KJV w/Strong# - {19} ...my God <2316> shall supply <4137> all <3956> your <5216> need <5532> according <2596> to his riches <4149> in glory <1391> by Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
NRSV - 19 ...my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
TEV - "Thanks for the Gift" - 14 But it was very good of you to help me in my troubles. 15 You Philippians know very well that when I left Macedonia in the early days of preaching the Good News, you were the only church to help me; you were the only ones who shared my profits and losses. 16 More than once when I needed help in Thessalonica, you sent it to me. 17 It is not that I just want to receive gifts; rather, I want to see profit added to your account. 18 Here, then, is my receipt for everything you have given me -- and it has been more than enough! I have all I need now that Epaphroditus has brought me all your gifts. They are like a sweet-smelling offering to God, a sacrifice which is acceptable and pleasing to him. 19 And with all his abundant wealth through Christ Jesus, my God will supply all your needs.
KJV w/Strong# - {19} Lay not up <2343> for yourselves <5213> treasures <2344> upon earth <1093>, where <3699> moth <4597> and rust <1035> doth corrupt <853>, and where <3699> thieves <2812> break <1358> through <1358> and steal <2813>: {20} But lay up <2343> for yourselves <5213> treasures <2344> in heaven <3772>, where <3699> neither <3777> moth <4597> nor <3777> rust <1035> doth corrupt <853>, and where <3699> thieves <2812> do not break <1358> through <1358> nor <3761> steal <2813>: {21} For where <3699> your <5216> treasure <2344> is, there <1563> will your <5216> heart <2588> be also <2532>.
{24} No <3762> man <3762> can <1410> serve <1398> two <1417> masters <2962>: for either <2228> he will hate <3404> the one <1520>, and love <25> the other <2087>; or <2228> else he will hold <472> to the one <1520>, and despise <2706> the other <2087>. Ye cannot <1410> serve <1398> God <2316> and mammon <3126>.
{31} Therefore <3767> take no <3361> thought <3309>, saying <3004>, What <5101> shall we eat <5315>? or <2228>, What <5101> shall we drink <4095>? or <2228>, Wherewithal <5101> shall we be clothed <4016>? {32} (For after <1934> all <537> these <5023> things do the Gentiles <1484> seek <1934>: for your <5216> heavenly <3770> Father <3962> knoweth <1492> that ye have need <5535> of all <3956> these <5130> things. {33} But seek <2212> ye first <4412> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, and his righteousness <1343>; and all <3956> these <5023> things shall be added <4369> unto you.
NRSV - 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
24 "No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
31 Therefore do not worry, saying, "What will we eat?' or "What will we drink?' or "What will we wear?' 32 For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
TEV - "Riches in Heaven" - 19 "Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. 20 Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. 21 For your heart will always be where your riches are.
"God and Possessions" - 24 "No one can be a slave of two masters; he will hate one and love the other; he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 25 "This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn't life worth more than food? And isn't the body worth more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds? 27 Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it?
31 "So do not start worrying: "Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?' 32 (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. 33 Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things. 34 So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
<B1> Romans 11
KJV w/Strong# - {33} O the depth <899> of the riches <4149> both <2532> of the wisdom <4678> and knowledge <1108> of God <2316>! how <5613> unsearchable <419> [are] his judgments <2917>, and his ways <3598> past <421> finding <421> out!
{36} For of him, and through <1223> him, and to him, [are] all <3956> things: to whom <846> [be] glory <1391> for ever <165>...
NRSV - 33 O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever...
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 w/Strong# - {1} Doth not wisdom <02451> cry <07121>? and understanding <08394> put <05414> forth her voice <06963>?
{6} Hear <08085>; for I will speak <01696> of excellent <05057> things; and the opening <04669> of my lips <08193> [shall be] right <04339> things. {7} For my mouth <02441> shall speak <01897> truth <0571>;...
{18} Riches <06239> and honour <03519> [are] with me; [yea], durable <06276> riches <01952> and righteousness <06666>. {19} My fruit <06529> [is] better <02896> than gold <02742>, yea, than fine gold <06337>; and my revenue <08393> than choice <0977> silver <03701>. {20} I lead <01980> in the way <0734> of righteousness <06666>, in the midst <08432> of the paths <05410> of judgment <04941>: {21} That I may cause those that love <0157> me to inherit <05157> substance <03426>; and I will fill <04390> their treasures <0214>.
NRSV - 1 Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice?
6 Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right; 7 for my mouth will utter truth;...
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.
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.
KJV w/Strong# - {18} ...we look <4648> not at <4648> the things which are seen <991>, but at <4648> the things which are not seen <991>: for the things which are seen <991> [are] temporal <4340>; but the things which are not seen <991> [are] eternal <166>.
NRSV - 18 because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.
TEV - "Living by Faith" - 16 For this reason we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day. 17 And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than the trouble. 18 For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever.
KJV w/Strong# - {12} Now <1161> we have received <2983>, not the spirit <4151> of the world <2889>, but the spirit <4151> which <3588> is of God <2316>; that we might know <1492> the things that are freely given <5483> to us of God <2316>.
{14} But the natural <5591> man <444> receiveth <1209> not the things of the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>: for they are foolishness <3472> unto him: neither <3756> can <1410> he know <1097> [them], because <3754> they are spiritually <4153> discerned <350>.
NRSV - 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.
14 Those who are unspiritual do not receive the gifts of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to them, and they are unable to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
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. 13 So then, we do not speak in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual truths to those who have the Spirit. 14 Whoever does not have the Spirit cannot receive the gifts that come from God's Spirit. Such a person really does not understand them; they are nonsense to him, because their value can be judged only on a spiritual basis.
