A drive-in cinema could be coming to town near Bristol
The town's cinema has been closed and is now looking at different ways to give movie goers their film fix
Heather PickstockNorth Somerset reporter
Clevedon could get its first ever drive-thru cinema – in a bid to provide for movie-lovers during lockdown.
Bosses at the North Somerset town's Curzon Cinema are in talks with North Somerset Council about the possibility of holding a drive-in cinema at the Salthouse Fields later this summer.
The cinema is currently closed due to the Government lockdown and is looking at ways to give film goers their fix and raise money for the Curzon, a registered charity.
Curzon CEO Susannah Shaw said: "We are looking at the possibility of putting on a drive through cinema at the Salthouse Fields.
"We are in discussions with North Somerset Council regarding the idea.

"This would be a way of people enjoying a night out at the movies but in a safe way as they would be socially distanced in their cars."
The Curzon has seen the majority of its income stop since the Government lockdown was announced in March.
The drive-in cinema would cater for adults and children, with films planned for a younger audience as well as adult movies.
It is not known how many vehicles could be accommodated on the site.

"The number of vehicles depends on the sort of screen we can use," said Susannah.
"But we are going to need some funding to get any initiative up and running."
Mrs Shaw said she hoped the Curzon would re-open later this year.

But it is very likely any screenings will have to adhere to strict social distancing rules, which would mean a change to the amount of people able to attend any screenings.
"We are watching the situation on a day-to-day basis," she said.

"The first thing we will be doing is a survey to ask how people feel about coming back to the cinema.
"We are also heavily reliant on volunteers so will also be canvassing them for their views."
The cinema, which opened in 1912, is one of the oldest independently run cinemas in the UK. Work on repairing its leaking roof had to be put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, but resumed this week.

OBJECTIVE. The impact of exclusively breastfeeding (EBF) on child body mass index (BMI) from birth through 60 months of age was investigated.
METHODS. 60,190 mothers and children attending Women, Infant and Children (WIC) clinics in the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties of California provided data on breastfeeding duration, maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, and child weight-for-length (WL) was measured at 3 month intervals until 5 years of age. Missing time points were interpolated in determining child BMI/WL z-score trajectories plotted on the Center of Disease Control (CDC) infant and child growth curves. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to contrast the impact of notbeing EBF against being EBF from 0-3 months, and being EBF from 0-6 months. In subsets of the population the relationship was examined in White Hispanic (n=43,360) versus all others race/ethnicities of (n=16,830) children. All models controlled for maternal pre-pregnancy maternal BMI and income.
RESULTS. Duration ofEBF from 0-3 months and 0-6 months of age was protective against child BMI z-scores being above the average growth trajectory (P=0.0001). Asignificant inverse association between EBF and overall BMI/WL z-scores for both males and females (P<0.0001) was found. The impact of EBF on child growth trajectory began to weaken at 15 months for females and 18 months for males. Children who were not EBF had higher mean BMI/WL z-scores at every time point than those who were EBF. Those who were EBF for 0-3 months had a lower BMI; those who were EBF for 0-6months had even lower BMI/WL z-scores by 5 years of age. Hispanic children had a higher BMI growth curve than non-Hispanic children even after adjusting for EBF, pre-pregnancy BMI, and income. Mothers with a higher pre-pregnancy BMI tended to have children with higher BMI/WL z-scores (P<0.0001).
CONCLUSION. This study supports the public health efforts to encourage EBF for at least 3 months and optimally for 6 months as a method to protect against childhood obesity.

In ten years with GEA, Jan has studied and worked in seven different countries. From the start, things developed very quickly. In addition to the three study locations in Germany, France and Switzerland, a semester at the University of California and internships in France and the UK contributed to his international experiences at an early stage. After graduating, he started working for GEA in Bönen as a production planner for the MIone milking robot, bringing it from prototype to serial production and setting up an additional manufacturing line in Dijon, France.
In 2010, he received an offer to become Project Manager for a new manufacturing plant setup in China. From there he developed to the Director Manufacturing for two sites in China in 2011 and just a year later, in 2012, he became Vice President Operations.
In this function, he was responsible for Supply Chain Management and Production for three different sites in China. His latest endeavor brought him in 2015 to the Netherlands where he took the position as Head of Supply Chain and Production in the central manufacturing site for barn equipment in Europe.
I actually hadn't heard of GEA until I was looking for an internship prior to going to university … and then as life plays out at times one thing led to another. I was offered to pursue an international study program whilst being employed already by GEA.
In the course of this program I had the chance to get to know manufacturing locations in France and the UK and when I graduated I had the opportunity to move into a position in operations that directly linked to my thesis and field of interest.
I first started working in the manufacturing department when the automated milking system MIone was still in its prototype phase and I became member of the project team. Once we reached the point of completing the phase of serial production a new opportunity came along as the Farm Technologies Segment was looking to start manufacturing activities in China. I became the project manager and then gradually developed in different roles being responsible for both the equipment and chemical production and operational functions covering all processes from order receipt to customer delivery including quality management. Recently in the course of OneGEA I moved to the Netherlands and became responsible for the manufacturing site and supply chain at Royal De Boer at Leeuwarden.
I want to be challenged and love to get know now different cultures and languages. The aspects continue to be true which is the basic criterion for me, to enjoy what I am doing. Yet I expect from the new organization to nourish entrepreneurial spirit and to promote a culture that embraces change.
Picking up on what makes me enjoy what I am doing. Seeking opportunities to create and shape things and to make a difference. There are tons of opportunities ahead within GEA. Since I worked for a long time on an operational level I see one of my next steps being more in a strategic position and there is always the thought of pursuing an executive study program in the back of my head. Time will tell and I just want to keep moving forward developing myself. Everything else will just be a result of it.

