The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' attendant, saying, | 1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: |
2 Moses my servant is dead; and now, rise up, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land which I give unto them, to the children of Israel. | 2 "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them--to the Israelites. |
3 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread have I given to you, as I said unto Moses. | 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. |
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river, the river Euphrates, the whole land of the Hittites, to the great sea, toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border. | 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates--all the Hittite country--to the Great Sea on the west. |
5 None shall be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee; I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee. | 5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. |
6 Be strong and courageous, for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn unto their fathers to give them. | 6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. |
7 Only be strong and very courageous, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn not from it to the right or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. | 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. |
8 This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou have good success in thy ways, and then shalt thou prosper. | 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. |
9 Have I not commanded thee: Be strong and courageous? Be not afraid, neither be dismayed; for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. | 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." |
10 And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, | 10 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people: |
11 Go through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare yourselves victuals, for in three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, that ye may enter in to take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it. | 11 "Go through the camp and tell the people, 'Get your supplies ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you for your own.' " |
12 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh spoke Joshua, saying, | 12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, |
13 Remember the word that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God has given you rest and has given you this land. | 13 "Remember the command that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: 'The LORD your God is giving you rest and has granted you this land.' |
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall abide in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan, but ye, all the valiant men, shall go over in array before your brethren and help them, | 14 Your wives, your children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, fully armed, must cross over ahead of your brothers. You are to help your brothers |
15 until Jehovah give your brethren rest as to you, and they also take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth them; then shall ye return into the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sun-rising. | 15 until the LORD gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise." |
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us will we do, and whither thou shalt send us will we go. | 16 Then they answered Joshua, "Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. |
17 According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee; only may Jehovah thy God be with thee as he was with Moses. | 17 Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses. |
18 Every one that is rebellious against thy commandment and hearkeneth not to thy words in everything that thou commandest us, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous. | 18 Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey your words, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!" |

(Photo: David Berkowitz, center, speaks at SMW NYC 2012)
Recently we sat down with with David Berkowitz, Vice President of Emerging Media at 360i, and an Advisory Board Member for Social Media Week NYC. Here's what he had to say:
#1 What is your or your organization's greatest success with social media to date?
This past fall, 360i launched Oscar Mayer's The Great American Bacon Barter – the experiential and socially driven campaign centered around a cashless comedian as he bartered with the brand's new premium bacon for everything from an overnight stay in a mansion to renaming a town "Sizzle City" for the day. The comedian shared real-time video, text and picture updates across Oscar Mayer's social media properties (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, YouTube). The campaign became a cultural phenomenon, doubling conversations about Oscar Mayer and making it the most talked-about bacon brand online. At one point, "Bacon Barter" was tweeted every 60 seconds.
#2 What do you think is the most exciting thing happening in the emerging technology and/or new media space right now?
3D printing fascinates me. It's one of those rare fields that's truly disruptive. One of my colleagues is a Makerbot hobbyist, creating designs for products that can be produced by 3D printers. He told me how one day he needed shower curtain rings, so he went on Makerbot's design community called Thingiverse, found a design, and printed out the rings at home. Think about how many stages were disintermediated from the typical approach: the factory in China, distribution, a retailer like Bed Bath & Beyond. We will spend much of the rest of the decade grappling with the implications.
#3 What speaker or event are you most looking forward to at SMW NYC?
I'm looking forward to seeing the startups present at So You Think You Can Start Up? , and I'll be really interested in seeing the reactions from the excellent panel of judges from Mashable, Donna Karan, and ELLE.com.
#4 What prompted you to join Social Media Week's Advisory Board? What do you think is SMW's greatest value add to the tech/media space?
Social Media Week is one of my favorite weeks of the year. The content has always been strong and keeps getting better, and it brings together a lot of the best people not just thinking about social media but tackling its challenges from a range of perspectives. From early on, my agency and I have supported it and brought a lot of our clients to the events as well.
#5 What is the most creative way you've seen social media used?
I loved what Coca-Cola did in Israel at its annual event for teens. By partnering with Face.com, which has since been acquired by Facebook, Coca-Cola allowed teens to check into venues at their event by scanning people's faces and then tagging them and their friends in Facebook posts. It's one of those things that is so groundbreaking today and will probably be commonplace soon enough.
David Berkowitz is Vice President of Emerging Media with digital marketing agency 360i, where he develops social media and mobile marketing programs for Fortune 500 businesses and leading brands such as Kraft, Mattel, and Bravo. He has written more than 400 columns for MediaPost, and contributes to 360i's Digital Connections, Ad Age's Digital Next Blog, and his own MarketersStudio.com. He has spoken at more than 200 events including SXSW, Web 2.0 Expo, iMedia, and ThinkMobile, with guest lectures at Yale, MIT, Google, and Coca-Cola. You can also find him mentioned regularly in the press, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and USA Today.

The inaugural Winning the Race conference focuses on the DSU family and offers a wide selection of topics ranging from music and media to Civil Rights and religion.
The three major focuses for the conference are engage, promote and rekindle in regards to greater equality and forward and open thinking.
The opening session began on Tuesday night with Dittmer, an award-winning author, professor emeritus of history at DePauw University and a national recognized authority on the Civil Rights movement.
Upon taking the stage Dittmer said, "It is an honor to share the stage with the best governor the state of Mississippi has ever had."
Dittmer set the scene of Mississippi during the 1950s and led listeners through the horrors of the Civil Rights Movement and segregation.
Dittmer explained the Council of Federated Organizations brought college students to the south to train teachers as well as to help register black individuals to vote.
These students brought attention to the area and many of them attended Ivy League schools.
While paranoia flew throughout the south about what the newcomers meant and the terror that the African-American race had, the volunteers continued their work, facing ridicule and even death to fight for equality.
