Man was arrested after being found naked in the 1100 block of South 25th Street Friday evening.
Correction: This article has been updated to show the correct day of the arrest.
MANITOWOC - Police officers arrested a 32-year-old Manitowoc man Friday evening for standing in the street without any clothes on. In the process, they accidentally set him on fire.
Officers found Travis L. Tingler in the 1100 block of South 25th Street near Hamilton Street, where he was shouting toward a home at the intersection that he had a knife and was going to gut people in the house.
Tingler told officers he wasn't doing anything wrong, according to a Manitowoc Police Department report.
The officer suspected Tingler, who said other people were messing with him and he was calling them out, was impaired by drugs. He told the officer he could be out on the street with no clothes on, and that he didn't have a weapon.
Tingler said he wanted to go to a home on 25th Street. Police instead handcuffed him and, finding a pair of pants on the front lawn, tried to put them on Tingler.
Officers later found a pocket knife on the front porch of a nearby home in the 1100 block of 25th Street, along with coins and several cigarette butts.
He threw the glass he had been drinking from into the street, breaking it, and took off his clothes and threw them onto the front porch, the girl told police.
Tingler refused to get into a squad car and said he wanted to see his kids. The mother came home from work, and police used stun guns to get the man into the police car.
Police reported Tingler somehow picked up a lighter during the struggle, and when the stun gun probe hit the lighter, a combination of lighter fluid and electricity from the stun gun caused Tingler's beard and chest hair to catch fire.
An officer tried to pat the fire off his body, and Tingler continued to fight even after the fire was put out. He then punched an officer in the face. An officer used a stun gun on him from about 6 feet away, and he then fell and hit his head hard on the pavement.
Officers called an ambulance. Hospital staff said Tingler tested positive for marijuana and had a blood-alcohol count of 0.177.
Police are recommending charges of resisting a police officer, battery to an officer, disorderly conduct, and lewd and lascivious behavior.

The opening ceremony of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games took place on the afternoon of Saturday, July 28, in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles. As mandated by the Olympic Charter, the proceedings combined the formal ceremonial opening of this international sporting event (including welcoming speeches, hoisting of the flags and the parade of athletes) with an artistic spectacle to showcase the host nation's culture. The 1984 Games were formally opened by President of the United States Ronald Reagan. The event was conducted in front of 92,516 attendants. The ceremony was a $5 million production, titled Music of America.

Officials and guests
Seated in the press box were President of the United States Ronald Reagan and First Lady of the United States Nancy Reagan. International guests included President of the International Olympic Committee Juan Antonio Samaranch, Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg and the Prince of Wales (now Charles III). Various celebrities were in attendance, including Linda Evans, Bob Hope, Steven Spielberg, Gene Kelly and Brooke Shields.

Proceedings

Countdown
A countdown clock at the screen from 60 to 1 was used in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to announce the commencement of the ceremony. Roman Catholic church bells and largest cannons rang all around the city to announce the start of 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games.

Welcome
The official ceremony started with the first segment, "Welcome", a song written by Marvin Hamlisch and Dean Pitchford. Over 1,000 volunteers held large, five-foot balloons, each with a ribbon banner attached with the word "Welcome" written in over 100 languages. Bill Suitor flew from the peristyle to the track on the south end via a Bell Aerosystems rocket pack (also known as a jet pack). The performers formed the word "Welcome" on the field, skywriters typed the word "Welcome" in the sky and various volunteers passed out flowers in the aisles to the crowd.

After the song, the balloons were released into the air and dignitaries were introduced, namely IOC president Samaranch and President Reagan. "Hail to the Chief" was played to introduce President Reagan, followed by the U.S. national anthem and "Fanfare for the Common Man" by Aaron Copland.

Artistic program

Music of America
Los Angeles produced an artistic interpretation of the American lifestyle and music called Music of America.

The first sequence opened with American Suite, performed by an 800-member marching band consisting primarily of members from colleges in the Los Angeles area. However, there was also at least one member from every U.S. state. They performed American style marching sequences and marching precision.

The second segment, Pioneer Spirit, depicted the American west at the turn of the 20th century. It consisted of a 410-member ballet group performing a hoedown dance sequence with various props, including wagons and old west towns.

The third segment, Dixieland Jamboree, depicted a traditional southern U.S. gospel choir featuring 300 members singing "When the Saints Go Marching In", led by Etta James.

The fourth segment, Urban Rhapsody, featured George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". 84 grand pianos appeared from the Coliseum's peristyles, followed by the orchestra and over 200 dancers.

