Performing Basic Searches
You can search very easily in Primo. Just type one or more words that you are looking for and click the
button. If you enter multiple words, Primo will return results that contain all of the specified terms.
Once you are familiar with the basic Primo search, you might want to try doing more with the Search panel or use the Advanced Search option (see
Performing Advanced Searches
). Both of these options offer numerous features for making your searches more precise and enable you to get results that are more useful.
You may search for titles using ISBNs and ISSNs with or without hyphens. If you are not getting expected results with hyphens, please try your search again without hyphens.
How Can I Do More with the Search Panel?
You can do more than just a simple search with the Search panel by placing the following operators between words or phrases:
, and
. Searches with multiple operators are processed in the following order, from left to right:
( )
– Parentheses allow you to group search terms and alter the order of precedence. For more information, see
Grouping Terms Within a Query
– left-to-right precedence is used in case of multiple operators.
– left-to-right precedence is used in case of multiple operators.
Although operators provide greater control over the search, the full search string is no longer treated as a phrase and search enhancements (such as inflection of a phrase based on correlation statistics) will not be applied to the query. For example, the following queries are treated differently even though they appear to be identical:
honey bee communication
– Primo treats the entire query as a phrase and returns results in which all of the words may be closer together.
honey bee AND communication
– Primo treats
honey bee
as separate phrases and returns results in which both phrases may not be as close together.
For information on specifying exact phrases, see
Searching for a Phrase
Primo assumes that you are searching for all of the words unless you type
between words and phrases.
For right-to-left languages (such as Hebrew), the precedence is right-to-left.
Searches are not case-sensitive.
To become familiar with the operators and get the best results from your searches, refer to the following sections:
Searching for a Phrase
Searching for Any Specified Words or Phrases
Excluding Words or Phrases
Searching Using Wildcard Characters
Grouping Terms Within a Query
Selecting Your Search Scope
Using the Primo Central Search Scope
Searching for a Phrase
To search for an exact phrase, type quotation marks around the phrase. You can combine both words and phrases in your search.
If you do not enclose the phrase with quotation marks, the system will find items that contain the individual words in the phrase, regardless of whether these words are located next to each other in the order specified.
For example, to search for global warming as one term, type the following in the search box:
Searching for Any Specified Words or Phrases
You can search for items that contain at least one of the words or phrases you type in the Search box. To do so, type
between the words or phrases.
If you search for words or phrases without specifying
, Primo assumes that you are searching for all the specified words or phrases.
For example, to search for items with the word
or the word
, type the following in the search box:
To use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) within search phrases, you must enter them in uppercase letters. Otherwise, Primo removes them and performs a simple search that includes all search phrases.
Excluding Words or Phrases
You can exclude items that contain specific words or phrases. To do so, type
and then type the word or phrase to exclude.
If you search for words or phrases without specifying
, Primo assumes that you are searching for all of the specified words or phrases.
For example, to search for items with the word
and exclude any of these items with the word
, type the following in the search box:
If parentheses are not used for a query that contains multiple operators, it is recommended that you use the
operator last to ensure that results are excluded from the entire query. For example:
cycling AND safety NOT helmet
. If it is necessary to place the
operator elsewhere, make sure that you enclose the operation with parentheses. For example:
(cycling NOT safety) OR helmet
Searching Using Wildcard Characters
You can include the following wildcard characters in your searches:
– enter a question mark to perform a single character wildcard search. For example, type
to search for records that contain the strings
, and so forth.
– enter an asterisk to perform a multiple character wildcard search. For example, type
to search for records that contain strings, such as
, and
The system ignores wildcard characters placed at the beginning of search terms. For example, the system treats the search terms
as if you had searched for
Grouping Terms Within a Query
You can use parentheses to group terms to clarify the order of multiple operators specified in a query.
Example 1: The following query searches for records that contain
and either
When using more than one operator, it is strongly recommended to use parentheses to clarify precedence. For example, if no parentheses are specified in the above query, Primo will apply the precedence rules (see
precedence rules
) and instead group the words
as follows:
After the results are returned, Primo will display the altered query in the search box so that you can decide whether to modify and re-execute your query to get expected results.
Example 2: The following query searches for records that contain either
and do not contain
If no parentheses are specified in the above query, Primo will apply the precedence rules and instead group the words
as follows:
Selecting Your Search Scope
The search scope defines where the system should perform the search. A default search scope is predefined based on your login, usually corresponding to your major field of study or some other criteria set up by the institution. However, you can change the scope of your search by selecting a search scope from the drop-down list as shown in the following example.
Using the Primo Central Search Scope
Primo Central is a centralized search index that encompasses tens of millions of records of global or regional significance that are harvested from primary and secondary publishers and aggregators. To search from these resources, select the
Primo Central
search scope or a search scope that includes it.
If you want to receive results for Primo Central items that do not contain full text, select the Expand beyond library collections check box.
Performing Advanced Searches
The Advanced Search page allows you to create more complex searches by combining multiple search boxes, which are separated by an operator.