Dittmer said after the movement "a degree of civility had come to the Magnolia State," and there was substantial reduction in the use of terror to control segregation.
Through his speech, LaForge explained Dittmer had set a historical foundation for the conference and had taken listeners on a trip through Mississippi history.
Following a performance by Tricia Walker, director of the Delta Music Institute, who presented three songs about the history of the civil rights movement and her southern heritage, Winter took the stage.
Winter served Mississippi in numerous political capacities, including governor from 1980-1984.
According to a press release by DSU, "his dedication to racial equality and the establishment of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi has brought him international renown."
In June 1997 Winter was appointed by President Bill Clinton as a member of the National Advisory Board on Race Relations and Winter said by being on this board and visiting 26 different states he learned certain things everyone agreed on no matter where he went. Those things were the desire for the best education, a fair shot at a decent job, a decent house, decent healthcare, and to be treated with dignity and respect.
"We need to concern ourselves with what we can do to make a better quality of life for others. It's not just about race anymore, it's about the greatest discriminatory factor of all in our society and that is discrimination that comes from people having, on one hand a good education and on the other hand a not so good education. That is the line now that we have to eliminate," said Winter.
"In my lifetime, which now stands over nine decades, I find myself reflecting on how fortunate I have been to have lived through the most exciting, challenging, and possibly the most dangerous period in recorded history. After thousands of years of living in relative isolation we are now living in a world where we can be in instantaneous contact with our fellow human beings in the remotest part of the earth; there is no place to hide even if we wanted to, from the realities of our existence on this planet," said Winter.
"Having seen over those years the incredible changes in race relations that have taken place in my native state of Mississippi, it is not totally idealist or unrealistic to believe we can achieve some of the progress in challenging the other elements that diminish our ability to live together.
"This is not suggest that any of us must relinquish our laws, cultural, spiritual, or political beliefs, but it must involved a willingness to accord respect to those who hold different ideas or who come from different backgrounds and experiences. In other words, we must strive to achieve a society where all can feel they are valued and included," he said.
"A society or a community built of different and diverse individuals can actually be so more valuable by combining and harmonizing its different elements. The acceleration and perfecting of that advancement must now be the task for all of us," he added.
"The time has come, here on the campus of Delta State University, today, and tomorrow for us to join together and embrace the full measure of our coming existence and the recognition and appreciation of our common humanity."
The conference ended with the panel members, which included Georgene Clark and Paulette Meikle who are both chairs on the planning committee for the conference, answering questions from the audience.
One of the questions asked of Winter was whether or not he was worried about Mississippi's image.
Winter said that the image many have of Mississippi is unfair because of how far we have come and he added, "We must continue to be ambassadors for the state. We are doing better (than other states) because we live close together and know each other."
Another questions asked was what can the Delta State students do immediately to better race relations on campus.
Dittmer replied, "Get out of your comfort zone."
Clark said, "Get involved and speak up."
Meikle said, "Have respect for yourself and others."
Winter said, "Don't hesitate to speak frankly to each other. Don't be afraid of each other and talk to one another more."
The conference started continued today with Congressman Bennie Thompson featured during a plenary session at 8:30 a.m.
The public is invited to variety of sessions today at Delta State and a lineup may be found at www.deltastate.edu.

For a second straight week the Cal Poly football team fell into a deep first half hole against an FBS opponent and lost despite an inspired second half performance.
The 14th ranked Mustangs gave up 353 yards and 27 points in the first half at Colorado State. The Rams were ahead 27-10 at the break. Cal Poly pulled to within 27-17 in the third quarter but lost the momentum early in the fourth quarter when Bobby Zalud's 32 yard field goal was blocked by Shaquil Barrett. Barrett also blocked a Zalud attempt from 47 yards in the second quarter. Colorado State was able to put the game away with a touchdown following the second blocked field goal. The Rams and Mustangs are both 1-2 on the season.
Last week Cal Poly played another Mountain West Conference team and fought back from a 41-3 deficit to lose 41-25 at Fresno State.
Sophomore quarterback Chris Brown made his first start for the Mustangs after coming on in relief of Vince Moraga last week. In just over a quarter of action last week, Brown threw for 184 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 39 yards and two scores after Moraga went down with a torn ACL in his knee.
Against Colorado State, Brown was less spectacular but solid for the Mustangs. The 6'2", 198-pounder completed 11-20 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown to Willie Tucker. Brown had 14 carries for 61 yards.
Tucker, the junior wide receiver led the Mustangs in receiving yards for a three straight game, he had three catches for 69 yards. Chris Nichols and Kristaan Ivory had three receptions as well.
Akaninyene Umoh scored the Mustangs other touchdown, a 34 yard run to pull the Mustangs to within 13-10 in the second quarter.
Defensively, junior linebacker Nick Dzubnar led Cal Poly with 14 tackles while senior linebacker Johnny Millard had 13.
Colorado State gained 533 totals yards compared to 367 for Cal Poly. the Mustangs only managed 203 yards rushing. The Rams had 297 yards passing and 236 yards rushing. Neither team threw an interception or lost a fumble.
Cal Poly has a bye next weekend before returning to the field on Thursday, September 26 for its Big Sky opener at Portland State (2-1). The Mustangs return home on the following Saturday for a game against Yale.

9700 Visual processing unit
The foundation of the ATi 9700 Pro is the visual processing unit, also known as the VPU. According to ATi, the features of this newly designed VPU are: fully floating point pipeline, floating point precision needed to run equations of physics in the VPU, and raw performance to allow real-time effects. Before there were separate parts to ATi's cards that would process each section (graphics, video and image processing). The new VPU integrates all three into one VPU.
