text: Albert Einstein knew a thing or two about problem-solving. He once said that if he had one hour to save the planet, he'd spend 59 minutes defining the problem. And one minute resolving it. We work with clients upstream — at business, category or brand level. Often to find the right problem. We're fluent in commerce, audience, analytics, market and competition, so we can get to the nub of the issue. Through this understanding, and a relentless curiosity, we apply our creativity to the right problems. Frank Zappa was a musician, songwriter, composer and bandleader. Famed for putting potential band members through the most testing of auditions. Too often guitarists would procrastinate, talking at length about their approach rather than playing. "Shut up 'n play yer guitar" was Frank's response. The outputs of strategy are often pyramids, onions and PowerPoint decks; blunt instruments. Meaning that strategy doesn't always translate into execution. Because it's not easy for everyone to understand what the direction is. We like to create tangible outputs as part of our strategic process, so ideas become real and people can make them happen. Lennon and McCartney didn't divide up roles and responsibilities. They didn't follow a rigid formula where words followed music, or vice versa. One wasn't solely the lyricist, the other melody maker. They freewheeled. We see our whole process as creative, not just the part traditionally labelled as such. We foster an environment where strategic and creative brains can collaborate on strategic and executional decisions. Working in tandem, not as part of a step-by-step, sequential process. An adman once told Terence Conran that he looked after the Tango brand. Conran said that he liked the ads, but didn't think much of the can. "Oh, we don't do that," replied the adman. "But you said you looked after the brand," responded Terence, "the can is the brand." Conran understood that brands are built on every interaction they have with their audience. And he's applied this holistic approach to every brand he's built. We apply our strategic and creative skills to every aspect of a brand: internally and externally. Not just logos and communications, but products and services, environments, behaviour and culture. Some say that every story can be boiled down to one of seven basic plots. Tragedy, comedy, overcoming the monster, voyage and return, quest, rags to riches, and rebirth. But if only seven ideas, why so many books? Because originality comes from how a plot is shaped: through the style, the voice and the imagination that brings language, people and places to life. We bring brand ideas to life through our ability to give them a voice, and our ability to manipulate form in a way that can move people. We understand and value the importance of our craft, because we know that a great idea without a great execution is a hallucination. Making a movie is tough. Everybody needs to pull together towards the common goal. The cast, crew, producers, writer and director need a shared understanding. Egos are best parked. If filmmaking were a solo pursuit, then no writer would hand his or her material over to a producer or director ever again. We build brands through collaboration – just like making a movie. Clients are integral to its success. So too are the right partners — we collaborate with the best in the business to build multidimensional brands. We involve the right people in the process, ensuring everyone's expertise is maximised. No football team has ever captured the imagination like the Brazil side of 1970. Pele, Jairzinho and Carlos Alberto combining to thrash home the goal that set the blueprint for Brazilian football. A symphony of rhythm, agility and instinct. Putting a sense of adventure above stifling tactics. They understood that culture is way more important than process. We don't have a set formula for ideas, and you can't force them into existence by using rigid procedures with CleverNames™. Our process is intuitive and fluid: it changes to suit every client. Google Search was in beta for more than a year. Netscape put their efforts into an official release. Google understood the importance of getting their best thinking in front of the end user. And of promising that something even better was on its way; Netscape didn't. We like to get on and start stuff, staying in perpetual beta – not waiting to get things totally right before launch. Because today's brands are built on millions of tiny, ongoing interactions with people, that are tested and refined along the way. We work in a fast and responsive way, building brands in realtime – not 12-month cycles. Open water was a dangerous place for allied ships during the first world war. It was impossible to sufficiently camouflage all ships in all sea conditions. So Norman Wilkinson did the opposite. Borrowing from modernist art, he devised a way to optically distort the appearance of each ship, in order to confuse the enemy rather than conceal. We like to look at things sideways, because innovation lies in taking something that worked over here and using it over there. We actively deploy our strategic and creative expertise across a deliberately wide range of business challenges. We work with clients of all shapes and sizes: from multinationals to startups, public sector organisations to charities.

This collection was found in the attic of the Chapel of the Flowers Mortuary in Ogden, Utah. The papers were stuffed in an old leather satchel. The collection consists of numerous poems, a small number of articles, a number of news clippings, and two letters. The words �H. E. Prall, Prairie Poet� are handwritten on many of the manuscript items. There are also news clippings of a column of �Open Forum by H. E. Prall.� The clippings are undated; however, some of them are identified as columns from the Star Valley Independent , Star Valley, Wyoming. Many of the poems are written about the land, homesteading, war, and the depression. One could assume from reviewing the collection that much of the writing was done during the �Great Depression� of the 1930's, by H. E.

Not quite that easy. Try to allocate between QPP and CPP:
a) 15% dropout provision plus child rearing provision,
b) 40 best years out of the contributory period.
Was year 1989 (e.g.) in a) or b)? Does it depend on where you lived on 31-12-1988, or 31-12-1989, or some other test, like whatever suits the applicant? Now go into allocating each month, which is how CPP does its calculations IIRC.

Lorac At-A-Glance
Strengths: Mostly great foundations in a neutral shade range; beautiful pressed powder and bronzing powder; several super blush and lipstick options; one superior lip gloss; awesome collection of shimmer products.
Weaknesses: Limited, average skin-care options; average to problematic concealers; unimpressive eyelining and brow-enhancing options; the Lotsa Lip products; the mascaras are a mixed bag with mostly disappointing results; no brushes.
