If you are looking for Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland, Look No Further!
Many companies that provide online quotes are taking your information and selling it to brokers like me. If you fill out their form, most likely you will get lots of phone calls and emails from different salespeople trying to sell you something.
Rather than put you through that, I want to work with you on a personal basis. I provide lots of free information on my website, including my free video classes that you can access 24/7. And when it's time to give you a quote, I will provide it personally. I won't sell your information.
There are different things to consider when getting a Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland Quote if you are a Northumberland resident, including the financial strength of the insurance company. But most importantly, I want you to understand what the customer service is like at the company you choose. To me, this is very high on the list of what to look for when purchasing a Medicare Supplement Plan in Northumberland.
My name is Kathe Kline, and I am contracted with many of the companies that offer Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland. I'm a broker, not an agent. This means I am not bound to any particular insurance company. I also offer the different types of Medicare-related plans, including Medicare Supplement Plans, Medicare Advantage Plans, and Drug Plans available in Northumberland.
Many of my clients in Northumberland have found me on YELP when they were about to turn 65. I'm proud of my high ratings on YELP and work diligently to provide the type of service that would make you want to give a high rating too.
Medicare insurance differs from the insurance you have carried personally or at work, so you will want to make sure you understand how your new plan works before signing on the dotted line.
There are two types of plans that deal with Medicare. The first is Medicare Advantage. This plan replaces Medicare Parts A and B. Many people incorrectly call "Medicare Advantage Plans" "Supplement Plans". Medicare Advantage Plans works differently than Medicare Supplement Plans.
The thing about Medicare Supplement Plans (Medigap Plans) is that you don't replace or cancel original Medicare when you buy one. You have all your Medicare rights and protections, along with the insurance company that fills the gaps.
Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland (or anywhere really) do not replace original Medicare the way Medicare Advantage Plans do. Supplement Plans only fill in coverage gaps, which is why they are sometimes called "Medigap" coverage plans or "Medigap Insurance".
You can't use both a Medicare Advantage plan and a Medicare Supplement Plan at the same time. Each plan has somewhat complicated rules. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, it takes precedence over the Supplement Plan, and you won't be able to use the Supplement Plan. This is why you need to work with a broker who is knowledgeable in both types of plans.
As an example of the complexity, I had a client who was changing from a Medicare Advantage Plan to a Medicare Supplement Plan. The insurance company accepted her as of 3/1. But they didn't notify her of this fact until 3/1. Because the only way to cancel her Medicare Advantage Plan was to purchase a drug plan (due to a Special Election Period or SEP that she had) her drug plan coverage wouldn't go into effect until 4/1.
When she received notification that her Supplement Plan was in effect on 3/1, she didn't believe me when I told her that she wouldn't be able to use it until 4/1. We called Medicare to confirm this fact. Boy was she disappointed when they confirmed that her plan would actually not work until 4/1/ when the drug plan enrollment canceled her current Medicare Advantage Plan.
Why is it prudent to get Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland?
Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland are designed to help pay some of these co-pays, co-insurance amounts, and deductibles. How much of these will be covered is based upon which plan you purchase (not the insurance company you purchase it from)?
Medicare Supplement or Medigap or policies are standardized across all insurance companies and most geographic areas.
Since every Medicare Supplement Policy has to follow federal and state laws, they are identified formally as "Medicare Supplement Insurance". So if you are searching for "Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland" and you find a policy with the Plan letter of F, it will offer the exact same coverage as the "Medicare Supplement Plans in Orange County". This is because, by law, each plan with the same letter designation has to offer the exact same base coverage.
This works for every state except Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, because these states have different laws that govern their own Medicare Supplement Plans.
If an insurance company decides to sell Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland, they must offer a Plan A and a Plan C or Plan F. But they don't have to offer any other plan. For example, the insurance company doesn't have to offer High-Deductible Plan F (also known as F+ or HDF), Plan N, or Plan G. The insurance companies are allowed to make business decisions on which plans they want to offer but they must offer the same coverage as their competitors for each plan they offer.
Let's look at the Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland that were available in 2024 and what they offered:
* Plans F and G also offer a high-deductible plan in some states. With this option, you must pay for Medicare-covered costs (coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles) up to the deductible amount of $2,340 in 2020 ($2,370 in 2021) before your policy pays anything. (Plans C and F aren't available to people who were newly eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020.)
** For Plans K and L, after you meet your out-of-pocket yearly limit and your yearly Part B deductible, the Medigap plan pays 100% of covered services for the rest of the calendar year.
*** Plan N pays 100% of the Part B coinsurance, except for a copayment of up to $20 for some office visits and up to a $50 copayment for emergency room visits that don't result in an inpatient admission.
As you can see, the plans were (and are) standardized. Each insurance company that offers Plan A, for example, will offer the exact same benefits.
However, some insurance companies may throw in bonuses that are not actually part of the standardized plan. A typical bonus might be to include a gym membership. Or it might include other benefits that are not actually part of the plan. Keep in mind that when additional benefits are offered, the insurance company is not required to keep them in your plan for the life of the plan. These additional benefits can be dropped or changed in the future.
What are the different types of Medigap plans along with costs?
Each insurance company offers different Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland to choose from. Each plan, signified by a letter, offers a different monthly premium depending on your zip code and the insurance company that you are considering.
As you probably suspect, the cost of Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland varies widely. The plan cost is not standardized like the benefits are. Generally, the plan letters with higher monthly premiums offer more benefits. We use a quoting tool in our office that shows us virtually all the Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland and what they cost.
This is how we are able to offer the right Medicare Supplement Plans to aid in matching the wants and needs of each of our Northumberland residents.
This is because some companies offer a "Welcome to Medicare" first-year discount. However, after the 12 months is up, the discount goes away and your premium goes up to $142 per month.
This might change in the future, but that's what it was as of 03/2018.
Speaking of turning 65, it is important to note that you might not get a Supplement Plan if you wait. Insurance companies can disqualify you for certain medical conditions unless you are in a Guaranteed Issue (GI) situation. You're just turning 65 is one such GI situation. If you don't choose a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan when you turn 65 you may lose your guaranteed issue status and have to qualify medically before qualifying for Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans in Northumberland.
Which plan do most people get?
In our office, we have found that the most popular Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland are Plan F plans. Plan F is the most comprehensive, and it is surprisingly affordable at age 65. Since it covers all your deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance, most people who are attracted to Supplement Plans over Medicare Advantage Plans choose this one.
According to the American Association of Medicare Supplement Insurance, comparing Medicare Supplement Plans offered by different insurance companies operating in Northumberland can save you up to $50,000 over your lifetime.
Here's how they explain it. They said that all Medicare Supplement Plans are standardized but not the costs. According to them, in 2017, the lowest cost Medicare Plan F for someone who was 65 living in Phoenix was $148 per month. If you had purchased the most expensive, it would have been $380 per month. The difference between the two is $2784.
If you were a 65-year-old male, your life expectancy was 84, or 19 more years.
They then took $2784 and multiplied it by 19 years and got $52,896.
I can tell you from past experience that oftentimes a person purchases a Supplement Plan from one company and then never compares it to other insurance companies again.
Over time, premiums can go up at different rates with different companies.
