The park is the former estate of Herbert Greer French and is built on land that was once a Native American trail (Ridge Road). Greer willed the property to Cincinnati in 1943 along with his house, and it has remained in Cincinnati Park Board fisticuffs ever since.
The colonial-style house was built in 1805; currently, it's maintained by the French Park Advisory Council. Wedding receptions, art events and other fundraisers contribute to the grounds' upkeep.
A shelter house offers grills and picnic tables, as well as bathrooms, and two small playgrounds entertain kids. French Park is noted for its easy trails, scenery, fossil-hunting and dog-walking.

French Park itself has miles of hiking trails, creeks, meadows and wooded hillsides, a shelter and a distant view of Cincinnati. The park is in Amberley Village.
Happy Tuesday collectors! Jen is out and about again on some very important business, so it's Sara here, with the honor of introducing today's edition from our beloved Jane Mount. Jane created Ideal Bookshelf 1, JMM just for 20x200, choosing her favorite—and most influential—childhood tomes.
I have a theory about this. Most impressionable when we're young, books and other sources of great ideas are given more weight. These books have also, often, been given to us by adults who regard these gifts as important and inspirational in their own lives. The Little Engine That Could, Goodnight Moon and The Little Prince are all titles that have passed the test of time.
How often—recently or long ago—were you able to accomplish a great task while chanting in your head, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!"? Am I the only one who still nods off some nights with sweet thoughts for the moon and all the other good things in life? And really, where would we all be if we hadn't learned from the young prince to listen to our hearts as often as we listen to our heads? Generations of us owe these books thanks! And so it is fitting that Jane has memorialized them here in Ideal Bookshelf 1, JMM.
While Jane's previous literary editions, Bookshelf 20 and Bookshelf 29 tell us a little bit about the owners of these collections, the ideal bookshelves of this new series tell us more about the books themselves, and their roles as cultural and physical objects.
The significance of books and their various roles in our lives are thoroughly explored in Summer Reading, currently on view at Jen Bekman Gallery. Jane is joined by Lizzie Buckmaster Dove, Nina Katchadourian, Michael Mandiberg, Victor Schrager and Mickey Smith in her exploration of the book as an object. In particular, several of these artists examine the spines of books and the details that help us identify books for what they are, even though, as Jane writes, "It's such a small place for a lot of information, with very little room for distinct characteristics". Each artist makes more or less of these characteristics in their work.
Have you seen the show yet? If not, hurry on over before we close this chapter in JBG history. It'll be worth your while, I promise. NY Art Beat critic Laura Meli writes, "Just as a summer read should be, the exhibition is intriguing, short, and fast-paced, with a few welcome surprises buried within." If you don't want to take our words for it, see what Elle and Artlog have to say. Also, find regular updates about the show and all of the Summer Reading artists on the JBG blog.
Summer Reading at JBG won't last and I have a hunch that Jane's edition won't either—both of her paintings in the show have sold—so it'd be wise to pick up a print while they're available! The exhibition closes in just a few short weeks, on August 22nd.

