In the movies and popular television dramas, the courtroom exchanges that transpire between attorneys and witnesses and defendants would produce court transcripts that read like a spellbinding crime novel, which is precisely the point. But in real courtroom situations, hours and even days can go by before testimony and cross-examination yield facts and perspectives that are crucial to the outcome of a case. Far from acting as master elicitors of defendant slipups and the revelation of hidden facts from witnesses, attorneys often serve as probing inquisitors who gradually build a case of verbal evidence over the course of long-term court cases.
As a result, the court transcripts that record this evidence can run for hundreds or even thousands of pages, making them unwieldy and difficult to review. However, with computer databases becoming increasingly popular for the storage of archival material, legal officials can now access voluminous court transcripts over the Internet by joining a legal support website that assigns them a password I.D.
In many cases, legal support websites that offer retrieval of court transcripts services also manage the court reporters that produced the transcripts in order to ensure the transcripts' accuracy. In addition to being able to access the transcripts over the Internet, clients of legal support websites can also request transcripts in hard copy, and can request them on an instant or expedited basis.
Before the transcripts are delivered over the Internet or in hardy copy, they are quality checked using a battery of tests to insure that they meet clients' specific requests. As an added quality measure, a statewide quality manager that specializes in ensuring the quality and accuracy of court transcripts continually randomly checks the transcripts. Due to the quality assurance measures and adaptation to clients' requests that they undergo, transcripts received through reputable legal support websites are almost always more accurate and client friendly than transcripts received through traditional means.
To ensure the quality of its court reporters, a reputable legal support website requires that reports present impeccable credential before being considered for a position. In addition to displaying a mastery of every aspect of the court reporting process, applicants must also display a high standard of performance, ethics and professionalism. Because the quality of court transcripts is inseparable from the quality of the court reporters that produce them, the paramount concern of legal services websites that provide accurate court reporting services and transcripts is to hire a team of reporters that will produce accurate reporting results without fail.
Because the job of legal officials is to shape or determine the outcome of a court case based on the evidence provided therein and not to ensure the quality of the resources that chronicle that evidence, providers of accurate court reporting play an essential role in helping legal officials arrive at the correct perspectives and judgments in a timely fashion. Although a court case may require extensive litigation, a legal services website is there to ensure that the litigation is presented with accuracy and clarity.

Dave Urwin - Towards Humanity, signed by the author
This is Dave's first poetry collection. He is a regular at spoken word events across Wales where is poetry is always well received. He has had some of his protest poetry published on the webzine, I Am Not a Silent Poet, haiku published in Blithe Spirit, the journal of the British Haiku Society, and a scattering of poems in other magazines.
Dave's connection with nature (via many years working in agriculture and horticulture) is apparent in his writing yet his work is not limited to that subject, taking in war, love and modern society among other themes.
You may never have read Dave Urwin's poetry before but once you do it sticks with you, he plants words as firmly as he plants the roots of trees. Unsentimental yet insightful, his considerations will resonate with many.
This collection, published by Pinewood Press is signed by the author.

Since I had to delete more and more spam messages from the board every day I decided to allow posting only for registered users. I am sorry, that I had to do this, but the spammers became just too annoying.
Unregistered users can still read all the posts, but to reply or to post a new topic you have to be a registered member.
The reason to do this was not only the fact, that spam appeared, but in some cases these spam messages were dangerous. The messages included links which took the user to websites filled with trojans and viruses.
This board will be a safer place for us all when I try to keep the spammers off the board.

Hi Everyone,
I know that someone modified the mros driver for the Soundpool parallel port midi expander to work with the CT60 modified CAF. But has it been done for the SMPII? I have one, but can never get it to be recognized by CAF on a Falcon in CT60 mode. It works perfectly on my TT.

Started in 1947 by brothers John and Mario Trinchero in St. Helena, California, Trinchero Family Estates (TFE) is now the 4th largest winery in the U.S., with 10,000 acres of vineyards throughout California. TFE offers a growing premium portfolio of more than 22 wine brands, including Sutter Home, one of the best-selling wine brands in the U.S., and Ménage a Trois Red, a best-selling red wine. TFE sells to a growing distributor base across the U.S. and internationally.
After upgrading SAP, TFE began using COPA for the first time. Large volumes of budget data were loaded into SAP manually, and any changes made to sales or customer information were also made manually. Calculations and planning layouts were cumbersome and time-consuming. It took up to two months just to clean up the numbers and upload the data, severely delaying the yearly budgeting process.
"We were having difficulty loading our cost data and some of our other volume data into COPA," says Dale Hopkins, Senior IT Manager, Business Process. "If there were a lot of SKUs, it took a lot of time for the calculations to process within COPA, going between planning versions. If we had to make changes, sometimes the calculations could take up to two days to process."
"Budget Loader allows us to get large volumes of data into SAP quickly, look at our calculations and then easily make additional modifications."
– Dale Hopkins, Senior IT Manager, Business Process
After seeing Z Option's Budget Loader at an SAP Financials conference, Hopkins was intrigued. "I could see the value of the product and the time we would save on the budget planning cycle," he recalls. After evaluating the product with TFE's controller and planning analyst, Budget Loader was purchased.
Once discovered, Hopkins says that he "didn't consider anything else. We were pretty impressed right up front. It was easy to use and I knew Budget Loader would improve our planning processes all the way down to customer and SKU."
At first, TFE had very large spreadsheets which took a long time to process. Over time, they have modified processes to help expedite the data, and all exports now go to one spreadsheet. Cost and volume data is pulled out of SAP into a Cognos planning tool, manipulated, and once approved, exported into Excel then loaded into SAP. Royalty information and expense items are loaded into a Budget Loader template, as well.
Easy Interface with COPA: According to Hopkins, "Budget Loader really helped expedite loading the volume and any related expenses and populate those fields into the COPA tables directly, without having to go through the time-consuming detailed calculations."
