upholding retroactive application of federal estate tax statute to tax gifts made prior to enactment of the statute
Summary of this case from Commonwealth Edison Co. v. U.S.
CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF CLAIMS.
Argued January 29, 1931. Decided March 2, 1931.
1. A finding by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in assessing an estate tax, that a gift made by the decedent in his lifetime was made in contemplation of death, is controlling when the tax is called in question, if not challenged by any fact appearing of record. P. 19. 2. The Revenue Act of 1918, § 402, applies to gifts in contemplation of death made before its passage. P. 19. 3. The inclusion of gifts made in contemplation of death in a single class with decedents' estates to secure equality of taxation, and prevent evasion of estate taxes, is a permissible classification of an appropriate subject of taxation. P. 20. 4. A tax is not necessarily and certainly arbitrary because retroactively applied, but may be justified and upheld in such application because of the particular circumstances. P. 21. 5. A gift in contemplation of death was made while the 1916 Revenue Act was in force; the donor died after the effective date of the Act of 1918; in assessing his estate for transfer tax the value of the gift at the time of his death was included; and the tax on the whole was levied at the rates of the 1918 Act, which were higher than those of the Act of 1916. Held that the application of the later rates, as respects the gift, was not unreasonable or unconstitutional, in view of the relations of such gifts to transfers by death and the legislative policy of both Acts concerning them, established before the gift was made. P. 20. 6. The application of the higher rate of the 1918 Act to gifts made in contemplation of death while the 1916 Act was in force, does not destroy the character of the tax as one on privileges, and so render it unconstitutional as an unapportioned direct tax. P. 24. 69 Ct. Cls. 231; 38 F.2d 381, affirmed.
CERTIORARI, 282 U.S. 817, to review a judgment denying recovery of a tax.
Mr. D.A. Embury, with whom Mr. Hugo Kohlmann was on the brief, for petitioners.
Section 402(c) of the Revenue Act of 1918 construed in the light of recent decisions does not apply to the transaction here at issue.
If construed to tax a transfer made before the passage of the Act, the section is unconstitutional. Nichols v. Coolidge, 274 U.S. 531.
The retroactive application of § 402(c) cannot be supported as a necessary adjunct to the enforcement of the general provisions of the statute taxing the net estates of decedents.
In any event, the provisions of the Act fixing the measure of the tax on transfers under § 402(c) are so arbitrary and capricious as to violate the Fifth Amendment. The tax thus retroactively applied was imposed at a rate approximately two and one-half times as great as that provided by the 1916 Act in effect at the time the gift was made, and, moreover, was imposed upon the property not at its value at the time of the gift nor at any time when it was in the possession of the decedent, but at its value at the time of his death, over three years after he had parted with all interest therein. The tax is thus imposed upon one entity, the estate of the decedent, in respect of property belonging to an entirely different entity, the donee of the antecedent gift, and on the basis of a value bearing no relation to any value of the property at any time while owned by the decedent.
The retroactive application amounts to an unapportioned direct tax forbidden by §§ 2 and 9 of Art. I of the Constitution.
A tax imposed upon the estate of a decedent, measured by the value of property which he has long since disposed of, is a direct tax and cannot properly be considered an excise upon the transfer of property by death, where the transfer was made prior to the passage of the Act purporting to impose the tax. 37 Harv. L.R. 694, 695; 26 Col. L.R. 852, 858.
The outstanding feature of a direct tax, as distinguished from duties, imposts, and excises, is that of an absolute and unavoidable demand. See Thomas v. United States, 192 U.S. 363, 371; Flint v. Stone Tracy Co., 220 U.S. 107, 151-152; South Carolina v. United States, 39 Ct. Cls. 257, affirmed, 199 U.S. 437. This absolute and unavoidable demand clearly exists when an attempt is made to tax a transfer effected prior to the adoption of the taxing statute. Levy v. Wardell, 258 U.S. 542.
The determination of the nature of the tax must regard the substance of the exaction — its operation and effect as enforced — and cannot depend upon the manner in which the taxing scheme has been characterized. Kansas City Ry. v. Kansas, 240 U.S. 227, 231, and many other cases.
The applicability of the principles in Nichols v. Coolidge, supra, is not affected by the fact that the transfer in the present case was made subsequently to the passage of the 1916 Act.
The saving clause contained in § 1400(b) of the 1918 Act does not operate to impose a tax upon the transaction here in question.
The repeal of the Revenue Acts of 1916 and 1917, coupled with the enactment of the 1918 Act, containing analogous taxing provisions, but at different rates, cannot be so construed as to relieve the later Act from the taint of retroactivity when applied to a transfer completed prior to its adoption.
Assistant Attorney General Rugg, with whom Solicitor General Thacher and Messrs. Claude R. Branch, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, Fred K. Dyar, Bradley B. Gilman, and Erwin N. Griswold were on the brief, for the United States.
The language of the statute leaves no doubt but that Congress intended to tax a transfer in contemplation of death, whether the transfer was made before or after the passage of the Act. The petitioners' argument as to the construction of this section was not raised in the court below and is not open for argument in this Court.
The due process clause of the Fifth Amendment does not invalidate the application of § 402 of the Revenue Act of 1918 in this case. The transfer was in contemplation of death. The tax, if levied upon a transfer made after the date of the enactment of the statute, is constitutional. The tax is upon the testamentary disposition of the decedent's property. A gift in contemplation of death is a part of this disposition.
