Your score falls within the range of scores, from 300 to 579, considered Very Poor. A 437 FICO® Score is significantly below the average credit score.
Many lenders view consumers with scores in the Very Poor range as having unfavorable credit, and may reject their credit applications. Applicants with scores in this range may be required to pay extra fees or to put down deposits on credit cards. Utility companies may also require deposits on equipment or service contracts.
16% of all consumers have FICO® Scores in the Very Poor range (300-579).
Approximately 62% of consumers with a credit score under 579 are likely to become seriously delinquent in the future.
How to improve your 437 Credit Score
The bad news about your FICO® Score of 437 is that it's well below the average credit score of 714. The good news is that there's plenty of opportunity to increase your score.
100% of consumers have FICO® Scores higher than 437.
A smart way to begin building up a credit score is to obtain your FICO® Score. Along with the score itself, you'll get a report that spells out the main events in your credit history that are lowering your score. Because that information is drawn directly from your credit history, it can pinpoint issues you can tackle to help raise your credit score.
Building on a Very Poor credit score
FICO® Scores in the Very Poor range often reflect a history of credit missteps or errors, such as multiple missed or late payments, defaulted or foreclosed loans, and even bankruptcy.
Among consumers with FICO® Scores of 437, 27% have credit histories that reflect having gone 30 or more days past due on a payment within the last 10 years.
Once you're familiar with your credit report, its contents and their impact on your credit scores, you can begin taking steps to build up your credit. As your credit behaviors improve, your credit scores will tend to follow suit.
What affects your credit score
To work toward better credit scores, watch out for behaviors that can lower your credit score:
Late or missed payments. One of the most significant influences on your credit score is proven ability to pay bills consistently and on-time. Late and missed payments and accounts considered delinquent will hurt your credit score. A steady history of on-time payments will help your credit score. This can account for up to 35% of your FICO® Score.
Credit utilization. Lenders and credit scorers have a technical term for "maxing out" your credit cards by spending your entire credit limit. They call it pushing your credit utilization ratio to 100%. They consider it a very bad idea, and that's why doing so can significantly lower your credit score. Most experts recommend keeping your utilization below 30% to avoid hurting your credit score. To calculate your credit utilization ratio, add up the balances on your credit cards and divide by the sum of their credit limits. Utilization rate is responsible for as much as 30% of your FICO® Score.
Credit history. The number of years you've been a credit user can influence up to 15% of your FICO® Score. All other things being equal, a longer credit history will tend to bring a higher credit score than a shorter history. This reflects lenders' interest in borrowers with proven track records of debt repayment. If you're relatively new to the credit market, there's not much you can do about this factor, other than be patient and avoid missteps along the way.
Recent credit applications. If you're continually applying for new loans or credit cards, you could be hurting your credit score. Applications for credit trigger events known as hard inquiries, which are recorded on your credit report and reflected in your credit score. In a hard inquiry, a lender obtains your credit score (and many times your credit report) for purposes of deciding whether to do business with you. Hard inquiries lower your credit scores temporarily, but scores typically bounce back within a few months as long as you keep up with your bills—and avoid making additional loan applications until then. (Checking your own credit is a soft inquiry and does not impact your credit score.) Hard inquiries can account for up to 10% of your FICO® Score.
Total debt and credit mix. It may sound odd, but taking on a new loan—if it's the right kind of loan—could benefit your credit score. Credit scores reflect your total outstanding debt, and the types of credit you have. Credit scoring systems such as FICO® tend to respond well to a variety of credit types. Specifically, they favor a mix of revolving credit (accounts such as credit cards, that borrowing within a specific credit limit) and installment credit (loans such as mortgages and car loans, with a set number of fixed monthly payments).
Public Information: If bankruptcies or other public records appear on your credit report, they can have severe negative impacts on your credit score.
The average credit card debt for consumer with FICO® Scores of 437 is $1,517.
Improving Your Credit Score
Converting a Very Poor credit score to a Fair (580-669) or a (670-739) Good one is a gradual process. It can't be done quickly (and you should avoid any business or consultant that tells you otherwise). But you can start to see some steady score improvements within a few months if you begin immediately to develop habits that promote good credit scores. Here are some good starting points:
Pay your bills on time. Yes, you've heard it before. But there's no better way to improve your credit score. If you have accounts that are past-due or in collections.
