我对王说:"愿王万岁!我列祖坟墓所在的那城荒凉,城门被火焚烧,我岂能面无愁容吗?" but I said to the king, "May the king live forever! Why should my face not look sad when the city where my fathers are buried lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?"
我对王说:"仆人若在王眼前蒙恩,王若喜欢,求王差遣我往犹大,到我列祖坟墓所在的那城去,我好重新建造。" and I answered the king, "If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my fathers are buried so that I can rebuild it."
那时,王后坐在王的旁边。王问我说:"你去要多少日子?几时回来?"我就定了日期。于是王喜欢差遣我去。 Then the king, with the queen sitting beside him, asked me, "How long will your journey take, and when will you get back?" It pleased the king to send me; so I set a time.
我又对王说:"王若喜欢,求王赐我诏书,通知大河西的省长准我经过,直到犹大; I also said to him, "If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah?
又赐诏书,通知管理王园林的亚萨,使他给我木料,作属殿营楼之门的横梁和城墙,与我自己房屋使用的。"王就允准我,因我 神施恩的手帮助我。 And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king's forest, so he will give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple and for the city wall and for the residence I will occupy?" And because the gracious hand of my God was upon me, the king granted my requests.
王派了军长和马兵护送我。我到了河西的省长那里,将王的诏书交给他们。 So I went to the governors of Trans-Euphrates and gave them the king's letters. The king had also sent army officers and cavalry with me.
和伦人参巴拉,并为奴的亚扪人多比雅,听见有人来为以色列人求好处,就甚恼怒。 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about this, they were very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.
我夜间起来,有几个人也一同起来,但 神使我心里要为耶路撒冷作什么事,我并没有告诉人。除了我骑的牲口以外,也没有别的牲口在我那里。 I set out during the night with a few men. I had not told anyone what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. There were no mounts with me except the one I was riding on.
当夜我出了谷门,往野狗井去("野狗"或作"龙"),到了粪厂门,察看耶路撒冷的城墙,见城墙拆毁,城门被火焚烧。 By night I went out through the Valley Gate toward the Jackal Well and the Dung Gate, examining the walls of Jerusalem, which had been broken down, and its gates, which had been destroyed by fire.
于是夜间沿溪而上,察看城墙。又转身进入谷门,就回来了。 so I went up the valley by night, examining the wall. Finally, I turned back and reentered through the Valley Gate.
我往哪里去,我作什么事,官长都不知道。我还没有告诉犹大平民、祭司、贵胄、官长和其余作工的人。 The officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, because as yet I had said nothing to the Jews or the priests or nobles or officials or any others who would be doing the work.
以后,我对他们说:"我们所遭的难,耶路撒冷怎样荒凉,城门被火焚烧,你们都看见了。来吧,我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙,免得再受凌辱。" Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace."
我告诉他们我 神施恩的手怎样帮助我,并王对我所说的话。他们就说:"我们起来建造吧!"于是他们奋勇作这善工。 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me. They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work.
但和伦人参巴拉,并为奴的亚扪人多比雅和阿拉伯人基善听见就嗤笑我们,藐视我们,说:"你们作什么呢?要背叛王吗?" But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us. "What is this you are doing?" they asked. "Are you rebelling against the king?"
我回答他们说:"天上的 神必使我们亨通。我们作他仆人的,要起来建造;你们却在耶路撒冷无份、无权、无记念。" I answered them by saying, "The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it."
那时,大祭司以利亚实和他的弟兄众祭司起来建立羊门,分别为圣,安立门扇,又筑城墙到哈米亚楼,直到哈楠业楼,分别为圣。 Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt the Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set its doors in place, building as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and as far as the Tower of Hananel.

