How to report explosives incidents

In an explosives emergency call 000 or the Explosives Emergency Hotline (1300 739 868). This includes any theft of explosives, any possibility of theft of explosives, if you suspect a theft of explosives, or if there is a break-in to an explosives storage facility, room or area.

Explosives incidents include misfires and events where an explosive is or seems to be lost, stolen or involved in accidental explosion, fire or spillage.

Under the Explosives Act, an 'authority holder' must notify the Chief Inspector of Explosives of any explosives incident resulting in loss of life, personal injury or property damage.

The authority holder may be the individual, company or partnership licensed to conduct an activity under their control and the safety management system or security plan when the incident occurs.

An explosives incident may involve:

  • a vehicle transporting ammonium nitrate that catches fire
  • explosives stolen or missing from a magazine
  • a misfire during an attempt to fire a shot.

It might also include:

  • flyrock when it comes to rest outside the exclusion zone
  • oxides of nitrogen, including:
    • when the visible cloud of NOx fume crosses the boundary of the exclusion zone
    • when a person within the exclusion zone is exposed to a visible cloud of NOx fume (e.g. in a safe haven or shelter)
    • after the exclusion zone has been cleared and people have re-entered the site and, due to the topography, holes or crevasses, contain dangerous concentration of NOx gases and personnel can enter those areas.

Incident reports

Incident reports give industry and regulators data that they can use to identify trends that may affect safety and security. Timely incident reporting enables the production of industry-wide alerts about safety and security issues, which help prevent similar incidents.

Prompt incident reporting is good practice and enables you to address safety and security deficiencies and share any learnings with industry and regulators.

It is important that incident reports are completed and sent promptly to the Explosives Inspectorate. See below for more information about reporting.

Requirements of safety management systems

All licence holders conducting explosives activities must have and use a safety management system (SMS). Part of this should be clear procedures for incident reporting.

An SMS should at least include a standard incident report form, incident reporting contact numbers, email addresses and a process to support the incident reporting system.

An SMS should also maintain a record of all incidents. This will include appropriate level investigations with recommendations and follow-up to ensure that recommendations are implemented.

An incident should trigger a review of process, the plant or equipment involved, and personnel training and interface.

Reporting explosives incidents

Initial advice

Immediately after the incident, call the explosives response number to advise what's happened.

The regulator must be aware of explosives incidents as soon as they happen so they can initiate an appropriate response, from confirming the incident issues to sending inspectors to the incident site.

Formal written advice

Shortly after, send an email (preferred), fax or letter to the Explosives Inspectorate. This should contain the telephone reporting details of the inspector you reported the incident to, and the date and time you reported it.

Reporting under multiple legislation

Mining and Petroleum and Gas (P&G) legislation may also cover the use of explosives at mine sites or on P&G tenures where it may be necessary to report to more than one inspectorate within the Safety and Health Division.

If you report an explosive incident to the Mines Inspectorate, P&G Inspectorate or Explosives Inspectorate, the incident report will be passed on by the receiving inspectorate to the other affected inspectorates.

So you may provide the single incident report to one inspectorate, who will ensure it's distributed within the Safety and Health Division.

However, if you also need to report the incident to the Queensland Police Service, Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, or another government department or agency, you'll need to provide separate advice to them.

The guidelines for reporting an incident are clear. However, if there is any doubt, you should submit an incident report to the Explosives Inspectorate.

Jeremy granthamCPSL via VimeoJeremy Grantham

This week’s Barron’s has a great interview with Jeremy Grantham, the veteran fund manager at the top of GMO.

Grantham, who has a penchant for sniffing out market bubbles, continues to warn stock market investors that they’re in for an era of low returns. GMO’s Ben Inker recently said we should expect average annual returns of -1.3% for the next seven years.

This is not to say that stock prices can’t still surge in the near-term.

“They’re 65% overpriced,” Grantham told Barron’s Lawrence Strauss. “If they go up another 30%, you would have a true bubble, at which point stocks would be close to twice their fair value. Similarly, in 2000, stocks were more than double their fair value. So they are quite capable of doing that.”

Here’s Grantham on bubbles:

There are two good standards for a bubble. One is boring statistics, and the other is an exciting behavioural frenzy, on which so many good books have been written. And based on the boring statistics, the data is really very clear: We are not even that close to a bubble. With the S&P 500 at around 1860 recently, we are at about a 1.4- to 1.5-sigma event. Another way to say that is that we are between one and two standard deviations outside the normal distribution of stock-valuation levels. A two-sigma event would put the S&P 500 at 2350. So using the standard definition, it has to go up another 30% from here to get to a bubble. But you don’t know when an ordinary market move is a bubble; you only know that in hindsight. As for the second test, which is euphoria, I like to joke that in 2000 here in Boston, Celtics replays were displaced at lunchtime at the greasy spoons by talking heads on TV. You would go to one, and they would be touting the latest Internet stock. But I’ve noticed recently that they are still playing the sports highlights on the televisions in the pubs here.

Grantham spends some time talking about investor sentiment, bonds, and food. Read the whole interview at

NDAA, CISPA, And (Misplaced) Bravery

Anyone can look good when they are winning.

Real courage is shown, however, when you are dealt an atrocious hand and you stay at the table regardless. You play it out.

We are losing, friends and beloved readers. America is racing headlong into a fascist state entirely of our own making. We can’t blame this one on our foreign enemies; this one is all us.

The TSA, an unconstitutional agency that criminally gropes women and shames honest taxpaying men into submission, has expanded rapidly on Mr. Obama’s watch (more than 65,000 employees to oversee just 450 U.S. airports, and they are expanding their grope-gloves to train stations, highways, and bus depots).

Guantanamo Bay, a torture facility that would be absurd if it were not, in fact, real — has released less men and women on Mr. Obama’s watch than during Mr. Bush’s.

Mr. Obama signed NDAA into law, giving him and all future presidents the right to imprison American citizens (and all other human beings on the planet) INDEFINITELY, without access to a trial or attorney. Revoking due process rights, on suspicion alone. As if 9/11 happened yesterday, and not more than a decade ago.

Major U.S. cable networks including CNN refuse to cover NDAA and its implications for the future of this nation.

