Want the bad news?
If you haven't been affected by high cholesterol levels yet, it could be about to creep up on you. Women generally have lower levels than men, but between the ages of 50-65 years, our levels rise.

The good news is that with lifestyle changes you can keep the condition under control. But, as most people with high cholesterol won't show any symptoms, it's essential to get tested to find out whether you're at risk.
Good vs bad cholesterol
There are different types of cholesterol – LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein). "LDL is sometimes called 'bad' cholesterol, as it sticks to the walls of the blood vessels, making them narrow and stiff, in the same way water pipes can become clogged with limescale," says senior consultant cardiologist Dr Michael MacDonald. HDL on the other hand is "good" because a raised HDL is associated with a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
What cholesterol levels are safe?
"As a rough guide, ideally, total cholesterol should be less than 5mmol/L (millimoles per litre); LDL should be less than 3mmol/L; HDL should be more than 1mmol/L," says Dr MacDonald.
"However, your doctor may set different targets based on your own medical history."
How to test your cholesterol levels
Testing is essential if you're over 40, if you're overweight, have a family history of high cholesterol or if you have a condition related to high cholesterol.
Testing typically involves your doctor or nurse taking a blood sample, which can usually give results within 24 hours. It's best to book tests in the morning as you may be asked to fast for 10 to 12 hours prior, to ensure that any food ingested won't impact the result.
"Don't be scared of getting tested," says Dr Holmes. "You're giving yourself the opportunity to make changes and you might be reassured by your result."
How to lower cholesterol levels
Adopt a low cholesterol diet
"Reduce your cholesterol by adopting a more balanced diet," says Dr Vishal Shah, medical director at Thriva (thriva.co). "Eat healthy fats found in nuts and olive oil, and eat less processed and fried foods, which contain harmful trans fats.

The foods you need to eat for a low cholesterol diet are ones that should make up any healthy diet. Choose wholegrain varieties of starch and eat oily fish, such as salmon, tuna or mackerel – all a great source of omega-3, which can protect your heart." Try a bowl of oats for breakfast, which, thanks to their high fibre content, help to lower your cholesterol.
A cholesterol- balancing lunch could be a baked potato with baked beans, while dinner can be a serving of oily fish with wholegrain rice and avocado. In-between meals, snack on fruits, vegetables and nuts, all of which help to keep your cholesterol healthy.
Take regular exercise
Exercise is vital. Brisk walking, swimming or cycling will help to increase levels of HDL cholesterol, while helping your body move the LDL cholesterol to the liver, where it's disposed of. The British Heart Foundation recommends to exercise for at least 30 minutes each day.
Keep your weight within the ideal range
People who are overweight are more likely to have high cholesterol levels. It can also help to avoid too many saturated fats (these should make up 20g or less of your diet, according to the NHS). Reduce your consumption of fatty meat products, such as sausages or pies, butter, cream or ice cream, hard cheeses, cakes and chocolate.
Quit smoking
Smoking reduces levels of HDL cholesterol, as a compound found in cigarettes called acrolein inhibits HDL from taking fatty deposits to the liver, leading to higher cholesterol levels. It also increases blood pressure and makes the blood more likely to clot.
What about medication, such as statins?
"Your GP will decide whether or not to give you statins to reduce your cholesterol after calculating your overall risk of cardiovascular disease," says Dr MacDonald. "This is based on factors such as blood pressure, diabetes and smoking – in addition to your cholesterol level."
These work by blocking the enzymes created in your liver that help make cholesterol. However, statins are only prescribed to people who are at a high risk of heart disease because they need to be taken consistently to work.
A low dosage of aspirin may be prescribed in those who've had a heart attack, have a vascular disease or have a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease, as it helps to prevent blood clots.
Latest Stories
This works by blocking the absorption of cholesterol from food so that it doesn't reach your bloodstream.
Bile acid sequestrants
If statins or ezetimibe fail to work, you may be prescribed this. They work by binding to bile acids inside the intestines and prevent them from being absorbed. This then prompts the body to create more bile acid, which then lowers cholesterol levels.

College Men from Marginalized America: Male Retention Initiatives at Berea College
Berea College was established in 1855 as the first interracial, coeducational institution in the American South. Founded by abolitionist Rev. John G. Fee in a slaveholding state (Kentucky), Berea provides access to higher education for historically underserved populations—primarily from southern Appalachia—who otherwise could not afford tuition at a high-quality, private liberal arts institution. The motto of Berea College, "God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth," has long reflected its purpose, mission, and vision.
At Berea, people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds seek to learn from and about each other while living together. Berea is among the most racially diverse private liberal arts colleges in the United States, boasting a population that includes 44 percent students of color. The college admits only low-income students and awards each one a Tuition-Promise Scholarship, meaning no student pays tuition. Also, Berea is one of seven federally recognized work colleges, providing students with a robust academic experience and an opportunity to learn work and life skills. All Berea students are required to work at least ten hours per week in jobs that support the operation of the college.
In spring 2013, in response to concerns from faculty and staff about the lagging retention and graduation rates of African American men and Appalachian men from economically distressed counties, Berea undertook an in-depth research study. As part of this study, we averaged six-year graduation rates from eight prior years at Berea and found that, as of 2012, graduation rates for all men lagged behind those for all women (58 percent compared with 67 percent), and that African American men, as well as white men from distressed Appalachian counties, graduated at even lower rates (52 percent and 47 percent, respectively).
