Seismic Sensor Security

Arutz Sheva has a story about a new system to bring Israel's security tentacles stretching out to all perimeters to protect our brothers and sisters in Eretz HaKodesh. The only point that bothers me is that they are sharing this new technology with Homeland Security in the USA (United Socialist America):

Spider Technologies Security’s Tarantula system is comprised of an underground web of small, self-processing, three-dimensional sensors that detect digging, walking or vehicular movement. Developers say the Tarantula is accurate at twice the ranges of existing systems, detecting human targets at distances of about 30 meters (98 feet), and vehicles up to 300 meters (984 feet) in field tests.

Sensors buried 50 centimeters underground at 40-meter intervals form the Tarantula’s web-like array called a SpiderTech Web (STW). Each STW can control

up to 200 sensors.

Complete security systems would connect up to another 200 STWs to a central-ized computer-based command center.

Field tests have demonstrated the system's ability to cancel out noise from multiple sources in isolated as well as congested environments.

He Covers the Globe

The John Batchelor Show has a clip [from out of the far past] you may find fascinating:

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street:

You can hear John cover the events of the world, in his eclectic and penetrating style, each Saturday night and Sunday night via the following:

NO SNOW FOR MOSCOW THIS WINTER ... maybe

What would Dr. Shivago have been without the snow?

The idea came from Mayor Yury Luzhkov, who is no stranger to playing God. In 2002, he spearheaded a project to reverse the flow of the vast River Ob through Siberia to help irrigate the country's parched Central Asian neighbors. Although that idea hasn't exactly turned out as planned - scientists have said it's not feasible - this time, Luzhkov says, there's no way he can fail. [Do you hear this Bloomberg?]

For just a few million dollars, the mayor's office will hire the Russian Air Force to spray a fine chemical mist over the clouds before they reach the capital, forcing them to dump their snow outside the city. Authorities say this will be a boon for Moscow, which is typically covered with a blanket of snow from November to March.

Road crews won't need to constantly clear the streets, and traffic - and quality of life - will undoubtedly improve.

Controlling the weather in Moscow is nothing new, he says. Ahead of the two main holidays celebrated in the city each year - Victory Day in May and City Day in September - the often cash-strapped air force is paid to make sure that it doesn't, well, rain on the parades.

With a city budget of $40 billion a year (larger than New York City's budget), Moscow can easily afford the $2-3 million price tag to keep the skies blue as spectators watch the tanks and rocket launchers roll along Red Square. Now there's a new challenge for the air force: Moscow's notorious blizzards.

Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan Sunday & Monday

Connecting the end with the beginning

It is well known that the Torah repeats the story of creation twice, once in the first chapter of Genesis and again in the second chapter. The first story begins with the familiar verse: “In the beginning God [Elokim] created the heavens and the earth.” The second account begins with the verse: “These are the chronicles of the heavens and the earth when they were created, on the day that God [Havayah Elokim] made earth and heavens.”

On the first verse, Rashi comments that it denotes God with His name, Elokim and not with his Name, Havayah, because,

At first He thought of creating the world with the measure of judgment, but He saw that the world could not be sustained this way, so he placed mercy first and added it to the measure of judgment. And that is why later it says: “…On the day that God [Havayah Elokim] made earth and heavens.”

Thus, the first account of creation is underscored by the measure of judgment, while the second account is inspired by the measure of mercy.
Amazingly, the numerical difference between these two verses exactly equals the numerical value of the last three words of the Torah, לעיני כל ישראל “before the eyes of all of Israel.”

בראשית ברא א־להים את השמים ואת הארץ = 2701

אלה תולדות השמים והארץ בהבראם ביום עשות י־הוה א־להים ארץ ושמים = 3462

And,

לעיני כל ישראל = 761

Thus, the last three words of the Torah, when connected (like a ring) and added back to the first verse of the Torah, equal the first verse of the second account of creation:

לעיני כל ישראל בראשית ברא א־להים את השמים ואת הארץ =

אלה תולדות השמים והארץ בהבראם ביום עשות י־הוה א־להים ארץ ושמים

This is a beautiful example illustrating how “the end [of the Torah] is enwedged in the beginning [of the Torah],” a point that we illustrate on Simchat Torah by completing our public reading of the Torah and then immediately commencing its reading at the beginning.