While the pace of most the songs on Shark Speed's second release, Education EP, have a pace and tonal energy similar to that of the majority of the songs on VH1's top 20 countdown there is a style about them that gives them an organic genuine vibe. The instrumentation is creative and captivating and the vocals are big and inspirational but somehow avoid giving you that middle-age, alterna-rock inspiration that gets your mom hyped up on the way to the grocery store. Overall Shark Speed does well at balancing their power pop songs with a sincerity and authenticity that make them legit.

Definition of Slander
What is the definition of the term "slander"? What does the term "slander" mean?
"Slander" occurs when a spoken statement, said or implied to be true, is made that is malicious, negative and defamatory. A slanderous remark will result in damage to a person or business' reputation.
"Slander" and "libel" are often confused - "slander" is a spoken statement, while "libel" is a printed statement (newspaper article, etc).
Let's look at a couple of examples of "slander":
Example 1:
Joe Smith and John Doe own a restaurant in town. The two men eventually fall out, and Joe Smith buys out John Doe.
John Doe holds a grudge against Smith and decides to slander the restaurant.
"XYZ Restaurant uses expired meat" and "Joe Smith keeps all of the service staff's tips for himself" are just some of the untruths that Doe spreads about Smith and the restaurant.
This is slander, as John Doe is making malicious and defamatory remarks against XYZ Restaurant with the intent of damaging their reputation. Doe is also holding these remarks out to be true, when he knows that they are false.
Jill Smith is fired from an insurance company after working there for 7 years. She is bitter about the termination and decide to exact revenge by spreading rumors about her ex-boss.
Jill Smith spreads rumors that her ex-boss was embezzling from the company, even though she knows that this wasn't the case. She is hoping to damage her ex-boss' reputation by spreading false information about him.
Again - this is slander.

ARCHIVED - Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2012-446
Route reference: Part 1 application posted on 16 March 2012
Ottawa, 17 August 2012
Southshore Broadcasting Inc.
Leamington, Ontario
Application 2012-0220-0
CFTV-TV Leamington – Licence amendment
The Commission approves an application by Southshore Broadcasting Inc. to amend the broadcasting licence for the low-power, primarily English-language community-based television station CFTV-TV Leamington to add a digital transmitter to serve the area of Leamington, Ontario.
The Commission also approves the licensee's request for authorization to multiplex its digital television signal in order to provide four separate programming services offering various types of local programming.
1. The Commission received an application by Southshore Broadcasting Inc. (Southshore) to amend the broadcasting licence for the low-power, primarily English-language community-based television programming undertaking CFTV-TV Leamington in order to add a digital transmitter to serve the area of Leamington, Ontario.
2. The new transmitter CFTV-DT Leamington would operate on channel 34 with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 356 watts (maximum ERP of 621 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 56 meters).
3. Southshore also requested authorization to multiplex1 its digital television signal in order to provide services that offer the following types of local programming:
local community programming as required under its current broadcasting licence;
local French-language content from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Spanish-language programming for the Hispanic community from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.;
local programming specifically produced for people with intellectual, mobility, hearing and visual disabilities, as well as Aboriginal programming from the local Caldwell First Nation; and
local municipal programming (council meetings, town halls, events, public service announcements, emergencies and notices).
4. Southshore indicated that the licence amendment and authorization to multiplex are necessary for the viability of this undertaking.
5. The Commission received several interventions in support of this application.
Commission's analysis and decisions
6. In Broadcasting Public Notice 2002-31 (the digital transition policy), the Commission concluded that its policy regarding the transition from analog to digital would allow for the licensing of multicast programming services on the following basis:
Multicast services should make a positive contribution to the Canadian broadcasting system during the transition period.
Each multicast programming service will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be licensed by the Commission separately from the main [digital television] service. A multicast service will generally be subject to the same Canadian content, logging and other regulatory requirements that apply to existing television services.
The Commission's predisposition will be to license new and innovative multicast services, in preference to those that duplicate existing over-the-air, pay or specialty services.
The delivery of a multicast service may not take precedence over the broadcast of the [high definition television] version of a program whenever such a version is available.
7. After examining the application in light of the digital transition policy and other applicable regulations and policies, the Commission considers that the issues it must address are the following:
whether the proposed multicast services would make a positive contribution to the Canadian broadcasting system; and
whether the licensee should obtain a broadcasting licence for each proposed multicast service.
Would the proposed multicast services make a positive contribution to the Canadian broadcasting system?
8. The Commission notes that CFTV-TV is a small community television station serving the Leamington market, and that Southshore has a proven record of establishing community partnerships through various activities. In the Commission's view, the new and innovative multicast services proposed by the licensee could bring considerably more local programming to the service area and to underserved audiences within the community, thereby making a positive contribution to the community of Leamington and, by extension, to the Canadian broadcasting system as a whole.
Should the licensee obtain a broadcasting licence for each proposed multicast service?
9. Since the issuance of the digital transition policy, the Commission has granted pay and specialty services the authority to add new multiplexes of their services, at their discretion, through standard conditions of licence applicable to all such services and without requiring that the licensee obtain a separate broadcasting licence for each multicast service. However, each service must individually meet all regulatory obligations (that is, regulatory obligations cannot be spread across the multicast services).
10. The Commission notes that, as set out in Broadcasting Decision 2003-581, Southshore is required, by condition of licence, to devote not less than 80% of the broadcast year to the broadcast of Canadian programming and not less than 60% of the broadcast year to the broadcast of local programming.
11. In light of the above, the Commission does not consider it necessary to require Southshore to obtain a separate broadcasting licence for each proposed multicast service. However, in accordance with the digital transition policy, the Commission considers that each multicast service should be individually subject to the same programming requirements imposed on CFTV-TV regarding the broadcast of Canadian and local programming.
12. In light of the above, the Commission approves the application by Southshore Broadcasting Inc. to amend the broadcasting licence for the low-power, primarily English-language community-based television programming undertaking CFTV-TV Leamington in order to add a digital transmitter to serve the area of Leamington. The new transmitter CFTV-DT Leamington will operate on channel 34 with an average ERP of 356 watts (maximum ERP of 621 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 56 meters).
13. The Commission also approves the licensee's request for authorization to multiplex its digital television signal in order to provide services that offer the types of local programming described in paragraph 3 above.
14. Accordingly, the Commission imposes the following condition of licence:
The licensee is authorized to multiplex its digital television signal in order to provide up to four separate programming services offering the following: local community programming, French- and Spanish-language programming, programming for people with intellectual, mobility, hearing and visual disabilities, Aboriginal programming from the local Caldwell First Nation, and local municipal programming.
The licensee shall, for each of these programming services, devote not less than 80% of the broadcast year to the broadcast of Canadian programs.
Further, the licensee shall, for each of these programming services, devote not less than 60% of the broadcast year to the broadcast of local programming, as defined in Community television policy, Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2010-622, 26 August 2010.
15. The Commission reminds the licensee that, pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the authorities granted in this decision will only be effective when the Department of Industry notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued.
Case-by-case consideration of requests to multiplex
16. As noted above, the Commission stated in the digital transition policy that the licensing of multicast programming services would be considered on a case-by-case basis. In regard to the present application, the authorization for Southshore to distribute four separate signals under one broadcasting licence has been granted based on the specific circumstances and aspects of its request. Future requests for authorization to multiplex a digital signal will continue to be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the specific circumstances and aspects of those requests.
17. The Commission expects the licensee to broadcast public service announcements and to inform viewers of the existence of the new transmitter by way of its website in a manner consistent with the requirements set out in section 3 of the appendix to Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2011-198. Furthermore, the Commission expects the licensee to do this for a period of at least three months from the day this authorization is issued, and before the licensee ceases to broadcast in analog or changes channel, whichever is sooner.