The fifth segment, The World Stage, consisted of a 1940s big band orchestra medley, featuring songs mostly from Broadway, movies and popular music. Among the songs heard in this segment were "Sing, Sing, Sing", "Steppin' Out with My Baby" (from Easter Parade), "One" (from A Chorus Line), the theme from Fame, and the Michael Jackson hit "Beat It". Joining the orchestra were 1,500 dancers.

The sixth and final segment ended with the entire cast dancing and forming the outlined map of the United States to the strains of "America the Beautiful".

Flags of the world
Each seat in the Coliseum had a card placed underneath. At the count of three, each attendant flipped the card skyward and the crowd produced a card stunt, displaying the flags of all participating nations.

Parade of Nations

John Williams performed his dedicated theme to the games, "Olympic Fanfare and Theme". Volunteer performers entered the stadium, marching with white Olympic flags. They formed the 1984 Olympic logo, as well as the "Stars in Motion" outline on the field.

The Antwerp flag was then presented to Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, as Bradley had not been present at the closing ceremonies of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow four years earlier.

The parade of 140 National Olympic Committees began with Greece, as per tradition.
Speeches were then made by Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee president Peter Ueberroth and IOC president Samaranch. For the first time, a sitting U.S. president opened the games in person, as President Reagan declared the competition officially open.

The Olympic flag entered the stadium, and an instrumental version of the Olympic Hymn was played. Afterward, homing pigeons were released.

The cauldron
The same cauldron from the 1932 Summer Olympics (also held in Los Angeles) was used. The orchestra played The Olympian, composed and conducted by Philip Glass. The torch entered the stadium carried by Gina Hemphill, granddaughter of U.S. Olympian Jesse Owens, who circled the track then handed the torch to 1960 Olympic decathlon gold medalist Rafer Johnson, who completed the torch relay as mechanical steps rose from the center of the peristyles. Johnson climbed the stairs and faced the crowd as The Olympian was still being played, then lit the gas powered Olympic rings that connect with the Olympic cauldron, amidst cheers from the crowd. The athletes' and judges' oaths were taken and a children's chorus performed Ludwig van Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".

Finale
Local teacher Vicki McClure led the crowd in a performance of the Diana Ross song "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)". All attendees were requested to sing along, as the words were displayed on the screens surrounding the stadium. All the volunteers, athletes, and audience members, as well as cast members dressed in traditional native dress from all over the world, joined in. On the big screens, various children in Japan, Australia, Africa and Latin America joined hands, singing along to the song, and a large fireworks finale followed.

Anthems
 National Anthem of the United States
 Olympic Hymn

TV coverage
The ABC network was the official broadcaster of the games in the U.S. and feeder to other networks outside the U.S. Peter Jennings and Jim McKay were the announcers in the U.S., marking McKay's 10th broadcast.

Awards and accolades
The broadcast was awarded the Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sports Special.

Legacy
The 1984 opening ceremony was the first to present the "artistic" segment before the "ceremonial" portion of the events, with this order having been followed ever since. The ceremony was also the first time a person of African descent lit the Olympic cauldron.

Star talent is only part of it.
What makes Apple, Netflix, Google and Dell 40 percent more productive than other companies? Inspiring leaders, trust and teamwork, according to this Fast Company article.
Citing research from Bain & Company, writer Stephanie Vozza dispels the myth that high-performing companies do well simply because they attract employees who are "naturally gifted at productivity." Bain & Company partner Michael Mankins, who studied the companies to find out how they stay at the top, told Vozza that productive companies have roughly the same percentage of "star players" as less productive competitors. The difference? Leading companies are more strategic about where they place those employees, putting them in positions that are "business critical" and high value for the company's goals.
Industrious companies also value teamwork, Mankins told Vozza, and are savvy about which projects need an all star-heavy team to succeed. Mankins presents Apple and Microsoft as an example. Both companies released software (iOS 10 and Vista, respectively) in the early 2000s. It took 600 Apple engineers less than two years to roll out their software; 10,000 Microsoft engineers took five years to release (and then retract) Vista.
"The difference is in the way these companies chose to construct their teams," says Mankins. Apple also rewarded teamwork — no individual received praise for their performance unless the entire team did well — while Microsoft used a "stacked ranking" and compensated individuals based on performance.


