R0141-8 When Else Or How Else?

Change language

::R0141 : page 8::

A sister writes that she did not like the application of the parable of the “wedding garment” in our last issue. To this sister and to any others who may feel so we wish to say, that the fulfillment of the parable referred to, seemed so marked and complete in every particular that we felt it to be our duty to call attention to it. Of all the parables which Jesus uttered is it not true, “I have told you before it come to pass that when it is come to pass ye might believe.” We have looked for years for a fulfillment of this parable the only one for which we had no satisfactory solution to offer. Now, we see it fulfilled in every particular–the laying aside of the robe of Christ’s righteousness, and the foretold going into outer darkness denying the presence and all of the prophetic light which proves it.

Notice too the time–just when the virgins are “going in to the wedding.” Some already have been for some time in the guest chamber believing that the Bridegroom is present and are preparing their robes and waiting for the union. Tell us when else, or how else could it be fulfilled, if you can think of any other way and time?

The WATCH TOWER desires to be a faithful servant of God and of “the household of faith.” “Who then is a faithful and wise servant whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household to give them meat in due season. Blessed is that servant whom his Lord when he [Elthon]–has come–shall find so doing.” `Matt. 24:46`.

(An exegesis of this scripture given in tract called “The object and manner of our Lord’s return,” pages 52 and 53–which see.) If our words were severe they were lovingly so, for we sought by calling attention to the outer-darkness of the parable to keep some from going blindly into it.

Does not the thought of the fulfillment of this last to be fulfilled parable seem to bring us down very close to the time when the last wise virgin may come into the light, the door to the “high-calling” to be shut, the union, or marriage of bridegroom and bride be accomplished by our being changed from natural to spiritual bodies like unto Christ’s glorious body, that being like Him we may see Him as He is? Oh glorious hope! The “chaste Virgin church” –“little flock” is said to “make herself ready.” Are you seeing to it that the robe of Christ’s righteousness is clean and white “unspotted from the world.” “Without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing?” and are you doing all you can to help others to the same condition of readiness? This is the will of God concerning you.

R0170-5 “False Christs”

::R0170 : page 5::

"Then if any man shall say unto you; lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold I have told you before. Wherefore, if they shall say unto you; behold He is in the desert; go not forth: behold He is in the secret chambers; believe it not." `Matt. 24:23-26`

We have reason for believing that after 1881, there will be wonderful spiritual manifestations. The prince of the power of the air…[Devil and his angels, `Eph. 2:2`.]–The rulers of the darkness of this world [wicked spirits–`6:12` margin] will now make a last great effort previous to their binding, at which time these powers will be subdued. [`Rev. 20:2`.] Those angels which kept not their first estate God hath reserved in everlasting [age-lasting] chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. `Jude 6`. They were cast down to hell. ("Tartarus" lower atmosphere–our air.) `2 Pet. 2:4`. For 6000 years these spiritual powers have been deceiving and misleading

::R0170 : page 6::

mankind. These like the good angels, have also had power to appear as men, but they must always appear in the dark, for God had placed them under darkness. This fact recognized would explain many of the spiritualistic manifestations of today, which otherwise cannot be accounted for. Of late years many have been deceived into believing that they saw some of their dead friends.

Which will you believe, God or the Devil? Notice: "Ye shall not

::R0171 : page 6::

surely die." `Gen. 3:4`. Now in his various manifestations and in personating dead people and appearing to their friends, is not the Devil carrying out and trying to corroborate the lie he started in Eden? Surely he is. Jesus well said of him: He is a liar and the father of it. `John 8:44`. If the Devil has succeeded in keeping up this lie for so long a time, and today has nearly all the world believing what he said; if he has done so much, and by manifestations in darkness has caused many to fall, what will be the result when he thus carries on in the light? For remember, that he was only to be confined in darkness unto the judgment of the great day, and as we have now entered upon that time or day, we expect much of his work to be carried on in the light. And spiritualists now claim that they can materialize in broad daylight. We would advise that all believe what God said, viz.: "Ye shall die, hence, ye can not see dead friends until raised from the dead." And the Devil does not do that work.

Paul says: "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." `2 Cor. 11:14`. If so, and if he has the power to appear as an angel of light is he not liable to deceive? How significant then is our text, viz.: "There shall arise false Christs and shall show signs and wonders…and if any shall say to you…he (Jesus) is in the desert or secret chambers…believe it not." Notice that this takes place during the presence of Jesus. `Ver. 27`, E.D. It would seem then from our text that there will false Christs arise and show themselves as Jesus did after his resurrection, and many will be saying, lo, here or there. If Satan is transformed into an angel of light and is to appear thus, and if we look for Jesus to appear to us or come to us in the flesh, would it not be an easy matter for us to be deceived? We think so. We think that this warning of our Saviour is absolute proof that neither he nor any of the resurrected saints will so appear; hence, of any manifestations there may be, we will conclude that it is neither Jesus nor resurrected saints. Let no man deceive you; remember Jesus has foretold you, that it will not be so. The Devil will certainly try to take advantage of those who are so looking for Jesus, for he could not deceive those who believe in his presence as the lightning–invisible, who do not believe that He will appear in the flesh. The danger lies in our being led away from the truth so as to look for Jesus in that way, for we feel sure that those who still retain the truth, will, at the time the appearances take place, be in a safe condition. Our text says: "that if possible they shall deceive the very elect. Notice, it is not possible. We understand that the elect are at the time referred to in the spiritual body condition, though under the vail.

For this there is proof. We find Paul speaking in this way (`1 Tim. 4:1`): "Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines [teachings] of devils. Also (`2 Tim. 3:1-9`), "This know also, that in the last days, perilous times shall come….Men shall be lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness …[must be professed Christians] ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these resist the truth." Here is the key. If we will now go back and look at the time referred to, we will get some light. (See `Ex. 7:10-12`). Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and his servants and it [the rod] became a serpent….Now the magicians of Egypt,…they did in like manner with their enchantments, …and their rods became serpents,…but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. When Aaron smote the waters of the river with his rod, they became blood [`verse 20`], but also did the magicians of Egypt [`verse 22`]. Also, when Aaron stretched forth his rod, frogs came upon the land of Egypt, and likewise did the magicians. `Ex. 8:5-7`. Now you will notice that all this opposition took place after Moses and Aaron met in the Mount (`Ex. 4:27`), and yet it was while Aaron was spokesman unto the people and acted as prophet of Moses to Pharaoh. `Verse 16`.