Advanced Search Options
In addition to the capabilities provided with the basic search (see
Performing Basic Searches
), you can specify the following options:
Field selector – For each search box, this parameter allows you to narrow the search to all search fields or a particular field (such as title and subject).
Search type – For each search box, this parameter indicates whether the phrases in your query are treated as phrases or exact phrases. The following values are valid:
is (exact)
– Returns results that contain phrases that exactly match the phrases specified in the query.
– Returns results that contain all words in the phrase, but the words may be in a different order and may not be as close together.
starts with
– Returns results that contain words that start with the specified string.
Operators – As with basic searches, you can include the following operators between words and phrases in each search box:
, and
. In addition, the
drop-down list allows you to select the operation that is used between search boxes. For more information on operator precedence, see
Precedence Rules
If your query includes operators that separate phrases in which one or both of the phrases contain multiple words, Primo will use parentheses to group the words in each multiple-word phrase. For example, Primo will convert the query
Donald Duck OR Disney
(Donald Duck) OR Disney
to distinguish it from the following query:
Donald (Duck OR Disney)
Filters – Advanced searches allow you to apply various filters (such as material type and date ranges) to your initial queries.
In the following example, matching records must contain either the words
or the words
in the title, and the subject of the records must not have the exact phrase
Amusement Parks
. From the matching records, only the English articles are displayed in the results.
Advanced Search Example with Operators
Using Browse
The Browse search allows you to browse library material (local material only) in order to find information of relevance quickly. You can browse material by author, title, and subject. In the results, you can click an underlined entry to see its associated records. It is also possible to browse by call number, which returns a list of associated records in brief format. Clicking a title displays its full record.
Example Browse Results by Title

ETCSLtranslation : t.2.5.4.01 |
Segment A1-23. Enlil, by far …… 24-42. He whose …… strengthens the boundaries of heaven and earth, whose utterances unite them; lord whose ominous silence pervades the foreign lands, whose actions are spine-chilling, whose complex judgments cannot be revealed by anyone, whose knowledge is honoured by the foreign lands, whose strength is a great battle-net …… the foreign lands, a fine-mesh battle-net …… covering the disobedient; indefatigable …… in heaven, in possession of every one of the divine powers in their totality, linking together the ancient plans; south wind which covers the four quarters; Enlil, whose …… cannot be grasped, whose fame is enough to make people quake; Enlil, great in heaven, surpassing on earth, exceptional and wide-reaching in Sumer, Nunamnir, lord of princes, king of kings! He determined a good destiny in the holy city for me, Išme-Dagan, son of Dagan. 43-52. He named me with a favourable name even when my seed was inserted into the womb. Nintur stood by at my birth, and she established the office of en for me ……, even when my umbilical cord was cut. Enlil, my principal deity, bestowed on me the shepherdship of Sumer, and assigned to me a tireless protective goddess, adding also therewith a correct stature. 53-75. His splendour …… the mountains, and his roar reaches beyond heaven and earth. He selected me from my people, and announced me to the Land. Enlil, king of the gods, gave me lordship over the south and over the uplands. At Nunamnir's instigation, An spoke encouragingly to me, and placed crook and staff in my hands. Uraš nursed me on her holy knees. In the Ki-ur, the great place, Ninlil in her radiant heart determined as my destiny that I should sit on an exalted dais until distant days, to enjoy in favour the reign which is my lot; that I should delight Enlil, and that I should daily attend to the E-kur. Enki, the great lord of Eridug, confirmed for me the good and great crown, …… everything, and richly conferred on me seven wisdoms. Suen, the firstborn son of Enlil, …… for me a royal throne that gathers together the divine powers, established an excellent lordly dais, and made my crown shine brilliantly until distant days. 76-89. Nuska, Enlil's minister, placed the royal sceptre in my hand, revealed the powers of E-kur to me, established there for me an awe-inspiring podium, and ensured that Enlil's heart was in a joyful mood. Ninurta, Enlil's mighty warrior, approached Nunamnir in speech on my behalf and secured (?) the favourable words of Enlil and Ninlil for me. He has made my reign of kingship excellent, has made me great in lordship, and is indeed my helper. In E-kur he prays continually on my behalf, and is indeed the constable of my kingship. He, who with mighty weapons makes all the foreign countries bow low, has put great power …… into my right hand. 90-99. Utu put justice and reliable words in my mouth. To make judgments, to reach decisions, to lead the people aright, to excel in rectitude, to keep the righteous on the track and to destroy the wicked, so that each man should speak justice to his brother, should make obeisance to his father, should not speak contrary words to his elder sister, and should respect his mother; so that the weak should not be handed over to the strong, so that the feeble should ……; so that the strong should not do just what he pleases, and so that one man should not be assigned to another (through debt) ; to destroy wickedness and violence, and to make righteousness flourish -- all this Utu, the son born to Ningal, made my apportioned share. 100-111. Inana, the lady of heaven and earth ……, chose me as her beloved spouse. She put attractiveness in my waist-belt (?), looking at me with her life-giving look, as she lifted her radiant forehead to me, to make me step onto the flowery bed. She has uttered her unalterable holy word for me to spend long, long days in the ĝipar, combining the priestly office of en with the kingship and caring unceasingly for E-ana, and for my neck to become thick like a wild bull's in Unug as my splendour covers Kulaba. 