Frances E. Siewert, ed., The Amplified Bible. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1965. Revised 1987.
The Amplified Bible was first published in three volumes: the New Testament in 1958, the Old Testament in 1962 and 1964. These were produced by Mrs. Frances Siewert (1881-1967) with the financial support of the Lockman Foundation in La Habra, California.
Mrs. Siewert (nee Cornelius) was educated at Willamette College at Salem, Oregon, where she received a Bachelor of Letters in 1900. After her graduation she found employment as a schoolteacher. In 1903 she married the Rev. Samuel A. Siewert, a Presbyterian minister. She began to write articles on Christian education which appeared in such periodicals as the Sunday School Times. Continuing her education, she received a Master of Arts degree from Willamette College in 1910. Her marriage eventually produced one child, a daughter named Carmen, who was sadly afflicted with polio, and who died at the age of thirty. Her husband died in 1940. Throughout her life Frances made good use of her education. She sought and created opportunities to teach Bible classes to women and children, and became a popular speaker at women's clubs and Sunday-school conventions. 1
Although Mrs. Siewert had but little academic training in the original languages of the Bible, around 1950 she conceived the idea of producing an edition of the New Testament which would employ "amplifications" to bring out the meaning of the Greek words, as she found them explained in various scholarly sources, or as translated in different Bible versions. After obtaining financial support from the Lockman Foundation in 1952, she began working on the "Amplified New Testament." Her method was to take the American Standard Version as a base text, modernize the style, and, using sources like Marvin Vincent's Word Studies in the New Testament, to incorporate glosses, explanatory phrases, and alternative renderings into the text. The complete New Testament was published by Zondervan in 1958, with an Introduction by Mrs. Siewert. It was soon brought to the attention of Billy Graham, who enthusiastically endorsed it, and it quickly became a commercial success. With continuing support from the Lockman Fondation and Zondervan, she then devoted herself to a similar edition of the Old Testament, in which she seems to have relied heavily on the Revised Standard Version. The final volume appeared in 1964, when Mrs. Siewert was eighty-three years old. She died three years later.
After the publication of Siewert's three volumes, the Lockman Foundation employed several scholars to revise the entire work for a one-volume edition, which was published in 1965. The names of the revisers have not been made public. In this revised edition Mrs. Siewert's original Introduction is replaced by a "Publisher's Foreword" in which it is said that the purpose of the Amplified Bible is "to reveal, together with the single word English equivalent to each Hebrew and Greek word, any other clarifying shades of meaning that may be concealed by the traditional word-for-word method of translation," so that "the full meaning of the key words in the original text is available in an English version of the Bible."
After the Foreword is a page explaining the use of italics, parentheses, brackets and dashes in the edition. Italic type is used for "certain familiar passages now recognized as not adequately supported by the original manuscripts," 2 and the conjunctions "and" and "or" are also italicized when the words that follow are to be understood as explanatory or alternative renderings of the preceding words. Parentheses and dashes mark off "additional phases of meaning included in the original word, phrase, or clause of the original language," and square brackets "contain justified clarifying words or comments not actually expressed in the immediate original text."
We will examine now a representative passage from the 1965 edition of the Amplified Bible, Romans chapter 1.
1 FROM Paul, a bond servant of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, called to be an apostle, (a special messenger) set apart to [preach] the Gospel (good news) of and from God,
2 Which He promised in advance [long ago] through His prophets in the sacred Scriptures,
3 [The Gospel] regarding His Son, Who as to the flesh (His human nature) was descended from David;
4 And [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness, was openly designated the Son of God in power — in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner — by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord, the Messiah, the Anointed One.
5 It is through Him that we have received grace — God's unmerited favor — and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name's sake among all the nations,
6 And this includes yourselves, called of Jesus Christ and invited [as you are] to belong to Him.
7 To [you then,] all God's beloved ones in Rome, called to be saints and designated for a consecrated life: Grace and spiritual blessing and peace be yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because [the report of] your faith is made known to all the world and is a commended everywhere.
9 For God is my witness, Whom I serve with [all] my spirit — rendering priestly and spiritual service — in [preaching] the Gospel and telling the good news of His Son, how incessantly I always mention you when at my prayers.
10 I keep pleading that somehow by God's will I may now at last be prospered and come to you.
11 For I am yearning to see you, that I may impart and share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen and establish you;
12 That is, that we may be mutually strengthened and encouraged and comforted by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
13 I want you to know, brethren, that many times I have planned and intended to come to you, though thus far I have been hindered and prevented, in order that I might have some fruit — some result of my labors — among you, as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.
14 Both to Greeks and to barbarians (to the cultured and to the uncultured), both to the wise and the foolish I have an obligation to discharge and a duty to perform and a debt to pay.
15 So, for my part, I am willing and eagerly ready to preach the Gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God's power working unto salvation (for deliverance from eternal death) to every one who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek,
17 For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith — disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and b shall live by faith. [Hab. 2:4.]
18 For God's [holy] wrath and indignation are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative.
19 For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God [Himself] has shown it to them.
20 For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made — His handiworks. So [men] are without excuse — altogether without any defense or justification; [Ps. 19:1-4.]
21 Because when they knew and recognized Him as the God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God, or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and c godless in their thinking — with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations — and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools — professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves.
23 And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, abandoning them to the degrading power of sin.
25 Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen — so be it. [Jer. 2:11.]
26 For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,
27 And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burned out, consumed) with lust for one another, men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own d bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.
28 And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome,
29 Until they were filled — permeated and saturated — with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, [and] malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers,
30 Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance [and] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents.
31 [They were] without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless [and] merciless.
32 Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them.

