Ephesians 4:1-16 Biblical Commentary:
THE CONTEXT:
In chapters 1-3, Paul outlined the blessings associated with being a child of God. In chapters 4-6, he outlines the responsibilities associated with that status.
Verses 1-16 (especially verse 1) set the tone for the rest of this letter.
EPHESIANS 4:1-3. WALK WORTHILY OF THE CALLING
1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,2with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love; 3being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
"I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord" (v. 1a). Earlier, Paul mentioned being "the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles" (3:1). Paul was imprisoned on several occasions—initially in Philippi by the high priest and Sadducees (Acts 5:17-18; 21:27-30), but later (at the instigation of Jews) by the Romans (Acts 16:19ff; 21:31ff). The Romans took him via Caesarea (Acts 24:1ff) to Rome (Acts 28:11ff). Later in this letter, Paul will describe himself as "an ambassador in chains" (6:20).
If Paul was the author of this book, he probably wrote it from his imprisonment in Rome. If Paul wasn't the author, as some scholars believe, the book was probably written in the last third of the first century by someone close to Paul.
"beg you to walk worthily of the calling (klesis) with which you were called" (v. 1b). This is the central theme of the rest of this letter—an appeal to live up to the high calling to which God has called them.
Klesis (calling) means a call or an invitation. The New Testament uses klesis to speak of God's invitation to become a member of the kingdom of God—to experience adoption into God's family—to gain salvation and the hope of life eternal.
Having been invited by God to a high calling, these Christians need to "walk worthily of the calling." Both Old and New Testaments use the word "walk" as we would use the word "live." In other words, Paul is pleading with these Christians to live their lives in accord with their Godly calling.
What would it entail to "walk worthily of the calling with which you were called"? A complete answer would fill many pages, but Jesus gave an excellent summary statement:
"'You shall LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD with all your heart.. (and)
'You shall LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR as yourself.'
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
(Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 12:29b-31; see also Luke 10:27)
"with all lowliness" (tapeinophrosyne) (v. 2a). Lowliness is not often seen as a virtue today. We prize assertiveness rather than lowliness. However, as Christians, we are called to emulate Christ, who "existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross" (Philippians 2:6-8).
"and humility" (prautetos) (v. 2b). Prautetos (humility) is the kind of graceful spirit that comes from a deep faith that God is good and will prevail in the end. We might talk about such a person as the strong, quiet type.
"with patience" (makrothymia) (v. 2c). The word makrothymia suggests endurance or steadfastness rather than a passive kind of waiting. It withstands adversity without quitting. It endures opposition without striking out at the opponent—or, at least, without striking out too quickly or violently. It possesses the strength of rock-steadiness.
"with one another in love"(agape) (v. 2d). The word anechomenoi means "to bear" or "to endure" or "to exercise patience or restraint."
Every relationship requires bearing, enduring, and exercising patience or restraint. That is true in marriages. It is true in churches. It is true in friendships. It is true in work environments.
A cautionary note: We should not suggest that people bear with one another in every circumstance. Parents should not bear unacceptable behavior by their children. Victims of spouse or child abuse will need to escape from the situation when danger dictates that. When dealing with an alcoholic or drug addict, "bearing with one another" often becomes co-dependency and enabling behavior. Alcoholics and drug addicts don't need enablers. They need people to confront them and to demand change.
But even when dealing with unacceptable behavior, we can act in agape love—a concern for the well-being of the other person. That might involve tough love—setting standards and refusing support until the person meets the standard—but there is no requirement for agape love to be soft and cuddly on all occasions.
"being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (v. 3). The lowliness, humility, patience, and love that Paul urged in verse 2 will make it possible to "keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
The Holy Spirit makes unity possible. "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit…. There are many members, but one body" (1 Corinthians 12:13, 20).
In his first letter to the Corinthian church, Paul talked about the diversity of members in the body of the church (1 Corinthians 12:14-17). He likened the diversity of the church to our physical bodies, which have hands and feet and ears and eyes. We can imagine what life would be like if these body parts were at war with each other. We wouldn't be able to accomplish even the smallest tasks—walking a straight line or picking up a sandwich. It would be a miserable existence. So also, in the church, disunity equates to dysfunction.
But unity in the church doesn't come easily. We must rely on the Spirit to make it possible to work together harmoniously "in the bond of peace."
EPHESIANS 4:4-6. ONE
4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (vv. 4-5). The key word for verses 4-6 is "one." These verses continue the emphasis on unity begun in verse 3.
The body mentioned here is the church.
If you were reading these verses aloud, where would you place the emphasis? Would it be one BODY, one SPIRIT, one LORD, one FAITH, one BAPTISM, one GOD? That's how I would usually read a list like this.
But these verses call for a different approach: ONE body, ONE spirit, ONE lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God—because the emphasis is not the diversity of gifts but the fact that all believers share them.