The Radeon 9700 Pro is one of the first cards to support AGP 8X. Using the AGP 8X bus, this allows a large volume of texture and vertex data to be transferred faster from the system memory to the chip. For those of you who don't know what an AGP bus does, let me sum it up for you. It basically carries a bunch of data between the video card and the computer. For example things like 3d models, textures, shaders etc. Below you will find the bandwidth differences of every AGP bus since 1x.
As you can see above, AGP 8X is around double AGP 4x, which you find on the last batch of video cards. Will we see a performance difference? That is a question that needs to be answered with an AGP 8X motherboard.
Memory interface
According to ATi, the new Radeon 9700 Pro video card has a new 256-bit DDR memory interface that supports up to 20 GB of bandwidth per second. It also includes four independent 64-bit memory channels which can all together write data to the memory or read data back to the main graphics processor (VPU).
Doesn't Hyper Z sound familiar? Ever since the Radeon series, this technology has been incorporated over three generations. Exclusive to ATi, this bandwidth saving technology is the main role that allows the 9700 Pro to reach high levels of rendering performance. In short terms, the goal of Hyper Z technology is to reduce the memory bandwidth consumed by the Z-Buffer, thereby increasing performance.
Vertex processing engine
In general, a 3D scene is composed of interlocking groups of triangles that make up all visible surfaces. The vertex processing engine can place, orient, animate, color, and light every object and surface that needs to be drawn. According to ATi, the Radeon 9700 Pro features the most powerful vertex processing engine ever designed, incorporating four parallel vertex shader pipelines. It also seems that the 9700 Pro is the first chip capable of processing one vertex and one triangle per clock cycle.
Truform 2.0
Truform 2.0 is another exclusive technology to ATi. It is designed to smooth out the curved surfaces of 3D characters, objects and terrain by increasing the polygon count through a process ATi calls "tessellation". With the 9700 Pro, it is possible to have more natural looking 3D scenes without having to change any existing artwork.
3D Rendering Engine
The Radeon 9700 Pro just keeps becoming the first for everything! Once again, the 9700 Pro is the first graphics card to be able to render up to eight pixels simultaneously. According to ATi, this is accomplished by eight parallel 128-bit rendering pipelines, each with its own independent texture unit and pixel shader engine. Basically, at the present time, the Radeon 9700 Pro is thus fully prepared for any game/application 3D environments you throw at it.

Ford of Europe says it sold the second most cars in Europe behind Volkswagen in 2008. Ford of Europe has taken the number two spot even with falling sales.
Ingvar Sviggum, Ford of Europe's head of marketing, sales, and service, gives a nod to the new (and much anticipated) Ford Fiesta for helping overtake Opel in sales volume. With the increasing sales volume, Ford of Europe has increased its European market share by 0.1 percent to 8.6 percent. Ironically, the battle for the second biggest seller in Europe has turned into a fight between American owned companies.
Sviggum says that Ford's market share increase "is clear recognition of our strong product portfolio which puts us in a better position than many." Sviggum was elated that the Fiesta launch was so successful and that it had become the best selling car in the United Kingdom. The Fiesta is now Ford of Europe's second best selling car behind the [European] Focus.
This news only makes us anticipate the U.S. launch of the Fiesta even more and hope that more of Ford's and GM's European products find their way Stateside.

I am David Djordjevic, a 30 year old from Des Moines, IA. I attended both Iowa State University and Drake University. During my free time I enjoy video games, working out, and doing anything competitive.
I completed my first triathlon in 2001 but did not complete another until 2011. This will be my 2nd Hy-Vee Triathlon. Originally I had just graduated high school and wanted to say that I had done a triathlon. In 2011, when I started back up, I started to use the sport as tool to get in better shape and to share more activities with my wife.
My best event is the running portion. My most memorable finish was in the St. Louis Marathon, finishing my goal that my wife and I set out to achieve and it felt amazing. The ideal time to train for me is in the spring and fall seasons. At last year's Hy-Vee Triathlon I enjoyed how big the event was, the organization, and the gear were quality for races in the area. I'm hoping to go out to this year's Hy-Vee Tri and have a great race while enjoying competing against some of the best athletes.

Chandler is a personal information manager (PIM) suite, designed, according to the OSAF, to cater to "info-centric" users. OSAF's plan is to sidestep all of the entrenched thinking about PIM applications that derive from the dominance of Microsoft Outlook and come up with new ways to work with PIM data.
That's a wide target, to be sure, but even at this stage Chandler is incorporating unconventional ideas. For instance, every item Chandler manages can be viewed as an email message, a to-do task, a calendar event, or as any combination of the three. The rationale is that most tasks pass through multiple phases over the course of time, so strictly separating them -- though common in PIM interfaces -- is unnecessary and impedes usability. The Chandler team has other esoteric concepts on tap for the future (e.g. a "partially read" state for email messages -- why limit us to "read" and "unread"?); the Chandler 1.0 vision document makes for interesting reading.
For the time being we must settle for a limited feature set. Chandler 0.6 is the first release to support usable calendaring -- a feature implemented before fully-usable email. This decision may strike some as odd, but it makes sense given the wide selection of robust and mature email clients available today. Good calendaring software (particularly on Linux) is not nearly so common.
Could I be any more organized?
You can download an 0.6 Chandler build for your platform from the project's home page. It is written in Python and uses the wxWindows toolkit, both of which are standard on most modern Linux distributions. The download links on the OSAF site link directly to an RPM; for non-RPM systems you should read the installation instructions on the OSAF wiki.

Looking beyond the technical details, several nice features separate Chandler from the rest of the calendar pack. You can define events more flexibly than you can in most applications. Events can have unknown or no durations, and can be moved between different calendars.
