What Is ROPO And Why Is It So Important To Your Ecommerce Business?
Research online, purchase offline (ROPO) has been called the true pinnacle of multichannel commerce. But is it an opportunity or a threat to your ecommerce business?
Below I've dived deep into this crucial topic and explained not only why it's so important to your online store, but how you can incorporate it into your business.
Research online, purchase offline is a recent trend in your customers' buying behavior and it's one that you probably do yourself when online shopping.
Going in store to get the full retail experience.
Why are your customers using ROPO?
Some business owners have assumed that customer service or professional advice are behind the rise of ROPO.
One thing that you must take into account when positioning your ecommerce business to take advantage of ROPO, is that your customers don't just do their online research at their desk, they also use their mobile devices.
ROPO and the rise of multicommerce shopping habits means that localization is extremely important to your ecommerce business – through their mobile devices, your customers have constant access to the internet and any goods or services they want.
This means that if you want your company to offer the service your customers require, you must be visible wherever you are.
Local SEO – When your customers need goods and services that can produce a local SERP, you can't miss the opportunity to feature in the results. This means that you need to have your Google maps listing sorted and have your business registered with the local chambers of commerce.
Your customers can find a version of your product(s) from a million different providers. This means that your ecommerce business doesn't only need to answer the question of what they want, but why it should be you that they buy it from. How do you do that? By making your customers experience your products in a way that makes an emotional connection.
One of the reasons for the importance of experiential marketing is the prevalence of pop up ads – your customers don't like them and find them an impersonal turnoff. This means that in order for your ecommerce business to make a personal connection with your customers, you need to market experiences, not products.
In addition to thinking about why your customers should be convinced to buy from your ecommerce business, you also have to know and manage the various stages at which they might buy from you. In order to do this you have to get your multichannel funnel right.
Your customers engage with your company at various stages, points, angles, and timings as part of their buying journey. If you want to be the brand that they choose, you need to be there at every step of the journey.
ROPO and the development of multichannel selling means that your customers go on a complex buying journey. If you want your business to succeed you want to make it as simple as possible for them to find your products at the end of their journey.
It's not only a smart move for your business to incorporate a multichannel approach, it's essential if you want to give your customers the service they want. Multichannel store builders enable ecommerce businesses to sell in store, in person, and online. Incorporating this multichannel approach into your offering means you can ensure your company can give your customers what they want, when they want it, and how they want it.
Take advantage of all the latest technology and sell your products on as many channels as possible — don't just focus on your website. Think about how crafts fairs, Instagram, Pinterest, Etsy — all these different sales channels — can help you diversify and grow your business. Don't be afraid of getting out there. As Nike would say — just do it!
ROPO means a lot of things to your ecommerce company. However, the most important thing is that you must have a multichannel approach to the way that you do business. If you don't, then you make it more difficult for your customers to do business with you… and easier for them to buy from your competitors.

