Understanding how gender plays a vital role in research and innovation allows us to address the diverse needs of citizens of the European Union. It enhances the societal relevance of the knowledge, technologies and innovations produced and contributes to the production of greater goods and services.
In light of International Women's Day celebrated on the 8th of March, the European Executive Research Agency (REA) would like to highlight, via the following Q/A, how the EU tackles gender inequalities, clarify common misconceptions around gender related terminology and help prospective applicants for Horizon Europe funding.
What is the difference between gender dimension and gender balance in research?
Gender balance is the balance between women and men in research teams who will implement a project. Horizon Europe projects should aim to have an even, 50/50 participation rate of both men and women amongst teams and leading roles. In Horizon Europe, gender balance among researchers is a ranking criterion for proposals with the same evaluation scores.
The gender dimension implies analysing and taking into account the possible differences between men and women (biological characteristics as well as the social and cultural features), boys and girls, or males and females, in the R&I content of the project. Integrating this gender dimension is now a mandatory requirement in all research and innovation projects across Horizon Europe, unless a topic explicitly specifies otherwise.
Gender equality provisions in Horizon Europe cover both aspects. For further information, see here, as well as in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide in the section dedicated to gender equality and inclusiveness.
How can we address the gender dimension in a research project?
In the R&I lifecycle, addressing sex and gender can appear challenging. However, examples in many fields show otherwise. For example, in pharmaceutical drug prescribing it can start with simple yet powerful steps, from including female and male cells, tissues and organisms throughout the testing process to reporting all data disaggregated by sex. These approaches can provide the knowledge needed to develop sex-specific dose adaptations of existing drugs, such as desmopressin or zolpidem, and may lead to sex-specific treatments in the future.
Researchers, physicians, pharmacists and patients should also consider gender differences in how symptoms are experienced and expressed. What is reported and how it is reported affect which diagnostic steps occur and which medications are prescribed.
This example and many others can be found in the EU's 'Gendered innovations 2' report. This policy report produced by the EU funded H2020 expert group on 'Gendered Innovations' provides researchers and innovators with methodological tools for sex, gender and intersectional analysis and with concrete case studies in fields of relevance for Horizon Europe.
What are the Gender Equality Plans?
With Horizon Europe, the Commission strengthened its commitment to gender equality by making the possession of a Gender Equality Plan (GEP) an eligibility criterion for all higher education establishments, research organisations, as well as public bodies from Member States and Associated Countries applying to the programme. To comply with the Horizon Europe GEP eligibility criterion, a GEP must meet four mandatory process-related requirements:
Public document: The GEP must be a formal document published on the institution's website, signed by the top management and actively communicated within the institution.
Dedicated resources: a GEP must have dedicated resources and expertise in gender equality to implement the plan.
Data collection and monitoring: organisations must collect sex/ gender disaggregated data on personnel (and students, for the establishments concerned) with annual reporting based on indicators.
Training: The GEP must also include awareness-raising and training actions on gender equality.
In addition to these four mandatory requirements, there are also five recommended content-related (thematic) areas that organisations may wish to consider in their GEP:
Gender balance in leadership and decision-making
Integration of the gender dimension into research and teaching content
Measures against gender-based violence, including sexual harassment
For further information and guidance on the GEP eligibility criterion visit: Gender equality in research and innovation | European Commission (europa.eu)
What are the main EU funding opportunities managed by REA for applicants working on gender equality?
There is specific funding for research on gender equality under Horizon Europe and the 'Widening participation and strengthening the European Research Area' Work Programme 2021-2022.
Two calls were launched in 2021: to build a centre of excellence on inclusive gender equality in Research & Innovation and a policy coordination scheme to advance the implementation of gender equality and inclusiveness objectives within EU Member States. Funding to promote gender equality is provided through other actions, for example through establishing an EU Gender Equality Competence Facility, introducing an award on gender equality champions and continuing monitoring the state of gender equality in R&I through the She Figures publication.
There are currently several Horizon Europe calls for proposals opened until 20 April, that target gender inequalities, specifically:
Under the call European Research Area (HORIZON-WIDERA-2022-ERA-01):
Living Lab for gender-responsive innovation
Support to the implementation of inclusive gender equality plans
Under the call A sustainable future for Europe (HORIZON-CL2-2022-TRANSFORMATIONS-01):
Gender and social, economic and cultural empowerment
What is REA's role in supporting Gender Equality in research and innovation?
REA has an extensive portfolio of projects funded under the Horizon 2020 Science with and for Society (SwafS) programme, supporting a critical mass of European universities, research centres and national authorities. These participating institutions became catalysts at ERA level for promoting the design and implementation of Gender Equality Plans, which now have become an eligibility criterion in Horizon Europe. Some examples of REA-managed projects that have successfully addressed gender aspects can be seen in the following:
INHABIT:
The INHABIT project is mobilising existing resources, such as culture and heritage, food, human-animal bonds, art and the environment, to boost health and wellbeing in cities. In particular, it is working on gendered landscape, integrating the gender, diversity, equality, and inclusion approach (GDEI) in urban development. To this aim, the project is providing a set of tools - such as the geographical mapping of gender urban experiences - and good practices - such as gender mainstreaming - that can guide cities in becoming more inclusive through adequate sustainable urban development.
UNISAFE:
The UNISAFE project aims to produce better knowledge on gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual harassment in research performing organisations and translate it into operational tools and recommendations for higher education, research organisations and policymakers. To achieve this goal, it proposes to investigate the mechanisms of GBV over a three year time period – social determinants, antecedents and consequences – by developing a 7P model (covering prevalence, prevention, protection, prosecution, provision of services, partnerships and policy), that will be used to collect, analyse and synthesise qualitative and quantitative data. These results will be translated into policy recommendations and a toolbox for universities and research organisations.
IMIRACLI:
The IMIRACLI project brings together leading climate and machine learning scientists across Europe with non-academic partners to educate a new generation of female climate data scientists. This Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) funds 15 PhD students across Europe in developing machine learning solutions to deliver breakthroughs in climate research. This is done by tracing and quantifying the impact of aerosol-cloud interactions from the microscale to the large-scale in our climate. IMIRACLI is fully committed to gender equality and the advancement of women's careers in science, visible in the Gender Action Plan that clearly sets out the aspiration and obligations of the entire consortium in ensuring gender equality throughout the project.