Cypher labels were used as a security devise to secure impressed revenues to velum documents by the relevant authorities in the stamping room at the State Treasury. No fee was charged for this service therefore they are not a revenue. They were never sold to the public.
The difference between Queensland and New South Wales Cypher labels as listed below. No printing records have survived for either Qld or NSW.
Queensland Crown differs in that the inner fabric of the crown is engraved with a mesh, whereas the NSW fabric has been engraved with single shading lines. The Queensland Crown is 1mm wider than the NSW Crown. The Queensland Crown has 10 pearls left and right the New South Wales Crown has 9. If you look close you will find further differences in the shading of the cross etc.
Royal Cypher on the Queensland issue is 11mm x 10mm. The NSW issue is 11mm x 11mm.
Printed on small truncated star [sg 4] type paper with small star and QUEENSLAND/POSTAGE-POSTAGE/STAMPS-STAMPS in three lines perf 12.
I futher have a perforated copy with the corner black 'SPECIMEN' ring on.
Used to seal a silver strip [akin to the modern staple] on the reverse of velum, to attach a base paper prior to impressing the instrument. This also applies to NSW. It should be noted all Qld base paper recorded has had the corners cut in a curve whereas NSW base paper was cut with square corners. Both states have recorded light blue base paper issued first both then changed to dark blue. light blue appears very scarce from either state.
From a recent discovery I have found a watermarked Queensland type III issue in an imperf pair, this is the first copy on watermarked paper imperf to turn up this also makes it the largest multiple from either state. Maybe proof status, studies continue.
NSW issued 3 different labels Type I, II & III.
Type I. c1866 22mm x 27mm. Type II c1874 22mm x 27½mm.
With a new Act [Vic.44. No3] in place old stock was used up till the system ceased c1901.
All labels are printed on unwatermarked plain paper except Queensland Type III. This is printed on small star [sg 4] type paper with small truncated star and QUEENSLAND/POSTAGE-POSTAGE/STAMPS-STAMPS in three lines perf 12. The Queensland watermarked and perforated labels have yet to be found used on a document, it is possible they were prepared and used for Parliamentary presentation packs in 1901 but this does not fit the date of watermark usage all known perforated stamps have gum.

"More insight into how it works and what it does"
Impulse Triggers - Xbox One's Wireless Controller sports four vibration motors - a small one behind each trigger that adds precise haptic feedback to the finger tips, and a larger in each grip for large scale rumbles. This gives users a sense of in-game directionality and depth, creating rich, immersive experiences where gunshots, car crashes and explosions can come to life. Higher Quality Headset Audio - The data transfer rate between the controller and console has been improved, allowing for higher fidelity audio in communication headsets. In-game chat over Xbox Live, according to the team, will be in many cases clearer than talking on a phone. Revamped Thumbsticks - The thumbsticks are built for precision and comfort. They're smaller and outlined with a knurled texture for better grip. Competitive gamers will be pleased to hear the sticks require 25 percent less force to move, allowing you to adjust your aim in a first-person shooter or execute a half-circle sweep in a fighting game faster and more accurately. The controller also uses advanced electronics that reduce thumbstick deadzone in the center. Brand New D-Pad - The old Xbox 360 D-pad is replaced by a new design that pays homage to classic controllers and is architectured to deliver more precision and tactile feedback for gaming. The D-pad's cross shape is honed to provide accurate cardinal direction input, sweeping movements and combinations - important factors for sports and fighting games, and other experiences. Buttons, Buttons, Buttons - The A, B, X and Y buttons are lower to the controller with tighter spacing, making the transition between each one smoother. A new, three-step manufacturing process gives these buttons a more premium look, as if the letters on them are suspended in 3-D space. The size and placement of the Xbox button has also changed so the view and menu buttons are more accessible. Seamless Connectivity - Each controller uses a combination of invisible reflective technology and LEDs to send a patterned infrared signal to your console and Kinect sensor. Not only does this make pairing the devices seamless, but it enables Kinect to associate the controller with whoever is holding it. This introduces innovative experiences, such as player switching, where a split screen display can swap positions on the TV if users change seats on the couch. Low Power State - If you're watching a movie or need to step away from the TV, the controller enters a low power state that conserves your battery. The moment you pick it up again, it will be ready for use without having to resynch with the console. Refined for Comfort - The controller's design is deliberately honed to the closest tenth of a millimeter to offer the most comfortable fit in users' hands, and was tested extensively by a broader age group than ever before to ensure it is optimized for as many people as possible. According to the team's research, this improves gameplay performance and allows comfortable gaming for longer periods of time. Angled Triggers and Bumpers - The triggers and bumpers are carefully designed for performance and comfort. The specific angling allows for a natural fit for your fingers, and the triggers require a lighter pull, so squeezing it repeatedly is an easier and more precise action. Internal Battery Cavity - The compartment that houses AA batteries is built into the interior of the controller, providing more room at the bottom for your fingers to grip. Another convenient improvement is that the controller is both wireless and a wired - simply plug it into your console with a mini USB cable and the connection automatically switches to preserve battery life.

