Covid: Urgent Call To Pray
Covid: Urgent Call To Pray The Leaves of The Tree of Life To Heal the Nations
"I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men…" 1 Timothy 2:1.
Next month will be two years since covid was first reported as a disease outbreak in China.
In record time, by the wisdom of the world, mRNA vaccines were rushed out to vaccinate people all over the world – damning the consequences.
Yet, in spite of the vaccination campaign, covid rates and variants are spiking now and again. The world CANNOT solve this crisis with their wisdom.
I wrote in December 2020, when the vaccine rollouts started in the United Kingdom, America and other countries, that the vaccines are very damaging yet do not offer the health protection for which they are being touted.
That's exactly what is happening now. In the UK right now, they are asking for third jabs (so-called booster jabs). But people are not interested.
How many "booster" jabs of the genes-changing, DNA-damaging vaccines can a person keep on taking as a previous jab's efficacy wanes?
This is continual foolishness that must not continue.
"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with GOD. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; and again, "THE LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile." 1 Corinthians 3:19-20.
The kings of the earth are not the ones who have authority over the earth. WE do.
We who have been made kings and priests by THE LORD JESUS unto His GOD (Revelation 1:5-6), have authority over the earth.
It is The Church of JESUS CHRIST that He has given His Authority to reign and rule in the earth by the manifold Wisdom of GOD (Ephesians 3:10), including supplications, prayers, intercessions, giving of thanks, declarations, decrees made for all men.
As such, for sometime now, THE LORD has repeatedly so STRONGLY impressed upon me that we should pray The Leaves of The Tree of Life to heal the nations of covid, indeed of sin and sickness.
"And he showed me a pure River of Water of LIFE, clear as crystal, proceeding from The Throne of GOD and of THE LAMB. In the middle of its Street, and on either side of The River, was The Tree of Life, Which bore Twelve Fruits, each Tree yielding its Fruit every month. The Leaves of The Tree were for the healing of the nations." Revelation 22:1-2.
"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all GODliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in The Sight of GOD our Savior, Who desires all men to be saved and to come to The Knowledge of The Truth." 1 Timothy 2:1-4.
"Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has GREAT POWER and produces wonderful results. Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops." James 5:16-18 NLT.
Therefore, let us with one accord pray The Leaves of The Tree of Life for the healing of the nations of covid, yes, of sin and sickness.
Our FATHER, through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, will answer quickly if we come into agreement and pray with conviction.
This is what our LORD expressly taught, "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My FATHER in Heaven." (Matthew 18:19).
Brethren, church leaders, church members, please let this call go out to The Church all over the earth: to pray The Leaves of The Tree of Life to heal the nations of covid; to heal the nations of sin and sickness.
GOD will do His Part if we do our part. As The Scripture has said:
"When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My Eyes will be open and My Ears attentive to prayer made in this place." 2 Chronicles 7:13-5 emphasis added.
"The LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen." 2 Timothy 4:22.
"Farewell" Acts 15:29.
~ Jacob Awagah
Jacob, an apostle of Jesus Christ by The Will of God, according to The Promise of Life which is in Christ Jesus, (2 Timothy 1:1).
As John was, Jacob is the disciple whom JESUS loves, (John 13:23;19:26; 20:2; 21:7,20). And like Paul, Jacob is "the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS" (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
"And having been perfected, He became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him," Hebrews 5:9.

Under the guise of opposing the threat of an emergency manager (EM) in Detroit, a highly-orchestrated rally was held by Detroit's Democratic Party establishment Monday evening.
The ostensible purpose of the meeting, organized by Detroit City Council member JoAnn Watson with the support of the trade unions, was to push for 100,000 more signatures to a ballot initiative aimed placing the existing EM law on the ballot.
Michigan's Public Act 4 law on emergency managers enacted earlier this year is thoroughly reactionary and undemocratic. Appointed executives have the right to remove elected officials, void collective bargaining agreements, and impose budget cuts and sell city assets. On the basis of previous laws, EMs in Pontiac, Flint, Ecorse and Benton Harbor, as well as the Detroit public schools, have already moved to implement drastic cuts.
The aim of the rally and the campaign, however, is to hoodwink the public, and city workers in particular, into believing a struggle is taking place to defend their rights. Behind the scenes, discussions are taking place between Republican and Democratic Party officials, along with the trade unions, over the best way to impose massive concessions on a workforce that has endured a continuous wave of job and benefit cuts.
Attended by about 200 people, Monday's event was carefully stage managed to ensure that there was no opportunity for the public to speak and raise concerns. Very few workers were in attendance, and the crowd consisted mainly of city officials, their allies, and a well-heeled stratum of the upper middle class. Among those called to play their part were various organizations in Detroit that make a specialty of "left" posturing, racial politics, and absolute support for the Democratic Party.
The Detroit political establishment as a whole is seeking to present the EM law primarily in racial terms—as a conflict between "white" Republican Lansing and "black" Democratic Detroit. The aim is to divert attention from the anti-working class policies of the Democrats, prevent a united struggle of workers in Detroit and Michigan against unemployment and austerity, and defend the particular prerogatives of a section of the Detroit elite.
The rally was led by of individuals and organizations that play a critical role in Detroit politics. These include US Congressman John Conyers; Wendell Anthony, president of the Detroit Branch of the NAACP; Detroit Council members Kwame Kenyatta and Brenda Jones; several prominent ministers; and Al Garrett and Saundra Williams, union officials in the metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO. They were joined by representatives a number of pro-Democratic Party organizations, including Michigan Welfare Rights, the Moratorium Now Coalition founded by the Workers World Party, and the Communist Party.
US Congressman John Conyers began by declaring, "Emergency managers, so called, are merely a dictatorial ruse for a governor to take over and suspend democratic management."
