6 Now in these days kwhen the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists1 arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in lthe daily distribution. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 mTherefore, brothers,2 pick out from among you seven men nof good repute, ofull of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But pwe will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, qa man full of faith and rof the Holy Spirit, and sPhilip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, ta proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and uthey prayed and vlaid their hands on them.
7 And wthe word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests xbecame obedient to ythe faith.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and zpower, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. 10 But athey could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. 11 Then bthey secretly instigated men who said, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God." 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they cset up false dwitnesses who said, "This man never ceases to speak words against ethis holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth fwill destroy this place and will gchange hthe customs that Moses delivered to us." 15 And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face iwas like the face of an angel.
About English Standard Version
The English Standard Version™ is founded on the conviction that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. And because the words themselves—not just the thoughts or ideas—are inspired by God, each word must be translated with the greatest precision and accuracy. As Jesus Himself stressed, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:4).
This passion for God's Word is the driving force behind the translation of the ESV™ Bible. The English Standard Version™ does not try to "improve" on the original in light of today's culture or by using trendy language. Instead, the utmost care has been taken to express God's Word in English that most closely captures the meaning of the original, with understandability, beauty, and impact.

Duke vs. North Carolina
March 8, 2014 • 9 p.m.
Durham, N.C. • Cameron Indoor Stadium (9,314)
ESPN • Blue Devil IMG Sports Network
The Opening Tip
- In its final game of the regular season, Duke will host Tobacco Road rival North Carolina Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The game, a rematch of North Carolina's 74-66 win in Chapel Hill on Feb. 20, will tip off at 9 p.m. and air on ESPN and the Blue Devil IMG Sports Network.
- Duke climbed back into the Associated Press top five this week, jumping from No. 6 to No. 4 following a 66-48 win over Virginia Tech. Duke, also ranked No. 4 in the USA Today Coaches' Poll, is 56-13 all-time when playing as the No. 4 team in the AP poll.
- Duke is attempting to close out its 18th undefeated season at Cameron Indoor Stadium and second straight. Duke has won 32 consecutive games at home, the longest streak in the country.
- North Carolina will be the sixth ranked team Duke has faced. Duke is 3-3 against ranked teams in 2013-14 with wins over No. 1 Syracuse, No. 18 Pittsburgh and No. 22 Michigan.
The Last Time Out
- Tyler Cavanaugh scored 20 points and Travis McKie added 19 to lead Wake Forest past No. 4 Duke, 82-72, Wednesday in Joel Coliseum. Wake Forest had five players score in double figures, including Codi Miller-McIntyre, who finished with 13 points, eight assists and just two turnovers.
- Duke led 66-59 with 5:44 remaining, but the Deacons mounted a 17-0 run to stake a 77-66 lead. Wake Forest outscored Duke 23-6 over the final 5:20 of the game as the Blue Devils hit just 2-of-10 field goals during that stretch.
- Duke shot just .222 (6-of-27) from three-point range for the team's second-lowest three-point percentage of the season. Duke hit just 2-of-12 treys in the first half and 4-of-15 in the second half.
- Jabari Parker logged his fifth straight double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds to lead Duke in both categories. Rodney Hood scored 16 points and dished out four assists, while Rasheed Sulaimon added 14 points.
By The Numbers
- The Blue Devils have won 32 consecutive games in Cameron Indoor Stadium, tied for the longest active streak in the country. Duke is just one win away from completing its 18th undefeated season in Cameron, owning a 16-0 record on Coach K Court in 2013-14. Duke also went 16-0 in Cameron in 2012-13.
- Saturday's game will serve as senior night for Duke's class of Andre Dawkins, Josh Hairston, Tyler Thornton and Todd Zafirovski. Dawkins and Zafirovski were both part of Duke's 2009-10 NCAA and ACC Championship team, while all four helped Duke capture the 2010-11 ACC Championship and posted a 112-25 record over the past four seasons.