112-132. Enki and Ninki, Enul and Ninul, the Anuna, the lords who determine destiny there, the spirits of Nibru, and the protective goddesses of the E-kur, those who among the great gods determine destinies there, have uttered an unchangeable "So be it!" On his most favourable day, Enlil, king of the foreign lands, chose me, Išme-Dagan, son of Dagan, by extispicy. He looked upon me joyfully in E-kur, and spoke well of me to Sumer. …… a favourable reign in Nibru. I, Išme-Dagan …… restored Urim ……. …… in splendour. Enlil has commanded the favourable …… of my throne, the promotion of concord in Sumer and Akkad in their power, and restoration (?) of the …… brick buildings; and that I should daily tend the E-kur, that I should unceasingly provide for Nibru, and that I should care after the Ki-ur, the great place. 133-159. I, Išme-Dagan, have bent my neck to the commands of Father Enlil; I have paid attention to the utterances of my master. I have established justice in Sumer; I have secured (?) Nibru like heaven itself. I have gathered together the divine powers of the E-kur, I have paid attention to its old ordinances, and I have restored its neglected rites. I, Išme-Dagan, have ……. Enlil's very precious divine powers. …… Ninlil's ……. …… the interior of E-kur …… good, …… its exterior. ……, when I venerate ……. …… Enlil and ……, its favourable spirits in the courtyard, and I introduced its favourable protective goddesses into the E-kur. I have presented marvellous food offerings to Enlil. In the …… of Enlil, established with bread, …… great regular offerings, I made numerous the fat bulls and fat sheep, ……, fish and birds, in the house of my master. I made them smell tasty in the great ovens. I contested ……. With …… I doubled (?) the regular offerings. Like water I poured out …… and liquor in unadulterated strength, from the offerings storeroom, like the rainwater that is released from heaven. 160-182. An brought Ninkasi along with him …… to its ……, and I libated delicious …… beer, mixed with aromatic cedar essence, over the brickwork of E-kur. Daily I made the E-kur like a harvest-place, and each month on its seventh and fifteenth days I made the temple festive. Both inside and outside the house, like ……, I spread the scent of ……. 183-195. I bring great gladness to the city whose interior and exterior are as blue-green as the sky, Nibru, the mooring pole of heaven and earth. I have exempted its labourers from carrying earth in baskets, and I have freed its troops from fighting. I have released its gold, silver, cattle and sheep, the tribute of the citizens of Nibru. As for the temple of Enlil my master, for Ninlil, and for Ninurta, the mighty hero of Enlil, I have exempted their labourers from service. Filtered beer (?), barley, oil and sheep's wool have been made a tithe. I …… Sumer and Akkad. I …… wickedness and violence, and established justice in Sumer and Akkad. I am the shepherd who loves justice. I am born of Sumer, a son of Nibru. 196-199. I am one who is always for ……. I am wise-eyed, of refined intelligence. I am full of advice, energetic in ……. I am all-knowing, singled out from the people. 200-223. I am a judge who gives no explanations; I am a decision-maker who goes straight to the point. The strong does not behave extravagantly towards others, the mighty does not abuse the weak any more. People are not made subject to the lordly. If he does not wish to enter my presence (?) in holy ……, the feeble person may speak contrary words ……. …… slave of my city. …… of Enlil. Sumer and Akkad …… 224-235. The foreign lands gaze at me, Išme-Dagan, as if at their father who engendered them. When like Utu I decide a just verdict, the people bring their prayers to the holy shrines (?). As I establish and realise my powerful statements, advise the people and strengthen the palace, who is to challenge my powerful statements? …… the foreign lands, their people ……. I snatch men from the jaws of destruction. 236-250. Išme-Dagan, born for heaven, chosen by the heart -- I am kind like a father, attentive (?) like a mother. I am a lofty wall, the encouragement of the Land. I am a tall meš tree with thick roots, and broad shining branches. I am the canopy of Sumer, a pleasant shade; I am a place which even a tall person cannot reach. I am the helper of the troops, the focal point of the Land. I am a warrior on the way to battle, I am a powerful runner who goes like the north wind. I am wise …… superior in every respect. I am a belligerent wild bull, kicking up the dust everywhere; I am a battering ram, ……. I stand in the forefront of the shields. I am the hero of heroes, with the strength of a battle-mace, as I smite the rebel lands right and left. 251-256. I am gold dust, I am lapis lazuli in its lode, I light the Land like a lamp. I am the good semen of kingship, the seed of rulership. I am the scion of a cedar, a forest of cypresses. I am boxwood decorated with …… attractiveness. I delight (?) the gods ……. 257-273. In accordance with the great destiny decided by Father Enlil, my battle-cry overspreads the remotest parts of the mountains. In the rebel cities no one approaches me or fixes their weapons against me. They bring (?) their tribute spontaneously at Enlil's command. …… to the mountains. …… nir-igi stone, cornelian, …… stone, {…… their stones} {(some mss. have instead the line:) …… time-consuming labour, ……, labour for the king}. For me the black-headed bring great timbers …… to the Land, while Dilmun bestows lavishly on me its linen, dates and date spadices. The Martu, who know no houses, who know no cities -- primitives who live in the hills -- bring me row upon row of woolly alum sheep. From the upland mountains, from the …… places, cedar, zabalum, cypress and boxwood were together brought to me. Enlil, my master, who batters the foreign lands into submission, kept the people on a single track, and made them unanimous for me, who am all for Enlil, who am the beloved of E-kur. 274-296. Since the time when Sumer and Akkad had been dispersed, no king had introduced a statue into the shining E-kur of Enlil or into the E-ĝa-ĝiš-šua beside Ninlil. Enlil opened the E-namtila to me from his loving heart. In the E-kur I arranged the great treasures, and allocated durable treasuries. For Enlil my master, I erected a throne whose form was beyond form itself. I stood the throne of Ninlil in the E-ĝa-ĝiš-šua in the Ki-ur, the great place. The throne of Enlil is not to be removed from there. I, Išme-Dagan, son of Dagan, stood the throne for Enlil my master on a dais …… of seven storms, decorated in a masterly and highly skilled manner with nir-igi and šuba stones and translucent lapis lazuli, and I seated Enlil there with my lady Ninlil.

