There is a "tradition" of translating certain New Testament passages in ways that give seeming support to slavery. This began already with the Catholic, Latin Vulgate version. Many later translators have followed the pattern created by the Vulgate, and so, they have put into certain passages in the apostle Paul's epistles wordings that might cause casual bible-readers to think that Paul supported slavery.
The question is, how should the Greek text of the relevant passages be interpreted? Really what was the apostle talking about? This article takes a closer look at that matter.
This is regarding the apostle Paul's use of the verbs deô, "to bind", and douloô, "to be bound". Later in this article, it will be shown that in a number of passages where many translations make it seem that Paul was talking about slavery, he probably referred to the "marriage bond" and not a bond of slavery.
Here are two passages where it is clear that Paul used those verbs in connection with the "marriage bond":
1 Corinthians 7:27 Are you bound [Greek deô] to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. (HCSB, highlighting and comment added)
1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. A brother or a sister is not bound [douloô] in such cases. God has called you to peace. (HCSB, highlighting and comment added)
In the Greek text of verse 27, the word for "bound" is the verb deô, in the form dedesai. In verse 15, it is the verb douloô, in the form dedoulôtai.
Those verbs appear also in such passages as 1 Timothy 6:1–2, Titus 2:9–10 and Ephesians 6:5–9. So, what about those verses? Was the apostle talking about the bond of slavery, as many translators have made it seem? Or, do even those passages refer to the "marriage bond"? There is more on this, later in this article.
This has to do with such passages as 1 Timothy 6:1–2 and Titus 2:9–10. In them, many translators have rendered the old Greek nouns kurios and despotês either as "master" or as "lord". This has led many people to think that the apostle Paul was talking about "masters" in the meaning "slave owners".
Here, it is good to know that in the old Greek culture, the "woman of the house" was called despotis or despoina, while her husband in his role as the "man of the house" was called despotês. Also: The wife was called kuria, and the husband kurios.
(Some think that the old Greek noun despotês came from the nouns domos, "house" [or deô, "to bind"], and posis which was used in such meanings as "spouse", "mate", "husband".)
So, the nouns despotis/despoina and kuria, and despotês and kurios, were often used in the meaning "the woman of the house" (wife) respectively "the man of the house" (husband).
Later in this article, it will be considered whether the above-mentioned passages in Paul's letters refer to wives and husbands, or to "slaves" and "slave-masters".
Before going into the for this context relevant scriptures where many translators have put in such words as "masters" and "slaves", let us first view a passage where it is obvious that Paul was not in favour of slavery, even though slavery is mentioned.
The apostle Paul wrote to a person called Philemon, about a man by the name Onesimus who earlier had been Philemon's slave (let us assume, before Philemon was converted). We read:
Philemon […] 15 For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, 16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave; a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 17 If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. 18 And if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account. 19 I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay; not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides. (VW06, highlighting added)
So, Paul told Philemon to view and treat Onesimus as a beloved brother, and not as a slave.
Many translations of the New Testament contain wordings which make it seem that the apostle Paul upheld slavery. Here is an example of that:
1 Timothy 6:1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine may not be blasphemed. 2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. (WBS, highlighting added)
Now, was Paul really talking about slavery, as that translation makes it seem? And, was he saying that slaves should honour those who enslave them? – Is it honourable to enslave others? Let us consider that passage and matter in more depth.
First, regarding the word which the above-quoted WBS renders as "masters": The Greek text has despotas, a plural form of the noun despotês which in the old Greek language often referred to husbands. The wife in her role as "the woman of the house" was called despoina, despotis or kuria, while the husband as "the man of the house" was called despotês or kurios. – Consider also the context, the preceding chapter which records that the apostle noted, 1 Timothy 5:14, that he wished younger widows to marry again and to oikodespoteô, as the verb in the Greek text is – that is, "to run the house" (let us assume, while her husband took care of his work). So, regarding 1 Timothy 6 – it appears that the apostle was simply saying that married women should respect their husbands. Putting that in other words: The wife (despotis) was to "run the house" – oikodespoteô, 1 Timothy 5:14 – but she was not to "run" her husband (despotês).
Then, concerning what the above-quoted WBS renders as "servants under the yoke" – in the Greek text the wording is hupo zugon douloi. The preposition hupo meant such things as "of", "by", "under" and "with". The literal meaning of the word douloi was "bound ones". – Keep in mind the earlier quoted 1 Corinthians 7:15 and 27 which show how Paul referred to marriage as the wife and the husband being "bound" to each other (deô, douloô).
That accounts for the first and last words in the phrase hupo zugon douloi that we find in the Greek text of 1 Timothy 6:1. Let us take a closer look also at the word zugon and its use in old Greek. (Again, here the question is whether Paul was talking about wives and husbands or about slaves and slave-masters.)
The noun zugon (zugos) was related to the verb zeugnumi which meant "to join". Zugos was used in many different meanings, among them "a pair" – also of persons: "A couple", if you wish. When a man and a woman are united by a marriage covenant, they become joined together and form a pair, a couple. (By the way, the English noun "couple" comes from the Latin copula which means "a tie", "a bond".) Consider even these zugos-related words in old Greek:
In short, regarding the first part of 1 Timothy 6:1 – it appears that in the Greek text of that verse, the word despotas refers to husbands (cf. despotis, wife), and that the phrase hosoi eisin hupo zugon douloi, "those bound by the bond", was a poetic expression which Paul used of the "marriage bond" between husbands and wives.
Then, let us consider the last part of that verse.
1 Timothy 6:1 […] that the name of God, and his teaching, be not reviled. (AND)
("Reviled": The Greek verb in question is blasphêmeô which simply means "to speak evil of".)
Consider this: Had Paul been talking about slaves, that comment would not have made much sense. But, if the disciples did not keep their marriage- and family-situation in a respectable state, that might have caused outsiders to speak evil of them.
So, perhaps the translation should be something like this:
1 Timothy 6:1 Let those who are "bound by the yoke", consider their husbands worth all respect, so that the name of God and the teachings will not be spoken evil of. 2 And, those who have believing husbands, let them not regard them lightly because they are brothers, but rather be submissive, for they are faithful and beloved, partakers in the good work. These things teach and exhort.
A note regarding verse 1, the words "so that the name of God and the teachings will not be spoken evil of" – the last part of Titus 2:5 contains a similar wording, clearly in regard to marriage- and family-matters. We read:
Titus 2:3 Older women […] are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. (ESV01)
(Verse 5, "reviled" or "spoken evil of" – the Greek text has blasphêmêtai/blasphêmeô, just as in 1 Timothy 6:1.)
Again, and this is still regarding the last part of 1 Timothy 6:1 – if the disciples' marriage- and family-matters were not in a respectable state, that might have caused outsiders to speak evil of them. The same, regarding Titus 2:4–5.
A note: 1 Peter 2:18 which is similar to 1 Timothy 6:1–2 and Titus 2:4–5, is considered later in this article.
Here is one of the "traditional" kind of translations of that passage:
Titus 2:9 Bondmen are to be obedient to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not speaking contrary, 10 not pilfering, but demonstrating all good fidelity, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. (ACV)
The way that translation renders verse 9, makes it seem that Paul supported slavery or at least accepted it. How is it with that matter?
The Greek text of Titus 2:9–10 contains several words that are worth closer attention. Some of them (such as doulos and despotês) were discussed earlier. Right here, let us consider the verb nosphizomai which the above-quoted translation renders as "pilfering". This is for the reason that if Paul really meant "pilfering", then that verse could refer to slaves who steal from their masters. But, as will be shown below, the verb nosphizomai had many different uses and meanings.
First, let us note that the context shows that Paul was writing about the relationship between husbands and wives. Especially verses 4 and 5 make this clear.
Titus 2:2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. (ESV01)
So, what about verse 9? – Several things indicate that just as verses 4–5 refer to the marriage situation, so do even verses 9–10. Here is a suggested translation of them, with notes regarding certain things in the Greek text.
Titus 2:9 Let the "bound ones" [married women [a]] be submissive to their husbands, [b] agreeable in all things, not argumentative, 10 not separating [c] but showing all good faithfulness, so that they may in all things adorn the teaching of God our Saviour.
a Verse 9, "bound ones" = married women. – This with husbands and wives being joined together by the "marriage bond", and the different uses and meanings of the old Greek word doulos as well as related ones, was discussed earlier in this article.
b Verse 9, "husbands" – the Greek text has despotais, plural of despotês which, as was noted earlier, was often used of the "man of the house" (the husband), while the wife or "woman of the house" was called despotis or despoina (or kuria, while the husband was called kurios).
c Verse 10, "not separating" – Paul used the verb nosphizomai, in the phrase mê nosphizomeous. Above, that phrase was translated as "not separating", but it must be noted that Paul's meaning is not fully clear. It could also have been "not turning away" or "not being aloof", or something similar. The verb nosphizomai (nosphizô) and the adverb/preposition nosphi could refer to such things as "turning one's back on someone", "being aloof", "separating", "abandoning", and so on. Read on:
Many people, when they consider the Greek words of a given NT passage, use "biblical" Greek-English lexicons. It is important to understand such lexicons are limited and biased, and often severely misleading.
'A Homeric Dictionary' by Autenrieth defines the old Greek verb nosphizomai as "depart from", "hold aloof from", "abandon". We find similar definitions in 'Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon' by Liddell and Scott (Clarendon Press, 1889):
I. to turn one's back upon a person, to turn away, shrink back, Hom.
2. to turn away from a person, c. gen., Od.
3. c. acc. to forsake, abandon, Hom., Soph.
II. after Hom., in Act., attic fut. νοσφιῶ: aor1 ἐνόσφισα: — to set apart or aloof, to separate, remove, Eur.:—metaph., ν. τινὰ βίου to separate him from life, i. e. kill him, Soph.; so, ν. τινά alone, Aesch.
2. to deprive, rob, τινά τι one of a thing, Pind.; also, τινά τινος Aesch., Eur.
3. Mid. to put aside for oneself, to appropriate, purloin, Xen.:— ν. ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς to appropriate part of the price, NTest.
b. but the Mid. is also just like the Act., to deprive, rob, Eur.
(The related verbs aponosphizô and dianosphizô had similar meanings. Those and certain related words could refer to both "being aloof" and "abandoning", as well as to "embezzling" and similar. It is always the context that shows what is meant. – The words nosphi and aponosphi meant such things as "aloof", "apart", "afar", "away".)
The above-quoted lexicon-entries were included here, to make the point that it is quite clear that Titus 2:9–10 is not about "slaves who pilfer" as many translations make it seem. It appears that the apostle was talking about wives, noting that they should respect their husbands and not be "aloof" (or turn their backs on them, or separate). – Even the context shows that Paul was talking about wives and husbands, and not about slaves and slave owners. Again, we read:
Titus 2:2 that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience: 3 that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; 4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, [d] kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed [e] (ASV, note signs added)
d Verse 5, "workers at home" (house), Greek oikourgous as older texts have it. It appears that the apostle was simply saying that married women were to "run the house", instead of being luxury wives who did nothing except ordering their husbands around. – In those days, wives worked at home, taking care of the whole household. That meant a lot of planning and work. There were no household gadgets (machines) or ready-made products. Most things were made and produced manually, at home.
e "Blasphemed", Titus 2:5 – the Greek verb in question is blasphêmeô which simply meant "to speak evil of". Again, if the disciples did not keep their family-matters in a respectable state, that could have caused outsiders to speak evil of them.
Even in Ephesians 6, many translations have wordings which might cause casual bible-readers to think that Paul supported slavery.
In other words: Many bible-versions have in Ephesians 6:5 such wordings as "bondmen, be obedient to your masters according to flesh". Before going into other things in Ephesians 6, let us first consider what really is behind that translation in verse 5.
This has to do with the wording tois kuriois kata sarka in the Greek text. The part kata sarka means "according to the flesh", but here the question is, does the part tois kuriois refer to husbands, or to "lords" in the meaning "slave-owners"?
As was mentioned earlier, in old Greek the wife or "woman of the house" was called kuria, while the husband or "man of the house" was called kurios. – But, what did Paul mean by that mention of "husbands according to flesh" (tois kuriois kata sarka)?
The explanation is that a married woman who had received the Holy Spirit, had a "husband according to the flesh", but also a "husband according to the Spirit" (Jesus). This was because of the fact that when the disciples received the Holy Spirit, they became betrothed to Jesus, on the spiritual level – male or female, no difference, all of them together forming Jesus' Bride. And then: It is said that in those days, a betrothal was a binding covenant regarding marriage. In other words: The betrothal was the marriage contract. And so, for married women who had received the Holy Spirit, Jesus was their "husband according to the Spirit".
We cannot be fully certain of the exact meaning of each word in the Greek text of that passage, but here is a suggested translation of it:
Ephesians 6:5 Wives, [f] give ear to your husbands [g] according to flesh, [h] with "fear and trembling", [i] in singleness of your heart, as to the Messiah; 6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as the "bound ones" of the Messiah, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 serving with kindness; to the Lord and not to men, 8 each knowing that whatever good one does, that is what one shall receive from the Lord, whether "bound" or "free". 9 And husbands: [g] Do the same toward them, without threats, knowing that the Lord of you both is in Heaven, and that there is no respect of persons with him.
f Verse 5, "wives" – Greek douloi, literally "bound ones"; here taken to refer to the "marriage bond". (Cf. 1 Corinthians 7:15 and 27 which were discussed earlier.)
g Verses 5 and 9, "husbands" – Greek kurioi, here taken to refer to husbands. Again, in old Greek the "woman of the house" was called kuria and the man kurios. (Also in the last part of verse 9, "the Lord of you both", the Greek text has kurios.)
h "Husbands according to flesh" – this matter was explained above.
i Verse 5, "with fear and trembling", Greek meta phobou kai tromou. What was this? It is obvious that Paul did not mean that wives were to fear their husbands. Perhaps that rhyming Greek phrase which Paul used here as well in a few other passages, was in New Testament times an idiomatic expression of some kind, not to be interpreted literally. But, Paul taught that wives should respect their husbands. – Please note that the NT teaches that even husbands are to respect their spouses, and love them. This includes Ephesians 6:9, above translated as "and husbands: Do the same toward them, without threats". – It could also be that Paul referred to how Sarah acted when she "gave ear" to what her husband Abraham said. Even the apostle Peter mentioned Sarah in this kind of connection; the passage in question is quoted below.
Considering all of Paul's letters, and the context in Ephesians chapters 5 and 6, it appears that he was talking about the marriage situation, even in the case of Ephesians 6:5–9. This can be compared with what the apostle Peter wrote to certain saints:
1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands […] 4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, adorned with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great price. 5 For, in former times, the holy women also, who trusted in God, thus adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed [j] Abraham, calling him lord: and you are her children, if you do good, and fear no dismay. [k] 7 Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, bestowing honor on the wife as the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered. (AND, note signs added)
(1 Peter 2:18 is considered later in this article.)
j Verse 6, "obeyed" – the Greek text has hupakousen, hupakouô which meant "to listen", "give ear" and so on.
k Consider even all of verse 7 (above).
A note: The Lord set the roles of husbands and wives slightly differently. Why he did this is not fully clear, but let us assume that that had to do with symbolism in regard to the relationship between Jesus and the saints who formed his Bride, and perhaps more. – Today, some people might not feel at ease with those things, partly because of the (male chauvinist) way some churches have interpreted certain passages in that context, and partly because the present-day western society has "values" which are different from those of the saints, and different from what Jesus and the apostles taught.
In short, regarding Ephesians 6:5–9: It appears that the apostle Paul was talking about men and women who were joined together by the "marriage bond", and not about the bond of slavery.
There are also Colossians 3 and 4. The relevant passages in those chapters are basically about the matter which we find even in Paul's letter to the saints in Ephesus. A more careful study shows that also in Colossians 3 and 4, the context is that of family and marriage, and not slavery.
Just as Ephesians 6:5, even Colossians 3:22 mentions "husbands according to flesh" (sarka kuriois). Earlier in this study, it was noted that a married woman who had received the Holy Spirit, had a "husband according to the flesh" and also a "husband according to the Spirit", because the saints were betrothed to Jesus. (Again, it is said that in that in those days, a betrothal was the same as a marriage contract.)
There is no need to go into all the linguistic details in Colossians 3 and 4. Those chapters contain the same Greek words, or similar ones, as the passages that were discussed earlier, and, the context shows that Paul was talking about husbands and wives and families.
Even in the case of 1 Corinthians 7:21, the question is, was Paul talking about the marriage bond, or about the bond of slavery? – Let us check the wider context.
In verse 1, we find that the subject was marriage – whether or not to marry. Apparently, some saints in Corinth had written to Paul, expressing their view in regard to that matter. Paul replied to that, and told what his thoughts were. But, he also added that because of the saints' situation in those days, it would best if the unmarried ones could remain in that state. We read:
1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. […] 7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. 8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion. […] 25 Now concerning the betrothed, [l] I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. 26 I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is. 27 Are you bound [m] to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. (ESV01, note sign added)
l Verse 25: The above-quoted ESV01 has "betrothed", but the Greek text has parthenôn, "virgins", referring to unmarried women.
m Verse 27 (and also 39), "bound" – the Greek text has the verb deô (in the forms dedesai and dedetai). It is said that the verb deô, "to bind", was the basis for the adjective/noun doulos, "bound", "bound one". In verse 15, we find the verb douloô, "to be bound", likewise used of the marriage situation – "But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. A brother or a sister is not bound [douloô] in such cases."
Thus, when we in verse 20 find the words "let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called", it is quite obvious that even that refers to those saints' marriage status. (Verses 21 and 22 will be considered a bit later.)
What about verse 23? Many translators have put into it such words as "servants", "bondmen" or "slaves" – an example:
1 Corinthians 7:23 Ye were bought with a price, become not bondmen of men. 24 Brothers, each man, in what he was called, should remain in this before God. 25 Now concerning the virgins I have no commandment of Lord, but I give an opinion, as having obtained mercy from Lord to be trustworthy. 26 I suppose therefore this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be this way: 27 Are thou bound to a wife? Do not seek separation. Are thou free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. (ACV)
As you can see, the context is about marriage, whether or not to marry. Verse 25 mentions virgins. Verse 27, "Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek separation." – So, does verse 23 refer to the marriage bond, or to the bond of slavery? Here is the Greek wording, with phrase translations:
timês êgorasthête (with a price you were bought) mê ginesthe (do not become) douloi anthrôpôn (literally "bound ones of men", the actual meaning perhaps being "bound to men")
In short, regarding the word doulos/douloi in the Greek text of verse 23 – as we know, the saints were on the spiritual level "bound" to Jesus, through their betrothal to him. More:
It appears that the words "you were bought with a price", verse 23 and also 6:20, are an allusion to the old custom with "bride price". This was in regard to the saints' state of being (spiritually) betrothed to Jesus. They all together formed his Bride. Jesus had indeed paid a price – he gave his life for his Bride.
And so, here is a suggested translation of verses 20–21:
1 Corinthians 7:20 All should remain in the calling in which they were called. 21 Were you called when you were bound [married]? Do not make a problem out of that, and [even] if you would be able to become free, make instead use of it [of the marriage].
It is reasonable to assume that even here, Paul was talking about marriage status, just as in other parts of that chapter and in the last part of chapter 6. And so, he must have meant, "even if you could separate, make use of your marriage instead". Clarification: This was regarding saints who were married to unbelievers. The context shows that – we read:
1 Corinthians 7:13 And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. (NRSV, highlighting added)
More in chapter 7, here as the NKJV has it (even here, the apostle was talking about marital things):
1 Corinthians 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress—that it is good for a man to remain as he is: 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you. 29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none (NKJV)
Please note verse 27, the words "are you bound to a wife". – Again, the question is, when Paul wrote about "bound ones", verse 21 et cetera, was he talking about marriage status, or about slaves? In the wider context, Paul was talking about marriage. – Thus, a suggested translation:
1 Corinthians 7:21 Were you called when you were bound [married]? Do not make a problem out of that, and [even] if you would be able to become free, make instead use of it [the marriage]. 22 For, the one who was called in the Lord when bound [married], is the Lord's "freeman". And likewise, the one called "free" [unmarried], is bound to the Messiah. 23 You were bought with a price; do not become bound to men. 24 Brothers, in whatever state each one was called, let each remain in that, with God. 25 Now, regarding virgins, I have no command of the Lord. However, I give my advice as one who has received mercy from the Lord and is faithful. 26 Things being as they are, I think that because of the present distress it is good for a man to be this way: 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you without a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But, if you nevertheless marry, that is not a sin. And, if a virgin marries, she does not sin. But, that will lead to anguish, and I [want to] spare you [from that].
Again, the context is marriage. That is what that chapter talks about.
A note: In the case of 1 Peter 2:18 with its context, this matter is not quite as clear as in the earlier discussed passages in the apostle Paul's letters. But, consider the following.
In 1 Peter 2:18, many bible-versions have wordings which make it seem that the apostle Peter supported slavery or at least accepted it. As an example of that, here is how the NASB95 renders that verse:
1 Peter 2:18 Servants [n], be submissive to your masters [o] with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable. (NASB95, note signs added)
n "Masters" – the Greek text has despotais, plural of despotês whose literal meaning was "the man of the house", the husband. (And again, the wife or "woman of the house" was called despotis or despoina.)
o "Servants" – the Greek text has oiketai which was related to oikos, "house", and oikeô, "to dwell". Oiketai could be seen as the plural form of either oiketis or oiketês. The former meant "mistress of the house"; the latter referred to slaves. 'Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon' by Liddell and Scott (Clarendon Press, 1889) has this on the noun oiketis:
I. fem. of οἰκέτης, Eur.
II. the mistress of the house, Lat. matrona, Theocr.
In short: It may be that the word oiketai in the Greek text of 1 Peter 2:18 is the plural form of oiketis in the meaning "the mistress of the house" (the despotis or kuria). – If so, then the meaning of the first part of that verse is "wives, be submissive to your husbands". And if so, then Peter's point was that wives should be submissive, even in the case that the husband is not the best or wisest man on Earth. – Here, it is important to keep in mind that Peter also taught that husbands are to lovingly honour their wives and care for them, and be kind and courteous.
In chapter 3, we read:
1 Peter 3:1 […] wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, 2 as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. 3 Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; 4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; 6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear. 7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. (NASB95)
So, how is it – was Peter continuing to discuss the same matter? That is, do both 1 Peter 2:18 and 1 Peter 3:1 refer to wives? It appears that it is so.
Concerning the New Testament passages (translations) where some have found "support for slavery": A closer analysis of the passages in question, including the Greek text, indicates that the apostles Paul and Peter did not uphold or support slavery, or even refer to it, but wrote about marriage-related matters.
Please note that this was not a study on the role of women. The question of what role women had in the saints' fellowships, and especially in relation to their husbands, is something for a separate study. And then, it is yet another question what bearing the saints' customs and practices in that regard (we know very little about them) might eventually have on things in our present-day society and culture.

