Wednesday Bible Study: Design specifications
Chapter 3 basically lays out the design of the Temple. It ' s generally consistent with the description in 1 Kings 6, but is not copied from it. Some different details are mentioned and the organization and language are different, so there must have been another description of the Temple that the Chronicler relied on. 1 Kings also has an interlude in which God tells Solomon he ' ll stick with the people if they follow his commandments, which is omitted here. Other than that, nothing interesting to say about this. Since the Temple certainly existed, there ' s nothing odd about two different people describing it.3 Then ...

Sunday Sermonette: Xerox machine
2 Chronicles 2 is the same story as 1 Kings 5. There are some slight differences in language, which simply suggests that the chronicler was working from a different manuscript than the one that became canonized. (The title of this post is intended to be ironic because the point is, there weren ' t any copying machines, only human scribes whose copying was imprecise, whether accidentally or on purpose.) As usual, the numbers are ridiculous. The Tanakh seems to multiply everything by 10, approximately.2 [a]Solomon gave orders to build a temple for the Name of theLord and a royal palace for himself.2 He conscripted ...

The garden moths of 2020
With Covid-19 lockdown hitting some people very hard, it seems churlish to complain about its effects on me. It felt hard – no pub visits with friends, no limited time outdoors and so not much chance for nature photography and long walks with the dog, no rehearsing with C5 The Band nor the bigMouth choir, no panto to plan for etc, like I say, relatively easy, but still hard. Dark Crimson Underwing As such, I was really hoping for an exciting moth year to keep me sane, and I have had some crackers, but numbers and diversity seem to have been low…all I’ve really seen for the last couple of weeks are quite a...

Life on Athens and Kythira
A trip to the Greek capital Athens and the island of Kythira yielded some good times, lovely views, lots of laughs with new(ish) friends, and sightings of quite a few species of bird, invertebrates and plantlife we’d not all “ticked” before. Here are a few snaps of the various species: Scarce Swallowtail Marginated Tortoise Dark Bush Cricket, Pholidoptera griseoaptera Striped Shieldbug, Graphosoma lineatum Egyptian Grasshopper, Anacridium aegyptium with its striped eyes on mullein Lesser Kestrel, Falco naumanni Grayling on Sea Squill Blue-winged-Grasshopper, Oedipoda caerulescens European Skipper, Thymeli...

Importance Of Consumer Health Trackers To Healthcare To Jump Over Next Few Years
Over the last several years, consumer uptake of retail health trackers has climbed substantially, but their use by professionals in healthcare delivery has lagged behind.

What Spirits Are Safe?
Spirits are a mixed bag, but you are likely to find at least several that you can enjoy without provoking health problems. Beware of flavored varieties of vodka or rum, as they are loaded with sugar and/or high-fructose corn syrup. In general, simple unflavored spirits are safest. Here’s a short list to help you navigate through your holiday cocktail parties and toasts without exposing yourself to the harmful effects of grains. Vodkas brewed from nongrain sources, including Chopin (potatoes; outside of North America you will have to ask or examine the bottle for the source as there are also wheat and rye vodkas from ...
