Read Numbers 19-20, Acts 21, and then the entry to get an idea why the punishment may have suited the crime.

The trend of portable technology continues to grow in popularity, causing devices like the cellphone to keep getting smaller. Let’s consider the evolution of the phone in the last few decades. Once, it was just a basic, land-line unit with cords of limited length and then the cordless phone was created. After that, the development of the cellphone came and most units have been about the size of small two-way walkie talkies. Now phones have gotten even smaller.

Take a moment to imagine a cellphone being the size of a portable mirror. That’s what Qiao Sheng has recently developed. They call it the A45. The device comes in a high lacquered finish and has a display which can be rotated through 180 degrees. The phone’s display is a 2.2” mirror-sized touch screen and the device has a user interface. Furthermore, the A45 is also equipped with a camera that uses 3 Megapixels. Unfortunately, there wasn’t information available at this time concerning the price of this new product.

Technology continues to become more portable, providing convenience and easy access for people on the go. Such examples of this include laptops, cellphones, iPods, netbooks and digital cameras. However, the energy sources for the tech we rely on are usually not so convenient. Batteries have a limited charge, so they eventually have to be recharged or replaced and special power cords and adapters have to be plugged into a stationary wall socket. If energy sources need to become more portable for easy transport, how about a power generator you can carry on your back?

Of course, you may be wondering how this is possible. The answer lies with Bourne Energy’s new development called the Backpack Power Plant or BPP-2. It is a thirty-pound, hydroelectric device that generates fifty watts of energy. That’s the same amount of power you can get from sixty solar panels. The device is about the size of a tall airtank and can be easily carried like a backpack. It can be used in any stream of water deeper than four feet and runs quietly without giving off heat or exhaust.