There go the fruits...

and maybe other food stuffs:

Biodegradable, edible plastic wrap could preserve food longer and reduce the environmental impact of plastic packaging.

Why the skeptical title?

An edible plastic coating to preserve our fruits (and perhaps other foods) that ward off microbials detrimental to one's health. The only problem with this is the edible plastic is created from treating two food substances, extracting and purifying them and then creating the plastic from the merger. The substances are crab or shrimp shells and egg whites.

One Brave Woman

VIdeo of Sharsheret creator, Rachel. Sharsheret, a national not-for-profit organization of cancer survivors dedicated to addressing the unique challenges facing young Jewish women living with breast cancer.

Various comments concerning Rachel's situation:

Contact Dr Howard Bruckner in NYC

People who have Cancer should get 2 books. One is the Rave Diet and the other one is Healing cancer from the inside out. The author of both books is a man by the name of Mike Anderson. They should also consider going to a Chiropracter (preferably a Network Spinal Analysis Chiropracter). All the doctors know how to do is plug the body with toxins and cut out tissues and limbs. No cancer treatment really helps anyone long term !!

The Gerson Institute basically raises a person's pH by uses alkalizing juices that detoxify the cells while supporting the liver by detoxifying the deadly acid being removed during the cleaning cycle using by use of coffee enemas.

Many tines After someone is diagnosed with Cancer they could live for many years without doing anything. They might have been diagnosed with Cancer but the cancer cells in their body has been there for years. In the meantime they could search for an alternative path. Most people will not do the alternaive paths that i'm suggesting because the insurance companies won't cover it. Not because it doesn't work !!

Heavy treatments of chemo are actually mustard gas!?

USS New York: A Voyage of Destiny »

BY RABBI YAAKOV SPIVAK

There you are, dear ship

Emerging from the murky fog

A ghost grey color envelopes you

But you are very much alive

Your powerful engines have thrust you into the great ocean

You embrace your cargo of eight hundred United States Marines

Your flight deck opens its palm

Revealing Iron Eagles of Prey and Rescue

But your color does not lie

There are ghosts deep within you

Those whose deaths have not been avenged

From where your steel was taken we shall all remember

Within your bow lies the iron and smoke of eleven September

Sail on dear ship!

Tenderly you bear the blood of the Innocent

Your destiny… to bring to Justice the Guilty

One day, those who have shed blood will face you

You will bring Vengeance to the cruel

And Peace to the Merciful

Sail on…

Israel’s Growth Outpaces the World

i.e., No Place LIke Home

The Central Bureau of Statistics has released the latest population figures for Israeli cities and towns. Israel’s population as of June 30, 2009 stood at nearly 7.43 million – nearly three-quarters of a percent more than it was at the end of 2008. Some 623,000 people (8.4%) live in rural villages and towns of fewer than 2,000 residents.

Israel's growth rate currently stands at an annual rate of approximately 1.5% - compared to 1.188% for the entire world in 2008. The ranking of Israel’s 20 largest cities did not change. Jerusalem is still the largest city, with a population of 769,400, followed by Tel Aviv (393,200), Haifa (265,300), Rishon LeTzion (226,500), and Ashdod (210,500).

Jerusalem also grew by the largest amount – 5,800 people, just over three-quarters of a percent. It was followed by Petach Tikvah, Israel’s sixth-largest city, which added more than 2,000 more people (just over 1%) in the first half of 2009. The hareidi-religious city of Modi'in Illit, also known as Kiryat Sefer, jumped next-highest, by 1,800 people - a full 4.3% - to 43,500 people.