Rogers senior Mitchell Crossen lunged into the touchpad to finish the fourth heat of the 50-yard freestyle at the Class 4A boys swimming and diving state championships on Friday at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.
Feeling strong about the finish, he sprang backward six feet into open water, looked up for his time, and saw nothing.
"I was kind of like, 'Wait, what happened?' " Crossen said.
Technical difficulties with the scoreboard — or maybe Crossen just broke it.
His official time in the preliminary race posted more than half an hour later— a speedy 21.41 seconds — awarding him the No. 2 seed in Saturday's final. Crossen was 0.08 seconds off Kamiak's Eben Schumann who took first. All eight swimmers in the championship heat are separated by less than a second.
"The 50 is a crapshoot," Crossen said. "Anybody from the whole heat could win, but I'm ready."
Ready and confident described Crossen's afternoon. He glided to a No. 1 seed in the 100 freestyle at 46.44, shaving 0.77 seconds off his qualifying time.
"To go in seeded first is a hard place to be," Rogers coach Stefani Fersch said. "It's easier to come from behind than hold your own with most kids. But with him, he'll be fine."
Crossen finished sixth in the 100 at state last year, and eighth his sophomore year. Fersch said his rapid development was, more than anything, a decision driven by his sudden hunger for the sport between his freshman and sophomore seasons.
"He just started dropping time," she said. "He never wavered; he never had second thoughts, or doubts, or anything."
What Crossen wants to do Saturday is go "out with a bang."
"I realized I could take this far, as far as I want to, and it brought me here, and it's a great spot to be in," he said.
With less than 24 hours between him and two possible state titles, Crossen said he will focus on relaxing, staying loose, and visualizing his final races as a high school swimmer.
"I told him to savor every single minute of it," Fersch said. "The work he's done to get here is unbelievable, so to have fun and enjoy his time."
Championship heat qualifications were sparse for the rest of the 4A West Central District, with Curtis and Gig Harbor advancing the most swimmers. Both advanced in the 200-yard freestyle relay — Gig Harbor at No. 5, Curtis at No. 6 — and the 400-yard freestyle relay with Curtis at No. 7 and Gig Harbor at No. 8.
Curtis and Gig Harbor will race against Newport, Issaquah, Kamiak and Moses Lake in both events Saturday; the latter four are all contenders to reach the podium in the team competition. Newport is the defending state champion. Bellevue is primed to win the Class 3A competition with 18 swimmers qualifying for championship heats, and first place finishes in all three relays, and Archbishop Murphy will be tested by Sehome in its attempt to win a third consecutive Class 2A title.
Steilacoom junior James Scott qualified with the No. 5 seed in the 50-yard freestyle at 22.22, and finished with the No. 1 seed in the 100 breast at 58.68. Scott is the defending state champion in the event.
"I'm just looking for the win, having fun," he said. "Trying to help the team get as far as it can."
Steilacoom snuck into the 400-yard freestyle relay with the No. 8 seed, and placed fourth in the 200-yard freestyle relay at 1:32.25.

