Parent Category: Things To Know
1. Bees are flying insects that are closely related to wasps and ants and there almost 20,000 species….honeybee, bumblebee and sweat bees are the most common. 2. Bees are found on every continent except Antarctica and in every habitat that has flowering plants. 3. Bees feed on nectar and pollen by using a long tongue. 4. Bees have antennae, two pairs of wings, enlarged hind feet, branched or feathered body hair, and some have a stinger. 5. Bees are adapted for feeding on pollen which they turn into honey (a worker bee must visit 4,000 flowers to make 1 tablespoon of honey). 6. Bees play a very important role in pollinating flowering plants and have fuzzy bodies that allows the pollen to stick to the bee. 7. The smallest bee is the dwarf bee which is about 2.1 mm (5/64 of an inch) long and the largest bee can grow to 39 mm (1.5 inches). 8. Crab spiders and assassin bugs hide in the flowers to capture the bees which makes collecting pollen dangerous work, but the primary reason honey bees are endangered is because of parasites. 9. Honey bees and bumble bees live in hives or colonies which at their peak can have up to 40,000 bees……..the colony is made up of one queen bee, thousands of female worker bees which do not breed, and hundreds male drone bees. 10. A honey bee queen may lay 2000 eggs per day during the spring but she also must lay 1000 to 1500 eggs per day when the bees are out gathering pollen to replace daily casualties.

KENTUCKY (2/10/14) ― Fifty years ago, four young musicians from Liverpool, known as the Beatles, took America by storm, and set new standards of music for generations to come.
When the "fab four" landed at the John F. Kennedy International Airport on Feb. 7, 1964, two days before their performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," little did they know, before their plane touched American soil, the first shrieks of Beatlemania were already sweeping across the nation.
With rag mop hairdos and guitars, thousands of delirious teen-aged girls chanted "we want beatniks," the fab four were shocked into momentary immobility as they left the plane to face the American mob.
With just enough recovery time, they were able to wave, smile and dance a jig for their gasping audience.
On Feb. 9, the four mop-topped entertainers arrived at the Ed Sullivan Show for their first two dress rehearsals in front of full hysterical audience.
With their own string and percussion instruments, plugged in behind a curtain, they exchanged relaxed, easy grins, as Ed Sullivan wandered onstage.
Camera crews loaded shots of the audience of young girls screaming, leaping from their seats and throwing their arms in the air.
That evening, during the performance, they sang in perfect harmony, stomped their feet with their electric guitars and swooned the ladies in their tight black suits and long hair.
The same night, an unheard of 60 percent of American TVs were tuned to CBS to watch the fab four on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Everyone wanted to have a look at the source of all the chaos.
The audience in the living rooms may have been split down the middle, but the makeup at the studio belonged to the Beatles.
The phenomenon unfolded in living rooms across the country, the viewing audience estimated 74 million people, reflecting a total of 23.24 million homes.
Even after half a century, the Beatles commercial success commenced an instant wave of changes with how music is perceived.
The group continues to be celebrated for its cultural impact and innovation.
John, Paul, Ringo and George are credited with shifting pop music from buoyant schoolboy love songs to world anthems of peace and community.Amber Averitt

