
So when you read the Apostle Paul's warning to young Mr, Timothy, about what the world would look like at the end of days, and you compare that to the 15 points below, the two lists equate rather ominously. Thus it's a no-brainer to suggest that we are indeed at the end of days.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Timothy 3:2-5 NIV
The Bible warns us about saying "everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation" (1 Pet. 3:4) when judgment is at hand. We know that God is "patient not wanting anyone to perish" (v.…
World War 3? Russia says U.S. to blame, activist calls Vladimir Putin a 'threat'
Prophecy Sign: Wars and Rumors of Wars
The world is becoming ever more perilous as war drums continue to beat louder. Both North Korea and Iran continue to work on their respective nuclear warfare programs, while a major backer of both those states continues to pound its own world war three drum, (that being Russia and it's leader, Vladimir Putin).
When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Mark 13:7 NIV
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword. Revelation 6:4 NIV
Is World War 3 closer than some Americans might think? Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, gave a public speech this week in which he blamed the U.S. for problems in the Ukraine as well as terrorism in the Middle East. BBC News report…
Climate change PROVED to be 'nothing but a lie', claims top meteorologist
Prophecy Sign: Roaring and tossing of the seas - Anomalous weather patterns
There are many politicians and bureaucrats alike that continue to pound the drum that the world is doomed from global climate change. Even going so far as to hand out government grants to theater companies who produce such luminary works as "Kill Climate Deniers" However, a great number of PhD scientists have come to their own conclusion that man-made climate change does not exist. Why the dichotomy? Because one group, (the politicians), is intent on bringing the globe closer to global governance, (the one world government). The climate debate makes for a convenient issue to hang the global government hat.
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Luke 21:25 NIV
John Coleman, who co-founded the Weather Channel, shocked a…
Canadian Parliament under lockdown after gunmen 'killed soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial before opening fire in the Parliament halls'
Prophecy Sign: Perilous times - Ethnos against Ethnos
The situation in Ottawa is still ongoing as we post this blog entry. Latest reports indicated that a Canadian soldier was shot and killed at the war memorial site on Parliament hill. The gunman was subsequently terminated inside the Canadian Parliament buildings after a volley of shoots were fired. Reports also indicate that there may have been two other civilians wounded in the altercation. Police reports have also indicated that this may be only a long gunman situation, and that there are no further shooters involved. This shooting and the murder of the Canadian soldier in Quebec of a couple days ago may be related in the fact that the perpetrators where quite likely radicalized Islamists, although that is yet to be confirmed.
We ask that you pray for the families involved and for all Soldiers and first responders that risk their lives on a daily basis to maintain the freedoms we all take for granted.
This world is getting mor…
Religious hatred, wealth inequality top global threat poll
Prophecy Sign: The rise of the Antichrist
A great many people worldwide are either concerned about growing religious hatred or economic inequality. Other concerns included nuclear war, environmental concerns and infectious disease outbreaks. These are all global issues that the world is looking for solutions to, and for someone to step forward with the answers.
The bible tells us that just such a person will emerge on the scene with seemingly all the answers. This person will be able to once and for all negotiate peace in the middle-east, will implement a brand new economic world order, will bring all faiths together under one umbrella. To the world it will seem that the long awaited messiah will have arrived, (Buddha Maitreya, Muslim Mahdi, Judaism Messiah, Christian Christ). However this person will be a false Messiah, (the Antichrist), and his utopian ideals will quickly change to that of war and destruction.
In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completel…
Large earthquakes have risen by over 450% since 1900 but that's not the whole story!
Prophecy Sign: Earthquakes in diverse places
Large earthquakes have been on the increase for a century and the earths magnetic field is due for a pole shift. Sounds like the earth is getting close to a date with destiny, (that great and terrible day of the Lord - the Tribulation).
The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind; so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls--never to rise again. Isaiah 24:20 NIV
We are often told earthquakes have increased but without the actual facts, so I have done some number crunching and gone all the way back to 1900 to the present day, you might find what I have discovered interesting! I accessed the earthquake information web-site USGS and downloaded every quake of a magnitude 6 or greater and fed the information into a series of graphs, the results as you can see above are outstanding! In the year 1900 our planet recorded 22 ear…
Iran's Red Line: Centrifuges for 38 A-Bombs Per Year
Prophecy Sign: The future Middle-East wars - Iran, (Persia/Elam)
With ISIS making all the news of late, the issue of Iran's nuclear ambitions has been sitting on the backburner. But that may all change very rapidly in the next weeks as the November deadline for an agreement between Iran and the P5+1 nations fast approaches. As for Israel, the Jewish State is greatly concerned that a bad deal is in the works, which may mean Israel will finally take matters into her own hand, (perhaps a unilateral strike against the Iranian nuclear program).
