Rare fragment of early copy of Gospel goes on sale

An unusually large fragment from possibly the oldest copy of part of the Gospel of John will go on sale next month, when the torn piece of papyrus with Greek writing is expected to fetch up to 300,000 pounds.


The fragment is believed to date to 200 AD, less than 170 years after the crucifixion of Christ, when Christianity was still illegal and around 100 years after experts believe the original Gospel was first written.

"This is either the first or the second oldest copy of this part of the text of the Gospel of John," Sotheby's specialist Timothy Bolton told Reuters as he held the document displayed between two sheets of clear plastic.

"It is one of the finest and most celebrated of Gospel fragments, as there are very few pieces of this spectacular quality."

The appearance of page number 74 in one corner shows the leaf came from a relatively large volume of the whole Gospel, he explained, and adds to the rarity of the piece.

Its Greek text is an account of Jesus preaching in the temple, where people challenge his right to give evidence on his own behalf. It includes the cryptic and prophetic words: "Whither I go, ye cannot come."

The fragment was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologists Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt at the site of the important early Christian community at Oxyrhynchus, about 120 miles (193 km) from Cairo. It is believed to have been written in Alexandria.

Most finds from the site ended up in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the British Museum, although some pieces, including the fragment, were sent to seminaries and colleges.

The U.S. divinity school where it ended up sold the fragment in New York in 2003, and it fetched $400,000, which Sotheby's said was the highest price ever paid at public sale for an early Christian manuscript.

MARCO POLO COMPENDIUM

Another highlight at the London sale on December 3 is a large compendium containing a previously unknown, 14th century manuscript of Medieval traveller Marco Polo's adventures along the Silk Road and into China the century before.

According to the auctioneer, only six manuscripts of Polo's account have appeared on the market in the last century and none since one was sold by Sotheby's in 1930.

Bolton said the Latin volume was probably copied by a monk from a selection of manuscripts in the library of Glastonbury Abbey which are now almost completely lost or destroyed.

It is believed to have passed into the possession of the Earl of Devon in the 16th century and has passed by descent to the current owner, the 18th Earl of Devon.

As well as the Marco Polo account, there are sections on British history, near- and far-eastern affairs and a collection of prophecies.

"This thing has been in England since the 1380s and you could go to a Medieval library and pick this volume off the shelf, and read not only about China but about the whole world wrapped up in one document," said Bolton.

The compendium is expected to fetch 200-300,000 pounds.

5 Questions to Ask When Deciding to Buy a Home

Today's housing market may be bad news for borrowers saddled with mortgages they can't afford and developers stuck with houses or condos they can't sell. But it can be a golden opportunity for first-time home buyers.

Home prices in the 20 largest metropolitan areas have fallen 17% over the past two years. Meanwhile, the average interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was recently 6.5%, which is low by historical standards.

And, says Elizabeth Blakeslee, regional vice-president for the National Association of Realtors, "there is excellent inventory all over the country." During the peak of the housing boom, first-time buyers were fretting that they'd never be able to afford a home. Now, it seems, they can take their pick. But just because it's a buyer's market doesn't mean you should dive in. Before you rush to put in a bid on the house down the street, answer the following five questions.

Can You Stay Put?

Aside from the price itself, purchasing a home is an expensive process. As the buyer, you'll have to pay closing costs for expenses such as a title search, title insurance, attorney's fees and much more. In fact, those expenses typically total 3% to 5% of the purchase price.

In the past, the rule of thumb was that you should plan to own the house at least three years in order to recoup your closing costs through price appreciation. But given the uncertainty of today's market, you're better off with a five- to seven-year time horizon. Consider any imminent life changes -- such as switching careers, going back to school or getting married -- that could throw a wrench into your plan.

Are Your Financial Ducks in a Row?

When applying for a mortgage, three factors are critical: your income, your down payment and your credit score. In the heady days of subprime loans and relaxed lending standards, "you could get away with having two out of those three," says Jan Valecka, a financial planner in Lewisville, Tex. "But now you need all three."