The college piloted the Black Male Initiative (now the Black Male Leadership Initiative, or BMLI) in fall 2014 and launched the Appalachian Male Initiative (AMI) and the Latino Male Initiative (LMI) in fall 2016. Students in each cohort take one first-year, first-semester course that supports their transition to college and their identity development. The BMLI and AMI cohorts also meet outside of class with staff or faculty members who mentor them and guide them through addressing issues of identity. (We are hiring a full-time, tenure-track faculty member for the LMI who will implement similar meetings.) In keeping with Berea's mission, we bring all three cohorts together to learn about their similarities and differences.
Students are enrolled in a cohort based on their self-identification as male and African American, Appalachian, or Latino. They may choose to opt out, but very few do. (Appalachian students of color are initially enrolled as part of their racial and ethnic cohorts, as we believe they might find more support in those groups, but they can choose to be part of the AMI instead.) We work in these identity-based cohorts because, although educational attainment for all these students is limited by similar national capitalist politics and ideologies, those same forces have taught them to see one another and themselves in a negative light. When working in these cohorts, students can more easily explore race, region, class, language, and power in spaces that let them be vulnerable as they build strength, develop community, and learn to value their own assets and the inherent beauty of their cultures. This structure sets them up to appreciate men in the other cohorts as they work together as Bereans, both through explorations shared among the three cohorts and during the rest of their college careers.
Black Male Leadership Initiative
The BMLI's first-year, first-semester course, Mentors and Models, focuses on personal identity development while introducing students to support networks both on campus and in the city of Berea, Kentucky. Because two faculty historians teach the course's two sections, the syllabus also focuses on the historical context that frames conditions and perceptions of African American males. As of fall 2018, 23 percent of Berea College students self-identified as African American, and 7 percent of Berea students self-identified as African American and male.
Outside the classroom, students meet as a group twice weekly with a full-time BMLI director and a student staff member, who also attends the classes. The director helps students negotiate what it means to be a black man in the United States, in small-town Kentucky, and at a Predominantly White Institution, despite Berea's diversity.
The BMLI brings in leading scholars to engage students in dialogue concerning the intersection of individual black male lives and public and social issues in American culture. Students may also travel to conferences focused on African American men and men of color in higher education.
One student remarked, "The things I learned in this class are intangible, skills that can't be measured by a grade point average or a person's intellect." Another student reflected, "I have learned what it is to be truly a man and a great leader and more!" One student summed up the feelings of many BMLI participants: "I learned that I have tons of support here as a black male Berea College student. I now know that people have my back and I have theirs."
Appalachian Male Initiative
Berea is committed to recruiting Appalachian students from some of the nation's most economically distressed counties. Sadly, industries have extracted valuable natural resources (such as coal) from these same counties to power the nation, and the US media has projected debilitating stereotypes onto these areas. One-fourth of Berea's students come from central and southern Appalachia, which stretches across eight states. Two-thirds of those students are from eastern Kentucky, one of the most economically distressed areas in the nation. Ten percent of Berea students self-identify as male and Appalachian.
We conducted the Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory on our campus, which indicated that white Appalachian men are the only group of male students with severe financial worries who also seem to inherently mistrust the administration and who often feel underprepared for college. They long for educational guidance but are the least likely group to ask for help. Other studies that we have conducted confirm those findings and show that these students feel disconnected from the mountains of home where they are deeply involved in the care of their families. They also struggle to find ways to belong on campus. They are, in general, more politically and religiously conservative than their fellow students at a college dedicated to racial and gender equality and concerned with social justice. However, they want to stay at Berea because of the future economic opportunity it offers them and their families, the quality of their classes, and the caring faculty and labor supervisors.
One professor and one full-time staff member (the Appalachian Male Advocate and Mentor) engage these students through the AMI, with support from the director of the Appalachian Center. The initiative has three interconnected parts: (1) fostering social connections; (2) encouraging students' academic journeys and personal explorations; and (3) investigating Appalachian values, history, heritage, and cultures through the Appalachian Cultures course. Within this course, students practice critical reflection and dialogue and undertake four hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom, led by a Berea staff member, which show the sophistication of the people who settled the region. These experiences include harvesting and milling timber from the Berea College Forest, as well as designing and building structures like those in use in the 1800s.
After completing the class, students have reported developing positive self-recognition and cultural ownership. One student explained, "Appalachia is not all I thought it was. There is a life that has been lived and a story that needs to be told." Such self-awareness allows these students to empathize with domestic and international students of color. By studying the region's history, AMI students come to understand the integrity of their lives and cultures and how those ideas often differ from structures of national capitalist ideology. Another student shared, "I am learning how to really appreciate opposing viewpoints, [which] helps me sharpen and redefine my way of thinking." Most importantly, these students find their social and emotional community. One student described the class as "a family."
Latino Male Initiative
The LMI reflects Berea College's responsiveness to the changing demographics of Appalachia and the college's commitment to equity. The first formally recruited group of Latino students enrolled at Berea in fall 2014. Twelve percent of Berea's students self-identify as Latino/a/x, and 5 percent of the college's students self-identify as Latino and male.