银匠与商人在城的角楼和羊门中间修造。 and between the room above the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and merchants made repairs.
对他弟兄和撒玛利亚的军兵说:"这些软弱的犹大人作什么呢?要保护自己吗?要献祭吗?要一日成功吗?要从土堆里拿出火烧的石头再立墙吗?" and in the presence of his associates and the army of Samaria, he said, "What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble--burned as they are?"
亚扪人多比雅站在旁边,说:"他们所修造的石墙,就是狐狸上去也必跐倒。" Tobiah the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, "What they are building--if even a fox climbed up on it, he would break down their wall of stones!"
我们的 神啊,求你垂听,因为我们被藐视。求你使他们的毁谤归于他们的头上,使他们在掳到之地作为掠物。 Hear us, O our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity.
不要遮掩他们的罪孽,不要使他们的罪恶从你面前涂抹,因为他们在修造的人眼前惹动你的怒气。 Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.
这样,我们修造城墙,城墙就都连络,高至一半,因为百姓专心作工。 So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.
参巴拉、多比雅、阿拉伯人、亚扪人、亚实突人听见修造耶路撒冷城墙,着手进行,堵塞破裂的地方,就甚发怒。 But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the men of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem's walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry.
大家同谋要来攻击耶路撒冷,使城内扰乱, They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it.
然而我们祷告我们的 神,又因他们的缘故,就派人看守,昼夜防备。 But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.
犹大人说:"灰土尚多,扛抬的人力气已经衰败,所以我们不能建造城墙。" Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall."
我们的敌人且说:"趁他们不知、不见,我们进入他们中间杀他们,使工作止住。" Also our enemies said, "Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work."
那靠近敌人居住的犹大人,十次从各处来见我们说:"你们必要回到我们那里。" Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."
所以我使百姓各按宗族拿刀、拿枪、拿弓站在城墙后边低洼的空处。 Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.
我察看了,就起来对贵胄、官长和其余的人说:"不要怕他们,当记念主是大而可畏的。你们要为弟兄、儿女、妻子、家产争战。" After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes."
仇敌听见我们知道他们的心意,见 神也破坏他们的计谋,就不来了。我们都回到城墙那里,各作各的工。 When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his own work.
修造的人都腰间佩刀修造,吹角的人在我旁边。 and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me.
我对贵胄、官长和其余的人说:"这工程浩大,我们在城墙上相离甚远, Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall.
你们听见角声在哪里,就聚集到我们那里去。我们的 神必为我们争战。" Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!"
于是我们作工,一半拿兵器,从天亮直到星宿出现的时候。 So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out.
那时,我又对百姓说:"各人和他的仆人当在耶路撒冷住宿,好在夜间保守我们,白昼作工。" At that time I also said to the people, "Have every man and his helper stay inside Jerusalem at night, so they can serve us as guards by night and workmen by day."
这样,我和弟兄、仆人,并跟从我的护兵都不脱衣服,出去打水也带兵器。 Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water.
百姓和他们的妻大大呼号,埋怨他们的弟兄犹大人。 Now the men and their wives raised a great outcry against their Jewish brothers.
有的说:"我们和儿女人口众多,要去得粮食度命。" Some were saying, "We and our sons and daughters are numerous; in order for us to eat and stay alive, we must get grain."
有的说:"我们典了田地、葡萄园、房屋,要得粮食充饥。" Others were saying, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our homes to get grain during the famine."
有的说:"我们已经指着田地、葡萄园,借了钱给王纳税。 Still others were saying, "We have had to borrow money to pay the king's tax on our fields and vineyards.
我们的身体与我们弟兄的身体一样;我们的儿女与他们的儿女一般。现在我们将要使儿女作人的仆婢,我们的女儿已有为婢的。我们并无力拯救,因为我们的田地、葡萄园已经归了别人。" Although we are of the same flesh and blood as our countrymen and though our sons are as good as theirs, yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fields and our vineyards belong to others."
我听见他们呼号,说这些话,便甚发怒。 When I heard their outcry and these charges, I was very angry.
我对他们说:"我们尽力赎回我们弟兄,就是卖与外邦的犹大人;你们还要卖弟兄,使我们赎回来吗?"他们就静默不语,无话可答。 and said: "As far as possible, we have bought back our Jewish brothers who were sold to the Gentiles. Now you are selling your brothers, only for them to be sold back to us!" They kept quiet, because they could find nothing to say.
我又说:"你们所行的不善!你们行事不当敬畏我们的 神吗?不然,难免我们的仇敌外邦人毁谤我们。 So I continued, "What you are doing is not right. Shouldn't you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our Gentile enemies?
我和我的弟兄与仆人也将银钱、粮食借给百姓,我们大家都当免去利息。 I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let the exacting of usury stop!
如今我劝你们将他们的田地、葡萄园、橄榄园、房屋,并向他们所取的银钱、粮食、新酒和油,百分之一的利息都归还他们。" Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the usury you are charging them--the hundredth part of the money, grain, new wine and oil."
众人说:"我们必归还,不再向他们索要,必照你的话行。"我就召了祭司来,叫众人起誓,必照着所应许的而行。 "We will give it back," they said. "And we will not demand anything more from them. We will do as you say." Then I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials take an oath to do what they had promised.
我也抖着胸前的衣襟说:"凡不成就这应许的,愿 神照样抖他离开家产和他劳碌得来的,直到抖空了。"会众都说:"阿们!"又赞美耶和华。百姓就照着所应许的去行。 I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, "In this way may God shake out of his house and possessions every man who does not keep this promise. So may such a man be shaken out and emptied!" At this the whole assembly said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
自从我奉派作犹大地的省长,就是从亚达薛西王二十年直到三十二年,共十二年之久,我与我弟兄都没有吃省长的俸禄。 Moreover, from the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, until his thirty-second year--twelve years--neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor.
在我以前的省长,加重百姓的担子,每日索要粮食和酒,并银子四十舍客勒,就是他们的仆人也辖制百姓;但我因敬畏 神,不这样行。 But the earlier governors--those preceding me--placed a heavy burden on the people and took forty shekels of silver from them in addition to food and wine. Their assistants also lorded it over the people. But out of reverence for God I did not act like that.
并且我恒心修造城墙,并没有置买田地,我的仆人也都聚集在那里作工。 Instead, I devoted myself to the work on this wall. All my men were assembled there for the work; we did not acquire any land.
除了从四围外邦中来的犹大人以外,有犹大平民和官长一百五十人在我席上吃饭。 Furthermore, a hundred and fifty Jews and officials ate at my table, as well as those who came to us from the surrounding nations.
每日预备一只公牛、六只肥羊,又预备些飞禽,每十日一次,多预备各样的酒。虽然如此,我并不要省长的俸禄,因为百姓服役甚重。 Each day one ox, six choice sheep and some poultry were prepared for me, and every ten days an abundant supply of wine of all kinds. In spite of all this, I never demanded the food allotted to the governor, because the demands were heavy on these people.
我的 神啊,求你记念我为这百姓所行的一切事,施恩与我。 Remember me with favor, O my God, for all I have done for these people.
城墙修完,我安了门扇,守门的、歌唱的和利未人都已派定。 After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.
我就派我的弟兄哈拿尼和营楼的宰官哈拿尼雅管理耶路撒冷。因为哈拿尼雅是忠信的,又敬畏 神过于众人。 I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most men do.
我吩咐他们说:"等到太阳上升,才可开耶路撒冷的城门;人尚看守的时候,就要关门上闩。也当派耶路撒冷的居民各按班次,看守自己房屋对面之处。" I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses."
城是广大,其中的民却稀少,房屋还没有建造。 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
祭司中,哈巴雅的子孙、哈哥斯的子孙、巴西莱的子孙,因为他们的先祖娶了基列人巴西莱的女儿为妻,所以起名叫巴西莱。 And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai (a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name).
这三家的人,在族谱之中寻查自己的谱系,却寻不着,因此算为不洁,不准供祭司的职任。 These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
省长对他们说:"不可吃至圣的物,直到有用乌陵和土明决疑的祭司兴起来。" The governor, therefore, ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food until there should be a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim.
此外,还有他们的仆婢七千三百三十七名,又有歌唱的男女二百四十五名。 besides their 7,337 menservants and maidservants; and they also had 245 men and women singers.
骆驼四百三十五只,驴六千七百二十匹。 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
有些族长为工程捐助。省长捐入库中的金子一千达利克,碗五十个,祭司的礼服五百三十件。 Some of the heads of the families contributed to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 drachmas of gold, 50 bowls and 530 garments for priests.
又有族长捐入工程库的金子二万达利克,银子二千二百弥拿。 Some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the work 20,000 drachmas of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
其余百姓所捐的金子二万达利克,银子二千弥拿,祭司的礼服六十七件。 The total given by the rest of the people was 20,000 drachmas of gold, 2,000 minas of silver and 67 garments for priests.
到了七月,以色列人住在自己的城里。那时,他们如同一人聚集在水门前的宽阔处,请文士以斯拉将耶和华藉摩西传给以色列人的律法书带来。 all the people assembled as one man in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel.
七月初一日,祭司以斯拉将律法书带到听了能明白的男女会众面前。 So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand.
在水门前的宽阔处,从清早到晌午,在众男女一切听了能明白的人面前,读这律法书。众民侧耳而听。 He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law.
文士以斯拉站在为这事特备的木台上;玛他提雅、示玛、亚奈雅、乌利亚、希勒家和玛西雅站在他的右边;毗大雅、米沙利、玛基雅、哈顺、哈拔大拿、撒迦利亚和米书兰站在他的左边。 Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform built for the occasion. Beside him on his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah and Maaseiah; and on his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.
以斯拉站在众民以上,在众民眼前展开这书。他一展开,众民就都站起来。 Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up.
以斯拉称颂耶和华至大的 神,众民都举手应声说:"阿们!阿们!"就低头,面伏于地,敬拜耶和华。 Ezra praised the LORD, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, "Amen! Amen!" Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
耶书亚、巴尼、示利比、雅悯、亚谷、沙比太、荷第雅、玛西雅、基利他、亚撒利雅、约撒拔、哈难、毗莱雅和利未人使百姓明白律法,百姓都站在自己的地方。 The Levites--Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah--instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there.
他们清清楚楚地念 神的律法书,讲明意思,使百姓明白所念的。 They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was being read.
省长尼希米和作祭司的文士以斯拉,并教训百姓的利未人,对众民说:"今日是耶和华你们 神的圣日,不要悲哀哭泣。"这是因为众民听见律法书上的话都哭了。 Then Neemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, "This day is sacred to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep." For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.
又对他们说:"你们去吃肥美的,喝甘甜的,有不能预备的,就分给他;因为今日是我们主的圣日。你们不要忧愁,因靠耶和华而得的喜乐是你们的力量。" Neemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."
于是利未人使众民静默,说:"今日是圣日;不要作声,也不要忧愁。" The Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be still, for this is a sacred day. Do not grieve."
众民都去吃喝,也分给人,大大快乐,因为他们明白所教训他们的话。 Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.