A prophecy in the book of Jeremiah refers to a region of present day Iran, (Elam), which houses the Iranian nuclear program. In the prophecy we are told that the military might of Elam is destroyed with many citizens of the nation being scattered across the globe, (nuclear fallout?).
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might. I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four …
Pope Francis: 'God is not afraid of new things'
Prophecy Sign: The last days Church, (growing apostasy) If you are found waffling on a issue or refuse to give a clear definitive answer, you should and will be called upon it. Such is the case with many Christian leaders who refuse to call sin, sin and refuse to make it clear whether they stand by biblical doctrine or whether they have ditched sound doctrine in order to south the ears of the offended. The head Pastor of the Hillsong mega Churches found this out for himself this past week.
As for the Pope, he just found out that he is not so infallible after all, and that even his edicts and leanings will not go unchallenged if they go against long held Catholic church doctrine.
All of this shows how wishy-washy a large segment of Christendom is becoming in its haste to become more relevant and tolerant to the masses of unbelievers. Doctrine is being tossed aside or disregarded in favor of sweet nothings that appeal to the carnal mind. This is a clear sign of the last days church.

Amazon has consistently proven that it is one of the leading innovators in the internet economy (having announced last year that it would start delivering packages via drone soon.) Now, Amazon has set its sights on another vertical – the smartphone market, with the recent release of the Fire Phone. The phone offers a number of groundbreaking features, including a 3D screen and head sensors. Most notable, however, is the Firefly feature.
Firefly leverages unprecedented object detection technology, allowing individuals to point their cameras at nearly 100 million unique objects that Amazon can recognize. These objects can range from barcodes to book covers. Customers will have the ability to instantly pull up background and pricing information about the object, and purchase via Amazon. Firefly also allows for song-recognition (a la Shazam) that lets users activate Firefly while music is playing, which the system then identifies and can download. The same is true for hundreds of thousands of DVDs and TV shows, which can be downloaded on the fly.
Amazon was able to create this platform because of major advancements in mobile hardware, cloud software and big data analytics. With Firefly, Amazon literally lets people analyze the world around them and purchase what they want – improving on their already simplified one-click buying approach. The Fire Phone will give Amazon a more complete view of their consumers' behavior and an unprecedented amount of market analytics. By knowing the things that people take pictures of, listen to and purchase, Amazon will have an understanding of individual consumer preference that rivals Google.
Firefly will likely ignite a debate about the role of big data analysis in ecommerce and the privacy considerations that are associated. As Firefly uploads and analyzes the user's preferences, will consumers have an opportunity to "opt out" of having their information tracked?
Nevertheless, Firefly will likely be examined by industry analysts and Amazon's competitors as a platform that can connect consumers with the products they want. We look forward to following the development of this trend as Amazon's Firefly matures and as other companies learn to leverage advancements like these to their own benefit.
What do you think about Amazon's recent announcement? Do you have a unique perspective on mobile hardware, cloud computing or ecommerce? Leave a comment below, or tweet us at @RHStrategic with the hashtag #RHetoricBlog.

American Pandemic
The Lost Worlds of the 1918 Influenza Epidemic
Nancy Bristow
Uncovers the social and cultural history of the 1918-1919 epidemic in the United States through a wide range of perspectives.
Argues that, contrary to the flu being an indiscriminate scourge, social identity was key in shaping experiences of the pandemic.
Exposes Americans' frustration with the handling of the pandemic by public health authorities.
Between the years 1918 and1920, influenza raged around the globe in the worst pandemic in recorded history, killing at least fifty million people, more than half a million of them Americans. Yet despite the devastation, this catastrophic event seems but a forgotten moment in our nation's past.
