Dear Brethren and Co-Workers in Christ:
Greetings again from the Five Cities region of California.
In addition to the routine activities, I have been spending a lot of time writing a new booklet on prayer. A draft was finished today, so I sent it to New Zealand for editing. There is also still a lot of work to be done related to its front and back covers.
On more 'routine' matters, the recommended sermon for this upcoming Sabbath is part two of a two-part series on Satan's plan. I also expect to cover other aspects of Satan's plan in additional sermons/sermonettes. Many would be shocked if they realized how Satan has been planning to deal with end time Christians. But as we in CCOG are to be wise and able to instruct others (cf. Daniel 11:32-33), we need to know and not be ignorant of Satan's devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). Hopefully, those not with us will see why this type of knowledge is needed for the end times.
Secular Radio
As mentioned in the last letter, I did a radio interview on Tuesday, February 17, 2015. The host and I discussed the dangers of Mardi Gras and Shrove Tuesday (see also Mardi Gras is not Christian; Pope Francis was once a 'Mardis Gras bouncer;' Shrove Tuesday?), abortion (see also Abortion, the Bible, and a Woman's Right to Choose), and some ideas that science has about 'apocalyptic' events. As we did not finish that last item as planned, I was invited back and covered the rest of the items from a report from Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute and the Global Challenges Foundation titled 12 Risks that threaten human civilisation (see also Oxford University's 12 likely causes of the Apocalypse). We also discussed some of the problems associated with the movie Fifty Shades of Grey (see 'Fifty Shades of Grey' wins at box office, showing sin sells).
These interviews were broadcast over the Genesis Communications Network. The host said he is also an ABC affiliate and the show is broadcast on the DISH Network in Europe. He has stated that DISH network in Europe has something like 1100 radio channels and covers Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Asia, including Russia.
Statement of Beliefs in German and Italian!
The Statement of Beliefs of the Continuing Church of God has just been translated into Deutsche (German). It is now available online at: Glaubenserklärung der Continuing Church of God.
The Statement of Beliefs of the Continuing Church of God has just been translated into Italian. It now is available online at: Dichiarazione del Credo della Continuing Church of God.
In addition to English, we also have the Statement in other languages such as Spanish/español: Declaración de las Doctrinas de la Continuación de la Iglesia de Dios; Tagalog: Paglalahad ng Mga Paniniwala ng Patuloy na Iglesya ng Diyos; Mandarin Chinese 继续神的教会的信仰声明; Kiswahili: KATIKA LUGHA YA KISWAHILI; and Dutch: Verklaring van geloofspunten van de Continuing Church of God.
I again wish to thank our volunteer translators for all of their hard work. This truly is an international work. Interestingly, the German and Italian Statements were translated by people who currently live in Canada and Australia, respectively.
Building up and improving our online materials in multiple languages is part of how we are now preparing for the final phase of the work.
Lighting for YouTube Videos
Last week, I mentioned lighting changes for the video sermons and sermonettes. But as this resulted in reflective glare, I decided to wear my contact lenses instead of glasses. Every day, hopefully, we all learn. And each week, we try to do better.
Africa Update
Received the following from CCOG Pastor Evans Ochieng today:
I went to visit our new congregations in Rift Valley where I met Bomet Congregation that is under pastor Kosgey.. I also met pastor Sawek and other members from Masailand Transmara. I spent two days in Bomet and on the Sabbath I met all of the congregation. The meeting was so nice. We were 37 members including me and John Okinda who accompanied me.
Most of these members are old members of Seventh Day Church of God who decided to join CCOG after study many truths from CCOG website and also met first time when I visit them. This is my second time to visit Bomet Congregation. They were very happy when they received our Magazines, books and song books which I gave them. …
I noticed that these congregations in Rift valley are bigger that they cannot fit in Ndhiwa During the feast of Tabernacles. Even though my plan was to have one feast site in Kenya this year, it can't work because the growth is high that it will force us to have more than one feast site. These members in Rift valley are so many. That means, we shall have feast site in Rift valley and it needs a big space that can accommodate all congregations here. I tried to call you through phone to talk with you when we were together with the pastor but I didn't go through. After that, I traveled to various congregations.
This coming Sabbath I will go to Kisii to meet our new group. We shall go with Ezekiel Oanda, our Area representative in Kisii.
The power is going off. I will send more information on Sunday or Monday.
A lot is going on in Africa, specifically Kenya. Please pray that we have more laborers for the harvest (Matthew 9:38) and that we can properly support the growth as it will take significant funds to make the Feast of Tabernacles work well over there.
World News Events
The Islamic State has been in the news a lot related to murders in Denmark (e.g. Danish terrorist had sworn allegiance to 'caliph' of the Islamic State), Egypt (see Egypt bombs Libyan stronghold for Islamic State after Copts are killed), and the removal and selling of human organs in Iraq (see UN suspects Islamic State is taking and selling human organs to fund terrorism). The USA is trying to put together a coalition to deal with that group–and as I have written before, part of that coalition could set the stage for the formation of the final King of the South of biblical prophecy (Daniel 11:40-43).
The Europeans helped put together a ceasefire for eastern Ukraine (see Ceasefire deal reached for Ukraine: Will it really bring peace?) that has had problems (see Separatists claim capture of territory in Debaltseve, Ukraine). The President of Ukraine has already claimed that the ceasefire has been violated. Because of what is happening related to eastern Ukraine and the limited military support from the USA, some German leaders are looking at improving the military power of Europe to be able to stand against Russia. Germany will rise up further militarily (cf. Isaiah 10:5-11).
On what might be considered to be a distantly related note, scientists are getting excited about the upgrades that were made to Europe's Large Hadron Collider (see Scientists excited about Europe's updated Large Hadron Collider). I have warned for years that technology coming out of European projects like the Large Hadron Collider will be a factor in the Europeans developing military prowess consistent with the prophecies in places such Revelation 13:4 and Daniel 11:39.
In 'entertainment' news, the movie Fifty Shades of Grey was released to a worldwide audience and became a box office smash (see 'Fifty Shades of Grey' wins at box office, showing sin sells). The movie is based upon a book with the same title that promotes fornication, lust, and the inflicting of physical pain (see also 'Fifty Shades of Grey' sends out a horrible message). Although the movie was banned in some countries, it has proven to be wildly popular and shows that we are seeing more and more moral depravity becoming 'mainstream.'
As far as moral depravity becoming more 'mainstream,' last week US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg stated that she believes that the American public has changed enough recently that it will now accept homosexual marriage (see Justice Ginsburg: Americans are ready for homosexual marriage to be a Constitutional right).
Notice something that God warned the children of Israel:
22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.
24 'Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. (Leviticus 18:22-28)
The increasing acceptance of behaviors that the Bible condemns does not bode well for the USA, its Anglo-Saxon descended allies, not ultimately for the rest of the world (cf. Matthew 24:21-22; Romans 1:18-32).
Suggested Sabbath Service
Here is our suggested format for Sabbath services this week:
- 2-3 hymns (our songbook, The Bible Hymnal, contains the materials from the 1974 Bible Hymnal from the old WCG with new covers, plus ten additional hymns; there is also some Choral Accompaniment online).
- Opening prayer.
- Sermonette, which for most who receive this letter via email will be a recorded one: Collapse of the Euro and Dollar? War in 2020? A related written article is: M&M: What's ahead for Europe and the US dollar? War in 2020? Other sermonettes are also available at the Bible News Prophecy channel.
- Announcements (if any; though for many it will be this letter) and one hymn.
- Sermon, which for most who receive this letter via email will be a recorded one. The one suggested for this week is: Satan's Plan is More Dramatic than Many Realize. A related written article is titled: Satan's Plan. Other sermons are also available at the ContinuingCOG channel.
- Final hymn.
- Closing prayer.
Note: If you have a slow internet connection, you can watch these by starting the video, then below it (and towards the right) look for an outline of a gear–if you click on that, it will allow the YouTube video to be played with lower video quality, but at least it will not stop often–you can select a quality as low as 144p.
If your internet connection is still too slow (as my home one is) and/or you prefer audio messages to audio-visuals ones, go to the YouTube link for the message, click on SHOW MORE related to the description. You will then see something that says, "Download MP3." Below that is a link to an MP3 file. Most computers (and even some cellular telephones) will allow MP3 files to be downloaded and played. This is an option we have made available (but we are also looking into ways to improve that as well)–and, of course, we have written article options that we list each week.
Some people have found that if their internet connections are not fast enough, that they can simply listen to the messages that are found at the new Bible News Prophecy online radio channel.
IN CASE YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A 'LETTER TO THE BRETHREN' FOR ANY WEEK, REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE MANY SERMON MESSAGES ON THE ContinuingCOG channel AND MANY SERMONETTE MESSAGES ON THE Bible News Prophecy channel.
Concluding Comments
The Apostle Peter wrote:
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (1 Peter 5:8-10)
Brethren, Satan is for real and he does have a plan. Resist Satan and be steadfast in the faith.