As the meeting of Moses and Aaron represents the change of the saints, then we know that the resistance spoken of by Paul (`2 Tim. 3:8`) is due after our change, and while we are yet here under the vail. These did deceive Pharaoh, but not Aaron, for Aaron had greater power than they. So, now, these false Christs (magicians of Egypt–the world) will deceive many, but they cannot possibly deceive us, for we (as represented by Aaron) will have been previously changed. The next plague following that of the frogs, was Aaron's bringing up lice on the land of Egypt. `Ex. 8:16`. But when the magicians tried, they could not do this,…and they say to Pharaoh, this is the finger of God. `Verses 18-19`. Yes, there will be a time, and not far distant, when the world shall realize that there is a higher power, and though Satan and his angels will in the next few years do wonders, yet they shall proceed no further, for their folly shall be made manifest to all as was the folly of Jannes and Jambres. It will be noticed that it was only during two plagues that the magicians could stand before and do as Aaron did. They were not able to stand quite all the time that Aaron was spokesman unto the people. God says unto Moses and unto Aaron, take to you handfuls of ashes,…and they did so, and it became a boil upon the Egyptians and magicians. `Ex. 9:8-10`. This we understand to be where Aaron enters into the glory of Moses, and God says unto Aaron as unto Moses. This apparent change in the condition of Aaron is just the time that the seven plagues commenced, and there we believe the power of Satan will begin to be curtailed. We believe the same order will obtain here, viz.: while the saints are under the vail and acting as teachers unto the people, and during the three plagues, Satan will manifest great power, but when the church is glorified (`Rev. 15:8`,) which is just before the seven plagues, Satan cannot longer stand, and by the time all the plagues are poured out He will be completely bound and deceive the nations no more for a thousand years. `Rev. 20:2,3`. We find this event takes place when the saints are represented as seated on thrones. `Verse 4`. We found that the position on the throne and the glory were associated (`Matt. 25:31-40`), hence this takes place when the temple is glorified. `Rev. 15:8`. This harmonizes with the point where Aaron changes his position in the type.

But before this, we believe, the saints will have been changed, and though here under the vail, while there are great signs and wonders wrought by these false Christs, it will not be possible to deceive us. We, in this condition, will be in the secret place of the Most High and shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [`Ps. 91:1`]. This is the position before the throne. But while we are safe, as was Aaron, there will be those who are mentioned in the type as "my people." [`Ex. 8:23`], and who evidently represent the "great company" upon whom the first three plagues come, effecting their deliverance from Babylon. [`Rev. 18:4`.] As the people of Israel were separated from the people of Pharaoh by the three first plagues, while Aaron was prophet, and they believed his words and signs, so here God's people will come out of Babylon [a worldly church] by the proclamation–"Fear God and give glory to Him, the hour of His judgment is come," [`Rev. 14:6-9`], made manifest by the vailed saints. And because they heed and believe the truth, they will be protected during the seven last plagues. God says to them; come my people, enter thou into thy chambers and shut thy doors. Hide thyself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation be over-past, for behold the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. [`Is. 26:20-21`]. These [the great company] will doubtless be severely tried during the first three plagues. “Delivered over to Satan [opponents] for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." They evidently get free from Babylon because of the judgments which cause her fall, and therefore escape the seven last plagues and cease to partake of her sins and receive not further of her plagues, [`Rev. 18:4`], for "my people shall be willing in the day of my power." The above language seems due just prior to the pouring out of the seven plagues; and here commences the binding of Satan. So we read, [`Is. 27:1`], "In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan, the piercing serpent, even Leviathan, that crooked serpent, and he shall slay the dragon, [that old serpent, the Devil and Satan, `Rev. 12:9`], that is in the midst of the sea [people]."

We have reasons for believing that those who are represented by Aaron will soon be changed, and soon now, we say, "Come out of Babylon, my people." Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of his judgment is come. [`Rev. 14:7`.] We trust that all who have ears to hear will obey the call. Those who will still continue to worship the beast and his image and will still support a worldly church [Babylon], [now being spewed out of God's mouth, `Rev. 3:16`], upon these shall not only come the first three plagues but also the seven– hence separate yourselves, for if any man worship the beast and his image, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, into the cup of his indignation. [`Rev. 14:9-10`.] Let us who are already separated quietly wait for our change and gathering together unto Jesus. Be holy, for without holiness none shall see the Lord.

A. D. J.

Hosted by Patagonia, June 5 screening in Georgetown will be moderated by The Washington Post’s Juliet Eilperin

Winner – SXSW Audience Choice Award
Winner – Documentary Award for Environmental Advocacy, Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital
Winner – MountainFilm Audience Choice Award

“DamNation [is] a quick, smart documentary about the havoc one country can create in its native fish populations by building 75,000 dams over an 80- or 90-year span.” The Village Voice

Media Contact:  Julia Pacetti, JMP Verdant,, (917) 584– 7846

On June 5, Patagonia will host a special Washington, D.C., screening of DamNation, an award-winning documentary film odyssey that explores the sea change in our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers.

This special screening will be held at the AMC Loews Georgetown 14, at 3111 K Street NW, for invited guests. A limited number of tickets also will be available to the public. Immediately following the screening, Juliet Eilperin of The Washington Post will moderate a panel including the following participants:

  • Renowned chef David Chang of Momofuku
  • Nez Perce Tribal Leader Rebecca Miles of Oregon
  • DamNation Co-Director Travis Rummel
  • DamNation Producer and Fish Biologist Matt Stoecker
  • Newly Announced: Senior Campaigner Pulin Modi

The panel will explore the broad range of topics associated with dam removal – celebrating the great progress that has been made in breaching dams with low value but high environmental costs and discussing what must happen in Washington, D.C. in order for river restoration to move forward in places like the Snake River in Washington.

Specifically, David Chang will address the vital reasons why everyone should have a stake in restoring our rivers, especially those who care about the source of their food. Chang will discuss the impact of dams on the human and wildlife food chain, with wild salmon relying on healthy rivers, while dams cut off thousands of miles of salmon spawning habitat.