And now the wide-ranging surveillance bill CISPA looks as if it will soon become law, authorizing the government — and even private security companies — to access your most intimate online activities without a warrant or proper court authorization… Facebook messages, Google searches, e-mails, and so forth.

How ludicrously arrogant I was back in December to think that I could warn everyone in time. Stop what’s happening now. Go against a multi-billion dollar defence lobby that literally hires “sock puppets” to promote false views on Twitter and Facebook, and to harass journalists who don’t fall in lock-step with their utterly sinister, un-American ambitions.

Good night readers, and goodbye. I wish things hadn’t turned out as they did.

But you are (partially) to blame, you know. You did nothing when you were warned. You didn’t even donate your time or money to change our fate. This nation’s founding fathers and veterans would be disgusted with our apathy. That is the hard truth.

Land of Opportunity: Brothers’ Port of Entry Was New York

Blacksmith later finds work as cooper and farmer around St. Louis, Missouri.

| Good Old Days

In 1844, my great-great-grandfather, Charles Barlett Pflum, came to the land of opportunity from Germany, arriving in America at the New York port of entry. The port of embarkation was Le Havre, France. Records are in the St. Louis Public Library. Ship records are there also. Charles was 18 when he chose to leave his trouble-torn birth country. He was listed as a mechanic and blacksmith on the ship's record, and he worked for his passage on the ship. He brought with him a brother named John.

In New York City, the two brothers became separated and were never reunited.

My great-great-grandfather found various jobs and worked his way to the city of St. Louis, Missouri. There he found work as a cooper, making barrels for the breweries in the beer-making city.

He eventually became so fond of America that he felt compelled to return to his homeland to bring more of his relatives to the freedom and good life he found in this good land. His father and sister returned with him to make their home in St. Louis. In the course of time his father died. The sister, the brother and his city-born wife decided they wanted to leave the city and return to the country life from which they had come in the old country. They were farm people at heart.

They settled in northeast Missouri on a rural farm. It was a small farm of 40 acres. The family was listed on the United States Census in 1861 in Shelby County Communal Colony, Bethel, Missouri. The village of Bethel was noted at that time for its distillery. Corn whiskey was a product, thus, there was a need for the cooper and the barrels he made. Great-Great-Grandfather's occupation was listed as cooper or barrel maker and farmer.

Bethel, Missouri, is a place of interest today. It was the most successful and long-lasting communal colony in Missouri, and one of the most successful in the nation. It is now registered with the Missouri and National Historical Societies as a national historic site. The annual Bethel, Shelby County, Missouri, Harvest Fest held in October attracts visitors from all over the United States.

Hyundai Philippines Shares Vision with South Korean President

Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI) President and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo exchanged pleasantries with South Korean President Moon Jae-In at the ASEAN Business & Investments Summit (ABIS) 2017. Ms. Agudo, a panelist at the ABIS forum, “Unleashing Women Economic Power and Human Capital Development (Investing in Education, Global Competencies, Women and Affirmative Action),” echoed President Moon’s keynote message on co-prosperity and unleashing the potential of all.

Hyundai’s presence as Official Mobility Partner of the ASEAN 50 and related summits signifies the Korean automotive giant’s solid support for the ASEAN Road Map of “Prosperity for All.”
South Korea is the Philippines’ fifth major trading partner.

Hyundai’s increased investments and philanthropic work in the Philippines country through HARI is a case study of Hyundai’s interest to grow its presence and influence in ASEAN.

The deployment of 50 Hyundai H350 luxury vans to transport Summit delegates showcased Hyundai Philippines’ bid to drive the success of local enterprises by introducing world-class commercial vehicles to the business community. By investing in the Hyundai Assembly Center (HAC), Hyundai recognizes the rewards of fast tracking consumer access to our vehicles while spurring the development of the local parts manufacturing sector into an indispensable player in the regional automotive chain.

Wayfarer Column- Poet had understanding of life few could match

Share this article

We are now at that time of year when most Scots celebrate the birth of Robert Burns and what place better for this than Ayrshire where Burns was born.

Now, there was a teller of tales even though his tales were in verse it tended to add to the quality of the story. However when considering Robert Burns and his propensity to tell tales of all aspects of life but mainly those attuned to the attractiveness of women, we wonder what he would have made of the Maid of Curragh who is said to lie under the stone in Curragh field having been put there to stop her nagging. I hope the maid can swim as I notice a lot of water has gathered around her stone of late. There is also the problem of Sir John Cathcart of Lendalfoot who married rich heiresses and then pushed them into the sea at Games Loup. That is of course until he met his eighth wife, who was a lady of some mettle, who got the better of him at Games Loup and reversed the process. Money never seemed to come into the bard’s reckoning as he would much prefer the company of an attractive woman and made that very plain. Robert Burns insight into the ways of man was well expressed in such poems as ‘Holy Willie’s Prayer’ and ‘The Cotter’s Saturday Night’. But the one with what I think is the richest tale to tell is that of ‘Tam O’Shanter’ which is a gathering of tales one could come across on the trip Tam would make on his way home from a night supping ale in the Market Inn in Ayr. Burns has gathered them all together into one tale full of excitement with the propensity to bring some horror into the minds of his listeners. It is a wonderful poem for all those skilled enough to bring the poem to life and enthrall his listeners.

But of course everyone has their favourites and although just a small farmer’s son, Robert Burns had an understanding of life few could match.

However life is full of people who can bring interest into our everyday lives just as long as we are able to appreciate it and pass it on. Consider James Maclean who was walking along a street in September 1950 when he looked up in time to see a nine year old boy falling some forty feet from a building.

Maclean instinctively reached out and caught the boy in his arms no doubt much to the relief of the youngster’s parents.

There are many tales to keep us interested. See you next week.

l'Artista Blog

TABLEAUX. Children in my art classes respond well to this type of drawing exercise, the portrayal of a specific famous painting. The very act of preparing the model and the setting to reflect the painting being studied serves to help re-create the Master Artist’s painting in the minds of the participants. Using props, and placing them as accurately as possible, each child becomes actively involved in the setting-up process. Young artists become more intimately involved with the painting and, consequently, they become more motivated to recreate on paper the “live” enactment right there in their art studio environment, be it a traditional classroom or a home school setting.

