▁They ▁are ▁conf ounded , ▁because ▁they ▁have ▁committed ▁ab om ination : ▁ye a ▁rather ▁they ▁are ▁not ▁conf ounded ▁with ▁conf usion , ▁and ▁they ▁have ▁not ▁know ▁how ▁to ▁bl ush : ▁therefore ▁shall ▁they ▁fall ▁among ▁them ▁that ▁fall ; ▁in ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁their ▁visit ation ▁they ▁shall ▁fall , ▁saith ▁the ▁Lord . ▁For ▁the ▁aff lic tion ▁of ▁the ▁daughter ▁of ▁my ▁people ▁I ▁am ▁aff lic ted , ▁and ▁made ▁sorrow ful , ▁ast on ish ment ▁hath ▁taken ▁hold ▁on ▁me . ▁The ▁Lord ▁hath ▁made ▁all ▁things ▁for ▁himself : ▁the ▁wicked ▁also ▁for ▁the ▁evil ▁day . ▁Bet ter ▁is ▁a ▁little ▁with ▁justice , ▁than ▁great ▁reven ues ▁with ▁iniquity . ▁Get ▁wisdom , ▁because ▁it ▁is ▁better ▁than ▁gold : ▁and ▁purch ase ▁pr ud ence , ▁for ▁it ▁is ▁more ▁precious ▁than ▁silver . ▁The ▁patient ▁man ▁is ▁better ▁than ▁the ▁val iant : ▁and ▁he ▁that ▁rule th ▁his ▁spirit ▁than ▁he ▁that ▁tak eth ▁cities . ▁And ▁he ▁gave ▁their ▁land ▁for ▁an ▁inherit ance : ▁for ▁his ▁mercy ▁end ure th ▁for ▁ever . ▁And ▁he ▁saw ▁also ▁a ▁certain ▁poor ▁wid ow ▁cast ing ▁in ▁two ▁brass ▁m ites . ▁Then ▁he ▁said ▁to ▁them : ▁N ation ▁shall ▁rise ▁against ▁nation , ▁and ▁kingdom ▁against ▁kingdom . ▁And ▁you ▁shall ▁be ▁bet ray ed ▁by ▁your ▁parents ▁and ▁brethren , ▁and ▁k ins men ▁and ▁friends ; ▁and ▁some ▁of ▁you ▁they ▁will ▁put ▁to ▁death . ▁But ▁wo e ▁to ▁them ▁that ▁are ▁with ▁child , ▁and ▁give ▁su ck ▁in ▁those ▁days ; ▁for ▁there ▁shall ▁be ▁great ▁dist ress ▁in ▁the ▁land , ▁and ▁wrath ▁upon ▁this ▁people . ▁Men ▁w ither ing ▁away ▁for ▁fear , ▁and ▁expect ation ▁of ▁what ▁shall ▁come ▁upon ▁the ▁whole ▁world . ▁For ▁the ▁powers ▁of ▁heaven ▁shall ▁be ▁moved ; ▁For ▁as ▁a ▁sn are ▁shall ▁it ▁come ▁upon ▁all ▁that ▁sit ▁upon ▁the ▁face ▁of ▁the ▁whole ▁earth . ▁And ▁in ▁the ▁day time , ▁he ▁was ▁teaching ▁in ▁the ▁temple ; ▁but ▁at ▁night , ▁going ▁out , ▁he ▁ab ode ▁in ▁the ▁mount ▁that ▁is ▁called ▁Ol ive t . ▁And ▁the ▁woman ▁came ▁to ▁Saul ▁( for ▁he ▁was ▁very ▁much ▁troubled ) ▁and ▁said ▁to ▁him : ▁Behold ▁thy ▁hand m aid ▁hath ▁ob ey ed ▁thy ▁voice , ▁and ▁I ▁have ▁put ▁my ▁life ▁in ▁my ▁hand : ▁and ▁I ▁he ark ened ▁unto ▁the ▁words ▁which ▁thou ▁spok est ▁to ▁me . ▁Un less ▁he ▁first ▁do ▁these ▁things : ▁He ▁shall ▁offer ▁a ▁cal f ▁for ▁sin , ▁and ▁a ▁r am ▁for ▁a ▁hol oca ust . ▁He ▁shall ▁be ▁v ested ▁with ▁a ▁lin en ▁t un ick , ▁he ▁shall ▁cover ▁his ▁n ak ed ness ▁with ▁lin en ▁b ree ches : ▁he ▁shall ▁be ▁g ird ed ▁with ▁a ▁lin en ▁g ird le , ▁and ▁he ▁shall ▁put ▁a ▁lin en ▁m it re ▁upon ▁his ▁head : ▁for ▁these ▁are ▁holy ▁v est ments : ▁all ▁which ▁he ▁shall ▁put ▁on , ▁after ▁he ▁is ▁was hed . ▁After ▁he ▁hath ▁cle ans ed ▁the ▁sanct uary , ▁and ▁the ▁tabernacle , ▁and ▁the ▁altar , ▁then ▁let ▁him ▁offer ▁the ▁living ▁go at : ▁And ▁his ▁sons ▁went , ▁and ▁made ▁a ▁fe ast ▁by ▁houses ▁every ▁one ▁in ▁his ▁day . ▁And ▁sending ▁they ▁called ▁their ▁three ▁sister s ▁to ▁eat ▁and ▁drink ▁with ▁them . ▁H ast ▁not ▁thou ▁made ▁a ▁f ence ▁for ▁him , ▁and ▁his ▁house , ▁and ▁all ▁his ▁sub st ance ▁round ▁about , ▁blessed ▁the ▁works ▁of ▁his ▁hands , ▁and ▁his ▁possess ion ▁hath ▁increased ▁on ▁the ▁earth ▁? ▁And ▁the ▁Sab e ans ▁r ushed ▁in , ▁and ▁took ▁all ▁away , ▁and ▁sle w ▁the ▁servants ▁with ▁the ▁sword , ▁and ▁I ▁alone ▁have ▁esc aped ▁to ▁tell ▁thee . ▁And ▁you ▁shall ▁offer ▁in ▁that ▁place ▁your ▁hol oca ust s ▁and ▁vict ims , ▁the ▁tit hes ▁and ▁first f ruits ▁of ▁your ▁hands ▁and ▁your ▁v ows ▁and ▁g ifts , ▁the ▁first born ▁of ▁your ▁her ds ▁and ▁your ▁sheep . ▁You ▁shall ▁not ▁do ▁there ▁the ▁things ▁we ▁do ▁here ▁this ▁day , ▁every ▁man ▁that ▁which ▁seem eth ▁good ▁to ▁himself . ▁Only ▁the ▁blood ▁thou ▁shalt ▁not ▁eat , ▁but ▁thou ▁shalt ▁p our ▁it ▁out ▁upon ▁the ▁earth ▁as ▁water . ▁And ▁if ▁the ▁place ▁which ▁the ▁Lord ▁thy ▁God ▁shall ▁choose , ▁that ▁his ▁name ▁should ▁be ▁there , ▁be ▁far ▁off , ▁thou ▁shalt ▁kill ▁of ▁thy ▁her ds ▁and ▁of ▁thy ▁do cks , ▁as ▁I ▁have ▁commanded ▁thee , ▁and ▁shalt ▁eat ▁in ▁thy ▁towns , ▁as ▁it ▁ple as eth ▁thee . ▁When ▁the ▁Lord ▁thy ▁God ▁shall ▁have ▁destroyed ▁before ▁thy ▁face ▁the ▁nations , ▁which ▁then ▁shalt ▁go ▁in ▁to ▁possess , ▁and ▁when ▁thou ▁shalt ▁possess ▁them , ▁and ▁dwell ▁in ▁their ▁land : ▁I ▁have ▁put ▁off ▁my ▁gar ment , ▁how ▁shall ▁I ▁put ▁it ▁on ? ▁I ▁have ▁was hed ▁my ▁feet , ▁how ▁shall ▁I ▁def ile ▁them ? ▁His ▁th ro at ▁most ▁sweet , ▁and ▁he ▁is ▁all ▁love ly : ▁such ▁is ▁my ▁be lo ved , ▁and ▁he ▁is ▁my ▁friend , ▁O ▁ye ▁daughters ▁of ▁Jerusalem . ▁In ▁his ▁sight ▁I ▁p our ▁out ▁my ▁prayer , ▁and ▁before ▁him ▁I ▁decl are ▁my ▁trouble : ▁When ▁my ▁spirit ▁failed ▁me , ▁then ▁thou ▁new est ▁my ▁path s . ▁The ▁crown ▁of ▁pride ▁of ▁the ▁dr un k ards ▁of ▁Ephraim ▁shall ▁be ▁tro d den ▁under ▁feet . ▁For ▁command , ▁command ▁again ; ▁command , ▁command ▁again ; ▁expect , ▁expect ▁again ; ▁expect , ▁expect ▁again : ▁a ▁little ▁there , ▁a ▁little ▁there . ▁And ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁shall ▁be ▁to ▁them : ▁Comm and , ▁command ▁again ; ▁command , ▁command ▁again : ▁expect , ▁expect ▁again ; ▁expect , ▁expect ▁again : ▁a ▁little ▁there , ▁a ▁little ▁there : ▁that ▁they ▁may ▁go , ▁and ▁fall ▁back ward , ▁and ▁be ▁broken , ▁and ▁sn ared , ▁and ▁taken . ▁You ▁have ▁fe ast ed ▁upon ▁earth : ▁and ▁in ▁ri ot ous ness ▁you ▁have ▁n our ished ▁your ▁hearts , ▁in ▁the ▁day ▁of ▁sl augh ter . ▁Gr ud ge ▁not , ▁brethren , ▁one ▁against ▁another , ▁that ▁you ▁may ▁not ▁be ▁judged . ▁Behold ▁the ▁judge ▁stand eth ▁before ▁the ▁door . ▁And ▁the ▁prayer ▁of ▁faith ▁shall ▁save ▁the ▁sick ▁man : ▁and ▁the ▁Lord ▁shall ▁raise ▁him ▁up : ▁and ▁if ▁he ▁be ▁in ▁sins , ▁they ▁shall ▁be ▁forg iven ▁him . ▁They ▁said ▁then ▁one ▁to ▁another : ▁Let ▁us ▁not ▁cut ▁it , ▁but ▁let ▁us ▁cast ▁l ots ▁for ▁it , ▁whose ▁it ▁shall ▁be ; ▁that ▁the ▁script ure ▁might ▁be ▁fulf illed , ▁saying : ▁They ▁have ▁part ed ▁my ▁gar ments ▁among ▁them , ▁and ▁upon ▁my ▁v est ure ▁they ▁have ▁cast ▁lot . ▁And ▁the ▁soldiers ▁indeed ▁did ▁these ▁things . ▁And ▁Nic od em us ▁also ▁came , ▁( he ▁who ▁at ▁the ▁first ▁came ▁to ▁Jesus ▁by ▁night , ) ▁bringing ▁a ▁mixture ▁of ▁my r r h ▁and ▁al oes , ▁about ▁an ▁hundred ▁p ound ▁weight . ▁The ▁Lord ▁is ▁my ▁firm ament , ▁my ▁refuge , ▁and ▁my ▁del ive re r . ▁My ▁God ▁is ▁my ▁hel per , ▁and ▁in ▁him ▁will ▁I ▁put ▁my ▁trust . ▁My ▁protect or ▁and ▁the ▁horn ▁of ▁my ▁salvation , ▁and ▁my ▁support . ▁P ra ising ▁I ▁will ▁call ▁upon ▁the ▁Lord : ▁and ▁I ▁shall ▁be ▁saved ▁from ▁my ▁enemies . ▁In ▁my ▁aff lic tion ▁I ▁called ▁upon ▁the ▁Lord , ▁and ▁I ▁cried ▁to ▁my ▁God : ▁And ▁he ▁heard ▁my ▁voice ▁from ▁his ▁holy ▁temple : ▁and ▁my ▁cry ▁before ▁him ▁came ▁into ▁his ▁ears . ▁And ▁he ▁sent ▁forth ▁his ▁arrows , ▁and ▁he ▁scat tered ▁them : ▁he ▁multip lied ▁light nings , ▁and ▁troubled ▁them . ▁He ▁sent ▁from ▁on ▁high , ▁and ▁took ▁me : ▁and ▁received ▁me ▁out ▁of ▁many ▁waters . ▁For ▁thou ▁wilt ▁save ▁the ▁hum ble ▁people ; ▁but ▁wilt ▁bring ▁down ▁the ▁eyes ▁of ▁the ▁proud . ▁God ▁who ▁hath ▁g irt ▁me ▁with ▁strength ; ▁and ▁made ▁my ▁way ▁bl am el ess . ▁Who ▁hath ▁made ▁my ▁feet ▁like ▁the ▁feet ▁of ▁h art s : ▁and ▁who ▁sett eth ▁me ▁upon ▁high ▁places . ▁And ▁I ▁shall ▁beat ▁them ▁as ▁small ▁as ▁the ▁dust ▁before ▁the ▁wind ; ▁I ▁shall ▁bring ▁them ▁to ▁n ought , ▁like ▁the ▁d irt ▁in ▁the ▁streets . ▁O ▁God , ▁who ▁av eng est ▁me , ▁and ▁sub du est ▁the ▁people ▁under ▁me , ▁my ▁del ive re r ▁from ▁my ▁enemies . ▁And ▁it ▁came ▁to ▁pass ▁in ▁the ▁day ▁that ▁Moses ▁had ▁finished ▁the ▁tabernacle , ▁and ▁set ▁it ▁up , ▁and ▁had ▁an ointed ▁and ▁sanct ified ▁it ▁with ▁all ▁its ▁vessels , ▁the ▁altar ▁like wise ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁vessels ▁thereof , ▁But ▁to ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Ca ath ▁he ▁gave ▁no ▁w ag ons ▁or ▁oxen : ▁because ▁they ▁serve ▁in ▁the ▁sanct uary ▁and ▁carry ▁their ▁bur d ens ▁upon ▁their ▁own ▁should ers . ▁The ▁third ▁day ▁the ▁prince ▁of ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Z ab ul on , ▁Eli ab ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁H el on , ▁The ▁fourth ▁day ▁the ▁prince ▁of ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Rub en , ▁El is ur ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁S ede ur , ▁An ▁ox ▁of ▁the ▁herd , ▁and ▁a ▁r am , ▁and ▁a ▁lamb ▁of ▁a ▁year ▁old ▁for ▁a ▁hol oca ust : ▁The ▁e igh th ▁day ▁the ▁prince ▁of ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Man ass es , ▁G am ali el ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Ph ad ass ur , ▁And ▁a ▁bu ck ▁go at ▁for ▁sin : ▁And ▁for ▁sacrif ices ▁of ▁peace ▁offerings , ▁two ▁oxen , ▁five ▁r

▁the ▁earth . ▁For ▁I ▁hop ed ▁that ▁greater ▁age ▁would ▁speak , ▁and ▁that ▁a ▁multitude ▁of ▁years ▁would ▁teach ▁wisdom . ▁B E HO LD ▁my ▁servant , ▁I ▁will ▁up hold ▁him : ▁my ▁elect , ▁my ▁soul ▁delight eth ▁in ▁him : ▁I ▁have ▁given ▁my ▁spirit ▁upon ▁him , ▁he ▁shall ▁bring ▁forth ▁judgment ▁to ▁the ▁Gent iles . ▁Thus ▁saith ▁the ▁Lord ▁God ▁that ▁created ▁the ▁heavens , ▁and ▁stretched ▁them ▁out : ▁that ▁established ▁the ▁earth , ▁and ▁the ▁things ▁that ▁sp ring ▁out ▁of ▁it : ▁that ▁give th ▁breath ▁to ▁the ▁people ▁upon ▁it , ▁and ▁spirit ▁to ▁them ▁that ▁t read ▁there on . ▁That ▁thou ▁might est ▁open ▁the ▁eyes ▁of ▁the ▁blind , ▁and ▁bring ▁forth ▁the ▁prison er ▁out ▁of ▁prison , ▁and ▁them ▁that ▁sit ▁in ▁dark ness ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁prison ▁house . ▁They ▁shall ▁give ▁glory ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁and ▁shall ▁decl are ▁his ▁praise ▁in ▁the ▁island s . ▁The ▁Lord ▁shall ▁go ▁forth ▁as ▁a ▁mighty ▁man , ▁as ▁a ▁man ▁of ▁war ▁shall ▁he ▁st ir ▁up ▁ ze al : ▁he ▁shall ▁sh out ▁and ▁cry : ▁he ▁shall ▁pre v ail ▁against ▁his ▁enemies . ▁For ▁I ▁say ▁to ▁you , ▁that ▁from ▁this ▁time ▁I ▁will ▁not ▁eat ▁it , ▁till ▁it ▁be ▁fulf illed ▁in ▁the ▁kingdom ▁of ▁God . ▁For ▁I ▁say ▁to ▁you , ▁that ▁I ▁will ▁not ▁drink ▁of ▁the ▁fruit ▁of ▁the ▁vine , ▁till ▁the ▁kingdom ▁of ▁God ▁come . ▁In ▁like ▁manner ▁the ▁ch al ice ▁also , ▁after ▁he ▁had ▁supp ed , ▁saying : ▁This ▁is ▁the ▁ch al ice , ▁the ▁new ▁test ament ▁in ▁my ▁blood , ▁which ▁shall ▁be ▁s hed ▁for ▁you . ▁And ▁the ▁Son ▁of ▁man ▁indeed ▁go eth , ▁according ▁to ▁that ▁which ▁is ▁determined : ▁but ▁yet , ▁wo e ▁to ▁that ▁man ▁by ▁whom ▁he ▁shall ▁be ▁bet ray ed . ▁And ▁you ▁are ▁they ▁who ▁have ▁continued ▁with ▁me ▁in ▁my ▁tem pt ations : ▁And ▁his ▁swe at ▁became ▁as ▁dro ps ▁of ▁blood , ▁t ric k ling ▁down ▁upon ▁the ▁ground . ▁And ▁he ▁saith ▁to ▁them : ▁If ▁I ▁shall ▁tell ▁you , ▁you ▁will ▁not ▁believe ▁me . ▁But ▁here after ▁the ▁Son ▁of ▁man ▁shall ▁be ▁sit ting ▁on ▁the ▁right ▁hand ▁of ▁the ▁power ▁of ▁God . ▁I ▁destroyed ▁some ▁of ▁you , ▁as ▁God ▁destroyed ▁S od om ▁and ▁G om or r ha , ▁and ▁you ▁were ▁as ▁a ▁fire bra nd ▁pl uc ked ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁burning : ▁yet ▁you ▁returned ▁not ▁to ▁me , ▁saith ▁the ▁Lord . ▁And ▁the ▁chief ▁priests ▁and ▁the ▁sc rib es ▁stood ▁by , ▁ear n est ly ▁acc using ▁him . ▁And ▁Her od ▁and ▁P il ate ▁were ▁made ▁friends , ▁that ▁same ▁day ; ▁for ▁before ▁they ▁were ▁enemies ▁one ▁to ▁another . ▁But ▁the ▁whole ▁multitude ▁together ▁cried ▁out , ▁saying : ▁A way ▁with ▁this ▁man , ▁and ▁release ▁unto ▁us ▁Bar ab b as : ▁But ▁they ▁cried ▁again , ▁saying : ▁C ru c ify ▁him , ▁cru c ify ▁him . ▁And ▁he ▁released ▁unto ▁them ▁him ▁who ▁for ▁murder ▁and ▁sed ition , ▁had ▁been ▁cast ▁into ▁prison , ▁whom ▁they ▁had ▁desired ; ▁but ▁Jesus ▁he ▁delivered ▁up ▁to ▁their ▁will . ▁And ▁there ▁was ▁also ▁a ▁sup ers cript ion ▁written ▁over ▁him ▁in ▁letters ▁of ▁Greek , ▁and ▁L atin , ▁and ▁Heb rew : ▁TH IS ▁I S ▁THE ▁K ING ▁OF ▁THE ▁J E W S . ▁And ▁we ▁indeed ▁just ly , ▁for ▁we ▁receive ▁the ▁due ▁re ward ▁of ▁our ▁de eds ; ▁but ▁this ▁man ▁hath ▁done ▁no ▁evil . ▁For ▁he ▁that ▁is ▁entered ▁into ▁his ▁rest , ▁the ▁same ▁also ▁hath ▁rest ed ▁from ▁his ▁works , ▁as ▁God ▁did ▁from ▁his . ▁After ▁that ▁he ▁had ▁sl ain ▁Se h on ▁king ▁of ▁the ▁Am or r h ites , ▁who ▁d w elt ▁in ▁H ese bon : ▁and ▁O g ▁king ▁of ▁B asan ▁who ▁ab ode ▁in ▁A st ar oth , ▁and ▁in ▁Ed ra i , ▁And ▁because ▁the ▁saying ▁ple ased ▁me , ▁I ▁sent ▁of ▁you ▁twelve ▁men , ▁one ▁of ▁every ▁tribe : ▁And ▁in ▁the ▁wild ern ess ▁( as ▁thou ▁hast ▁seen ) ▁the ▁Lord ▁thy ▁God ▁hath ▁carried ▁thee , ▁as ▁a ▁man ▁is ▁won t ▁to ▁carry ▁his ▁little ▁son , ▁all ▁the ▁way ▁that ▁you ▁have ▁come , ▁until ▁you ▁came ▁to ▁this ▁place . ▁Who ▁went ▁before ▁you ▁in ▁the ▁way , ▁and ▁marked ▁out ▁the ▁place , ▁where in ▁you ▁should ▁p itch ▁your ▁tents , ▁in ▁the ▁night ▁shew ing ▁you ▁the ▁way ▁by ▁fire , ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁day ▁by ▁the ▁pill ar ▁of ▁a ▁cloud . ▁And ▁when ▁the ▁Lord ▁had ▁heard ▁the ▁voice ▁of ▁your ▁words , ▁he ▁was ▁angry ▁and ▁sw ore , ▁and ▁said : ▁Your ▁children , ▁of ▁whom ▁you ▁said ▁that ▁they ▁should ▁be ▁led ▁away ▁capt ives , ▁and ▁your ▁sons ▁who ▁know ▁not ▁this ▁day ▁the ▁difference ▁of ▁good ▁and ▁evil , ▁they ▁shall ▁go ▁in : ▁and ▁to ▁them ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁the ▁land , ▁and ▁they ▁shall ▁possess ▁it . ▁For ▁the ▁s ine ▁of ▁the ▁land ▁many ▁are ▁the ▁princes ▁thereof : ▁and ▁for ▁the ▁wisdom ▁of ▁a ▁man , ▁and ▁the ▁knowledge ▁of ▁those ▁things ▁that ▁are ▁said , ▁the ▁life ▁of ▁the ▁prince ▁shall ▁be ▁pro l ong ed . ▁For ▁you ▁have ▁not ▁yet ▁res isted ▁unto ▁blood , ▁stri ving ▁against ▁sin : ▁But ▁if ▁you ▁be ▁without ▁ch ast ise ment , ▁where of ▁all ▁are ▁made ▁part akers , ▁then ▁are ▁you ▁b ast ards , ▁and ▁not ▁sons . ▁Follow ▁peace ▁with ▁all ▁men , ▁and ▁hol iness : ▁without ▁which ▁no ▁man ▁shall ▁see ▁God . ▁L est ▁there ▁be ▁any ▁for nic ator , ▁or ▁prof ane ▁person , ▁as ▁Esau ; ▁who ▁for ▁one ▁mess , ▁sold ▁his ▁first ▁birth right . ▁And ▁now ▁behold , ▁the ▁hand ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁is ▁upon ▁thee , ▁and ▁thou ▁shalt ▁be ▁blind , ▁not ▁seeing ▁the ▁sun ▁for ▁a ▁time . ▁And ▁immediately ▁there ▁fell ▁a ▁mist ▁and ▁dark ness ▁upon ▁him , ▁and ▁going ▁about , ▁he ▁sought ▁some ▁one ▁to ▁lead ▁him ▁by ▁the ▁hand . ▁Then ▁the ▁pro c ons ul , ▁when ▁he ▁had ▁seen ▁what ▁was ▁done , ▁believed , ▁ad mir ing ▁at ▁the ▁do ct rine ▁of ▁the ▁Lord . ▁Now ▁when ▁Paul ▁and ▁they ▁that ▁were ▁with ▁him ▁had ▁sa iled ▁from ▁P aph os , ▁they ▁came ▁to ▁Per ge ▁in ▁P amp h yl ia . ▁And ▁John ▁depart ing ▁from ▁them , ▁returned ▁to ▁Jerusalem . ▁Be w are , ▁therefore , ▁lest ▁that ▁come ▁upon ▁you ▁which ▁is ▁spoken ▁in ▁the ▁prophets : ▁For ▁he ▁looked ▁for ▁a ▁city ▁that ▁hath ▁found ations ; ▁whose ▁build er ▁and ▁m aker ▁is ▁God . ▁( T o ▁whom ▁it ▁was ▁said : ▁In ▁Isa ac ▁shall ▁thy ▁seed ▁be ▁called .) ▁By ▁faith ▁Moses , ▁when ▁he ▁was ▁born , ▁was ▁h id ▁three ▁months ▁by ▁his ▁parents ; ▁because ▁they ▁saw ▁he ▁was ▁a ▁come ly ▁bab e , ▁and ▁they ▁fe ared ▁not ▁the ▁king ' s ▁ed ict . ▁And ▁what ▁shall ▁I ▁yet ▁say ? ▁For ▁the ▁time ▁would ▁fail ▁me ▁to ▁tell ▁of ▁G ede on , ▁Bar ac , ▁Sam son , ▁J ep h the , ▁David , ▁Sam uel , ▁and ▁the ▁prophets : ▁They ▁were ▁st oned , ▁they ▁were ▁cut ▁as under , ▁they ▁were ▁tem pt ed , ▁they ▁were ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁by ▁the ▁sword , ▁they ▁w and ered ▁about ▁in ▁sheep s kins , ▁in ▁go ats kins , ▁being ▁in ▁want , ▁dist ressed , ▁aff lic ted : ▁C ities ▁to ▁dwell ▁in , ▁and ▁their ▁sub ur bs ▁round ▁about : ▁that ▁they ▁may ▁ab ide ▁in ▁the ▁towns , ▁and ▁the ▁sub ur bs ▁may ▁be ▁for ▁their ▁cattle ▁and ▁beasts : ▁If ▁any ▁man ▁strike ▁with ▁iron , ▁and ▁he ▁die ▁that ▁was ▁struck ▁: ▁he ▁shall ▁be ▁guilty ▁of ▁murder , ▁and ▁he ▁himself ▁shall ▁die . ▁And ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁came ▁to ▁me , ▁saying : ▁And ▁thou , ▁son ▁of ▁man , ▁m ourn ▁with ▁the ▁bre aking ▁of ▁thy ▁lo ins , ▁and ▁with ▁bit tern ess ▁s igh ▁before ▁them . ▁Because ▁it ▁is ▁tried : ▁and ▁that ▁when ▁it ▁shall ▁over th row ▁the ▁s cept re , ▁and ▁it ▁shall ▁not ▁be , ▁saith ▁the ▁Lord ▁God . ▁Thou ▁therefore , ▁O ▁son ▁of ▁man , ▁prophes y , ▁and ▁strike ▁thy ▁hands ▁together , ▁and ▁let ▁the ▁sword ▁be ▁dou bled , ▁and ▁let ▁the ▁sword ▁of ▁the ▁sl ain ▁be ▁trip led : ▁this ▁is ▁the ▁sword ▁of ▁a ▁great ▁sl augh ter , ▁that ▁m ak eth ▁them ▁stand ▁amaz ed , ▁And ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁came ▁to ▁me , ▁saying : ▁Thou ▁shalt ▁make ▁a ▁way ▁that ▁the ▁sword ▁may ▁come ▁to ▁R ab bath ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Am mon , ▁and ▁to ▁Juda ▁unto ▁Jerusalem ▁the ▁strong ▁city . ▁Therefore ▁thus ▁saith ▁the ▁Lord ▁God : ▁Because ▁you ▁have ▁remembered ▁your ▁iniquity , ▁and ▁have ▁discovered ▁your ▁pre v aric ations , ▁and ▁your ▁sins ▁have ▁appeared ▁in ▁all ▁your ▁devices : ▁because , ▁I ▁say , ▁you ▁have ▁remembered , ▁you ▁shall ▁be ▁taken ▁with ▁the ▁hand . ▁But ▁thou ▁prof ane ▁wicked ▁prince ▁of ▁Israel , ▁whose ▁day ▁is ▁come ▁that ▁hath ▁been ▁appointed ▁in ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁iniquity : ▁Thou ▁shalt ▁be ▁fuel ▁for ▁the ▁fire , ▁thy ▁blood ▁shall ▁be ▁in ▁the ▁midst ▁of ▁the ▁land , ▁thou ▁shalt ▁be ▁forgotten : ▁for ▁I ▁the ▁Lord ▁have ▁spoken ▁it . ▁17 ▁T y pe w rit ers ▁( M an ual ) ▁03 ▁- ▁III . ▁Review ing ▁and ▁maintaining ▁both ▁substant ive ▁and ▁proced ural ▁law ▁with ▁a ▁view ▁to ▁its ▁systematic ▁development

▁current ▁k al p a ▁and ▁the ▁pro gen itor ▁of ▁human ity , ▁is ▁dated ▁by ▁some ▁as ▁far ▁back ▁7 3 50 ▁BCE . ▁The ▁K uru ks he tra ▁War , ▁the ▁back ground - sc ene ▁of ▁the ▁Bh ag av ad ▁Gita , ▁which ▁may ▁rel ate ▁historical ▁events ▁taking ▁place ▁1000 ▁BCE ▁at ▁the ▁heart land ▁of ▁ Ā ry ā v art a , ▁is ▁dated ▁in ▁this ▁chronology ▁at ▁c .31 00 ▁BCE . ▁The ▁opening ▁pages ▁cont ain ▁a ▁diagram ▁of ▁P asc al ' s ▁triangle . ▁The ▁cal end ar ▁may ▁have ▁been ▁influenced ▁so le ly ▁by ▁the ▁work ▁of ▁S ong ▁dynasty ▁ast ron om er ▁S hen ▁K u o ▁or ▁possibly ▁by ▁the ▁work ▁of ▁Arab ▁ast ron om ers . ▁The ▁M ong ols ▁character ized ▁o t ach i ▁doctors ▁by ▁their ▁use ▁of ▁her bal ▁rem ed ies , ▁which ▁was ▁distinguished ▁from ▁the ▁spirit ual ▁c ures ▁of ▁M ong ol ▁sh am an ism . ▁K ub l ai ▁created ▁the ▁Imp erial ▁Ac ad em y ▁of ▁Med ic ine ▁to ▁man age ▁medical ▁treat ises ▁and ▁the ▁education ▁of ▁new ▁doctors . ▁They ▁published ▁a ▁d iverse ▁range ▁of ▁works , ▁and ▁pr inted ▁educational , ▁liter ary , ▁medical , ▁religious , ▁and ▁historical ▁texts . ▁In ▁13 1 2, ▁1,000 ▁cop ies ▁of ▁a ▁Buddhist ▁text ▁comment ed ▁by ▁C os gi ▁O ds ir ▁were ▁pr inted ▁just ▁within ▁Be ij ing . ▁This ▁seems ▁to ▁have ▁beg un ▁in ▁the ▁early ▁decades ▁of ▁the ▁14 th ▁century , ▁and ▁by ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁dynasty ▁was ▁mat ure ▁and ▁well - est ab lished . ▁However , ▁unl ike ▁the ▁western ▁k han ates , ▁the ▁Y u an ▁dynasty ▁never ▁converted ▁to ▁Islam . ▁The ▁top - level ▁department ▁and ▁government ▁ag ency ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁Bureau ▁of ▁Buddhist ▁and ▁Tib etan ▁Affairs w as ▁set ▁up ▁in ▁Kh an b ali q ▁to ▁superv ise ▁Buddhist ▁monks ▁throughout ▁the ▁empire . ▁He ▁and ▁his ▁success ors ▁kept ▁a ▁S akya ▁Imp erial ▁Pre cept or ▁at ▁court . ▁At ▁the ▁same ▁time ▁the ▁M ong ols ▁imported ▁Central ▁Asian ▁Muslims ▁to ▁serve ▁as ▁administr ators ▁in ▁China , ▁the ▁M ong ols ▁also ▁sent ▁H ans ▁and ▁Kh it ans ▁from ▁China ▁to ▁serve ▁as ▁administr ators ▁over ▁the ▁Muslim ▁population ▁in ▁B uk hara ▁in ▁Central ▁Asia , ▁using ▁foreign ers ▁to ▁cur t ail ▁the ▁power ▁of ▁the ▁local ▁peoples ▁of ▁both ▁lands . ▁Muslims ▁had ▁to ▁sl augh ter ▁sheep ▁in ▁secret . ▁Jews ▁were ▁also ▁affected ▁and ▁for b idd en ▁by ▁the ▁M ong ols ▁to ▁eat ▁K os her . ▁Among ▁all ▁the ▁al i en ▁peoples ▁only ▁the ▁H u i - hu i ▁say ▁" we ▁do ▁not ▁eat ▁M ong ol ▁food ". ▁But ▁during ▁K ub l ai ' s ▁reign ▁a ▁h ier arch y ▁of ▁rel i ability ▁was ▁introduced ▁in ▁China . ▁The ▁M ong ols ▁were ▁called ▁" G a o - c hen " ▁by ▁the ▁conquered ▁Southern ▁S ong ▁population . ▁Pol it ically , ▁the ▁system ▁of ▁government ▁created ▁by ▁K ub l ai ▁Kh an ▁was ▁the ▁product ▁of ▁a ▁comp rom ise ▁between ▁M ong ol ian ▁pat rim on ial ▁feudal ism ▁and ▁the ▁traditional ▁Chinese ▁aut ocratic - b ureau c r atic ▁system . ▁In ▁general ▁there ▁were ▁very ▁few ▁North ▁Chinese ▁or ▁Sou ther ners ▁reaching ▁the ▁highest - p ost ▁in ▁the ▁government ▁compared ▁with ▁the ▁possibility ▁that ▁Pers ians ▁did ▁so ▁in ▁the ▁I lk han ate . ▁Despite ▁the ▁high ▁position ▁given ▁to ▁Muslims , ▁some ▁policies ▁of ▁the ▁Y u an ▁emp er ors ▁severe ly ▁disc rim inated ▁against ▁them , ▁rest ric ting ▁H al al ▁sl augh ter ▁and ▁other ▁Islamic ▁practices ▁like ▁circum c ision , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁K os her ▁but cher ing ▁for ▁Jews , ▁for cing ▁them ▁to ▁eat ▁food ▁the ▁M ong ol ▁way . ▁The ▁Muslim ▁merchants ▁in ▁Qu anz h ou ▁who ▁engaged ▁in ▁mar it ime ▁trade ▁en ric hed ▁their ▁families ▁which ▁en comp ass ed ▁their ▁political ▁and ▁trade ▁activities ▁as ▁families . ▁Bel ow ▁the ▁level ▁of ▁provinces , ▁the ▁largest ▁political ▁division ▁was ▁the ▁circ u it , ▁followed ▁by ▁l ù , ▁f ǔ , ▁and ▁z h ō u . ▁T ai ▁later ▁led ▁the ▁cl an ▁from ▁B in ▁to ▁Z h ou , ▁an ▁area ▁in ▁the ▁We i ▁River ▁valley ▁of ▁modern - day ▁Q ish an ▁Count y . ▁As ▁a ▁v ass al ▁of ▁the ▁Sh ang ▁kings ▁W u ▁Y i ▁and ▁W en ▁D ing , ▁J il i ▁went ▁to ▁conqu er ▁several ▁X ir ong ▁tribes ▁before ▁being ▁tre ac her ously ▁killed ▁by ▁Sh ang ▁forces . ▁The ▁Z h ou ▁em ulated ▁ext ens ively ▁Sh ang ▁cultural ▁practices , ▁perhaps ▁to ▁leg it im ize ▁their ▁own ▁rule , ▁and ▁became ▁the ▁success ors ▁to ▁Sh ang ▁culture . ▁Even ▁though ▁they ▁gar ne red ▁the ▁support ▁of ▁independent - m ind ed ▁no bles , ▁Sh ang ▁part is ans , ▁and ▁several ▁D ong y i ▁tribes , ▁the ▁D u ke ▁of ▁Z h ou ▁qu ell ed ▁the ▁rebellion , ▁and ▁further ▁expanded ▁the ▁Z h ou ▁Kingdom ▁into ▁the ▁east . ▁To ▁maintain ▁Z h ou ▁authority ▁over ▁its ▁greatly ▁expanded ▁territ ory ▁and ▁prevent ▁other ▁revol ts , ▁he ▁set ▁up ▁the ▁f eng j ian ▁system . ▁Per ip her al ▁territories ▁developed ▁local ▁power ▁and ▁pre st ige ▁on ▁par ▁with ▁that ▁of ▁the ▁Z h ou . ▁The ▁capital ▁was ▁moved ▁east ward ▁to ▁W ang c he ng , ▁mark ing ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁" W estern ▁Z h ou " ▁and ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁the ▁" E astern ▁Z h ou " ▁dynasty . ▁Under ▁this ▁system , ▁it ▁was ▁the ▁pre rog ative ▁of ▁spirit ual ▁authority ▁to ▁withdraw ▁support ▁from ▁any ▁way ward ▁ruler ▁and ▁to ▁find ▁another , ▁more ▁worth y ▁one . ▁There ▁were ▁many ▁similar ities ▁between ▁the ▁dec ent ral ized ▁systems . ▁When ▁the ▁dynasty ▁was ▁established , ▁the ▁conquered ▁land ▁was ▁divided ▁into ▁he red itary ▁f ief s ▁that ▁eventually ▁became ▁powerful ▁in ▁their ▁own ▁right . ▁In ▁discussions ▁that ▁dem arc ate ▁between ▁tr un k ▁and ▁coll ater al ▁lines , ▁the ▁former ▁is ▁called ▁a ▁z ong ▁and ▁the ▁latter ▁a ▁z u , ▁whereas ▁the ▁whole ▁line age ▁is ▁d ubb ed ▁the ▁sh i . ▁These ▁he red itary ▁classes ▁were ▁similar ▁to ▁Western ▁kn ights ▁in ▁status ▁and ▁bre eding , ▁but ▁unl ike ▁the ▁European ▁equivalent , ▁they ▁were ▁expected ▁to ▁be ▁something ▁of ▁a ▁schol ar ▁instead ▁of ▁a ▁war ri or . ▁The ▁wars ▁of ▁the ▁War ring ▁States ▁were ▁finally ▁ended ▁by ▁the ▁most ▁legal ist ▁state ▁of ▁all , ▁Q in . ▁China ' s ▁first ▁projects ▁of ▁hy d ra ul ic ▁engine ering ▁were ▁initiated ▁during ▁the ▁Z h ou ▁dynasty , ▁ult im ately ▁as ▁a ▁means ▁to ▁aid ▁agricultural ▁irrigation . ▁Early ▁Z h ou ▁kings ▁were ▁true ▁command ers - in - ch ief . ▁They ▁were ▁in ▁constant ▁wars ▁with ▁bar b ari ans ▁on ▁beh alf ▁of ▁the ▁f ief s ▁called ▁gu o , ▁which ▁at ▁that ▁time ▁meant ▁" state let " ▁or ▁" pr incip ality ". ▁The ▁Z h ou ▁army ▁also ▁included ▁" B ar bar ian " ▁troops ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁D i ▁people . ▁While ▁the ▁system ▁was ▁initially ▁a ▁respect ed ▁body ▁of ▁conc re te ▁reg ulations , ▁the ▁fra gment ation ▁of ▁the ▁Western ▁Z h ou ▁period ▁led ▁the ▁ritual ▁to ▁dri ft ▁towards ▁mor al ization ▁and ▁formal ization ▁in ▁regard ▁to : ▁The ▁five ▁orders ▁of ▁Chinese ▁no b ility . ▁The ▁remaining ▁J i ▁family ▁ruled ▁Y an ▁and ▁We i ▁until ▁20 9 ▁BC . ▁But ▁at ▁the ▁age ▁of ▁2 9, ▁after ▁experi en cing ▁the ▁Four ▁S ights , ▁S idd har tha ▁left ▁his ▁home ▁in ▁search ▁of ▁spirit ual ▁ans wers ▁to ▁the ▁un s at isf act ory ▁nature ▁of ▁life , ▁leaving ▁behind ▁his ▁wife ▁Y as od har ā ▁and ▁infant ▁son ▁R ā h ula . ▁" A ▁big , ▁sp ong y ▁one , ▁with ▁p ink ▁ic ing , ▁and ▁a ▁rose ▁on ▁top ." ▁Five ▁years ▁later , ▁on ▁August ▁15, ▁194 7, ▁the ▁non - vi ol ent ▁war ▁got ▁the ▁results ▁Gand h ij i ▁wanted - ▁the ▁British ▁left ▁and ▁India ▁became ▁independent . ▁It ▁had ▁two ▁eyes , ▁four ▁feet , ▁and ▁a ▁l - o - n - g ▁tail . ▁The ▁w aves ▁of ▁Ear th ’ s ▁o ce ans ▁th und ered . ▁M ars ’ ▁face ▁turned ▁really ▁red . ▁Ur an us ▁sp un ▁l az ily ▁on ▁his ▁side , ▁y aw ning ▁and ▁ready ▁for ▁bed . ▁He ▁said , ▁“ I ▁haven ’ t ▁seen ▁him . ▁I ▁don ’ t ▁know . ▁Where ▁did ▁Pl ut o ▁with ▁his ▁five ▁mo ons ▁go ?” ▁They ▁were n ’ t ▁sure ▁what ▁to ▁tell ▁the ▁sun . ▁“ H ow ever ▁it ▁is ▁certainly ▁exc iting ▁to ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁fly ▁like ▁you ,” ▁said ▁P ion . ▁“ H a , ▁ha , ▁ha ! ▁That ’ s ▁also ▁impossible ▁P ion !” ▁excl aimed ▁the ▁e g re ts . ▁Where ▁was ▁C ro c od ile ? ▁“ P er haps ▁you ▁can ▁tell ▁me ▁what ▁C ro c od ile ▁e ats ▁for ▁d in ner ?” ▁“ L ower , ▁lower ...” ▁He ▁took ▁out ▁hand ful s ▁of ▁the ▁heavy ▁comb , ▁dri pping ▁with ▁rich ▁h oney ▁and ▁full ▁of ▁fat , ▁white ▁g ru bs . ▁Why ▁should ▁I ▁share ▁any ▁of ▁this ▁love ly ▁h oney ▁with ▁you ? ▁The ▁small ▁bird ▁loved ▁ro lling ▁around ▁on ▁the ▁co ol ▁ground . ▁Once ▁there ▁was ▁a ▁big ▁p ine app le . ▁So , ▁the ▁ban ana ▁tree ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁big ▁p ine app le , ▁" He y ▁you , ▁you ▁talk ▁all ▁the ▁time ▁about ▁how ▁big ▁you ▁are . ▁All ▁the ▁other ▁p ine app les ▁are ▁t ired ▁of ▁your ▁talk . ▁Can ▁you ▁be ▁quiet ▁now ?" ▁" I ▁am ▁way ▁too ▁big ▁for ▁anyone ▁to ▁eat ▁me ." ▁He ▁cre pt ▁to ▁the ▁place ▁where ▁the ▁sing ing ▁was ▁coming ▁from . ▁He ▁was ▁very ▁fr ight ened ▁because ▁he ▁knew ▁that ▁the ▁man ▁had ▁heard ▁his ▁sing ing . ▁B ul b ul i ▁loved ▁to ▁hear ▁T ot aram ’ s ▁tal es . ▁She ▁would ▁tell ▁everyone ▁about ▁this ▁my ster ious ▁place . ▁B ul b ul i ▁could ▁hard ly ▁pay ▁attention ▁to ▁what ▁was ▁being ▁taught . ▁What ▁is ▁the ▁matter ? ▁" Y our ▁small ▁feet ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁carry ▁you ▁there .” ▁T ot aram ▁suggested ▁that ▁they ▁stop ▁on ▁the ▁way , ▁to ▁get ▁K oyal , ▁his ▁friend ▁to ▁tell ▁her ▁mother ▁first ▁thing ▁in ▁the ▁morning . ▁" H ur ry ▁now ." ▁I ▁have ▁work ▁for ▁you . ▁Band ar oo ▁obl ig ed . ▁A ▁visit ▁to ▁Sen sel ess ▁P oint ▁for ▁people ▁around ▁her ▁village ▁was ▁like ▁a ▁pil gr im age . ▁B ul b ul i ▁rest ed ▁under ▁a ▁tree ▁while ▁T ot aram ▁found ▁a ▁comfort able ▁spot ▁on ▁a ▁branch ▁above . ▁B ul b ul i ▁was ▁aw ak ened ▁by ▁the ▁ch at tering ▁of ▁what ▁seemed ▁like ▁a ▁million ▁birds ▁in ▁the ▁j ung le . ▁" You ▁have ▁all ▁day ▁to ▁take ▁your ▁wh iff s ." ▁T ot aram ▁fle w ▁down ▁to ▁per ch ▁on ▁her ▁should er . ▁The ▁water ▁seemed ▁to ▁be ▁ra cing ▁with ▁itself ▁to ▁get ▁somewhere . ▁After ▁several ▁hours , ▁B ul b ul i ▁sat ▁down . ▁B ul b ul i ▁was ▁rel ieved . ▁At ▁the ▁third ▁sun r ise , ▁T ot aram ▁did ▁not ▁have ▁to ▁wake ▁B ul b ul i . ▁As ▁she ▁was ▁getting ▁cl oser ▁to ▁her ▁dest ination , ▁her ▁heart ▁began ▁to ▁fill ▁with ▁thr ill ▁and ▁exc ite ment ▁but , ▁with ▁a ▁t ing e ▁of ▁app rehens ion . ▁B ul b ul i ▁th ank ed ▁H athi ▁for ▁carrying ▁her ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁he ▁did . ▁B ul b ul i ▁could ▁b are ly ▁believe ▁what ▁was ▁going ▁on . ▁" H um ans ▁hard ly ▁ever ▁come ▁here ," ▁said ▁T ot aram . ▁But ▁in ▁the ▁de af ening ▁d in ▁of ▁the ▁j ung les , ▁his ▁voice ▁went ▁un he ard . ▁In ▁the ▁distance , ▁just ▁in ▁front ▁of ▁her , ▁she ▁could ▁see ▁green ▁bed s . ▁Al most ▁in stant ly , ▁the ▁no ise ▁of ▁the ▁j ung les ▁began ▁to ▁die ▁down , ▁as ▁if ▁the ▁j ung les ▁had ▁spot ted ▁her . ▁It ▁was ▁an ▁att ract ive ▁and ▁pure ▁smell . ▁B ul b ul i ▁was ▁st un ned ▁to ▁hear ▁the ▁j ung les ▁speak ▁to ▁her . ▁“ M ay be ▁if ▁these ▁two ▁were ▁not ▁around , ▁hum ans ▁might ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁apprec iate ▁our ▁a rom a .” ▁It ▁really ▁is ▁not ▁our ▁fault . ▁A ▁T uls i ▁plant ▁spoke . ▁B ul b ul i ▁thought ▁for ▁a ▁moment . ▁They ▁even ▁come ▁here ▁to ▁Sen sel ess ▁P oint ▁to ▁rej uven ate ▁themselves . ▁This ▁time ▁the ▁no ise ▁level ▁rose ▁not ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁fighting , ▁but ▁with ▁laugh ter . ▁She ▁real ised ▁that ▁the ▁j ung les ▁had ▁each ▁been ▁able ▁to ▁feel ▁pride ▁in ▁their ▁un iqu eness . ▁B ul b ul i ▁asked ▁T ot aram ▁to ▁collect ▁b un ches ▁of ▁Te a , ▁T uls i ▁leaves ▁along ▁with ▁El a ich i ▁seed s . ▁The ▁run ner ▁took ▁the ▁letter ▁and ▁quickly ▁ran ▁as ▁fast ▁as ▁he ▁could . ▁The ▁bra ve ▁k night ▁mount ed ▁his ▁horse ▁and ▁off ▁he ▁went ▁to ▁deliver ▁the ▁royal ▁letter . ▁This ▁time , ▁Adv is er ▁R ay an ▁found ▁a ▁cle ver ▁hom ing ▁p ige on . ▁He ▁conv in ced ▁the ▁king ▁that ▁it ▁would ▁be ▁much ▁better ▁to ▁send ▁the ▁p ige on ▁with ▁such ▁an ▁important ▁message . ▁King ▁K o z oman ▁decided ▁that ▁only ▁he ▁himself ▁could ▁deliver ▁this ▁important ▁message ▁to ▁King ▁N ed . ▁Day ▁after ▁day , ▁night ▁after ▁night , ▁the ▁king ▁and ▁his ▁army ▁bra ve ly ▁repe lled ▁wild ▁animals ▁and ▁band its . ▁" Now ▁she ’ s ▁a ▁mother ▁of ▁six ▁babies !” ▁The ▁E nd . ▁L iz zy ▁couldn ’ t ▁see ▁very ▁well ▁at ▁night . ▁L iz zy ’ s ▁heart ▁ra ced ▁and ▁Sp ider ▁y ell ed , ▁" H ur ry ▁up !" ▁“ O uch ! ▁That ▁was ▁sharp ... ▁that ▁hur ts .” ▁She ▁was ▁so

▁through ▁my ▁wings ▁which ▁allow s ▁me ▁to ▁so ar ▁above ▁the ▁highest ▁of ▁things . ▁O k , ▁Mr . ▁H aw k , ▁th ank ▁you . ▁Next ... ▁What ▁can ▁I ▁tell ▁you ▁about ▁my ▁cl aw s ? ▁But ▁I ▁... ▁Next

▁“ L it tle ▁B il ly , ▁little ▁B il ly , ▁what ▁do ▁you ▁want ▁to ▁be ?” ▁As ▁he ▁came ▁cl oser , ▁he ▁found ▁a ▁mon key ▁j ugg ling ▁water m el ons . ▁The ▁animals ▁around ▁the ▁mon key ▁were ▁enjoy

▁how ▁many ▁marbles ▁they ▁have ▁in ▁total ▁when ▁they ▁put ▁them ▁together ▁in ▁a ▁p ile . ▁The ▁m ol ar ▁mass ▁of ▁oxygen ▁( O ) ▁is ▁approximately ▁16 .00 ▁g / mol . ▁All ▁that ▁has ▁to ▁be ▁done ▁is ▁to ▁arrange : ▁( i ) ▁a ▁scale ▁according ▁to ▁which ▁units ▁of ▁length ▁correspond ▁to ▁units ▁of ▁magn itude ▁of ▁the ▁vector — for ▁example , ▁one ▁in ch ▁to ▁a ▁ vel oc ity ▁of ▁10 ▁miles ▁per ▁hour ▁in ▁the ▁case ▁of ▁ vel oc ities , ▁and ▁one ▁in ch ▁to ▁a ▁force ▁of ▁10 ▁t ons ▁weight ▁in ▁the ▁case ▁of ▁forces — and ▁( ii ) ▁a ▁direction ▁of ▁the ▁line ▁on ▁the ▁diagram ▁correspond ing ▁to ▁the ▁direction ▁of ▁the ▁vector . ▁The ▁ideas ▁of ▁ratio ▁and ▁proportion ▁were ▁introduced ▁in ▁grade ▁6 ▁and ▁further ▁developed ▁in ▁grade ▁7. ▁It ▁is ▁not ▁necessary ▁that ▁the ▁first ▁guess ▁at ▁the ▁square ▁root ▁is ▁close ▁to ▁the ▁answer ▁- ▁we ▁can ▁start ▁with ▁any ▁positive ▁number ▁and ▁end ▁up ▁with ▁the ▁estimate ▁we ▁want ▁- ▁it ▁just ▁may ▁take ▁a ▁little ▁longer . ▁In ▁this ▁case , ▁the ▁distance ▁is ▁8 ▁miles ▁and ▁the ▁speed ▁is ▁6 .4 ▁miles ▁per ▁hour . ▁R ear range ▁the ▁terms ▁to ▁form ▁a ▁qu adr atic ▁equation : ▁We ▁are ▁given ▁that ▁P ▁= ▁50 ▁( the ▁number ▁of ▁pens ) ▁and ▁N ▁= ▁40 ▁( the ▁number ▁of ▁note book s ). ▁To ▁find ▁the ▁total ▁number ▁of ▁games ▁played , ▁we ▁can ▁use ▁the ▁formula ▁for ▁comb inations ▁since ▁each ▁game ▁is ▁a ▁unique ▁combination ▁of ▁two ▁players ▁from ▁the ▁group . ▁Two ▁circ les ▁do ▁not ▁intersect , ▁or ▁intersect ▁in ▁a ▁point , ▁or ▁intersect ▁in ▁two ▁points . ▁Justin ▁has ▁75 ▁minutes ▁left ▁for ▁his ▁home work . ▁Furthermore , ▁since ▁there ▁is ▁only ▁one ▁point ▁of ▁inter section ▁of ▁two ▁non par alle l ▁lines , ▁this ▁is ▁the ▁unique ▁solution . ▁To ▁confirm , ▁we ▁can ▁check ▁if ▁these ▁values ▁satisf y ▁both ▁original ▁equations . ▁These ▁equations ▁provide ▁graphs ▁of ▁two ▁different ▁lines ▁( since ▁they ▁have ▁different ▁y - inter cepts , ▁(0, 2) ▁and ▁(0, 4) ) ▁that ▁are ▁par alle l , ▁since ▁they ▁have ▁the ▁same ▁slope ▁( -2 /5 ). ▁Now , ▁we ▁shall ▁m im ic ▁this ▁construction ▁for ▁the ▁general ▁non - vert ical ▁straight ▁line . ▁sell s ▁no ▁cars , ▁he ▁receiv es ▁the ▁base ▁salary ▁of ▁$ 1 000 . ▁- ▁The ▁first ▁art ist ▁spe nds ▁30 ▁hours ▁a ▁week ▁pain ting . ▁So , ▁there ▁are ▁32 ▁M & M s ▁in ▁the ▁j ar ▁after ▁all ▁the ▁changes . ▁T aking ▁square ▁roots , ▁we ▁have ▁h =2 25 ▁approximately . ▁Let ' s ▁calculate ▁the ▁population ▁step ▁by ▁step : ▁So , ▁A ▁and ▁B ▁together ▁can ▁fin ish ▁the ▁work ▁in ▁40 ▁days . ▁Since ▁the ▁length ▁of ▁the ▁train ▁is ▁given ▁as ▁50 ▁m , ▁we ▁can ▁find ▁the ▁length ▁of ▁the ▁platform ▁by ▁subtract ing ▁the ▁length ▁of ▁the ▁train ▁from ▁the ▁total ▁distance ▁covered : ▁However , ▁we ▁can ▁try ▁to ▁manip ulate ▁these ▁two ▁equations ▁to ▁find ▁a ▁relationship ▁between ▁the ▁v it amin ▁C ▁cont ents ▁of ▁the ▁ju ices . ▁There ▁is ▁a ▁pattern ▁here : ▁each ▁time ▁we ▁move ▁to ▁the ▁right ▁by ▁one ▁unit , ▁the ▁height ▁of ▁the ▁st ack ▁increases ▁by ▁2. ▁2. ▁400 ▁of ▁the ▁original ▁population ▁move ▁out : ▁Now , ▁let ' s ▁add ▁those ▁numbers : ▁It ▁made ▁possible ▁the ▁growth ▁of ▁the ▁modern ▁concept ion ▁of ▁algebraic ▁form . ▁When ▁Ch ris ▁and ▁R y an ▁put ▁their ▁marbles ▁together , ▁the ▁total ▁number ▁of ▁marbles ▁in ▁the ▁p ile ▁is ▁Ch ris ' s ▁marbles ▁plus ▁R y an ' s ▁marbles , ▁which ▁is ▁12 ▁+ ▁R . ▁Now , ▁if ▁we ▁had ▁started ▁out ▁with ▁the ▁expression ▁2 x + 4 =2 ( x +2 ), ▁then ▁the ▁figure ▁would ▁have ▁shown ▁just ▁one ▁line , ▁since ▁the ▁two ▁expressions ▁are ▁equivalent . ▁Finally , ▁we ▁add ▁this ▁increase ▁to ▁last ▁year ' s ▁weight ▁to ▁find ▁out ▁how ▁much ▁K yle ▁can ▁lif t ▁this ▁year : ▁P op ulation ▁after ▁400 ▁people ▁move ▁out ▁= ▁8 80 ▁- ▁400 ▁= ▁4 80 ▁The ▁area ▁of ▁the ▁rectangle ▁is ▁202 .5 ▁square ▁units . ▁Therefore , ▁we ▁need ▁at ▁least ▁300 ▁water ▁cont ain ers ▁to ▁hold ▁all ▁the ▁water ▁from ▁the ▁rect angular ▁par alle le p ip ed ▁cont ain er . ▁Under ▁the ▁influence ▁of ▁our ▁algebraic ▁not ation ▁we ▁would ▁more ▁often ▁say ▁that ▁one ▁line ▁was ▁two - th ird s ▁of ▁the ▁other ▁in ▁length , ▁and ▁would ▁think ▁of ▁two - th ird s ▁as ▁a ▁numer ical ▁multip lier . ▁Let ' s ▁first ▁determine ▁the ▁ratio ▁of ▁fl av oring ▁to ▁corn ▁sy ru p ▁in ▁the ▁s port ▁form ulation . ▁Now , ▁look ▁at ▁figure ▁13. ▁So ▁she ▁received ▁36 ▁/ ▁4 ▁= ▁9 ▁cookies . ▁We ▁can ▁do ▁this ▁by ▁subtract ing ▁the ▁new ▁hair ▁length ▁from ▁the ▁original ▁hair ▁length : ▁62 .49 ▁grams / oun ce ▁* ▁2 ▁o un ces ▁= ▁12 4 .9 8 ▁grams ▁of ▁c aff e ine ▁( app ro xim ately ) ▁In ▁particular , ▁if ▁Q ▁is ▁chosen ▁so ▁that ▁P Q ▁is ▁per pend ic ular ▁to ▁L ▁( and ▁thus ▁all ▁angles ▁at ▁Q ▁are ▁the ▁same ), ▁since ▁we ▁already ▁know ▁that ▁the ▁se gments ▁P Q ▁and ▁P ' Q ▁have ▁the ▁same ▁length , ▁we ▁conclud e ▁that ▁L ▁is ▁the ▁per pend ic ular ▁b is ect or ▁of ▁P P '. ▁So , ▁the ▁population ▁increases ▁by ▁100 ▁persons ▁in ▁25 ▁minutes . ▁Each ▁boat ▁is ▁3 ▁feet ▁across , ▁so ▁8 ▁bo ats ▁would ▁occup y ▁a ▁total ▁wid th ▁of : ▁8 ▁bo ats ▁* ▁3 ▁feet / bo at ▁= ▁24 ▁feet . ▁Since ▁each ▁story ▁is ▁12 ▁feet ▁high , ▁the ▁volume ▁of ▁each ▁story ▁is ▁12 x ▁3 x ▁10 ^{ 4 } =3 .6 x ▁10 ^{ 5 } ▁c u . ▁New ton ▁would ▁have ▁phr ased ▁the ▁question ▁by ▁saying ▁that , ▁as ▁h ▁approaches ▁zero , ▁in ▁the ▁limit ▁2 x ▁+ ▁h ▁becomes ▁2 x . ▁Add ing ▁the ▁cookies , ▁the ▁new ▁weight ▁is : ▁So , ▁the ▁average ▁speed ▁of ▁Jo ey ' s ▁round ▁trip ▁is ▁approximately ▁3 ▁miles / h our . ▁To ▁find ▁the ▁least ▁number ▁of ▁can s ▁required ▁to ▁pack ▁all ▁the ▁dr in ks ▁without ▁m ix ing , ▁we ▁need ▁to ▁find ▁the ▁greatest ▁common ▁divis or ▁( G CD ) ▁of ▁the ▁quant ities ▁of ▁Ma az a ▁and ▁P ep s i , ▁as ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁liters ▁in ▁each ▁can ▁must ▁be ▁a ▁divis or ▁of ▁both ▁quant ities . ▁We ▁are ▁also ▁given ▁that ▁after ▁6 ▁years , ▁R ah ul ' s ▁age ▁will ▁be ▁26 ▁years . ▁if ▁this ▁sales man ▁sell s ▁4 ▁cars , ▁his ▁income ▁for ▁that ▁month ▁is : ▁1000 ▁+ ▁4 (2 50 ); ▁Under ▁a ▁translation , ▁the ▁image ▁of ▁a ▁line ▁L ▁is ▁a ▁line ▁L ' ▁par alle l ▁to ▁L . ▁So , ▁let ' s ▁subtract ▁the ▁total ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁three ▁p od cast s ▁and ▁the ▁1 - h our ▁p od cast ▁from ▁the ▁total ▁drive ▁time : ▁We ▁can ▁imag ine ▁that ▁when ▁it ▁had ▁been ▁introduced ▁for ▁this ▁purpose , ▁practical ▁men , ▁of ▁the ▁sort ▁who ▁dis l ike ▁f anc iful ▁ideas , ▁dep rec ated ▁the ▁sil ly ▁habit ▁of ▁identifying ▁it ▁with ▁a ▁number ▁zero . ▁Here ▁we ▁move ▁to ▁the ▁same ▁concepts , ▁based ▁on ▁circular ▁figures . ▁( y ), ▁and ▁the ▁final ▁number ▁of ▁lives ▁( 70 ). ▁John ▁must ▁work ▁9 ▁hours ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁have ▁enough ▁money ▁to ▁buy ▁the ▁special ▁sh irt . ▁First , ▁calculate ▁the ▁rate ▁per ▁period ▁( r / n ): ▁However , ▁with ▁the ▁information ▁given , ▁we ▁cannot ▁determine ▁the ▁exact ▁number ▁of ▁numbers ▁in ▁the ▁set . ▁However , ▁the ▁equation ▁x ▁= ▁83 ▁- ▁5 y ▁gives ▁us ▁the ▁relationship ▁between ▁the ▁initial ▁number ▁of ▁lives ▁How ▁do ▁we ▁find ▁that ▁translation ? ▁So , ▁the ▁rest a ur ant ▁requ ires ▁45 ▁larger ▁can s ▁(2 5 - oun ce ) ▁to ▁fulf ill ▁its ▁week ly ▁needs . ▁So , ▁Sam ▁grew ▁4 ▁water m el ons ▁initially . ▁n ▁= ▁1 ▁( since ▁the ▁interest ▁is ▁comp ounded ▁annually , ▁we ' ll ▁assume ▁n = 1) ▁Thus ▁as ▁the ▁first ▁general ization ▁of ▁number ▁we ▁place ▁the ▁concept ▁of ▁fractions . ▁Init ially , ▁the ▁t ank ▁contains ▁3 % ▁ble ach , ▁which ▁means ▁there ▁are ▁0 .0 3 ▁* ▁500 ▁= ▁15 ▁gallons ▁of ▁ble ach ▁in ▁the ▁500 - g all on ▁solution . ▁It ▁is ▁a ▁well - f ounded ▁historical ▁general ization , ▁that ▁the ▁last ▁thing ▁to ▁be ▁discovered ▁in ▁any ▁science ▁is ▁what ▁the ▁science ▁is ▁really ▁about . ▁To ▁find ▁the ▁area ▁of ▁the ▁tra pe z ium , ▁we ▁can ▁use ▁the ▁formula ▁for ▁the ▁area ▁of ▁a ▁tra pe z oid , ▁which ▁is : ▁Add ▁equ als ▁to ▁equ als ▁( x =2 1, ▁y = 17 ▁became ▁x + y = 38 ); ▁This ▁not ation ▁was ▁introduced ▁into ▁Europe ▁through ▁the ▁Arab s , ▁but ▁they ▁apparent ly ▁obtained ▁it ▁from ▁Hind oo ▁sources . ▁We ▁now ▁want ▁to ▁see ▁how ▁to ▁describe ▁this ▁in ▁terms ▁of ▁coordin ates : ▁how ▁do ▁the ▁coordin ates ▁of ▁two ▁points ▁on ▁a ▁line ▁determine ▁the ▁relation ▁between ▁the ▁coordin ates ▁of ▁any ▁point ▁on ▁the ▁line ? ▁Now , ▁let ' s ▁do ▁the ▁arithmetic : ▁Un icy cles : ▁Each ▁un icy cle ▁has ▁1 ▁wheel , ▁and ▁there ▁are ▁3 ▁un icy cles , ▁so : ▁3. ▁App ly ▁the ▁rules ▁for ▁solving ▁linear ▁equations . ▁However , ▁this ▁answer ▁doesn ' t ▁make ▁sense ▁because ▁there ▁are ▁only ▁8 ▁different ▁books ▁in ▁the ▁series . ▁Note ▁another ▁way ▁to ▁solve ▁the ▁equation : ▁subtract ▁the ▁second ▁equation ▁from ▁the ▁first ▁to ▁get ▁4 y ▁= ▁8, ▁and ▁thus ▁y ▁= ▁2. ▁Since ▁that ▁is ▁what ▁is ▁being ▁asked , ▁let ' s ▁go ▁back ▁to ▁scientific ▁not ation : ▁\\\\\\\\ [ ( 3 .2 x ▁10 ^{ 4 } ) x ▁6 x ▁10 ^{ -1 } = ( ( 3 .2 ) x ▁6 ) x ( 10 ^{ 4 } x ▁1 ▁0 ^{ -1 } = 19 .2 x ▁10 ^{ 3 } =1 .9 2 x ▁10 ^{ 4 } \\\\\\\\ ] ▁which ▁is , ▁in ▁standard ▁not ation ▁19 , 2 00. ▁5. ▁Father ' s ▁opinion : ▁Weight ▁> ▁62 ▁kg ▁and ▁ ≤ ▁7 3 ▁kg , ▁and ▁a ▁multiple ▁of ▁4. ▁Let ' s ▁return ▁to ▁the ▁sign al ▁character istic ▁of ▁a ▁linear ▁relation ▁between ▁the ▁variables ▁x ▁and ▁y : ▁the ▁rate ▁of ▁change ▁of ▁y ▁with ▁respect ▁to ▁x ▁is ▁constant , ▁and ▁this ▁constant ▁is ▁the ▁slope ▁of ▁the ▁graph ▁of ▁the ▁relation . ▁Each ▁set ▁consists ▁of ▁3 ▁col oring ▁books , ▁7 ▁mark ers , ▁and ▁9 ▁cr ay ons . ▁L arge ▁post ers : ▁1/ 5 ▁of ▁200 ▁= ▁200 /5 ▁= ▁40 ▁post ers ▁Indeed , ▁Arch imed es , ▁who ▁combined ▁a ▁g en ius ▁for ▁mathematics ▁with ▁a ▁physical ▁ins ight , ▁must ▁rank ▁with ▁New ton , ▁who ▁lived ▁nearly ▁two ▁thousand ▁years ▁later , ▁as ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁found ers ▁of ▁mathematical ▁phys ics . ▁To ▁find ▁the ▁average ▁of ▁a ▁set ▁of ▁consec utive ▁integ ers , ▁you ▁can ▁take ▁the ▁average ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁and ▁last ▁numbers ▁in ▁the ▁set . ▁So ▁the ▁original ▁triangles ▁are ▁con g ru ent . ▁Then ▁the ▁end ▁result ▁is ▁" re ve aled " ▁to ▁be ▁3 + K . ▁Consider , ▁for ▁example , ▁the ▁dig it ▁5, ▁as ▁occur ring ▁in ▁the ▁numbers ▁25, ▁5 1, ▁35 1 2, ▁52 13 . ▁To ▁find ▁out ▁how ▁many ▁pictures ▁the ▁first ▁col oring ▁book ▁had , ▁we ▁subtract ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁pictures ▁in ▁the ▁second ▁col oring ▁book ▁from ▁the ▁total ▁number ▁of ▁pictures : ▁Since ▁Gr anger ▁has ▁five ▁times ▁as ▁many ▁sp ots ▁as ▁C isco , ▁we ▁can ▁also ▁write : ▁This ▁sort ▁of ▁order ▁is ▁called ▁the ▁type ▁of ▁order ▁of ▁the ▁integ ers ; ▁its ▁ess ence ▁is ▁the ▁possess ion ▁of ▁next - do or ▁neigh b ours ▁on ▁either ▁side

%) ▁women ▁had ▁three ▁or ▁more ▁children . ▁Of ▁the ▁12 ▁maternal ▁deaths ▁due ▁to ▁Res p iratory ▁D ise ases , ▁10 ▁were ▁due ▁to ▁pneumonia . ▁14 . ▁Development ▁of ▁le af lets ▁for ▁general ▁public ▁on ▁currently ▁available ▁Family ▁Planning ▁methods ▁was ▁initiated . ▁There ▁were ▁only ▁two ▁(2 ) ▁teenage ▁maternal ▁deaths . ▁Int rodu ction ▁of ▁a ▁comprehensive ▁child ▁care ▁package ▁( field ▁component ) ▁to ▁the ▁MOH ▁system ▁was ▁an ▁identified ▁g ap ▁within ▁the ▁child ▁health ▁programme ▁of ▁the ▁country . ▁While ▁the ▁principal ▁ro les ▁of ▁the ▁PHM ▁lies ▁around ▁maternal ▁and ▁child ▁health ▁activities , ▁the ▁PHIs ▁are ▁princip ally ▁held ▁responsible ▁for ▁school ▁and ▁adolescent ▁health ▁programme , ▁environmental ▁and ▁occupational ▁health ▁activities ▁including ▁control ▁of ▁communic able ▁diseases , ▁ensuring ▁water ▁and ▁food ▁safety , ▁and ▁sanitation ▁related ▁interventions . ▁During ▁the ▁programme ▁10 2 ▁Public ▁Health ▁Nurs ing ▁S ister s ▁and ▁Nurs

▁reported ▁deliveries ▁and ▁mothers ▁attending ▁clinics . ▁Re ce iv ing ▁of ▁H ▁50 9 ▁is ▁much ▁better ▁than ▁that ▁of ▁H ▁7 97 . ▁It ▁is ▁observed ▁that ▁2 .4% ▁of ▁the ▁live ▁births ▁occurred ▁in ▁the ▁country ▁is ▁not ▁captured ▁by ▁the ▁field ▁PHMs . ▁T reat ment ▁of ▁hel min th ▁infection ▁is ▁also ▁being ▁carried ▁out ▁island w ide ▁for ▁under ▁5 ▁children , ▁school ▁children ▁and ▁pregnant ▁mothers . ▁It ▁is ▁calculated ▁as ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁maternal ▁deaths ▁per ▁100 ,000 ▁live ▁births . ▁National ▁guidelines ▁recommend ▁that ▁children ▁under ▁two ▁years ▁to ▁be ▁we ighed ▁once ▁a ▁month . ▁Special ▁attention ▁should ▁be ▁paid ▁to ▁address ▁the ▁issue ▁of ▁over weight ▁among ▁antenatal ▁women . ▁The ▁review ▁process ▁ev olved ▁over ▁the ▁years ▁with ▁the ▁addition ▁of ▁numer ous ▁quality ▁d imens ions . ▁Both ▁comprehensive ▁and ▁emergency ▁ob stetric ▁care ▁were ▁maintained ▁in ▁all ▁hospitals ▁except ▁in ▁few ▁hospitals ▁which ▁were ▁fully ▁dedicated ▁to ▁managing ▁COVID -19 ▁patients . ▁Of ▁these ▁visits , ▁one ▁visit ▁each ▁has ▁to ▁be ▁made ▁during ▁first ▁5 ▁and ▁6 -10 ▁days ▁following ▁delivery ▁and ▁the ▁other ▁2 ▁during ▁14 ▁21 ▁days ▁and ▁around ▁42 ▁days ▁respectively . ▁According ▁to ▁World ▁Health ▁Organization ▁statement ▁on ▁ca es are an ▁section ▁rates , ▁a ▁ca es are an ▁section ▁rate ▁of ▁more ▁than ▁15% ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁studied ▁further ▁to ▁identify ▁the ▁under lying ▁factors . ▁Despite ▁the ▁allocation ▁in ▁G O SL ▁funds , ▁poor ▁cash ▁flow ▁result ed ▁in ▁less ▁expenditure ▁of ▁funds . ▁During ▁the ▁first ▁quarter ▁of ▁2018, ▁FHB ▁implemented ▁phase ▁II ▁of ▁the ▁eRHMIS , ▁the ▁web ▁based ▁school ▁health ▁information ▁system . ▁The ▁month ▁of ▁June ▁is ▁declared ▁as ▁the ▁“ N utrition ▁Month ” ▁annually ▁to ▁draw ▁more ▁attention ▁to ▁nutrition ▁among ▁all ▁age ▁groups , ▁tri ple ▁burden ▁of ▁mal n utrition ▁being ▁a ▁priority ▁concern . ▁Maternal ▁Care ▁Programme ▁promot es ▁early ▁and ▁regular ▁antenatal ▁care . ▁Each ▁probable ▁maternal ▁death ▁is ▁reported ▁within ▁24 ▁hours ▁to ▁the ▁RDHS ▁and ▁FHB ▁by ▁the ▁MOH ▁of ▁the ▁field ▁and / or ▁Head ▁of ▁the ▁In stitution , ▁where ▁the ▁death ▁occurred . ▁Children ▁under ▁five ▁and ▁Grade ▁1, ▁10 ▁students ▁are ▁to ▁be ▁provided ▁by ▁PHMs ▁and ▁PHIs ▁respectively . ▁The ▁study ▁concluded ▁that ▁the ▁HPV ▁DNA ▁test ▁is ▁oper ational ly ▁and ▁techn