<B5> Luke 4
KJV w/Strong# - {14} And Jesus <2424> returned <5290> in the power <1411> of the Spirit <4151> into <1519> Galilee <1056>: and there went <1831> out a fame <5345> of him through <2596> all <3650> the region <4066> round <4066> about <4066>. {15} And he taught <1321> in their synagogues <4864>, being glorified <1392> of all <3956>.
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 w/Strong# - {1} And it came <1096> to pass, that, as the people <3793> pressed <1945> upon him to hear <191> the word <3056> of God <2316>, he stood <2476> by the lake <3041> of Gennesaret <1082>, {2} And saw <1492> two <1417> ships <4143> standing <2476> by the lake <3041>: but the fishermen <231> were gone <576> out of them, and were washing <637> [their] nets <1350>. {3} And he entered <1684> into <1519> one <1520> of the ships <4143>, which <3739> was Simon's <4613>, and prayed <2065> him that he would thrust <1877> out a little <3641> from the land <1093>. And he sat <2523> down <2523>, and taught <1321> the people <3793> out of the ship <4143>. {4} Now <1161> when <5613> he had left <3973> speaking <2980>, he said <2036> unto Simon <4613>, Launch <1877> out into <1519> the deep <899>, and let <5465> down <5465> your <5216> nets <1350> for a draught <61>. {5} And Simon <4613> answering <611> said <2036> unto him, Master <1988>, we have toiled <2872> all <3650> the night <3571>, and have taken <2983> nothing <3762>: nevertheless <1161> at <1909> thy word <4487> I will let <5465> down <5465> the net <1350>. {6} And when they had this <5124> done <4160>, they inclosed <4788> a great <4183> multitude <4128> of fishes <2486>: and their net <1350> brake <1284>. {7} And they beckoned <2656> unto [their] partners <3353>, which <3588> were in the other <2087> ship <4143>, that they should come <2064> and help <4815> them. And they came <2064>, and filled <4130> both <297> the ships <4143>, so <5620> that they began to sink <1036>. {8} When Simon <4613> Peter <4074> saw <1492> [it], he fell <4363> down at <4363> Jesus <2424>' knees <1119>, saying <3004>, Depart <1831> from me; for I am <1510> a sinful <268> man <435>, O Lord <2962>. {9} For he was astonished <2285>, and all <3956> that were with him, at <1909> the draught <61> of the fishes <2486> which <3739> they had taken <4815>:
NRSV - 1 Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2 he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch." 5 Simon answered, "Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets." 6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!" 9 For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken;
TEV - "Jesus Calls the First Disciples" - 1 One day Jesus was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret while the people pushed their way up to him to listen to the word of God. 2 He saw two boats pulled up on the beach; the fishermen had left them and were washing the nets. 3 Jesus got into one of the boats -- it belonged to Simon -- and asked him to push off a little from the shore. Jesus sat in the boat and taught the crowd. 4 When he finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Push the boat out further to the deep water, and you and your partners let down your nets for a catch." 5 "Master," Simon answered, "we worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I will let down the nets." 6 They let them down and caught such a large number of fish that the nets were about to break. 7 So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats so full of fish that the boats were about to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw what had happened, he fell on his knees before Jesus and said, "Go away from me, Lord! I am a sinful man!" 9 He and the others with him were all amazed at the large number of fish they had caught. 10 The same was true of Simon's partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."
<B7> Malachi 3
KJV w/Strong# - {6} ...I [am] the LORD <03068>, I change <08138> not; therefore ye sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> are not consumed <03615>.
NRSV - 6 For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, have not perished.
TEV - "The Payment of Tithes" - 6 "I am the LORD, and I do not change. And so you, the descendants of Jacob, are not yet completely lost.
KJV w/Strong# - {12} I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth <05162> you: who <04310> [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid <03372> of a man <0582> [that] shall die <04191>, and of the son <01121> of man <0120> [which] shall be made <05414> [as] grass <02682>; {13} And forgettest <07911> the LORD <03068> thy maker <06213>, that hath stretched <05186> forth the heavens <08064>, and laid the foundations <03245> of the earth <0776>;...
NRSV - 12 I, I am he who comforts you; why then are you afraid of a mere mortal who must die, a human being who fades like grass? 13 You have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth....
TEV - "Words of Comfort to Jerusalem" - 12 The LORD says, "I am the one who strengthens you. Why should you fear mortal man, who is no more enduring than grass? 13 Have you forgotten the LORD who made you, who stretched out the heavens and laid the earth's foundations? Why should you live in constant fear of the fury of those who oppress you, of those who are ready to destroy you? Their fury can no longer touch you. 14 Those who are prisoners will soon be set free; they will live a long life and have all the food they need.
KJV w/Strong# - {1} O LORD <03068>, thou hast searched <02713> me, and known <03045> [me].
{14} I will praise <03034> thee; for I am fearfully <03372> [and] wonderfully <06395> made: marvellous <06381> [are] thy works <04639>; and [that] my soul <05315> knoweth <03045> right well.
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.
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.
KJV w/Strong# - {4} For thou, LORD <03068>, hast made me glad <08056> through thy work <06467>: I will triumph <07442> in the works <04639> of thy hands <03027>.
{12} The righteous <06662> shall flourish <06524> like the palm <08558> tree: he shall grow <07685> like a cedar <0730> in Lebanon <03844>. {13} Those that be planted <08362> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> shall flourish <06524> in the courts <02691> of our God <0430>. {14} They shall still <05750> bring <05107> forth <05107> fruit <05107> in old <07872> age <07872>; they shall be fat <01879> and flourishing <07488>; {15} To shew <05046> that the LORD <03068> [is] upright <03477>: [he is] my rock <06697>, and [there is] no <03808> unrighteousness <05766> in him.