The fact that the transfer was made before the enactment of the statute does not render it arbitrary. The statute was a continuance of similar provisions in the Revenue Act of 1916 which was in force when the transfer was made. No tax was placed upon an act non-taxable when done. That the transferor could not calculate the exact rate of the tax when he made the gift does not make the tax unconstitutional.
In any case, the property transferred is taxable at the lower rate prescribed by the Revenue Act of 1916. Congress intended the estate tax provisions of the 1916 Act to remain in force in every case until the provisions of the 1918 Act applied to the estate in that case.
MR. JUSTICE STONE delivered the opinion of the Court.
In this case certiorari was granted, 282 U.S. 817, to review a judgment of the Court of Claims denying to petitioners recovery of a tax alleged to have been illegally exacted under the decedents' estates provisions of the Revenue Act of 1918. 38 F.2d 381; Act of February 24, 1919, c. 18, 40 Stat. 1057, 1096, 1097, 1149, 1150.
In December, 1916, while the Revenue Act of that year was in force (Act of Sept. 8, 1916, c. 463, 39 Stat. 756, 777), petitioners' decedent gave to his children certain shares of corporate stock. The donor died March 5, 1920, after the effective date of the 1918 Act. The Commissioner included the shares of stock in the decedent's estate as a gift made in contemplation of death, § 402(c) of the 1918 Act, and assessed and collected the tax now in suit, which was computed on the basis of the value of the stock at the time of decedent's death, and at the rates in the 1918 Act, which were higher than those fixed by the corresponding provisions of the Act of 1916.
Section 401 of the 1918 Act imposed taxes at specified rates upon transfers of estates by decedents. Under § 403, the taxable estate was the "gross estate" less enumerated deductions. Section 402 provided for the inclusion in the gross estate of the value of property "(c) To the extent of any interest therein of which the decedent has at any time made a transfer, or with respect to which he has at any time created a trust, in contemplation of or intended to take effect in possession or enjoyment at or after his death (whether such transfer or trust is made or created before or after the passage of this act) . . ." The Act of 1916, §§ 201, 202(b), which had contained similar provisions for the taxing of decedents' estates, including gifts in contemplation of death, but at lower rates, was repealed, with provisos not now material, by § 1400 of the 1918 Act.
The finding of the Commissioner that the present gift was in contemplation of death is not questioned by petitioners, and is controlling here since it is not challenged by any facts appearing of record. Niles Bement Pond Co. v. United States, 281 U.S. 357, 361; Burnet v. Sanford Brooks Co., 282 U.S. 359. Although antedating the enactment of § 402, the gift is embraced within its provisions, which are in terms applicable to gifts in contemplation of death made before the passage of the Act.
Petitioners' argument that § 402 does not apply is not supported by their citations of Reinecke v. Northern Trust Co., 278 U.S. 339, and May v. Heiner, 281 U.S. 238. In those cases the gifts inter vivos were not "in contemplation of death," and the only relevant question was one of construction, whether some of them were of the class intended by Congress to be taxable under § 402(c) as transfers "intended to take effect in possession or enjoyment at or after death." It was held that they were not. But those gifts were not of the class now involved, gifts in contemplation of death, made before the passage of the Act, which are expressly named by § 402(c) as subject to its provisions.
This Court has not passed directly on the constitutionality of the federal taxation of gifts made in contemplation of death. But taxation of transfers at death has been upheld, Knowlton v. Moore, 178 U.S. 41, as has, more recently, the taxation of gifts inter vivos, Bromley v. McCaughn, 280 U.S. 124; and we hold, as this Court has several times intimated, that the inclusion of this type of gifts in a single class with decedents' estates to secure equality of taxation, and prevent evasion of estate taxes, is a permissible classification of an appropriate subject of taxation. See Nichols v. Coolidge, 274 U.S. 531, 542; Tyler v. United States, 281 U.S. 497, 505; Corliss v. Bowers, 281 U.S. 376, 378; Taft v. Bowers, 278 U.S. 470, 482; cf. Schlesinger v. Wisconsin, 270 U.S. 230, 239.
The objection to the tax chiefly urged in brief and argument, is that the taxing statute, as applied, is a denial of due process of law because retroactive. It is said that the statute is invalid not alone because it reaches a gift made before its enactment, but because it measures the tax by rates not in force when the gift was made, applied to the value of the property not when given, but at the uncertain later time of the death of the donor.
This Court has held the taxation of gifts made, and completely vested beyond recall, before the passage of any statute taxing them, to be so palpably arbitrary and unreasonable as to infringe the due process clause. Nichols v. Coolidge, supra; Untermyer v. Anderson, 276 U.S. 440; Coolidge v. Long, 282 U.S. 582. In Nichols v. Coolidge it was held that § 402 of the 1918 Act could not constitutionally be applied to a gift inter vivos, not in contemplation of death, and made long before the adoption of any congressional legislation imposing an estate tax or taxing gifts to take effect in possession or enjoyment at or after death. In Untermyer v. Anderson, supra, it was held that the retroactive provision of the novel gift tax of the Revenue Act of 1924 was invalid as applied to gifts antedating the Act. In both the point was stressed, as the basis of decision, that the nature and amount of the tax burden imposed could not have been understood and foreseen by the taxpayer at the time of the particular voluntary act which was made the occasion of the tax. See Nichols v. Coolidge, supra, p. 542; Untermyer v. Anderson, supra, p. 445. Upon similar grounds, in Coolidge v. Long, supra, a state tax on successions was held invalid as applied to the gift to the donor's children involved in Nichols v. Coolidge, supra, because deemed to be a tax on a succession to a gift completely vested before the enactment of the taxing act or of any other law taxing successions by lineal descendants of the donor.
