Genesis 1-11
Six Days of Creation and the Sabbath
1In the beginning when God created* the heavens and the earth, 2the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God* swept over the face of the waters. 3Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 And God said, 'Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.' 7So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. 8God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9 And God said, 'Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so. 10God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, 'Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.' And it was so. 12The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. 13And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
14 And God said, 'Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, 15and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.' And it was so. 16God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth, 18to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
20 And God said, 'Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.' 21So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. 22God blessed them, saying, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.' 23And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24 And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.' And it was so. 25God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, 'Let us make humankind* in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth,* and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.'
27 So God created humankind* in his image,
in the image of God he created them;*
28God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.' 29God said, 'See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.' And it was so. 31God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
2Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. 2And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. 3So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
Another Account of the Creation
In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground; 6but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground— 7then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground,* and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being. 8And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9Out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A river flows out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divides and becomes four branches. 11The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Cush. 14The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. 16And the Lord God commanded the man, 'You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; 17but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.'
18 Then the Lord God said, 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.' 19So out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for the man* there was not found a helper as his partner. 21So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23Then the man said,
'This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called Woman,*
for out of Man* this one was taken.'
24Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh. 25And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.
The First Sin and Its Punishment
3Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, 'Did God say, "You shall not eat from any tree in the garden"?' 2The woman said to the serpent, 'We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; 3but God said, "You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die." ' 4But the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not die; 5for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,* knowing good and evil.' 6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. 7Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
8 They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9But the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, 'Where are you?' 10He said, 'I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.' 11He said, 'Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?' 12The man said, 'The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.' 13Then the Lord God said to the woman, 'What is this that you have done?' The woman said, 'The serpent tricked me, and I ate.' 14The Lord God said to the serpent,
'Because you have done this,
cursed are you among all animals
and among all wild creatures;
upon your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will strike your head,
and you will strike his heel.'
16To the woman he said,
'I will greatly increase your pangs in childbearing;
in pain you shall bring forth children,
yet your desire shall be for your husband,
and he shall rule over you.'
17And to the man* he said,
'Because you have listened to the voice of your wife,
and have eaten of the tree
about which I commanded you,
"You shall not eat of it",
cursed is the ground because of you;
in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread
until you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.'
20 The man named his wife Eve,* because she was the mother of all who live. 21And the Lord God made garments of skins for the man* and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, 'See, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever'— 23therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. 24He drove out the man; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim, and a sword flaming and turning to guard the way to the tree of life.
Cain Murders Abel
4Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, 'I have produced* a man with the help of the Lord.' 2Next she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground. 3In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4and Abel for his part brought of the firstlings of his flock, their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6The Lord said to Cain, 'Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen? 7If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.'
8 Cain said to his brother Abel, 'Let us go out to the field.'* And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. 9Then the Lord said to Cain, 'Where is your brother Abel?' He said, 'I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?' 10And the Lord said, 'What have you done? Listen; your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground! 11And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12When you till the ground, it will no longer yield to you its strength; you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.' 13Cain said to the Lord, 'My punishment is greater than I can bear! 14Today you have driven me away from the soil, and I shall be hidden from your face; I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and anyone who meets me may kill me.' 15Then the Lord said to him, 'Not so!* Whoever kills Cain will suffer a sevenfold vengeance.' And the Lord put a mark on Cain, so that no one who came upon him would kill him. 16Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod,* east of Eden.
Beginnings of Civilization
17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and named it Enoch after his son Enoch. 18To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael the father of Methushael, and Methushael the father of Lamech. 19Lamech took two wives; the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20Adah bore Jabal; he was the ancestor of those who live in tents and have livestock. 21His brother's name was Jubal; he was the ancestor of all those who play the lyre and pipe. 22Zillah bore Tubal-cain, who made all kinds of bronze and iron tools. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives:
'Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say:
I have killed a man for wounding me,
a young man for striking me.
24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold,
truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold.'
25 Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, for she said, 'God has appointed* for me another child instead of Abel, because Cain killed him.' 26To Seth also a son was born, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to invoke the name of the Lord.
Adam's Descendants to Noah and His Sons
5This is the list of the descendants of Adam. When God created humankind,* he made them* in the likeness of God. 2Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them 'Humankind'* when they were created.
3 When Adam had lived for one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. 4The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
6 When Seth had lived for one hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh. 7Seth lived after the birth of Enosh for eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters. 8Thus all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.
9 When Enosh had lived for ninety years, he became the father of Kenan. 10Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan for eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters. 11Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.
12 When Kenan had lived for seventy years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13Kenan lived after the birth of Mahalalel for eight hundred and forty years, and had other sons and daughters. 14Thus all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.
15 When Mahalalel had lived for sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared. 16Mahalalel lived after the birth of Jared for eight hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters. 17Thus all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.
18 When Jared had lived for one hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch. 19Jared lived after the birth of Enoch for eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. 20Thus all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.
21 When Enoch had lived for sixty-five years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methuselah for three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. 23Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him.
25 When Methuselah had lived for one hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech. 26Methuselah lived after the birth of Lamech for seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters. 27Thus all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.
28 When Lamech had lived for one hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son; 29he named him Noah, saying, 'Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands.' 30Lamech lived after the birth of Noah for five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters. 31Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.
32 After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The Wickedness of Humankind
6When people began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, 2the sons of God saw that they were fair; and they took wives for themselves of all that they chose. 3Then the Lord said, 'My spirit shall not abide* in mortals for ever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred and twenty years.' 4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterwards—when the sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown.
5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. 6And the Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7So the Lord said, 'I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created—people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.' 8But Noah found favour in the sight of the Lord.