NRSV - 4 For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. 14 In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap, 15 showing that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. lop
TEV - "A Song of Praise" - 1 How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD, to sing in your honor, O Most High God, 2 to proclaim your constant love every morning and your faithfulness every night, 3 with the music of stringed instruments and with melody on the harp. 4 Your mighty deeds, O LORD, make me glad; because of what you have done, I sing for joy.
12 The righteous will flourish like palm trees; they will grow like the cedars of Lebanon. 13 They are like trees planted in the house of the LORD, that flourish in the Temple of our God, 14 that still bear fruit in old age and are always green and strong. 15 This shows that the LORD is just, that there is no wrong in my protector.
KJV w/Strong# - {17} Every <3956> good <18> gift <1394> and every <3956> perfect <5046> gift <1394> is from above <509>, and cometh down <2597> from the Father <3962> of lights <5457>, with whom <3739> is no <3756> variableness <3883>, neither <2228> shadow <644> of turning <5157>.
NRSV - 17 Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
TEV - "Testing and Tempting" - 16 Do not be deceived, my dear brothers! 17 Every good gift and every perfect present comes from heaven; it comes down from God, the Creator of the heavenly lights, who does not change or cause darkness by turning. 18 By his own will he brought us into being through the word of truth, so that we should have first place among all his creatures.
<B12> Luke 8
KJV w/Strong# - {40} And it came <1096> to pass, that, when <3588> Jesus <2424> was returned <5290>, the people <3793> [gladly] received <588> him: for they were all <3956> waiting <4328> for him.
NRSV - 40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
TEV - "Jairus' Daughter and the Woman Who Touched Jesus' Cloak" - 40 When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed him, because they had all been waiting for him. 41 Then a man named Jairus arrived; he was an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, 42 because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side.
KJV w/Strong# - {13} And one <5100> of the company <3793> said <2036> unto him, Master <1320>, speak <2036> to my brother <80>, that he divide <3307> the inheritance <2817> with me. {14} And he said <2036> unto him, Man <444>, who <5101> made <2525> me a judge <1348> or <2228> a divider <3312> over <1909> you? {15} And he said <2036> unto them, Take heed <3708>, and beware <5442> of covetousness <4124>: for a man's <5100> life <2222> consisteth <2076> not in the abundance <4052> of the things which he possesseth <5224>.
{33} Sell <4453> that ye have <5224>, and give <1325> alms <1654>; provide <4160> yourselves <1438> bags <905> which wax <3822> not old <3822>, a treasure <2344> in the heavens <3772> that faileth <413> not, where <3699> no <3756> thief <2812> approacheth <1448>, neither <3761> moth <4597> corrupteth <1311>.
NRSV - 13 Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me." 14 But he said to him, "Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?" 15 And he said to them, "Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions."
33 Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
TEV - "The Parable of the Rich Fool" - 13 A man in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the property our father left us." 14 Jesus answered him, "Man, who gave me the right to judge or to divide the property between you two?" 15 And he went on to say to them all, "Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because a person's true life is not made up of the things he owns, no matter how rich he may be."
"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.
KJV w/Strong# - {4} Rejoice <5463> in the Lord <2962> alway <3842>: [and] again <3825> I say <2046>, Rejoice <5463>. {5} Let your <5216> moderation <1933> be known <1097> unto all <3956> men <444>. The Lord <2962> [is] at <1451> hand <1451>.
{8} Finally <3063>, brethren <80>, whatsoever <3745> things are true <227>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] honest <4586>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] just <1342>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] pure <53>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] lovely <4375>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] of good <2163> report <2163>; if <1487> [there be] any <1536> virtue <703>, and if <1487> [there be] any <1536> praise <1868>, think <3049> on these <5023> things. {9} Those <5023> things, which <3739> ye have both <2532> learned <3129>, and received <3880>, and heard <191>, and seen <1492> in me, do <4238>: and the God <2316> of peace <1515> shall be with you.
NRSV - 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.
8 Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
TEV - "Instructions" - 1 So then, my brothers, how dear you are to me and how I miss you! How happy you make me, and how proud I am of you! -- this, dear brothers, is how you should stand firm in your life in the Lord. 2 Euodia and Syntyche, please, I beg you, try to agree as sisters in the Lord. 3 And you too, my faithful partner, I want you to help these women; for they have worked hard with me to spread the gospel, together with Clement and all my other fellow workers, whose names are in God's book of the living. 4 May you always be joyful in your union with the Lord. I say it again: rejoice! 5 Show a gentle attitude toward everyone. The Lord is coming soon. 6 Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. 7 And God's peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus. 8 In conclusion, my brothers, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable. 9 Put into practice what you learned and received from me, both from my words and from my actions. And the God who gives us peace will be with you.
<B15> Psalm 37
KJV w/Strong# - {37} Mark <08104> the perfect <08535> [man], and behold <07200> the upright <03477>: for the end <0319> of [that] man <0376> [is] peace <07965>.
NRSV - 37 Mark the blameless, and behold the upright, for there is posterity for the peaceable.
TEV - "The Destiny of the Wicked and of the Good" - 35 I once knew a wicked man who was a tyrant; he towered over everyone like a cedar of Lebanon; 36 but later I passed by, and he wasn't there; I looked for him, but couldn't find him. 37 Notice the good man, observe the righteous man; a peaceful man has descendants, 38 but sinners are completely destroyed, and their descendants are wiped out.
KJV w/Strong# - {1} Comfort <05162> ye, comfort <05162> ye my people <05971>, saith <0559> your God <0430>.