Top SEO News, 2018
Google will keep in secret the number of search quality algorithms
Oct 08/2017
How many search quality algorithms does Google use? This question was put to the John Mueller, the company's employee during the last video conference with webmasters.
The question was:
"When you mention Google's quality algorithm, how many algorithms do you use?"
Mueller responded the following:
"Usually we do not talk about how many algorithms we use. We publicly state that we have 200 factors when it comes to scanning, indexing and ranking.
Generally, the number of algorithms is a casual number. For instance, one algorithm can be used to display a letter on the search results page. Therefore, we believe that counting the exact number of algorithms that Google uses is not something that is really useful [for optimizers].
From this point of view, I can't tell you how many algorithms are involved in Google search."
Gary Illyes shares his point of view on how important referential audit is
At the Brighton SEO event that took place last week, Google rep called Gary Illyes shared his opinion about the importance of auditing the website's link profile. This information was reported by Jennifer Slagg in the TheSEMPost blog.
Since Google Penguin was modified into real-time update and started ignoring spam links instead of imposing sanctions on websites, this has led to a decrease of the value of auditing external links.
According to Gary Illyes, auditing of links is not necessary for all websites at the present moment.
"I talked to a lot of SEO specialists from big enterprises about their business and their answers differed. These companies have different opinions on the reason why they reject links.
I don't think that helding too many audits makes sense, because, as you noted, we successfully ignore the links, and if we see that the links are of an organic nature, it is highly unlikely that we will apply manual sanctions to a website.
In case your links are ignored by the "Penguin", there is nothing to worry about.
I've got my own website, which receives about 100,000 visits a week. I have it for 4 years already and I do not have a file named Disavow. I do not even know who is referring to me.
Thus, in the case when before a website owner was engaged in buying links or using other prohibited methods of link building, then conducting an audit of the reference profile and rejecting unnatural links is necessary in order to avoid future manual sanctions. It is important to remember that rejecting links can lead to a decrease in resource positions in the global search results, since many webmasters often reject links that actually help the website, rather than doing any harm to it.
Therefore, referential audits are needed if there were any violations in the history of the resource. They are not necessary for many website owners and it is better to spend this time on improving the website itself, says Slagg.
Googlebot still refuses to scan HTTP/2
During the last video conference with webmasters Google rep called John Mueller said that Googlebot still refrains to scan HTTP.
The reason is that the crawler already scans the content that fast, so the benefits that the browser receives (web pages loading time is decreased) are not that important.
"No, at the moment we do not scan HTTP / 2. We are still investigating what we can do about it. In general, the difficult part is that Googlebot is not a browser, so it does not get the same speed effects that are observed within a browser when implementing HTTP / 2. We can cache data and make requests in a different way than a regular browser. Therefore, we do not see the full benefits of scanning HTTP / 2.
But with more websites implementing push notification feature, Googlebot developers are on the point of adding support for HTTP in future."
It should be recalled that in April 2016, John Mueller said that the use of the HTTP / 2 protocol on the website does not directly affect the ranking in Google, but it improves the experience of users due to faster loading speed of the pages. Therefore, if you have a change, it is recommended to move to this protocol.
Google does not check all spam reports in manual mode
Google employee named John Mueller stated that the search team does not check all spam reports manually during the last video conference with webmasters.
The question to Mueller was the following:
"Some time ago we sent a report on a spam, but still have not seen any changes. Do you check each and every report manually?"
The answer was:
No, we do not check all spam reports manually. "
Later Mueller added:
"We are trying to determine which reports about spam have the greatest impact, it is on them that we focus our attention and it is their anti-spam team that checks manually, processes and, if necessary, applies manual sanctions. Most of the other reports that come to us is just information that we collect and can use to improve our algorithms in the future. At the same time, he noted that small reports about violations of one page scale are less prioritized for Google. But when this information can be applied to a number of pages, these reports become more valuable and are prior to be checked.
As for the report processing time, it takes some considerable time. As Mueller explained, taking measures may take "some time", but not a day or two.
It should be recalled that in 2016, Google received about 35 thousand messages about spam from users every month. About 65% of all the reports led to manual sanctions.
Google does not consider a sticky footer as a violation of the rules
Aug 04/2017
In most cases Google does not penalize or lower websites for using a sticky footer. Thus, there is no need to worry about possible problems due to the use of this technique. This information was stated by the Google search representative Gary Illyes on Twitter.
At the same time, Illyes advises to avoid obsession, so as not to cause irritation among users when sticking the footer.
Nah, I would not worry about that, but do not try to make them as less obtrusive as possible. You really do not want to annoy your users.
- Gary "鯨 理" Illyes (@methode) July 28, 2017
It should be recalled that in April the search rep, John Mueller, said that Google does not punish websites for posting end-to-end text and links into the footer of the page. The content of this block is not regarded by the search engine as the main page on the website.
Earlier this month it became known that the location of internal links on the page does not affect their weight.
Google tests a new format for price extension in Product Listing Ads
Merkle agency specialists noticed that Google is testing a new format for price expansion in product listings.
Testers put the product price, which is shown at a discount, and the crossed-out original price on the right side. As a result, users immediately see that the product participates in the promotion. Testing is carried out in the mobile and desktop Google versions.
As noted in Merkle, this format of displaying information about the discount allows you to save space in the ad and show other extensions (free delivery, product rating). In addition, it helps to increase CTR ads and highlight company offers among competitors' ads.
Testing is conducted on a limited scale. Google representative said to the Merkle Company that they are constantly testing various formats to give users the most useful information.
Google Image Search loses market share to Amazon and Facebook
The share of Google in the search market grew from 58.84% in October last year to 64.8% in March 2017. At the same time, the share of Google Image Search fell to 21.8% in favor of Amazon and Facebook. This information has come from analysts of the American company Jumpshot in partnership with co-founder Moz Rand Fishkin.
During the research, they analyzed search data in Google Search, Images, Maps, YouTube, Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, Facebook, Reddit and Wikipedia for the period from October 2016 to May 2017 with a sole purpose to determine the resources that accounted for the largest number of search engines Sessions and traffic.
Generally, at this period Amazon's share went up from 0.4% to 2.30%, and Facebook's 0.8% to 1.5%. Bing and Yahoo both showed growth of up to 2.4%, while Google Maps was ranked up to 1.2%. The activity of Google Search, Bing, Amazon and Facebook showed growth, while Google Images, YouTube, Yahoo and Google Maps lost their positions.
The report also included data on search volumes and CTR in the US. The number of search sessions in Google has exceeded 30 billion a month (as of October 2016). By May 2017, the growth trend remained at the level of 10-15% compared to the previous year.
The results of the organic search in 2016 went down to the bottom. In December they were ranked at 54% (despite the fact that in January and February of the same year their level was at 57% and 56%, respectively, and taking into account the traditional activity stop after the winter holidays).
November 2016 gave the highest rates of search activity without clicks and was ranked at 45.5%. At the same time, the lowest indicator was in October, which is only 40.3%.
According to Jumpshot, the largest traffic is generated by Google: about 63% in May 2017, with about 60% in October 2016. During this period, YouTube also showed better results and went up by 0.2%, while Amazon rose by 0.1%. Traffic from Facebook, Yahoo, Reddit, Imgur and Bing almost died, and that's only Wikipedia that remained at the same level.
Cyber attack that took place on May 12 affected 200,000 users from 150 countries
July 11/2017
The victims of the mass cyberattack that occurred on May 12 were 200 thousand users from 150 countries. This information was stated by the press-secretary of the European police department (Europol) Jen Ohn Jen Hurt.
According to him, there are many affected companies, including large corporations. He also noted that the cyber attack may continue on May 15, when people come to work and turn on their computers.
The virus, called WannaCry blocks access to files and requires affected users to pay $ 300 ransom in bitcoins. Unless the price is paid in three days, hackers threaten to double this amount, and after 7 they remove all files from the computer.
The first reports of cyber attacks appeared in the media and social networks on Friday, May 12. According to Europol, the malware was launched from the National Health Service of England. Then it affected networks in other countries. The virus infected computer networks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Megafon and other organizations in Russia.
Proofpoint specialist Darien Hass and author of the MalwareTech blog managed to stop the spread of the virus using code to access a meaningless domain on May 13. However, the WannaCry creators released a new version of the virus, which no longer refers to this domain name.
It is noted in Europol that the motivation of hackers is not fully understood. Typically, this type of attack is revenue-oriented. However, in this case, the amount of the repurchase is small. According to the ministry, only a few companies and individuals agreed to pay $ 300 to attackers, following the recommendations of law enforcement agencies. According to The Guardian, the accounts of the creators of the extortion virus received $ 42,000 from approximately 100 people.
The intruders have not been revealed yet.
Google uses ccTLD for geotargeting and Search Console settings
John Mueller, Google spokesman described the way the search engine targets search results for users living in different regions of the globe.
According to Mueller, geographic targeting uses factors such as ccTLDs or Search Console settings.
For geotargeting we use mostly the ccTLD or search console setting, so place the server.
— John ☆.o(≧▽≦)o.☆ (@JohnMu) July 7, 2017
Earlier Google analyzed the server location determining the region where the website should be ranked best. Apparently, now this factor is not counted.
AdWords launches a new keyword-level bidding interface
Google AdWords users all around the world noticed that is a new keyword-level bidding interface is launching soon.
Google will show recommended bids for different ad positions on the page, even if the bid simulator for this keyword is not available.
Some phases were also changed a little bit. Instead of the "top of the page" is now replaced by "over all organic results"; instead of "first position" the tab "over all other ads" will be now used.
There was no official launch announcement yet.
Let us remind you that Google AdWords changed algorithm of work of the Optimizer of the price for conversion last week. Earlier this tool could raise the maximum bid for prospective clicks by no more than 30%. Now this restriction is lifted.