Some people don't ask their Medicare Supplement Insurance agent or broker how many plans or companies they represent. In general, agents can only work with one company. Brokers usually offer different plans from multiple companies. I am a broker that offers most plans from most of the insurance companies offering insurance here in Northumberland.
If an insurance broker only offers two plans, then you might not be working with the least expensive plan in your area. Be sure to ask how many Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland your broker is contracted with. More plans may open more opportunities for you to save money in your particular situation.
Plan F was introduced as one of the most comprehensive plans. But you may save money by instead choosing Plan G.
Medicare Supplement Plan G is very similar to Plan F, except that it doesn't cover the Part B deductible, which as of this writing is $183. Everything else is covered the same as Plan F. The only issue that I see here is that we don't know what the Part B deductibles are going to be in the future.
Note: As of 2020 Plan F will no longer be offered to newly eligible Medicare beneficiaries without having to qualify medically. In other words, if you are new to Medicare after 2020 you won't be able to get a Plan F. But if you are already on either Medicare Parts A and/or B, you may still be able to get it if you qualify medically.
Remember, insurance companies don't have to sell you Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans in Northumberland if you have certain medical conditions unless you are in a Guaranteed Issue (GI) situation.
Plan N can also save you money:
Plan N looks good at first glance, due to low premiums along with the $20 co-pay after the Part B deductible, and the $50 copay for emergency care. However, use caution because it doesn't cover "excess doctor charges." California allows excess doctor charges, and these can add up if your healthcare provider doesn't accept assignment (which means that they don't charge this).
Medicare does not cover every possible condition. And if Medicare doesn't cover it, Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland won't cover it either (unless it's one of those additional benefits we just discussed). That said, Medicare Supplement Plans can help defray the cost of deductibles and co-pays associated with Medicare Parts A and B.
Let's look at some common items that original Medicare doesn't cover:
This includes acupuncture or chiropractic services (except a limited number of visits to fix subluxation of the spine), massage therapy, transcendental meditation, acupuncture and other types of alternative or complementary care.
Elective cosmetic surgery is generally not covered. But if certain surgeries are required to fix a "malformation" it might be covered.
And if you had a mastectomy due to breast cancer, Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers external breast prostheses (including a post-surgical bra) after a mastectomy. Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers surgically implanted breast prostheses after a mastectomy if the surgery takes place in an inpatient setting.
Part B covers breast reconstruction surgery if it takes place in an outpatient setting.
Medicare does not cover nursing home care, assisted living communities, or adult daycare. Medicare also does not cover the cost of hiring someone to help you with bathing, toileting, and dressing, or housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation, etc. And that's right if Medicare doesn't cover it, neither will Medicare Supplement Plans offered in Northumberland.
However, nursing home care or personal care might be covered under Medi-Cal if you qualify.
Remember, if Medicare doesn't cover it, Medicare Supplement Plans offered in Northumberland won't cover it either.
Medicare does not cover cleanings, fillings, or dentures. Part A of Medicare might pay for certain services you may undergo while being hospitalized for an emergency.
If Medicare won't pay for your dental care, then Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland won't cover these items either.
Note: You can purchase a dental plan as an optional benefit through many providers, and there are stand-alone plans you can purchase as well.
Medicare doesn't cover routine vision care such as eye exams, refraction, contact lenses or eyeglasses — except when following cataract surgery. However, if you have diabetes, you can get a regular eye exam for diabetic retinopathy.
And you are correct, Medicare Supplement Plans offered in Northumberland, Pennsylvania won't cover these either unless you purchase an optional "buy up", which some plans offer.
Medicare doesn't pay for routine hearing exams or hearing aids. However, Medicare might cover hearing implants to treat a severe hearing loss under Medicare Part B if a doctor or other health care provider orders them. This type of implant might be covered under Prosthetics.
Medicare doesn't cover routine foot care, which includes removing corns or calluses. It also doesn't cover orthotics or orthopedic shoes.
If you have diabetes and have diabetic nerve damage, it will cover foot exams and treatments. Medicare will also cover foot injuries and diseases such as heel spurs, hammertoes, and bunion deformities. It will also cover plantar warts and some kinds of toenail fungus.
Once again, if original Medicare won't pay, the Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland won't cover it either.
Some people might need transportation from a care facility to the hospital for surgery. Or they might need transportation from a Skilled Nursing Facility back home. Many times this is provided in an ambulance. Medicare does not cover non-emergency Ambulance Services.
In most cases, Medicare will not cover health care received outside of the USA. However, if "you live in the U.S. and the foreign hospital is closer to your home than the nearest U.S. hospital that can treat your medical condition, you can be covered regardless of whether it's an emergency."
Some Medicare Supplement Plans have limited coverage for medical emergencies while traveling.
We usually advise our clients to purchase travel insurance due to the limitations of these plans.
Medicare Part A covers both hospitalization and in-patient care. If you are staying overnight as an inpatient, Part A is what covers that. Part A of Medicare includes hospitalization, skilled nursing facilities, and home health care.
Part A, Days 1-60 for Hospitalization
When someone is hospitalized, there is a deductible for the first 60 days. In 2018, the deductible for Part A of Medicare is $1340. But… the deductible is not per year, it's actually per occurrence.
So you can pay more than one deductible in the same calendar year.
Let's look at some examples:
In this example, you live in Northumberland, and in January, you fall down the stairs and break your hip. You are admitted to the hospital and you stay for 10 days as an inpatient. After the 10 days, you are moved to the a Skilled Nursing Facility and you stay there for another 10 days. Then you go home.
But then in September, you have a stroke. This time you are admitted to the Hospital again and stay for another 4 days. You recover and don't need Skilled Nursing this time so you just go home.
That hosptial Northumberland hospital stay for the stroke would be a second occurrence, and you would pay the Part A $1340 deductible again.
So just keep in mind that your Part A deductible is per occurrence, and you can wind up paying a Part A deductible more than once during the year.
Don't worry though. You can get Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland that can help you defray the cost of these deductibles.
After you've been in the hospital over sixty days, your payment will change. From days 61 through day 90, you'll have a per day co-pay, and in 2018 that copay is $335 per day or up to $10,050.
*But the maximum isn't per year. It's per occurrence. So if you had two events in two different benefit periods, your maximum could be $10,050 x 2 or $20,100.
If you are in the hospital over 90 days in one benefit period, your Lifetime Reserve Days (LRD) will apply. You'll use them for days 91-150.
Your year copays, while you are using LRD, is $670 per day, up to $40,200 in 2018. The bad news is that you can only use these days once. There is no benefit period "reset" on these LRDs.
What that means is that once you have been in the hospital for over 150 days and have used up your lifetime reserve days, you are responsible to pay all costs.
This means that without a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan you could potentially have unlimited financial liability.
With my financial background, an unlimited liability is unimaginable to me.
It's prudent to limit a potentially unlimited liability, and that's why my clients choose either Medicare Advantage Plans offered in Northumberland or Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans in Northumberland.
Not all plans are right for all people. That's why there is a choice.
Let's now talk about Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF), which I mentioned in the example above.
Earlier we discussed someone falling and breaking her hip? She was admitted to a hospital for a few days. She was released from the hospital but still needed additional care, so she was admitted to an SNF.