Noah Pleases God
9 These are the descendants of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God. 10And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12And God saw that the earth was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon the earth. 13And God said to Noah, 'I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence because of them; now I am going to destroy them along with the earth. 14Make yourself an ark of cypress* wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. 15This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16Make a roof* for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and put the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17For my part, I am going to bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. 18But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. 19And of every living thing, of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind shall come in to you, to keep them alive. 21Also take with you every kind of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them.' 22Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
The Great Flood
7Then the Lord said to Noah, 'Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation. 2Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and its mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and its mate; 3and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive on the face of all the earth. 4For in seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.' 5And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth. 7And Noah with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah. 10And after seven days the waters of the flood came on the earth.
11 In the six-hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. 12The rain fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights. 13On the very same day Noah with his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons, entered the ark, 14they and every wild animal of every kind, and all domestic animals of every kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every bird of every kind—every bird, every winged creature. 15They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 16And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in.
17 The flood continued for forty days on the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 18The waters swelled and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters. 19The waters swelled so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered; 20the waters swelled above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep. 21And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, domestic animals, wild animals, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all human beings; 22everything on dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. 23He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, human beings and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark. 24And the waters swelled on the earth for one hundred and fifty days.
The Flood Subsides
8But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and all the domestic animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided; 2the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, 3and the waters gradually receded from the earth. At the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters had abated; 4and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5The waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made 7and sent out the raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8Then he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground; 9but the dove found no place to set its foot, and it returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took it and brought it into the ark with him. 10He waited another seven days, and again he sent out the dove from the ark; 11and the dove came back to him in the evening, and there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. 12Then he waited another seven days, and sent out the dove; and it did not return to him any more.
13 In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and saw that the face of the ground was drying. 14In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 15Then God said to Noah, 16'Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.' 18So Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives. 19And every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out of the ark by families.
God's Promise to Noah
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar. 21And when the Lord smelt the pleasing odour, the Lord said in his heart, 'I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, for the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth; nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done.
22 As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,
summer and winter, day and night,
shall not cease.'
The Covenant with Noah
9God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2The fear and dread of you shall rest on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the air, on everything that creeps on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. 3Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and just as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4Only, you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5For your own lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning: from every animal I will require it and from human beings, each one for the blood of another, I will require a reckoning for human life.
6 Whoever sheds the blood of a human,
by a human shall that person's blood be shed;
for in his own image
God made humankind.
7And you, be fruitful and multiply, abound on the earth and multiply in it.'
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9'As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, 10and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark.* 11I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.' 12God said, 'This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.' 17God said to Noah, 'This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.'
Noah and His Sons
18 The sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. 19These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled.
20 Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. 21He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent. 22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25he said,
'Cursed be Canaan;
lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers.'
26He also said,
'Blessed by the Lord my God be Shem;
and let Canaan be his slave.
27 May God make space for* Japheth,
and let him live in the tents of Shem;
28 After the flood Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years. 29All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
Nations Descended from Noah
10These are the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; children were born to them after the flood.
2 The descendants of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3The descendants of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4The descendants of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.* 5From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the descendants of Japheth* in their lands, with their own language, by their families, in their nations.
6 The descendants of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. 7The descendants of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to become a mighty warrior. 9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.' 10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar. 11From that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah, and 12Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13Egypt became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14Pathrusim, Casluhim, and Caphtorim, from which the Philistines come.*
15 Canaan became the father of Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, 16and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 19And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20These are the descendants of Ham, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born. 22The descendants of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23The descendants of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. 25To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg,* for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan. 26Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the descendants of Joktan. 30The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar, the hill country of the east. 31These are the descendants of Shem, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
32 These are the families of Noah's sons, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
The Tower of Babel
11Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2And as they migrated from the east,* they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3And they said to one another, 'Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.' 5The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built. 6And the Lord said, 'Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech.' 8So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9Therefore it was called Babel, because there the Lord confused* the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
Descendants of Shem
10 These are the descendants of Shem. When Shem was one hundred years old, he became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood; 11and Shem lived after the birth of Arpachshad for five hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.
12 When Arpachshad had lived for thirty-five years, he became the father of Shelah; 13and Arpachshad lived after the birth of Shelah for four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters.
14 When Shelah had lived for thirty years, he became the father of Eber; 15and Shelah lived after the birth of Eber for four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters.
16 When Eber had lived for thirty-four years, he became the father of Peleg; 17and Eber lived after the birth of Peleg for four hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters.
18 When Peleg had lived for thirty years, he became the father of Reu; 19and Peleg lived after the birth of Reu for two hundred and nine years, and had other sons and daughters.
20 When Reu had lived for thirty-two years, he became the father of Serug; 21and Reu lived after the birth of Serug for two hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.
22 When Serug had lived for thirty years, he became the father of Nahor; 23and Serug lived after the birth of Nahor for two hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.
24 When Nahor had lived for twenty-nine years, he became the father of Terah; 25and Nahor lived after the birth of Terah for one hundred and nineteen years, and had other sons and daughters.
26 When Terah had lived for seventy years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Descendants of Terah
27 Now these are the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot. 28Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29Abram and Nahor took wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah. She was the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah. 30Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there. 32The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.