"one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all" (v. 6). The foundational creed for Israel was "Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one: and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might" (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).
This is the key to our unity. We believers might see things very differently, but we have one Godly Father whom we worship and who directs our lives.
The "all" in this verse, in its original context, would have meant Jews and Gentiles, but in our world today would mean black and brown and white—Asian, Indian, and American. However, it would not mean all people, but rather all believers.
EPHESIANS 4:7-10. HE WHO DESCENDED ALSO ASCENDED
7But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men." 9Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
"But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ" (v. 7). In verses 4-6, Paul emphasized our unity. Now he acknowledges our diversity—the grace given to each of us—distinctive grace made to measure, just as a custom-tailored suit is made to measure.
In his letter to the church at Rome, Paul spells this out in more detail:
"For even as we have many members in one body,
and all the members don't have the same function,
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ,
and individually members one of another.
Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us,
if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
or service, let us give ourselves to service;
or he who teaches, to his teaching;
or he who exhorts, to his exhorting:
he who gives, let him do it with liberality;
he who rules, with diligence;
he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness" (Romans 12:4-8).
"Therefore he says, 'When he ascended on high'" (v. 8a). Paul is quoting Psalm 68:18, which says, "You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among men."
In its original context, this psalm celebrated victory over God's enemies—and a triumphal procession bringing the spoils of victory, including prisoners, up Mount Zion to the temple, the dwelling place of God.
Paul relates this verse to Christ, who "ascended on high…, led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."
Earlier, Paul gave more detail about this ascension. God "raised (Christ) from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all" (1:20-23).
"he led captivity captive" (v. 8b). As noted in the comments on verse 8a above, Psalm 68 pictured a triumphal procession. Now Paul uses that imagery to picture Christ's triumphal procession with freed prisoners in tow.
I love the expression, "he led captivity captive." I must confess that I have not found a great deal in commentaries to help me with this phrase, but I envision Christ breaking into the spiritual prison in which these people were imprisoned—opening the doors to set them free—and throwing away the keys.
Paul told the Roman church, "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death" (Romans 8:2). That's the sort of thing that this Ephesians verse celebrates.
"and gave gifts to men'" (v. 8c). This has occasioned lots of scholarly comment, because Psalm 68 says, "You have received gifts"—not "you gave gifts." Some think that Paul misquoted the psalm. Others cite the Syriac Peshitta manuscript which says, "You have given gifts." Still others think that God received gifts to redistribute them to his people. However, there is no definitive solution to this textual problem.
"Now this, 'He ascended,' what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?" (v. 9). Verses 9-10 have also occasioned lots of scholarly comment.
• Some people pair this verse with 1 Peter 3:19-20, which says that Jesus, "went and preached to the spirits in prison, who before were disobedient." They believe that Jesus descended into hell in the time between his crucifixion and the time of his resurrection.
This understanding is incorporated into the Apostles' Creed, which says that Jesus "was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father."
But is that the meaning of this verse? Possibly, but not certainly.
• Some believe that descended and ascended refer to the Incarnation. The best expression of this idea is found in Philippians 2:5-11, where Paul says that Christ Jesus existed in the form of God, but "didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped." He "emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
I prefer this understanding of this verse, but acknowledge that both of these theories have merit.
"He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens" (v. 10a). While Biblical references to the heavens sometimes refer to the sky above the earth (Genesis 9:13-17) or outer space (Genesis 1:14), they more often refer to the dwelling place of God (Psalm 102:19; Isaiah 63:15; 66:1)
The phrase, "all the heavens" is interesting. The Jewish people believed in as many as seven heavens. Paul talked about a man who was "caught up into the third heaven" (2 Corinthians 12:2).
"that he might fill all things" (v. 10b). Earlier, Paul said that God "put all things in subjection under (Christ's) feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the (church), which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all" (1:22-23).
Christ has the power to "fill all things"—to meet all needs—to give each person the grace needed (v. 7).
EPHESIANS 4:11-14. VARIOUS GIFTS FOR THE PERFECTING OF SAINTS
11He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers; 12for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
"He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers" (v. 11). This is one of five lists of this sort in the New Testament (Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, 28-30; 1 Peter 4:10-11). None of these lists are the same. There is substantial overlap, but there are also a number of gifts that are found only in one or two of the lists.
• Apostle means "one who is sent." The apostles served as God's ambassadors.
• Prophets act as messengers—telling people what God wants them to know.
• Evangelists proclaim the Gospel.
• Shepherd-pastors take care of sheep. The word shepherd was used metaphorically in both Old and New Testaments to speak of caring leadership (Psalm 23; John 10).
