Sun Blocked by Sun Flare Ups

A powerful solar eruption that has already disturbed radio communications in China could disrupt electrical power grids and satellites used on Earth in the next days, NASA said.

The massive sunspot, which astronomers say is the size of Jupiter, is the strongest solar flare in four years, NASA said Wednesday.

Class X flares are the most powerful of all solar events that can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms," disturbing telecommunications and electric grids, NASA said.The charged plasma particles were expected to reach the planet on Thursday.

The flare spread from the sun's southern hemisphere, which had so far lagged behind the northern hemisphere in flash activity. It followed several smaller flares in recent days.

"The calm before the storm," read a statement on the US National Weather Service Space Weather Prediction Service.

"Three CMEs are enroute, all a part of the Radio Blackout events on February 13, 14, and 15 (UTC). The last of the three seems to be the fastest and may catch both of the forerunners about mid to late ... February 17." "but some may last for many days," read a separate NWS statement.

"Ground to air, ship to shore, shortwave broadcast and amateur radio are vulnerable to disruption during geomagnetic storms. Navigation systems like GPS can also be adversely affected."

The China Meteorological Administration reported that the solar flare had jammed shortwave radio communications in southern China.

It said the flare caused "sudden ionospheric disturbances" in the atmosphere above China, and warned there was a high probability that large solar flares would appear over the next three days, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

In previous major disturbance of the Earth's electric grid from a solar incident, in 1973, a magnetic storm caused by a solar eruption plunged six million people into darkness in Canada's eastern-central Quebec province.

"Life increasingly depends on technologies that didn't exist when the magnetic recordings began," said Alan Thomson, BGS head of geomagnetism.

"Studying the records will tell us what we have to plan and prepare for to make sure systems can resist solar storms," he said.

Israel Is Surrounded!!

Pray for Israel in Jesus Name, they are surrounded on all sides by Muslim radicals that want their destruction.

"Caliphate"

The term caliphate (from the Arabic خلافة or khilāfa or Turkish Halife )it is a noun from the Arabic root word "Khalifa"‘behind’ or ‘back’ or to come after, or succeed. A khalifa is a person who succeeds another person, and judges "Sharia Law". The plural is khulafaa and the process is khelafah. in this case managing the affairs of the Muslim community. It refers to the first system of government established in Islam, and represented the political unity of the Muslim Nation. In theory, the meaning is that the head of state or "Caliph"and and other officials are dictate to the people according to Islamic law "Sharia Law", which exercises power over their citizens. It was initially led the disciples or Mohamed to a none-constitutional political system the prophet established, known as the "Rashidum Caliphates". It represented the political unity, not the theological unity of Muslims as theology was a personal matter. It was the world's first major institutional acclaimed empire claimed by the Mauryan Empire 800 years earlier)^. A "caliphate" is also a "State" which implements such as a governmental system. Sunny Islamic estates that the head of state "The Caliph", should be selected by the "Shura" a body of "Selected Iman" or their representatives. Followers of "Shia Islam" believe the caliph should be an Iman descended in a line of "Ahl al-Bayt". After the Rashidum period until 1924, caliphates, sometimes two at a single time, real and illusory, were ruled by dynasties. The first dynasty was the "Umayyad". This was followed by the "Abbasid", the "Fatimid", and finally the ver feared and awesome and powerful Ottoman Dynasty.

Listening to God

Sometime we need advice...Take it!!

I have a story...
It’s about this man that was in his house one afternoon. He notice that the rain started to come down, so he turned on the TV to hear the forecast. The announcer warned everyone of flash flooding and it would be best if this area would be evacuate it. But the man said to himself, God will help me, he wont let that happen, He will save me. Well the waters came up, so he had to go up to the second floor, when he heard a boat puttering by calling with a horn to come down to be rescued the man insisted that God would help him, and the boat left. The waters kept on going up, and the man had to climb on the roof. A helicopter flew by and lowered a ladder, and asked the man to climb it, but the man told them that God would help him and there was no need for that. The waters raged and took the house and the man died. When he was in heaven, a little disappointed he asked God “Why didn't you help me?" , and God answered " I tried, I told you from the announcer, I sent you a boat and even a helicopter, you just weren't listening..."