This Los Angeles–based independent cosmetics company launched in 1990 and is the brainchild of makeup artist Carol Shaw (Lorac is "Carol" spelled backwards). It is well-publicized that Shaw has a long list of celebrity clients, but then so do all of the other makeup artists who have their own products lines—there are a lot of famous faces that need attention—so that boast is hardly unique. Compared to competitors Bobbi Brown, Trish McEvoy, or Stila, Lorac doesn't offer the same caliber of foundation colors or the array of products, yet most of what's available is impressive. The company holds its own when it comes to blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick. You will find that, for the most part, the older, established products perform better and are more attractive than many of Shaw's latest inventions. In particular, the latest lipstick, lip gloss, concealer, and waterproof mascara are true disappointments. Lorac hasn't done a great job on the innovation and performance side of the business since the last edition of this book, while her competition (particularly Stila and Laura Mercier) continues to consistently impress. There are still plenty of reasons to shop this line, but focus on the long-standing products rather than on what's new.
For more information about Lorac, call (800) 845-0705 or visit www.loraccosmetics.com.

Only been on this for 5 days now, but already feeling a difference. I was always tired and i feel as though i have a lot more energy to do things. As of yet i haven't done any exercising but am due to start the gym (again) next week. I've been taking 2 Omega 3, 2 CLA, 1 Thermopure and 1 vitamin tablet in the morning and 2 Omega 3 and 2 CLA tablets after lunch. I feel as though my appetite has been suppressed and i don't find myself snacking like i usually do, also i don't eat as big a portion of food. The tablets are getting easier to swallow! Had some issues with the bigger ones (Omegas 3 and CLA) at first, but just use plenty of water. The only issue i've had is with the shake drink, i don't like bits in fruit juices so i struggle drinking this, i've only ever been able to finish one whole drink. Also, i don't find the Double Chocolate tastes like chocolate, its more of a nutty flavour. So i think i'll be trying a different flavour. Not sure which part it is (tablets or drink or a mixture of all of them) but something leaves a weird after taste, its not until about 20 minutes later that you start tasting it. Other than the bits in the shake problem I'm very happy with this bundle, the only thing i would change is being able to pick which flavour you would want. Definite 4.5 stars
Bought this bundle with the plan of using it along side my meal plan and training regime to help get rid of that stubborn excess fat. I am already seeing results. Fantastic products, work well combined with some Impact Whey Protein for after sessions. Would recommend to anyone for the value for money in this bundle. The thermopure is brilliant, no side effects and no come down after. Impact Diet Whey mixes well and tastes quality. Will definitely be purchasing again!!!
Great bundle at a great price. Effective results as part as an active dietary plan. Agree with the dude above re tablet amounts so I bought more CLA at the same time. This would be a 5 star bundle if you could choose your Whey Protein flavour, I am not a fan of chocolate flavour products :(Goes Well With:Water, Skimmed Milk...Exercise
First day and already feeling much more productive! just had one of the best workouts ive ever had and i feel energetic and healthy! im also following a diet plan for weight loss from this site. could do with some more omega pills as they will run out before the end of the month but overall great product.Goes Well With:Skimmed Milk, Creatine
i have been loosing weight steadily but had recently hit a plateau. Using the weight loss bundle coupled with increasing the amount of exercise i do has helped me power through and i have continued to loose weight at an increased pace.
Well i am new to all this, one of my buddies recommended it to go along with my 5/2 diet, and i can see that this is going to work well. Currently sipping on a shake now, and its lovely tasting, smooth and thick. Lovely! I did what my friend recommended, and i blended it. Personally, i do not think the metal ball will dissolve all of the powder, so it may become lumpy. But i will sure find that out soon enough. On the side of "MyProtein" cannot fault then one bit. Ordered it last night at about 19:50 and it arrived here the next day at about noon. Brilliant communication and would definitely recommend to a friend and anyone reading this! Looking forward to trying some of the different flavors out!Goes Well With:I haven't yet tried it, but a friend has said banana so looking forward to that!
This bundle appears to be working well and I am following the dietary plan as to when I should and shouldn't be taking the tablets and protein at meal times. My only problem is that the protein tastes really grainy and lumpy at times and I'm not particularly a fan of chocolate. But overall I would recommend this product!!
I am completely new to this brand so am excited about the prospect of enhanced weightloss through using the Diet & Weightloss Bundle. Tried various other shake meal replacements to no avail so when this was recommended by a family member who is a marathon runner I thought nothing to lose,,,, well apart from fat!!. My only criticism is the consistency of the shake, I use a blender to mix it up instead of simply shaking the bottle and there still appear to be 'bits' in the shake, is this normal is it part of the whey? If so then am happy that am doing it right and it's simply just me adjusting to the texture rather than a completely smooth shake, other than that it tastes awesome!! looking to see the effects it brings.
I have definately lost a lot of body fat, following the plan set out on this website and doing compound exercises. Agree with the other two dudes, Protein and CLA don't last long so had to order more, CHOC MINT flavour protein is far better and should come with it, other then that I am pleased with the bundle!Goes Well With:Water, Almond Milk
Great taste, great mix! But as with a few of the other comments on this bundle, the diet whey pouch does not last the 30 days as stated if used as recommended 2x 2 scoops a day. Will have to purchase additional pouch as to not run out.Goes Well With:water, milk
this bundle is a great, well priced bundle. I,ve managed to lose fat mass and feel much better about myself due to loosing this body fat. I would recommend this, the impact whey is weird at first and does take some getting used to but a great flavour. I know sometimes the chocolate flavoured protein can be poor but this product is a great tasting one.Goes Well With:milks the best but water is also good
I lost a lot of body fat and I've become a lot leaner since I stared using this Weight Loss Bundle. The only problem though is that some tablets run out before the whole thing finishes. Overall this has definitely given me the energy to keep to my goals.

Eggs are one of the most common allergy-causing foods in children.