次日,众民的族长、祭司和利未人都聚集到文士以斯拉那里,要留心听律法上的话。 On the second day of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests and the Levites, gathered around Ezra the scribe to give attention to the words of the Law.
并要在各城和耶路撒冷宣传报告说:"你们当上山,将橄榄树、野橄榄树、番石榴树、棕树和各样茂密树的枝子取来,照着所写的搭棚。" and that they should proclaim this word and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem: "Go out into the hill country and bring back branches from olive and wild olive trees, and from myrtles, palms and shade trees, to make booths"--as it is written.
于是百姓出去,取了树枝来,各人在自己的房顶上,或院内,或 神殿的院内,或水门的宽阔处,或以法莲门的宽阔处搭棚。 So the people went out and brought back branches and built themselves booths on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God and in the square by the Water Gate and the one by the Gate of Ephraim.
从掳到之地归回的全会众就搭棚,住在棚里。从嫩的儿子约书亚的时候直到这日,以色列人没有这样行。于是众人大大喜乐。 The whole company that had returned from exile built booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated it like this. And their joy was very great.
从头一天直到末一天,以斯拉每日念 神的律法书。众人守节七日,第八日照例有严肃会。 Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. They celebrated the feast for seven days, and on the eighth day, in accordance with the regulation, there was an assembly.
这月二十四日,以色列人聚集禁食,身穿麻衣,头蒙灰尘。 On the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the Israelites gathered together, fasting and wearing sackcloth and having dust on their heads.
以色列人("人"原文作"种类")就与一切外邦人离绝,站着承认自己的罪恶和列祖的罪孽。 Those of Israelite descent had separated themselves from all foreigners. They stood in their places and confessed their sins and the wickedness of their fathers.
那日的四分之一,站在自己的地方,念耶和华他们 神的律法书;又四分之一认罪,敬拜耶和华他们的 神。 They stood where they were and read from the Book of the Law of the LORD their God for a quarter of the day, and spent another quarter in confession and in worshiping the LORD their God.
耶书亚、巴尼、甲篾、示巴尼、布尼、示利比、巴尼、基拿尼站在利未人的台上,大声哀求耶和华他们的 神。 Standing on the stairs were the Levites--Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani and Kenani--who called with loud voices to the LORD their God.
利未人耶书亚、甲篾、巴尼、哈沙尼、示利比、荷第雅、示巴尼、毗他希雅说:"你们要站起来称颂耶和华你们的 神,永世无尽。耶和华啊,你荣耀之名是应当称颂的,超乎一切称颂和赞美。" And the Levites--Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah--said: "Stand up and praise the LORD your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting." "Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.
"你,惟独你,是耶和华。你造了天和天上的天,并天上的万象,地和地上的万物,海和海中所有的,这一切都是你所保存的;天军也都敬拜你。 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
你是耶和华 神,曾拣选亚伯兰,领他出迦勒底的吾珥,给他改名叫亚伯拉罕。 "You are the LORD God, who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham.
你见他在你面前心里诚实,就与他立约,应许把迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、耶布斯人、革迦撒人之地赐给他的后裔,且应验了你的话,因为你是公义的。" You found his heart faithful to you, and you made a covenant with him to give to his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites and Girgashites. You have kept your promise because you are righteous.
"你曾看见我们列祖在埃及所受的困苦,垂听他们在红海边的哀求, "You saw the suffering of our forefathers in Egypt; you heard their cry at the Red Sea.
就施行神迹奇事在法老和他一切臣仆,并他国中的众民身上。你也得了名声,正如今日一样,因为你知道他们向我们列祖行事狂傲。 You sent miraculous signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his officials and all the people of his land, for you knew how arrogantly the Egyptians treated them. You made a name for yourself, which remains to this day.
你又在我们列祖面前把海分开,使他们在海中行走干地,将追赶他们的人抛在深海,如石头抛在大水中。 You divided the sea before them, so that they passed through it on dry ground, but you hurled their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters.
并且白昼用云柱引导他们,黑夜用火柱照亮他们当行的路。 By day you led them with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.
你也降临在西奈山,从天上与他们说话,赐给他们正直的典章、真实的律法、美好的条例与诫命。 "You came down on Mount Sinai; you spoke to them from heaven. You gave them regulations and laws that are just and right, and decrees and commands that are good.
又使他们知道你的安息圣日,并藉你仆人摩西传给他们诫命、条例、律法。 You made known to them your holy Sabbath and gave them commands, decrees and laws through your servant Moses.
从天上赐下粮食充他们的饥,从磐石使水流出解他们的渴,又吩咐他们进去得你起誓应许赐给他们的地。" In their hunger you gave them bread from heaven and in their thirst you brought them water from the rock; you told them to go in and take possession of the land you had sworn with uplifted hand to give them.
"但我们的列祖行事狂傲,硬着颈项不听从你的诫命; "But they, our forefathers, became arrogant and stiff-necked, and did not obey your commands.
他们虽然铸了一只牛犊,彼此说:'这是领你出埃及的 神',因而大大惹动你的怒气; even when they cast for themselves an image of a calf and said, 'This is your god, who brought you up out of Egypt,' or when they committed awful blasphemies.
你还是大施怜悯,在旷野不丢弃他们。白昼,云柱不离开他们,仍引导他们行路;黑夜,火柱也不离开他们,仍照亮他们当行的路。 "Because of your great compassion you did not abandon them in the desert. By day the pillar of cloud did not cease to guide them on their path, nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take.
你也赐下你良善的灵教训他们,未尝不赐吗哪使他们糊口,并赐水解他们的渴。 You gave your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and you gave them water for their thirst.
在旷野四十年,你养育他们,他们就一无所缺,衣服没有穿破,脚也没有肿。 For forty years you sustained them in the desert; they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out nor did their feet become swollen.
并且,你将列国之地照分赐给他们,他们就得了西宏之地、希实本王之地和巴珊王噩之地。 "You gave them kingdoms and nations, allotting to them even the remotest frontiers. They took over the country of Sihon king of Heshbon and the country of Og king of Bashan.
你也使他们的子孙多如天上的星,带他们到你所应许他们列祖进入得为业之地。 You made their sons as numerous as the stars in the sky, and you brought them into the land that you told their fathers to enter and possess.
这样,他们进去得了那地,你在他们面前制伏那地的居民,就是迦南人;将迦南人和其君王,并那地的居民,都交在他们手里,让他们任意而待。 Their sons went in and took possession of the land. You subdued before them the Canaanites, who lived in the land; you handed the Canaanites over to them, along with their kings and the peoples of the land, to deal with them as they pleased.
他们得了坚固的城邑,肥美的地土,充满各样美物的房屋,凿成的水井、葡萄园、橄榄园,并许多果木树。他们就吃而得饱,身体肥胖,因你的大恩,心中快乐。" They captured fortified cities and fertile land; they took possession of houses filled with all kinds of good things, wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees in abundance. They ate to the full and were well-nourished; they reveled in your great goodness.
然而,他们不顺从,竟背叛你,将你的律法丢在背后,杀害那劝他们归向你的众先知,大大惹动你的怒气。 "But they were disobedient and rebelled against you; they put your law behind their backs. They killed your prophets, who had admonished them in order to turn them back to you; they committed awful blasphemies.
所以你将他们交在敌人的手中,磨难他们。他们遭难的时候哀求你,你就从天上垂听,照你的大怜悯赐给他们拯救者,救他们脱离敌人的手。 So you handed them over to their enemies, who oppressed them. But when they were oppressed they cried out to you. From heaven you heard them, and in your great compassion you gave them deliverers, who rescued them from the hand of their enemies.
但他们得平安之后,又在你面前行恶,所以你丢弃他们在仇敌的手中,使仇敌辖制他们;然而他们转回哀求你,你仍从天上垂听,屡次照你的怜悯拯救他们。 "But as soon as they were at rest, they again did what was evil in your sight. Then you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies so that they ruled over them. And when they cried out to you again, you heard from heaven, and in your compassion you delivered them time after time.
又警戒他们,要使他们归服你的律法。他们却行事狂傲,不听从你的诫命,干犯你的典章(人若遵行就必因此活着),扭转肩头,硬着颈项,不肯听从。 "You warned them to return to your law, but they became arrogant and disobeyed your commands. They sinned against your ordinances, by which a man will live if he obeys them. Stubbornly they turned their backs on you, became stiff-necked and refused to listen.
但你多年宽容他们,又用你的灵藉众先知劝戒他们,他们仍不听从,所以你将他们交在列国之民的手中。 For many years you were patient with them. By your Spirit you admonished them through your prophets. Yet they paid no attention, so you handed them over to the neighboring peoples.
然而你大发怜悯,不全然灭绝他们,也不丢弃他们;因为你是有恩典、有怜悯的 神。" But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
"我们的 神啊,你是至大、至能、至可畏、守约施慈爱的 神。我们的君王、首领、祭司、先知、列祖和你的众民,从亚述列王的时候直到今日所遭遇的苦难,现在求你不要以为小。 "Now therefore, O our God, the great, mighty and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love, do not let all this hardship seem trifling in your eyes--the hardship that has come upon us, upon our kings and leaders, upon our priests and prophets, upon our fathers and all your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until today.
在一切临到我们的事上,你却是公义的;因你所行的是诚实,我们所作的是邪恶。 In all that has happened to us, you have been just; you have acted faithfully, while we did wrong.
我们的君王、首领、祭司、列祖都不遵守你的律法,不听从你的诫命和你警戒他们的话。 Our kings, our leaders, our priests and our fathers did not follow your law; they did not pay attention to your commands or the warnings you gave them.
他们在本国里沾你大恩的时候,在你所赐给他们这广大肥美之地上,不侍奉你,也不转离他们的恶行。 Even while they were in their kingdom, enjoying your great goodness to them in the spacious and fertile land you gave them, they did not serve you or turn from their evil ways.
我们现今作了奴仆;至于你所赐给我们列祖享受其上的土产,并美物之地,看哪,我们在这地上作了奴仆! "But see, we are slaves today, slaves in the land you gave our forefathers so they could eat its fruit and the other good things it produces.
这地许多出产归了列王,就是你因我们的罪所派辖制我们的。他们任意辖制我们的身体和牲畜,我们遭了大难。" Because of our sins, its abundant harvest goes to the kings you have placed over us. They rule over our bodies and our cattle as they please. We are in great distress.
因这一切的事,我们立确实的约,写在册上。我们的首领、利未人和祭司都签了名。 "In view of all this, we are making a binding agreement, putting it in writing, and our leaders, our Levites and our priests are affixing their seals to it."
百姓的首领住在耶路撒冷;其余的百姓掣签,每十人中使一人来住在圣城耶路撒冷,那九人住在别的城邑。 Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, and the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of every ten to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, while the remaining nine were to stay in their own towns.