Simplified Entries: Budget Loader helps by breaking an entry down into fewer line items. Testing reveals any issues and pinpoints which line item needs to be fixed. "They were not easily locatable or fixable just using the SAP screens. Now, if the pricing is wrong, it can be fixed quickly," Hopkins says.
Quick and Easy Corrections: Through Budget Loader, data is analyzed and issues corrected quickly. Customer and pricing data is loaded into one plan version and cost calculations to another plan version. "Budget Loader speeded up the changes we needed to make," Hopkins reports.
Fast Data Loading: TFE does planning in SAP once per year, and data is loaded by month, by customer, and by product. "In all, it takes about 10-15 minutes to load more than 15,000 lines of data," Hopkins says.
"Budget Loader has reduced our processing time by 80 percent. We know we can make changes and get them back into SAP in a much more timely fashion."
– Dale Hopkins, Senior IT Manager, Business Process
"Fast and easy processes are the new normal," says Hopkins. The KE30 reports allow them to see changes and resolve issues quickly. "Budget Loader saves our Planning Analyst a lot of time, allowing her to deal with more complicated tasks," Hopkins concludes.
Budget Loader also helps the company analyze a plan and provide it to their executive level more quickly. "We get visibility sooner and we are able to make the changes faster," Hopkins says. "That alone has been the biggest win for us."
"It has reduced our budget planning time by two to three months," Hopkins reports. "Our planning is now completed before the end of the fiscal year. The freed-up time allows us to manage other areas besides planning."
"I've always been impressed – not only with the product itself but the Z Option staff who support it," Hopkins continues. "The product is good value and has saved us a lot of time and money over the years."
He adds, "I can't even imagine doing our budget planning without Budget Loader. The manual process was very painful for the analysts – to the point that they considered going outside of SAP to do our planning. Budget Loader allowed us to continue to use the SAP planning solution."

18th May, 2017; 10.00 AM – 5.00 PM
Venue- Auditorium, National Museum, Janpath, New Delhi-110001
Organizers: National Museum
in association with
UNESCO New Delhi Office and DRONAH Foundation
TAACHT (Partition Museum Trust)
The ICOM theme of International Museum Day 2017 is Museums and contested histories: Saying the unspeakable in museums. This theme focuses on the role of museums that, by working to benefit society, become hubs for promoting peaceful relationships between people. It also highlights how the acceptance of a contested history is the first step in envisioning a shared future under the banner of reconciliation.
There is a palpable sense around us these days that our museums in India are going to change, that there is an impending Renaissance. The panel discussions attempt to capture the important moment as we prepare ourselves to make the transition to a different kind of a museum dialogue; one that goes beyond just grand buildings housing precious objects to peoples' museums, tangibles and intangibles. Starting from the Panel discussions on emerging trends in Museums, Collections Care and the scope of Museum Planning and Design in the forenoon sessions, the discussions will move on to Curatorial Voices in later sessions including aspects such as new expressions for 'Lost Memories and Voices' through dialogue on The Partition Museum and the Bhopal gas tragedy that raise questions about the promise and perils of museumising contentious events and an opportunity to dismantle the high-culture-low-culture divide prevalent in our museums and forces the museums to engage with difficult narratives. 'Culture on the go' will specifically focus on museums in public spaces – the mall, metro stations, railways stations and airports or even conversion of urban public spaces into art galleries. The series of expert panel discussions proposed for the International Museum Day, 18th May 2017 emerge from articles in the special publication 'Museum Dialogue in India' a book on Rethinking of Museums in India to be launched on the same day. The book is published by Aryan Publishers and Dronah and edited by museology expert Ms Rama Lakshmi. It covers contributions from a wide range of leading museum experts, curators and professionals across India and abroad.
The panel discussions will be relevant for all in the Museum field – practitioners, professionals, curators, designers, conservators, researchers, administrators, managers and museology students. It will also be relevant for various state government officials involved in museum upgradations and private foundations owning museums.

I mean, I've met people who studied at the AA, Sci-arc, Pratt, Harvard etc. And most of them don't seem like anything special, and a bunch of them are just total idiots. It really seems that it's a rich kid's club, and those institutes would take anyone with a checkbook.
I know that those institutes have high budgets (mainly due to high tuition), and finer facilities and better teaching staff and is more connected to the architecture market or whatever, but it seems like I'm more than capable to compete with people who went to those kind of institutes with my skill set. I don't feel like anyone is a 'better architect' for going to the AA, it just seems like they are just more... connected and rich.
Am I right with my assessment? I finished architecture school recently and I'm looking to go for a masters program in Europe or the US, and everything just seems so fucking expensive that I really have to ask: Is It really worth it?
If you want to work for prestigious firms, you (usually) have to go to a prestigious school. That's not to say people from other schools don't work at those firms, but you're right that connections and alumni network are the main reasons to attend those schools.
Architecture is a service profession for the rich, so no surprise that rich and well connected kids do well out of GSD, Sci-Arc, etc. I would look for cheap European schools to get your masters. Same education for drastically lower prices.
Well what you can do is send applications to all the prestigious schools like Harvard and when they accept you then you can turn them down.
because millennials still believe that spending (or borrowing) 100k+ for a March is a good investment.
Spoiler alert. It's not.
What makes you think a prestigious school would want you?
Aside from the tuition fees.
because your first consideration is that you want to marry well
I think you hit the nail on the head. It's about the connections. I have a friend who was hellbent on working for a starchitect. He spent $180k on his MArch from an Ivy, and now he works for a very good firm. But makes peanuts compared to how much his loan debt is.
If you want to do something specific within architecture or work in a specific region, then find out how to get in that community of people. Otherwise, just find the best school you can reasonably afford and you'll be fine.
People who didn't go there will most likely tell you it isn't worth it.
yea they are exactly the same as your local community college.
Sarcasm or not, Chi has a point In there Rando.
We might even be on the same page, not sure :)
Ivy degrees are required for starchitect firm jobs at minimum wage. It costs a lot of money to be poor in this profession.