Bee stings are an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous experience. Mettigel It's a good idea to know what to do when you get stung, especially if you have a medical condition that increases your risk of getting stung.
The stinger of a bee, wasp or yellow jacket gets into your skin through a small opening in the insect's body. Some stingers are retractable and stay with the bee, while others, like those of honey bees, remain in your skin.
Most people who are stung will experience redness, pain and swelling at the sting site. Some may also experience itching. In most cases, the sting will subside within a few days.
Those with an allergy to bee venom can have a serious reaction called anaphylaxis, which can cause rashes or hives, throat swelling, nausea and vomiting, wheezing, dizziness, a rapid pulse, or loss of consciousness. In these severe reactions, people must seek medical help immediately.
If you're allergic to bee venom, see your doctor for an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen or Auvi-Q), which can be used quickly by anyone who is stung. This can greatly reduce the chance of experiencing a life-threatening reaction.
It is important to take steps to avoid being stung by bees in the first place, since they usually sting people who wander too close to their nests or startle them with sudden movements. This is a very hard impulse to control, so try to move away slowly and gently when you encounter bees in your yard or other areas where they're likely to sting.
In addition, you should not attempt to swat or jerk at a bee; this can make them feel threatened and sting you more. The bee's stinger releases an alarm pheromone, which can signal other bees to respond by stinging you as well.
Home remedies for a bee sting
Many people swear by home remedies for bee stings, including witch hazel and calendula cream. Apply a dab of these to the sting site to prevent infection and reduce swelling and pain. You can also use a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel to cool the area and soothe itchy skin.
Cold compresses are another common way to treat a bee sting, since they limit blood flow to the skin. These compresses can be applied directly to the sting for about 10 minutes.
Other home remedies for a bee sting include soaking the sting site in warm water and applying a bandage or cloth to the affected area. You can also re-apply the same treatment as you did before and cover it with a bandage.
The main goal is to remove the stinger as soon as possible, since it keeps pumping venom into your skin. While pulling or pinching the stinger out isn't ideal, you should do this if you're unable to remove it with a simple brush or tweezer.
You should call 911 right away if you have any of these symptoms: rashes, throat or tongue swelling, trouble breathing, a rapid pulse or loss of consciousness. You may need emergency medical assistance if you have multiple stings, which can be life threatening for people with certain medical conditions.