In Blodgett v. Holden, 275 U.S. 142, four of the justices thought the taxing statute inapplicable; and four that it applied, but was unconstitutional because retroactive.
But a tax is not necessarily and certainly arbitrary and therefore invalid because retroactively applied, and taxing acts having retroactive features have been upheld in view of the particular circumstances disclosed and considered by the Court. See Stockdale v. Insurance Companies, 20 Wall. 323, 331; Railroad Co. v. Rose, 95 U.S. 78, 80; Railroad Co. v. United States, 101 U.S. 543, 549; Flint v. Stone Tracy Co., 220 U.S. 107; Billings v. United States, 232 U.S. 261, 282; Brushaber v. Union Pacific R. Co., 240 U.S. 1, 20; Lynch v. Hornby, 247 U.S. 339, 343; Hecht v. Malley, 265 U.S. 144, 164; Cooper v. United States, 280 U.S. 409. See Taft v. Bowers, supra; United States v. Heinszen, 206 U.S. 370; Graham v. Goodcell, 282 U.S. 409.
Hence, in challenging the present tax it does not suffice to say that the gift antedated the statute. It is necessary to consider the nature of the tax and of the decedent's gift. When the gift was made it was subject to the provisions of the 1916 Revenue Act. By it, Congress had adopted the well understood system of taxation of transfers of property at death, already in force in forty-two states. Report No. 793, Senate Committee on Finance; Report No. 922, House Committee on Ways and Means; both on H.R. No. 16763, Sixty-fourth Congress. A characteristic feature of the system was that incorporated in §§ 202(b) of the 1916 Act and 402(c) of the 1918 Act, both of which imposed a tax on gifts made in contemplation of death, computed at the same value and rate as though the property given had been a part of the donor's estate passing at death.
In 1916, twenty-nine states and one territory imposed taxes on gifts in contemplation of death at the same rate as on estates passing at death. They were Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Hawaii. Most of these provided for appraisal of the value of the property as of the date of decedent's death; but a few (Indiana, Kansas, and Wisconsin) provided for valuation as of the date of transfer. The statutes are collected in Gleason and Otis, Inheritance Taxation (1st ed.).
While we need not attempt at this time to define with precision gifts in contemplation of death, their characteristic features have been sufficiently indicated by the various treasury regulations dealing with the subject. Regulation 37 under the 1918 Act (Revised Aug. 8, 1919) is typical. It provides (Art. 23): "The words `in contemplation of death' do not refer to the general expectation of death which all persons entertain. A transfer, however, is made in contemplation of death wherever the person making it is influenced to do so by such an expectation of death, arising from bodily or mental conditions, as prompts persons to dispose of their property to those whom they deem proper objects of their bounty."
It is sufficient for present purposes, that such gifts are motivated by the same considerations as lead to testamentary dispositions of property, and made as substitutes for such dispositions without awaiting death, when transfers by will or inheritance become effective. Underlying the present statute is the policy of taxing such gifts equally with testamentary dispositions, for which they may be substituted, and the prevention of the evasion of estate taxes by gifts made before, but in contemplation of, death. It is thus an enactment in aid of, and an integral part of, the legislative scheme of taxation of transfers at death. Decedent's gift as a substitute for a testamentary disposition was thus brought within the operation of the 1916 Act taxing such gifts on the same basis, with respect to rate and valuation, as transfers of property at death. Not only was the decedent left in no uncertainty that the gift he was then making was subject to the provisions of the existing statute, but in view of its well understood purpose he should be regarded as taking his chances of any increase in the tax burden which might result from carrying out the established policy of taxation under which substitutes for testamentary gifts were classed and taxed with them.
The reasonableness of the present application of the increased rate of tax of the 1918 Act must be determined in the light of the legislative policy which the 1916 Act had established before the gift was made. Obviously that policy would be set at naught if gifts made in contemplation of death, after the 1916 Act, were to be taxed more favorably than transfers from the donor occurring at and by reason of his death. As was apparent when the 1916 Act was adopted, that policy could be made effective only if gifts made in contemplation of death, while that Act was in force, were to be subject at the donor's death to such rate as might at the time of that event be applicable to the transfer of the donor's estate. The decedent, when he made his gift, was as well warned that it might be taxed on that basis as he was that it would be so taxed if on that day he had made the same disposition of it by will. A change in the rate applicable to transfers at death necessitates a corresponding change in the rate applicable to gifts made in contemplation of death, else the purpose in taxing the latter would not be attained. That purpose, as already indicated, was to put such gifts on the same plane as testamentary disposals.
Only a word need be said of the suggestion that the application of § 402(c) to gifts made while the 1916 Act was in force destroys the character of the tax as one on privileges, and so renders it invalid as an unapportioned direct tax forbidden by §§ 2 and 9 of Article I of the Constitution. See Levy v. Wardell, 258 U.S. 542, 545. The present gift was subject to the excise when made; and for reasons already indicated, we think a mere increase in the tax, pursuant to a policy of which the donor was forewarned at the time he elected to exercise the privilege, did not change its character. See Hecht v. Malley, supra, p. 164. Further, as an appropriate and indeed necessary measure to secure the effective administration of a system of death taxes, we think the present tax is to be supported as an incident and in aid of the exercise of the constitutional power to levy a tax on the transfer of the decedent's estate at death. See Purity Extract Co. v. Lynch, 226 U.S. 192; Jacob Ruppert v. Caffey, 251 U.S. 264; Lambert v. Yellowley, 272 U.S. 581.