Drs. A.G., Dan, and Brad Kegler
The saying "families that work together, stay together" has proven true for the Kegler family of Independence, Iowa.
Kegler, Kegler & Arend DDS PC has been a staple in the community of Independence for over sixty years. As a University of Iowa Dental School graduate (DDS 1942), Dr. A.G. Kegler could not have realized the impact and legacy he would have on his hometown. His son, Dr. Dan Kegler, went on to also graduate from the UI's Dental School program in 1972 and decided to join his father's practice in 1984. In 2011, Brad Kegler, Dan's youngest son and Gus's grandson, also decided to join the family practice.
Dr. Dan Kegler has been practicing dentistry in Independence for over 35 years, but he has also been very active in his community and his profession for just as long. He is currently serving as the President of the Iowa Dental Association and is also the immediate past president of the Iowa Dental Foundation, the charitable arm of the IDA. He serves in numerous other dental and professional organizations including the University of Iowa Alumni Board.
Dr. Brad Kegler also attended dental school at the University of Iowa and graduated with a DDS degree in 2010. Like his father, Brad is also very involved with his community and within his profession. He is a member of the Iowa Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry.
While Dr. A.G. Kegler passed away in 2000, we think he would agree along with his son and grandson that their UI Dental School education helped them become the knowledgeable and caring professionals that they are today.
And where will you find Dan and Brad on a fall Saturday? Cheering on the Hawkeyes of course! As lifelong Iowa Hawkeye fans, Dr. Dan Kegler proclaims that he "bleeds black and gold!"
These are your Hometown Hawkeyes.