- Duke has lost back-to-back games just once since the start of the 2009-10 season and is 25-1 following a loss during that span. Among Duke's six previous victories following a loss this season are wins over No. 22 Michigan (79-69), Virginia (69-65) and No. 1 Syracuse (66-60).
- Duke owns an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.54:1, which would rank as the highest ratio since Duke began tracking turnovers in the 1970-71 season. The Blue Devils logged a school-record 1.51:1 assist-to-turnover ratio last season, bettering the previous school record of 1.32 set in 2000-01.
- Jabari Parker leads the ACC with 13 double-doubles and is one shy of tying Duke's freshman record of 14 set by Gene Banks in 1977-78. Parker has nine double-doubles in his past 12 games and is averaging 16.9 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in conference play. He leads the ACC in rebounds per game, ranks second in points per game and third in field goal percentage (.483 – 199-of-412).
- Andre Dawkins needs just three points to become the 63rd Duke player to join the 1,000-point club. Dawkins is averaging a career-best 8.4 points per game this season.
- Marshall Plumlee is averaging 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 points and 1.8 blocks over his past four games. Plumlee has 3.5 offensive rebounds per game during that stretch.
- Rodney Hood has logged six of his nine 20-plus-point performances in Cameron Indoor Stadium, including a career-best 30-point outing against East Carolina on Nov. 19. Hood scored 21 against Virginia Tech in his last appearance in Cameron and averages 17.5 points per game on his home court. Only Jabari Parker has more 20-point games in Cameron this season (9).

A Baltimore City Councilman wants to put advertisements on the city's fleet of fire trucks in order to ease their massive debt. Self-aggrandizing alternative ad agency People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) wants to help by buying the first round of ads. Of course, since it's PETA, there's a mostly undressed girl involved.
It all started with City Councilman Pete Welch saying that they could make a decent amount of scratch if they sold advertisements on the sides of emergency vehicles, although probably not the full $48 million shortfall.
Welch said that "These are out-of-the-box times and you need out-of-the-box approaches in order to create additional revenue."
As soon as PETA recognized an opportunity to insert themselves into the news cycle they dashed off a press release offering to buy the first ads and make the sides of fire trucks look like the inside of fire houses:
In light of the recent bill you proposed that would allow advertisements to be placed on the city's fire engines to ease financial trouble, we would like to be the first to offer you a revenue-raising ad that will get hearts racing while preventing heart attacks. Our "Vegans Are Hot! Free Smokin'-Hot Recipes: PETA.org" advertisement, featuring a sexy woman showing off her vegan physique, will drive Baltimore residents to PETA's heart-healthy vegan recipes that will keep them firing on all cylinders.
This can be translated into "I don't know if we help animals anymore, but here are some more boobs and some free publicity for us for doing almost nothing since even Baltimore isn't even desperate enough to let us do this."

"Exceptional service"
We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day Alaska cruise. Apart from the stunning weather and scenery, the other notable experience was gained from the great service by the crew. They were all friendly and made every effort to accommodate us. In particular, Sanwang who was our steward, and took care of our cabin and was always pleasant and helpful. In the restaurant, Sentihal in the seating area around 518 was our headwaiter and stood out as efficient and genuinely welcoming. Our favourite drinks waiter was Ari from Bali. He was always smiling and made us feel relaxed and happy. Hope he makes it home in time for the birth of his first child in September. Other notable staff were Niki from the casino and her barman Sarid they always looked after us. Russell, whose memory of our table preference was remarkable when she had to seat so many passengers for meals. This cruise was for my 50th birthday, and it was a truly memorable one. I would recommend to anyone wishing to experience beautiful Alaska.Read more

Frequently asked questions
Cruising is such a great value holiday as your fare includes accommodations, all main meals onboard ship, onboard daytime activities, and night-time entertainment including live stage shows. One reason cruising is good value is because you'll know what most of your holiday will cost before you go. Generally your only extra onboard expenses could be your beverages (though these are sometimes included on luxury ships), optional shore excursions, personal services such as spa treatments, and any purchases at the gift and duty free shops.