Egg allergy symptoms usually occur a few minutes to a few hours after eating eggs or foods containing eggs. Signs and symptoms range from mild to severe and can include skin rashes, hives, nasal inflammation, and vomiting or other digestive problems. Rarely, egg allergy can cause anaphylaxis — a life-threatening reaction.
Egg allergy can occur as early as infancy. Most children outgrow their egg allergy before adolescence. But in some cases, it continues into adulthood.
Egg allergy reactions vary from person to person and usually occur soon after exposure to egg. Egg allergy symptoms can include:
A severe allergic reaction can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening emergency that requires an immediate epinephrine (adrenaline) shot and a trip to the emergency room. Anaphylaxis signs and symptoms include:
If you or your child has a reaction to eggs, discuss this with a doctor no matter how mild it may have been. The severity of egg allergy reactions can vary each time one occurs. This means that even if you or your child had a mild reaction in the past, the next reaction could be more serious.
If your doctor thinks you or your child may be at risk of a severe reaction, the doctor may prescribe an emergency epinephrine shot to be used if anaphylaxis occurs. The shot comes in a device that makes it easy to deliver, called an autoinjector.
See a doctor if you or your child has signs or symptoms of a food allergy shortly after eating eggs or a product that contains eggs. If possible, see the doctor when the allergic reaction is occurring. This may help in making a diagnosis.
If you or your child has signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, seek immediate emergency treatment and use an autoinjector if one has been prescribed.
All food allergies are caused by an immune system overreaction. The immune system mistakenly identifies certain egg proteins as harmful. When you or your child comes in contact with egg proteins, immune system cells (antibodies) recognize them and signal the immune system to release histamine and other chemicals that cause allergic signs and symptoms.
Both egg yolks and egg whites contain proteins that can cause allergies, but allergy to egg whites is most common. It's possible for breast-fed infants to have an allergic reaction to egg proteins in breast milk if the mother consumes eggs.
Certain factors may increase the risk of developing an egg allergy:
The most significant complication of egg allergy is having a severe allergic reaction requiring an epinephrine injection and emergency treatment.
The same immune system reaction that causes egg allergy can also cause other conditions. If you or your child has an egg allergy, you or your child may be at increased risk of:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or pediatrician. You may be referred to a doctor who specializes in allergic disorders (allergist-immunologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from the doctor.
Your time with your child's doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of it. For egg allergy, some basic questions to ask the doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask these or other questions at any time during the appointment.
Your child's doctor is likely to ask you and your child a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over other points. The doctor may ask:
If you or your child has mild allergy symptoms after eating something containing eggs, taking an antihistamine may help ease the discomfort. But, be on the lookout for worsening symptoms that might require medical attention. If you or your child has a severe reaction, seek immediate medical care.
There's no one test used to diagnose egg allergy. Your doctor will use several approaches, and will want to rule out other conditions that could be causing allergy-like symptoms. In many cases, what at first seems to be an egg allergy is actually caused by food intolerance. This type of reaction is generally less serious than an egg allergy and doesn't involve the immune system.
Your doctor will start with these two basic steps:
Your doctor may also recommend one or more of the following tests:
Blood and skin tests are often used along with food challenges and diet changes.
If your doctor suspects symptoms may be caused by something other than a food allergy, you or your child may need tests to identify — or rule out — other possible causes.
There's no medication or other treatment that can cure an egg allergy or prevent someone with a food allergy from having an allergic reaction. The only way to prevent egg allergy symptoms is to avoid eggs or egg products. This can be difficult, as eggs are a common food ingredient. However, you may find that you or your child can tolerate eggs that have been cooked into foods, such as when they are an ingredient in baked goods.
Despite your best efforts, you or your child may still come into contact with eggs. Medications, such as antihistamines, may reduce signs and symptoms of a mild egg allergy. These drugs can be taken after exposure to eggs. But, they aren't effective for preventing an allergic egg reaction or for treating a severe reaction.
If you or your child is at risk of a severe reaction, you may need to carry an emergency epinephrine injector (EpiPen, EpiPen Jr, Twinject) at all times. If you or your child develops anaphylaxis after egg exposure, you or your child will need an emergency epinephrine shot and a trip to the emergency room. Even if anaphylaxis symptoms improve, you or your child will need to remain under medical supervision for a period of time to be sure severe symptoms don't return.
If you or your child does have an autoinjector, be sure it's always available. Learn how to use it properly. If your child has one, make sure caregivers have access to it and know how to use it. If your child is old enough, make sure he or she also understands how to use it. Replace the autoinjector before its expiration date. Otherwise, it may not work properly.
There's no cure for egg allergy, but most children will eventually outgrow it. Talk to your child's doctor about how often he or she should be tested to see whether eggs still cause symptoms. This may be yearly, or on another schedule depending on your child's symptoms and the doctor's recommendations. It may be unsafe for you to test your child's reaction to eggs at home, particularly if your child has had a severe reaction to eggs in the past.
Here are some things you can do to avoid an allergic reaction, and to keep it from getting worse if one does occur.
Unfortunately, even if a food is labeled egg-free it may still contain some allergy-causing egg proteins. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer to be sure a product does not contain eggs.
Foods that contain eggs can include:
Several terms indicate that egg products have been used in manufacturing processed foods. Terms that can indicate egg proteins are present include:
Another potential source of exposure is cross-contamination in home-prepared dishes or meals, especially when you're eating in other people's homes where they may not be aware of the risk.
People who are very sensitive to egg proteins have a reaction when they touch eggs or egg products. Nonfood products that sometimes contain egg include:
Some shots to prevent illness (vaccines) contain egg proteins. In some people, these vaccines pose a risk of triggering an allergic reaction.