Rounding out Israel's top ten cities are Be'er Sheva (up .032% in the first half of 2009), Netanya (.067), Holon (.064), and Bnei Brak (.091). Only three cities dropped in population during the first half of 2009: Eilat, Tiberias, and Nazareth Illit, each by between 200 and 300 residents.

Growth in Judea and Samaria, Israel’s fastest-growing regions, continued to surpass that of the rest of the country, but slightly less so. Beitar Illit grew during the first half of 2009 by 2.9%, to a population of 35,700 residents, and Beit El grew by 3.7% to a population of 5,600. Between 1995 and 2007, the population of Judea and Samaria grew by 107%, from 130,000 to 270,000 people - compared with 29% in the rest of the country. From 2005 until 2007, population growth in Judea and Samaria was three times higher than it was in the rest of Israel - 5% a year compared to 1.7%.

Wind Conditions:

Gusts 30 mph or more

LaGuardia: wind 31, gusts 44

Kennedy: wind 32, gusts 52

The New York City region was whipped by wind gusts as high as 60 miles per hour that caused at least three deaths, knocked out power to thousands and delayed flights and commuter trains.

The National Weather Service has a High Wind warning in effect for NYC and part of Long Island and New Jersey until 11 PM, meaning winds of at least 40 mph (64 kph) and gusts of 58 mph or more are possible and may cause property damage and down power lines. The College Press

At least 15 wind-related incidents were reported across the city, a wall collapse, a motorist killed in a Mountainside when a tree fell on the car, and falling trees, tree branches and much more.

Having a Sukkah on your open balcony is always a bit precarious and subject to the weather. This is the first year that the balmy high winds actually did havoc. The boards on top of the schach, to hold it down, came crashing down into the Succah, together with the schach.

Thank the A-mighty that my husband was not sitting and learning at that moment, because if so, he surely would have to bentsch gomel (a blessing of gratitude made when narrowly escaping a dangerous life-threatening experience). I heard the boards crash on the cement patio and quickly ran to assess the situation.

B"H my husband was not there .... We quickly anchored the canvas walls to allow the wind to circulate (and not treat the succah like a sail boat and take it out to sea).

Our Sukkah is not quite as dangling as this one:

‘War Sore’ Ghetto Gaza Bombed And Burned By Nazisrael

Destruction of Warsaw Ghetto during the 1943 Uprising

When the Jews made the ‘benevolent’ gesture of conceding the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians in 2005, I wrote at the time that I thought they only intended to set it up as another concentration camp in ‘Eretz Yisrael’ for the 1.5 million men, women, and children left behind to suffer and die in it, and today I’m only more convinced that the leading Jews had that in mind all along.

life in Gaza is a constant gauntlet of Israeli sniper fire, military rockets and army bulldozers. No one is safe. In light of the escalating tensions, we're bringing back one our most moving documentaries, a hard-hitting expose of life in the Occupied territories. We speak to the children caught in the crossfire and find out the true cost of Israel's targeted assassinations policy.

Jews herded into Warsaw ghetto - 450,000 inmates walled in Gaza style

Starving children in Warsaw ghetto

‘Ghetto Gaza’ is also no doubt a vindictive response to what Jews suffered in the ghettos in Europe under the Nazis, and a revival of the gulags under the Soviet or Round Table “Council” of the JewSSR; and the psychopathic institution of it has it’s roots in the Old Testament, which forms the mindset of the Jew and says Jehovah commanded the Israelites to wipe out the Canaanites and possess their land.

Jews smuggle food into Warsaw ghetto

In fact Gaza, in Old Testament times, was one of the five royal cities of the Philistines, and the ‘house of commons’ in the place was pulled down around the ears of the lords of the Philistines by the Jewish hero Samson, which might have provided some of the inspiration for the Jews’ bombing of the Hamas headquarters in the Gaza Strip, and puts a new twist on the Jews’ Samson Option, which is their plot to take down the world with them by using their nuclear and toxin weapons in a totally irresponsible way if there’s ever another Holocaust again.