MeetingPackage.com Expands Rapidly with Global 2020 Vision
by Allwork.Space - Press
Founded in 2014, MeetingPackage.com is a meeting booking platform designed for Meeting Planners and Meeting Venues. After rapid expansion, the company has announced its goal to become "a global business and be among the top three players in this field by 2020".
MeetingPackage.com, the global marketplace for booking meeting rooms and packages, is speeding up its international growth with a multi-cultural team of top talent.

Joonas Ahola won the AmCham EU Youth Entrepreneurship Award in November 2016. This provided further proof of the viability of MeetingPackage.com and the team's dedicated execution of the company's ambitious plans so far.
Recruiting 10 new sales team members
To realize its growth ambitions, MeetingPackage.com decided to hire 10 sales managers, all at once. The company has now built a global sales team based in Espoo.
"We are happy to have fantastic new team members representing many nationalities, who have knowledge of so many languages and cultures. All of them are based in Finland, and many of them were also educated here. We were truly happy to find such talented and hard-working individuals already residing here in Finland", Joonas Ahola says.

James Mixon, a Belmont senior and philosophy major, is spending his summer documenting the lives of African porters and guides on the mountains of East Africa. Hoping to tell the stories of these tour guides, Mixon is creating a documentary that highlights what he calls the "unique subculture" of African tourism. Examining the danger behind being a porter, Mixon's work will feature what draws porters to the mountains, the pace of work and why they decide to take on such a physically taxing profession.
Throughout the semester, Mixon spent a considerable amount of time organizing the trip–focusing on the logistics of filming abroad, studying East Africa's national parks and furthering his familiarity with his project. He worked with Belmont's Honors Program and received a Lumos Travel Award to organize and fund the project.

Q: Когда писать std::endl а когда '\n'? Есть два способа записать перевод строки - std::endl и \n. В чем разница? Когда что использовать?

A: std::endl реализован как os.put(os.widen('\n')); os.flush();.
Соответственно всё отличие в том, что endl вызывает flush(), а \n - нет.
Вызов flush() очищает буфер потока, и если выполнять его слишком часто, он может ощутимо замедлить выполнение программы.
Также надо помнить что std::endl не нужен там где стандартная библиотека сама вызывает cout.flush():

*

*при завершении программы

*при чтении из std::cin

*при записи в std::cerr
Некоторые реализации буферизуют вывод в stdout построчно, и запись \n сама будет вызывать flush.
Записать буфер можно явно, манипулятором std::flush, например
std::cout << "Calculating XYZ ... " << std::flush; wait_XYZ(); std::cout << "OK\n";

*Описание endl на cppreference.com

A: Надо помнить, что в с++ файлы сами не закрываются при выходе из проги. Может и закрываются, но только в памяти, а на диске файл будет не виден. Правильно сказал предыдущий человек: смотря какую цель преследуете. Возможно не нужно так часто флашить, особенно в цикле.
Пишите "@": чтоб на почту пришло. Я случайно увидел ваш коммент. По сути: нет потоки само не закрывает (по крайней мере на диске). Приходится в деструкторе объекта указывать close(), чтоб файл был на диске. В паскале проще: там можно не указывать закрытие, при выходе из проги само закроет.

