Reception of new members by Transfer/Profession of Faith
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
When our Lord God delivered His Ten Commandments He didn't do so in a vacuum. They must be received in the entire context of the call of Moses, the plagues, the Exodus, the miracle at the Red Sea, the water and manna and quail. It was God who did all these things on behalf of His people, not on account of their goodness, but according to His great mercy.
Thus He calls them to Himself at Mount Sinai and God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." He grounds the commandments in that historical act of redemption. They have their origin in His own essence. Thus the Law is good and right and holy because it is the holy will of God, who alone is good and right and holy. And a holy God calls to Himself a people, whom He makes holy by His Word and Spirit.
The Ten Commandments establish a kind of constitutional monarchy. Our God is not a tyrant. He could be. It is not wrong to speak of Him as sovereign, though we ought to be careful about pressing that too far. But He is not a tyrant. He is the Lord and He is our God. He ties Himself to the Law. He is not above it. And He gives it as His holy will for the ordering of the holy lives of His holy people.
How this actually works in your daily life is where the difficulty lies. We are Lutheran. We understand that there is at least a distinction between Law and Gospel. But how this plays itself out is easier said than done. Dr Luther once quipped that one who could rightly divide Law and Gospel is worthy of being called a doctor of the Church. By this he meant there are no doctors of the Church! Including himself.
We have all memorized the Ten Commandments. We had to. How well we remember them remains to be seen. But they are still important, 40, 50, or even 60 years after confirmation; as we'll hear in a few moments at the Reaffirmation of Faith of six adults. A six year old can recite the Ten Commandments and comprehend their meaning. And we ought consider this and take it seriously.
But it is in the school of experience and by the work of the Holy Spirit, that they begin to take their full effect. We soon learn that we have broken them all, repeatedly. Likely none have taken a life in cold blood, but assuredly we have not kept our hearts from anger and our lips from slander. Our righteousness most certainly does not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, not even close. Our Lord called them white washed tombs! What does that say of us?
Our holy God's gift of His holy Law is for our good. They call us to repentance; to despair of our own righteousness and seek a whole other kind of righteousness – one manifest apart from the Law, though the Law points to it.
But here is an aspect of the Ten Commandments most of us did not learn: they are not imperatives. Well, they are, but not only. There is an ambiguity in the Hebrew language of the Ten Words. We usually read them, and we certainly keep them in our heads and hearts, as moral imperatives, as rules and commands. And they are. But they are also indicatives. Now if we have forgotten the Ten Commandments, likely we have forgotten ninth grade English, too. An indicative is a statement of fact, a description.
The Ten Words of God begin with His redemptive promise – I am the Lord your God who rescued and redeemed – and they continue with a description of His holy people: You will have no other gods than Me, the one, true God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who called you out of slavery and rescued you from death. You will not take My Name in vain; the Name with which I have marked you as My people, holy as I am holy, imputing to you My righteousness. You will honor preaching and My Word. You will not kill. You will not steal. You will not lie. You will not covet.
And here we see the difficulty of applying the proper distinction of Law and Gospel. None of us deserve to be called doctors! In our fallen state, our Old Adam hears the commandments as just that – as rules. He hears them as a checklist that he can keep for God's good favor. But the adequate completion of the chore list you give your kids doesn't make them your kids! Rather, as your children, as members of your household, they will make their beds, they will take out the trash, they will clean up their toys. When they don't they disappoint mom and dad and they feel guilty about it.
God has given His description of us as His sons and daughters in His Law. We have not lived up to that description. If we deny that, if we attempt to excuse ourselves, to relax one of the least of these commandments, we make God a liar. His holy Word, His Law and His Prophets, remain to call us to return to Him in repentance and faith. And they direct us to a whole other kind of righteousness that exists outside of the Law; a righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, and must therefore be a righteousness that is not our own.
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, says Jesus; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. As the Law and the Prophets are the holy Word of a holy God, and have their origin in Him, so too do they have their fulfillment in Him.
When Jesus delivered His Sermon on the Mount, He didn't do so in a vacuum. It must be understood in the wider context of His incarnation, baptism and fasting, His cross and passion, suffering and death, His resurrection and ascension. The Word of the Lord did not take up flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary to do away with the Old Testament. He came in the flesh to fulfill it! He came in the flesh to redeem His people from bondage to sin, to bring them out of the house of slavery to death and the devil. And He grounds His holy Gospel in the historical act of your redemption – His Cross!
Jesus is not a tyrant. He is our Lord and our God. And upon the cross He completes in His flesh all the Law and the Prophets. For He is the Word of God and He is His only Son. The description of that is the Ten Commandments do not rightly fit us, not if we are honest with ourselves. But they do describe Jesus. He feared, loved, and trusted in God His Father above all things. He called upon His Name in every trouble, prayed, praised, and gave thanks. He gave highest honor to preaching and the Word. Not only did He not kill, but He was never angry, never insulted, never said, "You fool!" He kept the Law. The Ten Words describe Him. His righteousness exceeded that of the scribes and Pharisees.
But for you, He went down into the hell of fire. He endured the punishment the breakers of the Law deserve. He is the perfect gift offered on the Altar of the Cross, by which you have been reconciled to the Father.
The death He died, He died to sin, once for all. And He was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father. There is now no one to accuse you - not the Law, not the devil, not your conscience. In seeking to murder Jesus they spent themselves at the Cross; they are ones who are who are dead. Your debt has been paid, down to the last penny. And for you there is no judgment.
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? You have died to sin. Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We where buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
You have been set free from sin, set free from the Law. But it has not been abolished. It remains, though not as imperatives or commands. It remains as a description of what sort of people you ought to be in lives of holiness and godliness (2 Pt 3:11). Jesus preaches His sermon to His Church, that is, to you, who have died with Him and also live with Him; a holy people gathered by a holy God called to live holy lives.
And this newness of life in which you walk looks like the Ten Words. It is a life lived not for yourself and certainly not for God, but for your neighbor, your brother. You are sons and daughters of your heavenly Father, not by your goodness, but according to His great mercy and love for you. You will help and support your neighbor in every physical need. You will help him to improve and protect his possessions and income. You will defend him, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way. You will let go of grudges and anger and hatred. You will be reconciled to one another even as God has reconciled you to Himself in the death and resurrection of His Son.
These are the commandments of Jesus. And they are not burdensome (1 Jn 5:3). It is, in fact, the preaching of His Gospel, which is the free forgiveness of all your sins, the bestowal of a righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, a righteousness apart from the Law that comes by faith in Christ. Your old self was crucified with Christ. You are no longer enslaved to sin; but servants of righteousness. Consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
In the Name of the Father and + of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