The Grace Museum Exhibition - Women's Fashion Evolution: 1900s-1920s
The Grace Museum
102 Cypress St., Abilene
325-673-4587, Lori Thornton
Open to visitors Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
$6 Adults; $3-seniors, students and educators with ID, non-active duty military; Free-Children ages 3 and younger, museum members, active duty military and families with ID
From the Gibson Girl to the Flapper, women's fashion evolution from the early 1900s to the 1920s in the United States was due to new economic and social factors for women. These three decades were a defining time as many women fought for the right to vote, joined the work force during World War I, and changed the traditional social norms for women from the previous century.
The Grace Museum Exhibition - Early Photographic Portraits from the Permanent Collection
Capturing a likeness goes back to the earliest of times, however, with the invention of cameras in the 1800s, portraits became more popular and easily attainable. Cartes-de-visite and Cabinet Cards were albumen prints mounted on small cards, typically portraits of the subject. The Cartes-de-visite, invented in France, were smaller cards made between the 1860s and 1870s. A larger portrait, called the Cabinet Card, was popular up until the late 1900s. Professional photographers typically took photographs in their studios and made several copies of the cards for the individual to give to friends and family. Tintypes, popular from the 1850s until the 1890s, were sometimes a cheaper option than earlier daguerreotypes for those part of the working classes.
The photographs in this exhibition are from the permanent collection of The Grace Museum. Although most of the individuals in the photographs (besides those of the royal family) are anonymous, their clothing, their pose, their gaze, all are signs of the Victorian Era they lived in.
The Grace Museum Exhibition - David H. Gibson: The McManaway Studio Project
Photographer David H. Gibson met David McManaway in 1964. A long friendship followed and in 1993 Gibson began documenting McManaway's extraordinary studio. A visit to McManaway's studio was akin to stepping into one of McManaway's works of art; walls, ceilings and table tops covered with carefully selected cultural castoffs silently awaiting a second chance as fine art. Gibson's photographs of the studio, dismantled after McManaway's death in 2010, are as close as we can get to walking into McManaway's unique, (Mojo) Jomo themed amusement park.
The Grace Museum Exhibition - Et Al: Found Object Features from the Permanent Collection
The fine art of found objects defied the status quo to become a major art movement in the last decades of the 20th century. Inspired by Picasso and Braque's 1912 experiments with paper and print and Marcel Duchamp's "readymades", Dada and Surrealism made anything and everything a medium for serious art making. Appropriation of images from popular culture took the form in realistic paintings of objects, collage work and printmaking. Subsequently, the appropriation of found objects into two and three-dimensional mixed media assemblage work became the bedrock of 21st century, interactive, art installations. This exhibition presents a selection of art work based on appropriated found objects in a variety of media selected from The Grace Museum permanent collection by Kirk Hayes, Robert Rauschenberg, Vernon Fisher, Linda Ridgway, Martin Delabano, William Farr, and Clint Hamilton.
The Grace Museum Exhibition - Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence
The story of women's suffrage is a story of voting rights, of inclusion in and exclusion from the franchise, and of our civic development as a nation. Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence, a poster exhibition from the Smithsonian, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment and explores the complexity of the women's suffrage movement and the relevance of this history to Americans' lives today.

102 Cedar St., Abilene

Born in Hollywood, California, in 1986, he grew up in a small one-bedroom apartment with his brother, two cousins, aunt, and grandmother. Drawing became a way to make space for himself in a world crowded with loving others. 'Picture books especially are many children's first introduction to the world. Seeing yourself is almost like a message, it's saying: you matter, you are visible, and you're valuable.' – Christian Robinson
The Grace Museum Exhibition - Creating a Community: The State Epileptic Colony in Abilene
This exhibition will highlight the early history of the State Epileptic Colony in Abilene through over 50 photographs from The Grace's permanent history collection. In 1904, the institution was founded to help individuals with epilepsy through research, care, isolation, and offering a place to work and live. The complex consisted of an administration building, a power plant, a women's and men's hospital, four cottages, and a home for the superintendent. The hospital was a state of the art facility and housed 200 patients by the fall of 1904. By the 1920s, the state of Texas expressed the desire to include individuals with mental health disabilities and renamed the colony the Abilene State Hospital and added a recreation building, x-ray laboratories, twin dormitories, and a warehouse. The named changed to Abilene State School in the 1950s and later the Abilene State Supported Living Center. The current living center is dedicated to treatment, rehabilitation, independence, and helping individuals feel safe and healthy.

The Grace Museum Exhibition - Margo Sawyer: Blue
In 2018, The Grace Museum was privileged to acquire Margo Sawyer's acclaimed 1998 sculptural installation BLUE through an unprecedented collaboration with The Contemporary Austin and the Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas Austin. For this exhibition Sawyer installs BLUE in response to The Grace Museum's unique historical galleries and creates REFLECT featuring new work as an ongoing conversation with the past and present. The site-specific installation BLUE was originally created during Sawyer's 1998 Austin Museum of Art residency program at Laguna Gloria. BLUE has been described as a miniature city, an Oriental carpet, an ocean and a garden just out of reach with thousands of hand crafted elements arranged to reference Sawyer's world travels to exotic places like the Indian city of Jodhpur, where blue doors, windows and steps follow the Brahmin tradition. Upon closer inspection, universal visions of blue skies and bodies of water are interrupted with earth elements, objects and reflective surfaces that tease the eye and broaden focus to include the beauty and transcendence of abundance, diversity and individuality of the complex world we inhabit.