Petition Closed

Persons Against Personhood in Oklahoma

This petition had 8,456 supporters

The Personhood Bill (SB 1433) in Oklahoma claims that "the life of each human being begins at conception" and that based on this every "unborn child at every stage of development" would have "all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state." If this bill makes its way through the Oklahoma legislature and ultimately becomes law, the consequences (both intended and unintended) will be catastrophic. Doctors would not be able to offer in vitro fertilization for families hoping to have children; families not hoping to have children would have limited birth control options, and life-threatening pregnancies would be forcefully carried to term or worse.
The only addendum made in the name of female reproductive rights is that the bill shall not "be interpreted as creating a cause of action against a woman for indirectly harming her unborn child by failing to properly care for herself or by failing to follow any particular program of prenatal care." This, coupled with the inability of women to receive abortions, would mean that the only legal recourse a woman would have in cases of unwanted or physically/emotionally dangerous pregnancies would be to literally harm herself.

The people of Oklahoma do not want this bill to become law. Listen to your constituents. This bill is a threat to all Oklahoma women and their families.

8 Classroom Projects for Silent Auctions

Planning a silent auction for your school? Consider auctioning student projects. Get the entire school involved. Have a list of options for the teachers, and let them choose what to have their class make or make it a school wide art project. We’re not talking painted rock paper weights, do some research, spend some time, and make the items useful, giftable, and unique. Classroom projects are perfect for in house silent auctions or online silent auctions.

Silent auctions are an excellent way for schools to raise funds. Including items made by the students is a good way to involve the community. If it is your first time holding an auction, consider investing in useful tools like silent auction software, which make it easier to organize, collect funds, and advertise your event.

Classroom Projects for Silent Auctions

Cornstarch Ornaments
Have each child in a classroom make a cornstarch ornament for a holiday tree. Choose a theme like Disney, Christmas characters, flowers, or birds. Place them in a fancy box with fancy paper, and they make a beautiful silent auction item. We found the ones pictured below at the Pickled Herring blog.

Annual Calendar
Collect artwork that has been created throughout the school year. Scan these, and use them as unique designs for each month of your yearly calendar. You can have several calendars available and print them out with VistaPrint.

A CD of Student Music
Assign students in a music class 5 or so songs to learn and practice. They can play instruments or sing. Have their musical performance recorded on a CD. If there isn’t enough time to practice 5 songs, you can simply make it a school-wide project, and ask several classes or grade levels to contribute a song to the CD compilation. Like the calendars, you can sell several of these to your bidders or as a school wide fundraiser.

Cozy Coasters
This is a fun classroom project. Click the link for details on how to make the coasters. They are a unique gift students can make and donors will enjoy.

Classroom Cookbook
Have a class compile a cookbook that features the favorite recipes of each student. Every child must write his choice of recipe onto a piece of fancy paper or cardstock. Then embellish the page with pictures of the finished product. Don’t forget to let the child write his name on the card and perhaps even a brief message on why the food item is his favorite. For children who are too young to write or make fancy designs, you can interview them about their favorite food and research the recipe for each food. Having this printed out will give you the option to sell as many as you want.

Chore Certificates
Ask children to volunteer to do chores and then auction off their donations in the form of gift certificates. The chores can include helpful activities like car washing, mowing the lawn, cleaning windows, babysitting, walking the dog and other errands. To add a creative touch, you can ask students to customize their own chore certificates. They can simply write the task they offer on the front of a card and their name. They can decorate and color it as they wish. Laminate the paper so that it looks more professional. Of course, and adult will go along to supervise.

Student Artwork
Art auctions are popular, and this type of event can be organized for the school. Collect pieces from different art classes throughout the school. These can include paintings, drawings and sculptures made by students for their art projects. Organize the activity so that it resembles an art exhibit. To make the items more interesting and unique, ask the students to write something about the masterpiece they created. We love this Block Painting example. Each student can design their own block.

● Children’s Poetry Book
Collect student poetry and compile into a book with student artwork. Choose a theme and have the kids write about it. These make fun reads and, if done well, great coffee table books.

By offering students’ class projects instead of buying items to auction off, you will significantly reduce the costs of putting on the event. Click here to see a complete list of fundraising ideas.

8 Steps to Decorating a Room

Source: iStock

Source: iStock

When it’s time to decorate a new room in your home, you don’t want to try tackling the project without a plan. Speak with an interior designer as you re-imagine the space—and spend some time covering it temporarily with patterns, designs and images. Here are some steps you can take to ensure a smooth design project for your room:

1. What’s the purpose? First, before you start to decorate your room, you need to decide what its purpose will be. Here are some common rooms and their purposes:

a.    Living room: entertainment, relaxation, watching movies

b.    Bedroom: sleeping, relaxation

c.    Dining room: eating, entertainment

d.    Home office: work, entertainment

Once you decide on the purpose of your room, you can plan the decor around it.

2. Keeping your preferences. While you should decorate the room around the purpose, you should also keep personal preferences in mind. You don’t want to include colors, designs, and decor that you hate just because they flow with the purpose. You should choose designs that you’ll enjoy. Interior designers are particularly good about blending what you need with what you like to create a perfect result.

3. Create a budget. Stay within budget and get a great room at the end of the project. Figure out how much you’re willing to spend on the decorating project without breaking your bank. You’ll also need to factor in the cost to hire an interior designer, which can average between $1,500 and $4,500.

4. Devise a floor plan. As you start thinking about interior decor for the room—furniture, plants and standing lamps, for example—make a plan to avoid cluttering the room. Draw a rough sketch of the room to scale and plan where you might put furniture and other decor. It will help you stay within budget, keep the room well-organized and put you on a straight course for success.

5. Pick a color scheme. Decorating the interior means choosing a color scheme. You can play geometric patterns and floral prints and mix them with colors. Maybe you want to go with a natural decor theme, with lots of plants and greens and browns. Or, you could choose just one or two colors. It’s important to choose colors that will complement the furniture and other decor to avoid clashing.