Oddly enough, I have been painting for the last couple weeks. Why do you all seem so shocked? You didn't know I painted? Neither did I!
Basically, this is what happened... I wanted to interview one of my very favorite artists and oracle deck creators, Rassouli. I had just reviewed the new gorgeous "Great Eastern Oracle" (Blue Angel Publishing, 2022). I wanted to know more about Rassouli's journey in creating it and his unique Fusionart. But, what started out as a print Q&A for this column, morphed into a live improvisational discussion via Zoom! And, along the way, I got to experience the wild fun that is Rassouli's "Wisdom of Madness Playshop" online workshops.
As it turns out, it is okay if you don't call yourself a painter. You don't have to be to sign up for one of his workshops. So I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to hang out with such an amazing artist and so many wonderfully creative folks and tell you about it!
Here's the scoop: I now can highly recommend Rassouli's workshops! It's unlike anything I could have imagined. He drops so many jewels of wisdom while teaching about art, artists, and life! He helps you find your way of painting even if, like me, you don't have a way of painting! But it's more than painting, what he is teaching are things that can be applied to many areas of your life, like your relationships, your career, your day-to-day... you name it! I find it mind-blowing and it feels transformative in the very best way!
Now about that interview... of course I was excited about the prospect of interviewing Freydoon Rassouli, the internationally renowned artist behind such awesome oracle decks as the The Rumi Oracle, The Hero's Journey Dream Oracle, Sufi Wisdom Oracle and the new Great Eastern Oracle. But, once we connected for this month's column, things got even more exciting!
Instead of a written interview, it became a live totally unscripted conversation. I had such a great time chatting with Rassouli on April 16th! The replay is posted below:
I want to thank all who attended the live interview. It was so great to see all of you! I have so much gratitude to the fabulous Rassouli for sitting down to chat with me...thank you! And big thanks to Mo for his technical wizardry! And shout out to Dax for his editing magic!
Enjoy the interview and check out the links below for more great things!

