Author Patricia Cornwell's Dr. Kay Scarpetta has had a difficult time making the transition from page to screen. But two recently hired writers may speed up the forensic pathologist's leap to the multiplex.
Emmy-winning TV writer Liz Friedman ("Orange is the New Black") has boarded the adaptation project, with superstar screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg ("Twilight") to produce. Rosenberg is the showrunner of Netflix's upcoming superheroine series "Jessica Jones," and Friedman serves as an EP on that drama.
Kay Scarpetta is the focus of 14 mystery novels and counting. She first appeared in 1990's "Postmortem."

JUDY WOODRUFF: As families and friends gather together for this Thanksgiving holiday, we are aware that this year's meal may be a more tense and awkward affair than usual because of reaction to the election.
In that spirit, we collected a number of voices, some from the "NewsHour" family, to offer suggestions about how we can talk to each other this year, with civility, sometimes with candor, sometimes with humor, and understanding too.
JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS, CEO, Define American: I'm looking forward to what I'm sure will be an uncomfortable, but celebratory Thanksgiving.
DAVID BROOKS, The New York Times: I recommend not talking about politics right away, but having several earlier rounds of conversations. So, the first subject could be things I have always resented about you.
And the next subject could be ways you have wounded me from which I will never recover. And then, by the time you get to politics, it will seem pretty good, actually.
STEVE DEACE, Conservative Radio Show Host: I think civil is not a tone. It's a temperament. If somebody says to you, hey, I think you're knuckle-dragging pond scum with a smile on their face, I don't feel better because they said it nice. I think civility is the motivation.
RUTH MARCUS, Washington Post: In the middle of a discussion, if another course is coming or another piece of pie is to be had, you might want to try that.
KALI HOLLOWAY, Senior Writer, AlterNet: This is never an easy conversation even in the best of times, right, which is why we're notoriously bad at having it.
RUTH MARCUS: There is always changing the subject. I understand a lot of people like to talk about sports.
JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS: We gamble. We play poker. It's a Filipino game called Pusoy. It's like a Filipino poker. So at least we're gambling while this is happening. So, it adds levity.
SUSAN DAVID, Author/Psychologist, Harvard Medical School: Nine times out of 10, we find ourselves saying the very thing that we promised that we wouldn't say, and then you have got a turkey explosion on your hands.
RUTH MARCUS: My solution to that is going to be, like I said, just give them pie.
JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS: I don't think we as a country know how to have conversations anymore.
JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS: I think what happens is, we all just project. And, instead of listening, like really listening, what we do is, when people talk, we already decide how we're going to counter what they're saying.
DAVID BROOKS: I have never lost a friend over politics, and I don't believe in it. Politics is something we care about, but friendship matters more. Family relationship matters a zillion times more.
KALI HOLLOWAY: These conversations have to start with the sense that you are going to moderate your own behavior, you're going to listen to what the other person is saying. Form a bond with the person that you're talking to.
JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS: Listening is a radical act. And I could not agree more. And I think, more than anything, we need to listen to each other.
KALI HOLLOWAY: When things get do heated, I think doing what you can to allow that person the space to really speak to who they are, the values that drive them, and not so they can feel demonized or that they have to be defensive.
STEVE DEACE: I can get worked up sometimes. And when I can sense that I'm about to go over the line, I will just say something really dumb or make a really trivial pop culture reference that's just beyond silly just to sort of pop the pin and let some air out of the room a little bit.
SUSAN DAVID: There's a lot of research that shows that, when we don't just say I'm angry or I'm sad, but I feel betrayed, I feel really sad, when we can get more nuanced about our emotions, we tend to do better in these interactions.
JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS: Everyone in my family, either — most of whom are either born here and are U.S. citizens or naturalized U.S. citizens. Everyone is kind of panicking and worried. Some of my family members, including my grandmother, thinks I should just go home, home being the Philippines, where I haven't been since I was 12.
Everybody is going to have something to say, because that's what family is, and just to kind of nod and smile and, you know, explain, this is my home, and no president can take that away.
KALI HOLLOWAY: I would encourage particularly white people to go home and have these difficult conversations. Don't just have them in your echo chambers or when you're around other progressive whites.
You need to take some of those important points home and point out why these issues are important to you. Maybe talk about why it's personal, talk about friendships that you have with people of color or people who are genuinely afraid and who have been affected by this.
STEVE DEACE: I don't think anybody should feel like they have some obligation to address these things at the Thanksgiving table. That's not what Thanksgiving is about. It's not about you.
It's not about — that's — I think people are confusing Thanksgiving with Festivus. All right? This is not about the airing of grievances. This is not about self-actualization or understanding of your viewpoint.
RUTH MARCUS: Whether you supported Hillary Clinton, whether you supported Donald Trump, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican — and I don't mean to sound too saccharin here, but we are all Americans. We are celebrating a national holiday that should make us all stop and be at least a little bit thankful that we live in this country.
DAVID BROOKS: I would just remember that the people who voted for Trump, if you're not a Trump voter, in my experience — I have certainly spoken to a lot of them — they were realistic about the guy, and they just wanted a change. They wanted to be heard.
They had sometimes legitimate reasons for voting for a person who I personally disagree with. But — so it's not like they were signing on for evil. They were taking the vehicle they had to change what they saw as a declining circumstance.
SUSAN DAVID: Instead of feeling that this individual is defined by one vote or one perspective, we can instead bring our values, our intention, our compassion, our love, our kindness to people who we truly value.
JUDY WOODRUFF: On our Web site, you can download our guide to civility at the holidays and use it as a place mat at the Thanksgiving table, seriously. Find it at PBS.org/NewsHour.

I would like to make a public calendar available to anyone anonymously using OWA 2007 without any logon credentials. I have an intranet site where i want to show this calendar and many of the potential viewers don't have an exchange account. I want the calendar to be read only but viewable to anyone opening the web page without having to log on. Anyone know how to do this in OWA/Exchange 2007?
2 Replies
May 18, 2009 at 7:37 UTC
RB Computer Consulting is an IT service provider.
