Fukushima Daiichi, Supercomputer, & Earth Science
The Latest Fukushima Daiichi Pictures
The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper of Japan presented the latest Fukushima Daiichi pictures:
The M9.0 earthquake knocked down a transmission line tower for emergency power supply. A channel is also damaged. (Click to enlarge.)
A hydrogen gas explosion destroyed a sturdy nuclear reactor building. (Click to enlarge.)
Fukushima Daiichi Workers at accommodation facilities 20km far from the plant. (Click to enlarge.)

Sale of all the rice taken in around the farming house has been banned. Now all the farmers in Fukushima Prefecture are afraid of bad rumors spreading.
The Supercomputer K
The Japanese supercomputer, developed with costs of $1.4 billion, has secured its position as the world fastest supercomputer in two consecutive years.

Magnetic Field Inversion (magnetic pole reversal)
Japanese researchers have found a mechanism of the magnetic field inversion of the earth.
The magnetic north pole and south pole changed their position to each other once in 200,000 years or more in the history of the earth (N goes to the Antarctica and S comes up to the Arctic Zone). A research team consisting of members from Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and so on found that convection in the two layers of the outer shell is a key to understanding the magnetic field inversion of the earth.
The two layers each consisting of melted iron have internal movement of melted iron which is called convection. These two layers under the mantle below the earth's crust are immediately above the inner core of the earth which is made of high-temperature iron in a solid state. Heat from the inner core supplies energy for the lower layer of the two layers of liquid iron. But when melted iron in the lower layer gets heated and moves upward, it mingles with the upper layer to be one. Then as iron gets cooled, it sinks again to be separated into two layers again. At this point, the directions of convection in both the layers of liquid iron can be changed from the original ones. This change in directions of the convection of liquid iron in the two layers can cause the magnetic field inversion.
For this study, Japanese scientists use "SPring-8 (an acronym of Super Photon Ring – 8 GeV), a synchrotron radiation facility located in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan and run by the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPring-8)

Incidentally, it is also interesting that the magnetic north pole is moving around the rotation axis of the earth.

Has Christ Jesus visited Occupy Wall Street?
Or has the Vatican started to interfere with the euro crisis? Or otherwise, has an Islamic miracle emerged in Syria? Ultimately, have Judaists decided to take responsibility for every problem in the world as ones chosen by God?
If not, something is wrong, very, very wrong. The current civilization must be totally reviewed, since nobody is successful even without mentioning various problems and tragedies in China where money is making people so foolish and irresponsible.
The answer is that a man is not expected to live for himself. A man is not made to pursue his own prosperity and happiness. A man is allowed to live for the glory of the God. In other word, a man has to live for the sole purpose of making God happy and prosperous. It is so since no one was born by his own power, Everyone was born by the power of God. People belong to God.
In this context, God is the lord and the master of mankind. And, the Lord God Almighty says that a man should love the God with all of his mind and ability. And, Christ Jesus says to love others as we love ourselves. Only this spirit can solve the Occupy Wall Street issue, the euro crisis, the Islamic civil wars, and the Chinese corruption.
Otherwise, America will fail, Europe will collapse, the Islamic world will be forever in trouble, China is going to be disintegrated, and Judaists will become nothing.
Yet, some people might repent. Then, the history of mankind will be allowed to evolve for next centuries or next 2000 years.
Mar 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Mar 11:18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