Domènech i Montaner, a polyhedric architect
Lluís Domènech i Montaner was an architect able to raise a hotel of the size of a half a soccer field in 83 days. Author of the Palau de la Música and the San Pau Hospital in Barcelona, two buildings declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Domènech i Montaner was a big enthusiast of technical innovations and a pioneer in scientific photography, he used as a tool to bring nature to architecture, and to reassess the forgotten Romanesque art. But he was not only an architect obsessed by light but also a theoretician, urbanist, historian, archaeologist, humanist, lecturer, founder of political parties and newspapers, graphic designer, illustrator, editor and an agglutinative factor of cultural and political initiatives. The documentary includes, among others, testimonies of his great-grandson, Luis Domènech I Birbau, Enric Granell, professor in History of Architecture at Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Mireia Freiza, professor in History of Art at Universidad de Barcelona or Oriol Bohigas, architect and ex-president of the Ateneo of Barcelona.

The Garrick
It is one of the oldest members' clubs in the world and since its inception has catered to members such as Charles Kean, Henry Irving, Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Arthur Sullivan, Laurence Olivier, Raymond Raikes, Stephen Fry and John Gielgud. From the literary world came writers such as Charles Dickens, H. G. Wells, J. M. Barrie, A. A. Milne, and Kingsley Amis. The visual arts have been represented by painters such as John Everett Millais, Lord Leighton and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
In 1956 the rights to A. A. Milne's Pooh books were left to four beneficiaries: his family, the Royal Literary Fund, Westminster School and the Garrick Club.
The club operates a men-only membership policy. Several past attempts to open the club to women members have failed to attain the necessary two-thirds majority. The most recent poll, in mid-2015, garnered a 50.5% majority.

Q: How to use Azure SQL database when internet is down? Let's say I have a C# WPF application connected with Azure SQL database, everything works fine and my queries work well. The only issue is when sometimes the internet is down, it cannot connect with the database and shows an error at the connection string (which is pretty obvious). Is there any way I can alter my connection string to connect with the database offline, at least be able to view the data, given when the internet is back, the updates are sent to the Azure portal as well (preferably automatic but manual will work). Through some research, I was able to get something as Sync my database with others option in the Azure portal. I was wondering if that's what I am looking for or is there any other alternative that you may suggest?
Thanks.

A: You can take advantage of Azure SQL Data Sync to sync even a local SQL Server Express database with your Azure SQL Database. Your Azure SQL Database will be configured as a "hub" database and the local SQL Server instance as "member database". You can configure automatic sync on/off and who wins (the hub or the member database) in case of conflicts). You need to configure the sync bi-directional so you can connect to Azure when Internet is available manipulate data and connect locally when there is no Internet connection. Once the Internet connection is restored the can be synced as you have configured it, manually or automatically. You will have to install an Agent on the local computer where SQL Server resides. For information about how to configure SQL Data Sync please visit this tutorial.
Take in consideration tables in your database should have a clustered index to be able to use SQL Data Sync.

I haven't felt like this for years. Do you remember the first time you heard The Postal Service? Well, maybe that wasn't all that important to you at the time. Or maybe Give Up isn't even important to you right now. For me, it brought out the kid in me when I heard it. Naive and sweet enough to evoke childish joy but ultimately about more challenging, teenage pursuits. It's odd to feel nostalgic about an album that you're new to. And that's how Moondagger plays.
The album is written around epic fantasy-esque dreams about evil Kings and kingdoms, and a mythical Moondagger. Randolph Chabot, the 22-year-old musician behind Deastro, has a vivid imagination. It really shows in his music too. It's hard to pin the music to any particular genre and that just adds to the idea of it all being a dream. There's a hazy production that isn't quite lo-fi; there's a great atmospheric element in the music. It's ethereal sounding and all I can think is that this is really what "Dream Pop" should be!
It's all bleeps and bloops and twinkling guitars presented in the form of blissful electronic indie pop. Gorgeous synth sounds are plentiful too. I struggle to see anything genuinely mediocre or boring or even just "not so awesome" with any of the tracks on Moondagger. It's a lovely, inoffensive, welcoming change to the oceans of upsetting, brokenhearted music circulating right now.

Urias nearing return to Padres lineup
by Andy Morgan / Jul 14, 2019
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) - Most people expected Luis Urias to begin the 2019 season where he left off in 2018: in San Diego with the Padres. Instead, after struggling in spring training, Urias landed back in Triple-A El Paso in a stunning move by the front office.
Urias was recalled by the Padres early in the season, only to be sent back down after just 24 at-bats with San Diego. The Padres' No. 2 prospect collected just two hits (.083 average) in that span.

Accelerex Holdings Raises $20mln Expansion Fund
The Nigerian-based private equity firm African Capital Alliance (ACA), which focuses its operations in sub-Saharan Africa, has invested $20 million in Accelerex Holdings, a firm that finances and supports African fintech companies.
The transaction was made through ACA's fourth investment fund- CAPE IV. It is a $570 million fund focused on West Africa and interested in many sectors such as health, energy, infrastructure, and agribusiness. With this investment, Capital Alliance Private Equity IV ...will become a strategic partner in Accelerex and will hold three seats on the company's board," Accelerex said.
The funds will be used to support Accelerex's expansion in Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa over the next 24 months. Accelerex Holdings, the parent company of Nigerian electronic payment solutions provider Global Accelerex Limited, intends to develop new products.
To strengthen its banking agent business, Accelerex acquired a majority stake in SLS Microfinance Bank. Its subsidiary Accelerex Network Limited, dedicated to the provision of financial services, has successfully attracted 9,000 agents in the last twelve months and expects to reach 40,000 agents by the end of 2021.
Paul Kokoricha, Partner at ACA, says ...Accelerex's strong business model and its agile and dynamic management team makes it the ideal African Fintech group to back. We are thrilled about this alliance and are happy to bring our experience to the board."