Summary of this case from Quarty v. U.S.
upholding retroactive application of increase in rate of estate tax
upholding a retroactive gift tax where the donor was forewarned of the possibility of this tax
Summary of this case from Ferman v. U.S.
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15 (1931), for example, the Court upheld the application of an early "gift in contemplation of death" statute, enacted in 1918, to draw into the estate of a decedent who died in 1920 a gift given in 1916, before enactment of the statute.
Summary of this case from United States v. Hemme
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15, 20, a selected class of gifts inter vivos, which were not testamentary although made in contemplation of death, were so taxed as a part of the donor's estate.
Summary of this case from Heiner v. Donnan
In Milliken, the donor made gifts of corporate stock in December 1916, at which time an estate tax on gifts in contemplation of death was already in effect.
Summary of this case from Estate of Ceppi
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15, 22, 51 S.Ct. 324, 75 L.Ed. 809, the Supreme Court asserted that Congress had adopted the well-understood system of taxation of transfers of property at death already in force in 42 states; and that a characteristic feature of the system was the imposition of a tax on gifts made in contemplation of death, "computed at the same value and rate as though the property given had been a part of the donor's estate passing at death."
Summary of this case from In re Kroger's Estate
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15, 51 S. Ct. 324, 75 L. Ed. 809, where the statute was being interpreted as applicable to a gift, as in the Klein Case, the court, after concluding that a tax is not necessarily and certainly arbitrary, and therefore not invalid because retroactively applied, said at page 22 of 283 U.S. 51 S. Ct. 324, 327, 75 L. Ed. 809: "Hence, in challenging the present tax it does not suffice to say that the gift antedated the statute [1918].
Summary of this case from Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Emery
In Milliken, the Court apparently confines Untermyer to the particular facts of that case and only where a new tax has been created.
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15, 51 S.Ct. 324, 75 L.Ed. 809, the gift tax of the Revenue Act of 1924 was characterized as "novel."
Summary of this case from Hudson v. United State, (1936)
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15, the Supreme Court upheld the applicability of the rates of the Federal estate tax prescribed by the Revenue Act of 1918 to a gift made in contemplation of death in December, 1916, by a donor who died in 1920.
Summary of this case from Comptroller v. Glenn L. Martin Co.
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15, 75 L.Ed. 809, 51 S.Ct. 324, the court had under consideration a gift made in contemplation of death and whether the 1916 revenue act, in force when the gift was made, or the 1918 revenue act, in effect when the donor died, was applicable to the gift in assessing the estate tax.
Summary of this case from In re Colman's Estate
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15, 23, 51 Sup. Ct. 24, the court said, speaking of trusts inter vivos which were held to be within the contemplation of the federal estate tax: "It is sufficient for certain purposes, that such gifts are motivated by the same considerations as lead to testamentary dispositions of property, and made as substitutes for such dispositions without awaiting death, when transfers by will or inheritance become effective.
Summary of this case from Ericson v. Childs
In Milliken v. United States, 283 U.S. 15, 51 S.Ct., 324, 75 L.Ed. 809, the question arose as to whether Congress had the power under the Act of 1918, 40 Stat. 1057, to levy an estate tax on transfers in contemplation of death, made prior to the effective date of the act, but at a period when a similar Act of 1916, 39 Stat. 756, was in effect.
Summary of this case from Fidelity & Columbia Trust Co. v. Reeves
In Milliken v. United States (283 U.S. 15) the court said (at p. 23): "It is sufficient for present purposes, that such gifts are motivated by the same considerations as lead to testamentary dispositions of property, and made as substitutes for such dispositions without awaiting death, when transfers by will or inheritance become effective.