SoftBank strengthens its stake in Yahoo Japan in a new $2 billion deal
Anna Domanska , July 10, 2018	 / 1489 0
Altaba Inc. formerly known as Yahoo! Inc is selling around $2 billion worth of its stake in Yahoo Japan to SoftBank as part of a three-way deal that will increase SoftBank's stake in Yahoo Japan.
The deal will see SoftBank raise its Yahoo Japan stake to about 48% from around 43% while Altaba will sell down its Yahoo Japan stake to about 27% after disposing of around 613,888,888 million shares worth $2 billion, according to Reuters.
From the reports, the deal is structured to see SoftBank buy 221 billion yen (~$2 billion) worth of Yahoo Japan shares from Yahoo Japan's second-largest shareholder, Altaba, through a tender offer at 360 yen (~$3.25) per share which is equivalent to Yahoo Japan share closing on Monday. And Yahoo Japan will buy back 220 billion yen ($2 billion) worth of shares from Softbank.
Altaba which has been selling down its shares will have two of its Yahoo Japan board representatives step down once the transaction announced on Tuesday is completed.
SoftBank will enjoy more market strength
The deal is like a breakthrough for SoftBank which has been working hard to boost its collaboration with Yahoo Japan. It will help the telecom giant to strengthen its Smartphone services, e-commerce, and other businesses through the search engine giants.
"I have strong confidence in the future performance of Yahoo Japan, and I'm excited about the significant synergies," said CEO Masayoshi Son, SoftBank Group.

Information about the transaction is coming as SoftBank prepare to list its local telecoms unit in what could be the largest Japanese IPO at least for two decades.
SoftBank has ride-booking services, financial-technology, solar energy, human-shaped companion robot and otter businesses. The leading Japanese telecoms giant also owns ARM, a British semiconductor company, SoftBank Hawks and a Japanese baseball team.
Yahoo Japan is one of the top search engines in Japan. The firm offers film listings, the news and online auctioning.
Yahoo! Inc. changed its name to Altaba after disposing most of its digital services including email to Verizon Communications in a deal worth $4.48 billion last year. The company was ordered to pay fine of $35 million to settle charges from federal regulators for deceiving its investors by not disclosing what has remained one of the biggest data breaches in the history of the internet. Hundreds of millions of U.S. Yahoo users had their personal data stolen by Russian hackers in a December 2014 breach.
Yahoo Japan shares increased by almost 12% after the deal was announced, meanwhile, Altaba shares which closed 0.3% higher Monday added another 0.5% on Tuesday.

Goliath Games is an international manufacturer and distributor of toys and games (among the brands we market are Rummikub, Triominos, Rolit, Wordsearch, Pop the Pig, Doggie Doo, Gooey Looey, Robofish, Domino Rally and many more sold under the flag of Goliath).
Goliath is one of the few remaining family-owned and run businesses in the world of toys and games. Goliath was established in 1980 and ever since has grown tremendously. Currently we own and operate offices in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, USA (Goliath LLC and Pressman), Canada, Hong Kong and Australia (Crown & Andrews). Our head office (R&D, financial administration and logistics) is located in the Netherlands, from where we export to approximately 70 countries world-wide.
Our slogan 'Clever Together!' applies to our products – that combine fun and wittiness – as well as the internal processes of creating and marketing them.
Goliath Games was founded in 1980 by Adi Golad. From a one-man-one-product-one-country- show, we are now selling thousands of products, with hundreds in the team, in tens of countries.
.. Adi and Margreeth (his wife) fell in love over a game of Rummikub with the Israeli desert in the background. Shortly after their encounter, Margreeth revealed the game to her family in her home country Holland. The two of them dropped everything and followed the call that changed their life.
To cut a long story short, Adi quit his career as a mechanical engineer, married his love, traded his car for 500 games, moved to Holland and together with his wife, began selling board games on the street, because the conventional trade rejected their offering. Despite obstacles on the way, by applying grass-root marketing they popularized this one single game among Dutch people. Their persistence and efforts paid off, consequently setting and holding a world record in quantity of a single game sold per capita in one year.
The extensive efforts eventually formed the solid foundation for the organization as it stands today with offices and distributors around the globe: serving 1,5 billion consumers worldwide. Goliath is constantly searching for new opportunities, inventions, distributors and talents for our large variety of games as well as toys.
We believe the magic of socio-cognitive development happens when having fun together – we contribute to a better life by creating products that stimulate 'moments of togetherness'.
At Goliath we continuously work on the creation of innovative products that contribute to the universal need for and benefit of (social) fun.
In short we believe in the fun of being CLEVER TOGETHER.
We contribute to the sustainability of our business and the world we live in by developing and trading products that are safe to use, created responsibly and are value for money.
We believe trust, loyalty and commitment are the cornerstones of long-lasting relations: with our employees, inventors, suppliers, customers and consumers. In other words: we say what we do and we do what we say.
We take pride in developing and trading fun products that inspire through being engaging, novel, unique and (thought-)provoking.