Avoid high credit utilization rates. Try to keep your utilization across all your accounts below about 30% to avoid lowering your score.
Among consumers with FICO® credit scores of 437, the average utilization rate is 127.9%.
Consider a debt-management plan. If you're having trouble repaying your loans and credit cards, a debt-management plan could bring some relief. You work with a non-profit credit-counseling agency to work out a manageable repayment schedule. Entering into a DMP effectively closes all your credit card accounts. This can severely lower your credit scores, but your scores can rebound from it more quickly than they would from bankruptcy. If this sounds too extreme for you, you may still want to consulting a credit counselor (not a credit-repair outfit) to devise a game plan for improving your credit.
Think about a credit-builder loan. Many credit unions offer these small loans, which are designed to help their members build up or rebuild their credit. There are several different types of credit-builder loan, but in one of the more popular ones, the credit union issues you a loan, but instead of giving you cash, they place it in an interest-bearing savings account. Once you've paid off the loan, you get access to the money plus the accumulated interest. It's partly a savings tool, but the real benefit comes as the credit union reports your payments to the national credit bureaus. As long as you make regular on-time payments, the loan can lead to credit-score improvements. (Before obtaining a credit-builder loan, make sure the credit union reports payments to all three national credit bureaus.)
Apply for a secured credit card. A secured credit card typically has a small borrowing limit—often just a few hundred dollars— and you put down a deposit in the full amount of that limit. As you use the card and make regular payments, the lender reports those activities to the national credit bureaus, where they are recorded in your credit files and reflected in your FICO® Scores. By making timely payments and avoiding "maxing out" the card, use of a secure credit card can promote improvements in your credit-score.
Try to establish a solid credit mix. The FICO® credit-scoring model tends to favor users with multiple credit accounts, and a blend of different types of loans, including installment loans like mortgages or auto loans and revolving credit such as credit cards and some home-equity loans.
Learn more about your credit score
It's never too late to start working toward a better FICO® Score, and your 437 FICO® Score is as good a starting point as any. Bringing your score up into the fair range (580-669) could help you gain access to more credit options, lower interest rates, and reduced fees. You can get begin right away with your free credit report from Experian and checking your credit score to learn what's needed to help your score grow.

Do not distress! We are here to help you.
General Tips: African Fabric Accessories
When caring for accessories made with African print fabric, the key points are:
• Store it carefully away from the sun. Overexposure to direct sunlight will fade the print, making your accessories look dull, discolored or worn out.
• Never scrub vigorously, it damages and smudges the fabric which results in weary-looking and bland accessories.
• Get rid of damaging dust particles, by lightly brushing with a lint roller (or sticky tape) on a regular basis.
• Do not submerge in water. It will ruin your jewelry or accessory. Only wipe clean with a damp cloth. It's ok to use a mild detergent for stubborn stains.
• The only exceptions to the previous rule are our hair scrunchies and tote bags, which can be washed with a mild detergent, at low temperature.
With beautiful and vibrant colors, our jewelry's charming design combines well with casual outfits to dress up an evening look and is a great choice for everyday wear.
• For the best preservation of your jewelry, always keep it in its original packaging in a dry, dust-free place at room temperature.
• Avoid excessive heat, and contact with perfumes, cosmetics, and chemicals.
• If the tassel starts to fray, cut the loose threads with sharp scissors and it will look like new.
Do not wash or submerge in water, spot clean instead. Do not bathe, exercise, or sleep whilst wearing the earrings, necklaces or bracelets.
Clothes Care Guide
Clothes Care Guide
Our garments are designed to become timeless features in your wardrobe. From the very first day through to years to come, we strive to produce clothing that looks exceptional, flattering, and keeps well no matter its age. Therefore, knowing just how to care for your African print garment will ensure that you look amazing in your garments today, tomorrow, and always.
We manufacture using only premium-quality, ethically and some locally sourced fabrics. Each garment brings to life the vibrancy and beauty of Africa by primarily using these authentic materials.
African Super-Wax Cotton and African Wax cotton are both forms of 100% cotton materials. The general guidelines for caring for and maintaining these garments are as follows.