Heritage, hedonism and hospitality in Dublin
The well known capital of the Republic of Ireland sits on the country's east coast on the River Liffey and is awash with historic buildings including Dublin Castle, which dates back to the 13th century.
Dublin's array of sites and its rich cultural heritage have made it a recurrent favourite for visitors across the years, with key attractions including St Patrick's Cathedral, dating back to 1191, Phoenix Park complete with the city's zoo, and the National Museum of Ireland. On these cobbled streets however, it is the character of the city and its inhabitants – a potent fusion of heritage and hedonism – that has drawn travellers back time and again, and it is in the city's hotels that this comes together in rich splendour.
At the centre of the whole experience is the tradition of the Irish pub in Dublin. For all the healthy living obsessions of the 21st century, every Dubliner has their favourite haunt, both traditional and newly established, and so you can imagine the popularity of the pub with rooms.
The warm welcome of the city is resplendent in its smaller hotels and bed and breakfasts – the elegant townhouses of Waterloo House for example, situated mere moments from the famous St Stephen's Green and other historic landmarks. Equally, the homely feel of Ariel House, the homely guest house where foodies can delight in the excellent breakfasts, and children in particular at the family friendly hotel, may be pleased of the perfect pancakes.
For those who prefer a slightly more rural retreat of course, Dublin is surrounded by Ireland's historic hotels and country house hotels that pepper the nearby landscape but still offer an easy trip to the city. Hotels in County Wicklow or hotels in County Laois may appeal for their more rural vistas, taking in the unbridled beauty of mountains, pastures and coast.

GO! - Co-creating future-proof education
by Knight Moves
Education nowadays faces major challenges. More and more youngsters feel misplaced in the current educational system and leave school early. At the same time teachers feel overwhelmed by the increasing amount of expectations placed upon them. We're helping the Gemeenschapsonderwijs (GO!) in their mission to deliver the tools, platforms and processes to transform education for a new era.
Ridley - Smart Bike Experience
We live in an age of streams. Our music, content, movies and social interactions are available on demand to enrich our experiences throughout the day. Thanks to the 'Internet of Things', soon objects will become streams as well. Capturing data and giving feedback, allowing for all new kinds of interactions. Ridley is using these technological possibilities to build an entirely new type of smart bike. We helped them to define the experience design and build exciting services around it.
Bugaboo - Customer Experience
To better support their retailer's needs in delivering great customer experiences Bugaboo wanted to build a new B2B service platform. We were asked to map the customer journeys for this service system and to investigate the organisational changes required to implement it.
VLAIO - Digital Service For Entrepreneurs
We were commissioned to carry out a design study to identify the needs of entrepreneurs for a new centralised online service and build a proof of concept to validate the conclusions. In a society where customer expectations are rising, governmental services must evolve as well. VLAIO embarked on a journey to make their service radically digital and more customer-friendly. We helped them put design at the forefront of this evolution.
Roxell - Touch-based feeding controller
Take the huge diversity of Roxell's customers, add to that the complexity of feeding different kinds of poultry throughout their lifetimes and you have a great many factors that need to be taken into account for an interface. Our challenge was to figure out which funtionality was most important for the customers and to keep the interface simple.
VDAB - Helping refugees integrate
by Little Miss Robot
As public employment service VDAB tries to make the road to new jobs easier every day. Faced with a sudden urgency to help thousands of refugees find a new future in our country, we were asked to design new tools to help. Thanks to our iterative process and close connection with the end-user we were able to invent, prototype and build a first version of the app in 3 months.
Vacature.com - Cross-channel experience
We teamed up with Vacature.com to rethink and redesign their online presence. Using our systems approach we first transformed the Salariskompas and made it more attractive to end-users by focussing on playfulness and a low-effort accessibility. Discovering the succes of our approach, we translated the insights of the first project into a complete styleguide platform used today by different partners within and outside of Vacature to create new digital tools in a coherent and efficient way.
De Standaard - Innovating the reading experience of newspapers
In a world where everybody is constantly connected and interacting with screens, authentic reading experiences are an important thing for organisations such as the Mediahuis. After running a series of innovation sprints we created a tablet app that introduced a new way of digital reading. By prototyping directly into the code, we were able to quickly test and iterate on different interactions. Guided by reading principles such as scanability and eye focus we created a digital app that allowed for both quick browsing and in-depth exploration.