American Pandemic offers a much-needed corrective to the silence surrounding the influenza outbreak. It sheds light on the social and cultural history of Americans during the pandemic, uncovering both the causes of the nation's public amnesia and the depth of the quiet remembering that endured. Focused on the primary players in this drama—patients and their families, friends, and community, public health experts, and health care professionals—historian Nancy K. Bristow draws on multiple perspectives to highlight the complex interplay between social identity, cultural norms, memory, and the epidemic. Bristow has combed a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, oral histories, memoirs, novels, newspapers, magazines, photographs, government documents, and health care literature. She shows that though the pandemic caused massive disruption in the most basic patterns of American life, influenza did not create long-term social or cultural change, serving instead to reinforce the status quo and the differences and disparities that defined American life.
As the crisis waned, the pandemic slipped from the nation's public memory. The helplessness and despair Americans had suffered during the pandemic, Bristow notes, was a story poorly suited to a nation focused on optimism and progress. For countless survivors, though, the trauma never ended, shadowing the remainder of their lives with memories of loss. This book lets us hear these long-silent voices, reclaiming an important chapter in the American past.

"A richly detailed picture of American society as it experienced an extraordinary trauma -one that shook a newly-established confidence in the efficacy of medicine and the responsiveness of civil society. Doctors, nurses, the friends and families of the sick all play a part in this carefully and imaginatively researched and lucidly written account of America's last great epidemic." - Charles Rosenberg, Harvard University
"Bristow has written a thoroughly researched and readable book documenting how different groups of Americans experienced and then remembered the influenza epidemic of 1918. Replete with large amounts of new information, this book is a major contribution to the historiography of both the flu and epidemic diseases more broadly." - Barron H. Lerner, author of The Breast Cancer Wars
"A gifted story-teller, Bristow shows how the 1918 influenza pandemic affected Americans of all walks of life. American Pandemic is a masterful work of social and medical history that reminds why this dramatic episode matters to public health and the national imagination." - Alexandra Minna Stern, University of Michigan
"Well written, engaging......Recommended especially for academic readers and specialists" - Library Journal
"[A]n intimate account of the individual and private sufferings of millions of Americans. Based on solid, comprehensive research, the volume is readable and vivid in language and example...[T]he author breathes life into stories of death...An impressive and important book for students, historians, and lay readers. Highly recommended." - CHOICE
"Now among the best of the post-Second World War publications on the great pandemic of the First World War." - -Journal of the History of Medicine"
"This readable and compelling account explains the role of race, gender and class, promotion of physical fitness and public education, and America's public health strategy during the influenza epidemics in 1918, 1919, 1920, and 1922. Bristow's work distinguishes itself with her emphasis on influenza epidemics beyond 1918-1919, the roles of physicians and nurses, the importance of public health nursing, and the personal revelation that she lost great-grandparents due to influenza." - Doody's Book Reviews
"[An] excellent social and cultural history of the outbreak...Bristow expertly delves into the tragedy and seeks to reconcile the 'public amnesia' of the nation with the private remembering of individuals and their families...The result is another fine addition to the recent scholarship of this important event in American history." - Journal of American History
"Building on Alfred Crosby's ground-breaking study, as well as an incredible amount of original research, this work on the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic offers a personal, professional, and official account of how Americans came to grips with la grippe, while also reflecting on how the nation's collective memory has been shaped by ignoring this tragedy. A rewarding read and highly recommended." - The Historian
"A prodigiously researched and often affecting history." - Journal of Social History
"Bristow interprets these often heartbreaking stories and the shocking statistics that accompany them with sensitivity but without sensationalism. The writing is fluid and compelling." - H-SHGAPE
"An intense and compelling overview of the impact that this pandemic had on Americans from every walk of life...Meticulously researched and eminently readable." - History in Review
"As historian Nancy K. Bristow shows in her compelling and readable new contribution to influenza scholarship, we still do not appreciate the epidemic's many legacies...Bristow's accomplishments are manifold. She segues readily between personal stories and collective experience. She develops complexity, contingency, and a multiplicity of contexts, and she does so with precision and grace. Her research is prodigious, and her writing is accessible, jargon free, and economical. At just under two hundred pages of text, American Pandemic will appeal to undergraduates, who will love reading it, and to instructors, who will love teaching it. This fine book stands on its own as a tribute to the rich and tragic legacies that the 1918 pandemic left behind." - American Historical Review

HomeMetals Guide
Platinum, the purest of metals at 95%, is a dense, malleable and precious metal resistant to corrosion and is incredibly hardwearing. As platinum is naturally silvery white in appearance, it does not require rhodium plating like white gold. Its wear and tarnish resistant characteristics make it highly suitable for fine jewellery. Platinum weighs over 1/3 more than 18ct Gold and because of its higher tensile strength it makes it difficult to mis-shape and so it is excellent for setting stones. Because of its purity it makes it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin as it is hypo-allergenic.