I don't know of a way to do it in OWA/Exchange, but we use SharePoint Services that has public calendar capability that you can view in Outlook as well as on the intranet. Best of all, sharepoint services is a free download.
We use a sharepoint public calendar as our vacation calendar and it works great.
May 18, 2009 at 7:45 UTC
Yes, i have tried that. It works except you can't invite people to your appointment with the sharepoint calendar. I'm trying to use this as a resource calendar and it would work except it doesn't invite exchange users to meetings. That is why i want to use the public calendar in owa - to let anyone see what resources have been requested for the calendar item (read only). In outlook, the calendar admin would set the appointments and invite the resources needed.

1. I can run and handle stairs with competence.
2. When I go hiking with my foster family, I outlast the three-year-old Great Pyrenees.
3. I wrestle with said Great Pyrenees, who is twice my size.
4. I can navigate very well in my foster home, even without supervision.
Are you impressed? Everyone I've met is.
Unlike my failing vision, my hearing is quite sharp. I come when called and can hear people coming to the door (and will alert you).
My foster family calls me a low-maintenance dog, a happy boy, and an excellent houseguest (discounting that brisket incident, which really wasn't my fault). I'm just so pleased to have people to love me. Just bring out the brush and I'll snuggle right up.
I'd like a family of my own who will take me walking, hiking, and swimming. I could do with or without kids, another dog, cats, or a fence--I'm adaptable like that. Snuggles are a must, though, but you already knew that.
I'm being fostered in the Twin Cities metro area, and my adoption fee is $175. Rest assured that my affection is priceless. So are my snuggles. And smiles. And more snuggles.
Please see Rocky's webpage for additional updates and photos: http://ragom.org/avail.cgi/Available/dog?dog_id=6990.

Building the Tabernacle Part 1 - March 2016 Yavoh
The book of Shemot (Names), commonly called Exodus, tells the story of the Exodus of the children of Israel, skipping a few generations after the fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It focuses on the story of Moses and how he came to be called by the LORD to help deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt. Remarkable events are detailed for us, from Moses at the burning bush learning God's Name, to the ten different judgments that fell upon Pharaoh and Egypt. The Passover story is shown to us with the "cloud by day/fire by night" leading them, and the children of Israel crossing the Red Sea. Not to diminish any of the previous subjects in the least, the children of Israel find themselves at the base of Mount Sinai, and God comes down to the mountain, speaks to them, and gives Moses the Tablets and the Torah. Then the book shifts to the final topic of gathering materials and building the Tabernacle so the LORD can dwell with them in the camp.
This year, during the month of February, those who follow the annual Torah cycle found themselves immersed for several Sabbaths in the subject of the Tabernacle and its construction. Let's step back for a moment and consider why Moses gave so much of the book of Exodus to its final topic. By way of comparison, the story of Moses at the burning bush until he arrives in Egypt covers five chapters. The death of the firstborn, leaving Egypt, and crossing the Red Sea covers ten chapters. Then God gives the Ten Commandments and the Torah in nine chapters, totaling the first 24 chapters. One wouldn't think listing collected materials and detailing the furnishings and coverings for the Tabernacle would come anywhere near the importance of the redemption out of Egypt and the miraculous works that God performed there, let alone His speaking the Ten Commandments and giving the Torah. We would be mistaken, however, to diminish any part of the Tabernacle information. Moses uses the remaining 16 chapters to explain how the Tabernacle was built. Why does Moses make the Tabernacle the dominant topic in the book of Exodus?
Let's answer that question and understand why we must understand the Tabernacle—what it is made of, how it is assembled, and the various elements that constitute the sanctuary of the LORD, all the way to the garments of the High Priest. The Tabernacle is patterned after the temple of God in heaven. This same Tabernacle has been constructed in the heart of every believer of Yeshua the Messiah. The commandments of the LORD are written on the tablets of our heart. Those tablets are resting in the Ark of the Covenant with God's Mercy Seat over them. The very presence of our Messiah—the True Bread from Heaven—is at the Table of Showbread while the Holy Spirit illuminates us by the light of the Menorah. Our prayers go up before God as a sweet fragrance like the incense on the Golden Altar before the Veil. The only persons who can enter this very holy place are the presence of Almighty God (the persons of our Heavenly Father, the Messiah as our High Priest, the Spirit of the LORD) and ourselves. No one else is permitted. The Laver and the Fire Altar sitting outside the sanctuary enable us to approach God in repentance and to daily offer our gifts to God. The Altar is always lit, and the benefit of the Lamb of God sacrifice remains just as the Temple altar has the evening and morning sacrifice every day.
If we are to go forward with the Redemption that the Lamb of God has given to us, we must learn to dwell with God and walk out our salvation daily with Him. If we want to understand how God can dwell with us in our hearts, how we are to approach Him, and how to worship Him, we must understand the Tabernacle and its pattern. Failing to understand the Tabernacle and its construction limits us in approaching the Lord and maturing in the faith.
The Apostle Paul said it this way:
Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16
With that priority of understanding, let us consider the process of construction that Moses describes to us. The Tabernacle is constructed from the inside out. Normally, a structure has a foundation, then walls, and then a roof. The contents are not put in until the basic structure is in place. But this is not the case with the Tabernacle. First the materials are gathered, then the furnishings are made (the Ark, the Table, and the Menorah). What are we to understand about our faith here?
Our faith in God is built the same way. Every disciple begins with God's presence in him, then the temple of God is built around the Lord's presence in him. We literally work outward in building our spiritual life in God. The Apostle Paul referred to this directly.
So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; Philippians 2:12
The phrase "work out" is speaking of something within you that comes out of you and becomes visible. Paul gives us another expression of being built, comparing us to a plant that grows from its roots.
Therefore as you have received Messiah Yeshua the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Colossians 2:6-7
Consider this thought also: The Tabernacle does not focus on a foundation as a building that has a foundation. The Tabernacle is mobile. Its foundation is based on the Lord and His presence. The same is true of us. We have no foundation here on the earth; our foundation in the faith is built on the Rock of the presence of God.