- Always handle with care.
- Wash light and dark colors separately.
- Wash all garments inside out to protect the pattern.
- Avoid overfilling the washing machine.
- Do not wring, rub or twist the material.
- Do not bleach.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Hang to dry in the shade (do not expose the garment to direct sunlight)
- Iron inside out on no higher than 150C.
Ensure all garments are washed using a 40C programme. Setting your machine to a low spin will help to minimise energy usage and protect the garment from wear and tear. To further improve the efficiency of your wash, ensure your drum is filled to the correct capacity. Follow the washing detergent's instructions exactly, making sure to abide by the specified measurements and quantities. These steps will help to reduce your household carbon footprint while maintaining the quality of your African pieces.
For the best results, always seek out professional dry-cleaning services for your African print garments. Advise them that a mild process must be used to maintain the item's integrity. Dry cleaning services use a wealth of experience to ensure your favorite piece is returned to you in pristine condition.
Please note that all fabrics are made using 100% cotton. This natural material allows for shrinkage of up to 5% during washing. Over time, fabric may lose some of their color and/or finish.

Now a pair of historic votes among last night's many ballots measures. Voters in Colorado and Washington State passed initiatives legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. But as the governor of Colorado said last night, don't break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly
NPR's Wendy Kaufman reports that the measures are in direct conflict with federal law.
WENDY KAUFMAN, BYLINE: In Colorado and Washington, adults 21 and older will be able to buy and keep small amounts of marijuana for personal use. Sales will be regulated and taxed. And in Washington, at least, a new explicit DUI standard for marijuana will go into effect.
Supporters of the measures point to the drug cartels and gangs that now control the marijuana trade and say the country needs a new approach.
Here's Rick Steves, the travel guru and a sponsor of the Washington initiative, speaking at a Seattle victory party last night.
RICK STEVES: I'll tell you one thing, the whole country is going to look at Washington State and perhaps Colorado, and recognize that this is the beginning of taking apart Prohibition one state at a time. That's how they did it 80 years ago against alcohol, that's how we are going to do it now against marijuana
KAUFMAN: To be sure, many supporters were probably focused more on the immediate impact of the laws. In Colorado, Cassandra Roberts, a manufacturing engineer, likes the idea the sale of pot will produce tax revenue for the state.
CASSANDRA ROBERTS: Everything I know about the drug, it's far less harmful than things legal now. So why not regulate it and get some money off it and fund our schools with it?
KAUFMAN: Seattle residents raised other issues.
STEVEN JONES: My name is Steven Jones and I'm a stockbroker. And I just think incarcerating people for small amounts of marijuana is not an asset to society and that we need to correct that.
KAUFMAN: Colleen Sexton, a medical technologist, agreed. Adding...
COLLEEN SEXTON: I think that the criminalization of marijuana causes much more problems than it's trying to prevent.
KAUFMAN: Do any of you have children?
SEXTON: I do.
KAUFMAN: Do you worry that by legalizing marijuana you will make it easier for him or her to get marijuana?
SEXTON: I don't. I believe that legalizing marijuana will actually make it more difficult for him to obtain it.
KAUFMAN: The new laws in Washington and Colorado set up a potential showdown with the federal government. Under federal law, possessing even small amounts of marijuana is a crime. And today, the U.S. Attorney in Seattle released a short statement saying: The Department of Justice's enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged and marijuana remains a Schedule 1 controlled substance.
States, and there are lots of them with medical marijuana laws, already run afoul of the law. And in some places, the federal government has moved to shut down marijuana dispensaries. But the federal government has not directly challenged the legality of the statutes themselves.
John McKay, a former U.S. Attorney in Seattle who played a big role in drafting the new Washington legalization measure, says when it comes to Initiative 502, the federal government will have a lot of discretion.
JOHN MCKAY: The first area of discretion would be whether they would choose to assert the criminal laws.
KAUFMAN: And clearly, McKay, who was for several years the federal government's top prosecutor here, doesn't see federal agents swooping in to arrest state sanctioned growers, nor people smoking pot in their living rooms. McKay says the federal government could also try to have the whole law thrown out, claiming federal preemption. But because there's no interstate commerce involved, he doesn't think that argument would prevail.
