Septuagint text: Our version of this book reads differently to other Bibles. Why? We use the much older Greek Septuagint manuscripts – and most will closely resemble the versions used by many 1st-century Christians, including the Apostles. These older manuscripts escaped the censorship applied to the Hebrew manuscripts. Our translation is created by volunteers, and we are always correcting and refining the text.

About this book Ezra is an historical account of the return of the Jews to JeruSalem after Babylon was defeated by the Persians.It covers the period from the 1st year of the reign of King Cyrus of Persia over Babylon, to the reestablishment and cleansing of the Priesthood.It was written by the Jewish Scribe and Priest Ezra.Not the originalThis version of Ezra is not the version used by the Apostles and the Early Christians.This text is the later version of the Septuagint text of Ezra, known as Esdras Beta (Ἔσδρας Βʹ). Early (Greek-speaking) Christians used a version now known as Esdras Alpha (Ἔσδρας Αʹ). The Alpha version has extra material that isn't found in the Beta version, and the Beta version is almost exactly like the Hebrew version. So, thinking that the version closest to the Hebrew must be the most accurate, the Catholic Church rejected the Alpha version (through Jerome) in favor of the Beta version.However, we believe that they made a mistake. They assumed that because the Alpha version differed from the 'original language' Hebrew text, that the Alpha version was in error. It didn't seem to occur to them that the Hebrew text may be different because of deliberate censorship by the 1st century Rabbis who censored other parts of the Hebrew text, yes, by those who also removed or altered many Messianic prophecies (and so on).Indeed, the extra material in the Alpha version doesn't contradict anything in the Bible. On the contrary, the Alpha text uses a literary device called an 'inclusio,' where the narration forms a certain pattern. The Beta version rips the heart out of the inclusio pattern, ruining it. This is compelling evidence for the authenticity of the Alpha text.Why, though, would 1st century Rabbis censor Ezra? Well, a few things in the missing material stand out.The missing material not only calls women powerful and wise, but also upholds truth from God as being supreme. The Rabbis under Rabbi Akiba not only had disdain for women, but regarded themselves as the source of all truth – even to the point of the Rabbis correcting God Himself. They did not believe that God is the source of truth, but that they were. However, the most compelling reason for the censorship is this: these missing words about truth were regarded by early Christians as a Messianic prophecy, since Jesus also talked about truth. So it's easy to see why the Rabbis under Akiba might have wished to remove these parts (if that's indeed what happened).Unfortunately, when we first began this translation, we didn't understand these issues with Ezra, so we've only translated the censored Beta text.In the future, we'll also supply a translation of the Alpha text – yes, the same text used by Jesus and the Apostles in the 1st century. In the meantime, we recommend the NETS translation of the Alpha text.
1In the 1st year of King Cyrus of Persia, the Word of Jehovah came through the mouth of [the Prophet] JeremiAh to awaken the spirit of King Cyrus.2So, [Cyrus] sent a written proclamation throughout his kingdom that said:'This is what Cyrus the king of Persia has decreed:'All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by Jehovah, the God of the heavens, and He told me to build a Temple to Him in JeruSalem of Judah. 3So, who of you are His people? His God Jehovah is now with him!'Therefore, let him [return to JeruSalem] and build a Temple for the God of IsraEl who is The God in JeruSalem.4'Therefore, all the Judeans should leave the places where they've been staying and take up a collection of silver and gold, as well as of things from among their belongings and their cattle, [to rebuild] the Temple of God in JeruSalem.'5And thereafter, the family heads of Judah and BenJamin, as well as the Priests and Levites – everyone whose spirit God had awakened to go and build a Temple of Jehovah in JeruSalem – got up and left, 6[carrying along] silver, gold, cattle, and gifts, in addition to their own offerings and personal belongings.7King Cyrus also brought out the things [that had been taken] from the Temple of Jehovah, which NebuChadNezzar had removed from JeruSalem and put into the temple of his god, 8and [Cyrus] sent them by the hand of his Royal Treasurer MithraDates, who counted everything and gave it all to SasaBasar, the [man who'd been appointed as] the ruler of Judah.9This is what he sent:• 30 wine-chillers of gold • 30 wine-chillers of silver • 29 sacrificial knives • 30 gold washbasins • 410 double-silver items • 1,000 other items, plus 5,400 smaller things of silver and gold.SasaBasar had it all carried from Babylon to JeruSalem during the resettlement.
1These are the ones who returned from Babylon to resettle Judah and JeruSalem [whose families] had been relocated by NebuChadNezzar (the king of Babylon)… Each person returned to his own city.2Those who returned with ZerubBabel were:• JoShua, • NehemiAh, • SeraiJah, • ReElaiJah, • MardecAi, • BilShan, • MizPar, • BigVai, • Rehum, and • BaAna.In numbers, the people of IsraEl included:3• 2,172 from ParOsh; 4• 372 from ShephatiJah; 5• 775 from Arah; 6• 2,812 from Pahath MoAb (descendants of JoShua and JoAb); 7• 1,254 from ElAm; 8• 945 from ZatTu; 9• 760 from ZacKai; 10• 642 from Bani; 11• 623 from BaeAi; 12• 1,220 from AzGad; 13• 666 from AdoniKam; 14• 2,056 from BigVai; 15• 454 from Adin; 16• 98 from Ater (descendants of HezekiAh); 17• 323 from BezAi; 18• 112 from JoRah; 19• 223 from Hashum; 20• 95 from GibBar; 21• 123 from BethLehem; 22• 56 from NetoPhah; 23• 128 from AnathOth; 24• 43 from AzMaveth; 25• 743 from KiriAth JaiRim, ChaPhira, and BeerOth; 26• 621 from Rama and GabaA; 27• 122 men of MichMash; 28• 223 men of BethEl; 29• 52 from Nebo; 30• 156 from MagBish; 31• 1,254 from ElAm; 32• 320 from Harim; 33• 725 from Lod, Hadid, and Ono; 34• 345 from JeriCho; 35• 3,630 from SenaAh; 36• 973 Priests of the house of JoShua from JedaiJah; 37• 1,052 from ImMer; 38• 1,247 from PashUr; 39• 1,007 from Harim.40There were also the following:• 74 Levites who were descendants of JoShua and KadmiEl from HoDaviJah; 41• 128 singers from the family of Asaph; 42• 139 gatekeepers from ShalLum, Ater, TelMon, AkKub, HatiTa, and ShobAi. 43• The Nethinim from SiHa, HaSupha, TabaOth, 44Keros, SiaHa, Padon, 45LebanAh, HagAbah, AkKub, 46HagAb, ShalmAi, Hanan, 47GidDel, Gahar, ReaJah and 48Rezin, and • 12 from NekoDa and GazZam.49As well as [ones] from:• UzZa, • PaseAh, • BesAi, 50• AsNah, • Mehunim, • Nephousim, 51• BakBuk, • HakUpha, • HarHur, 52• BazLuth, • MehiDa, • HarSha, 53• Barkos, • SiSera, • ThamAh, 54• NeziJah, • HatiPha, and 55• Descendants of the servants of Solomon from SotAi.From SopherEth there were:• Peruda 56of JaAlah, • DarKon, • GidDel, 57• ShephatiJah, • HatTil, • PocherEth, • Zebaim, and • Ami.58Altogether, there were 392 Nethinim and descendants of the servants of Solomon.59Those who came from TelMelah, TelHarsa, Cherub, AdDan, and ImMer were unable to report on their houses and children, because [it was questionable] whether they were actually IsraElites.60In addition, there were 652 from TobiJah and NekoDa.61Although the records of the priests from HabaiJah, Koz, and BarZilLai who married women from BarZilLai (in GileAd) had once existed, 62they couldn't be found when they went looking for their genealogy, so they were suspended from the priesthood.63AtherSastha told them this:'You may not eat from the Holy of Holies until a Priest returns [with] the Lights and Perfections [possibly meaning the Urim and Thumim, or the Revelation and Truth] to [tell us what we should do].64Altogether, there were 42,360 who returned, 65plus 7,337 male and female servants and 200 male and female singers.66They brought back:• 736 horses, • 245 mules, 67• 435 camels, and • 6,720 burros.68The family heads who went to the Temple of Jehovah in JeruSalem who were willing and able to contribute to its reconstruction, 69contributed 61,000 gold coins and 5,000 silver coins, plus 100 outfits for the Priests, which was all then put into the treasury.70However, the Priests, Levites, [dedicated] people, singers, gatekeepers, and Nethinim went and lived in their own cities, as did all the rest of IsraEl.
1Well, by the 7th month, all the sons of IsraEl had returned and were settled in their cities.And thereafter, all the people gathered in JeruSalem as one man, 2and JoShua (son of JoZadak), his brothers the Priests, and ZerubBabel (son of ShealtiEl) and his brothers all got up and built an Altar to the God of IsraEl upon which they could offer whole burnt offerings, as it was written in the Law of Moses, the man of God.3They prepared the Altar in a [hidden] place, because they were afraid of the people in the land... However, they kept bringing the whole burnt offerings to Jehovah from morning until evening.4Thereafter, they celebrated the Festival of Temporary Dwellings, following the written instructions, and they offered whole burnt offerings each day for the number of days that they understood were required.5And from then on, they continued to sacrifice whole burnt offerings on the New Moons and on all the holy celebrations of Jehovah, in addition to the free-will offerings that they brought to the Lord.6It was on the 1st day of the 7th month that they started sacrificing the whole burnt offerings to Jehovah, but the foundation for His Temple hadn't been laid yet.7So, they then hired quarry workers and laborers, and they offered food, drink, and olive oil to the Sidonians and the people of Tyre to get them to transport cedar boards from Lebanon across the sea to JopPa, as it had been decreed by Cyrus, the king of Persia.8Then when they assembled at the Temple of Jehovah God in JeruSalem, which was in the 2nd year and the 2nd month, ZerubBabel (son of ShealtiEl), JoShua (son of JoZadek), and the rest of their brothers among the Priests and Levites (as well as everyone else who had left captivity and returned to JeruSalem) assigned all the Levites who were 20-years and older to ensure the success of the ones who were doing the work on the Temple of Jehovah.9So, JoShua and his sons, as well as his brother KadmiEl and his sons (who were all Judeans) were put in charge over those who were doing the work at the Temple of God, along with the sons of HenAdad and their brothers the Levites.10Well, when they started laying the foundation for the Temple of Jehovah, the Priests donned their robes and got their trumpets, and the Levites (the descendants of Asaph) picked up their cymbals to praise Jehovah with [the songs] of David, the king of IsraEl.11Then, before Jehovah, they praised and acknowledged that He's good and that His mercy would remain upon IsraEl throughout the ages.Meanwhile, all the people were shouting and praising Jehovah together as the groundwork for the Temple of Jehovah was being prepared.12There was so much noise, because many of the Priests, Levites, family heads, and elders that were standing there watching the groundwork for the preparation of the Temple started weeping, while many others were shouting in joy (which made the sounds even louder).13So, it soon became difficult to distinguish the difference between the sounds of people shouting in joy and the sounds of the weeping... For the sounds of the cheering and weeping could be heard for [miles]!