Chandler's user interface is slick. Small details like the terminology in the menus and event creation dialogs are user-friendly, avoiding "programmer words" like classification and recurrence and adopting familiar, natural language.
The layout is intuitive, which cannot be said for Evolution (beginning with the Mail/Calendar/Tasks major mode selector). Chandler's on-screen elements are simple, which reduces visual clutter. You switch between month-, week-, and day-views by clicking on elements in the calendar pane itself; in Evolution there are nine buttons taking up space in the top tool bar for the same functions.
Manipulating calendar events in Chandler is exceptionally fluid. Events are represented as colored blocks that can be stretched, compressed, or dragged and dropped with the mouse, each change automatically updating the start and end times. You interact with calendar events as if they were tangible objects, which is a tremendous boon. This is the first calendar application to implement this behavior usably in Linux (Evolution allows you to stretch or compress items, but not move them around).
Chandler also sports a flexible time zone system. Users can schedule static events (like meetings) and have them appear in their calendar auto-adjusted to whatever time zone is appropriate, or they can specify floating events (such as morning jogs) that shift with the time zone. OSAF has a sample video demonstrating this feature. Look at it and the accompanying event manipulation video to get a feel for it -- a static screenshot would not do it justice.
The simple art of calendar
There is a scene toward the end of the documentary film Hearts of Darkness where Francis Ford Coppola is struggling to piece together an ending for Apocalypse Now. He sits in his hotel room, shuffling and rearranging dozens of index cards on the wall, the bed, and the desk, each one labeled with a scene from the unfinished film. He can't figure out how to get the order right without seeing all the pieces in front of him and physically moving them.
For me this sticks out because it is exactly how I work: I need calendar appointments to be visual objects I can rearrange as necessary. I have a friend who could not be more different; for him, everything in his life can be boiled down into a single to-do list, each item scratched off as it is completed.
Calendaring is tricky in part because so many people plan and work in such different ways. Good calendar software allows users to tackle their schedules in different ways. For some, the conventional approach of Outlook or as copied by Evolution is adequate to the task. But so far, the work OSAF has put into Chandler shows that there is a lot more potential in calendaring software than is being exploited by the old approach.
I am looking forward to seeing what surprises the Chandler team has for us in its email client as it gets closer to version 1.0.
Note: Comments are owned by the poster. We are not responsible for their content.
I gave it a spin for about an hour or so porting my stuff from Evolution. While it does offer a good bit of eye-candy to stuff, it is still very lacking. For example, most tasks come with deadlines, and Chandler has nothing for that. Also, I'd like my formatting tools in email.
The concept is great, but this still has a long way to go.

Alien symbiote grants:
Eddie Brock is a fictional character created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane. Originally a comic book supervillain, Brock's earliest appearance is a cameo in Web of Spider-Man #18 (September 1986)[2] before making his first full appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #299 (April 1988) as Venom. The character has since appeared in many Marvel Comics publications including his own series Venom. Introduced as the first incarnation of the Spider-Man villain Venom, the character becomes an anti-hero, working with and against superheroes.
In the original version of the story, Brock is a journalist who exposes the identity of a serial killer only for the real killer to be caught by Spider-Man, Brock having accused the wrong man. Disgraced and suicidal, Brock comes into contact with an alien Symbiote, rejected by Peter Parker. The Symbiote bonds with Brock becoming Venom and together they seek out revenge against their mutual enemy. Though Brock repeatedly comes into conflict with Spider-Man, he also attempts to operate as a hero, albeit a violent one, seeking to save those he deems "innocent". In 2008, after being separated from the Venom Symbiote, Brock gains a new Symbiote and becomes the anti-hero Anti-Venom. However, that symbiote is sacrificed to help cure the "Spider-Island" epidemic during the 2011 storyline. In 2012 he is bonded to the Toxin symbiote. Though Brock is a human with no powers, the Symbiote suit bestows upon him a range of abilities including many of the powers belonging to Spider-Man, the Symbiote's original host.
Debuting in the Modern Age of Comic Books, the character of Eddie Brock has featured in other Marvel-endorsed products such as animated television series; video games; merchandise such as action figures, and trading cards; and the Spider-Man 3 feature film in which he was played by actor Topher Grace. Eddie Brock's incarnation of Venom was rated 33rd on Empire's 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters,[3] and was the 22nd greatest villain on IGN's 100 Greatest Comic Villains of all time.[4] Comics journalist and historian Mike Conroy writes of the character: "What started out as a replacement costume for Spider-Man turned into one of the Marvel web-slinger's greatest nightmares."[5]
Publication history[edit]
Creation and conception[edit]
Writer David Michelinie and artist Todd McFarlane are generally credited with the character's creation, based on a number of plot ideas and concepts from various other creators. The question of who created the character of Venom became an issue of contention in 1993 when Michelinie wrote to the comic book industry magazine Wizard, which had referred to Michelinie in issue #17 as "co-creator" of Venom. In his letter, printed in issue #21 (May 1993), Michelinie wrote that he was the character's sole creator, while saying also he believed that without McFarlane the character would not have attained the popularity it did.[6]
