10 In the spring of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and took him away to Babylon, with the beautiful vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah, his father's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.
12 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did not make himself low before Jeremiah the prophet who gave him the word of the Lord.
13 And he took up arms against King Nebuchadnezzar, though he had made him take an oath by God; but he made his neck stiff and his heart hard, turning away from the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
16 But they put shame on the servants of God, making sport of his words and laughing at his prophets, till the wrath of God was moved against his people, till there was no help.
17 So he sent against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to death with the sword in the house of their holy place, and had no pity for any, young man or virgin, old man or white-haired: God gave them all into his hands.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the stored wealth of the Lord's house and the wealth of the king and his chiefs, he took away to Babylon.
19 And the house of God was burned and the wall of Jerusalem broken down; all its great houses were burned with fire and all its beautiful vessels given up to destruction.
21 So that the words of the Lord, which he said by the mouth of Jeremiah, might come true, till the land had had pleasure in her Sabbaths; for as long as she was waste the land kept the Sabbath, till seventy years were complete.
23 Cyrus, king of Persia, has said, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the Lord, the God of heaven; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him and let him go up.

Volcano Bay is a new water park opening at Universal Orlando on Thursday, May 25, 2017.
Universal Orlando’s new Volcano Bay water park opened Thursday with visitors praising the waterslides and theming while also complaining about the long waits for rides, some of which experienced periodic breakdowns.
Universal spokesman Tom Schroder said in an email, “We know there were some opening-day glitches and we’re working hard to resolve them. We are also working especially hard to take care of our guests. We are sorry for any inconvenience we’ve caused them and we are grateful for their patience with us.” He declined to el...
The tropical-themed Volcano Bay has been billed as a next-generation water park, largely because of its ride reservation system. It also has a signature 200-foot-tall faux volcano that several slides are incorporated into. Those include the Krakatau Aqua Coaster, which shoots visitors up in rafts before sending them on...
Universal has billed its park as one in which customers don’t have to wait in line because of a system featuring TapuTapu wristbands. The bands let you reserve times on rides, but only one at a time. On Thursday, waits for some of the more popular rides stretched into five hours. And once the wristbands signaled it was...
Volcano Bay opened for a media preview on May 24th, 2017. The water theme park owned by Universal Orlando opens to the public May 25th.

"We thought it would be really quick," said Jim Rook of London after riding the Maku Puihi. "Thirty-two minutes or something we queued. It was a bit disappointing because we were on the queue for so long."
Theme-park experts say it will take some time to work the bugs out.
Thursday was the first real-world test with an almost-full water park, said Taylor Strickland, editor of the Universal-focused Orlando Informer blog.
The whole concept irritated some customers, since most rides require reservations.
"If all of the rides are return times, how are we supposed to fill that 30 minutes?" asked Nicola Roberts of Chelmsford, England.
Options include eating, shopping, lounging on the beach or enjoying the lazy river.
Some visitors bought Express Passes that allowed them to board rides immediately without reserving times. Ironically, though, Jesal Patel of Owensboro, Ky., said it took him a long time get the Express Pass loaded onto his TapuTapu because of technical problems.
“They just don’t have the kinks worked out,” he said.
Other issues were that the kiddie areas of the water park were not open about half of the day, signature rides such as the lazy river and Krakatau Aqua Coaster were closed for at least parts of the day, and construction areas could still be seen in some parts of the park.
"I think it possibly opened a bit quick," Nicola Roberts’ husband Gavin said.
Jeff Hiltbrand, a self-described “theme-park junkie,” came from Irvine, Calif., for the opening. After a rough patch of luck with slides and rides closing just as he approached, he made it onto Krakatau Aqua Coaster.
Crystal and Bryce Fellows, visiting from Mississippi, said their experience Thursday morning was a good one. They waited in queue for 20 minutes, which they thought was reasonable. "Easy peasy," Crystal Fellows said.
Another new feature of the water park is what it’s missing: a parking lot. Because of space constraints, Volcano Bay does not have parking immediately adjacent to it. Instead, people park in Universal’s main garage, going through special toll lanes that take them to their own section. From there, they pass through meta...

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt has finalized her divorce from R.B. Summitt after 27 years of marriage.
Summitt's lawyer, Bernie Bernstein, says the final paperwork was submitted in Blount County Circuit Court on Friday. Court clerk officials said Monday that the paperwork was still being processed.
Pat Summitt's petition, filed in August after the couple had been separated for several months, claimed irreconcilable differences. The pair have one child, 17-year-old Tyler.
Pat Summitt is the winningest basketball coach in NCAA history and just won her eighth national title. R.B. Summitt is the president of Sevier County Bank.
Bernstein said at the time the divorce paperwork was filed that the biggest issue likely would be division of property, though details of their divorce settlement were unavailable Monday.

What if I have a recurring conflict with the New Venture Orientation?
Please contact the Ready Stage Coordinator here to try to set up a different time.
If I have a developed venture already, do I still have to start in the Ready stage?
The IDEA program makes no exceptions to its process and requires all ventures to start in the Ready stage.
Do I have to have a business to join?
You do not have to have a running business to join the IDEA program, all we ask is that you have an idea you are passionate about pursuing further into a business.
No application is necessary to join the IDEA stage-gate process. Simply attend the New Venture Orientation and you will be entered into IDEA’s Ready stage.
“The Buffalo Police Department will not rest,” Mayor Byron W. Brown pledged on Sunday as the community reeled from the news that a 12-year-old boy had been shot to death while watching television in his family’s apartment on William Street.
That Badraldeen Mohamad Elwaseem’s death was a fluke – albeit a criminal one, caused by a stray bullet fired by someone as yet unidentified – makes the tragedy all the more heartbreaking. This shouldn’t have happened.
And so, the mayor offered precisely the right message with exactly the right tone. “We will continue to look for the person or persons responsible for this crime,” he said.
The death of the boy known as Badr demands righteous anger from everyone in Buffalo – not just the mayor and the police department, but everyone who cares about safety and decency and the ability of people to go about their business without worrying that a bullet might come through the window.