Il sentiero per la purificazione
di Christopher, Filippine
Mi chiamo Christopher e sono un pastore di una Chiesa famiglia delle Filippine. Nel 1987 venni battezzato e ritornai al Signore Gesù. Per grazia del Signore, nel 1996 divenni pastore della Chiesa locale. In quel periodo, oltre che in molti luoghi delle Filippine, predicai anche in posti come Hong Kong e la Malesia. Grazie all’opera e alla guida dello Spirito Santo, sentivo di avere un’energia inesauribile nel mio lavoro per il Signore e un flusso di parole incessante nei miei sermoni. Andavo spesso a dare sostegno ai fratelli e alle sorelle, quando si sentivano deboli e pessimisti. A volte, i membri della loro famiglia che non credevano nel Signore mi erano ostili, eppure io riuscivo a essere tollerante e paziente e a non perdere la fede nel Signore, e credevo che il Signore potesse cambiarli. Quindi, sentivo di essere molto cambiato, da quando credevo nel Signore. Tuttavia, a partire dal 2011, ho smesso di sentire l’opera dello Spirito Santo così intensamente. Lentamente, non ho più avuto nuove illuminazioni per i miei sermoni, né ho avuto la forza di liberarmi dal vivere nel peccato. Non riuscivo a non arrabbiarmi con mia moglie e mia figlia e a non dar loro una lezione, a causa del mio caratteraccio, quando vedevo che non si comportavano come desideravo. Sapevo che ciò non si conciliava con la volontà del Signore, ma spesso non riuscivo a controllarmi. Mi sentivo particolarmente angosciato per questo. Allo scopo di liberarmi da una vita scandita dal peccato e dalla confessione, mi sono impegnato maggiormente nella lettura della Bibbia, nel digiuno e nella preghiera, e ho trovato pastori spirituali dappertutto, per cercare e valutare insieme una soluzione. Ma tutti i miei sforzi erano vani e non cambiavano il mio vivere nel peccato, né l’oscurità nella mia anima.
Poi una sera, nella primavera del 2016, mia moglie mi ha detto: “Christopher, ho notato che sei particolarmente turbato ultimamente. Cosa ti passa per la testa?” Dopo aver ascoltato la domanda di mia moglie, le raccontai ciò che mi turbava: “In questi ultimi anni, mi sono chiesto perché non riesco a liberarmi dal vivere nel peccato, nonostante sia un pastore e creda nel Signore da molti anni. Ora non riesco ad avvicinarmi a Dio. È come se il Signore mi avesse abbandonato. Sebbene predichi dappertutto, non appena ho del tempo libero, specialmente a notte fonda, sento sempre un senso di vuoto e di ansia, e questa sensazione diventa sempre più intensa. Penso al fatto che credo nel Signore da molti anni, ho letto diffusamente la Bibbia e ho spesso deciso di portare la croce e sottomettermi, eppure sono sempre legato ai miei peccati, capace di raccontare bugie allo scopo di proteggere i miei interessi e di salvare la faccia, e non sono all’altezza delle parole ‘Nella bocca loro non è stata trovata menzogna’ (Apocalisse 14:5). Mentre affronto le avversità e il raffinamento, sebbene sappia di avere l’approvazione di Dio, non riesco ugualmente a non lamentarmi con il Signore e a fraintenderLo, e sono completamente incapace di negare volentieri me stesso. Temo che, quando il Signore verrà, non sarò in grado di entrare nel Regno dei Cieli, per aver vissuto nel peccato in questa maniera!”
Dopo aver ascoltato, mia moglie mi ha detto: “Christopher, come puoi pensarla in questo modo? Devi avere fede; sei un pastore! Anche se viviamo nel peccato e non ci siamo liberati dalle sue catene, la Bibbia dice: ‘Se con la bocca avrai confessato Gesù come Signore e avrai creduto con il cuore che Dio Lo ha risuscitato dai morti, sarai salvato’ (Romani 10:9), ‘Infatti chiunque avrà invocato il nome del Signore sarà salvato’ (Romani 10:13). Se continuiamo a leggere la Bibbia, a incontrarci e a pregare il Signore, a portare la croce e a seguire sempre fino alla seconda venuta del Signore, saremo in grado di entrare nel Regno dei Cieli e di ricevere la benedizione di Dio”.
Dissi allora a mia moglie: “Anch’io la pensavo così, in precedenza, ma in 1 Pietro 1:16 si afferma: ‘Poiché sta scritto: “Siate santi, perché Io sono santo”’. Io credo nel Signore da trent’anni, eppure non riesco a mantenere la via del Signore e, vivendo nel peccato, sono ancora capace di resistere spesso al Signore. Neanche lontanamente soddisfo i requisiti del Signore. Oh! Quante volte mi sono risolto a obbedire agli insegnamenti del Signore, senza nemmeno riuscire a praticare la Sua parola. Come potrei essere degno di entrare nel Regno dei Cieli in una situazione del genere? Il Signore Gesù disse: ‘Non chiunque Mi dice: “Signore, Signore!” entrerà nel Regno dei Cieli, ma chi fa la volontà del Padre Mio che è nei cieli’ (Matteo 7:21). Secondo le parole del Signore, entrare nel Regno dei Cieli non è così semplice come pensiamo. Il Signore è santo; quindi, come possono le persone che non praticano la parola di Dio e che spesso Gli resistono venir rapite nel Regno dei Cieli? Solo coloro che sono cambiati e che osservano la volontà di Dio possono entrarvi!”
Mia moglie ci pensò su un istante e disse: “Ciò che dici è sensato. Il Signore è santo, mentre noi siamo ancora peccatori. Non siamo degni del Regno di Dio. È solo che… Mi sono ricordata improvvisamente che… il pastore Liu non invitò forse un pastore coreano, Kim, per la Chiesa? E se questa volta facessimo una ricerca su questa questione?” Dissi: “Certo, anche questa è una buona soluzione. Il Signore Gesù disse: ‘Chiedete e vi sarà dato; cercate e troverete; bussate e vi sarà aperto’ (Matteo 7:7). Se cercheremo, credo che il Signore ci guiderà. Come pastore, è mio dovere tenere in considerazione la vita dei nostri fratelli e delle nostre sorelle. Ho il dovere di non credere a Dio in maniera confusa, o metterò i fratelli e le sorelle di fronte a un dilemma e io stesso ne rimarrò intrappolato. Perciò, aspettiamo l’arrivo del pastore coreano Kim e rivolgiamoci a lui per questa questione”.
Poiché avevo l’intenzione di consultare il pastore Kim, desideravo conoscere un po’ meglio il suo background. Quindi, cercai su internet informazioni sulla Chiesa coreana. Tra le pagine che comparvero, vidi il sito web www.kingdomsalvation.org/it/. Aprii il sito e alcune parole catturarono la mia attenzione: “L’uomo ricevette molta grazia, come la pace e la felicità della carne, la benedizione dell’intera famiglia grazie alla fede di uno solo, la guarigione dalle malattie e così via. Il resto consisteva nelle buone azioni dell’uomo e nella sua apparenza devota; se egli riusciva a vivere in base a ciò, era considerato un buon credente. Solo tali credenti potevano entrare in cielo dopo la morte, il che significa che venivano salvati. Nel corso dell’esistenza, però, non comprendevano affatto la via della vita. Semplicemente commettevano dei peccati, poi si confessavano in un ciclo costante, senza alcun cammino verso un’indole trasformata; tale era la condizione dell’uomo nell’Età della Grazia. Egli ha ricevuto la completa salvezza? No!” (“Il mistero dell’incarnazione (4)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Queste parole erano così giuste che non riuscii a trattenermi dal continuarne la lettura: “Dopo che quella fase è giunta a compimento, dunque, c’è ancora l’opera del giudizio e del castigo. Questa fase rende l’uomo puro attraverso la parola per dargli un cammino da seguire. Questa fase non sarebbe fruttuosa o significativa se continuasse con la cacciata dei demoni, perché la natura peccaminosa dell’uomo non verrebbe rigettata ed egli si fermerebbe solo al perdono dei peccati. Attraverso il sacrificio per il peccato, l’uomo è stato perdonato per i suoi peccati, poiché l’opera della crocifissione è già giunta al termine e Dio ha prevalso su Satana. Però, l’indole corrotta dell’uomo rimane ancora dentro di lui ed egli può ancora peccare e resistere a Dio; Dio non ha guadagnato l’umanità. Ecco perché, in questa fase dell’opera, usa la parola per rivelare l’indole corrotta dell’uomo e chiede all’uomo di praticare in conformità al cammino giusto. Questa fase è più significativa della precedente e anche più fruttuosa, perché ora è la parola a provvedere direttamente alla vita dell’uomo e a permettere che la sua indole sia completamente rinnovata; è una fase più accurata dell’opera” (“Il mistero dell’incarnazione (4)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Alla lettura di queste parole, provai un grande entusiasmo. Sebbene non le comprendessi completamente e alcune mi confondessero addirittura, esse mi diedero speranza. Sentivo che lì potevo trovare un modo per purificare me stesso e cambiare. Ringraziai Dio dal profondo del mio cuore per aver ascoltato la mia preghiera. Lessi nuovamente una parte del contenuto e sentii che le parole erano così ben scritte da placare la mia anima assetata e guidarla. Quando vidi che sul sito c’era scritto: “Se non è disponibile una linea diretta del Vangelo nel tuo Paese o nella tua area, lascia un messaggio e ti ricontatteremo al più presto”, cercai subito una linea diretta del Vangelo nelle Filippine, ma senza trovarla; allora, mandai immediatamente un messaggio e non esitai a lasciare il mio numero di telefono e il mio indirizzo e-mail.
Quella sera, dopo essere tornato a casa, raccontai a mia moglie la novità e lei, dopo avermi ascoltato, disse di voler a sua volta partecipare alla ricerca. Ringrazio davvero il Signore che il giorno seguente risposero al mio messaggio e organizzarono un colloquio con noi on line nel pomeriggio. Quel pomeriggio parlammo con Sorella Lu e Sorella Su. Dalla conversazione ebbi la sensazione che parlassero in modo semplice, abilmente e con buon senso. Mia moglie era persino più ansiosa di me e disse: “C’è una cosa che vorrei chiedervi. Posso farlo?” Risposero con entusiasmo: “Certamente!”. Mia moglie disse: “Sul vostro sito della Chiesa si legge: ‘Dio degli ultimi giorni ha svolto una fase dell’opera di giudizio e castigo’. Mio marito ed io sappiamo che, senza santità, nessuno vedrà il Signore, perché il Signore è santo, ma nella Lettera ai Romani si legge: ‘Se con la bocca avrai confessato Gesù come Signore e avrai creduto con il cuore che Dio lo ha risuscitato dai morti, sarai salvato’ (Romani 10:9), ‘Infatti chiunque avrà invocato il nome del Signore sarà salvato’ (Romani 10:13). Se crediamo nel Signore Gesù, siamo già salvi e possiamo entrare nel Regno dei Cieli; allora perché Dio degli ultimi giorni svolge una fase dell’opera di giudizio e castigo? Non capisco questa questione e spero che voi possiate parlarne”.
Sorella Liu rispose: “Sia resa grazia a Dio! Discutiamone insieme e lasciamo che Dio ci guidi. Per prima cosa, diamo un’occhiata a ciò che significa ‘essere salvati’ in questo contesto. Nell’ultimo periodo dell’Età della Legge, tutte le persone sfuggivano Dio e avevano perso il rispetto per Lui. Diventarono sempre più peccatrici e arrivarono a offrire in sacrificio bovini, pecore e piccioni ciechi, zoppi e malati. Le persone di quell’epoca non onoravano più la legge e correvano tutte il pericolo di essere condannate a morte per averla infranta. In tali circostanze, allo scopo di salvare da morte sicura le persone soggette alla legge, Dio in persona Si incarnò, intraprese l’opera di redenzione e venne infine crocifisso per redimere l’intera umanità dal peccato. All’uomo vennero perdonati i peccati perché credeva nel Signore Gesù ed era pertanto legittimato a presentarsi innanzi a Dio, a pregarLo e a godere della benedizione della Sua grazia. Questo è il vero significato dell’‘essere salvati’ nell’Età della Grazia. In altre parole, ‘essere salvati’ rappresenta soltanto il perdono dei peccati dell’uomo. Ossia, Dio non considera peccatrici le persone, sebbene ciò non significhi che le stesse siano senza peccato. Pertanto, ‘essere salvati’ non significa che siamo completamente purificati e salvi. Se vogliamo essere purificati, dobbiamo accettare l’opera di giudizio di Dio degli ultimi giorni”.
Ascoltando la loro spiegazione, mia moglie ed io comprendemmo che l’“essere salvati” menzionato nella Lettera ai Romani si riferiva all’accettazione della salvezza di Dio e non più all’essere condannati a morte per aver infranto la legge. Non era come avevamo immaginato, cioè che il significato di “essere salvati” fosse quello di venir accuratamente purificati. Ciò che dicevano era sensato. Spiegare “essere salvati” in quel modo non era in contraddizione con la nostra situazione di vivere commettendo dei peccati e confessandoli. Quindi, ciò che Dio si limitò a svolgere fu l’opera redentrice, non l’opera dell’accurata purificazione dell’uomo e della sua salvezza. Sebbene le persone credano nel Signore e vengano salvate, ciò non significa che siano state accuratamente purificate. Ascoltando la loro spiegazione, sentii che vi era della verità da cercare al suo interno; quindi, espressi la mia volontà di ascoltare il prosieguo della loro spiegazione. Dissi: “Sia resa grazia al Signore! Parlate davvero bene. Parlando con voi in questo modo, abbiamo compreso il vero significato dell’‘essere salvati’. Per piacere, proseguite la vostra spiegazione. Possa il Signore guidarci”. Sorella Su proseguì, dicendo: “Bene, leggiamo alcuni passi della parola di Dio Onnipotente e tutto diventerà più chiaro. Dio Onnipotente disse: ‘All’epoca, l’opera di Gesù era la redenzione di tutta l’umanità. I peccati di tutti coloro che credevano in Lui venivano perdonati; bastava credere in Lui, perché Egli ti redimesse; se credevi in Lui, non eri più un peccatore, venivi liberato dei tuoi peccati. Questo è ciò che significava essere salvati ed essere giustificati per mezzo della fede. Eppure, in coloro che credevano rimaneva ciò che era ribelle e contrario a Dio, e che doveva lentamente essere rimosso. La salvezza, infatti, non significava che l’uomo fosse stato completamente guadagnato da Gesù, ma che l’uomo non era più sotto il dominio del peccato, ossia che gli erano stati perdonati i peccati: se l’uomo credeva in Gesù, non sarebbe mai più stato schiavo del peccato’ (“La visione dell’opera di Dio (2)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). ‘L’opera negli ultimi giorni consiste nel pronunciare parole. Attraverso le parole si possono attuare grandi cambiamenti nell’uomo. I cambiamenti ora attuati in queste persone all’accettazione di queste parole sono assai più grandi di quello delle persone nell’Età della Grazia, all’accettazione di quei segni e prodigi. Nell’Età della Grazia, infatti, i demoni si allontanavano dall’uomo con l’imposizione delle mani e con la preghiera, ma l’indole corrotta rimaneva ancora nell’uomo. Egli veniva guarito dalla malattia e perdonato per i suoi peccati, ma l’opera per rigettare l’indole satanica corrotta nell’uomo non si compiva dentro di lui. Egli fu salvato e perdonato per i suoi peccati solo grazie alla fede, ma la sua natura peccaminosa non fu rimossa e restò ancora dentro di lui. I peccati dell’uomo furono perdonati attraverso Dio incarnato, ma ciò non significa che egli non abbia alcun peccato dentro di sé. I peccati dell’uomo poterono essere perdonati attraverso il sacrificio per il peccato, ma l’uomo non è riuscito a risolvere il problema di come non peccare più e di come la sua natura peccaminosa possa essere rigettata completamente e trasformata. I peccati dell’uomo furono perdonati grazie all’opera della crocifissione di Dio, ma l’uomo continuò a vivere nella vecchia indole satanica corrotta. Egli, dunque, deve essere completamente salvato dall’indole satanica corrotta cosicché la sua natura peccaminosa venga rigettata completamente e non si sviluppi mai più, permettendo così di cambiare l’indole dell’uomo. Ciò richiede che egli comprenda il cammino della crescita nella vita, la via della vita e il modo di cambiare la propria indole. Impone anche che egli agisca in conformità a questo cammino cosicché l’indole dell’uomo possa cambiare gradualmente ed egli possa vivere sotto lo splendore della luce e fare tutte le cose in conformità alla volontà di Dio, rigettare l’indole satanica corrotta e liberarsi dall’influenza satanica delle tenebre, emergendo così pienamente dal peccato. Solo allora l’uomo riceverà la salvezza completa’ (“Il mistero dell’incarnazione (4)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). ‘Benché Gesù compia molte cose tra gli uomini, ha soltanto completato la redenzione di tutta l’umanità, Si è sacrificato per il peccato dell’uomo e non ha liberato l’uomo dalla sua indole corrotta. Salvare completamente l’uomo dall’influenza di Satana non solo ha comportato il fatto che Gesù Si facesse carico dei peccati dell’uomo come sacrificio per i peccati, ma ha anche richiesto che Dio compisse un’opera maggiore per liberare completamente l’uomo dalla sua indole corrotta da Satana. E perciò, dopo che all’uomo sono stati perdonati i peccati, Dio Si è nuovamente incarnato per condurlo verso l’età nuova, e ha iniziato l’opera di castigo e giudizio, e quest’opera ha introdotto l’uomo in un regno più elevato. Tutti coloro che ubbidiscono al Suo dominio godranno di una verità superiore e riceveranno maggiori benedizioni. Vivranno realmente nella luce e guadagneranno la verità, la via e la vita’ (Introduzione a “La Parola appare nella carne”). Dalle parole di Dio Onnipotente possiamo comprendere che, se ci limitiamo a conservare l’opera redentrice dell’Età della Grazia e non accettiamo l’opera di giudizio di Dio degli ultimi giorni, il problema dell’origine del nostro peccato non verrà risolto. Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni è arrivato e ha svolto una fase dell’opera sulla base dell’opera di redenzione, giudicando e purificando l’uomo, esprimendo verità per rivelare la verità della corruzione dell’uomo e giudicandone la natura satanica. È venuto per cambiare l’indole satanica delle persone e per liberarle completamente dall’influenza di Satana e salvarle. È evidente che l’opera di giudizio di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni è quella più cruciale e fondamentale per purificare, salvare e rendere le persone perfette. Pertanto, solo accettando l’opera di giudizio di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni possiamo avere un’autentica comprensione della nostra essenza corrotta e dell’indole giusta di Dio, liberarci completamente dall’influenza di Satana, essere salvati da Dio e diventare persone che obbediscano a Dio, Lo venerino e siano compatibili con Lui”.
Non appena ebbi ascoltato queste spiegazioni, il mio cuore si rischiarò ed io mi sentii come se i miei annosi problemi fossero stati finalmente risolti. Quindi, Dio stava soltanto svolgendo l’opera di redenzione dell’Età della Grazia, non l’opera del liberare le persone dalla propria indole satanica corrotta. L’opera di giudizio compiuta da Dio che rivela la verità attraverso la Sua incarnazione negli ultimi giorni è l’opera dell’accurata purificazione dell’uomo e della sua salvezza. Quindi, in che modo Dio purifica le persone, le cambia e le salva completamente? Ero ansioso di conoscere la risposta a questa domanda. Di conseguenza, non potei trattenermi dal domandare: “Comprendo ciò che avete appena detto e so che noi possiamo ottenere soltanto la purificazione entro la seconda venuta del Signore, che svolgerà una fase dell’opera di giudizio. Questo è realmente ciò desideravo da molto tempo. Ciò che ora desidero davvero sapere è: in che modo Dio Onnipotente svolge l’opera di purificazione e salvezza delle persone? Vi prego, condividete la vostra spiegazione”.
Sorella Su proseguì, dicendo: “La questione di come Dio Onnipotente svolga l’opera di giudizio, purificando e salvando le persone, è particolarmente importante per chiunque desideri ottenere il cambiamento e la purificazione. Le parole di Dio Onnipotente parlano della verità di tale questione. Ti manderò le parole di Dio Onnipotente. Fratello, ti prego di leggerle!”
Lessi con entusiasmo le parole di Dio Onnipotente: “Durante gli ultimi giorni, Cristo utilizza una serie di verità per insegnare all’uomo, rivelarne l’essenza e analizzare le sue parole e le sue azioni. Queste parole comprendono diverse verità, quali il dovere dell’uomo, come l’uomo dovrebbe obbedire a Dio, come dovrebbe esserGli fedele, come dovrebbe vivere la normale umanità, così come la saggezza e l’indole di Dio, e così via. Queste parole sono tutte dirette all’essenza dell’uomo e alla sua indole corrotta. In particolare, le parole che rivelano come l’uomo rifiuta Dio vengono pronunciate a proposito di come l’uomo sia la personificazione di Satana e una forza nemica di Dio. Quando Dio comincia l’opera di giudizio, Egli non Si limita semplicemente a chiarire la natura dell’uomo solo con poche parole, ma compie la rivelazione, il trattamento e la potatura a lungo termine. Tale metodo di rivelazione, di trattamento e di potatura non può essere sostituito con parole ordinarie, ma con la verità che l’uomo non possiede affatto. Solo tale modo di lavoro viene considerato giudizio; solamente attraverso tale giudizio l’uomo può essere assoggettato, pienamente convinto a sottomettersi a Dio e inoltre può ottenere la vera conoscenza di Dio. Ciò che l’opera di giudizio realizza è la comprensione da parte dell’uomo del vero volto di Dio e la verità riguardo alla sua ribellione. L’opera di giudizio permette all’uomo di ottenere molta comprensione della volontà di Dio, dello scopo della Sua opera e dei misteri che non possono essere compresi dall’uomo. Inoltre, consente all’uomo di riconoscere e conoscere la sua sostanza corrotta e le radici della sua corruzione, come pure di scoprire la sua bruttezza. Questi effetti si realizzano tutti tramite l’opera di giudizio, perché la sua sostanza è di fatto l’opera di svelare la verità, la via e la vita di Dio a tutti coloro che hanno fede in Lui. Quest’opera è l’opera di giudizio svolta da Dio” (“Cristo compie l’opera di giudizio attraverso la verità” in “La Parola appare nella carne”).
Dopo che ebbi terminato di leggere le parole di Dio, Sorella Su proseguì la sua spiegazione: “Le parole di Dio Onnipotente parlano molto chiaramente di come Dio giudichi e purifichi le persone. Dio degli ultimi giorni esprime in primo luogo la verità sull’indole corrotta dell’uomo e sulla sua natura satanica nel resistere a Dio, allo scopo di giudicare, purificare e salvare l’uomo. Dio Onnipotente ha espresso verità su molti aspetti: il modo in cui Satana ha corrotto le persone, il modo in cui Dio le ha salvate, cosa vuol dire seguire le persone, cosa significa obbedire a Dio, quali punti di vista dovrebbe avere l’uomo nel credere in Dio, cos’è il cambiamento dell’indole individuale, cosa significa aver timore di Dio e fuggire il male, cosa significa offendere l’indole di Dio, come essere un uomo onesto ecc. Tutte queste verità hanno autorità e potere, e possono rifornire le persone di vita. È il sentiero per la vita eterna che Dio dona all’umanità. Se le persone accettano e praticano la parola di Dio, possono ottenere la purificazione e la salvezza. Abbiamo sperimentato alcuni anni dell’opera di giudizio di Dio Onnipotente e ne abbiamo fatto esperienza personalmente. Quando leggiamo le parole di Dio Onnipotente sul giudizio, il castigo e la rivelazione dell’uomo, sentiamo che le parole di Dio sono come una spada a doppio taglio che rivela la nostra natura ribelle, la corruzione, la resistenza, le nostre intenzioni, nozioni e fantasie errate e persino le tossine di Satana nascoste nel profondo dei nostri cuori. Ci fanno capire che siamo arroganti e presuntuosi, imbroglioni e scaltri, egoisti, cattivi e ciechi davanti a tutto ciò che non siano i nostri interessi, con quasi nessun timore di Dio. Capiamo che tutto ciò che facciamo e ciò di cui sono pieni i nostri cuori è sporcizia e corruzione, senza alcuna sembianza umana. Ci vergogniamo tutti troppo per mostrare le nostre facce. Ci rendiamo conto che, se continueremo a vivere secondo l’indole corrotta di Satana, saremo sempre persone che Dio ripugna, non riusciremo mai a guadagnare la lode di Dio e saremo destinati a essere eliminati e puniti. Il giudizio delle parole di Dio Onnipotente e ciò che esse rivelano ci fa sentire come se Dio ci stesse giudicando faccia a faccia, cosa che ci permette di riconoscere la natura maestosa, implacabile e giusta di Dio e di sviluppare gradualmente un cuore timorato di Dio, un autentico pentimento e cambiamento. Ora si ha la sensazione di vivere leggermente a somiglianza dell’uomo e capiamo di aver davvero ottenuto la grande salvezza di Dio. Se il giudizio di Dio non ci sovrastasse, non saremmo in grado di conoscere l’indole giusta di Dio, che non tollera l’offesa dell’uomo, e la Sua essenza santa e buona, e non svilupperemmo odio verso la nostra ribellione e corruzione, né saremmo in grado di scacciare la nostra corruzione ed essere purificati. Quindi, più sperimentiamo l’opera di giudizio e castigo di Dio, più capiamo che essi rappresentano la nostra migliore protezione, la nostra più grande benedizione e la salvezza più vera!”
Sorella Lu spiegò inoltre: “L’opera di giudizio e castigo di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni consiste nel purificare accuratamente, salvare e rendere perfette le persone. Se non accetteremo il giudizio innanzi al trono di Cristo degli ultimi giorni, non saremo in grado di ottenere la purificazione e i cambiamenti della nostra indole di vita: il risultato sarà sicuramente il rifiuto e l’eliminazione a opera di Dio e noi subiremo la perdizione e moriremo. Non avremo mai la possibilità di salvarci ed entrare nel Regno dei Cieli. Ciò è incontrovertibile”.
Dissi con gioia: “Grazie a Dio! Mi sento molto rischiarato nel cuore, dopo aver ascoltato le vostre spiegazioni. Credo nel Signore da moltissimi anni ma, in realtà, ho vissuto nel peccato e sono stato impotente nel liberarmene. Ora capisco che, se non sperimenterò l’opera di giudizio e castigo di Dio degli ultimi giorni, non riuscirò a liberarmi dalle catene e dalla schiavitù del peccato. Ora ho trovato il sentiero per la purificazione e la salvezza”. Dopo diversi giorni di confronto, mia moglie ed io comprendemmo alcune verità e accettammo l’opera di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni.
Grazie Dio Onnipotente per amarmi e salvarmi! Come pastore, ho la responsabilità e il dovere di portare tutti i pastori, i fratelli e le sorelle che conosco al cospetto di Dio. Dopo un periodo di collaborazione, non solo decine di fratelli e sorelle della Chiesa, che spesso partecipavano agli incontri, accettarono tutti Dio Onnipotente, ma portarono anche nella famiglia di Dio un’altra famiglia di un pastore, e la maggior parte dei fratelli e delle sorelle della sua Chiesa ritornarono a loro volta innanzi a Dio. Ero lieto di constatare che i fratelli e le sorelle avessero accettato la salvezza di Dio degli ultimi giorni e fossero stati innalzati innanzi al trono di Dio. Questo è tutto frutto dell’opera di Dio Onnipotente e a Lui desideriamo attribuirne tutta la gloria!