Whatever the posturing of Democratic Party officials such as Conyers, however, the majority of the EMs presently active were installed by Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm. Several of the EMs, such as the manager in Benton Harbor and Roy Roberts, the Emergency Manager in the Detroit Public Schools, are black Democrats.
Al Garrett, President of AFSCME Council 25, who has been involved in contract negotiations with Detroit Mayor David Bing and has played a major role in gathering signatures, admonished the audience demagogically to "stand up."
Garrett added, "Our mothers and fathers fought for one thing: self-determination. It would be unacceptable and unnecessary for black folk in the city of Detroit, for white folk in Ann Arbor….to allow anybody that was selected by chance to dictate what happens in their community."
For Garrett, "self-determination" means the ability of a section of the privileged black upper-middle class and corporate elite to control Detroit's resources and benefit despite the impoverishment of the entire population.
For his part, Anthony used the issue of race to camouflage the real purpose of the law. He asked rhetorically why Detroit and other predominantly black communities were singled out when national and state governments also run deficits.
"We are not going back to the plantation," he declared. For the vast majority of the population of Detroit, however, conditions are already disastrous, with poverty and real unemployment over 50 percent.
In contrast, anyone who knows Anthony knows that he is not reluctant to flaunt his wealth. He, and other sections of upper middle class blacks in Detroit, have benefited from the affirmative action set asides with the city government while the majority of the population, especially working class blacks, have grown dramatically poorer.
Jerry Goldberg, a leading member of the Moratorium Now! Coalition and Workers World, was anxious to prove his usefulness. He espoused the demagogy of black nationalism in stronger terms than anyone in the room, despite the fact that he is white.
"This bill is out to stop the rights of black Detroiters," he declared. "Its aim is to take away the right to self-determination. We should sue the government and recover the billions that were stolen. We want reparations for the billions that were stolen from us."
All of these figures, from Conyers to Goldberg, are seeking to cover for the fact that they are just as equally committed to attacking the working class, black and white, as the Republicans.
In fact, while union officials were denouncing the EM law, substantial concessions have already been agreed to in discussions with Mayor Bing. Bing, who initially offered himself as a candidate for emergency manager, now declares that an EM is not needed because he will be able to secure sufficient cuts without it. He has called for 1,000 layoffs of city workers, along with a 10 percent wage cut and 20 percent cut in benefits.
The Detroit City Council, which includes Watson, wants to go further than Bing, calling for 2,300 job cuts, including hundreds fire department positions.
The Detroit News, which speaks for the city's corporate elite, reported on Tuesday that the unions have agreed to cuts of over $102 million this fiscal year and $258 million in 2012-13. The information was given anonymously because the unions are supporting a confidentiality agreement prohibiting speaking in public. The last thing they want is for workers to know in advance what they are preparing.
From the standpoint of the unions, the EM law is beneficial because it allows them to blackmail workers, insisting that they must accept drastic cuts as the only alternative.
The big problem, according to the report, is the uniformed unions consisting of the police and firefighters. "The frustrating part is everything is going so slow," the News quoted its anonymous source. "There has to be something presented to the governor ASAP. If we don't get the uniformed folks to sign off on the concessions, it's game, set, match."
On Wednesday the News wrote an editorial calling for the pension and health care benefits of retired city workers to be cut. Both the News and Republican Governor Rick Snyder have said they would prefer Detroit city officials and the unions work out an agreement rather than appoint an emergency manager.
Last week Snyder appointed a 10-member review team to review Detroit's finances, a necessary step prior to the appointment of an EM. The team is led by Michigan State Treasurer Andy Dillon, a Democrat. The review team, highly praised by local Democrats, has six black Detroit members, all of whom are Democrats with ties to major corporations and Wall Street.
There is enormous opposition in Detroit to the cuts being proposed by the Bing and Snyder administrations. However, this opposition finds no expression in the Democratic Party, the trade unions, or their various adjuncts. A fight against the cuts and anti-democratic laws requires the building of independent organs of struggle and an independent political movement of the working class.

Stars of champagne
are bubbling over
from the moon's bowl
of sparkling light
~ Is the moon half empty or half full? Before climbing into bed Sunday night, I peered out my window to see where all the light was coming from. Happily, I discovered the moon was half full, balancing in the sky like cup. Inspired by the image, while drifting off to sleep, my mind began to craft a poem; but when I woke up the next morning, all memory of it was lost. Or so I thought.
While visiting Leanne's site, Artist by Nature, Monday morning, I noticed the word "bowl" in her post. It immediately triggered my memory of the moon the night before. Although her mention of "bowl" was of an entirely different entity than the one I was thinking of (LOL), it enabled me to recapture the image I had forgotten and finish my poem.
And so, I offer Leanne the above concentrated little sip of a poem in the manner of a toast across the blogsphere. Cheers!

I'm at a conference of mostly moderate evangelical Christians in the Pacific Northwest, and virtually everybody I have met is doing something that helps humanity and inspires me.
There's the woman who runs an organization that resettles refugees. The guy who learned that a YMCA in a poor area was about to close, moved his family across the country to become the CEO and is about to cut the ribbon on a brand-new building that will serve thousands.
There are people at this conference who run homeless shelters, programs for the formerly incarcerated, women's empowerment initiatives in developing world nations.
Literally everyone here is doing something to help the marginalized, those who suffer from institutionalized racism, the victims of systemic oppression.
Except that's not, for the most part, the language that's used. Mostly the talk here is about their devotion to Jesus, the Christian command to love the neighbor, the power of God becoming flesh and beckoning others to follow.
As a Muslim, I don't agree with all of the theology (we Muslims believe Jesus was a beloved prophet of God, but not his only son or the savior, at least not in the manner that Christians believe that), but I find the general approach both familiar and, frankly, very moving. If you go to the programs of the Inner City Action Network, the most inspiring American Muslim organization that I know, you'll hear continuous references to God and the Quran as the staff go about their work in the free health clinic, the arts program and the prisoner re-entry initiative.