Work & Social Economy - Transforming tons of paper into digital
We were asked to design a generic application form for different types of career break requests. The challenge was to create a set of building blocks that can be used to create future forms in a consistent, user-friendly way with little effort. At the same time we needed to apply the building blocks to a specific form which needed input from both an employer and an employee. Service design was chosen as the key method to cope with the complexity.
VDAB - Edutube
by Little Miss Robot Knight Moves
Digital technology has changed our world radically. Innovations such as Khan Acadamy and Coursera have democratised learning worldwide. These services have lowered the threshold to learn and let people do it at their own pace and liking. VDAB has a clear vision to be part of this evolution. They asked us to implement a new online video service to enrich their programs with new didactic methods.
Work & Social Economy - Customer-centric strategy
Expectations of customers are changing, we've gotten used to innovative digital services with instant feedback and real-time interaction. How does a large complex governmental institution that just tripled in manpower deal with this? How can they shift their focus towards delivering better services to their customers every day together with the whole organisation? We helped the leadership team of DWSE find answers to these questions.
VUB - Portal Website
As part of an organisational rebranding were asked to redesign the VUB portal website and make it more accessible and user-friendly. The site has had a long evolution and is based on a Drupal system with a big amount of legacy code. The build of the integrated web application is complex and very comprehensive with a lot of exceptions. Due to the high daily usage of the website, we needed to make sure that service was not discontinued for stakeholders and clients while implementing the redesigns.
Museum M - Customer-centric website
Museum M loves to tell stories. Whether it is about an inspiring artist, ancient time measurement tools or the history of the museum's beautiful building, they tell all their stories with the same passion and dedication. People of all ages get to know these via a diverse range of expositions and activities. Museum M wanted to show this large variety of narratives and activities digitally to their different target groups with a new website.
Slim Naar Antwerpen - Smart Mobility
Antwerp is investing a lot in mobility and alternative solutions to minimise the impact of the road works. The Slim naar Antwerpen website gathers a great amount of content from several partners and for different target audiences (visitors, residents, employees and employers), which made the initial website very complex and not so easy to navigate. We were asked to redesign the current website for an optimal user experience and create a concept for a mobile application.
Muntpunt - Designing a state of the art library experience
During schools exam period, Muntpunt notices a high peak in visitor amounts, especially in the number of students. In these periods high schoolers, college and university students are frequently visiting the library to study. Currently, there's a reservation system, but it only allows to make a reservation a few study spaces. For the other seats the rule of 'first come first served' applies. Today, this system doesn't meet the expectations of the team. That's why the goal for this project was to design a better comprehensive and modern system.
UNHCR - Songs for the crossing
by Once Little Miss Robot
Songs for the Crossing is a world premiere of composer Jeroen D'Hoe, based on the award-winning poems by Stefan Hertmans about people on the run during World War I. At the same time 'the crossing' is a metaphor for the current refugee migration. UNHCR approached us to create a video projection on the meter-high façade of the historic Flagey building in the heart of Brussels to call attention to fundamental values such as tolerance and solidarity with refugees.
We define, test and implement innovation strategies. And we get breakthrough products, services and experiences to market. Fast.

Gadolinium detected in skin of patients with impaired renal function, but no NSF: What does that prove?
July 3, 2020 4:26 pm / 3 Comments on Gadolinium detected in skin of patients with impaired renal function, but no NSF: What does that prove?
Editorial by Sharon Williams
If you only look at one specific patient population such as the renally-impaired, for predominantly one specific disease symptom like skin changes, how would you ever expect to know with any certainty whether or not other patient populations are also being harmed by GBCAs? (S. Williams, 2012 Letter to FDA)
I have been debating how to present the findings of a study that was published earlier this year, and I decided that the best thing for me to do was to write an editorial about it.
The paper by Kanal et al., Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Risk Assessment and Skin Biopsy Quantification in Patients with Renal Disease following Gadobenate Contrast Administration, says that the study "aimed to analyze any nephrogenic-systemic fibrosis-related risks and quantify skin gadolinium levels in patients with impaired renal function but without nephrogenic systemic fibrosis who had received gadobenate."
I have read the paper several times and I am still not sure what the study hoped to prove. Is it that half-doses of gadobenate (MultiHance) are safe to use even in renally-impaired patients? That subclinical NSF does not exist? That low levels of gadolinium (Gd) in the skin means that the patient has not been adversely affected by retained gadolinium? With all due respect to the authors, I feel like something is missing.
The study used a screening questionnaire that is geared toward NSF and is primarily about skin changes (Lima et al., 2013). From what we know from the literature about NSF and gadobenate, I am not surprised that so few of the patients screened positive for NSF and that none were found to actually have NSF, especially when, according to the paper, "the vast majority" of them had received half-doses of gadobenate. As I have said many times about NSF and gadolinium retention, I believe we need to consider what might be happening on the inside of the patient, and not just look at the skin for visible evidence of a problem, and, indeed, not just look for NSF as the only point of concern when it comes to gadolinium retention.
Interestingly, in the 2007 paper by High et al. that was referenced, it said that gadolinium was detected in only 4 of the 13 tissue specimens from 7 NSF patients. However, all 7 patients were included in the NSF Registry. Perhaps that is why having evidence of Gd in tissue is not part of the Clinicopathological Definition and Workup Recommendations for NSF that was published by Girardi et al. (2010). Since a patient does not need to have evidence of gadolinium in tissue to be diagnosed with NSF, I would not expect that it would be required in order to prove someone has "subclinical NSF" either. Finding no gadolinium or extremely low levels of gadolinium in dermal tissue does not seem to prove or disprove whether someone has been adversely affected by retained gadolinium.
I understand that there may be situations when undergoing an MRI with contrast might be deemed medically necessary and agreed to by the patient. However, I sincerely hope that, after reading this paper, radiologists and clinicians do not feel there is no concern about using gadobenate as long as it is used in half-doses. We have to remember that, for inclusion in the study, only a single dose of gadobenate (MultiHance) was required, and the highest gadolinium level was found in a patient with an eGFR of 53 who had 1 MRI with an unspecified amount of contrast. I think it is still important to consider the cumulative effect of any gadolinium that is retained, and to remember that the damage caused by gadolinium is more than skin deep – it goes to patients' bones and vital organs as well. The adverse effects of gadolinium in internal organs will not be visible with the naked eye, but that does not mean it is not happening.