We apologize for the lack of updates, these are really stressful times and honestly finding a computer, let alone the time to gather thoughts is a challenging thing at this moment. Over the last 48hrs a lot has transpired.
I got discharged from the hospital on Saturday morning and was some what relieved to get back to a normal house setting and maybe recoup better there, no offense against the hospital but lets be real...its not a hotel (the constant in/out of nurses, meds, vital checks, and just not being in your own bed is never easy). The core of the issue is, I can't relax without my family. I did attempt to take it a bit easy the rest of the day on Saturday and then come back to see Amber and Dylan on Sunday. I found myself not being able to really eat, relax, or manage my overall pain all that well. Even with the great support from other family, its just not the same...and I missed my family terribly.
On Sunday (Yesterday), I headed to the hospital early to spend the day with Amber and D-man, it has been darn near a week since I had seen them for more than 5 mins, which in short was beyond unbearable to say the least. We planned for what was to come, had executed it well but it became way more than I honestly thought it would be. I never went into this with any preconceived notions that it would go one way or the other, I just knew we would do what we could to get through this time and make sure Dylan could have the best outcome.
I arrived here early yesterday (around 10am), hung out and was enjoying us being a family again, it was really nice to be together. Within the hour of being here, we got Dylan's lab results; the results showed that his AST, ALT, and a few select other liver functions had raised (as opposed to dropping, which is what is suppose to happen). This alarmed the transplant staff, whom was very honest about everything and kept us informed of there concerns. There could be many reasons as to why this was happening and they wanted to rule out a major one, which was that the Hepatic Artery was still flowing (during the first 7 days they worry about this artery clotting off and losing blood supply), so they called in the ultrasound tech to locate the artery. The tech spent in upwards of 45 mins trying to find his arteries, I say arteries b/c when they transplanted my liver into Dylan, my liver had 2 of them (which apparently is EXTREMELY rare), Dylan's surgeon even mentioned this and said that he was possibly going to not hook it up but said there would be no harm in doing so (extra blood supply couldn't hurt that's for sure). After all this time of looking and no success, the situation was getting very scary, we could see it on the tech's face (whom had been able to find it every other time he looked for it) and the transplant teams worries became more of an immediate plan of action. We were told that Dylan would need to have a CT Scan to locate these arteries and see if they're still working, they would inject dye into his central line and take a scan to see if it has flow. If it didnt have flow Dylan would be re-listed as status 1A = #1 on the national transplant waiting list and would be next inline for an immediate transplant.....again. This was a thought that no words can explain and I have none to explain it now.
We were whisked off to CT, both Amber and I would be in the room holding Dylan's hands to keep him still and feeling safe. We had a direct line view to the observation booth where they perform/review the scans. We feel so blessed that my transplant surgeon was the on call liver doc for the week, as well as one of Dylan's other surgeons that was in his surgery, so familiar faces were present. I couldn't help but look at these folks and there expressions to gauge what was going on while they were reading the images. I could visibly see that things weren't looking good. As you can imagine we held hope for the best, we were prepped for the worst, and the entire situation was so surreal, so unbelievable, and so scary to think that our son could go into immediate liver failure and face this whole process all over again. I had such feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, and that the one gift I could give (myself/liver) and even that wasn't good enough. The surgeons came out and said that the left artery (the extra one my liver had) had clotted and died off and the right one was inconclusive on the scan from there view; that they needed to call the head radiologist and get him to review higher resolution images and that they would let us know within the hour.
We made our way back to the room and sat, we cried, we went insane, we were lost. We all at this point I feel lost most of our hope for the "best" outcome, as it seemed evident that a major turning point was about to happen. As we waited, we consoled one another, we grieved in our own ways, and some of us made mends with loved ones...this was a really hard time; it was like minutes were hours.
We received a call from Dr. Kim (she is amazing by the way), she said that the radiologist was confident that there was still flow in the right artery; that we are not out of the woods just yet, we need to be cautious but was optimistic and they're going to watch Dylan very closely. We were told that morning labs would be a good indicator if things are going bad, stabilizing, or getting better. So we took a breather and decided it was good news that we just heard, and we would hold our thoughts until today.
We got Dylan's labs today and as much as we prayed and hoped for them to be better, they were not. They had gotten a tad worse on some, a decent amount on others, and some unchanged, as well as a few better but the one's we needed better didn't get better. We became very concerned but decided not to freak out until we saw Dylan's transplant surgeon, Dr. Esquivel. Around 2:30pm today Dr. Esquivel came in and gave us a very concise run down of what was going on. He told us that he is concerned for Dylan's situation but is optimistic. Also that he is not willing to treat it with more drugs, the side effect(s) could make things worse. He feels Dylan should be given the chance to do well on his own and allow his body to do what it needs to do and that tomorrow labs if they come down will be a good indication that things are back on track and in the right direction, if they rise again that he will have another conversation with us and start discussing rejection a bit more (as the 2nd week is the week you worry most about rejection). Dylan's Prograf levels are on the higher range of the scale. He is going to taper him back even more than the typical threshold for patients and hope that it makes an effect on this and his labs.
I must say, when this man speaks, I don't even know how to explain how it makes us feel, he has such an amazing way about himself. Aside from the fact this man has saved my son's life and countless others; when in his presence you feel a sense of relief and that whatever he says one knows its the truth that is backed up by intelligence, integrity, experience, and mostly compassion. This man is one that I will never be able to put into words properly of how I feel around him. Honestly he may be God, as odd as that sounds, this man has the touch of an angel and one that only God could have purposely put on this earth. He is a remarkable man.
Tomorrow is another big day for us, please continue to keep our son and family in your prayers, I know the tremendous amount of support and words being sent above are helping us through this most difficult time of our lives.
I am sure this worry it eating you up Noah, thanks for keeping us all in the loop with what must be extremely hard for you to put down from your thought's to these updates. Just know (and I know you already know) you have 100's if not 1,000's of people pulling for your family so keep your and Amber's chins up and let's all pray tomorrow is a better day than today!
I don't know your family personally but I have been not only following your story daily through your journal, but also talking to God a lot, begging him to grant the wish your family so desperatley deserves- Dylan's full recovery. Through my tears of this last journal entry, I pray even harder that little Dylan stays strong and embraces your liver as his own...please stay positive Amber and Noah.
We have not met in person but our children have a few things in common. Our daughter is a 1st grader at Olive School. She underwent a liver transplant 1 year ago, a living donor from her "Big Sis".
Our daughter wishes the best of recovery to Dylan and hopes to see him at school next year.
Noah, no matter how things look, God always takes care of us and will take care of you and your son. Keep the faith and believe that God will take care of all of you. I read your blog and pray for you all every day.
We are so sorry you are going through this. We will continue to pray, and support ya'll in any way we can.
My thoughts are with your family. Thank you for keeping us all posted.
Noah, our family and friends have been pummeling me for updates on your family. You have alot of people praying for you guys. This has to be one of the most intense experiences I've ever heard. I hope its a slight reasurance during all of this how many people are rooting for your little man. Take care sir.
Again, I do not know any of you, but I came across your story through the Weebly website. Still, I am so touched by it, and my family has been praying for your family every night. We will continue to do so.
I understand that helpless feeling you have with Dylan, but not on the same level. My duaghter broke her arm pretty bad when she was three, and having to watch the drugs take effect in her and having the nurses wheel her away was one of the hardest moments in my life, and I have been to war. She was fine and it all turned out great.
I read your journal entries, like it is just a story. Sometimes I get lost in realizing you are going through this situation as I write this. I sincerely hope the journaling you guys are doing somehow is a bit therapeutic for you. I know it would be for me.
I tell my wife all of the time, live in the present. Enjoy the present. You never know how much of it you will have. Living in the past and the future does not always help or make the present better. I am so glad you two decided to live in the present with Dylan, and I'm sure it will only make him feel better too. You can only deal with each issue and each decision when it arrives.
I will continue to pray your family is soon free of these issues and these decisions and that Dylan will soon be on his way headed to a great recovery, and soon to school.
I truly believe in positive thinking, and it is wrapped in my faith. I will forever know they are connected. Live in the present with your son. Think positively. Your faith will guide you.
You guys are not alone, and I don't mean just family. I too, am waiting for the next results with you, and I will hope and pray they are good.
P.S. What a fantastic gesture on the part of the winner of the tool chest! Noah, there are angels all around!
sending prayers and best wishes to your family!
you are all in our prayers and we wish you all the best. Please know that you have many people praying for Dylan and that we are all with you in spirit.
My sister in law told me about your story, as she is friends with Nicole A. My son also had BA, and received his liver at 10 months old. He ended up with a clot in his hepatic artery, that was not found due to his liver numbers continuing to improve. I definitely understand what you are going thru. My son still has that liver with the clot. His body somehow came up with its own way to get blood to his liver. He is 4 1/2 now. We will eventually be looking at a retransplant someday, but he has been great so far. Stay stong, stay hopeful and positive, you will make it through this, and your son will continue to amaze you. My family will be keeping yours in our prayers.
Hi Amber..We are keeping up with all your updates thank you for keeping everyone in the loop..
I think about your family everyday and remember Dylan as the angel he is with those big brown eyes and curly hair.
Forever in our thoughts, prayers and heart!!
Sending your family love and prayers..
praying for you and your family. I got chills reading this. I cannot wait to hear an update.
My son (Noah) also has BA. I have been in contact with Amber. I know things will turn out great for Dylan. I'm not sure how or why I know, I just have a strong gut feeling. I have met Dr Esquivel as well and you describe him PERFECTLY! It's almost like nothing seems to chaotic, or crazy. He makes everything seem so adressable. The fact that you were released is great news. I will pray that numbers only improve for Dylan, and that by this summer he is out splashing around in the beach!
wish the best to your family!
We obviously don't know each other but in many ways i feel connected to your life. In one way i had a cousin with Dylan's condition and saw first hand what your family is going through at this moment in time. With the support of positive thinking from family and friends there is nothing that can not be overcome, and i believe that Dylan will fight and beat this and be able to enjoy a normal fun and energetic childhood.
Also im a subie owner and here on the forums (iwsti,nasioc,buffalscooby) there and hundreds if not thousands of young men and women thinking of Dylan and you and your wife, all hoping and praying for the best possible outcome. And it shows how in a way Noah we are all part of a great and supportive subaru family that will be behind you 100%.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family!
My thoughts go out to you and your family. Never give up. Dream like you will live forever, live each day like it is the last.

