What does Matthew 4 verse 4 mean?

The phrase "Man shall not live by bread alone" is today a common expression meaning that people need more than material things to truly live. However, it is also sometimes used in almost the opposite sense to justify material luxuries beyond simple things like bread.

Sam Bankman-Fried, who once ran one of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchanges, has been found guilty of fraud and money laundering at the end of a month-long trial in New York.

The jury delivered its verdict at the end of its first day of deliberations.

It concludes a stunning fall from grace for Bankman-Fried, a former billionaire and one of the most public faces of the crypto industry.

The 31-year-old was arrested last year after his firm, FTX, went bankrupt.

He now faces decades in prison.

Prosecutors had accused him of lying to investors and lenders and stealing billions of dollars from cryptocurrency exchange FTX, helping to precipitate its collapse. They charged him with seven counts of fraud and money laundering.

He pleaded not guilty, maintaining that, while he had made mistakes, he had acted in good faith.

But the case went against him from the beginning, after three of his former close friends and colleagues, including ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison, pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against him in hopes of reducing their own sentences.

They are to be sentenced at a later date.

Noel Edmonds has been accused of 'colonising' an idyllic New Zealand village after purchasing 12 properties worth £15million and opening a pub called The B*gger Inn in the area home to just 2,500 people.

The UK television star, best known for Noel's House Party and presenting Deal or No Deal, moved Down Under in 2019 with his wife Liz.

He has since bought 12 properties with a total landmass of 270 hectares worth almost £15million, the Times reports, most of which are based in or around the village of Ngatimoti, located 26 miles to the west of Nelson on South Island.

Mr Edmonds has brought a corner of England to the area complete with a restaurant, shop, coffee house and The B*gger Inn on his River Haven estate.

He says he is trying to assimilate into the community and has made local donations, recently paying the village school's £3,000 bill for traffic management during this year's festival.

Colombia is to cull some of the 166 hippos descended from a herd owned by drug lord Pablo Escobar in the 1980s.

Environment Minister Susana Muhamad said that 20 would be sterilised, others would be transferred abroad - and "some" would be euthanised.

Experts have for years tried to control the hippo numbers.

Escobar imported the animals for his private zoo at Hacienda Nápoles. They were left to roam after he was killed in a shootout with police in 1993.

Authorities have tried various approaches to curb the population explosion in Colombia's main river, the Magdalena, including sterilisation and transferring individuals to zoos abroad.

Efforts failed to contain the herd's growth, however, with a lack of predators and the fertile and swampy Antioquia region providing perfect conditions for the native African animal to thrive.

Their fate was sealed when hippos were declared an invasive species last year, opening the door to a cull.

"We are working on the protocol for the export of the animals," Ms Muhamad was quoted as saying by local media.

"We are not going to export a single animal if there is no authorisation from the environmental authority of the other country."

She said the ministry was creating a protocol for euthanasia as a last resort.

Horsham

posted on 3/11/23

Seventh-tier Horsham earned an FA Cup first-round replay with League One side Barnsley after a thrilling six-goal draw at Oakwell.

The Tykes were ahead early on when Max Watters powered in a header from Jamie McCart's corner, but the Hornets levelled when Daniel Ajakaiye played in Shamir Fenelon to finish in style.

Horsham then stunned the hosts when James Hammond hammered home a penalty kick after Corey O'Keeffe brought down Ajakaiye, but Barnsley's Fabio Jalo curled a stunning equaliser into the top corner on the stroke of half-time.

Barnsley went back in front when Mael de Gevigney glanced home O'Keefe's corner and they wasted a host of chances before Tom Richards tapped in for the visitors following a lightning break from Jack Strange.

The two sides will meet again in Sussex on Tuesday, 14 November.

Horsham had never beaten a Football League side in their four previous trips to the first round proper, but Dominic di Paola's side will have another chance to do so as they look to reach the second round for only the second time in their 142-year history.

England's World Cup defence is over after old rivals Australia added the final nail with a 33-run victory in Ahmedabad.

England were already all-but out, but a fifth miserable defeat in succession and sixth in total ended any hope of a freak turnaround.

They did well to bowl out Australia for 286 and showed some fight with the bat, but were still dismissed for 253.

Jonny Bairstow was caught down the leg side off the first ball of the chase and Joe Root followed for 13, leaving Ben Stokes to play a lone hand as he threatened another special knock.

But, just as he began to move through the gears, Australia's greatest tormentor in recent years was tamely caught off leg-spinner Adam Zampa for 64 from 90 balls.

Chris Woakes threatened the unlikely late on but his 32 only delayed the inevitable as England were dismissed in the penultimate over.

Defeat leaves England bottom of the table with two matches still to play - first against the Netherlands on Wednesday, before their tournament concludes against Pakistan on Saturday.

Their attention now turns to attempting to avoid the embarrassment of failing to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy by finishing outside the top eight in India.

Meanwhile, Australia are on the brink of securing their semi-final place and move on buoyed having ended the reign of their Ashes foes.

A ewe that was dubbed Britain's loneliest sheep has been rescued from a remote shore in the Scottish Highlands.

The sheep, now named Fiona, had been stranded at the foot of cliffs on the Cromarty Firth for at least two years.

An animal welfare charity had said any attempts to rescue her would be "incredibly complex".

But a group of five farmers have now managed to haul her up a steep slope. They plan to shear her overgrown fleece and hand her over to a farm park.

The rescue mission was organised by Cammy Wilson, a sheep shearer from Ayrshire, after seeing media coverage of the ewe's plight.

Mr Wilson, who is a presenter on the BBC's Landward programme, organised the rescue in a personal capacity along with four others.

Speaking in the video posted on Facebook, he said: "We've come up here with some heavy equipment and we've got this sheep up an incredibly steep slope.

"She's in incredible condition. She is about a condition score of about 4.5, she is overfat - it was some job lifting her up that slope.

"She is going to a very special place that a lot of you know very well, where you'll be able to see her virtually every day."

Witney Town F.C. (known at various times as Witney F.C., Witney United F.C. and Witney Town A.F.C.) was a football club in Witney, Oxfordshire. The club was founded in 1885 (as Witney Football Club) and adopted the name Witney Town in 1922. The club's most successful period was in the 1970s and 80s when they competed in the Southern League Premier Division, finishing 5th in 1983–84. The club folded in 2001, but a phoenix club arose under the name Witney United in 2002 and obtained the lease of the former club's ground. The club readopted the Witney Town name in 2011, but was dissolved during the 2012–13 season while playing in the Hellenic League Premier Division.