The basic logic is the one that classical Islamic scholars taught to their students: the one who is in heaven is merciful to you -- it is your duty to be merciful to others.
Too often when I talk about the importance of positively engaging religious identity in a progressive higher ed space, the first question that gets asked is this: "Christians hate gays and refugees and poor people, so why should I create a space for their identities?"
That's the same view of Christians that bigots have of Muslims: knowing only the bad stuff.
My hope is that people will remember that Christians often start and run the programs that provide direct service to those very people when they are suffering the most.
Here's another way to put that: progressives advocate that marginalized people should be helped, Christians are often the people building the institutions that actually do the helping.
Nick Kristof has written about this movingly for The New York Times -- "go to the front lines, at home or abroad, in the battles against hunger, malaria, prison rape, obstetric fistula, human trafficking or genocide, and some of the bravest people you meet are evangelical Christians (or conservative Catholics, similar in many ways) who truly live their faith.
This is something that I actually learned in college. I became more progressive as a result of the sociology classes I was taking at the University of Illinois, but when I looked for ways to help the people that were being hurt by an unfair system, I quickly discovered that the homeless shelters, soup kitchens and tutoring programs were built by Christians.
All of these places serve everybody, and people of all faiths (and none) volunteered and worked there.
I spent many evenings volunteering at the local Salvation Army shelter, which was run by a remarkable woman named Susan Freiburg. Susan had genuine love for the people she worked with. She brought warmth and discipline to lives that lacked it. Several of the men at that shelter were gay, and Susan knew it and looked out for them in particular.
Susan died about a year after we met from an aggressive cancer, but she taught me so much in that short time -- especially about spirituality. She had an eclectic view that drew from multiple traditions. It kept her going and serving even when she was suffering horribly from chemo sessions.
It was probably my first encounter of how spirituality inspires service. And it came from a Jewish woman who delighted in quoting Hindu scriptures as she was dying from cancer, still working at a shelter for men that had been set up by a conservative Christian organization.
I think we need more of that in America. I like Stephen Carter's take on being inspired by the Salvation Army's work, rather than focusing on where you might disagree with parts of its charter.
I don't expect secular progressives and moderate evangelicals to agree on ideology, but I do believe we can do something maybe more important together -- work that actually helps people we all care about, especially those who suffer the most. Jane Addams called this "the fellowship of the deed."
Speaking of ideology, part of what strikes me about moderate evangelical spaces is just how much things are changing. This whole conference that I'm at is organized around the question of "Who is my neighbor?" drawing from the story of the Good Samaritan, with the key lesson being everyone is your neighbor, and Christians are commanded to engage especially with those who are different and viewed as "other."
On stage at this conference was an advocate for gay civil rights, a man who moved to Iraq to be in solidarity with the people there as they endured war, three people who had been incarcerated and are now out and getting their lives back together, and me, a Muslim.
The big idea -- Christian theology needs to expand to include all such people, and more.
The interesting thing to me about this world of moderate evangelicals is that their practice got there before their theology.
My mother always said, actions speak louder.

A growth hacker is an internet marketer who uses a number of different techniques to drive traffic to a website or app. These methods may include social media, viral marketing, e-mail marketing, content marketing, and reverse engineering to drive traffic. They may also use analytics and A/B testing to maximize conversion rates. While not every growth hacker uses all these tactics, many are. For example, the growth hacker might use a combination of paid advertising, social media, and SEO to drive traffic to a website.
Content hacker
The content marketing strategy is the core of any growth hacker. Content marketing can be executed through blogging, social media, podcasting, email marketing, and contests and giveaways. It can also be improved through SEO tactics. These strategies help your content get seen by as many people as possible and increase its exposure to organic search results. They are also cost-effective. Whether you are targeting a niche market or a large group of users, content marketing is an important tool to drive growth.
The goal of content marketing is to drive a high ROI with minimal capital. Content marketers need to have patience to see growth hacks and tactics through. This requires patience and a strong work ethic. It is also imperative that the content is created with the end user in mind. But content hacking is not for the faint of heart! Read on for more information. You can also check out the full article for more tips and tricks.
Content hackers have the skills to build sustainable online businesses that are a great fit for their target audience. Instead of creating content just to fill space, they create content with purpose, refine and implement their content marketing strategy. Content hackers do not need a college degree to become a content hacker. They know how to research their target audience, write for them, use keywords to rank for search terms, and nurture their fan base.
Another important skill that a growth hacker must have is technical marketing. Websites, landing pages, and paid search advertisements are all viable channels for growth. Creating, optimizing, and tracking these channels is critical to achieving success. Growth hackers should possess an arsenal of skills in design, advertising, and APIs. The combination of these skills is a necessity for success. This combination of knowledge will set you apart from other marketing consultants.
While growth hacking is similar to marketing, it is different from it. It is an approach to acquiring customers. Growth hackers are experts at measuring the effect of their marketing strategies on business outcomes. It entails limited resources and makes use of offbeat tactics and mechanics to get the job done. Traditional marketing techniques, in contrast, usually have larger budgets and can afford paid promotional tactics. The goal of growth hacking is to achieve maximum growth without spending more than necessary.
Growth hackers are responsible for identifying and testing hypotheses and improving business processes. They are often data analysts and marketers who experiment with various marketing channels. Growth hackers focus on the entire funnel and try different tactics until they find the ones that work best for their company. They focus on converting new customers into brand advocates, while analyzing customer behavior data to understand which techniques work and which don't. They also keep in touch with the latest trends in technology.