Writer Peter David corroborated Michelinie's view in his "But I Digress" column in the June 4, 1993 Comics Buyer's Guide, in which he stated that Michelinie discussed the ideas behind the character with him at the time of its creation. At that time, David was the writer on The Spectacular Spider-Man and wrote the "Sin Eater" storyline from which Eddie Brock's backstory would be derived, well before McFarlane was assigned to the art duties on Amazing. Because artists who design the costumes or appearances of major characters and/or illustrate their first appearances are generally credited as co-creators, Venom represents a complex situation, because the costume from which Venom's appearance is derived was not designed by McFarlane.[7]
Erik Larsen responded to Michelinie's letter with one of his own that was printed in Wizard #23 (July 1993), in which he dismissed Michelinie's contributions to the character, arguing that Michelinie merely "swiped" the preexisting symbiote and its powers to place it on a character whose motivations were poorly conceived, one-dimensional, unbelievable, and clichéd. Larsen also argued that it was McFarlane's rendition of the character that made it commercial.[8]
The preexisting elements that dealt with the symbiote costume itself - to which Michelinie did not contribute - have also been noted. The original idea of a new costume for Spider-Man that would later become the character Venom was conceived of by a Marvel Comics reader from Norridge, Illinois named Randy Schueller.[9] Marvel purchased the idea for $220.00 after the editor-in-chief at the time, Jim Shooter, sent Schueller a letter acknowledging Marvel's desire to acquire the idea from him, in 1982. Schueller's design was then modified by Mike Zeck, becoming the Symbiote costume.[10] For example, Shooter came up with the idea of switching Spider-Man to a black-and-white costume, possibly influenced by the intended costume design for the new Spider-Woman, with artists Mike Zeck and Rick Leonardi, as well as others, designing the black-and-white costume[7] Writer/artist John Byrne asserts on his website that the idea for a costume made of self-healing biological material was one he originated when he was the artist on Iron Fist to explain how that character's costume was constantly being torn and then apparently repaired by the next issue, explaining that he ended up not using the idea on that title, but that Roger Stern later asked him if he could use the idea for Spider-Man's alien costume. Stern in turn plotted the issue in which the costume first appeared but then left the title. It was writer Tom DeFalco and artist Ron Frenz who had established that the costume was a sentient alien being and also that it was vulnerable to high sonic energy during their run on The Amazing Spider-Man that preceded Michelinie's.[11] Regardless, Peter David's position is that Michelinie is the sole creator, since the idea of creating a separate character using the alien symbiote was Michelinie's, as was Eddie Brock's backstory, and that without the idea to create such a character, the character would not have existed.[7]
In an interview with Tom DeFalco, McFarlane states that Michelinie did indeed come up with the idea of Venom and the character's basic design ("a big guy in the black costume"). However, he contends that it was he (McFarlane) who gave Venom his monster-like features. He claims; "I just wanted to make him kooky and creepy, and not just some guy in a black suit."[12]
This dispute arose at a time when the merits of artists as collaborators and writers were being debated in the industry, a discussion prompted by the popularity of artists such as McFarlane, Larsen, and other founders of Image Comics.[13][14]
Venom's existence was first indicated in Web of Spider-Man #18 (Sept. 1986), when he shoves Peter Parker in front of a subway train without Parker's spider-sense warning him, though only Brock's hand is seen on-panel. The next indication of Venom's existence was in Web of Spider-Man #24 (March 1987), when Parker has climbed out of a high story window to change into Spider-Man, but finds a black arm coming through the window and grabbing him, again without being warned by his spider-sense.
The character would remain unseen and inactive until Amazing Spider-Man editor Jim Salicrup required a villain for that book's 300th issue, and Michelinie suggested a villain consisting of the alien symbiote grafted onto the body of a human female. Salicrup accepted the suggestion, but changed the character to a male. Michelinie then devised the Eddie Brock identity. Michelinie contends that the plots for issues #298-299, as well as the visual descriptions of the character, were written and bought by Salicrup before McFarlane was ever assigned to the book.
Fictional character biography[edit]
The 1993 limited series Venom: Lethal Protector describes Brock's history before bonding with the symbiote. As a child, Edward Allan "Eddie" Brock[15] is raised in a Roman Catholic household in San Francisco. Eddie's mother dies from complications during his birth and as a result his father is cold and unaffectionate towards him. Eddie excels in academics and sports to earn his approval but does not succeed. In college, Brock switches his major to journalism after reading an article on the Watergate scandal. After graduating he moves to New York City and obtains a job as a journalist for the Daily Globe. Though he proves himself to be a highly talented journalist, his father still only treats him with indifference.[16]
As a reporter, Brock investigates the serial killer Sin-Eater and is contacted by Emil Gregg, who claims to be the killer.[17] Pressured by the authorities to reveal the killer's identity, Brock writes an exposé announcing Gregg as the Sin-Eater. However, the real Sin-Eater is caught by Spider-Man and Brock is revealed to have been interviewing a compulsive confessor. Brock is fired from his job in disgrace and divorced from his wife. Unable to find reputable work, he is forced to work for tabloid magazines[17] and his father ceases communication with him entirely.[16] Brock becomes obsessed with gaining revenge against Spider-Man, blaming him for catching the real Sin-Eater. Brock takes up bodybuilding to reduce stress but his anger and depression remain.[17] Meanwhile, Spider-Man uses the sound of bells at a church to remove his symbiote costume after realizing it is attempting to permanently bond with him.[18] His professional and personal life shattered, Brock contemplates suicide and goes to the same church, where he prays to God for forgiveness.[17] The Symbiote, having waited in the rafters of the church since leaving Spider-Man, senses Brock[19] and bonds with him, granting him powers equal and greater to those of Spider-Man, and imparting knowledge of Spider-Man's secret identity.[17]