All your main meals are included on a cruise. Typically for breakfast, lunch and dinner there is an a la carte option (order from a menu) or a buffet option. There is so much choice available, and the food is excellent. However, your cruise doesn't always just include these 3 main meals. You can in fact eat non-stop for 24 hours a day if you like.
Most cruise lines also offer specialty dining as an alternative option to the main restaurants. There is typically a small cover charge for this. However, the food is well worth it, and the specialty restaurants are normally smaller and more intimate than the main restaurants so they make for a great place to celebrate a special occasion.
The entertainment on board comes in many different styles and formats but is always included in the cruise fare. In the evening there are shows in the main show lounge (except small ship cruising). Typically there are two sessions a night so, depending on your dinner time, you can always catch the show. The style of these shows changes daily. Some nights it will include all of the ship's entertainment crew with a Las Vegas style production. Other nights there may be a guest entertainer or comedian. There is something for everyone.
The entertainment doesn't stop with the nightly performances. Each night the ship provides a newsletter detailing all the activities that will take place the following day. These activities may include dance classes, arts and crafts, table tennis, live music, tournaments, trivia quizzes, recent release movies, and other deck games and deck parties. The great thing about a cruise is that you can do as much or as little as you like. If your idea of a holiday is sitting back with a good book, you can do that. If you like to be entertained there is no shortage of entertainment.
One of the main reasons for a cruise making such a great family holiday is the "kids club" facilities offered on board, and they are all included in your cruise fare. Typically the kids clubs are broken into 3 different age groups - 3 to 6 years, 7 to 12 years, and 13 – 17 years. In these dedicated children's facilities they are looked after by trained staff and the facilities are open from 9am – 10pm. Parents can check their children into the "kids club" whenever it suits them. Children love these facilities as it is "their space" aboard the ship.
NB Each cruise line has limited space on board the ship for children as the kids club facilities can cater for a limited number of children, and any child booked onto a cruise has access to the kids club. If you are planning on taking a cruise during the school holidays then you need to book early as the children's space will sell out. Also, while most cruise lines have kids club facilities there are some exceptions (not common) so you should check this at time of booking.
The chances are you will not get seasick. On a cruise most people do not suffer from motion sickness. However, if you are going to get seasick then it is likely to happen in the first 24 hours. If you limit the amount of alcohol you consume and activities you do in the first 24 hours you can reduce the chance of this happening. Another thing you can do is select a midship cabin on a lower deck. A cabin in the middle of the ship (midship) will experience the least amount of movement.
There are a number of other precautions/medications you can take, and these can be purchased before you travel at a pharmacy or health shop. Otherwise you can buy them on board.
The best thing you can do if you feel seasick is visit the ship's doctor. They can give you an injection that will give you relief from your seasickness within 30 minutes. You have planned and saved for your holiday, don't ruin it by feeling sick. Visit the doctor for the injection and get it treated straight away. If you have travel insurance then you can claim this back.
IMPORTANT: A visit to the doctor on board will cost you money so we strongly recommend you get travel insurance before you depart on your holiday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Shore excursions are pre-organised tours & sightseeing options that you purchase on board for when your ship is in a port of call. Every ship has a "Shore Ex" desk with qualified staff who can advise you of different excursions available, what's best to do and generally help you with information on the particular region your ship is visiting.
Shore excursions can be booked on board your ship however some cruise lines allow you to pre-book and pay for excursions online. If there is a tour you really want to do then we recommend you pre-book it as popular tours do sell out.
Shore excursions are not compulsory, you are free to go ashore and return to the ship as many times as you like.
When you go ashore it is important to note:
You must take your cruise I.D. card (ticket) as proof for re-embarking.