Growth hacker
What is growth hacking? Growth hacking is a method of marketing and entrepreneurship that incorporates new channels to reach and interact with users. The most important factor in growth hacking is distribution. The problem with distribution is that people have too much data and don't pay attention to the next best widget. Growth hackers use innovative marketing techniques to reach new audiences and increase sales. Growth hacking has many definitions and examples. These methods have helped Airbnb become a household name.
What makes a growth hacker different from an ordinary marketer? Growth hackers use advanced logic processes to optimize marketing campaigns. They usually use algorithms and other logical resources. These advanced techniques are made possible by technology, which makes human decisions more accurate. The growth hacker merges marketing principles with engineering principles to create more effective marketing strategies. One method of growth hacking is viral acquisition, which encourages existing users to spread the product to their friends.
A growth hacker uses analytical thinking, creativity, and product engineering skills to make a website or a software program scalable. Many definitions are overly restrictive and do not describe growth hackers well. While creativity is an important trait of growth hackers, these skills are not enough to be a growth hacker. The main goal of growth hacking is to create a self-perpetuating marketing machine, which reaches millions of people on its own. Growth hacking can be scaled and replicated to any size business.
In addition to creating viral marketing campaigns, growth hackers also focus on social media. Social media is a hugely important part of the digital marketing industry today, and it offers undeniable profit potential. With the help of online communities, they can build a brand image, win new users, and create buzz. In addition to generating viral marketing, social media campaigns allow for two-way communication with viewers. Social media can also serve as an excellent CRM tool. Each social media platform has its own specifics, making social media expertise essential to a growth hacker in today's market.
Another characteristic of a growth hacker is implementing marketing automation. Growth hackers use e-mail marketing, messaging, and social media. They plan for automatic communication at every stage of the sales funnel. Growth hackers measure sales funnels and integrate various sources of information to create actionable insights. The conclusions drawn from this research are then translated into action. And the growth hacker's success depends on the growth hacker's ability to measure and track metrics.
A well-maintained blog is an invaluable asset for a growth hacker. A well-maintained blog can serve as the hub for an inbound marketing strategy, attracting users to the company's website or product. In addition to blogging, guest posting is an age-old and effective method of online marketing. It allows you to interact with other bloggers, and share your expertise and knowledge. This process can generate inbound links to your blog, and exposure for your business.
Marketing automation technique
Growth hacking is the process of using automation to maximize a company's marketing efforts. Growth hackers use data analytics, automated processes, and programming to maximize marketing efforts. They use this technique to increase customer engagement and revenue while minimizing cost and time. Growth hacking is especially useful for businesses on a budget and helps expand a brand's audience. This type of marketing is not available in traditional marketing, which usually has a larger budget and can afford paid promotional techniques.
While the process may seem intimidating, many marketers have incorporated it successfully. Before implementing a growth hacking strategy, it is important to evaluate your current marketing efforts and identify where they are working best. Which channels and sources generate the most traffic and leads? What can be improved? What can you do to improve these metrics? Then, you should plan experiments to test your hypotheses and find the best ways to achieve your goals.
Growth hacking requires a thorough understanding of the audience. It is the process of testing and validating hypotheses and improving products and services. Growth hackers employ various tools and teams to experiment with various techniques to see which ones are most effective and which ones are less effective. They are also able to scale bulletproof marketing strategies. In order to achieve their goals, growth hackers use analytics and automation tools. In addition to this, growth hackers focus on the customer's needs and wants.
In addition to testing and optimizing websites, growth hackers use advanced experimentation tools to improve their product. Some of these tools allow for advanced experiments in mobile apps, television applications, and the Internet of Things. They also offer native social media data analysis tools such as Facebook Analytics, Instagram Insights, and Twitter Analytics. While some of these tools can be expensive, growth hackers are generally cheaper than television and radio advertisements. Therefore, companies can utilize growth hacking strategies to increase their overall profitability.
The success of growth hacking is dependent upon understanding WHY a campaign works. Growth hackers use the scarcity principle, which holds that the more valuable something is, the more valuable it is. In other words, they measure how well a product works by tracking its customers down the sales pipeline. Afterwards, they analyze the data to optimize the results. Ultimately, growth hackers strive to create value-adding products that will make their customers happy.
While most marketing blogs focus on acquisition channels and tactics, true growth hackers know that the money is in the list. By extending a customer's lifetime value, they can significantly increase revenue. If people abandon your product after one or two engagements, it is time to find a better strategy. Companies like Dropbox and Facebook use viral referral loops to grow. By using a referral program, a user can earn money from just one referral.

Lineage`s Authenticating Objects
■Book 104 - A Plethora Of Scenic Splendours
■Written by GrandMaster Sheng-yen Lu
I went to pay respect to Guru Tuden Daji in Hong Kong on January 12th, 1993. The visit reminds me of the authenticating objects given to me by the grandmasters of different eras.
I list the items below.
Kagyudpa (Red Sect)
1. A small vajra given to me by Liao Ming the monk. The vajra is black, precise, unpolished and has a distinctive sound. The item has been used by Guru Nuo Na.
2. A Manjusri box given to me by Liao Ming the monk. It is a cute and delicate treasure indeed. The item came from Potala monastery. Guru Nuo Na gave the precious box to Liao Ming, who passed to me later. The work is exquisite; it is a very valuable treasure.
Gelugpa (Yellow Sect)
1. A Vajrapani Bodhisattva carved from clay. It belonged to Living Buddha Gan Zhu in the first place. He gave it to Guru Tuden Daji, who in turn present it to me. You can never imagine how nice this image carved from clay can be. Delicate, solemn and coloured, it is bigger than a thumb but smaller than a palm. It is just marvellous.
2. A Varjayogini carved from clay. It belonged to Living Buddha Gan Zhu originally. The size is the same as Vajrapani. Although uncoloured, it is remarkably true to life. It is inconceivable that Guru Tuden Daji gave it to me.