Law at work - July 2015
Taylor Wessing
United Kingdom July 16 2015
Latest report on the uptake of the Early Conciliation procedure
In June's Law at Work we reviewed both some recent cases concerning the interpretation and enforcement of the new rules and the latest ACAS quarterly reports so far produced. Earlier this month ACAS released news of a report on the first year's statistics of the Early Conciliation procedure.
This latest report shows that the service has dealt with over 83,000 cases between April 2014 and March 2015. In three quarters of cases parties have been willing to talk about the issues which have created a better understanding of the dispute, assisting with a resolution either immediately or as the matter proceeds. During this first year 63% of notifications made to ACAS under the Early Conciliation procedure did not proceed to a tribunal claim either because employees decided not to take their matter further or because other settlement agreements were reached; a further 15% resulted in a COT3 settlement and 22% progressed to a tribunal claim. As ACAS conciliation remains available between lodging the claim and the tribunal hearing, more than half of the claims which did progress, then settled.
The recent report also highlighted some other advantages of the new procedure. Parties saved time compared to going to Tribunal. Claimants spent six hours on their dispute on average, rather than six hours on employment tribunal disputes. For employers the figures were five hours spent on a dispute rather than five days if it went to tribunal. Other benefits included the fact that 93% of claimants and representatives who had agreed a financial sum in settlement confirmed that they had been paid compared to a figure of only 63% where claimants had been given a financial award at tribunal.
Restrictions on highly skilled migrants proposed
Prime Minister David Cameron has said during Prime Minister's Questions that the Migration Advisory Committee would consider restricting non EU work visas to specialists and those who can address "genuine skill shortages". He has also suggested that measures taken could include a "skills levy" on businesses that recruit foreign workers and increasing the salary threshold for a skilled worker.
Charlie Pring commented on the problems surrounding these proposals in Pay and Benefits Magazine.
FCA call for input into regulatory barriers to innovation in financial services sector
The Financial Conduct Authority has issued a Call for Input to help identify regulatory barriers to innovation in digital and mobile solutions for the financial services sector. Is the intensity of the compliance burden a barrier to entry? How would you prioritise the value of different aspects of regulatory protection to consumers? Is the FCA approval of senior management teams critical, as it is not something consumers can assess themselves?
The deadline for submission is 7 September 2015. If you have any ideas, you can send them directly to the FCA or, as Taylor Wessing will be making a submission, contact Caroline Bystrom orJonathan Rogers.
Global Data Hub: Employees and data: your greatest asset or your weakest link?
You can have a well thought out data protection strategy but if you do not have reliable employees who understand and can implement your policies, you remain at risk of suffering a potentially costly and embarrassing data breach. Recent high profile cases in the USA have highlighted what can happen when employees 'go rogue' or are simply unprepared to assist with data security.
This month, Global Data Hub looks at the importance of creating a culture of data protection and security compliance among employees, from the point of recruitment through to what you can do if the worst happens.