Power Conditioners
Jan 27, 2012 12:18 PM, By Bennett Liles
For powering professional audio devices in environments such as digital recording studios, Equi=Tech markets the Son of Q shelf or rackmounted balanced power system. This line is a more recent variant of the company's flagship Model Q and consists of the original 1500W 15A version, the 1000W Son of Q Jr. and the 20A 2000W Son of Q Sr. The unit's front panel features an input power switch and an output power switch, each with its own LED power indicator. Models in the Son of Q line are designed for small-to-medium-sized AV systems and use bifilar wound isolation transformers along with magnetic and faraday shielding.
The rackmounted ETA-S15L AC power conditioner and distribution unit from ETA Systems provides nine AC outlets, eight of which are switched on the rear panel while one is unswitched on the front. Also featured are RFI and EMI filtering. The unit can suppress voltage spikes up to 6000V. There is a 15A circuit breaker on the front panel in addition to the power switch, pullout light, power LED, AC fault LED, and two position light intensity switch. The rear panel offers an XLR connection for the optional Atlas Power AP-GNL18 light with accompanying switch. The unit is rated for a maximum surge current of 6500A and a maximum spike clamp response time of 1 nanosecond.
For home theater and professional audio and video systems, the EP-WSC-15R wide spectrum multistage conditioner from Exact Power uses a series of filters to reject common mode and differential mode AC noise and RFI from incoming power. The unit incorporates custom-wound, heavy duty toroidal inductors and five-stage, high-voltage surge protection along with cable TV and phone line transient protection on three pair of rear-panel coax connections. A twisted-pair in/out connection for surge protection on network and phone lines also is included. The chassis weighs 40lbs. and fits into a 2RU rack space.
Furman Sound designed the PL-PRO DMC power conditioner to provide the maximum function and information in the minimum space. The 1RU rack module features a large digital volt meter/ammeter with discrete dimmer button and LED voltage range warning. The front panel also has dual pullout lights with a dimmer knob and a USB charger connection. The chassis offers eight rear-panel AC outlets and one on the front. The rear panel also has a BNC power connection to accommodate a variety of gooseneck lamps, and three of the rear AC outlets are spaced for wall wart AC transformers.
The RX10-SCS Filtercord from Juice Goose fits behind HD displays to provide voltage surge protection and high-frequency common-mode and normal-mode noise filtration for the best HD picture quality and display protection. The unit's hybrid filter design protects equipment from surges up to 6000V at 3000 amps on hot, neutral, and ground. If it is connected to an improperly wired outlet, no power will be applied to the load and a wiring fault will be indicated by a red light.
For protection of sensitive electronic equipment from external or internal transient activity LeGrand markets the Wiremold Sentrex ZoneDefender PRO ZPA and ZPB series panel protection devices with EMI/RFI filtering, remote indication contacts, and an audible alarm. With up to 160kA surge protection per phase, the units provide all mode protection housed in a NEMA 1-, 2-, 12-, 13-rated metal enclosure and include short circuit and thermal fusing.
Another entry in the 1RU rackmounted category, the ACSPR-RPC1-1509K from Lowell Manufacturing adds remote control to surge and over/under voltage protection and RFI/EMI filtering. The unit can be operated with a remote switch closure and through a trigger voltage provided by a separate control or fire alarm system. The front panel features a series of LEDs that indicate AC line voltage from levels less than 100VAC to more than 140VAC, and there are shutdown and surge protection status LEDs as well. A power status indicator and 15-amp circuit breaker are included on the front, and the unit may be ordered with either rocker or key-switch power activation. There are eight outlets on the back and one on the front panel.

Midway flies high with record 9.67 million passengers in 2012
BY SANDRA GUY Business Reporter email@example.com February 3, 2013 9:36PM

Updated: March 5, 2013 6:29AM
Midway International Airport, which Mayor Rahm Emanuel is exploring privatizing, boasted its best year in its 85-year history for passenger travel in 2012, racking up 9.67 million passengers boarding planes, the Chicago Department of Aviation says in a report.
The passenger count, up 1.8 percent from the previous high eight years earlier, came about mostly because more flights took off. Traffic got a boost after Southwest Airlines added seven nonstop flights and new carrier Volaris Airlines added five markets, the city said.
More is on the way: In April, AirTran will start new flights to Tampa and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Southwest/AirTran will offer flights to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.
Midway's growth has defied the recession. Its passenger boardings jumped 3.35 percent in 2012 after having increased 7.1 percent in 20¡1 from the prior year. Midway's growth rate in 2011 was more than triple the national average increase of 2.3 percent.
"Midway continues to be one of the fastest-growing airports in the United States and has emerged as one of the nation's premier airports for domestic service," Emanuel said.
Emanuel and the Federal Aviation Administration have drawn fire for seeking bidders on a possible lease of Midway. Last week, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), said the federal government should be repaid the $378 million in federal funds used to rebuild Midway if a privatization deal goes through.