Moralizing the Corporation
Boris Holzer
This insightful book examines how transnational corporations respond to the challenges of anti-corporate activism and political consumerism. In prominent cases involving major corporations such as Nestlé, Nike and Royal Dutch/Shell, transnational activists have successfully mobilized public opinion and consumers against alleged corporate misdemeanours. Campaigns and boycott calls can harm a corporation's image but, as this book points out, public scrutiny also gives corporations the opportunity to present themselves as responsible and accountable corporate citizens who subscribe to the very norms and values propagated by the activists.

Governance in a Disenchanted World
This book expounds the idea of a disenchanted world composed of nation states and global functional systems. The nation state is losing some of its regulatory prerogatives and, at the same time, extending its legitimacy base in 'chains of legitimacy' to transnational institutions. There is neither a global democracy nor a global government. Therefore, establishing alternative forms of legitimacy, accountability and participation in a secular world seem mandatory. Helmut Willke examines the resurgence of moral reasoning in global affairs, pushed by various fundamentalisms, that indicates a real danger of a regression of democracy. The separation of private morals and public policies, the book argues, remains the basis of global aspirations of democracy. Learn More

Public Sector Leadership
Edited by Jeffrey A. Raffel, Peter Leisink, Anthony E. Middlebrooks
The authors of this book define the issues facing public authorities and organizations in a range of developed nations as they address the challenges of the 21st century. They examine an array of ways leaders across these nations are addressing these challenges. The result is a comprehensive analysis of ways to improve leadership in the public sector and of the role of political and administrative leaders in shaping the future of the public sector. The overriding question addressed by this volume is how public leadership across the globe addresses new challenges (e.g., security, financial, demographic), new expectations of leaders (e.g., New Public Management, multi-sector service provision), and what leadership means in the new public sector. Learn More
Edited by Viva Ona Bartkus, James H. Davis
This book showcases new innovative research in economics, politics, sociology, and management regarding the topic. Leading scholars from a variety of disciplines present ground-breaking new research exploring the still-undiscovered value of social capital. The book employs a self-consciously multi-disciplinary approach to address two objectives: reaching out and reaching in. Through theoretical and empirical scholarship, the authors explore the many contexts in which the phenomenon can have impact. In effect, social capital research reaches out to issues of economic well-being, civic participation, educational achievement, knowledge and norm formation, and competitive advantage. Further, the authors investigate the many connections between the core themes of social capital and the pillars on which it rests, including structural networks, cognition, relationships and trust. This book is fundamentally about bridging – bridging across disciplines, units of analysis, and themes. Learn More
Non-market Entrepreneurship
Edited by Gordon E. Shockley, Peter M. Frank, Roger R. Stough

The eminent cast of contributors gives coherence to the academic and public discussions on the topic, builds a theoretical edifice within the field of entrepreneurship and helps to establish and delineate the contours of the research field of non-market entrepreneurship.

The book contains new statistical studies and a set of six international case studies in health and social services. Learn More
Obesity, Business and Public Policy
Edited by Zoltán J. Ács, Alan Lyles
The effects of obesity have become practically ubiquitous in the US. This book aims to provide an alternative framework through which to explore the important and controversial obesity debate that has spilled over from the medical community. This book is not about obesity as a medical condition, nor does it offer a wide-ranging discussion on the health effects of obesity or the role of the 'right' diet. Learn More

Q: Django: Lat / Long FloatFields not Saving So I had a formwizard working perfectly, but then changed 2 things and now am receiving a InternalError database error. First, I specified templates using get_template_names.
forms.py:
TEMPLATES = {'0': 'formtools/wizard/wizard_form.html',
             '1': 'formtools/wizard/wizard_form.html',
             '2': 'formtools/wizard/wizard_map.html'}

class CreateWizard(SessionWizardView):
    get_template_names(self):
        return [TEMPLATES[self.steps.current]]

Secondly, I added FloatFields to the model being saved and in the form itself:
class Thing(models.Model):
    ....
    latitude = models.FloatField()
    longitude = models.FloatField()
    ....

class StepThreeForm(forms.Form):
    ....
    latitude = forms.FloatField()
    longitude = forms.FloatField()
    ....

I'm not sure why I am receiving InternalError: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block. Here is the traceback:

Those are the only two things that I changed, along with adding a template at step 3 of my wizard. I cannot figure out why this would alter the functioning of my wizard. Can you help me figure out why I am now getting this error? Thanks for any ideas on this confusing problem!

EDIT: I updated my schema via south after adding these fields. Additionally, I tried using DecimalField rather than FloatField but still got a db error.

Top Archaeology Stories for June 27, 2012
AN exciting find of an intact Bronze Age burial urn has been made by a team of archaeological experts working on the site of a new link road under construction at Lynn. The team had already unearthed Iron Age timber posts beside the route of the road which will take traffic from the A149 Queen Elizabeth Way to Scania Way on the Hardwick Industrial Estate, where the new Sainsbury's superstore is being built.
Archaeologists from a Belgian university have uncovered a mass burial tomb containing the remains of 80 individuals at the Pachacamac ruins in Peru. The site, situated 20 miles south of Lima, is currently under review for UNESCO World Heritage status, and is one of the largest and most important pre-Hispanic sites in South America. Photo: Alamy
Archaeologists in Greece's second-largest city have uncovered a 70-meter (230-foot) section of an ancient road built by the Romans that was city's main travel artery nearly 2,000 years ago.
Most local residents are familiar with the massacre and burning of the Pequot Indian fort in 1637 by English forces and their Native American allies. What is lesser known is that as the surviving 75 British soldiers and 200 allies retreated toward ships on the Thames River, they had to fight off fierce attacks from 300 Pequots and at one point may have burned a smaller Indian village they came across.
The icon of Rome's foundation, a life-size bronze statue of a she-wolf with two human infants suckling her, is about 1,700 years younger than its city, Rome's officials admitted on Saturday. The official announcement, made at the Capitoline Museums, where the 30 inch-high bronze is the centerpiece of a dedicated room, quashes the belief that the sculpture was adopted by the earliest Romans as a symbol for their city. Photo: Wikipedia
Archaeologists have unearthed the foundation of what appears to have been a massive, ancient structure, possibly a bridge leading to an artificial island, in what is now southeast Wales. The strange ruin, its discoverers say, is unlike anything found before in the United Kingdom and possibly all of Europe.
The remains of John Robert Godley's home have been uncovered after demolition work at the site of the former Lyttelton Plunket building. The home, built in 1850, was one of Lyttelton's earliest dwellings. Godley was a key figure in the settlement of Canterbury.
After the Egyptian revolution, the lack of protection for many archaeological sites throughout the country has caused an increase in the looting and robbery of Egypt's most ancient and treasured artifacts. U.C. Berkeley archaeologist Carol Redmount, who has been excavating and studying ancient sites in Egypt for over 20 years, showed NBC News' Richard Engel the scope of the problem. She works 180 miles south of Cairo in a town called Al-Heba. Her site was completely destroyed by looters in the year and a half since the revolution.
Archaeologist Cho Mi-soon said Wednesday that the agency has found the remains of a farming field from the Neolithic period on South Korea's east coast. The site may be up to 5,600 years old. That's more than 2,000 years older than what is now the second-oldest known site, which also is in South Korea.
Archaeologists excavating an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Cambridgeshire say the discovery of a woman buried with a cow is a "genuinely bizarre" find. The grave was uncovered in Oakington by students from Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Central Lancashire.
Where backhoes and bulldozers now rumble, soldiers once slept, ate, marched — maybe even did a little bowling. The 50-acre military base that gave Fort Myers its name held almost 60 buildings during its mid-1800s lifetime, and about five of those acres will become Lee County's newest library.