1Well, when the people who opposed Judah and BenJamin heard that those who had returned were building a Temple to Jehovah the God of IsraEl, 2they approached ZerubBabel and the family heads and said to them:'You should allow us to build the Temple with you, so we can also ask [for things] from your God...'For we've been offering sacrifices to Him since the time of EsarHaddon the king of Assyria, who brought us here.'3But ZerubBabel, JoShua, and the rest of the family heads of IsraEl replied:'It isn't up to us to decide whether you can help us to build a Temple to Jehovah the God of IsraEl, for we were told to do this by Cyrus, the king of Persia.'4But thereafter, the people of the land did whatever they could to weaken the people of Judah and to impede the construction project. 5They even hired advisors to strongly oppose their plans during all the days of King Cyrus of Persia, right up until the kingdom of Darius of Persia.6Then, at the beginning of the reign of AhaSuerus, they wrote a letter against the people who were living in Judah and JeruSalem. 7And in the days of ArthaSastha, MithraDates, TabeEl, and his fellow servants wrote to ArthaSastha (the king of Persia) about them.And because they wrote it in Syrian, [the king's] tax collector had to translate it for him.8It was Lord Rehum that wrote the letter against JeruSalem to King ArthaSastha through his scribe ShimShai, which said:9'This is what our lord, Judge Rehum, as well as the scribe ShimShai, the rest of our fellow servants, the Dinaites, ApharSathchites, Tarpelites, Apharsites, Archevites, Babylonians, Sousanchites, Dehavites, Elamites, 10and all the other nations that were resettled in the cities of Samaria and across the river by the great and esteemed Asnapper [AshurBanipal] have to say'…11This is what they wrote to King ArthaSastha:'From your servants on the other side of the river;12'We wish to inform the king that the Judeans whom you sent among us have come to JeruSalem (an apostate and wicked city), where they've raised a foundation and they're getting ready to rebuild its walls.13'So, we want the king to know that if the city should be rebuilt and its walls re-erected, they'll stop paying their tolls and taxes, and they'll treat the king wickedly!14'It's because we don't wish to see such indecent treatment of the king that we're sending [this letter], and we want to let the king know what's really happening.15'If you'll examine the records of your ancestors, you'll see that [JeruSalem] is an apostate city that treats their kings badly, and that they've been escaping and rebelling throughout the ages…'This is why their city was destroyed!16'Therefore, we're informing the king that the city should not be rebuilt and that they should not be preparing its walls.17'From us on the other side of the river, to the king.'From Lord Rehum, ShimShai the scribe, and from the rest of their fellow servants that live in Samaria and across the river.'We wish you Peace.'18[Then the king replied]:'I just called the tax collector before me whom you sent, 19and as a result, I've issued a decree.'For after examining [the records], this is what I found:'That city has for a fact rebelled against the kings throughout the ages, and all sorts of uprisings and defections have happened there... 20For they once had [their own] mighty kings who ruled from JeruSalem all the way to the other side of the river, and that used to collect their own taxes and tolls.21'So now, [I have] passed a decree that those men should stop their work and that their city must never be rebuilt again!22'I appreciate the ways that you've followed my decrees, and for your concern that the power of the king may never be lost to evil deeds.'23[Then upon his return], King ArthaSastha's tax collector read [the letter] in the presence of Lord Rehum and the scribe ShimShai and their fellow servants, and they quickly traveled to JeruSalem [and throughout] Judah with their army and cavalry to force them to stop doing their work.24As a result, construction on the Temple of God in JeruSalem came to a halt, and it remained on hold until the 2nd year of the reign of Darius, the king of Persia.
1It was then that the Prophets HagGai and ZechariAh (son of IdDo) [each] spoke prophecies about the Jews in Judah and JeruSalem in the Name of the God of IsraEl.2So, ZerubBabel (son of ShealtiEl) and JoShua (son of JoZadek) got up and started rebuilding the Temple of God in JeruSalem once again, along with the Prophets of God who came to help them.3Then TatNai (the vassal king on the other side of the river) and ShetharBozNai and their fellow servants came to them and asked:'By whose decree are you rebuilding this Temple?'Where did you get the money? 4And what are the names of the men who have started rebuilding this city?'5Well, the eyes of God had been watching over the captivity of Judah and He didn't make them stop working on the Temple during the time that a report was being carried to Darius by his tax collector, and while they were thereafter awaiting his reply.6This is what the letter that was sent to King Darius by TatNai (the vassal king from the other side of the river), ShetharBozNai, and their fellow servants (who were ApharSachaeans that lived on the other side of the river) said:7'To Darius the king,'May you have peace in everything.8'Let it be known to the king that we went into Judea to the Temple of the great God, and found it being rebuilt with the best of stone and with timbers being inserted into the walls. We also found that the workmanship was well done and proceeding very well under them.9'So, we asked the elders there by whose decree this Temple was being rebuilt, who was providing the money for the construction, 10and what their names were, so we could send [this information] to you.11'And this was their reply:'We are servants of the God of the lands and the skies, and we're rebuilding the Temple that was built here many years ago by a great king of IsraEl, who prepared it for [His people].12'But when our ancestors made the God of of the heavens angry, He handed them over to NebuChadNezzar, the Chaldean king of Babylon.'So, this Temple was allowed to rest and the people were resettled in Babylon.13'However, in the 1st year of Cyrus (the king [that conquered] the Babylonians), he issued a decree to rebuild this Temple of God, 14and to return the items of gold and silver to the Temple of God which NebuChadNezzar had taken from the Temple in JeruSalem and carried to his own temple in Babylon.15'Then King Cyrus had these things taken from the temple in Babylon and he gave them to SheshBazzar (his royal treasurer), telling him to go and return it all to the Temple of God in JeruSalem, so that it could be rebuilt in the place where it once stood.16'So, SheshBazzar went to JeruSalem and laid the Temple foundation… Which has been under construction since that time, but it hasn't been finished yet.'17'Now, if the king approves... Please send someone to the treasury in the king's temple in Babylon to see if King Cyrus really did issue such a decree to rebuild the Temple of God in JeruSalem.'And when the king finds out, may he send a reply to us.'
1Well, after examining the library at the treasury in Babylon, King Darius thereafter issued a decree. 2For in the city of AchMetha, in the palace of the Medes, he found a scroll with a record that was written in the 1st year of King Cyrus, where he rendered a decree concerning the Temple of God in JeruSalem.3It said:'Allow a Temple to be built where they'll offer sacrifices!'Let them set in place the foundations.'[The building] must be 100 feet (30.5m) high and 100 feet (30.5) wide.4'It should be made with three layers of durable stones and a layer of durable timbers.'It's decreed that the expense [of this construction] will be paid for by the palace of the king. Also, the items of gold and silver that were confiscated from the Temple of God by NebuChadNezzar should be removed from his temple and returned to the one in JeruSalem… It should be taken from Babylon and transported to the Holy Place in JeruSalem, the Temple of God.'6So [the king] told King TatNai, ShetharBozNai, and his fellow servants (the ApharSachites from the other side of the river) to leave that place and to allow the work on the Temple of God [to be completed]… 7[not to bother] the elders and those who were directing the work of the Judeans, so they could rebuild [the Temple] where it once was.8[He said]:'My decree through the elders of those Judeans is for them to build the Temple of God using tax money from the [vassal] kings on the other side of the river. The expenses must be carefully calculated and then paid to those men, so the work doesn't stop.9'Also, where they're lacking enough male calves, rams, and lambs for their whole burnt offerings to the God of heaven, or wheat, salt, wine, or olive oil… Whatever the Priests in JeruSalem need, must be given to them each day.'There must be no arguing... Whatever they ask for 10should be provided, so a pleasant aroma may be offered to the God of heaven, and so that prayers may be offered on behalf of the king and his sons.11'This decree has come from me, and any man who challenges what I've said will have his house demolished and its boards placed upright! Thereafter, he will be impaled on top of them, and everything in his house will be looted.12'May the God who camps and puts His Name there wipe out any people and their kings who raise a hand against, or change, or hide the Temple of God in JeruSalem.'For I, Darius, have rendered this decree after thoughtful consideration…'May it be so!'13Then TatNai (the vassal king) from the other side of the river (as well as ShetharBozNai and his fellow servants) did exactly as they were told, because of what King Darius had decreed.14So, the Judean elders kept on building… And they were blest, just as the Prophets HagGai and ZechariAh (son of IdDo) foretold. They got everything ready and did the rebuilding, following the instructions of the God of IsraEl by the decrees of Cyrus, Darius, and ArthaSastha, the kings of the Persians.15Well, the Temple was completed by the 3rd day of the month of Adar in the 6th year of the reign of King Darius.16So, the sons of IsraEl, the Priests, the Levites, and all the rest that had returned in the resettlement joyfully declared a holiday of rededication of the Temple of God.17And this is what they offered for the rededication:• 100 calves, • 100 rams, • 200 lambs, and • 400 winter-yearling goats as sin offerings for all IsraEl.And they repeated this 12 times (for the number of the tribes of IsraEl).18They also reestablished the divisions of the Priests and they distributed the duties at the Temple of God in JeruSalem among the Levites, just as it was written in the book of Moses.19Thereafter, those who had returned went on to observe the Passover on the 14th day of the 1st month. 