Une démarche de développement durable
Le centre de production horticole, c'est 13 300 m2 de serres qui figurent sans doute parmi les plus modernes et performantes du pays. "Nous n'avons pas voulu nous contenter de remplacer les vieilles serres de Créteil et Limeil-Brévannes, explique Thierry
Deman, responsable de la production florale et arboricole de Plaine centrale. Notre objectif, c'était de créer un site de production qui garantisse un haut rendement, respecte l'environnement et offre au personnel de bonnes conditions de travail. C'est
pourquoi nous nous sommes inscrits dans une démarche HQE (haute qualité environnementale) de développement durable."
C'est ainsi que les constructions ont été intégrées dans leur environnement, que les serres ont été travaillées et disposées pour limiter au maximum l'impact visuel, que les arbres et les haies existants ont été préservés et que les matériaux choisis (bois,
verre, aluminium, acier inoxydable, linoléum, peintures sans solvant) l'ont été pour leurs faibles nuisances environnementales.
À l'intérieur, la plupart des réseaux ont été enterrés et l'éclairage a été réalisé avec des luminaires basse luminancepour améliorer le confort visuel.
Les équipements bruyants ont été mis dans des lieux isolés pour limiter les nuisances sonores, des siphons ont été placés régulièrement sur les dallages pour faciliter le nettoyage du sol, des ouvrants de pignons et de toiture ont été installés pour permettre
le brassage et le renouvellement de l'air.
Des économies d'eau et d'énergie
Mais le respect de la démarche HQE est surtout sensible dans la gestion économique et écologique de l'énergie et de l'eau.
De nombreuses dispositions ont ainsi été prises pour réaliser des économies de chauffage et améliorer le confort de travail du personnel (énergie humaine) : orientation des serres dans l'axe nord-sud pour un ensoleillement maximum, utilisation d'un verre spécial pour une filtration positive des rayons solaires (rétention
des UVA), régulation informatisée du climat et installation d'une chaudière à grand volume d'eau, mise en place de chaînes de production pour diminuer les déplacements, les efforts et contraintes physiques, concentration des aires de culture
autour de la galerie de travail.
Par ailleurs, tout a été conçu pour limiter les prélèvements d'eau et supprimer les rejets. C'est ainsi qu'un bassin de récupération des eaux de toiture a été réalisé et qu'un système d'arrosage, fondé sur le drainage et le recyclage des eaux de sol
a été mis en œuvre (voir encadré).
Ce sont bien, ainsi, des serres du XXIe siècle qui ont ouvert à Mandres-les-Roses. Un univers de fleurs et de plantes vertes certes, mais aussi de tapis de convoyage, de ponts roulants et de chariots mécaniques, car l'automatisation est omniprésente et a
permis à chaque étape de la production (rempotage, fertilisation ...) et de la manutention (transport du terreau, des plaques de culture ...) d'éliminer la plupart des tâches pénibles. Quant aux ordinateurs dont la présence peut également surprendre, ils
gèrent, ni plus ni moins que le chauffage, l'arrosage et le climat.
Un système d'arrosage innovant
En matière de développement durable et de protection de l'environnement, les serres communautaires se situent à la pointe de la technologie. Alors que les dégâts causés aux nappes phréatiques par les engrais et traitements divers sont depuis longtemps avérés et que l'eau devient un bien de plus en plus précieux, les serres communautaires ne polluent pas et permettent de réaliser des économies. Elles le doivent à l'installation d'un système d'arrosage qui met en œuvre le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage et la récupération des eaux de pluie (ou eaux de toiture). Comme le montre le schéma ci-dessous, le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage s'effectue par filtration à travers une toile perméable et une couche de roche volcanique au pouvoir tampon, disposées sous les plantes. Les eaux de pluie, elles, sont récupérées dans un bassin de 500 m3. Après mélange et fertilisation dans une station de pompage, eaux de pluie et d'arrosage sont dirigées sur les rampes d'arrosage.