Q: MySQL status query show SSL not in use when using proxy I am connecting to GCP cloud sql instance using sql proxy.
As per my understanding using SQL proxy connections are encrypted and proxy manages SSL for users. https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/151795/how-does-google-sql-proxy-work
But when I try query "status" after successful connection to cloud sql instance using proxy,
it shows.
SSL:          Not in use
Is that expected behavior?
I have tried googling Google Cloud docs, stackoverflow but that did not help.
Note:
I am not providing ssl certificates explicitly.
When I try to explicitly give SSL certs it gives DB connection error, server does not support SSL, but without SQL proxy it works fine and status also shows SSL is being used.

A: This is an expected behavior, the SQL proxy works like a VPN, which means that each connection to SQL instances (without SSL certs) travels within a secure tunnel (using TLS 1.2 with a 128-bit AES cipher; SSL certificates are used to verify client and server identities), but when these connections reach the instances on the Google network this connections appear without SSL encryption on the instance side.
The SQL proxy tunnel only encrypts your connections from your network to your GCP project network.
In this document you can find more information about Proxy SQL and how it keep secure your connections.
Regarding your note, you can set explicitly the SSL certificates without Proxy or you can let that Proxy SQL handle the SSL certificates as is mentioned in this document, but both cases are mutually exclusive.

The presidential panel tasked with examining alleged voter fraud during the 2016 elections is renewing its request that state elections officials turn over reams of voter data.
In a letter sent to election officials this week, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R), vice chairman of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, said the panel was renewing its request for voter data after a district court rejected an effort to block the data collection.
Kobach told elections officials, many of whom raised privacy concerns when the panel first made its request, that the commission would protect voter privacy.
"The only information that will be made public are statistical conclusions drawn from the data, other general observations that may be drawn from the data, and any correspondence that you may send to the Commission in response" to detailed questions the commission sought, Kobach wrote.
"Let me be clear, the Commission will not release any personally identifiable information from voter registration records to the public," Kobach wrote.
Marc Lotter, a spokesman for Vice President Pence, who chairs the commission, said the letter is meant as a follow-up to a letter the panel sent to elections officials on July 10 suspending the initial request. That letter came after the lawsuit filed in a D.C. district court.
Secretaries of state from both parties strongly objected to the commission's initial request, made in late June, to send voter registration data including partial Social Security numbers, voting histories and criminal records. Mississippi's Republican secretary of State told the commission it could "go jump in the Gulf of Mexico."
The privacy concerns first raised by state elections officials were exacerbated when the commission released public feedback it had received — without redacting personal contact information attached to those emails.
Several secretaries of state said they were reviewing the new request, to see whether or how their states could comply.
Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney (R), whose office released the letter from Kobach's commission, said in a statement the commission had addressed privacy concerns.
A spokesman for Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan (R), whose office had rejected the Kobach commission's initial request, told the Arizona Republic the office's legal team was reviewing the new request.
Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams (R) called the privacy assurances and a promise to handle the data securely "a significant improvement" over the initial request. Williams urged the thousands of Colorado voters who had de-registered in protest of the initial request to sign up once again.
"It's my hope that citizens who withdrew their registration will re-register, particularly once they realize that no confidential information will be provided and that the parties and presidential candidates already have the same publicly available information from the 2016 election cycle," Williams said in a statement.
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D) said his office would continue to refuse to send voter data to the Kobach commission.
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R), who had been more supportive of the Kobach commission than most other state election officials, has not yet responded to the commission's new request, a spokeswoman told The Hill. The spokeswoman, Candice Broce, said Kemp's office has yet to hear whether the commission will pay the standard $250 fee to obtain voter data.
Though a federal district judge in Washington ruled against efforts to halt the commission's data collection efforts, other lawsuits are still pending. The New Hampshire chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has challenged Secretary of State Bill Gardner's plans to share voter data with the commission; that case has an initial hearing scheduled for Aug. 7 in state court in Nashua.

I wanted to honor Native Americans and their contributions to early settlers with this cake. It was their shared knowledge of agriculture and preserving crops and wild game that led to the success and sustainability of the early white settlers. Thanksgiving Celebration is a wonderful time to embrace the importance of this gift, not just for the Pilgrims but for us in this modern era. It was the Wampanoag Indians that provided most of the food during the first Thanksgiving and they signed a treaty granting the first Pilgrims the right to grow and build on the land. This is the reason behind the first Thanksgiving. The white settlers would see this as a friendship being started, knowing that without the help of the Native American Indians, they would never have survived the harsh winter. It was a time of celebrating with family and friends and being thankful. Thanksgiving will always be remembered as a time when Native Americans shared with Pilgrims. I purposely posed the figure in a kneeling position offering up his bountiful harvest. I carved red and green velvet cake, filled with cream cheese buttercream. I use the same buttercream to make the grass. The exterior of the figure, the basket full of maize and rug are made of fondant by hand and painted with gel edible colors and food markers. The super fine details were piped with royal icing, in order to use another technique and give it more texture. The head took me 3 hours to sculpted, and the entire project took me 3 days.

Steventon is a village in South Oxfordshire, approximately ten miles south of Oxford, and between the towns of Abingdon, Didcot and Wantage. There has been a settlement on the current site of Steventon for over a thousand years. The population at the 2011 census was fourteen hundred and eight five people.
This village website has been built on a voluntary basis for the Steventon Parish Council. It has been designed to provide information for the community of Steventon.


A bit late I know but I have just discovered the Wired Best Science Visualisations of 2009. There are a couple that use geographic data (of particular note is the California Earthquake simulation). The crucial advantage of animation in a scientific context is the ability to clearly cipro to buy show three dimensional information. This is never really adequately achieved in a single plot on a 2D surface. The videos set a high bar for those of us who enjoy animating complex research outcomes and are certainly inspiring.


