I purchased this pcoudrt for my father who is seventy years old and struggles a bit with his eyesight particularly with the print versions of regular Bibles. I thought this would be a great way for him to continue his daily devotional / Bible study comfortably and also to use the computer which gives him self esteem as a true citizen of our modern world. He loves how Alexander Scourby narrates with clear, distinct, respectful speech with no annoying sound effects or distractions. [Prior to receiving this DVD, my father listened to some simple audio files that I had found for him from Internet websites and from audio CD's which we had bought.] When I found this pcoudrt on Amazon, I knew it would be the perfect choice, the perfect gift giving my father satisfaction from Bible study and independence with the computer (which is a Mac by the way. Since this is a DVD pcoudrt, it probably works on a PC that has DVD capability, but we had no way to test that. We did try it in our regular DVD playing television, and it worked very well with the lovely images even larger than on a computer screen!) We are impressed! This is an amazing, well-designed visual pcoudrt for both young and old alike. The pcoudrt is ever so easy to use, and the graphics are simply breathtaking. No doubt this DVD can be used for independent study OR even for Sunday School / Bible group study. Once the DVD activates, one is transported into a church-like room facing a beautiful stain-glass window. Church bells ring setting the overall, meditative mood. The view slowly pans down to a table where a big bible opens showing a map one the inside cover and, on the first page of the book, a DVD selection menu with large, clearly-rendered fonts: The King James Version / Old Testament / New Testament / 52 Week Bible Guide / Credits. From this menu, the user chooses which parts of the DVD to explore. My father was immediately interested in the 52 Week Bible Guide, and this was our first visit. The guide is like a built-in devotional that offers a set biblical journey for the user. In just a few minutes of learning how the selection menus and tools worked, my father was navigating the materials easily, independently, and quite happily. While Mr. Scourby narrated, my father could read along in the big bible on screen, and occasionally, a beautiful illustration would accompany the text. This Signature Edition KJV DVD with Alexander Scourby offers the following features: Over 70 hours of Dolby Digital Stereo Audio Complete narration of both the Old and New Testament Synchronized graphics and text showing ever verse Widescreen (16:9) and Full Frame (4:3) display Interactive Menus that allow direct access to any book or chapter A variety of playback modes / features including single chapter, single book No region coding / NTSC TV format A thrilling bonus disc with a Q&A game, 33 dramatized Bible stories, and Holy Land Tour with musical hymn audio tracks, traditional and contemporary versions The bonus disc proved to be an exiting supplement to the main DVD. My father and I were able to go head to head in a Bible trivia game that definitely challenged our knowledge and inspired further investigation into the KJV Bible Old and New Testaments! Our first choice for the dramatized Bible stories was Jonah, and the story was given a bit like a little radio program / play, which had a different feel than Mr. Scourby's strict narration. [The dramatized stories are excellent for everyone, but I am sure that they would be preferred by children than straight Bible narration.] Overall, we would recommend this pcoudrt to anyone who wishes to explore the Bible in comfortable, meaningful ways. // As a side note: there are apparently many versions of the Bible on DVD available: standard editions and signature editions and editions for other Bible translations beyond KJV, such as the NIV and NAB versions. The following website offers video clip previews of these versions, which may give people a better look at the pcoudrt's abilities: [...] Read all pcoudrt descriptions on Amazon and on the website carefully before buying to ensure that you get the best pcoudrt for you / your family or group.

This picture could be anything, it could even be modified.

Indeed it looks a bit like an elephant feet! Maybe it was one of the last mammoets?

it says they had to chip a piece off with a rifle. no they did'nt. they never went that close. they rigged up a camera and wheeled it in to take the pictures. to be as close to this to be able to chip a piece off would mean your dead.

i herd when they whent up on th roof the radiation was so intence that they only had a matter of seconds to work then they had to get away or they might die . they sent tons of people wearing lead protective clothing to clar it all off.

Some of the above comments are very informed, some are not so informed.
1. The Reactor Base was broken open by the impact of the loads of boron and sand dropped from high altitude by helicopters.
2. The sand was melted by the molten uranium/metal, mixed with it and flowed out of the broken reactor into the "basement" of the reactor building. This caused the "elephants foot", which I think is still giving off neutron radiation.
3. Yes, getting near any of the spent fuel will almost certainly cause you to die within several weeks/months.