RAY MATHIAS has sent his players to finishing school.
Tranmere's poor form in front of goal is leaving them lagging behind the Second Division's early pacesetters.
Following Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday, Rovers have now gone five matches without a win.
Yesterday's training session centred heavily on finishing after a number of missed chances scuppered Tranmere's hopes of leaving Hillsborough with a result.
Mathias (pictured) said: "Our chances have not been going in at the moment. We have done a lot of work on finishing in training and we will continue doing it through the week. The lads worked hard. It was a very productive session.
"Everybody has been involved. Fullbacks get into forward positions and centre-halves go up for corners. Things can happen around the box and it's important they have the sharpness."
With main striker Simon Haworth out of form, Rovers have been struggling of late to score more than a goal a game. Eugene Dadi is suspended for the next three matches, but Mathias wi l l not be looking to bring in sh or t- term striker cover.
The manager added: "We will go with what we have. We have Alex Hay who can play up front. Iain Hume can play up there and Ryan Taylor can come in as well."
* FANS are furious that no first team stars attended the Player of the Year Awards organised by the Tranmere Rovers Supporters Association.
The club only sent youngsters Jamie Maguire and Paul Linwood to Saturday's night's ceremony held at the club.
TRSA chairman Andy Doyle said: "The supporters feel completely let down. We did not receive any verbal communication or correspondence from the club asking us to change the date or inform us that the players were not attending. If we had known, we would have changed because it would have been beneficial to us to have the players there."
Mathias added: "With the players having been away since Friday morning it was a lot to ask of them to go straight to the event after getting off the coach from Sheffield.
"The supporters are vitally important to us and it's an honour for the players to go to supporters' events. Had the event been during the week then it would certainly have not been a problem."

Third party logistics companies act as intermediaries between business owners and consumers. Whether your business is a brick and motor or online, you may need 3PL's for fulfilments. For the website based businesses, 3PL's are needed to fulfil the following roles.
Picking of goods from warehouses
Storing inventory.
A 3PL saves on time and money. As a small business owner, you are spared of expenses that might be incurred on a personal basis while fulfilling orders. Furthermore, 3PL's provide a competitive delivery option that perfectly fit into the budgets of most online businesses.
Common e-commerce websites like Amazon and eBay have allied 3PL's to perform the above-mentioned roles. For instance, Amazon has Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) to carry out picking, packing and shipping of its products.
How do 3PL's work?
Once you set up your e-commerce website, you will need to outsource some services to support the operations of your business. Assuming you operate internationally, you will have to make shipments all over the world. In addition, you also need to store inventory by keeping track of the flow of goods to and from your warehouses.
The nature of online businesses makes it quite difficult to manage customers effectively. While there are online ERP systems that can do this work, 3PL's are most preferred in this kind of environment. 3PL's are tasked with ensuring that both the business and customers are satisfied. They collect a return on behalf of businesses.
How to Choose a 3PL Company
Most renowned online businesses already have notable 3PL companies to manage their shipments and inventory. However, as an upcoming seller, you need to identify which 3PL company will best serve your needs, while the services of 3 PL's may be generalized, individual 3PL's provide different packages to suit businesses' needs. Here are some factors to consider.
Prices- this is mostly based on the size of your products and how valuable they are. Depending on the value of your products, you should consider contracting a 3PL that will charge proportionally to the value of products.
Warehousing- Do you need warehousing services? Again this will determine if you have to pay for costs like picking and inventory management.
Returns- Some 3PL's provide services that include management of returns. As an upcoming business, this should be an excellent place to start managing your cash inflows.
Customer care support- Customers are always bound to raise inquiries concerning some aspects of the products they are buying. Some 3PL's perform the role of responding to queries. Depending on your business structure, you should consider if you need a 3PL to do this.
A 3PL is an important part of any online business. It sometimes acts as the intermediary between that business, the e-commerce platform and the customer. The above mentioned factors will determine if you need a 3PL to play the intermediary role.

The SDGs can help to eliminate intergenerational poverty and inequality in Africa
The 10th African Economic Conference (AEC), held in Kinshasa, included a session entitled "Intergenerational Poverty and Inequality in Africa". A case study presented during this session revealed that attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September 2015, may have a significant impact on eliminating intergenerational poverty and inequality in Africa.
Sylvain Maliko, Resident Representative of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and chair of the session, set the tone with his initial address. "The health of the population, and the well-being of mothers and children, could – and indeed should – help to break the poverty transmission cycle from generation to generation," he explained. "The continent's leaders must prioritise attainment of SDG 3, relating to health and well-being. Many of the diseases that affect children and, in some cases, impact the rest of their lives can be prevented through vaccination."
Pouirkèta Rita Nikiema, an economist from Burkina Faso, presented the results of a research project entitled "Impact of School Resources on Educational Outcomes: Evidence from school dry cereals in Burkina Faso". This project, based on an initiative by NGO Catholic Relief Services (CRS), was intended to encourage parents to send their children – and especially girls – to school. The study revealed that food provision in educational settings can help to increase the number of children attending school, especially in arid regions where poverty is widespread. According to Nikiema, the project, which involved experimental programmes in the Bam and Sanmatenga provinces, pushed up school attendance and reduced the school drop-out rate. The NGO's simple strategy involved providing a meal to all pupils at schools with an enrolment rate of 40% or more among girls. Where this rate fell below 30%, girls were given a ration of cereals in addition to their meal, which they then took home with them. She explained that these cereals provided a guaranteed meal and further encouraged families to send their children to school rather than keeping them at home and involving them in income-generating activities.
The programme, which ran from 2012 to 2014, increased the school enrolment rate by 6% among girls and 8% among boys. "Attending school helps those children living in the provinces covered by the project to break the endemic cycle of intergenerational poverty," she added.
Jacob Novignon, from the Economics Department at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, presented a study entitled "Household Income inequality in Ghana: a decomposition analysis". The findings of the study revealed that 44% of the poorest households are located in rural areas. Agricultural income is falling as a result of climate change, and rural populations are therefore turning away from farming. One of the few ways to help reduce inequalities is to transfer money to these populations, which have remained loyal to their villages.
According to the young researcher, the authorities need to introduce new policies to boost agricultural income, for example by providing fertilisers, offering micro-loans and assigning engineers to advise farmers on the best ways to deal with climate change.
In his paper entitled "Small Area Estimation of Poverty in Ethiopia", young researcher Yegnanew A. Shiferaw focused on the fact that national statistical averages hide the actual poverty situation in Ethiopia, with dramatic realities in some regions of the country. According to the findings of a household consumption survey conducted in 2010-2011, 38% of Ethiopians live below the poverty line. However, Shiferaw stressed that this national average fails to reflect widespread poverty in certain provinces. He argued that dedicated policies are needed to ensure that these areas benefit from progress made under the SDGs.