6. Remember other rooms. When decorating this new room, remember to keep other rooms in mind. You don’t want to paint this room in a completely different color scheme or decorate in shades that may conflict with those in the rest of your home. You can change it a little bit, use a few different colors.

7. Choose furniture carefully. Remember that the furniture you choose is going to be with you a long time. Don’t pick a sofa, loveseat, or chair that’s going to be difficult to move or incorporate into a new home later. You also want it to fit easily through the doorway and be fairly simple to install. You might also consider furniture that can fit into other parts of your home, in case you decide to switch it up down the road.

8. Don’t forget the lights. Once you have painted and placed all of the furniture and decor in the room, it’s time to add lighting to accent everything. You want task lighting for areas you’ll work or spend the most time in. You might also install ambient lighting to set the mood, depending on the purpose of the room. Consider standing lamps if the room is large.

5 Undrafted Players Most Likely to Become NBA Stars

Jamie Squire/Getty Images

As the NBA Draft wound down last Friday night, drafted players took to New York City to celebrate. Unfortunately, of the hundreds of college and international players who had thrown their hats into the ring that is the NBA Draft, only 60 could be chosen. But that doesn’t necessarily mean their careers are over: far from it.

Starting this week, many of the undrafted players have received invitations from NBA teams to play on their summer league teams—halfway between the NBA equivalent of the minor leagues and a rookie training camp—with hopes to impress the right people and make a roster for next season. The reality, though, is that many of those players won’t. There are only a handful of undrafted players in the NBA’s storied history who have turned their precarious status into successful careers. Ben Wallace, for example, finished a 16-year NBA career in 2012 having started in 912 games and making four All-Star appearances (and anchoring an NBA Finals winner) after being a little known player out of Virginia Union.

Most of the undrafted players in this year’s draft won’t become four-time All Stars—or even become a one-time All-Star, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Thus, here are five players whose names weren’t called on Friday that have the best likelihood of making a future name for themselves in the NBA.

KANSAS CITY, MO - MARCH 13: Cliff Alexander #2 of the Kansas Jayhawks watches teammates shoot around before a game against the Baylor Bears during the semifinals round of the Big 12 basketball tournament at Sprint Center on March 13, 2015 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Ed Zurga/Getty Images

1. Cliff Alexander

Alexander entered the University of Kansas this past season as a highly touted forward, and his talent made him a prototypical candidate to be “one-and-done” in this current era of basketball. And while he did end up leaving for the NBA after one year—so technically he was one and done—being undrafted takes away from the title.

Undrafted or not, there’s no doubt that Alexander has the athletic ability to succeed in the NBA. It’s just that his freshman season in Lawrence didn’t provide much evidence of that. He averaged a mere 7.1 points per game and an even meeker 5.3 rebounds per game. When you couple those numbers with his 56-percent clip from the field, he had a very subpar year given how highly he was regarded.

Despite his lackluster performance in college, though, it seems likely a team, or teams for that matter, will take a chance onhis athletic potential. At six-foot-eight, the 240-pound wing has a high ceiling—figuratively and possibly literally. After all, he’ll only be turning 20 years old this coming November. Given time to develop, Alexander could blossom into a star.

2. Dez Wells

Wells entered college in 2011 at Xavier as a big-time recruit with even more promise. But off-the-court issues plagued him his entire first season; so much so that he ended up transferring to Maryland. Despite struggling early with the Terrapins, he rounded out a three-year career with above average numbers and showed that he had matured and moved past any of the off-court issues that had tarnished his name.

With Maryland moving to the Big Ten his senior season, Wells had a terrific year—good enough to give some challenge to Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky, had the Badger not been the clear Big Ten Player of the Year. He was second on Maryland’s team in points per game (15.1) and rebounds per game (5.3), and led the team in accuracy from behind the arc, shooting an impressive 51 percent. Regardless of any questions teams had concerning his character, he showed a veteran presence and leadership as a senior, and his shooting ability should translate nicely from the college level to the NBA level.

3. Quinn Cook

Similar to Wells, Cook isn’t a one-and-done star—the furthest from it actually. He rounded out a four-year career this past season at Duke, notably helping the Blue Devils to a National Championship. While he never quite had the breakout season he probably wanted, his senior campaign didn’t disappoint. With freshmen sensations Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor and Justice Winslow leading the way, Cook could’ve easily fell in the wayside. But he didn’t.

He showed a refusal to quit that any NBA team would want. Averaging 35.8 minutes per game this past season (remember, college games are 40 minutes, so he logged quite a bit of court time), Cook finished the year scoring 15.3 points per game. At six-foot-two he might be a bit undersized for a guard, but durability and resilience sometimes outweighs sheer talent and size. By the time Duke wrapped up their 2014 tournament run, Cook had appeared in 143 games as a Blue Devil and played 4033 total minutes. Those kinds of numbers are unprecedented, and NBA teams shouldn’t overlook it.

PITTSBURGH, PA - MARCH 19: Jonathan Holmes #10 of the Texas Longhorns plays against the Butler Bulldogs during the second round of the 2015 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Consol Energy Center on March 19, 2015 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Justin K. Aller/Getty Images

4. Jonathon Holmes

Holmes, much more similar to Wells and Cook than Alexander, played all four years at Texas. He’s an athletic, strong forward, and can score from anywhere around the basket. Teams likely passed on him because he’ll be turning 23 years old this December, and in terms of development, his ceiling might be nearly reached already.

Despite that, Holmes averaged more than ten points per game in his final two seasons at Texas—12.8 and 10.3, respectively—all while playing in the Big 12, which many considered one of the nation’s best conferences from top to bottom. Holmes does have post skills and can shoot from the outside, too, so given the right system, he could find a niche with an NBA team down the line.

5. Terran Petteway

Petteway, the second player on this list that transferred schools after his first season of college basketball, forewent his senior season at Nebraska by entering the 2015 Draft. While he might be regretting that decision now as he went undrafted, he has the potential to at least make a team, if not develop into an every-day player. His sophomore and junior seasons with the Cornhuskers saw Petteway average an impressive 18.1 points per game. As a six-foot-six guard-forward combo, some team will at least give him a chance given his ability to score from all over the court—something he proved time and again in the Big Ten.