Medicare does not cover SNF care unless there was a 3-day inpatient stay immediately prior to the SNF stay. Sometimes you can be admitted to the hospital and actually stay overnight, but you're an outpatient according to the hospital.
At this writing, in 2018, you must be given a notice called the MOON notice that explains whether you are an inpatient or an outpatient.
But I still recommend that you ask, "Am I an inpatient or am I an outpatient?"
This is because if you are not in the hospital as an inpatient for a minimum of three days, Medicare will not pay for any of your SNF.
The good news is that if you ARE eligible, Medicare will pay 100% of your SNF for the first 20 days, and then for days 21 through 100, you're responsible for a co-pay.
In 2018, the copay is $167.50 per day. After 100 days per benefit period, you'll pay all costs.
Then, after you are in the SNF for 100 days, Medicare will not pay anything. That means that you'll be responsible for all costs.
Note: Remember, it's per benefit period, not per year. Also note that if Medicare does not pay, Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland won't pay either.
Let's look at Part B and what you're responsible to pay under this portion of Medicare.
On top of the monthly premium for Part B, there is also an annual deductible. In 2024 the Part B deductible was 0 for the year.
After you pay the deductible, Medicare covers 80% of the approved amount for your medical expenses and you pay 20% of the approved amount (plus 100% of any applicable excess doctor charges).
Let's for example's sake, say you go to the doctor three times in year. As I mentioned earlier, in year the Part B deductible was 0. Just for simplicity's sake, we'll say that the first time the doctor charges exactly 0. Because of the deductible, if you didn't have any Medicare Supplement Plans for Northumberland residents, you would pay the entire 0.
The second time you go to the doctor, she charges you $183 again. But this time Medicare picks up 80% and your costs would be ($183 x.20) or $36.30.
For your third visit, the doctor charges you $255. This time your co-insurance amount is $255 x.20 or $51.
This would continue through the calendar year and then would start over the following year. The following year the deductible might change so you would need to use those new deductible amounts.
Let's now discuss the "excess doctor charge" that I mentioned earlier.
Most (but not all) doctors in Northumberland accept original Medicare. This isn't true with Medicare Advantage, so be sure to ask the right questions. You can also use Medicare's Physician Compare tool to find out.
To access the Physician compare tool just go to medicare.gov/physiciancompare/.
This tool will also tell you if your doctor accepts Medicare Assignment, which will let you know if there will be an "excess doctor charge".
The reason you might be responsible for this fee is that doctors can accept original Medicare without accepting "Medicare Assignment". If a doctor does not Medicare assignment, that doctor can charge up to 15% more than the approved amount, and you would be responsible for 35% of the Medicare-Approved amount. This includes the original 20% coinsurance amount that we discussed earlier, plus the 15% "excess doctor fee".
It might not be an issue for a $200 office visit, but it can be a huge problem in the case of a $300,000 surgery. It can be a potentially large liability if you have only original Medicare, without the protection of Medicare Supplement Plans, Northumberland.
Medicare Part B pays 100% for clinical laboratory services and also covers 100% of the approved amount for home healthcare. For outpatient services, the payment is based on the procedure that you're having.
When looking at the cost of blood, consider that you have to pay for the first three pints of blood, and then after that, Medicare will pay 80% of the approved amount and you'll pay 20%.
I usually tell my clients to estimate about $500 per pint, so if you need blood it can be expensive.
The good news is that there are Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland that will cover these costs.
The easiest time to buy Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland is during your Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment Period. This is because during this time period the insurance company can't ask you any medical questions, and you are guaranteed to be issued the policy.
This special period lasts for six months. It starts on the first day of the first month in which you are:
In some states, these plans might be available to those under age 65. For those applying for a Medicare Supplement policy prior to age 65, your Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment Period begins on the first day you're enrolled in Medicare Part B.
Some but not all companies will accept applications for Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland before your Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment Period officially begins. If you currently have coverage that ends when you turn age 65, completing your application with an agent before open enrollment might allow you to have continuous coverage without any breaks.
There are many Medicare Supplement Plans in Northumberland, PA. This article focused mainly on Medicare Supplement Plans. There are also many Medicare Advantage Plans offered here. Medicare Advantage Plans have their own pros and cons. My team and I are ready to assist you with your needs.

As Thanksgiving seems to be on everybody's minds right now (at least all those who celebrate it), it thrilled me that my menu planner was a huge help to many of you. Furthermore, I am glad that recipes for Turkey Roulade with Cranberry Mushroom Stuffing and the Roasted Thyme Jerusalem Artichoke, Kohlrabi and Butternut Squash seemed to hit the right note with several of my readers.
Quite a few emails came fluttering into my mailbox with requests for more tips and helpful ideas. A few also asked why do I celebrate Thanksgiving? A very good question considering the fact I am Indian, married to a German and living in Germany – where does Thanksgiving fit into this picture?
Well it actually is something that goes back to the time we were living in Doha. We were going to a British school but had several American friends. My parents' social circle also consisted of several American expatriate families and each year we were invited to celebrate Thanksgiving with them. One year my mother suggested that everyone come over to our place for Thanksgiving. It was the least she could do to show her appreciation of all the lovely kind gestures these friends had shown to us.
I think at first everyone was a bit stumped. How radical - the idea of celebrating Thanksgiving at an Indian family's home! However, my mother as many of my regular readers will know, is a unique and talented person. She was certainly not going to let a dead bird get in her way. Although she had never prepared a turkey before she was bold enough to take on the task of inviting what I remember as an army of friends.
I also do remember the slight panic attack she had as she pondered over recipes and I very well remember how she convulsed when she actually saw the size of the bird. At that time I was not any help at all! The kitchen was a waste of time for me and I was far too busy with other activities to even consider asking my mother if she needed any help. Today I know what a task it must have been for her.
But my mother pulled the dinner off successfully in her own unique way. Ever since then we made it a point to celebrate every year. My parents told us that there were several things that we should be thankful for and this day officially became a way for us to be grateful for the simple and not so simple things in life.
In Germany the American Thanksgiving is not really a concept. I sometimes got the feeling it was even ridiculed as just another "Ami" holiday! However, over the years it bugged me and I started inviting close friends to a elegant gathering every year. I made it a point that everyone said a few words about what they were thankful and soon this became a highlight for my close friends.
I have moved from city to city here in Germany, the coolest thing is it seems like I have left a trail of the Thanksgiving feeling behind. My friends call , telling me they miss the gatherings, a few even celebrate on their own. Here in Weimar I have found a very intimate circle of friends who have become as close as family to me. Celebrating with them each year is a joy and we have become a very efficient team, each knowing what to do.
I am thankful for all these friends who were a part of my life and helped me feel a little at home away from family. To my ever inspiring mother, who always injected the world around her with vitality, I am forever indebted.
And so it came to be that this Indian girl living in Germany with her German husband and son, celebrates this American holiday with all the gusto, frills, turkey and stuffing.