If you can go to top school you should.
You will make good connections and start off on a higher plane than those who don't go . But that does not guarantee any success.
You will meet many stupid people everywhere, but less of them at the top.
totally agree with this.
if you just finished undergrad, it would be in your best interest to work for a couple of years before going to grad school just to make sure this is what you want to do...you would be an idiot not to and some real world work might give you a more realistic view of this amazing skill set you claim to have.
I agree, and every dollar you earn in this period will be less you have to borrow latter.
Agreed, and it would give you a better glimpse of the realities of this business before you commit further to it
we hired a Ivy League kid. Kid has crazy credentials... and can do a lot of pretty pictures. Cluessless in how a building gets put together Tried to explain door jambs within a wall assembly and I We have a kid that graduated at a community college that out performs him 5 to 1.
for the prestige. use your brain
Marketing, sales, and branding. To clientele, a Ivy League degree is worth more. Hence why starchitects snatch them up; its simply easier to negotiate ridiculous fees when you show them the resumes of the project team. A Ferrari is worth more than a Porsche and massively more than a Ford, even though it's more likely to break down getting from A to B.... the value is the name, the brand, and how they've sold it to the public.
Starchitects "snatch them up", use their resumes to get the plum jobs, then pay them shit.
Totally Agree with this; but i would say it's the bigger firms where that really matters, SOM, The Big G, KPF etc..
connections, ladder rungs, std's, not much else
Would you rather have a doctor perform surgery on you that graduated top of the class at Johns Hopkins or one that barely scratched through some 3rd rate Tijuana medical school?
we're not the same thing as doctors. That washroom tile pattern elevation will look just the same from a Harvard grad as it will from a U Boston grad...
probably the tijuana dude has seen a lot more shit and can react better than the uptight harvard semigod
If you don't think there is technical aptitude, skill, and talent are required to make an amazing building through slick details and keen understanding of systems integration you are wrong. Sure the interior of a McDonald's bathroom can be drawn by a monkey but that is not what I am talking about...There is a difference between somebody practicing A game level vs. hacks filling the built environment with careless shit...Education and exposure to the best architects might have something to do with it...
And 50k a year will get you that? Sure....
skills and technical aptitude? from grad school? systems integration? sure.
see this comment below? that's what an ivy league will get you, a plum design assignment, and a lot of experienced laborers (oh excuse me for not being royalty) to do the real work for you.
Back in the day we hired Bachelors of Science from technical-oriented schools and avoided the Ivy leagues like the plague. Prentious, overstuffed, undereducated assholes, one and all. Two-year BS degrees ran circles around them.
Now things are different, of course. Appearances are everything.
Architects that equate themselves to Doctors and Surgeons are idiots. In the grand scheme of things, you are no higher than a janitor at a hospital. But you get to wear black all day, everyday, and think you are big deal.
some of my co-workers came from SCI-arch and they get the "plum" design assignments, same with those from GSD and Cornell
What is this the 1980's??? Sounds like a discussion from Bonfire of the Vanities and no I didn't go to an Ivy League School and everyone I have every met who did certainly made a point of letting me know where they went to school. My impression of them has always been the same.... douchebag!
The work should speak for itself, simple as that. Good work is good work, regardless of where you studied, or who you worked for. Name dropping and connections may get your toe in the door ( which is great, I agree ) but the work has to stand up.
Call me crazy, but — you should try to attend the best school that you can reasonably afford. Wow, doesn't that sound like a novel idea?
Oh shut up. Your not as sharp as you think yo u are. It's not point.
Hmm , seems like a logical response.
I want to go to Princeton and watch the Spaniard that was bumped down to make room for the token woman Dean do a slow burn in the corner. Then I could learn a lot from Brad Pitt's squeeze pontificating on ephemeral fabric structures. Worth 60k a year easy. Where's my checkbook...
imagine being dumb enough to think monica ponce de leon is nothing more than a "token woman"
Going to a top school is aligned with ambition and goals. It is much different than rolling off the couch to the local community college cause it's close to home and cheap. Yes there are exceptions to this on both sides...but in general more ambitious people go to top schools because they made the cut in a selective process and are typically exposed to higher level classmates, professors, and practitioners because of it.
Yes, it is not easy to get into top schools. But it does not guarantee success. If one can get into one, one should. One will experience how the top notch people think and work.
There are many successful architects when went to regular schools too.
This is like watching the Indians stampede a herd of buffalo off the cliff.
That's offensive. They prefer to be called bisons.
NS: Ka-ching. Very good.
I've worked with a lot of "ivies" they are more sophisticated than us "state school" types - its us that do all the production though.
I've also noticed that Ivy league grads are more astute in office politics and can maneuver better into the more higher level design situations -
Is it worth all the extra tuition? - then a recession comes along and how can the Ivy league folks pay their high priced loans?
It's a battle between pragmatism and idealism
is it a battle though? you see "them" as idealists? I believe their ideals are more in the bank account and the house in the hamptons than architecture or "work"; that's why the tuition is not an issue, it's a fee to enter the club.
I don't agree with this statement at all. For every brilliant student from a "prestigious" school, I can show you 3-4 that are mediocre at best. The same thing goes for "state" school kids. I've only just graduated a couple of months ago, but the office I'm working at has a mixed bag of employees in every position
Xen, it's a battle between getting fired and doing the firing ;)
so much innocence it hurts : then a recession comes along and how can the Ivy league folks pay their high priced loans? don't ever ask this question openly in your office.
the type of ability, drive and ambition that it takes to get into an ivy, is what it takes to really succeed in architecture as opposed to just getting by busting out retail malls
seems like you made up your mind on the subject, no point in trying to argue, but I will say this; family, tradition and money are usually before ability, drive and ambition when it comes to admissions to those institutions. professional success has also very little to do with those.
As someone that attended one of those institutions without family, tradition, or money, I would say that the real answer is somewhere between what both of you are claiming.