3. A Golden Time-wheel Vajra. Originally the vajra belonged to Living Buddha Gan Zhu. It is made of pure gold. It has mantra of Time-wheel in front, and the signature of Gan Zhu on its back. Guru Tuden Daji instructed me to wear it whenever I preside over a grand ritual.
4. A Diamond dharma wheel- Once it belonged to Guru Tuden Daji. The dharma wheel was made of sparkling diamonds. He told me this is the only one in the whole world - his authenticating token.
5. A gold Vajra and a gold bell- the size of a thumb. They are hooked on to the rosary beads. When I received Supreme Tantra empowerment from Guru Tuden Daji, he gave them to me as tokens.
My lineage gurus from Gelugpa (yellow Sect) gave me a lot of tokens. Gold pin, glass bat, jade elephant, Vajrasattva, crystal ball, double-dragon gold ring, reclining elephant-nose fortune god just to name a few.
6. A Three-sided Vajra-given to me on January 12, 1993 as token. On top is a three-sided Vajra, below is a single-arm Vajra. Guru Tuden Daji instructed When I hold karma ritual (for confession of sins and absolution) in future, the item can be used to counter all the evil spirits, to turn danger into safety.
Nyingmapa (White Sect)
1. A White crystal rosary beads-the item belonged to the sixteenth Karmapa . He used this hand to hold
it and turned the beads. Each bead is as big as a bird egg. It is not the ordinary type. When I received the five Buddha profound empowerment, Karmapa gave me this beautiful rosary beads as a token.
2. A Jade vase-the item also belonged to Karmapa who has all kinds of jade. In fact he has many treasure in his room. The best carpet from Tibet was laid on his dharma seat. He took the jade vase from the pure-white table and gave it to me as a token. The jade vase has been polished, originally it came from Xin Long De Temple, Sikkim.
When the sixteen Karmapa gave me the authenticating object. The lamas in attendance were very surprised. They considered it inconceivable , a magnificent spiritual opportunity.
Sakyapa (Flower Sect)
1. A Shakyamuni Buddha's image - It belonged to Lama Shajia Zhenkong. It is made of brass, quite old and as big as a palm. The item has been with him for a long time. He wrapped it with a piece of white cotton clothes. As he leads an ascetic life, this is one of the few items he carried with him.
2. A Jade lion seal from snowy mountain-It belonged to Lama Shajia Zhenkong, who gave me as a token. Snowy mountain is actually Tang Gu La mountain. The lion from snowy mountain is an intelligent animal. He wanted me to be fearless as a lion from snowy mountain.
(Lama Shajia Zhenkong was born in De Gei Bang, Tibet. He became a monk at the age of ten. He left Tibet at twenty six, and has been cultivating in Bhutan, Sikkim and Himalayan area. He observes many strict precepts. Most of my vows to uphold precepts were empowered by him."
Other tokens given by him included lotus flower, jade pot Vajra head-dress, vajra lock etc.
I am telling all of you my lineage is genuine. A verse written personally by Guru Tuden Daji is on the wall of Rainbow Villa.
The metrical narrative is for Tantra protection,
Climbing mount Lu, I see the bright path.
All sentient beings have the wisdom word-hum,
Its auspicious they follow the right dharma.
The truth will be protected by divine beings,
The dharma favour is extended to all.
The omnipresent truth is accompanied by solemn lotus flowers.
Edified by the fragrant incense,
We respect the Buddha's mercy.
Living Buddha Amchok presented me a seat for the dharma king.
Living Buddha Shan Shan gave me a robe for the dharma king.
This is what I have to say:

Quebec's provincial retail monopoly the Société Québécoise du Cannabis announced it closed its past quarter with $1.4M in net profit on $45.1M in sales.
Global News
- Though the SQDC has opened fewer than 20 stores, Quebec consumers spend far more in stores ($39.5M) than they do on the SQDC website ($5.6M).
- The SQDC's principal spending was on employee salaries.
La Presse—In French
The Ontario Cannabis Store lost $42M in the last fiscal year, which ended the day before the province began its problem-plagued retail rollout. Of that number, at least $10M went to pay for renovations and equipment for stores under the previous Liberal government's plan to open provincial-monopoly Ontario Cannabis Stores, a project the Ford government abandoned almost immediately.
- The Financial Post broke the $42M loss down in greater detail.
Financial Post - Ontario's loss is confusing: though it had no physical stores in which to sell product, it also had none of the expenses associated with physical stores. Arguing again for greater transparency of the OCS, Brock business professor Michael J. Armstrong concluded, "just running the place consumed 60% of its regular spending. That's a lot for a warehouse and a website." (Quebec only spent 24% on operations while it was running 12 stores, and does not rely on a central warehouse.)
Globe and Mail
Processing of applications for new REC stores in Ontario is frozen for at least two weeks due to the judicial review of 11 disqualified applications, but the wait could be longer.
Twitter—Mikey Cannabis
- Abi Roach, owner of Toronto's Hotbox Café and Lounge, launched a petition against the Ontario REC lottery, saying "Cannabis is legal now. Why can I not apply for a regular license?"

What is SuperStream and what does it mean for me?
SuperStream is a government reform aimed at improving the efficiencies in the superannuation system. Under SuperStream, employers must make super contributions by submitting data and payments electronically in accordance with the SuperStream standard. All superannuation funds, including SMSFs, must receive contributions electronically in accordance with this standard.
From 1 July 2014:
- employers with 20 or more employees will use SuperStream to send contribution data and payments electronically
- all super funds (including SMSFs) must receive any employer contributions sent to their fund in accordance with the SuperStream standard.
From 1 July 2015, employers with 19 or fewer employees will also be required to send contributions data and payment electronically.
However, some may choose to implement SuperStream sooner.
All SMSF trustees need to determine when employers intend to start implementing SuperStream.