Palladium is a soft silver white metal that shares many qualities with Platinum. This strong and durable metal is 40% lighter than Platinum and is a naturally white metal meaning it never tarnishes or requires Rhodium plating unlike white Gold. Palladium has a similar price to 14ct Gold.
Gold is graded by carats (ct). The carat system for Gold, unlike diamonds, is a method of expressing the proportion of gold to other metals in a particular alloy. Pure Gold is 24ct. 18ct gold contains 18 parts of gold to 6 parts of other metals and is thus 75% pure Gold. 18ct Gold jewellery is hallmarked '750'.
Gold is graded by carats (ct). The carat system for gold, unlike diamonds, is a measure of the purity of gold by weight. The carat measures the proportion of gold to other metals in a particular alloy. Pure gold is 24ct. 22ct gold contains 22 parts of gold to 2 parts of other metals, while 9ct gold contains 9 parts of gold to 15 parts of other metals.
White gold is achieved by combining pure gold with alloys such as silver and palladium. Traditionally, nickel was used in white gold; however, nickel is no longer used in most white gold today as nickel can cause allergic reactions in some wearers.
As the natural colour of white gold is a greyish colour, almost all white gold jewellery is plated with a metal called Rhodium, which is a member of the Palladium family of metals. Rhodium is used to brighten the colour of white gold. Rhodium is very white and very hard, but it does wear eventually, particularly on rings. It is a very common practice to have rings re-plated with Rhodium, and most local jewellers will offer this service.
Gold is graded by carats (ct). The carat system for gold, unlike diamonds, is a method of expressing the proportion of gold to other metals in a particular alloy. Pure gold is 24ct. 22ct gold contains 22 parts of gold to 2 parts of other metals, while 9ct gold contains 9 parts of gold to 15 parts of other metals. Rose gold is the result of varying the proportions of copper and silver in the alloy, which results in a beautiful reddish hue.
Sterling Silver is an alloy of silver and other metals, usually copper. Sterling silver is 925 parts per thousand Silver with the remaining 75 parts being other metals. As pure silver is generally too soft for manufacturing into larger objects and for everyday wear, copper is generally used to give it strength while at the same time preserving the ductility of the metal and its beauty.
Vermeil / Gold-plate
Vermeil is a combination of Sterling Silver with a layer of gold on top. To be considered vermeil, the gold must be at least 10ct and be at least 1.5 micrometres thick. Any other metal plated onto Sterling Silver cannot be called vermeil. Vermeil can be produced by fire gilding or electrolysis. Fire gilding is an antiquated process, however, and most vermeil these days is produced by way of electrolysis. Vermeil is a French word, now commonly used in the English language mostly in America. It became a popular term in the 19th century as an alternative to the term silver-gilt.

Embryonic - The Flaming Lips New Release
Embryonic will be released tomorrow. Pitchfork, BBC, Spectator and Hurst all give positive reviews. Slant does not. Too experimental...???
No matter, hard core Lips fans will be pleased with Embryonic. It seems like they are getting a bit back to their roots. Commercial success? That's another story...
There's a raw directness to Embryonic that's been largely absent from Lips records since the mid-90s. For the first time in years, they've made an album that actually sounds like a band playing live together in a small room.
Musically, too, Embryonic leans heavily on the Lips' formative 60s/70s psych-rock influence (like In a Priest Driven Ambulance's "Take Meta Mars" before it, Embryonic's formidable opener "Convinced of the Hex" grooves heavily on Can's "Mushroom"), but never before has the band recorded an album so unwaveringly sinister, or so devoid of pop-song levity.

Steam cleaning has proven itself to be effective for both commercial and household usage. With the popularity of steam cleaning increasing, we are proud to introduce this efficient and safe way of cleaning your vehicle with just water! KGC uses the heavy duty Steam Cleaning Machine by Super Steam. Steam cleaning is carried out using pure water steam, which means 100% chemical free. This is extremely good news for those with families especially the elderly and young children. It works using high heat steam on the interior of your vehicle, to kill all germs and bacteria. To a certain extent, steam cleaning is also able to remove stubborn stains from your upholstery and reduces bad odours from your vehicle's interior.