Following the screening and panel discussion, Patagonia will host an after-party at its Georgetown retail store, located at 1048 Washington Ave NW, featuring delicious dishes prepared using Patagonia Provisions wild sockeye salmon, harvested from abundant, sustainable fisheries. Patagonia launched the food line in 2012 to rethink the food supply chain and reexamine best practices in food sourcing. More information is available here.

The Washington event is the flagship in a series of DamNation screenings held at most U.S. Patagonia retail stores on June 5.  On June 6, the film will be available for the first time nationwide on Vimeo On Demand for digital viewing.

Surrounding the film’s appearances at festivals and other events around the country since March, Patagonia has asked people to get involved and ask President Obama to authorize studies on removing four problematic lower dams on the Snake River. Twenty-four thousand people have already signed Patagonia’s petition asking the administration to “crack down on deadbeat dams” – signatures that will be delivered to the White House at a later date.

Since its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival on March , DamNation has been hailed by The Los Angeles Times, The Village Voice, National Geographic and Time Magazine. Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard recently published an op-ed in The New York Times arguing for the removal of low value, high cost dams.

About the Film

DamNation is a film odyssey across America that explores the sea change in our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers.  Dam removal has moved beyond the fictional Monkey Wrench Gang to go mainstream.  Where obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right of return to primeval spawning grounds, after decades without access. DamNation’s majestic cinematography and unexpected discoveries move through rivers and landscapes altered by dams, but also through a metamorphosis in values, from conquest of the natural world to knowing ourselves as part of nature.

Patagonia Founder and Owner Yvon Chouinard states, “I’m proud to have been involved. Time and again, I’ve witnessed how removing an unnecessary dam is the responsible and, eventually, celebrated choice. Ben, Matt and Travis show us why, and they’ve made a beautiful film.”

The film will be available for pre-buy on the DamNation website through Vimeo On Demand in March, and will be released on Vimeo, along with iTunes and a number of other digital platforms in June, after the theatrical release.

DamNation is produced by Patagonia in association with a Stoecker Ecological & Felt Soul Media Production and is set for theatrical release in select cities beginning in April.

DamNation (87 min, U.S., 2014)  Directed by Ben Knight and Travis Rummel. Produced by Matt Stoecker and Travis Rummel.  Editor: Ben Knight. Director of Photography:  Ben Knight.  Director of Underwater Photography:  Matt Stoecker.  Associate Producer:  Beda Calhoun. Executive Producer: Yvon Chouinard.   Featuring: David James Duncan, David Montgomery, Elmer Crow, Rebecca Miles Jim Waddell, Floyd Dominy, Katie Lee, Lee Spencer and Mikal Jakubal.

On Falling in Love

Paris is for Lovers (photo: Enuma Okoro)

Paris is for lovers.

This is fitting,

because I am here for six weeks, to write yes,

but also aching to fall in love again

with my own heart.

I am here hoping to woo myself back to that childish curiosity for life.

I am here flirting with my delight in ordinary things

like walking,

and the scent of lavender

or the color of evening just before things get darker.

Things inevitably get darker.

I am here following the Seine somewhat aimlessly in the morning,

trusting the flow of open water,

of untamed spirit

will lead me to new clearings I can’t forsee.

I am here with permission to not feel guilty. I am so good at self-inflicted guilt.

I am here with an invitation to dwell,

to wake up with loose agendas, to relinquish control.

No matter how much that threatens my identity.

I am here with gratitude, knowing that all is gift and all is grace, and all I can do is give thanks

in the certain uncertainty of tomorrow.

I am here

aware that so few of us women can afford the time and the cost of getting away from our overflowing grasping lives.

But I am also here aware of how difficult it is to let ourselves receive any gifts of time and space,

to reacquaint ourselves with our own hearts, minds, desires, and thoughts,

aware that even letting go and living into freedom takes discipline.

Even lovers have to be disciplined.

I will practice the discipline of astonishment.

In the city of love

I will practice falling back in love,

with life, with me,

and if I’m lucky,  with God.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses Made an Odd Video Depicting Paradise, So a Bunch of Ex-JWs Responded To It

Last summer, the Jehovah’s Witnesses held regional conferences in which they showed a number of videos that have since been picked apart and analyzed.

But this last one is especially awful. It’s all about “Paradise” — and what the Witnesses believe will happen after they die. It’s a video full of people who stop aging, plant gardens, ride horses, read the Bible, and play violins.

And then they get reunited with their loved ones like it’s the end of Shawshank Redemption.

That’s what they seriously think the afterlife holds in store for them. And if you have no desire to do yardwork or play a musical instrument, well, you’re out of luck. That’s Paradise. Deal with it.

Now, a number of ex-JWs have created a response of sorts in which they celebrate life after leaving the religion.

That’s what happiness looks like. It’s not some fake, narrow, perfect vision of life after death. It’s having joy right now. That’s what the former JWs have. No indoctrination required.

Crystal Cathedral, Revisited

My inbox has been full since I reported on the sale of the Crystal Cathedral to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange.  Critics and supporters alike have contacted me following yesterday’s blog post.

One of my favorite comments was from a good-hearted reader who said, “Praise God! The Schullers’ legacy will be respected and built upon in the spirit of ecumenism and mutual love of Christ.”

If you liked the story—if your imagination was piqued by the thought of the illustrious Bishop Fulton J. Sheen preaching at the Crystal Cathedral—perhaps you’d enjoy the video produced on the occasion of the Cathedral’s 35th anniversary.  Regardless of your personal viewpoint, whether you love the Crystal Cathedral or you dislike Robert H. Schuller’s emphasis on positive thinking, you’ve got to admit that he welcomed an impressive list of celebrities to his church!

Babette’s Feast, Unconditional Love & Generosity

I watched the tail end of one of my favorite movies last night: Babetteâ€™s Feast. I absolutely love that whole feast sequence. I was powerfully moved by Babetteâ€™s selfless generosity to do what she loves doing: being a chef. She generously and sacrificially spent all 10,000 francs of her lottery winnings to give 12 people the feast of their lives.

