Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
kart (aghalah): The Hebrew word has been translated in some passages "cart," and in others "wagon." In one verse only has it been translated "chariot." The context of the various passages indicates that a distinction was made between vehicles which were used for carrying baggage or produce and those used for carrying riders (chariots), although in their primitive form of construction they were much the same (compare English "cart" and "carriage").
Carts, like "chariots" (which see), were of Assyrian origin. They were early carried to Egypt where the flat nature of the country readily led to their adoption. From Egypt they gradually found their way among the people of the Palestinian plains. In the hills of Judea and Central Palestine, except where highways were built (1Sa 6:12), the nature of the country prevented the use of wheeled vehicles. 1Sa 6:7,8,10,11,14 show that the people of the plains used carts. The men of Kiriath-jearim found it easier to carry the ark (1Sa 7:1). Their attempt to use a cart later (2Sa 6:3,1; 1Ch 13:7) proved disastrous and they abandoned it for a safer way (2Sa 6:13).
That carts were used at a very early date is indicated by Nu 7:3,7,8. That these vehicles were not the common mode of conveyance in Palestine is shown in Ge 45. Pharaoh commanded that Joseph's brethren should return to their father with their beasts of burden (Gen 45:21) and take with them Egyptian wagons (Gen 45:19,21; 46:6) for bringing back their father and their families. The very unusual sight of the wagons was proof to Jacob of Joseph's existence (Gen 45:27).
Bible descriptions and ancient Babylonian and Egyptian pictures indicate that the cart was usually two-wheeled and drawn by two oxen.
With the Arabian conquests and subsequent ruin of the roads wheeled vehicles disappeared from Syria and Palestine. History is again repeating itself. The Circassians, whom the Turkish government has settled near Caesarea, Jerash (Gerasa) and Amman (Philadelphia), have introduced a crude cart which must be similar to that used in Old Testament times. The two wheels are of solid wood. A straight shaft is joined to the wooden axle, and to this a yoke of oxen is attached. On the Philistian plains may be seen carts of present-day Egyptian origin but of a pattern many centuries old. With the establishment of government roads during the last 50 years, European vehicles of all descriptions are fast coming into the country.
One figurative reference is made to the cart (Isa 5:18), but its meaning is obscure.

Yesterday I received a press release that announced Belinda Trussell is the Dressage Canada Equestrian Athlete of the Month for January. Today I was informed by a second release that Ashley Holzer is the Dressage Canada Equestrian Athlete of the Month for February. In the world of DC, time sometimes stands still (why are we learning about the January – and February for that matter – honorees in late March?) and sometimes it flies at the rate of a month in a day. Maybe I'll learn about the March winner tomorrow or in three months – who knows? It's all a grand surprise in the magical world of DC. It does seem that someone in DQ Canada PR land has no shortage of free time to dream up press releases that some of us might consider spam, such as last week's (or was it five minutes ago or last year?) DC release that nearly quivered with excitement over the release of Limited Edition silk ties and scarves available for purchase. Now you too can go out on the town looking like you came straight from the jog at the Olympics. It's not that the scarves and ties are ugly – by no means. But really. A press release?
I came across an online article about horses and their love of humans today, and I thought I would share it with you, in the hope that Michael Morrissey reads it and feels ashamed of himself finally. I also think you might find the article as amusing as I do for many reasons, all of which have to do with scientists and writers talking about horses without actually having any firsthand knowledge of them. For starters, the photo that accompanies the article titled "Horses never forget human friends" shows a horse being held by a handler who has put the lead rope like a lip chain beneath the horse's upper lip. Yeah horses love that! That's the friendliest thing ever. Here are a few choice bits from the article:
The horses were tested for their ability to retain such complex training skills as standing still to have thermometers inserted in their rectums. They were rewarded for good behaviour with "food pellets. With tasty rewards, the horses displayed more 'positive' behaviors." The article went on to explain that another group of horses that didn't receive rabbit food for their good behaviour "expressed four to six times more 'negative' behaviors, such as biting, kicking and 'falling down' on the experimenter." Were they doing a friendship test or a tolerance test for human stupidity?
The article does have some interesting points about the study's results about horses' cognitive ability and memory – I'm sure Crelido will never forget, Michael. I wish I could say the same of the FEI.
Here is the link to the article if you want to take a peek:

RELEASE: Groups Push Back on Billion-Dollar Giveaways to Dirty Energy in GOP Tax BillA coalition of environmental and climate justice, Indigenous rights, public health, consumer, and environmental groups delivered two letters urging lawmakers to oppose including the giveaway of billions of taxpayer dollars to the fossil fuel industry in any tax bill.
Expanding Subsidies for CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery: A Net Loss for Communities, Taxpayers, and the ClimateThis analysis explores the oil production, carbon emissions, and taxpayer cost implications of the proposed changes to Section 45Q in the U.S. tax code in S.1535 and H.R.3761.
Expanding Subsidies for CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery: A Net Loss for Communities, Taxpayers, and the ClimateCommunities in Houston, Florida, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, and California are just beginning the long road to recovery from disasters made worse by climate change. It would seem downright irresponsible to increase taxpayer handouts to spur fossil fuel production at a time like this. But that's exactly what's being proposed in Washington.
Statement On Congressional Efforts to Extend 45Qf passed, Oil Change International's forthcoming analysis reveals that this legislation would be worth up to $4.5 billion each year to the oil industry, making it the largest single federal handout to the fossil fuel industry.

This classic VW camper van went to auction in June 2016 with the potential of reaching up to £120,000.
It has spent the majority of its life in the U.S, but was shipped over to the UK in 2005, and underwent a full restoration.
The 1957 Type 2 Samba Microbus is highly sought after 23-window, split-screen model.
The van went under auction with the popular seller Bonhams, who described it as being 'as readily recognisable as the immortal Beetle itself and a cult vehicle in its own right'.
This particular microbus is the extremely sought after 23-window, split-screen model, which is one of the rarest and most popular models available.
The camper came about in the 1940s, when Dutch VW agent Ben Pon created plans for a van based on the Beetle floor plan and running gear. It was given the name 'Type 2' as the Beetle was known as the 'Type 1'.
This particular Type 2 model has been stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt, as well as having the seats blasted and painted, then re-trimmed in the original brown colour.
The camper van was given the guide price of between £80,000 and £120,000. The current UK record stands at £91,100 which was set at the 2015 festival.
Another element of the restoration was the headlining, door cards and sunroof, which were made and supplied by West Coast Classics in California.
A statement from Bonhams said: 'It remains in commensurately excellent condition, and there can be no better way in which to enjoy the Goodwood gatherings and this summer's other historic motor sports events.'

I found this recipe through Kraft's site. These are delectable - I can't even explain how much I adore a good cheese scone. I will never look for another one now that I tried this one.
It's a good recipe for halving, as I can make 4 large scones with a half-recipe.
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/3 cup cold butter/margarine, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese (I usually add a few small chunks of cheese too to get some nice cheese pockets in the scones)
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
Mix the first four ingredients well, then cut in the butter. Fork in the cheese and make a well in the middle. Whisk together milk and eggs and add to the centre of the well, then mix gently and briefly with a fork until somewhat together. Knead gently with hands just to make dough gather together. Divide into flattened circular shapes messily or go to the hassle of rolling 1/2 inch thick and cutting out circular shapes with a biscuit cutter.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-17 minutes. My larger biscuits (8 to a batch) take 17 minutes. They are a little slice of heaven, and are a perfect accompaniment for soup on a colder day.