The Resurrection of the Wicked

Display c962ca1a a130 45f4 a249 6a0905973f40

The Pharisees constituted the “straitest” sect of the Jewish religion in the time of Christ (Acts 26:5), but they were not without their own theological flaws. For one thing, they denied that the wicked dead would be raised from the grave.

In his discussion of the Pharisees, the Jewish historian Josephus declared that the Pharisees “believe that souls have an immortal vigor in them,” and that there will be eternal rewards and punishments for both the obedient and disobedient, corresponding to how one has lived upon the earth — whether “virtuously or viciously.” But only the righteous “shall have the power to revive and live again,” i.e., be raised from the dead (Antiquities 18.1.3).

The Sadducees, of course, denied the resurrection of the body outright (Mt. 22:23; Acts 23:8).

Biblical Evidence

To the contrary, the scriptures teach there shall be a resurrection of both classes. Five examples of testimony should be sufficient to make the point.

Daniel’s Prophecy

Daniel the prophet wrote: “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Dan. 12:2).

The term “sleep” has to do with the disposition of the body (not the soul) during the state of death. In this case, both those destined to “everlasting life,” and those who will suffer “shame and everlasting contempt,” are to “awake.”

The significance of “awake” clearly is that of a resurrection of the body. There is no way this passage can be taken seriously and one fail to acknowledge there will be a general resurrection of both the faithful and the unfaithful.

Testimony of Christ

Christ himself declared:

“Marvel not at this: for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment [damnation—KJV]” (Jn. 5:28-29).

The Savior foretells a universal resurrection.

All are to be raised at the same hour, and that event specifically will involve those who enter into life, as well as those who are to encounter judgment, signifying “the last judgment, the damnation of the wicked” (Thayer, 362).

This is eternal estrangement from the Creator.

Add to this the fact that Christ warned:

“And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Mt. 10:28).

A significant point about this passage, from our current perspective, is the fact that Christ speaks of “hell” (gehenna) as the eternal abode of the wicked with its “unquenchable fire.”

In that connection, the Lord refers to the condemned as having both body and soul, along with hands, feet, and eyes (Mk. 9:43-48).

Paul’s Defense of the Gospel

In a defense of the Christian Way before certain Jewish dignitaries, Paul set from this proposition:

“But this I confess unto you, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets; having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust” (Acts 24:14-15).

Again, it is perfectly transparent that the “unjust” will be resurrected from the grave.

John’s Final Message of Hope

In the twentieth chapter of Revelation there is a record of John’s vision on Patmos. He sweeps forward to the day of Judgment. In connection with that event, the apostle writes that

“[T]he sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works” (Rev. 20:13).

The distinction drawn between “death” and “Hades” reveals that both the bodies and souls of every person were in view.

The Righteous are Emphasized

Though the resurrection of the lost is obviously a solid teaching of the scriptures, the Bible student must admit that there is far less emphasis on the raising of the damned than there is on the resurrection of the saved.

For example, the resurrection of God’s faithful people is treated in one entire chapter, 1 Corinthians 15, with considerable supplementation as well in 1 Thessalonians 4:13ff.

But this imbalance of material is actually to be expected.

The entire thrust of the Bible is one emphasizing the joy, peace, contentment, and everlasting reward in serving the Creator. The fate of human rebels is but a tragic appendage to the otherwise beautiful purpose of a loving God.

The Essence of a Resurrection

There is one important observation to be made before proceeding further. The term “resurrection” is translated from the Greek word anastasis. It is derived from two roots — ana, “up,” and histemi, “to cause to stand.”

A resurrection, therefore, is the rising up of that which has been laid down. The body that dies and is laid to rest (or burned, drowned, etc.) will be the same body in identity that comes forth again.

Of course the resurrected body will be of a different essence, as Paul indicates in 1 Corinthians 15:42ff — though in that context he particularly focuses on the resurrection of the believer’s body.

Two points are important to keep in mind. First, each body will retain its own individuality (“each seed a body of its own” — 1 Cor. 15:38).

Second, there will be an identity continuum between the old body and the new body. Otherwise, the term “resurrection” becomes meaningless.

The thrust of this article is to consider the resurrection of the doomed.

The Resurrected Body of the Wicked

Though it certainly is not a pressing issue, it is a matter of some interest as to the nature of the bodies of those to be raised from the dead to spend eternity — body and soul — in hell.

Let us consider this matter briefly, since the scriptures teach that the resurrected body (of both saved and lost) will bear a just portion of the consequence of the life one has lived upon the earth.

While the Bible does not address this matter in considerable detail, there are descriptions in certain texts that allow a degree of respectful speculation — if pursued in moderation.

Shame and Contempt

It is in connection with the resurrection of the body that the wicked are said to suffer “shame” and “everlasting contempt” (Dan. 12:2). Exactly what this effect will be, one cannot say precisely. It does seem, however, at least to include the fate of the body.

The Hebrew term for “shame” is harapot, signifying “reproaches,” in the sense of being victim of the reproaches of others.

The word “contempt” suggests the idea of, “to repel from oneself,” thus “something abhorrent” (see: Brown, et al., 357, 201; Wood, 318).

These terms do not reflect the notion of attractive creatures! There will be no “handsome hunks” or “glamour girls” in hell. The text paints a nightmare sort of picture. Dante’s Inferno does not do justice to the horrid environment.

Ruined or Destroyed

In Matthew 10:28 Christ spoke of both body and soul being “destroyed” in hell. “Destroyed” is from the term apollumi, an intensified verbal form hinting of “utter destruction.”

Annihilationists interpret this as meaning “going out of existence,” but the word does not imply that, as the consultation of a Greek concordance will reveal. Homer employed the term of a city demolished or laid waste (Iliad 5.648).

In the New Testament the term might be used of old, cracked wineskins (Mt. 9:17), fading beauty (Jas. 1:11), spoiled food (Jn. 6:27), or a lost sheep (Lk. 15:4).

“The idea is not extinction but ruin, loss, not of being, but of well-being” (Vine, 211).