The sickness of Lazarus. (1-6) Christ returns to Judea. (7-10) The death of Lazarus. (11-16) Christ arrives at Bethany. (17-32) He raises Lazarus. (33-46) The Pharisees consult against Jesus. (47-53) The Jews seek for him. (54-57)
Verses 1-6 It is no new thing for those whom Christ loves, to be sick; bodily distempers correct the corruption, and try the graces of God's people. He came not to preserve his people from these afflictions, but to save them from their sins, and from the wrath to come; however, it behoves us to apply to Him in behalf of our friends and relatives when sick and afflicted. Let this reconcile us to the darkest dealings of Providence, that they are all for the glory of God: sickness, loss, disappointment, are so; and if God be glorified, we ought to be satisfied. Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. The families are greatly favoured in which love and peace abound; but those are most happy whom Jesus loves, and by whom he is beloved. Alas, that this should seldom be the case with every person, even in small families. God has gracious intentions, even when he seems to delay. When the work of deliverance, temporal or spiritual, public or personal, is delayed, it does but stay for the right time.
Verses 7-10 Christ never brings his people into any danger but he goes with them in it. We are apt to think ourselves zealous for the Lord, when really we are only zealous for our wealth, credit, ease, and safety; we have therefore need to try our principles. But our day shall be lengthened out, till our work is done, and our testimony finished. A man has comfort and satisfaction while in the way of his duty, as set forth by the word of God, and determined by the providence of God. Christ, wherever he went, walked in the day; and so shall we, if we follow his steps. If a man walks in the way of his heart, and according to the course of this world, if he consults his own carnal reasonings more than the will and glory of God, he falls into temptations and snares. He stumbles, because there is no light in him; for light in us is to our moral actions, that which light about us to our natural actions.
Verses 11-16 Since we are sure to rise again at the last, why should not the believing hope of that resurrection to eternal life, make it as easy for us to put off the body and die, as it is to put off our clothes and go to sleep? A true Christian, when he dies, does but sleep; he rests from the labours of the past day. Nay, herein death is better than sleep, that sleep is only a short rest, but death is the end of earthly cares and toils. The disciples thought that it was now needless for Christ to go to Lazarus, and expose himself and them. Thus we often hope that the good work we are called to do, will be done by some other hand, if there be peril in the doing of it. But when Christ raised Lazarus from the dead, many were brought to believe on him; and there was much done to make perfect the faith of those that believed. Let us go to him; death cannot separate from the love of Christ, nor put us out of the reach of his call. Like Thomas, in difficult times Christians should encourage one another. The dying of the Lord Jesus should make us willing to die whenever God calls us.
Verses 17-32 Here was a house where the fear of God was, and on which his blessing rested; yet it was made a house of mourning. Grace will keep sorrow from the heart, but not from the house. When God, by his grace and providence, is coming towards us in ways of mercy and comfort, we should, like Martha, go forth by faith, hope, and prayer, to meet him. When Martha went to meet Jesus, Mary sat still in the house; this temper formerly had been an advantage to her, when it put her at Christ's feet to hear his word; but in the day of affliction, the same temper disposed her to melancholy. It is our wisdom to watch against the temptations, and to make use of the advantages of our natural tempers. When we know not what in particular to ask or expect, let us refer ourselves to God; let him do as seemeth him good. To enlarge Martha's expectations, our Lord declared himself to be the Resurrection and the Life. In every sense he is the Resurrection; the source, the substance, the first-fruits, the cause of it. The redeemed soul lives after death in happiness; and after the resurrection, both body and soul are kept from all evil for ever. When we have read or heard the word of Christ, about the great things of the other world, we should put it to ourselves, Do we believe this truth? The crosses and comforts of this present time would not make such a deep impression upon us as they do, if we believed the things of eternity as we ought. When Christ our Master comes, he calls for us. He comes in his word and ordinances, and calls us to them, calls us by them, calls us to himself. Those who, in a day of peace, set themselves at Christ's feet to be taught by him, may with comfort, in a day of trouble, cast themselves at his feet, to find favour with him.
Verses 33-46 Christ's tender sympathy with these afflicted friends, appeared by the troubles of his spirit. In all the afflictions of believers he is afflicted. His concern for them was shown by his kind inquiry after the remains of his deceased friend. Being found in fashion as a man, he acts in the way and manner of the sons of men. It was shown by his tears. He was a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. Tears of compassion resemble those of Christ. But Christ never approved that sensibility of which many are proud, while they weep at mere tales of distress, but are hardened to real woe. He sets us an example to withdraw from scenes of giddy mirth, that we may comfort the afflicted. And we have not a High Priest who cannot be touched with a feeling of our infirmities. It is a good step toward raising a soul to spiritual life, when the stone is taken away, when prejudices are removed, and got over, and way is made for the word to enter the heart. If we take Christ's word, and rely on his power and faithfulness, we shall see the glory of God, and be happy in the sight. Our Lord Jesus has taught us, by his own example, to call God Father, in prayer, and to draw nigh to him as children to a father, with humble reverence, yet with holy boldness. He openly made this address to God, with uplifted eyes and loud voice, that they might be convinced the Father had sent him as his beloved Son into the world. He could have raised Lazarus by the silent exertion of his power and will, and the unseen working of the Spirit of life; but he did it by a loud call. This was a figure of the gospel call, by which dead souls are brought out of the grave of sin: and of the sound of the archangel's trumpet at the last day, with which all that sleep in the dust shall be awakened, and summoned before the great tribunal. The grave of sin and this world, is no place for those whom Christ has quickened; they must come forth. Lazarus was thoroughly revived, and returned not only to life, but to health. The sinner cannot quicken his own soul, but he is to use the means of grace; the believer cannot sanctify himself, but he is to lay aside every weight and hinderance. We cannot convert our relatives and friends, but we should instruct, warn, and invite them.