Q: How to Stop a requireJS Module from Loading What is a good strategy for stopping a requireJS module from loading from information you won't know until run-time?
The scheme I came up with involves using a loader plug-in that checks some run-time attributes and checks the "protected" modules against their attribute lists, and if they're not supposed to load, doesn't call load() from inside the loader plug-in load() function. However, this results in a browser error, which in older versions of IE, cause actual script errors, which is not what I want/need (it's actually a time-out error because load() is never called).
Is there a way to say, "Yeah, I got that you wanted to load this, but, um, we don't want to, and that's not an error, so go about your business with the rest of your loading business."  Or perhaps a better scheme to achieve what I want?

A: I solved this by doing load(null) and checking for null in the places where the module that could possibly not be loaded is referenced.

"We look the exact same!" 5-year-olds wear matching outfits for Twin Day at school
by: Amber Grigley
Posted: Nov 21, 2019 / 10:01 AM CST / Updated: Nov 21, 2019 / 10:01 AM CST
FOLEY, Ala. (WKRG) — A picture of two Foley five-year-olds is creating quite the buzz on social media. Not just here locally, but across the country.
Mother, Britney Tankersley took to Facebook to share this adorable picture after her son Myles insisted on dressing like his friend Tanner for "Twin Day."
Meet Myles Tankersley and Tanner Hunter. Both attending Magnolia School in Foley. At just 5-years-old, they both have big plans ahead.
"I want to be a firefighter," said Myles.
"I want to hold the glowsticks at the airport," said Tanner.
And a friendship they say will last a lifetime.
When told they were having "Twin Day" at school during Red Ribbon Week, Myles wasted no time.
"I came up with the idea. I told my mommy," said Myles.
Britney Tankersley said the night before "Twin Day" Myles kept going on-and-on about how he had to be twins with a boy in his class because they look exactly the same.
"We have the same eyebrows and hair," said Myles.
"Yeah, mine is curly too," said Tanner.
Trying to make Myles' vision come to light, his mom searched for Tanner's mom. Texted her to get his size and headed out to buy the two matching outfits. Not sure who Tanner was or his taste in clothes, the next day she sent Myles to school with the matching outfit, just hoping it would all work out. Hours later she received a picture of the two in their matching outfits from his teacher.
She said her heart just melted, obviously two very different children, but through Myles's eyes, he didn't see that.
"Children don't judge. They see no differences and that's what we try to instill in the students here at Magnolia," said PJ Sute, Principal at Magnolia School.
Myles and Tanner both tell me they are waiting for their moms to set up playdates so they can hang more outside of school. With both having birthdays right around the corner, it's safe to say that may happen a lot sooner than they think.

Air Force 1 White & Black – Pros"
The list of advantages of Air Force 1 White & Black is endless. However, we'll keep it simple with these top reasons for you to get yours!
Aesthetically Unique: The deconstructed visual of AF 1 shoes is a favorite of many sneakerheads. These are perfect for those who want to move away from a tidy and concise look.
Handcrafted Accents: The logo and other additions to the base are all handcrafted, all easy to maintain. Air Force 1 White & Black is a shoe that truly reflects the talent and hard work that goes into a pair.
Breathable: A summer-friendly pair of shoes! The upper layer has perforations to let the air in and out. The ventilated exterior makes it a breeze to wear for sports or work.

Great Versatility: Wear it for a run to the nearest supermarket or out at a movie night with friends. AF 1s are your stylish best friends! The comfort and aesthetic are both top-notch, so make the most of your pair!
Air Force 1 White & Black – Cons:
Even the best things in life have some shortcomings. The same goes for Air Force 1 White & Black; this pair of sneakers comes with a bucket load of pros and just a few drawbacks.
Deconstructed Look: It may come as a surprise to find this feature as both a pro and a con, but a deconstructed look in sneakers can go both ways. While many appreciate the distinct aesthetic in AF 1s, others may find the all-white or all-black more to their taste.
Wide Build: The comfortable interior of this pair of sneakers comes with a bulky outer look. Back to front, Air Force 1s have a wide finish, making it hard to like if you like your shoes to be more on the slim side.
Creases Easily: While not one to be deterred by a little sun, rain, and dirt in terms of stability, AF 1s do crease after a while. Basically, it's hard to find any shoe that will never crease anywhere. However, AF 1s do get the fine lines, so be ready for the crisp look to not last forever. About website
What's The General Opinion?:
When it comes to Nike, the general consensus is usually on the positive side. Air Force 1 White & Black is no exception. Those who love sneakers for everyday use can truly benefit from investing in this pair. The deconstructed, creative look certainly has the heart of many who prefer a little variety other than solid colors. The comfortable interior and breathable exterior is winning over those who love roaming in sneakers all day. The wide-foot population and those burdened by foot pains certainly appreciate the craft that has gone into AF 1's fit. As for sneaker collectors, the unique look, black and white theme, and handcrafted accents are reasons enough.
In conclusion, this is a pair of sneakers that has gained immense popularity and will continue to carry its fame for the unforeseeable future. If you're considering getting a pair of Air Force 1 White & Black

Q: DialogBox in Revit I would like to ask if someone can provide guidance or some link to information related creaiton of dialog box in revit, using C#.
Basically, I want to create a dialog box that appears on screen when user push the button on revit ribbon. In dialog box he must be able to enter information and than this information to be used for analysis.
Thanks!!!

A: A while ago I wrote a series of posts on how to write external commands in Revit:

In general I would suggest looking at their official documentation and examples from the SDK: https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/revit
They got some decent videos there.

A: You can use a window along with its code and logic as a custom dialog box.  See the "custom dialog" section here: Custom Dialog Boxes (wpf) or here for windows forms: Dialog Boxes in Windows Forms.  The dialog box can be displayed when the user presses a ribbon button.


U.S. naval forces quickly boarded the captured yacht after hearing the gunfire and tried to provide lifesaving care to the Americans but they died of their wounds, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
Two pirates died during the confrontation and 13 were captured and detained, the U.S. Central Command said from Tampa, Fla. The remains of two other pirates who were already dead for some time were also found. The U.S. military didn't state how those two might have died.
The Quest was the home of Jean and Scott Adam, a couple from California who had been sailing around the world since December 2004. The two other Americans on board were Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle, of Seattle, Washington.


These pictures were taken by Wouter Velthius in 2004 at Rapa Nui. I guess most of us would caall these black and white, maybe some would call them monochrome. Either way they are really great. The rest are on his catalog site, which is the latter bookmark(permalink).
One more, these are so great. This is a place I hope to get a chance to go to someday. The power of the mystery . . . the why? Why here? What for? The time it would have taken while just living was so tedious, and time-consuming. Or . . . was it?
I think the Easter Island stones + landscape must sit very well with your sensibility.
Thanks for putting these up. Very thought provoking.
Thanks for comment, I always thought these heads were beyond fascinating. Who knows what they were really doing. They sure were a determined bunch though, a very determined bunch.