My boundaries are marked, my borders are fixed; my embankments are piled up, my irrigation ditches are ……. …… at which the foreign lands bow down; it is wool from the highlands ……. 359-377. That the scribal art, in the place of skilled craftsmanship, …… power; that I have understood the contents of tablets, counting and reckoning in all their depth and breadth, checking, coefficients, establishing the surface of a field, and laying out the reed measuring-pole; that I have …… on the podium, my chosen place; that I have learnt with my talented hands, my pure hands, to write the tablets of Sumer and Akkad; that I have lent lustre to the academy by completely mastering the reed stylus and the scribal art; that I have devoted myself to the art of singing, and know the occasions when praise songs are to be sung; that I am eminent in the performance style for …… songs; that I know how to intersperse appropriate words with the accompaniment of the fingers and instruments; that I have mastered the drumsticks, the sa-eš, the sabitum, the ḫarḫar and the zanaru instruments; that I have {occupied myself with} {(1 ms. has instead:) completely mastered} the developed aspects of the art of singing and the recondite points of …… songs -- all these things the scholars and the composers of my …… songs have put in my great songs and have declared in my hymns. 378-383. The powerful king ……, if he stands by Enlil with upraised hands, should swear in the name of the gods ……. Everything that is in my odes, or which is written on my stela, is definitely not false, but genuine! Reverence for me should be in every mouth. 384-393.

1* Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak;
let the earth hear the words of my mouth!a
2May my teaching soak in like the rain,
and my utterance drench like the dew,
Like a downpour upon the grass,
like a shower upon the crops.
3For I will proclaim the name of the LORD,
praise the greatness of our God!
4The Rock—how faultless are his deeds,
how right all his ways!
A faithful God, without deceit,
just and upright is he!b
5Yet his degenerate children have treated him basely,
a twisted and crooked generation!c
6Is this how you repay the LORD,
so foolish and unwise a people?
Is he not your father who begot you,
the one who made and established you?d
7Remember the days of old,
consider the years of generations past.
Ask your father, he will inform you,
your elders, they will tell you:e
8When the Most High allotted each nation its heritage,
when he separated out human beings,f
He set up the boundaries of the peoples
after the number of the divine beings;*
9But the LORD's portion was his people;
his allotted share was Jacob.g
10He found them in a wilderness,
a wasteland of howling desert.
He shielded them, cared for them,
guarded them as the apple of his eye.h
11As an eagle incites its nestlings,
hovering over its young,
So he spread his wings, took them,
bore them upon his pinions.i
12The LORD alone guided them,
no foreign god was with them.j
13k He had them mount the summits of the land,*
fed them the produce of its fields;
He suckled them with honey from the crags
and olive oil from the flinty rock;
14Butter from cows and milk from sheep,
with the best of lambs;
Bashan* bulls and goats,
with the cream of finest wheat;
and the foaming blood of grapes you drank.
15So Jacob ate and was satisfied,
Jeshurun* grew fat and kicked;
you became fat and gross and gorged.
They forsook the God who made them
and scorned the Rock of their salvation.l
16With strange gods they incited him,
with abominations provoked him to anger.m
17They sacrificed to demons, to "no-gods,"
to gods they had never known,
Newcomers from afar,
before whom your ancestors had never trembled.
18You were unmindful of the Rock that begot you,
you forgot the God who gave you birth.n
19The LORD saw and was filled with loathing,
provoked by his sons and daughters.o
20He said, I will hide my face from them,
and see what becomes of them.