{4} Every <03605> valley <01516> shall be exalted <05375>, and every <03605> mountain <02022> and hill <01389> shall be made low <08213>: and the crooked <06121> shall be made straight <04334>, and the rough <07406> places plain <01237>: {5} And the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> shall be revealed <01540>, and all <03605> flesh <01320> shall see <07200> [it] together <03162>: for the mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> [it].
NRSV - 1 Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.
4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. 5 Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
TEV - "Words of Hope" - 1 "Comfort my people," says our God. "Comfort them! 2 Encourage the people of Jerusalem. Tell them they have suffered long enough and their sins are now forgiven. I have punished them in full for all their sins." 3 A voice cries out, "Prepare in the wilderness a road for the LORD! Clear the way in the desert for our God! 4 Fill every valley; level every mountain. The hills will become a plain, and the rough country will be made smooth. 5 Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind will see it. The LORD himself has promised this."
KJV w/Strong# - {12} And by the hands <5495> of the apostles <652> were many <4183> signs <4592> and wonders <5059> wrought <1096> among <1722> the people <2992>;...
{16} There came <4905> also <2532> a multitude <4128> [out] of the cities <4172> round <4038> about <4038> unto Jerusalem <2419>, bringing <5342> sick <772> folks, and them which were vexed <3791> with unclean <169> spirits <4151>: and they were healed <2323> every <537> one.
NRSV - 12 Now many signs and wonders were done among the people through the apostles...
16 A great number of people would also gather from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all cured.
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 w/Strong# - {8} And there sat <2521> a certain <5100> man <435> at <1722> Lystra <3082>, impotent <102> in his feet <4228>, being <5225> a cripple <5560> from his mother's <3384> womb <2836>, who <3739> never <3763> had walked <4043>: {9} The same <3778> heard <191> Paul <3972> speak <2980>: who <3739> stedfastly <816> beholding <816> him, and perceiving <1492> that he had <2192> faith <4102> to be healed <4982>, {10} Said <2036> with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, Stand <450> upright <3717> on <1909> thy feet <4228>. And he leaped <242> and walked <4043>.
NRSV - 8 In Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet and had never walked, for he had been crippled from birth. 9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. And Paul, looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And the man sprang up and began to walk.
TEV - "In Lystra and Derbe" - 8 In Lystra there was a crippled man who had been lame from birth and had never been able to walk. 9 He sat there and listened to Paul's words. Paul saw that he believed and could be healed, so he looked straight at him 10 and said in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" The man jumped up and started walking around. 11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they started shouting in their own Lycaonian language, "The gods have become like men and have come down to us!" 12 They gave Barnabas the name Zeus, and Paul the name Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13 The priest of the god Zeus, whose temple stood just outside the town, brought bulls and flowers to the gate, for he and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifice to the apostles.
<B19> Luke 6
KJV w/Strong# - {31} And as ye would <2309> that men <444> should do <4160> to you, do <4160> ye also <2532> to them likewise <3668>.
{38} Give <1325>, and it shall be given <1325> unto you; good <2570> measure <3358>, pressed <4085> down, and shaken <4531> together, and running <5240> over <5240>, shall men give <1325> into <1519> your <5216> bosom <2859>. For with the same <846> measure <3358> that ye mete <3354> withal it shall be measured <488> to you again <488>.
{45} A good <18> man <444> out of the good <18> treasure <2344> of his heart <2588> bringeth <4393> forth <4393> that which is good <18>;...
NRSV - 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
38 give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back."
45 The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.
TEV - "Love for Enemies" - 27 "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If anyone hits you on one cheek, let him hit the other one too; if someone takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well. 30 Give to everyone who asks you for something, and when someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. 31 Do for others just what you want them to do for you.
"Judging Others" - 37 "Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you. 38 Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands -- all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you." 39 And Jesus told them this parable: "One blind man cannot lead another one; if he does, both will fall into a ditch. 40 No pupil is greater than his teacher; but every pupil, when he has completed his training, will be like his teacher.
"A Tree and Its Fruit" - 43 "A healthy tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a poor tree bear good fruit. 44 Every tree is known by the fruit it bears; you do not pick figs from thorn bushes or gather grapes from bramble bushes. 45 A good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
KJV w/Strong# - {8} Heal <2323> the sick <770>, cleanse <2511> the lepers <3015>, raise <1453> the dead <3498>, cast <1544> out devils <1140>: freely <1432> ye have received <2983>, freely <1432> give <1325>.
NRSV - 8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment.
TEV - "The Mission of the Twelve" - 5 These twelve men were sent out by Jesus with the following instructions: "Do not go to any Gentile territory or any Samaritan towns. 6 Instead, you are to go to the lost sheep of the people of Israel. 7 Go and preach, "The Kingdom of heaven is near!' 8 Heal the sick, bring the dead back to life, heal those who suffer from dreaded skin diseases, and drive out demons. You have received without paying, so give without being paid. 9 Do not carry any gold, silver, or copper money in your pockets; 10 do not carry a beggar's bag for the trip or an extra shirt or shoes or a walking stick. A worker should be given what he needs.
KJV w/Strong# - {13} For [I mean] not that other <243> men be eased <425>, and ye burdened <2347>: {14} But by an equality <2471>, [that] now <3568> at <1722> this <3568> time <2540> your <5216> abundance <4051> [may be a supply] for their want <5303>, that their abundance <4051> also <2532> may be [a supply] for your <5216> want <5303>: that there may be equality <2471>:
NRSV - 13 I do not mean that there should be relief for others and pressure on you, but it is a question of a fair balance between 14 your present abundance and their need, so that their abundance may be for your need, in order that there may be a fair balance.