Some businesses in Asia may still be sceptical about the potential of the comparitavely new big data market. Moreover, the complexities of implementing Big Data often led to senior decision makers pushing the idea of using big data analytics to the back of their mind. While there are many myths surrounding big data, here's a simple eBook with insights from industry leaders such as 8 Securities, AIMIA, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Leaderboarded, National Library Board, QlikView, SDL, Speciality Fashion Group, Splunk and Tableau Software on big data trends that are expected to surface in the next few years. Hopefully these insights will give sceptical businesses compelling reasons to take action on Big Data usage now.
Download the eBook on Big Data's future here.
Here are five big opportunities identified within:
- We will see more enterprises really start to leverage big data in their CRM systems and for their marketing activities
- Decisions made based on analytics will yield better decisions
- Big data is going to see many technology organisations coming up with Big Data offerings, e.g. CRM, loyalty programs, trending analysis. It is going to bring in a new spectrum of analysis for organsisations to become more effective and efficient in data analysis
- Organisations can learn about prospective customers and gain market share using big data
- Case studies have shown that 70 per cent of the data generated every year comes from user-generated data; this is an opportunity for Big Data users
Download the eBook on Big Data's future here.
As mentioned earlier, while Asia is still picking up its pace on big data, there is definitely a lot of potential for businesses in the region to tap on these opportunities and gain their competitive edge. To learn more about the ways Big Data can be leveraged for businesses to develop more customer-centric strategies, Big Data World Asia 2013 is the event to look out for in September.[Image: infocux Technologies – Flikr]

World Editors Forum
WEF was originally going to take place in Lebanon, but was cancelled for financial reasons at the last minute (all kinds of security and sponsorship issues). But Hamburg turned out to be a better place for 600 newspaper editors to have a series of very interesting discussions on where publishing, especially news journalism, is heading. I see a widening gap between those titles which embrace and integrate the web and those still holding out. Surprisingly, that seems to be many European countries. The experiments with hyperlocal blogs seem to be the most advanced in Poland and Brazil.

Picture: Roseanne Barr, son Buck Barr Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr held at Hollywood Palladium Hollywood, California - 04.08.12
Network bosses at Comedy Central in the U.S. have opted to axe a joke funnyman Jeff Ross made about the Colorado cinema massacre from the upcoming Roseanne Barr roast.
Ross poked fun at fellow roast guest Seth Green by suggesting he looked like suspect James Holmes during his appearance on the pre-taped comedy show - but the gag didn't go down well with TV executives.
And when the roast airs on 12 August (12), his ill-advised humour will be cut.
Ross also joked, "I'm kidding, you are not like James Holmes. At least he did something in a movie theatre that people remember!"
He isn't the first comic to time a gag about last month's (Jul12) massacre all wrong - Dane Cook apologised after joking about the tragedy during a stand-up show in Los Angeles a week after Holmes' alleged actions claimed the lives of 12 film fans.
Brant Pindivic has never been interested in joining the Facebook furore - and is reluctant...

About our Famed North Hollywood Recording Studio
Magical comes to mind—but you'd have to know our history. Metallica's Black Album, the group's best-selling record in the last 25 years, was recorded within the walls of this fabled North Hollywood recording studio. The Grey Room, producer extraordinaire Richard Landis' replica of his home studio: We've got it. Mix in some pivotal modernization and you get a rare synthesis of method, style and function that is the soul of 17 Hertz.
But 17 Hertz isn't just about history, and it's not simply a haven for legendary artists. It's much more than that. In fact, 17 Hertz is arguably the most revolutionary recording space in the world. Here we forgo the traditional hourly charges in favor of an affordable subscription-based model. We have the best equipment in the world, and yet our commitment is not to the machinery, but to the customer. We want to do whatever it takes to make you happy, and to help you realize your musical dreams. Don't think of us as a recording studio; think of us as a vibrant creative community.

At our all-in-one recording complex, any size project is within reach. Extra space to practice and jam 24/7, a nearby dance studio for choreographing—17 Hertz is YOUR full service studio.
Limitless Freedom
For generations, recording artists have been slaves to the clock. With each hour that passes, the investment increases, and so artists are pressured to produce the best product possible in the least amount of time. At 17 Hertz, we play by a different set of rules. Forget the hours, and forget the clocks. Our subscription-based studio reservations allow you to purchase your very own studio by the week or even by the month, and use the space entirely at your leisure. You can't rush musical perfection, and we don't expect you to. Reserve your space, take your time, and record on your own schedule, free from the shackles of traditional studio timelines and limitations. You won't find that kind of freedom anywhere else.
Recording studios in Los Angeles are as ubiquitous as Starbucks coffee and rush hour traffic, but our 10,000 sq. ft. North Hollywood recording studio is in a league by itself. Behold the largest sound system in the city, achieve percussive perfection in the world's best drum room, and most importantly, experience 17 Hertz on your own terms. Choose only the space you need, and use it only as you see fit. Whether your ambition is to record the next Billboard sensation or simply to find a quiet place to gather ideas and conjure musical inspiration, you will feel right at home.