How to report gas price gouging if you see it
Michael Conroy/AP
Gas prices dropped to $3.17 at a Speedway station in Kokomo, Ind., Thursday, Oct. 24, 2013. Local gasoline prices are swinging up and down ever more drastically, a result of a national fuel system that is operating with a shrinking margin for error. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)
RICHMOND, Va. -- A number of viewers have reported seeing rapidly increasing gas prices after Gov. Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency on Tuesday following the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline.
The pipeline delivers about 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast and is the primary fuel source for many Virginia gas stations.
One woman said that when she went to get gas on Tuesday afternoon, the price read $2.99 a gallon. when she came back, she saw that the price had jumped to $4.99. Then $5.99.
Michael Wallace, the director of communications for Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, said that there are a number of ways to report price gouging.
Wallace shared the following information in a statement:
Violations of the Virginia Post-Disaster Anti-Price Gouging Act are enforceable by the Office of the Attorney General through the Virginia Consumer Protection Act.
Complaints should be reported for investigation to the Office of the Attorney General Consumer Protection Section, with the exception of claims related to gasoline and motor fuel prices, which should be reported to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Weights and Measures.
Consumers who suspect they are a victim of price gouging can call the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Hotline (800) 552-9963, or (804) 786-2042 if calling from the Richmond area or outside Virginia.
To file a complaint relating to motor fuel price gouging, people can download a form from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

How tall is Jesse Smith? – Lotus Flower Tattoo Designs Simple Cute
Well, Jesse made a lot of waves this offseason and that includes his incredible height.
He's 5-foot-six, so he's already a freak in many ways.
And the only problem is that he's only 22 years old, so the fact that he had the most impressive season of his career with the Chicago Blackhawks is nothing.
While the Hawks were one of the strongest teams in the entire NHL, Chicago's most prized possession possession player, Kane, missed much of the season due to injury — and Smith, who is at the center of that core is still young, so there won't be another season like it in the near future.
It's no wonder Smith led the team in blocks. He's tall and strong — and he's pretty good at puck possession.
Smith, it appears, is now the NHL's top blocker, and he certainly will continue to be an integral part of the Chicago lineup, if the Hawks can stay healthy.

The new year is a time that's notorious for resolutions, promises, goals, and while I have a few of those this year is more about cleaning. Coming clean and cleaning my act, respectively.
So let's start with coming clean. The people closest to me know that I'm all about talking. I think I've talked a few relationships into the ground to be quite honest. See, for well over 20 years now I've been in therapy and counseling and I've learned to express myself very well. My needs, and wants, and concerns, but for some reason, sharing that with my audience (and the people it can make the biggest difference to) is something that I really struggle with. So here we go.
For more than 10 years now I've been battling anxiety and bipolar disorder; something very few know about me. And why would you? I like to write about and document the things that make me happy not showcase my ugly-cries and personal problems. If you look really hard you'll find a digital paper trail; periods of time where I don't 'gram or Snap for a few days because getting out of bed is enough of a struggle much less putting on a smile and a filter and crafting some smiley, happy, girls-run-the-world caption for all to see. Some days are great and I'm on top of the world, the girl boss everyone knows and loves, and some days are downright awful and I just want to scream, cry, or more often than not sleep. There's something I dislike about putting that type of negativity out there in the world wide web but I'm hoping to change that a little in an attempt to show the reality of day to day life. After all, we can't change the conversation on mental illness if we don't start it, right?
So that's part one. Part two: in 2016 I began attempting to change my relationship with substances. There were a lot of things that led to this: actions, inactions, people, health, money, and most importantly a hard look at myself and the world around me. We are swimming in a sea of alcohol. Everywhere you turn there's an ad, a bar, a cocktail menu, a meme, a slogan tee, and glamorized phrases like "step aside water, this is a job for wine," and "rose all day." Now it all sounds harmless but the constant presence, the perpetual downplaying of the effects and reality of alcohol have seriously tainted my thinking over the years. It's hard to see anything wrong with something that's constantly normalized in our society as a perfectly acceptable way of life.
But putting it out there, being honest, making an effort; that's where I'm starting and I'm hoping this starts an honest conversation between us, with my readers, and within each of you.