In addition to the ordinary 32-km road currently serving the deep-water port of Kribi, Cameroon's largest port infrastructure will be served by a highway from 2018. 38.5 km long , this highway built by the Chinese company Chec, is currently carried out at more than 66%, indicate the heads of the operational unit of the project of construction of the industrial port complex of Kribi.
With the delays currently observed on the construction of the Yaoundé-Douala motorways (first 80 km) and Yaoundé-Nsimalen (20 km to serve the airport of the capital), the Kribi-Lolabé highway could, as early as 2018, becoming the first such infrastructure in Cameroon.
The total cost of this motorway project is officially estimated at 250 billion CFA francs, financed 86% by Exim Bank of China and 15% by the State of Cameroon. According to government projections, the Kribi-Lolabé highway will later join the Edéa-Kribi highway, which will easily connect the deep water port of Kribi from Douala, the economic capital of the country.

How to Cope with the Death of a Parent
When we're little, we never doubt our parents will be around forever. But what happens when you realize you're not a kid anymore?
By Deanna Kizis
Courtesy of Deanna Kizis
When I was growing up in Calabasas, California, I had the grooviest dad in the whole suburb. This is really saying something, because in the '70s, Calabasas was a pretty far-out place. My dad wore wide-collared shirts and a gold shark tooth around his neck. He was so cool he had a man perm — a giant white-boy 'fro that framed his handsome face like a halo. He was a long-board surfer, a black-diamond skier, and oh so handy — whenever a desperate housewife's lawn turned brown, my dad came to the rescue. My grade-school girlfriends always wanted to be his pretend wife when we played house, which, frankly, was my own personal Freudian hell.
Our family had a secret, though. My dad was slick, but he was also spacey. We had a name for his various pratfalls: "pulling a George." Take the time I was waving from my bedroom window to my dad, who was watering the lawn. He looked up, smiled, and teasingly sprayed what he thought was the glass. Except the window was open. And I — along with everything in my bedroom — got hosed. That's a George. Which is why, shortly before Thanksgiving 2 years ago, when Mom called to say he was in the hospital because he was "out of it," I was nonplussed. After all, I'd lived 30 years with my father leaving the luggage at home on family vacations.
"He doesn't know what day it is," she said. "He doesn't know what year it is."
Not a George, I thought. A problem.
When I got to the hospital, my father, who is in his 60s but recently took up boxing, likes the band Zero 7, and has been known to search Match.com (my parents are divorced), said, "Deanna, what are you doing here?"
"I heard you were a little confused."
"A little confused?" he said. "I'm a lot confused. Where are we?"
"Glendale Memorial Hospital."
"Where's Glendale?"
"Dad, you live in Glendale."
"I do?"
As if this weren't horrifying enough, my dad then said, "Deanna, what are you doing here?" I won't put you through having that same conversation over several hours in a crowded waiting room, but use your imagination. When we finally got him inside the ER, he started again. My mother and I were getting punchy. She turned to the nurse and said, "Run whatever tests you have to, but please, drug him up and knock him out."
Fair Warning Shots
As they wheeled my father off for an MRI, it hit me: What if this was serious? What if I have the same conversation with my dad for the rest of his life? You know how in horror movies when the camera focuses on the main character and then the scenery seems to suck forward while the person stays in the same place? That's how I felt.
My gut instinct turned out to be true. He'd had a stroke. And as a result, he had something called transient global amnesia, which is when you can retain only the last minute or so of the present before your mental chalkboard gets wiped clean. Then, in the following months, he had another stroke. The good news is both were mercifully small — more like brain "hiccups" — and today my father has, for the most part, recovered. But it forced me to confront what everyone has to face at some point: My parents are getting older, and someday they're going to pass away.
Before I go further, a little history: My family is odd in David Sedaris-esque proportions. My parents are divorced, but for 5 years they lived next door to each other — yes, really. My dad has another child (my half sister), but he isn't remarried. She is 12, lives with her mother in Malibu but spends the weekends with us, loves my mom, and has been known to wake her in the morning by banging on her door and demanding pancakes. Like my dad, she's a fantastic athlete and, like me, she refuses to learn to surf out of mean-spirited rebellion. My now-middle sister is the most outwardly normal person in my family, which is the weirdest thing about her. She's a teacher, has two dogs, and has never read an issue of Martha Stewart Living she didn't like.