Replevin is a legal remedy to a situation in which the plaintiff claims that the accused unjustly holds something that belongs to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff wants it back. The accused may have come to hold it in many different ways. Perhaps the plaintiff loaned it to the accused for a set period of time, and that time has gone by. Perhaps the plaintiff lost it, and the accused found it and will not return it. Perhaps someone stole it and gave it or sold it to the accused. Replevin does not imply guilt for any wrong-doing beyond holding property that the plaintiff wants back.
The use of replevin in English law goes back to at least the middle of the thirteenth century. Today, replevin laws exist all over the world as civil, not criminal, actions. A replevin action grows out of the plaintiff's inability to recover his or her property alone, so he or she turns to the justice system for help with recovery the actual property, not its monetary value.
that the plaintiff owns the property or a has legal right to possession of it.
Replevin actions occur in regard to a wide variety of materials, but here we will focus on replevin as it applies to historical documents.
Like the first example above, some states emphasize that not all records exist on paper.
With Replevin as an Established Procedure, What Will the States Do about Alienated Documents?
State laws vary greatly, and they determine the parameters an archivist has for acting on or negotiating within a replevin action. Given the authority and resources, archivists will act to retrieve alienated documents. However, the actual pursuit and prosecution must happen through the state's Attorney General's office.
Archivists understand that reclaiming documents causes a lot of pain to the holder, and they have devised a variety of ways to soften the blow. Because states do not want to pay for something they claim they already own, they may seek to compensate the holder of the materials without outwardly buying the document. Some seek out a cultural organization to buy the document and then turn around and donate it to the archives. The state may pay a 'caretaker's fee' to help cover the expense of caring for the document over time. If the holder paid for conservation or restoration work, the state may agree to cover part of that cost. Archivists will also arrange for an independent appraisal of the document and provide the holder with a document that shows that the holder donated the document to the state, thus making it possible for the donor to claim a charitable tax deduction. Many states make a point of holding highly publicized 'Coming Home' parties for the documents. They set up a display so visitors can see the documents, officials make speeches, and everyone enjoys the refreshment. For maximum exposure, archivists invite the press.
States will not accept copies of alienated public documents.
1 Menzi L. Bernd-Koldt, Navigating Legal Issues in Archives. (Chicago: Society of American Archivists, 2008), p. 169. Bernd-Koldt summarizes the legal history and procedures related to replevin as it relates to public documents.


I have a 2001 C4 Cab with 17000 mi. In ambient temperatures above 80 temp needle reads about 200-215 degrees, or about 1:00-1:30 on the gauge. Cooler ambient temps result in cooler running, although it is always above 180. Cooling fans are operative. Dealer says this is normal for the 996.Is it??

In-universe information
Willoughby is a minor animated cartoon fictional character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes series of cartoons. A lackadaisical hound dog, Willoughby is characterized by his below-average intelligence[1] and overall gullibility. Creator Tex Avery based Willoughby on the character Willie from John Steinbeck's 1937 novella Of Mice and Men. The character's name has occasionally been changed to Rosebud, Lenny, or Sylvester from cartoon to cartoon.
Created during the golden age of American animation by Tex Avery, who would voice Willoughby from 1940's Of Fox and Hounds until 1941's The Heckling Hare, the character was later voiced by Kent Rogers (1941–1942), Mel Blanc (1942–1947), Tedd Pierce (1944), and Stan Freberg (1952). Other than a cameo appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Willoughby has not appeared in any new media since 1952's Foxy by Proxy.
Willoughby first appeared in the 1940 cartoon Of Fox and Hounds. He was created and voiced by Tex Avery.[2][3] According to Chuck Jones, the character was based on Lennie, from Of Mice and Men (of which the title of Of Fox and Hounds is a knockoff).[citation needed] Critic Steven Hartley described this short as lacking in creativity, originality, excitement, and story construction, particularly compared to Avery's seminal earlier work A Wild Hare.[4]
Willoughby later appears in other Warner Brothers animated shorts, including The Heckling Hare (1941),[5] The Crackpot Quail (1941),[6] and Nutty News (1942), as the lead dog of a fox hunting party. A fundamentally similar character, Laramore, appears in To Duck or Not to Duck (1943), albeit with a fully brown coat of fur. Willoughby's brief career was essentially over before the end of World War II.
These dogs were mostly similar character design in Porky's Bear Facts (1941), Ding Dog Daddy (1942), To Duck or Not to Duck (1943), A Corny Concerto (1943), Hare Ribbin' (1944), The Goofy Gophers (1947), and possibly Inki at the Circus (1947).

Willoughby was planned to be made as a cameo in the deleted scene "Acme's Funeral" from the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He also appears with other animated characters scared when Casper the Friendly Ghost appears at the funeral.[7]

The Old Woman and the Sea
About the Covers
July 21, 2018 / Arliss Ryan / The Old Woman and the Sea
According to various surveys, Americans, and young Americans in particular, are woefully ignorant about geography. You've heard the scandalous stories: the college grads who can't name their state capital or point to their state when shown a USA map; the adults who think New Mexico is part of Mexico and that Rhode Island abuts New York. Americans are said to be even more clueless about the rest of the world, and here I do have a personal example to cite, a young man of Eric's acquaintance who burst out laughing at the idea that there was a country called Chile. They named a country after a food?
I'm sure Americans aren't the only geographically challenged people on the planet, and being separated from most of the other continents by vast oceans doesn't help. With foreign travel being logistically and financially out of reach for many Americans, studying the geography of far-off places may seem to be of no practical use. Nevertheless, I would still argue that it's important for anyone who aspires to be an informed citizen. How can you support a vote to invade Iraq or impose tariffs on China if you haven't the vaguest notion where our troops and our products are being sent?
Most of all, it's hard for me to believe that anyone who attended public school in my generation could be dense, or worse, incurious, about geography. Didn't we all take Social Studies in grades 4-6? Didn't every homeroom have a map of the United States on the wall? Surely, those black outline maps of South America that the social studies teacher peeled off from a thick pad and handed out for homework weren't exclusive to one Detroit elementary school? And what fun homework! Fill in the names of the countries and major cities, then release the Crayolas! Color Brazil red, Argentina orange, the mountains green, the rivers blue.
I love maps—can you tell?—and for a voyage like ours, they are not just fascinating but vital. Aboard Corroboree we have maps and charts that would make early sailors gasp in astonishment. Indeed, they are amazing to us. Forty years ago on Duprass a plastic sextant, paper charts, a plotter and a trusty #2 pencil summed up our navigation tools. Even with a clear horizon and a good sun sight, our calculation of our position might be off by miles. After several days of overcast, only dead reckoning and the compass kept us on course.
Now, thanks to GPS and digital technology, we know precisely where we are to within a few feet, day or night, no matter the weather, almost everywhere on Earth. Pause a moment and just think about that.
We purchase the charts through a popular app called iNavX, download them to our iPad, and open the one pertinent to our current corner of the world. We can start with an overview of, say, Tahiti to Bora Bora, then zoom in to any point in between, say, Moorea. We can zoom in even further to the anchorage at Moorea's Opunohu Bay and study the contours of the lagoon, the location of the shoals and marker buoys, the condition of the bottom (sand, mud, coral?) and the depth of the water. Once we have maneuvered in and anchored, we can set an alarm that will buzz should the anchor drag and we drift off position by as little as two boat lengths.

But GPS and iNavX deliver far more than a boat's latitude and longitude. A finger tap on the screen enables us to set waypoints from our starting point to our destination, connect them into a continuous route, and track our progress every step of the way. An information banner across the top of the screen computes and relays, second by second, our speed over ground, the distance to each waypoint in turn, and the estimated time of our arrival. If wind, weather or a change of plan causes us to veer off course, the screen immediately displays the diverging line and supplies our crosstrack error. At twilight, we press a button, and presto! The screen switches to "Night View," a special lighting that helps preserve our night vision by diminishing the daytime screen's glare.