Verses 47-53 There can hardly be a more clear discovery of the madness that is in man's heart, and of its desperate enmity against God, than what is here recorded. Words of prophecy in the mouth, are not clear evidence of a principle of grace in the heart. The calamity we seek to escape by sin, we take the most effectual course to bring upon our own heads; as those do who think by opposing Christ's kingdom, to advance their own worldly interest. The fear of the wicked shall come upon them. The conversion of souls is the gathering of them to Christ as their ruler and refuge; and he died to effect this. By dying he purchased them to himself, and the gift of the Holy Ghost for them: his love in dying for believers should unite them closely together.
Verses 54-57 Before our gospel passover we must renew our repentance. Thus by a voluntary purification, and by religious exercises, many, more devout than their neighbours, spent some time before the passover at Jerusalem. When we expect to meet God, we must solemnly prepare. No devices of man can alter the purposes of God: and while hypocrites amuse themselves with forms and disputes, and worldly men pursue their own plans, Jesus still orders all things for his own glory and the salvation of his people.
John 11:1-46 . LAZARUS RAISED FROM THE DEAD--THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS.
1. of Bethany--at the east side of Mount Olivet.
the town of Mary and her sister Martha--thus distinguishing it from the other Bethany, "beyond Jordan." John 10:40 ).
2. It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, &c.--This, though not recorded by our Evangelist till John 12:3 , was so well known in the teaching of all the churches, according to our Lord's prediction ( Matthew 26:13 ), that it is here alluded to by anticipation, as the most natural way of identifying her; and she is first named, though the younger, as the more distinguished of the two. She "anointed THE LORD," says the Evangelist--led doubtless to the use of this term here, as he was about to exhibit Him illustriously as the Lord of Life.
3-5. his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, he whom thou lovest is sick--a most womanly appeal, yet how reverential, to the known affection of her Lord for the patient. (See John 11:5 John 11:11 ). "Those whom Christ loves are no more exempt than others from their share of earthly trouble and anguish: rather are they bound over to it more surely" [TRENCH].
4. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death--to result in death.
but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby--that is, by this glory of God. (See Greek.) Remarkable language this, which from creature lips would have been intolerable. It means that the glory of GOD manifested in the resurrection of dead Lazarus would be shown to be the glory, personally and immediately, of THE SON.
5. Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus--what a picture!--one that in every age has attracted the admiration of the whole Christian Church. No wonder that those miserable skeptics who have carped at the ethical system of the Gospel, as not embracing private friendships in the list of its virtues, have been referred to the Saviour's peculiar regard for this family as a triumphant refutation, if such were needed.
6. When he heard he was sick, he abode two days still . . . where he was--at least twenty-five miles off. Beyond all doubt this was just to let things come to their worst, in order to display His glory. But how trying, meantime, to the faith of his friends, and how unlike the way in which love to a dying friend usually shows itself, on which it is plain that Mary reckoned. But the ways of divine are not as the ways of human love. Often they are the reverse. When His people are sick, in body or spirit; when their case is waxing more and more desperate every day; when all hope of recovery is about to expire--just then and therefore it is that "He abides two days still in the same place where He is." Can they still hope against hope? Often they do not; but "this is their infirmity." For it is His chosen style of acting. We have been well taught it, and should not now have the lesson to learn. From the days of Moses was it given sublimely forth as the character of His grandest interpositions, that "the Lord will judge His people and repent Himself for His servants"--when He seeth that their power is gone ( Deuteronomy 32:36 ).
7-10. Let us go into Judea again--He was now in Perea, "beyond Jordan."
8. His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought, &c.--literally, "were (just) now seeking" "to stone thee" ( John 10:31 ).
goest thou thither again?--to certain death, as John 11:16 shows they thought.
9. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the Our Lord's day had now reached its eleventh hour, and having till now "walked in the day," He would not mistime the remaining and more critical part of His work, which would be as fatal, He says, as omitting it altogether; for "if a man (so He speaks, putting Himself under the same great law of duty as all other men--if a man) walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him."
11-16. Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may wake him out of sleep--Illustrious title! "Our friend Lazarus." To Abraham only is it accorded in the Old Testament, and not till after his death, ( 2 Chronicles 20:7 , Isaiah 41:8 ), to which our attention is called in the New Testament ( James 2:23 ). When Jesus came in the flesh, His forerunner applied this name, in a certain sense, to himself ( John 3:29 ); and into the same fellowship the Lord's chosen disciples are declared to have come ( John 15:13-15 ). "The phrase here employed, "our friend Lazarus," means more than "he whom Thou lovest" in John 11:3 , for it implies that Christ's affection was reciprocated by Lazarus" [LAMPE]. Our Lord had been told only that Lazarus was "sick." But the change which his two days' delay had produced is here tenderly alluded to. Doubtless, His spirit was all the while with His dying, and now dead "friend." The symbol of "sleep" for death is common to all languages, and familiar to us in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, however, a higher meaning is put into it, in relation to believers in Jesus sense hinted at, and clearly, in Psalms 17:15 [LUTHARDT]; and the "awaking out of sleep" acquires a corresponding sense far transcending bare resuscitation.
12. if he sleep, he shall do well--literally, "be preserved"; that is, recover. "Why then go to Judea?"
14. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead--Says BENGEL beautifully, "Sleep is the death of the saints, in the language of heaven; but this language the disciples here understood not; incomparable is the generosity of the divine manner of discoursing, but such is the slowness of men's apprehension that Scripture often has to descend to the more miserable style of human discourse; compare Matthew 16:11 ."