I believe in divine timing. Just that day I was wrestling with being a pastor. Lately, it has been a real struggle serving the church. I went for a therapeutic ride on my motorcycle and just prayed as I glided through the dusk. I heard, in my heart, the words, â€œDo you love me? Then feed my sheep. Donâ€™t feed on my sheep!â€ I then realized that Iâ€™m still far from being a selfless servant who is willing to serve without reward and to love unconditionally without strings attached or expectations to fulfill. Iâ€™ve a long way to go. But I want to get there. Jesus loves the church and gave himself up for her. Paul didnâ€™t want to burden his churches, not as a power trip, but because he loved them.

So, like Babette, I aspire to feed and nurture and love people, not because I want or expect something in return, but because this is what a servant does. This is what a lover does. Iâ€™m thankful that my mindless, vegetative channel-surfing turned into an artistic, creative, divine lesson that service is an inspiring work of art, that giving generously is a beautiful, gracious act never to be regretted.

    And the best part: they had no idea what they were receiving.

  • Hey Brian! Indeed! It’s funny in parts because they really didn’t know… for the champagne: “Must be some kind of lemonade!” Sometimes they had an inkling that they were partaking in something very special… you could tell by the look of delight that came across their faces. But for the most part, they were benefiting without understanding. Aren’t we largely unaware of all the love we are receiving? But this doesn’t diminish the wealth of that love being poured out on us.

  • Anne Christensen

    David, I love going to a cafe here in Mo i Rana, Norway which is called Babette’s!!! If you loved that movie, which is Danish, you would love another one, Swedish, which is called: SÃ¥ som i himmelen, or in English it would probably be: As it is in Heaven. It was Oscar nominated as best foreign movie. I love what you said in your blog… or am I writing a blog?? And what God had to tell you. There is certainly a stirring, I can feel it, and i WANT God to do amazing things in our lives and church lives. I want to be one to feed too, not feed on. Thank you for having fed me so many times!! and so many others. But we need to grow. I am so glad God met you and spoke to you, nothing means more than that!

The Humanist Hour #64: Matthew Chapman and The Ledge

A new episode of the Humanist Hour is available for listening. Keep reading to find out about the guests on this month’s show.

In this month’s  podcast, Jes Constantine and Todd Stiefel interview writer, director, and producer, Matthew Chapman about the release of his film, The Ledge and also Science Debate 2012.

Matthew Chapman

Matthew Chapman was born in Cambridge, England. He came to America in the 80s and has lived here ever since, first in Los Angeles, then, for the last ten years, in New York. He writes screenplays and non-fiction books and has written for Harpers Magazine.

His latest book is “40 Days and 40 Nights – Darwin, Intelligent Design, God, OxyContin, and Other Oddities On Trial in Pennsylvania”. Published by Harper/Collins, it tells the story of a small town ripped apart when fundamentalism and science came in conflict.

He also wrote “Trials Of The Monkey – An Accidental Memoir”. Published by Picador, it is an account of the Scopes Trial told in the form of a road trip Chapman took to the town where the trial took place, along with a memoir of his childhood growing up as a descendant of Charles Darwin.

The Ledge

The Ledge is the first drama in Hollywood history to feature an openly atheist hero in a story about religious conflict. Nominated for Best US Drama at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, the new thriller is available now On Demand.

The Ledge is the first film in Hollywood history that puts an atheist into the hero role in a production that features A-list stars. It is written and directed by Matthew Chapman, the great-great-grandson of Charles Darwin, the scientist who discovered evolution, the biggest challenge to religion since Gallileo. The film was nominated for Best US Drama at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and stars Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), Liv Tyler (Lord of the Rings, Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe nominee), Patrick Wilson (Watchmen), and Oscar nominee Terrence Howard (Crash, Iron Man).

On the rooftop of a city skyscraper, Detective Hollis (Terrence Howard) pleads with Gavin (Charlie Hunnam) not to jump. What he does not know is that Gavin, an atheist, is involved in a deadly feud with Joe (Patrick Wilson), a Christian extremist. Joe’s wife, Shana, (Liv Tyler) is caught in the middle as Joe seeks to test Gavin’s faith or lack of it. Cutting between the present and the past, tension escalates as verbal shots give way to deadly threats in a race against time that neither God nor the police can stop. Along the way, the film provocatively explores the intellectual and emotional conflicts between religion and atheism.

Watch The Ledge anytime through Video on Demand (your cable service), through the iTunes Store (go to the link and click View in iTunes) or on the Internet at Sundance Now.

Science Debate 2012

Science Debate does this by hosting nonpartisan science policy debates between candidates for office, educational events featuring science and technology topics for policymakers and the public, media education efforts to improve science and technology policy coverage, and other civic and community engagement activities.

Our efforts lie at the intersection of science, policymakers and candidates for office, the media, and the public.

Paul Brooks has worked as an osteopath in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire since 2007.

Osteopathy is similar to chiropractic, physiotherapy and the ancient art of bonesetting. It is an amazing, gentle and effective, manual healing technique that can help with a wide range of problems. Many people feel that it not only fixes their aches and pains and injuries, but also helps them achieve greater well-being.

Your doctor may support the use of osteopathy, but the principles and philosophy of osteopathy are quite different to the conventional medical model. It aims to be more natural and holistic; helping patients to feel better and achieve better health, ideally without reliance on medicines.

The clinic is in a lovely space above Philip Sheridan’s hairdressing salon in the Weir, Hessle. If patients have difficulty ascending the stairs, it may be possible to arrange a home visit or to use an alternative location; the Healing Hut in Cottingham and Broomsticks in Newland Avenue, Hull are also available.

Osteopaths are regulated by statute in the same way as mainstream medical professionals.

 Pure Indulgence

Pure Indulgence

The Kingdom of Belgium is more than 1000 years old and is often called the 'Essence of Europe'. Belgium shares its borders with France, Germany, Luxembourg and The Netherlands. Belgium has three official languages with English as the 4th unofficial language.

The people are warm and friendly, living life to the fullest and this is a country for connoisseurs who do not take themselves too seriously because the Belgians certainly do not. Famous for lace, diamonds, chocolate, and great festivals. The town of Spa was the place where all the other spas get their name.