The people at the office where I work that did attend the "top" schools, are all H1-B from China
And where did the people study that tell you what to do?

Joy Lock Club The Joy Luck Club Log #1 In the novel, "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan, the ignorance and disregard of, and the necessity of love are all introduced. As the characters in the story explain their life stories and memories. The characters in "The Joy Luck Club" seemed to take love for granted, by ignoring love and concentrating on material possessions and hiding their true identities. It seems to me that they don't notice or realize loves importance. Harold, Lens St.
Clair's husband is the one character that takes love for granted. This I noticed when Lena leans over him in their car and states, " I love you." He responded by asking Lena a question about his car, which seems to be more important to him, than his relationship with her. Harold does not realize the importance of love. He only thinks about material possessions, since Harold does not show his true nature, he reveals that he had a lack of love for himself as an individual. The love that you have for yourself is a necessity in live, because it provides self-respect " if one respects oneself, one will respect and love others." The story of Lindo Jong provides insight into the concept of revealing your true nature.

To "keep everything inside" as Lindo John provides for not being able to love to his fullest. Lindo Jong hides "under a red marriage scarf" in attempt to shield herself from the outside world. Her hiding demonstrates that to be able to love, you must be able to first reveal your true nature. Ying-Ying St Clair stands as an example of the desire to remain hidden as she says, "all these years I kept my true nature hidden, running along like a small shadow so nobody could catch me." "The image of the shadow relates directly to the red marriage scarf." They both try to conceal their true natures because the result of revealing your true nature self may be that of "pain". The importance of love goes unnoticed, as the characters take love for granted and expect it to occur naturally to them. The case of taking love for granted does occur later, and has its results and consequences.
The characters realize that that they are taking love for granted when they feel meaningless and uncomfortable, and stop doing so by either ending the relationship, or confronting the problem. By not taking love for granted and realizing "there's absolutely nothing left to save" in her marriage, Rose Hsu Jordan recognizes she must divorce her husband. She does not feel comfortable with her life. She comprehends that she is not what she continually pretends to be. Therefor, she stops taking love for granted and ignored it, and moves on to a better, more comfortable life with a feeling of being needed. Lindo Jong compares love to a gill and as to heaven. This hill symbolizes the steps that she must take to truly attain love and enter heaven, her comparison to happiness and a comfortable lifestyle.
Love proves hard to attain but Lindo Jong learns to embrace it and except it as best as she can. The painful feeling, the lifting of the scarf or the shadow opens the door to the true nature of the character. This love provides better understanding and a better love of your own character. It makes the people more comfortable with themselves and makes them feel important, needed, and loved. All in all I believe that this book has taught the true meaning of love, and how not to take it for granted.
Once I completed the book I realized that it wasn't that good, but I still enjoyed it. The one problem that I found with this book was that the characters confused me, also that the chapters switched from one family to the next. I would have liked it more if the novel just went straight through, and I feel that many things were repeatedly said, but not always exactly. In the end this book was good, but not one that I would personally choose to read over again. English Essays.

A Bible Lesson study aid
For Sunday, September 12, 1999, including excerpts from BibleTexts Online Bible Commentary,
with 3 Bible versions' texts, plus other biblical resources to enrich the study of the current Bible Lesson.
This webpage includes links to glossary articles that describe people, places, terms, and books of the Bible. To access those links, just click below on any underlined word or phrase that is followed by an asterisk (for example, disciple*). To use the Sunday School preparation aid, browse http://www.bibletexts.com/bt-tw-ss.htm.
NOTE: The original Hebrew and Greek texts are what actually constitute "the Bible." All other versions, whether in English or in Chinese or in Aramaic, whether produced in 384 or in 1611 or in 1996, are merely translations indirectly derived from those original Hebrew and Greek texts. Some of the footnotes below provide textual corrections that are based upon the most current knowledge of those original Hebrew and Greek texts. Most of those corrections are relevant only to the KJV, because most modern versions such as the NRSV and the TEV were translated from Hebrew and Greek texts that are much more consistent with "the original texts" than those Hebrew and Greek texts from which the 1611 KJV was translated. For more details on these issues, you can browse http://www.bibletexts.com/kjv-tr.htm.
<GT> Romans* 11 - [To further research this Bible citation - click here]
KJV - 33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom* and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
NRSV - 33 O the depth of the riches and wisdom* and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
TEV - "Praise to God" - 33 How great are God's riches! How deep are his wisdom* and knowledge! Who can explain his decisions? Who can understand his ways? 34 As the scripture says, "Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give him advice? 35 Who has ever given him anything, so that he had to pay it back?" 36 For all things were created by him, and all things exist through him and for him. To God be the glory forever! Amen.
KJV - 12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom*, and instruction, and understanding.
NRSV - 12 Apply your mind to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.
19 Hear, my child, and be wise, and direct your mind in the way.
23 Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom*, instruction, and understanding.
TEV - "...Sayings 11..." - 12 Pay attention to your teacher and learn all you can.
" ...Sayings 15..." - 19 Listen, my son, be wise and give serious thought to the way you live. 20 Don't associate with people who drink too much wine or stuff themselves with food. 21 Drunkards and gluttons will be reduced to poverty. If all you do is eat and sleep, you will soon be wearing rags.
"...Sayings 16..." - 22 Listen to your father; without him you would not exist. When your mother is old, show her your appreciation. 23 Truth, wisdom*, learning, and good sense -- these are worth paying for, but too valuable for you to sell. 24 A righteous man's father has good reason to be happy. You can take pride in a wise son. 25 Let your father and mother be proud of you; give your mother that happiness.
KJV - 1 Doth not wisdom* cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. 11 For wisdom* is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom*: I am understanding; I have strength.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. 20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: 21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
NRSV - 1 Does not wisdom* call, and does not understanding raise her voice?
10 Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold; 11 for wisdom* is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
14 I have good advice and sound wisdom*; I have insight, I have strength.
18 Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and prosperity. 19 My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, 21 endowing with wealth those who love me, and filling their treasuries.