[edit] General Information
History Documentary hosted by Denzel Washington, published by BBC in 2013 - English narration
[edit] Cover
[edit] Information
Documentary commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's March on Washington, a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. This programme tells the story of the how the march for jobs and freedom began, speaking to the people who organised and participated in it. Using rarely seen archive footage the film reveals the background stories surrounding the build up to the march as well as the fierce opposition it faced from the JFK administration, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI and widespread claims that it would incite racial violence, chaos and disturbance. The film follows the unfolding drama as the march reaches its ultimate triumphs, gaining acceptance from the state, successfully raising funds and in the end, organised and executed peacefully - and creating a landmark moment in the struggle for civil rights and racial equality in the united states.
Including interviews with some of the key actors: members of the inner circles of the core organizational groups such as Jack O'Dell, Clarence B. Jones, Julian Bond and Andrew Young; Hollywood supporters and civil rights campaigners including Harry Belafonte, Diahann Carroll and Sidney Poitier; Performing artists at the March such as Joan Baez and Peter Yarrow; as well as JFK administration official, Harris Wofford; the CBS Broadcaster who reported from the March, Roger Mudd; Clayborne Carson, the founding director of Stanford's Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute and a participant in the March; as well as those who witnessed the march on TV and were influenced by it, such as Oprah Winfrey, and most of all, the remembrances of the ordinary citizens who joined some 250,000 Americans at the capital on that momentous.

Conservationists have reclaimed the last such commercial fishing license in the northern Great Barrier Reef, paving the way for the creation of a Tasmanian-sized 'no net zone' to protect dugongs, dolphins and turtles.
WWF-Australia announced on Monday that it had purchased and would withdraw the commercial 'gillnet' license from Tony Riesenweber – which held the 'last significant quota' for the northern reef – creating a 100,000 sq km refuge spanning from Cape Flattery to Torres Strait.
Richard Leck, oceans manager for WWF-Australia, said now is the time for state and federal governments to ban commercial gillnets on the northern Great Barrier Reef forever.
"By buying gillnet licenses, WWF did the heavy lifting," he said.
"Creating one of the largest dugong sanctuaries in the world is an initiative of global significance.
"Now we are calling on the Australian and Queensland governments to create a special management area on the far north of the reef to permanently protect this area from commercial gillnet fishing."
It came after WWF launched its vision of a 'Net Free North' after buying another of the region's commercial gillnet licenses in 2018.
Leck said sea turtles, snubfin dolphins, sawfish, hammerhead sharks and the critically endangered Bizant River shark would now also be protected. He also called for an expanded network of net-free zones along the Great Barrier Reef coasts.
Although the licenses purchased by the WWF would "never again be used for commercial gillnet fishing", it hoped to hand them over to traditional owners in Cape Town for "sustainable fishing" practices such as crabbing or angling. in the mud, or to generate income from charters. .
The organization reportedly paid Riesenweber less than six figures for his license.
Riesenweber primarily sought to catch barramundi with the gillnet, which he said he used at or around river mouths and areas with muddy or sandy bottoms.
The fisherman described the WFF offer as a rare case of "someone from the outside doing something positive" for an industry he said has been abandoned by the government.
"They're trying to support the industry, in many ways," Riesenweber said of WWF.
"So at least some fishermen can come out with some dignity."
Conservationists describe gillnets as "walls of death", but Riesenweber disputed their characterization as indiscriminate killers. He said commercial operators had a vested interest in sustainable fishing, but described the sale of his license as "a compromise".
"They wanted it, they had a good reason for it and they made me an offer which I thought was reasonable," he said. "We all want the same outcome at the end of the day… what we need to do is understand everyone's point of view.
"You never trust your enemy, but you can understand him."
The 68-year-old said he would continue to fish commercially on the outer reefs, but was worried about rising fuel prices and seafood imports.
Riesenweber said his grandfather fished in Moreton Bay and his father died on a trawler in 1971.
"When I retire I want to be able to buy fresh Australian fish," he said. "But the way we're heading is we won't be able to do that."
Leck said WWF supports sustainable fishing on the reef – commercial and recreational.
"It's just unfortunate that in the World Heritage area we still have a number of poor fishing practices and a lot of room for improvement in fisheries management," Leck said.
Riesenweber's is the fourth gillnet license purchased by WWF on the reef. Two were purchased primarily to protect dugongs, two others for hammerhead sharks.
"It is not normal practice for a conservation organization to purchase and suspend commercial net fishing licenses," Leck said.
"But it was a practical way to remove the threat of gillnets from a section of the reef [that is] incredibly important for endangered species.
WWF has focused on the northern part of the reef because it is home to the greatest proportion of threatened marine wildlife, with the area north of Cape Flattery supporting around 7,000 dugongs and 282,000 juvenile and adult large turtles.
Leck said there were no formal records of endangered marine species becoming entangled and drowning in the nets. But the WWF points to recent marine deaths which they say demonstrate the dangers of gillnets.
In September 2018, six sawfish and two dugongs washed up on a beach south of Townsville. All are believed to have been killed by gillnets.
"Australian nature needs us now more than ever," said Leck.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 90 — The National Registration Department (NRD) has formed a special task force to check and update information on Malaysians aged 90 and above, and their status, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.
He said this followed claims that the deaths of the elderly, especially those aged 90 and above, had not been registered in the NRD system.
"The task force will be checking and updating information on these individuals and their status, whether they are still alive or had passed away.
"Among the approaches to be taken are by contacting their nearest next of kin and looking for their last known address registered with the NRD.
"If discovered that they had died based on confirmation by their next of kin and certain parties, the NRD will record their deaths based on the existing legal provisions," he said at the virtual 73rd NRD Day celebration, here, today.
Based on the NRD records, Hamzah said that 63,620 individuals aged 90 and above were still living.
On the registration of voters aged 18, he said the NRD was prepared to assist the Election Commission in the registration exercise by providing access to its (NRD) system on the individuals eligible to vote and in checking the electoral roll.
He also said that the NRD would continue to boost its going-to-the-ground initiatives such as the Menyemai Kasih Rakyat (Mekar) programme, aimed at helping individuals such as the disabled, elderly, invalid and those living in the interior areas who were unable to go to the NRD offices to obtain personal identity documents.
According to him, the NRD had carried out 4,116 Mekar programmes from 2017 until 2021, with 104,517 applications received covering the obtaining of birth certificates, identity cards and death certificates.