Needless to say, stable employment is a must if you're thinking about buying a home. Lenders will also look at your other debts, such as student loans, when determining how large a mortgage you can take on.

As for the down payment, Blakeslee says 10% is the minimum and 20% is even better. That will save you the $50 to $100 per month you would otherwise pay for private mortgage insurance on a loan for more than 80% of your home's purchase price. You may be able to tap your IRA or Roth IRA to beef up your down payment.

Applying for a loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is one option that allows you to make a down payment of as little as 3%. There are limits on the size of a mortgage the FHA will insure, and you'll pay a slightly higher interest rate in return for the insurance. For help finding an FHA-approved lender, go to www.hud.gov.

Order your credit report at least six months before applying for loan preapproval, and fix any errors you find. It costs $48 at www.myFICO.com to get your report and credit score from each of the three credit bureaus. FICO can simulate how certain actions, such as paying all of your bills on time for a year, would affect your score. To qualify for the best interest rates on a mortgage loan, you'll need a credit score of at least 760; a score below 620 places you in subprime territory. The FICO Web site also lists current average mortgage rates for different credit-score ranges.

How Much Can You Afford?

If you're serious about buying, spend some time tinkering with Kiplinger's housing calculators that cover everything from home prices in your area to closing costs, homeowners insurance and more. But rather than stretch your finances to the max, think about what you can comfortably fit into your budget.

Rich Bergen, a financial planner in Garden City, N.Y., recommends that you compare your current monthly rent with the monthly net cost of ownership. Don't forget to factor in maintenance costs, utilities, homeowners insurance and property taxes, plus savings from your mortgage-interest tax deduction. And you'll still need to sock away money for an emergency fund, retirement and college for the kids.

Zach and Sarah Kirk, a recently married couple in Austin, Tex., who are in the market for their first home, decided that even though they qualify for a $350,000 loan, they're going to buy a home in the $200,000 range. Zach may attend graduate school, and Sarah will likely take time out of the workforce when the couple have children. "We could buy a house at the top of our budget range," says Zach, "but if there were any sudden changes and we lost one income, we'd have to reevaluate the whole situation."

Are You Ready For the Responsibility?

Your home will likely be the biggest investment you ever make, so you need to be mentally and financially prepared to take it on. If the hot-water heater leaks, you can't ask the landlord to fix it. And someone's going to have to mow the lawn and clean the gutters, whether you do it yourself or hire help. "There are some people who just don't want to have to think about 'What if the toilet breaks down in the middle of the night?'" says Avani Ramnani, a financial planner in Jersey City, N.J.

Still, "there's nothing like walking into your own home for the first time after settlement," says Blakeslee. "You can paint the walls plaid if you want to, and you don't have to worry about the landlord coming down on you."

Do You Know What You're Looking For?

Gorgeous, spacious and sunny? Sure, but think practical, too. If you drive to work, look for the most convenient route. If staying downtown is a priority, you may have to scale down your vision to a condo. "If you start out looking for the perfect home, you're not going to find it," says Elizabeth Blakeslee, of the National Association of Realtors. "You need to think about what's important to you."

Terri Carguillo was pregnant when she and husband Tom started looking at homes in North Babylon, N.Y., so a good school district and a safe environment were top priorities. "We did a lot of research," says Terri.

Educate yourself about the local market. Even within the same city, markets may differ depending on the neighborhood or the type of housing, says Elaine Scoggins, a financial planner in Seattle.

Go to www.zillow.com to research prices in areas that interest you so you can drive a hard bargain. "Prices are crazy right now, so you need to do some serious digging," says Scoggins.

Why would I have trouble remembering things?