The city or town you are visiting may not be close to the port where the ship is docked, cruise lines normally organise shuttle buses (at a minimal charge) throughout the day to and from the city centre.
You must return to the ship at the stipulated time as the ship WILL NOT wait for late passengers.
Tour costs vary depending on the activity, itinerary and inclusions. There is always a wide variety on offer for all age groups and abilities that can start from as little as $25.
Sometimes you can book your tour, when you arrive at your port, direct from the operator at a much cheaper price. However, this comes with a buyer beware warning. The operators used by the cruise line are trusted professionals so you will not be ripped off. Also, if something goes wrong on your tour, the cruise line knows where you are and will take the necessary steps to pick you up if your vehicle has broken down. In extreme cases they will even hold the ship's departure for you if you are late returning from a tour booked through the ship. They will not wait if you go direct through the operator, as they will not know where you are.
Unlike airlines, there are no luggage restrictions on a cruise. However you need to consider that you need to store it in your cabin for your holiday. There is plenty of storage space in your cabin but if you are travelling in a quad cabin you may want to impose your own restrictions.
NB It is important to remember that airlines have different luggage restrictions, so if you are flying either pre or post cruise then you may want to keep within their allowances.
Cruise lines around the world do not all operate using the same onboard currency. The currency varies from cruise line to cruise line with the most common currency being US dollars. P&O Cruises Australia, Carnival Spirit and the Sun and Dawn Princess all use Australian dollars as their onboard currency.
Cruising is a cashless society which means when you purchase anything on board you do not pay for it in cash. When you board the ship it is like checking into a hotel, you can either give a credit card imprint or the cruise line will take a cash deposit of approximately $300. You are then given a "cruise card". Your cruise card is your door key (on most ships), has your dinner table number on it (for traditional dining), and it is used for making any purchases aboard.
When you make a purchase with your cruise card, it is swiped and a receipt is printed that you will need to sign. The cost of the purchase is then added to your onboard account which you settle at the end of your cruise.
Many cruises on our websites come with onboard credits. This could be from a special promotion that is being run by the cruise line or because of the relationship we have with the cruise lines that allows us to select certain cruises to receive onboard credit. The amount of onboard credit does normally depend on the length of the cruise.
If your reservation receives onboard credit we will confirm this with you in writing and then your onboard account will automatically be in credit for the amount we have confirmed to you. This credit can be used towards any onboard expenditure that is charged back to your cabin. It is important to note that if you do not spend all of your onboard credit it will not be refunded to you in cash so it is best you spend it all while on board.
Tipping/gratuities are a big issue for a lot of Australasian cruise passengers as it is not our custom to reward good service in this way. What cruise passengers need to consider is that outside of Australasia, the remuneration for personnel in the service industry is quite low. Hence, to keep up a high standard, employees have the incentive of earning additional income via the tips they receive. At the end of the day, how much you tip is up to you.
The most common way cruise lines suggest tipping, is that they add a suggested amount to your daily onboard account. You can choose to keep that on your account or you can ask the purser to remove it. This suggested amount is divided out amongst your cabin steward, your dinner waiter, your assistant waiter, your wine steward, and maitre d'.
Some cruise lines ask passengers to wait until the end of the cruise and they discreetly leave an envelope in your cabin in which to place the appropriate amount. Some cruise lines state that the fare you have paid includes gratuities. Some cruise lines ask that you pre-pay the gratuities with your cruise fare prior to your holiday departure.
Again, the amount you tip is up to you (unless it is prepaid) and it isn't intended to have a negative impact on your holiday. Do what feels most comfortable to you.
The rules surrounding where you can smoke on board a cruise ship vary from cruise line to cruise line. However, none have taken steps to ban smoking completely. Most only allow smoking in designated areas on the open decks. Many have banned smoking on cabin balconies as this poses a fire risk.