Article says that Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents should be used with extreme caution
May 13, 2019 2:01 pm / Leave a comment
A recently released review article by Drs. Katarina Leyba and Brent Wagner, titled "Gadolinium-based contrast agents: why nephrologists need to be concerned", doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) for contrast-enhanced MRIs. The authors said that 'nephrogenic' systemic fibrosis is a misnomer since GBCAs are the known trigger for the disease; kidney impairment is a risk factor. They note that "the experimental evidence demonstrates that gadolinium-based contrast agents are biologically active – that is, not inert". Drs. Leyba and Wagner said that "because GBCAs are biologically active in vitro and in vivo, and patients with normal renal function have reported adverse events that overlap those of 'nephrogenic' systemic fibrosis (i.e., rash, muscle/tendon 'tightness, pain…), and because the other risk factors are undetermined", medical professionals need to be "open to the possibility that 'nephrogenic' systemic fibrosis and these gadolinium-based contrast agent-induced symptoms are part of a continuum".

Revised GBCA Product Labeling with Medication Guide is now available for all agents
May 2, 2018 8:53 am / Leave a comment
As of April 26, 2018, the revised Product Labeling with the Medication Guide for all gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) were posted on the FDA's website. The FDA announced on December 15, 2017, that it was requiring GBCA manufacturers to revise product labeling and create a Medication Guide for each GBCA. The purpose of the Medication Guide is to provide patients with information about gadolinium retention in the body so that they can make an informed decision before agreeing to have an MRI with contrast – an MRI with a gadolinium-based contrast agent. Gadolinium (Gd) is a toxic metal and any amount that remains in the brain and other parts of the body has the potential to have a harmful effect. While the linear GBCAs are the least stable, macrocyclic agents have been found to leave residual gadolinium in patients' bodies as well. The long-term effects of gadolinium deposition are still unknown; however, research is ongoing.
The Medication Guide for each agent mentions "many doses of gadolinium medicines" as a possible risk factor. Gadolinium-based contrast agents are intravenously administered prescribed drugs that can have a toxic effect even after one dose of contrast. Currently, no one knows why some patients become symptomatic after having one or more MRIs with a GBCA, while others do not. However, it appears that everyone retains an unknown amount of gadolinium from each dose of a gadolinium-based contrast agent they receive.
Links to the new Product Labeling for each agent are provided below. (more…)
European Medicines Agency takes action on Linear Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents
July 25, 2017 9:10 am / Leave a comment
On July 21, 2017, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) confirmed previous recommendations to suspend the use of three linear gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) used for MRIs, citing potential risks from brain deposition of gadolinium. The use of one other linear GBCA will be restricted to liver scans.
The 3 suspended agents are Magnevist (gadopentetic acid), Omniscan (gadodiamide), and OptiMark (gadoversetamide). The agent restricted to liver scans is MultiHance (gadobenic acid).
Read the article on Aunt Minne about this action here:

We are encouraged by the EMA's action and believe that the FDA should take a similar stance.
Patients and their doctors should report all adverse events and clinical symptoms to the FDA or the appropriate governing authority in their country. Chronic symptoms that develop soon after MRIs with contrast could be manifestations of the harm done by gadolinium deposition in the brain, bones, and elsewhere in the body.