It is important to note that contributions sent to an SMSF from a related-party employer are exempt from the SuperStream system and can continue to be made using existing processes.
At LBW Chartered Accountants, we will be helping SMSF trustees implement SuperStream:
You will receive a letter to provide to your employer by 31st May 2014 stating your SMSF's:
- Name
- BSB and Account Number; and
- An electronic service address for receipt of a contribution data message.
LBW Chartered Accountants current SMSF software will be compliant with the SuperStream data requirements, and the electronic data functions and service address will be facilitated though Australia Post via our super software.
If you do not wish to have us instruct our software provider to obtain a SuperStream electronic service address and data messaging functionality for your fund, then please advise us as soon as possible so that we can direct you to other providers.
Once the SuperStream system is bedded down it is expected that the ongoing efficiencies it generates will outweigh the costs.

"Sometimes we are asked what it is we do all day – given we are not trading in and out of our holdings. One answer is that we are watching very closely the capital allocation decisions taken by the boards of the companies we hold – knowing that cumulatively and over time it is the caliber of those decisions that will determine the long term success, or otherwise, of our own investment decisions, made with your capital." – Nick Train, co-founder of Lindsell Train Fund Management. (Link)
As we approach the end of FY20 and look back at the past two and half decades i.e. the time since Financial Services in India started becoming part of the private sector, there have been a select few individuals who have managed to successfully steer their organisations through the multiple crises that the Indian Financial Services industry has seen. In a series of blogs, we delve deeper into the decisions taken by these bankers not only because they have created financial institutions which have endured the test of time but also because they have had a major impact on the evolution of the broader Financial Services industry. While these men come from different backgrounds, they share two common traits which we believe are key to creating wealth – a high level of integrity and prudent capital allocation skills. In part I of this series we delve deeper into the key decisions made by the world's wealthiest self-made banker – Uday Kotak.
Uday Kotak's entrepreneurial spirit and smart capital allocation
Warren Buffett's observation: "No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by making nine women pregnant" is apt for the financial services industry. As many who have tried and miserably failed have realised, Financial Services businesses cannot be built in a few years or even a decade's time. Coming from a family of Kutchi Gujarati traders, Uday Kotak refused to join his family business and started a bill discounting business in 1985 from funds borrowed from friends and family. Uday Kotak's entrepreneurial journey from the founding of Kotak Mahindra Financial Services Ltd. (KMFSL) in his family's 300 square foot office to recently claiming the spot for the richest self-made banker in the world has been a journey of 35 years.
To cite an early example of Uday Kotak's entrepreneurial acumen, in the mid-1980s when bank spreads used to be 10-11%, banks used to borrow at 6% and lend at 17%. Nelco, a Tata company used to borrow money for 90 days at 17% through bill discounting. Uday Kotak convinced his friends and family to lend him money at 12% which was in turn lent out to Nelco at 16% and that is how the bill discounting business started. It was a win-win for everyone – the depositors earned 12% on Tata risk vs. the 6% they earned on deposits and Nelco could borrow at 16% i.e. at 100 bps lower.
At the receiving end of another example of Uday Kotak's innovation and customer centricity was Citibank. Citibank was the only bank disbursing car loans in 1989 and the lending rate used to be 27-28%. There was no way KMFSL could compete against the might of Citibank, but Citibank had one constraint – they could lend against cars only when the cars were available, and in the 1980s cars were in short supply in India. So, KMFSL started buying and booking cars in advance, because it usually took 6-8 months for cars to get delivered. Whenever a customer wanted a car, KMFSL could give a car along with the finance. They didn't charge the customer a premium on the car, but the customer had to take a loan from KMFSL. The car finance business was where the spread was, and KMFSL was able to compete with a giant like Citi within 3 years of its incorporation.
Over the years, Uday Kotak has shown admirable capital allocation skills, whether it is in terms of distributing dividends, acquisitions, entering into joint ventures, buying stakes of JV partners or timing of QIPs. We have elaborated here are some of the key capital allocation decisions taken by Uday Kotak over the years:
Investment implications
Lending businesses are necessarily highly leveraged businesses with a high reinvestment rate. This unique characteristic of financial businesses further amplifies the impact of capital allocation decisions made by the CEOs of these organisations. As Uday Kotak has shown, good capital allocation can lead to extraordinary results while poor decisions can pose an existential threat to a bank or NBFC. Even though Kotak Mahindra Bank is currently sitting on excess capital, we believe Uday Kotak's prudent capital allocation skills will ensure that KMB generates returns well above cost of capital in the times to come. Therefore, we continue to focus our energies on finding and staying invested in conservative financial services businesses which have a long historical track record of having made good capital allocation decisions.

How Index Funds Work Best in a Portfolio
The defaults are 12 and 26-periods for the EMAs, with the signal line as a 9-period EMA of the MACD line. The shorter moving average (12-day) is faster and responsible for most MACD movements. The longer moving average (26-day) is slower and less reactive to price changes in the underlying security.

Answer by scientist32 (7)
Insulin a hormone is naturally produced in the pancreas. Insulin production is regulated by the amount of glucose, or sugar, and proteins in the blood stream. Outside of the body insulin is made through standard molecular biology techniques. The DNA coding for the insulin gene is expressed to produce insulin protein, which is purified and sold.
Answer by agapenurse (30)
Within the body, insulin is made by special cells in the pancreas. Insulin used in injections to treat diabetes is created by genetic engineering technology.
Answer by Jess54 (95)
In the human body, this hormone is both produced and secreted in the pancreas (by its Beta - cells to be more exact).
Answer by PJ24 (220)
Insulin used to be purified from pigs or cows, but nowadays it is produced through recombinant DNA technology in unicellular organisms, such as E. coli, and then purified for human use.