Why this matters: Since Microsoft hopes to see HoloLens as a productivity tool it helps to have key apps like email and calendar inside the device. "For developers, Windows Holographic apps can be written today with confidence that they will run on the broadest set of devices". Sure, there are gaming apps like Minecraft and RoboRaid, but it's the practical apps that really get me excited like those recently announced by Microsoft's Outlook team. Microsoft revealed in its BUILD 2016 conference last month Office apps working in its mixed reality environment.
Microsoft's HoloLens concept is exciting in theory, but it's not quite accessible to the masses yet.
And, when you need to see what's coming up next in your day, just glance over to your new, virtual wall calendar.
The Mail app will let you project your inbox on your office wall if you're so inclined.
Outlook and Calendar join several other Microsoft apps now available in preview versions on the development version of the HoloLens platform, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
The Windows Everywhere ideal has a renewed significance with Windows 10 and chief executive officer Satya Nadella's promise that Windows 10 will have one billion users within the first three years of its availability.
Reporting on Microsoft's vision to make the Windows Holographic platform popular, Engadget states the company is planning to allow others to create gear for it. This gear, according to Microsoft, could also include a VR headset similar to the HoloLens which the company is now in the process of shipping to developers.
Tech giant Microsoft aims to establish its holographic technology as the go-to operating system for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) devices. Thus, Outlook Mail on HoloLens becomes the first email experience available in mixed reality.
If you are one of the lucky few who already purchased the $3,000 developer kit from Microsoft, the apps are yours for the picking.