▁Consultant ▁Community ▁Phys icians ▁participated ▁at ▁this ▁supervision . ▁It ▁is ▁highly ▁significant ▁that ▁twenty ▁seven ▁(2 9 %) ▁women ▁were ▁above ▁35 ▁years ▁of ▁age ▁( Figure ▁6 ). ▁Figure ▁3.1 : ▁Registr ation ▁of ▁antenatal ▁women ▁and ▁registration ▁before ▁8 ▁weeks ▁from ▁2015 ▁to ▁2019 ▁( S ource : ▁FHB , ▁eRHMIS ). ▁Of ▁all ▁pregnant ▁mothers ▁94 .5% ▁of ▁all ▁mothers ▁tested ▁for ▁H b ▁before ▁12 ▁weeks ▁of ▁pregnancy ▁and ▁among ▁them ▁19 .4% ▁were ▁having ▁H b ▁% ▁below ▁11 g / d l . ▁Table ▁2.1 ▁pres ents ▁the ▁s izes ▁of ▁various ▁types ▁of ▁target ▁groups ▁coming ▁under ▁the ▁RMNCAYH ▁Programme ▁in ▁the ▁year ▁2018. ▁Therefore , ▁health ▁sector ▁response ▁within ▁a ▁country ▁is ▁often ▁the ▁initial , ▁and ▁cru cial ▁response ▁to ▁GBV ▁from ▁govern ments . ▁The ▁percentage ▁registration ▁over ▁last ▁5 ▁years ▁indicates ▁that ▁PHMs ▁have ▁registered ▁high ▁proport ions ▁of ▁estimated ▁number ▁of ▁pregnancies . ▁The ▁School ▁Health ▁Unit ▁of ▁the ▁Family ▁Health ▁Bureau ▁worked ▁in ▁co ordination ▁with ▁environment ▁and ▁Occ up ation ▁unit ▁and ▁the ▁Nutrition ▁Division ▁of ▁Ministry ▁of ▁Health ▁to ▁up gr ade ▁the ▁status ▁of ▁school ▁c ant e ens ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁provide ▁health y ▁food ▁to ▁school ▁children . ▁This ▁amount s ▁to ▁11 .6% ▁of ▁the ▁total ▁reported ▁deliveries . ▁Family ▁Health ▁Programme ▁is ▁integr ated ▁into ▁the ▁usual ▁multi - t ier ▁organ iz ational ▁arrange ment ▁of ▁the ▁Ministry ▁of ▁Health . ▁However , ▁it ▁must ▁be ▁noted ▁that ▁severe ▁clinical ▁forms ▁of ▁under ▁nutrition ▁are ▁hard ly ▁seen ▁in ▁the ▁country ▁and ▁mortality ▁and ▁morbidity ▁rates ▁of ▁under ▁five ▁children ▁are ▁also ▁low . ▁According ▁to ▁the ▁Family ▁Health ▁Programme ▁frame work , ▁antenatal ▁care ▁begins ▁with ▁the ▁registration ▁of ▁pregnant ▁woman ▁by ▁PHM ▁either ▁at ▁field ▁or ▁clinic . ▁Ind irect ▁ob stetric ▁deaths ▁result ▁from ▁previous ▁existing ▁disease ▁or ▁disease ▁that ▁developed ▁during ▁pregnancy ▁which ▁were ▁not ▁due ▁to ▁direct ▁ob stetric ▁ca uses ▁but ▁ag g rav ated ▁by ▁phys i olog ic ▁effects ▁of ▁pregnancy . ▁Figure ▁4 ▁shows ▁number ▁of ▁deaths ▁and ▁MMR ▁of ▁each ▁district ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁live ▁births ▁reported ▁by ▁Registrar ▁General ’ s ▁Department . ▁Therefore , ▁in ▁2019, ▁eRHMIS 2 ▁a ▁tra ck er ▁system ▁for ▁health ▁care ▁institutions ▁were ▁initiated ▁as ▁a ▁pilot ▁in ▁major ▁private ▁hospitals ▁in ▁Colombo . ▁Consider ing ▁the ▁f o etal ▁was t age , ▁the ▁estimated ▁number ▁of ▁pregnancies ▁is ▁approximately ▁3 50, 9 11 ▁of ▁which ▁R HMIS ▁has ▁reported ▁34 1, 7 4 5. ▁Therefore , ▁Family ▁Health ▁Programme ▁is ▁a ▁collection ▁of ▁several ▁pack ages ▁of ▁interventions ▁that ▁are ▁aimed ▁to ▁promote ▁the ▁health ▁of ▁families ▁around ▁the ▁country ▁with ▁special ▁emphas is ▁on ▁mothers ▁and ▁children . ▁Figure ▁6.1 ▁pres ents ▁the ▁trends ▁in ▁method ▁pre ference ▁since ▁2015 ▁to ▁2019. ▁The ▁Medical ▁Officer ▁of ▁Health ▁( MOH ) ▁is ▁responsible ▁for ▁implementation ▁of ▁the ▁school ▁health ▁programme ▁under ▁the ▁technical ▁guidance ▁of ▁provincial ▁/ d ist rict ▁consult ant ▁community ▁phys ician ▁and ▁M O / MCH s ▁in ▁collaboration ▁with ▁the ▁Z on al ▁Educ ational ▁Officers ▁and ▁School ▁Pr incip als . ▁To ▁achieve ▁this ▁target ▁three - day ▁AYFHS ▁training ▁programs ▁were ▁conducted ▁to ▁the ▁health ▁care ▁staff ▁during ▁the ▁year ▁2020. ▁B ased ▁on ▁that , ▁the ▁estimated ▁eligible ▁family ▁number ▁would ▁be ▁4, 0 1 2, 85 1 . ▁To ▁overcome ▁this ▁issue , ▁the ▁FHB ▁introduced ▁eRHMIS ▁2 ▁in ▁mid ▁2019 ▁as ▁a ▁pilot ▁project ▁in ▁major ▁private ▁hospitals ▁in ▁Colombo . ▁On line ▁platform s ▁were ▁created ▁to ▁link ▁with ▁the ▁per ip her al ▁staff ▁every ▁week ▁online ▁and ▁through ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁social ▁media ▁en ab ling ▁the ▁grass ▁root ▁level ▁workers ▁to ▁be ▁directly ▁link ed ▁with ▁the ▁cent re . ▁42 ▁Medical ▁officers , ▁40 ▁Nurs ing ▁Officers ▁and ▁11 ▁PHMs . ▁Mother ▁baby ▁centers ▁to ▁care ▁for ▁sick ▁babies ▁and ▁mothers ▁are ▁available ▁in ▁31 ▁specialized ▁hospitals ▁and ▁L act ation ▁Management ▁Cent res ▁( L MC ) ▁to ▁support ▁mothers ▁with ▁breastfeeding ▁problems ▁are ▁available ▁in ▁68 ▁specialized ▁hospitals . ▁During ▁home ▁visits , ▁PHMs ▁assess ▁the ▁antenatal ▁mothers ’ ▁health ▁status ▁by ▁risk ▁screening ▁and ▁examination , ▁conducting ▁simple ▁investigations , ▁educ ating ▁pregnant ▁mothers ▁and ▁family ▁members . ▁The ▁central ▁min istry ▁has ▁the ▁overall ▁responsibility ▁of ▁maintaining ▁the ▁health ▁services ▁of ▁the ▁country , ▁while ▁the ▁nine ▁provincial ▁ministries ▁emp owered ▁with ▁nine ▁Provincial ▁Directors ▁of ▁Health ▁Services ▁( P DHS ) ▁are ▁responsible ▁for ▁effective ▁implementation ▁of ▁the ▁services ▁in ▁their ▁respective ▁provinces . ▁Regional ▁workshops ▁were ▁conducted ▁for ▁MOH / A MOH ▁with ▁the ▁participation ▁of ▁FHB ▁officers ▁in ▁the ▁districts ▁of ▁Nuwara ▁Eli ya , ▁Ratnapura ▁and ▁Gampaha ▁and ▁a ▁combined ▁workshop ▁at ▁FHB ▁for ▁R SP H NO / PH NS / SP HM ▁from ▁districts ▁of ▁Nuwara ▁Eli ya ▁& ▁Ratnapura . ▁Most ▁common ▁postpartum ▁problems ▁include ▁infected ▁ca es are an ▁sc ar , ▁eng or ged ▁breast ▁and ▁separ ated ▁ep is iot omy ▁respectively . ▁Col p os c op y ▁services ▁were ▁arr anged ▁for ▁pap ▁sm ear ▁and ▁L BC ▁positive ▁women . ▁Al most ▁all ▁women ▁had ▁been ▁tested ▁for ▁blood ▁group ▁and ▁Rh ▁status ▁by ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁delivery ▁(99 .7 %). ▁These ▁training ▁programmes ▁were ▁conducted ▁as ▁inter act ive ▁sess ions ▁to ▁fully ▁eng age ▁participants ▁and ▁compris ed ▁of ▁lect ure ▁discussions , ▁small ▁group ▁activities , ▁discussion ▁of ▁case ▁sc en ari os ▁and ▁particip ant ▁present ations . ▁• ▁Annual ▁child ▁nutrition ▁sur veillance ▁along ▁with ▁the ▁National ▁Nutrition ▁Month ; ▁Despite ▁ob st ac

▁General ’ s ▁Department ▁information ▁and ▁information ▁from ▁Department ▁of ▁Education , ▁an ▁attempt ▁is ▁made ▁below ▁[ t able ▁2.1 ] ▁to ▁identify ▁where ▁the ▁national ▁RMNCAYH ▁programme ▁stand s ▁in ▁2020. ▁The ▁modern ▁permanent ▁method ▁is ▁the ▁female ▁st er il ization , ▁L igation ▁and ▁Res ection ▁of ▁T ub es ▁( L R T ). ▁In ▁response ▁to ▁COVID ▁- 19 ▁pandemic , ▁maternal ▁and ▁newborn ▁care ▁provision ▁took ▁the ▁high risk ▁approach . ▁Therefore ▁the ▁indicators ▁of ▁N I HS ▁and ▁C MC ▁areas ▁are ▁separ ately ▁shown ▁in ▁circ les ▁emb ed ded ▁in ▁relevant ▁districts ▁in ▁which ▁they ▁are ▁located , ▁when ever ▁the ▁performance ▁of ▁those ▁areas ▁are ▁different ▁to ▁respective ▁districts . ▁It ▁is ▁note w orth y ▁the ▁substant ial ▁reduction ▁of ▁number ▁of ▁maternal ▁deaths ▁( n =3 5, ▁27 %) ▁over ▁the ▁years ▁2018 ▁& ▁2019. ▁Pre gn ancy ▁outcome ▁was ▁reported ▁for ▁88 .0 % ▁of ▁pregnancies ▁registered ▁with ▁PHMs . ▁During ▁the ▁S MI s ▁students ▁are ▁assessed ▁for ▁their ▁nutritional ▁status . ▁BMI ▁more ▁than ▁25 ▁K g / m 2 ▁has ▁increased ▁from ▁23 .7% ▁to ▁31 .3% ▁over ▁a ▁period ▁of ▁5 - year s . ▁The ▁National ▁Coordin ating ▁Committee ▁( NC C ) ▁on ▁School ▁Health ▁of ▁the ▁Ministry ▁of ▁Health ▁is ▁ch aired ▁by ▁the ▁Director ▁General ▁of ▁Health ▁Services ▁and ▁functions ▁as ▁the ▁main ▁exec utive ▁body ▁that ▁takes ▁decisions ▁with ▁regard ▁to ▁the ▁school ▁health ▁activities ▁and ▁providing ▁policy , ▁guideline ▁and ▁technical ▁direct ives ▁to ▁be ▁taken ▁up ▁at ▁the ▁Ste ering ▁committee ▁of ▁the ▁Ministry ▁of ▁Education . ▁Such ▁disc