The term clearly seems to indicate that the body of the wicked will reflect a ruined condition. The beauty of its earthly design is egregiously diminished, if not extinguished altogether. There is no bodily “redemption” (Rom. 8:23) for the rogue!

One can only imagine how horrible the scenes of hell could be.

The resurrected bodies of the unrighteous will be susceptible to pain, together with whatever “conscience” and “memory” torments they will experience (cf. Lk. 16:27-28).

The Worm Doesn’t Die

By means of a dramatic metaphor, Jesus describes the punishment of hell as a condition “where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched” (Mk. 9:48). The term “worm” (skolex) denoted that type of worm that preys on dead bodies (Thayer, 580).

In addition, the present tense form of the verb “die” together with the negative “not” demonstrate that the gnawing anguish will neither decrease nor end.

The imagery unquestionably brings the agony of the doomed person’s resurrected body into sharp focus.

Contrasted With the Righteous

There also are certain conclusions to be drawn in the contrasts between the resurrected just and the unjust. For example, Daniel wrote:

“And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever” (Dan. 12:3).

To this Jesus adds:

“Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father” (Mt. 13:43).

The resplendent bodies of the godly will stand in bold contrast to the ominously dark countenances of the wretched. For the ungodly there will be no “celestial” or “glorified” body (1 Cor. 15:40, 43). And, as noted already, there will be no body “redemption” as affirmed by Paul on behalf of the godly (Rom. 8:23).

How forlorn the lost will be as they contemplate their disenfranchised state, when Christ raises his people to

“fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself” (Phil. 3:21).

Perhaps this is a question about which you, as a student of God’s word, have wondered, but never have pursued.

Assuredly, it is an issue upon which to reflect seriously as one contemplates the reality of eternity.

Contribution seen from an Excellent Manager

An excellent manager will have his creative mind working at all times. He or she will also have the skill to spot creative talent in his/her team members and will always provide encouragement to them.

An excellent manager identifies talents and resources in order to support and bring out the best in others. As a leader he or she should be able to evoke possibilities in others. Here are some qualities that a good manager should possess:

Every company will have certain structures and parameters outlined. A stellar manager knows how to work within these structures and will not let the structure impinge upon the process or the project. If you know the structure intimately, only then will you be able to guide others to work effectively.

Good managers need their intuition radars in well working order. People with keen insights are often able to sense what others are feeling and thinking; consequently they are able to respond perfectly to another through their deeper understanding.

A manager needs a very strong and stable knowledge base. It must be so ingrained and integrated into your being that you become transparent, focusing on the employees. An excellent manager lives from a knowledge base, without having to draw attention to it.

Employees value leaders who are human and who don’t hide behind their authority. The best leaders are those aren’t afraid to be themselves. Managers who respect and connect with others on a human level inspire great loyalty.

A manager is committed to the success of the project and that of all team members. He or she holds the vision for the collective team and moves the team closer to the goal.

A manager can’t afford to be rigid. Flexibility and versatility should be his or her core quality. In times, of a crisis, this is the quality that will help the ship from sinking.

A professional manager doesn’t just produce outstanding results; he or she has fun in the process. Lightness doesn’t impede results, but rather helps to move the team forward. Every team needs a healthy dash of humor in its day-to-day work life. Team members who enjoy working with each other will deliver excellent results.

Managers have to be the role models for their team members. Make sure that the rules that you set for your team are also followed by you. A manager who tries to forgo the rules formed by him or her soon loses respect.

Excellent managers see the big picture concurrent with managing the details. An excellent manager is skillful at gauging the big picture and will take small but sure steps to reach there.

An employee’s productivity is directly proportional to his / her job satisfaction levels and needs by his / her employer. If ever an employee feels that there is a need to ask for a raise, he /she can do so and convey the same in a professional manner. It’s wise for an employee to voice and share his / her reason for asking the same by citing logical explanations. In order to derive maximum benefit, one can highlight achievement with examples and also discuss ways through which your actions add value to the company. This shouldn’t be misconstrued by the HR in a negative manner. However, it’s not advisable if the employee decides to adopt this approach at the time of resigning in order to derive benefit out of it.

Typically most people feel that their intrinsic worth is greater than what is re-printed by their pay slip. This causes them to ask for raises. Additionally, the act of negotiating a raise assumes a certain level of emotional maturity and goodwill on the part of the employees and the manager. If it goes wrong then it can impede career growth within the organization for the individual. The person asking for a raise therefore, needs careful construction, preparation and delivery. Ultimately, it is a gamble that has unknown outcomes and unless there is a clear cause, it is best to let the temptation to negotiate for a raise pass.

It is appropriate for an employee to negotiate for pay rise with their respective managers. Today salary is an important aspect which enhances one’s motivational levels and productivity. Initiating talks with the manager helps strengthen the relationship and he/she would further provide support and guidance for a better pay hike and career thus paying off the hard efforts. Intimated with the employee’s discussion on pay rise the manager may also feel the need to pay slight perks or pay hikes to build a healthy and happy work atmosphere boosting encouragement for better standard of work from the employees.

Critical Essays The Meaning and Importance of I" in Anthem"

One of the most striking features of Anthem is its use of language, especially the absence of the word "I." Characters refer to themselves using the first person plural "we" and not the first person singular "I." This use of language is often confusing, but must be understood if the book's meaning is to be clear. The use of the plural rather than the singular self-reference, goes to the heart of the book's meaning.

The collectivist society in which Equality 7-2521 lives is similar to the Nazi and Communist states of the twentieth century. The rulers of this society do not permit any individual to think freely; all must subordinate themselves to the state. "Collectivism," Ayn Rand notes, "means the subjugation of the individual to the group — whether to a race, class or state does not matter." Under such conditions, a person is not regarded as an autonomous individual with a life of his or her own, but as a fragment of a group whose sole purpose is to serve its needs.

The rulers of Equality 7-2521's society seek to discourage even the realization of individuality; they attempt to inculcate an "ant colony" mentality in which human beings emulate the self-sacrificial existence of insects serving the overall good of the whole. The authorities wish to expunge from human nature all thoughts of individuality and, as a consequence, all elements of a personal life in action. No one has a personal name; instead each is tagged with generalized concepts of collectivism such as Equality, International, Solidarity, and so on. This attempt to extirpate all elements of individuality similarly explains why each person has a number attached to this collectivist label. Because the state considers individuality unreal, no person is unique or outstanding, human beings are interchangeable parts of a greater whole.

