By Allison Thompson It does not matter whether the climate you live in is hard winters or its temperate, by weatherproofing your decking you make sure that it lasts longer and looks beautiful. By taking a little time to make sure that your decking is properly protected really does make sense and getting started on weatherproofing the decking does not take much time either. All it requires is a minimum amount of materials and a lot of elbow grease (hard graft on your part). Firstly you should seal the deck for weatherproofing when it is first built and then again every few years to ensure that the wood continues to stay in the same condition. It is preferable if you gather together all the materials you require for weatherproofing before you start the work, and it would be sensible to check the weather report as well. Certainly carrying out the work on a day when it is likely to rain is not the most suitable of plans. But if you find that everything checks out then get your materials together and start. The materials that you will need to get the job done quickly and efficiently are a dust mask, a hose, safety glasses, a bucket of water with deck cleaner included in it, a belt sander and some sand paper, waterproofing staining sealer a paintbrush and a broom. If you want you can use a paint sprayer (you can either hire one or purchase one) and this will help to cut down the amount of time it takes to complete the task. You have your materials to hand the first thing you need to do is complete clean the deck, ensuring that you have cleaned out all the cracks and corners. If you should find any rough spots on the wood, then use the sander or sandpaper to smooth these down and always make sure you carefully remove any sawdust that is there with a broom. But please do not forget to put on your dust mask and safety glasses whilst carrying out any sanding works, although sawdust might not cause a major problem as you are only exposed to it for a short amount of time, it is better to be safe than sorry. Then once the deck has been fully prepped you can move on to sealing it. However, please make sure that the deck is dry and all surface areas are clean, smooth and ready to go. So going over again for luck will not be a bad thing to do. Now you are going to apply the weatherproofing seal, but before you do ensure that you have read the manufacturers instructions fully and if you intend to apply a coat of paint after sealing the deck then make sure that it will work with a paint undercoat. You have the choice of applying the sealant with either a paintbrush or sprayer but make sure that you cover the entire deck and this means you will need to pay close attention to the beams, railings and wall supports if any are present. Then upon completion allow the deck to dry fully as per the instructions provided by the manufacturer. You dont want to find that after spending a week or two building your deck that you have to wait yet more time before you can enjoy it. But by making sure that it has dried completely will ensure that the work you have carried out will provide you with many years of enjoyment, it may well be only a few hours or even a day that you have to wait before you really to start to feel the benefits of the decking, but isnt better that it will stay as beautiful as the day it was first installed.

By Anil Nigam In recent years there has been considerable discussion and concern about the possible hazards of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), including both RF (Radio Frequency) energy and power frequency (50-60 Hz) electromagnetic fields. All life on Earth has adapted to survive in an environment of weak, natural low-frequency electromagnetic fields (in addition to the Earth’s static geomagnetic field). Natural low-frequency EM fields come from two main sources: the sun and thunderstorm activity. But in the last 100 years, man-made fields at much higher intensities and with a very different spectral distribution have altered this natural EM background in ways that are not yet fully understood. It has been known since the early days of radio that RF energy can cause interference in most of the wireless operated systems and in devices which process extremely low power signals associated with control systems and in medical equipments. Very high density of Electromagnetic Fields have been known to have resulted in injuries by heating body tissue. These heat-related health hazards are called thermal effects. In addition, there is evidence that magnetic fields may produce biological effects at energy levels too low to cause body heating. The proposition that these thermal effects may produce harmful health consequences has produced a great deal of research. Human body nervous system is also known to work on extremely low intensities of electrical signals. Very little has been done to investigate the effect of Electromagnetic Fields on the human nervous and control system which as such leaves a lot of scope for future research. Potential Sources of EMR The list could be endless starting with seemingly harmless AC (alternating current) operating devices to all the intentional and non- intentional transmitters. Appreciable radiation occurs as the size of the components and connecting wires approaches one tenth of the wavelength of the operating frequency. The intensity of the field so radiated also depends on the power handled by the device. To name a few tube lights, spark plugs, washing machines, music systems, power amplifiers, computers, lifts, air conditioners, cable TV, computer screen etc all fall in the category of non-intentional transmitters but can be potential source of Electromagnetic Radiations. All radio and TV broadcasting systems, telecommunication systems and equipments, RADARS, mobile phones etc are intentional transmitters of Electromagnetic Radiations and may result in typical effects on various systems in addition to causing serious interference problems and affecting human body. With ever increasing use of modern digital technology in almost all the modern processing and communication equipments the threat of unintentional Electromagnetic Radiation is further enhanced. As all digital signals positively have a very large bandwidth, its increasing use will result in