Venom begins a campaign of torment against Peter, who is still unaware of his existence. He first pushes Peter in front of a moving subway without activating his spider-sense,[20] and later terrorizes Spider-Man's wife Mary Jane.[21] Venom baits Spider-Man to his apartment for their first confrontation, where Venom reveals his true identity to Spider-Man, claiming "You may call me Venom, for that's what I'm paid to spew out these days!" Spider-Man discovers that the Symbiote has completely bonded with Brock and cannot be killed without also killing Brock. Eventually Venom is tricked into weakening himself by expending too much webbing until the suit lacks enough material to produce more.[17] Venom is incarcerated in the Vault, from which he makes repeated escapes and escape attempts, only to suffer defeats and returns to the Vault.[22][23][24]
Brock eventually fakes suicide and escapes after being taken to the morgue.[25] During a battle with Spider-Man, the Symbiote is seemingly killed by the plague-inducing villain Styx, giving its life to protect Brock. Brock is incarcerated and Spider-Man disposes of the Symbiote's remains.[26] The Symbiote survives by entering a comatose state to fight off the illness[27] and it returns to Brock, enabling him to again escape from jail. During the escape, the symbiote asexually reproduces and leaves behind its spawn.[28] The offspring quickly bonds to Brock's cell mate, Cletus Kasady, creating Carnage.[28][29] Venom abducts Spider-Man and transports him to a remote island to do battle. Spider-Man fakes his own death to convince Venom that his vendetta is over. Venom, content with the outcome, resigns himself to life on the island.[30] Spider-Man eventually faces Carnage but is unable to defeat him. Spider-Man is forced to ask Venom for help, promising him freedom in exchange.[31] However, after they defeat Carnage Spider-Man betrays Venom (who had also resumed his plan of revenge and tried to throttle the arachnoid hero to death) by summoning the Fantastic Four and sending him back to prison.[32]
After seeing a photo of Spider-Man's recently returned parents, Brock escapes from prison,[33] and kidnaps them.[34] During the resulting fight, Brock's ex-wife Ann Weying is nearly crushed under a falling ferris wheel, but Spider-Man saves her. Seeing this act, Venom makes peace with Spider-Man.[35] In Venom: Lethal Protector (1993), Venom moves to San Francisco and acts as the protector of an underground society of homeless people.[19] He is later taken prisoner by the Life Foundation who harvest the last five spawn within the symbiote to create super-powered policemen and Brock is forcibly separated from the symbiote.[36] With Spider-Man's help, Brock is reunited with the symbiote and they seemingly destroy his spawn, Phage, Lasher, Riot, Scream and Agony, before escaping.[37] After saving the homeless people, Venom is accepted into their society and remains their protector.[38]
In the 1993 crossover "Maximum Carnage", Carnage reemerges and begins a massacre in New York City, and Brock returns to help, feeling responsible. Venom finds he is no match for Carnage, and seeks help from Spider-Man, but Spider-Man refuses to work with Venom's violent methods.[39] Venom, accompanied by Black Cat, Cloak, Morbius and eventually a desperate Spider-Man,[40] repeatedly confront Carnage and his allies.[41][42][42][43][44] Venom ultimately tackles Carnage into high-voltage generators, rendering Carnage unconscious and allowing his capture by the Avengers. Brock goes into hiding.[45]
Brock returns in the 1994 limited series Separation Anxiety, in which he is captured and separated from the symbiote for a government research project. Venom's spawn: Phage, Lasher, Scream, Riot, and Agony are revealed to still be alive and arrive to free Brock,[46] seeking his help to gain control over their symbiotes.[47][48] Brock is ultimately reunited with the symbiote, but the experience forces him to evaluate his relationship with the costume.[49] The 1995 "Planet of the Symbiotes" event continued the narrative from Separation Anxiety, with Brock forcing the symbiote to leave him, concerned about how much influence it may be having on him.[15] The symbiote unleashes a telepathic scream of sorrow and pain that attracts the other members of its species to Earth.[15] The story follows the efforts of Brock, Spider-Man, and Scarlet Spider to stop the invasion and defeat an escaped and empowered Carnage.[50][51][52] Brock is forced to bond completely and irrevocably with the symbiote in order to inflict psychic trauma on the symbiotes, causing them to commit suicide.[53]
Return to villainy[edit]
When Ann is shot by a new Sin-Eater, Brock forces the Symbiote to bond with her to heal her injuries.[54] In the process she temporarily becomes She-Venom but Brock demands the Symbiote return after Ann loses control and kills a pair of muggers, leaving Ann traumatized.[55] Brock helps kill the new Sin-Eater.[56] Ann is taken into custody by the police as they try to hunt Venom and Brock sends her his Symbiote so she can escape.[57][58] As She-Venom she again struggles to control herself.[59] When Brock takes back the Symbiote, she tells him to keep himself and the Symbiote away from her.[60]
Brock is captured in his sewer hideout and put on trial, with Matt Murdock acting in his defense, his symbiote held in check by a chemical inhibitor.[61] Cletus Kassady is called as a witness, but when the case becomes heated both Kassady and Brock overcome their inhibitors.[62] Venom, Spider-Man, and Daredevil team up and subdue Carnage. However, before the trial can continue Venom is unexpectedly taken into custody by a secret government organization offering him amnesty in exchange for him becoming their agent.[63] Though Venom at first enjoyed his newfound immunities, he left after being abandoned during a dangerous mission.[64] After receiving a head wound, Eddie suffers amnesia. He is later separated from the symbiote, which is presumed killed by the government Overreach Committee.[65]
The symbiote survives and tracks down the amnesiac Brock, turning him into Venom again. Venom infiltrates Ravencroft prison seeking Carnage and permanently absorbs the Carnage Symbiote.[66] Brock temporarily joins the Sinister Six to get Spider-Man but after being betrayed by them,[67] he begins hunting down the members for revenge. He ultimately cripples Sandman by biting him, leading to Sandman's apparent death.[68]