This is not to say the GPS is infallible. Back in the Bahamas, eyes nailed to the GPS track, I was congratulating myself on piloting Corroboree straight up the center of a narrow, unbuoyed channel when she ran aground on soft mud in opaque water. No harm done and the rising tide floated her free in due course. But it drove home the lesson that even GPS can be off, and in this instance I would have done better to trust the depth sounder. Along more remote shores, the digital charts themselves exhibit warnings that certain areas are not well charted and that mariners should exercise caution.
And what if we drop the iPad overboard? That's why we have two, with duplicate apps and charts. One fits into a special holder in the cockpit above the wheel to consult while we are underway, the other stays safe on the nav table below. But what if the worldwide GPS fails? That's why, once again, we carry a sextant and paper charts and practiced with them during our crossing from Panama to the Marquesas. I love these artifacts, too, because they speak to me of the long voyages and the bravery of men and women who traversed the sea in centuries past, whether as explorers, traders, or passengers bound for a new life somewhere.
Paper chart of Moorea
Moorea for real
Today, though GPS makes navigation almost too easy, it also makes cruising exponentially safer and more accessible. Happily, there is still much geography to absorb, and Eric and I study it as we go. Before we left Panama, for example, I couldn't have told you, beyond the Marquesas, the exact order in which the South Pacific islands would rise from the sea to greet us. Now the maps have become real, and I know. When we reach New Zealand, we'll start examining charts of Australia and Southeast Asia to determine where next to go.
From time to time, I've thought of including a map with my blog posts to pinpoint where we are. But if you're reading this, you're already hooked on travel, armchair or otherwise, and curious about the rest of the globe. So while I'll continue to name and write about the beautiful, engaging places we visit and post photographs and videos, I'll refrain from including maps. Not for the world would I deprive you of the pleasure of opening an atlas or calling up a map on the Internet and discovering some new geography for yourself.

Carin Maher Traveled as Joint Distribution Committee Ambassador
Home/Sageview Cares/Carin Maher Traveled as Joint Distribution Committee Ambassador
Last month, Sageview's Vice President of Talent Acquisition, Carin Maher traveled as a Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) Ambassador to Minsk, Belarus and Tbilisi, Georgia in the former Soviet Union (FSU) to get an in-depth look at JDC's work caring for the region's elderly Jews and rebuilding Jewish communities. Carin, who personally works with her Jewish community and has worked in various Jewish organizations, also has a personal connection to the JDC, as her grandmother's family was rescued by the organization after they escaped the Ukraine in 1920. The JDC was able to bring them to New York in 1921 so this trip held some very meaningful family connections for her.
During her experience as an Ambassador in both Minsk and Tblisi, Carin went on home visits to JDC clients, met with local community volunteers, toured both cities and spent time with elderly Jews that receive support from the JDC. Throughout the home visits, time spent with JDC clients, museum and city tours, and moments getting to speak with local community leaders and volunteers, Ambassadors were able to experience how local communities empower and support their Jewish elderly, as well as see firsthand how JDC is revitalizing Jewish life in the FSU.
"I am truly honored to have made this trip. It was an amazing journey to see what life is now like for Jews in the FSU and the work of the JDC", shared Carin Maher.
The JDC is the leading Jewish humanitarian organization, working in 70 countries to lift lives and strengthen communities. They rescue Jews in danger, provide aid to vulnerable Jews, develop innovative solutions to Israel's most complex social challenges, cultivates a Jewish future, and leads the Jewish community's response to crises. For more information refer to www.jdc.org.
Sageview supports their teams taking part in programs like this, as they bring enhanced understanding of Jewish communal life both at home and abroad and the important work of the organizations that provide programs and services to the Jewish people wherever they may live. If you want to learn more about Sageview, contact Carin Maher at Carin@sageviewconsulting.com and/or 719-419-2700.

Star Trek's USS Enterprise to Re-enter Earth's Atmosphere
April 17th, 2015 by John Thomas
LinkSource
An article on People.com is causing seismic disturbances within the Star Trek community. The story reports that the team that built the model of the ship used on the show is reuniting to construct an even bigger and better version of the warp speed warrior. The move is even more momentous when you know that the first ship was bought about a decade ago by a wealthy fan and put in dry dock and taken out of circulation.
The trio behind the new project wants to build a 50% bigger version and take it to the fans. The designers state on their website, "Our damaged Enterprise is privately owned – leaving Star Trek without its greatest symbol and Star Trek fans without their beloved Enterprise. We wish to correct this travesty by building a larger, more beautiful and detailed NCC-1701 that will travel the world and always be kept on public view."
The catch? The group needs about $3 million to get the ship constructed. But you can help. Different donation levels get different perks, but if you beam them $1,000 you'll receive "unlimited VIP access to any venue where our Enterprise is displayed, anywhere in the world – forever!" Forever!