• Teachers instruct people in sound doctrine (1Timothy 1:8-11; 2 Timothy 3:16; Titus 1:9)
"for the perfecting (katartismos) of the saints" (v. 12a). The word katartismos means to complete or to perfect or to make ready. The work of the apostles, prophets, etc. (v. 11) is for the purpose of preparing the saints for the lives they/we are to live and the work they/we are to do.
"to the work of serving" (diakonia)" (v. 12b). Our culture prizes taking, but Christ prizes serving. He said, "Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant" (Matthew 20:26; see also Matthew 23:11). Paul called Christ a servant (Romans 15:8) and himself a servant (1 Corinthians 3:5, 9; 2 Corinthians 6:4; Ephesians 1:23).
This call to service is one of scripture's many Great Reversals. The Beatitudes are a series of reversals (Matthew 5:1-12). Jesus says, "So the last will be first, and the first last" (Matthew 20:16).
"to the building (oikodome) up of the body of Christ" (v. 12c). The Greek word used here, oikodome, is usually associated with the building trades—with the construction of a house or a tower or a barn. The work of the apostles, prophets, etc. (v. 11) is for the purpose of providing Christians a sturdy foundation and strong walls and a solid roof so that they might survive the storms that will buffet them—and the temptations that will threaten them.
"until we all attain to the unity of the faith" (pistis) (v. 13a). In this context, pistis (faith) has to do with doctrine—the body of Christian doctrine. The purpose of Christian nurture is to school believers in the revealed truths so that they might be united in their beliefs.
"and of the knowledge (epignosis) of the Son of God" (v. 13b). There are two Greek words for knowledge—gnosis (general knowledge) and epignosis (a knowledge of moral values). It is the stronger of the two words that is used in this verse.
"to a full grown (teleios) man" (v. 13c). The word teleios is sometimes translated perfect, but the idea here is maturity—being a full-grown adult.
While children are charming, adults who have never outgrown their childish ways are less so. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things" (1 Corinthians 13:11). The goal of Christian nurture is that believers might grow into mature spiritual people.
"to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (v. 13d). This is the goal of Christian nurture—that we become like Christ.
"that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error" (v. 14). We begin life with limited ability to assess possible trickery. As we grow, we attain experience (often the hard way) that makes us wiser and better able to resist temptation. The goal of Christian nurture is to ground us doctrinally so that we can stand our ground when others seek to derail us.
EPHESIANS 4:15-16. MAKES THE BODY INCREASE
15but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ; 16from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
"but speaking truth in love" (agape) (v. 15a). It is a great challenge to speak the truth in agape love—the kind of love that puts the welfare of the other person first. One temptation is to speak the truth so sharply that it wounds rather than heals. The opposite temptation is to avoid conflict by avoiding difficult conversations.
Speaking the truth in love is a Godly thing. Truth spoken in love stands a chance of being heard, whereas truth spoken without love is almost certain to be rejected. One of the goals of Christian nurture (vv. 11-13) is that we come to a point where we can speak the truth in love.
"we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ" (v. 15b). What are the "all things" in mind here? The virtues mentioned in verse 2 would certainly apply: Lowliness, humility, patience, love, unity, and peace. Unity, faith, and knowledge of the
Son of God (v. 13) would also apply. None of these things is likely to come to us easily. At best, we will spend our lives growing into spiritual maturity.
We are Christ's body (1 Corinthians 12:27), and Christ is the head of the body. We need to grow until the body of Christ is in keeping with the head.
"from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies (dia pas ho epichoregia haphe—by every supporting joint), according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love" (agape) (v. 16). The body mentioned here is the church—the body of Christ, who is the head of the church.
The individual parts are connected by joints or ligaments that make it possible for them to work together.
In verse 11, Paul mentioned apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers—some of the members of the body. In 1 Corinthians 12:14-17, he talked about our human bodies having many members—feet, hands, ears, eyes, noses—each of those members being vital to the welfare of the body at large. So also, each member of the church is important to the church—Christ's spiritual body.
Therefore, it is important for us to respect each individual member of the body of Christ. We need to insure that each believer is enabled to contribute according to the gifts given them—and that the multiplicity of gifts are "fitted and knit together" to serve the whole.
As we know from our physical bodies, we cannot grow strong if our body parts are in rebellion—if they are fighting one another. Perhaps the best examples of this are autoimmune diseases, where the body loses its ability to distinguish between foreign substances (which the immune system needs to attack) and one's own body (which the immune system needs to leave intact).
In like manner, the church cannot grow strong if the individual members are not working in harmony. As anyone who has been involved in the leadership of a congregation knows, working harmoniously is harder than it sounds. The only way we can do it is by acting in agape love—love that focuses on the well-being of the other person. That kind of love makes it possible for us to hold our tempers when things don't go our way—and to maintain harmonious relationships even with our opponents. It makes it possible for us to avoid selfish, self-destructive behaviors.