TEV - "In Praise of Wisdom" - 1 Listen! Wisdom* is calling out. Reason is making herself heard. 2 On the hilltops near the road and at the crossroads she stands. 3 At the entrance to the city, beside the gates, she calls: 4 "I appeal to you, mankind; I call to everyone on earth. 5 Are you immature? Learn to be mature. Are you foolish? Learn to have sense. 6 Listen to my excellent words; all I tell you is right. 7 What I say is the truth; lies are hateful to me. 8 Everything I say is true; nothing is false or misleading. 9 To the man with insight, it is all clear; to the well-informed, it is all plain. 10 Choose my instruction instead of silver; choose knowledge rather than the finest gold. 11 "I am Wisdom*, I am better than jewels; nothing you want can compare with me. 12 I am Wisdom, and I have insight; I have knowledge and sound judgment. 13 To honor the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil ways and false words. 14 I make plans and carry them out. I have understanding, and I am strong. 15 I help kings to govern and rulers to make good laws. 16 Every ruler on earth governs with my help, statesmen and noblemen alike. 17 I love those who love me; whoever looks for me can find me. 18 I have riches and honor to give, prosperity and success. 19 What you get from me is better than the finest gold, better than the purest silver. 20 I walk the way of righteousness; I follow the paths of justice, 21 giving wealth to those who love me, filling their houses with treasures.
<B1> Psalm* 104 - [To further research this Bible citation - click here]
KJV - 24 O Lord*, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom* hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. 31 The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
NRSV - 24 O LORD*, how manifold are your works! In wisdom* you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
30 When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground. 31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works --
TEV - "In Praise of the Creator" - 24 LORD*, you have made so many things! How wisely* you made them all! The earth is filled with your creatures. 25 There is the ocean, large and wide, where countless creatures live, large and small alike. 26 The ships sail on it, and in it plays Leviathan, that sea monster which you made. 27 All of them depend on you to give them food when they need it. 28 You give it to them, and they eat it; you provide food, and they are satisfied. 29 When you turn away, they are afraid; when you take away your breath, they die and go back to the dust from which they came. 30 But when you give them breath, they are created; you give new life to the earth. 31 May the glory of the LORD last forever! May the LORD be happy with what he has made! 32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles; he touches the mountains, and they pour out smoke. 33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; as long as I live I will sing praises to my God. 34 May he be pleased with my song, for my gladness comes from him. 35 May sinners be destroyed from the earth; may the wicked be no more. Praise the LORD, my soul! Praise the LORD!
KJV - 1 O Lord*, thou hast searched me, and known me.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul* knoweth right well.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
NRSV - 1 O LORD*, you have searched me and known me.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I* know very well.
17 How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 I try to count them -- they are more than the sand; I come to the end -- I am still with you.
TEV - "God's Complete Knowledge and Care" - 1 LORD*, you have examined me and you know me. 2 You know everything I do; from far away you understand all my thoughts. 3 You see me, whether I am working or resting; you know all my actions. 4 Even before I speak, you already know what I will say. 5 You are all around me on every side; you protect me with your power. 6 Your knowledge of me is too deep; it is beyond my understanding.
13 You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because you are to be feared; all you do is strange and wonderful. I* know it with all my heart. 15 When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there -- 16 you saw me before I was born. The days allotted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began. 17 O God, how difficult I find your thoughts; how many of them there are! 18 If I counted them, they would be more than the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
KJV - 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit*: for the Spirit* searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
NRSV - 9 But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him" -- 10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit*; for the Spirit* searches everything, even the depths of God.
TEV - "God's Wisdom" - 9 However, as the scripture says, "What no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love him." 10 But it was to us that God made known his secret by means of his Spirit*. The Spirit* searches everything, even the hidden depths of God's purposes. 11 It is only a person's own spirit within him that knows all about him; in the same way, only God's Spirit knows all about God. 12 We have not received this world's spirit; instead, we have received the Spirit sent by God, so that we may know all that God has given us.
KJV - 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead;...
NRSV - 20 Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made...
TEV - "The Guilt of Mankind" - 18 God's anger is revealed from heaven against all the sin and evil of the people whose evil ways prevent the truth from being known. 19 God punishes them, because what can be known about God is plain to them, for God himself made it plain. 20 Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made. So those people have no excuse at all! 21 They know God, but they do not give him the honor that belongs to him, nor do they thank him. Instead, their thoughts have become complete nonsense, and their empty minds are filled with darkness.
<B5> Luke* 15 - [To further research this Bible citation - click here]
KJV - 11 ...A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
NRSV - 11 ..."There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger of them said to his father, "Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them. 13 A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. 14 When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. 16 He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. 17 But when he came to himself he said, "How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! 18 I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands."' 20 So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. 21 Then the son said to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' 22 But the father said to his slaves, "Quickly, bring out a robe -- the best one -- and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; 24 for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!' And they began to celebrate.
TEV - "The Lost Son" - 11 Jesus went on to say, "There was once a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to him, "Father, give me my share of the property now.' So the man divided his property between his two sons. 13 After a few days the younger son sold his part of the property and left home with the money. He went to a country far away, where he wasted his money in reckless living. 14 He spent everything he had. Then a severe famine spread over that country, and he was left without a thing. 15 So he went to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him out to his farm to take care of the pigs. 16 He wished he could fill himself with the bean pods the pigs ate, but no one gave him anything to eat. 17 At last he came to his senses and said, "All my father's hired workers have more than they can eat, and here I am about to starve! 18 I will get up and go to my father and say, "Father, I have sinned against God and against you. 19 I am no longer fit to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired workers." 20 So he got up and started back to his father. "He was still a long way from home when his father saw him; his heart was filled with pity, and he ran, threw his arms around his son, and kissed him. 21 "Father,' the son said, "I have sinned against God and against you. I am no longer fit to be called your son.' 22 But the father called to his servants. "Hurry!' he said. "Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet. 23 Then go and get the prize calf and kill it, and let us celebrate with a feast! 24 For this son of mine was dead, but now he is alive; he was lost, but now he has been found.' And so the feasting began.