What caught my eye about this recipe, from one of my favorite German food magazines, for mushroom cream soup was not only the crispy thyme Parmesan chips but also that it was a perfect way to start off the meal with my turkey roulade and roasted vegetables. While mushrooms are present in the stuffing for the turkey roulade, thyme adds its aromatic flavor to the roasted vegetables. Both ingredients are also highlighted in the soup.
Mushroom Cream Soup with Thyme Parmesan Chips
Printable version of recipe here.400g potatoes, diced
20g dried porcini mushrooms, soaked in 1 1/4 l warm water for 30 minutes, reserving water
750g Crimini mushrooms, half thinly sliced, half coarsely chopped

There has been a lot of scandal regarding the current trend of employing nannies in our society. What a shame that a can-do people have become so dependent on agencies, schools, nannies and babysitters to care for and raise their children.
The artists have captured a natural picture of love that mothers have for their children. While some people think that you have to be rich in order to stay home with your children, these paintings do not depict wealthy surroundings. Doing simple, natural things, like showing something of nature to a child, holding them, and sharing the simple things in life is all that a child really needs.
Young women need to marry and have children of their own, rather than desiring to become nannies. They can then be the nanny for their own children. If young women spend too much time raising other people's children, they be discouraged from having their own children. Mothers need to take care of their own children, because they were created for it.
Mothers and children were made to interact with one another, and each one will mature and grow from the relationship they form with each other. It is not natural for a mother to go to work for someone else while she hires another person to look after her children.
Mothers, won't you please stay home with your little ones? They need you so much, and no one else will do! You are not replaceable. There is no substitute for the mother in the most receptive and teachable moments of a child's life.
I have read that some mothers who take their children to parks to play will see nannies with other people's children, and report them to their employers if they are neglecting the children in their care. Sometimes these nannies will be on their cell phones while the children are getting in harm's way in a play-park, or sometimes the nannies are just abusing the children.
A mother may be watching this and report a nanny to the employer (the child's mother) and the employer will fire the nanny. Then, the parent will hire a new nanny. In my opinion, it would be better to talk to the child's mother and impress on her the importance of becoming the child's own nanny and being a real mother by staying at home with her child.
Childhood is so fleeting, and mothers should be with their children in those formative years, doing simple things at very little expense. Women in the past have done it, with less comfort and less luxury than is available today. Our mothers thought that raising children was their duty and their responsibility and did not want to give the job to anyone else. There is an important influence that the mother has on her children, for she blesses them with her values and her beliefs.
Jane Austen (1775-1817) gave a low opinion of the nanny business in her novel "Emma," where a young, single woman named Jane Fairfax referred to it as the governess-trade:
"Governess trade, I assure you was all that I had in view; widely different, certainly, as to the guilt of those who carry it on; but as to the greater misery of the victims, I do not know where it lies."
There are certainly victims in the nanny business today: the women who become nannies can be held liable for injury or death of a child. A child in the care of a nanny is denied instant access to his mother, whom he needs in order to develop normally. The mother misses out on learning about her child's needs, and misses out of course, on the "firsts" of her child: first word, for step, first tooth, first waking moment, etc.
Gwen Webb wrote in her book, "Training Up A Child" (1977, The Old Landmarks Press) of a woman who kept on working even after her husband had found adequate employment. She had left her children for years, and even though she attended worship three times a week and heard many Bible lessons, she had somehow failed to be impressed with the importance of her mission of motherhood. In one of the Training Up A Child classes, Mrs. Webb implored the ladies to understand what God's expectations were for them as mothers. The woman's heart was so deeply touched, that she cried all night, and then resigned from her job with the airlines. It broke her heart to think what she had missed in all those years of leaving her children.
Later, she confessed that she was happier than ever staying home with her children and was leading a far more interesting life than she ever experienced while working away from home.
Mrs. Webb wrote in another chapter:
"No matter how highly a baby-sitting service has been assessed, it still leaves us with the fact that mother's devotion is superior to the best of child-care services."
She cited a conversation she had with a case-worker when she was adopting a child:
"Many of her professional services were rendered to juvenile court. Just a few doors away from her offices were courtrooms. As she talked, she gestured with her hands and said, 'In my judgement, the majority of the juvenile cases we deal with in the courts could be eliminated if mothers would return home.' "
Mothers have the important duty of teaching their children to believe in God and to pray and prepare for the life ahead. Who will do this if the Mother goes somewhere else for the main part of the day? God told the Israelites in Dueteronomy 6:6-8, to teach their children as they sat in their houses, as they walked by the way, as they lay down and when they rose up:
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
The duty was given to the parents, not to a substitute. They were not told to outsource their parental responsiblities. There is a lot more at stake than mere child care. A mother's presence is essential for the emotional and spiritual well-being of her children.
Post Script: I agreed to add this from an email I received:
It is even more shocking to see women who get degrees in "child development" and work for daycares and schools for children whose mother's work. These girls do not want to marry or have children, but they work all day with children. This is a bizarre twisting of the word of God, which states that young women should marry, bear children, and keep house (in that order!) Money is at the root of it, but no amount can ever replace a childhood.
Motherhood was once regarded in such high esteem that artists tried to capture the look and the feeling on canvas. Would any artist paint a daycare worker or a teacher with children in such a sentimental way as the paintings of Jessie Wilcox-Smith, Munier, Bougeureau, Bessie Pease Gutman, Frederick Morgan, Frederick Leighton, or Walter Langley? Those artists seemed to get mothers and children in real poses that still occur in real life when a child leans on his mother's knees, sits on her lap, or is cradled by her.
Money should not be the criteria in whether or not you stay home with your children. Be willing to live in something cheaper and maybe out in the country and get rid of the habit of trying to look trendy, with fancy clothes and shoes, etc. Cast aside the materialistic expectations and hold your children, read to them, talk to them as you do your housework, and notice every expression and every attitude, every movement they have. No social worker or day care worker or nanny can possibly be that interested in your child.There is no replacement for the mother.
Mrs. Webb also wrote in her book, "Training Up A Child":
Dear Daddy and Mother,
You have been very busy getting me ready every day for school. You say that it is very important that I get an educagtion. That is why you see that TV is not turned on until I have prepared my lessons for the coming school day. That is why you see that I get to bed early to prepare my body for the physical strains of school.
Yes, getting an education is a must, to prepare one for the social demands of this life; but tonight, Daddy and Mother, when I am asleep, won't the two of you tip-toe into my room and steal a look at my sleeping face? There may be a tear on my cheek, though my cares of the departed day have gotten lost somewhere in dreamland. Look at me, and ask yourselves how much spiritual education you are you giving me...Is it more important to be a doctor than to be a Christian?...Is it more important to be a nurse than an angel of God?...What kind of person do you really want me to be? Now is the time to educate me spiritually. After I have opened the door of adulthood, it may be too late.
Please, Daddy and Mother, I need Spiritual Education too, through regular Bible study and worship.
Your irreplaceable child...
If a child has a mother who is alive, it is she who ought to be caring for him day and night, not a nanny.