One faculty member is dedicated to teaching the LMI course, Latinos in Higher Education. Students spend a semester exploring racial and ethnic identity, belonging, language, and US immigration. Course objectives center on developing strategies and skills for success in college, as well as fostering mental and emotional wellness. Participants also engage in theoretical work concerning Latino identity and the historical importance of Latino educational attainment.
LMI students range from first-generation immigrants from a variety of Latin American countries to men whose families have been in the United States for more than four generations. Because of the diverse, intersecting identities that mark the US Latino experience, these men often struggle to find a sense of belonging, both within the LMI group and the Latino community on campus. Because Latino people in many Appalachian counties are a new, but quickly growing, group, there is a sense of urgency to ensure their long-term success and well-being. Programs that pay attention to the retention rates of Latinos in college are crucial.
LMI class discussions are rich and provocative, centering on topics including struggle, pride in language, and home. One student adapted verses from the song "Latinoamérica" by Calle 13 to express the strength of his people:
Si se derrumba yo lo reconstruyo, if my people fall—what is left of us will rebuild it.
We are the smoke from the factories, we are the working force, and we are hard labor.
Another participant expressed that he felt he needed to hide an important part of who he is by avoiding speaking Spanish in high school: "Once [my classmates] saw that [racism] was okay, they attacked my language, so I hid it for a very long time." Yet another student delineated the negotiation of identity as a man of color: "Being Latino to me means pain, grind, and sacrifice. No one ever gave my people anything, so we got it how we could."
Joining These Initiatives as One
Consistent with Berea's mission of interracial education, we unite the three cohorts to participate in shared experiences. For example, this past year, all cohorts traveled to Cincinnati to engage in experiences together highlighting each group's cultural heritage. They attended a Cincinnati Reds game focused on celebrating Latinx heritage. The Reds lost, but the words "Berea, where friendships are made fast and true" flashed on the scoreboard. The next day, they toured the Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and students learned about Berea College's roots in the 1834 Lane Rebellion, where black and white seminary students became engaged in the abolitionist movement. Later they met with black, white, and Latino elders connected to Cincinnati's Appalachian migrant community, who shared their stories and encouraged students to share theirs.
We are in our third year running all three initiatives. While retention rates have not dramatically increased, 85 to 100 percent of students agreed or strongly agreed in their course evaluations that the classes made them feel more at home at Berea, made them more confident to ask questions in other classes, and gave them a deeper understanding of different perspectives. In addition, 75 percent agreed or strongly agreed that the classes made them feel more confident of their success at Berea and more confident in themselves and their academic abilities.
Perhaps the impacts are best understood from the words of the young men themselves. As one LMI student put it, "I have learned a lot about my own identity as a Latino male. It has been quite inspirational, and I will never forget it."
A BMLI participant agreed:
The skills that I learned in the class are skills that I have the ability to use for the rest of my life. Also, the class gave me a chance to obtain knowledge about my culture. . . . The class guides you to it, but you must show initiative.
Through affirming the cultural capital that students bring and helping them realize the work still to be done, the initiatives help our students learn to thrive. As one AMI student explained,
This class really is one that has prepared me for being better in college and helping me to feel more welcome and comfortable here. The class taught me a lot about myself and where I come from. . . . I definitely know I came to the right college.

After eating a meal to your heart's content, it is very normal to burp or belch. However, it is normal only when it happens occasionally, or after a meal, for someone used to a contented meal every single time. On the other hand, excessive burping or belching can happen due to two reasons.
Excessive air intake: There are multiple ways that excessive air can reach the food pipe. Sucking on straws, chewing gum constantly and ill-fitting dentures are some common reasons for burping.
Digestive problems: Ulcers in the stomach, prolonged gastric, gallstones and rarely, esophageal or stomach cancers can also cause burping.
When to see a doctor
Check with a doctor if you have persistent burping, followed by a meal or otherwise, and accompanied by the following symptoms.
b.Bloody stools
c.Abdominal pain
e.Weight loss
g.Preventing belching
1.Go slow when eating and/or drinking: Most of us are pressed for time and eating and/or drinking has now become a task that needs to be finished quickly. Eating fast causes air to be swallowed, and therefore one of the best ways to stop burping is to eat slowly. Sitting in a calm, relaxing environment when eating also allows one to enjoy the food and avoid or stop burping.
2.Avoid taliking while eating: There is always so much to catch up, whether at home or outside. So, talking while eating is a common practice. This is not just bad manners, but there is also a lot of air that is swallowed, which leads to burping. A solution is to chew the food properly, which not just helps stop burping, but also aids in better food digestion by mixing it adequately with saliva.
3.Substitute coke with water: Carbonated drinks are another reason for belching. Replacing them with water, tea, or anything noncarbonated is advisable, not just from burping perspective, but also from the excessive sugar consumption. Carbonated drinks are just sugar solutions, and are absolutely of no nutritive value.
4.Avoid straw: When possible, drink from a glass and avoid straws. This reduces the amount of gas taken in and helps stop burping.
5.Quit smoking: Quitting it has multiple health benefits, and getting rid of smoking is just one of them.
6.Dentures: Ill-fitting dentures can be a reason for belching, and so they should be checked and corrected, if required, in a person who has persistent burping.
7.Chewing gum: Constantly chewing gum contributes to burping, and so avoiding chewing gum or sucking on hard candy is another way to control burping.