For they are a fickle generation,
children with no loyalty in them!p
21Since they have incited me with a "no-god,"
and provoked me with their empty idols,
I will incite them with a "no-people";*
with a foolish nation I will provoke them.q
22For by my wrath a fire is kindled
that has raged to the depths of Sheol,
It has consumed the earth with its yield,
and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.r
23I will heap evils upon them
and exhaust all my arrows against them:s
24Emaciating hunger and consuming fever
and bitter pestilence,
And the teeth of wild beasts I will send among them,
with the venom of reptiles gliding in the dust.t
25Out in the street the sword shall bereave,
and at home the terror
For the young man and the young woman alike,
the nursing babe as well as the gray beard.u
26I said: I will make an end of them
and blot out their name from human memory,
27Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy,
that their foes might misunderstand,
And say, "Our own hand won the victory;
the LORD had nothing to do with any of it."v
28For they are a nation devoid of reason,*
having no understanding.
29If they had insight they would realize this,
they would understand their end:
30"How could one rout a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless it was because their Rock sold them,
the LORD delivered them up?"
31Indeed, their "rock" is not like our Rock;
our enemies are fools.
32For their vine is from the vine of Sodom,
from the vineyards of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are grapes of poison,
and their clusters are bitter.w
33Their wine is the venom of serpents,
the cruel poison of vipers.
34Is not this stored up with me,
sealed up in my storehouses?
35Vengeance is mine and recompense,
for the time they lose their footing;
Because the day of their disaster is at hand
and their doom is rushing upon them!x
36Surely, the LORD will do justice for his people;
on his servants he will have pity.
When he sees their strength is gone,
and neither bond nor free* is left,y
37He will say, Where are their gods,z
the rock in whom they took refuge,
38Who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their libations?
Let them rise up now and help you!
Let them be your protection!
39See now that I, I alone, am he,
and there is no god besides me.
It is I who bring both death and life,
I who inflict wounds and heal them,
and from my hand no one can deliver.a
40For I raise my hand to the heavens
and will say: As surely as I live forever,
41When I sharpen my flashing sword,
and my hand lays hold of judgment,
With vengeance I will repay my foes
and requite those who hate me.b
42I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and my sword shall devour flesh—
With the blood of the slain and the captured,
from the long-haired heads of the enemy.
43Exult with him, you heavens,
bow to him, all you divine beings!
For he will avenge the blood of his servants,
take vengeance on his foes;
He will requite those who hate him,
and purge his people's land.c
44So Moses, together with Hoshea,* son of Nun, went and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.d
Final Appeal. 45When Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel, 46he said to them,e Take to heart all the words that I am giving in witness against you today, words you should command your children, that they may observe carefully every word of this law. 47For this is no trivial matter for you, but rather your very life; by this word you will enjoy a long life on the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.f
Moses Looks upon Canaan. 48On that very day the LORD said to Moses, 49Ascend this mountain of the Abarim,* Mount Nebo in the land of Moab facing Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as a possession.g 50Then you shall die on the mountain you are about to ascend, and shall be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor* and there was gathered to his people,h 51because both of you broke faith with me among the Israelites at the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin: you did not manifest my holiness among the Israelites.* i 52You may indeed see the land from a distance, but you shall not enter that land which I am giving to the Israelites.j
* [32:1–43] The whole song is a poetic sermon, having for its theme the Lord's benefits to Israel (vv. 1–14) and Israel's ingratitude and idolatry in turning to the gods of the nations; these sins will be punished by the nations themselves (vv. 15–29); in turn, the foolish pride of the nations will be punished, and the Lord's honor will be vindicated (vv. 30–43).
* [32:8] Divine beings: lit., "sons of God" (see also v. 43); members of the divine assembly; cf. 1 Kgs 22:19; Jb 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; Ps 82; 89:6–7. The nations are portrayed as having their respective tutelary deities.
* [32:13] The land: Canaan.
* [32:14] Bashan: a fertile grazing land east of the Jordan, famous for its sleek, strong cattle. Cf. Ps 22:13; Ez 39:18; Am 4:1.
* [32:15] Jeshurun: a term for Israel from yashar, meaning "upright"; its use here is possibly ironic.
* [32:21] "No-god"…"no-people": worship of the gods of the nations brings destruction at the hands of a foreign invader. A false god cannot sustain or protect (cf. Jer 14:22); and though the nations seem "foolish" (see their characterization in such passages as Ps 114:1; Is 28:11; 33:19), they will prove to be anything but nonentities when the Lord stirs them up against Israel (Is 9:10–12). For the "no-" or "not-" construction, see Hos 1:6, 9; 2:1, 25.
* [32:28–35] The reference is to the nations, not to Israel.
* [32:36] Neither bond nor free: an all-inclusive expression; cf. 1 Kgs 14:10; 2 Kgs 9:8.
* [32:44] Hoshea: a variant of "Joshua." Cf. note on Nm 13:16.
* [32:49] Abarim: probably the mountain range to the east of the Dead Sea.
* [32:50] Mount Hor: on the western border of Seir or Edom; cf. Nm 20:23–28; 33:37–38. Dt 10:6 locates elsewhere the place of Aaron's death.