Now let us focus on the details that Moses supplies in the book of Exodus.
The Materials of the Tabernacle
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, Tell the sons of Israel to raise a contribution for Me; from every man whose heart moves him you shall raise My contribution. This is the contribution which you are to raise from them: gold, silver and bronze, blue, purple and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, rams' skins dyed red, porpoise skins, acacia wood, oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, onyx stones and setting stones for the ephod and for the breastpiece. Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it. Exodus 25:1-9
Gold, silver, and brass are well understood. Having lived in Egypt, the children of Israel had skills in smelting metals and molding them into objects. But we should make mention of brass a little bit more. Brass is formed by combining copper and zinc. Both of these elements were in the regions where Israel traveled. The reference to blue, purple, and scarlet could have been heavy canvas-like fabrics woven from hemp or cotton dyed to those colors. Egyptian cotton is a major product of Egypt even to this day. But more than likely, the material of dyed blue, purple, and scarlet was wool yarn (the hair from their sheep). (Other Bible versions guess the word should be thread or yarn because the word is not in the original text.) Fine linen was a product of flax fibers. Flax was a plant grown extensively in Egypt; the children of Israel were very familiar with using these fibers to make fine linen. They also had goats and goat's hair was the primary material to make tents and large coverings. The wool was worked into yarn and goat hair was spun into a thread and then woven into the covering material. The skin of goats and badgers is self-explanatory with the exception of the badger or "porpoise," (depending on which version one reads) which was an "unclean" animal. Apparently, God did not have a problem with the skin of the animals being used for another purpose even if they were not clean animals for purposes of food.
Now we come to the subject of acacia wood. Although the KJV lists it as shittim wood, most biblical scholars believe this to be a variety of acacia wood. Acacia trees grow extensively in the Middle East and the wilderness areas. Acacia is also a very strong wood, but the growth of the plant does not lend itself to long or straight pieces. Making a box out of acacia would have required a mosaic of pieces formed and glued together. But it would have been virtually impossible to make the staves (the poles) used to carry the Ark and the Table. They needed to be long and narrow with the strength of a single piece of wood. Some scholars think that "shittim" wood was instead cedar. Cedar was used in the Temple to make the structural parts. Cedar was even used in some temple rituals. Cedar grows in long and straight grains, making excellent planks and very stable poles and rafters. Have you ever heard of a cedar chest or cedar beams?
The oil for lighting was olive oil, but not just any olive oil. According to the sages, the olives for that purpose had to come from the very top of the olive tree where they would have absorbed the most sunlight and pressed only once (the first press of the olive). This oil is known today as "cold pressed" extra virgin oil. This was the fuel for the Menorah and the oil for anointing. By the way, there are up to four or five other presses of the olive, including for food, to keep the skin soft, for fuel, and even for soap.
The pressing and crushing of the olive reminds us of the Messiah when He suffered for us. He is the Anointed One: He anoints us, He is food for us, and He cleans us up.
The variety of spices for the anointing oil and the incense included frankincense and cinnamon, and other ingredients. Only the priests had the actual recipes and were permitted to blend the items. This recipe was not to be replicated and used for other purposes.
They also collected gem stones used in the breastplate for the High Priest. These stones represented the tribes of the children of Israel being brought before the LORD by the High Priest.
You shall make a breastpiece of judgment, the work of a skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen you shall make it. It shall be square and folded double, a span in length and a span in width. "You shall mount on it four rows of stones; the first row shall be a row of ruby, topaz and emerald; and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond; and the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst; and the fourth row a beryl and an onyx and a jasper; they shall be set in gold filigree. The stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve, according to their names; they shall be like the engravings of a seal, each according to his name for the twelve tribes. You shall make on the breastpiece chains of twisted cordage work in pure gold. You shall make on the breastpiece two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. You shall put the two cords of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece. You shall put the other two ends of the two cords on the two filigree settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, at the front of it. You shall make two rings of gold and shall place them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on the edge of it, which is toward the inner side of the ephod. You shall make two rings of gold and put them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it close to the place where it is joined, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod. They shall bind the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it will be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece will not come loose from the ephod. Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of judgment over his heart when he enters the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually. Exodus 28:15-29
According to the sages, each gem stone was specifically assigned to a tribe with the name of the tribe etched (engraved) in the stone. Here is a list of the tribes, the Hebrew names for the stones, what type of gemstone may have been used, and the likely color for each stone used in the breastplate.
Reuben, Odem, (Jasper or Ruby) red
Simeon, Pit'dah, (Topaz or Emerald) green
Levi, Barekes, (agate) white, black, and red
Judah, Nefech, (malachite or turquoise) sky blue
Issachar, Sapir, (lapis lazuli or sapphire) midnight blue
Zebulun, Yahalom, (zircon or diamond) white
Dan, Leshem, (amber or jacinth) midnight blue
Naphtali, Shevo, (agate or obsidian) black and white mixed
Gad, Achlamah, (amethyst or agate) blush
Asher, Tarshish, (Aquamarine or topaz) blue
Joseph, Shoham, (onyx) deep black
Benjamin, Yashfeh, (Opal or elements of other stones embedded together) multi-colored
There is another list of precious stones given to us in Scripture concerning the walls of the New Jerusalem that is similar. This list is translated from the Greek instead of the Hebrew, but you will notice the many similarities.
The material of the wall of it was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. Revelation 21:18-20
The Scripture often equates the saints to precious stones. In the breastplate, the tribes were symbolized; the walls of the future home of the saints (New Jerusalem) are also equated with them. There is an even more powerful picture that speaks to our redemption. Every gemstone begins as gravel and dirt. The gemstone must go through a transition of being cleaned, shaped, and polished to bring out the beauty that was always there. The same can be said of all saints. We too must be cleaned and polished for the true value in ourselves to come forth. The LORD sees us with this great value and considers all of us to be precious in His sight, no matter where we are in the cleaning and polishing process.
Next, Moses described the construction of three very important furnishings: the Ark, the Table of Showbread, and the Menorah. According to the sages of Israel, these particular items were shown to Moses in a 3D format of "Living Fire" (the very substance of God that Moses could see and understand).