I grew up in an era where mothers stayed home with their children, and made great sacrifices to do so. These dear mothers did not care about personal career satisfaction or moeny-earning abilities. They cared about their children's safety and about what was going into their minds and how they were developing as human beings. They knew that emotional bonding was very essential to the whole child. If on occasion they had to get someone to stay with the children, it was a responsible older woman from the same community who already knew the family. The rare occasions would have been to help a sick friend, to attend a funeral, to go to the doctor or hospital themselves, or some other real emergency. These dear mothers were used to taking their children everywhere and including them in their lives. The children were so used to being with their mothers that the family could go to stores and restaurants easily and without a lot of fuss. This is because of the bonding between parent and child.
It is possible that mothers want nannies because they see it is the way of life today. But one by one, this awful trend can be reversed. If you are thinking of getting a nanny, please try first to find homeschool mothers on the web and learn how to live at home with your children. There are many good blogs that share this wonderful plan.

A little Wolverhampton Male Stripper history!
Commonly referred to as Wolverhampton male strippers or Wolverhampton 'go-go boys', are those men who take off their clothes for women (and sometimes men) for a living and nowadays prefer to be called 'exotic male dancers. Wolverhampton's exotic dancers are a true art form with the human body that built Wolverhampton establishments. They work in places called Wolverhampton male strip clubs or Wolverhampton male strip joints, but their Wolverhampton bachelorette party or Wolverhampton bachelor party clientele prefers to call their business by the more elegant name of Wolverhampton male revue shows, commonly hosted at male strip clubs. The bottom line is that Wolverhampton Male strippers get paid to dance and entertain women with their suggestive moves and sexy bodies with as little clothing as possible and without getting arrested ENG! In locations where laws allow, they dance in completely nude strip clubs as well. Regardless of the style, the field of Wolverhampton stripping is dominated by Male strippers. Male strippers, Hunk-O-Mania, make up less than 1/3 of the professional stripping and adult entertainment community. Hunk-O-Mania and Muscle Men Male Strippers have locations in 23 cities throughout the United States. There are 100 times more Male strip clubs in the US than male strip clubs.
Back in the 14th century, anthropologists found the advent of erotic dancing (stripping) that began in the Middle East, in the art form of belly dancing and were only for women to perform. Not a thread of clothing was removed in these Wolverhampton Strip Clubs, but with the hip and pelvic furious movements, belly dancing was meant to induce pleasure of a sexual nature in men and became extremely popular in the Wolverhampton Nightlife Scene because, let's face it, sex sells. Audience members would throw coins at the dancers representing the first-time Male strippers for hire in Wolverhampton who were paid money for their erotic dancing and stripping services. They made trips with dollar bills, not coins, at these Male Strip Clubs and Stripper for hire bachelorette events. During this time, erotic male dancing was also common in the temples of India but in the form of sacred rituals. Male exotic dancers and Male Strippers in Wolverhampton are hired for private events, Wolverhampton bachelorette parties & Wolverhampton bachelorette parties, and also work at Male Strip Clubs in Wolverhampton in their spare time.
Wolverhampton Burlesque Shows
Forward to more modern times where erotic dancing and strippers have blossomed in Wolverhampton (more like exploded). From Wolverhampton to Great Britain in the late 1800s - early 1900s, with the rise of British burlesque homes, they influenced Strippers in Wolverhampton. An English dancer, comedian, actress, and theatrical producer became one of the most famous burlesque dancers on the stage in Wolverhampton! In the beginning, burlesque performances incorporated a whole act with a combination of music, singing, humor, dance, theatrics, and sexual innuendo; women undressing sensually were only a portion of the burlesque show. That Burlesque dancer is credited with bringing it to America in 1868 with her troupe of "British Blondes' performing in Wolverhampton theaters and performance houses. Her performances involved chorus lines of beautiful and scantily clad women that sometimes involved audience intimacy without any contact. No doubt, the burlesque industry in Wolverhampton quickly discovered that the main attraction was sex and it was included in the shows! Over time, burlesque shows began focusing mainly on suggestive sexual dances similar to what strippers do in Strip Clubs today. The routines turned very raunchy and girls became more uninhibited, the acts became more risqué. Of course, in the day and time, we are living in, thankfully strippers and strip clubs have become so mainstream, and not another thought is given to the sensual nature. Strip clubs today are just amazing places to have an incredibly fun time and hang out with friends while discovering some very sexy strippers!

It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish. Verticals, context blogs, explainers, those are the buzzwords of the news business. From some of the nation's oldest papers to the newest digital news startups, there's a rush to create sites that emphasize context rather than good old-fashioned scoops. The focus now is to blend fresh writing, number crunching and striking graphics. NPR's David Folkenflik reports on this evolution.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: Earlier this week at the celebration for the New York Times' new explanatory site, even the appetizers required explanation in exacting detail. I was offered a Brooklyn Bryant Moroccan pickled veggie flatbread.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: That is quite a mouthful.
FOLKENFLIK: The Upshot is the Times' new blog focusing primarily on politics and policy with a heavy diet of economics, too, yet in an informal tone.
DAVID LEONHARDT: One of the things that we've discovered over the years is that there's a big audience for that kind of conversational voice. Not dumbed down, but talking to people in the same language that they would use in everyday life.
FOLKENFLIK: That's David Leonhardt, a Pulitzer Prize-winning economics columnist who is now editor of the Upshot.
LEONHARDT: It allows for more direct questions and answers. What parts of Obamacare are working? What parts of Obamacare aren't working? What parts of education reform are working and not working? Who's ahead in a political campaign?
FOLKENFLIK: Readers have favored the paper's specialty blogs on health and Wall Street finance, but political obsessives flock to its number-crunching FiveThirtyEight blog, which, during the home stretch of the 2012 election, accounted for a staggering proportion of the paper's web traffic. The site and its creator, Nate Silver, have since left for the riches of ESPN, where the new FiveThirtyEight made its debut earlier this year.
And other context blogs have made splashes, too. The editors behind Wonkblog at The Washington Post decamped to create Vox.com, while The Post hired new editors and writers for Wonkblog. There's Atlantic's Quartz and Bloomberg's more modest QuickTake, too. Again, David Leonhardt.
LEONHARDT: Readers want more of this journalism than we're giving to them and, as a result, I think whether it's Vox, whether it's FiveThirtyEight, whether it's the Upshot or whether it's other sites that I'm sure are still going to come, I think we're still at the point at which if people do this well, they're going to succeed.
FOLKENFLIK: Leonhardt has hired scholars and reporters to write data-driven posts on areas of expertise stretching to technology and even food. At ESPN, Silver's FiveThirtyEight now routinely writes on sports, but recent articles have also informed readers when to hold out for lower airfares and what medical studies say about the use of paper toilet seat covers.
Vox's chief writers became known for coverage of healthcare and the economy, but have widened their lens.
SARA CLIFF: The thing that ties it all together is the approach that we're taking.
FOLKENFLIK: That's Sara Cliff. She used to report and edit for The Post's Wonkblog. Now, she's a senior editor at Vox.
CLIFF: You see already a variety in the different things that we cover from porn stars coming out to their parents to one about global warming. I wrote one recently about Vermont's efforts to set up a single pair system. And it's really easy to cast a wide net with explanatory journalism.
FOLKENFLIK: At Vox, recent headlines have included, "Your Odds of Getting Killed By An Asteroid Just Went Way Up" and "The Case Against Otters." Certainly, data-driven, certainly fun, certainly click bait. In fact, it's as though these digital ventures called verticals are competing with each other, Buzzfeed, Slate and Wikipedia all at once.