20For by then, all the Priests had been purified and all the Levites were clean.So they slaughtered the Passover for those who had returned and for their brothers the Priests. 21Then, all the sons of IsraEl (those who had returned and separated themselves from the uncleanness of the gentiles so they could ask for things from Jehovah the God of IsraEl) ate the Passover, 22and they joyfully observed the holiday of Fermentation-free Bread for seven days, because Jehovah had filled them with joy.Thereafter, even the king of Assyria assisted them by providing [workers] for the Temple of the God of IsraEl.
1It was during the reign of ArthaSastha the king of Persia, that Ezra returned from Babylon.[Ezra was:]• The son of SeraiJah, • The son of AzariJah, • The son of HilkiJah, 2• The son of ShalLum, • The son of ZaDok, • The son of AhiTob, 3• The son of AmariJah, • The son of AzariJah, • The son of MeraiOth, 4• The son of ZerahiJah, • The son of UzZi, • The son of BukKi, 5• The son of AbiShua, • The son of PhneHas, • The son EliEzer, • The son of Aaron, The first Priest.6He was a scribe who was well-versed in the Law that Jehovah the God of IsraEl had given to Moses. And because the hand of his God Jehovah was with him, the king gave him everything that he requested.7Then the sons of IsraEl, the Priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, 8and the Nethinim returned to JeruSalem in the 5th month of the 7th year of the reign of King ArthaSastha.9It was on the 1st day of the 1st month that he arranged for their return from Babylon, and it was on the 1st day of the 5th month that [Ezra] came to JeruSalem, because the good hand of his God was upon him.10Now, Ezra had prepared his heart to search the Law of Jehovah and then to practice and teach all its regulations and decisions to IsraEl.11King ArthaSastha also gave a copy of the following edict to the Priest Ezra (who was the scribe of the scroll of the words of the Commandments of Jehovah), which contained his orders concerning IsraEl.[The decree said]:12'ArthaSastha (the king of kings) to the Priest Ezra, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven:13'May my reply to this matter now be initiated, for I've sent a decree that tells all those in my kingdom among the people of IsraEl, including their Priests and Levites who wish to return to JeruSalem with you, that they may go there.14'And here, before the king and his 7 advisors, I'm sending you to oversee Judah and JeruSalem according to the Law of your God! 15You are to carry all the silver and gold to the Temple of Jehovah that the king and his counselors are willing to donate to the God of IsraEl who camps in JeruSalem, 16as well as all the silver and gold that you can find in Babylon, as an offering.'This is in addition to whatever your people may wish to offer to the Temple of your God in JeruSalem.17'Now, for everyone who's willing to go, you must (by this edict) arrange for them to bring along calves, rams, lambs, sacrifices, and drink offerings for presentation at the Altar of your God in JeruSalem.18'Also, carry along anything that you and your brothers see that you [will need], in addition to the silver and gold.'Do whatever pleases your God!19'Carry with you the items that were given to you for the services at the Temple of God, and present them before your God in JeruSalem. 20Also, carry along anything else that you see will be needed for your God from the treasury in the king's palace.21'I, King ArthaSastha, have also sent a decree regarding the treasuries that are on the other side of the river, that whatever Ezra the Priest and scribe of the Law of the God of heaven asks of [those people] must be readily obeyed.22'They must give you:• 3 tons (2,700kg) of silver, • 600 bushels of wheat, • 600 gallons (2,200l) of wine, • 600 gallons (2,200l) of olive oil, and • salt (no amount was specified).23'They must supply whatever the God of heaven has decreed for the Temple of the God of heaven!'They must be very careful to do this, for any attempt against the Temple of the God of heaven at any time will bring [my] rage upon the king of that kingdom and upon his sons.24'And let it be made known that in regard to all the Priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, and officials at the Temple of God... No one is authorized to impose any sort of tax or toll upon them!25'As for you, O Ezra:'Use the wisdom of God that's been placed in your hands to appoint scribes, as well as judges who know the Laws of your God, so as to judge all the people on the other side of the river and to teach them to anyone who doesn't already know them!26'Then you must decide whether any person who doesn't diligently obey the Laws of God and the laws of the king must be killed, exiled, taught, fined, or locked in prison.'27O praise Jehovah the God of our ancestors who put it into the heart of the king to glorify the Temple of Jehovah in JeruSalem this great way, 28and for causing the eyes of the king, his advisors, and his leading men to look so mercifully upon me![And praise] the good hand of my God Jehovah that has strengthened me, so that I could gather all the leaders of IsraEl and bring them back with me!
1Now, these are the heads of families and the genealogies of those who came with me from the kingdom of ArthaSastha, the king of Babylon:2From the descendants of PhiNehas there was:GerSom.From the descendants of IthaMar there was:DaniEl.From the descendants of David there was:HatTush.3From the descendants of ShechaniJah and the sons of PharOsh there was:ZechariAh, and with him were 150 that could trace their genealogies.4From the descendants of PahathMoab there was:EliHoEnai (son of ZereHijah) and 200 males with him.5From the descendants of ShechaniJah there was:AziEl and 300 males that came with him.6From the descendants of Adin there was:Ebed (son of JoNathan) and 50 males that came with him;7From the descendants of ElAm there was:IsaiJah (son of AthaliAh) and 70 males that came with him;8From the descendants of ShephatiJah there was:ZebadiJah (son of MichaEl) and 80 males that came with him;9From the descendants of JoAb there was:ObadiJah (son of JehiEl) and 218 males that came with him;10From the descendants of ShelomIth there was:JoSephiJah and 160 males that came with him;11From the descendants of BebAi there was:ZechariAh (son of BebAi) and 28 males that came with him;12From the descendants of AzGad there was:JoHanan (son of HacKatan) and 110 males that came with him;13From the descendants of AdoniKam (the latter) there was:EliPhelet, JeiEl, and ShemaiJah, and 60 males that came with them;14From the descendants of BigVai there was:UthAi and ZaboUd, and 70 males that came with them.15I gathered them by the river that flows past Evi, where we camped for three days.But then I noticed that there were no Priests or Levites to be found among the people, 16so I sent [a message] to:• EliEzer, • AriEl, • ShemaiJah, • ElNathan, • JaRib ElNatham, • Nathan, • ZechariAh, and • MeshulLam (who were their leaders)...as well as to JoiArib and ElNathan (their supervisors), 17and told them to go see IdDo, the ruler of the area of CasiPhiJa.I told them to tell IdDo and their brothers the Nethinim (who were the treasurers of CasiPhiJa) to send us officials and singers for the Temple of our God... 18And because the hand of our God was good to us, a very wise man from among the sons of MahLi (a descendant of Levi, son of IsraEl) was sent to us, along with SherEbiJah and his sons and family (18 people).19Also, HashAbiJah and JeShaiJah from the family line of MeraRi and their families and sons (some 20 people) came with them. 20And from the Nethinim whom David had appointed to be in charge of the services for the Levites, there were 220 more that were all [chosen by] name.21Then I called for a fast there at the Ahava River to humble ourselves before our God and to ask Him to straighten the way for ourselves, our children, and our possessions, 22because I was ashamed to ask the king for troops and cavalry to protect us from our enemies along the way, since I'd told the king that the hand of our God would be with all those who search for good things from Him, and that His might and rage would come upon all those who abandon Him.23So, we fasted and [put our trust] in our God about this matter, and He listened to us.24Then I selected 12 of the leaders from among the Priests and 10 from among the brothers of SherEbiJah and HashAbiJa, 25and I assigned them [to watch over] the silver, gold, and the items of the first-fruits that were dedicated to the Temple of our God by the king, his counselors, his governors, and by all the people of IsraEl.26I handed over to their charge:• Some 25 tons (22,700kg) of silver, • 4 tons (3,600kg) of items made of silver, • 3 tons (2,700kg) of gold, and 27• 1,000 gold bowls weighing 20 pounds (9kg) each, • Plus many items of shiny high-quality brass that was as good as gold.28And I said to them:'Now, you are holy to Jehovah God, and these items of silver and gold are also holy, for they're voluntary offerings to Jehovah the God of our ancestors.29'So, stay alert and watch over these things until we can hand them over to the Chief Priests, the Levites, and the heads of the families in JeruSalem for the place of worship in the Temple of Jehovah!'30Therefore, the Priests and Levites weighed all the silver, gold, and other items before they were to carry them to JeruSalem and to the Temple of our God.31Then we got up and left the Ahava River on the 12th day of the 1st month, as we started our journey towards JeruSalem, and the hand of our God was upon us, for He protected us from our enemies and everyone else along the way.32Well, when we finally arrived in JeruSalem, we [rested up] for three days... 33Then on the 4th day, we took all the silver, gold, and other items for the Temple of our God, and handed it over to:• MeremOth (son of UriJah) the High Priest, • EliEzer (son of PhiNehas), • JoZabad (son of JoShua), and • NoAdiJah (son of BinNai the Levite).34[And these men] weighed and recorded everything once again.35Then all those who had traveled with us in our return from captivity brought whole burnt offerings to the God of IsraEl, which consisted of:• 12 calves (one for each of the tribes of IsraEl), • 96 rams, • 77 lambs, and • 12 winter-yearling goats for the sin offering.It was all to be sacrificed as whole burnt offerings to Jehovah.36And thereafter (following the mandate that was given by the king and his administrators), the vassal kings on the other side of the river [provided the rest of the things that] the people needed for the Temple of God.