The northern part is known as Flanders, the inhabitants are called Flemings and they speak Flemish and Dutch. A land that is criss-crossed by canals and has beautiful, medieval art cities like Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent.

Antwerp, daughter of the River Scheldt and second largest city in Belgium, is called the Metropolis by the inhabitants. Antwerp is the diamond center of the World and if diamonds really are a girl's best friend then no lady should miss visiting the diamond district around the Railway Station.

This area is also the Jewish part of the city and here you will find a flair that cannot be found in other Belgian cities. The past is represented by the numerous paintings of Peter Paul Rubens who lived in Antwerp in the early 17th century, and today the city is known for its fashion thanks to the numerous young Flemish fashion designers.

Ghent has managed to preserve its medieval charm while keeping up with the times and is also the flower city of Belgium. Flower growers from every region around Ghent sell their beautiful begonias and azaleas all over the world and every five years Gentse Floralien, (Ghent Flower Show) attracts thousands to the city. The city is the fourth largest in Belgium and has an important harbour with the Ghent-Terneuzen allowing sea-going vessels to bring Ghent and the industrial hinterland their products.

Bruges, a splendid medieval city, is the capital of the province of West-Flanders and is called the Venice of the North. The city is one of Belgium's crown jewels and is unique in the sense that the town authorities have done the utmost to preserve the medieval-looking images of the city. Bruges is always beautiful, in the summertime as well as in wintertime, and visitors will never forget the enchanting experience of strolling through the tiny medieval streets with their blanket of snow in December, or in the springtime when a trip on the canal is delightful. Bruges is famous for its lace making, a trade that rose in the Renaissance, and Emperor Charles V ordered that lace-making should be a compulsory skill for girls in convents throughout Flanders, and hundreds of craftsmen still continue the handiwork today.

Brussels is a cosmopolitan city where many different cultures live together and different languages can be heard in the streets. It is the bi-lingual capital of Belgium which means that both French and Dutch are the official languages of the city. Street names and traffic signs are always in these two languages. Brussels is home to the EU and NATO and was the birthplace of the actress Audrey Hepburn. The liveliness and international flair is of course intimately related to its role as a crossroads for all of Europe.

Brussels was the former capital of the medieval Duchy of Brabant and you will see Gothic cathedrals and churches next to, and sometimes in stark contrast with, gracious classical facades like the buildings around the Royal Square (Palace Royale-Koningsplein). The heart of Brussels and the place to start getting to know the city is the Grand Place (Grote Markt). This historic market square with its splendid guild houses and the impressive Gothic beauty of the Town Hall, is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful town squares in Europe.

To the south is Wallonia, also known as Ardennes, a region of peaceful villages, and the landscape once describe by Ernest Hemingway as "something out of a Grimms fairy-tale". The locals are called Walloons and their official language is French except for a small area where they speak German.

This is a beautiful region full of abbeys, parks and gardens, chateaux, battlefields, woodland, moors, waterfalls, rolling hills and countless castles, there are more per square mile in Belgium than anywhere else in the world. The cities have cobblestone streets, Gothic cathedrals, artistic treasure, and regional specialities such as ham and Trappist beer brewed locally in the Abbey of Westvleteren which has consistently been rated the world's best beer.

Known as the smallest town on earth Durbuy is also one of the prettiest. The old town dates mainly from the 17th century. A must for every visitor is to walk through the Old Town where you will find shops, cafes and restaurants in its narrow flowered and cobbled streets, winding between ancient houses. The smallest town on earth ironically boasts the largest topiary park anywhere! High above Durbury at the top of the cliff face is The Belevedere.

There is a magnificent view over the town and of the valley of the River Ourthe. The Confiturerie Saint-Amout is a jam factory where you can still see the jam being made by hand-stirred in large copper basins. Purchase some of this excellent product in the factory shop which also sells food from the surrounding area.

Belgium produces over 500 varieties of beer and the biggest brewer in the world, Anheuser-Busch InBev is based in Leuven. Belgium is famous for waffles and French fries, contrary to their name they originated in Belgium. The name French fries actually refers to the manner in which the potato is cut, to French means to cut into slivers. The national dishes are steak and French fries with salad and mussels with fries. Belgium produces some of the finest chocolates in the world with brands such as Godiva, Cote d'Or and Guylian world renowned.

Belgium has a very long and rich history but only received its independence from the Netherlands in 1830. The current King is Albert II, the sixth in the Belgian dynasty and he is married to Princess Paola Ruffo di Calabria.

Belgium is the capital of culture and food, a dynamic city with intriguing history. You can sip the legendary Belgian beer on an outdoor terrace along historic Grand Place, taste the magnificent Belgian chocolate, wonder at the exquisitely made beautiful lace products and wonder the streets of this enchanting country. Where-ever you decide to settle in Belgium you will be amazed at the beauty of this gorgeous country in the heart of Europe.

Purchasing a Property

Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you must appoint an attorney to act for you during the whole transaction. Your attorney will carry out the necessary searches to ensure that the title is unencumbered and the seller is the legal owner. He will then draw up a purchase/sales agreement and a 10% deposit is payable.

The contract will state both parties full details, the details of the property you are purchasing, the agreed price, a completion date and any conditions. You will then need to take out insurance on the property as you are liable for any damage once the agreement has been signed.

The final title deed is signed by both parties in front of a Notary around 4 months after signing the initial agreement, and then you can take possession of the property.

Fees & Taxes

Legal fees 1%.

Registration tax 12.4% of the purchase price or 6% in the case of small properties, and in Flanders the lower rates of 10% and 5% are payable and in Brussels the first 45,000 of the purchase is exempt from registration tax.

Notary fees are fixed by the state and are based on the value of the property usually around 1.6% of the selling price.

Capital gains tax is payable on properties that are sold within the first five years if they do not meet the certain tax-exemption criteria.

Agents fees 3%.

Citizens of USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand only require a valid passport for stays of up to 90 days in Belgium.

All other nationalities must check with the Embassy/Consulate in their home country as to the up to date visa and entry requirements for Belgium prior to travel.

Quebec sees largest increase in beneficiaries
||Last Updated: 10/18/2012

A total of 534,400 Canadians received regular employment insurance benefits in July, up 16,400 from the previous month, according to Statistics Canada.