Brandy Shares Secret to Her Youthful Skin
It's hard to believe that Brandy is 43-years-old. She grew up right before fans' eyes, debuting as an actor when she was barely a teenager. Her first album was released when she was 14. The Moesha star's style is timeless – and with her healthy and glowing skin, she doesn't look a day over 20. In a recent interview with Glamour Magazine, Brandy shares her beauty secrets.
Brandy shares skin condition
The singer may be in her 40s but she's proving that youthful-looking skin at any age is possible. It's something she says she's worked her whole life to perfect. She revealed to Glamour that she struggled to get her skin to the place she desired when she was younger because of a skin condition she suffered from.

"I've worked on my skin all my life. I used to go to a lot of different dermatologists because I had eczema at one point," she says. "Now I've found my groove and the products that really work for my skin." She says IV therapy—also known as vitamin infusion therapy—has done wonders for her skin, as has taking biotin regularly for strong hair and nails.
Brandy recently started with IV therapy. She also swears by Natura Bissé line (though she is not a spokesperson, FYI). "You know the saying, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' So that's how I look at it," she says.
The 'Queens' star shares her skincare regime
Brandy is giving her fans an insight into how they can possibly get their skin as glowing as hers. When speaking with Glamour, she gave the publication a rundown of the mixture of products she uses for clean and beautiful skin.
For starters, she stresses the importance of removing makeup daily, as it causes buildup of the skin. She says Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleansing Wipes works best for her, even if she doesn't wear a full face that day. Brandy loves that the wipes hydrate her skin in the process.
For eye cream, Brandy relies on Natura Bissé Diamond Extreme. She says it keeps her under-eye bags to a minimum. "It's consistent," she says. "It does everything it says it's going to do. It doesn't feel too cakey or too thick, and all their products make my skin glow."

As someone who has dry skin, moisturizers and moisturizing cleansers are a must. She turns to Natura Bisse's Diamond White Rich Luxury Cleanse, as well as the Diamond Cocoon Daily Cleanse. "I love that the cleanser is very creamy," she says. "It feels like I'm putting lotion on my face, but it's not. It's cleansing my skin but also moisturizing it at the same time."
She also uses a facial cream, preferably Natura Bissé's Diamond Extreme Cream over her entire face. "It makes me feel like my skin stays super soft all day and not dry at all, even with all the makeup I wear on set," she says. "It's perfect for my skin."
She takes her body care regime seriously
Brandy also uses a facial mist, once in the morning to give her skin a boost, and once in the evening when she's prepping to take off her makeup. But she also takes it a step further and moisturizes her body as well, relying on a Black-owned brand called GSO Whipped Buttercream.
"It makes your skin feel so soft, like baby's bottom soft," she gushes. "I use the scrub and the butter whipped cream all over my body. I used to use cocoa butter, but since I found the Good Scents Oils line, I use that. It's amazing."