8.Avoid certain foods: Foodstuffs like broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, sprouts, and lentils can produce excessive gas and should be avoided in people who have persistent burping.

Armenian weddings will often have a fairly high visitor count, which means the banquet halls require a great amount of area to allow for everybody else easily.
You could expect anywhere from 200 to 500 visitors for a regular Armenian wedding. That's lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins!
Armenian banquet halls will normally have a big party flooring for guests to commemorate the night time away. Dancing is a sizable area of the tradition, and visitors frequently dance right from the start towards the end that is very.
Right Here Come The Br
Once the visitors have actually settled to their seats in the Armenian banquet hallway, the bridesmaids and groomsmen go into the location in pairs.
Typically each set (one bridesmaid and something groomsman) will dancing their means to the banquet hallway and cheer everybody on. The 2 will likely then carry on cheering and dance before the whole marriage party has entered.
After all the marriage party has entered, everybody will check out the party flooring to commemorate the couple that is newlywed dancing and singing for around 10-15 mins before going back again to their seats.
Breaking The Plate
Before going into the banquet that is armenian, the newlywed few will often step for a dish and break it (and perhaps even break their heels like into the photo above! ).

Ripple Hunting For Unicorns With $25M Blockchain Investment
Ripple, also known by the symbol "XRP," is putting its money where its mouth when it comes to investing in blockchain technology startups. Ripple is putting $25 million worth of XRP into a blockchain venture fund, a move that could increase adoption and use of XRP.
Ripple is investing in San Francisco-based Blockchain Capital. That company, founded in 2013, "is one of the oldest and most active venture investors in the blockchain technology sector, and has financed 72 companies, protocols and tokens since its inception. We are multi-stage investors and invest in both equity and crypto assets," according to its website.
The $25 million contribution to Blockchain Capital was made in XRP, not dollars. Last month, Blockchain Capital announced the closing of Blockchain Capital IV, LP a $150 million fund. The company "has invested in 72 companies, protocols, and tokens, including Coinbase, Ripple, Circle, Ethereum, 0x and Kraken," it said.
This is the first venture fund Ripple has contributed to and it is likely it will continue seeking related investments.
"We want smart people and smart entrepreneurs, who can solve a problem using Ripple," Cory Johnson, chief market strategist at Ripple, told CNBC in an interview Wednesday. "There's money sitting there to be used."
More About Ripple
As of this writing Wednesday, XRP was the third-largest digital currency by market value behind bitcoin and ethereum. XRP traded at an all-time high of $3.84 in January but labored around 50 cents at this writing. Its market capitalization is $19.62 billion. The supply of XRP is capped at 100 billion, of which Ripple controls 60 billion.
Ripple uses a blockchain technology known as the "Enterprise Blockchain" ledger. XRP is used by some banks and other financial institutions, such as American Express and Western Union, and allows users to send, receive and hold any currency on a secure, decentralized network.
Ripple technology is more secure than those of rivals, including bitcoin and XRP transactions settle rapidly, in as little as four seconds.
Litecoin Foundation & TokenPay strike a strategic partnership
TokenPay, The self-proclaimed "Bitcoin on steroids" has entered a partnership with the Litecoin Foundation for a 9.9% stake in the WEG Bank in Germany. In May 2018 TokenPay acquired just under 10% of WEG Bank with the option to purchase up to 90% if approved by the regulatory commission of Germany. In a move to leverage Litecoins marketing and technology service TokenPay has handed the 9.9% over to Litecoin in hopes that it will put TokenPay on the map as a major player in the cryptocurrency market.
TokenPay CEO Derek Capo said in a recent statement "We are building an entire ecosystem that includes merchant services, banking, escrow, gaming, e-sports, employment services, etc., where we have entire control of the vertical integration needed to lower costs, but also control our destiny. Litecoin is a top-five blockchain in the world, and boasts more than one million followers worldwide, which helps increase the chances of TokenPay's ecosystem to succeed."
What does this mean for TokenPay & Litecoin?
This partnership will provide TPAY access to LTC's massive user base and will give the users the opportunity to buy, sell & trade as well as gain access to the company's debit card service. In turn, Litecoin will benefit by having exclusive access to TokenPay's long-standing bank connections to hopefully integrate the LTC blockchain network into a wide range of monetary associations.
Charlie Lee, CEO of the Litecoin Foundation responded to the partnership by saying "This partnership is a huge win-win for both Litecoin and TokenPay. I'm looking forward to integrating Litecoin with the WEG Bank AG and all the various services it has to offer, to make it simple for anyone to buy and use Litecoin."
Each company will play a crucial roll in the partnership by focusing on TPAY crypto and its accompanying blockchain as well as the TokenPay multisignature transaction engine, which should accelerate payment and transaction speeds tremendously for both companies.
There is no word yet on exactly when the technology side will be implemented but TokenPay is geared up to make some major moves that include partnering with multiple other financial establishments.
Survey Says 20% of Banks, Hedge Funds Want to Trade Crypto
There is some good news on the cryptocurrency adoption and liquidity fronts. A new Thomson Reuters survey indicates 20% of banks and hedge funds want to get into trading digital currencies.