Electromagnetic Radiations in almost all the frequency ranges there by leaving a possibility of affecting most of electronic devices and also human beings. Some Typical Effects of EMR Electromagnetic Interference: Interference is the energy levels introduced by electronic or communications systems that have a detrimental effect on other systems. Any electronic system is capable of receiving Electromagnetic Radiations if the size of the components or connecting wires approaches one tenth of frequency that may be present in the surrounding environment due to any intentional or unintentional transmitter. Depending on the intensity of this unwanted received radiation there could be instances of malfunctioning of the device receiving this energy. There have been number of instances where such a condition had resulted in catastrophic failure of the equipments. The most famous example is the failure of the Electronic surveillance system installed at one of the ships of United Kingdom Naval forces during Falkland war due to operation of its own Radar system installed on the same warship. As a result of this only one system could be operated at one time resulting in the loss of the ship. Intentional Jamming of the radio receivers by the security and police forces is the utilization of this effect to make the enemies receivers inoperative, however it can also happen due to unwanted and unintentional Radiation of Electromagnetic fields. Effects on Human Body: Body tissues that are subjected to very high levels of RF energy may suffer serious heat damage. These effects depend upon the frequency of the energy, the power density of the RF field that strikes the body, and even on factors such as the polarization of the wave. However, additional longitudinal resonances occur at about 1 GHz near the body surface. Health Care Engineering: Is electromagnetic Interference (EMI) becoming a problem in the healthcare environment? Although electrical interference in hospitals is often regarded as no more than a minor nuisance, there are documented cases in which equipment failures due to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) have lead to injury or death. Some examples fare as follows: - In 1992, a patient attached to a monitor-defibrillator in an ambulance died because of interference from the ambulance radio prevented the machine from working (1). In 1987, patient monitoring systems failed to sound alarms because of interference; two patients died as a result (2). In 1993, a patient fitted with a pacemaker went into ventricular fibrillation shortly after being scanned with a metal detector outside a courtroom (2). As in many other fields, the amount and complexity of electronics in hospitals and other medical environments is increasing year by year. Despite this, the number of reported incidents of EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) problems fortunately does not appear to be growing. This is probably because most manufacturers and designers of medical electronic products have developed a good awareness of EMC. Pacemakers are typical examples, where their design with respect to compactness and immunity to radio frequency interference has greatly improved over the years. Nowadays, pacemakers are very reliable, but can still fail under extreme conditions. Pacemakers have failed in patients undergoing electro surgery (2) and in other cases where patients kept mobile phones in their chest pockets, a few centimeters from the pacemaker leads (3). The powered Wheelchair is another typical example: there are many stories of radio frequency interference. (RFI) from mobile phones or police walkie-talkies causing the wheelchair to drive itself and its occupant into traffic. These stories are based on real occurrences; reports of incidents in the USA in the early 1990s prompted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate the problem and recommend that the manufacturer change the design to give an immunity of at least 20V/m to RFI. The use of many items of electronics equipment in close proximity in the hospital environment means that the same sort of EMC problems are encountered as with other types of electronic products. However there are some special features of the hospital EM environment: Failure of medical devices can lead to injury or death. Some equipment found in hospitals is intentionally designed to emit electromagnetic energy, often for therapy. Other equipment, which may be located nearby, is designed to detect very small physiological signals. This combination has the potential to create EMC Problems. Also in hospitals, there is the question of whether to ban or restrict the use of mobile phones. They improve communications but can interfere with critical equipment. Many medical devices are connected directly to patients. For mains-powered devices, the designer must prevent electric shock as well as ensure EMC. Electronic equipment is constantly evolving, so there is always the possibility of new problems arising, e.g. interference from new types of mobile communications devices. Some Remedial Measures Ensuring EMC of the devices/ components: Electromagnetic compatibility describes a state in which the electromagnetic environments produced by natural phenomena and by other electrical and electronic devices do not cause interference in electronic equipment and systems of interest. In order to reach this state, it is necessary to reduce the emissions from sources that are controllable, or to increase the immunity of equipment that may be affected, or to do both. To try to eliminate all possibility of interference by decreasing emissions and increasing immunity further could incur a high cost to industry and could prevent new technologies from emerging. For example, a restriction lowering the transmitting power of cellular telephones so that consumers could place their cell phones on top of any electronic equipment might compromise the performance and economic viability of such communication systems. On the other hand, a requirement that all commercial electronic equipment perform without malfunction at ambient levels of 50 V/m would place a financial burden on manufacturers of a large range of equipment. The following are some of the techniques used to counter the effects