Then there's me. I was raised by super freaks who were super freakin', so I'm not exactly the most straight-and-narrow person you've ever met. I had my first serious relationship in my 30s, and I've been known to torture my fiancé with made-up songs about him. So when I started trying to figure out what on earth to do/think/feel about my father's illness, I began by wishing I had a so-called normal childhood so I could find so-called normal solutions.
One-Digit Wisdom
We've all heard the idea that we don't really grow up until our parents die. I think it's more that we don't have a reason to be that kind of sad until then. Our parents are the people who've been there since birth, irritating us and squirting us with hoses. What on earth would we do without them? In the hospital, I got a glimpse of how I'd feel — how alone and helpless I would really feel — if this hadn't been a 2.0 quake but the Big One. Or if my mom, whose own mother died of Alzheimer's, were suddenly to forget my name, an idea so terrifying I'm loath to write it here in case it's bad juju. What the f- was I supposed to do about this?
I'd been searching for the answer, scraping my soul and mind since my dad's first stroke, and I'd come up with very little. Then one day, shortly after his last hospital stint, I met my parents for breakfast. My dad was doing well. He'd started boxing again and had gained back a little weight. His skin looked strangely fabulous — almost dewy — so I was jealous. My little sister was with us, along with her friend Camille and my dog. After so much time in the sick ward contemplating mortality, we were withdrawn, grumpy, and completely uninspired. The conversation was polite and strained and dull as dirt. So eventually we focused on Camille. What was her favorite subject at school? Did she have brothers and sisters? How old was she?
"Nine," she said, her little-girl voice squeaking from behind a plate of pancakes.
"Nine?" my dad asked, teasingly, ever confident he could charm the little girls. "That's not even double digits."
"So?" shrugged Camille. "When you're dead, I'll be sittin' on the couch watchin' TV and drinkin' a soda."
The table was stunned into silence. We had been avoiding this topic ever since that first trip to the ER. And then my dad started to laugh. A huge belly laugh. "Well!" he said, in mock offense. "I never!"
Camille took a bite of her breakfast. My mother rolled her eyes. My sister busied herself feeding my dog from the table. As for me, I said a secret thank-you to Camille — adorable brat, total genius. I may never figure out how to love my parents perfectly, to care for them, or to prepare myself to lose them. You can't, after all, live in a state of almost grief, waiting for the inevitable. That would be hell on earth and, to be honest, a waste of time better spent living. In the meantime, thanks to the innocent observation of a precocious kid, I can at least reconnect with that wacky-but-carefree existence before the hospital, when my dad was nothing but a former disco dork and death was just a _casual insult. A time when — for my family at least — be-having like we were in double digits was completely out of the question.

Around Indy, Blog, Events, Music April 12, 2019 April 12, 2019
Woo Grl! Fest
Woo Grl Festival is unlike anything Indianapolis has seen before. Bringing together a diverse group of women performers, a portion of the proceeds will also benefit Girls Rock! Indianapolis. Ariana Beedie, one of the founders of Woo Grl Festival, felt it was time for an event like this in Indy. PATTERN sat down with Ariana to talk about what went into planning the festival, what it's about, who's performing and more.
Allie Coppedge: What is Woo Grl Festival and what is it about?
Ariana Beedie: Woo Grl Festival is a music festival in Indy highlighting women of all walks of life, which is something that has never happened before. Whether you are cisgender, non-binary or trans, we need to be celebrated when it comes to Indianapolis art. Myself, Nicole O'Neal and KO (Kristin Newborn) came together to start this music festival. It's incredibly important black women are highlighted in the curation of a festival because Indianapolis music is very white male centered. I serve on Musical Family Trees' board so I'm very familiar with Indy's music.
So this is a one day festival happening at Pioneer and Square Cat Vinyl and features local bands as well as a few regional bands. Some of the proceeds of our sales are going to Girls Rock! Indianapolis as well as their band is going to play at the Square Cat Stage.
AC: Oh, nice! I didn't know they have a band.
AB: Yeah, they have a camp that part of their time is spent on band lessons and they perform at the end.