"One in five firms are considering trading digital currency in the next three to 12 months, according to a Thomson Reuters survey published Tuesday," reports CNBC. "Of those that showed interest, about 70 percent said they were planning to trade in the next three to six months, and 22 percent said they would look to trade crypto in 6 to 12 months."
Twenty percent is a significant improvement over some other recent data points pertaining to crypto adoption and use among professional investors. For example, a recent survey of attendees at the Context Summits conference in Miami revealed that 11% planned to allocate to cryptocurrencies this year.
Making Moves
"Thomson Reuters surveyed more than 400 clients across its trading solutions, which included hedge funds, large asset managers, and trading desks at the biggest banks. The results showed a widespread familiarity with cryptocurrencies," reports CNBC.
News of more banks and hedge funds looking to get into the crypto games comes amid a backdrop of soaring crypto hedge fund openings, though some of those hedge funds have already been shuttered. On Monday, Goldman Sachs, the largest investment bank, said it made its first hire for its digital asset markets business.
Due to the recent resurgence in bitcoin, the largest digital currency, and other alt-coins, the digital currency market eclipsed a combined market value of $420 billion earlier Tuesday, up from around $300 billion just a few weeks ago.
"Banks are examining client interest and several hedge funds have tried their hand trading virtual currencies," according to Reuters. "Large falls in cryptocurrency prices this year, however, have encouraged critics to warn again that the market is a bubble and that investors should stay away."
A New Avenue For Verge: Pornhub Subscriptions
Verge currency, the digital currency known by the symbol "XVG," got a boost on the adoption front Tuesday when it was revealed that Pornhub will accept XVG as payment for subscriptions. Pornhub is the largest adult entertainment site online and one of the most visited websites in the world.
"Verge is built on an open-source platform with no centralized control over the coin. Verge can process 100 transactions per second. With RSK technology implemented that number is projected to reach 2000 transactions per second," according to Cryptobase.
As of this writing Tuesday, XVG has a market capitalization of $1.20 billion, making it the number 21 digital currency by market value.
"Pornhub users will now be able to use Verge, which allows for anonymous transactions by obfuscating the IP address and geolocation of its users so that they are untraceable, to pay for all Pornhub purchases – including Pornhub Premium, the company's HD, On-Demand streaming service," according to a statement.
Real Talk
The partnership with Pornhub is a potentially significant opportunity for XVG. While the likes of Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Amazon, Netflix and Instagram are among the most visited websites in the world, Pornhub is on the top 50 list. In fact, Pornhub gets more traffic than Google Canada, eBay, Bing and Alipay, just to name a few.
Verge is a departure from traditional cryptocurrencies in that it relies less on cryptography and more on Tor and I2P network to deliver the user experience.
"Verge Currency, which was created in 2014, is designed for everyday use. It improves upon the original Bitcoin blockchain and aims to fulfill its initial purpose of providing individuals and businesses with a fast, efficient and decentralized way of making direct transactions while maintaining personal privacy," according to the statement.
Pornhub added that its in-house production company, Brazzers, and its adult gaming platform, Nutaku, will also be accepting Verge.
"This partnership represents an enormous market with a global reach that will compete with fiat currencies. It's huge for Verge and we're extremely excited to finally be able to announce it," said Verge founder Justin Sunerok.

EXPOSITORY (ENGLISH BIBLE)For the kingdom of heaven.—The italicised words are introduced for the sake of grammatical completeness. The Greek runs simply, "For as a man . . . called his own servants," with no formal close to the comparison. The parable thus introduced has obviously many points in common with that of the Pounds recorded by St. Luke (Luke 19:12-27), but the distinctive features of each are also so characteristic that it will be well to deal with each separately, and to reserve a comparison of the two till both have been interpreted.
The outward framework of the parable lies in the Eastern way of dealing with property in the absence of the owner. Two courses were open as an approximation to what we call investment. The more primitive and patriarchal way was for the absentee to make his slaves his agents. They were to till his land and sell the produce, or to use the money which he left with them as capital in trading. In such cases there was, of course, often an understanding that they should receive part of the profits, but being their master's slaves, there was no formal contract. The other course was to take advantage of the banking, money-changing, money-lending system, of which the Phœnicians were the inventors, and which at the time was in full operation throughout the Roman empire The bankers received money on deposit and paid interest on it, and then lent it at a higher percentage, or employed it in trade, or (as did the publicani at Rome) in farming the revenues of a province. This was therefore the natural resource, as investment in stocks or companies is with us, for those who had not energy to engage in business.Matthew 25:14-15. For, &c. — To show us more clearly the nature and duty of Christian watchfulness, to which he exhorts us in the preceding verse, our Saviour immediately subjoins another parable, wherein he represents to us the different characters of a faithful and slothful servant, and the difference of their future acceptation. Like the former, the present parable is intended to stir us up to a zealous preparation for the coming of our Lord, by diligence in the discharge of our duty, and by a proper employment and a careful improvement of our talents: as well as to unmask still more fully the vain pretences of hypocrites, and to demonstrate that fair speeches and outward forms, without the power of godliness, will stand us in no stead at the last day. The kingdom of heaven is as a man, &c. — The words kingdom of heaven are improperly supplied here. The sentence should rather run thus: For he (namely, the Son of man, mentioned in the preceding verse) is as a man travelling into a far country — Alluding to Christ's withdrawing his bodily presence from his church when he ascended into heaven, or to that long-suffering by which he waits for the fruit of our works: who called his own servants — Τους ιδιους, his own, because created by his power, preserved by his providence, and purchased by his blood; and delivered unto them his goods — The goods of which he was the sole proprietor. Unto one he gave five talents — As being able to traffic with them; to another two — As not being sufficient to manage more; and to another one, as being still more infirm. So Origen. A talent being in value about 187l. 10s., he who was intrusted with five, received 937l. 10s.; and he who had two, 375l. sterling. And who knows whether, all circumstances considered, there be a greater disproportion than this in the talents of those who receive the most and those who receive the fewest? By the talents here we are to understand gifts or endowments conferred for a spiritual end, powers of body and mind, abilities natural and acquired, health, strength, long life, understanding, judgment, memory, learning, knowledge, eloquence, influence, and authority over others, wealth, privileges, or offices, civil or religious, and indeed every power and advantage of which a good or bad use may be made. To every man according to his several ability — Εκαστω κατα την ιδιαν δυναμιν, to each according to his individual or respective capacity, namely, to manage the sum, and according to the prospect there might reasonably be of his improving it. Or, according to the prudence, ability, and activity which he knew each to be possessed of.