-NDP1 Youth Arm President Kevin S. Fahie snubbed

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - After the National Democratic Party (NDP 1) forced him to retire, former Deputy Financial Secretary, Wendell M. Gaskin is back.
This time, he has been appointed as Chairman of the BVI Ports Authority Board of Directors. His appointment became effective following a recent Cabinet meeting, however, his tenure is unknown at this time.
Mr Gaskin, a businessman with over 30 years' experience in the Virgin Islands Government and a background in accounting, had moved to St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands (USVI) after his Civil Service retirement, where he worked for former Governor, Kenneth E. Mapp.
The new sheriff
Now, Mr Gaskin will report to the Minister for Communications and Works, Hon Mark H. Vanterpool (R4).
Meanwhile, it is our newsroom understanding that President of the NDP1 Youth Arm, Kevin S. Fahie had expressed an interest in the post, however, he was snubbed, instead, the job was given to Mr Gaskin.
Mr Fahie is now the Deputy Chairman of the Board, where the BVI Ports Authority has been over the past five years, rocked by scandals and allegations of corruption. Further, they had a whopping $40M overrun on the Ports Development Project, now call the Tortola Pier Park (TPP).
Three reports on the Ports Development Project from the Auditor General, Ms. Sonia M. Webster, the VI House of Assembly's Public Accounts Committee and a Project Manager, Mr. Huge E. Darley, all concluded there was corruption, no value for money, breaking of laws, conflict of interest and no one looking out for taxpayers money.
Recently, the NDP 1 commissioned its own audit in which many have dismissed it by questioning, how could a government, in effect, audit itself?
Self-auditing
The report carried out by the Charterland Chartered Surveyors Property Consultants was also inconclusive—as to if there was value for money and corruption—since many critical documents needed to have a credible and complete audit somehow disappeared, according to the same report.
Mr. Gaskin is a Virgin Islander via Belonger status having been born in St. Kitts & Nevis.

Is the minister trying to keep a secret under cover? Was there no one to take that position on the island? Every time this person leave and go to the USVI to work he is brought back with a higher position. The minister is not seeing our people where he got help.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Wendel "Pow" Gaskins having retired from civil service and emigrated next door go St. Thomas to work for the Mapp administration that kicked to the curb after one term. Now, Pow is being appointed over other board members (are other board members that less or this is pure, unadulterated raw politics ), as Chairperson of BVI Port Authority (Marine). It seems as if the Chairperson is being passed around from one crony to another. The immediate past Chair is allegedly running for election with the current government. Cronyism seems to be running rampant in the BVI; cronyism is a stench in the current environment. Is NDP, anticipating that it may probably not be relected to power when the dust settles in the imminent constitutionally due general election that must occur by 16 April 2019, unashamingly stacking the deck with cronies? Are they tying the hands of the next government, assuming that it may not be reelected? The BVI needs a fixed electoral calendar like the UK, the Mother country has, ie, election occurs the first Thursday of May every 5 years. Similarly, 120 days before a general election, the party in power will be limited from passing any non-emergency legislation or making any non emergency appointments. Let's clean up the rot in the state of Denmark. Pow should decline the appointment but one is more apt to see a green mule flying. That is not how cronies roll.

Four out of five Australian households are estimated to be underinsured by 10% or more against rebuilding costsi. But, having the right cover is essential to avoid being caught out in the event of loss or damage.
The average Australian household spent 5.6% of their weekly expenditure on insurance (excluding life insurance) in 2011 according to the Australian Bureau of Statisticsii. Yet despite spending on average $11.33 a week on home and contents insuranceii, there are high levels of underinsurancei.
When a policy does not fully cover the cost of replacing your home and contents you are underinsured. One reason that can cause this is if you inaccurately calculate the replacement cost of your home and contents. With the cost of building a new house having increased four-fold over the past 20 years, it is vital to calculate your rebuilding and replacement costs accuratelyiii.
"The sum insured may have been sufficient to cover rebuilding costs when the policy was taken out. However, rebuilding costs may change at a greater rate than annual increases in the sum insured, resulting in the consumer becoming underinsured over time.iv"
This makes it important to check each renewal so that the sum insured is adequate. Building code changes that could impact significantly on the cost of rebuilding - for example, the addition of cyclone building codesv - and renovations are two factors to be aware of when checking the sum insured. It is also important to consider cover for the cost of demolition and the removal of debris related to the destroyed or damaged part of the building.
One way of calculating the replacement cost of your home and contents is by using online calculators that work out 'the sum insured'. The most reliable and thorough calculators ask many detailed questionsvi. Allianz offers a home building replacement cost calculator and a home contents replacement cost calculator on its website to help customers estimate the replacement cost of their home and contents.
With the family home being the primary asset for many Australians, it's vital for homeowners to know the precise replacement costvii. As construction costs have increased, particularly in the last 10 years, it's important to calculate the replacement costs accuratelyviii. There are two main methods for estimating the sum-insured cost (the amount it would cost to rebuild and replace your home and contents). The 'cost per square metre' approach is based on the house size and some very basic information, but can be very inaccurate in terms of actual replacement costi. More advisable is 'elemental estimating', which tends to be more closely aligned to the actual cost. It takes into account different elements of a building and calculates rebuilding costs using local wage and material pricesi.
Allianz's full home building replacement cost calculator asks questions about your building including the location, period of construction, size (area and floors), construction quality and materials used. Other features of the house such as bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, garages, security, heating, lighting and water systems are considered in terms of their number and size to provide more specific data to help estimate the replacement cost. The calculator is provided by Cordell, a company that specialises in project activity and building cost information in Australiaix. It is important to note that the Allianz calculator is an estimate based on averages. Your specific circumstances may be different: to determine the replacement cost of your building, you will need to consult an architect, a builder or a valuation expert.
Contents insurance covers the cost of replacing or repairing your possessionsx. With the average Australian household's contents worth $61,000, it's essential to have your possessions correctly valuedxi. When it comes to estimating the replacement cost of contents, online calculators can be used, however a better (although admittedly more labour and time intensive) method is to record how much it would cost to replace every item in your housexii. Bear in mind that many items can be overlooked due to their everyday nature including crockery, cutlery, bed linen, books, CDs, clothing and footwear - but these would still have to be replaced in an insured eventxiii. Taking clear pictures and retaining proofs of purchase (such as receipts) will also assist in the calculation of the true cost of your contents, should they need to be replacedx.
Allianz's home contents replacement cost calculator can help you estimate your contents' replacement cost. The initial estimate is based on the quantity and quality of your contents and the number of rooms, balconies, garages and sheds. The special items pricing area allows customers to put down the precise value of possessions they consider valuable to them such as jewellery which require specifying in their policy. Based on this information the calculator makes an estimate of your possession, for example, the number, quality and value of washing machines.
After the initial estimate, you can modify the assumed possessions list to make the estimate more accurate. The calculator is provided by Sum Insured, a company that specialises in the research and production of building contents informationxiv. It is important to note that the Allianz contents calculator provides an estimate based on averages. To determine the replacement costs of your specific contents you will need to consult a valuation expert or compile a detailed inventory of all your contents.
It's vital to calculate the replacement cost of your home and contents accurately so you don't end up with extra replacement costs if your home or contents are damaged or destroyed. Regularly adjusting the sum insured on your home insurance policy based on the accurate calculation of replacement costs will help you avoid underinsurance.