Mike HornickHarvesters pack Coastline Produce romaine July 17 in Salinas, Calif.SALINAS, Calif. — Weather extremes on both coasts have put California grower-shippers in a much stronger position in the lettuce market this summer than last, especially for iceberg and green leaf.
"Green leaf is on fire," said Mark McBride, a salesman for Salinas-based Coastline Produce.
Most 24-count cartons were shipping for $18.65-20 on July 22, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's up from $10-11.50 a year ago.
Iceberg was throwing some weight around too. Film-wrapped 24-count cartons were $14.50-15.85, up from $9.50-11.50 last year.
"If you'd told anybody in Salinas that we'd be experience this kind of market in mid-July, they'd be pleasantly surprised," McBride said. "The homegrown deals on the East Coast, the Ohio Valley and upstate New York really got clobbered with rain."
"Some of the East Coast buyers are pulling a fair amount of lettuce out of California because they're not happy with the quality they're getting from their local grower," said Henry Dill, sales manager for Pacific International Marketing.
Such buyers pay a hefty premium on transportation when they turn west.
Salinas escaped the brunt of an early July heat wave that slowed tree fruit production in other parts of the state.
However, just inland, in south Monterey County, Hollister and San Juan Bautista, temperatures reached the 90s, and lettuce yields took a hit.
"A lot of our lettuce became unharvestable because of the heat," said Dill, who estimated a short-term volume reduction of 5%. "We lost some due to burn. The heat was just one week, but about three weeks (of production) were affected."
"It tended to bring some product on out of sequence and possibly do some damage and reduce some of the yields too," McBride said.
Michael Boggiatto, president of Salinas-based Boggiatto Produce Inc., said problems elsewhere put California growers in an unaccustomed position for summer.
"Usually this time of year is pretty slow for us and prices are at the bottom," he said July 18. "With the heat wave that's going through the country, the quality isn't there in the homegrown. Now it's our turn to fill the gap for customers."
But on romaine hearts Boggiatto didn't see demand or price budging. Not yet, anyway. Most packs of 12 three-count romaine hearts shipped for $13.75-14.50 on July 22, down from $16.95-19.50 the year before. Romaine head 24-count cartons stood at $11.25-12.75, down from $12.16-14.35.

I am loving the Hopper so far... I'm going on my second week with it and love it, even if it is a little quirky now and then.
I can hardly wait for the OTA module.
My locals aren't offered in HD on DISH like they were on D*, but D* didn't offer me what I consider "true" locals either. At least Dish has my IN-TOWN station.
Anywhoo, since DISH only requires one cable drop to the Hopper as opposed to the two I originally had with D*, I have an extra cable drop in my Living Room and am running OTA direct to my HDTV. It will be great to get OTA to the rest of the house shared thru the Hopper...
Once DISH starts carrying my locals in HD, it will be moot unless there's some sort of weather related emergency that blocks the sat signal, which is rare. Typically my sat only goes out for 5-10 mins at a time during heavy thunderstorms, and it has to be HEAVY.
I'm hoping the OTA will be a 4th tuner able to be shared by all clients....
Has the OTA adapter for Hopper been confirmed? Or is this just speculation?

Financing Study Abroad
Think you can't afford to study abroad? You may be wrong! A growing number of NMU Donor-Funded scholarships are specifically designated for study abroad, and many sources outside the university may help. Most NMU students rely on a combination of personal savings, family support, financial aid and additional loans.
NMU Donor-Funded Scholarships support the internationalization efforts of the University and reflect the generosity of private donors - some of them alumni of their own study abroad experiences. International Program coordinates the selection process for the following Foundation awards:
Other scholarship sources: A number of NMU's partner programs sponsor scholarships and grants to assist students. Professional organizations and national endowments also support students who study abroad. You may qualify for one of the following:
Financial Aid: If you plan to use need-based financial aid toward your study abroad, you must complete the U.S. Department of Education Free Application for Financial Assistance - the FAFSA. Then, meet with your study abroad advisor and a financial aid officer.