of EMI: Source Elimination: An effective technique to eradicate interference is through identification and elimination of the source. In theory, this represents arguably the most effective of any measures, but is not practical in most situations, whereas this would require the source to be periodically or permanently disabled from operation. Grounding a grounding point represents a common reference point for a device or multiple devices that functions to ensure the safety or the equipment and operator, and its effects provide some immunity to noise and interference. Certain transmission and other Electronic equipment require adequate grounding to ensure proper operation. The Conductor used to ground the equipment should be the shortest necessary length to avoid a ground loop condition. This could result in energy transfer through conduction to connected devices. Filters The use of filters allows selected frequencies to pass through to the connected device, while rejecting or attenuating any frequencies that are outside the filter specifications. Examples of filters include low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass. Shielding. An effective manner used to minimize, and in some instances eliminate, EMI is to effectively shield components from interaction with electromagnetic energy. This technique is often expensive and causes major design engineering challenges, especially to fully shield a device, which requires that conductive material completely enclose the equipment or circuitry. Any separation in the shielding material reduces the effectiveness of the shielding technique. Conclusion With ever increasing use of the spectrum due to modern communication equipments and also use of latest digital processing techniques for most of the devices there is a need for laying down the guidelines for Emission standards. The extent of the spurious radiation by any device should be limited to the extent possible without increasing the cost of the product. Various governmental and nongovernmental agencies must come forward at national and international level to coordinate and standardize the permissible radiation limits REFERENCES (1)Banana Skins, UK EMC Journal, vol. 15, p. 8, February 1998.

By Patricia Coleman Black power was the political source of black theology, but black theology had another source –black religion. Black religion, as it evolved from the remnants of African traditional religions and slave religion, was the spiritual source of black theology. Although one can speak about these sources as distinct entities, they are, in reality, inseparable. The traditional Western separation of the physical and the spiritual, the sacred and the secular, is foreign to the Afro-American sensibility. Black religion provides black theology with a worldview and a metaphysical base from which to view the physical world and the social order. It has historically affirmed the inherent worth of black people, their dignity as creations of God even in inhumane situations, and God’s special providential care for them. The emergence of black theology in the 1960s was a continuation of this radical tradition in the form of intellectual freedom from the canons of white theological thought. This radicalism was not limited to the black church, but was seen in a variety of social and political expressions in the black community. However, because the black community did not divide the world into the sacred and the secular, the presence of the spirit of freedom in settings other than the ecclesiastical was quite consistent with the Afro-American religious sensibility. Black religion, especially its creative use of symbolism, gave black theology a distinctive language with which to express the deepest convictions and longings of an oppressed people. Its prayers, poetry, sermons, songs, and litanies provided the context for the telling of the black story. The folklore of black people contains stories which are more than entertainment. These stories embody, in narrative form, the historical hope and eschatological confidence of black people. Black theology has always been expressed in the language of black religion and folklore. Because it emerged from the experiential context of black people, black theology expressed the deepest religious commitments of black people in a language they created. Therefore, black theology could not remain true to its identity and adopt the language of Europe and North America . It had to be expressed as a folk theology.

By Caterina Christakos Have you ever imagined what it would be like to read a woman’s to mind - especially a woman you want to get into your bed? How about just being able to fake it enough that she thinks you can read her mind? Here are some powerful clues that can tell you if she is interested in you and the type of things she might be interested in in bed. 1) Is she biting her lower lip or licking it? She is definitely into you. This is a little signal that she isn’t even aware she is doing. It ranks right up there with playing with her hair and crossing and uncrossing her legs. 2) Does she lean into you when you are talking? You have grabbed her attention. 3) Does she touch you alot? If she is caressing your arm or finding excuses to touch you then you have a huge chance of scoring tonight. 4) Does she love it when you order food for her and make decisions? This might be a sign that she wants you to take charge in the bedroom. If she enjoys having her hands help down by you during sex, she might be into a little light bondage.Start with scarves to test her reaction. 5) Watch her while she eats her dinner. Does she really get into the meal, especially the dessert? Try adding some whipped cream or chocolate syrup to your night play. 6) Want a new way to turn her on? Try renting some erotic videos with a story line. Try the Red Shoe Diaries, Henry and June or Eyes Wide Shut. If she likes the scene in Eyes Wide Shut where they are wearing masks she may be open to experimentation and role play. 7) Want to get her in the mood? Try having a picnic on your living room floor. Include wine or champagne, strawberries, whipped cream and finger foods that you can feed each other. She will find it romantic and you have the privacy she may need to show her appreciation.