The Ark (the Aron haBrit)
"They shall construct an ark of acacia wood two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide, and one and a half cubits high. "You shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding around it. "You shall cast four gold rings for it and fasten them on its four feet, and two rings shall be on one side of it and two rings on the other side of it. "You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. "You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them. "The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. "You shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you. "You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. "You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat. "Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. "The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. "You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. "There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel. Exodus 25:10-22
The Ark (the Aron haBrit) was actually three boxes. It was a box of wood with a box of gold on the outside and a box of gold on the inside. Each of the three boxes had four walls and a bottom. For purposes of measurements common to us, most scholars equate a cubit to approximately 18 inches. A cubit was the measurement from the point of the elbow to the tip of your fingers; therefore, the consensus of most scholars is that the Ark was 60 inches long, 36 inches wide, and 36 inches tall. The thickness of the walls was 2 inches and the bottom was 4 inches. The gold inside and out was not gold plating. Instead, a complete new gold box was made to fit inside and outside of the wooden box. Then a gold plate sat on top of the upper edges of the three boxes around the upper perimeter sealing the three boxes together as shown in the illustration.
The outer gold box added to the overall dimensions of the Ark, causing its height to be 44 inches high. This extra gold at the top of the box was formed into a diadem, an ornate crown shape all along the top rim of the Ark. It is unknown exactly what it looked like but may have appeared as gold filigree and would have been very decorative.
Two gold rings were also installed on two of the outer sides of the outer gold box. As you faced the Ark, you would see the rings left and right on either side with a total of four rings (two on each side). These rings were placed approximately one-third of the way down the box from the top (approximately 13 inches). The carrying poles would be inserted into the rings and the Ark could be carried by the priests holding the poles. When the Ark was resting with its poles in place you would have seen something strange. According to tradition, the poles were pushed forward to protrude forward of the front of the Ark rather than centered on either side of the box. The centered position of the poles was only during transport. The resting position had the poles pushed forward. If you entered the first chamber of the Tabernacle called the "Holy Place," you would have seen the Veil separating the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies where the Ark was, and you would have seen two protruding points in the Veil about knee high. This was an indicator of the Ark's presence and its location behind the Veil. See the illustration provided. The Holy of Holies was a space of 20 cubits by 20 cubits (30 feet by 30 feet). The poles of the Ark were 10 cubits (18 feet long). With the Ark centered in the space and the poles pushed forward, this is how the Ark would have rested with the poles slightly protruding into the Veil. A description of this is mentioned in 1 Kings 8:8.
When the Ark was being transported (carried) by the priests, each of the priests walked facing the Ark at all times. Therefore, the front priests walked backwards while carrying the Ark. This was in respect of God's presence. You could only turn your back to the Ark if a veil was in place shielding you from the Ark. The High Priest on Yom Kippur also maintained this posture when entering and departing the Holy of Holies where the Ark stood. He could not turn his back to the Ark. This same custom remains today in approaching and departing from the Kotel (the Wailing Wall). One must keep one's face toward the Wall when leaving the Wall for several paces before turning and walking away from the Kotel.
As mentioned before, the poles or staves were probably made of cedar wood (even though modern translators say acacia wood), which is a strong, long grain wood excellent for making beams and poles. Cedar also has incredible natural properties for preservation, it is not prone to rotting due to heat and moisture as many woods are. It is also believed that the poles had knobs at either end. These knobs would have maintained the poles in the rings, not allowing the poles to slide out. It is very possible that the final overlaid gold work on these knobs was not completed until they had been first installed in the rings. The poles were never removed from the rings.
Consider this interesting piece of trivia: There were two Arks constructed. One was made by Moses which held the Tablets prior to the actual construction of the Ark in the Tabernacle.
At that time the LORD said to me, "Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood for yourself. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and you shall put them in the ark. So I made an ark of acacia wood and cut out two tablets of stone like the former ones, and went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, the Ten Commandments which the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me. Then I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me. Deuteronomy 10:1-5
This Ark is believed to have held the broken tablets as a result of the sin of the golden calf. According to tradition, the temporary Ark made by Moses was also carried into battle and it was said that a fire would come out of the Ark when Israel was battling her enemies. It is believed that the actual energy of this weapon came out of the end of the poles. The second Ark was constructed by Bezalel and installed in the Tabernacle. This second Ark held the intact second set of tablets, the broken pieces of the first set of tablets underneath, and the Scroll written by Moses and given to Joshua and the priests at the crossing of the Jordan. A jar of manna and Aaron's rod were also kept with the Ark. No one knows what happened to the first Ark of Moses. It is never mentioned again. Only one Ark is mentioned after the Temple was built in Jerusalem.
The Mercy Seat above the lid of the Ark was also made to sit atop the box. The Lid of the Ark was two and a half cubits (four and a half feet) long and one and a half cubits (two feet three inches) wide. It was a handbreadth thick and fit snugly over the top of the two inner boxes on the gold plate covering the two inner boxes. The edge of the outer box held the lid in place. On either end of the lid there also was gold material that was formed into two cherubim angels. They were not made separate from the lid and then installed on the lid. Scripture says the cherubim were one part with the Mercy Seat. This was not a minor work to form this; it was a very serious undertaking and speaks to the craftsmanship ability of the those assigned to the task.
According to tradition, the cherubim were formed to appear almost as children, one male and one female, facing each other with their heads slightly turned down. The cherubim were approximately forty inches high above the lid. If a pair of their wings was pointing upward, then they would have been even higher.
The position, number, and shape of the wings is a matter of some controversy. Most depictions of the Ark, those given by Jewish sources, such as the Temple Institute, present two wings lifted up and then bending over to form a covering over the lid. Their depiction of the cherubim is with two wings each (one pair for each angel). The passage in Exodus does not tell us how many wings to make, just that the wings were to be designed to be spread upward, covering the mercy seat. However, cherubim as defined later in Ezekiel chapter 1 describes them as having four wings (two pairs). Ezekiel's vision of the throne of God presents God's presence as above the cherubim as a fiery chariot called the Merkavah. If this understanding is correct, then the cherubim would have had two wings covering the lid and two other wings upward. The actual Hebrew language instructing the construction of the cherubim calls for two wings covering the lid AND two wings upward (See the illustration below). This configuration would have formed the Mercy Seat in the wings of the cherubim rather than sitting on the lid of the Ark enclosed by the covering wings.