In the first verse of this chapter we see that the amplifications include a synonym for "Christ" (Messiah), and explanatory glosses for the words "apostle" (a special messenger) and "Gospel" (good news). In the final clause of this verse an expanded rendering also indicates that the words evangelion theou in the original text may be understood "Gospel of God" and "Gospel from God." In verse 3, a parenthetical insertion explains that "the flesh" in this context means "human nature." In verse 4 we find clarifying words in brackets, explaining that "according to the Spirit of holiness" should probably be understood as a reference to Christ's "divine nature," and inserted within dashes the words "in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner" offer an interpretation of the preceding phrase, "in power." At the end of the verse "Christ" is again glossed as meaning "the Messiah, the Anointed One." Thus far the amplifications prove to be good and helpful.
In verse 5 we encounter some questionable exegesis. The word "grace" is explained as denoting "God's unmerited favor," but it is more likely to denote a spiritual endowment here. The words "to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples" represent a rather clumsy double interpretation of eis hupakone pisteos, lit. "for the obedience of faith," in which the first interpretation, "obedience to the faith," seems unwarranted. In verse 6 the clause "and invited [as you are] to belong to Him" adds far too much to kletoi Iesou Chistou "called of Jesus Christ" to be presented as an alternative rendering of the phrase, and we notice that the "call" of God is here interpreted as a mere invitation.
In verse 7, "designated for a consecrated life" is a good explanation for the word hagiois "saints," and "spiritual blessing" correctly explains the meaning of "grace." In verse 8, "is made known ... and is commended" correctly interprets katangellitai (lit. "proclaimed") in this context. In verse 9, "rendering priestly and spiritual service" brings out the special religious meaning of the Greek word latreuo, "serve."
Skipping down to verse 16 we find there an example of the version's use of italics to indicate some doubt as to the originality of some words: the phrase of Christ is italicized because it does not occur here in some of the oldest manuscripts. Also in verse 16 we note that the words "salvation" and "faith" receive good definitions, "salvation" being explained as "deliverance from eternal death," and "faith" as "personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance." In verse 17 the editors venture to explain the "righteousness of God" as "a righteousness which God ascribes," which may not be the right interpretation here, and the phrase "from faith to faith" is paraphrastically expanded to "both springing from faith and leading to faith" or "disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith." These interpretations are possible, but others might also have been given, and reader should be told that the precise meaning intended by Paul is uncertain. In verse 23 we doubt that the phrase "and represented by" can be justified on linguistic grounds.
In general, the expanded renderings found in this chapter are helpful. But as we have noted, in a few places they are paraphrastic and rather questionable. Some other questionable amplifications which we noticed in the New Testament are these:
In Matthew 1:21 we find "He will save His people from their sins [that is, prevent their failing and missing the true end and scope of life, which is God]." The interpretation given in brackets here depends upon the idea so often repeated in sermons, that the word for "sin" in the Greek "literally" means "to miss the mark" (in archery), and so the Biblical teaching about "sin" basically has something to do with "missing the mark." But this amounts to an etymological fallacy. It is true that in Classical Greek the verb hamartano was used in that particular sense, but it is not true that this sense of the word reveals anything about the meaning of hamartano or hamartia in the New Testament. As W.E. Vine says in his Expository Dictionary, "this etymological meaning is largely lost sight of in the New Testament." 3 In the Bible "sin" denotes a turning away from God, a disobedient and corrupt state of mind, manifesting itself in attitudes and behaviors that are much more blameworthy than a mere failure to achieve one's goals.
In Matthew 2:18 the Amplified Bible reads "[Tenderly] take unto you the young Child ..." And likewise "Tenderly" is inserted with brackets in verses 20 and 21. A footnote here attributes the rendering to Charles B. Williams' New Testament in the Language of the People. But the words of the Greek text here do not include anything corresponding to "tenderly," and we have to wonder why anyone should have thought that the addition of this word was helpful or desirable.
Matthew 3:11 reads, "I indeed baptize you in (with) water because of repentance — that is, because of your changing your minds for the better, heartily amending your ways with abhorrence of your past sins." Here we have a good definition of "repentance" worked into the text, but the problem is the translation of the preposition eis as "because of." The idea that eis is used in a causal sense here, and in some other places of the New Testament (e.g. Acts 2:38), is a very controversial one, and most scholars do not accept it. The preposition eis ordinarily expresses movement into, or toward something, or, by extension, a mental purpose, "with a view to," "for," etc. So the more commonly accepted explanation of "I baptize you unto (eis) repentance" is that John's Baptism was intended to symbolize and thus promote an attitude of repentance. Its was a baptism for repentance (RSV, NASB, NIV, ESV).
In Luke 7:47 we read, "Therefore I tell you, her sins, many [as they are], are forgiven her, because she has loved much." The problem here is the translation of the conjunction ὅτι in the phrase ὅτι ἠγάπησεν πολύ (for she loved much) as "because," without an explanation. This will give readers the impression that Christ is saying that the woman's love is the basis of her pardon, but the whole context of verses 36-50 demands a different understanding the conjunction. As Thayer says, ὅτι introduces "the reason why anything is said" and "it is added to a speaker's words to show what ground he gives for his opinion." And Godet explains that ὅτι "frequently expresses, just as our for does, not the relation of the effect to its cause, but the relation (purely logical) of the proof to the thing proved. We may say, It is light, for the sun is risen; but we may also say, The sun is risen, for [I say this because] it is light. So in this passage the ὅτι ... must mean: 'I say unto thee that her many sins are forgiven, as thou must infer from this, that she loved much.'" 4 This is surely a place where an "amplification" like Godet's was necessary to bring out the true meaning.
Romans 3:23 in the Amplified Bible is disappointing. It reads, "Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives." The "are falling short" is an unusual attempt to express the present tense of ὑστεροῦνται, but there is no alternative rendering "they lack" or "are deprived," according to the interpretations in the Vulgate, Luther's German version, Calvin's commentary, the Geneva Bible, the commentaries of Godet and Meyer, the REB and NAB versions, etc. And if the present tense of ὑστεροῦνται was thought to be interesting enough to justify the awkward "are falling short," why not also indicate the aorist tense of ἥμαρτον by rendering it "sinned" instead of "have sinned"? This seems more interesting from an exegetical standpoint, because it suggests a connection with the sin of Adam (see 5:12, where πάντες ἥμαρτον is translated "all men sinned").
In Acts 8:33 we find several questionable "amplifications."
In His humiliation He was taken away by distressing and oppressive judgment, and justice was denied Him (caused to cease). Who can describe or relate in full the wickedness of His contemporaries (generation)? For His life is taken from the earth and a bloody death inflicted upon Him. [Isa. 53:7, 8.]
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.
Although the treatment of Christ foretold in this quotation from the Septuagint was certainly unfair, there is not in the Greek text here any basis for modifying "judgment" with "distressing and oppressive." The sentence "Who can describe or relate in full the wickedness of His contemporaries (generation)?" is offered as an interpretation of "who can declare (describe) his genea (race, progeny, generation)," but this may not be the intended meaning at all. We also see nothing in the Greek corresponding to the final clause, "and a bloody death inflicted upon Him." Again, we do not wish to deny that Christ was treated unfairly by wicked men, and suffered a bloody death. All these things are true. But they are not expressed in the Greek words of this verse, and they should not have been presented as "clarifying shades of meaning that may be concealed by the traditional word-for-word method of translation."
In short, we would warn readers of the Amplified Bible that the "amplifications" in the version are sometimes merely paraphrastic expansions, unreliable, and somewhat arbitrarily inserted. They also sometimes fail to indicate important alternative renderings.
Turning to the Old Testament, we find that it is much less "amplified" than the New Testament. Sometimes as many as a dozen verses go by without any expanded rendering, and some of the key words which we would expect to receive amplification do not receive any such attention. For example, the Hebrew word chesed, usually translated "kindness" in the KJV, carries an important connotation of covenant loyalty, or family duty, which is often hard to express in translation. This is the sort of word we would expect the Amplified Bible to explain more adequately than other versions. But in most places it is rendered simply "mercy" or "kindness," as in the KJV.
The influence of the Revised Standard Version is quite obvious in the Old Testament of the Amplified Bible. There are hundreds of verses which reproduce the RSV renderings exactly. In some cases even the RSV renderings based upon conjectural emendations are reproduced, as in Genesis 10:4, where the Amplified Bible includes the RSV's insertion "These are the sons of Japheth." One gets the impression that the RSV was one of Mrs. Siewert's main resources in creating this version. (But the RSV is not followed uncritically. For example, in Genesis 9:20 the RSV had "Noah was the first tiller of the soil," but the Amplified Bible "Noah began to cultivate the ground.") In a few places where the RSV rendering is based upon an emended Hebrew text, she presents it as an "amplified" rendering. For example, in Jeremiah 23:33 the RSV's "you are the burden" is worked into the text thus:
And when this people, or the prophets, or a priest shall ask you, What is the burden of the Lord—the saying to be lifted up now? Then you shall say to them, What burden, indeed!—You are the burden! And I will disburden Myself of you and I will cast you off, says the Lord.
In many other places we find a similar conflation of alternative renderings of the Hebrew. For example, in Isaiah 21:5.
ASV RSV Amplified
They prepare the table, they set the watch, they eat, they drink. They prepare the table, they spread the rugs, they eat, they drink. They prepare the table, they spread the rugs, and having set the watchers [the revellers take no other precaution], they eat, they drink.
The Hebrew does not mention both "rugs" and "watchers" in this verse, as one might suppose from the Amplified Bible; rather, it has a phrase (tsaphoh hatsaphith) of uncertain meaning, which might be understood either "spread the rugs" (RSV), or "set the watch" (ASV). Mrs. Siewert has combined the interpretations, without indicating that it must be one or the other, but not both.
The Amplified Bible was revised again in 1987, by anonymous editors; but the changes in this last revision were very few and minor. The main difference seems to be a systematic replacement of the dashes with square brackets.
1. The page giving information on Mrs. Siewert at the website of the Lockman Foundation also attributes to her a Doctorate (Litt. D.), but this was not an earned degree; it was an honorary degree given to her by Wheaton College in 1961. Another degree attributed to her is the Bachelor of Divinity, obtained from the short-lived "Schuylkill Seminary (to which the credits had been transferred to make the graduation of a woman possible." The page does not say when or where she actually earned the credits, or why she transferred them to obtain a minister's credential.
2. The Story of the Adulteress, as it appears in the Received Text of John 7:53-8:11, should be italicized as one of the "familiar passages now recognized as not adequately supported by the original manuscripts," but it is not. A footnote here says, "John 7:53 to 8:11 is not found in the older manuscripts, but it sounds so like Christ that we accept it as authentic, and feel that to omit it would be most unfortunate." But this does not explain why it was not italicized. Some other portions which are italicized (e.g. Matt. 16:3, 17:21; 18:11; 21:44; 23:14) sound just as much "like Christ," and have better manuscript support than this one. The treatment of John 7:53-8:11 is inconsistent with the principle employed in all the other cases.
3. The sense "miss the mark" should be seen not as a basic sense but as a specialized and rarely used sense (perhaps archaic) which has little to do with the common sense of the word. Some have thought that this sense is intended in Romans 3:23 (Girdlestone: "the sinner is one who has missed or come short of the mark") mainly because of the collocation with the passive of ὑστερέω, which might be understood in the sense "fall short." But I think ὑστεροῦνται probably means "they are deprived" here, rather than "they fall short," and I doubt very much that Paul had any archery metaphor in mind. See my remarks on Romans 3:23.
4. A Commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke, by F. Godet ... translated from the second French edition by E.W. Shalders and M.D. Cusin, 3rd ed. (New York: Funk & Wagnalls, 1894), p. 230. The same interpretation is given in nearly all commentaries. The Revised English Bible even translates "I tell you, her great love proves that her many sins have been forgiven." The New Revised Standard Version's "hence she has shown great love" is designed to prevent misunderstanding of the phrase, but it cannot be accepted as an accurate translation, because ὅτι does not have a consecutive sense (contra the BAGD lexicon, p. 589). The interpretation of this phrase has some importance in the history of theology. Formerly, most Roman Catholic interpreters asserted that "because she loved much" proved that love, in addition to faith and repentance, was the basis of forgiveness. And so we find in the Saint Joseph Edition of the Confraternity Version (New York: Catholic Book Publishing Co., 1963) the translation "her sins, many as they are, shall be forgiven her, because she has loved much," and a note saying, "The parable appears at first sight to imply that the woman loved much because of the greatness of the sin remitted; but our Lord's words at the end indicate rather that her love was the cause of her pardon." More recently, however, the opinion of Catholic scholars is represented by the Jerusalem Bible (1966), which translates, "For this reason I tell you that her sins, her many sins, must have been forgiven her, or she would not have shown such great love," with the note: "Not, as usually translated, 'her many sins are forgiven her because she has shown such great love.' The context demands the reverse: she shows so much affection because she has had so many sins forgiven." The traditional Catholic teachings, that true faith and forgiveness require repentance, and that love toward God is essential to repentance, are substantially true. But these teachings are not expressed by the phrase in Luke 7:47. One should not argue "the right doctrine from the wrong text."