A granite and bronze fountain with the inscription, “Let Justice roll down like water and righteousness as a mighty stream,” (Amos 5:24) will be dedicated in Eden Park today in honor of the late Judge Gilbert Bettman.
The idea came from his widow, Marianna Brown Bettman, former judge of the Ohio First District Court of Appeals and now a law professor at the University of Cincinnati. “I want this to be a lasting memorial for what he stood for,” Mrs. Bettman said. “A major part of his life was his love of nature and the outdoors and his concern for justice.”
Judge Bettman, who died in February 2000 at age 82, was widely known for his individualism, compassion and moral courage. Defined by conservative Cincinnati as an American Civil Liberties Union Democrat in Republican robes, Judge Bettman served on the bench for 37 years. He often drew criticism for being too liberal and too soft on crime. But he described his position by saying: “If I have to go along with the mob spirit, I don't want the job. I'm going to do what's right no matter what the consequences.”
Mrs. Bettman said the lettering on the fountain explains who Judge Bettman was and what he stood for. Placing it in a park is a tribute to his lifestyle. The fountain will be placed in an area of Eden Park in Walnut Hills called the Hinkle Magnolia Garden, which is near the Krohn Conservatory.
“Being in a quiet area of a park fits his nature because he believed that parks should be quiet and a place where you could go to think and rededicate yourself,” Mrs. Bettman said. She said placing the fountain in a park in Walnut Hills adds special meaning to his memory. He grew up in Walnut Hills, and the judge and Mrs. Bettman lived there 22 years.
The fountain was designed by artist Ted Gantz of Sycamore Street Studios. The primary sponsor of the fountain is the Brown Foundation, administered by attorney Robert F. Brown. Judge Bettman served as counsel to the law firm of Brown, Cummins and Brown from 1992 until his death.