5 minute read | November.29.2023
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a fraud suit against SolarWinds and its chief information security officer (CISO), alleging they made false statements regarding the company's security practices and a security incident.
The crux of the claims is that the company and its CISO misrepresented company practices regarding the adoption of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, implementation of a secure development lifecycle for products and password and access controls.
The SEC also alleges that SolarWinds lacked required disclosure controls and procedures, which allegedly resulted in the company making false statements regarding a 2020 security event.
Here are three things companies should consider doing in light of the SEC's suit against Solar Winds:
1. Review disclosures and public statements regarding cybersecurity practices.
2. Prepare for new rules.
3. Assess disclosure controls and procedures.
On December 14, 2020, SolarWinds filed a Form 8-K stating that the company had been informed of a vulnerability in its Orion Software Platform resulting from a cyberattack. It was later reported that a Russian state-sponsored actor compromised SolarWinds' systems and used that access to create a vulnerability in Orion code the actor could exploit on Orion customer systems. This was known as the SUNBURST incident.
SolarWinds disclosed this year that the company and several of its executives had received notices indicating they were the targets of an ongoing SEC investigation into the company's handling of the incident.
On October 30, the SEC filed a civil action against the company and its CISO, alleging they made a variety of false statements prior to and following the SUNBURST incident and that the company had inadequate accounting and disclosure controls.
The SEC alleges that SolarWinds made false statements in a Security Statement on SolarWinds' website as well as in SolarWinds' Form 10-K, 10-Q, S-1 and S-3 Registration Statements. The action against the CISO is premised on his name and photo appearing on the Security Statement and his sub-certifications of the registration statements.

One of the oldest bars and restaurants in downtown Aspen is closing. This time for good, its owner says. Carolyn Sackariason has the details.
Little Annies Eating House opened in 1972. And on April 17, it will close permanently. That's according to owner Rohn Fleming. He took the over the fledgling business a few years ago and has tried to keep it going. But the economics have made it too difficult. He made the final decision on Friday.
"You know, we were all kind of hopeful," he said. "We were all trying to figure out a way to make it work and we kind of ran out of options, basically. I would like to thank everybody for standing behind us all this time. It's very hard for me. What bothers me is my employees, I love them all. They are like my family and the people who have been coming here for 40 years, or whatever the hell it is."
The future of Little Annie's has been threatened numerous times in the past few years. But Fleming and his landlords, Andy and Nikos Hecht, always reached agreement at the 11th hour to keep the watering hole afloat. Often that meant reduced — or free rent.
And in 2013, the Hechts saved the eatery from shuttering after its former owner failed to pay state and city sales taxes, which led to the restaurant and its property being seized. The Hechts spent $40,000 buying everything back from the state in order for Annie's to open again.
Andy Hecht says while it's an end of era, he is looking to the future.
"I think it is a great institution in this town and has spanned my life here," he said. "We both sort of arrived at the same time here, or close. It has to change so that change will hopefully give us another 30 years or 40 years. We'll do our best. For sure."
The Hyman Avenue space is approved for a remodel. When it does reopen as a restaurant, it must remain affordable per an agreement with the landlords and the city of Aspen.

what did i do ?
I hear all the worlds probe my scars
they cant seem to get passed the "bars"
they can't see the happy parts
the sappy art that lines me
they just couldnt seem see
what I was to be
I showed that my scars aren't bars that keep me in .
they do not keep me hidden
they dont keep me bed ridden
they are not like anything else
they are not aching wounds
they appear as unique as they are
they seem to contrast me
just right
it shows that i fight
that i can see the light
in the darkest night
they are here for life
and i see no
problem with that