Bible Book Number 44—Acts
"All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial"
CONTENTS OF ACTS
WHY BENEFICIAL
Bold Witnesses of Jehovah in Action!
Overview of Acts
New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
Acts—A Record of Bold and Zealous Witnessing
The Tested Quality of Our Faith—A Cause of Praise and Honor
Bible Book Number 44—Acts
Writer: Luke
Place Written: Rome
Writing Completed: c. 61 C.E.
Time Covered: 33–c. 61 C.E.
1, 2. (a) What historical events and activities are described in Acts? (b) What time period does the book cover?
IN THE 42nd book of the inspired Scriptures, Luke gives an account covering the life, activity, and ministry of Jesus and his followers up to the time of Jesus' ascension. The historical record of the 44th book of the Scriptures, Acts of Apostles, continues the history of early Christianity by describing the founding of the congregation as a result of the operation of the holy spirit. It also describes the expansion of the witness, first among the Jews and then to people of all the nations. The greater part of the material in the first 12 chapters 1-12 covers the activities of Peter, and the remaining 16 chapters 13-28, the activities of Paul. Luke had an intimate association with Paul, accompanying him on many of his travels.
2 The book is addressed to Theophilus. Since he is referred to as "most excellent," it is possible that he occupied some official position, or it may simply be an expression of high esteem. (Luke 1:3) The account provides an accurate historical record of the establishment and growth of the Christian congregation. It commences with Jesus' appearances to his disciples following his resurrection and then records important events of the period from 33 to about 61 C.E., covering approximately 28 years in all.
3. Who wrote the book of Acts, and when was the writing completed?
3 From ancient times the writer of the Gospel of Luke has been credited with the writing of Acts. Both books are addressed to Theophilus. By repeating the closing events of his Gospel in the opening verses of Acts, Luke binds the two accounts together as the work of the same author. It appears that Luke completed Acts about 61 C.E., probably toward the close of a two-year stay in Rome while in the company of the apostle Paul. Since it records events down to that year, it could not have been completed earlier, and its leaving Paul's appeal to Caesar undecided indicates that it was completed by that year.
4. What proves that Acts is canonical and authentic?
4 From the most ancient times, Acts has been accepted by Bible scholars as canonical. Parts of the book are to be found among some of the oldest extant papyrus manuscripts of the Greek Scriptures, notably the Michigan No. 1571 (P38) of the third or fourth century C.E. and Chester Beatty No. 1 (P45) of the third century. Both of these indicate that Acts was circulating with other books of the inspired Scriptures and hence was part of the catalog at an early date. Luke's writing in the book of Acts reflects the same remarkable accuracy as we have already noted marks his Gospel. Sir William M. Ramsay rates the writer of Acts "among the historians of the first rank," and he explains what this means by saying: "The first and the essential quality of the great historian is truth. What he says must be trustworthy."*
5. Illustrate Luke's accurate reporting.
5 Illustrating the accurate reporting that so characterizes Luke's writings, we quote Edwin Smith, commander of a flotilla of British warships in the Mediterranean during World War I, writing in the magazine The Rudder, March 1947: "The ancient vessels were not steered as those in modern times by a single rudder hinged to the stern post, but by two great oars or paddles, one on each side of the stern; hence the mention of them in the plural number by St. Luke. [Acts 27:40] . . . We have seen in our examination that every statement as to the movements of this ship, from the time when she left Fair Havens until she was beached at Malta, as set forth by St. Luke has been verified by external and independent evidence of the most exact and satisfying nature; and that his statements as to the time the ship remained at sea correspond with the distance covered; and finally that his description of the place arrived at is in conformity with the place as it is. All of which goes to show that Luke actually made the voyage as described, and has moreover shown himself to be a man whose observations and statements may be taken as reliable and trustworthy in the highest degree."*
6. What examples show how archaeological findings confirm the accuracy of Acts?
6 Archaeological findings also confirm the accuracy of Luke's account. For example, excavations at Ephesus have unearthed the temple of Artemis as well as the ancient theater where the Ephesians rioted against the apostle Paul. (Acts 19:27-41) Inscriptions have been discovered that confirm the correctness of Luke's use of the title "city rulers" as applying to the officials of Thessalonica. (17:6, 8) Two Maltese inscriptions show that Luke was also correct in referring to Publius as "the principal man" of Malta.—28:7.*
7. How do the speeches recorded show the record of Acts to be factual?
7 Further, the various speeches made by Peter, Stephen, Cornelius, Tertullus, Paul, and others, as recorded by Luke, are all different in style and composition. Even the speeches of Paul, spoken before different audiences, changed in style to suit the occasion. This indicates that Luke recorded only what he himself heard or what other eyewitnesses reported to him. Luke was no fiction writer.
8. What do the Scriptures tell us of Luke and his association with Paul?
8 Very little is known of the personal life of Luke. Luke himself was not an apostle but was associated with those who were. (Luke 1:1-4) In three instances the apostle Paul mentions Luke by name. (Col. 4:10, 14; 2 Tim. 4:11; Philem. 24) For some years he was the constant companion of Paul, who called him "the beloved physician." There is a shifting back and forth in the account between "they" and "we," indicating that Luke was with Paul at Troas during Paul's second missionary tour, that he may have remained behind at Philippi until Paul returned some years later, and that he then rejoined Paul and accompanied him on his trip to Rome for trial.—Acts 16:8, 10; 17:1; 20:4-6; 28:16.
9. What things are the disciples told at the time of Jesus' ascension?
9 Events till Pentecost (1:1-26). As Luke opens this second account, the resurrected Jesus tells his eager disciples that they will be baptized in holy spirit. Will the Kingdom be restored at this time? No. But they will receive power and become witnesses "to the most distant part of the earth." As Jesus is lifted up out of their sight, two men in white tell them: "This Jesus who was received up from you into the sky will come thus in the same manner."—1:8, 11.
10. (a) What memorable things happen on the day of Pentecost? (b) What explanation does Peter give, and what results from it?
10 The memorable day of Pentecost (2:1-42). The disciples are all assembled in Jerusalem. Suddenly a noise like a rushing wind fills the house. Tongues as if of fire rest on those present. They are filled with holy spirit and begin speaking in different languages about "the magnificent things of God." (2:11) Onlookers are perplexed. Now Peter stands up and speaks. He explains that this outpouring of the spirit is in fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel (2:28-32) and that Jesus Christ, now resurrected and exalted to God's right hand, 'has poured out this which they see and hear.' Stabbed to the heart, about 3,000 embrace the word and are baptized.—2:33.
11. How does Jehovah prosper the preaching work?
11 The witness expands (2:43–5:42). Daily, Jehovah continues to join to them those being saved. Outside the temple Peter and John come upon a crippled man who has never walked in his life. "In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!" commands Peter. Immediately the man begins "walking and leaping and praising God." Peter then appeals to the people to repent and turn around, "that seasons of refreshing may come from the person of Jehovah." Annoyed that Peter and John are teaching Jesus' resurrection, the religious leaders arrest them, but the ranks of the believers swell to about 5,000 men.—3:6, 8, 19.