Don't want to take my word for it, read this article from Florida realtors , gives you great insight and call me .
U.S. new-home sales jump to highest in 4½ years
WASHINGTON (AP) – Feb. 26, 2013 – U.S. new-home sales jumped in January from the previous month to the highest level since July 2008, a sign that the housing recovery is accelerating.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that new-home sales rose nearly 16 percent in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 437,000. The percentage increase was the largest in nearly 20 years. And December's sales were revised higher to 378,000 from 369,000.
Steady job creation and near-record-low mortgage rates are spurring more Americans to buy houses. Sales of previously occupied homes rose to the highest level in five years last year.
At the same time, the number of previously occupied homes for sale is at a 13-year low. That shortage creates more demand for new homes. Builders began construction on the most houses and apartments in four years last year.
The supply of new homes for sale was unchanged last month at 150,000. That's barely above August's total of 143,000 – the smallest supply of new homes on records dating back to 1963.
At the current sales pace, it would take just 4.1 months to exhaust the number of new homes for sale, the lowest in eight years. Low inventories should encourage more construction.
Though new homes represent less than 20 percent of the housing sales market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to data from the National Association of Homebuilders.
The increase in home building has helped boost construction hiring. The industry has gained 98,000 jobs since September, the best stretch since the spring of 2006.
Still, the increases in new-home sales are coming from depressed levels. Sales plummeted to a record low in 2011. And sales are still well below the 700,000 annual level that economists consider healthy.
The biggest gain in new-home sales was in the West, where they soared 45.3 percent. The supply of previously occupied homes in that region has fallen sharply. Sales jumped 27.6 percent in the Northeast, 11.1 percent in the Midwest but only 3.2 percent in the South.
A separate report Tuesday showed that home prices accelerated in December. The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 6.8 percent in December compared with the same month a year earlier. That's up from November's 5.5 percent gain over the previous November.
Rising home prices can fuel the housing recovery by encouraging people to buy before prices increase further. They can also bring more sellers off the sidelines.
Higher home values also make homeowners feel wealthier, building confidence and encouraging more spending. And banks are more likely to provide mortgage loans if they are confident that home prices are rising

In what may come as a pleasant surprise to people who fear the Facebook generation has given up on reading — or, at least, reading anything longer than 140 characters — a new report from the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project reveals the prominent role of books, libraries and technology in the lives of young readers, ages 16 to 29. Kathryn Zickuhr, the study's main author, joins NPR's David Greene to discuss the results.
Interview Highlights
On the reading habits of young Americans
"We found that about 8 in 10 Americans under the age of 30 have read a book in the past year. And that's compared to about 7 in 10 adults in general, American adults. So, they're reading — they're more likely to read, and they're also a little more likely to be using their library."
On the use of e-books among young readers
"We heard from e-book readers in general [that] they don't want e-books to replace print books. They see them as part of the same general ecosystem; e-books supplement their general reading habits. And we heard from a lot of younger e-book readers about how e-books just fit into their lives — how they can read when they're waiting in line for class, or waiting in line for lunch. One reader in particular told us that when he has a book that he loves, he wants to be able to access it in any format. So with the Harry Potter series and the [Song of Ice and Fire] series, he's actually bought all of those books as print books and as e-books, just because they matter that much to him ...
"We haven't seen for younger readers that e-books are massively replacing print books. That might happen in the future, but right now we're just seeing them sort of as a more convenient supplement."
On the changing role of libraries for young readers
"We found that [younger people are] very interested in the idea of preloaded e-readers — being able to check out an e-reader at a library that already has some popular titles on it. And a lot of libraries are really looking at how they can engage with this younger age group, especially with Americans in their teens and early 20s. And so a lot of libraries are looking at ways to sort of give them their own space in the libraries, have activities just for them. Some libraries even have diner-style booths for the teens where they can just socialize and hang out, and so that they can think of the library as a space of their own."

Housing trends come and go – some we're happy to see sitting at the curb, others we decide to keep around longer. Architects, designers and builders see these trends coming long before we do and we thought it might be fun to take a look at some of what we can expect to see in 2018's new homes.
1. Not tiny, but smaller
While Gen X is shopping for larger, move-up homes, both baby boomers and millennials are on the hunt for smaller homes.
Because of this, and despite land and labor being pricey, builders are more than happy to supply these homes in 2018.
Small, however, doesn't mean cramped. You'll still find the open floor plan that has been popular for the past decade.
One trend worth mentioning is that many new homes will feature "more and larger windows … and multiple skylights," according to Petro Homes in Ohio. These not only help add natural light to the home, but make rooms appear larger.
2. Kitchen trends
Although the one-room kitchen at the back of the house became extinct over two decades ago, the open kitchen trend continues. The kitchen that opens to the family room or dining room is a trend that will continue as the focus on entertaining grows, or so says a CBS News piece.
Last year's open-kitchen trends included appliances that blend into the adjacent living spaces. Think wood-front refrigerators.
In 2018, the open-kitchen trend continues, but with the addition of a bit of bling.