1Well after that, the leaders came to me and pointed out that we hadn't yet separated the people of IsraEl (or even the Priests and Levites) from the peoples of the land and the disgusting things of the CanaAnites, Hittites, Pherezites, Jebusites, AmMonites, MoAbites, Moserites, and Amorites.2For [many] had taken these people's daughters [as wives] for themselves and for their sons! So, the offspring of what is holy had become mixed with the peoples of the land… And even the governors and generals had become involved in this breach-of-contract.3Well when I heard about this, I ripped my clothes and underwear, and I was so furious that I ripped hair from my head and beard!Then I had to sit down to calm myself.4And all those who had gathered around me started trembling because of what the God of IsraEl had said about a breach-of-contract in the resettlement [of our people].So I just sat there calming myself until [it came time for] the evening sacrifice... 5Then I got up and I felt ashamed over ripping my clothes and underwear.So, I fell to my knees and spread my arms towards my God Jehovah, 6and I said:'Lord, I'm so ashamed… I'm too ashamed to stand up and face You, O my God, because we're in over our heads with lawbreaking, and our errors are so bad that they've reached into the heavens!7'For from the time of our ancestors down to this day, we've been guilty of great sins. And it's because of our lawbreaking that our kings, our Priests, and [our people] were handed over to the kings of the nations to be killed with swords and carried off into captivity…'Yes we were seized, and our faces have been shamed to this day.8'Now, O Jehovah our God,'You've been patient with us and You've allowed us to return [to our land] so that we could be taught to rely on Your Holy Place, to open our eyes, and to put a little life into our service [to You].9'And because we're Your servants and we haven't abandoned our service to our God, the kings of Persia have been merciful to us and given life to us, so that we could return to our deserted [homes] and rebuild the Temple of our God, and to fence Judah and JeruSalem off [from the surrounding nations].10'So, what can we say to our God after this?'For we've abandoned the Commandments 11that You gave to us through the hands of Your servants the Prophets when You said:'The land that you're returning to as its heirs is a land in motion... For the people who once inhabited that land have been removed from it because of the disgusting things and the filth that spilled from their mouths.12'Therefore, you must not give your daughters to them or take their daughters for your sons… Nor should you expect peace with them throughout the ages!'So now, to grow stronger, you must eat the good [produce] from this land, which you'll share with your sons throughout the ages!'13'Then after all of these things that happened to us because of our own wickedness and great errors, and after You (our God) [forgave] us for our lawless actions and delivered us, 14we still turned around and disregarded Your commandments by creating alliances with the people of these lands through marriages.'But, please don't become angry with us and destroy us, so that none of us remain!15'O Jehovah, the God of IsraEl,'You are righteous, for you've preserved us down to this day.'And look:'Here we stand before You in our errors… And we know that no one can stand before You in such a condition.'
1Then Ezra prayed, confessed, and cried as he fell [to his face] before the Temple of The God, along with a vast gathering of men, women, and young people from IsraEl that joined him, weeping bitterly.2Then one of them (ShechaniJah, son of JehiEl, a descendant of ElAm) said to Ezra:'We' have broken our contract with our God by [taking] women from among the people of this land... So because of this, there's no hope of IsraEl ever having a contract with our God!3'But, what if we agree (before our God) to lead away all the women and all those who were born to us, so that we can then start following the counsel of Jehovah, and so that those of us that are trembling before our God today can start following His commandments?'If [He will accept this], we can make it happen!4'So, you must now arise [and be strong], because this matter also affects you! Since we're all with you, you must have the strength to do whatever must be done!'5Well at that, Ezra stood up and he made the leaders, Priests, Levites, and all IsraEl swear to do the thing that [ShechaniJah] had proposed.6And thereafter, he left from that place in front of the Temple of God, and he went to the treasury of JoHanan (son of EliAshib) and he started living there. But he refused to eat any food or drink any water as he mourned over the breach-of-contract by those who had returned to resettle [the land].7Well, this was soon reported throughout Judah, JeruSalem, and wherever the people had resettled, and everyone was then called to assemble in JeruSalem.
8In fact, the governors and elders [had decreed] that all those who didn't come in [the next] three days would have everything they owned destroyed, and they'd be cut off from the gathering of those who'd returned in the resettlement!9So, all the men of Judah and BenJamin gathered in JeruSalem over the next three days. It was in the 9th month and on the 20th day of the month that all the people had finally arrived.Then they sat down in the square before the Temple of God… And they were all shaking, because of the seriousness of this matter.10Then Ezra (the Priest) stood up and said to them:'You have added to the sins of IsraEl and broken our contract [with God] by settling here with foreign women!11'Now, praise Jehovah the God of our ancestors and do whatever is pleasing before Him… Separate yourselves from the people of this land and from your foreign women!'12Then the entire assembly shouted loudly:'We'll do just as you said!'13But the crowd was huge and it was wintertime; one couldn't even stand outside [for too long]... So, the job couldn't be done in just a day or two, for that would've made all the wrongs even worse!14[Therefore, it was agreed that] the governors would call an assembly in each of the cities, and that all who'd taken foreign women were to come there at a prearranged time to meet with the city elders and judges, so that God's anger and rage over this matter could be removed from them.15Now, with the help of JoNathan (the son AsahEl) and JahaziJah (son of TikVah) and their assistants MeshulLam and the Levite ShabBethAi, everyone who had returned in the resettlement did as they were told.16So the Priest Ezra and each of the heads of the family lines started their inquiry on the 1st day of the 10th month, 17and the process of questioning all the men who had settled in with foreign women lasted until the 1st day of the 1st month.18As a result, it was found that among the Priests, those who had taken foreign women were:• The sons of JoShua (son of JoZadek).And those of his brothers:• MaAseiJah, • EliEzer, • JaRib, and • GedaliJah.19So they each gave their hand in a pledge to bring in their women, along with a sin offering of a ram from among their sheep, to cover their errors.20From among the sons of ImMer there was:• HanaNi and • ZebadiJah.21From the sons of Harim there was:• MaAseiJah, • EliJah, • ShemaiJah, • JehiEl, and • UzZiJah.22From the sons of Phasur there was:• EliWenai, • MaAseiJah, • IshMaEl, • NathaniEl, • JoZabad, and • ElAsah.23Among the Levites, there was:• JoZabad, • Shemei, • KelaiJah (also known as Kelita), • PethAhiJah, • Judah, and • EliEzer.24Among the singers, there was:• EliAshib.And from among the gatekeepers, there was:• ShalLum, • TelEm, and • Uri.25From IsraEl there were:• The sons of ParOsh, • RamiJah, • JeziJah, • MalchiJah, • MiAmin, • EliEzer, • MalchiJah, and • BenaiJah.26From the sons of ElAm there was:• MattaniJah, • ZechariAh, • JehiEl, • AbDi, • JeremOth, and • EliJah.27From the sons of ZatTu there was:• EliWenai, • EliAshib, • MatTaniJah, • JeremOth, • Zabad, and • AziZa.28From the sons of BebAi there was:• JehoHanan, • HaNaniJah, • ZabBai, and • AthLai.29From the sons of Bani there was:• MeshulLam, • MalLuch, • AdaiJah, • JaShub, • SheAl, and • RamOth.30From the sons of PahathMoab there was:• Adna, • ChelAl, • BenaiJah, • MaAseiJah, • MatthaniJah, • BezaleEl, • BinNui, and • ManasSeh.31From the sons of Harim there was:• EliEzer, • IshiJah, • MalchiJah, • ShemaiJah, and • ShimeOn.32From BenJamin there was:• MalLuch and • ShemariJah.33From the sons of Hashum there was:• MatTenai, • MatTathAh, • Zabad, • EliPhelet, • JeremAi, • ManasSeh, and • ShiMei.34From the sons of Bani were:• MaAdai, • AmRam, • Wel, 35• BenaiJah, • BedeiJah, • ChelLah, 36• VaniJah, • MeremOth, • EliAshib, 37• MattaniJah, and • MattenAi.38There were also the sons of Bani:• ShiMei, 39• ShelemiJah, • Nathan, • AdaiJah, 40• MachNadebAi, • SharAi, • ShashAi, 41• AzareEl, • ShelemiJah, • ShemariJah, 42• ShalLum, • AmariJah, and • JoSeph.43From the sons of Nebo there was:• JeiEl, • MatithiJah, • Zabad, • Zebina, • JaDau, • JoEl, and • BenaiJah.44They had all taken foreign women for themselves that had each given birth to sons.