TEV - "Christian Giving" - 13...14 I am not trying to relieve others by putting a burden on you; but since you have plenty at this time, it is only fair that you should help those who are in need. Then, when you are in need and they have plenty, they will help you. In this way both are treated equally. 15 As the scripture says, "The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little."
KJV w/Strong# - {8} And God <2316> [is] able <1415> to make <4052> all <3956> grace <5485> abound <4052> toward <1519> you; that ye, always <3842> having <2192> all <3956> sufficiency <841> in all <3956> [things], may abound <4052> to every <3956> good <18> work <2041>: {9} (As it is written <1125>, He hath dispersed <4650> abroad <4650>; he hath given <1325> to the poor <3993>: his righteousness <1343> remaineth <3306> for ever <165>. {10} Now <1161> he that ministereth <2023> seed <4690> to the sower <4687> both <2532> minister <5524> bread <740> for [your] food <1035>, and multiply <4129> your <5216> seed <4703> sown, and increase <837> the fruits <1081> of your <5216> righteousness <1343>;) {11} Being enriched <4148> in every <3956> thing to all <3956> bountifulness <572>, which <3748> causeth <2716> through <1223> us thanksgiving <2169> to God <2316>. {12} For the administration <1248> of this <5026> service <3009> not only <3440> supplieth <4322> the want <5303> of the saints <40>, but is abundant <4052> also <2532> by many <4183> thanksgivings <2169> unto God <2316>;
NRSV - 8 And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work. 9 As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." 10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God through us; 12 for the rendering of this ministry not only supplies the needs of the saints but also overflows with many thanksgivings to God.
TEV - "Help for Fellow Christians" - 5 So I thought it was necessary to urge these brothers to go to you ahead of me and get ready in advance the gift you promised to make. Then it will be ready when I arrive, and it will show that you give because you want to, not because you have to. 6 Remember that the person who plants few seeds will have a small crop; the one who plants many seeds will have a large crop. 7 Each one should give, then, as he has decided, not with regret or out of a sense of duty; for God loves the one who gives gladly. 8 And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause. 9 As the scripture says, "He gives generously to the needy; his kindness lasts forever." 10 And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity. 11 He will always make you rich enough to be generous at all times, so that many will thank God for your gifts which they receive from us. 12 For this service you perform not only meets the needs of God's people, but also produces an outpouring of gratitude to God.

Prenatal Yoga with Kara Knott – Tuesdays at 6:30pm
Prenatal yoga empowers expectant mothers in their 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters toward the birth mind space they're creating for their delivery via conscious, present connection with their baby during the nurturing of their body in yoga class. This nurturing is the combination of breath, posture, and meditation to increase mind/body/baby awareness, and in turn enhance the rewards, and soothe the challenges of pregnancy.
Prenatal yoga has been shown to:
- Help back and neck pain and tension
- Sciatica
- Heartburn
- Swelling of the limbs
Yoga helps bring a deep awareness and a sense of joy to life when we need it most. As I like to say, "Move a muscle, change a thought!"
Classes will be held at Simpson Family Wellness on Tuesdays at 6pm. The 3rd Tuesday of each month, we encourage students to attend ICAN's monthly meeting at 6:30pm.
Drop ins: $12, 5 classes: $55, 10 classes: $100
Kara Knott received her 200 hour yoga teacher training at the Kripalu Institute of Yoga, in Lenox, MA in 2011. She chose this training because of the lineage's belief that yoga can be made accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability or experience.
Kara transmits her joy of life by incorporating fun and experimentation to her yoga classes. By endeavoring to live in the present moment and cultivating a sense of playfulness, the student develops a yoga practice that can clear away all that has been layered over the true self, clouding the inherent divinity. From a strong foundation in anatomy and alignment Kara guides students to explore posture adjustments that work best for their bodies in that moment. Students can be expected to be both challenged and reassured as they practice.

By Rafael Soto
Later tonight, former welterweight champion Antonio "Tornado de Tijuana" Margarito (40-8-0, 27 KO's) will return to the ring against Carson "Mr" Jones (40-11-3, 30 KO's) in a ten round, super welterweight encounter at the "Manuel Bernardo Aguirre" Gymnasium in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Margarito is already targeting some unfinished business - a trilogy showdown with Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto (41-5, 33 KOs) in December.
Last Saturday night, Cotto returned to the ring and captured the vacant WBO junior middleweight title with a twelve round decision over Yoshihiro Kamegai.
In 2008, they collided for the WBA welterweight title in Las Vegas, with Cotto suffering his first career defeat by way of an eleven round stoppage.
They had their rematch take place in the fall of 2011, with Cotto getting revenge with a ninth round stoppage after the ringside doctor felt Margarito's right eye was too badly swollen to continue in the fight.
Margarito was livid over the stoppage, as many felt he was starting to come on in the fight.
Because of the right eye issue, he walked away from the sport for four years and finally made his return in early 2016. And this will be his third fight in the comeback. The first two bouts saw Margarito pick up victories over Jorge Paez Jr. and Canelo's older brother Ramon Alvarez.
With Cotto planning to retire in December, Margarito wants to be the fighter who sends him packing. But in order to put himself in the conversation, he must overcome the challenge of Jones.
"I repeat: I will win on Saturday, it will be a great fight and then I will ask for Miguel Cotto - because I want to retire him in December. That rivalry is still not over.

In his fight for civil rights, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired Americans to think beyond themselves, look past differences and work toward equality. He encouraged all citizens to unite and take action to make the United States a better place to live.