Venom's rivalry with Spider-Man is renewed when Ann, who lives in fear since bonding with the Symbiote, commits suicide after seeing Brock become Venom. Venom however, believes Spider-Man swinging by Ann's window in his black costume to be the cause.[69] Before he can take revenge however, the Symbiote is forcefully removed from him by the human/alien hybrid Senator Ward in order to learn more about symbiosis.[70] An alien race, secretly operating within the United States government, clones the Venom symbiote. Venom absorbs the clone, gains its knowledge, and decides to carry out the aliens' orders.[71]
Cancer and post-Venom[edit]
The 2003 story "The Hunger" introduced new elements to Brock's origin, revealing that Brock had cancer before joining with the symbiote, and that it chose to bond with Brock not only for his hatred towards Spider-Man, but also because the cancer causes the release of adrenaline, which sustains the symbiote. Brock is left reliant on the suit to live, and pursues Spider-Man out of fear that he will take the symbiote back, rather than for revenge over his lost career.[72] Brock dies after the symbiote leaves him for Spider-Man, not wanting a diseased host. Spider-Man tricks the symbiote into again bonding with Brock, reviving him.[72]
After Carnage gives birth to a new symbiote. Carnage attempts to kill the newborn while Venom attempts to save it,[73] hoping to turn it into an ally.[74] Venom names the spawn Toxin.[74] However, after Venom witnesses Toxin nearly kill Carnage but show compassion, he worries that he may be like Spider-Man and joins forces with Carnage to kill him.[75] Carnage and Venom attack Toxin but are driven away by Spider-Man, Toxin and Black Cat.[76]
In the 2004 story "Venomous", Brock experiences a crisis of faith and decides to sell the symbiote, knowing he will rapidly die from his cancer without it, intending to donate the $100 million received from the sale to charity on the grounds that the symbiote would find another host once he dies anyway.[77] The symbiote is purchased by crime boss Don Fortunato for his son Angelo Fortunato.[78] Angelo briefly becomes the second Venom but proves an unworthy host, and the symbiote abandons him mid-jump allowing him to fall to his death. Upon learning of Angelo's death, Brock feels responsible and attempts suicide by slitting his wrists.[79] Brock next appeared in the 2007 story "The Last Temptation of Eddie Brock", where he is rapidly succumbing to cancer, and experiencing hallucinations of "Venom". Finding a comatose Aunt May in the same hospital, dying from a gunshot, the Venom hallucination persuades him to kill her. Brock, dressed in a novelty replica of Spider-Man's black costume at the demand of "Venom",[80] murders a nurse to test if he can still kill, but ultimately refuses to kill May because she is innocent. When Peter visits May, he finds Eddie, who has repeatedly cut his own wrists to get rid of "Venom". Eddie asks for Peter's forgiveness before jumping out of a window, but Peter manages to catch him. Awakening chained to his bed, Brock finds he can still see "Venom" but tells him that he accepts its presence as long as it knows that Brock is in control.[81]
The 2008 story "New Ways to Die" features the return of Brock. Matt Murdock convinces a court of law that Brock is not responsible for his actions while bonded to the symbiote and has criminal charges against him dropped.[82] Brock gets a job at a soup kitchen under Martin Li. Brock is unknowningly cured of his cancer by Li, who possesses special abilities, and Brock believes it to be a miracle.[82] After Brock is attacked by the new Venom, Mac Gargan, the symbiote attempts to reunite with Brock. Brock's skin becomes caustic to the symbiote, and he is enveloped in a new white symbiote forged from the remnants of the Venom symbiote in his body bonding with his white blood cells charged with Li's healing energy,[82] becoming Anti-Venom. Brock defeats Gargan and nearly kills the Venom symbiote. When Brock detects remnants of the symbiote inside Spider-Man, he attempts to "cure" him, draining radiation from his body and nearly de-powering him.[83] While later saving Spider-Man from Norman Osborn, Brock again fights a battle-suit enhanced Gargan and the recovering symbiote.[84][85] Gargan hits Anti-Venom with his stinger, injecting a poisonous formula that seemingly destroys Brock's suit. When Gargan attempts to kill Brock, the Venom symbiote stops him. Brock's Anti-Venom suit later reforms.[85]
Brock later faces the villain Mister Negative and discovers that he and Li are the same person. Learning that the man he idolized is a supervillain causes a breakdown for Brock, making him question his faith, referring to himself as a monster.[86] After this revelation he becomes increasingly unstable mentally, murdering small-time criminals as he did during his "lethal protector" days. He briefly and reluctantly teams up with the Punisher to stop a drug cartel that kidnapped a friend of Brock's.[87] In "The Return of Anti-Venom" (2011), Brock is unable to expose Negative's true identity, believing no one will trust him. Anti-Venom starts a crusade against Negative, attacking his criminal operations.[88] When Anti-Venom realizes that May Parker also knows Negative's identity, he decides to attack Negative directly before Negative can silence her.[88] Brock teams up with Spider-Man and the new Wraith to fight Negative. Wraith uses her technology to publicly reveal Mister Negative is Martin Li, sending him into hiding. Spider-Man and Anti-Venom call a truce to their rivalry.[89]
In a 2011 New Avengers storyline, Brock joins Wonder Man's Revengers to destroy the New Avengers.[90] During the 2011 "Spider-Island" storyline in which 99% of New York City's population are transformed into mind-controlled spiders, Brock is forced to sacrifice the symbiote—and being Anti-Venom—so that it can be converted into a powerful curative capable of healing the infected millions.[91][92][93]
Later, in AXIS Hobgoblin issue one, a new Anti-Venom is seen in the crowd of new heroes attending a "self help" style seminar being held by Roderick Kingsley (the first Hobgoblin). All the new heroes have been given heroic personas by Kingsley that already exist but are no longer used. It is not shown whether the new Anti-Venom is indeed a symbiote or just a man in a suit designed to look like the original symbiote, however the speech bubble used for the character is stylised in a way to suggest a distortion of the characters voice similar to way Eddie Brock spoke when he had the Anti-Venom symbiote.[volume & issue needed]
Hunting symbiotes[edit]