There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court
and detest the one who tells the truth.
You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,
you will not live in them;
though you have planted lush vineyards,
you will not drink their wine.
For I know how many are your offenses snd how great your sins.
There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes
and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.
Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times,
for the times are evil.
. . . “I hate, I despise your religious festivals;
your assemblies are a stench to me.
Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.
Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!

I've been meaning to check out the food trucks by the Red Hook Ball Fields for the past 2 years or so. Finally got the chance this past weekend. I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could try more stuff because all I had was the mixed ceviche and spicy pork huarache. But the 2 things I tried was pretty good.
Spicy Pork Huarache So this pic doesn't highlight the best part of this dish which is the meat hiding under all that guac and salsa. I know, I could have moved it and focused on the bits hanging out on the side. But I was in too much of a hurry to dig in. Plus, my friend was hungry too. We joked about having a support group for People With Friends Who Won't Let Them Eat Until Food Porn Has Been Properly Aquired. There needs to be pics of people on the sidelines with forks in their hands drooling and anxiously waiting when it comes to food porn.
Mixto Ceviche I had my reservations about getting ceviche off a tiny food cart especially on a hot summer day (there was a heat advisory the day I went) but it was pretty good. In fact, it's better than some ceviche I've had in restaurants.
The only con about getting food at the Red Hook Ball Fields is that there's not much else nearby (unless you want to take a stroll to IKEA or walk further up for the shops on Smith and Court). My friend mentioned the last time she was here, she met some folks who made a trek all the way from Queens via subway just for the food. I don't know, food was good. Just not sure it was THAT good. But you always gotta try it once I guess.
There was one more thing we really wanted to try which was the papusa. But the line for that truck was pretty long and we were already stuffed from the other food we got. Think I will have to make another trip back just for that. Although I heard you might be able to get it at the Brooklyn Flea as well. Anybody tried the papusa? Is it worth the wait in line?

Went to the HonFest in Baltimore today, so much fun!
HonFest is a local tradition. The Bawlmer term of endearment, Hon, short for Honey, embodies the warmth and affection bestowed upon our neighbors and visitors alike by historic working-women of Baltimore. HonFest is an annual celebration in honor of these women.
Since 1994, HonFest has grown from a tiny Baltimore's Best Hon pageant behind Café Hon, to a nationally recognized festival that covers four city blocks on Hampden's very own 36th Street. In recent years, the festival has been acknowledged by The New York Times, Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels, Nightly News with Brian Williams, The New York Post, Southern Living, The LA Times, HGTV, CNN, and just this April by The New Yorker.
The national media coverage isn't "breaking news" around here. Those of us who have witnessed the magnitude of more recent HonFests aren't surprised by national recognition. What has been more surprising to those close to the festival, however, has been the international recognition of late.
In answer to the question, "Is the hon a dying breed?," Denise Whiting, creator of HonFest, exclaimed, "No! Absolutely not. Hon will live on forever in our hearts, and HonFest gives everyone an opportunity to celebrate and embrace their heritage."
According to those statistics, it doesn't look like "HON" is going anywhere, any time soon. See ya in June, HON!
HonFest: A One-of-a-kind Baltimore Tradition
Think all summer street festivals are about the same? Check out HonFest. Locatecd in the Baltimore neighborhood of Hampden, HonFest celebrates the working women who helped make this great city what it is.
“Hon”, short for Honey, is a classic Bawlmer term of endearment. For generations, it has expressed the warmth and affection bestowed upon neighbors and visitors alike by our mothers and grandmothers.
Since 1994, HonFest has grown from a tiny Baltimore's Best Hon pageant behind Café Hon, to a nationally recognized festival that covers four city blocks on Hampden's very own 36th Street. In recent years, the festival has been acknowledged by The New York Times, Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels, Nightly News with Brian Williams, The New York Post, Southern Living, The LA Times, HGTV, CNN, and The New Yorker.
Each year, revelers from every corner of our city, region, and nation--not to mention from overseas—have come to Hampden to celebrate Baltimore heritage and experience what makes the town like no other.
WHAT IS A HON?
The term Hon is actually a friendly greeting and comes from the word honey. Around here, however, the women who vie to become Baltimore’s Best Hon are a vision of the sixties-era. They are women with beehive hairdos, bright-blue eye shadow, spandex pants and anything with leopard print!
FEEL LIKE YOU WON'T FIT IN?
At HonFest you too can get your own beehive in our Glamour Lounge, listen to talented local musicians, and check out the work of local artists, while you stroll down The Avenue.
HOW CAN I FIND IT!?
This nationally recognized festival covers four city blocks on 36th Street (The Avenue) in the neighborhood of Hampden. Hampden is a revered old-style Baltimore neighborhood, filled with quirky shops, quaint restaurants and endearing residents. HonFest gives local storeowners the opportunity to spill-out onto the sidewalk and showcase their wares. HonFest is a favorite destination for young and old, tourist and resident.

Rainbow Serpent
The following has been sourced from www.barry.warmkessel.com/AUSTR1-3.html
The Rainbow Serpent Shelter is an enormous painting of a Serpent. It has a length of 6.1 metres (20 feet), the longest serpent drawing in Australia. Its big head resembles that of a dragon, with rows of fearsome teeth in the jaws. The distance between the tips of the distended jaws is almost a metre. The spine and rib structure of the beast are carefully indicated. The whole composition is beautifully painted, with fine lines of red ochre on a white background.
The serpent plays an important role in all major religions, but also in the myths of the region. To Aborigines, they are among the most potent and profound of all rock paintings. In its various guises, the Rainbow Serpents of western Arnhem Land originated from the sea. The scholar Mr. G. Chaloupka believes this Serpent is called 'Aburga' painted within the last 1,500 years by the now extinct Amurdak-speaking Malakiri clan.
Authors Roberts and Parker write in their book "Ancient Ochres, the Aboriginal Paintings of Mount Borradaile": "This is a dry, accessible shelter with no signs of habitation, indicating that it was strictly a ceremonial site. There are various habitation shelters in the immediate vicinity. In this particular shelter there is very little art other than the main image, and there have been no images superimposed over any part of it. Clearly, this is testimony to the importance of this painting."
More Western Arnhem Land images in Album Arnhem Land
Without doubt the "Catacombs" at Mount Borradaile in Arnhem Land would be the most memorable place that Australia has to offer. Difficult of access, Davidson's Lodge at Mount Borradaile has a lease over 700 sq km of wilderness and is only available to a limited number of visitors.
The "Catacombs" - located nearby - have been formed in Pre-Cambrian sandstone rocks that have essentially lain unchanged for around 600 million years. The sandstone has been eroded by wind and water creating a massive cave system that is peppered with unbelievable Aboriginal art. Evidence suggests that aboriginal people inhabited these areas 40,000 years ago. The artwork appears to been made after the end of the the last ice age - around 10,000 years ago.