KJV - 5 The Lord* is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
NRSV - 5 The LORD* is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage.
11 You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
TEV - "A Prayer of Confidence" - 3 How excellent are the LORD's faithful people! My greatest pleasure is to be with them. 4 Those who rush to other gods bring many troubles on themselves. I will not take part in their sacrifices; I will not worship their gods. 5 You, LORD*, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands. 6 How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are! 7 I praise the LORD, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me. 8 I am always aware of the LORD's presence; he is near, and nothing can shake me. 9 And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure, 10 because you protect me from the power of death. I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead. 11 You will show me the path that leads to life; your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever.
<B7> Proverbs* 2 - [To further research this Bible citation - click here]
KJV - 1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom*, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord*, and find the knowledge of God.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10 When wisdom* entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
NRSV - 1 My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you, 2 making your ear attentive to wisdom* and inclining your heart to understanding; 3 if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding; 4 if you seek it like silver, and search for it as for hidden treasures -- 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD* and find the knowledge of God.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; 10 for wisdom* will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; 11 prudence will watch over you; and understanding will guard you.
TEV - "The Rewards of Wisdom" - 1 Son, learn what I teach you and never forget what I tell you to do. 2 Listen to what is wise* and try to understand it. 3 Yes, beg for knowledge; plead for insight. 4 Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure. 5 If you do, you will know what it means to fear the LORD* and you will succeed in learning about God. 6 It is the LORD who gives wisdom; from him come knowledge and understanding. 7 He provides help and protection for righteous, honest men. 8 He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to him. 9 If you listen to me, you will know what is right, just, and fair. You will know what you should do. 10 You will become wise*, and your knowledge will give you pleasure. 11 Your insight and understanding will protect you 12 and prevent you from doing the wrong thing. They will keep you away from people who stir up trouble by what they say -- 13 men who have abandoned a righteous life to live in the darkness of sin, 14 men who find pleasure in doing wrong and who enjoy senseless evil, 15 unreliable men who cannot be trusted.
KJV - 22 Understanding* is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it:...
NRSV - 22 Wisdom* is a fountain of life to one who has it,...
TEV - "Solomon's Proverbs" - 17 Those who are good travel a road that avoids evil; so watch where you are going -- it may save your life. 18 Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall. 19 It is better to be humble and stay poor than to be one of the arrogant and get a share of their loot. 20 Pay attention to what you are taught, and you will be successful; trust in the LORD and you will be happy. 21 A wise, mature person is known for his understanding. The more pleasant his words, the more persuasive he is. 22 Wisdom* is a fountain of life to the wise, but trying to educate stupid people is a waste of time.
KJV - 12 Then spake Jesus* again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
NRSV - 12 Again Jesus* spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
TEV - "Jesus the Light of the World" - 12 Jesus* spoke to the Pharisees again. "I am the light of the world," he said. "Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness." 13 The Pharisees said to him, "Now you are testifying on your own behalf; what you say proves nothing."
KJV - 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man* shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
63 It is the spirit* that quickeneth; the flesh* profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
NRSV - 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man* will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal."
45 It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
63 It is the spirit* that gives life; the flesh* is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
TEV - "Jesus the Bread of Life" - 25 When the people found Jesus on the other side of the lake, they said to him, "Teacher, when did you get here?" 26 Jesus answered, "I am telling you the truth: you are looking for me because you ate the bread and had all you wanted, not because you understood my miracles. 27 Do not work for food that spoils; instead, work for the food that lasts for eternal life. This is the food which the Son of Man* will give you, because God, the Father, has put his mark of approval on him."
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; and I will raise him to life on the last day. 45 The prophets wrote, "Everyone will be taught by God.' Anyone who hears the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 This does not mean that anyone has seen the Father; he who is from God is the only one who has seen the Father. 47 I am telling you the truth: he who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died. 50 But the bread that comes down from heaven is of such a kind that whoever eats it will not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. The bread that I will give him is my flesh, which I give so that the world may live."
"The Words of Eternal Life" - 61 Without being told, Jesus knew that they were grumbling about this, so he said to them, "Does this make you want to give up? 62 Suppose, then, that you should see the Son of Man go back up to the place where he was before? 63 What gives life is God's Spirit*; man's power* is of no use at all. The words I have spoken to you bring God's life-giving Spirit. 64 Yet some of you do not believe." (Jesus knew from the very beginning who were the ones that would not believe and which one would betray him.) 65 And he added, "This is the very reason I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father makes it possible for him to do so."

KJV - 14 And Jesus* returned in the power of the Spirit* into Galilee*: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues*, being glorified of all.
NRSV - 14 Then Jesus*, filled with the power of the Spirit*, returned to Galilee*, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. 15 He began to teach in their synagogues* and was praised by everyone.
TEV - "Jesus Begins His Work in Galilee" - 14 Then Jesus* returned to Galilee*, and the power of the Holy Spirit* was with him. The news about him spread throughout all that territory. 15 He taught in the synagogues* and was praised by everyone.
KJV - 11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 12 And when Jesus* saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
NRSV - 11 And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and was quite unable to stand up straight. 12 When Jesus* saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman, you are set free from your ailment." 13 When he laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God.
TEV - "Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath" - 10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue. 11 A woman there had an evil spirit that had kept her sick for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus* saw her, he called out to her, "Woman, you are free from your sickness!" 13 He placed his hands on her, and at once she straightened herself up and praised God. 14 The official of the synagogue was angry that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, so he spoke up and said to the people, "There are six days in which we should work; so come during those days and be healed, but not on the Sabbath!" 15 The Lord answered him, You hypocrites! Any one of you would untie your ox or your donkey from the stall and take it out to give it water on the Sabbath. 16 Now here is this descendant of Abraham whom Satan has kept bound up for eighteen years; should she not be released on the Sabbath? 17 His answer made his enemies ashamed of themselves, while the people rejoiced over all the wonderful things that he did.