A powerless Brock returns in Venom vol. 2 #15 (2012), where he kills the symbiotes Hybrid and Scream as part of a crusade to destroy the aliens entirely, believing them to be evil.[94] After failing to kill the newest Venom, Brock is captured by the villain Crime Master and forcibly bonded with the Toxin symbiote.[95] Brock (who is being controlled by the Toxin symbiote) then tracks down Venom and attempts to kill him, but is defeated.[96] Eddie and Agent Venom face off once more at Crime Master's HQ, and Flash is able to subdue Toxin and separate Eddie from the symbiote using a flamethrower. Just before Flash can get Eddie out, the Toxin symbiote grabs hold of him and drags him into the flames.[97] Eddie and the Toxin symbiote both survive the flames and track Flash to Philadelphia.[98] Now in control of the Toxin symbiote, he confronts Flash in the high school where he works as a gym teacher.[volume & issue needed] After helping Flash defend the students from a group of cybernetic parasites, Eddie forms a truce with him, promising to leave Flash alone as long as he has the Venom symbiote under control (similar to the truce he had with Spider-Man).[volume & issue needed] Eddie subsequently leaves Philadelphia to resume his vigilante activities.[volume & issue needed]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Brock is a human and has no superhuman powers without the Symbiote. Prior to joining with the Symbiote, he possesses olympic-level strength from engaging in repeated, significant weight-training exercise.[17][36] After separating from the Symbiote and suffering from cancer, Brock loses much of his physical muscle and possesses the strength of an average human.[1][80] Brock's cancer is cured in the 2008 story New Ways to Die, and he is later shown with a restored large physique.[99] He is also shown to be proficient in combat and capable of using specialized weaponry to defeat symbiote-empowered enemies.[100]
As Venom[edit]
As Venom, Brock gains several abilities similar to those of Spider-Man, the Symbiote's former host, including superhuman strength, speed, agility and reflexes as well as the ability to adhere to most surfaces with his hands and feet. The Symbiote is also able to project a web-like substance from its body, similar to Spider-Man's. However, this webbing is produced organically by the Symbiote from its own mass, which means that overuse can weaken the alien until it is able to regenerate.[17] The Symbiote can also send out tendrils which can be used to grab or manipulate items from a distance.[26] When bonded with the host, the Symbiote allows the host to bypass Spider-Man's spider-sense, preventing the hero from sensing attacks. The Symbiote is susceptible to harm from high-pitched sonic frequencies which can cause it to be severely weakened or killed. The bond between the Symbiote and Brock was strong enough that using sonics against the Symbiote could also stun and kill Brock.[17]
Venom's body is highly resistant to injury, capable of outright stopping bladed weapons,[101] bullets,[26] and it can help its host survive in hostile environments by filtering air, allowing survival underwater[30] and in toxic environments. Venom can also morph his appearance, to create disguises at will,[17][26] and camouflage itself,[16] even emulating water.[30] It is also capable of psychically detecting its offspring; however, this ability can be blocked.[31] This sense can be used by Brock even when separated from the suit, allowing him to detect and be detected by the Symbiote and its children.[47][48] The Symbiote is capable of healing injury and illness at an increased rate, allowing the host to survive otherwise mortal damage.[54] The Symbiote and host are capable of sharing knowledge, the Symbiote able to pass on information from previous hosts to future ones.[78]
As Anti-Venom[edit]
Anti-Venom is created when the healing energies of Martin Li cause Brock's white-blood cells and traces of the Venom Symbiote still within his body to combine into a new suit composed of human/alien hybrid antibodies possessing powerful restorative abilities.[82][84] Brock is capable of rapidly healing significant injury as Anti-Venom, recovering almost instantly after being shot in the head and suffering damage to his brain.[89][102] However, this healing ability can be negated by the energy of Mr. Negative, counteracting the energy of Martin Li.[89] Anti-Venom is able to detect when others are ill[99] and "cure" or "cleanse" them. He is able to cure ailments from hepatitis to removing narcotics and even radiation from a person's body.[99][103] Following a failed attempt to "cure" Spider-Man by removing the radiation in his body, Anti-Venom now automatically cancels out Spider-Man's powers whenever the two are in close proximity to one another.[88][103]
As Anti-Venom, Brock's suit is corrosive to the Venom symbiote, inflicting pain and damage on the suit to the point of causing it to dissolve.[83][104] He displays similar abilities to Venom, possessing super strength, speed,[105] negating Spider-Man's spider-sense,[104] and being able to block damage entirely from some guns and knives.[102][105] He is also capable of extending and morphing the suit to create disguises,[103] form items such as shields,[99] extend his reach,[88] attack from a distance,[105] and create tendrils.[99] Anti-Venom is also immune to the weaknesses of the Venom Symbiote, showing no damage or effect from direct blasts of fire, heat and sound.[102][103] The only shown weaknesses of the Symbiote are a highly toxic "super venom" created as a direct countermeasure using remnants of Anti-Venom's suit, and Mr. Negative's energy.[84] The "super venom" causes the suit to immediately dissolve.[85] Mr. Negative is shown capable of using his energy to weaken or nullify the healing abilities of the suit.[89]

I could send half as many messages if the recipients would do one thing: read my email before they reply.
In a dash through their inbox, people respond to what they expected my message to say instead of what I actually wrote. As a result, I have to send another message directing their attention: "As I explained in my earlier message …"
I accept responsibility for writing a clear email to begin with. Based on the responses I receive, however, the problem isn't what I write but what people don't read.
In one email to a retailer's customer service department, my subject line noted there were two issues. The service rep provided a poor answer to my question and totally ignored the second part of my email, in which I explained that the box I received also included another customer's merchandise and shipping label. Apparently paying attention is a problem throughout that company.
How do you think we could all reduce the number of emails we send and receive?