VirtualPBX has just made VoIP and hosted phone services more affordable than ever! Prices of VirtualPBX's usage-based plans have dropped by up to 70% and they're now offering convenient and cost-effective new annual rates for all plans. What's more, if you sign up for an annual plan, you can get free VoIP phones, further reducing your phone system costs.
As always, you can still use any kind of phone with VirtualPBX – land line, cellular, or VoIP. And there's never been any cost for PBX hardware when using our system. Now, you can even get started with Voice over IP (VoIP) technology without buying phones. Remember that using VoIP can eliminate the cost of expensive business phone lines from the phone company. You'll save money and get better features – it's a "win-win".
Furthermore, the free phones offered by VirtualPBX are full-featured Polycom Soundpoint IP 321 phones, the most popular phones in the industry. With this incredible deal, VirtualPBX became the first major Business VoIP provider to offer all the benefits of a hosted VoIP PBX with absolutely no hardware costs, making it more affordable and accessible to everyone.
"Voice over IP telephony often offers reduced costs, which are extremely important in this economy," said Larry Hettick, principal analyst with Current Analysis. "But up-front cost of buying new phones can be an issue, especially in the small business market. This move by VirtualPBX can help reduce the barrier to entry for their clients and make it easier for businesses to try VoIP."
Changes to VirtualPBX's pricing plans and offerings include:
- Flat-rate Plans:
- Unlimited-use plans now start as low as $18.99 per month per user.
- Annual plan customers can receive up to 10 free VoIP phones, a value of $170 per phone.
- No activation fees.
- Usage-based Plans:
- Plans now start as low as $7.99 per month.
- New plans allow customers more minutes at a lower price with savings of up to 70 percent.
- Annual plans include up to 4 free VoIP phones, a value of $170 per phone.
- No activation fees.
"Our new packages eliminate many of the concerns and risks related to deploying a high-quality business VoIP system," said Paul Hammond, CEO and president of VirtualPBX. "We're confident that these new plans deliver the highest value available today."

Well, calling it a dinner might be somewhat of an exaggeration. Some guests weren't served their meal until nearly 11:30 p.m., and a few didn't bother waiting around for it. Really, the night was more about ogling: most of the crowd simply hovered around the star-packed center table, where Eva Mendes chain-smoked off the silver and glass candelabras while Rosario Dawson and Anne Hathaway engaged in some serious girl-talk.
Space was so tight on the packed terrace that it's a wonder Kate Hudson in a micro-micromini was able to make it through the night without any wardrobe malfunctions. "It all seems to be staying in place," she sighed with relief.
Across the roof, hockey star Sean Avery held court with Charlotte Ronson and Allison Sarofim; Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Tatiana Santo Domingo, Lauren Davis and Barbara Bush were seated at the next table, while Alex Kramer had eyes only for Dan Baker. Emily Mortimer and husband Alessandro Nivola arrived late, and hungry, having caught "Rock 'n' Roll" on Broadway earlier. By one o'clock, Natasha Richardson, Hathaway and Dawson had called it a night but Hudson showed no signs of waning, sipping Patron with old friend Matthew McConaughey.
Meanwhile, Tara Subkoff was looking for a cigarette and eyed her pal Hudson's nearly empty pack of American Spirits. But she thought better of it. "I'm not going to take Kate Hudson's last cigarette."
That same night in Miami, Cartier, MOCA and Interview magazine cohosted a dinner in anticipation of Art Basel which kicks off today. "Miami becomes like no other place in the world this week," said Calvin Klein, who recently purchased a Miami residence. "It's like Rio, but in the U.S."
Other guests included Katherine Ross and Michael Govan, Lauren and Benedikt Taschen, fair director Sam Keller and Lance Armstrong.
Elsewhere, modern art collector Marvin Ross Friedman hosted a cocktail party at his Coral Gables home which brought out Iris Apfel, Lisa de Kooning (daughter of Willem), Dorothy Lichtenstein and Larry Gagosian.

Here is why this film is'nt entirely considered propaganda
To any one who would consider this film a piece of propaganda, I would respectfully ask you to read about, The Wöbbelin concentration/death camp, near the city of Ludwigslust Germany.

Cool Movie--When Viewed In Context
This movie would do a good job of making a high-school-age American enlisted man (who hadn't seen combat) very suspicious of the postwar Germans.
That naive kid would have every reason to be suspicious. Germany was dirt poor immediately postwar--and the young GI would be quite the target for exploitation.
But after that young kid meets that special German girl . . .. Oh, it's all over then.

here is germany
this is a nice download for a not-so-nice movie. sure, nazis weren't nice people, but it doesn't mean that just because most germans whose family members were nazis they are instinctively evil. i mean, there were the red faction army in the 70s and 80s, but did they create a major war after world war 2? no. nowadays, it seems that many ex-nazis are sorry for what they believed and their younger relatives are studying their dark past.
another thing, it is obvious that the american army at that time were twisting german history-- in an unflattering way. i've noticed that some of its "reenactment" scenes were actually taken from german movies (namely "kolberg") and germany's war history according to them sounds (and probably is) senseless. in the end, it was not only the germans who the americans blame for distorting the truth and manipulating its people, but also it was the americans who unethically control its soldiers. but for that reason, it must be watched. they must see this by eveyone because they must also know the other face of history's protagonists.