The journalists I talked to were all enthusiastic. More in-depth reporting, more context, more jobs, what's not to like, right? Yet there are limits to their enthusiasm. At that New York Times reception, I spoke to Andrew Revkin who runs the New York Times blog Dot Earth about global population growth and energy use.
Revkin likes what he has seen of Vox and the Upshot, but adds...
ANDREW REVKIN: I've had this sobering experience since about, well, almost 10 years. I've been writing about the social science of how people accept or reject information. You can have clear data, but people who are dug in on an issue just go out and select the data set that reinforced their predisposition.
FOLKENFLIK: That is, people relying on them to support their beliefs, not to challenge their views. Two blogs and two days later, I sat down with Dean Starkman, who runs the business section of the Columbia Journalism Review and is author of "The Watchdog That Didn't Bark" about the failures of journalism in warning the public about the global financial crisis.
DEAN STARKMAN: When you think about the financial crisis, it wasn't like there was an absence of data.
FOLKENFLIK: Starkman says transcripts showed that even the leaders of the Federal Reserve Board didn't see the financial collapse coming, despite all that data flowing to them. The story, he says, was only seen by others.
STARKMAN: These are reporters working on the streets of Roanoke and the streets of Pittsburgh. This story was something that had to be reported from the bottom up. The quality of these transactions under which these mortgages were made, that was only gettable through basically ground-up reporting, talking to people who were outside the system.
FOLKENFLIK: Yet, as newspapers slashed budgets, studies from the Pew Research Center and elsewhere showed that the number of American reporters doing that kind of local coverage is on the wane. Leonhardt of the New York Times says the Upshot and its competitors can't fix all of journalism's problems. He says they're filling one of its gaps. They're seeking to help readers understand how the world actually works, researching and writing away from the demands of daily deadline reporting one data-driven post at a time. David Folkenflik, NPR News, New York. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

FLORA LICHTMAN, BYLINE: Up next, more spacey news.
All right.
All right. Can't get enough?
LICHTMAN: Earlier this week, NASA announced plans to launch another rover to Mars in the year 2020. And there's some buzz, there's some speculation that this one could have a wheel up on Curiosity. Maybe it wouldn't just analyze samples there but could shift them back to Earth.
FLATOW: You know, I've heard that before.
LICHTMAN: Don't be downer, Ira.
FLATOW: I am not going to get - in fact, we're waiting for that to happen. It was supposed to happen. But on - I'm going to look on the positive side because the objectives of this new formation had not been decided to yet. And, you know, the entire project is still going to depend on NASA's funding in Congress.
FLATOW: We know what funding in Congress is like. So whatever let's ask our audience, right?
LICHTMAN: Yeah.
FLATOW: Let's ask them. What do you think? What exciting things - if they're building the Curiosity twin now, they haven't launched it yet, what do you want see on that baby? What do you want it to do maybe that the other, the Curiosity, is not doing? Or maybe we're too focused on Mars, you want to go some place else. What do you think?
LICHTMAN: 1-800-989-8255. 1-800-989-TALK. And let's introduce our guest who may actually be able to speak to this with authority. Jim Green is the director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. And he's joining us from a studio at NASA headquarters in D.C. Welcome to the show.
JIM GREEN: Well, thank you very much. It's a pleasure to participate in this great program.
LICHTMAN: What are the plans for this rover? So far, what do we do know? What should we expect?
FLATOW: What will you tell us?
GREEN: You know, I'll tell you anything I can about this rover, because we're really excited about the science rover that we have planned (unintelligible).
FLATOW: You have a name for it yet?
GREEN: No. We don't other than Mars 2020 science rover. That's pretty vanilla.
GREEN: But we have plenty of time to name it and move along. But this rover will have a major science objective. You know, we've been over the years developing a program where we look at Mars to find water, you know, sort of follow the water. It's one of those - this essential ingredients about life. And now, we know. Just about everywhere we look there are signs of past water and, in fact, we've even - we believe observed water emanating from aquifers down crater walls, that's been a really exciting discovery over just last year.
So from that perspective we're moving on. Following the water, the answer is we found it. And now, we're going to move into an era of seeking signs of life. You know, beyond Earth, we want to know if there are modern habitats elsewhere in the solar system where there are necessary conditions for life. That means organic matter, water, energy, nutrients - those things that allow life to develop and be sustained. And Mars actually used that - is that gem of a planet that's close by, that enable us actually to interrogate to find the answer to that question. And that's what (unintelligible).
FLATOW: And how will you find the answer to that? You're going to bring any of it back or send it back like the defunct Mars return mission that never happened? Or are you going to analyze it in greater depth? Or what are you going to do?
GREEN: OK. We're going to take a chapter out of what we've learned from the Apollo missions. And that is, indeed, be able to identify, and grab samples and bring those back. In fact, we're still analyzing lunar samples. We recognized that samples back from places like the moon and, of course, Mars provide us a scientific treasure throve of information that will only improve as instrumentation and our ability to interrogate it improves over time. And so...
FLATOW: Do you have a budget set this for this yet? Is there any money?
GREEN: Yes, we do. In fact, what we announced this week at the American Geophysical Union is what we would call an in guideline from the president's budget submission that he gave Congress in February of this year, a rover in 2020. Now, the ability to get it at a cost that we can afford is really predicated on tremendous effort that's going on with the successful landing of Curiosity. You know, being able to get one ton down on the surface in such unbelievable and fantastic way.
We're going to be able to reproduce most of that infrastructure changing up the experiments to where we really ago after the life issue, determine if life ever arose on Mars. Go after more of the potential organics that are there and to be able to cache samples, potentially return those in the future but certainly interrogate those, create those from coring into rocks or drilling under the soil, and get to a point where we're actually looking in the past of Mars to determine how that environment has really changed over time.
FLATOW: Jim Green, I want to thank you for taking time to be with us today. One more question for you, from Flora.
LICHTMAN: No. Stay on because we have - we want you to talk with our next guests too. So we've been talking about Mars, but there's also this really exciting news from Mercury this week. Last week in the journal Science, scientists reported that NASA's Messenger spacecraft found evidence of water ice on Mercury. Remember, Mercury is a scorcher, right? It's daytime temperature is 800 degrees. It's the closest...
GREEN: Yup.
LICHTMAN: ...planet to the sun. And yet it also harbors billions of tons of frozen water, these studies say.
FLATOW: Wow.
LICHTMAN: And our next guest is here to talk about this discovery. Matthew Siegler is a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and he's the co-author in one of the three papers about Mercury that appeared in the journal Science. Welcome to the show.
MATTHEW SIEGLER: Hi. How are you doing? I'm actually at the AGU conference that he was talking about earlier. We've heard, also, the neat, exciting stuff about planets this week.
FLATOW: Now, how was it possible that there can be so much water on this giant - on this teeny, hot planet?
SIEGLER: Oh, well, it's hot when it's under the sun. It's pretty cold when it's out of the sun and because Mercury has essentially no tilt, places near the poles can stay in permanent shadow and be hundreds of degrees below zero. So we're measuring things down to about 50 Kelvin or modeling things down to about 50 Kelvin. We don't actually measure any temperatures.