Remember f rom AQA we also have the excellent, GCSE Mathsematics: 90 maths problem solving questions. These problems have been designed for use in supporting the teaching and learning of mathematics. There is a helpful intruductory section for teachers and note also the helpful Classification Tables by Strategy and by Content Area. Em, @EJmaths has a brilliant PowerPoint with all the questions and answers – see it here.
Staying with problem solving, on TES Resources cchristian's Multi-Stage Problem Solving is an excellent resource. These problems could make great starter activities.
Also, remember the GCSE Problem Solving Questions of the Day – Compilation from The White Rose Maths Hub Team, @WRMathsHub available on TES Resources.
The booklet contains over 50 problem solving questions suitable for KS3 and GCSE classes, answers are also provided. Also from the team, their mastery schemes of learning now includes Year 7 material (UK age 11-12); an assessment is also available.
From author Captain Loui a TES resource, BIDMAS – Solve a Scooby Doo Mystery! Note that answers are provided in the author's description of the resource. The theme is engaging but doesn't get in the way of doing plenty of Mathematics! Captain Loui's resources are all free to use and as you can see have very favourable reviews.
A resource that caught my eye recently is Steve Wyborney's Splat! Definitely a resource I wnt to explore further; you can read Steve's blog post and download the lessons here.
Thursday 2nd March is World Book Day; we could bring books and Mathematics together with some Statistics (at any time); have a look at this resource from TES, World Book Day Maths Data Investigation where students analyse word length and sentence length in some book extracts. UK readers who remember Statistics coursework, this brings back memories of AQA's coursework task 'Read All About It' where students considered various newspapers and magazines for readability. Note too the launch of a new website, MathsThroughStories.org is an international research-based initiative which sets out to explore various aspects of integrating stories reading and writing in mathematics instruction.
The extension task for the TES resource above considers the reading age of a text, you may wish to consider further readability formulae; if you paste some text to this site, Readability Formulas you can easily check statistics for your chosen text and generate a reading age according to the various tests.
WolframAlpha can be used for Words and Linguistics, note the various examples given, including number names.and document length.
Alternatively, try Analyze My Writing. Simply paste in some text for a comprehensive analysis including basic statistics, word and sentence length and readability. It is also possible to create Cloze tests. You can read more about this resource on Richard Byrne's always impressive "Free Technology for Teachers".
It seems appropriate to check some world records on books!
On the subject of books see the free books information and note in particular Colin Foster's Instant Maths Ideas – lots of ideas you can try in the classroom.