AC: So then this partnership with Girls Rock! came about because you and Nicole had worked with them before?
AB: Yes and I believe KO has before as well.
AC: Where did the idea for this festival come from? Did you see an opportunity?
AB: It wasn't my original idea but myself and my best friend, another black woman, created FAF Collective. We threw a show called Indy Women in Hip-Hop at State Street Pub that sold out. It featured women of color and not just in the hip-hop field.
With the work that I do in the community and with KO and Nicole who are our female musicians and have done a lot to showcase women in music and push forward with different opportunities. All of us do work that leads toward us being celebrated and so it felt like the natural next step. Us curating something big, a niche market that's also neglected and maybe criticized. We deserve to be celebrated and honestly, artists of color in particular built music in Indianapolis. All of us have really worked toward this moment so it's pretty magical that we're here, we've been able to get sponsors, tickets, volunteers and venues to back us.
AC: It sounds like you and the other founders have done similar events before. But have you done something of this caliber? If not, how did you navigate putting together a festival?
AB: Not anything to this size, but we are each curators in this community. Teamwork, connecting, facilitating, doing a lot of events, that's what we do. For myself, it seemed pretty natural to move in this direction. The main thing with something of this scale is communication so we talk everyday, sending out emails, partnering up. Girls Rock! has also been a big help and we've been able to work with their network. What's really great is that it's able to be known that black women created this, there is no silencing. This is a major thing that has been supported so I think other people have been waiting for something like this to be able to support. I call this a labor of love, only that we're making sure people are getting paid.
AC: How did you find all of the artists? You have a pretty extensive list of people performing, so was it all submissions or how did that work?
AB: We had a lot of people that submitted music so it was hard to narrow it down. It's a lot of different intersections. My publication has also covered a lot of these artists. Indianapolis is so big yet so very small. Our lineup is so diverse but it's really a reflection of our community.
AC: Is the festival comprised of all musical artists?
AB: We do have VOCAB, an open mic that's happened for around 12 years now. They are curating artists for the festival that will be more spoken word but have musical backing. It's about 90% bands but not strictly musical artists.
AC: The festival is held between Pioneer and Square Cat Vinyl, so will festival-goers be able to freely move between the two?
AB: Yes, people will buy tickets to the event and get access to both stages. The earlier shows start at Square Cat Vinyl and we're going to end the night at Pioneer. Square Cat Vinyl is more all ages so it will be easy for parents to bring their kids and if they want to put them to bed and come back later they'll be able to. It does have a flow to it though because we don't want people to miss out on acts.
AC: Is this something you intend to bring back next year?
AB: We plan on moving forward. There's more and more artists that are adding to this community. I want to give more people the chance to perform and hope to expand in the future as well. So we plan on coming back next year for sure!.
Woo Grl Festival is happening Saturday, April 20th and you can get tickets here. You can also follow along on their Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

5 I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man's hand was six long cubits,[a] each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.
6 Then he went to the east gate. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep. 7 The alcoves for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits[b] thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.
8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway; 9 it[c] was eight cubits[d] deep and its jambs were two cubits[e] thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10 Inside the east gate were three alcoves on each side; the three had the same measurements, and the faces of the projecting walls on each side had the same measurements. 11 Then he measured the width of the entrance of the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.[f] 12 In front of each alcove was a wall one cubit high, and the alcoves were six cubits square. 13 Then he measured the gateway from the top of the rear wall of one alcove to the top of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits[g] from one parapet opening to the opposite one. 14 He measured along the faces of the projecting walls all around the inside of the gateway—sixty cubits.[h] The measurement was up to the portico[i] facing the courtyard.[j] 15 The distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its portico was fifty cubits.[k] 16 The alcoves and the projecting walls inside the gateway were surmounted by narrow parapet openings all around, as was the portico; the openings all around faced inward. The faces of the projecting walls were decorated with palm trees.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court. There I saw some rooms and a pavement that had been constructed all around the court; there were thirty rooms along the pavement. 18 It abutted the sides of the gateways and was as wide as they were long; this was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the distance from the inside of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits[l] on the east side as well as on the north.
20 Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court. 21 Its alcoves—three on each side—its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as those of the first gateway. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 22 Its openings, its portico and its palm tree decorations had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them. 23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured from one gate to the opposite one; it was a hundred cubits.