Does this kill vehicle contains momentum wheels? Watch how it moves!
This comment below this answer about 'spacecraft' or at least 'craft' that can maneuver near the surface of low gravity bodies links to this video about Lockeed Martin's Multiple Kill Vehicle.
If I understand correctly it is designed to operate for a short time (destructively) in space, but this test happens on Earth, presumably in normal atmosphere. I don't know the size but Gizmodo says it was at an altitude of 23 feet.
I see a "main" thruster to maintain altitude (in the test, against Earth gravity), and a "left" and "right" thruster for translation and stopping, and four diagonal thrusters for "fine positioning", perhaps? Although the axes of the top pair meet above the spacecraft axis, and that of the bottom pair meet below, so perhaps they add translation and torque simultaneously?
No matter though, it looks like all thrusters lie within a single plane of symmetry.
The attitude seems quite stable throughout, even after falling and landing. By the way it moves, does it look like it has rotating intertia wheels of some kind, to maintain attitude?
above: GIF made from frame numbers 300 to 326 extracted from this YouTube video.
above: GIF made from frame numbers 459 and 460 extracted from this YouTube video.
above: Lockeed's Martian Multiple Kill Vehicle - cropped from here.
The thruster configuration can be seen better in this image: (cropped from this document ).
The attitude control thrusters are not in plane with the direction control thrusters. This Raytheon patent on MKVs states that "attitude control system includes multiple thrusters offset from the center of gravity that provide yaw, pitch and roll control." All four of them are offset towards the aft, and the top and bottom pair are offset from the roll-axis. Firing one thruster provides torque on all three body axes, firing a second one compensates two of these axes and enforces the third.
This does not rule out that reaction control wheels are used in addition. This older video mentions that the platform is "gyroscopicly balanced", which probably means that an IMU is used as guidance input.
However the design objective of this device is to have many vehicles with independent steering at low cost and effort. This makes it feasible to choose such a simple thruster arrangement and put the burden on the guidance system (hard- vs. software). It is unlikely that reaction control wheels are employed from this perspective.
I can only see 2 sets of engines used: Strong main engines (one on each surface) for up and side movement and 4 RCS ports for stability.
As I viewed the video, I saw it was firing 2 RCS ports in almost each spot to maintain the position. This does indicate to me, that the whole stability is achieved by those RCS ports, as the sum of 2 orthogonal ports firing at the same time gives us a force along the mid of that angle between.
To fight or induce a roll, just one of the ports would need to open or stays open a split moment longer.
As this device seems to aim to be used in space, I would deem inertia wheels harmful even: the use of many moving parts in a device operating in a 3K environment (space) needs a very reliable method to reduce friction on permanently used parts like the axis of the inertia wheels. Such a method that also works equally good in a 0G environment I don't know of, indeed, a dry grease resulted in a catastrophic failure of a rover prototype.
The different engines this device will need for mobility already demand the use at least the same ammount of motors or electric valves for the main engines and RCS ports to work and several more.
However, I see some problems as that machine on the video does not yet seem to have a front/back engine set and lack RCS to control Pitch/Yaw too.
As you can see in this older video, the main thrusters at center of mass (probably 4, but the upper one never fires; no need for it due to gravity pull) - are used for translation (dorsal/ventral; port/star) . Four smaller diagonal thrusters are used to provide pitch and yaw stabilization. There doesn't seem to be any fore/aft control because this being an interceptor/impactor it will be traveling in the 'fore' direction with as high a speed as the delivery vehicle can provide, no need to regulate it. The only remaining axis is roll, and it seems like indeed it's either maintained by a (single) reaction wheel - or not maintained at all - the device could roll and simply another thruster would take over given direction, but the test takes too short for that to matter. Alternatively the thrusters for it are minimal - comparing the thrust necessary to maintain roll comparing to other axis, they may be too minimal to notice their activity.