Many cruise lines have rules restricting you from taking your own alcohol on board your cruise ship. If you have pre purchased duty free alcohol the ship will take it off you when you board and store it away for you. This alcohol will be delivered to your cabin the night before you disembark. The same applies if you purchase it when you are in port. Any purchases made on board will also be delivered the night before you disembark.
However, Princess Cruises will allow you to bring a bottle of wine aboard which you can drink at dinner or in your cabin.
These restrictions were put in place to create a safer environment on board your cruise ship, where people drink within a controlled drinking environment.

I have three male guinea pigs
1. Abysinnian: black and white
2. American shorthair: brown
3. American shorthair: yellow, black, and white
I took them in for a friend who had to find them a home really fast.
They're pretty shy and not used to being handled.
The yellow one likes to nibble on fingers. It would be preferrable to adopt them altogether. Adopting all three comes with an 8 sq. ft pen and a water bottle, possibly food and bedding as well.
Adoption fee: 100 dollars for all three with the accessories or 20 dollars for each piggie
I live in the Jersey City area so I'm looking for NY/NJ inquiries. I'm also willing to go out and bring them to you for your convenience. Please feel free to email me with any questions at email@example.com

Today I have a guest post from one of my good friends, fellow FSU fashion alum & event planning extraordinaire, Sarah of Events Uncorked. Her blog's quickly become one of my favorite reads & makes me want to become a domestic goddess/host parties every weekend!
I have always loved the Fourth of July! It's just one of those no fuss holidays where you can just hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious fare, and watch the fireworks. Every Fourth, I reminded of just how lucky we truly are to live free. And, this year I want to throw a bash inspired by none other than the stars and stripes.
Some easy ways to incorporate both without going over the top are by throwing a striped tablecloth on the table and using starred napkins. For table décor, wrap vases in red, white, and blue ribbons and fill them with equally patriotic buds such as white hydrangeas or red roses. As always, make sure everything is red, white, and blue to keep with the spirit of the day. To entertain guests, I love the idea of giving each sparklers (my favorite!) and a box of matches as they arrive!
When throwing a party, I'm all about keeping the food as simple as possible while still making a big impact. I love things that can be prepared the day before or can be slow cooked in a crock pot till ready to serve. This 4th, make it easy on yourself. Make pulled bbq in the crock pot to serve of sliders and prep a watermelon salad the day before and dress it right before guests arrive. Like the watermelon salad, you can make the macaroni and cheese the day before and put it in the oven right before guests arrive. To make the food look even more irresistible, bake the macaroni in individual servings! That little bit of extra effort is bound to make a big splash!
I don't know about all of you, but my favorite part of any meal is the dessert, which is precisely why I always choose to serve more than one at my soiree. For the 4th, keep it patriotic and on theme with treats colored red, white, and blue. Lastly, throw together a big pitcher of red cocktails and you will be ready to throw your best 4th of July bash ever!
I LOVE all of Sarah's ideas! How are you celebrating the 4th of July?
xoxo, lauren

Sugar Rush: Cinnamon Tres Leches at Ivy Bakery
Your daily dose of something sweet.
Remember the Tres Leches Parfait from Ivy Bakery? We'll they've done one better, and now you can get Cinnamon Tres Leches Parfaits ($5.75). The parfait has the same base elements: house-baked tres leches cake soaked in evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Only this time around you'll taste a distinct note of cinnamon in both the cake and whipped cream. It's fragrant and warm, but not overwhelming. While you're there, keep an eye out for custard pies in the glass case closes to the register. They offer a variety, and if you spot the fresh, creamy Lemon Custard or Chocolate Custard (dark chocolate!), take home a slice or two. You won't regret it.

Question 1: I believe I remember reading somewhere that you can choose to have your area attack affect a smaller area than its full effect would allow. Is this correct?
Question 2: If I choose to make the radius smaller, does the damage bonus also decrease to match the power level it would have taken to create that radius of an explosion?