Music at work increases cooperation, teamwork
by Cornell University
Cornell University researchers found that music can have important effects on the cooperative spirits of those exposed to music. Credit: Cornell University
From casual acoustic melodies at the coffee shop to throbbing electronic beats at teen clothing outlets, music is used to mold customer experience and behavior. But what impact does it have on employees?
Cornell University researchers explored this question in a pair of lab experiments and found that music can have important effects on the cooperative spirits of those exposed to music.
In the paper newly published by the Journal of Organizational Behavior, Cornell researchers Kevin Kniffin, Jubo Yan, Brian Wansink and William Schulze describe two studies they conducted to test the effect of different types of music on the cooperative behavior of individuals working as a team.
For each study, participants were grouped into teams of three. Each team member was given multiple opportunities to either contribute to the team's value using tokens or keep the tokens for personal use.
When happy, upbeat music was played - researchers chose the "Happy Days" theme song, "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison, "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles and "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves - team members were more likely to contribute to the group's value. When music deemed unpleasant was played - in this case, heavy metal songs by less than well-known bands - participants were more likely to keep tokens for themselves. The researchers found contribution levels to the public good when happy, upbeat songs were played were approximately one-third higher compared to the less pleasant music.
When researchers conducted a second experiment testing how people react when no music is played, the results were the same. The researchers conclude that happy music provokes people to more often make decisions that contribute to the good of the team.
"Music is a pervasive part of much of our daily lives, whether we consciously notice it or not," said Kniffin, a behavioral scientist at Cornell and lead author on the paper. "Music might melt into the background in places like supermarkets or gyms and other times it's very prominent like places of worship or presidential nominating conventions. Our results show that people seem more likely to get into sync with each other if they're listening to music that has a steady beat to it."
Wansink, director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, added: "What's great about these findings, other than having a scientific reason to blast tunes at work, is that happy music has the power to make the workplace more cooperative and supportive overall."
The researchers suggest managers consider not only the customer experience but also workers' when picking the day's music. Starting the day with this simple consideration in mind could result in happier employees and more teamwork.
"Lots of employers spend significant sums of time and money on off-site teambuilding exercises to build cooperation among employees. Our research points to the office sound system as a channel that has been underappreciated as a way to inspire cooperation among co-workers," said Kniffin.