GEN 6:9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him. 7:5 And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him. 12:1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. 2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." 4 So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. 17:9 Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. 23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him. 18:19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." 21:4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. 22:12 "Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son." 24:50 Laban and Bethuel answered, "This is from the LORD; we can say nothing to you one way or the other. 35:1 Then God said to Jacob, "Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau." 7 There he built an altar, and he called the place El Bethel, because it was there that God revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
EXO 7:6 Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD commanded them. 12:28 The Israelites did just what the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron. 19:5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 20:6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. 23:22 If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you. 24:7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, "We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey." 32:25 Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock to their enemies. 26 So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, "Whoever is for the LORD, come to me." And all the Levites rallied to him. 27 Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.'" 28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. 29 Then Moses said, "You have been set apart to the LORD today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day." 39:42 The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 43 Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them. 40:16 Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded him. 21 Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the Testimony, as the LORD commanded him. 23 and set out the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him. 32 They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses.
LEV 19:36 Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt. 37 "'Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the LORD.'" 20:8 Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy. 22 "'Keep all my decrees and laws and follow them, so that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out. 26:3 "'If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, 4 I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit. 5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land. 6 "'I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove savage beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. 7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. 8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you. 9 "'I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. 10 You will still be eating last year's harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. 11 I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you. 12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. 13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.
NUM 9:20 Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the LORD'S command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out. 21 Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. 23 At the LORD'S command they encamped, and at the LORD'S command they set out. They obeyed the LORD'S order, in accordance with his command through Moses. 14:24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it. 15:38 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. 39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by going after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes. 40 Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God. 27:12 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go up this mountain in the Abarim range and see the land I have given the Israelites. 13 After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was, 14 for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin, both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes." (These were the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.) 15 Moses said to the LORD, 16 "May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community 17 to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD'S people will not be like sheep without a shepherd." 18 So the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand on him. 19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly and commission him in their presence. 20 Give him some of your authority so the whole Israelite community will obey him. 21 He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the LORD. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in." 22 Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly.
JDG 2:7 The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel. 6:25 That same night the LORD said to him, "Take the second bull from your father's herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father's altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. 26 Then build a proper kind of altar to the LORD your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second bull as a burnt offering." 27 So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD told him. But because he was afraid of his family and the men of the town, he did it at night rather than in the daytime. 28 In the morning when the men of the town got up, there was Baal's altar, demolished, with the Asherah pole beside it cut down and the second bull sacrificed on the newly built altar!
1SA 12:24 But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. 15:22 But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. 18:14 In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him. 25:28 Please forgive your servant's offense, for the LORD will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my master, because he fights the LORD'S battles. Let no wrongdoing be found in you as long as you live.
1KI 3:14 And if you walk in my ways and obey my statutes and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life." 11:6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done. 34 "'But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon's hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who observed my commands and statutes. 15:5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not failed to keep any of the LORD'S commands all the days of his life–except in the case of Uriah the Hittite. 19:19 So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him. 20 Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. "Let me kiss my father and mother good-by," he said, "and then I will come with you." "Go back," Elijah replied. "What have I done to you?" 21 So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.
2KI 17:37 You must always be careful to keep the decrees and ordinances, the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods. 38 Do not forget the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods. 18:6 He held fast to the LORD and did not cease to follow him; he kept the commands the LORD had given Moses. 20:3 "Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 21:8 I will not again make the feet of the Israelites wander from the land I gave their forefathers, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them and will keep the whole Law that my servant Moses gave them." 22:2 He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left. 23:24 Furthermore, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods, the idols and all the other detestable things seen in Judah and Jerusalem. This he did to fulfill the requirements of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the temple of the LORD. 25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did–with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.
1CH 16:15 He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations, 28:9 "And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. 10 Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a temple as a sanctuary. Be strong and do the work." 20 David also said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.
EZR 1:1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and to put it in writing: 2 "This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: "'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Anyone of his people among you–may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 And the people of any place where survivors may now be living are to provide him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.'" 7:10 For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.
NEH 1:5 Then I said: "O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands, 7:2 I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most men do. 9:8 You found his heart faithful to you, and you made a covenant with him to give to his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites and Girgashites. You have kept your promise because you are righteous.
JOB 1:8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." PSA 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 17:3 Though you probe my heart and examine me at night, though you test me, you will find nothing; I have resolved that my mouth will not sin. 18:44 As soon as they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cringe before me. 25:10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant. 26:3 for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth. 4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites; 5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. 6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD, 76:11 Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared. 99:7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them. 101:2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life–when will you come to me? I will walk in my house with blameless heart. 3 I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me. 103:17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD'S love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children– 18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. 20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. 21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. 106:30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked. 31 This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come. 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. 112:1 Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. 119:2 Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. 4 You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. 5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! 6 Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands. 8 I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me. 10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. 15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. 16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word. 22 Remove from me scorn and contempt, for I keep your statutes. 30 I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws. 31 I hold fast to your statutes, O LORD; do not let me be put to shame. 33 Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end. 40 How I long for your precepts! Preserve my life in your righteousness. 44 I will always obey your law, for ever and ever. 45 I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts. 47 for I delight in your commands because I love them. 48 I lift up my hands to your commands, which I love, and I meditate on your decrees. 51 The arrogant mock me without restraint, but I do not turn from your law. 54 Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge. 55 In the night I remember your name, O LORD, and I will keep your law. 56 This has been my practice: I obey your precepts. 59 I have considered my ways and have turned my steps to your statutes. 60 I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands. 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. 69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart. 72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. 77 Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight. 87 They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts. 97 Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. 100 I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts. 101 I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word. 102 I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. 104 I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. 106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws. 109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law. 110 The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your precepts. 112 My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end. 129 Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them. 166 I wait for your salvation, O LORD, and I follow your commands. 167 I obey your statutes, for I love them greatly. 168 I obey your precepts and your statutes, for all my ways are known to you. 143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
PRO 1:33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm." 19:16 He who obeys instructions guards his life, but he who is contemptuous of his ways will die. 28:7 He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.
ECC 12:13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
ISA 1:19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; 38:3 "Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
JER 26:13 Now reform your ways and your actions and obey the LORD your God. Then the LORD will relent and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you. 38:20 "They will not hand you over," Jeremiah replied. "Obey the LORD by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well with you, and your life will be spared.
EZE 7:10 "The day is here! It has come! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed! 23 "Prepare chains, because the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of violence. 18:19 "Yet you ask, 'Why does the son not share the guilt of his father?' Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live. 33:14 And if I say to the wicked man, 'You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right– 15 if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die. 16 None of the sins he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
JON 3:3 Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very important city–a visit required three days. 5 The Ninevites believed God. They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. 6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. 7 Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: "By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let any man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. 9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish." 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.
HAG 1:12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. And the people feared the LORD.
MAL 4:4 "Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
JOH 1:47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false." 4:32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about." 34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 5:30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. 8:28 So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. 51 I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." 9:4 As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 12:26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. 49 For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say." 13:17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command. 21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." 23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 31 but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. "Come now; let us leave. 15:10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17:4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 6 "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
ACT 4:19 But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. 5:29 Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men! 7:3 'Leave your country and your people,' God said, 'and go to the land I will show you.' 4 "So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living. 5 He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child. 6 God spoke to him in this way: 'Your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. 7 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,' God said, 'and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.' 8 Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs. 10:2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 13:22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.' 23:1 Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, "My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day." 24:16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. 26:4 "The Jews all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem. 5 They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee.
ROM 6:17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
GAL 3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." 5:3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
EPH 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. 4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 6:6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
PHI 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed–not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence–continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 3:7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
1TH 1:9 for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 2:10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.
1TI 6:14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 2TI 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.
HEB 3:2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house. 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 10:7 Then I said, 'Here I am–it is written about me in the scroll–I have come to do your will, O God.'" 11:7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 By faith Abraham, even though he was past age–and Sarah herself was barren–was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. 13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country–a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. 17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 13:16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
JAM 1:22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it– he will be blessed in what he does. 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
1PE 1:2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
1JO 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. 3:22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. 5:2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 2JO 1:6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
REV 2:19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. 3:4 Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. 12:17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring–those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus. 14:4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless. 22:7 "Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book." 14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.