If biker clubs such as the Hell's Angels, the Mongols and Bandidos have released manuals on motorcycle etiquette, they have not released them to the public. Still, we may glean, from published work, some do's and don'ts on the subject of wearing a patch, or "colors," for bikers.
The discreet biker may wear his colors outside of his territory, but never within the territory of another club.
Some clubs disallow wearing colors while driving; as described in the book "Befriend and Betray," a negligent Hell's Angel named Gunk flouted this rule. "If he had any brains before being hit, he didn't afterward."
A biker who is drummed out of the club must, of course, surrender his colors. Similarly, a biker who leaves a club, even unannounced, leaves his colors behind, rather than wear them like an old army uniform.
Clubs have individual rules for wearing the colors; frequently, that the colors be worn on a sleeveless vest.
To quote the authors of "Wayward Angels," one club that forcibly disbands another may celebrate as follows: "You first thrash a significant portion of its members, then as a coup de grace rip the colors from their backs. It was like taking scalps."

English Abstract: The text classification methods heavily depend on machine learning algorithms with abstract mathematic metrics, which obstruct the direct observation and intuitive understanding of the text-specific classification. In this paper, we model a document as a Document-Classes-Topics top-down hierarchical structure. Furthermore, by running the document generation procedure, we can obtain each class's content share, which not only can be used to make the classification decision but also can provide a natural visualization approach for text classification. We implement this idea by a new tool named TC-DCA, which provides the visualization of text classification result, where the target document is expressed graphically as its content's allocation on every class. TC-DCA can also perform the drilling down operation to reveal the classification effect of each word of the document.

On "Body Shaming," "Dear Fat People," "Love Your Body," and the Obesity Epidemic
09 Sep 2015 Jonathan
There is a big difference between loving your body "as is" and investing in continually improving it - no matter where you start.
Recently, as many of you have likely noticed, the topic of body shaming has once again hit the limelight, spurred on by a viral video by YouTube vlogger Nicole Arbour entitled "Dear Fat People" (watch at your own risk – it's highly offensive). Now, I'm not going to come out in support of Nicole, because I think the way she went about spreading her message was – as I said – offensive, inhumane, misinformed, and needlessly cruel. But I do think there's something there worth exploring.
Nicole's video comes at a time when a lot of companies and advertisers are encouraging us to "love the skin we're in." And while the cynic in me feels obligated to note that the ad agencies producing some of these ads are the very same ad agencies representing Coca Cola and Nestlé, two of the companies most responsible for making us fat in the first place, as well as Pfizer, who makes billions selling pills to cure the resulting ailments, I still believe that the core message is wonderful. As human beings, we come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, and because of that, we should love the cards we are dealt.
Nicole's video has generated over 2M views, and thousands of responses.
But nobody is simply "dealt" a BMI of 35.
Nobody is born morbidly obese.
Something else is at play here. But we'll get to that.
First, I want to note that even in these ads, such as the one pictured below from Dove, it's clear that each of these women is reasonably healthy, despite different genetic builds. And that is beautiful.
There's a big difference between learning to love ourselves and our bodies completely "as is" and having the love and compassion to invest in our health.
Let me be clear – before your defenses go way up, or you point out that it's very easy for a man to underestimate the incredible pressure put on women and their bodies – and state that it is not my intention to encourage body shaming, bullying, eating disorders, or any other form of insecurity about one's body, male or female. These are all horrible things that I've witnessed first-hand, and nobody should have to endure them.
There's a big difference, however, between departing from the unrealistic standards set by starved and photoshopped lingerie models – which I'm all for – and the notion that we should be fat and happy about it.
There's also a big difference between learning to love ourselves and our bodies completely "as is" without questioning our choices or decisions, and having the love and compassion for ourselves to invest in our health.
Dove's "real beauty" campaign shows that healthy, beautiful bodies come in all different shapes and sizes – but none of them are truly obese.
Perhaps it's just me, but I don't know if the blanket statement "love your body" should apply to someone suffering from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. No, I would argue that as with any form of love, love for your body should come from a deep appreciation, respect, and the investment of time and energy to build the relationship into a healthy and prosperous one. Only once all of this has been fulfilled can you truly love what you've built. Sure, we can't all be athletes or fitness models. Nor should we aspire to be! But we can aspire to be the healthiest, happiest, fittest version of ourselves possible. So while I agree that shaming people about their bodies is dangerous, cruel, and inhumane, I think it's fair to acknowledge the underlying problem: somehow, we as a society have agreed that maladies such as obesity and heart disease are normal and expected. They're not.
As I recently discovered in Robb Wolf's incredible book, The Paleo Solution, the notion that our ancestors were malnourished or suffered brutish, short lives is patently wrong. In fact, any archaeologist or anthropologist will be able to tell you that they were not only healthier, stronger, taller, and fitter than we are, they actually resembled modern day Olympians more than today's general population. And if you refine the statistics to eliminate infant mortality, violent deaths, and the fact that a simple bone break or infection used to resulted death, they lived just as long as we do today – but with fewer health problems.
So, there's that.
Who, then, should we be angry at? The offensive YouTuber who had the guts to declare (albeit in the worse possible way) that "something isn't ok here," or the government(s) and corporations that have kept us fat, misinformed, and miserable for the last 4 decades. As Robb Wolf brilliantly put it, it's pretty hard to make money off healthy people, unless you're selling fitness equipment.
Love for your body should come from a deep appreciation, respect, and the investment of time and energy to build the relationship into a healthy and prosperous one
Many of the critics of the video – and there are a lot – have cited genetic conditions, life-long weight issues, and psychological concerns as reasons why the video is in bad taste. Certainly, these conditions are valid and do apply to many people, who should never be shamed. As I've said – nobody should ever be shamed. But FAR too often, the very people citing genetic conditions or emotional reasoning are still poisoning themselves with a high carbohydrate, grain-based diet full of processed foods and other garbage, and washing it down with soda or sugary "juice," diet or otherwise. And who can blame them? After all, these are the guidelines that have been given to us by everyone from doctors to nutrition experts since the McGovern committee chose to adhere to the Seven Countries Study in the 1970's.
This book will change how you think about diet and nutrition.
The thing is… most of this has since been disproven, and is generally accepted as hogwash by unbiased researchers. And if you're wondering how such a pervasive lie – a lie that has killed tens if not hundreds of millions of people prematurely, has been allowed to continue, I have one word for you: lobbyists.
But this isn't a rant about politics or corporate personhood. So what exactly am I trying to say?
Well, obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes… these things are not normal for any species, much less ours. They're not something we should just be accepting as the facts of life – and they're not something that have been seen as such until very recently. To try to convince someone who is suffering from obesity and health complications to "love their body," isn't, as Ms. Arbour would suggest, "assisted suicide." It's a manipulative attempt to deny that person of that most basic instinct of every living being on this planet: the instinct of self preservation. And for what? To profit from them on both ends of the equation, selling them both junk food and blood pressure medication? Never mind obesity, that phenomenon is what's truly disgusting.
To try to convince someone who is suffering from obesity and health complications to "love their body," is a manipulative attempt to deny that person of that most basic instinct of every living being on this planet: self preservation.
On the other hand, to "shame" that person into "eating less" is an equally cruel and ineffective approach, in that caloric restriction as a dietary choice simply doesn't work. To cite Robb Wolf again (can you tell I'm a fan?), "It's a great racket: Sell you something that does not work and blame you for the failure!"
And if there's a point to this long-winded rant, I think that's it.
We don't need to relax our opinions about what healthy means. What we need to change is our collective notion that unhealthy – whether it be from obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or even anorexia caused by trying to look healthy* on a diet of garbage – is somehow normal or acceptable.
So yes. Love the skin you're in. But please: treat it with the same respect, compassion, and attention that you would any other recipient of love in your life. Anything else would be, well, inhumane.
Over the next three months, in order to address this topic and provide what we feel is constructive and inspiring information for those struggling with obesity (or any other diet-related health concerns), we will be hosting a number of tried-and-true experts on nutrition, paleolithic diets, and healthful cooking. These include Abel James, Robb Wolf, Dr. Loren Cordain, and more.
Please subscribe to our podcast or email newsletter (top of the right column) to be notified when these episodes are released.
* I realize that many sufferers of eating disorders are in fact also suffering from body dysmorphia, and are not trying to look "healthy," however that is another topic for another day.