Lion Surprises Photographer With Scary Roar, Then Winks And Smiles At Him
A wildlife photographer got the 'shock of his life' when he came a little too close to a lion before it let out a huge roar and flashed him a cheeky smile in Kenya.Gren Sowerby, 69, is living the dream, taking pictures of animals, landscapes, and people all around the world.He leaned in and got close to the big cat when it suddenly flashed its pearly whites and let out a massive roar on a safari in Maasai Mara, Kenya.
While he was initially startled, he continued to snap pictures of the ferocious animal and was left astonished when it gave him a smile.These stunning photos recently went viral, and it's no surprise why!"He roared to say: 'I'm the King of the Jungle' and then I couldn't believe it when he smiled at me like when someone winks at you to say like: 'Haha!'"
"I was probably 10-15 meters away and he was with a lioness, she was crossing a stream. They had a kill in the bushes and I think he let out a roar probably to say that he was full!" said Sowerby.
"I was taken aback by the sheer size and scale of him. From him being very still and quiet then for him to let out a big boom was quite something."
Sowerby has been a photographer for over 37 years!
He said 'The King of the Jungle' is 'always something you've got to capture' and is overjoyed that he managed to get the shot.
The photographer, from Whitley Bay in Northumberland, said he was 'really happy with the photos' and had only looked at them properly once he got home.
'I regularly go on these safaris and really enjoy photographing wildlife. They have grown up around the safari so they're used to cars and tourists.'