His own servants - That is, such of them as he judged to be worthy of such a trust. These represent the apostles, Christian ministers, professing Christians, and perhaps all people. The going into a far country may represent the Lord Jesus going into heaven. He has given to all talents to improve, Ephesians 4:8; Ephesians 2:12.
His goods - His property representing the offices, abilities, and opportunities for doing good, which he has given to his professed followers.
This parable, while closely resembling it, is yet a different one from that of The Pounds, in Lu 19:11-27; though Calvin, Olshausen, Meyer, and others identify them—but not De Wette and Neander. For the difference between the two parables, see the [1356]opening remarks on that of The Pounds. While, as Trench observes with his usual felicity, "the virgins were represented as waiting for their Lord, we have the servants working for Him; there the inward spiritual life of the faithful was described; here his external activity. It is not, therefore, without good reason that they appear in their actual order—that of the Virgins first, and of the Talents following—since it is the sole condition of a profitable outward activity for the kingdom of God, that the life of God be diligently maintained within the heart."
14. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man—The ellipsis is better supplied by our translators in the corresponding passage of Mark (Mr 13:34), "[For the Son of man is] as a man," &c.,
travelling into a far country—or more simply, "going abroad." The idea of long "tarrying" is certainly implied here, since it is expressed in Mt 25:19.
who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods—Between master and slaves this was not uncommon in ancient times. Christ's "servants" here mean all who, by their Christian profession, stand in the relation to Him of entire subjection. His "goods" mean all their gifts and endowments, whether original or acquired, natural or spiritual. As all that slaves have belongs to their master, so Christ has a claim to everything which belongs to His people, everything which, may be turned to good, and He demands its appropriation to His service, or, viewing it otherwise, they first offer it up to Him; as being "not their own, but bought with a price" (1Co 6:19, 20), and He "delivers it to them" again to be put to use in His service.See Poole on "Matthew 25:15".
into a far country; by which heaven is designed, and is so called, not only because of its great distance from the earth, and which is very great indeed; but because the better country and land afar off, is out of sight; and what views we have of it, are very distant ones; and is afar off, in respect of our state of pilgrimage in this world, in which, whilst Christ was here, he was a pilgrim and a stranger too; who might be said to be as a "man travelling", whilst he was in it, and when going out of it, and ascending to heaven: he came from thence, and stayed here a while, walking up and down, and doing good; and when he had finished what he came about, he ascended on high, went to his God and Father, entered into heaven, where he is received until the times of the restitution of all things:
who called his own servants; before he took his journey, to commit some things to their trust and management; and to give them some instructions how to behave during his absence: for, according to the Jewish (u) canons,
"a master that had a mind to go out of the land (of Israel) could not take his servant with him, unless he pleased; and this is a rule at all times, even at this time, that the land is in the hand of the Gentiles.''
And here no mention is made of any going with him, only how they were to be employed whilst he was gone: by "his own servants" are meant, not all mankind; for though they are all in some sense his servants, or ought to be, yet they are not so called in Scripture, much less with such an emphasis, his own servants; and besides, more than what are in the kingdom of heaven, or Gospel church state, cannot be intended; since the parable reaches to, and concerns no other: nor all the elect of God only, or all are not the elect of God that are designed; for though these are the servants of Christ, and his own peculiarly, yet all intrusted with talents, are not such; one of these was wicked, slothful, graceless, and at last was eternally lost, and perished; which is not true of anyone of the elect: but ministers of the word are here meant, who are eminently the servants of Christ, his own, whom he has called, qualified, commissioned, and sent forth; for the ministers of the word, whether faithful or slothful, good or bad, are in a very lively manner described in this parable, which is a distinct one from the former; for whereas that gives an account of the different members of the visible church, this describes the several ministers of it: nor can it be any objection to this sense of it, that these servants are all of them said to be his own servants, and called, commissioned, and gifted by him; since Judas, as well as the rest, was called, ordained, qualified, and sent forth by Christ, as an apostle.