Princess C has been at school since last September and is fast approaching the end of Reception. We can barely believe that it's been that long, and that we're now looking towards Year 1 with our little girl and wondering what new things she'll learn, what new quirks she'll have to deal with and most of all how much she'll miss her current teacher (luckily all her friends are moving up with her so that does make the transition a little easier).
We feel so lucky that it's all been a relatively smooth ride, bar a few of those mornings where Princess C is ultra clingy and doesn't want to be there (thankfully with her brilliant support teachers and of course her current teacher, there's always someone there with a cuddle and a distraction to help her settle).
Year 1 is where the kids start to knuckle down a bit. There is still play (hooray!), there's still only reading homework plus a few worksheets here and there, and hopefully the kids will still get to go outdoors like they currently do. I think we made the right decision on where she ended up when quite off her own back, she said how much she was looking forward to Year 1 and how she wanted it to start RIGHT NOW!
Things could've been so different. Thinking back a year, at how we'd only just found out we'd got a place at this school and how stressful the year preceding that news was, it was a horrible time and probably one that's all too familiar to parents these days. If you're going through that now, you have my utmost sympathy. It's not fun, we know.

Eagles opposing player to stop, Divisional Playoff Round edition
By JosephSantoliquito Jan 20, 2023, 4:21pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Eagles opposing player to stop, Divisional Playoff Round edition
Chris Pedota-USA TODAY Sports
Daniel Jones has not been a walkover for the Eagles throughout his four-year career.
He's one Evan Engram drop from having a winning record against the Eagles and is coming off a playoff debut in which he had arguably the best game of his young NFL career, throwing for 301 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for another 78 yards, the most by a Giants' quarterback in their storied postseason history.
In the Giants' 31-24 Wild Card round upset at Minnesota last weekend, Jones did what no other quarterback ever accomplished in NFL postseason history by throwing for over 300 yards, with at least two touchdowns, and rushing for over 70 yards. In other words, Jones had a "Jalen Hurts game."
Can Jones, who's 2-3 against the Eagles, do it again?
Giants' coach Brian Daboll may be the best coach in the NFC East. Eagles' defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon has great familiarity with Jones. It may not mean anything, if Daboll and Jones have a new scheme. Jones has improved by multiple levels under Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.
"Every game is different, but they are a familiar opponent," Gannon said. "We're preparing like we do any other game, whether it's a team that we've played a couple times or a team that we haven't played. We go through our full process. You can use the previous games as a tool but know that they're going to have different things for us, and we'll have some different things for them. It's a new game, especially going into the playoffs it's a new game, a new season so we'll be ready to go.
"(Jones) played extremely well (against Minnesota). Their offense was clicking on all cylinders. He made a lot of plays, a lot of throws. He used his legs at the right times to extend drives and get some first downs. We know just like anybody we go against that the skill set of everybody that we're playing against, how they use those guys and what we have to be aware of and what we have to have a plan for. Yeah, he played extremely well that game, and it's one of the major reasons why they're playing us on Saturday night."
The Giants are supposed to be a grinding team that consumes time with long drives. Yet, New York's first three possessions against Minnesota that resulted in touchdowns came on drives of five, four and six plays. The template, however, the Jones and the Giants are going to need to follow came on the Giants' third drive of the game, when they ate 10 minutes, 52 seconds off the clock on a marathon 20-play, 85-yard drive. Granted, New York couldn't close, forced to settle for a field goal, but the series kept the Vikings' potent offense off the field and converted four third downs. On two of those third downs, Jones completed two passes for a combined 14 yards, while he ran for a combined to rush for 20 yards on the other two third-down conversions out of the shotgun.
What the Eagles may see Saturday night is a version of their offense thrown right back at them with Jones' running ability, which was always there, coupled with his new-found passing touch, which was not.
While the NFL world was looking at the vast improvement made by Hurts in a year, Jones has quietly and steadily evolved into who the Giants thought they were getting when they drafted him with the No. 6 overall pick out of Duke in 2019. It's taken some time to get here, but Daniel Jones has arrived—and he'll be at Lincoln Financial Field with something Jalen Hurts has yet to achieve in his young NFL career, a playoff victory.
Road teams in NFL Divisional Playoff games have won four of the last five games, dating to Tampa Bay's win at New Orleans in the last contest of the 2020 Divisional Round. The Eagles, though 14-3, have struggled down the stretch between the Hurts and Lane Johnson injuries, to a fatigued offensive line manifested by the plague of false start and ineligible-players-downfield penalties.
Another quality Daniel Jones' start married to the Eagles' continued slide could erupt in a surprise on Saturday night.