Home / News / Law / Louisiana lawmakers considering moving up start date on future sessions
By: The Center Square, Victor Skinner January 10, 2023 Comments Off on Louisiana lawmakers considering moving up start date on future sessions
Louisiana lawmakers may want to consider a constitutional amendment to move up legislative sessions, with the possibility of a break for Mardi Gras, according to lawmakers on a special joint study committee.
A Joint Special Study Committee on Legislative Sessions held a hearing in Baton Rouge on Tuesday to explore the possibility of moving the regular session start date to January or February.
The effort spawned from House Resolution 232, sponsored by Rep. Kyle Green, Jr., D-Marrero, "to study the feasibility and advisability of changing the timing, duration, and subject matter limitations of regular legislative sessions."
The legislation tasks the study committee with producing a report for the House by Feb. 1.
Discussions Tuesday centered on the feasibility of a January or February start date, which would conclude after 85 calendar days in even years and sixty days in odd years, under current constitutional requirements.
Legislative staff, Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne and Chief Legislative Economist Deborah Vivian testified Tuesday about the numerous complications the change would bring for the budget and other processes.
The move would push back the constitutionally required date for the governor to present a proposed budget to the Legislature to December, preventing new governors from setting a first year budget and requiring lawmakers to hold hearings and briefings during session, rather than before as it is now, officials said.
The constitution also requires lawmakers to rectify year end deficits that don't become clear until late August, after an earlier legislative session would conclude. That would require lawmakers to return to the capitol or develop another method for settling deficits.
An earlier start date would also necessitate an earlier budget request process, and would require state departments to develop new budgets at the same time they're rectifying issues from the previous fiscal year. The timing would be further complicated by dates set in statute, though lawmakers can more easily change those dates than those set in the constitution, staff advised.
"At first blush, I'm not a fan of changing these dates," Dardenne said, noting that prior discussions on moving up the date were ultimately derailed by concerns about conflicts with Mardi Gras. "It's a question of is it broke, and does it need fixing?"
Dardenne said the change would place added burdens on staff working to close out the prior fiscal year at the same time they would be required to craft a budget for the following year, "dealing with two fiscal years at the same time."
The state's Annual Financial Report has grown more complicated over the last decade due to federal regulations, and the change would add to the burden, he said.
"This is a huge burden that's going to be put on the staff for budget preparation while they're doing budget implementation," Dardenne said.
Vivian said an earlier start date would also inject uncertainty into the budget process by requiring staff to predict revenues farther in advance, and lawmakers would not be in session when actual revenues are determined.
"At that point you would be out of session. You wouldn't have the ability like we do not to clean things up," she said. "The farther back we go (for a start date) the less we know about cash collections."
Vivian noted that personal income tax collections, a third of the state's revenues, are not known until May, and each 1% in deviation the cash collections equates to roughly $150 million.
"It's more of an uncertainty problem at the (Revenue Estimating Conference) than a date problem," she said.
Several lawmakers conceded that a January start date is unworkable, and Rep. Jerome Zeringue, R-Houma, suggested they explore the possibility of shifting the start date up by a few weeks, then break for Mardi Gras without per diem, before returning to finish the session.
"It allows us to start a little bit earlier …. Because I think on behalf of most of the people I've spoken to, and I know Representative Green, as well, are in favor of looking at how we could possibly move it up," he said.
"I think it's a good suggestion if there's movement toward doing this," Dardenne said.
The subcommittee ultimately adopted a recommendation to the Legislature to consider a constitutional amendment to give the legislature more flexibility to set session dates and breaks.

SOCOTEC Group sets up in Spain with the acquisition of BAC Engineering Consultancy Group
Tue 15/02/2022 - 12:36
SOCOTEC Group, an independent third party and a major player in Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) services in the construction, real estate, infrastructure and environmental sectors, supports its clients in their compliance and risk management challenges by providing technical advice throughout the life cycle of their assets.
SOCOTEC Group sets up in Spain and accelerates its development in Europe with the acquisition of BAC Engineering Consultancy Group
With the acquisition of BAC Engineering, the SOCOTEC group now has a platform in Spain.
With 340 employees and a turnover of 21 million euros in 2021, the BAC Engineering group operates throughout Spain from Barcelona, and has bases in Madrid and Zaragoza and a presence in Colombia.
This acquisition completes SOCOTEC's European coverage with strong positions in France, the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
It strengthens its leadership in Testing, Inspection and Certification in the construction, infrastructure and environmental sectors.
In order to continue its development in Europe, SOCOTEC has just acquired the Spanish company BAC Engineering Consultancy Group, based in Barcelona. With 340 employees and a turnover of 21 million euros, BAC is a recognized player in inspection, engineering, testing and risk management in civil engineering, particularly transport infrastructure, maritime works and water supply systems, and in the building industry. It has particular expertise in structural analysis, non-destructive testing, environmental studies, energy performance measurement, geotechnical services, and quality control, for which it has its own laboratories (3 in Catalonia).
In addition to its headquarters in Barcelona and its Catalan footprint, the company is also located in Madrid and Zaragoza, and responds to projects located throughout Spain for public and private sector clients. It also has a subsidiary in Colombia with 50 employees.
For Hervé Montjotin, CEO of the SOCOTEC Group: "Setting up in Spain was part of our strategic roadmap and was important to complete our European coverage. We now cover almost the entire western part of the continent. Thanks to the diversity of its expertise, BAC is a condensed version of SOCOTEC. The challenges of the Spanish market are similar to those faced by the Group elsewhere: risk prevention, the search for increased sustainability of assets or better energy efficiency, migration to green energies or resolution of environmental issues. There will therefore be many synergies, both technical and commercial. For example, the major Spanish construction groups have an international reach and, with the support of SOCOTEC, BAC will be able to better support them.
He added: "BAC's growth is part of a dynamic national market that will be reinforced by the European recovery plan. Joan Franco, its founder, has been able to bring the company since its creation in 2009 to levels of expertise recognized by all. Guillem Baraut, who succeeded him at the end of last year, continues to instill the entrepreneurial spirit that characterizes the BAC teams."
For Guillem Baraut, CEO of the BAC Group: "Our desire is to become a leader in Spain in our businesses. Our 340 employees are very committed and will benefit from the group's contributions: SOCOTEC's international clients with projects in the peninsula, specific expertise or new service offers. We also intend to transfer some of our know-how. Quality, sustainability and the environment are at the heart of the attention of companies in their construction or renovation projects in Spain. We are now in a position to strengthen our services to them thanks to the merger with SOCOTEC. I salute Joan Franco and thank him warmly for bringing the company to this level and I am proud, along with all the BAC teams to be able to write a new chapter in the company's history with SOCOTEC."