MCKAY: Our hope is that the federal government will look at the State of Washington and say this is a good faith attempt to address the regulation of this commodity, marijuana. And that, historically, the states have been laboratories for change. Let's see if this approach could work.
KAUFMAN: Informal conversations between federal officials and those who support the new state law have already began. And Colorado's governor says he's slated to talk to Attorney General Eric Holder tomorrow.

Erasmus University Rotterdam
Welcome to this MOOC on Local Economic Development (LED). Local economic development refers to the processes by which local governments, businesses, and civil society groups get together to raise income sustainably and improve their lives in a well-defined area. It's about creating jobs, securing livelihoods, improving infrastructure and managing local resources.
What do I learn?
We will be dealing with questions such as the following. Why does economic development take place in some areas of the world and not in others? Why doesn't it happen in your place? What prevents people from having the lives they want to live right there? Could your region make more of the opportunities of globalization and new technologies? Did the promises of decentralization in your country fail to deliver better public services and more responsive governments? If these are the questions you are asking yourself, this is the right course for you. It explores the where, who and how of economic development.
Please have a look at our list of contents for the coming 8 weeks:
1. What is LED? What drives it?
2. How does globalization shape LED?
3. How does decentralisation affect LED?
4. How does competitiveness affect innovation?
5. What are entrepreneurship and its dimensions?
6. Why are value chains and clusters so important?
7. What are some LED strategies?
8. Your project
How will I learn?
In each week you will be able to access the content of the videos, suggested readings and additional videos for selective deepening. You will also find assignments that you have to complete if you want to earn a certificate for this MOOC. We will first introduce our "toolkit", a series of theories and concepts that will help you read the situation in your locality. We will explore the main factors affecting local economic development, such as globalization, decentralisation, and competitiveness. We will discuss key components, like entrepreneurship and innovation and look into the organization of local economies into clusters, value chains and learning regions. We will conclude by deepening on some specific constructs that make local economies grow to benefit their communities. You will also contribute your ideas in the discussion forums, where you will learn from other participants around the world.
What makes this course special?
There is plenty of information in Internet on local economic development, which is mostly prepared by international donors or multilateral organisations. So what does this course do differently? First of all, the course is offered by academics that have significant published research on local economic development. This course gathers a wealth of academic knowledge that often fights the assumptions on what things are supposed to be like. Second, the instructors of this course have participated in dozens of capacity building projects in Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. Putting learning at the centre, they worked with communities, local governments, international donors and business associations. They often found a significant distance between theory and practice in local economic development, and this has been the basis of learning. Third, the course is acutely aware that each region is different and does not attempt to offer a one-size-fits-all recipe. It singles out key factors that drive local economic development and enables participants to do their own learning process, defining local problems and appropriate solutions. The aim of the course is that participants come up with their own ideas on how to promote local economic development.
How will I get a certificate?
If you want a certificate for participating in this MOOC, you will need to complete a small assignment each week and participate in the discussion forums. In the end of the MOOC, you will put these contributions together in one final document, your Capstone Project.
I hope you find this course exciting and that you get to share our passion for promoting local economic development.

The January 2013 issue of Commentary asked 53 writers and conservative leaders What is the Future of Conservatism?
This is part of the response from Bret Stephens,
I know it's a small thing in the scheme of the universe that Ashcroft should have been offended by a piece of statuary. It's probably no big deal that Senator Marco Rubio professes agnosticism as to whether the Earth is thousands or billions of years old. Had Todd Akin of Missouri been elected to the Senate, his notions of reproductive biology would have had scant bearing on, say, his votes on defense. The fact that a considerable percentage of Republican voters believe Barack Obama's college transcripts are the Da Vinci Code of his presidency is of slight consequence to the future of Western civilization. It makes little practical political difference that so many Republicans consider the theory of evolution to be a piece of quackery on par with, say, the teachings of Madame Blavatsky. The mysterious inability or unwillingness of so many Republicans to use the adjectival form when speaking of the "Democrat Party" is not an issue on which the fate of the Republic hinges.
But it adds up. To a greater degree than some readers of this magazine may care to admit, the conservative movement has grown prudish, crotchety, God-obsessed, conspiratorial, retrograde, and insipid. Somebody needs to stand athwart and yell "stop."