As a further means toward the obliteration of individuality, the state has forbidden friendship and romantic love. These elements of individuality are considered examples of the Transgression of Preference, the act of singling one person out of the mass of humankind for purposes of establishing a close relationship.

But the state's main weapon against individualism is the crude but effective form of thought control that it practices. The state has forbidden humans from speaking or even thinking of the word "I." Society has mandated, under punishment of death, that all first-person references are with the plural "we," even when the reference is to a single person. Over a period of centuries, the rulers have managed to extirpate all knowledge of the word "I" from the language. All that remains is a vague memory that there is such a thing as an Unspeakable Word — but no one has an inkling that it is the word "I."

Despite the primitive backwardness of this collectivist society, the power of its suppressive methods must be recognized. The dictators have succeeded in subjugating the populace in ways that go beyond the stifling policies of such murderous tyrants as Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot. These real-life collectivist rulers forced millions of human beings to surrender their individuality in practice. The dictatorial regimes of Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Communist China, and Communist Cambodia forced their citizens, in action, to serve the state. Individuals had no right to their own lives, and their actions were brutally controlled; they were slaves of Nazism or Communism.

But even these bloody dictatorships were not able to so alter the very terms in which humans think as to eradicate the vocabulary of individuality. The fictitious state of the novel has succeeded in expunging all concepts of independent personhood, wiping out human beings' means to even think as individuals. This act is the most thorough form of thought control ever devised. The deluded citizens have only one self-concept available to them — splintered fragments of the group. Everyone thinks of themselves as merely nameless, faceless, individuality-less chunks of an amorphous mass.

The state succeeds in eliminating all thoughts of independent existence for many years, perhaps centuries. The Saint of the Pyre is the only man who re-discovers the existence and meaning of the word "I" — and he is condemned to death. The other members of society do not even wonder about what is missing from their lives. Equality 7-2521, however, says that the sight of the Saint being burned has stayed with him, "it haunts us and follows us, and it gives us no rest." More than the injustice of a hero tortured to death haunts Equality 7-2521; it is a desire to know the Unspeakable Word at all costs. "What — even if we have to burn for it — is the Unspeakable Word?"

He is alone with these tormenting thoughts until the Golden One joins him on the quest to discover this lost word. Attempting to express her feelings, she realizes the inadequacy of the vocabulary available to her. "No . . . We are one . . . alone . . . and only . . . and we love you who are one . . . alone . . . and only." Two threads intertwine here. They know of the Unspeakable Word. They also recognize that they are unable to properly express themselves in the first person. In short order, they come to realize that the two issues are the same.

Despite the suppressive methods of the Councils, some members of this society retain individuality. Equality 7-2521 wonders ceaselessly about the lost word. He maintains the secret of the tunnel and uses it for his forbidden research. He decides that the Golden One is not to be touched by the Councils' policies of state-controlled breeding. He is a man who stands tall. But he does not have to stand alone. Others in this society have not surrendered their minds to the rulers.

International 4-8818, like Equality 7-2521, commits the Transgression of Preference; he selects Equality 7-2521 as his friend from the mass of humanity. Upon hearing Equality 7-2521's astounding words that they will not report the tunnel, International 4-8818 covers his ears, for never has he heard such words. But he chooses to risk death with his friend rather than obey the councils. "Rather shall we be evil with you than be good with all our brothers." He covers for Equality 7-2521 during the years in which he conducts his illicit research and never betrays him.

Liberty 5-3000, the Golden One, similarly refuses to surrender her independence to the state. She, too, defies the decrees of the councils to achieve her ends. She notices Equality 7-2521, though she is supposed to take no heed of men. She names him in her mind The Unconquered. She speaks to him against all the rules. She abandons the city and the only life she has ever known, venturing alone into the Uncharted Forest to find him. In the end, it is she who, unaided, comes closest to re-discovering the Unspeakable Word when, in the forest, she gropes for the words with which to accurately express her feelings. She is an individualist like Equality 7-2521 and International 4-8818.

Despite the policies of the councils, a few members of this society retain their independence while the majority surrender their souls to the state. Why is it that a few resist while the majority acquiesces? What sets apart from the crowd of followers such heroic individualists as Equality 7-2521, International 4-8818, and the Golden One?

The answer the author gives is that some exceptional individuals refuse to give up their minds to authority. Equality 7-2521 and his allies understand, even without the words, that human beings are by nature rational animals and that thinking is an individualistic activity. "I think" is the essence of their being.

Pop Quiz!

After inventing the electric light, why does Equality 7-2521 want to know about his appearance?

CLM crew raises money for charity in MK Dragon Boat race

A crew of stalwarts from fleet management specialist, CLM, has raised more than £600 for charity after competing in the annual 50-team Milton Keynes Dragon Boat Festival.

Racing on Willen Lake against competitors from companies and organisations in the local area, the mixed CLM crew comprised 16 rowers and one drummer – claims executive, Jane Bartlett, who hammered out a beat Ringo Starr that would have been proud of, perched precariously on a narrow platform at the front of the 40ft boat.

Unfortunately, Jane’s valiant efforts were in vain, as the gallant crew failed to make it to the semi-finals, finishing several seconds off the pace in each of their three heats, and eventually coming in in 44th place. The CLM crew, wearing branded blue shirts kindly supplied by Goodyear Tyres, were cheered on by directors, staff and family members from the safety of the shore, and afterwards, everyone was delighted that the sum of £633.75 had been raised for the Age UK Milton Keynes charity.

Team organiser, David White, beaten but unbowed, said: “It was a great effort from the CLM team in what was our first attempt. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, and in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘we’ll be back!’.”

In protest, Reddit rolls its own pot ads

Parent company Conde Nast tells social-news site to quit running ads promoting marijuana legalization, saying it doesn't want the revenue from them. Reddit's solution: run the ads and don't charge for them.