A pre-paid SIM card for Bahamas is the most economical way to have a controlled expenditure on your calls. To learn more about the pre-paid SIM card for Bahamas and the prices, please visit www.planetomni.com/FAQ_sim.shtml offering the best deal for country specific SIM cards. A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is of the size of a postage stamp which goes into a slot at the back of your mobile, when you open the back cover. Your SIM card securely holds the unique information, identifying you as a mobile phone subscriber, the subscription saved in the SIM card, telephone numbers, preferences, text messages and other information. As soon as you switch on your mobile, the unique information along with other network state information, such as, your current location area, your mobile identification number, your phone number, etc., will be transmitted to the network, when it will be verified at first before logging your phone to the network. Each SIM card is uniquely identified by the International Circuit Card ID (ICCID), which provides the information of the SIM card particulars to the network. Besides these, a SIM card holds your personal telephone address book and also the log of the calls that you received or made, along-with the time and date of those calls. The SIM card provides you with the facility to secure your mobile from being misused, through Personal Identification Number (PIN), which you need to punch into the phone in order to secure your handset use. If you have a GSM handset, it is likely that it will work in Bahamas. Networks in Bhahamas operate on 1900MHz frequency band, which is one of the frequency bands that are used in North America Canada. The frequency bands used in this part of the world are 850MHz and 1900MHz bands and one of them complies with the network frequency band in Bahamas. Never-the-less, you must be aware that you would require a SIM unlocked GSM handset to use the pre-paid SIM card for Bahamas, as a SIM locked phone would not work on any other SIM card except the one which came along with your phone. If you enter into some kind of a contract with a service provider, one of the clauses in the contract might have stipulated that you need to remain with the service provider for a period of time, which is usually one year. On and after you had signed the contract, you had received a phone of your choice from the options give to you by the service provider. The phone that you receive from the service provider, along-with the SIM card, is SIM locked. This would mean that you cannot use any other SIM card in your phone, except the one that you received from your service provider. Your phone just would not work with any other SIM card. You would need a GSM phone which is SIM unlocked, which means that it would work with any SIM card, including your pre-paid SIM card for Bahamas. If you find that your GSM phone is SIM locked, you might consider renting a compatible handset, for your visit to the Bahamas. To learn more about such rented GSM mobile phones, you may visit www.planetomni.com/FAQ_gsm.shtml GSM network works on four frequency bands and these are - 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz. Since countries operating on GSM technology has different frequency bands, mobile handsets are available, which operate on multiple bands. The quad-band phone serves to all the four GSM frequencies and can be operated in all the countries of the world. This is the type of mobile that you would need if you are frequently travelling to different parts of the world. The tri-band serves 800MHz, 900MHz and 1800MHz frequency bands, which would mean that the mobile phone will be operational in those countries where the network is operating on those frequencies. The dual-band phone would operate on only two of the four GSM frequency bands, viz., 800MHz and 1900 MHz. Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a technology that is being used by most of the world’s mobile phone networks.. It is a very successful wireless technology and is an unprecedented story of global achievement and cooperation. GSM has become the world’s most rapid growth wireless technology spanning over 214 countries. Presently GSM technology is being used by one in every five of the world’s population. It has been estimated that till June 2006 there were more than 2 billion GSM subscribers, which is 80% of the worlds cellular market.

When combined with a SIM CARD (which usually goes under the battery of the phone) the phone is able to communicate and the SIM CARD also holds the telephone number and memory for pre-paid credit. Rates can be extremely low using this system. For example in 99% of all SIM CARDS incoming calls are free and calls to the states can cost a trifle. Such as, from the UK to the USA 7 cents/minute, from Israel 22 cents, from Australia 27 cents. Yes, USA Dollar cents! There are today even prepaid service providers in the USA offering rates of 10 cents per minute to call anywhere in the US to any type of phone. No contracts, no credit card checks, no bills. Pre-paid means no minimums no contracts, no obligations. You only pay for the calls made.