With the continual advance of technology and the disruption it can generate, business leaders are facing questions around workforce requirements and how they can best provide for their organisations and employees in a changing world.
Findings from Criticaleye's HRD Retreat 2019 Research revealed that 87 percent of HRDs said they are facing business model disruption and their top priority is to retain talent and develop new skills.
However, workforce planning is not something for HR departments alone and neither is it a prescriptive practice nor an exact science – variations from organisation to organisation are inevitable.
Devyani Vaishampayan, Non-executive Director of BQF and a former FTSE 100 CHRO, says that businesses must consider the rise of the 'external workforce' and technology when addressing future requirements.
"The use of interims and contract skills is getting more common," she says. "However, 75-80 percent of the workforce today is still made up of full-time employees. This is expected to fall to 30 percent over the next few years because of two factors – machines replacing humans and the growth of the 'gig' economy.
"Strategic workforce planning will need to look at talent acquisition, career development and performance and reward processes very differently for this changing workforce."
Charlie Wagstaff, Managing Director at Criticaleye, believes businesses must change now. "Strategic workforce planning has come of age," he says. "Technology and the changing nature of business operations means more fluid skillsets are relevant now and for the future.
"Businesses have to act today and ensure they are future fit with the right people in the right places – it's non-negotiable."
"Businesses have to act today and ensure they are future fit with the right people in the right places – it's non-negotiable."
Motie Bring, General Manager of EMEA for the Global Enterprise eCommerce business at Worldpay, has first-hand experience of how new technology is changing the workforce. "We needed to move to a different way of working from a technology point of view, so we ended with an agile way of working to enable us to develop faster, keep up with the pace of change and... stay ahead of the game.
"You make sure you have staff who can embrace and cope with change on all different levels," he says.
Where responsibility lies
With changing workforces and transforming business models, a question arises around whether responsibility for retraining and reskilling rests with the employer or employee.
Andrea Dunstan, Non-executive Director at TI Fluid Systems and former Chief People Officer at Premier Farnell, says: "You can reskill some or all of your existing workforce – employers have a responsibility to evaluate that objectively and to decide what it is realistic to do."
It's a view with which Devyani agrees, adding that it makes sense from a commercial perspective. "There's the question of cost – retraining and reskilling can help avoid expensive redundancies and employee disengagement. Another factor is the changing need to acquire high-tech skills due to the increasing impact of digitisation. In a few years, businesses will be chasing the same external pool of limited and expensive talent so it's sensible to see how they can reskill their existing workforce."
However, different organisations will find different solutions and often that will come down to company size and resources. "How particular skills are developed or acquired can depend upon the nature of the business – fast growing, more agile businesses, may be more acquisitive," says Andrea. "Acquisition is a very quick way to buy a particular skill or talent set – it's a fast solution because these organisations tend to be more agile and smaller, plus they are unencumbered by bigger company processes which may slow things down. If it works it is a fast solution, but it is a higher-risk approach."
Tim Kiy, Chief of Staff at Barclays Africa Group, says that leaders need to look closely at their businesses before acting. "You need to have a clear vision of what you're moving to either in terms of reshaping the business going forward or giving it course correction. What is the destination you're moving towards and what does that look like in terms of the operational side of the business and your employee base?
"Your whole concept of recruitment and taking people through a personal career path, or a development plan, needs to be thought through just as much as the current workforce and what changes they may face."
Motie agrees that embracing new ways of working goes right to the top of an organisation. "You need the leadership to have a vision around it; have a plan they want to execute; and you need to have buy-in from stakeholders from the different parts of the business. It's not something that only one part of the company can work on without others joining in; that will not succeed."
For Andrea, similar questions arose at Premier Farnell, which had to move from a regional to a global operating model in order to remain competitive. Closely analysing the business and identifying where it fell short allowed the leadership team to evaluate what skills, capabilities, attitudes and mindsets it would need going forward.
"It is key when undertaking a substantive business change that the right leadership tone and behaviour is set at the top of the organisation. If leaders can't make the change and instead continue to exhibit the old behaviours of 'I am doing it my way', then they have to be exited, which is what we did."
Learning Culture
Tim identifies three levels in the business that should be brought into strategic workforce planning – the executives, the managers and the individuals. The executive team needs to look at the business strategy and assess what changes to the workforce are implied. Then it should consider how it can best support the managers who may require training to oversee the people doing those new jobs. Finally, it must think about what the business can do for the individual employees who need to develop such new skills.
"It's about how you re-orientate your entire business to a learning culture that's going to be flexible, adaptable and future fit at any point, because you don't know what the future may bring," he says.
The biggest challenge when looking at long-term workforce requirements is around the attitude and mindset of people. "Getting the culture right and maintaining it is not an easy thing to do and people talk about culture almost glibly at times," says Tim, "but you really do need to understand what type of organisation you want and then work very hard at moving the organisation to that space and then staying there."
Andrea adds: "To enable change the senior leaders must lead by example – whether or not they are new to the organisation – and live the new attitudes, behaviours and skills that are needed. They play a fundamental role in enabling the change to happen, and helping to break down the change resistance which inevitably will be present."

In a time when psychotherapy is becoming increasingly prescribed, mapped into evidence based interventions, squeezed by regulation and the fear of hostile litigation, Psyche as Soul needs a place aside from the colonising ego.
'It' has a long history that includes Allan Watts (This is it) and Georg Groddeck (Book of the It). In our present culture getting it tends to be understood in terms of possession, whereas this talk will follow a dispossessing process. Drawing on recent work with 'Therapy as Initiation, I will explore how the paradigm of initiation can bring new eyes to the everyday nature of ongoing psychotherapy. The therapeutic process can be experienced as a ritual movement into another space.