15. I am glad for your sakes I was not there--This certainly implies that if He had been present, Lazarus would not have died; not because He could not have resisted the importunities of the sisters, but because, in presence of the personal Life, death could not have reached His friend [LUTHARDT]. "It is beautifully congruous to the divine decorum that in presence of the Prince of Life no one is ever said to have died" [BENGEL].
that ye may believe--This is added to explain His "gladness" at not having been present. His friend's death, as such, could not have been to Him "joyous"; the sequel shows it was "grievous"; but for them it was safe ( Philippians 3:1 ).
16. Thomas, . . . called Didymus--or "the twin."
Let us also go, that we may die with him--lovely spirit, though tinged with some sadness, such as reappears at John 14:5 , showing the tendency of this disciple to take the dark view of things. On a memorable occasion this tendency opened the door to downright, though but momentary, unbelief ( John 20:25 ). Here, however, though alleged by many interpreters there is nothing of the sort. He perceives clearly how this journey to Judea will end, as respects his Master, and not only sees in it peril to themselves, as they all did, but feels as if he could not and cared not to survive his Master's sacrifice to the fury of His enemies. It was that kind of affection which, living only in the light of its Object, cannot contemplate, or has no heart for life, without it.
17-19. when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days--If he died on the day the tidings came of his illness--and was, according to the Jewish custom, buried the same day (see JAHN'S Archæology, and John 11:39 , Acts 5:5 Acts 5:6 Acts 5:10 )--and if Jesus, after two days' further stay in Perea, set out on the day following for Bethany, some ten hours' journey, that would make out the four days; the first and last being incomplete [MEYER].
18. Bethany was nigh Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs--rather less than two miles; mentioned to explain the visits of sympathy noticed in the following words, which the proximity of the two places facilitated.
19. many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary to comfort them--Thus were provided, in a most natural way, so many witnesses of the glorious miracle that was to follow, as to put the fact beyond possible question.
20-22. Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him--true to the energy and activity of her character, as seen in Luke 10:38-42 .
but Mary sat . . . in the house--equally true to her placid character. These undesigned touches not only charmingly illustrate the minute historic fidelity of both narratives, but their inner harmony.
21. Then said Martha . . . Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died--As Mary afterwards said the same thing ( John 11:32 ), it is plain they had made this very natural remark to each other, perhaps many times during these four sad days, and not without having their confidence in His love at times overclouded. Such trials of faith, however, are not peculiar to them.
22. But I know that even now, &c.--Energetic characters are usually sanguine, the rainbow of hope peering through the drenching cloud.
whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee--that is "even to the restoration of my dead brother to life," for that plainly is her meaning, as the sequel shows.
23-27. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again--purposely expressing Himself in general terms, to draw her out.
24. Martha said, . . . I know that he shall rise again . . . at the last day--"But are we never to see him in life till then?"
25. Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life--"The whole power to restore, impart, and maintain life, resides in Me." this grand saying can be conceived?
he that believeth in me, though . . . dead . . . shall he live--that is, The believer's death shall be swallowed up in life, and his life shall never sink into death. As death comes by sin, it is His to dissolve it; and as life flows through His righteousness, it is His to communicate and eternally maintain it ( Romans 5:21 ). The temporary separation of soul and body is here regarded as not even interrupting, much less impairing, the new and everlasting life imparted by Jesus to His believing people.
Believest thou this?--Canst thou take this in?
27. Yea, . . . I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, &c.--that is, And having such faith in Thee, I can believe all which that comprehends. While she had a glimmering perception that Resurrection, in every sense of the word, belonged to the Messianic office and Sonship of Jesus, she means, by this way of expressing herself, to cover much that she felt her ignorance of--as no doubt belonging to Him.
28-32. The Master is come and calleth for thee--The narrative does not give us this interesting detail, but Martha's words do.
29. As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly--affection for her Lord, assurance of His sympathy, and His hope of interposition, putting a spring into her distressed spirit.
31. The Jews . . . followed her . . . to the grave--Thus casually were provided witnesses of the glorious miracle that followed, not prejudiced, certainly, in favor of Him who wrought it.
to weep there--according to Jewish practice, for some days after burial.
fell at his feet--more impassioned than her sister, though her words
33-38. When Jesus . . . saw her weeping, and the Jews . . . weeping . . . he groaned in the spirit--the tears of Mary and her friends acting sympathetically upon Jesus, and drawing forth His emotions. What a vivid and beautiful outcoming of His "real" humanity! The word here rendered "groaned" does not mean "sighed" or "grieved," but rather "powerfully checked his emotion"--made a visible effort to restrain those tears which were ready to gush from His eyes.
and was troubled--rather, "troubled himself" (Margin); referring probably to this visible difficulty of repressing His emotions.
34. Where have ye laid him? . . . Lord, come and see--Perhaps it was to retain composure enough to ask this question, and on receiving the answer to proceed with them to the spot, that He checked Himself.
35. Jesus wept--This beautifully conveys the sublime brevity of the two original words; else "shed tears" might have better conveyed the difference between the word here used and that twice employed in John 11:33 , and there properly rendered "weeping," denoting the loud wail for the dead, while that of Jesus consisted of silent tears. Is it for nothing that the Evangelist, some sixty years after it occurred, holds up to all ages with such touching brevity the sublime spectacle of the Son of God in tears? What a seal of His perfect oneness with us in the most redeeming feature of our stricken humanity! But was there nothing in those tears beyond sorrow for human suffering and death? Could these effects move Him without suggesting the cause? Who can doubt that in His ear every feature of the scene proclaimed that stern law of the Kingdom, "The wages of sin is death" ( Romans 6:23 ), and that this element in His visible emotion underlay all the rest?
36. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!--We thank you, O ye visitors from Jerusalem, for this spontaneous testimony to the human tenderness of the Son of God.