Verify that you are human, choose: Monitor
We used this flooring for our entry into the Maricopa County Home Show Kitchen Competition and we loved it. Everybody said it looked great and we even passed on a few referrals for you guys. We installed it with the double sided tape method and it was quick and easy. If you need an architect, live in the Phoenix area, and like our design, please feel free to learn more about us at www.studiokz.com.
I needed one more box for installation project later this year. I found what looked like a match on flooringinc.com to what I had on hand. Ordered samples to verify match and received them within a week. One sample was a perfect match to flooring I had on hand (flooring I got free from a friend). I received my order in one week. Was a little worried about condition the flooring might arrive in--product is bendable and very heavy. The original box had seen better days, but shipper had packaged it very well--stiff cardboard reinforcement on all corners and lots of bubble wrap on each end. I examined each piece of flooring and everything was in perfect condition and correct number of planks were in the box.
Pulled out the Control 24 from my desk and did some renovation. Put a new desktop down and covered it in the wood planks and love it. It looks really nice and was pretty easy to put down with some pressure sensitive glue. I even had some leftover..
This is update to my earlier review where I had ordered flooring (received in good condition) and was waiting to install. I had the flooring professionally installed and it looks great. Though I had to wait 48 hours for glue to fully cure, I like the fact that's it's glue down--no popping sounds, feels very solid underfoot. Installers said it would be easy to replace a damaged plank in future if I need to. And this is just a great color (Seattle)--it's a cool tone brown with grayish wash. It looks very contemporary.

Keep looking, I'm sure you can find something American made but may have to pay a few bucks more. I try to avoid all things made in China. Got to buy American made if we're going to survive.

I have a Masterbuilt just like you pictured. Works fine. I used to use a charcoal, side box type rig too. Too much babysitting for me. I like to get this one to temp, put water soaked chips in until it won't take any more. When it just starts smoking put the meat on. Thirty min or so later, cram it full of chips again, set timer, and leave it. Don't wrap meat, don't baste, nothing. Puts a good bark on too, which surprised me. I really like it.