Answer by james1157 (5)

Pandemic spurs decline in women hired into leadership roles, undoing years of progress
Companies have promoted fewer women into leadership roles over the past year, erasing years of gains for female professionals — and reflecting yet another adverse consequence of the pandemic on working women.
The COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced more than 2 million women out of the workforce, has also led to a remarkable decline in women being hired into leadership roles over the past 12 months, according to data from professional networking site LinkedIn.
Women in struggling industries including recreation and travel, the retail sector, education and professional services, have earned fewer senior management spots during the pandemic, according to LinkedIn's research.
Outlying industries, including health care and manufacturing, bucked the trend and made progress in hiring women into senior-level positions during the pandemic.
But in the hard-hit recreation and travel industry, which suffered job losses across the board, 33.94% of women were hired in senior management roles in 2020, compared to 34.97% one year earlier.
The retail industry also backtracked on adding women to leadership roles by nearly one percentage point, according to the LinkedIn data. The education, corporate services, nonprofit, media and communications, and consumer goods fields also reversed course on hiring women into leadership roles.
And there's even more grim news for women in the workplace.
A second new report on gender pay equity found that the pandemic has erased years of progress in working to achieve parity among men and women.
Indeed, yet another generation of women will have to wait for gender parity, the World Economic Forum found. It will now take 135 years to close the gender gap at current rates, up from an estimated 99 years before the pandemic.
Women were more frequently employed in sectors hardest hit by lockdowns and other coronavirus restrictions, and many also found themselves voluntarily withdrawing from the workforce to take care of children when they suddenly lacked access to in-person schooling and daycare alternatives.

The internet exploded over the following line from Roxane Gay's New York Times piece this week and I'm not sure I agree with the chord it's striking in people:
"The greatest shame would be to reach the end of our lives and have the epitaph read, 'They worked really hard.'"
I am aware Gay is arguing that your life cannot and should not be all work. But that's not what she wrote. "Had no life outside of my job" is sad, but it doesn't mean you worked hard or well. It means you had no life.
I'm not sure the quality of "having worked hard" would be the greatest shame. The things I've worked hardest on are the things I'm most proud of. They're the things that most define me and the meaning I derive from my world. I work endlessly hard at parenting. I work hard at writing. I work ceaselessly on personal growth, self-reflection, and improvement. I work hard at sprinting up hills and doing squats.
And, if I'm telling the truth, the thing I would like to work harder on is work.
My dad used to say, "No one gets to their deathbed and wonders if they should have attended more meetings." I appreciate the sentiment, only, I think this applies to a certain type of workaholic who is missing other aspects of their life.
I really want to attend more meetings. Perhaps because I felt left out of them for so long and am dying to get back in. Perhaps because I love what I do and in my organization "meetings" aren't a waste of time, but a coalescing of minds moving projects forward.
When I worked at a marketing agency, meetings were disrespectful holes of mediocrity and stagnation. Still, I do not concede that people who attend meetings professionally are "working hard."
Quite the opposite.
The workaholics I know have poor time management skills, horrible psychological health, no boundaries, low self-esteem, and get lackluster results. Hard work and workaholism are different. If Roxane Gay is standing against workaholism (aka: addiction to the illusion of working, busy for the sake of being busy), then I'm with her. But I like hard work.
I think it deserves respect.
I'm proud of the amount of work that went into repairing communication with my partner. I'm proud of the amount of work that went (and continues to go) into writing. I'm proud of the amount of work that goes into caregiving. I'm proud of the amount of work that goes into building and scaling a business. I'm proud of the amount of work I've put into my friendships and mental and physical health.
I would be delighted if my epithet let people know I worked hard. But – and this is a big but – that's because what I value is aligned with where I am spending my time.
So many of us whose lives get eaten by work, do not value what we do or why we're doing it.
The majority of Americans don't feel that work is a beautiful extension of who they are. Where doing the work (even and especially when it's hard) feels self-honoring and fulfilling. Where work fills your cup and lifts you up. Most Americans are in the obligatory category that fosters resentment and self-abandonment, and perpetuates the hedonic treadmill of "never enough."
You're never good enough: You don't earn enough, you haven't achieved enough, you need to do more, be more, have more, make more, try harder <— this is not the foundation for healthy hard work.
It's a recipe for how to find yourself in burnout, missing out on life and the beautiful moments in front of you.
Gay writes, "We should think about how to nurture who we are beyond what we do."
Yes, AND.
I contest having a system set up where my identity is defined narrowly either by what I do for work or what I do for fun. When will we allow for the integration of the entire person?
Part of who you are IS what you do. You may not agree or like that part (I certainly did not like who I was when I was forced to work in menial jobs that killed my soul), but they were emblematic of who I was then and the value systems I upheld (I sought stability, credibility, and believed that less money I made, the more legitimate I was as an academic).
"We should all take some time to reflect on who we are and what gives us meaning beyond what we do. We should think about how to nurture who we are beyond what we do. The greatest shame would be to reach the end of our lives and have the epitaph read, 'They worked really hard.'
We should all take time to reflect on what gives us meaning, period.
If working really hard is part of what gives you meaning, then there is absolutely no shame in that.
*NOTE: it matters that you know the difference between what "gives you meaning" and "what feels good because I get validation and approval from others." These are not equivalent. The former is self-honoring. The latter will lead you directly to a life of quiet desperation.
Work hard, on the things that light you up.
But first, you must discover what lights you up.
PS: Speaking of working hard, Kristin Hatcher and I have cooked up a community of practice for people who are ready to get to work on their dream projects. If you have a screenplay you want to finish, a blog to launch, a podcast to get out into the world – come check it out and get on the waitlist.
We're announcing when doors open next week.

The City of Roswell has improved and strengthened its online presence with this recently launched new website. The site uses the same address (www.roswell-nm.gov) as the city's former website, but has an updated look and a myriad of information and features – many of them debuting on the new website – to serve both residents and visitors alike.