Quirky social-news site Reddit always seemed an unusual acquisition for Manhattan media giant Conde Nast, and it's never been more evident: asked by Conde Nast overlords to stop running advertisements on behalf of advocates of California's Proposition 19, which supports the legalization of marijuana, Reddit decided they'd do it anyway.

Because Conde Nast said its main concern was obtaining revenue from those controversial advocacy groups, Reddit's solution was that they would simply run the ads for free.

"This was a decision made at the highest levels of Conde Nast," an announcement from Reddit read. "Reddit itself strongly disagrees with it and, frankly, thinks it's ridiculous that we're turning away advertising money...We're trying to convince Corporate that they're making the wrong decision here, and we encourage the community to create a petition, so that your anger is organized in a way that will produce results."

Conde Nast's official response: "As a corporation, Conde Nast does not want to benefit financially from this particular issue."

Reddit's users, many of whom are outspoken marijuana legalization advocates themselves (Reddit operates a sub-site called "Trees," devoted to weed-related news), had been up in arms over the decision. Dozens of users said that they would be instituting ad-blocking software in protest. Recently, pro-legalization ads have been making headlines because of the revelation that while Google's policies are relatively liberal, Facebook will ban ads that contain images of "drug paraphernalia, or tobacco." The iconic green cannabis leaf doesn't make the cut.

Representatives of the advocacy group that created the ads, Just Say Now, said that they are particularly concerned about Conde Nast's rejection of the advertisements because the group supports medical marijuana ballot initiatives in addition to Proposition 19.

"Reddit's decision to side with its users and Just Say Now is a big step forward to fight against corporate nannies like Conde Nast and Facebook, who'd rather censor marijuana than encourage an open discussion," a statement from Just Say Now organizer Michael Whitney read. "The reality is that a majority of Americans want to end the war on marijuana, and it's time for Conde Nast, Facebook, and other censor-happy corporations to catch up to the rest of the country. Just Say Now is thrilled to have the support of companies like Reddit and Google in allowing a debate about ending the war on marijuana."

This is the second time in fewer than two months that Reddit has vocally expressed dissatisfaction with its Conde Nast parentage. Last month, the site put out a call for user donations to help make changes, claiming that Conde Nast's budget allotments to Reddit wouldn't cover them.

This post was expanded at 4:15 a.m. PT on Monday with comment from Just Say Now.

Liberals in a Tizzy

Walter E. Williams
By Walter E. Williams | September 5, 2017 | 8:50 AM EDT

Confederate General Stonewall Jackson (DoD Photo/Sgt. 1st Class Raymond J. Piper/Soldiers Live)

Many blacks and their white liberal allies demand the removal of statues of Confederate generals and the Confederate battle flag, and they are working up steam to destroy the images of Gens. Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee and President Jefferson Davis from Stone Mountain in Georgia. Allow me to speculate as to the whys of this statue removal craze, which we might call statucide.

To understand it, we need a review of the promises black and white liberals have been making for decades. In 1940, the black poverty rate was 87 percent. By 1960, it had fallen to 47 percent. During that interval, blacks were politically impotent. There were no anti-poverty programs or affirmative action programs. Nonetheless, this poverty reduction exceeded that in any other 20-year interval. But the black leadership argued that more was necessary. They said that broad advancement could not be made unless blacks gained political power.

Fifty years ago, there were fewer than 1,000 black elected officials nationwide. According to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, by 2011 there were roughly 10,500 black elected officials, not to mention a black president. But what were the fruits of greater political power? The greatest black poverty, poorest education, highest crime rates and greatest family instability are in cities such as Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland, Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Buffalo. The most common characteristic of these predominantly black cities is that for decades, all of them have been run by Democratic and presumably liberal politicians. Plus, in most cases, blacks have been mayors, chiefs of police, school superintendents and principals and have dominated city councils.

During the 1960s, black and white liberals called for more money to be spent on anti-poverty programs. Since the Lyndon Johnson administration's War on Poverty programs, U.S. taxpayers have forked over $22 trillion for anti-poverty programs. Adjusted for inflation, that's three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution. Despite that spending, the socio-economic condition for many blacks has worsened. In 1940, 86 percent of black children were born inside marriage, and the black illegitimacy rate was about 15 percent. Today, only 35 percent of black children are born inside marriage, and the illegitimacy rate hovers around 75 percent.

The visions of black civil rights leaders and their white liberal allies didn't quite pan out. Greater political power and massive anti-poverty spending produced little. The failure of political power and the failure of massive welfare spending to produce nirvana led to the expectation that if only there were a black president, everything would become better for blacks. I cannot think of a single black socio-economic statistic that improved during the two terms of the Barack Obama administration. Some have become tragically worse, such as the black homicide victimization rate. For example, on average in Chicago, one person is shot every two hours, 15 minutes, and a person is murdered every 12 1/2 hours.

So more political power hasn't worked. Massive poverty spending hasn't worked. Electing a black president hasn't worked. What should black leaders and their white liberal allies now turn their attention to in order to improve the socio-economic condition for blacks? It appears to be nearly unanimous that attention should be turned to the removal of Confederate statues. It's not only Confederate statue removal but Confederate names of schools and streets. Even the Council on American-Islamic Relations agrees. It just passed a resolution calling for the removal of all Confederate memorials, flags, street names and symbols from public spaces and property.

By the way, does the statue of Union Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman qualify for removal? He once explained his reluctance to enlist former slaves, writing, "I am honest in my belief that it is not fair to our men to count negroes as equals ... (but) is not a negro as good as a white man to stop a bullet?" It's difficult to determine where this purging of the nation's history should end.

A two-hour drive north of Madrid will get you to this massive converted Baroque-Romanesque abbey surrounded by vineyards. Abadia's aesthetic feels medieval (in a good way), with vaulted ceilings, thick stone walls, and a silent cloister, but no drafty bedrooms, ash-littered fireplaces, and drab brocade curtains. In their place are bright and airy pieces of modern furniture accenting by warm wood, and soaring windows, plus a one Michelin-starred restaurant, Refectorio. Examine the peeling frescoes while you make your way through a prix-fixe menu that might include smoked cauliflower soup and roasted squab with an artichoke and olive confit.