Water views provide the raison d'être for many of our homes. Materials are honestly expressed, and used with sensitivity to the natural world. With decades of experience creating custom homes that enhance rather than displace the coastal landscape, we endeavor to design our homes without detracting from the natural beauty of the site.
From drawing board to phased construction, works in progress reveal the spirit of design as it emerges.
Our collaborative approach results in a range of stylistic choices, yet our best projects have something in common: maximizing the site's challenges and opportunities while providing spaces perfectly suited to each client's needs and desires.
Whether perched on a bluff, nestled among trees or set into a mountain meadow, our cabins & cottages are a destination "away from it all", cabins inspire daytime adventures and cozy nights curled up by the fire.
Finding the right solution for each unique site and client encourages us to discover and balance priorities, poetically engage with light and materials, and seek out unexpected opportunities.
Harmony and balance are especially important considerations when remodeling. We carefully asses the existing structure, maximizing the potential impact of the renovation scope for modern updates, efficiency upgrades and better use of space.
Our planning work includes feasibility studies and master planning for commercial, residential and institutional clients. We empower our clients with the knowledge necessary to take their project to the next level with confidence.
Featuring panoramic views and dramatic scenery, our mountain homes and cabins are inspired by their surroundings. We specialize in cultivating a sensitive understanding of site: the textures of the vegetation, steep slopes, rocky terrain, dramatic vistas, wind, sun, and snow.
The challenge of urban building design lies in how to maximize light and views without sacrificing privacy. We engage with adjacent context to create unique designs appropriate to the urban fabric, also providing respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
"Prefab", or prefabricated, refers to any structure that is constructed primarily off-site, in a factory, and shipped to the home site 80-95% complete. The average prefab home takes 3-4 months to construct in a factory and typically takes 2-8 weeks to finish once on site, depending on project complexity. Prefabrication minimizes on-site work, reducing high labor overhead and effectively shortening the construction schedule. Our prefab homes offer expedited construction without sacrificing quality and craftsmanship. See Prefab Process for more information.
The process for custom prefab homes is similar to designing any other custom home. The only difference is in the construction method.
We are proud to offer a line of predesigned prefab homes - the Prefab Cabin Series and the Prefab SML Series - in conjunction with Method Homes, a local prefab company.
All projects are unique. The context of a given project dictates our approach. From the water's edge to the mountain's slope, we embrace singularity and optimize for delight.