In October, 2007, my wife, Karen, and I took a cruise along the Rhine-Main-Danube Waterway. We commenced at Amsterdam and ended at Budapest. One afternoon we travelled the Romantic Rhine (also known as the Middle Rhine, Heroic Rhine, Rhine Gorge and Rhine Valley). The day was dull and misty, so it was hard to obtain crisp photos. To further aggravate the situation, I was taking photos on a moving boat with a hand-held Fuji Finepix Z1. When I arrived home and examined the images, I found them to be somewhat uninspiring. Using my experience with PhotoShop, I post-processed the pictures and uploaded them to flickr. They looked a lot better. Over the past six months, I’ve also worked on them with a number of other filters to give them a painterly feel.
They have been posted for sale on Imagekind, and I currently have a blog at Blogger.com that plays into my Imagekind page. I have also created accounts at Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Travelocity, Expedia, IGOUGO, Amazon, Chapters/Indigo, Shelfari, Dopplr, TripAdvisor, VirtualTourist, Driftr, TripSay, LonelyPlanet, Tripwolf, Gather, Simpy, Delicious, and some others I can’t remember. As time goes on, I will link everything to flickr, Imagekind and Blogger. In addition, I am going to take the marketing advice provided by Imagekind. Here’s the link:

I have a lot more of my German photos to post, and I also have a lot of abstracts to flog. About seven months ago, I mentioned that I was going to do more research on my Uncle Bill Watson. To do so, I will have to visit Archives Canada in Ottawa, The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Mount Hope and various sites in England and Wales. The results of this work will go to Blogger.
There will be other ventures as well. I am semi-retired, and I don’t want to sit around. My projects and the grandkids should keep me busy.
The interferon and rebetol are leaving Meg pretty exhausted. She had her first blood text since starting therapy for Hepatitis C, and the results are not what the doctor had hoped. Her white blood cell count is low as well. She is currently undergoing a twenty-four week course of chemo, but may be pushed into a forty-eight week course. Still, her spirits are high and she’s keeping busy.
Jess will deliver baby Will in about a month, so we’re gearing up for that.
I hope to visit you all some time next week. I don’t like to post pictures and not visit.

Currently residing in Manhattan, Thomas Bergeron has performed across North America, Europe, and Asia as a jazz and classical musician with orchestras, chamber groups, small jazz groups, show bands, as a soloist, and can be heard on the Naxos and Koch record labels.
He is a sought after teacher and clinician across the Northeast, currently serving as Studio Teacher of Trumpet, Director of Brass Chamber Music, and jazz coach at Williams College and Bennington College.

Ελληνική Χριστιανική ταινία «Κήρυκας Ευαγγελίου» Σηκώστε τον σταυρό για να κηρύξετε το ευαγγέλιο και να καταθέσετε μαρτυρία προς τον Κύριο (Τρέιλερ)
Η χριστιανή Τσεν Γιτσίν πιστεύει στον Κύριο εδώ και πολλά χρόνια και έχει υπάρξει αρκετά τυχερή ώστε να καλωσορίσει την επιστροφή του Κυρίου Ιησού κατά τις έσχατες ημέρες – τον Παντοδύναμο Θεό! Κατάφερε μέσα από τα λόγια του Παντοδύναμου Θεού να κατανοήσει το επείγον θέλημά Του να σώσει την ανθρωπότητα, καθώς και την αποστολή και την ευθύνη που πρέπει να αναλάβει ένα δημιούργημα, κι έτσι άρχισε να μοιράζεται το ευαγγέλιο και να γίνεται μάρτυρας του έργου του Θεού κατά τις έσχατες ημέρες. Κάνοντας αυτό, ταξιδεύει σε πολλές πόλεις και επαρχίες και υφίσταται επανειλημμένα καταστολή και απόρριψη από τους θρησκευτικούς κύκλους, καθώς και καταδίωξη και διώξεις από την κυβέρνηση του Κ.Κ.Κ. Υπομένει πολλά δεινά. Ωστόσο, υπό την καθοδήγηση του λόγου του Θεού, παραμένει πιστή στην αποστολή της, δεν φοβάται τον κίνδυνο, και προχωρά με θάρρος...

Hooch
My last month in Vietnam, I no longer had to go on search & destroy missions in the jungle. The reason was I was "short". Being short was when you had very little time left on your one-year tour. It was a time when your thoughts were on getting the hell out of Vietnam and not on the job at hand. It was a time when you were paranoid that you would be wounded or killed after making it this far. So Army brass assigned short people to a temporary rear job until their time was up.
I was assigned to a firebase where I was given the job of unloading and delivering supplies from helicopters. It was heaven. I had my own "hooch" to sleep in at night. The snapshot you see is my hooch.
I can't tell where the name hooch came from but I can tell you what it consisted of. A hooch in a structural sense was made from a piece of half-round steel culvert about eight feet long and six feet wide. A layer of sand bags covered the steel for protection at night from mortar rounds. The green material you see at the entrance is mosquito netting that I would drape down at night. Just behind the netting is a poncho liner that was draped over the netting if it was raining outside. Inside was a canvas cot that kept me above the rats and insects that wondered in at night. Living in a hooch was similar I would imagine to living in a cave.
In the lower left corner of the entrance, you can see a black, plastic, jerrycan. It held five gallons of water. I would fill the can with water every morning after breakfast so the sun would heat it during the day. In the evening, I used the hot water to fill a canvas shower bucket and take my shower. Wow, it was great. The wooden skid was my front porch. I could sit on the edge of the cot, rest my feet on the skid and read a book or roll a joint. Just inside the door was the rucksack I had used when I was heading out to the jungle. Now it was sitting there almost empty and unused. I still kept ammunition for my M16 rifle and a few frag grenades in it but that was about it.
You cannot imagine what a relief and a pleasure it was to get out of the jungle and have my own private hooch to live in.
Eggs from the megapode birds.

Hier zien we de mannen die elke dag eieren zoeken in de as aan de voet van de vulkaan. Rondom zie je overal heel diepe putten. Daar zitten de eieren van de megapode vogels in verscholen. De ideale plaats voor die vogels om hun eieren veilig te laten uitbroeden in de warmte van de as. Eens uitgebroed kunnen de vogeltjes op eigen kracht naar boven klauteren. De eieren zijn heel lekker en worden duur verhandeld.
Het is een heuse karwei, de as is heel bloemzacht, ikzelf ben van een boordje geschoven in de put met de camera in de hand. Gelukkig is alles heerlijk zacht, maar de camera haat dit en ikzelf zat behoorlijk onder de as!
Leven onder de as van de vulkaan, dag in, dag uit... alle hotels zijn leeg en verwoest. De stad lijkt heel hallucinant. Ook de huizen zitten onder de as. Nog één hotel blijft met staats-steun open voor de enkele verdwaalde toeristen. De lokale bevolking is erg uitgedund. Alleen heel arme mensen zijn genoodzaakt om te blijven wonen. Aan ons hotel is er elke dag een ploeg paraat om de as weg te scheppen, een heel ongezond werk. De as is heel zacht en voelt aan als losse zachte poeder. Er valt voortdurend as uit de lucht en na enkele uren zit je onder het stof. Veel mensen lopen voortdurend met een masker voor de mond, om de longen te beschermen. De rode tong en tanden bij veel mensen wordt veroorzaakt door het kauwen van 'betelnut'. Een mengsel van mosterdzaadjes, kalk en beetlenoot.
De Tavurvur is een actieve stratovulkaan nabij de Papoea-Nieuw-Guineaanse stad Rabaul op de noordoostelijke punt van het eiland Nieuw-Brittannië. Het vormt het meest actieve onderdeel de Rabaulcaldera (8 bij 14 km), waarbinnen het gelegen is aan de oostelijke rand. De vulkaan is binnen de stad Rabaul berucht om de vele verwoestende uitbarstingen.

Tavurvur is an active stratovolcano near Rabaul in East New Britain province, Papua New Guinea. It is a sub-vent of the Rabaul caldera and lies on the eastern rim of the larger feature. The volcano is most well known for its devastating eruptions over Rabaul.
The volcano is the most active feature of the Rabaul caldera, and has erupted as recently as January 2009

Megapodes do not incubate their eggs with their body heat as other birds do, but bury them. Their eggs are unique in having a large yolk, making up 50-70% of the egg weight.[2] They are best known for building massive nest-mounds of decaying vegetation, which the male attends, adding or removing litter to regulate the internal heat while the eggs hatch. However, some bury their eggs in other ways: there are burrow-nesters which use geothermal heat, and others which simply rely on the heat of the sun warming sand.