Father's relative: Abigail Hernandez's dad 'heartbroken' over disappearance of his daughterBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
November 05. 2013 5:43PM
CONWAY — David Velasquez says that though Abigail Hernandez's father, Ruben Hernandez, has only lived part time in New Hampshire, he is as close to Abigail as Abigail's mother is.
Ruben Hernandez is an architect who spends half his time at a home in New Hampshire and half his time in his native state of Texas, according to Velasquez, of Houston, who is Ruben Hernandez's nephew.
Hernandez, the father of the 15-year-old Kennett High School freshman who has been missing since she disappeared after leaving school on Oct. 9, is extremely upset at the fact that she cannot be found.
"Abby and Sarah (Abigail's older sister) were maybe even closer to (Ruben Hernandez) than she was to her mother (Zenya Hernandez of North Conway),"said Velasquez.
"My uncle is so heartbroken right now; there's no way he can talk about it; he wouldn't be able to talk about it yet," Velasquez said on Tuesday.
Velasquez said he and Ruben Hernandez, who are devout Christians, "pray about this every day."
"Everyone on this side of the family is devastated, too," he said.
He said Ruben Hernandez has family with homes in Sugarland, Texas, and Houston. He said Abigail and her sister visited their father in Texas as recently as last Christmas.
He said she had been in touch with him since then, but he was unsure when.
1,000 tips to FBI
Investigators say they still have no firm direction to follow in the case, but state and federal law enforcement officials are still performing "targeted" investigations based on tips they have received, which now number more than 1,000.
He said Abigail is a "wonderful, sweet girl" who has an especially close relationship with her father.
And he agreed with previous statements by Zenya Hernandez about the unlikely possibility that she ran away.
"People watching from outside may say this is a runaway; this is not a runaway, no way," he said.

Smashing Pumpkins
Gish (180g) Vinyl LP
↳ debut from Billy Corgan & co., produced by 'Nevermind' producer
Originally released in 1991, Gish is the debut LP from Chicago's Smashing Pumpkins. '91 saw the release of another monumental grunge album, Nirvana's Nevermind, and Butch Vig, drummer and co-producer of Garbage, worked as a producer for both of the releases. And although the former did not contain a song that could match "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or other singles Nevermind that have forever been etched onto our psyche, Gish, explained by Billy Corgan as being about "pain and spiritual ascension," has a firm standing in the history of alternative rock as one of the genre-defining albums that emerged from the '90s. Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness would follow a few years later to thrust Corgan, Iha, Chamberlin, and Wretzky to international stardom, but the psych/'70s rock/shoegaze influence the gang would go on to embody to create their distinct sound are all present in Gish. Check out: "I Am One," "Siva," "Rhinoceros," "Crush," "Daydream," and "Bury Me."

Questions & AnswersAsk a Question
Hi, just wondering if the 'Smashing Pumpkins' ' Gish' LP is a RSD release or is it another press of the remastered version? Also wondering if the front cover is still the same or if there are difference please? I have a huge collection of 'Billy Corgan's' material and the photo shown above show's the cover being totally different to the remastered version. Kindest Regards Jamie
This is NOT a RSD release. This has similar specs to 2011 Virgin pressing, which is generally considered better than the Caroline version. The cover is as pictured, metallic ink + gatefold sleeve. It is different than that original Caroline pressing.

Ever since the NFL season started, there's been constant discussion about the decision of certain players not to stand during the national anthem and presentation of the flag before games. This talk reached a fever pitch last week after President Trump, during an Alabama rally, referred to the players who refuse to stand as "son[s] of bitch[es]." Detractors of the president and supporters of the players protesting the anthem are attempting to frame national discourse over the issue as a matter of the First Amendment. They, of course, are correct, but perhaps not in the way they might expect.
First Amendment
All posts tagged First Amendment
Earlier this month, civil liberties advocate and journalist Glenn Greenwald (along with Ryan Grimm of The Intercept) wrote an article warning about a bill before Congress with potentially dire consequences for free speech. If passed, the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, S.720, would make it illegal for Americans to engage in organized boycotts against the state of Israel. Participation in such activity could lead to a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. Unfortunately, the bill is very likely to pass. Continue Reading
In America, free speech is a sacred right. That is, until it threatens corporate interests. We've seen the scenario repeated. Someone says something offensive. Interest groups become aware and threaten sponsors of the speaker's platform with boycott. Sponsors relent to protect their corporate image, and, ultimately, the speaker loses the platform.

Since I published "Fake News" three months ago, the meaning of that particular phrase has changed. It has morphed from a tool of the corporate media to silence citizen journalists into a weapon of the Trump administration to attack the corporate media. Whereas the former had the effect of chilling the free speech of everyday citizens, the latter takes the corporate elites down a peg and empowers everyday citizens. Continue Reading
Donald Trump's election as President was, in part, a reaction to PC culture; a culture which regards the utterance of certain speech as worse than the offense of violent crimes. Unfortunately, the election of Trump has not eliminated this culture. Instead, it has evolved. Some of those who spoke out against PC culture before Trump's election now enforce their own version of it. Take a look at a couple recent examples: Continue Reading
Every time I read the news, I hear about so-called "fake news." "Fake news" spread Russian propaganda. "Fake news" invented Clinton scandals. "Fake news" elected Donald Trump. "Fake news" has destroyed American democracy. And now, the mere mention of a "fake news" story could cause the loss of life.
Hysteria over "fake news" reached a fever pitch with the election of Donald Trump. The mainstream media had repeatedly declared there was no way Trump could win. Continue Reading
Earlier this month, a new threat to liberty emerged as originalist Justice Antonin Scalia died in Texas, vacating his seat on the Supreme Court. On that day, the stakes of the 2016 presidential election grew exponentially. Now, whoever gets elected will either maintain the status quo in the Court or create a new, more dangerous majority.

"Americans, whatever their thinking on [same-sex marriage], should worry about what the [Obergefell] majority's claim of power portends."
–Justice Alito dissenting in Obergefell v. Hodges
Obergefell v. Hodges, which struck State prohibitions on same-sex marriage, establishes a troubling precedent for democratic institutions and limited government. Through the "reasoned judgment" of five of its nine justices, the Supreme Court bypassed traditional democratic means to establish the issuance of public benefits for same-sex marriages as a fundamental right under Fourteenth Amendment substantive due process. Though many libertarians now celebrate the decision, a careful reading should temper any jubilation. This decision promotes the Cult of the Court, which may now work to restrict rights and actually expand government. Continue Reading
While recent media coverage of the Supreme Court's conclusion of its 2013 term centered on the Hobby Lobby religious freedom decision, the most meaningful First Amendment case has received much less mention. Though underexposed, the rejection of Massachusetts's restriction on abortion clinic protest in McCullen v. Coakley is perhaps this term's single greatest contribution to the reaffirmation of freedom in the United States.
Whereas Hobby Lobby upheld the religious freedom of corporations in rejecting enforcement of a single Obamacare provision, the McCullen decision reestablished the right of every natural person to express actual views. Continue Reading

At Cottonwood Dental Group we are proud of the ways in which dentistry can restore broken or decayed teeth, to their full beauty and function. One of our easiest and least expensive ways of doing so is with dental bonding.
Bonding uses tooth-colored materials to replace tooth structure or hide cosmetically unappealing minor defects in a tooth – chips, discoloration, and even minor spacing irregularities. Bonding materials are called "composite resins" because they contain a mixture of plastic and glass, which adds strength and translucency. The composite actually bonds, or becomes one, with the rest of the tooth.
Though Bonding will not last as long as a dental veneer, it also does not require the involvement of a dental laboratory, and can be done without drilling the tooth. It's a great solution for teens, who often need to wait until their teeth have finished maturing before choosing a more permanent type of dental restoration. Call Us with your questions or to set up an appointment.
Don't put a hold on your life! Express your wants and needs and gain the confident smile you have always wanted. Call Dr. DeLapp or Dr. Parsons, expert cosmetic dentists in Highlands Ranch, CO!
''Appointments are actually painless regardless of what I need done. For the first time in my life I actually look forward to my dental appointments.