I write this as someone who thinks the Obama administration is wreaking long-term damage on the United States at home and abroad. So it's all the more depressing that the conservative movement and its organs in politics and the media failed to pass what ought to have been an easy test: winning a winnable election. If the GOP could not defeat an incumbent president who had saddled himself with high unemployment and the most unpopular legislation in modern history, how do they expect to defeat Hillary Clinton should she run in 2016?
If you went to the web page for a company you were considering transacting with and it stated objectives that appealed to you such as rapid order response and competitive prices you may give them a call. But if the receptionist was an idiot, the salesman was a fool and the credit clerk was rude, you would probably go elsewhere. This is how I see the GOP. They declare worthy goals and then put the execution of the goals in the hands of incompetents This is not to say they there are some worthy leaders, but there are enough fools that it becomes hard to attract voters.

The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath
5 After this there was a ofeast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by pthe Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic1 called Bethesda,2 which has five roofed colonnades. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and qparalyzed.3 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?" 7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me." 8 Jesus said to him, r"Get up, take up your bed, and walk." 9 rAnd at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
sNow that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews4 said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and tit is not lawful for you to take up your bed." 11 But he answered them, "The man who healed me, that man said to me, 'Take up your bed, and walk.'" 12 They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your bed and walk'?" 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for uJesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you are well! vSin no more, wthat nothing worse may happen to you." 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews xwere persecuting Jesus, ybecause he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I am working."
Jesus Is Equal with God
18 This was why the Jews zwere seeking all the more to kill him, abecause not only was he bbreaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God chis own Father, dmaking himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, ethe Son fcan do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father5 does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For gthe Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And hgreater works than these will he show him, so that iyou may marvel. 21 For as the Father jraises the dead and kgives them life, so lalso the Son gives life mto whom he will. 22 nFor the Father judges no one, but ohas given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they phonor the Father. qWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, rwhoever hears my word and sbelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He tdoes not come into judgment, but uhas passed from death to life.
25 "Truly, truly, I say to you, van hour is coming, and is now here, when wthe dead will hear xthe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear wwill live. 26 yFor as the Father has life in himself, zso he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he ahas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for van hour is coming when ball who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, cthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Witnesses to Jesus
30 d"I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and emy judgment is just, because fI seek not my own will gbut the will of him who sent me. 31 hIf I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is ianother who bears witness about me, and jI know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 kYou sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that lthe testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and mshining lamp, and nyou were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But lthe testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For othe works that the Father has given me pto accomplish, the very works that I am doing, qbear witness about me that rthe Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me shas himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, this form you have never seen, 38 and uyou do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 vYou search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and wit is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet xyou refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 yI do not receive glory from people. 42 But zI know that you do not have athe love of God within you. 43 I have come bin my Father's name, and cyou do not receive me. dIf another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and edo not seek the glory that comes from fthe only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, gon whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for hhe wrote of me. 47 But iif you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
6 After this jJesus went away to the other side of kthe Sea of Galilee, which is lthe Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on mthe mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now nthe Passover, the ofeast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 pLifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to qPhilip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?" 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 rPhilip answered him, "Two hundred denarii1 worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little." 8 One of his disciples, sAndrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9 "There is a boy here who has five tbarley loaves and two fish, but twhat are they for so many?" 10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." uNow there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and vwhen he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost." 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, w"This is indeed xthe Prophet ywho is to come into the world!"
15 zPerceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus awithdrew again to bthe mountain by himself.
Jesus Walks on Water
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles,2 they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 cBut he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
I Am the Bread of Life
22 On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only done boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. 23 Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord ehad given thanks. 24 fSo when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and gwent to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, h"Rabbi, when did you come here?" 26 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, iyou are seeking me, not because you saw jsigns, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 kDo not work for the food that perishes, but for lthe food that endures to eternal life, which mthe Son of Man will give to you. For on nhim God the Father has oset his seal." 28 Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing pthe works of God?" 29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, qthat you believe in him whom rhe has sent." 30 So they said to him, s"Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 tOur fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, u'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" 32 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is vhe who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 34 They said to him, w"Sir, give us this bread always."