We recently met with Bruce Andrew, Vice President of Marketing for Shred-it Canada to get his views on Customer and Employee Experience. Bruce is a marketer who sees brand as having company-wide implications, since every aspect of the business serves one and only one purpose – to satisfy a customer. He is an advocate of designing and integrating service experiences into the core of a brand as a means of competitive differentiation and delivering on the promise a brand communicates to its customers.
Bruce Andrew (BA): Customer experience is how the customer "feels" throughout the end to end journey they have with an organization. It isn't that you just got it right during the transaction by making it easy and seamless, it is that every aspect of their interaction goes above and beyond to make them feel special.
BA: Employee experience is the great feeling an employee has beyond just doing a really good job. It is about their sense of fulfilling a "noble cause" beyond their day to day tasks. If we expect employees to be good servants to customers, you better be good servants as an employer in terms of how you create the culture for an employee in which they can live and thrive. Your inside needs to match your outside and the work you do has much greater meaning than simply getting from A to B.
5P: Can you share any evidence that Cx delivering bottom line results?
BA: The best evidence you can point to broadly in the market are the results of those organizations who have an almost legendary reputation for delivering a great customer and employee experience. Look at Four Season's Hotels, look at Amazon, look at WestJet and you can see on virtually any key dimension you care to measure that points to success of implementing both customer experience and employee experience successfully.


One week home and things are starting to feel normal. I stopped taking the pain meds last night and today has been so far so good. Everything seems to be slowly going back to where it should be and mostly I'm just sore. I feel like I worked out really hard, probably just my back and legs compensating for my abs. I pulled my belly support belt back out with the idea that it might give my incision a little support and sure enough it does. Pretty awesome.
The girls have had two well baby check ups and are doing excellent. The first visit was the day after we came home (last Thursday) and they weighed 5lbs6ozs (Cora) and 5lbs2ozs (Cuba). Then we went back again this past Monday and they each gained 4 ounces-perfectly on track. Turns out they were measured wrong in the hospital and are both 18 ¼ inches long and their heads are the exact same size. We don't know for sure if they are identical or fraternal…I'm leaning more towards fraternal. They definitely look like sisters but not identical ones. Its crazy how close in size in they are. We are slowly figuring out their very different personalities. Cora is our dramatic one, she prefers to sleep while being held or lying next to her sister, but never alone. Cuba is pretty easy going. She is happy to sleep alone or with company, and only cries when she's hungry. She pretty hilarious too, she spends a bit more time a wake and makes some pretty funny faces. Both girls love their brothers and vise versa, the boys constantly want to hold them and help take care of them. Whenever Lennox holds or talks to them they smile and smile. There is a lot of love in this house.