Timonium expects $30k sale average
To find a juvenile sale with a colt by the nation's leading sire, horses from major Kentucky nurseries, and a history of producing an Eclipse Award winner, you once had to travel to Kentucky or Florida. But that's no longer true.
"If you haven't looked at a Timonium 2-year-old sale in the past 10 years, you're looking at an entirely different book," said Fasig-Tipton Midlantic's executive vice-president, Mason Grasty.
Flipping through the catalog for this year's Fasig-Tipton Midlantic juvenile sale, to be held on May 20 and 21 starting at 10 a.m. at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, uncovers page after page of impressive individuals, many by leading sires from across the country.
Grasty said he is "cautiously optimistic" that the numbers at this sale will maintain the trend of recent years, in which the average has held steady at more than $30,000. Caution is based on the fact that 2-year-old sales across the nation this year have been strong at the top but soft for middle-market individuals.
Driving the optimism is the history of the Timonium sale, and its reputation as a place to find good individuals at reasonable prices.
The most famous alumna in recent years is Eclipse Award-winning filly Xtra Heat, purchased by trainer John Salzman for Ken Taylor, Harry Deitchman, and himself for $5,000. Xtra Heat has won more than $1.6 million.
Among others to come out of the sale in the past decade are Fly for Avie, winner of the Grade 1 E.P. Taylor Stakes who was sold for $14,000; stakes winner and graded stakes-placed Mandy's Gold who was sold for $87,000; and eye-catching
3-year-old Saratoga Blues, winner of the Whirlaway Stakes in New York this past winter who was sold for $30,000.
The most exciting page in the current catalog is Hip No. 326, from the consignment of Eisaman Equine. The colt, by Storm Cat out of the graded stakes-winning mare Shannkara (Ire) and bred by H.H. Aga Khan, ran a bullet work over the Timonium surface on Thursday of 21.60 seconds, two seconds quicker than the next fastest work.
"He lives up to his sire's reputation," Grasty said.
A dark bay, this colt failed to meet his reserve twice after going through last year's Keeneland September sale and the Fasig-Tipton Florida sale in February. But, Barry Eisaman said, the son of Storm Cat, a late April foal, has "really grown in the last 60 days."
The Eisaman consignment has 12 horses, which Eisaman said "has a lot of quality for this late in the season."
Another of the consignment's individuals who will probably attract attention is Hip No. 345, a son of Gone West out of graded stakes winner Small Virtue.
"He is a big, good-looking chestnut colt who shows a lot of two-turn quality," Eisaman said.
The Kirkwood Stables consignment offers 14 horses, including five from Claiborne Farm, the first time the famed Kentucky nursery has sent horses to the Maryland sale. A colt from the first crop of Tale of the Cat out of the winning Alleged mare Adalene, a half-sister to graded stakes winner Forest Camp, is one of the Claiborne five. According to Kirkwood assistant trainer Vernon Greaves, another nice individual from Kirkwood is Hip No. 75, a daughter of Sultry Song.
The only 2-year-old of the 520 juveniles in the catalog to have started in a race is Pre-K Training Center, Inc., agent's Hip No. 226, a son of Citidancer, who won a maiden special weight at Turfway Park on April 3. He is out of the Apalachee mare My Protege.
Of the 57 Maryland-breds listed in the sale, more than a third are out of stakes-winning or stakes-producing mares, including half-brothers or sisters to Mz. Zill Bear (a $740,423-earner), Ogle, Five Star Deputy, My Problem, Julie's Brilliance, Chez Allie, Vice on Ice, Chancellor M. H., Lite Twilight, Global Gait, Top Punch, War Native, and Ski Pro.
Also offered is a Maryland-bred daughter of Two Punch out of a half-sister to Two Punch's Eclipse Award-winning son, Smoke Glacken.
The under tack shows begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday and Friday.

If It's Sunday. . .
August 21, 2016
. . . then it must be the 7 Mile House, and time for a Doghouse Jam. But which Sunday is it? "I Didn't Know What Day It Was," Andrew Speight and his crew admit musically. Well, these weeks go by so quickly, why don't we just take a couple of 'em, as my spoonerizing old friend Robert Heilbuth used to quip, in one swell foop. If it's August 21st, then Mike Apicelli has just returned from my (not his) home state of Maine. The Jam's own original home was Mike's former saloon, the Dogpatch, and as Mike is reminded, Ben Stolorow always knows what microsecond it is, or should be, Michael Zisman always puts the 'Happy' in 'Happy Hour', even on a Sunday, and Vince Lateano is the pulse which gave rise to time in the first place. For a trip through both time and space, Andrew takes us "Back Home Again In Indiana", even though none of are from there and none of us were even a glint in our granddad's eye in 1917. To help us on our way, Andrew wields a wee "Shave and a haircut/Two bits". Then he brings up guest trumpet Dave Bendigkeit for "I Concentrate On You", with the horn focusing on pretty bling, making it glitter and gleam so. You've heard these cats serve up "Tin Tin Deo" as a regular, but this time ti feels like it's melting in the Rio sunshine, while they relax over cocktails with the bikinied Beach Volleyball competitors. Vince's simulated timbales might get him entrance to Cuba (relatively) Libre. "What Is This Thing Called Love?" For Mike A, it's his first time hearing Andrew put aside his alto and sing tenor. Never did that at Dogpatch, as far as we recall. Ben's quote from "Habanera" might be a call-back to the previous tune, if you're following my and his eclecticism. And Dave and Andrew exchanging vocals? That's an argument for a new Olympic category: Team Scatting.
After a break, we find ourselves in August 28th, with an abundance of guest jammers and a menagerie of noisy natives involved in various rituals.
"It Wouldn't Be Make-Believe", and in fact it's so real, so far beyond the penny arcade, you ought to be filling that tip bucket with inflated tips. Guitarist Tom Linder, a Doghouse regular with his spouse Nina Goldfeather, may be channeling some Les Paul. These guys are great, and if you think you have to make-believe, then you ain't Ben Stolorow, and you ain't really happy. Jimmy Gallagher, one of several real drummers, is a power source, his snares thoroughly drilled. Lilian Wu, sporting her blue-and-gold Warriors t-shirt, comes off the bench and up to the drum set for "Triste", sunnyfying a soulful stroll to Ipanema, while Moko Funaki whispers a hookahful of dusky wisdom on bass, and Ben and Tom take a toke of "Smoke On the Water", right in the middle of the Jobim bossa. "Have You Met Miss Jones?" Apparently Andrew has, or somebody like that, and she's taught him to get in and out of tight arrangements. The musically ubiquitous Ben deploys a few Steve Reichian repeated patterns, perhaps in tribute to that composer's impending 80th birthday. And speaking of the San Francisco Symphony, ex-second-chair bassist Larry Epstein steps up for "Dolphin Dance", bringing wonderfully full foundations and fills. Andrew's scat has become a crowd-pleaser, and he's prepared to send them home happy with the advisory, "Let's Fall In Love". Michael Zisman finishes the evening on bass, generating sunbeams with which he and Andrew can enlighten their students at San Francisco State; the semester is upon us again, folks.