"You don't have understand it. Go home." –Yomi Sode, Black British Poetry Night at the Afropean Festival 2017 and Fest Afrika 2017
In the beginning of July I headed back to Finland (I was there last summer) for the Afropean Conference, which was hosted by the University of Tampere. This biennial conference focuses on Black Europe, Black people in Europe, and Africans/African identity in Europe more generally. As always, there are too many things to highlight about the conference. Paul Gilroy was the keynote speaker who opened the conference. He spoke about many things which included: Grenfell tower, movements versus networks, his skepticism around social media, and the transformation of racism and racist attitudes—with wonderful sarcastic cynicism he stated "Apparently there are no more racists anymore." From panels on 'taking up space' to 'decolonizing the museum,' the insight and relevance of the work of the Black scholars, artists, activists I met there is unparalleled and refreshing—if not truly inspiring.
I curated and chaired a session, "Geographies of Blackness in European cities: Performing Africanness Through Art and Activism." It went extremely well and seemed to resonate with many people. The first speaker in my session was an Italian woman who spoke about and problematized how Italian women who do West African dance connect it with primitivity, freedom, wildness and associate the teachers (always African men) with repressed desire and sexuality. The second speaker, a Black American who's currently doing his PhD at UCLA, talked about the art and activism of the very huge Notting Hill (Caribbean) Carnival. The third speaker, Melanie, produced a comedic performance in Switzerland responding to a racist/anti-Black Swiss commercial. The final speaker, Kamal, talked about Afro-French conscious rap and the new movements in this genre that are show solidarity with Palestine. I'm hoping to create an anthology where each of these talks can be expanded upon and maybe other research that fits in with this theme can be included.
Saturday evening once the conference ended I took a train back to Helsinki, where I spent the night before heading to Copenhagen for the Copenhagen JazzFest. Northern Europe, and the communities I have here, has a special place in my heart so going from the Afropean conference in Finland to seeing friends in Copenhagen is only a testament to my feelings about this region of Europe.
A friend of mine curated a week of performances for the JazzFest which are not traditional music or jazz performances; such as talks, poetry, dance… all taking place at a cafe/bar which doubles as a cultural center. There was a talk by Ethelene Whitmire, who studies Black Americans in Copenhagen in the 20th century. Her talk focused on Black American jazz musicians in Copenhagen, their experiences, legacies, and the music communities they created. Black American artists and arts have a long history in Europe with Paris and Copenhagen mostly being the hubs. There is still a love of and support for Black Americans as artists and musicians in Europe even while other Black communities are treated poorly and unequally (such as Maghrebians, West Africans, East Africans, etc).
After Ethelene's talk followed poetry performances by Ghanaian poet Kwame Aidoo, whose work focuses on African folklore and symbolism, and a good friend of mine Adelina—who also goes by Ayun. Kwame's performance, entitled Queue To The Tap Dance, was an exploration of water and our bodies' relationship to it. With video imagery from Paris and Accra (the two cities where he is based) behind him and buckets at his feet, he vocally mapped the different manifestations of water and its role in history, present society, and the reality of scarcity.
Adelina—Ayun came ready to challenge the status quo and make people who are usually the majority reflect on their position. She aptly articulates the layers of pain and trauma as a Black person on the continent of Africa and in Europe. She simultaneously celebrates Blackness and makes any violence towards Black people or Black bodies feel foolish and inferior. She writes for us while living on a continent where we are relegated to the periphery. Her work is precise and important. It was a well-curated follow up to Kwame's work which is centered on exploring our relationship to our environment in order to better understand the Afro-Future.
The next day, thanks to my sister being a friend of his, I go to see drummer Ulysses Ownens Jr. and pianist Christian Sands perform. They are exceptional, serious jazz musicians and it's clear why the Danish musicians who played with them were in awe. The precision, passion, and ease with which both of them played jazz music was a sight to behold. The creativity and improvisation felt original, but at the same time new and reinvigorated. In my humble opinion, knowing very little about jazz—only being close to it through my father's love of jazz music and knowledge of jazz history, these two are the young contemporary jazz greats.
This last week has been full of both affirming and contesting Blackness in Black spaces, Black adjacent spaces, and spaces that become Black through our presence. It has been an immersion in the personification of Blackness through art, culture, academia, conversations, and encounters. It has made Europe a Black place for me, even if temporarily. This Blackness, I dare say, has made Europe a more interesting and accessible place for many of us who are normally peripheralized. From the Afropean Conference to the Copenhagen JazzFest, this week has been amazing for Black culture. My feelings can be best summed up in a quote by Maya Angelou; in my opinion the "mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."

often it is hard to find tasty vegan desserts (other than sweets from the earth) because most of them are made with either egg or some sort of dairy product. with the growing popularity of a vegan lifestyle, luckily for us, so too grows the vegan desserts available. below i have posted the EASIEST recipe for healthy vegan cookies. bananas are a great fruit to include in your diet because they are filling, high in potassium and contain other important nutrients such as b6. i make these cookies with carob because carob is vegan but taste just like chocolate, no seriously, just. like. chocolate. you can add more vegan ingredients to these cookies such as nuts, crushed oreos or even sprinkles!