Driver Crashes into Home After Speeding Away From Police
A Libertyville home was damaged when a car struck the side after attempting to elude police.
On Saturday, May 5, police noticed a car traveling at a high rate of speed around 12:30 a.m. on Route 176. The driver managed to dodge the police but officers later found Andrew T. Gregory, 19, still in his car on the 800 block of Valley Park Drive with broad damages to the front-end of the car. His car went off the road and had struck the home.
The Libertyville teen suffered minor injuries from the accident. The residents of the home were inside at the time of the crash but they were not injured. The home suffered structural damage although the extent was not known. Gregory has been charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding, criminal damage to property, two counts of speeding, three counts of disobeying a stop sign, reckless driving and driving too fast for conditions.
Reckless driving can lead to damage not only to the driver and his vehicle but to others as well. If you or a loved one knows someone who has been in an accident with a reckless driver and suffered injuries, call Spiros Law, P.C. at (815) 929-9292 to explore your legal rights.

Situation of smartwatches
Smartwatches is a product that most people do not find interesting at the moment. People write about them a lot though the device is not popular. It is still believed that the development of smartwatches is moving in the right direction, and they will become as important as a smartphone in future.
The "flexibility" factor
Currently there are different issues with smartphones and smartwatches. Something that really needs to be understood is the flexibility. It is something that can really change the design of smart products for a certain period of time. The idea of flexible smart products was considered to be possible when people came to know about graphene. It is an exceptional product that has everything to fix what is wrong with the smart products. It can be used to make a very thin, flexible and long-lasting battery. Before this scientists also started working on flexible screens. Now when there is a hope that both flexible screens and flexible batteries will be possible to manufacture, it will enable companies to make flexible smartphones in the future. Those flexible mobile phones could be folded or rolled up.
The present level of flexibility
So far people have not seen anything like a flexible smartphone though engineers are working to get there. Products like Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex have flexible screens, but they are slightly flexible. The flexibility level of Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex is limited. The objective of their flexibility is to give user a better grip or a better viewing angle. Both of them cannot be bended to any desired level.
Flexible battery
It is impossible to make a flexible smartphone without having a flexible battery. Samsung made an announcement that they have achieved this. It is claimed that this battery remains fully functional even if it is rolled up. However, it does not mean that there will be flexible smartphones in the market soon. The main use of flexible batteries is going to be in a less important gadget that is smartwatches. At the moment smartwatches have a very short battery life, and the situation will be totally different after the addition of flexible batteries.
Present smartwatch
Not long ago, there was a discussion on the advantages of the Pebble Smartwatch. Despite the fact that it has the least features among all the smartwatches available, there is one thing that makes it unique from all others. Its battery will last for at least seven days. Majority of smartwatches usually last for 3 days, and sometimes for 4 days. Sometimes they last for even more than 4 days if the user does not use any of its features for which he has paid a good amount of money. Now Samsung is going to put this flexible battery in the wristband of the smartwatch which will extend the battery life for significant amount of time.
New smartwatch
It can be said that the coming changes in smartwatches will benefit Samsung. Due to longer battery life, companies especially Samsung will sell smartwatches for more than $250. As a result, users will be able to enjoy all features for a longer time.
Future prospects
There are people who like their smartwatches the way they are; however, most people do not buy the device due to short battery life. Time will decide if longer battery life will convince more people to buy a smartwatch.

Derived Hierarchies (Master Data Services)
A derived hierarchy is derived from the domain-based attribute relationships that already exist between entities in a model.
You can create a derived hierarchy to highlight any of the existing domain-based attribute relationships in the model.
In the following example, leaf members of the Product entity are grouped by leaf members of the Subcategory entity, which are then grouped by leaf members of the Category entity. This hierarchy is possible because the Product entity has a domain-based attribute named Subcategory, and the Subcategory entity has a domain-based attribute named Category.
Another domain-based attribute relationship exists between the Product and Color entities. A derived hierarchy can highlight this relationship.
In a derived hierarchy, the entity with the most members is grouped by an entity with fewer members. A derived hierarchy is based on the relationship between multiple entities. An explicit hierarchy, in contrast, is based on members from a single entity only.
You can change the structure of a derived hierarchy without affecting the underlying data. As long as the relationships still exist in the model, deleting a derived hierarchy has no effect on your master data.
In the following example, each product member has a domain-based attribute called Subcategory. Each Subcategory member has a domain-based attribute called Category.
The model structure shows each entity with its domain-based attribute underneath. The hierarchy structure shows how the members are grouped. The entity with the most members is at the bottom.
In a derived hierarchy, you can highlight the relationship between Product and Subcategory, and then between Subcategory and Category. When you view the members in this hierarchy, each level in the tree contains members from the same entity.
This type of hierarchy prevents you from moving a member to a level that is not valid. For example, you can move the Road-650 bike from one subcategory, Road Bikes, to another, Mountain Bikes. You cannot move Road-650 directly under a category, like 1 {Bikes}. Each time you move a member in the hierarchy tree, the member's domain-based attribute value changes to reflect the move.
All members in a derived hierarchy tree are sorted by code. You cannot change the sort order.
If a member's domain-based attribute is blank and the attribute is used for a derived hierarchy, the member is not displayed in the hierarchy. Create business rules to require attributes to be populated. For more information, see How to: Require Attribute Values (Master Data Services).