35 Jesus said to them, x"I am the bread of life; ywhoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 zAll that athe Father gives me will come to me, and bwhoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For cI have come down from heaven, not to do dmy own will but dthe will of him ewho sent me. 39 And fthis is the will of him who sent me, gthat I should lose nothing of hall that he has given me, but iraise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who jlooks on the Son and kbelieves in him lshould have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, m"I am the bread that came down from heaven." 42 They said, n"Is not this Jesus, othe son of Joseph, whose father and mother pwe know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?" 43 Jesus answered them, "Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me qdraws him. And rI will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, s'And they will all be ttaught by God.' uEveryone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 vnot that anyone has seen the Father except whe who is from God; he xhas seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, ywhoever believes has eternal life. 48 zI am the bread of life. 49 aYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and bthey died. 50 cThis is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it dand not die. 51 I am the living bread ethat came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ffor the life of the world is gmy flesh."
52 The Jews then hdisputed among themselves, saying, i"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" 53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of jthe Son of Man and drink his blood, you khave no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood lhas eternal life, and mI will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood nabides in me, and I in him. 57 As othe living Father psent me, and qI live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 rThis is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread3 the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever." 59 Jesus4 said these things in the synagogue, as he taught sat Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life
60 tWhen many of his disciples heard it, they said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" 61 But Jesus, vknowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, "Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see wthe Son of Man xascending to ywhere he was before? 63 zIt is the Spirit who gives life; athe flesh is no help at all. bThe words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But cthere are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus vknew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and dwho it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, "This is why I told you ethat no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."
66 fAfter this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to gthe twelve, "Do you want to go away as well?" 68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have hthe words of eternal life, 69 and iwe have believed, and have come to know, that jyou are kthe Holy One of God." 70 Jesus answered them, l"Did I not choose you, gthe twelve? And yet one of you is ma devil." 71 He spoke of Judas nthe son of Simon Iscariot, for ohe, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
Jesus at the Feast of Booths
7 After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because pthe Jews1 were seeking to kill him. 2 Now qthe Jews' Feast of rBooths was at hand. 3 sSo his brothers2 said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, tshow yourself to the world." 5 uFor not even vhis brothers believed in him. 6 Jesus said to them, w"My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but xit hates me because I testify about it that yits works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not3 going up to this feast, for zmy time has not yet fully come." 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.
10 But after ahis brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. 11 bThe Jews cwere looking for him at the feast, and saying, "Where is he?" 12 And there was much dmuttering about him among the people. eWhile some said, "He is a good man," others said, "No, fhe is leading the people astray." 13 Yet gfor fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.
14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up hinto the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore imarveled, saying, "How is it that this man has learning,4 when he has never studied?" 16 So Jesus answered them, j"My teaching is not mine, but his kwho sent me. 17 lIf anyone's will is to do God's5 will, mhe will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I nam speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority oseeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 pHas not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. qWhy do you seek to kill me?" 20 The crowd answered, r"You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?" 21 Jesus answered them, "I did sone work, and you all marvel at it. 22 tMoses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but ufrom the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, vare you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? 24 wDo not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
Can This Be the Christ?
25 Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, "Is not this the man whom xthey seek to kill? 26 And here he is, yspeaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that zthe authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But awe know bwhere this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, cno one will know where he comes from." 28 So Jesus proclaimed, das he taught in the temple, a"You know me, and you know where I come from. But eI have not come of my own accord. fHe who sent me is true, gand him you do not know. 29 hI know him, for I come ifrom him, and jhe sent me." 30 kSo they were seeking to arrest him, but lno one laid a hand on him, mbecause his hour had not yet come. 31 Yet nmany of the people believed in him. They said, o"When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?"
Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd pmuttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent qofficers to arrest him. 33 Jesus then said, r"I will be with you a little longer, and then sI am going to him who sent me. 34 tYou will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come." 35 The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? uDoes he intend to go to vthe Dispersion among wthe Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, x'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?"
Rivers of Living Water
37 yOn the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, z"If anyone thirsts, let him acome to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, bas6 the Scripture has said, c'Out of his heart will flow rivers of dliving water.'" 39 Now ethis he said about the Spirit, fwhom those who believed in him were to receive, gfor as yet the Spirit had not been hgiven, ibecause Jesus was not yet glorified.