12. (a) What answer do the disciples give when commanded to stop preaching? (b) For what are Ananias and Sapphira punished?
12 The next day, Peter and John are taken before the Jewish rulers for questioning. Peter testifies outspokenly that salvation is only through Jesus Christ, and when commanded to stop their preaching work, both Peter and John reply: "Whether it is righteous in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves. But as for us, we cannot stop speaking about the things we have seen and heard." (4:19, 20) They are released, and all the disciples continue to speak the word of God with boldness. Because of the circumstances, they pool their material possessions and make distributions according to the need. However, a certain Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, sell some property and secretly keep back part of the price while giving the appearance of turning in the entire sum. Peter exposes them, and they drop dead because they have played false to God and the holy spirit.
13. With what are the apostles charged, how do they reply, and what do they continue to do?
13 Again the outraged religious leaders throw the apostles into jail, but this time Jehovah's angel releases them. The next day they are again brought before the Sanhedrin and charged with 'filling Jerusalem with their teaching.' They reply: "We must obey God as ruler rather than men." Though flogged and threatened, they still refuse to stop, and 'every day in the temple and from house to house they continue without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.'—5:28, 29, 42.
14. How does Stephen meet martyrdom?
14 Stephen's martyrdom (6:1–8:1a). Stephen is one of seven appointed by holy spirit to distribute food to tables. He also witnesses powerfully to the truth, and so zealous is his support of the faith that his enraged opponents have him brought before the Sanhedrin on the charge of blasphemy. In making his defense, Stephen tells first of Jehovah's long-suffering toward Israel. Then, in fearless eloquence, he comes to the point: 'Obstinate men, you are always resisting the holy spirit, you who received the Law as transmitted by angels but have not kept it.' (7:51-53) This is too much for them. They rush upon him, throw him outside the city, and stone him to death. Saul looks on in approval.
15. What results from persecution, and what preaching experiences does Philip have?
15 Persecutions, Saul's conversion (8:1b–9:30). The persecution that begins that day against the congregation in Jerusalem scatters all except the apostles throughout the land. Philip goes to Samaria, where many accept the word of God. Peter and John are sent there from Jerusalem so that these believers may receive holy spirit "through the laying on of the hands of the apostles." (8:18) An angel then directs Philip south to the Jerusalem-Gaza road, where he finds a eunuch of the royal court of Ethiopia riding in his chariot and reading the book of Isaiah. Philip enlightens him as to the meaning of the prophecy and baptizes him.
16. How does the conversion of Saul come about?
16 Meanwhile, Saul, "still breathing threat and murder against the disciples of the Lord," sets out to arrest those 'belonging to The Way' in Damascus. Suddenly a light from heaven flashes around him, and he falls to the ground blinded. A voice from heaven tells him: "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting." After three days in Damascus, a disciple named Ananias ministers to him. Saul recovers his sight, gets baptized, and becomes filled with holy spirit, so that he becomes a zealous and able preacher of the good news. (9:1, 2, 5) In this amazing turn of events, the persecutor becomes the persecuted and has to flee for his life, first from Damascus and then from Jerusalem.
17. How does the good news go to uncircumcised Gentiles?
17 The good news goes to uncircumcised Gentiles (9:31–12:25). The congregation now 'enters into a period of peace, being built up; and as it walks in the fear of Jehovah and in the comfort of the holy spirit, it keeps on multiplying.' (9:31) At Joppa, Peter raises the beloved Tabitha (Dorcas) from the dead, and it is from here that he receives the call to go to Caesarea, where an army officer named Cornelius awaits him. He preaches to Cornelius and his household and they believe, and the holy spirit is poured out upon them. Having perceived "that God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him," Peter baptizes them—the first uncircumcised Gentile converts. Peter later explains this new development to the brothers in Jerusalem, at which they glorify God.—10:34, 35.
18. (a) What next occurs in Antioch? (b) What persecution breaks out, but does it achieve its object?
18 As the good news continues to spread rapidly, Barnabas and Saul teach quite a crowd in Antioch, 'and it is first in Antioch that the disciples are by divine providence called Christians.' (11:26) Once again persecution breaks out. Herod Agrippa I has James the brother of John killed with the sword. He also throws Peter into prison, but once again Jehovah's angel sets Peter free. Too bad for the wicked Herod! Because he fails to give glory to God, he is eaten up with worms and dies. On the other hand, 'the word of Jehovah goes on growing and spreading.'—12:24.
19. How extensive is Paul's first missionary journey, and what is accomplished?
19 Paul's first missionary trip, with Barnabas (13:1–14:28).* Barnabas and "Saul, who is also Paul," are set apart and sent forth from Antioch by holy spirit. (13:9) On the island of Cyprus, many become believers, including the proconsul Sergius Paulus. On the mainland of Asia Minor, they make a circuit of six or more cities, and everywhere it is the same story: A clear division appears between those who gladly accept the good news and the stiff-necked opponents who incite rock-throwing mobs against Jehovah's messengers. After making appointments of older men in the newly formed congregations, Paul and Barnabas return to Syrian Antioch.
20. By what decision is the circumcision issue settled?
20 Settling the circumcision issue (15:1-35). With the great influx of non-Jews, the question arises whether these should be circumcised. Paul and Barnabas take the issue to the apostles and the older men in Jerusalem, where the disciple James presides and arranges to send out the unanimous decision by formal letter: "The holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication." (15:28, 29) The encouragement of this letter causes the brothers in Antioch to rejoice.
21. (a) Who are associated with Paul on his second missionary trip? (b) What events mark the visit to Macedonia?
21 Ministry expands with Paul's second trip (15:36–18:22).* "After some days" Barnabas and Mark sail for Cyprus, while Paul and Silas set out through Syria and Asia Minor. (15:36) The young man Timothy joins Paul at Lystra, and they journey on to Troas on the Aegean seacoast. Here in a vision Paul sees a man entreating him: "Step over into Macedonia and help us." (16:9) Luke joins Paul, and they take a ship to Philippi, the principal city of Macedonia, where Paul and Silas are thrown into prison. This results in the jailer's becoming a believer and getting baptized. After their release, they push on to Thessalonica, and there the jealous Jews incite a mob against them. So by night the brothers send Paul and Silas out to Beroea. Here the Jews show noble-mindedness by receiving the word "with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily" in search of confirmation of the things learned. (17:11) Leaving Silas and Timothy with this new congregation, as he had left Luke in Philippi, Paul continues on south to Athens.
22. What results from Paul's skillful speech on the Areopagus?