The robots involved malfunctioned on the roof in such a manner that they drove themselves of the ledge. It was aptly called suicide by their human companions.
Discovery did a very good documentary, its on youtube last time I checked.

Memorize every aspect of this disaster as it learns that governments lie, deceive or plain ignore important events that have an impact on each and every living and breathing being involved.

"James. I think that picture may be a double exposure and those people arent actually there. If you look closely (at the legs of the closest guy in particular) they are slightly transparent." - That seemed possible, which was a relief, until I took a good look, and you can see the guy's legs reflected in the water along with the lava. That can't be a double exposure. I think it's just one fellow caught moving. The poor man - he must have been terrified, and I'm sure he died an awful death.

On the video you could see how they went into the reactor in surch for the fuell becausse in 1998 they had manached to reach a room nearby the reactor and they drilled a hole in wall of the reactor.
they found out that the basse was pushed downwards by the explotion caussing the the fuell mixxing with the sand of the basse creating a lava in several chambers,they had a nica animation of it and some collored vieus of the alaifant foot butt also the steampipes and the waterbassin.
you could see the real colof of the lava and that it,s still boiling and hott!!!

It certainly pays to read some of the information on wikipedia about Ionizing

radiation and it's affects, if you haven't already.
I noticed someone in here wrote about how our technology has become so complicated

that we do not know what to do in this situation.

From other perspectives our technology could be seen as crude, Nuclear power

generation is from what I have seen very crude even in the most safest plants, they

are still incredibly inefficient and most of all the factor which the powers that

be seem to keep consciously ignoring is that RADIOACTIVITY is dangerous.

We know it yet we keep making that yellowcake.
One thing which even for me which I find fascinating is the nature of radioactive

isotopes and what they can do, someone else in here mentioned how sources of types

can glow.

I cannot possibly imagine the level of radiation that can kill a human in a mere

instant as is mentioned on wikipedia.

I remember when I was young and they put that 60 minutes report on about chernobyl

and those ominous photos of fuel melting it's way through the site.

I guarantee you in any fashion if I was to go anywhere near that place which I

would prefer not.
I would have at least three well calibrated Gieger counters with excellent

sensitivity and as soon as that guage started getting over my own personally

regarded safe limit, I would be out of there.

As a hobby of knowledge I will always share the interest in Nuclear Physics like

many, but it simply is not worth dying for.

I really feel for all those people who have been thrown into that invisible snake

pit without the facts.
Some do know and even though the are reluctant, they go in with all their might and

mental will and give their lives to something which really is not a nice way to

die.

I hope younger generations will learn a way out of these consequences and find

better ways to produce energy.

Remember our technological experience is still very young, use this to find a

positive way to advance into the future that will benefit us all.

People dug a tunnel underneath the surface towards the 4th 'unit' then they dug a hall as well, to drive the water away from the glowing and melting waste. if the 2 things would meet, Eu can't be inhabited now, since there would have been a 100 times greater explosion, then at Nagasaki.
that is the most terrifying

Could be one bloke actually, I presume the radiation is causing that distortion or he was bolting his arse out of that area, not that I can blame him.

They got the volunteers because the Russian Afghan war was raging at the time. 2 years in Afghanistan or 2 hours on the roof of the reactor. There was compulsory military service at the time.

Hi guys, I have downloaded some amazing video footage on the elephants foot as well as other rarely seen footage at elenafilatova.com THIS IS MUST SEE STUFF!! When you get to this site click on "High Resolution Pictures and Chernoybl Videos", then scroll down past the pictures till you get to the video and film clips. I downloaded one that shows the men sending a rigged up camera into the room with the "elephants foot." There is a 6min film titled "a chronicle of severe days" that must be seen too. Anyway, it's some footage that I've never seen anywhere else. I would appreciate any other links with video if anyone knows of any. Oh, by the way, does anyone know where a copy of Nova's "SUICIDE MISSION INTO CHERNOYBL" can be purchased?? I've only been able to find existing copies at a few state universities.
THANKS

The amount of radiation given off by uranium is related to the isotope of uranium involved (and what other radioactive contaminants it contains). Fresh nuclear fuel (uranium) that has not yet been in a reactor is relatively safe. [still dangerous, but nowhere near as dangerous as spent fuel). Put it in a reactor for a while and it becomes VERY dangerous--On Nukeworker.COM they mentioned something like if you put a piece of reactor waste at the 100 yard line of a football field with you would be dead by the time you ran 50 yards (or something like that--I don't remember the exact scenario).