KJV - 2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God...3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord*: thy blessing is upon thy people...
NRSV - 2 many are saying to me, "There is no help for you in God." 3 But you, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
8 Deliverance belongs to the LORD*; may your blessing be on your people!
TEV - "Morning Prayer for Help" - 1 I have so many enemies, LORD, so many who turn against me! 2 They talk about me and say, "God will not help him." 3 But you, O LORD*, are always my shield from danger; you give me victory and restore my courage. 4 I call to the LORD for help, and from his sacred hill he answers me. 5 I lie down and sleep, and all night long the LORD protects me. 6 I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies who surround me on every side. 7 Come, LORD! Save me, my God! You punish all my enemies and leave them powerless to harm me. 8 Victory comes from the LORD -- may he bless his people.
KJV - 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
NRSV - 32 the God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe.
TEV - "David's Song of Victory" - 30 This God -- how perfect are his deeds! How dependable his words! He is like a shield for all who seek his protection. 31 The LORD alone is God; God alone is our defense. 32 He is the God who makes me strong, who makes my pathway safe. 33 He makes me sure-footed as a deer; he keeps me safe on the mountains. 34 He trains me for battle, so that I can use the strongest bow.
<B15> Mark* 10 - [To further research this Bible citation - click here]
KJV - 17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus* said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments*, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
28 Then Peter* began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife**, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
** Note: Not only was "or wife" not in the original texts of Mar 10:29, but also the KJV's (and Textus Receptus') teaching to 'leave wife' to follow Jesus, is clearly a misrepresentation of Jesus' genuine teachings as found in the gospels and as witnessed in Paul's letter to the Corinthians (1 Co 7:10-16).
(To explore "Divorce as understood by the Jesus' and the earliest Christians," browse http://www.bibletexts.com/terms/divorce.htm.)
The Greek words translated "or wife" were in the Textus Receptus Greek text that the KJV translators used in their 1611 translation of the Bible; however, these words ("or wife") were added to the Greek texts of Mar 10:29 and Mat 19:29 by a later copiest. This is further attested by the fact that these words "or wife" do not appear in similar passages in the Gospel According to Thomas (Thomas 55:1,2, and Thomas 101:1-3. Though the Gospel According to Thomas is not part of the generally accepted canonical writings of Christians, it does provide another very early witness to some of Jesus' sayings.) "Or wife" has so little manuscript support that it is not even mentioned in the extensive footnotes of the United Bible Society's definitive Greek New Testament, Fourth Revised Edition (1994) or in Bruce Metzger's A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, Second Edition (1993).
According to Mat 19:27, Mar 10:28, and Luk 18:28, Peter "left all" to follow Christ Jesus. By implication, "all" would include those houses and people listed in Mat 19:29, Mar 10:29, and Luk 18:29. According to the synoptic gospels (Mat 8:14; Mar 1:30; Luk 4:38) and according Paul (1Co 9:5), Peter continued to be married and to take his wife with him when he traveled, so "wife" clearly was not included in the "all" that Christians were expected to leave behind in their spiritual (or human) journey.
NRSV - 17 As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 18 Jesus* said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19 You know the commandments*: "You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother."' 20 He said to him, "Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth." 21 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." 22 When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
28 Peter* began to say to him, "Look, we have left everything and followed you." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age -- houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields with persecutions -- and in the age to come eternal life.
TEV - "The Rich Man" - 17 As Jesus was starting on his way again, a man ran up, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to receive eternal life?" 18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus* asked him. "No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments*: "Do not commit murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not accuse anyone falsely; do not cheat; respect your father and your mother." 20 "Teacher," the man said, "ever since I was young, I have obeyed all these commandments." 21 Jesus looked straight at him with love and said, "You need only one thing. Go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me." 22 When the man heard this, gloom spread over his face, and he went away sad, because he was very rich. 23 Jesus looked around at his disciples and said to them, "How hard it will be for rich people to enter the Kingdom of God!" 28 Then Peter* spoke up, "Look, we have left everything and followed you." 29 "Yes," Jesus said to them, "and I tell you that anyone who leaves home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and for the gospel, 30 will receive much more in this present age. He will receive a hundred times more houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields -- and persecutions as well; and in the age to come he will receive eternal life. 31 But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first."
KJV - 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
NRSV - 32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
TEV - "Riches in Heaven" - 32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom. 33 Sell all your belongings and give the money to the poor. Provide for yourselves purses that don't wear out, and save your riches in heaven, where they will never decrease, because no thief can get to them, and no moth can destroy them. 34 For your heart will always be where your riches are. i
<B17> Psalm* 67 - [To further research this Bible citation - click here]
KJV - 1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us;... 2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
NRSV - 1 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, 2 that your way may be known upon earth, your saving power among all nations.
TEV - "A Song of Thanksgiving" - 1 God, be merciful to us and bless us; look on us with kindness, 2 so that the whole world may know your will; so that all nations may know your salvation.
KJV - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord*: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord* shall raise him up;...
NRSV - 14 Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord*. 15 The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord* will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven.
TEV - "Patience and Prayer" - 13 Is anyone among you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? He should sing praises. 14 Is there anyone who is sick? He should send for the church elders, who will pray for him and rub olive oil on him in the name of the Lord*. 15 This prayer made in faith will heal the sick person; the Lord* will restore him to health, and the sins he has committed will be forgiven. 16 So then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect. 17 Elijah was the same kind of person as we are. He prayed earnestly that there would be no rain, and no rain fell on the land for three and a half years. 18 Once again he prayed, and the sky poured out its rain and the earth produced its crops.
KJV - 12 And by the hands of the apostles* were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord*, multitudes both of men and women.)
NRSV - 12 Now many signs and wonders were done among the people through the apostles*. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico.