As Upworthy's preferred video vendor, Green Buzz Agency was brought in to create a series of videos showed the viewers that learning your heritage is empowering. The first step was story producing and casting. Green Buzz Agency's team did extensive research to find true narratives that were inspiring and engaging. When they found Detour, they knew his story would match Upworthy's tone and Ancestry.com's vision.
After learning about his own history, Denver artist Thomas "Detour" Evans ended up being so inspired, he decided to create an art exhibit based on the power of ancestry. He gathered a group of fellow artists and friends in his community to get their DNA tested, and then created portraits of them to illustrate and celebrate their rich, individual lineages. With multiple threads, Detour's story was rich, but it needed to be told in just the right way.
To make sure this happened, our video producer worked with the subject and our clients in order to choose key players to interview during the tight video production schedule. Meanwhile, to highlight Detour's artistic background, multiple vibrant settings were chosen for environmental interviews. The video crew captured time-lapse footage as well; a technique used to draw the audience into Detour's creative process and catch the viewer's eye at the very beginning of the video.
On top of that, the GBA team used their experience creating cohesive videos from multiple video and photo assets to their advantage. In this case, archival footage and photographs were integrated into new film to give the viewer a strong connection to Detour's story and his past. Multiple music tracks were used to signify the slight shift in topics in video, and to add variety for the audience's interest.
Finally, motion graphics were overlaid over the live-action footage in order to illustrate the impact AncestryDNA's product had on the artist and his community project.
Additionally, this video inspired conversations about the use of genetic tests in reclaiming a personal heritage, contributing to Ancestry.com's ultimate goal of changing the perspective on their product.

Determined that the royal family is not seen as extravagant while the nation tightens its belts, the British Queen has ordered her chefs to serve up leftovers from the Christmas feast.
Queen Elizabeth II has also urged grandsons William, 26, and Harry, 24, to keep their winter holidays as 'low-key' as possible.
Obviously, in times of financial downturn, it would be bad publicity for the family if the young royals are seen partying in exclusive London nightclubs or exotic locations.
The 82-year-old monarch has a personal fortune of 320 million pounds (475 million dollars, 355 million euros), according to The Sunday Times newspaper's 2008 Rich List, but is not a spendthrift.
The sovereign has ordered a festive crackdown to acknowledge the credit crunch starting with her Christmas crackers, a media report said.
'The directive has come from the top that the family must be in tune with the rest of the country,' a royal source was quoted as saying by the News of the World. 'She is aware that extravagance would not be welcomed at this time.'
The frugal monarch has axed posh gifts from inside the party favourites. She has also put a 50 pounds limit on all family presents, ordered staff to reuse wrapping, the report said.
In past years, the familys hand-made crackers have contained items like Montblanc gold cuff-links and expensive lighters. But Royal warrant holder Tom Smith, which has made crackers for the monarch for 100 years, has been ordered to use cheaper gifts this year.
The royals plan to gather at the Queen's Norfolk estate for Christmas.

Career and Project Management Templates
Using Project Management Templates in Your Project Career
Would you interested in boosting your Project Management career? Christmas is often the perfect time to reflect back on your Project Management career using your completed Project Management Templates to date and set a new path for the coming years. If you're like to get the most out of your career, then read this newsletter. It will give you tips and tricks on…
Project Management Career Building
A lot people find themselves in Project Management by chance. They were offered a role, took it because it looked like fun and now they're running on "go-go juice" (pure adrenalin) trying to coordinate people, time and money to meet expectations. It's pretty hard scheduling a career around this.
However the Christmas period usually gives people a chance to reflect on the year to date and plan ahead for the following year. So use this time wisely, by reflecting on our advice below…
Dream jobs
Your dream job might be something like "to be a professional soccor player" or "leading climbers up Mount Everest " and it may have nothing to do with project management at all – but by defining your dream job and what it has to offer, you will set the scene for where you are in your career now and will paint a clear picture of the road ahead. It will also help you define where you want to be in 5 years time, which is critical to setting a clear career path.
Long term goals
How will you ever achieve your long term goal if you don't know what it is? Give it a try by thinking about the type of role you want to be doing in 5 years time and what it would involve. For instance, do you want to be a PM high flier, have your own business, an industry expert or to retire? Whatever it is, write down a detailed description of your 5 year goal and what it is about this goal that makes it attractive.
Navel Gazing
Now think about where you are and how that matches your long term goal. How far are you from meeting your goals? List in detail all of the things that are different between your current role and your long term goal. Then prioritize those differences, so you know which are more important to you. For instance, is taking on more challenging projects more important than earning more money?
Take some time to decide how serious you are about achieving your long term goal and what you are prepared to do about it. For instance, if it requires more responsibility, a larger team and more stress, are you really willing to take this on board?
Feel proud about the goal you decided on. Only a fraction of the workforce actually succeed in setting a long term personal goal. Tell others about what you have decided. The more you tell others about what you're going to achieve, the more you will believe that you can achieve it. Self-motivation is critical to a promising career.
Action Plan
It's now time to set out an action plan. Between your current role and your ideal long term role, which interim roles will you need to fulfill? Create your own career plan, by defining each of these roles using project management tools and how they are going to help you to realize your dream.
Describe what it is that you expect to get out of each role (e.g. what you will learn or the types of experience gained) and then add timescales to each role, so you have a plan of attack.
Taking the Plunge
Talk through your plan with your current boss to get their feedback and support. Bounce it off a mentor, friend or colleague. Don't let anyone put you off. If you believe in it yourself and it feels right then stick to it.
Look for opportunities that constantly match your action plan and when you're ready, take the plunge. You will feel more empowered and confident in your abilities, by driving your career yourself. And you'll boost your chances of achieving that dream job.
Note: Most employers require "indepth knowledge and experience in using a Project Management Templates", such as MPMM. So boost your career by purchasing this Project Management Software now.

President Obama is used to making controversial decisions.
On Friday at Nationals Park, he stood strong in the face of 40,000 fans. Or perhaps better put, sat strong?
On hand to watch Stephen Strasburg make his third career start, Obama refused to budge as the rest of the stadium participated in "The Wave."
The president elected to remain seated while the wave passed by, a move that could bolster his approval rating among diehard sports traditionalists.
While the president declined to partake, his oldest daughter Malia seemed more than happy to pick up the slack.
One photographer snapped a picture of the president, who looked to be less-than-thrilled to be engulfed by flailing arms, Power Line reports.

SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (WMC/Gray News) - It turns out firearms are on many Black Friday Shopper's list.
Monte Dabbs has high expectations for sales at his Southaven, Miss., gun store on Black Friday.(Source: WMC/Gray News)
Guns are expected to be a hot item during the holiday shopping season.
"We're stoked. We're ready," said Monte Dabbs of Dabbs Gun and Pawn store.
Dabbs has high expectations for sales at his Southaven gun store this Friday.
"We're expecting it to be big. We're gearing up. We got extra people here," said Dabbs.
Black Friday specials are already posted in the store, and for many gun buyers, they will have to fill out a background check.
"We call it in to the FBI, online and they give us a proceed, delay or denied," said Dabbs.
The FBI has seen a surge in background checks to the tune of nearly 23 million so far this year.
Statistics show when mass shootings occur the agency sees an increase, numbers soared in August and September after the Walmart shootings in El Paso and Southaven.
The FBI doesn't track gun sales, but the National Instant Criminal Background check is a good way to gauge demand.
For the first time since 1998, when the FBI first began tracking background checks, the number of applications per month has not dropped below 2 million.
If Black Friday sales are as good as expected, it could break the record set in 2016 of 27.5 million background checks in a single year.

Attention, cocktail snobs: plan your next vacation in Asia. At last night's World's Best Bar Awards in London, the highest new entry was Hong Kong's closet-sized Ernest Hemingway-inspired The Old Man, which clocked in at number 10. The bar—where each of the nine cocktails is named after one of Papa's works—is just one example of how the craft cocktail scene's center of gravity is shifting east; away from its two best-known hubs, London and New York, and towards an energetic new scene in Asia.
Singapore is thriving, too. The highest climber on the list, at 13, was the city-state's Native, which has built its reputation on local or foraged ingredients and an impressive commitment to sustainability: it uses lotus leaves as reusable coasters and subs out conventional straws for lotus stems supplied by a local florist. And , inside the Regent Hotel, cracked the top three for the first time with its 200-strong archive of rare bourbons, ryes and whiskies. Other top-ranking Asian bars included Bar Benfiddich and High Five in Tokyo, Taipei's Indulge Experimental Bistro, Shanghai's Speak Low, plus Singapore's Atlas, Operation Dagger and 28 Hong Kong Street. (No wonder —a speakeasy-style joint in New York's West Village and the only venue to appear on the list every year since its inception—just opened an outpost in Singapore.)
It's a welcome development, according to Charlotte Voisey, director of brand advocacy at William Grant & Sons. "Asia showed really well this year, and it's a sign of how cocktail innovation is coming from different places these days," says Voisey, who just returned from her own research trip across the continent, taking in cities from Chengdu to Kuala Lumpur. "Once you've educated a city's population on what good cocktails are, and why you might pay a few extra dollars for one, it's a rolling start. You can see the results of that in Hong Kong and the rest of Asia now."
Don't worry if you're not heading to Singapore soon, as London and New York weren't shut out entirely. There was a suitably raucous cheer from the crowd inside London's Roundhouse, when Greenwich Village Negroni joint (and unofficial Traveler clubhouse) was revealed at number nine, cracking the top 10 for the first time. It was the second highest U.S. entry, just behind the , helmed by powerhouse bartender Leo Robitschek.
The best new opening title was claimed by London's —the East End bar, run by Savoy hotel alum Chris Moore, has dazzled drinkers with its focus on French liqueurs and eau de vie. And it was an American bartender who earned the industry icon award this year, too, although it was a posthumous tribute to John Lermayer, the beloved co-owner of Miami's Sweet Liberty who died unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm earlier this year, aged just 45. As his colleagues accepted the award on his behalf, it was a rare moment when the cavernous Roundhouse auditorium fell virtually silent.
The list is generated by a top-secret poll of more than 500 booze world insiders from 58 countries, and uses careful guidelines to prevent any one city or bar from hacking the rankings. Each voter casts seven votes, at least three of which must be for bars outside their home territory, and must have personally visited a venue within the last 18 months. One rule that was particularly pertinent this year stipulated that bars must be open at the time of the ceremony to be considered—a feat that this year's overall winner, , only just managed.
Days earlier, owner Ryan Chetiyawardana announced its closure for sometime in early 2019, after just four years of slinging botanical-inspired cocktails inside London's Mondrian hotel. It caught insiders off-guard: his venue had been an awards-hogging must-try since it opened, and just earned the accolade of world's best bar at another other major cocktail ceremony, Tales of the Cocktail's Spirited Awards, in New Orleans this summer. There's no firm closure date yet—so you can still try one of the famed British Mules—and Chetiyawardana promises he'll be opening another concept in the same venue, though he remains tight-lipped on details.
Until then, you can work your way through the list here. And if you need to save up for that Asia adventure, why not wait until 2021, when the World's Best Bar ceremony will decamp from its established home in London to Singapore—yet another sign of Asia's rising cocktail reputation.

GREENACRES — Outside of the Palms Villas II community where she lives, no one had ever really heard of Lisa Rivera.
That changed on Tuesday when the 45-year-old Rivera ousted incumbent Councilman John Tharp in the District I race.
With no name recognition, political savvy and little knowledge on how city government works, Rivera nabbed critical union support, including the police and firefighters, that played a key role in her victory.
Check back at www.mypalmbeachpost.com this weekend to find out how Rivera managed to shake up a "complacent" council and why one council member said the city is in for a "bumpy ride."

Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse-Feb 2017 02/12/2017Posted by simplyastrology in Eclipses, Full Moon/New Moon, Moon Cycles.
It's been over a year since I last posted anything. My reason? We can know so much. We can try to share what we know. But, when it becomes information for information's sake instead of sharing the soul of the matter, it is less worthy. So, today I am writing from more than what "I know" academically, but also from how I feel. . . .the vibes I'm receiving from both nature and the people around me.
Nature. Whenever we have weather disturbances around a full Moon, the outcomes are one-sided. Thus, as we approached Feb. 1oth, there was unexpected and devastating tornado activity in New Orleans which is still not fully recovered from Hurricane Katrina. Then the snow. If you were outside the snow belt, it did not come near you. And if you were in it, the snow accumulation was the highest predicted – 3″ to 5″ = 5″; 8″ to 12″ = 12″; up to 15″ = 15″. The eclipse intensified the Moon's ability. And, this time I knew it in my heart even before the numbers started coming in.
People. The dynamic at a full Moon is usually one of "seeing" across the divide and trying to achieve a balance, identifying the flaws and strengths so one can make better decisions. However, this time around that was very difficult for the usual Moon-oppose-Sun configuration because two of the most disruptive planets are battling it out across their own opposition – Jupiter and Uranus. Rather than seek balance, Uranus wants the revolution. Rather than seek compromise Jupiter wants everything its own way. This is connecting the dynamite to its detonator; unless both sides begin to realize that there must be some compromise, we are in for a 'big bang'. That makes us feel unsettled and anxious. And, the eclipse pushed the internal buttons, not the external stuff others see. It's what's bothering us inside that has us turned upside down and frantic. The world around us drives us to distraction because the world inside us feels overwhelmed.
Those are the vibes that are surrounding us. What we have to remember is that we must seek our own inner truth. Then, decide how to achieve inner peace while handling the crazy energy that is affecting our eco-system and ourselves. Nothing will go away. You really must decide to do what is necessary. Be the lady who held on to her baby during the tornado and the person who pulled out a shovel or snow blower and cleared the way.
Just one last message. The eclipse chart contained a GRAND TRINE (Uranus, Saturn and the Moon) that promises it will be OK. Just act (Uranus) prudently (Saturn) and from true concern for yourself and others (Moon).

"But when it comes to relative currency valuations, the United States dollar exists in a world of its own. As the international reserve, the dollar is the de facto beneficiary of any other country's intervention. When countries intervene, they do so specifically against the dollar. In addition, many countries, (China and Taiwan, for instance) maintain a pegged relationship to the Greenback. Therefore in a world dominated by interventionist banks, the factors that push the dollar have been inverted. The dollar falls when fundamentals either improve abroad or deteriorate at home (both cases increase the propensity for intervention). The rest of the world's currencies compete on their own merit. As a result, it is not an accident that over the last decade Australia, New Zealand, and Switzerland, three of the world's strongest economies, have produced strong currencies." - in The Daily Bell

Workers' Compensation Benefits for Scarring and Disfigurement
February 26th, 2016 at 6:51 pm
Workers' compensation law is designed to protect workers who are hurt while on the job. Many benefits are geared towards replacing lost income from missed work. But, some injuries such as burns and scars leave workers able to complete their jobs, but take a terrible mental toll. These kinds of injuries are known as disfigurement and scarring injuries under the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act and there are special considerations in getting compensated for them.
Types of Disfigurement and Scarring Injuries
Disfigurement and scarring represent a broad category of injuries under workers' compensation law. Some of these injuries may totally or partially interfere with the execution of normal job duties, while others may not interfere with the worker's job at all, but cause significant mental anguish.
Some common types of disfigurement and scarring injuries include:
- Loss of a finger or toe;
- Lacerations;
- Burns;
- Nerve damage to face;
- Nerve damage that limits use of limbs;
- Loss of a limb;
- Loss of an eye or ear; and
- Damage to the retina, cornea, or other parts of the eye.
The Claims Process
While there are strict reporting requirements that mandate a worker to report an accident to his or her employer as quickly as possible, a settlement for workers' compensation benefits when dealing with disfigurement and scarring injuries does not typically take place until at least six months of healing has taken place. The amount of benefits awarded will depend on the location of the disfigurement or scarring, if the injury is permanent, the degree the injury interferes with bodily function, and the part of the body the disfigurement or scarring is located.
Because the law dealing with scarring and disfigurement injuries is complicated, it is important that you have an experienced workers' compensation helping you negotiate your claim. Even though formal negotiations often do not start until six months after your injury, the sooner you involve a lawyer, the better prepared your case can be when it is time to discuss settlement. If you wait too long to process your claim, you may lose out on the right to get any benefits for your injuries.
Disfigurement and scarring benefits are usually paid out in lump-sum payments. Some cases, however, may require payments to be made over time.
If you have been involved in a workplace accident, you need to understand your rights. You should speak with a skilled and tough Illinois workers' compensation lawyer right away. Call the Law Offices of Frank J. Discipio at 630-574-2288 to schedule a consultation. You may only have a short time to take action.
Scars, Disfigurement, and Workers' Compensation
March 17th, 2014 at 12:30 pm
Many workers' compensation injuries impact your physical ability to perform the tasks of your job, but scarring and disfigurement can bring up a whole new set of problems for you. After being injured in an accident that resulted in scars or disfigurement, you might physically be able to perform your job, but your life will be forever changed.
If you have been seriously scarred or disfigured in such an accident in Illinois, you should know that you may be entitled to 162 weeks of benefits under workers' compensation. This applies to individuals with permanent disfigurement to the face, head, neck, chest above the armpits, leg below the knee, arm, or hand. Before a hearing can be held to determine the extent of the disfigurement, six months of healing must have taken place.
The Workers' Compensation Commission evaluates the impact of the physical impairment and the influence of the disability on the employee's life. Some of the factors commonly considered in these types of claims include pain, stiffness, the person's age, the occupation, training, skill, and ability or inability to engage in certain activities.
A patient can be eligible for both permanent partial disability benefits and disfigurements, and you need to consult with an attorney to determine if this applies to you.
Scarring and disfigurement can take a toll on you physically and mentally. While you are hearing and struggling to adjust to your new life, financial difficulties can arise. Scarring and disfigurement cases can be extremely complex and it's essential to have someone representing your interests.
Being a victim of an accident that leaves you with serious scars or disfigurement will change your outlook and your life significantly. You may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits that will help you move on with your life. Learn more by contacting an Illinois workers' compensation attorney today.