37. And--rather, "But."
some . . . said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that this man should not have died?--The former exclamation came from the better-feeling portion of the spectators; this betokens a measure of suspicion. It hardly goes the length of attesting the miracle on the blind man; but "if (as everybody says) He did that, why could He not also have kept Lazarus alive?" As to the restoration of the dead man to life, they never so much as thought of it. But this disposition to dictate to divine power, and almost to peril our confidence in it upon its doing our bidding, is not confined to men of no faith.
38. Jesus again groaning in himself--that is, as at John 11:33 , checked or repressed His rising feelings, in the former instance, of sorrow, here of righteous indignation at their unreasonable unbelief; (compare Mark 3:5 ) [WEBSTER and WILKINSON]. But here, too, struggling emotion was deeper, now that His eye was about to rest on the spot where lay, in the still horrors of death, His "friend."
a cave--the cavity, natural or artificial, of a rock. This, with the number of condoling visitors from Jerusalem, and the costly ointment with which Mary afterwards anointed Jesus at Bethany, all go to show that the family was in good circumstances.
39-44. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone--spoken to the attendants of Martha and Mary; for it was a work of no little labor [GROTIUS]. According to the Talmudists, it was forbidden to open a grave after the stone was placed upon it. Besides other dangers, they were apprehensive of legal impurity by contact with the dead. Hence they avoided coming nearer a grave than four cubits [MAIMONIDES in LAMPE]. But He who touched the leper, and the bier of the widow of Nain's son, rises here also above these Judaic memorials of evils, every one of which He had come to roll away. Observe here what our Lord did Himself, and what He made others do. As Elijah himself repaired the altar on Carmel, arranged the wood, cut the victim, and placed the pieces on the fuel, but made the by-standers fill the surrounding trench with water, that no suspicion might arise of fire having been secretly applied to the pile ( 1 Kings 18:30-35 ); so our Lord would let the most skeptical see that, without laying a hand on the stone that covered His friend, He could recall him to life. But what could be done by human hand He orders to be done, reserving only to Himself what transcended the ability of all creatures.
Martha, the sister of . . . the dead--and as such the proper guardian of the precious remains; the relationship being here mentioned to account for her venturing gently to remonstrate against their exposure, in a state of decomposition, to eyes that had loved him so tenderly in life.
Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he hath been dead four It is wrong to suppose from this (as LAMPE and others do) that, like the by-standers, she had not thought of his restoration to life. But the glimmerings of hope which she cherished from the first ( John 11:22 ), and which had been brightened by what Jesus said to her ( John 11:23-27 ), had suffered a momentary eclipse on the proposal to expose the now sightless corpse. To such fluctuations all real faith is subject in dark hours. (See, for example, the case of Job).
40. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?--He had not said those very words, but this was the scope of all that He had uttered to her about His life-giving power ( John 11:23 John 11:25 John 11:26 ); a gentle yet emphatic and most instructive rebuke: "Why doth the restoration of life, even to a decomposing corpse, seem hopeless in the presence of the Resurrection and the Life? Hast thou yet to learn that 'if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth?'" ( Mark 9:23 ).
41. Jesus lifted up his eyes--an expression marking His calm solemnity. (Compare John 17:1 ).
Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me--rather, "heardest Me," referring to a specific prayer offered by Him, probably on intelligence of the case reaching Him ( John 11:3 John 11:4 ); for His living and loving oneness with the Father was maintained and manifested in the flesh, not merely by the spontaneous and uninterrupted outgoing of Each to Each in spirit, but by specific actings of faith and exercises of prayer about each successive case as it emerged. He prayed (says LUTHARDT well) not for what He wanted, but for the manifestation of what He had; and having the bright consciousness of the answer in the felt liberty to ask it, and the assurance that it was at hand, He gives thanks for this with a grand simplicity before performing the act.
42. And--rather, "Yet."
I knew that thou hearest me always, but because of the people that stand by I said it, that they might believe that thou hast sent me--Instead of praying now, He simply gives thanks for answer to prayer offered ere He left Perea, and adds that His doing even this, in the audience of the people, was not from any doubt of the prevalency of His prayers in any case, but to show the people that He did nothing without His Father, but all by direct communication with Him.
43, 44. and when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice--On one other occasion only did He this--on the cross. His last utterance was a "loud cry" ( Matthew 27:50 ). "He shall not cry," said the prophet, nor, in His ministry, did He. What a sublime contrast is this "loud cry" to the magical "whisperings" and "mutterings" of which we read in Isaiah 8:19 , 29:4 (as GROTIUS remarks)! It is second only to the grandeur of that voice which shall raise all the dead ( John 5:28 John 5:29 , 1 Thessalonians 4:16 ).
44. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him and let him go--Jesus will no more do this Himself than roll away the stone. The one was the necessary preparation for resurrection, the other the necessary sequel to it. THE LIFE-GIVING ACT ALONE HE RESERVES TO HIMSELF. So in the quickening of the dead to spiritual life, human instrumentality is employed first to prepare the way, and then to turn it to account.
45, 46. many . . . which . . . had seen . . . believed . . . But some . . . went . . . to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done--the two classes which continually reappear in the Gospel history; nor is there ever any great work of God which does not produce both. "It is remarkable that on each of the three occasions on which our Lord raised the dead, a large number of persons was assembled. In two instances, the resurrection of the widow's son and of Lazarus, these were all witnesses of the miracle; in the third (of Jairus' daughter) they were necessarily cognizant of it. Yet this important circumstance is in each case only incidentally noticed by the historians, not put forward or appealed to as a proof of their veracity. In regard to this miracle, we observe a greater degree of preparation, both in the provident arrangement of events, and in our Lord's actions and words than in any other. The preceding miracle (cure of the man born blind) is distinguished from all others by the open and formal investigation of its facts. And both these miracles, the most public and best attested of all, are related by John, who wrote long after the other Evangelists" [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
47-54. What do we? for this man doeth many miracles--"While we trifle, 'this man,' by His 'many miracles,' will carry all before Him; the popular enthusiasm will bring on a revolution, which will precipitate the Romans upon us, and our all will go down in one common ruin." What a testimony to the reality of our Lord's miracles, and their resistless effect, from His bitterest enemies!
