| Revelation 9:7-14 – Commentary Posted: 26 Oct 2010 06:53 AM PDT 
7-10. And the appearance of the locusts…for five months all details are instruments of punishment. One more time we see thoroughness and severity of the judgment.
11. They have as king over them the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Destruction and in the Greek he has the name Appollyon. –
The Destroyer is God. God is the one who has been controlling these locusts. He has the power to destroy the wicked in judgment. There is no need to fear the Destroyer unless you are one of the unfaithful. 12. The first woe is past; behold two woes are still coming after these things. – For the wicked this is just the beginning of judgment. More is still to come. Now we can certainly feel the need to be faithful in our lives. 13. And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God. – The ALTAR IS THE PLACE OF REFUGE FOR THE SAINTS. The voice from the altar is from God. God is speaking and is in control of the things which are about to happen. 14. one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, – this is God who is speaking. “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” – These are the four angels who were holding back the winds. They are of God. The river Euphrates was a place where men came from to bring pain and suffering to other men. The same was about to happen. Hurt and suffering is coming from God and is coming to the wicked.  |
| Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy wants justice for Kashmir Posted: 26 Oct 2010 05:59 AM PDT 
The Booker Prize winner, Arundhati Roy had to face criticism for her comments on Kashmir, but she still sticks to her statement and even tries to defend it. 
She said, "Pity the nation that has to silence its writers for speaking their minds. Pity the nation that needs to jail those who ask for justice while communal killers, mass murderers, corporate scamsters, looters, rapists, and those who prey on the poorest of the poor, roam free." Her speeches made in reference to Kashmir's independence from India at New Delhi and Srinagar has created the current controversy. The writer might even get arrested under charges of sedition. She said, "I said what millions of people here say every day. I said what I as well as other commentators have written and said for years. Anybody who cares to read the transcripts of my speeches will see that they were fundamentally a call for justice." Roy is currently on her visit in the valley and she defended herself from Srinagar, inform the sources.  |

| International Festival of Inclusive Arts Aims at Guinness World Record Posted: 26 Oct 2010 02:52 AM PDT 
The International Festival of Inclusive Arts will be held from Dec. 2-10. It’s opening event – Beat the Drum for Inclusion will attempt to break a world record. The organizers will try to gather 11,000 participants on both sides of Victoria Harbor in a mass percussion performance of the Earth Shall Move. I reckon if 11,000 people start pounding drums at the same time, the earth might move. Perhaps that’s the idea. What a great way to increase awareness of people with different abilities and challenges. The festival opening coincides with the promotion of the International Day of Disabled Persons. It’s refreshing to see China doing something else that is big besides just making more money, building a bigger dam, using more oil and such. What do you think? go to 老毕看中国  |

Fashion designer and rape accused Anand Jon Alexander was sentenced to 59 years to life in prison for sexually assaulting seven girls and young women whom prosecutors said he enticed girls with the promise of modeling jobs. Anand Jon who appeared on the reality television show "America's Next Top Model," was convicted of 16 charges including rape and sexual assault in November. Wesley sentenced him to the maximum sentence for all but two of those counts, saying he showed no remorse for his actions and posed a danger to other young women. Wesley said Jon must serve 14 years in state prison – before he begins to serve a 45-year-to-life sentence. A few of Anand’s victims spoke before the sentencing. "I was 14. You took my adolescence, my trust, my dream and completely manipulated them for your sexual desires," one of the victims said, reading from a statement.  |