We Love Music: Slayer w/ Megadeth @ 1st Mariner Arena
I know every self-respecting heavy metal fan is looking at the title of this article and wondering "where the f*ck is Anthrax?". It is true that Anthrax opened the show in Baltimore on Wednesday night but I did not get to see much of their set. Try the last part of their last song only. Thank you Baltimore for forcing a show to start the minute the doors opened to get the small army of metal fans in and out of the Inner Harbor as quickly as possible. Seriously, my buddies and I made good time on our drive from DC to Baltimore, only to be shocked that Anthrax were saying their "Thank you, good night" the minute we took to the arena floor. It was 7:36 and Anthrax had already played their full set. FAIL.
Anthrax rant aside, the rest of the Jagermeister Fall Music Tour aka American Carnage II otherwise known as Clash Of The Titans Tour Redux was a head-banging, air guitar dueling, kick ass, good time. Megadeth performed their classic album "Rust in Peace" and then some with arena-metal showmanship that, frankly, I forgot still existed. Slayer then took the stage to perform their second masterpiece "Seasons in the Abyss" along with a sampler of their greatest hits and delivered a mammoth set of skin-peeling intensity. The show was a fun mix of somewhat silly 80's Metal nostalgia followed by a virtuoso performance by the best Metal band in the business.
Megadeth takes me back to my childhood. Images of their rivet-faced mascot Vic Rattlehead haunted me as a boy long before I ever heard their music. The older brother of my childhood best friend was a text-book Heavy Metal fiend in the 80's and the bedroom they shared was plastered from floor to ceiling with Megadeth and Iron Maiden posters. Some of my first excursions away from home were sleepovers at this friend's house, and each night I would try to fall asleep under Vic Rattlehead's creepy metal stare. Fast forward a few years, we are a little older, and tooling around in the backseat of my friend's brother's Firebird with "Peace Sells…Who's Buying" blaring in our ears as the brother drives us to the Mall at terrifying speeds. Ah good times.
Once I grew old enough to have an opinion about music, I realized that Megadeth were pretty lame. I dismissed most of their catalog as lesser Metal, even though so many older Metal fans worshiped them. Years later, I still think that they are kind of lame; I mean Mustaine's voice is almost unbearable; but I have come to appreciate some of their playing, especially on "Rust in Peace". That said, I probably would never go to a headlining Megadeth concert. So I considered their addition to this Slayer show as something of a nostalgia trip bonus with the possible upside of being converted to their cause by a strong performance.
I'm happy to say that I was very impressed by the mighty Megadeth on Wednesday night. Dave Mustaine still has a terrible singing voice (he is sort of a constipated cross between Bob Dylan and Robert Plant) and there was plenty of cheesy Metal showmanship detracting from the musical purity of the set; but when they got right down to it and unleashed those long instrumental stretches (contained in just about every song) they really won me over. At first I found myself sort of shocked by how much I was enjoying their set and then I made the decision to just roll with it.
Megadeth tore through "Rust In Peace" and then returned to the stage for two extended encores. I'll admit that during the first encore my mind began to wander a bit. I had prepped myself with "Rust In Peace" and this encore intended for the life-long fan extended the show a bit beyond my interest. Although it was entertaining to hear "Symphony of Destruction" live.* Megadeth's second crowd-pleasing encore however was an entirely different beast. They took to the stage totally reinvigorated and blasted through three or four more songs. It was almost as if different bands had performed the first and second encore. I loved their set closing run of songs and now I am trying to find the set list so I can track those few songs down. Maybe my friend's older brother was onto something after all.
As much fun as I had watching Megadeth and as good as they were, I still felt their set had the distinct aroma of cheese about it. Heavy Metal should be a lot more hard-hitting, brutal, and serious in my humble opinion. The band that essentially defines the best of classic Heavy Metal for me is Slayer. After catching Slayer on a last minute whim almost 10 years ago, I was so impressed that I vowed to never pass up a chance to see them ever again.** Slayer are the beast.
It is generally accepted that Slayer's album "Reign in Blood" is one of the best Metal albums of all time. It is Slayer's first masterpiece and arguably their best record. "Seasons In The Abyss" is their second great record and easily my personal favorite. The prospect of seeing Slayer again is enough to get me giddy. When I heard that Slayer were going to perform "Seasons In The Abyss" in concert, I started looking around for the Devil offering it in trade for my soul. Are you freaking kidding me!? Slayer performing "Seasons in the Abyss"…you could not keep me from this concert with an army of arch-angels.
So how was the show? Ridiculous. Any fan of heavy guitar music must see Slayer at least once before they die. That massive wall of amplifiers physically dwarfing Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman must be seen at least once. Their even larger finger-breaking guitar solos must be heard in person at least once. They way that they trade-off their low-on-the-neck solos is incredible. Tom Araya's sick butterfly bass lines and guttural scream vocals must be felt at least once. Araya was a mischievous demon of a front man, smiling wryly as he bantered with the crowd. During their songs, Araya stared the crowd down with evil, unflinching eyes; a welcome side effect of recent back surgery that prevents him from head-banging.*** And of course, Dave Lombardo's super-human drumming must be witnessed to be believed. Lombardo is one of the greatest drummers on earth; watching and hearing him perform on the drums would impress any music fan regardless of their genre tastes.
Slayer opened their set with two of their newer songs that have recaptured the classic-era Slayer sound after years of luke-warm albums. This nod to their latest album "World Painted Blood" was obligatory but opened the show strong and warmed the band up for the herculean task ahead of them. Araya asked the crowd if they were ready before the band launched into the brutal onslaught of "Seasons in the Abyss".
It was truly jaw-dropping to watch this record realized live on stage. I don't really understand how human hands, fingers, and feet can fly as fast as King's, Hanneman's, Araya's, and Lombardo's did on Wednesday night. How they can play so insanely fast while maintaining accuracy is a mystery to me. King and Hanneman's fingers working the frets of their guitars was a Ripley's Believe It Or Not! display of prestidigitation. If I close my eyes, I can still see the blur of Araya's hand strumming his bass like a hummingbird. Lombardo was impossible to miss, as his double bass kick drums punched you in the gut like a heavy-weight boxer.
Hearing "Seasons in the Abyss" live was such a unbelievable thrill, such a towering moment for me as a music fan, that it was almost overkill for Slayer to perform an encore. Almost. After a very brief breather, the band launched into a four song closing run that has got to be one of the most intense runs of live songs of all time: "South of Heaven", "Raining Blood", Aggressive Perfector", and "Angel of Death". During these four songs the audience entered into a mass trance; the folks up front went absolutely bat-shit insane while the rest of the floor-crowd rocked back and forth in their own personal space. Everyone wore intense scowls that read "Abandon hope all ye who enter here".
* There's an MTV classic that I never imagined I would see in concert.
** As long as Dave Lombardo is drummer.
*** I actually think Araya not head-banging made his performance all the more sinister and creepy.