Keanu Gonzalez was discovered at the age of 16 when Baz Luhrmann came to his performance dance school after hearing about him. After seeing Keanu, Baz told him he should think harder about acting as a career and proceeded to cast him as the cover lead 'Scott Hastings' in the AU national tour of STRICTLY BALLROOM: THE MUSICAL (the youngest principal member of the cast/crew). After a successful 14 month run, Keanu was immediately cast by one of Australia's largest theatre companies, The Really Useful Group, to play 'Alonzo' in the Australian & New Zealand tour of CATS, which  garnered, high acclaim. Keanu has exceptional physical skills (dance, acrobatics, stage combat & martial arts).


Charles Barkley has been called a lot of things ... a lot of which we can't publish here ... but now he can add "incredibly good looking guy" to the list ... thanks to NBA commish Adam Silver.
Silver -- who was honored as one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People -- is also a proud follically challenged man ... so we asked him to pick the best bald head on the set of "Inside the NBA."
That's when Silver began to gush about Sir Chuck ... explaining that Barkley is more than just a guy with a GREAT bald head, he's also one of the best looking guys in the sport.
Eat your heart out, Shaq.

If you have played any GTA V then you may well recognise this delightful scene by Pixel Fox. It's a Dodge Power Wagon W300 with Swivel-Frame. The base is a LEGO box filled with real dirt and rocks — an unusual touch which elevates the model out of the ordinary. My favorite little detail is the Collectible Minifigure Spy rope piece used on the telephone pole.
I love the angles, lines and exposed frame on this beauty. The olive green is a good color choice as well. I don't know if it based on the British Ocelot or not, as there are similarities and differences and Cole doesn't say in his description. Regardless, Cole Blaq has created a killer off-road monster here.