FLATOW: And there's a lot of water. Was I reading something about if you put it on the island of Manhattan it would be 10 - how many miles deep and spread out?
SIEGLER: Yeah, yeah. The one I liked was if you covered the Washington, D.C. area, it would be about two miles thick, probably, of ice. So it's pretty impressive.
FLATOW: Can we speed that up a little bit, covering that D.C. area?
LICHTMAN: Well, what about, you know, we've been talking about follow the water, follow the water. But here, seems like there's a lot of water. Why aren't we following this? You know, what's the case for Mars, Jim Green, over Mercury?
GREEN: Well, indeed Mercury is tough to get to. You know, it took us about six years to get Messenger launched and lining up and getting in orbit so that it could do the fantastic measurements that it's made, whereas Mars is much more accessible. We line up every 26 months so our trajectory can get to Mars quite easily in about a nine-month period.
FLATOW: This is SCIENCE FRIDAY, from NPR, talking with Jim Green and Matthew Siegler. Matthew, is there a - could there be a sweet spot in that shadow that gets really close to the sun but, you know...
SIEGLER: Oh, this is what everyone is asking about.
SIEGLER: So basically, you got to think about what happens to a water molecule on a body with no air, all right? So here it is. Maybe - we're - this ice we're measuring, we can only see in the top meter, so maybe it goes down 10 meters. We're really not sure yet. That would take future measurements. But if you're that close to the surface, if you get even a little bit warmer than about something like 100 Kelvin - so that's real cold, right - you're going to sublimate off into space in less than an Earth day. So these are pretty short time scales to survive around.
FLATOW: Mm-hmm. So no hope of finding any liquid water there.
LICHTMAN: But there was organic matter there, too, right?
SIEGLER: Yeah. So that's actually the really exciting thing from this. So the ice - we've, sort of, known that it's been there since about 1992 when we did radar measurements from (unintelligible). There has been this evidence that there was this flight reflective material down there. So the question was, was it really water ice? And the Messenger mission has been able to prove that. But it also had this laser altimeter that's been a surprise finding to it. It's just meant to measure topography
But it's all - it shot a laser at some of these areas where we predict that, thermally, there should be ice, stable at the surface. It's all bright stuff. But what was really neat was where ice should be under the surface, we saw black stuff. And when we looked at the temperatures that this should be stable under, there are a bunch of organic materials that we see on the surfaces of comets all over the solar system that fit this description perfectly, and not many other materials would do. So it's pretty cool.
FLATOW: So it could have been bombarded by comets and brought the water and the dark stuff there?
SIEGLER: Yeah, that's sort of neat to look at the origin of the water on Mercury. And we're predicting that it's most likely from comets, because we see a other material with it. And then that tells us a lot about how water came to the Earth, right? We think that the whole, you know, solar system should have been dry when the solar system formed out of a big cloud of gas and dust, right?
And so somehow the Earth has water and Mercury has water. The moon seems to have a little water. Where did this come from? And we're thinking in this in this paper series that comets might be a good source of that.
LICHTMAN: Is there any chance you could home grow water? I mean, does it have to be shipped in? Could you make it on the planet?
FLATOW: Could it outgas from the center of the planet somewhere or volcanoes or some...
SIEGLER: Yeah. And so the Earth, right, has more water inside of it than it does on the surface, so yeah, that could be a source. And so maybe it could tell us something about the internal structure of Mercury and then it had water vapor in there. But the fact that we see this other stuff with the water is strong evidence that this is water coming from somewhere else. We really have to land there and sample it and maybe bring it back, like Jim was talking about with Mars, to really answer some of these questions.
FLATOW: I see you writing the proposal as we speak.
SIEGLER: If I don't, someone will, right?
FLATOW: All right. Thank you, gentlemen, both of you. And good luck because we're going to wait for that mission - the return mission to Mars with a new post - maybe we can name it on SCIENCE FRIDAY. What do you think, let us help you out, Jim, do that?
GREEN: Oh, you've got to have me back and we'll discuss more of that and maybe we can do something.
FLATOW: All right.
LICHTMAN: We'll look forward to it.
FLATOW: And good luck to you, Matthew, in getting that mission to Mercury to go down and sample that.
SIEGLER: All right. Well, thanks for your interest in this forgotten planet.
FLATOW: Not anymore. You made the head of the news this week, so I think Mercury is in the news.
SIEGLER: Right. So that keeps it from being knocked off like Pluto, right?
FLATOW: Well, anytime the scientific word dark stuff is used, we know it's serious science going on.
SIEGLER: All right. Well, good.
FLATOW: Thanks a lot. Have a good weekend.
LICHTMAN: Thank you.
SIEGLER: All right. You too. Bye.
GREEN: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Renewal of the Tablets. 1The LORD said to Moses: "Cut two stone tablets like the former,a that I may write on them the words* which were on the former tablets that you broke. 2Get ready for tomorrow morning, when you are to go up Mount Sinai and there present yourself to me on the top of the mountain. 3No one shall come up with you, and let no one even be seen on any part of the mountain;b even the sheep and the cattle are not to graze in front of this mountain." 4Moses then cut two stone tablets like the former, and early the next morning he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him, taking in his hand the two stone tablets.
5The LORD came down in a cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the name, "LORD." 6So the LORD passed before him and proclaimed: The LORD, the LORD, a God gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love and fidelity,* 7continuing his love for a thousand generations, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin; yet not declaring the guilty guiltless, but bringing punishment for their parents' wickedness on children and children's children to the third and fourth generation!c 8Moses at once knelt and bowed down to the ground. 9Then he said, "If I find favor with you, Lord, please, Lord, come along in our company. This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins, and claim us as your own."
Religious Laws. 10The LORD said: Here is the covenant I will make. Before all your people I will perform marvels never before done* in any nation anywhere on earth, so that all the people among whom you live may see the work of the LORD. Awe-inspiring are the deeds I will perform with you! 11As for you, observe what I am commanding you today.d
See, I am about to drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12e Take care not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land that you are to enter; lest they become a snare among you. 13Tear down their altars; smash their sacred stones, and cut down their asherahs.* 14You shall not bow down to any other god, for the LORD—"Jealous"* his name—is a jealous God. 15Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land; else, when they prostitute themselves with their gods and sacrifice to them, one of them may invite you and you may partake of the sacrifice. 16And when you take their daughters as wives for your sons, and their daughters prostitute themselves with their gods, they will make your sons do the same.
17You shall not make for yourselves molten gods.f
18You shall keep the festival of Unleavened Bread.g For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you; for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
19To me belongs every male that opens the womb among all your livestock, whether in the herd or in the flock.h 20The firstling of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. The firstborn among your sons you shall redeem.
No one shall appear before me empty-handed.
21Six days you may labor,i but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the seasons of plowing and harvesting you must rest.
22j You shall keep the feast of Weeks with the first fruits of the wheat harvest, likewise, the feast of the Ingathering at the close of the year.* 23Three times a year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the LORD God of Israel. 24Since I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your territory, no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD, your God.