Those using the new website will be able to sign up for emergency email or text notifications, as well as notifications to alert them whenever new information is posted on the website. People can choose from a menu of options and select what interests them, from news releases (which can be specified by department) to events and meetings, or when a vacancy occurs on a committee, board or commission on which someone may be interested in serving. The website offers options that allow residents to pay a water bill online, print an application for things such as building permits and business licenses, and search the card catalog of the Roswell Public Library.
While someone pulls up the city website to check out the animals that are available for adoption at the animal shelter, someone else can be using the site to book a flight into or out of the Roswell International Air Center. While some citizens are keeping up to date with the latest news on the Police Department pages, others can be deciding which of the many activities and events offered by Parks and Recreation, the library or the Roswell Museum and Art Center they will take advantage of, and still others could be submitting their own community events for consideration of placement in the website's calendar.
The new website was developed using input from staffers of many city departments, who worked with representatives of CivicPlus, the company contracted by the city to create the new website. CivicPlus, based in Manhattan, Kan., specializes in developing government websites.
In the past, numerous city departments have had their own individual websites. The city's former main website offered links to some of those department websites, but none of the websites was directly connected to the other. The new city website brings all of its departments together as part of a central site, making user navigation more convenient, and visually connects individual departments' webpages with a common city-wide design theme throughout the site while still maintaining each department's uniqueness. (In addition, many city departments continue to keep citizens updated through the departments' individual Facebook pages and other social media, which can be found through links on the city website.)
The new City of Roswell website allows citizens to email the mayor or city councilors, read city financial reports, review city job openings and apply online for a position, and report any issue that needs attention, such as a pothole, water leak, litter, non-working street light, damaged sidewalk or something else. Residents can electronically submit an application for a position on a city committee, board or commission. Companies and individuals can review bid requests and requests for proposals the city has open.
The abundance of online information also includes agendas and minutes from the city council and its subordinate panels, public bus routes, crime stats, and fire-safety tips from the Roswell Fire Department. In addition, those new to the community or considering a move to Roswell can take a look at the listings of schools, hospitals, churches and community service organizations, while visitors will find useful information about lodging options. The website also provides access to the Roswell Chamber of Commerce Relocation and Visitors Guide.
The information and features discussed here are a sampling of what is found on the new city website. The City of Roswell encourages you to keep exploring this site to discover everything it offers and how it can be of assistance to you.

Published in The Brigade
Dispatch (Journal of the Brigade of the
American Revolution), vol. XXVIII, no. 3 (Autumn 1998), 12-13.
[This is a follow-up to John Rees's article "'Properly fixed upon the Men ...' Linen Bags for Camp Kettles," Brigade Dispatch, vol. XXVII, No. 3 (Autumn 1997).)]
Among the problems to be resolved prior to the Continental Army's 1781 campaign season, was the most practicable method of transporting camp kettles. Quartermaster General Timothy Pickering wrote General Washington on 14 January 1781
I [previously] mentioned the provision of carriages ... for officers, & for... transporting the camp kettles of the troops. The two horse carts or tumbrils for both purposes may be constructed at Fishkill before the opening of the campaign.1
In a memorandum accompanying his 14 January letter to David Humphrey, aide to the commander in chief, Pickering commented on a 9 January general order directing that bags for carrying kettles be made from tents too worn out to be repaired:
If bags for camp kettles are made of the oldest tents, they will soon wear out, & tear with the slightest touch: Major Cogswell & I (before the publication of the Genl. Order) had proposed having one two horse waggon so constructed as to carry the kettles of a whole regt.2
In the main body of the 14 January letter Pickering expanded on his proposition:
I think the old tents if made into cases for the camp kettles will not answer your expectations. They have sometimes been made into forage bags but would not pay for the expense of making them up. Camp kettles ever seemed to me to be a disgusting incumbrance to the troops when they were required to carry them. If covered with close strong cases the difficulty would in a degree be obviated: but then they must be carried at their backs (in the German manner) & each furnished with a leathern belt or sling. If the troops carry their kettles & are attacked on their march, the kettles are of course thrown away. For these reasons I request your Excellency's attention to the method of carrying the kettles proposed in the memorandum I left with Mr. Humphrey's. One two horse tumbril, about six feet in the body in length, with higher sides than usual (like a coal cart) will carry all the kettles of a regiment, with one small bowl to each, until our kettles can be made with covers.3
Each tumbril was to carry 116 kettles and 18 axes. A 1780 British military picture includes a cart which fits Pickering's recommendations; a detail of the cart appears below.
A typical 18th-century cart or tumbril. Continental Army kettle carts would have been "about six feet in the body in length," with higher sides, and pulled by two horses. (Detail from 1780 painting of a camp kitchen in Hyde Park, attributed to Paul Sandby. David Chandler and Ian Beckett, eds., The Oxford Illustrated History of the British Army (Oxford and New York, 1994), between pp. 46-47.)It is interesting that carts were proposed as an adjunct to kettle bags, and that "one small bowl" was to be included with each kettle. From examining equipment returns and issues, it seems that each six-man mess received only one bowl, possibly using it for food preparation and as a common eating dish, like a trencher.
As for the linen kettle bags, in February 1781 the commander in chief set aside Pickering's objection to using old tents, stating, "As these bags will have to bear little weight they are not liable to the same objection as the forage bags."4
A 1788 German military text includes illustrations of a kettle and bag, clarifying what Pickering meant by carrying the kettles "in the German manner".
Illustrations from a 1788 German military manual showing a camp kettle with detached frying pan (figures 5 and 6); kettle with cover on (figure 7); and kettle in carrying bag (figure 13). (Was ist Officier waehrend eines Feldzugs zu wissen noethig [trans., "What it is necessary for each officer during a campaign"] (Carlsruhe, 1788), plate 3.)Notes