'Drag Race UK:' Will There Be a Season 3 of RuPaul's Reality Series?
Julia Dzurillay
God save the queens. Hot off the heels of RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 2 and its finale, fans learned that the third season of this spinoff is already in the works. Here's what we know about future episodes of this international version of the Emmy award-winning reality series.

RuPaul created 'RuPaul's Drag Race' spinoffs like 'Drag Race UK' and 'Canada's Drag Race'
RuPaul's Drag Race is an award-winning reality competition series, kickstarting the careers of several contestants. It became so popular, in fact, that RuPaul created a few spinoffs of the series, including RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked and RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race.
There are also international versions of RuPaul's Drag Race, specifically for contestants overseas. That includes RuPaul's Drag Race UK. Additionally, released in 2020, Canada's Drag Race premiered its first season and crowned its first winner, Priyanka.
There are a few other international versions of this series, including Drag Race Thailand and Drag Race Holland, each crowning drag performers with plenty of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. One of the most recently released seasons of international Drag Race, though, was Drag Race UK season 2.

A third season of 'RuPaul's Drag Race UK' is on the way
There are some differences between the UK and American versions of this reality series, including the prize for the winner. However, RuPaul's Drag Race UK is a favorite among many fans in the United States, as well as overseas.
Fans haven't seen the last of this spinoff. On Nov. 2, 2020, RuPaul posted the open casting call on social media, confirming with fans that the third season of Drag Race UK is in the works. There's no word regarding when season 3 would premiere and how they are filming despite coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions.
RELATED: RuPaul's Drag Race UK: Who Are the 'Fan Favorites' of This First Season?
'Drag Race UK' season 2 recently crowned 'America's Next Drag Superstar'
A few months following the premiere of Drag Race UK, the second season premiered on BBC iPlayer, introducing the world to more charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. These queens competed for the crown, even though they paused due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
After weeks of competition, Ellie Diamond, Lawrence Chaney, Tayce, and Bimini Bon Boulash landed at the top. The winner was crowned and fans everywhere commended the contestants for their message of perseverance.
"I think it's great that those conversations are being seen by a wider audience," Bimini Bon Boulash said during an interview with The Guardian. "But what people have to remember is that drag was always a protest. It was always a political statement. It was about taking away those norms about gender and society, and parodying them."
More information regarding Drag Race UK season 3 will presumably be announced in the coming months. Episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race season 13 premiere on a weekly basis on VH1.

Q: How to align two svg masked images on the same line I have an svg mask and the mask works perfectly on any image in chrome but it does not allow me to align two images . When I align two images and apply the mask, it only displays 1 image and when i write a text before the image, the text hides the image.
This is my svg code
<svg width="0" height="0">
    <defs>
        <clipPath id="shape">
            <path transform="translate(0.000000,163.000000) scale(0.100000,-0.100000)" d="M373 1197 c-355 -355 -363 -363 -363 -402 0 -39 8 -47 363 -402 355
-355 363 -363 402 -363 39 0 47 8 402 363 355 355 363 363 363 402 0 39 -8 47
-363 402 -355 355 -363 363 -402 363 -39 0 -47 -8 -402 -363z" />
        </clipPath>
    </defs>
</svg>

And here is my css code
.photo_rectangle_inverse {
    height:160px;
    width:170px;
    -webkit-clip-path: url(#shape);
    clip-path: url(#shape);
}

So this is supposed to display two images but it only displays one like this

But it is normally supposed to display the mask on the two images

Here is a Jsfiddle
How to dispaly and align those two svg masked images on the same line ?
Thanks

A: You are using the SVG translate() functionality which moves a shape. This is causing the shape to not always be in exactly the right place every time.
What you need to do to fix this is to add a piece of CSS to help sort out the position. that being -webkit-transform:translateZ(1px);

.photo_rectangle_inverse {
  height: 160px;
  width: 170px;
  -webkit-clip-path: url(#shape);
  clip-path: url(#shape);
  -webkit-transform: translateZ(1px)
}
<svg width="0" height="0">
  <defs>
    <clipPath id="shape">
      <path transform="translate(0.000000,163.000000) scale(0.100000,-0.100000)" d="M373 1197 c-355 -355 -363 -363 -363 -402 0 -39 8 -47 363 -402 355
-355 363 -363 402 -363 39 0 47 8 402 363 355 355 363 363 363 402 0 39 -8 47
-363 402 -355 355 -363 363 -402 363 -39 0 -47 -8 -402 -363z" />
    </clipPath>
  </defs>
</svg>

I would also look into cleaning up the SVG path, it seems way to overly filled up considering the simplicity of the shape. I've made this myself and results in near enough the exact same outcome but with a lot less code.

* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}
.photo_rectangle_inverse {
  height: 160px;
  width: 170px;
  -webkit-clip-path: url(#shape);
  clip-path: url(#shape);
  position: relative;
  -webkit-transform: translateZ(1px)
}
<svg width="0" height="0" viewBox="0 0 160 160">
  <defs>
    <clipPath id="shape">
      <path d="M10,70 Q0,80 10,90 L70,150 Q80,160 90,150 L150,90 Q160,80 150,70 L90,10 Q80,0 70,10z" />
    </clipPath>
  </defs>
</svg>