It was understood that the LORD's presence was between the wings and sitting atop of the lid. When Moses would go to the Tent of Meeting and speak with the LORD, it was said that the voice of God originated from the Mercy Seat while Moses was standing before the Ark separated by the Veil.
As a side note, Seraphim were angels elevated above the God's Throne in Heaven with six wings each. In Isaiah chapter 6, the Prophet Isaiah describes them to us in his comparable vision of God's throne.
The Table (the Shulchan)
"You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long and one cubit wide and one and a half cubits high. "You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold border around it. "You shall make for it a rim of a handbreadth around it; and you shall make a gold border for the rim around it. "You shall make four gold rings for it and put rings on the four corners which are on its four feet. "The rings shall be close to the rim as holders for the poles to carry the table. "You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that with them the table may be carried. "You shall make its dishes and its pans and its jars and its bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. "You shall set the bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times. Exodus 25:23-30
The Table of Showbread (Shulchan) was similar in construction to the Ark. It was made of wood and then overlaid from top to bottom (including its legs) with gold. It had an ornate crown rim just like the box of the Ark. What is not pictured many times was how the entire apparatus held the twelve loaves of bread on the table. Each loaf had a gold pan. According to Jewish tradition, the two stacks of six loaves and their pans were supported by a set of tubes that provided a shelf for each loaf of bread. Plus, there was a set of two gold spoons that held frankincense with the loaves.
Like the Ark, the Shulchan also had a set of four rings with poles to carry the table. But unlike the Ark with rings on its sides, the rings and poles on the Table were mounted and installed along the front and back.
How the actual bread loaves that were baked and placed on the table in their dishes were then arrayed in two stacks is a subject of some mystery. Another way of saying showbread is to say, "the bread of faces." Some scholars offer an alternative and say it means "the bread of surfaces." Those who say "faces" say that in the baking process one edge of the loaf was formed into the profile of a face (see above). Those who said "surfaces" think the bakers formed the loaf by folding a long rectangular lump of dough into a unique 'U" shape for baking. These loaves were arrayed on the Table and its supports up to a height of 40 inches above the table. The spoons were mostly likely set on the top of the two stacks of bread or on the table surface between the two stacks. According to many Jewish sources, the bread was placed fresh each Sabbath day and the previous week's bread was removed and eaten by the priests. The miracle was that the bread was as fresh when they ate it as on the day it was first placed.
In the days of David before he was king, David was given this bread while he was escaping from the tantrums of King Saul. David was not a priest, yet the priests of his day gave it to him, which speaks to the role of David and the Messiah. The Messiah is the Son of David, and He has the right to consume the showbread as our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.
The Lampstand (the Menorah)
Then you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand and its base and its shaft are to be made of hammered work; its cups, its bulbs and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its other side. Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bulb and a flower--so for six branches going out from the lampstand; and in the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its bulbs and its flowers. A bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. Their bulbs and their branches shall be of one piece with it; all of it shall be one piece of hammered work of pure gold. Then you shall make its lamps seven in number; and they shall mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it. Its snuffers and their trays shall be of pure gold. It shall be made from a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. See that you make them after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain. Exodus 25:31-40
The making of the Menorah for the Tabernacle was even more complicated than the construction of the Ark and the Shulchan. It was fashioned from a single solid piece of gold that was beaten into its shape with six branches and a stem in the center. The basic shape of the Menorah is also a controversial topic. Some say that the branches originated out from the stem on the sides and then curved upward forming a row of lights. This is the traditional image of the Menorah we most often see. However, some argue that the branches actually were straight, angling upward to form a row of lights. See illustrations. The base was believed to be a box with sufficient size and weight to keep the Menorah from toppling over.
The stem and the branches were also adorned with a set of goblets, knobs, and flowers. Each of these items was also adorned on its sides with the oval shape of an almond. The stem and the branches each had an array of these items leading to the cup at the top to hold the oil and its wick as a light.
The Temple Menorah that was in Jerusalem definitely had curved branches and a double hexagon base as depicted on the Arch of Titus as it was carried off by the Romans.
Only the priests were permitted to light the Menorah and trim its wicks. We have already discussed the oil, but the wicks were formed from the soiled and discarded priestly linen garments used in the altar service.
The priests would trim the wicks inward toward the center from each side. The center light was called the "western lamp" as it would face toward the west. There is a Messianic legend that says the western lamp would not stay lit during the days of Yeshua. They would light it in the evening and it would go out on its own. Some have said that "the true Light of the World" was with them in those days.
Back to our Menorah: there were also tongs and scoops made to service the Menorah (to clean each cup and prepare it with new fuel and wick).
Today, goldsmiths are perplexed as to how the Menorah and all of its elements were formed from a single solid piece of gold. Adding to this mystery, some rabbis argue that its formation was by God's hand, with the single piece of gold melted into its basic shape first and then detailed by the hammer work of the artisans.
The Menorah stood five feet high. A set of steps was used by the priests when they serviced the lamps. (People tended to be shorter back then!)
Whenever you walked into the Holy Place (the first chamber) of the Tabernacle you would have seen the Menorah on your left facing the Shulchan. The Shulchan would have been on your right, and behind the Veil beyond them would have been the Ark. There is also another piece of furniture that would be seen in this first chamber that will be described in next month's article.
Let's step back for a moment and consider God's instructions for building the Tabernacle before we go further. If you were to plan to build a house, you probably would lay out a floor plan for the rooms and depicting the entrances and exits of the structure. Then you would show some elevation diagrams showing the front, sides, and back of the structure. Only after the complete design was done would you place furnishings or consider the décor. However, the opposite is true of the Tabernacle and God's pattern for it. If we are to understand what God had really done here, we need to see His priorities in the construction.