We met at the usual time and at the usual place. MD's was absolutely dreadful. We saw a guy fade off a couple of waves. We were still mad at the place for denying us a ride on its sweet curves a few days prior, so we shined it in favor of good old NoTePads. A tip from Trevor ("Best NoTePads EVER") from the day before got us a little excited, but my expectations were tempered considering how crappy MD's looked.
We parked at our destination and Mike loaded up into The Rad. He was instantly blessed by the sweet jams of the GuyPod. Some would say it was these tunes which motivated him to suit up despite the conditions. The waves would spill over, but they were so fat and had so much water on them that staying on them would be a challenge. We saw a couple of possibly rideable waves out there, so we talked ourselves into paddling out.
Our pre-paddle pow-wow didn't betray us. It was as shitty as it had looked from the comfort of The Rad. Many waves were caught, but not many waves were ridden. It was a challenge just to descend into the troughs of these marshmallows. The bright side of course, is that we were by ourselves, in nature, with not one player hater in sight.
The wave of the day, and the only one I can really describe due to the others running together, was one I caught that turned into a double-up on take-off. I was the beneficiary of a quick burst of speed, which ran out, less than ten yards through the wave. I managed to somehow stay on this slowpoke, and made the inside connection. I got one quick burst of speed and came up nicely off the bottom, meeting the lip to slash it, then popping back down.
The water's getting really cold and it may be time to break out the gloves and booties soon.

Pernell Roberts, the outspoken actor who played Adam Cartwright, the thoughtful eldest son on television's seminal western series "Bonanza" and who was the last surviving member of the show's original family, died Sunday at his home in Malibu, Calif. He was 81.
The cause was pancreatic cancer, said his lawyer and friend Richard A. Stone.
Dark-haired, handsome and athletically built, Mr. Roberts was a rising theater actor — a busy Shakespearean, in fact — who had performed in a number of classic plays Off Broadway and on before he landed, in 1959, on the Ponderosa, the ranch that provided the setting for "Bonanza."
Adam, the first-born son of Ben Cartwright (Lorne Greene), a three-time widower who had had a son with each of his wives, was the book-smart one; Hoss (Dan Blocker) was the comic bruiser; Little Joe (Michael Landon) was the adorable but impetuous youngster with a lot to learn. When Mr. Landon died in 1991, Mr. Roberts was the only Cartwright left. According to a statement provided by Mr. Stone, he referred to himself jokingly as "Pernell the-Last-One Roberts."
Though "Bonanza" stayed on the air until 1973, Mr. Roberts left after the 1964-65 season. He had battled with the producers over the dearth of nonwhite actors and crew members on the show, and complained that the scripts were unchallenging for both actors and audiences. Actually, his words were harsher than that: "Junk TV," he called the show, accusing NBC, the network that broadcast it, of "perpetuating banality and contributing to the dehumanization of the industry."
In subsequent years, he appeared in numerous movies and touring theater productions, and made guest appearances on many television series, including "The Rockford Files," "The Paper Chase" and "Vega$," before landing in the title role on "Trapper John, M.D." an hourlong medical drama that was something of a spinoff from Robert Altman's 1970 film, "M*A*S*H," which was set behind the battle lines in the Korean war.
A rollicking surgeon with a healthy disrespect for authority, Trapper John McIntyre was played by Elliott Gould in the film and Wayne Rogers in the popular television series; "Trapper John, M.D.," which ran seven seasons, beginning in 1979, relocated him as the chief of surgery at a San Francisco hospital decades after his Army service.Continue reading the main story
Pernell Elven Roberts Jr. was born in Waycross, Ga., on May 18, 1928. He briefly attended Georgia Tech before joining the Marines in 1948; a musician who played baritone horn, sousaphone, tuba and percussion, he was assigned to the Marine Corps Band. On the G.I. Bill, he attended the University of Maryland, where he was drawn to acting, eventually leaving school to work at the newly formed Arena Stage in Washington. He moved to New York City in 1952.
Mr. Roberts was married four times and divorced three. A son, Christopher, died in 1989. He is survived by his wife, Eleanor Criswell.
In the burgeoning Off Broadway theater scene in New York in the mid-1950s, Mr. Roberts gained some notoriety in Shakespearean roles. He played Antonio in "Twelfth Night," Mercutio in "Romeo and Juliet," and the title role in "Macbeth," a performance The New York Times critic Brooks Atkinson described as "thoroughly masculine — a ruffian who bulls his way through the plot." In 1956, he was cast by the American Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Conn., as Petruchio in "The Taming of the Shrew," a production that reopened on Broadway the following year.
Moving to Hollywood, Mr. Roberts appeared in films that included "Desire Under the Elms," which starred Sophia Loren and Burl Ives.
Perhaps it was his high-minded background that gave him reason to bite the hand that fed him.
"I feel I am an aristocrat in my field of endeavor," he said in a 1965 interview with The Times. "My being part of 'Bonanza' was like Isaac Stern sitting in with Lawrence Welk."
An obituary on Tuesday about the actor Pernell Roberts misstated the cause of death. His lawyer and friend Richard A. Stone said it was pancreatic cancer, not prostate cancer. The obituary also misstated the year Mr. Roberts's son, Christopher, died. It was 1989, not 1991.