Division Among the People
40 When they heard these words, jsome of the people said, "This really is kthe Prophet." 41 Others said, "This is lthe Christ." But some said, m"Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes nfrom the offspring of David, and comes ofrom Bethlehem, the village pwhere David was?" 43 So there was qa division among the people over him. 44 rSome of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 sThe officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?" 46 The officers answered, t"No one ever spoke like this man!" 47 The Pharisees answered them, u"Have you also been deceived? 48 vHave any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed." 50 wNicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, 51 x"Does our law judge a man without first ygiving him a hearing and learning what he does?" 52 They replied, z"Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that ano prophet arises from Galilee."
[The earliest manuscripts do not include 7:53–8:11.]7
The Woman Caught in Adultery
53 [[They went each to his own house,
8 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 bEarly in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and che sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now din the Law, Moses commanded us eto stone such women. So what do you say?" 6 This they said fto test him, gthat they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, h"Let him who is without sin among you ibe the first to throw a stone at her." 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, j"Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on ksin no more."]]
I Am the Light of the World
12 lAgain Jesus spoke to them, saying, m"I am the light of the world. Whoever nfollows me will not owalk in darkness, but will have the light of life." 13 So the Pharisees said to him, p"You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true." 14 Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness about myself, qmy testimony is true, for I know rwhere I came from and swhere I am going, but tyou do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 uYou judge according to the flesh; vI judge no one. 16 Yet even if I do judge, wmy judgment is true, for xit is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father1 who sent me. 17 yIn your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true. 18 I am the one who bears witness about myself, and zthe Father who sent me bears witness about me." 19 They said to him therefore, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, a"You know neither me nor my Father. bIf you knew me, you would know my Father also." 20 These words he spoke in cthe treasury, as he taught in the temple; but dno one arrested him, because ehis hour had not yet come.
21 So he said to them again, f"I am going away, and gyou will seek me, and hyou will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come." 22 So the Jews said, i"Will he kill himself, since he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?" 23 He said to them, j"You are from below; I am from above. kYou are of this world; lI am not of this world. 24 I told you that you mwould die in your sins, for nunless you believe that oI am he you will die in your sins." 25 So they said to him, p"Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been telling you from the beginning. 26 I have much to say about you and much to judge, but qhe who sent me is true, and I declare rto the world swhat I have heard from him." 27 They did not understand that the had been speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said to them, "When you have ulifted up the Son of Man, vthen you will know that wI am he, and that xI do nothing on my own authority, but yspeak just as the Father taught me. 29 And zhe who sent me is with me. zHe has not left me alone, for aI always do the things that are pleasing to him." 30 As he was saying these things, bmany believed in him.
The Truth Will Set You Free
31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, c"If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will dknow the truth, and the truth ewill set you free." 33 They answered him, f"We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, 'You will become free'?"
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, geveryone who practices sin is a slave2 to sin. 35 hThe slave does not remain in the house forever; ithe son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet jyou seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. 38 kI speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard lfrom your father."
You Are of Your Father the Devil
39 They answered him, m"Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, n"If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, 40 but now oyou seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth pthat I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You are doing the works your father did." They said to him, q"We were not born of sexual immorality. We have rone Father—even God." 42 Jesus said to them, s"If God were your Father, you would love me, for tI came from God and uI am here. vI came not of my own accord, but whe sent me. 43 xWhy do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot ybear to hear my word. 44 zYou are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. aHe was a murderer from the beginning, and bdoes not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. cWhen he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 dWhoever is of God hears the words of God. eThe reason why you do not hear them is that fyou are not of God."
Before Abraham Was, I Am
48 The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and ghave a demon?" 49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but hI honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet iI do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Truly, truly, jI say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never ksee death." 52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! lAbraham died, as did the prophets, yet myou say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never ntaste death.' 53 oAre you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?" 54 Jesus answered, p"If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. qIt is my Father who glorifies me, rof whom you say, 'He is our God.'3 55 But syou have not known him. tI know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be ua liar vlike you, but I do know him and I keep his word. 56 wYour father Abraham xrejoiced ythat he would see my day. zHe saw it and was glad." 57 So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"4 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, aI am." 59 So bthey picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, c"Rabbi, dwho sinned, ethis man or fhis parents, that he was born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but gthat the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must hwork the works of him who sent me iwhile it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, jI am the light of the world." 6 Having said these things, khe spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. lThen he anointed the man's eyes with the mud 7 and said to him, "Go, wash in mthe pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and ncame back seeing.