The Ark is one of the most powerful, visible symbols given in Scripture for our Heavenly Father, Almighty God. The Father sits on the Mercy Seat and renders His righteous judgments. The Shulchan is also one of the most powerful symbols for the Messiah. He is the "true bread from Heaven" and serves us like Joseph did his brethren. Joseph's title in Egypt was the "bread man of life." Even further, the Messiah is likened to the manna that was given to the children of Israel—and they did not know what it was. The Messiah is the King of Israel and the Redeemer and was sent to preserve us and provide for us. The Menorah is one of the most powerful symbols of the Holy Spirit. Aside from the obvious comparisons of oil and light, the Menorah guides us into the presence of God and shows us the path. Altogether, the Ark/Aron haBrit, Shulchan, and the Menorah show us the Unity of God and how three parts are unified into One. The Tabernacle plan begins with these three furnishings to show that the most important part of the Tabernacle is God's presence. The same is true of the Tabernacle built in our hearts. The presence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is all there. When you step into the Tabernacle and come before His Mercy seat separated by the Veil, you are surrounded by the presence of God – the Father is before you, the Son is to the right, and the Holy Spirit is to your left. The Son paid the price to remove your sins and the Holy Spirit led you to the Father.
In Part 2 of this article, we will examine the details of the remainder of the Tabernacle, including the construction of the chambers, the golden altar, the brazen altar, the veils, the curtains, and the priestly garments. We will examine even further the process of the construction and how it relates to our "working out our salvation."

PX Quest is split into many different worlds, each yielding about 3-7 levels and a boss level, although this isn't the case for every world. Nevertheless, worlds are packed into continents, which is a group of worlds you are allowed to choose from upon beating a world. There are 8 continents, including the Fortress of Darkness, even though there is only one option at that point.
Continent 0
Technically not a continent, this area contains only one world with 2 levels and serves as the tutorial area.
Tutorial Town (World 0-1)
Humble Hole
Humble Hole is a deep crater created by the meteor that PX hitched a ride on. The player learns how to navigate their way out of the hole with minimal abilities, only being able to move left and right as of right now. There are few enemies, but are invincible and cannot be damaged in any way. This level is a slow ascent, and is complete when PX makes their way out of the hole.
In a cutscene immediately afterwards, PX learns of the dark figure's presence and gain the ability to jump from a meteorite. The Boss Level is now unlocked.
BOSS: Pillaged by the Goons!
PX immediately starts off in a small town, being attacked by various enemies. Now with the ability to jump, PX must traverse their way through the monster infected village by hopping over mobs, collapsed structures, even from building to building. Soon enough, PX will find their way to a tall tower in the center of the town, with there being apparently the head of the goons commanding the monsters. Entering the tower, PX will have to dodge past some charging enemies, who simply require timing to overcome. Ascending to the tower's top, PX comes face to face with the leader of the attack, Commander Nega. The boss battle begins.
Commander Nega, despite looking fairly menacing, is actually very a fairly easy boss during this first encounter, as he will simply dash at you and fire small missles that will likely explode before they get a chance to come near you. After dashing you a couple times, Nega will take a quick cooldown, leaving him open. Simply stomp on him and he'll be hit. Do it three more times, and your good as gold.
Following his defeat, Commander Nega will order a retreat, fleeing from the town. Unfortunately, pretty much everyone is already dead, and most buildings are destroyed. PX watches Commander Nega and his crew as they fly off into the distance before hoping of the top of the tower and heading on it's way. The level then ends, and Continent 1 is unlocked.
Continent 1
This area is a quiet plain with lush grasslands and just very peaceful. Same can't be said for the worlds in them. There are two worlds to chose from, to start off.
Beaten Path (World 1-1)
The First Level
The First Level is...self explanatory. A mostly flat walk fowards, with an occasional enemy or two. This level introduces Break Blocks, large blockades with cracks in them that seemingly can't be broken. These often hide secrets and the such, so revisiting this level in the future, no matter how much it kills you to, is reccomended. Besides that, there is very little else here, so this level will be done in no time.
Easy Elevation
A bit more of a challenge, with platforming across bottomless pits, using flying enemies as platforms, and secrets hidden in the clouds. For the most part, PX climbs up several tall blocks of land(which are as such for no feasible reason) and hops off clouds, which are apparently solid. The level ends at a high plateau, with clouds seemingly within in arms' reach.
Tiring Trek
A much larger shift in difficulty from the past two levels, taking plass on a mountain trail. Platforming skills are ramped up, with dodging spinning buzzsaw blades, crumbling platformings, and giant bolders of doom. The level ends at the supposed top of the mountain, with only one more time around until PX reaches his destination.
BOSS: Oblig Ah Tory; First World Boss!
At the top of the mountain lays a large stone, with an odd looking...face? Turns out it's not just a stone, it's a boss! Oblig Ah Tory(must be a foregin name) is a mighty beast of stone whose greatest weakness is...himself. He has inpenetrable defenses, and jumping on him isn't even possible, given his size. He'll smash his body into the ground in an attempt to crush you, and he'll chip off some of himself in the process. All you have to do is survive, as time goes on, Oblig will go down in about 4 hits to ground.
As Oblig shatters into pieces, a piece of him is actually another meteorite! Grabbing it grants PX the ability to use the Drill Jump technique, which is useful for finding secrets in early levels. The level ends, and Continent 2 is unlocked.

Not only his character will have several different costumes but also the superhero will have an updated shield at particular moment in 'Captain America: The First Avenger', the actor reveals.
The first look at Chris Evans as Captain America recently has been unveiled during "Captain America: The First Avenger" panel at San Diego Comic Con, but the suit seen in the footage was said to be a "test version". Speaking to MTV Movie News, the actor has hinted that there will be more than one costume for his character in the film.
"There's a couple stages and initially in the script, Steve [Rogers] isn't Captain America right away. He gets the injection and isn't asked to go to war right off the bat," he began his explanation. "He's used in different areas, so he has different stages of the suit. I don't think he actually jumps into the final suit until the third act of the film."