Martha Edwards opens the door of her cabin to the arid Texas landscape outside just as her brother-in-law, Ethan Edwards, approaches on horseback. Although it is 1868, Martha, her husband Aaron, their children Debbie, Lucy and Ben, and their adopted son, Martin Pawley, have not seen Ethan since he left them to fight for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Because Martin, an earnest but friendly young man, is part Cherokee, Ethan treats him coldly, even though it was he who rescued the lad when his parents were massacred in an Indian raid years earlier. Soon after Ethan's arrival, Rev. Samuel Johnson Clayton, a captain in the Texas Rangers as well as an old family friend, announces that the cattle of local rancher Lars Jorgensen have been stolen. Although Ethan is somewhat contemptuous of Sam, he joins Martin and a posse in pursuit of the thieves. When they find that the bulls have been killed with Comanche lances, Ethan declares that what the Indians really wanted was to lure the men away from home, thereby leaving their ranches open to attack. The men head back, but it is too late, for upon their arrival at the Edwards home, they discover that everyone has been brutally murdered except for Lucy and Debbie, who have been taken by the Comanche. The posse then sets out to find the girls. On finding a fresh Comanche grave, the men unearth the body but are shocked when Ethan shoots out its eyes. According to Comanche belief, Ethan explains, this will prevent the dead man's spirit from entering the spirit lands and force him to wander forever. The next day, the Comanche raiding party, led by Chief Scar, surrounds and attacks the posse, but the rangers drive them off. When Sam refuses to pursue the Comanche, explaining that they should be allowed to bury their dead in peace, Ethan explodes, and storms away from the men, intending to continue the search on his own. Both Martin, who endures Ethan's insults for the sake of his missing sisters, and young Brad Jorgensen, who loves Lucy, insist on joining him. One day, Brad returns from a scouting mission and joyfully announces that he has seen Lucy's blue dress at a nearby Indian encampment. Ethan reveals that he found Lucy's body and covered it, then angrily warns Brad never to ask him to reveal more. Wild with grief, Brad rides into the Indian camp and is shot to death while Ethan and Martin look on in horror. One year later, Ethan and Martin visit the Jorgensen ranch, and Ethan admits to Lars that they have lost the war party's trail. Lars replies that a Texas merchant named Futterman claims to have knowledge of Debbie's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Martin confides in Lars's daughter Laurie, who is in love with the young man, his fears that Ethan may kill Debbie because of her long association with the Comanche. To Laurie's dismay, Martin then leaves to follow Ethan, who has departed without a word. The two give Futterman money in exchange for the news that Debbie is held captive by Scar. That night, Futterman tries to shoot Martin and Ethan, but Ethan kills him and his henchmen, then retrieves his money. Time passes, and Laurie, who is now being courted by the bumbling Charlie McCorry, receives her only letter from Martin. In it, he confesses that he inadvertently "bought" a squaw he named Look, who trembled when he asked her about Scar, but left him an arrow fashioned of rocks before leaving him during the night. Later, Martin and Ethan discover that Look joined the Comanche but was killed when the band was raided by the U.S. Cavalry. Ethan and Martin examine the prisoners taken during the raid, but do not find Debbie among the several white women found living with the Indians. His voice tinged with loathing, Ethan watches the women and remarks, "They ain't white anymore. They're Comanche." In a New Mexico cantina, the two searchers meet Mose Harper, a dull-witted but loyal old friend who, in exchange for the promise of a comfortable rocking chair, introduces them to Mexican Emilio Figueroa, who claims to know Scar. Emilio takes them to Scar's village, where they finally meet their elusive enemy, who explains that because his two sons were killed by white men, he has taken many white scalps in revenge. One of his wives, a young white woman, then displays some of the scalps on a pole. Later that day, Ethan and Martin are visited by the woman, who, although admitting she is Debbie, begs them to leave and states that the Comanche are now her people. Disgusted that Debbie has been "living with a buck," Ethan aims his gun at her, but Martin steps between them. At that moment, Scar attacks, and while Debbie runs back to the Indians, Ethan and Martin escape. Ethan eventually recovers from a gunshot wound received during the encounter, and the two return to the Jorgensen ranch, just as Laurie and Charlie are about to exchange marriage vows. Laurie is thrilled at the return of the man she really loves, but Charlie is angry and challenges Martin to a fight. The altercation ends amicably, and Charlie calls off the wedding. Clayton, who was planning to marry the couple, assumes his role as the local lawman and arrests Martin and Ethan for the apparent murder of Futterman. Just then, cavalry lieutenant Greenhill arrives with orders from Col. Greenhill, the flustered young officer's father. The rangers are to join the colonel in the field for a "joint punitive action" against the Comanche. Greenhill brings in Mose, who has been held captive by Scar. Injured and shaken, Mose reveals Scar's location, whereupon the men immediately prepare for a surprise attack. Worried that Debbie will be killed in the coming battle, Martin sneaks into Scar's camp to rescue her, even after Ethan reveals that one of the scalps on Scar's pole belonged to Martin's mother. When Martin enters Debbie's tent, she screams but admits that she wants to leave. When Scar appears, Martin shoots him, and Sam and the rangers attack the camp. Ethan finds Scar's lifeless body and scalps it, after which he begins to chase the frantic Debbie. As the battle rages around them, Martin tries to stop Ethan, but Ethan catches Debbie and, instead of killing her, suddenly lifts her into the air, tenderly cradles her in his arms and says, "Let's go home, Debbie." Sam and his rangers win the battle, after which everyone returns home. Ethan delivers Debbie to Mrs. Jorgensen's tearful embrace, and Laurie joyfully greets Martin, while Mose, looking on from his rocking chair, smiles. Ethan surveys the scene from the door of the house, turns around and slowly walks away.

Andrei Markov wants to stay with Canadiens
QMI Agency
Jan 14, 2014 • January 14, 2014 • 1 minute read
Defenceman Andrei Markov would like to avoid free agency and stay with the Montreal Canadiens.
Markov, who is in the final year of a three-year, $17.25 million deal he signed with the Habs in 2011, says he has started negotiations on a new contract but talks are only at the preliminary stage.
"Maybe I'm going to sign another contract tomorrow," Markov told the Montreal Gazette. "Maybe in another month. We'll see. I'd like to stay here for the rest of my career. You can see some players in their 40s who still play. I don't want to think that far. Whatever is going to happen tomorrow will happen tomorrow."
When, or if, Markov signs, he will have no one to blame for the terms of the deal. He recently parted company with his agent, Don Meehan of Newport Sports, and will negotiate the deal on his own.
Markov, 35, has five goals and 19 assists in 46 games this season.

Nune Ville and Margot Begemann
Margaretha (Margot) Begemann (* Nuenen 17-03-1841 – † The Hague 11-02-1907) is one of five daughters of Rev. Willem Lodewijk Begemann, a predecessor of Rev. Theodorus van Gogh in the period 1828-1874 . Margot is the 9th in a row of 11 children. During the period in which Vincent lives in Nuenen, the family Begemann lives in Nune Ville (built in 1874 on behalf of W.L. Begemann), the neighboring house of the Van Gogh family parsonage. There was a good relationship between both families. The knitting circle mother Van Gogh, Margot Begemann and some Protestant neighbours will regularly gather in both houses.
The house Nune Ville
After the death of W.L Begemann in 1876 and his wife Amalia Schröter in 1877 Margot remains living with Nune Ville with three unmarried sisters: Lutgera, Wilhelmina and Amalia (Sien). Margot dies on 11-02-1907 in The Hague.
Her sister Wilhelmina Begemann dies in 1922 and then enjoys the premises at the Reformed Gemeente Nuenen. Because Nune Ville is in good condition and is considered representative of the house than the neighboring parsonage from 1764, the villa is dedicated to a preacher's house in the period 1923 – 1954. The Van Gogh family buys and restores the house in 1954 from the Protestant Town, which The proceeds of the sale can also be used for the restoration of the parsonage at Berg 26. From then on, the Kloppers family lives in Nune Ville. In 2010, the last private resident left the property and the Van Gogh Foundation sells the house to the housing association Helpt Elkander in Nuenen. By 2015, Nune Ville, in the context of Van Goghjaar, has a cultural-artistic destination in the spirit of Vincent van Gogh under the name "The Vincent Affair"
Love relationship Vincent and Margot Begemann
Vincent and the (12 year older) neighbour Margot became very attached to each other. Vincent and Margot nursed Vincent's mother in the parsonage after breaking her right thigh bone on 17 January 1884 when she left the Helmond train. Thus they learned to know each other better; They often also gathered the fields in which Vincent painted …..