Virtual court proceedings to continue in NJ post-pandemic
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Virtual court proceedings will continue to be a feature of New Jersey's judicial landscape after the pandemic subsides.
The state Supreme Court issued an order Thursday noting that, although bringing parties together is important in many cases, virtual proceedings have reduced time and costs and have created fewer scheduling conflicts.
More than 250,000 court proceedings have been held virtually since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. In-person criminal trials were suspended for several months and resumed on a limited basis last fall.
Thursday's order "contemplates a transition from almost all in-person court proceedings before the pandemic to a future that uses technology to provide expanded options for access, participation, timeliness, and justice," the Supreme Court wrote.
Criminal jury trials, evidence hearings and sentencings will proceed in person, as will trials held in front of a judge but no jury — called bench trials — unless all parties consent to conducting them virtually. Oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court and appellate division also will generally be held in person.
Proceedings such as motion hearings and status conferences, first appearances of defendants already in custody and most municipal hearings and trials will be conducted virtually, according to the order.

It's amazing the change a week can make.
One week, I'm Miss Clean-it and my house is all immaculate and sparkling from this sudden burst of Fly Lady or something. But I'm scrubbing bathroom commodes as if my life depended on it and I'm polishing down kitchen cabinets and mopping that kitchen floor for all I'm worth. And everything has been reorganized (well, maybe not everything, but I try!) and I can't handle a thing getting out of place. At the end of the week, I feel on top of the world. I have this house under control! I am the Queen of clean! I feel amazing and I know next week with be wonderful.
The very next week I'm on a baking spree. Yep. Miss Cook-it, or Miss Bake-it. I've read something or other and it's created some insatiable appetite for some delectable goodies. Food in the freezer, whatever... and I'm on to it. I cook and bake and make all sorts of amazing delights. There's cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls and bread in the freezer, cookies made, casseroles whipped up, cookbooks searched diligently for just the right recipe to make next. Oh it feels so good! Hubby is delighted, but then tells me by the end of the week that he "feels fat." I think I made too many yummies. Ha!
On to the next week. I have a gardening streak. I must plants flowers, weed gardens, water and fertilize. I work outside and everything looks just as good as I can get it on my own. I crave the outside and I'm out in the sun as much as possible. We do school outside. We eat lunch outside. We play in the pool outback (well, the kids play, I sit and suntan/referee... ha!) And intermittently I sprint through my household chores and try to keep everything ship shape, food on the table and everyone happy. At week's end it's been a good week. I've worked hard and I am satisfied.
And let's not even go into the week's where I'm so lonely I could cry and the very next week where I decide that's just got to change and I schedule meet-ups with other moms and then I'm so happy I'm chirping around the house as happy as a lark. Or the week's where I feel like an absolute failure as a mom, but a week later I feel like I'm so "on top of things." Or how about that week when you finally feel like you've got that home routine down pat and everything is flowing and ebbing evenly through the day, kids are getting along, schoolwork, housework, cooking, everything is all being accomplished in the SAME week (can I hear an Amen?) and then the next week.... what happens? The kids get sick, and everything just sort of turns upside down and it takes 2 weeks to get it back to somewhat of where it was before?