He additionally claimed that the suit will fit the film's setting during World War II, stating "It's a World War II movie, so I think a little bit of a cumbersome feel to it and something that's a bit chunkier ... not only serves the time period, I think it looks better." Evans went on detailing, "It's not this sleek spandex suit. It looks like something you might wear in the '40s in the middle of a war."
From talking about the suit, the conversation moved on to discuss Captain America's shield. Asked if the shield will also have a few different looks in the film, the depicter of the titular character said, "Well, during the USO tour, there's obviously a different shield. And he goes on a couple missions, he goes AWOL and kind of takes the USO shield. And he's kind of allowed to be this soldier and they outfit him with the new uniform. They decide to outfit him with an updated shield."
"Captain America: The First Avenger" is currently in production in London, England. It centers its story on Steve Rogers who volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. This Joe Johnston-directed action film secures July 22, 2011 slot for its U.S. release.

I had to shave them today it constantly annoyed me how bushy they were. I put bandages on but it still looks weird😭😭😭
Most Helpful Girl
You can buy something that's supposed to make them grow back. In the mean time you'll have to draw them on.
I don't know exactly what product it is, but my friend had an issue with one eyebrow and needed to grow it back.00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
You put bandages on your eyebrows? lmao, you should wait until they grow bro, a true man simply doesn't shave his eyebrows ;D00|00|0
But won't it take months? What will I do till then?😭😭i had to shave them they looked like rectangles that were drawn with a heavy duty marker
Well can't say anything if it will take months or not without seeing ya eyebrows pics :D But as far as I know it won't take so long if you just trimmed them a little. I have a bitch-ass friend who shaves his eyebrows regularly and it doesn't take a month.

Latest surface analysis indicating precipitable water values around 0.80 in Denver to 1.2 inches near the NE border. 100 mb ML CAPES in the 1000-1500 j/kg range in the urban Corridor to 2500-3000 j/kg over the far northeast plains of CO. No change regarding the potential for severe storms with a slight risk east of a Sterling to Last Chance line, with a marginal risk elsewhere. For tonight, an upper trough over western WY is progged to move eastward and brush across the region, before exiting into NE by 18z Tuesday. Weak mid level qg ascent will be over the cwa tonight and Wednesday morning, with weak mid level qg descent in the afternoon. The strongest storm late this afternoon and evening will occur along and south of a cold front that is progged to push north to south across the cwa after 00Z. Due to the high water content locally heavy rainfall also likely along with potential flooding toward NE and KS this evening. No flash flood watches planned but will need to keep an eye on Washington and eastern Morgan counties, where a few locations were hit with heavy rain earlier in the week. Low overcast stratus may occur over the urban corridor through the morning, with some residual shower activity across southern and eastern parts of the cwa. Wednesday afternoon, in spite of the mid level subsidence behind the trough, there should be enough moisture coupled with afternoon heating to initiate another around of showers and thunderstorms. They will likely not be as intense as those expected this evening. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 128 PM MDT Tue Aug 15 2017 An unsettled pattern will continue through the extended with near normal temperatures. By Wednesday evening the upper trough will have moved east over Kansas. PW values will increase against the foothills with ESE flow against the higher terrain. This will help CAPE values get into the 300 to 400 j/kg range by 00z Thursday. This will allow for storms to continue into the late evening hours over the higher terrain and foothills due to continued orographic lift. On the plains conditions will stabilize enough to keep most convection to the west. On Thursday, models indicate another weak shortwave moving over the NE plains bringing showers and thunderstorms to the region. Closer to the foothills conditions will be drier in the lower levels due to more westerly flow at the surface vs further east. Winds on the eastern plains will increase from the SSW into the late afternoon and evening hours due to a building lee side trough and a surface high over Central Kansas. This will help usher in moisture from the south and increase CAPE values into the 1500 to 2000 j/kg range. Deep layer shear values will remain lower in the 20s so severe is not expected at this time. Main hazards will be gusty winds and brief heavy rain with the possibility of small hail further east. Temperatures will be around normal with highs in the mid 80s. For Friday into the weekend the upper level ridge will build allowing for a return to zonal flow over the state. This will bring in slightly drier air for Friday allowing for decreased storm coverage and moisture values dropping. By the weekend WSW upper level flow aloft will allow for disturbances to move over the state increasing chances for afternoon convection into the start of next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 128 PM MDT Tue Aug 15 2017 Surface cold front will impact areal terminals by this evening around 01z as winds increase from the north. Isolated thunderstorms developing around the Denver area with some outflow possibly triggering additions showers and storms prior to 01z, but the best potential may be this evening or or after fropa. Showers will decrease after midnight but low clouds in post frontal airmass with MVFR cigs developing toward 12z. Ceiling should start to lift toward 18z terminals may still be dealing with ILS restrictions. More thunderstorms possible Wednesday aftn after 21z but less intense with more isolated coverage for Denver. && .BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Jason is a friend from church. When I approached him for advice about a claim from an auto accident that left me with permanent injuries, the time for filing the claim had nearly expired. Jason began to work for me immediately. He made every effort to settle the claim through mediation, experiencing the same frustration I had experienced with the insurer. Jason was marvelous throughout the trial. He prepared each witness extremely well, presented a well documented and thorough case, and gave keen attention to details. The jury award was substantially higher than mediation would have rendered. Now I consult Jason regularly, fully trusting him with my family law business including divorce, will, and matters of estate. Jason is a hard worker, always prepared, ethical and fair.

Jason Page has represented me for the past year in a case which involved a piece of longleaf timberland I own in eastern North Carolina. Someone impersonated me and sold my timber to a local forest products company. Jason Page helped me recover my damages from the insurance firm representing the timber company. My mediation was completed in January 2012.
I was extremely satisfied with his help on all levels. He was available and responsive through emails and telephone calls and always kept me in the loop with regards to papers that he filed and developments in my case. His background of working in timber before becoming a lawyer made him especially valuable in my case…volumes, pricing, optimal merchandising of a timber tract…all are a bit obscure if you are not in the timber world.