SC 00 Tabletops
The SC 00 tabletops are handcrafted solid wood tabletops. The tabletops in solid wood are available in about 2.5 cm and about 4 cm. Tabletops are always made with stabilizing steel bars. For long tabletops clamping systems can be worked in on request.
This variant of the SC 00 tabletop is made out of HPL. HPL panels must always be supported with a crossbar to avoid sagging. Bars can be ordered if desired. If racks with a supporting substructure are available, the bar can be dispensed with. The transverse axis of HPL plates does not have to be stabilized. With the SC 45 trestles, the trestles must be positioned for balance or a bar must be used to establish equilibrium.

An anesthesiologist jumps to his death at a New York medical center, setting off another round of discussion about mental illness among medical practitioners.
The suicide of a New York City physician Friday illustrates the breadth and severity of mental illness among clinicians.
Gabriel Goodwin, MD, an anesthesiologist, killed himself by jumping from the roof of a parking garage at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. The doctor was 35, according to the New York Post.
Law enforcement found evidence that he had tried to purchase a gun that day, but said they had uncovered nothing to indicate any intention to harm others.
Last month at another Bronx hospital, Henry Bello, MD, shot seven people, one fatally, before killing himself with his weapon.
- Rates of depression or depressive symptoms among the medical profession surpass rates in the general population. They are estimated to be around 30% among resident physicians.
- Goodwin's widow told the New York Daily News: "My husband was a good soul suffering from severe depression."
- "We don't know whether [rates of depression are] increasing or decreasing, but anecdotally it's not going away," says Michael F. Myers, MD, a professor of clinical psychiatry at SUNY-Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY.
- Myers cites untreated mental illness as a factor in physician suicide. "For 10% to 15% of the families I interview, their departed loved one had not received any help at all," he says.
- Physicians are often reluctant to disclose whether they have been treated for mental health issues, which is a standard question on medical licensing applications.
- Addressing, via leadership initiatives, the culture of medicine that contributes to clinician burnout may bring some relief.
Gabriel Goodwin had two daughters and a son, according to the NY Daily News. The oldest was eight years old.

How can you get your voice moving early in the morning? Read our run-down of the best vocal warm-ups that work wonders in the morning – or any time of day for matter.
Coming from a classical singing background and years of 7 a.m. choir rehearsals, I find it really helps if you are up at least one hour before you are expected to perform.
If you've ever had a recording session early in the morning (many of you who are on-air talent will identify with this), you've really got to warm up those pipes to sound professional and alert. If you're awake 60 minutes before you hit the mic, you'll be alert (hopefully!) and also may have already spoken to someone, using your voice a wee bit to prepare for your warm up. During that interval, you may have possibly eaten breakfast, had a drink, showered, and dressed for the day.
Waking up earlier for an 'early' session does more than stabilize your vocal folds, it gets you in form mentally as well. OK, so that's getting up an hour before. How about these ones? Have you ever tried humming? A loose, gentle modulating hum is a nice way to ease in your facial muscles as well as create space for resonant sound. It gets your resonators going which in turn will help restore your vocal tone quality after sleeping for several hours. One of the favorites at the Don Wright Faculty of Music was The Hum closely followed by lip trills.
On one occasion, a classmate of mine had to run from her residence at the main gates on Richmond Street over the bridge at UWO (if you're from London, you know what I'm talking about) doing lip trills in the dead of winter as she scrambled to get to her lesson in the Music Building near Talbot College. She sounded great! Now, that's a feat. Also, another good trick to open up the passages is to descend on a nasal consonant sound. If you are a fan or student of IPA (the International Phonetic Alphabet), you know that there are a number of ways you can warm up your sinuses and nasal passages.
Take the English word onion for example. It's quite nasal, particularly the second syllable. The gn sound, as in the Italian gnocchi is precisely what I'm thinking about.
Take that 'gn' sound and lovingly stretch it, slide it, and descend glissando style. Go from the fifth down to the root of a scale on that with an 'ah' sound. Another fave is anything that ends in a Z, like buzz or fuzz. Linger on the Z to get resonating as well.
If there was an audio component here in this post, I'd demonstrate, but that's for another day 🙂 Back to some more ideas.
Articulate, articulate, articulate. In your business, this is one of the most important aspects of your performance. If you don't articulate or enunciate clearly, no one is going to understand a word of what you are saying. Here are five tongue twisters that are old hat for some but may be new to your repertory:
1. Unique New York, Unique New York, Unique New York…. (repeat and speed up as necessary)
2. A big black bug bit a big black bear
3. She sells sea shells by the sea shore
4. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
5. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
One trick to see if your diction is clear is to ask someone who doesn't know you to listen to you speak. If they have trouble deciphering your message, it's time to go back to the drawing board and really start spitting out those consonants. Well, that may be good for resonators and articulators, but what about range? Yawning is a good thing. Yawning naturally drops your jaw and regulates oxygen while extending your soft palate. With more oxygen flowing up to your brain, you'll also find that you are more alert. Yawning is one of those involuntary responses produced by your autonomic nerve system.
Have you ever heard of the 'yawn-sigh'?
You open your mouth as if to yawn and slide all the way down from the top of your vocal range to the lowest grumble you can muster. You'll know when you bottom out. Only do this a few times tops per warm up and never start with this one – leave it until the end when you have already exercised your voice. Now, those are just a number of things you can do to get going with your voice. It may go without saying, but a good sleep the night before, about eight hours if you can swing it, and a well conditioned, lubricated voice is the best preparation for warming up at the crack of dawn.
If you're a multi-tasker, you could probably fit your warm ups into your morning shower routine. The acoustics will be great and warm water is also a plus.
Just so that we're all aware, these warm ups are not solely reserved for early risers but for any vocal activity at any time. Do you have any warm ups to add? What works for you?
Disclaimer: The sillier you sound and the better a warm up makes you feel, the more elastic, agile and comfortable your voice will become. Have fun with it!