And delivered unto them his goods; the Gospel, that rich treasure of divine truths, the dispensation of it, and gifts to preach it; all which are Christ's goods and his gifts, and not man's; and which was in a very eminent manner done, when Christ ascended on high, and received gifts for, and gave them unto men. Just before it, as he was ready to go, he gathered his disciples together; he renewed and enlarged their commission to preach the Gospel; and quickly after it, gave them greater and larger gifts of the Spirit than before; and has been ever since giving ministerial gifts to men, to some more, others less, and which are signified by the talents following.
(u) Maimon. Hilch. Abadim, c. 8. sect. 9.{2} For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
(2) Christ witnesses that there will be a long time between his departure to his Father and his coming again to us, but yet notwithstanding that, he will at that day take an account not only of the rebellious and obstinate, how they have made use of that which they received from him, but also of his household servants, who have because of slothfulness not employed those gifts which he bestowed upon them.
EXEGETICAL (ORIGINAL LANGUAGES)Matthew 25:14. The parable of the talents, extending to Matthew 25:30,[20] is introduced as an additional ground for the γρηγορεῖτε, and that by viewing it as a question of work and responsibility. The parable in Luke 19:12 ff., which, notwithstanding the differences in regard to individual features, resembles the present in its leading thoughts and illustrations, is to be regarded as a modification, arising in the course of the Gospel tradition, of the more original and simpler one before us (in opposition to Calvin, Olshausen, Neander, Holtzmann, Volkmar), and which Luke also represents as having been spoken at a different time; comp. Weizsäcker, p. 181. In this latter Gospel we have what was originally an independent parable (that of the rebellious subjects) blended with that of the talents (Strauss, I. p. 636 f.; Ewald, p. 419 f.; Bleek, Keim, Weiss, 1864, p. 128 ff.). If it be maintained, as Kern, Lange, Cremer, are disposed to do, that in Matthew and Luke we have two distinct parables, spoken by Jesus on two different occasions, then there is no alternative but either to accept the unnatural view that the simpler (Matthew's) is the later form, or to suppose, in opposition to what is recorded, that Jesus spoke the parable in Matthew, where, however, the connection is perfectly apposite, somewhat earlier than that in Luke (Schleiermacher, Neander). The one view as well as the other would be all the more questionable, that the interval during which Christ "intentionally employs the same parabolic materials for the purpose of illustrating different subjects" (Auberlen) would thus comprise only a few days. Mark 13:34 is extracted from what Matthew has taken from the collection of our Lord's sayings.
ὥσπερ, κ.τ.λ.] a case of anantapodosis similar to that of Mark 13:34, and doubtless reproducing what already appeared in the collection of sayings from which the passage is taken. Comp. Romans 5:12. Fritzsche on Matthew 25:30. At the outset of the discourse it would be the intention to connect the whole parable with ὥσπερ, and, at the conclusion, to annex an apodosis by means of ΟὝΤΩς (probably ΟὝΤΩ ΚΑῚ Ὁ ΥἹῸς Τ. ἈΝΘΡΏΠΟΥ ΠΟΙΉΣΕΙ, or ΟὝΤΩς ἜΣΤΑΙ ΚΑῚ Ἡ ΠΑΡΟΥΣΊΑ Τ. ΥἹΟῦ Τ. ἈΝΘΡ).; but, considering the somewhat lengthened character of the parable, this had to be omitted.
ἈΠΟΔΗΜ.] on the point of going abroad (Matthew 21:33).
ΤΟῪς ἸΔΊΙΟΥς ΔΟΎΛΟΥς] not strangers, such as exchangers, but his own servants, of whom, therefore, he had a right to expect that they would do their best to lay out for his advantage the money entrusted to them.
[20] In connection with this parable, compare the following traditional sayings attributed to Christ: γίνεσθε τραπεζῖται δόκιμοι (Hom. Clem. ii. 51, iii. 50, xviii. 20, etc.; Clement of Alexandria, Origen; Apostolical Constitutions); and ἑν οἷς ἂν ὑμᾶς καταλάβω, ἑν τούτοις καὶ κρινῶ (Justin, c. Tr. 47). Eusebius gives a kindred parable from the Gospel of the Hebrews, and for which see Mai's Nova patrum biblioth. IV. p. 155.Matthew 25:14-30. Parable of the Talents (cf. Luke 19:11-28), according to Weiss (Mt.-Ev., 535) and Wendt (L. J., i., 145) not a Parusia-parable originally, but spoken at some other time, and inculcating, like the parable of the unjust steward, skill and fidelity in the use of earthly goods.14. into a far country] These words do not occur in the original, the word translated "travelling into a far country," is rendered in the next verse "took his journey."
delivered unto them his goods] Cp. Mark 13:34. "A man taking a far journey, who left his house and gave authority (rather, his authority) to his servants, and to every man his work." Christ in His absence gives to each a portion of His own authority and of His own work on earth.
A great deal of the commerce of antiquity was managed by slaves, who were thus often entrusted with responsible functions (cp. ch. Matthew 24:45). In this case they are expected to use their Master's money in trade or in cultivation of the soil, and to make as large an increase as possible.
14–30. The Parable of the Talents, in this Gospel only
The parable of the Pounds, Luke 19:12-27, is similar, but there are important points of distinction; (1) in regard to the occasions on which the two parables are given; (2) in the special incidents of each.