以色列人在当灭的物上犯了罪,因为犹大支派中,谢拉的曾孙、撒底的孙子、迦米的儿子亚干取了当灭的物,耶和华的怒气就向以色列人发作。 But the Israelites acted unfaithfully in regard to the devoted things; Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of them. So the LORD'S anger burned against Israel.
当下,约书亚从耶利哥打发人往伯特利东边靠近伯亚文的艾城去,吩咐他们说:"你们上去窥探那地。"他们就上去窥探艾城。 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, "Go up and spy out the region." So the men went up and spied out Ai.
他们回到约书亚那里,对他说:"众民不必都上去,只要二三千人上去,就能攻取艾城;不必劳累众民都去,因为那里的人少。" When they returned to Joshua, they said, "Not all the people will have to go up against Ai. Send two or three thousand men to take it and do not weary all the people, for only a few men are there."
艾城的人击杀了他们三十六人,从城门前追赶他们,直到示巴琳,在下坡杀败他们。众民的心就消化如水。 who killed about thirty-six of them. They chased the Israelites from the city gate as far as the stone quarries and struck them down on the slopes. At this the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
约书亚便撕裂衣服,他和以色列的长老把灰撒在头上,在耶和华的约柜前,俯伏在地,直到晚上。 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown to the ground before the ark of the LORD, remaining there till evening. The elders of Israel did the same, and sprinkled dust on their heads.
约书亚说:"哀哉!主耶和华啊,你为什么竟领这百姓过约旦河,将我们交在亚摩利人的手中,使我们灭亡呢?我们不如住在约旦河那边倒好。 And Joshua said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD, why did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us? If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!
主啊,以色列人既在仇敌面前转背逃跑,我还有什么可说的呢? O Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies?
迦南人和这地一切的居民听见了,就必围困我们,将我们的名从地上除灭。那时你为你的大名要怎样行呢?" The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. What then will you do for your own great name?"
耶和华吩咐约书亚说:"起来!你为何这样俯伏在地呢? The LORD said to Joshua, "Stand up! What are you doing down on your face?
以色列人犯了罪,违背了我所吩咐他们的约,取了当灭的物,又偷窃,又行诡诈,又把那当灭的放在他们的家具里。 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions.
因此,以色列人在仇敌面前站立不住。他们在仇敌面前转背逃跑,是因成了被咒诅的,你们若不把当灭的物从你们中间除掉,我就不再与你们同在了。 That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.
你起来,叫百姓自洁,对他们说:'你们要自洁,预备明天,因为耶和华以色列的 神这样说:以色列啊,你们中间有当灭的物。你们若不除掉,在仇敌面前必站立不住。' "Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, 'Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow; for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: That which is devoted is among you, O Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove it.
到了早晨,你们要按着支派近前来;耶和华所取的支派,要按着宗族近前来;耶和华所取的宗族,要按着家室近前来;耶和华所取的家室,要按着人丁,一个一个地近前来。 "'In the morning, present yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe that the LORD takes shall come forward clan by clan; the clan that the LORD takes shall come forward family by family; and the family that the LORD takes shall come forward man by man.
被取的人,有当灭的物在他那里,他和他所有的必被火焚烧,因他违背了耶和华的约,又因他在以色列中行了愚妄的事。" He who is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire, along with all that belongs to him. He has violated the covenant of the LORD and has done a disgraceful thing in Israel!'"
于是约书亚清早起来,使以色列人按着支派近前来,取出来的是犹大支派; Early the next morning Joshua had Israel come forward by tribes, and Judah was taken.
使犹大支派(原文作"宗族")近前来,就取了谢拉的宗族;使谢拉的宗族,按着家室人丁,一个一个地近前来,取出来的是撒底; The clans of Judah came forward, and he took the Zerahites. He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward by families, and Zimri was taken.
使撒底的家室,按着人丁,一个一个地近前来,就取出犹大支派的人谢拉的曾孙、撒底的孙子、迦米的儿子亚干。 Joshua had his family come forward man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
约书亚对亚干说:"我儿,我劝你将荣耀归给耶和华以色列的 神,在他面前认罪,将你所作的事告诉我,不要向我隐瞒。" Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and give him the praise. Tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me."
我在所夺的财物中,看见一件美好的示拿衣服、二百舍客勒银子、一条金子重五十舍客勒,我就贪爱这些物件,便拿去了。现今藏在我帐棚内的地里,银子在衣服底下。" When I saw in the plunder a beautiful robe from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath."
约书亚就打发人跑到亚干的帐棚里。那件衣服果然藏在他帐棚内,银子在底下。 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.
他们就从帐棚里取出来,拿到约书亚和以色列众人那里,放在耶和华面前。 They took the things from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites and spread them out before the LORD.
约书亚和以色列众人把谢拉的曾孙亚干和那银子、那件衣服、那条金子,并亚干的儿女、牛、驴、羊、帐棚,以及他所有的,都带到亚割谷去。 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold wedge, his sons and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor.
约书亚说:"你为什么连累我们呢?今日耶和华必叫你受连累。"于是以色列众人用石头打死他,将石头扔在其上,又用火焚烧他所有的("他们所有的"原文作"他们")。 Joshua said, "Why have you brought this trouble on us? The LORD will bring trouble on you today." Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them.
众人在亚干身上堆成一大堆石头,直存到今日。于是耶和华转意,不发他的烈怒。因此那地方名叫亚割谷,直到今日("亚割"就是"连累"的意思)。 Over Achan they heaped up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day. Then the LORD turned from his fierce anger. Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor ever since.