Researchers led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have worked out how a crucial cancer-related protein, a "histone writer" called Ezh2, plays a role in suppressing as well as driving the most aggressive form of the brain tumour medulloblastoma.
Ezh2 is a histone writer, an enzyme that can tag or label other proteins in a way that turns off genes. The new findings, which appear online in Cell Reports, show that unlike in some earlier studies where the protein helped to advance disease, Ezh2 can also suppress cancer. This dichotomy has implications for the potential use of drugs intended to inhibit this enzyme, some of which are being tested in clinical trials.
The enzyme looked at in this study is the histone H3K27 mono-, di- and trimethylase of polycomb repressive complex 2, or Ezh2 for short. This histone writer adds methyl groups to specific histone proteins leading to epigenetic modifications that affect gene expression. The team used CRISPR gene editing to knock out the activity of the protein in a mouse model. Loss of function of this protein due to gene editing resulted in acceleration of the development of medulloblastoma tumours.
Medulloblastoma, which starts in the cerebellum of the brain at the base of the skull, is the most common malignant brain tumour of childhood, accounting for about 20% of all childhood brain tumours. Grade 3 medulloblastoma is one of the most aggressive forms of the tumour and accounts for almost 33% of cases. The researchers used a mouse model that allowed them to study similar tumours in an experimental system.
The new work revealed that several proteins are involved in the development of medulloblastoma tumors–the well-known oncogene Myc, the histone writer Ezh2 and another protein known as Gfi1.
"It appears that a conspiracy among three proteins is required to drive this most aggressive form of medulloblastoma, but the precise details of interaction still need to be worked out," said co-author Charles J. Sherr, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the St. Jude Department of Tumor Cell Biology and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator.
By inactivating Ezh2 in Group 3 medulloblastoma, the researchers were able to implicate Gfi1. Cancer was enhanced when Ezh2 declined and Gfi1 increased.
"Earlier work revealed that two genes, Gfi1 and Gfi1b, cooperate with Myc to promote the development of Group 3 medulloblastoma," said Paul Northcott, Ph.D., a study author and assistant member of the St. Jude Department of Developmental Neurobiology.
"The new study further substantiates the tumorigenic role of Gfi1 in medulloblastoma, and reveals that this oncogene is normally repressed by Ezh2. The loss of this regulation by Ezh2 'releases the brakes' on Gfi1 and leads to uncontrolled cell growth.
advanced forms of cancer. Proteins that act as molecular switches for cancer are emerging as attractive targets for new drugs. Ezh2, which acts as an epigenetic switch, is no exception. Scientists have succeeded in developing potent inhibitors of this protein that put the brakes on cancer in early preclinical and phase I/II studies. The new findings suggest that inhibiting Ezh2 could be counterproductive for cancer treatment in certain situations.
Scientists have known that Ezh2 behaves in different ways depending on the specific type of cancer. The new system will be able to tease out the details of how the different proteins drive medulloblastoma development.
"The model system we have developed will be extremely useful to reveal the mechanisms that cause this cancer to progress and to study the different options for potential therapeutic interventions before proceeding to more advanced preclinical studies," Roussel said.
The other authors are BaoHan Vo, Chunliang Li, Ilan Theurillat, David Finkelstein, Shaela Wright, Judith Hyle, Stephanie Smith, Yiping Fan, Yong-Dong Wang, Gang Wu, and Brent Orr, all of St. Jude; and Marc Morgan and Ali Shilatifard, both of Northwestern University.
The research was funded in part by grants (CA096832, CA21765) from the National Institutes of Health, HHMI and ALSAC, the fundraising arm of St. Jude.
Article: Inactivation of Ezh2 Upregulates Gfi1 and Drives Aggressive Myc-Driven Group 3 Medulloblastoma, Martine F. Roussel et al., Cell Reports, doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2017.02.073, published 21 March 2017.