Q:-
Hello I'm 26 years old and I have been experiencing some memory problems for the past week and a half. it all started Halloween morning I woke up everything was fine and then when I went to do something that required remembering a name I could not think of it this has been going on now for the last week and it's starting to make me worry that maybe there is something wrong with me simple band names that I know now seem hard like it's the first time I have herd them celebrity names and people in the news back home now seem like a hassle to remember. I even seem to struggle with some family names on my husbands side and friends names that I have known forever.

my question is what can cause this? I have to add that I recently was married a year ago on the 10th to my life partner who is a Marine and we moved away from all family and friends to Hawaii which is completely been a downer for me since I have never been out of my home state so this has been a constant stress factor and then my husband and I have fought a lot because of my unhappiness being here can this be the result of why my memory has started to slip? or could it be something else more serious that I should have a doctor take a look at. my biggest fear is ending up like my grandma who has Alzheimer's or my grandfather who had dementia I don't want to lose my memory so if someone could give some advise Id appreciate it thanks for your time.

A:-
it not alzheimers!!!
It is stress.

I went through the same thing , once your stress gets under control, you will have an eaier time remebering things but just dont keep checking in on yourself, overanalyzing what you remeber or not because that ads more stress and prolongs your recovery, I think though that if you are that stressed, you need to

change your attitude/outlook...for your own good

exercise

sleep good

eat good

do relaxation techniques

be patient this will take some time to resolve but soon you will be able to think clearer

see your doctor too because a doctor would know better about what you are going through and what you should do

JUST DON'T WORRY!!!!!! You could not have alzheimers at 26!

(Q&A) Physics question

Q:-
A rectangular block of ice 6 m on each side and 1.1 m thick floats in sea water. The density of the sea water is 1025 kg/m3. The density of ice is 917 kg/m3.



a) How high does the top of the ice block float above the water level?

m
5.3678 NO

HELP: Use Archimedes' Priciple.
HELP: The buoyant force of the water must balance the weight of the ice.

b) How many penguins of mass 24 kg each can stand on the ice block before they get their feet wet?

A:-
a. The fraction of the ice that is submerged in water is: 917/1025.
Thus, the height submerged is: (917/1025)*1.1.
Thus, the distance from the top of the ice floats to the water is: 1.1-(submerged height)

b. #penguins = (1025-917)/24

Do rabbits eat their young?

Q:-
I have a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit she is only 5 months and I found out that she is expecting babies. I am wondering if their is a chance that she might eat them. Do rabbits eat their young's? If so, how can I prevent that?

A:-
Hi....I've been raising and showing rabbits for 10 years. They do sometimes kill and eat their babies. But it does not happen very often, in my 10 years of experience I have only had it happen twice and it was the same doe (female rabbit) both times. This is probably the least of your concerns though. Your rabbit is a little bit young to have babies, but I would say she will be fine (does this mean she is with other rabbits now? If so she needs to be separated). The worst thing is that first time mothers almost always are unsure of what to do and do not take care of their babies or have them outside the nestbox. But if you check on her every few hours then you should be able to save them if they are born outside the nest box. Make sure you give her a nestbox a couple days before her due date though. Rabbit's gestation period (length of time they are pregnant) is 28-32 days. The nestbox I have found to be the best can be bought at Tracor Supply and is metal with a removable wood floor, for cleaning. Put about a 2 inch layer of sawdust (pine, not cedar) across the bottom of the box along with a handful of straw (not hay, hay is what they eat and straw is bedding) in the box and a couple more handfuls outside the box so that she can carry more in to build her nest if she chooses. She will then line the nest with her fur and should have them with 24-48 hours and most likely at night. Just be sure to keep her area pretty quiet. Hope this helps and please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have. Especially if there are any complications with them after they are born, I would be glad to help you in any way possible.
P.S. Touching them will not make her eat them, just remove her from the cage before messing with the babies as that can stress her out some. It is not true that your scent on them will affect her taking care of them at all though. Check on each one to make sure it is ok after they are born and contintue to do so each day after.

(Q&A) What is a good way to temporarilly dye hair for a week?

Q:-
I want to dye my hair for 3 days to a week. How can I do this easily and cheaply?

A:-
go to the salon and ask for a TEMPORARY color. The molecules in the color don't penetrate into the hair and because they're on the outside of the hair they will only last a certain number of shampoos. Do not use a semi-perminent color because 1/2 of the molecules go into the hair and will stay.

I speak from experience.

Or just go to the drug store and get the halloween hair spray that has color in it or get hair mascara.