A group of beauty bloggers and i were invited to Laneige's BB Cushion Party at My Art Space last week. Super stoked cos' i could catchup with all my fabulous friends and was really curious to know what Laneige had installed for us that day :)
Be prepared for tons of photos and things pretty, enjoy!
We arrived at 7 in the evening at My Art Space located at Istana Park and were greeted by our lovely marketing ladies from Laneige and a buffet of delightful snacks. I literally had my mouth stuffed with food cos i was mad hungry and stressed out while driving to Dhoby Ghaut! Traffic was insane and i got lost, thanks to GoogleMaps :)
After we helped ourselves to the sumptuous buffet, everyone settled in for the lovely presentation the marketing dept put together that evening.
Today's exclusive launch was to celebrate Laneige's new BB Cushion shade and their DIY Kit which includes an assortment of crystals and embellishments, stickers, gel adhesive and tools to get you started on beautifying your own BB Cushion :) A special collaboration with Sephora SG hitting the stores on 11 September 2013 (more on this on my next entry +giveaways).
In this session, Laneige's Head of Makeup, Tina, also gave us a makeup demonstration of their latest Artplay Liners and Lip colours!
Shan Shan in Laneige's BB Cushion in Shade 21, Artplay Eyeliner in No. 4 (Turquoise Blue & Navy Unlimited) and their Silk Intense Lipstick in "Clubbing". The result was an electrifying look that was captivating and fashion forward.
After the demo, the awesome marketing team installed a really special activity for all of us girls!
We were gonna paint! I was excited and terrified at the same time! It's been a decade since i last painted!
Our challenge was to create a canvas inspired by the BB Cushion and it's 5 Multi-Benefits:-
- Soothing Effect
- Brightening
- Swearproof
- Skintone Correction
Haha Alene was trying so hard to stand tall! She was hilarious.
Anna starting on her masterpiece :)
And mine, halfway through..
Btw, don't laugh but i was really lost and petrified in the beginning and needed some guidance. I wanted to paint a face so i looked up to one of my favourite painters, Audrey Kawasaki and this was my inspiration for the facce. HAHAHA what a far fetch huh.
Anyway i did my best, at least this beauty gave me some direction for my piece. I added the flower to represent the shape and essence of the BB Cushion which was an obligatory criteria for the challenge!
And.. VOILA! What do you think? >.<
Most of us took the entire 2 hours to complete our work, but it was all worth it! Initially i was feeling very apprehensive but i eventually came into my own and the rest of the session felt therapeutic and enjoyable. Chatting and sussing out friendly competition in between heheh.
Everyone produced amazing paintings and Anna was our winner for the BB Cushion Painting Challenge that evening and walked away with 3 exclusive Christmas Sets worth $200! Congrats to my lovely friend and talented artist!
The girls striking a few cutesy poses haha
Alinda and I. She has one of the BEST complexions i've ever seen for a Singaporean. So fair and so pristine! So jealous!!
And a couple of groupshots before we wrapped up the night!
We had so much fun, i swear we were all so reluctant to leave.. :(
Thank you Laneige SG for having me and preparing such a beautiful and meaningful session for us all! I'll be sure to visit My Art Space the next time i feeling like picking up a paint brush. :)
On my next post, i will be doing a Make-up look with the amazing new products i received from Laneige and show you my BB Cushion all blinged up! You may have an idea of how it looks like if you've been following me on my Instagram!
I will also be doing my first giveaway so check back on this space on Saturday (7/09/13) and find out how you can win some of these goodies! :)
Till then, have a great week and be happy!

China lodged an official protest with the United States today over new USA sanctions on Iran that target a Chinese business tied to Tehran's ballistic missile programme.
U.S. -Iran relations have become more hostile than ever as the White House takes an aggressive posture toward Tehran over test-firing a ballistic missile that could raise tensions in the already chaotic region. The agreement involved the USA, the United Kingdom, the EU, Russia, China and Germany. But Washington must issue periodic waivers to keep the penalties from snapping back into place, and the most recent one was set to expire this week.
Trump as a candidate vowed to renegotiate or tear up the nuclear deal.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Thursday denounced the new series of sanctions imposed by the US on its ballistic missile programme, calling them illegal and unacceptable.
Wednesday's sanctions target Iranian military officials along with an Iranian company and China-based network accused of supplying Iran with materials for ballistic missiles, the State Department said.
The US administration is re-evaluating its relationship with Iran, including whether to remain a party to the nuclear deal.
Richard Nephew, a former U.S. negotiator with Iran now at Columbia University, called the renewal an "important step" in maintaining the deal but said it was still threatened by "congressional pressure, Republican politics, and the views of many people" in the Trump administration.More news: Immigration authorities cut Cuban Marielito's release short
Mr Trump has consistently warned Iran over its missile activity, and has criticised the terms of the deal made by Mr Obama - at one point claiming his "number one priority" if elected would be "to dismantle the disastrous deal".But the other nations involved in the agreement - including China, Russia, and the United Kingdom - believe it is the best way to prevent Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That was a relief to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who made the 2015 nuclear deal the centerpiece of his efforts to end Iran's isolation and rebuild its economy with foreign investment. It also has clinched bigger deals with trans-Atlantic rivals Airbus and Boeing.
The Iranian government and some Iranian citizens have been disappointed that US, EU and United Nations sanctions relief provided so far under the nuclear deal has failed to spark an economic renaissance.
Jones' remarks accompanied the State Department's semi-annual report to Congress on sanctions targeting Iran's human rights abuses.
Raisi has sought to portray the nuclear deal as an empty promise perpetrated by Iran's adversaries, calling it "a check the government has been unable to cash". He is a conservative cleric backed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the paramilitary Basij, security forces that wield sizable political and economic clout. He is seen by many as close to Mr Khamenei and has even been talked about as a possible successor to him. In a matter of a couple of months, Iran could have a workable bomb.
In retaliation for the new USA sanctions, Iran said it had added nine American individuals and companies to its own list of 15 US companies for alleged human rights violations and cooperation with Israel, its archenemy. The dual track sanctions policy shows that the major review of U.S. Iranian policy ordered by the president is not complete, and for the foreseeable future, Iran will continue to enjoy the economic benefits of sanctions relief.
"The deal won't go anywhere next week", said Suzanne Maloney, an Iran analyst at the Brookings Institution.

|Mothra vs. Bagan
|Production Information
|Planned for
|Replaced by
Mothra vs. Bagan (モスラVSバガン?) is an unmade 1990 Mothra film.
Mothra vs. Bagan was proposed in 1990 by Tomoyuki Tanaka. It would have been Mothra's first film since Destroy All Monsters and would have introduced the monster Bagan, who had previously appeared (in a vastly different form) in the scrapped first draft of The Return of Godzilla. The film would have, on an interesting note, included the character of Miki Saegusa (who had appeared only in Godzilla vs. Biollante at that point). Due to the poor box office performance of Godzilla vs. Biollante and also to the unlikely success of the film overseas, the film was cancelled.
2,000 years ago, a giant monster named Bagan protected ancient China. The kaiju rose to destroy threats to the Earth. Because of this, Bagan was simply referred to as a yamato, or living god of the forest. However, as time passed, he grew hostile and began ravaging the forests, striking fear and terror into the inhabitants. Although the ancient people of China were able to dispell the creature, ancient Chinese legends that were passed down throughout the ages claimed that the "primordial dragon" would rise to defend the planet again.
In the present day of 1990, the glacier containing Bagan melts away from overexposure to rising global temperatures, and the monster sets its sights of destroying humanity, now Earth's greatest threat. However, standing in Bagan's way is Mothra, a giant guardian moth left behind 12,000 years ago by an ancient civilization to defend humanity. Mothra confronts Bagan in Singapore, but is soon overwhelmed by her age. Some distance away, in Borneo, a gigantic egg begins to stir, and it soon hatches an infant Mothra, which crawls out and leaves to go help its mother. The three monsters then engage in a long battle in Bangkok. Sadly, The adult Mothra is killed by Bagan when the fight comes to an end, leaving the larva with the tides of battle. The larva quickly retreats to a remote island and spins a cocoon.
Back in Bangkok, Bagan sprouts two gigantic wings that allow him to fly about, leveling the city. The next morning, the larva comes out of the cocoon as a fully transformed adult Mothra. The two monsters then fight again in Bangladesh for the last time. Bagan, though, has become even more powerful, due to his strong wings. When Bagan gains the upper hand, Mothra figures out the creature's weakness: Bagan is too eager for vengeance. Mothra uses this against the yamato, using her poison powder and weakening him. Thankfully, after a long brutal battle, a weakened Bagan is finally defeated by the younger Mothra and humanity is saved. As the sun sets, Mothra flies back to Borneo.
- Some of the plot for this movie was re-incorporated into Rebirth of Mothra.
- Desghidorah's design choices were very similar to Bagan's, as they both grew wings just before the final battle.