Office cleaning these days is something that is often being outsourced due to the many advantages it provides as compared to employing a cleaning crew or janitors who are essentially employees of the office or business wherein their main role in the office is to clean and tidy up the office space. While office-employed janitors are supposed to stay and be in the office to perform their duties every working day, there are times that you simply cannot rely on them as over time they tend to slack off or even be absent during important days.
If you are employing an in-office janitorial crew, the office not only need to provide them with benefits and bonuses, but the business office will also need to provide and supply them the cleaning tools, equipment, and other materials they need to do their job. This is actually one of the main reasons why outsourcing your office cleaning with professional commercial cleaning companies have become a much viable option.
When you get the services of cleaning companies to do your office cleaning, the office accounting no longer needs to worry about buying all the stuffs, equipment, and materials needed for cleaning. This essentially makes the work of the accounting office a bit less as spending or outflow of money for materials no longer needs to be tallied.
Depending on your cleaning requirements, you can have cleaning crew of the cleaning company to do cleaning on a daily basis, a weekly basis, every other day basis, or depending on how you see it fit. You can also request your preferred time on when the cleaning services perform their cleaning duties. A very positive aspect in outsourcing your office cleaning is that if any of the cleaning crew members is absent, the cleaning company will provide one who can fill in the spot. This ensures that you get what you pay for. Also, it helps the cleaning crew assigned to do your office cleaning be able to do their work effectively, efficiently, and in less time.
Calgary office cleaning is a cleaning service provided by highly trusted cleaning professionals from a highly reputable commercial cleaning company. Residential, commercial, industrial, and office cleaning is their trade and they are very considered professionals when it comes to cleaning. If you hire them for the cleaning services they provide, you will be assured of satisfactory results as their overall cleaning proficiency is next to none.
If you plan on hiring Calgary office cleaning for your office cleaning duties, you will have no regret hiring them as not only are they very professional in performing and accomplishing their given duties, but they are also trustworthy and reliable, an admirable aspect that greatly helps in getting peace of mind as the office or business owner.

text: Her firm stand is made clear by bumper stickers (right) on the farmhouse of Mrs. Lowell Thierer nearAlma, Kansas. The Thierers are antipark but not antipublic. They hold molasses-making festivals and run two old-time museums on their land, part of the proposed park site. Real horsepower, less harmful than wheels, serves Paul Bultsma (below), who manages South Dakota's Samuel H. Ordway,Jr., MemorialPrairie. But the tallgrass prairie, the king of prairies, became the corn belt. Became Chicago, became Des Moines, became home for 25 million people. As the homesteaders' steel plows sliced through its matted roots, it all but vanished in a ringing, tearing sound. That didn't happen in the Flint Hills of eastern Kansas, a fifty-mile-wide swath that runs north-south across the state. There the plow ran into a thin and stony soil, and so today the Flint Hills remain cloaked in prai rie and in a kind of turn-of-the-century peacefulness as well. The hills are dotted with quiet little towns like Cottonwood Falls, with its splendid French Renaissance courthouse and a main street straight out of Thornton Wilder's Our Town. The low stone walls hint of far-off New England. It remains a country of cattle, boots, and branding irons, and of stone barns and houses that seem as rooted to the land as the grass itself. Almost all these flat-topped hills are wrapped around limestone, deposited by an ancient sea more than 200 million years ago. Embedded in the limestone are nodules of flint, which give the region its name. Here environmentalists are pressing for a Tall grass Prairie National Park. A proposal to be presented to the U. S. House of Represen tatives seeks a park of 320,000 acres, split into three parcels. It would fill a gap in the National Park System, which contains no significant reserve of tallgrass prairie.

Donner Lake is less than 100 miles from Sacramento. I have now travelled up to Donner Lake four times this year: twice in winter, twice in summer.
The Sierra Nevada Mountains has played an historic obstacle in settling California. One famous example is the tragic story of the Donner Party. Following bad advice about a short cut, and an early October snow in 1846, strand an unprepared group of pioneers. This tragedy ends with cannibalism for survival. Only half of the original emigrants made it to California. The top of the rock base represents the amount of snowfall that the Donner Party encountered. The pass through the Sierras was renamed for the Donner Party.
Plaque lists members of the Donner Party that perished and those that survived. Plaque attached to the north face of the fireplace from the Murphy cabin.
Visiting during the snowy winter and imagining the area without the modern highway system the area looks daunting.
Snow covered cabin provides an idea of how much snow can fall in the Sierras.
Beautiful view, but slippery road.
Winter driving can be treacherous. The snow shed used to cover the railroad track are visible from the road.
The Sierra Nevada Mountains created the most challenge to connected the continent.
I see a profile of a person's face.
The hardest part of connecting the transcontinental railroad lay in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This is the first time I visited the Summit Tunnel, Tunnel #6. Walking through the tunnels built by the Central Pacific Railroad to connect east with west, it is hard to believe that the Chinese laborers hand drilled through 1,659 feet the Sierras in 15 months between 1866- 1867. It was dangerous work placing first black powder, and running out in time. The debris then had to be removed. Later nitroglycerin was used: more unstable, but more powerful. Many workers did not survive. The hard work of tunneling through granite, the blasting, and the risk of avalanches in the deep snow, and freezing temperatures contributed to much loss of life. Work was finally completed in August 1867.
Walking into the tunnel I felt drops of water hitting my head. Dressed with a jacket, armed with a flashlight, prepared with my tripod I start walking. Pretty flat terrain, so a flashlight is just a security measure.
Textures and colors grab my attention.
Compare this image with the next one processed with HDR. Do you have a preference?
Many families hike through the Summit Tunnels in the Spring.
This is a good location to utilize HDR (high dynamic range) technique. I already had my tripod, and the lighting ranged from dark to light. After shooting 5 images with different f-stops I brought my images into Photomatrix Pro 5. This takes the best from each image and merges them together for this affect.
I always look for puddles and reflections.
Captured a puddle reflections in the snow shed.
Another reflection from a different angle.
The tracks not covered by the mountains had snow sheds built to keep the deep snow off the tracks.This was sometime successful, other times mother nature wins.
I like the light coming from the snow shed door.
Snow sheds erected to keep snow off the tracks. These tunnels are often not accessible in the winter.
In the spring and summer the area attracts families, hikers, and photographers. This is a good place to visit to get out of the Sacramento heat.

Graffiti has found a home. Some are artistic, some just making a statement that they were there.
One abstract photo of the snow shed ceiling.

A last look at Donner Lake in the summer months.
This area is amazing, and I will be back to take in more of the beauty, and history of this area that is only an hour and a half from my home.

Man treated for smoke inhalation in caravan fire
Firefighters from Woking, Walton and Chertsey were called to the Rose Park site where a caravan was left completely gutted by the fire
Russell Butt
The gutted caravan at Rose Park
A mobile home was razed to the ground in a fire that shattered the tranquility of a quiet Sunday afternoon in Row Town.
Firefighters from Woking, Walton and Chertsey were called to the Rose Park site around 3pm on September 29 following first reports of the fire.
The 14-metre unit was well ablaze when the fire engines arrived and firefighters fought the flames, then remained on the scene until 7pm to make sure it would not reignite. But by this point, the home had been destroyed.
Watch commander Andy Manship of Chertsey fire station said: "One man received treatment from ambulance crews for smoke inhalation.
"The crews worked extremely hard to stop the fire from spreading to nearby static caravans. They had the fire under control very quickly."
The owners of Rose Park declined to comment.