51. Caiaphas . . . prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation--He meant nothing more than that the way to prevent the apprehended ruin of the nation was to make a sacrifice of the Disturber of their peace. But in giving utterance to this suggestion of political expediency, he was so guided as to give forth a divine prediction of deep significance; and God so ordered it that it should come from the lips of the high priest for that memorable year, the recognized head of God's visible people, whose ancient office, symbolized by the Urim and Thummim, was to decide in the last resort, all vital questions as the oracle of the divine will.
52. and not for that nation only, &c.--These are the Evangelist's words, not Caiaphas'.
53. they took council together to put him to death--Caiaphas but expressed what the party was secretly wishing, but afraid to propose.
Jesus . . . walked no more openly among the Jews--How could He, unless He had wished to die before His time?
near to the wilderness--of Judea.
a city called Ephraim--between Jerusalem and Jericho.
55-57. passover . . . at hand . . . many went . . . up . . . before the passover, to purify themselves--from any legal uncleanness which would have disqualified them from keeping the feast. This is mentioned to introduce the graphic statement which follows.
56. sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple--giving forth the various conjectures and speculations about the probability of His coming to the feast.
that he will not come--The form of this question implies the opinion that He would come.
57. chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment that if any knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him--This is mentioned to account for the conjectures whether He would come, in spite of this determination to seize Him.

Los Angeles Vacations
Your Los Angeles vacation
From the Sunset Strip to the Santa Monica Pier to Universal Studios, Los Angeles is full of silver-screen magic, beautiful people and American pop culture. Stroll the Venice Beach Boardwalk and count the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Dream about the celebrities you'll see, or how many times you can visit Disneyland, and leave the travel planning to Orbitz.
Our insiders share the best time to go on a Los Angeles vacation, where to go, plus insider gems from Long Beach to Union Station.
Best time to take a vacation to Los Angeles
With Los Angeles weather, it is hard to find a bad time to go to L.A. and rates are competitive year-round. Get in on the action during peak season (June to September) when the beach is full, the temperatures range from the 70s and into the 90s, and dinner reservations are key. March and April, and October through November bring mild temps and sunny skies, as well as late fall's cool Santa Ana winds.
But if tourists and sunshine aren't a concern, visit during winter (December to March) when rain is common, and the scene is a little more laid-back (exception: the awards ceremonies). And to fill your itinerary with celeb spotting, start with the Golden Globes in mid-January to late February, and the Oscars in late February or March. (Television lovers, the Emmys are in late summer.)

Italy's lower house to vote on austerity plan
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is expected to resign after the Italian
chamber of deputies adopts reform measures.
Last Modified: 12 Nov 2011 09:52
Al- Jazz
Berlusconi has said he will resign after the austerity package's adoption,
and not stand in new elections
The Italian chamber of deputies, or lower house, is expected to meet in a
special session to ratify an austerity package which, if adopted, could
trigger the resignation of Silvio Berlusconi , the Italian prime minister.
The Italian senate has already passed the measures by an overwhelming
majority, which are designed to avoid a bailout of the eurozone's third
largest economy.
The upper house of parliament voted 156-12 on Friday to pass the country's
budget bill, which included the reform measures. The law is due to be
approved by the lower house on Saturday.
Berlusconi has said he will step down once the austerity measures are
adopted. However, he is expected to hold one last cabinet meeting, before
officially handing in his resignation to the president.
There are mounting indications that economist Mario Monti will then be
chosen to head a transitional government to push through even more
difficult reforms.
Greek-style crisis
Italy is facing a Greek-style economic crisis that many fear would
threaten the existence of the entire eurozone and cause a global
Paving the way for Monti's appointment, Giorgio Napolitano, Italy's
president, made him a senator-for-life on Wednesday, in a surprise move
that raised his already high profile and instantly made him a legislator.
Mario Monti's potential role as Italy's leader
That would mean Napolitano may accept Berlusconi's resignation as early as
Saturday night, and formally mandate Monti to try to form a new government
soon afterwards.
Napolitano has urged parliament to act fast, and some analysts say a new
government, made up mostly of technocrats, could be in place as early as
Sunday night before markets open on Monday.
Napolitano moved quickly to calm markets on Wednesday after Italy's
borrowing costs reached levels that could close its access to market
funding, a development which would threaten the future of the eurozone.
He gave assurances that Berlusconi would honour his pledge to step down
after parliament approved reforms geared to placate markets, and he would
waste no time in either appointing a new government or calling new
Austerity plan
At first, Berlusconi had insisted that early elections were the only
option. But he has since softened his stand and is said by sources to be
open to a new government.
Monti has been pushed by markets for weeks as the most suitable figure to
lead a national unity government to urgently push through further
austerity measures.

text: These shoes are comfortable, really light, the mesh over the top is breathable, but like a light "synthetic" canvas which keeps out dust and dirt. Super grippy on bare rock, good on wet, (squeaky) on some surfaces, and awesome for light hiking. I walk in them and go shopping in them, even ride my bike with them and love how they feel. Like the description, the heel has a thicker cushion than shoes in the barefoot category. It's light like the bare access arc 3, but with more heel cushion. The colors are awesome too! Light as a slipper, but comfortable and supportive like a shoe. Love what you do with shoes Merrell!!!