Example: My Energy Blast +10 with the Area extra could create a 50 ft. radius explosion, but I could choose for the radius to only be 20 ft. If I did so, would the damage bonus of the attack reduce to +4, the power level that would normally create a 20 ft. radius explosion?
Basically, can I voluntarily reduce the radius of an area effect attack without having to reduce the power level of the attack?

Police have released CCTV footage after a man and woman were left with broken ankles after being robbed in Oldham.
Shortly before 12.30am on Monday 4 July 2016, a 43-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, were walking down Huddersfield Road when they were approached by a group of youths.
Both were forced to the ground and assaulted by members of the group, which was made up of boys and girls, before their phones and money was taken from them.
The youths then left in an unknown direction.
The victims were taken to hospital for treatment, with x-rays revealing that they both sustained broken ankles, upper body and head injuries with the woman requiring surgery.
Police have now released CCTV footage of the attack and are appealing for the public's help to identify the group.
Detective Inspector Mark McDowall, of GMP's Oldham borough, said: "This was a brutal attack on two unsuspecting members of the public who needed to be treated for some very serious injuries.
"Although it was late at night when the incident took place, we are hopeful that somebody may recognise the people in this footage or may have witnessed something.
"We would urge anybody that may have information that can help us identify the people responsible for this horrific attack to come forward."
Anybody with information should contact police on 0161 856 9063 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Shares of Carlsbad-based Isis closed at $36.27, up $4.47 from Wednesday. The company's market value now exceeds $4 billion. Isis shares opened the year Jan. 2 at $10.82.
The rise was in part a recognition of the value of Isis' technology, said John McCamant, editor of the Medical Technology Stock Letter. In addition, short investors who bet wrong on the stock's direction were covering their losses, he said.
As of Aug. 30, about 11 percent of Isis shares had been sold short, meaning investors had borrowed the stock, then sold it in hopes of buying it back later at a lower price.
The Phase 1 study treated 24 children aged 9 to 14 months with spinal muscular atrophy, the leading genetic cause of infant death in the United States. The disease causes loss of neurons controlling muscle movement.
The children were given one of four doses. Of those given the two highest doses, Isis said a majority improved in muscle function tests up to 14 months after a single injection of the drug.
The drug, ISIS-SMNRx, uses Isis' gene-blocking antisense technology to counteract a mutation that leads to loss of spinal motor neurons. The mutation causes a loss of a protein that protects the neurons. ISIS-SMNRx causes production of that protein.
In March, an initial report on the trial showed that the drug was well tolerated and showed some sign of effectiveness. Thursday's report was a follow-up.
Isis said that based on the results, it plans to increase the dosage in its Phase 2 study.
McCamant, a longtime Isis watcher, said the drug's results were impressive, and could lead to an early filing for regulatory approval. There is no treatment for spinal muscular atrophy, which makes the Isis drug compelling, and further validates antisense, McCamant said.
Isis was built on antisense technology, and its drugs act through the same mechanism. The company says this shared technology allows it to more rapidly develop new drugs, since experience gained developing one drug can be used on others.
Isis has partnered with several major drug companies, most recently on Sept. 9 with
In January, Isis partner Sanofi SA received approval to sell Kynamro, a cholesterol-lowering drug, for those with a genetic form of severely high cholesterol. This summer, Isis has reported positive Phase 2 data for another drug, ISIS-APOCIIIRx, that lowers levels of triglycerides and "bad" cholesterol, while raising "good" cholesterol.
"You look at the slew of partnerships, the slew of positive data — it's really been a year of execution for the company," McCamant said.

Windfarm Visualisation: Perspective or Perception? by Alan Macdonald
When I decided to pursue building a wind turbine on my farm, a consultant warned me there was a 'better than 50 per cent chance' of receiving hate mail.