Take the time for a little history!
Most of the reviewers have either not viewed this film or have no idea what it was. It was propaganda "with that word used in a neutral sense." It was also wartime (not post war) propaganda, by the noted Frank Capra, who did other such films, e.g. "Why We Fight."
"Wartime" means it was done before the end of the war. Most of the film would be documentary footage, some of it by Germans or their allies. There was very little getting Americans riled over Japan after Pearl Harbor. American soldiers were not overly motivated to kill Germans, get invovled in a European War. Many had German roots. The North African invasion embittered American troops and gave them an enemy as did the KIAs with the home front..
Wartime also meant that there was no ready footage of atrocities not yet widely known,
Some of the comments border on stupid ignorance. No Anti-Semitism at the time? The post-war fim Gentlemen's agreement depicted American double standards, precluding Jews from many hoels. In m Home city and where I live now there are (what were) Jewish Country Clubs because of exclusion from Gentiles-only facilities. Housing covenants excluded Jews from many neighborhoods. One of the objections to some late 40s, early 50s television reflected to some degree the involvement of Jews in entertainment. But there was also Jewish theater because of exclusion ary policies. The ADL was fonded after the lynching of Jewish man in Georgia.
Molly Godberb was funny in the 40s, but how interesting the reference to 50s television. That in part was because the "network" either needed to be live or filmed. Sound recording wored for radio. In television, it was the kinoscope, look it up. As television spread more widely, the picture started to change. Not that there were no Jews in entertainment.
The difference here is someone who was born during the Roosevelt period can remember all of this. Along with bombings of synagogues in the South. Perhaps you needed to be ther.e
And blacks. The film painted a picture of equality for all, when it did not exist. Some of the fire for civil rights came from veterans who had fought as men but treated at home as "boys" no matter what their accomplishments.
AS propanganda, there was clearly an airbrurshing of our own faults, presenting an America as seen by many Americans, not the reality of others
As for Hingerty, He's a Holocaust denier, which in itself establishes him as a hate monger. "The criminal: state of Israel? The United States should talk after 8 years of Bush war and indiscriminate torture. Rendition? Our criminal class modeled their programs on the Nazi "Nacht und Nabel," people taken in the night who disappeared without a trace, enemiesof the state or offenders of some petty Nazi.
If someone's father went to Dachau when it was a DP camp, that's because after we released (and more) the inmates, the Americans used as a DP camp - DP refers the the tends of thousands of stateless refugees left in the wake of the Gernan war and murder machine.
Dachau was not a death camp, but thousands upon thousandx died there, from starvation, typhoid, gunfire, etc. It was the only camp that ran from 1933-1945 and its use from the beginning was for poltiical opponents. . The leaders of the Social Democratic Party had to go into exile after Hitler took over after many were murdered. . The SPD was too democratic and too modern for Nazi taste. Communists were imprisoned and killed, or just killed. Typhod in the campas? Of course, but what was the death rate among the German guards and staff. None or next to it. Germans (odd use since the Jews had once been Germans) only died of prison diseases when they themselves were placed in similar circumstances.
If you pushed a newspaper that was critical, you might get a warning(much as Bush threaten news organizations) or you'd be on your way to Dachau. It was a camp for political prisoners. The "work" in Arbeit Macht Frei" was an ironic statement. There were actual work camps where, including at the death camps, where slave labor worked until they died. German v-2 were built by slave labor who died at extraordinary rates through German policies and health practices. What made Dauchau of consequence for the U.S was that after a prisoner was killed in its early days, a local prosector (with brass cojones) brought charges.
Hitler personally ordered an end to that and Dachau guards were free to do as they wished, under orders. Theresienstadt was a Potemkin village, its inmates required to give a show, hoping to somehow suvive the next trip, to Auschwitz. What kind of an idiot doesnt know that. Read Ian Kershaw or Richard Evans.
There is nothing that can be said for someone so foul and deranged to say that Adolph Eichman was "much maligned" because he was a Jewish savior. You've clearly never read the trial transcript.
This was supposed to a film review. I thnk it's important that some of the posters read something about the context of the Capra propaganda series.
Except for the storm trooper cretins, you won't have to change your views so much as understand what was happening amid the society of that time. American society has changed, to a considerable extent because of the unplanned effect of war.
You should then try to watch these and other propaganda films. A good American film, was the "Battle of Midway," by John Ford, who entered the Navy in 1934 and worked with Hollywood photographers during actual combat. Ford was made Captain during the war and promoted to Rear Admiral.
The Navy started the war without any black offiers and it promoted only a few to the officer ranks, primarily to dea with "negro issues" and deal with the black media. There were black women WAVES during the war. Almost all of them were forced out of the Navy. The Navy had only six black officers in 1948, AFTER it began to get pressure from Truman. Annapolis produced its first black Annapolis in 1949.
The career of Hyman Rickover is a study in anti-semitism and a tribute to his pluck that he excelled and survived. JImmy Carter helped that first Annapolis grad, the ran cross country for USNA by warning off the bullies, something that same grad recalled when the USNA named a building for him. Carter also worked for Rickover, having passed his screen.,

