"What is a man that you have regard for and what is a human that you have consideration for? Man is like a mist. His days are like a passing shadow. In the morning he shines and then he is gone; by the evening he fades and withers. You cause man to revert to dust. Were we wise we would understand his destiny. In his passing he does not take everything; his honor will not follow after him. Mark the innocent and behold the righteous for they shall have peace."

In the (undated) documentary The Naked Truth, Jordan Maxwell contends that the etymology of the word Israel was such that Israel was essentially an acronym derived from the names of three deities ( Isis, Ra and El). Can anyone disprove or substantiate that claim? Does anyone know the actual etymology of the word "Israel"? I have looked at Israel, but as of this writing it doesn't contain a detailed etymology. The claim is made by Maxwell at 1:18:07 into this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6410112404402873027

I have long since believed that the name for the modern state of Israel was partly due to the English PM Disraeli, a zionist. but this may be erronious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.161.223 ( talk • contribs) 15:22, 5 February 2007
There is the possibility that Gnostics used the term "Israel" in the exact way Maxwell assumes. The original word "Y'israel" is probably more literally correct, but many Gnostic societies use these combinations in their pantheons. One example Jahbulon, which contains "Yah" (Yahweh) "Ba'al" (from the Canaanites) and "On" (from Egypt). I think it boils down to interpretations and perspective. I don't have a lot of faith in mainstream history, so I generally am open to lots of things.

Sir,
Please let me know in my e mail address (redacted to prevent spam) the answer for the following.
I have one customer who owe me some money, which is a part of my major revenue. To the same customer I owe some money too. Can it be set off against each other by assuming the payments?
What shall be my accounting entry in this case.
Thanks & Regards

You shouldn't net off the income and expenditure items in your income statement/profit and loss account. As for the balance sheet, it really depends on whether there is a legal right of set off or not. You can only net them off if there is. jguk 12:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I have what I hope is a very simple question. I am trying to print out pages and two things are happening. First problem is the page is not print friendly and the text (etc.) sometimes is cut off in the right side of the page even when i use the print tab on the left. Second problem is when I do print a page out the links on the page print out with the address next to them.
Thanks Douglas