14 Yet more than ever believers were added to the Lord*, great numbers of both men and women,
TEV - "Miracles and Wonders" - 12 Many miracles and wonders were being performed among the people by the apostles*. All the believers met together in Solomon's Porch. 13 Nobody outside the group dared join them, even though the people spoke highly of them. 14 But more and more people were added to the group -- a crowd of men and women who believed in the Lord*. 15 As a result of what the apostles were doing, sick people were carried out into the streets and placed on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. 16 And crowds of people came in from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing those who were sick or who had evil spirits in them; and they were all healed.
KJV - 1 And when the day of Pentecost* was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord* added to the church daily such as should be saved.
NRSV - 1 When the day of Pentecost* had come, they were all together in one place.
46 Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord* added to their number those who were being saved.
TEV - "The Coming of the Holy Spirit" - 1 When the day of Pentecost* came, all the believers were gathered together in one place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.
"Life among the Believers" - 43 Many miracles and wonders were being done through the apostles, and everyone was filled with awe. 44 All the believers continued together in close fellowship and shared their belongings with one another. 45 They would sell their property and possessions, and distribute the money among all, according to what each one needed. 46 Day after day they met as a group in the Temple, and they had their meals together in their homes, eating with glad and humble hearts, 47 praising God, and enjoying the good will of all the people. And every day the Lord* added to their group those who were being saved.
KJV - 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ* Jesus* throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
NRSV - 20 Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ* Jesus* to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
TEV - "The Love of Christ" - 20 To him who by means of his power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of: 21 to God be the glory in the church and in Christ* Jesus* for all time, forever and ever! Amen.

Total Loss is the first in the Jack Collier series by Fred Lockwood. It is rare for novels to contain any well thought out diving tales, but this one in an exception. The author is Emeritus Professor of Learning and Teaching at Manchester Metropolitan University, but he is also a PADI Master Scuba Diver, and he has combined his talents to create a series of books that feature a team of divers who have set-up the Marine Salvage & Investigation Company – a profession that seems to get them more than their fair share of adventures.
As the Marine Salvage & Investigation Company set off to complete a routine investigation of an ageing freighter that has sunk off the coast of Kenya they have no idea what is in store for them. Adventure above and below the water ensues in this first in the series diving adventure/thriller novels from Fred Lockwood.
As this is the first book in the series, the author spends time allowing the reader to get to know the main characters well. This means this first novel is a little longer and drawn out than those that follow, but it sets the scene and really gives you the time to become invested in the main character, Jack Collier, and his fledgling business. The diving elements of the book have also been very well researched, which really helps you become engaged with the story. You are taken from Liverpool to Dar es Saalam, from Dubai to Delhi, and from the depths of the Atlantic to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Whilst most of the action takes place above the waves, the marine elements are sure to pique the interest of many divers and there is plenty of technical diving action within the story too.
I love a good crime adventure thriller to read on my travels. This novel sees a classic tale of good versus evil, with the baddy, SAM, as a real piece of work that makes you cheer on the good guys in the story. As an aside, as a Manchester resident, I was very pleased to see Jack setting up his new business in my city! You can watch the book trailer below:
If you are looking for a holiday read that includes diving and adventure then following Jack Collier in this series might just be for you. I have read three in the series so far and so watch out for reviews of the following titles coming to Scubaverse soon.

Prime Minister Modi also said that from the cooperation between the two nations was moving ahead from hydrocarbons 'to the hardest form of carbon- diamonds'. The Prime Minister also said that Russia had a huge scope of being a part of the Make in India campaign.

The two leaders also agreed to institutionalise the CEO's Forum with two meetings annually: one in India and one in Russia. After the talks, the two sides are expected to sign a number of pacts to expand cooperation in key areas including defence, nuclear energy, hydrocarbons and trade. Earlier, the Prime Minister paid his tribute to the famed valour of Russia's soldiers by laying wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. During the day, Prime Minister Modi visited EMERCOM -the National Crisis Management Centre, NCMC, in Moscow. He was given an overview of the actual functioning and real-time monitoring operations of the Centre. He was also informed in detail about the coordination among various disaster-relief agencies, which is done by this Centre. The space monitoring and 3D modelling capabilities were also explained. The Prime Minister took keen interest in the disaster prevention and response activities being coordinated by the Centre, as well as its global outreach. He described the work being done by the Centre as a great service to humanity.

Research Companion to Emotion in Organizations
Edited by Neal M. Ashkanasy and Cary L. Cooper
Chapter 15: Learning to Face Emotional Intelligence: Training and Workplace Applications
Catherine S. Daus and Tiffani G. Cage
Catherine S. Daus and Tiffani G. Cage Introduction Emotions research in organizations has increased in the last 20 years. Arguably, this is partly due to the transition from an industrial manufacturing economy to a post-industrial service economy (LeBreton et al., 2004). Now, an organization's ability to deliver quality service is a competitive advantage (Gronroos, 2006). Emotional intelligence, one of the 'key players' in emotion research, has reached a critical point in its emergence as a legitimate scientific and practical construct in the realm of organizational science. While the debate still appears to be alive and well regarding even the actual valid existence of the construct1 for the most part, the discussions and science have moved beyond attempts to distinguish it as a legitimate construct to measurement and practical application concerns. The increased attention on service has generated interest in emotional intelligence or skills training to improve service delivery, which positively affects organizational performance. As noted elsewhere (Ashkanasy & Daus, 2005; Daus & Ashkanasy, 2005; Landy, 2005), unfortunately, practice has preceded science regarding the training of emotional intelligence, a concern of academic critics and proponents alike, of the construct (Ashkanasy & Daus, 2005; Daus & Ashkanasy, 2005; Landy, 2005; Locke, 2005). The fact that many consultants are 'selling' emotional intelligence training without the empirical support is alarming. In this chapter, we shall review the empirical literature on what exactly has been done regarding emotional intelligence training, and then provide needs assessment guidelines for the development and implementation of a scientifically valid,...