In honor of the civil rights leader, the Damietta Center for Multicultural Student Affairs at St. Bonaventure University will host a weeklong sit-in to protest contemporary injustices that plague society. The Sit-in for Injustice will be held from Tuesday, Jan. 22, through Friday, Jan. 25.
"We have an obligation as a university that cherishes individual worth as one of its core values to never lose sight of the injustice that still exists in our society," said Dr. Dennis R. DePerro, university president. "This isn't someone else's problem. This is a problem we all must address, and events like these are important to remind us that there is still so much work to be done."
The sit-in will be held in the main lobby of the Reilly Center. Each of the four days will draw attention to a different injustice: Jan. 22, racial and ethnic disparities in incarceration; Jan. 23, sexual assault; Jan. 24, gender wage gap; and Jan. 25, equal rights for all.
Members of the campus community who would like to participate in the sit-in can sign up online to sit in silence for 30 minutes to an hour. Online registration is available here.
In addition, the Damietta Center will host a guest speaker at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, in the Walsh Amphitheater. Tiffany M. Nyachae, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Elementary Education, Literacy, and Educational Leadership at SUNY Buffalo State, will be speaking to the theme of the week and what the SBU community can do to work toward justice in an unjust climate. Hors d'oeuvres and other light refreshments will be served. The program is free and open to the public.
On Friday, Jan. 25, join Parker Suddeth, coordinator of the Damietta Center for Multicultural Student Affairs, at noon in the Reilly Center lobby. Suddeth will brainstorm ways the community can raise awareness of injustices that not only occur locally, but nationally and globally.
For more information about MLK Week events, contact Parker Suddeth, coordinator of the Damietta Center for Multicultural Student Affairs, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Oscar Pistorius trial highlights issue of domestic abuse
Media Release from Shine (Safer Homes in New Zealand Everyday)
12 September 2014
Oscar Pistorius trial highlights issue of domestic abuse
In the wake of the Oscar
Pistorius trial, it is vital for the public to understand
some facts about domestic abuse:
Domestic abuse cuts across demographics and cultures. It happens to and is perpetrated by the rich and poor, and in every country and ethnic group.
Controlling and jealous behaviour is a classic sign of abuse. There were reports of Pistorius showing possessive and jealous behaviour towards Reeva Steenkamp. The fact that he was also charming and loving to her does not negate the probability of abuse in the relationship, as in most abusive relationships the perpetrator has 'Jekyl and Hyde' behaviour. Perpetrators will often keep the violence private so that the public, and even close friends and family, will often believe that he is nothing but charming.
While violence is a very effective way to control someone's behaviour within a relationship, victims often report that, in the long term, psychological abuse is more damaging and harder to recover from.
While any level of domestic abuse is unacceptable,
when abuse is suspected, friends, family and others around
the couple should be on the lookout for signs that there the
victim is in great danger of being killed. Two of these
signs that are relevant to Pistorius are:
• Use of firearms, especially when the perpetrator has training and experience in using them
• History of violence, especially public violence as this may mean the perpetrator is not deterred by the risk of arrest, and also domestic violence, as past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour. A South African Police spokesperson said that there had previous domestic violence reports at Oscar's home. He was arrested in 2009 for physically assaulting a 19-year-old girl at his house.
The fact that Reeva campaigned publicly against domestic violence does not mean that she was not also a victim of abuse. Many strong women, sometimes in powerful positions, and sometimes famous, have disclosed being victims of abuse. Sometimes it is harder for women in these situations to come forward because of shame and embarrassment, and the risk of losing their status.
Help is available. Shine's Helpline 0508-744-633 operates seven days a week, from 9am to 11pm.
Shine makes New Zealand homes violence free. We are a leading national agency providing a range of specialist services and programmes all aimed at assisting victims of domestic abuse to become safer and preferably remain in their own home. Our national tollfree Helpline is 0508 744 633.

Check out the latest road meet info for one nearor as far as possible fromyou
I'm really looking forward to the road meet that Steve Alpert is hosting at the end of June. I'm taking Thursday, Friday, and Monday off from work to go. Wednesday night I'm planning to drive down to Toledo, and then Thursday I'll be driving from Toledo to someplace southwest of Edison, New Jersey.
Do you know where exactly you're staying? SW of Edison sounds like either New Brunswick, Somerset, or Franklin Township.
I think I've got my plan. Is there anyone who lives near U.S. 224 in Ohio or U.S. 422/22 in western PA that knows of any construction or other slowdowns I should be aware of? I'm getting ready to do this drive next Thursday, June 26.
I do have one observation: I found it a little silly that a couple of the BGS's eastbound on the Turnpike near Harrisburg said "State Capital" on them. They said "Harrisburg State Capital". I could understand if the Turnpike Authority wanted to tell us where the Capitol (building) is, but for them to educate motorists that Harrisburg is the state capital is kinda silly in my opinion. If they are going to say "Harrisburg State Capital" they should at least put "State Capital" in parantheses. LOL

Homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Why bother. Right?
Wrong! These are so good! You will never buy them again!
Dare I say, they may be better than the real thing?
You don't need the special mold as I show you in the video, but they are quite affordable if you want them to look like the real thing.
And Candyland Crafts will ship them to you worldwide!
Click here for the exact chocolate molds I used
You can of course make these easily in paper lined cupcake tins if you don't want to spring for those molds.
In the video tutorial below I show you both ways to do it, so just take your pick!
These little candy's take no more than an hour to make for a first time, and once you do it again you will get even faster!
These are seriously a fast, fun, delicious treat that can be made on a whim!
I am sure you already have at least 3 of the 4 ingredients listed and the 4th ingredient (graham crackers) can be left out!