24 Then he led me to the south side and I saw the south gate. He measured its jambs and its portico, and they had the same measurements as the others. 25 The gateway and its portico had narrow openings all around, like the openings of the others. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 26 Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them; it had palm tree decorations on the faces of the projecting walls on each side. 27 The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured from this gate to the outer gate on the south side; it was a hundred cubits.
28 Then he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others. 29 Its alcoves, its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 30 (The porticoes of the gateways around the inner court were twenty-five cubits wide and five cubits deep.) 31 Its portico faced the outer court; palm trees decorated its jambs, and eight steps led up to it.
32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others. 33 Its alcoves, its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 34 Its portico faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.
35 Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others, 36 as did its alcoves, its projecting walls and its portico, and it had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 37 Its portico[m] faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.
38 A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings were washed. 39 In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings[n] and guilt offerings were slaughtered. 40 By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables. 41 So there were four tables on one side of the gateway and four on the other—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were slaughtered. 42 There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offerings, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit high.[o] On them were placed the utensils for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices. 43 And double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth[p] long, were attached to the wall all around. The tables were for the flesh of the offerings.
47 Then he measured the court: It was square—a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.
48 He brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the jambs of the portico; they were five cubits wide on either side. The width of the entrance was fourteen cubits[s] and its projecting walls were[t] three cubits[u] wide on either side. 49 The portico was twenty cubits[v] wide, and twelve[w] cubits[x] from front to back. It was reached by a flight of stairs,[y] and there were pillars on each side of the jambs.
5 Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits[ag] wide. 6 The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple. 7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.
8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits. 9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple 10 and the priests' rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. 11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.
13 Then he measured the temple; it was a hundred cubits[aj] long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long. 14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.
15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits.
The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court, 16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and galleries around the three of them—everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered. 17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary 18 were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces: 19 the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple. 20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.
21 The main hall had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar. 22 There was a wooden altar three cubits[ak] high and two cubits square[al]; its corners, its base[am] and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, "This is the table that is before the Lord." 23 Both the main hall and the Most Holy Place had double doors. 24 Each door had two leaves—two hinged leaves for each door. 25 And on the doors of the main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. 26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.
42 Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms opposite the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall on the north side. 2 The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.[an] 3 Both in the section twenty cubits[ao] from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery faced gallery at the three levels. 4 In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits[ap] long.[aq] Their doors were on the north. 5 Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building. 6 The rooms on the top floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors. 7 There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits. 8 While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long. 9 The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
10 On the south side[ar] along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms 11 with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north 12 were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms.
15 When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around: 16 He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.[at][au] 17 He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits[av] by the measuring rod. 18 He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 19 Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 20 So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
43 Then the man brought me to the gate facing east, 2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory. 3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he[aw] came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown. 4 The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east. 5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple. 7 He said: "Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will never again defile my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and the funeral offerings[ax] for their kings at their death.[ay] 8 When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will live among them forever.
10 "Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their sins. Let them consider its perfection, 11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement, its exits and entrances—its whole design and all its regulations[az] and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.
12 "This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area on top of the mountain will be most holy. Such is the law of the temple.
18 Then he said to me, "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings and splashing blood against the altar when it is built: 19 You are to give a young bull as a sin offering[bh] to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who come near to minister before me, declares the Sovereign Lord. 20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge and all around the rim, and so purify the altar and make atonement for it. 21 You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.
22 "On the second day you are to offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering, and the altar is to be purified as it was purified with the bull. 23 When you have finished purifying it, you are to offer a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect. 24 You are to offer them before the Lord, and the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.
Ezekiel 40:5 That is, about 11 feet or about 3.2 meters; also in verse 12. The long cubit of about 21 inches or about 53 centimeters is the basic unit of measurement of length throughout chapters 40–48.
Ezekiel 40:14 The meaning of the Hebrew for this verse is uncertain.
Ezekiel 42:16 See Septuagint of verse 17; Hebrew rods; also in verses 18 and 19.
Ezekiel 42:16 Five hundred cubits equal about 875 feet or about 265 meters; also in verses 17, 18 and 19.
Ezekiel 43:13 That is, about 21 inches or about 53 centimeters; also in verses 14 and 17. The long cubit is the basic unit for linear measurement throughout Ezekiel 40–48.