Thankfully Alan Macdonald's Windfarm Visualisation sheds some light on ways to manage the controversy surrounding turbines and maintain good relations with you neighbours.
Focussing on the creation imagery for use in planning and consultation, the document provides readers with the knowledge to make informed judgments within this surprisingly complex subject.
Generously illustrated, Macdonald's rigorous technical inquiry delves into the cognitive and optical aspects of visual perception, exploring photography's capabilities and limitations particularly when preparing images of structure's yet to impact on the landscape.
This is particularly relevant for structures such as wind turbines which have few scaling features and can be seen from distances where photography struggles to convey a sense of scale within depth.
A trained architect, Macdonald possesses two decade's experience preparing visual representations for high-rise rojects and wind farms. He claims that current methodology under represents the impact of wind farms and turbines within the landscape, sometimes by as much as four times.
Windfarm Visualisation begins with an accessible introduction to photographic techniques, looking at how different approaches can be used to distort representations.
The second chapter further analyses the perceived deficiencies of existing methods and the scope for improvement of the existing official guidance and standards which are summarised as confused and conflicted. He goes on to argue that better outcomes could be delivered under more robust standards.
This is followed by three chapters addressing the challenges faced in ensuring that once an honest image has been created lay people are properly advised of the way it should be interpreted.
He warns that even a visualisation prepared with integrity is capable of misleading if viewed improperly. 'Always read the meniscus to avoid a parallax error.'
While inevitably an esoteric subject including complex trigonometry and optics, Macdonald has produced a clear and 'straightforward story' accessible to professionals and lay people alike.

I recently received William Dollarhide's book, Map Guide to American Migration Routes, 1735 – 1815. It was a Mothers' Day gift from our daughter & son in law. Published by HeritageQuest in 2000, it is not a new book but it is new to me and I am enjoying it.
|Map Guide to American Migration Routes, 1735 - 1815
This book includes maps and interesting details about our country's oldest roads. The Table of Contents includes: Colonial Roads to 1750, Colonial Roads, 1750 – 1775, Roads to the Ohio Country & Roads to the Old Southwest.
The intent of the Map Guide is to show the routes over which migrating families could travel overland in America before the industrial revolution.
I know some of my early families packed up their children and moved from one part of our country to another. I wanted to learn more about what that move was like. What route did they take? What were the dangers? How long did it take? This book made its way onto my wish list in hopes of answering some of these questions. I started by using the book to discover more about John Brumfield.
My 4th great grandfather was John Brumfield [c1768 – 1834 LA] who married Margaret Kelly [1772 NC –LA]. They were married 23 October 1788 in Wake, NC. Eleven of their children were born in York, SC between the years 1790 – 1811. Then, according to Luke Ward Conerly's Source Records from Pike County, Mississippi, John moved his family to Washington Parish, Louisiana.[1] With further research I found the family in Dorothy Williams Potter's Passports of Southeastern Pioneers.[2]
On 8 November 1811 Georgia issued a passport for John Brumfield, his wife and 11 children to travel through the Indian Nations to the Western Country.[3]
William Dollarhide's book tells me:
In 1805, the United States Government signed a treaty with the Creek Indians which redefined their boundaries and, incidentally, gave the U. S. the right to build and maintain a "horse path" through the Creek lands. The treaty recognized the tribe's autonomy and provided for "passports" to be issued by any of the governors of the U. S. states which would allow whites to travel through this "foreign nation".
The book paints a picture of the Upper Road & the Federal Horse Path which John and family would have traveled on. The horse path crossed many wetlands where raised causeways had to be built. The Creeks operated inns and waystations for travelers. I've learned a little more about what it was like for John, Margaret and their 11 children to relocate. Once they settled in Washington Parish, LA they had two more sons.
Additionally this book tells the readers how to follow our ancestor's routes today, which highways follow the general path of those early paths. I can retrace the Brumfield's footsteps by driving the routes mapped out in the book. Sounds like fun!