22 In this city of idols, high-minded Epicurean and Stoic philosophers deride Paul as a "chatterer" and "a publisher of foreign deities," and they take him up to the Areopagus, or Mars' Hill. With skillful oratory Paul argues in favor of seeking the true God, the "Lord of heaven and earth," who guarantees a righteous judgment by the one whom He has resurrected from the dead. Mention of the resurrection divides his audience, but some become believers.—17:18, 24.
23. What is accomplished in Corinth?
23 Next, in Corinth, Paul stays with Aquila and Priscilla, joining with them in the trade of tentmaking. Opposition to his preaching compels him to move out of the synagogue and to hold his meetings next door, in the home of Titius Justus. Crispus, the presiding officer of the synagogue, becomes a believer. After a stay of 18 months in Corinth, Paul departs with Aquila and Priscilla for Ephesus, where he leaves them and continues on to Antioch in Syria, thus completing his second missionary tour.
24, 25. (a) At the time of Paul's starting his third journey, what takes place in Ephesus? (b) What commotion marks the conclusion of Paul's three-year stay?
24 Paul revisits congregations, third tour (18:23–21:26).* A Jew named Apollos comes to Ephesus from Alexandria, Egypt, speaking boldly in the synagogue about Jesus, but Aquila and Priscilla find it necessary to correct his teaching before he goes on to Corinth. Paul is now on his third journey and in due course comes to Ephesus. Learning that the believers here have been baptized with John's baptism, Paul explains baptism in Jesus' name. He then baptizes about 12 men; and when he lays his hands upon them, they receive the holy spirit.
25 During Paul's three-year stay in Ephesus, 'the word of Jehovah keeps growing and prevailing in a mighty way,' and many give up their worship of the city's patron goddess, Artemis. (19:20) Angered at the prospective loss of business, the makers of silver shrines throw the city into such an uproar that it takes hours to disperse the mob. Soon afterward Paul leaves for Macedonia and Greece, visiting the believers along the way.
26. (a) What miracle does Paul perform at Troas? (b) What counsel does he give the overseers from Ephesus?
26 Paul stays three months in Greece before returning by way of Macedonia, where Luke rejoins him. They cross over to Troas, and here, as Paul is discoursing into the night, a young man falls asleep and tumbles out of a third-story window. He is picked up dead, but Paul restores him to life. The next day Paul and his party leave for Miletus, where Paul stops over en route to Jerusalem, to have a meeting with the older men from Ephesus. He informs them they will see his face no more. How urgent, then, it is for them to take the lead and shepherd the flock of God, 'among which the holy spirit has appointed them overseers'! He recalls the example he has set among them, and he admonishes them to keep awake, not sparing themselves in giving in behalf of the brothers. (20:28) Though warned against setting foot in Jerusalem, Paul does not turn back. His companions acquiesce, saying: "Let the will of Jehovah take place." (21:14) There is great rejoicing when Paul reports to James and the older men concerning God's blessing on his ministry among the nations.
27. What reception does Paul receive at the temple?
27 Paul arrested and tried (21:27–26:32). When Paul appears in the temple in Jerusalem, he is given a hostile reception. Jews from Asia stir up the whole city against him, and Roman soldiers rescue him just in the nick of time.
28. (a) What question does Paul raise before the Sanhedrin, and with what result? (b) Where is he then sent?
28 What is all the uproar about? Who is this Paul? What is his crime? The puzzled military commander wants to know the answers. Because of his Roman citizenship, Paul escapes the whipping rack and is brought before the Sanhedrin. Ah, a divided court of Pharisees and Sadducees! Paul therefore raises the question of the resurrection, setting them one against another. As the dissension becomes violent, the Roman soldiers have to snatch Paul from the midst of the Sanhedrin before he is pulled to pieces. He is sent secretly by night to Governor Felix in Caesarea with heavy soldier escort.
29. Charged with sedition, what series of trials or hearings does Paul have, and what appeal does he make?
29 Charged with sedition by his accusers, Paul ably defends himself before Felix. But Felix holds out in hopes of getting bribe money for Paul's release. Two years pass. Porcius Festus succeeds Felix as governor, and a new trial is ordered. Again, serious charges are made, and again Paul declares his innocence. But Festus, to gain favor with the Jews, suggests a further trial before him in Jerusalem. Paul therefore declares: "I appeal to Caesar!" (25:11) More time passes. Finally, King Herod Agrippa II pays a courtesy visit to Festus, and Paul is again brought into the judgment hall. So forceful and convincing is his testimony that Agrippa is moved to say to him: "In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian." (26:28) Agrippa likewise recognizes Paul's innocence and that he could be released if he had not appealed to Caesar.
30. What experiences attend Paul's voyage as far as Malta?
30 Paul goes to Rome (27:1–28:31).* The prisoner Paul and others are taken on a boat for the first stage of the journey to Rome. The winds being contrary, progress is slow. At the port of Myra, they change ships. On reaching Fair Havens, in Crete, Paul recommends wintering there, but the majority advise setting sail. They have hardly put to sea when a tempestuous wind seizes them and drives them along unmercifully. After two weeks their vessel is finally pounded to pieces on a shoal off the coast of Malta. True to Paul's previous assurance, not one of the 276 aboard loses his life! The inhabitants of Malta show extraordinary human kindness, and during that winter, Paul cures many of them by the miraculous power of God's spirit.
31. How is Paul greeted on arrival at Rome, and in what does he busy himself there?
31 The next spring Paul reaches Rome, and the brothers come out on the roadway to meet him. The sight of them causes Paul to 'thank God and take courage.' Though still a prisoner, Paul is permitted to stay in his own hired house with a soldier guard. Luke ends his account, describing Paul's kindly receiving all those who came in to him and "preaching the kingdom of God to them and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with the greatest freeness of speech, without hindrance."—28:15, 31.
32. Before and at Pentecost, how did Peter testify to the authenticity of the Hebrew Scriptures?
32 The book of Acts adds testimony to that of the Gospel accounts in confirming the authenticity and inspiration of the Hebrew Scriptures. As Pentecost approached, Peter cited the fulfillment of two prophecies that "the holy spirit spoke beforehand by David's mouth about Judas." (Acts 1:16, 20; Ps. 69:25; 109:8) Peter also told the astonished Pentecost crowd that they were actually witnessing fulfillment of prophecy: "This is what was said through the prophet Joel."—Acts 2:16-21; Joel 2:28-32; compare also Acts 2:25-28, 34, 35 with Psalm 16:8-11 and Ps 110:1.
33. How did Peter, Philip, James, and Paul all show the Hebrew Scriptures to be inspired?
33 To convince another crowd outside the temple, Peter again called upon the Hebrew Scriptures, first quoting Moses and then saying: "And all the prophets, in fact, from Samuel on and those in succession, just as many as have spoken, have also plainly declared these days." Later, before the Sanhedrin, Peter quoted Psalm 118:22 in showing that Christ, the stone that they rejected, had become "the head of the corner." (Acts 3:22-24; 4:11) Philip explained to the Ethiopian eunuch how the prophecy of Isaiah 53:7, 8 had been fulfilled, and on being enlightened, this one humbly requested baptism. (Acts 8:28-35) Likewise, speaking to Cornelius concerning Jesus, Peter testified: "To him all the prophets bear witness." (10:43) When the matter of circumcision was being debated, James backed up his decision by saying: "With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written." (15:15-18) The apostle Paul relied on the same authorities. (26:22; 28:23, 25-27) The evident ready acceptance by the disciples and their hearers of the Hebrew Scriptures as part of God's Word sets the seal of inspired approval on those writings.