B. Aires / Madrid - Octobrer 31, 2018. "Many times in medicine you have to deal with uncertainty, and that is the gray spectrum; learning to handle shades of gray is the art of medicine." These words were said by Dr. José Manuel Mella, a coeditor of Practicum Script in the area of Gastroenterology. The Argentine physician, who graduated from the University of Buenos Aires (where he is now an associate professor), argues that "as you see more patients, you find (...) easier ways to solve the same problem." The simulator "gives (the individual) an opportunity to see what the first thing is that comes to mind in a situation, verify if there are wiser choices compared to those of the experts, (...) and challenge his thinking with new information." Its equivalent in real life would be to do rounds, in which a physician presents the patient's progression and compares or complements his vision with that of an entire team of professionals.

Tommy's happy just to know you like his new tune
Innerleithen singer/songwriter Tommy Ashby has released the first single from his upcoming 'Lay Low' EP, in which he duets with Bad Honey singer Lydia Clowes.
By Kevin Janiak
Thursday, 11th March 2021, 2:27 pm
Tommy Ashby duets with Lydia Clowes in his upcoming EP.
'Happy Just To Know' has garnered much critical acclaim, and it's even been chosen by Dutch supermarket PLUS for its major television advertising campaign.
It's a delightfully buoyant indie-folk song, peppered with Tommy's signature spacey atmospherics throughout. The two vocals dance and swirl beautifully in tandem to completely immerse the listener in a blossoming love story.
The lyrics also include echoes that will ring true for anyone who has lived through the past 12 months of the Covid-19 pandmemic, perhaps missing loved ones.
Tommy Ashby and Lydia Clowes.
Tommy, who has a PHD in psychoacoustics, told us: "'Happy Just To Know' was written at the end of February 2020.
"I'd just moved in with my girlfriend and relocated to the Suffolk coast.
"Coming out of winter felt like a new beginning, but at the same time coronavirus was becoming pretty scary.
"I wanted to write a song about finding a true connection with someone and how that feeling evolves over time … I also wanted to draw reference to the changing of seasons along the way.
"The pandemic has made it apparent just how much we as humans value physical contact and interactions.
"Loneliness has been so prevalent and has made us re-evaluate all the things we took for granted.
"Since this is a song about the start of a relationship, I thought it would be interesting to get both points of view across on the vocals.
"It's funny that everyone is nervous at the beginning of a relationship and we just don't need to be."
About the collaboration with Lydia, Tommy added: "We've been playing together as session musicians for years.
"I've never seen anyone make singing beautifully look so effortless.
"I'd been meaning to ask Lydia to collaborate for an age, but it had never quite worked out until lockdown stopped all session musicians in their tracks."
Tommy and Lydia also had a cameo in Will Ferrell's 2020 Netflix movie 'Eurovision'.
The EP is out on May 14.
Tommy has a PhD in Psychoacoustics. The accolade which has given him a deep understanding of how the brain processes sound has been used to great effect whilst producing his own tracks over the last 12 months. Evolving his sound in a makeshift studio and skipping between instruments, as well as experimenting with unconventional vocal sounds, or hitting the wall for a specific sound effect.
Tommy's creative energy and songwriting continue to draw inspiration from the countryside, he grew up writing and playing music in the wilds of Scotland and a move to the Suffolk coast in 2020 with its expansive beaches and big open skies has certainly stamped its mark on Tommy's new EP.
Tommy released his previous EP 'Everywhere Is Home' in July 2020. Songs from the EP received widespread media support across the UK from the likes of Clash, Scotland On Sunday and The Scottish Sun and amassed over 3.3 million streams online.
Releases to date have also garnered support from online media outlets such as Spindle, Louder than War, Folk Radio UK, Record Of The Day and Celebmix, as well as Fearne Cotton, Radio 2, featured in Spotify editorial and enjoyed major global syncs on Love Island, Riviera, Greys Anatomy and Silent Witness. Tommy and Lydia also had a cameo in Will Ferrell's 2020 Netflix movie 'Eurovision'.
Tommy completed his first UK headline tour at the end of 2019 and supported Luke Sital-Singh, Jamie Lawson and Allman Brown, as well as completed a tour of the USA and Canada with Tom Speight at the start of 2020. Tommy continues to keep fans entertained via live streaming performances whilst we await venues to re-open and will perform an Insta Live performance of 'Happy Just To Know' on Sunday, March 7th, with more dates to be announced.
Tommy releases his new EP 'Lay Low' on May 14th 2021.

The Best Wiring Connection For Your Car. Recently we started to wire up our Project Way Gone '66 Chevelle Wagon with a complete Painless Performance Pro Series wiring harness. We wanted to start from scratch to have a trouble free wiring system in the car.
This article on how to wire an electronic tachometer doesn't have anything to do with Project X other than that '57 is the granddaddy to Super Chevy's Chevelle.
1963 Pontiac Catalina Ventura Sport Coupe, Super Duty tribute. All body panels appear to be original with no rust issues or repair evidence that we can see.
The BDS 8 71 Blower creates the pressure. In fact, it takes a good driver to deal with the pressure of racing a straight axle Willys Coupe into the high 8's!


This is part Office Communicator (OCS) and part Intelli IM. OCS sends the request to the Client that is most active. Intelli IM might be the most active client of all the clients to OCS, and it sends the chat requests to Intelli IM.

Two types of chocolate -- semisweet and cocoa powder -- give this loaf its rich flavor.
1. Bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan. Line with parchment, leaving an overhang on two long sides, then butter and flour paper.
2. Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl, stir together butter, eggs, vanilla, and zucchini. Stir into dry mixture, then fold in chocolate. Pour into pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from pan and cool completely.
3. Glaze: In a small bowl, combine sugar and milk. Whisk until smooth. Pour glaze over bread, then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Let stand until set, about 20 minutes, then cut into slices to serve. Bread will keep, unglazed, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
The cake is great with less sugar; I first did it with 1 1/3 cup; then with roughly 1 1/8 cup and it was as good as the first cake ; next time I will put 1 cup; and I skipped the frosting as too sugary and the cake was still as good. I shared it with many including my work colleagies amd it was eaten in nontime. The site didn't allow me to put a 5 stars but that is what I give it. Thanks tonthe whole team at Martha Stewart Ps I use Meatless recipes weekly!
I had trouble with the amount of batter this made. The recipe says to only use one loaf pan but I had a lot of leftover batter. Should the recipe be for 2 loaf pans?
I loved this bread! I got a lot of compliments and shared the recipe with friends. I used a meatloaf pan. The batter was almost to the top, but it worked. The bread does not rise much.
What loaf pan size did you use? The recipe calls for 10*5 pan. Or maybe did you use metric or volume method measuring ingredients..