Zionism in Poswar era
The reason noone mentioned Jewish suffering is because it just didnt happen to the extent that Spielberg and The modern criminal state of Israel would have you believe. Noone has ever found any gas chamber. EVER. The Poles claimed that they used electrified floors to kill them. Immediately after the war my father was with OMG in Munich. He went to Dachau and saw it, but he said it was just a DP camp. at that time. During the war it was a work cam. Typhus epidemics raged thru these camps. True and many died as a result. Maybe they would have preferred to stay in Berlin or Dresden? Theresienstadt, had a pool, theater, a lot more than the German civilians had. Also Adolf Eichman who has been much maligned went to see the Zionist leaders several times, he spoke hebrew. He was able to procure many visas for these people. The Nazis and the future government of Israel were in bed together. Anything that caused troubel for the English was a plus. Sending Jews to Palestine was considered a good idea. When England refused to allow them in, the camps filled up. There also hasnt been any documentation found to this day that authorized any sort of Jewish extermeination policy. In view of the recent behavior of the Israeli government, it seems that there is a concerted effort to "justify" their atrocious behavior. There is no jusitifcation for murdering the Palestinians, stealing their land.

Sorry, but...
Robin1990, from what you poted I can tell that you were neither alive nor Jewish in the 1950's.
There was plenty of anti-semitism in the US then.
There were mill;ions of Jews in Europe before World War II, and look what was done to them there.

"I suppose this reflects the prevailing anti-semitism in America at that time".
I know that there were many racists in America back then, But seriously, Most Americans accepted jews. Basically everybody on 50's TV was jewish!
FlorianM -
This is pure propaganda nothig more
"Everybody has equal rights..." Did you saw any black people?
GCarty -
Why it wasn't mentioned that the victims were Jews
Genocide of Jews was unique to Nazism, while this film is a more general attack on German militarism in all its forms: "You faced the 'Nazi' menace, your father's generation was threatened by the 'Huns', while in your grandfather's time there were the 'Prussians'. The Nazis, the Huns, the Prussians. Three different names for three generations of Germans, each trying to impose their will on others by force."
Before Nazism, the most antisemitic country in Europe was Russia.
robcat2075 -
oops, forgot one little thing...
How amazing that a film intending to detail every crime of the Germans can't bring itself to mention the persecution of the jews. The German crimes against the Italians get more mention(!).
I suppose this reflects the prevailing anti-semitism in America at that time. A lot of Americans watching this film probably wouldn't have thought persectuing jews was such a bad idea.
Still, it's an effective film and gives you a brief, Cliff Notes history of German militarism.