After a long-term downward trend in Quebec, the number of people receiving regular EI benefits increased to 157,030 in July, up 10,240 (seven per cent) from the previous month. In Ontario, the number of beneficiaries continued to rise for the second month in a row by 2,980 (1.9 per cent) to 158,890.

There were also notable increases in the number of beneficiaries in Alberta, which saw an increase of 3.5 per cent to 26,620. British Columbia also saw the number of beneficiaries increase by 3.4 per cent to 57,690, New Brunswick saw an increase of 3.4 per cent to 34,280 and Saskatchewan saw a 3.3 per cent increase to 9,890.

There were no notable changes in the other provinces.

To receive EI benefits, individuals must first submit a claim. The number of claims provides an indication of the number of people who could become beneficiaries.

Nationally, the number of initial and renewal claims was down slightly by 1.3 per cent at 232,400 in August, following little change in July.

Provincially, claims fell by 11.3 per cent in Ontario, 8.7 per cent in Alberta, 6.3 per cent in Prince Edward Island, 5.6 per cent in both British Columbia and Nova Scotia, and four per cent in Manitoba. Claims increased 5.2 per cent in Quebec.

Make The Cedi Stable, Ghanaians Are Crying – Alhaji Haruna Tells NPP

A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team, Alhaji Haruna Halidu has called on President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo and his government to use their economic skills to stabilize the cedi as it is making life uneasy.

“Where is the Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, who claims to know much about the economy than we did when we were in government? This is the time for him to act since the baton has been handed over to him as he yearned for some months ago. Unless he wants to tell us those comments he made were political talks to bring his party into party,” he said.

Touching on comments made by the Minister of Information, Mustapha Hamid to justify the 110 ministerial appointees made by the President to serve in his government on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’, Alhaji Halidu lamented, “I know Mustapha Hamid down within his heart will feel bad on some issues he would have to address in the public domain as the Information Minister. Yet instead of him to stand tall to speak the truth, he decides to defend his party.”

According to him, President Akufo-Addo has set a record as far as the history of this country is concerned after appointing 110 ministers since independence.

His political opponent on the programme, the first Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party [NPP] in the Central Region, Mr. Joe Donkor said that “he [President Akufo-Addo] has not only set record on the number of Ministers of states elected in his government, but will also set a lot more of records in the developmental and infrastructural progress of this nation in all sectors.”

Plans and Pricing. ManageWP Orion Bundles. The idea behind the Orion pricing model was simple: scale your subscription with your business and pay only what you actually use.

ManageWP Orion Bundles

It’s what an honest pricing model should be, and your feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The only problem with the per site pricing model is that the price goes up really fast. Agencies with 50 websites would basically pay 5 times more than agencies with 10 websites, so there’s no real cost scaling. So we got back to the drawing board and came up with a way to improve the Orion pricing model. This article is about the bundles and a few other changes we made in the meantime. ManageWP Bundles In addition to the per site pricing model, we added the bundle alternative. Bundles are a perfect way to keep your cost down as your business grows. Basically if you need a premium feature on more than 25 websites, get a bundle for that feature and save money vs. having 25+ websites with that feature individually.

Journaling has been, and continues to be, a tremendously useful tool for my own growth and development and, as always, I'm eager to share my thoughts and journal prompts with you.

Received my Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal for "Magical Matthew"

I just returned from the Readers' Favorite Awards Ceremony and the Miami International Book Fair!  There I received my Bronze Medal for Magical Matthew and was also acknowledged for Magical Mea being a finalist, too!  It was very exciting to be there and meet other award winning writers who were also being honored.

We had the opportunity to hear some great talks on marketing:
1) Find the audience for your book and pursue it relentlessly.  Sell yourself, sell your stories.
2) Make your presentations fun and memorable.  Tell them something new.  Share.  Joke.  Sell.
3) Dress up in costume, if appropriate.  Have a memorable image, gimmick, showcase.
4) Volunteer as a speaker to community organizations (libraries, service clubs, churches, schools, book clubs, parent groups, etc ).
5) Become well-known.  You = your product; brand yourself.  (T-shirts, stuffed animals, dolls, hats?)

How to pursue adapting your book for a movie or TV show:
1) When writing your book try to make it "cinematic," with 3 Act structure and castable characters.
2) Find out who wants/needs movies/TV shows with your theme/subject; communicate marketabilty.
3) Know your target audience and how to connect with them; have significant readership.
4) Write a great two page synopsis of your vision; be persistent, but not a pest; be passionate.
5) Set realistic goals.  One no just means it's not right for that producer/film company; be gracious.

And the future of the independent author and publisher.
1) Market to the right publisher for your genre and audience.
2) Investigate self-publishing as a viable alternative with growing interest, audience, and respect.
3) Be smart with marketing and PR; find your audience and market to them.
4) Know the business side of writing (budget, design, pricing, marketing/PR, outsourcing, website).

All were short presentations, but interesting, supportive, and inspiring.  It made me want to go back next year.  But then I'll have to enter another book by May 1st, 2014!

Here I am at the Miami International Book Fair where our award winning books were displayed.

 Here I am with Debra Gaynor, Founder of the Readers' Favorite Awards Program.
We'll get the official photo of the medal being awarded on December first and I'll post that, too.  And now it's back to work on the next book!

Count 1, 2, 3 with Me, by Connie Arnold and illustrated by Ginger Nielson

Count 1, 2, 3 with Me, by Connie Arnold and illustrated by Ginger Nielson, is a lovely rhyming, counting book.  Parents will enjoy sharing it with their preschoolers.  And teachers can read it aloud with their early kindergarten students learning to count to ten.

The book takes you all over with happy, smiling children, playing games, walking, and viewing the world through wonder-filled eyes.  They see normal daily home life scenes.  They see pets in the park and wild animals in their zoo habitats.  They see insects, games, and fun activities -- everything that children can relate to in their world and at their level.

This sweet book is complemented by Ginger Nielson’s beautiful artwork which illustrates the scenes that go with the counting to ten lessons.  Her illustrations are full of life and energy.  They cry out to kids to be active and experience everything that a child’s life can be.