The lesson is still partly of watchfulness, it is still in the first instance for the apostles. But fresh thoughts enter into this parable: (1) There is work to be done in the time of waiting; the watching must not be idle or unemployed; (2) Even the least talented is responsible.Matthew 25:14.—Ὑπάρχοντα, goods) For the distribution of them, see the next verse.[1089]
[1089] There are intimated by these, spiritual gifts, temporal resources, time itself, and finally opportunities of every kind.—V. g.Verses 14-30. - Parable of the talents. (Peculiar to St. Matthew.) Following on the lesson of watchfulness and inward personal preparation just given, this parable enforces the necessity of external work and man's accountability to God for the due use of the special endowments which he has received. The former was concerned chiefly with the contemplative life, the waiting virgins; this chiefly with the active, the working servant; though, in fact, both states combine more or less in the good Christian, and the perfect disciple will unite in himself the characteristics of John and Peter, Mary and Martha. St. Luke (Luke 19:11-27) has recorded a somewhat analogous parable spoken by Christ on leaving the house of Zacchaeus, known as the parable of the pounds; and some critics have deemed that the two accounts relate to the same saying altered in some details, which are to be accounted for on the hypothesis that St. Luke has combined with our parable another on the rebellious citizens. That there are great resemblances between the two cannot be disputed, but the discrepancies are too marked to allow us to assume the unity of the two utterances. Christ often repeats himself, using the same figure, or illustration, or expression to enforce different truths or different phases of the same truth, as here he may have desired more emphatically to impress on the disciples their special responsibilities. The variations in the two parables are briefly these: The scene and occasion are different; this was spoken to the disciples, that to the multitude; in one the lord is a noble who was to receive a kingdom, in the other he is simply a landowner; here his absence is a matter of local space, there it is a matter of time; the servants are ten in the one case, and three in the other; ill one we have pounds spoken of, in the other talents; in St. Luke each servant has the same sum delivered to him, in St. Matthew the amount is divided into talents, five, two, and one; in the "pounds" the servants show differing faithfulness with the same gifts, in the "talents" two of them display the same faithfulness with differing gifts; here the idle servant hides his money in a napkin, there he buries it in the earth; the conclusions also of the parables vary. Their object is not identical: the parable in our text illustrates the truth that we shall be judged according to that which we have received; the parable in St. Luke shows, to use Trench's words, that "as men differ in fidelity, in zeal, in labour, so will they differ in the amount of their spiritual gain." The latter treats of the use of gifts common to all, whether bodily, mental, or spiritual, such as one faith, one baptism, reason, conscience, sacraments, the Word of God; the former is concerned with the exercise of endowments which have been bestowed according to the recipient's capacity and his ability to make use of them, - the question being, how he has employed his powers, opportunities, and circumstances, the particular advantages, examples, and means of grace given to him. Verse 14. - For the kingdom of heaven is as a man The opening sentence in the original is anacoluthic, and our translators have supplied what they supposed to be wanting. The Greek has only, For just as a man, etc.; Vulgate, sicut enim homo. The other member of the comparison is not expressed. The Revised Version gives," It is as when a man." They who receive the possible interpolation at the end of ver. 13 would simply render, "For he (the Son of man) is as a man." The Authorized Version plainly affords the intended meaning in the words of the usual preface to such parables (ver. 1; Matthew 13:24, 31, etc.). The conjunction "for" carries us back to the Lord's solemn injunction, introducing a new illustration of the necessity of watchfulness. Travelling into a far country (ἀποδημῶν, leaving home). Here our Lord, being about to withdraw his bodily presence from the earth and to ascend into heaven, represents himself as a man going into another country, and first putting his affairs in order and issuing instructions to his servants (comp. Matthew 21:3; 5). Who called his own (τοὺς ἰδίους) servants. The sentence literally is, As a man... called his own bond servants. Those who specially belonged to him - a figure of all Christians, members of Christ, doing him service as their Master. Delivered unto them his goods (τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, his possessions). This was not an absolute gift, as we see from subsequent proceedings, and from the well known relation of master and slave. The latter, generally speaking, could possess no property, but he was often employed to administer his master's property for his lord's advantage, or was set up in business on capital advanced by his owner, paying him all or a certain share of the profits. The money still was not the slave's, and legally all that a slave acquired by whatsoever means belonged to his master, though custom had sanctioned a more equitable distribution. The "goods" delivered unto the lord's servants represent the special privileges accorded to them - differences of character, opportunities, education, etc., which they do not share in common with all men. This is one point, as above remarked, in which this parable varies from that of the "pounds." In both cases the gifts are figured by money - a medium current and intelligible everywhere on earth.
The sense is more nearly about to travel, like our going abroad.

Rohina Husseini had no idea someone could steal a house, but the first small clue that the home she owned for nearly a decade was no longer hers was a piece of junk mail that most of us ignore.
The Springfield, Virginia, mother said she initially tossed the mortgage refinancing offers that began arriving over the summer in the trash, but one detail bugged her: The letters were addressed to another woman. Curious, Husseini said she finally opened one.

"You bought a new house, congratulations," read the letter addressed to Masooda Persia Hashimi.
"I was like, 'Wow, this doesn't seem right,' " Husseini said. "I don't know this person at all. She never lived in my house even before (I moved in)."