25You shall not offer me the blood of sacrifice with anything leavened, nor shall the sacrifice of the Passover feast be kept overnight for the next day.
26The choicest first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the LORD, your God.
You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.k
Radiance of Moses' Face. 27Then the LORD said to Moses: Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel. 28So Moses was there with the LORD for forty days and forty nights,l without eating any food or drinking any water, and he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.
29As Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant in his hands, he did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant* while he spoke with the LORD. 30When Aaron, then, and the other Israelites saw Moses and noticed how radiant the skin of his face had become, they were afraid to come near him. 31Only after Moses called to them did Aaron and all the leaders of the community come back to him. Moses then spoke to them. 32Later, all the Israelites came up to him, and he enjoined on them all that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai. 33When Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. 34Whenever Moses entered the presence of the LORD to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out again.m On coming out, he would tell the Israelites all that he had been commanded. 35Then the Israelites would see that the skin of Moses' face was radiant; so he would again put the veil over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
* [34:1] Words: a common term for commandments, especially the Decalogue (see v. 28). In v. 27 "words" connotes the commands given in vv. 11–26.
* [34:6] Gracious…fidelity: this succinct poetic description of God is an often-repeated statement of belief (see Nm 14:18; Ps 103:8; 145:8; Jl 2:13; Jon 4:2). All the terms describe God's relationship to the covenant people.
* [34:10] Never before done: lit., "created." The verb used here (Heb. bara') is predicated only of God (see Gn 1:1, 21, 27; Ps 51:12). These wonders are a new creation and can be performed only by God.
* [34:13] Asherah was the name of a Canaanite goddess. In her honor wooden poles (asherot) were erected, just as stone pillars (massebot) were erected in honor of the god Baal. Both were placed near the altar in a Canaanite shrine.
* [34:14] Jealous: see note on 20:5. Some, by a slight emendation, render, "The Lord is jealous for his name." Cf. Ez 39:25.
* [34:22] Feast of Weeks: the festival of thanksgiving for the harvest, celebrated seven weeks or fifty days after the beginning of the harvest. It was also called Pentecost (fiftieth) and coincided with the giving of the law on Mount Sinai, fifty days after the offering of the first fruits; cf. Lv 23:10–11; Dt 16:9. Feast of the Ingathering: feast of Booths.
* [34:29] Radiant: the Hebrew word translated "radiant" is spelled like the term for "horns." Thus the artistic tradition of portraying Moses with horns.
c. [34:6–7] Ex 20:5–6; Nm 14:18; Dt 5:9–10; Jer 32:18.
e. [34:12–16] Ex 23:32–33; Dt 7:1–5; 12:2–3.
g. [34:18] Ex 12:15–20; 13:3–4.
h. [34:19–20] Ex 13:2, 12–13; 23:15.
j. [34:22–23] Ex 23:16–17; Dt 16:10, 13, 16.
l. [34:28] Ex 24:18; Dt 9:9, 18; 10:2, 4.
m. [34:33–34] 2 Cor 3:13, 16.

How Online Slots Revolutionized the Slots World
- AlexJones

- 644
No more than five years ago the only way a person could play daftar situs judi slot online terpercaya was to get in a car and drive to a casino. Sure, there might have been a slots machine in a bar down the street but you certainly wouldn't be able to find the selection that you can find in a casino, and for any real slots player it's all about selection and variety. But for a lot of people the only way to get to a casino is to drive for hours, not every city has a casino after all, and in some areas slot machines aren't allowed anywhere else.
When the internet came along it was obvious to all of us slots players that the ability to use it to provide slots to people at home was definitely going to eventually happen. It just couldn't happen quickly enough. Luckily, it wasn't long before the first online casino started showing up, and slots fans were able to spin the reels right in front of their computers.
This online slots revolution changed the slots world in a couple key ways. First, people saved a lot of money. Not having to get in the car and drive to a casino meant that slots players didn't have to spend money on gas. What's more players didn't have to spend money on casino food. The cash that slots goers were able to save from driving and restaurant food spending was now available for reinvestment into the reels. This meant being able to play longer. And playing longer means more chances to win.
The other thing that changed was that players were now able to try many more kinds of slots in a shorter period of time. This gave slots players the opportunity to improve their slots skills over a wider range of machines which also eventually led to more winnings.
The bottom line is that online slots gave slots players the chance to play more and improve their skills, which led to more winnings. Today, online slots players are winning more often and consistently winning bigger pots. Being able to play anytime anywhere, and in the comfort of your own home is also an advantage of online slots that has really changed the slots world. Not all slots players enjoy the atmosphere of a casino, yes it's exciting but if you like to play a lot of slots, spending all those hours in a casino can be a little stressful. Playing slots online in the comfort of your home means you can focus more on developing your skills. Online slots meant more winnings for more players and that was a good thing.

We sincerely thank you for shopping vintage and helping prove fashion can be eco-friendly. Small steps make big change!
Just so you know...
Our Size Guide
Domno Vintage stocks a large variety of clothing brands each with its own unique sizing guide. The fit of garments will vary depending on the cut, style and fabric used.
To help you with your shopping experience and give you the upmost confidence in your purchases we have provided measurements for all our items.
Firstly, we take a pit to pit measurement by laying the garment flat, face up and measuring the cloth from its widest point from under the armpit to the other armpit.
Then we take the length measurement by laying the item flat on the ground. The measurement is taken from the highest part of the shoulder straight down to the hem of the item at its longest point.
The listing description look like this:
Pit to pit: | 23″ |
Shoulder to bottom: | 25″ |
To ensure your purchase fits perfectly we recommend measuring a piece of clothing that fits well and using this as a guide.
If you need any further help please done hesitate to get in touch.
How can I ensure it will fit me properly?
To help you find the ideal fit, we provide detailed measurements and sizing information for each vintage piece:
Recommended Size
We specify the recommended size based on actual garment measurements, not just the labeled size which can be inaccurate due to variations across brands and shrinkage over time.
Fit Description
We include a 'How it Fits' description (e.g. boxy, oversized, snug) to give you a better understanding of the intended fit for the recommended size.
Pit to Pit Measurement
This is the measurement across the chest, taken flat from underarm to underarm at the widest point.
Shoulder to Bottom Measurement
The length measurement from the highest shoulder point straight down to the bottom hem.
Using these four guides
To get an initial sense of fit, refer to the recommended size and fit description we provide. Then, to confirm the perfect fit, compare the pit to pit and shoulder to hem measurements against a similar garment you already own that fits well.
What if it doesn't fit how I'd like?
If an item doesn't fit quite as you'd hoped, don't worry. We offer a simple returns process, allowing you to return your purchase for a full refund. Our goal is to make sure you're completely satisfied with your vintage finds. See here on how to return an item.
What will the quality be like?
All our vintage pieces are carefully inspected by our team to ensure they meet our high standards for quality. We mostly only offer items in excellent condition, however if there are flaws they will be clearly shown in the products images.
Are the clothes washed?
Absolutely. All vintage clothing we list has first been washed at our HQ and then listed onto our site. This extra step isn't carried out by some retailers, but we deem it crucial so you can enjoy your new pieces straight out of the package.