By Jeffrey Hauser I used to collect pennies as a youth, but more recently went back to more serious collecting. Because there are so many newcomers like myself, I thought I would share the basics I almost forgot. Whether its for fun, investing, or profit, you need to know what you are doing. Assuming that you are seeking individual already-minted US silver or gold coins, the following applies. The value of a coin is determined by its (1) rarity i.e. the number of coins minted and (2) its condition. When buying a coin, consider how the condition was decided. If its the owners opinion, beware. That can be very subjective. Thats why you should choose coins that have already been graded by a reputable service. Use only first-tier, or national recognized agencies. Here are the ones universally considered the best: PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) 800-447-8848 and NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation of America) 800-642-2646. If you must try a second tier, or average service, they are: ANACS (Amos Certification Service) 800-888-1861 and ICG (Independent Coin Grading Co.)877-221-4424. Third tier or independent services should be avoided because no one really knows how they grade and what their criteria would be. For example, Star Grading Service, which only grades from MS60 to 70, accounts for 7% of the online graded coins according to their website. That means a coin sent to them gets at least a MS60. That could be a problem on a poor quality coin that should have a far less value You can bet that a low-priced coin is marked less because of the grading company used or none at all. When looking online at eBay for example, the MS or mint state grading might be listed as MS64 by the dealer, when the coin is closer to a MS62 when actually graded by the PCGS in the future. I would only buy something pre-graded or, if its a cheap coin say under $10, take a small chance and then send to the PCGS to have it graded for yourself. Another word of wisdom. You have a choice to make. Do you buy something rarer and lower quality or a higher MS and more plentiful? If its a Morgan silver dollar at $100, which is the better choice? It depends on what you will do with the coin. Is it for show? Then go for the luster and lower defects. After all, you want to show off your best. But if appreciation is the goal, a rarer coin might prove better in the long run. Either way, only spend what you can afford and have fun. Get a good beginners book for collectors and invest in the Official Red Book of US coin values. Learn whats out there on the internet and visit a local coin shop to see the actual coins. One last thought. Avoid the online auctioneers that dont take credit cards or PayPal. Someone that requires only a cashiers check offers no buyer protection. Most of the legitimate dealers take credit cards. And, like I said before, beware of the really low-cost coins. Pay a fair price based on the Red Book make sure they have a money-back guarantee. For a cheap starting point, consider the new State quarters program and buy a few proof sets, still available from the US Mint at www.usmint.gov where you get them direct. Also, consider the new American President silver dollars just instituted this year, which is also a US Mint product. And then enjoy investing in America and its vast financial heritage.

By Ann Shorb John 21:17 Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You. Currently Im doing pre-marital counseling with several young couples. Each time they come in, I can see the love in their eyes and feel the romance in the air. Thats quite a switch from many of the couples who come to me for counseling! Last week I asked one of these young ladies, What does he do to show you that he loves you? She quickly named several things that meant a lot to her. It was obvious that her fianc was doing a great job of letting her know how much he cared for her. Later that evening before going to bed, I read from Daily Light, John 21:17, Lord You know all things; You know that I love You. Then I asked myself, Is my love for my Savior as obvious to Him as that young mans love is to his bride? Christian counselor, Dr. Gary Chapman has written extensively on the ways to communicate your love to others, and how to hear and understand Gods messages of love to you. In his delightful books, The Five Love Languages, Dr. Chapman points out that we communicate that we care with words, gifts, time, touch and acts of service. The problem in human relationships is that people cant always hear what I am saying through my words, gifts, time, touch, or acts of service. Sometimes I fail to communicate it properly. Sometimes because of their own hurts or inability to recognize my efforts, my attempts to communicate that I care go unnoticed or are misconstrued. Not so with God. He hears and sees every thought, word, and action that I speak and what tells Him if I really love Him is the attitude of my heart. Truly, He knows all things. Does He know that I love Him? Does my life demonstrate that to Him unquestionably? Sweet Jesus, how I love You! I adore You and pray that my life will be lived in such a way that You will always know that I love You, and that others will recognize that love relationship as well.