This is a book that kids will enjoy and easily relate to.  We see them playing ball, walking and Yo-yo-ing, learning to tie their shoes, watching nature, going to the park, playing with puppies, visiting the zoo, shopping and cuddling with Mom, wrestling with Dad, and even learning the days of the week.  It’s a joyful comment on the different kinds of fun children can have everywhere they are  -- as long as they are open to the possibilities.

A Bad Mad Sad Day for Mama Bear by Mayra Calvani Illustrated by K.C. Snider

A Bad Mad Sad Day for Mama Bear, by Mayra Calvani and illustrated by K.C. Snider, is a sweet book about a problem day for mother and child. Mama Bear has one bad thing after another happen in her busy day. We can all relate to that. We’ve had days when we drop things, when the car won’t start, when we spill things, when things tip over, and we miss something important. Then we pick ourselves up and carry on in spite of these mishaps. Mama Bear does the same. However, in her coping and dealing with one bad thing after another, she forgets one very important little person – Baby Bear. He’s right there trying to offer support and comfort in unseen ways. Will Mama Bear slow down long enough to notice how he’s trying to help?
The story is fanciful and full of fun language.  There’s repetition, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and even slapstick.  Here are some examples:

Everything was going from bad to worse for Mama Bear today. At breakfast she burned the sizzling sardines, and a spatter of grease stung her paw ... OUCH!

Then while scrubbing the dishes, she dropped a cup and ... CRASH! It smashed to smithereens on the floor. “Oh no, my favorite tea cup!”

Some situations are downright silly, but will make reading aloud that much more enjoyable for reader and listener.
A very special part of this story is K.C. Snider's artwork. She has done an amazing job of telling this story in pictures. The action is vivid, the colors and characters vibrant and alive. The humor of the story, married with the artwork, leaps off the page. After seeing the illustrations, you can’t imagine the story any other way. With so much to read and see on every page, it is truly captivating - a delight for eye and ear.

A Bad Mad Sad Day for Mama Bear is about how an ordinary day can have small and large catastrophes and challenges.  We’ve all had very bad and even horrible days, but somehow we get through them.  In the midst of these little and big daily problems, we pick up the pieces and still find things to appreciate and be thankful for -- like the loving gestures of our sweet children, and the support of our partners and friends.

"Captain Courage and the World’s Most Shocking Secret" by Stacey A. Marshall, illustrated by Michelle Morse

Captain Courage and the World’s Most Shocking Secret is the second Captain Courage book by Stacey A. Marshall, illustrated by Michelle Morse. We again see Mr. Magico, Blythe Elementary School’s Principal, in his superhero costume with his “sparkly goggles” and his “rainbow fear-squishing shoes.” We follow him around the school meeting and encouraging students.
In this story, Mr. Magico shares with his wife, a teacher, and some students, his own personal fear. His fear is so great, it's been giving him crazy nightmares. Katie, a new student whom he helped overcome her own fears last year, is sworn to secrecy when he asks for her help. She agrees, though shocked by his revealing his deepest fear. Mr. Magico also enlists the help of a teacher, Mrs. Berrycastle, and swears her to secrecy, along with two other students. How many can keep this secret?

At the whole school talent show all will be revealed, but not as Mr. Magico might have wished. Mr. Magico and Katie are congratulating themselves backstage when there's a little hiccough with Katie's microphone still being on. Uh oh. Now the big secret is out! Sometimes some secrets just can't be kept. Katie's comments show how all the students feel about their courageous, superhero principal. (Right, still trying to keep the secret from you, too.)
Michelle Morse’s colorful and energetic illustrations put us squarely in the action. She did that so well – you will love the artwork. Kids will also love the cute turtle that hangs out in this story.

Stacey Marshall's second Captain Courage story is full of fun with many helpful pointers on overcoming such common fears as performance anxiety, stage "jitters, and shyness. It will be a good book for read-alouds and discussions. It also reminds us that our friends can help us if we would just reach out and ask them -- we don't have to go it alone.

Achieving Total Light Control with Your Peoria Window Decor

– Posted in: Window Pros

If you’re like me, you love to throw the curtains wide and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air of a pleasant day. In the evening, you want Peoria window decor that allows you to limit your home’s visibility from the outside. For other people, though, their needs are even more specific. Some people work odd shifts, or have young children who nap, and need to be able to completely block out all light at will. Finding high-quality light blocking Peoria window decor that is functional and fashionable can be a challenge.

So how can you achieve total light control with your Peoria window decor without heavy drapes that overpower your space? The answer is layering. If you like the idea of blinds (they can be used alone, but they don’t need to be), then look for high-quality light blocking blinds for use in your Peoria window decor. Most people think of apartment standard style white blinds when they think of blinds, but there are so many more options – many of them both stylish and light blocking as Peoria window decor. Vertical blinds, plantation style blinds, honeycomb blinds. All of these are great Peoria window decor options that can be really effective at light blocking.

Once you’ve found blinds that can be a part of your Peoria window decor scheme, you can focus on curtains for use over them. You can avoid a look that’s too heavy or dark by looking for lighter curtains with light-blocking materials on the outward facing side. This can match a lighter home and Peoria window decor scheme while not weighing down the overall look of the room, and still provide the light blocking level that you need. The great thing about this combo is you can always raise the blinds so that they are out of sight and not obstructing your window view. The curtains can also be pulled back with stylish tie backs to look great as Peoria window decor while letting natural light in.

Once you’ve found the combination of blinds and curtains that best suit your Peoria window decor scheme, you can dress them up with accents, like the decorative tie backs previously mentioned. Accent sheers can be draped over the rod or used in other creative ways to spice up your window decor theme that ties in to the decor in the rest of your home.

When complete light blocking is needed, this set up makes it easy to achieve the desired level of darkness at a moment’s notice. This is a challenge that many people face, and aren’t quite sure how to solve, but the right Peoria window decor can make it easier. Simply close your light blocking blinds and, if you need more, pull the light blocking curtains, as well. This allows for a dark, quiet and restful space at any time of the day or night – a great, long-term solution for third shift workers and families with young children.

Australia Challenges Mugabe to Stop Harassing Protesters

Zimbabwe police Harassing Protesters

The Australian embassy in Harare has challenged President Robert Mugabe to ensure law enforcement agencies respect the country's Constitution which guarantees freedom of expression.