Little changed since its construction in 1924, the ropeway is used to bring shale from a quarry on Claughton Moor, approximately a mile and a quarter distant from, and 750 ft above, Hanson Brick Works.
At the quarry, shale is lifted by a front loading shovel and moved up a ramp to be tipped into an initial crusher, and fed into the loading bunker, from which the ropeway buckets are loaded. Having made the journey to the works, the shale is either tipped into dry stock, or loaded into a dump-truck and moved into the stocking area.
The remaining ropeway is one of two, originally constructed to serve the east and west works. That to the west works was taken out of use when that works ceased operation in 1990. The trestles of the former route to the west works remain, although the rope is now gone. Both routes started together at the quarry and radiated out in basically straight lines, to cross the A683 about a quarter of a mile apart. The remaining route has 26 trestles and from the works, initially climbs gently across an open field before climbing more steeply up the wooded valley side. About half way into its journey, the ropeway emerges from the woods to climb more gently across open moorland, before finally following the line of a narrow tributary valley for the last section. A couple of trestles before the top, there is a slight bend to the right to take the route into the top station.
The ropeway is powered by gravity. The extra weight of the loaded buckets pulls the empties back to the loading point. There is a braking system to maintain the correct speed and allow the rope to be brought to a controlled stand when required.
When "on the rope" the buckets are suspended from a hanger, the head of which has two free running wheels, and two clips. The clips sit on top of the rope, to which they are held fast by a combination of gravity and friction between the rope and the clips. As a bucket approaches the top or bottom station, the wheels engage with a rising Bull rail to lift the clips off the rope. The bucket is then free to run along this rail, which allows it to be manually controlled during the loading and unloading processes.
The loading and unloading operations require two men at each end of the ropeway and are achieved in an average time of 20 to 30 seconds.
At the loading point the first operator catches the bucket as it comes off the up rope onto the guide rail and guides it to a stop underneath the loading chute then returns to take the next bucket. The second operator loads the bucket, pushes it around the guide rail then releases it onto the down rope at the correct moment to maintain the desired speed of the moving rope. Typically this is when the previously loaded bucket can be seen to be two trestles into its journey. This maintains the optimum weight distribution between upward moving empty and downward moving filled buckets.
The ropeway generally operates with between 40 and 46 buckets with a round trip for an individual bucket of about 32 minutes. The daily capacity is 250 tonnes.

"Tausende Menschen stehen auf gegen Judenhass"
Von Richard Herzinger,
Korrespondent für Politik
und Gesellschaft
"Wir wollen, dass sich Juden in Deutschland sicher fühlen." Dies war die zentrale Botschaft von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel auf der vom Zentralrat der Juden veranstalteten Kundgebung "Steh auf! Nie wieder Judenhass" in Berlin. Es müsse klar sein, dass jüdisches Leben zu uns gehöre und Deutschland "unsere gemeinsame Heimat ist". Angriffe gegen Juden rüttelten "an den Fundamenten unserer freiheitlichen Gesellschaft"
Was zu anderen Gelegenheiten als Fußball-Fanmeile dient, stand an diesem Sonntag im Zeichen der Solidarität gegen einen sich ausbreitenden Judenhass in Deutschland. Bis zum Beginn der Manifestation hatte sich die Straße des 17. Juni am Brandenburger Tor mit rund 5000 Demonstranten gefüllt. Unzählige Israelfahnen wehten, ein großes Transparent forderte "Frieden – Schalom", andere "Wachsamkeit gegen Antisemitismus".
Vor dem Brandenburger Tor haben Tausende von Demonstranten....
Außer Spruchbändern von jüdischen Gemeinden und der Deutsch-Israelischen Gesellschaft war unter anderem das einer kleinen Kolonie der FDP zu erkennen. Eine Gruppe hielt neben der Israelflagge Fahnen in den Nationalfarben der Ukraine hoch, und sogar eine kleine Abordnung einer "Republik Biafra" bekundete ihre Solidarität mit den Juden und dem jüdischen Staat.
Im abgesperrten VIP-Bereich direkt vor der Rednertribüne gaben sich Repräsentanten eines breiten Querschnitts aus Politik und Gesellschaft in großer Einmütigkeit ein einträchtiges Stelldichein. Die Fraktionsvorsitzenden aller im Bundestag vertretenen Parteien waren ebenso erschienen wie der SPD-Vorsitzende Sigmar Gabriel und Außenminister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, DFB-Präsident Wolfgang Niersbach, Verdi-Chef Frank Bsirske und Ex-Außenminister Joschka Fischer, aber auch Aiman Mayzek, der Vorsitzende des Zentralrats der Muslime. Bemerkenswerterweise war in der ersten Reihe, direkt neben der Bundeskanzlerin, Ex-Bundespräsident Christian Wulff platziert.
"Schlimmsten antisemitischen Parolen seit vielen, vielen Jahrzehnten"
Judenfeindliche Hassparolen und Übergriffe hatten in den vergangenen Monaten die jüdischen Gemeinden in Deutschland zutiefst schockiert und verunsichert. Wie in anderen europäischen Ländern kam es auch hierzulande auf propalästinensischen Demonstrationen gegen die israelische Militäraktion in Gaza zu antisemitischen Ausfällen, die in ihrer Aggressivität das überstiegen, was auf deutschen Straßen bisher schon an judenhasserischer Agitation zu vernehmen war.
So scheuten sich antiisraelische Demonstranten in verschiedenen deutschen Städten nicht, die Parole "Hamas, Hamas, Juden ins Gas" zu skandieren. In der Folge kam es auch zu gewalttätigen Übergriffen gegen jüdische Bürger sowie gegen Synagogen, etwa mit Molotowcocktails. Überdies ist im Internet eine Welle brutalster Hetze gegen Juden zu verzeichnen.
Dieter Graumann, Präsident des Zentralrats der Juden in Deutschland, erklärte dazu, er wolle nicht dramatisieren, aber "das waren wirklich die schlimmsten antisemitischen Parolen seit vielen, vielen Jahrzehnten". Er habe in dieser Situation ausreichend Empathie der deutschen Gesellschaft erwartet. Graumann begrüßte sehr herzlich die Gäste und Redner des Tages, an erster Stelle Bundespräsident Joachim Gauck. Angela Merkel, die Hauptrednerin des Nachmittags, hieß er er als "treue Freundin der jüdischen Gemeinde" willkommen, die mit ihrer Zusage, auf dieser Kundgebung zu sprechen, "nicht eine Sekunde gezögert" habe.
Dass die deutsche Politik und Gesellschaft hier in solcher Geschlossenheit vertreten sei und so viele Teilnehmer gekommen seien, beweise den deutschen Juden: "Wir sind doch nicht allein. Zusammen sind wir viele, und wenn wir alle zusammenstehen, wird uns keine Macht der Welt etwas anhaben können." Er bekräftigte, dass sich die jüdischen Bürger nicht einschüchtern lassen: "Das Judentum in Deutschland hat Zukunft."
Freilich habe er sich schon gefragt, warum wieder die Juden selbst zu einer solchen Manifestation hätten aufrufen mussten, und eine solche Initiative nicht auch einmal von nichtjüdischen Institutionen ausgehen könne. Der EKD-Vorsitzende Nikolaus Schneider, der neben dem Regierenden Bürgermeister Klaus Wowereit, dem Vorsitzenden der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz, Reinhard Marx, und Ronald Lauder, dem Präsidenten des Jüdischen Weltkongresses, das Wort an die Versammlung richtete, reagierte in seiner Ansprache auf diese Mahnung: "Ich habe mir das gut gemerkt."
Schneider erinnerte daran, dass die christlichen Kirchen in ihrer Geschichte zur Entstehung des Antisemitismus beigetragen hätten. Es sei deshalb zu einfach, mit dem Finger nur auf muslimischen Judenhass zu zeigen. Vielmehr gelte es, selbstkritisch auch eigene Überreste der verhängnisvollen antijüdischen Tradition zu hinterfragen. Es gelte nun unmissverständlich auszusprechen: "Antisemitismus ist Sünde gegen den heiligen Geist, ist Gotteslästerung."
"Wir sind Freunde. Für immer"
Kardinal Marx bekräftigte dies, indem er für die Katholische Kirche, den Juden zurief: "Wir sind Freunde. Für immer." Er dankte Lauder dafür, dass sich der Jüdische Weltkongress vehement für die Verteidigung der grausam verfolgten Christen im Nahen Osten einsetze. Schon daher könnten sich die Juden ihrerseits der Solidarität der Christen sicher sein. Marx erinnerte daran, dass wir der Bibel den "revolutionärsten" Gedanken aller Zeiten zu verdanken hätten: dass "alle Menschen gleich und Ebenbilder Gottes sind".
Dafür, dass es uns diese Botschaft, die eine der Grundlagen unserer Zivilisation bilde, überliefert habe, "sind wir dem Volk Israel dankbar". Lauder selbst verwies auf die Anstrengungen, die Deutschland nach dem Ende des Nationalsozialismus zur Überwindung von Judenhass unternommen habe. "Wir werden uns die Früchte von 70 Jahren Zusammenarbeit nicht von einem Haufen Extremisten zerstören lasen", rief er aus. Diese hassten nicht nur die Juden, sondern die ganze demokratische Welt.
Alle Redner betonten, Kritik an der israelischen Regierungspolitik könne niemals Judenfeindschaft und eine Dämonisierung und Delegitimierung des jüdischen Staats rechtfertigen. So rief Wowereit aus: "Deutschland steht ohne Wenn und Aber zum Existenzrecht Israels." Auch waren alle Redner bemüht, klarzustellen, dass sie keineswegs alle Muslime für den islamistischen Judenhass verantwortlich machten und gleichermaßen Angriffe auf Moscheen verurteilten. Dennoch, betonte Graumann, müssten die muslimischen Verbände noch viel mehr tun, um die erschreckende Entwicklung in den eigenen Reihen zu bekämpfen: "Wann, wenn nicht jetzt?"