Q: ServiceStack.MsgPack+DateTimeOffset 'Stream Unexpectedly Ends' I've been trying to convert our service stack app host and client to use MsgPack serialization. I kept getting the exception
MsgPack.InvalidMessagePackStreamException Stream Unexpectedly Ends

After some investigation I've tracked it down to DateTimeOffset field in the response object.
Client Code
using System;

namespace Client
{
    using Server;

    using ServiceStack.MsgPack;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var client = new MsgPackServiceClient("http://localhost:1337");

            var response = client.Get(new GetRequest());

            Console.WriteLine("Response: [{0}] {1}", response.Timestamp, response.Result);

            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

Server Code
using System;

namespace Server
{
    using System.Reflection;

    using ServiceStack;
    using ServiceStack.MsgPack;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var listeningOn = args.Length == 0 ? "http://localhost:1337/" : args[0];
            using (var appHost = new AppHost("Test", Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(GetService))))
            {
                appHost.Init()
                    .Start(listeningOn);

                Console.WriteLine("AppHost Created at {0}, listening on {1}", DateTime.Now, listeningOn);

                Console.ReadKey();
            }
        }
    }

    public class AppHost : AppHostHttpListenerBase
    {
        public AppHost(string serviceName, params Assembly[] assembliesWithServices)
            : base(serviceName, assembliesWithServices)
        {
        }

        public override void Configure(Funq.Container container)
        {
            Plugins.Add(new MsgPackFormat());
        }
    }

    [Route("/GetRequest", Verbs = "GET")]
    public class GetRequest : IReturn<GetResponse> { }

    public class GetResponse
    {
        public string Result { get; set; }

        public string Timestamp { get; set; }
        //public DateTimeOffset Timestamp { get; set; }
    }

    public class GetService : Service
    {
        public GetResponse Get(GetRequest request)
        {
            return new GetResponse { Result = "Success", Timestamp = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToString() };
            //return new GetResponse { Result = "Success", Timestamp = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow };
        }
    }
}

The example works without DateTimeOffset but fails with the exception when its included.
The MessagePackSerializer class appears to work as expected as demonstrated by the following test.
public static void SerializeTest()
{
    var response = new GetResponse { Result = "Success", Timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow };
    var serializer = MessagePackSerializer.Get<GetResponse>();

    var asSingleObject = serializer.PackSingleObject(response);
    var fromSingleObject = serializer.UnpackSingleObject(asSingleObject);

    var packStream = new MemoryStream();
    serializer.Pack(packStream, response);

    packStream.Position = 0;
    var fromPackStream = serializer.Unpack(packStream);

    packStream.Position = 0;
    serializer.PackTo(Packer.Create(packStream), response);

    packStream.Position = 0;
    var fromPacker = serializer.Unpack(packStream);
}

In each case the response is packed\unpacked correctly with DateTimeOffset property.
I've tried custom serializer for DateTimeOffset but that fails the same way.
MsgPack.Cli 0.5.7
ServiceStack 4.0.35

All Hail Lyle Lovett
April 28, 2021 by DickH Posted in Culture 2 Comments
This post by Paul Marion first ran on August 14, 2010, and is repeated here for this year's Music Week on the blog:
By Paul Marion
(Aug 14, 2010)
At one point in his performance at Boarding House Park as part of The Lowell Summer Music Series, Lyle Lovett had fifteen musicians and singers on stage. I never once thought of Lawrence Welk. I had never seen/heard Lyle Lovett in concert. What was I missing? What I was missing!
Where to begin? Wow. Double-wow. The twin dynamos of BHP, Peter Aucella and John Marciano, keep out-doing themselves. For shows in recent years, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band ranks with the appearance of Joan Baez under the French Street pergola for sheer musicianship and performance power. For energy and lift and proliferation of fun, the edge goes to Lyle.
The Sun this week reported that his troupe has played in Boston and on Cape Cod, but I can't believe those shows were better than the one last night. The recording gods should have been at their machines because a live album/cd/download of the show last night in Lowell would be a mega-hit.
The band played for more than two hours after a catchy opening set by song-stylist Kat Edmonson, whose voice wraps around standards like "Summertime" as if culturally engineered for them. I can't remember the names of the players in the "Large Band" or the four fabulous older guys singing on the side, but each of them deserves to have his name etched into the steel of the performance pavilion for history's sake.
Kat and Lyle (not in Lowell), courtesy of YouTube
People will talk about this concert for years, maybe decades. The temperature was perfect. A searchlight swept the sky for added glamour. Am I too enthusiastic? Sitting there with my wife and some close friends, I was dual-tracking in my head, savoring every well-played note and beautifully sung word while trying to put what was going on in experiential context. Like the labels on science displays in the Exploratorium in San Francisco that ask "What's going on here?"—I was thinking, This is the essence of art-induced joy. This is why people say they "love" music, and it is not too strong a word.
How many people attended the show? More than 2,000 probably. And there were moments when the artists and audience bonded in pleasure that explain why people have been beating on drums and plucking strings and trying to make harmonious sounds together for six million years or so.
The show was a tour of American music, from rock and roll to jazz, from country and gospel to the pop songbook, from alt-country to blues and swing and the other variations. We witnessed a unit at its peak. When the lights came back on at the end of the show the grounds buzzed and bubbled with chatter as people folded up blankets and chairs and moved toward the exits. To the organizers and sponsors: "Well done, well done." To the band-leader and the band: "Forget Cape Cod. Come back to Lowell next summer."

"Art-enduced joy" indeed! Love Lyle.
Aching for Boarding House Park concerts to resume.
SO many unforgettable memories there.
David Daniel says: April 29, 2021 at 8:23 am
Thanks for the ride down Memory Lane. What's sweeter than a night under the stars at Boarding House Park! T'would be nice for the Lovett band to come back.
And speaking of special requests, this note just in:
"Lyle, come back! I miss you! I was wrong!"
–Love, Julia.

The aim of the article is to present a type of music not so popular in Bulgaria, called "sung poetry", created by independent singer-songwriters. In particular, it focuses on the songs of the Tochka BG acoustic music band. The band has gained some popularity and is now one of the best-known bands that are representative of the "sung poetry" genre, combining poetical text (every text can be interpreted as a separate poem, without its musical background) with peaceful music. Some of their songs are very strongly based on Biblical texts, or on Christian mentality. This article analyses examples of such songs focusing on both the text and its meaning.