8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, o"Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?" 9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." He kept saying, "I am the man." 10 So they said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?" 11 He answered, p"The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed and received my sight." 12 They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 qNow it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 rSo the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see." 16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not sfrom God, tfor he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, u"How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And vthere was a division among them. 17 So they said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?" He said, w"He is a prophet."
18 xThe Jews1 did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" 20 His parents answered, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself." 22 (His parents said these things ybecause they feared the Jews, for zthe Jews had already agreed that if anyone should aconfess Jesus2 to be Christ, bhe was to be put out of the synagogue.) 23 Therefore his parents said, c"He is of age; ask him."
24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, d"Give glory to God. We know that ethis man is a sinner." 25 He answered, "Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I fwas blind, now I see." 26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" 27 He answered them, g"I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?" 28 And they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but hwe are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, iwe do not know where he comes from." 30 The man answered, "Why, this is jan amazing thing! kYou do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that lGod does not listen to sinners, but mif anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 nIf this man were not from God, he could do nothing." 34 They answered him, o"You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?" And they pcast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, "Do you believe in qthe Son of Man?"3 36 He answered, r"And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?" 37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and sit is he who is speaking to you." 38 He said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him. 39 Jesus said, t"For judgment I came into this world, uthat those who do not see may see, and vthose who see may become blind." 40 Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, w"Are we also blind?" 41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, xyou would have no guilt;4 but now that you say, 'We see,' your guilt remains.

Woman Gives Birth in Walmart Parking Lot While Husband Goes Grocery Shopping [VIDEO]
Wow, you really can get anything at Walmart.
A woman in Melbourne, Florida recently gave birth in a Walmart parking lot while her husband was in the store shopping. Amazingly, the woman gave birth while their three daughters were in the car with her. It's unclear when she was due.
The woman's husband had run into the store to get a few groceries and when he came out he was floored to see his three children urging him to get in the car.
The man was only shopping for a few minutes, but somehow that's all the time the woman needed to welcome the couple's fourth child – this one a boy -- into the world.
Paramedics brought the mother to a nearby hospital. Mother and son are doing well.
Walmart is already doing its best to recruit lifelong customers. The store gave the family gift cards and care packages.

The Yellow Umbrellas - LT-KON-G492-01
NOTES: hand-crafted stone lithograph.
The Yellow Umbrellas by Liudmila Kondakova
image Copyright © 2024 by Liudmila Kondakova
"Beauty...lies in the love thet goes into each detail, no matter how small or insignificant. In my art, the essence and beauty has always rested in the details." — Liudmila Kondakova Her paintings are so rich with clarity and light that they reflect in their extraordinary draftsmanship a sense of artistic and spiritual well-being. One might describe her style as Romantic Realism—her meticulous attention to every detail allows us to become intimately involved in the life of her paintings. In the artist's words: "To me, these streets, with their worn cobblestones and aged buildings, evoke a sense of nostalgia and romance with a touch of melancholy. It is the ideal kind of space in which I would like to live." Since her childhood in Russia, Liudmila Kondakova has been fascinated by traditional art, by a sense of spirituality that transcends common existence. Her painting technique is that employed by medieval egg-tempera painters. Her palette—influenced by the icon painters of Byzantium and later, Russia—is both vibrant and beautiful, with colors that blend in a subtle, poetic balance. Born in Russia in 1956, Liudmila Kondakova immigrated to the United States in 1991. A graduate of the Grabar Center in Moscow, she also attended Russia s School of Sacred Arts, the Moscow Pedagogical Institute and the Moscow Art Institute. Kondakova connects her highly trained background to her artistic expression this way, "In my art, the essence and beauty has always rested in the details." With her work in private collections around the world, original paintings and serigraphs by Liudmila Kondakova can be found in galleries nationwide.