Top gamer 'Ninja' made $1 million to promote EA's 'Apex Legends' launch: source
By Arjun Panchadar
BENGALURU (Reuters) - What are a few hours playing videogames and a handful of tweets worth? $1 million if you are Tyler Blevins, known to millions as "Ninja," the world's most-followed computer gamer.
Blevins was one of a few select professionals with huge followings pulled in by videogame giant Electronic Arts Inc to play and promote its latest title, "Apex Legends," in the first hours of the launch last month, generating a buzz that notched 10 million signups in the first three days.
The 27-year-old, famous for his hair color changes - currently a bright, turquoise hue - tweeted about the free-to-play game early on Feb. 5 and streamed the action to his more than 13 million followers on game-streaming site Twitch. For this he was paid around $1 million, a source told Reuters.
The amount underlines the increasingly cut-throat fight for dominance of the free-to-play battle royale genre that, through Epic Games' global smash hit "Fortnite", has pushed major publishers like Electronic Arts to change how they do business.
Representatives for EA and Ninja declined to comment on how much he had been paid, but the amount named by the source is more than twice media reports of Ninja's monthly earnings from streaming his regular appearances on Fortnite and way above what was speculated on a number of internet discussion boards.
EA also paid popular Polish-Canadian streamer "Shroud," who has nearly six million Twitch followers, to play Apex Legends but declined to disclose the terms of the deal.
"They did a fairly comprehensive job at pulling together all of the relevant game influencers in this genre," said Kevin Knocke, a vice president at esports infrastructure firm ReKTGlobal.
"This was a really well coordinated poaching of the top influencers the likes of which has not been seen so far in esports," he said, suggesting that EA had also roped in streamers better-known for playing other blockbusters like "Call of Duty" or "PUBG".
The Ninja deal also points to the growing possibilities for teenagers who grow up hooked in their bedrooms on the industry's big titles, as well as a shift in promotional strategy, with the use of popular gamers replacing expensive TV ad campaigns.
EA's stock price and market value rose 16 percent, or $4 billion, in the three days after Apex Legends launched and a month later the game has 50 million users, a quarter of Fortnite's 200 million.
"We really wanted to create a day where you couldn't escape Apex if you cared about games and we wanted it to feel like an event was happening everywhere around the globe on that day," Drew McCoy, lead producer at the EA studio that created Apex Legends, said in an interview.
"We had streamers from all over Europe, LatAm, North America, Korea, Japan so that we could get our message out there and people would see the game," he said.
Joost van Dreunen, co-founder of Nielsen-owned gaming research firm SuperData, estimated that in 2018 Fortnite raked in $2.4 billion in revenue, more than any other single title.
If each user registered so far bought the most basic Apex Coin package, with which kids and teenagers can buy character skins and other upgrades, EA would take in $500 million. Analysts' estimates hover around that figure in revenue annually.
Ninja, who reportedly plays Fortnite for 12 hours a day from his basement studio outside Chicago, has been one of many to benefit from its massive success.
He has streamed himself playing alongside major celebrities like rappers Drake and Travis Scott, has sponsorship deals with Red Bull and Uber Eats, and often appears on Instagram and Twitter alongside soccer players Neymar Jr and Harry Kane.

What are overwrite and overflow errors, and how can I avoid them in NI-DAQmx?
A commonly seen overwrite error is Error -200279: The application is not able to keep up with the hardware aquisition.
A common error seen with overflow errors is Error -200361: Onboard Device Memory Overflow.
To avoid an overwrite error, you need to increase the buffer size, read faster, or write slower.
In LabVIEW, you may also consider implementing a Producer/Consumer Design Pattern architecture. The Producer/Consumer architecture allows you to read faster by removing analysis and presentation steps to a second loop.
You may also consider using a faster computer, if that is an option. A faster computer may enable you to transfer data between the PC buffer and the Application Development Environment memory at a higher rate.
Decrease the samples per channel rate with the DAQmx Timing function.
Disconnect other devices that may try to share the PCI/PCIe bus.
The error indicates that information is lost and occurs when the application does not read data from the PC buffer quickly enough. Samples that are written to the circular PC buffer are overwritten before they are read into Application Development Environment (ADE) memory.
Overflow errors indicate that the First In First Out (FIFO) memory buffer onboard your data acquisition card has reached its maximum capacity for storing acquired samples and can no longer accept new samples. An overflow error is symptomatic of a bus transfer rate that falls short of the requested data input rate.

Q: Angular2 and Firebase (AngularFire2) I use Angularfire2 to comunicante with Firebase. This is the code.:
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {AngularFire, FirebaseListObservable} from 'angularfire2';

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  templateUrl: `
  <ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item in items | async">
      {{ item.name }}
    </li>
  </ul>
  `,
})
class AppComponent {
  item: Observable<any>;
  constructor(af: AngularFire) {
    this.item = af.database.list('/items');
  }
}

The instruction af.database.list('items') take a few seconds to retrieve the data. So, how can I know when the data is already loaded? If I know that, I can show a "loading bar".

A: Try to subscribe for your items inside component like this:
constructor(af: AngularFire) {
  this.item = af.database.list('/items');
  this.item.subscribe(() => this.showLoader = false);
}

and use some field to bind for loader visibility for sure

A: My bad, setTimeout will not resolve the issue completely. How about using asynchronous approach. I am not sure how to import q api in your code though.
  constructor(af: AngularFire) {
    var def = $q.defer();
    this.item = af.database.list('/items');
    def.resolve(this.item);
  }


Karl Benz was an engineer from Germany who studied Otto's work and wanted to better it. He created a similar but simpler gasoline engine and fitted it to a 3-wheeled carriage to make the world's first gas-fuelled vehicle in 1885. This might not have had any impact, but it soon came to public attention after Karl's wife, Bertha, borrowed the vehicle to take her and her two young sons to visit grandma 65 miles away! They had to buy fuel at chemist stores and occasionally push it up hills, but they made it and news of the journey caught the attention of the media. She advised her husband to add gears to help uphill driving, which he did and by the turn of the century, he was one of the leading car manufacturers in the world!
Daimler and Maybach worked for Otto until falling out with him and setting up on their own. They made the first ever motorbike by creating a giant gasoline engine, shrinking it down and attaching it to a wooden bike. They then turned their attention to making cars. In 1899, Daimler released a model called 'Mercedes' after the daughter of one of their customers. Benz and Daimler were ribals and competitors until the 1920s until they agreed to merge and manufacture cars under the iconic name of 'Mercedes-Benz'.
After spending months confined to a hospital bed following an accident, Diesel decided he could make a better engine than Benz and Daimler. He had the time to create a prototype in the early 1890s and this was the world's first diesel engine. It had almost twice the power of a steam engine and could use almost any fuel at all, even peanut or vegetable oil. Sadly, he never lived to see his inventions come to fruition. Whilst travelling from Germany to England on the SS Dresden in 1913, he fell overboard and drowned. Many believe he was murdered by secret agents to prevent him selling his ideas to the English in the lead up to the Great War.

Q: If $e^{a_n} \to \infty$ then $a_n$ goes to infinity Suppose $\lim_{n \to \infty} e^{ a_n} = \infty$. Then it is clear that $a_n$ better go to infinity.
Do we require that $a_n$ be increasing? I think it is not required since $e^x$ goes to inifnity only when $x \to \infty$. Am I missing something?

A: Let $b_n=e^{a_n}$. Then $a_n= \ln (b_n)$. If $b_n \to \infty$, then $a_n \to \infty$.

A: No, $a_n$ does not need to be increasing.

A: No, you do not need $a_n$ to be increasing. For example, you could have
$$a_n=\begin{cases}n^2 & \text{ if }n\text{ is even}\\
  n & \text{ if } n \text{ is odd}\end{cases}$$