Christian Testimonies | God Didn’t Have the Heart to Let Me Fall Into the Underworld
Almighty God says: “Look back to the time of Noah’s ark: Mankind was deeply corrupt, had strayed from the blessing of God, was no longer cared for by God, and had lost the promises of God. They lived in darkness, without the light of God. Thus they became licentious by nature, abandoned themselves to hideous depravity. Such men could no longer receive the promise of God; they were unfit to witness the face of God, nor to hear the voice of God, for they had abandoned God, had cast aside all that He had bestowed upon them, and had forgotten the teachings of God. Their heart strayed farther and farther from God, and as it did, they became depraved beyond all reason and humanity, and became increasingly evil. Thus they came ever closer to death, and fell under the wrath and punishment of God. Only Noah worshiped God and shunned evil, and so he was able to hear the voice of God, and hear the instructions of God. He built the ark according to the instructions of God’s word, and assembled all manner of living creatures. And in this way, once everything had been prepared, God unleashed His destruction upon the world. Only Noah and the seven members of his family survived the destruction, for Noah worshiped Jehovah and shunned evil” (“God Presides Over the Fate of All Mankind” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). After reading this passage of God’s words I fell into a state of deep contemplation …
…
God’s words say, “Look back to the time of Noah’s ark: Mankind was deeply corrupt, had strayed from the blessing of God, was no longer cared for by God, and had lost the promises of God. They lived in darkness, without the light of God. Thus they became licentious by nature, abandoned themselves to hideous depravity. Such men could no longer receive the promise of God; they were unfit to witness the face of God, nor to hear the voice of God, for they had abandoned God, had cast aside all that He had bestowed upon them, and had forgotten the teachings of God. Their heart strayed farther and farther from God, and as it did, they became depraved beyond all reason and humanity, and became increasingly evil. Thus they came ever closer to death, and fell under the wrath and punishment of God” (“God Presides Over the Fate of All Mankind” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). I was very moved by God’s words. I recalled how becoming an officer in the CCP administration was like falling into a great vat of sin, sinking deeper with every step. I remembered all my fraudulent ways of making money, how I used my position to enrich myself, the high life and the fine meals, and how debased and debauched I became. I was living a subhuman existence, and it was all because I had moved far away from God and was associating with evil demons. My predicament had totally been a result of associating with Satan and demons, and if God hadn’t saved me my fate would have been the same as those people who betrayed God in the time of Noah—God’s wrath and punishment would have befallen me and I would have died like my colleague! Nowadays, God has been incarnated in human form to express truths in order to cleanse and save people. He has come to awaken our hearts and spirits, to help us to leave sin behind and gain His care and protection. God’s work is extremely practical and His love is extremely real. When I turned back to God and began to live my life according to His words God not only saved me from sin and blessed me, He also saved my life! This is what made me understand what God meant when He said: “Only Noah worshiped God and shunned evil, and so he was able to hear the voice of God, and hear the instructions of God. He built the ark according to the instructions of God’s word, and assembled all manner of living creatures. And in this way, once everything had been prepared, God unleashed His destruction upon the world. Only Noah and the seven members of his family survived the destruction, for Noah worshiped Jehovah and shunned evil.” God is telling us that Noah gained God’s blessings and survived because he listened to God, he did everything according to God’s words, he worshiped God, and he stayed far away from evil. We, in these modern times, must also conduct our lives according to God’s words. No matter how bad or corrupt we were before, as long as we can accept truths, truly repent, and implement God’s words, then we too shall gain God’s salvation and grace. I’m sure that anyone who hears how God worked on me will be able to understand that God pulls out all the stops when it comes to saving people and that He won’t let a single innocent soul fall into the underworld!
For my brothers-in-arms in the all-reaching PSB police force I want you all to know that the words above all come directly from my heart. I know that you have all had many bitter experiences that you find hard to talk about, and that you have to do many things that you don’t want to, but whatever you do don’t be fooled by the CCP and fight against Almighty God any longer. I urge you all to give yourselves some space to back off otherwise you will find yourselves on the road to damnation. As soon as someone does anything that offends God then they are beyond redemption forever because blaspheming or resisting God is a sin that cannot be forgiven in this life or in the afterlife! Just like Ren Changxia, a police chief in the province of Henan who used her position to violently clamp down on The Church of Almighty God and arrest its members: She died a terrible death in a traffic accident. This completely confirms what Almighty God has said: “The Wicked Must Be Punished.” “He who defies the work of God shall be sent to hell.” How can ordinary mortals fight against God?! Also, my own experience should be enough to tell you that God doesn’t keep score of our transgressions, so as long as you give up your evil ways and start doing good, repent before God and return to Him, then you too can enjoy peace and happiness!

El Muro de Lennon
Praga, República Checa
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muro_de_John_Lennon
tomado de:
www.mundocity.com/europa/praga/muro-john-lennon.html
Foto tomada con la Harinezumi 2 en abril 2010 en Praha
En todo el mundo hay paredes cubiertas con inscripciones y dibujos, con graffitis, y normalmente no causan buena impresión. Ver esta pared en el centro de Praga, en una plaza rodeada de palacios ocupados por embajadas, tampoco impresiona bien... a menos que se conozca su historia y su relación con John Lennon, quien, curiosamente nunca visitó Praga.
John Lennon fue muy admirado por los jóvenes pacifistas de la Europa Central y del Este en tiempos comunistas. Las canciones occidentales eran prohibidas por las autoridades, especialmente las de Lennon, por su prédica de la libertad, esa libertad que era inexistente allí; incluso hubo músicos encarcelados sólo por interpretar canciones de los Beatles.
Cuando John Lennon fue asesinado en 1980 se convirtió en una especie de héroe para muchos jóvenes, que una vez decidieron retratarlo en esta pared, como homenaje y como una forma de desafío a las autoridades (no se sabe exactamente por qué esta pared, o si fue ésta como pudo ser cualquier otra). Haciendo esto, los jóvenes activistas arriesgaban ir a prisión por "actividades subversivas contra el estado", pero eso no los detuvo; durante las noches se llegaban hasta el muro para dejar sus inscripciones. Primero fueron letras de los Beatles y frases de John Lennon, después se convirtió en un tema político y dejaban sus propias impresiones y sus sueños de paz y libertad.
La policía varias veces blanqueó el muro pero nunca logró mantenerlo limpio, ni instalando cámaras de vigilancia. Al día siguiente ya había nuevas frases y dibujos...
El muro de Lennon representó no solo una especie de memorial a John Lennon y sus ideales de paz sino también un monumento a la libertad de expresión y a la rebelión no violenta de los jóvenes checos contra el régimen. Puede parecer demasiado pretensioso, pero hay quienes dicen que el muro de Lennon contribuyó a inspirar la Revolución de Terciopelo, que pacíficamente llevó a la caida del comunismo en la antigua Checoslovaquia en 1989.
El muro se encuentra en la Plaza del Gran Priorato, a sólo unos pasos de la Isla Kampa, y pertenece a la orden religiosa de los Caballeros de la Cruz de Malta, orden que data del siglo XI y que recuperó sus posesiones luego de la caida del comunismo.
Hacia fines de siglo la pared solía estar aún cubierta de graffitis anticomunistas, pero en 1998 los propietarios encararon trabajos de reconstrucción, considerando que se trataba de una pared de piedra con varios siglos de existencia y que muchos turistas habían "picado" el muro con intención de llevar un trozo como recuerdo. La piedra rugosa fue cubierta por una capa lisa de cemento y se convocó a una multitud de jóvenes para "repintar" el muro con inscripciones. Las críticas al resultado final fueron muchas; jóvenes que probablemente ni habían nacido siquiera en los años '70 pintaron flores y mariposas, basándose en los clichés de la época hippie, todos con la misma pintura, con pinceles facilitados por la iglesia, dueña de la pared... nada había allí del espíritu anarquista y reaccionario de los orígenes.
De todos modos, fue una cuestión de tiempo que el muro de Lennon se cubriera espontáneamente de graffitis. Actualmente y por la afluencia del turismo hay inscripciones de todo tipo que, porsupuesto, nada tienen que ver con los orígenes. De todos modos y mientras exista, el muro de Lennon seguirá siendo un símbolo, un recordatorio para las generaciones futuras de que vale la pena luchar por la libertad.