Streaming Sans Soleil
Nicky Smith
Netflix's recent stock plunge is only the beginning of the streaming pioneer's downfall.
Sound the bugles: the sun is setting on Netflix. Forbes says, "There's nothing but pain ahead for Netflix. Its stock is likely headed to $225 and dropping below $100 is a real possibility… Not only did it lose American subscribers last quarter. It added only 2.7 million subscribers worldwide... less than half the number it added in the same quarter last year." Although its stock is down just 22 percent, the future is grim: Disney, AT&T, and Comcast will all roll out their own streaming services over the next year, and unless Netflix scores a hit on the level of Stranger Things or House of Cards, their catalogue likely won't be able to compete. Netflix's two most streamed shows are The Office and Friends (owned by AT&T and Comcast, respectively), and they'll be pulled in 2020.
Competitive streaming services will be massively successful regardless of breadth or quality because they are known brands: 20th Century Fox, NBCUniversal, HBO, and thousands upon thousands of famous films and TV shows. Disney can do whatever they want and make billions. Their live action remakes of animated classics are scary because they offer nothing new; no one is enthusiastic about them, yet they all make enormous amounts of money. Say what you will about Marvel and Star Wars, at least those franchises have some life in them, and are good enough to keep conversation going (whether it's positive, like nearly everything Marvel has produced since 2008, or virulently negative, as with The Last Jedi and Solo). No one talks about Disney's live action remakes at all, but they're familiar. People don't care if the product itself is dead.
For years, Netflix's only competition was niche services like MUBI, Kanopy, and Filmstruck, which shut down late last year. A day after that announcement, film programmer and Beyond Video collective member Eric Hatch said, "Filmstruck represented one of the finest efforts yet at making the canon of world cinema available via streaming... Its too-brief existence offers yet another confirmation of the enduring need for diverse, comprehensive, and accessible physical-media libraries of films from every era, region, and genre of cinema history."
Disney, AT&T, and Comcast will not make things better. Films are going to become harder to find and more expensive across the board. Even if they keep up on preserving their library and their vaults, they will hold those keys tight. Disney is rumored to be cancelling all repertory engagements of 20th Century Fox films, so the Robert Siodmak noir I saw last night at Baltimore's The Charles, Cry of the City, may not return to the screen in my lifetime. Unless Disney allows it. Let's assume they won't: here are four hard to find movies available in passable quality on YouTube. Piracy may be the only way forward for film archivists petrified of losing access to the vaults of megacorporations that couldn't care less.
In a Year of 13 Moons (1978)
Rainer Werner Fassbinder's darkest and most brutal film, a black star in an already black sky. For funny Fassbinder, there's not much else besides the excellent Eight Hours Don't Make a Day, restored and reissued by the Criterion Collection last year. But Fassbinder's 1978 vivisection of the soul and suicide remains relatively difficult to see, available only as part of an expensive and nearly out of print collection including his 1974 TV movie Martha. The last five days in the life of Elvira, a transvestite who regrets his impulsive decision to get a sex change in the hopes of finally charming a man he loves. Perfect to watch when you feel like absolute shit because it doesn't get any worse than this.
Le Petit Soldat (1963)
Completed shortly after Breathless in 1960, Jean-Luc Godard's second film was banned in France until 1963 due to its depiction of military torture. Mostly forgotten and unavailable on physical media for years, the copy on YouTube is strikingly clear, with English subtitles and presented in the film's proper aspect ratio. It's Godard's first collaboration with Anna Karina, who turned down the role that went to Jean Seberg in Breathless. It's one of only three Godard films from his 1960s hot streak interpolated into The Image Book (which you can buy or rent on YouTube). The others are 1967's Weekend, which remains well known and easily available via the Criterion Collection, and 1963's Les Carabiniers, which is completely unavailable besides out of print DVD's from a 16mm to videotape transfer.
Subtitled "Dedicated to Ozu," Abbas Kiarostami's follow-up to the masterful Ten is even more spartan: five static shots. A retrospective of Kiarostami's work is already underway at the IFC Center in New York, and screenings of his Koker trilogy will begin touring the country as Criterion releases the films in Region 1 for the first time at the end of the month. So far, no reissue of Five has been announced, and what better way to watch a film like this than on YouTube? Lacking the transformative and hypnotic alterations of his final film 24 Frames, there's even less action in Five: four static shots lasting roughly 16 minutes each, followed by another 16 minute shot that features some camera movement, and for the first time. If you find looking at driftwood in the Caspian Sea fascinating and inspiring, Kiarostami gave you 74 minutes. Is this cinema? "Anyone could do that." Well, Kiarostami did.
I'm Hungry, I'm Cold (1984)
An excellent 12-minute short by Chantal Akerman, whose 1980s work remains woefully difficult and often impossible to find in Region 1. Golden Eighties, her consumerist musical fantasia, and A Couch in New York, a romantic comedy starring Juliette Binoche and William Hurt (who both refused to promote the film) are impossible to find. I'm Hungry, I'm Cold feels like a return to her first short film Saute ma Ville, made in 1968 when Akerman was only 18: roughly the same age as the two leads here, who similarly wander around Brussels bored but not disaffected, rebellious but not dangerous, and their "up to no good" is as good as it gets.