As a follow-up to my recent note on John McAfee and his book on the Hindu "yamas", I read a bit more about the Belize murder case against him. The circumstances of that murder still seem fishy, and Mr. McAfee's hypothetical role in it certainly does seem plausible. But McAfee seems to be off the hook now that he's back in the States. Or is he?
There's an interesting article on the Sci Am web site about new techniques for "lie detecting". These techniques are based on "big data" studies of people's behavior and language usage, not on "high tech" solutions such as sodium pentothol injections or wired lie detectors that monitor heart rates, brain wavelengths, skin tension, etc.
All you need now are some videos and e-mails of a suspected liar discussing things that relate to the "secret" that the person might be hiding. The big data studies show emerging trends and differences in what is said and how it is said between liars and truth-tellers.
Has anyone analyzed Mr. McAfee about the murder of his next door neighbor right after some of McAfee's dogs were poisoned? In fact, someone has! A high-tech company called "QVerify" reviewed several of McAfee's TV and internet interviews about the case, and has posted an analysis of its findings. QVerify was founded by former CIA officers and specializes in deception detection. They make their money applying techniques that one of their partners had developed for the CIA. That methodology is based on the analysis of verbal and non-verbal behaviors exhibited in response to questions. They claim that this is not just psycho-babble, but is real hard science. The article in Sci Am seems to affirm this.
The QVerity verdict on McAfee: the company found "a high level of deception exhibited by McAfee". So, unless you are a cold-blooded sociopath, be careful today whenever you try to fudge the truth, especially in front of a camera or on a web site or smart phone. We no longer live in a private world (as Edward Snowden reminded us; I hope he enjoys his stay in a police-state-in-the-making, or re-making actually). We increasingly need to assume that everything we say and do is digitally recorded and is available to someone with power or fortune. Young people especially seem resigned (or even enthusiastic) about having their daily lives captured on Facebook and YouTube. So comb your hair and smile, because big brother is watching indeed!
This technology may really be great for law enforcement and criminal justice. I wonder what it would show if applied to George Zimmerman? I suspect that he would get mixed grades, for lies mixed in with truths. I further suspect that most of us would get similar grades for discussing almost anything important about ourselves.
Verity techniques are becoming more and more reliable, and I'm sure that affordable lie-detecting software will soon be available to the public. So if you suspect that your wife or husband is cheating, or you just want to really know if your spouse thinks you are getting fat and dowdy, get them to talk about it on tape or camera (an I-Phone or Pad will do just fine), then keep an eye on their Facebook page for any and all comments to their friends about you. Run it thru the spiffy new truth software, and NOW YOU KNOW.
Are we human beings, along with our social structures, really ready for 100% honesty? WELCOME TO THE BRAVE NEW WORLD!!!