Q: Achieve transition effect of an element using d3.js I'm moving an element from one point to another. But specifically I want to achieve this animation:
http://carto.net/svg/samples/path_animation.svg
My knowledge in d3.js are somewhat limited, I do not know how to generate this curve line and I also do not know how to do 3d perspective, in which the circle should appear, then be very small and grow and eventually become small until disappearing, as well As in the attached link. How can I do it?
http://jsfiddle.net/bzfs55bg/
      var circle = svg.append("circle")
        .attr("fill", "blue")
        .attr("r", 4)
        .attr("cx", centroids.ANTIOQUIA[0])
        .attr("cy", centroids.ANTIOQUIA[1]);

      circle.transition()
        .delay(1000)
        .duration(2000)
        .attr("cx", centroids.BOYACA[0])
        .attr("cy", centroids.BOYACA[1]);

A: My answer contain 3 main steps:
First, we have to create a path from point A to point B, simulating an arc. There are several ways to do that, and your question is not clear. Here, I'm using a quadratic curve:
var arc = svg.append("path")
    .style("fill", "none")
    .style("stroke", "yellow")
    .style("stroke-width", 2)
    .attr("d", "M" + centroids.ANTIOQUIA[0] + "," +
        centroids.ANTIOQUIA[1] + " Q" + centroids.BOYACA[0] +
        "," + centroids.ANTIOQUIA[1] + " " +
        centroids.BOYACA[0] + "," + centroids.BOYACA[1]);

This path can have a colour or be transparent, it doesn't matter.
Second, we use Bostock's famous translate along path code to translate the element along that arc. I changed the function to pass the element along with the path, so we can change its size:
circle.transition()
    .duration(5000)
    .attrTween("transform", translateAlong(arc.node(), circle.node()));
    //the second argument is the circle -----------------^

function translateAlong(path, circle) {
    var l = path.getTotalLength();
    return function(d, i, a) {
        return function(t) {
            d3.select(circle).attr("r", circleSize(t))
            //here we can change circle's size
            var p = path.getPointAtLength(t * l);
            return "translate(" + p.x + "," + p.y + ")";
        };
    };
}

Finally, I'm using a linear scale to make the circle big and small again:
var circleSize = d3.scale.linear()
    .domain([0, 0.5, 1])
    .range([4, 10, 4]);

The domain here goes from 0 to 1 because this is the range of values the parameter t can assume.
Here is the updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zkc2wton/
Here is a second fiddle, changing the opacity at the beginning and at the end of the movement: http://jsfiddle.net/4pdusase/

A: How to draw a curve line between points:
                     //draw a line
                    var curveData = [{ x: centroids.ANTIOQUIA[0], y: centroids.ANTIOQUIA[1] }, { x: centroids.BOYACA[0], y: centroids.BOYACA[0] }];
                    //make a line function
                    var lineFunction = d3.svg.line()
                          .x(function(d) { return d.x; })
                          .y(function(d) { return d.y; })
                          .interpolate("monotone");//change it as per your choice.

//make a path
var myPath = d3.select('svg').append("path")
                            .attr("d", lineFunction(curveData))
                            .attr("stroke", "blue")
                            .attr("stroke-width", 2)
                            .attr("fill", "none");

Please refer interpolation for the curves you may like here
Further moving point along a line and disappearing.
//transition along a path
  circle.transition()
      .duration(10000)

      .attrTween("transform", translateAlong(myPath.node()))
        .style("opacity",0);//transitioning the opacity to make it vanish.
// Returns an attrTween for translating along the specified path element.
function translateAlong(path) {
  var l = path.getTotalLength();
  return function(d, i, a) {
    return function(t) {
      var p = path.getPointAtLength(t * l);
      return "translate(" + p.x + "," + p.y + ")";
    };
  };
}

BRUSSELS — A European Union court on Thursday upheld a $1.4 billion fine against Intel, the Santa Clara microchip manufacturer, for abusing its dominant position in the market for computer central processing units.
EU officials assessed the fine in 2009 after determining that in 2002-07, Intel awarded rebates to computer makers if they bought exclusively or mostly Intel-made CPUs, commonly known as the brains of a computer.
Intel also made payments to computer makers if they agreed to postpone or cancel the launch of computers that contained CPUs made by a rival manufacturer, EU officials found.
Intel had sought the annulment of the decision or, failing that, a substantial reduction of the fine. On Thursday, the EU's General Court dismissed the action and upheld the findings and the fine.