The embassy said the Canberra government was worried about the use of force by the police against Zimbabweans demonstrating "peacefully" against the government.

Zimbabweans have lately staged a series of protests against President Mugabe's government and demanding the veteran leader's exit from power for allegedly ruing the once-promising country.

Despite being authorised by the courts, most of the protests have been brutally crushed by the police using tear gas batons and water cannons.

In a statement following last Friday's violence in Harare, Australia ambassador to Zimbabwe Suzzane MacCourt said she had been monitoring the protests great concern.

She said Harare should respect "people's democratic right to stage peaceful demonstrations which are guaranteed by the constitution".

"The Australian Embassy shares the concerns of many Zimbabweans at the violence which has occurred over recent weeks in Zimbabwe. The use of violence is not acceptable under any circumstance," said the envoy.

"The Australian Embassy wishes to emphasise that the rule of law, respect for human rights, right to free speech, and freedom of assembly and other democratic freedoms are at the heart of the Zimbabwean Constitution and must be respected by all parties.

"We encourage the Government of Zimbabwe to ensure the democratic freedoms of all Zimbabweans are fully protected."

Formulation and Characterisation of Pulsatile Drug Delivery System of Bisoprolol Fumarate Prepared by Press Coated Method

Nagamani*, J. Sreedevi, Y. Ankama Chowdary
NRI College of Pharmacy, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, India

Pulsatile dosage form taken at bed time with a programmed start of drug release in the early morning hours, can prevent a sharp increase in the incidence of heart attacks during the early morning hours. In the present study, an attempt was made to design and characterize pulsatile drug delivery system in order to release the drug after 7-8hr in the intestine, and intentionally delaying the drug absorption from therapeutic point of view in the treatment of heart attacks, where peak symptoms are observed in the early morning. Thus this study attempts to design and evaluate a chronomodulated drug delivery system of  Bisoprolol Fumarate selectively blocks catecholamine stimulation of β1-adrenergic receptors in the heart and vascular smooth muscle. Eight formulations (F1–F8) of core tablets were prepared by direct compression technique and evaluated for various physico chemical parameters. In vitro drug release study of  Bisoprolol Fumarate core tablets revealed F6 as best formulation and press coated and enteric coated using different polymers like Ethyl cellulose and Eudragit L100 (C1 – C5) to find out the changes in the release rate of the Bisoprolol Fumarate  from enteric coated tablets. This enteric coat has enabled us to achieve definite non release lag phase for 8 hours.

Keywords: Bisoprolol Fumarate, Pulsatile drug delivery, Ethyl cellulose, Eudragit L100.

Worrying Ugly app meter could taunt kids

We enjoy bringing you news about various popular apps and have previously brought you details of Ugly apps, most of which are entertaining, fun apps that can be used to distort faces. However it seems there is now real worry that an Ugly Meter app could disturb and taunt children and we’d like to know your views on this.

First we’ll give you some details of the app concerned so you can see what the debate is all about. The Ugly Meter iOS app by Dapper Gentlemen is available at this App Store link for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad running iOS 3.0 or later, at a price of Â£0.69 ($0.99). The app has been featured by celebs such as Howard Stern, Jay Leno and Mike O’Meara and the general idea is that the app scans a photo of you (or your friends) and gives a rating between 1 and 10 on the Ugly Scale. There are also sound effects and comments thrown in so beware if you come out as a 10.

Those who use the app can see which of their circle of friends is rated the ugliest and also share the results on Facebook and Twitter. A premium version of this iOS app for devices running iOS 3.2 or later is Ugly Meter PRO, which costs Â£2.99 ($4.99) and is available here. The PRO version explains your facial structure and gives a rating on how ugly or beautiful you are on a scale between 1 and 100.

There’s also an Android version of Ugly Meter available at this Google Play link. Ugly Meter for Android is for devices running Android 1.5 or later and is priced at Â£0.61. This app is the same as the first iOS app in that it gives an ugly rating between 1 and 10 on the Ugly Scale. On the face of it the Ugly Meter app sounds like a way to share some lighthearted fun between friends, as long as it’s not taken too seriously of course.

However there are concerns among parents that if the Ugly Meter app is used by children it could be upsetting and damage esteem. World News tells how current debate about the app has given rise to some people saying that children, who may take it too seriously or use it to insult other kids, need to be protected from this app. Developer Jo Overline has said that the app is meant to entertain and not insult and of course in the right hands we’re sure this can be fun. We can also see though how children could use the app to upset other kids and that it could affect a child’s confidence.

We’d like to hear your thoughts on this debate about the Ugly Meter app. Do you think that apps such as this have a place as a form of entertainment? Maybe you think it should be banned, or alternatively feel it’s up to parents to prevent their children using the app? Send your comments to us to let us know how you feel.

A graphene Zener–Klein transistor cooled by a hyperbolic substrate

Researchers in the optical and mesoscopic physics teams from the Pierre Aigrain Laboratory based in the ENS Physics department discovered a new cooling mechanism concerning electronic components made of graphene deposited on boron nitride. The efficiency of this mechanism allowed them to reach electric intensities at the intrinsic limit of the laws of conduction.

PNG - 54.4 ko

From supercalculators to smartphones, industries are confronted with a major challenge : how to evacuate more and more heat to prevent deterioration or even destruction of electronic components. Increasing the density of components on a chipset implies increasing dissipation and thus heat. Nowadays, with the graphene-based materials, this question becomes particularly important as they are only composed of few layers of atoms.

In this context, by producing a graphene-based transistor deposited on a boron nitride substrate, physicists from the Pierre Aigrain Laboratory (CNRS / ENS / UPMC / Paris Diderot University) have discovered a new cooling mechanism 10 times more efficient than basic heat diffusion. This new mechanism, which exploits the two-dimensional nature of the materials opens a "thermal bridge" between the graphene sheet and the substrate. Researchers have demonstrated the effectiveness of this mechanism by imposing in graphene levels of electrical current still unexplored, up to the intrinsic limit of the material and without any degradation of the device. This result, published in Nature Nanotechnology, is an important step towards the development of graphene-based high-frequency electronic transistors.

This article is taken from a news published by the National Institute of Physics of the CNRS.