You'll see copper, rose gold and brass in light fixtures and hardware
While granite countertops are still trendy, don't be surprised to find quartz in high-end new homes. Unlike granite, quartz countertops don't need to be sealed (and re-sealed).
3. Energy efficiency is trendy
Studies show that "green" homes sell quicker and for more money. Those purchasing a green home may be doing so, however, to save money while living there. Thankfully, builders are wising up and ramping up their energy efficiency programs in 2018.
One of the easiest trends any homeowner can implement this is with a touchless faucet. We've all needed to turn on the water with greasy hands and this faucet does away with that.
And, touchless faucets save water by only giving it to you when you need it
If you're looking for a new home and want green features, contact us. We're happy to show you what's available for sale right now.
4. Smart stuff
It's been slow to catch on but home builders say that home automation is one of the fastest growing trends in their industry.
Appliances are the most likely candidates but don't be surprised if you find you can turn on the heater on your way home from work or open the front door, with your phone.
The new smart thermostats help homeowners combine the convenience of home automation with energy efficiency by tracking our behavior and "learning" what temperature we prefer in the home when we get up in the morning, arrive home from work and go to bed in the evening.
5. Outdoor Spaces
The trend toward outdoor living spaces started a couple of years ago and experts estimate it will be even stronger in 2018. According to a Wakefield Research survey, 56 percent of prospective homebuyers surveyed said they would give up interior square footage if it meant they'd get a larger yard.
The bonus? A nearly 60 to 71 percent return on investment when the home with outdoor living features is sold,
according to Remodeling magazine's 2017 Cost Vs. Value report
Custom homebuilders are happy to create your oasis, and some new-home development builders are starting to add electric, gas and plumbing connections to outdoor space that they consider will be likely sites for outdoor living spaces.
Outdoor kitchens are the most popular, with a pool and spa coming in a close second. Outdoor fireplaces and pits come in third.
If 2018 is the year you'll finally get that nobody-has-ever-lived-here-before home, get in touch with your real estate agent. It's important to have your own representation, so you don't have to rely on the builder's agent.

India – Local Government – Panchayati Raj System
The term 'panchayat raj' is relatively new, having originated during the British administration. 'Raj' literally means governance or government. Mahatma Gandhi advocated the Panchayati Raj, a decentralized form of Government where each village is responsible for its own affairs, as the foundation of India's political system. His term for such a vision was "Gram Swaraj" (Village Self-governance).
It was adopted by state governments during the 1950s and 60s as laws were passed to establish Panchayats in various states. It also found backing in the Indian Constitution, with the 73rd amendment in 1992 to accommodate the idea.
The Amendment Act of 1992 contains provision for devolution of powers and responsibilities to the panchayats to both for preparation of plans for economic development and social justice and for implementation in relation to twenty-nine subjects listed in the eleventh schedule of the constitution.
The panchayats receive funds from three sources –
- (i) local body grants, as recommended by the Central Finance Commission
- (ii) funds for implementation of centrally-sponsored schemes, and
- (iii) funds released by the state governments on the recommendations of the State Finance Commissions

Clinics/Medical Facilities In Panchayat
The village panchayat has various kinds of duties to perform and these include providing safe and clean drinking water, developing of child and women, provision for small-scale and village industries and endless other similar options. But one of the most vital functions of the Panchayat is to provide the villagers with various kinds of medical facilities.
These facilities can be provided through options like clinics which are set up in various villages. Due to the limitation on population and sources of funds, it is not possible for all villages to have hospitals with advanced features but there are options through which the panchayat can set up a clinic or clinics in their village for the welfare of the people.
Pharmacies in Panchayat
The villages across India are suffering from problems with medical facilities and medication and the main reason for the same is the lack of doctors and other experienced medical personnel to guide through the situation.
But the panchayat of the states and district levels have made tremendous efforts to improve the conditions of the people in their villages and provide them with medical aid also. Basically, the idea behind the setting up of clinics in these areas can only be successful if the villages have a well-maintained medical storage system and pharmacies.
Even if the doctor is present and there are no medications or chemists available then there are no benefits of having the same. Hence in an attempt to ensure drastic measures for checking and controlling epidemics, the panchayats have encouraged the setting up of various pharmacies in the villages.
Panchayat Marketplace
Corruption and crime have increased in all avenues of life and the poor people are often the ones who are deprived of various opportunities and rights because of the same. To overcome these problems suffered by people and to ensure that all people are provided commodities at fair prices the Panchayats have what is called a panchayat marketplace.
At this marketplace, all the people of the village and from the neighbouring villages also, get together to sell their goods and commodities. This marketplace is usually held once a week or a month, depending upon the area where the same is held and also on the needs of the people.
Empowering Rural India
Governments have been emphasising economic development by ensuring growth rates of seven-eight per cent annually, enhancing the welfare of farmers and workers and unleashing the creativity of entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers. This opportunity must be fully utilised to bridge the rural-urban divide, using knowledge as a tool. As such, I would like to focus on "Empowering Rural India."