I do like that addition though, that addition really makes this recipe so close to the real thing!
You will have to temper your chocolate though to make sure that it sets, since chocolate that is not tempered properly will not set correctly or could just stay melt-y and sticky and that will be no fun!
Click here for How to Temper Chocolate, video tutorial included!
- Creamy Peanut Butter 1 Cup (256g)
- Confectioner's Sugar ½ Cup (63g)
- Graham Cracker Crumbs ¼ cup (36g)
- Salt ¼ teaspoon
- Vegan Semi Sweet Chocolate 1 lb (454g)
- Cream the peanut butter with the confectioners sugar, graham crackers and salt.
- Pipe or spread into chocolate the chocolate molds, OR into paper cupcake liners in a cupcake tin if you don't want to buy the molds.
- Layer with the peanut butter cream and then another layer of chocolate
- Allow to set and then pop them out of the molds!
- Watch the video tutorial for how to do it!

Cicheti – Wine and Venetian-style Snacks
The Longer Read
Cicheti opened in early December 2018. It's a wine bar/restaurant offering tapas style snacks.
Cicheti (Chee-keti) are a Venice thing. The comparison with tapas is a fair one; the Venetian tradition of andar a cicheti means to head off for a glass of wine and a cicheti (little snack) in a bàcaro or two. A bàcaro is somewhere between a bar and restaurant and pub. It's a type of its own, but a good one is cheerful and welcoming. If you're visiting Venice and looking for nightlife, you can basically forget it, but a tour of bàcari will make up for that.
Cicheti, (the Cheltenham wine bar) is a pleasant space. It's smallish, like a wine bar should be, spotlessly clean with big wooden tables, the sort of place where its easy to find a quiet corner for a spot of gossip. The short wine list reads well with, for example, in the red corner: an entry level Valpolicello, a Sicily Allegro (Nero D'Avola ?) at £4 and a Super Tuscan at £6.50. Several wines were unavailable when we called in. Crostini can be ordered to accompany drinks, at £2 a pop, cheese plates and meat plates at £7. As with tapas, Venetian cicheti can be mundane or ambitious according to the chef's skills. The cheese plate had 5 cheeses, all in pretty good nick.
Cheltenham's Most Interesting Foodie Street
Cicheti joins several other good things in Regent Street which is now Cheltenham's most interesting foodie street, next to such places as Koj, CheeseWorks, Coffee Dispensary and Kibou. We liked it. The chap behind the bar was't particularly clued up on the wines, but a friendly sort. Greek though, so stood out a bit in this most Italian of Cheltenham wine bars.
Favourite new fact discovered whilst Googling 'cicheti' – in Venice, if going out for a glass of wine, you might refer to this as an ombre (Italian for a shadow). This referred to the idea that the best bars were on the shady side of the street.

最近友人CG和他在深圳某都市設計工作室的同事準備在米蘭的一個建築設計博物館開一個展,主題是北京的Informal Infrastructure。CG 決定要以廢品回收作為展覽的切入點,並向我借一些關於舊磚回收再利用的田野資料。說實在的,我覺得Informality不是一個很好用的概念,也從來不懂什麼什麼是Infrastructure。不過大概是最近論文寫得很煩,也很好奇設計工作者會拼貼出什麼不一樣的視野,所以就答應了。
小弟的論文講的其實就只有兩個概念: Productive Waste 與 Centrality of the Periphery。不過學術界的概念工具作為菁英們證明自身存在價值的春藥總是無可避免的導致一般大眾讀者的昏睡或嘔吐感,所以CG和我決定以看圖說故事的方式溝通。CG 作為一個建築設計與紀錄片工作者必然有他自己的故事想講,所以我也不知道我提供的資料最後會被什麼樣的敘述方式呈現。不過既然圖和文字都有了,我想就放上blog娛樂大家一下。這北京舊磚頭的奇幻旅程我到現在都還是覺得很妙。
p.s. 一堆文法錯誤,沒空改,請見諒。
1. A great portion of the bricks that constitute residences and work unit compounds in today's Beijing was produced during the socialist period (1949-1978) in labor camps. One of the largest labor camps in Beijing was Qinghe (Clear Water) Work Farm, which is shown in this picture. In between 1950 and 1954, the Qinghe Work Farm manufactured 288,694,000 pieces of bricks. By 1956, the Beijing city government, with all the labor camps under its administration, had become the second largest brick provider in the city.
2. Prisoners in labor camps were those labeled as "rightists" or "counter-revolutionary." They were the landlord class or people worked for the Nationalist Government led by Chiang Kai-shek. After the "100 Flower Bloom Campaign" in 1958, many intellectuals in universities in Beijing were sent to labor camps for reeducation. In other words, bricks were produced by the politically marginalized. This picture shows laborers in the Qinghe Work Farm excavating earthwork, which was to be sent to furnace to make bricks.
3. On the contrary, the recycling of bricks (and other types of demolition waste) in the socialist period was carried out by the social mainstream. The Beijing City Wall, the largest single structure ever demolished in Beijing, for instance, was disassembled by personnel from People's Liberation Army, employees of work units, and college students and normal Beijing residents mobilized the the City Government. The picture shows Xizhi Gate, part of the City Wall, under demolition in 1969.
4. This is a poem by Wang Dongcen, a student in the Beijing College of Building Engineering who participated in the demolition of the City Wall in April, 1960. He was correct to write that demolished City Wall was "of service to socialism." Salvaged stone bricks and earthworks from the Wall was later put to construct projects such as railway stations, sports arenas, and underground nuclear shelter. Salvaged bricks thus helped to construct places that were economically and politically central to the socialist modern.