The Engineer's and Mechanic's Encyclopaedia is a book edited by Luke Hebert, a Birmingham patent agent and journalist, and published by Thomas Kelly of Paternoster Row.  The first edition appeared in 1836 and 1837. The second edition appeared in 1849.  It was in two octavo volumes (Vol. 1, 796 pp and vol. 2, 928 pp), illustrated with woodcuts in the text and a number of full page engravings.

Many of the articles relate to specific processes and machines, and overall the encyclopaedia is not over-concerned with the theoretical aspects.  Of particular value are the monograph-length accounts of the progress of rail transport and steamboats.

Background and recording[edit | edit source]
The single was released on September 14, 2018[4] and is the follow up to the band's first single "Solara", in its partially reformed incarnation. The song was produced by record producer Rick Rubin, who the band had previously worked with band in the mid-'90s.[5] It was recorded at the Shangri La recording studio, Malibu, California in early 2018.
Music video[edit | edit source]
On September 13, 2018, Corgan announced on his personal Instagram account that production had wrapped on the music video for the song. The video was directed by Corgan himself and produced by long-time Smashing Pumpkins collaborator Linda Strawberry. Fans of the band were recruited as extras for the video.[6] The music video features Mark McGrath of the rock band Sugar Ray playing the role of DJ Jackie Cherry, who has recruited the band to promote a Halloween haunted house charity event. The band must survive the night at the house to win the money for charity. Each member is visited by apparent ghosts and demonic creatures, including members of Drab Majesty, before it is revealed that Corgan is in control of all the preceding events that unfolded.[7]
Critical reception[edit | edit source]
Rolling Stone was positive about the track, describing it as having "bright melodies" and that it was reminiscent of the band's hit single "1979".[8] Uproxx said the song "finds the band recapturing some of their past glory" and that Corgan's delivery is "melodic and accessible".[9]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Blur like a rocket
Torch like a dying sun
Snap like a dragon
Dive like a pelican
Kingdoms of my kingdom come
Skip like a prophet
Spit like a poet's gun
But say how long can this go on?
Stumbling before you speak
Stunning and stunning and stunning the black
You turn turncoat
Inward to seek out all your hopes
It's your signals
That hurts me most
We're in the middle
Rule like a tyrant
Make like a valentine
Tear like a siren
Sulk like a sunken mine
It's all but one, so
Row like a felon
Drown like a captain's son
Stunning and stunning with cannons to lead
And tigers tight
You scan the fields, someone dies tonight
It's tragic, but at least it's not you

The electromagnetic signature of lightning strokes varies and is different based on whether it is cloud to cloud, cloud to ground or ground to cloud. A single detector and its processing software is unable to triangulate on a potential strike and so various algorithms have been developed to try to differentiate between electrical noise and actual strikes. Also because there is no triangulation the distance of a strike is dependent on how close that strike was to the "average" strength of a lightning strike. Strong strikes at long distances may look as close as a weak strike at a closer distance (or even closer). It provides a pretty reasonable interpretation of lightning strikes and can provide meteorological information.