In June 2005, when I visited Nagapattinam, I saw the Village Resource Centre established by the Tata Tsunami Relief Committee in association with the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation at Akkaraipettai.
Speaking to the young members operating the system, I found they were helping locals by imparting education through computers, helping the Self Help Group Members to maintain their accounts, and providing weather and sea state forecast data.
Panchayat Businesses/Programs
There are different kinds of Panchayat programs implemented by the government of various states. These programs are implemented keeping in mind the financial and social condition of the area and the efforts of the members of the Panchayat also.
There are various kinds of groups from different parts of the State coming together at various Panchayats so that they can improve business and trade in the area and also involve the youth in the development of the same.
Various Panchayat leaders and representatives of youth clubs, functioning under the umbrella of the government and formulate various kinds of plans to improvise the economical situation of the area. Efforts are also made to tie up different self-help groups and individual entrepreneurs from various districts and villages to promote rural-oriented businesses.
Panchayat Services
The duty of the village and district panchayats are not restricted to the development and administration of the economy but it also spreads to various avenues like the development of the social and functional abilities of the people living in the jurisdiction, improvement of health and sanitation conditions and also improvement in the overall educational and vocational capacity of these villages.
The Panchayats have been vested with various kinds of legal duties that need to perform and amongst these duties is also the need to perform various other kinds of activities which help the welfare of the people. These services are not the legal duties of these panchayats but they are vital for the development of the abilities of the people of the village. There are various moral obligations and service factors which the panchayat should commence and these also include improvement in the lifestyle of the villagers.
Panchayat Events
The Panchayat in India has been given powers and responsibilities at various levels and one of the most vital ones includes the management of events and related festivities and functions. The responsibilities delegated to Panchayats at the appropriate level include the planning for economic development and social justice along with implementing the various schemes for economic development and social justice.
This responsibility has been given as per the 29 subjects in the Eleventh Schedule of the Constitution. The Panchayat is also liable for the collection of the taxes, duties and tolls and ensures they are levied and collected in a fair and just manner.
Panchayat Families
There are thousands of Panchayats in a huge country like India but the criteria for rating the Panchayat as good or bad is done on the basis of the services that they perform. There are about 400 to 1500 families covered under each gram Panchayat and this segregation is done on the basis of the number of houses, which constitutes a single family.
An important consideration here is that the number of families covered by each family also takes into account the number of family members. There are some Panchayats where the numbers of families are less but the number of people in each family is more and thus there is an increase in the population of the village.
Usually, the Panchayat that has covered the maximum number of un-electrified households by Solar Lanterns, SPV Home Lighting Systems and SPV Street Lighting Systems, is considered to be efficient as these are essential for meeting lighting energy needs for most families.
Panchayat Health
The term Panchayats implies the assembly of five wise people. In India, the Panchayat has been an age-old institution for governance at the village level. As per the 73rd Constitutional Amendment, PRI also known as the Panchayati Raj Institutions were strengthened with more areas of jurisdiction and authority and funds.
These PRIs had also been assigned the task of several development activities like health and population stabilization in the rural areas. The Gram Panchayat is one of the most vital authorities that are responsible for the health and sanitation areas of the villages.
These Panchayats also have the Gram Sabha, which acts as a community-level accountability mechanism. This also ensures that the functions of the PRI respond to people's needs and that their needs are taken care of.
Panchayat Library
The panchayat is one of the most grass root levels of government authorities and it is also one of the rare groups, which communicates directly to the people also. Hence there is a certain amount of vigilance and alertness levels which the panchayat should maintain as a legal authority.
For these references and queries related to the people, the government has made provisions for the setting up of libraries across the country. These libraries are the centres of learning for the people of the village and also for the gram panchayat.
Panchayats Complaints
There are various kinds of complaint matters and issues which are related to the Panchayats. Complaints regarding the Panchayats are not always related to the members of the Panchayat but also include the complaint list of the villagers, complaints against various welfare programs or educational programs held by the Panchayat and even the complaints of the members of the Panchayat against the government or any other organization.
But the Panchayats tackle these problems in various ways and ensure that the complaints of all their people are registered with the Panchayat and action against the same is taken. The Panchayat maintains a list of the various complaints which are registered with them and also categorizes them on the basis of their priority and the duration or tenure since the complaint has been laying with them.
Panchayat Surveys
There are various kinds of surveys carried out by the state and the Central government to check on the working of the Panchayats and to keep a track of their jurisdiction. These surveys help the government and the Panchayats to see if their implemented welfare programs and educational programs are providing the villagers with any results or advantages.
These surveys are also vital for keeping crime and corruption in check because there are instances where the villagers have been denied various kinds of rights on the basis of religion or social status.

Often the gram and village Panchayats organize various kinds of events and welfare programs. These programs are not done for the general health and care of the people of the village and also for improving the social abilities and interaction skills of the villagers through these events.
There are various events, which are held on big-scale budgets while there are some which are held on small-scale budgets. But most Panchayats keep a track of these events and save these memories through photographs and pictures.
