quarries, mills and factories; cads and dads

Judges 3
kjv

民長紀:Chapter 3
24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
24他出去之後,王臣前來,看見涼台的房門關著,就說:「他一定在涼台上的內室裡便溺。」


26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
26在他們猶豫的時候,厄胡得已經逃走,繞過柱像,而逃往色依辣。






Cads and dads seem to be specific biological types. And there are female equivalents of both, according to a new research paperhttp://econ.st/1yQtRK5

RECEIVED wisdom and biological theory both have it that males are (or, at least, would like to be) more promiscuous than females. That does not stop a lot of men settling down happily...
ECON.ST





China’s new toughness on polluting quarries, mills and factories coincides with an economic slowdown that will make it harder to create new jobs for those laid off. Slower growth is in line with the government’s efforts to curb wasteful investment, and with it a dangerous build-up of debt. The slowdown also happens to be helpful in curtailing pollution http://econ.st/1zl5FTP
中國的新的強硬態度對污染採石場、 作坊和工廠符合將很難創造新就業機會對於那些下崗的經濟放緩。經濟增長放緩是債務的配合政府的努力遏制投資浪費,並且與它危險積累。經濟放緩碰巧也是有助於減少污染