Joseph presents his brethren to Pharaoh. (1-6) Jacob blesses Pharaoh. (7-12) Joseph's dealings with the Egyptians during the famine. (13-26) Jacob's age. His desire to be buried in Canaan. (27--31)
Verses 1-6 Though Joseph was a great man, especially in Egypt, yet he owned his brethren. Let the rich and great in the world not overlook or despise poor relations. Our Lord Jesus is not ashamed to call us brethren. In answer to Pharaoh's inquiry, What is your calling? they told him that they were shepherds, adding that they were come to sojourn in the land for a time, while the famine prevailed in Canaan. Pharaoh offered to employ them as shepherds, provided they were active men. Whatever our business or employment is, we should aim to excel in it, and to prove ourselves clever and industrious.
Verses 7-12 With the gravity of old age, the piety of a true believer, and the authority of a patriarch and a prophet, Jacob besought the Lord to bestow a blessing upon Pharaoh. He acted as a man not ashamed of his religion; and who would express gratitude to the benefactor of himself and his family. We have here a very uncommon answer given to a very common question. Jacob calls his life a pilgrimage; the sojourning of a stranger in a foreign country, or his journey home to his own country. He was not at home upon earth; his habitation, his inheritance, his treasures were in heaven. He reckons his life by days; even by days life is soon reckoned, and we are not sure of the continuance of it for a day. Let us therefore number our days. His days were few. Though he had now lived one hundred and thirty years, they seemed but a few days, in comparison with the days of eternity, and the eternal state. They were evil; this is true concerning man. He is of few days and full of trouble; since his days are evil, it is well they are few. Jacob's life had been made up of evil days. Old age came sooner upon him than it had done upon some of his fathers. As the young man should not be proud of his strength or beauty, so the old man should not be proud of his age, and his hoary hairs, though others justly reverence them; for those who are accounted very old, attain not to the years of the patriarchs. The hoary head is only a crown of glory, when found in the way of righteousness. Such an answer could not fail to impress the heart of Pharaoh, by reminding him that worldly prosperity and happiness could not last long, and was not enough to satisfy. After a life of vanity and vexation, man goes down into the grave, equally from the throne as the cottage. Nothing can make us happy, but the prospect of an everlasting home in heaven, after our short and weary pilgrimage on earth.
Verses 13-26 Care being taken of Jacob and his family, which mercy was especially designed by Providence in Joseph's advancement, an account is given of the saving the kingdom of Egypt from ruin. There was no bread, and the people were ready to die. See how we depend upon God's providence. All our wealth would not keep us from starving, if rain were withheld for two or three years. See how much we are at God's mercy, and let us keep ourselves always in his love. Also see how much we smart by our own want of care. If all the Egyptians had laid up corn for themselves in the seven years of plenty, they had not been in these straits; but they regarded not the warning. Silver and gold would not feed them: they must have corn. All that a man hath will he give for his life. We cannot judge this matter by modern rules. It is plain that the Egyptians regarded Joseph as a public benefactor. The whole is consistent with Joseph's character, acting between Pharaoh and his subjects, in the fear of God. The Egyptians confessed concerning Joseph, Thou hast saved our lives. What multitudes will gratefully say to Jesus, at the last day, Thou hast saved our souls from the most tremendous destruction, and in the season of uttermost distress! The Egyptians parted with all their property, and even their liberty, for the saving of their lives: can it then be too much for us to count all but loss, and part with all, at His command, and for His sake, who will both save our souls, and give us an hundredfold, even here, in this present world? Surely if saved by Christ, we shall be willing to become his servants.
Verses 27-31 At last the time drew nigh that Israel must die. Israel, a prince with God, had power over the Angel, and prevailed, yet must die. Joseph supplied him with bread, that he might not die by famine, but that did not secure him from dying by age or sickness. He died by degrees; his candle gradually burnt down to the socket, so that he saw the time drawing nigh. It is an advantage to see the approach of death, before we feel it, that we may be quickened to do, with all our might, what our hands find to do. However, death is not far from any of us. Jacob's care, as he saw the day approach, was about his burial; not the pomp of it, but he would be buried in Canaan, because it was the land of promise. It was a type of heaven, that better country, which he declared plainly he expected, ( Hebrews 11:14 ) . Nothing will better help to make a death-bed easy, than the certain prospect of rest in the heavenly Canaan after death. When this was done, Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head, worshipping God, as it is explained, see ( Hebrews 11:21 ) , giving God thanks for all his favours; in feebleness thus supporting himself, expressing his willingness to leave the world. Even those who lived on Joseph's provision, and Jacob who was so dear to him, must die. But Christ Jesus gives us the true bread, that we may eat and live for ever. To Him let us come and yield ourselves, and when we draw near to death, he who supported us through life, will meet us and assure us of everlasting salvation.