5. While before the economic reform salvaged bricks and other building materials contributed to the socialist modernity, in the reform period, salvaged bricks lubricate the process of urban expansion. They are used by relocation households in urban villages to expand housing properties. Such a practice, known as "tuji jianfang" (突擊建房) allows relocation households to negotiate better compensation deals with the municipal government. In other words, bricks produced by prisoners in labor camps now become bargaining chips of urban villagers. Many buildings of tuji jianfang have no other useful function other than marking the boundaries of relocation households' newly created properties. This extra floor built on top of an existing house, for example, was constructed without a stair. Therefore there is no access to that new floor.
6. Most tuji jianfang projects are complete in a rush. This is because relocation households have to finish their project before the government come to evaluate the size of their housing properties. The owner of this wall structure, for example, started the project with tiles, which were the first available to her. The old bricks, which she got later, were put on top of the tiles. The result was a reverse image of a normal residence house: Bricks on top of tiles.
7. But there are exceptions. When urban villagers learn about village relocation through rumors, a situation where they won't be certain about the timing of the relocation project, old bricks are put to construct rental properties. Rental properties allow them to collect rent, and therefore ensure a return of investment in cases when a relocation project does not proceed or is delayed. In this picture, villagers of Dongsanqi used salvaged bricks to build a multi-story structure. The first floor was rented out to small migrant businesses, while the remaining floors were rental apartments. The building was painted in dark red and yellow, a color scheme that resembled emperors' residence in the Forbidden City. It meant to tell the municipal government who was the boss of the village.
8. Tuji jianfang projects profoundly shapes the business of building demolition. Because old bricks are constantly in high demand, demolition companies compete to win over projects that involved the demolition of brick-made buildings. Relocation companies become the beneficiary, as they can make a profit by selling the right to demolish buildings to demolition companies. This cartoon shows a demolition company bribing a relocation company for a demolition project.
9. In addition, in order to avoid damages to materials, demolition companies heavily rely on manual labor for the demolition of brick-made buildings. Demolition companies are in fact one of the major employers of the city's rural migrants.
10. Demolition companies do not directly hire workers. Instead, they subcontract projects to "second bosses" (二老闆), who are the person assemble the workforce. Such a system of labor subcontracting allow demolition companies overcome the problem of unproductive labor, where the size of demolition projects vary in size. Second bosses and demolition workers are all rural migrants, who, due to the household registration system, do not have access to many of the social welfare benefit that urban residents have, such as health insurance and education for kids. In other words, in the reform era, bricks are recycled by the socially, politically, and economically marginalized group.

Mom Has Perfect Response To A Man Who Asked Her To Cover Up While Breastfeeding
Moms who are able to breastfeed face all kinds of backlash in public.
Despite laws in many places protecting women who breastfeed, people can be downright rude and sometimes even try to kick these moms out or make them sit in a closet or bathroom. It happens so often, and it's always wrong.
Some moms, however, are deciding that they've had enough and they're fighting back -- with words, of course. One mom recently had a comeback so great that I'm sure others will be using it for years to come.
Avery Lane is a new mom living on a military base with her husband. She was at an H & R Block on the base when the manager saw her breastfeeding her two-month-old son. The manager said she should cover up.
Not one to take such a request laying down, Lane says she was shocked and said, "No but I have a muslin if you would like to cover your face. You must not know Georgia's breastfeeding laws." You go girl!
Amazingly, the manager didn't love her answer as much as I did. He asked her to leave. That's when this momma invoked her rights and had the military police tell the manager that the law was on her side. Check out the full story in her words.
(via Scarymommy)
I wish I could come up with comebacks that amazing on the spot. This mom proves that sometimes you have to stick up for what's right. Share this with the amazing mothers you know!

If you hear this, you can rest assured that the person you're speaking with is a member of one of the two large MLM companies. They'll recite this line to you because it's what they've learned in their onboarding training. These same people tend to leave out a critical piece of information when reciting information about essential oils though – the word "undiluted."
Naturally, you should never ingest undiluted essential oils, as they are quite literally the most concentrated form of plant extract available, and you could seriously harm yourself.
This same philosophy applies to nearly every liquid substance, and it is common sense.
Let's take lemonade as an example – Every lemon you squeeze yields apx 60mL of lemon juice, and 5-10X the amount of water is required in order to make it palatable. You can use less, but your summer party may be filled with sour face and end early.
The truth is that you're already using literally thousands of products that include essential oils (properly diluted of course) as a primary ingredient. Here's a short list of things that you have probably consumed at some point:
- Gum – MANY brands of chewing gum use plant extracts (essential oils) as their primary flavoring source. Some of course, use synthetics, but when you're chewing cinnamon gum, odds are that you're consuming cinnamon bark or cinnamon leaf essential oil.
- Carbonated beverages – Not only are natural beverage makers using essential oils for flavoring, but so are their predecessors – soft drink companies. Essential oils from plants are used in a huge variety of flavoring scenarios across the beverage industry. Ginger essential oil is a main ingredient in the original formula for Coca-Cola.
- Sauces and marinades – Yep, that mandarin-sage marinade you're putting on your chicken probably uses essential oils as a primary or secondary flavoring and / or scent.
- Dried fruit – When fruit is dehydrated, some companies will use the natural plant extract in order to "reflavor" it.
- Mouthwash – That minty fresh feeling typically comes from a combination of peppermint and tea tree.
- Lip Balm – Nearly every lip balm available on the market utilizes at least one essential oil as a primary ingredient.
The list goes on from there. So, next time someone tells you that you can't ingest essential oils, you can tell them that you've been doing it your whole life, and so have they.