01-37:28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
01-37:29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
01-37:33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
01-39:1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
01-39:2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
01-39:4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
01-39:6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
01-39:7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
01-39:10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
01-39:11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
01-39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
01-40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
01-40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
01-40:6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
01-40:8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
01-40:9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
01-40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
01-40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
01-40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
01-40:22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
01-40:23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
01-41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
01-41:15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
01-41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
01-41:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
01-41:25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
01-41:39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
01-41:41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
01-41:44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
01-41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
01-41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
01-41:49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
01-41:54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
01-41:55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
01-41:56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
01-41:57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
01-42:6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
01-42:7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
01-42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
01-42:9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
01-42:14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
01-42:18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
01-42:23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
01-42:25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
01-42:36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
01-43:15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
01-43:16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
01-43:17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
01-43:25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
01-43:26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
01-43:30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
01-44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
01-44:4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
01-44:15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
01-45:1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
01-45:3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
01-45:4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
01-45:9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
01-45:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
01-45:21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
01-45:26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
01-45:27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
01-45:28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
01-46:4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
01-46:20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
01-46:28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
01-46:29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
01-46:30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
01-47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
01-47:5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
01-47:7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
01-47:11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
01-47:14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
01-47:15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
01-47:16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
01-47:17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
01-47:20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
01-47:23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
01-47:26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
01-47:29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
01-48:2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
01-48:3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
01-48:11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
01-48:12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
01-48:13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
01-48:15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
01-48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
01-48:21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
01-49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
01-49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
01-50:2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
01-50:4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
01-50:7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
01-50:14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
01-50:15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
01-50:16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
01-50:17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
01-50:19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
01-50:23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
01-50:24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
01-50:25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
01-50:26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
02-1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
02-1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
02-1:8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
04-1:10 Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim; Elishama the son of Ammihud: of Manasseh; Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
04-1:32 Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
04-13:7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
04-13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
04-27:1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
04-34:23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
05-27:12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
05-33:13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
05-33:16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
06-14:4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
06-16:1 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel.
06-16:4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
06-17:1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
06-17:2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
06-17:14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
06-17:16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
06-17:17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
06-18:5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
06-18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
07-1:22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
07-1:23 And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
07-1:35 But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
10-19:20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
11-11:28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
13-2:2 Dan, Joseph, and Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
13-7:29 And by the borders of the children of Manasseh, Bethshean and her towns, Taanach and her towns, Megiddo and her towns, Dor and her towns. In these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel.
15-10:42 Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph.
16-12:14 Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
19-78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
19-80:1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
19-81:5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
19-105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
26-37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
26-37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
26-47:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
26-48:32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
30-5:6 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
30-5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
30-6:6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
31-1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
38-10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
40-1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
40-1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
40-1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
40-1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
40-1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
40-2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
40-2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
40-27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
40-27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
41-15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
41-15:45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
42-1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
42-2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
42-2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
42-2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
42-2:43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
42-3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
42-3:24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,
42-3:26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,
42-3:30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
42-23:50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
43-4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
43-6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43-19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
44-1:23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
44-7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
44-7:13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
44-7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
44-7:18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
58-11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
66-7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
J,320 Joseph's
01-37:31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
01-39:5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
01-39:20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
01-39:22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
01-41:42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
01-42:3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
01-42:4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
01-43:18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

Inside the Golden Bridge Yoga studio in Los Angeles is a popular elixir bar. A barista from Dragon Herbs, the company that hosts the bar, prepares customized concoctions using herbal formulas with intriguing names such as Return to Youth and Tibetan Magic.
At the JivamukTea Café, inside Manhattan's Jivamukti Yoga Center, Tonic Herbs and Teas sponsors a monthly alcohol-free happy hour, where yogis sample tonic preparations while snacking on herb-infused hors d'oeuvres.
On tap at these trendy spots are tonic drinks (also called elixirs)—herbal preparations enjoyed in tea or cold—drink form that promise, among other things, to enhance memory, increase energy levels, and promote better health. They can be custom blended to help support specific short- or long-term goals. There are also classic tonic formulations that have been used for thousands of years.
Traditional Chinese medicine maintains that herbal tonics help strengthen life force, increase longevity, and, ultimately, promote radiant health. "Just as yoga is about more than a workout, tonic herbalism is about more than treating an ailment," says Dragon Herbs founder, Ron Teeguarden. "Both practices promote lifelong health by strengthening the ability of the body to produce energy, defend itself, cleanse itself, and restore and rejuvenate."
While most tonics are taken over time, drinking an herbal elixir after a vigorous vinyasa class can have its own benefit. "Sometimes you feel it right away," says Tonic Herbs and Teas co-founder Michael Farewell, a Jivamukti Yoga instructor. The tonic, he says, can help replenish energy and nutrients lost by the body during class.
However, he adds, for chronic tiredness a regular program of tonics might be in order. "You want something that would help your overall energy level. Tonics build up in your system. They're superfoods that are loaded with phytonutrients that help balance the systems and functions of the body to promote wellness," he says.