But in a broader sense, this is a person who I would use for any legal matter that he is willing to take on. His honesty, prompt attention to detail, and full involvement with the case at hand all commend him. With more lawyers like Jason Page, the public impression of the profession would get a big boost.
Posted by anonymous
We have found Jason to be attentive, reliable, hard-working, conscientious, honest, knowledgeable and helpful. Jason takes the time to really listen, and understand your situation, explains the options, then sets about to take care of you and resolve the matter at hand. We are currently in a Real Estate dispute. We are very comfortable in recommending Jason, have numerous times, and will use him again ourselves in the future.
Posted by Tom
Mr. Page is thorough, honest, and proficient in legal matters. He explains legal matters clearly without insulting intelligence. He has been helpful to me with various types of personal and family law.
Posted by Shannon
Jason helped me and my husband through a very sensitive family legal sitiuation. Not only was he knowledgable and proficient but he was empathetic to the reality of our unique needs. He was always available and responded promptly to all correspondance. We consider him our lawyer now and will use him for any future needs.

There's a lot of cool stuff going on in Activision's research and development department. Earlier this week, the gaming company released a clip showcasing what very well may be a glimpse into the future of what video games will look like - and let's just say it pushes the facial rendering envelope in ways most haven't ever seen before.
The above video was showcased at this week's Game Developers Conference with the following description:
The original high resolution data was acquired from Light Stage Facial Scanning and Performance Capture by USC Institute for Creative Technologies, then converted to a 70 bones rig, while preserving the high frequency detail in diffuse, normal and displacement composite maps.
It is being rendered in a DirectX11 environment, using advanced techniques to faithfully represent the character's skin and eyes.
Again, this is from Activision's R&D department and not from any particular or upcoming game, but still, this is clearly where video games are headed. Depending on your point of view, either get excited or be prepared to get freaked out.
Unquestionably, the details surrounding the eyes and mouth are impeccable. Indeed, the only aspect that seems to need a bit of work is the character's teeth.

APO Supreme Snowboard Review & Buying Advice
APO Supreme 2014 Review by The Good Ride
The APO Supreme is an interesting board. To start off I think someone filed down the edges because we have never experienced so little edge hold. It was to the point where it was a bit scary. Hopefully this was not how the board really rides because there is some snap and pop to it.
Size: 160
Days: 1
Conditions: Some patches with loose snow and some hard snowment patches as well.
Riders: James, Peter
Boots: Burton Ion, Nike Kaiju
Bindings: Union Factory
Set Up: Centered about 23″ wide 15 front -15 back
On Snow Feel: Felt stable between the feet and felt lively under foot but it was hard to get over the complete lack of edge hold.
Powder: No Powder but it seems like it will plane well.
Turn Initiation and Carving: Didn't even try to carve. Just tried to survive till we got to the bottom of the run. Even simple edge to edge transitioning was difficult because of the lack of edge hold. It was pretty much a slide to the bottom of the hill while thinking about what we were going to ride next.
Speed: Didn't really go fast because we wanted to stop in less than 100 yards.
Uneven Terrain: Seemed like it
Edge Hold: horrible and scary. Someone must of had a long smelly brain fart with the file in hand when they were de-tuning it. It felt like the edges were round.
Flex: Nice snappy Medium to medium soft flex that was easy to butter but still felt like it could handle some mountain speed.
Switch: Felt the same either way.
Jibbing: Seemed like it could be a good jibber.
Pipe: Didn't even think about stopping in the pipe.
Jumps: Great snap and it felt really lively. It's also pretty stable approaching kickers.
Basically neither Peter and I felt like we want to ride this again with a board right out of the wrapper to see if the edge hold is truly this bad. Hopefully it isn't. If the edge hold was middle ground we would of really liked this board.

When judicial authorities seek evidence that a company's turnaround is complete and want to give the business a second chance, they look for a few clues -- namely management competence, strategic vision, a new business plan and vendor support. Fresh-start accounting is right there in the mix, allowing the newly formed organization to correctly capture economic events and nurture its way back into financial soundness.
Fresh-start accounting gives a breath of bookkeeping fresh air to a company that has emerged from bankruptcy or is successfully coping with the remnants of a liquidation process. This type of record-keeping enables the business to adjust its assets to the current value at the time of reorganization, reporting its liabilities based on the present value of future settlement amounts. To use fresh-start accounting, a company must meet two criteria at the time of reorganization: Its initial owners possess less than 50 percent of the corporate voting stock, and the fair value of the company's assets is less than its aggregate operational liabilities. These include money that the organization owed prior to bankruptcy and debt it incurred during the reorganization process.
Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory pronouncements about fresh-start accounting -- and all reorganization-related financial reporting practices, for that matter -- generally reach a vast audience. Besides companies involved in bankruptcy or near-liquidation proceedings, attorneys and business strategists heed what Congress does with respect to post-bankruptcy accounting. Academic scholarship also devotes much ink to the subject of fresh-start accounting, especially university lecturers and members of think tanks who closely follow economic trends and the number of companies that go out of business. To comply with fresh-start accounting, a company first must agree to follow all record-keeping rules the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes. FASB rules are also known as generally accepted accounting principles.
Averting Early Capitulation
By allowing a company to start anew in terms of bookkeeping and financial reporting, government officials help top leadership prevent an early capitulation. This often happens when senior executives, feeling the burden of a previously contracted debt pile, cannot implement proper strategies to bring the business back on track and help it make money. For example, if a company uses post-bankruptcy accounting to report debts amounting to $1 million instead of $10 million, it's more likely to attract the attention of lenders who fret about credit risk. In essence, fresh-start accounting relieves the organization of a prior financial load -- such as a loan or other contractual commitment -- by reducing the obligation amount significantly.
Personnel Involvement
Employees who help a business implement and track fresh-start accounting processes include financial managers, accountants and bookkeepers. Other personnel who contribute their intellectual wealth include corporate treasurers, tax managers and budget supervisors.