New varieties take performance to the next level
May 2016
KWS unveiled four new varieties spanning three crop types with each offering class-leading grain quality attributes at Cereals 2016.
The new varieties, include milling and feed wheat, malting barley and oats, and combine higher yields with strong all-round disease packages meaning they offer something for every grower.
All four candidates are in Recommended List trials and will potentially be added to the 2017-18 AHDB Recommended List later this year.
KWS Zyatt is a potential Group 1 milling wheat with a yield of 105% of controls, 8% ahead of the current Group 1 control, Crusoe, and on a par with high-yielding feed wheat KWS Santiago. Unusually for a Group 1, KWS Zyatt manages to maintain its yield without sacrificing protein which, at 12.1%, is on a par with established milling variety Gallant.
"KWS Zyatt shows great promise. Over three years of private testing KWS Zyatt has shown itself to be a typical Group 1 with grain and flour characteristics similar to that of other varieties in this group and consistent bread-making performance," says KWS wheat breeder Mark Dodds.
"In has performed similarly well in official testing with comments noting its 'good baking quality similar to that of Gallant'," he adds.
A yield on-par with feed wheats will further underline its appeal to growers as it means they can grow for the heap without suffering a yield penalty while retaining the opportunity to pursue price premiums for quality.
"KWS Zyatt is the ultimate in flexible wheats. It combines excellent yields and grain quality and strong disease resistance to the principal foliar diseases and pch 1 eyespot resistance, meaning it will find a place on every farm," says Mark Dodds.
KWS Kerrin is a feed wheat with outstanding yield. "It has been remarkably consistent across contrasting seasons proving to be the highest yielding winter wheat in National List trials over the past two years where it out-performed KWS Santiago in 24 of sites," says Mark Dodds.
"KWS Kerrin is a KWS Santiago cross, but with better yield performance and disease resistance. It has a good yellow rust score, OWBM resistance and is a medium height variety with strong straw and maturity similar to other Group 4s.
"It has a similar HFN to its parent and will appeal to those in the East where it is a natural successor to KWS Santiago," adds Mark Dodds.
KWS Funky is a six-row winter barley with excellent all-round disease resistance, especially to Rhynchosporium and brown rust. A yield of 105% of controls places it just 1% behind the leading hybrid, Volume and 2% ahead of the leading conventional, KWS Meridian. It is the same maturity to Volume and is a day earlier than KWS Meridian and features the highest specific weight of any six-row winter barley at 69.3 kg/hl.
"Funky has strong farmer appeal. It's the highest yielding non-hybrid six-row in NL trials in 2015 and the third-highest six-row overall. It is the equal stiffest strawed variety since KWS Meridian with no recorded lodging in treated or untreated trials. It is also 10cm shorter than Volume which will speed combining at harvest," says KWS barley and oat breeder David Harrap.
"Rhynchosporium is the principal disease concern of barley and Funky has shown strong resistance to this and net blotch in trials. Add its high specific weight and it is an enticing feed barley proposition," adds David Harrap.
WPB Elyann is a spring oat that is receiving strong interest from millers for its excellent grain qualities.
A yield of 8.44t/ha (103% of controls) and exceptional kernel content – it is the only variety on the AHDB Recommended List trials with a score above 80% – high specific weight and low screenings make Elyann the stand-out spring oat candidate for harvest 2016.
"Elyann has received considerable interest and large batches have been requested from this harvest for evaluation. It is the most exciting spring oat to come through the system in recent years and with increasing domestic demand from millers, we expect Elyann to be a significant beneficiary," says David Harrap.
"It will fit well on farm being two days earlier to mature both Firth and Canyon and similar resistance to the principal diseases, mildew and crown rust," adds David Harrap.

COLUMBUS – Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has announced the Ohio Business Profile program will feature nonprofit businesses throughout the month of May.
There are more than 65,000 active nonprofit corporations filed with the Secretary of State's office. The nonprofit sector is one of the largest employers in the state, employing roughly 480,000 people.
"Every day, I meet people whose lives have been changed for the better thanks to a not-for-profit organization," Secretary Husted said. "Not-for-profits are helping people lead independent, better lives. They're helping solve community problems and improving the quality of life for people all across Ohio."
Companies profiled this month include:
• SourcePoint (Delaware, Ohio) provides community support with in-home care services such as Meals on Wheels, transportation to medical appointments, and resources for family caregivers.
• Agape for Youth, Inc. (Dayton, Ohio) was founded in 1989 to match children in need of care to foster homes, which could guide and support them as they grow. Their focus is to accept each youth that comes into their program in a way that each individual may find viable alternatives to meet the challenges in their life.
• Children's Hunger Alliance (Columbus, Ohio) is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in Ohio. They focus on five key areas including early childhood nutrition, afterschool meals and snacks, school breakfast expansion, summer meal expansion, and educating children along with child care providers on nutrition and physical education.

• The Ridge Project (McClure, Ohio) is a Christian organization dedicated to empowering individuals and improving the lives of families throughout the state of Ohio. They believe that strong families produce strong children, who will pass on that legacy of strength for generations.
From 2010 to 2016, Ohio saw a 30.8 percent increase in the number of newly-registered businesses with 2016 being the seventh-consecutive record-breaking year for new businesses in the state.
Since taking office in 2011, Secretary Husted has made it a priority to offer better services to Ohio entrepreneurs and businesses at a lower cost. In 2013, he launched the Ohio Business Central, which allows businesses to be created online with a significantly quicker turnaround time. This efficiency allowed the state to cut the fees associated with starting a new business by 21 percent in 2015. That same year, Secretary Husted began a partnership with Google's "Let's Put Our Cities on the Map" program making it easy for new businesses to access free tools to help them get off the ground.
Ohio Business Profile was launched in 2011 making people aware of Ohio companies that are creating interesting products, offering outstanding service, contributing to their local communities and employing Ohioans in the process. Each month, a handful of diverse businesses linked together by a common theme are featured on the Secretary of State's website, where Ohioans are encouraged to submit companies they feel are deserving of recognition in future months.