Genesis 47:1-31 . JOSEPH'S PRESENTATION AT COURT.
1. Joseph . . . told Pharaoh, My father and my brethren--Joseph furnishes a beautiful example of a man who could bear equally well the extremes of prosperity and adversity. High as he was, he did not forget that he had a superior. Dearly as he loved his father and anxiously as he desired to provide for the whole family, he would not go into the arrangements he had planned for their stay in Goshen until he had obtained the sanction of his royal master.
2. he took some of his brethren--probably the five eldest brothers: seniority being the least invidious principle of selection.
4. For to sojourn . . . are we come--The royal conversation took the course which Joseph had anticipated ( Genesis 46:33 ), and they answered according to previous instructions--manifesting, however, in their determination to return to Canaan, a faith and piety which affords a hopeful symptom of their having become all, or most of them, religious men.
7. Joseph brought in Jacob his father--There is a pathetic and most affecting interest attending this interview with royalty; and when, with all the simplicity and dignified solemnity of a man of God, Jacob signalized his entrance by imploring the divine blessing on the royal head, it may easily be imagined what a striking impression the scene would produce (compare Hebrews 7:7 ).
8. Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?--The question was put from the deep and impressive interest which the appearance of the old patriarch had created in the minds of Pharaoh and his court. In the low-lying land of Egypt and from the artificial habits of its society, the age of man was far shorter among the inhabitants of that country than it had yet become in the pure bracing climate and among the simple mountaineers of Canaan. The Hebrews, at least, still attained a protracted longevity.
9. The days of the years of my pilgrimage, &c.--Though a hundred thirty years, he reckons by days (compare Psalms 90:12 ), which he calls few, as they appeared in retrospect, and evil, because his life had been one almost unbroken series of trouble. The answer is remarkable, considering the comparative darkness of the patriarchal age (compare 2 Timothy 1:10 ).
11. Joseph placed his father and his brethren . . . in the best of the land--best pasture land in lower Egypt. Goshen, "the land of verdure," lay along the Pelusiac or eastern branch of the Nile. It included a part of the district of Heliopolis, or "On," the capital, and on the east stretched out a considerable length into the desert. The ground included within these boundaries was a rich and fertile extent of natural meadow, and admirably adapted for the purposes of the Hebrew shepherds (compare Genesis 49:24 , Psalms 34:10;,78:72 Psalms 78:72 ).
13-15. there was no bread in all the land--This probably refers to the second year of the famine ( Genesis 45:6 ) when any little stores of individuals or families were exhausted and when the people had become universally dependent on the government. At first they obtained supplies for payment. Before long "money failed.
16. And Joseph said, Give your cattle--"This was the wisest course that could be adopted for the preservation both of the people and the cattle, which, being bought by Joseph, was supported at the royal expense, and very likely returned to the people at the end of the famine, to enable them to resume their agricultural labors."
21. as for the people, he removed them to cities--obviously for the convenience of the country people, who were doing nothing, to the cities where the corn stores were situated.
22. Only the land of the priests bought he not--These lands were inalienable, being endowments by which the temples were supported. The priests for themselves received an annual allowance of provision from the state, and it would evidently have been the height of cruelty to withhold that allowance when their lands were incapable of being tilled.
23-28. Joseph said, Behold, &c.--The lands being sold to the government ( Genesis 47:19 Genesis 47:20 ), seed would be distributed for the first crop after the famine; and the people would occupy them as tenants-at-will on the payment of a produce rent, almost the same rule as obtains in Egypt in the present day.
29-31. the time drew nigh that Israel must die--One only of his dying arrangements is recorded; but that one reveals his whole character. It was the disposal of his remains, which were to be carried to Canaan, not from a mere romantic attachment to his native soil, nor, like his modern descendants, from a superstitious feeling for the soil of the Holy Land, but from faith in the promises. His address to Joseph--"if now I have found grace in thy sight," that is, as the vizier of Egypt--his exacting a solemn oath that his wishes would be fulfilled and the peculiar form of that oath, all pointed significantly to the promise and showed the intensity of his desire to enjoy its blessings (compare Numbers 10:29 ).
31. Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head--Oriental beds are mere mats, having no head, and the translation should be "the top of his staff," as the apostle renders it ( Hebrews 11:21 ).