34. What does Acts reveal concerning the Christian congregation, and is this any different today?
34 Acts is most beneficial in showing how the Christian congregation was founded and how it grew under power of holy spirit. Throughout this dramatic account, we observe God's blessings of expansion, the boldness and joy of the early Christians, their uncompromising stand in the face of persecution, and their willingness to serve, as exemplified in Paul's answering the calls to enter foreign service and to go into Macedonia. (4:13, 31; 15:3; 5:28, 29; 8:4; 13:2-4; 16:9, 10) The Christian congregation today is no different, for it is bound together in love, unity, and common interest as it speaks "the magnificent things of God" under guidance of holy spirit.—2:11, 17, 45; 4:34, 35; 11:27-30; 12:25.
35. How does Acts show how the witness was to be given, and what quality in the ministry is emphasized?
35 The book of Acts shows just how the Christian activity of proclaiming God's Kingdom should be carried out. Paul himself was an example, saying: "I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house." Then he goes on to say: "I thoroughly bore witness." This theme of 'thorough witnessing' strikes our attention throughout the book, and it comes impressively to the fore in the closing paragraphs, where Paul's wholehearted devotion to his preaching and teaching, even under prison bonds, is borne out in the words: "And he explained the matter to them by bearing thorough witness concerning the kingdom of God and by using persuasion with them concerning Jesus from both the law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening." May we ever be as singlehearted in our Kingdom activity!—20:20, 21; 28:23; 2:40; 5:42; 26:22.
36. What practical counsel by Paul applies forcefully to overseers today?
36 Paul's discourse to the overseers from Ephesus contains much practical counsel for overseers today. Since these have been appointed by holy spirit, it is most important that they 'pay attention to themselves and to all the flock,' shepherding them tenderly and guarding them against oppressive wolves that seek their destruction. No light responsibility this! Overseers have need to keep awake and build themselves up on the word of God's undeserved kindness. As they labor to assist those who are weak, they "must bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said, 'There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.'"—20:17-35.
37. By what tactful argumentation did Paul get across his point on the Areopagus?
37 The other discourses of Paul also sparkle with clear exposition of Bible principles. For example, there is the classic argumentation of his talk to the Stoics and Epicureans on the Areopagus. First he quotes the altar inscription, "To an Unknown God," and uses this as his reason for explaining that the one true God, the Lord of heaven and earth, who made out of one man every nation of men, "is not far off from each one of us." Then he quotes the words of their poets, "For we are also his progeny," in showing how ridiculous it is to suppose that they sprang from lifeless idols of gold, silver, or stone. Thus Paul tactfully establishes the sovereignty of the living God. It is only in his concluding words that he raises the issue of the resurrection, and even then he does not mention Christ by name. He got across his point of the supreme sovereignty of the one true God, and some became believers as a result.—17:22-34.
38. What blessings will result from the kind of study encouraged in Acts?
38 The book of Acts encourages continuous, diligent study of "all Scripture." When Paul first preached in Beroea, the Jews there, because "they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so," were commended as being "noble-minded." (17:11) Today, as then, this eager searching of the Scriptures in association with Jehovah's spirit-filled congregation will result in the blessings of conviction and strong faith. It is by such study that one may come to a clear appreciation of the divine principles. A fine statement of some of these principles is recorded at Acts 15:29. Here the governing body of apostles and older brothers in Jerusalem made known that while circumcision was not a requirement for spiritual Israel, there were definite prohibitions on idolatry, blood, and fornication.
39. (a) How were the disciples strengthened to meet persecutions? (b) What bold testimony did they give? Was it effective?
39 Those early disciples really studied the inspired Scriptures and could quote and apply them as needed. They were strengthened through accurate knowledge and by God's spirit to meet fierce persecutions. Peter and John set the pattern for all faithful Christians when they boldly told the opposing rulers: "Whether it is righteous in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves. But as for us, we cannot stop speaking about the things we have seen and heard." And when brought again before the Sanhedrin, which had "positively ordered" them not to keep teaching on the basis of Jesus' name, they said unequivocally: "We must obey God as ruler rather than men." This fearless testimony resulted in a fine witness to the rulers, and it led the famous Law teacher Gamaliel to make his well-known statement in favor of freedom of worship, which led to the apostles' release.—4:19, 20; 5:28, 29, 34, 35, 38, 39.
40. What incentive does Acts give us to bear thorough witness to the Kingdom?
40 Jehovah's glorious purpose concerning his Kingdom, which runs like a golden thread throughout the entire Bible, stands out very prominently in the book of Acts. At the outset Jesus is shown during the 40 days prior to his ascension "telling the things about the kingdom of God." It was in answer to the disciples' question about the restoration of the Kingdom that Jesus told them that they must first be his witnesses to the most distant part of the earth. (1:3, 6, 8) Starting in Jerusalem, the disciples preached the Kingdom with unflinching boldness. Persecutions brought the stoning of Stephen and scattered many of the disciples into new territories. (7:59, 60) It is recorded that Philip declared "the good news of the kingdom of God" with much success in Samaria and that Paul and his associates proclaimed "the kingdom" in Asia, Corinth, Ephesus, and Rome. All these early Christians set sterling examples of unswerving reliance on Jehovah and his sustaining spirit. (8:5, 12; 14:5-7, 21, 22; 18:1, 4; 19:1, 8; 20:25; 28:30, 31) Viewing their indomitable zeal and courage and noting how abundantly Jehovah blessed their efforts, we also have wonderful incentive to be faithful in "bearing thorough witness concerning the kingdom of God."—28:23.

At Least One Year Delay for Virgin Galactic After Last Fall's Fatal Crash

When it happens, we'll be impressed. But we're not bullish on the timeline.

Virgin Galactic Ltd.'s plans to launch commercial spaceflights will be put back by about 12 months after a fatal crash last year.
"There is going to be about a one-year delay," billionaire owner Richard Branson said in a Bloomberg Television interview. The team for the space-tourism venture is working "day and night" on a replacement craft, he said. "They're confident that they're back on track."
The crash during a test flight in California's Mojave Desert in October killed the co-pilot and injured the pilot. Previously, Branson said the target for the first commercial flight was spring 2015, and he and his son would be aboard for the initial launch. He said at the time that almost 800 would-be space tourists had signed up for $250,000 trips.
The program has suffered numerous setbacks, with three people working for Virgin partner Scaled Composites — now a unit of Northrop Grumman Corp. — killed in an explosion in 2007.
Under the plan, a jet will carry the spaceship to almost 50,000 feet (15,000 meters). From there, the rocket-powered craft will climb to 360,000 feet, letting passengers experience weightlessness, dark skies and view the curvature of the Earth.
Branson's still keen to be on the first launch, he said in the interview.