The impact of socio–economic status on learner achievement in science education in the Mafikeng area : a comparative case study between Ramaine High School and Mmabatho High School
The purpose of this research was to shed light on the factors that explain the
differential achievement in science education between learner groups from different
socio-economic backgrounds, through a cross-analysis of two case study schools in
the Mafikeng area.
It was hoped that a broader understanding of the distinctive factors that account for
the achievement gap in science between learner groups from affluent communities
and their impoverished counterparts would help in informing the relevant policy
makers on the best systems to put in place to address this vexing phenomenon of
achievement gap. A multi-faceted instrument technique, comprising a questionnaire,
semi-structured interviews, class observations, profile of science department and
document reviews, was employed to gather data. The research paradigm that was used
to underpin this study was the "emancipatory'' type since the issue under investigation
was a social one and involved under-privileged individuals as well. The analysis of
data was guided by the principles of social constructivist theory which incorporated
both statistical, empiricist quantitative and the .qualitative analysis.
The cross- analysis of the two case study narratives compared to and contrasted factors
that underly leaner achievement in the natural sciences. The findings revealed that a wide
variety of factors, all of which are direct manifestations of one's socio-economic
standings. have a direct bearing on one 's scholastic achievement. This manifested itself in the form of, among others, the resources available at the school one attends, the quality of education (foundation stages) one received, the attitudes of educator one has, and of course, attitudes of the learner towards his/her school work. Furthermore, learner achievement was found to be consistent with the level of parental involvement in their children's education.
Since the cross-analysis of the study revealed that disparity in the allocation of
resources was one of the prime culprits in the creation and maintenance of the
achievement gap, between learner groups from the two distinct socio-economic
societies, it was recommended that some kind of parity be brought to prevail in that
regard. Also recommended was the fact that educators and learners alike, especially
from disadvantaged schools, recommit themselves to their school work. In addition,
parents of learners from poor backgrounds should get involved, more than ever
before, in their children 's school matters, in order to register some improvement in the
quality of their education.
Recommended for further study is the need to establish the factors that explain a
differential achievement between schools in the same socio-economic band and the
correlation between heredity and achievement.

News Article
PKU unveils China's first CIGS solar integrated power circuit
In the 6th Asia Solar Photovoltaic Industry Exhibition, what was claimed by the innovators to be the first Chinese CIGS solar integrated power circuit, was exhibited in Shanghai on May 5.
Technically supported by Peking University (PKU), Henan Yanyuan Photovoltaic Technology claims to have developed China's first CIGS solar integrated power circuit.
This new product proves to be a new innovation in the Chinese solar photonics industry. With the booming solar industry nowadays, people are familiar with solar collectors and solar cells. However, what they don't quite know is the combination of these two elements–the solar integrated power circuit, a new type of CIGS solar cell's application. It provides a new approach to promote volume production.
Gan Zizhao, professor of the PKU School of Physics and member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, talked about the invention during an interview. "The application of CIGS solar cell is going to be the development trend in the solar industry. It reduces pollution and costs compared with the old material, which is mainly silicon. Moreover, it's cheaper and more efficient," said Gan.
The PKU research team had independent intellectual property of this technology, added Gan. Compared with other few countries like US and Germany, they are still in an intermediate level, having a long way to reduce the gap in craftsmanship. However, there are large potential markets for this innovation in China.
Wolfgang Palz, chairman of the World Council for Renewable Energy, expressed his compliments for China's remarkable achievements in energy conservation and pollution reduction, especially efforts made in developing new energy.

It may seem silly at first, but ultimately, this is a free souvenir! You could be a casual collector or a serial stamp seeker. People are extremely passionate about the national parks passport program. Are you ready to jump on the national parks passport book bandwagon?

What is the National Parks Passport Program?
The Passport to Your National Parks® Program began in 1986 with Eastern National, one of the most popular concessionaires across the 400+ national parks. With the exception of Hohokam Pima in Arizona, each national park site offers a cancellation stamp. Some parks have a variety of stamps, usually differing at each visitor center.
How Does it Work?
One of the things I love about the national parks passport is that it's highly customizable. There is a way Eastern National intended the books to be used, but you can ultimately decide what you want your passport to look like.
Each national parks passport book is divided into color-coded regions, each featuring a few states plus one region for Washington, D.C. There is a map at the beginning of each style of the book. Some also have colored tabs on the sides of each page to help you navigate. The parks you visit should also have colored ink pads that match the designated region colors.
Depending on the book you have, there may or may not be a designated spot for each park. If there's not, you can stamp, or cancel, your book anywhere in the appropriate region.
Next, you'll also see a place for "stamps". Eastern National refers to the ink stamps as cancellations and the stickers they sell as stamps. It's up to you whether you'd like to purchase the stickers and place them in your passport book as well.
How Much Does the National Parks Passport Cost?
Technically, you could participate without spending any money! The national parks passport itself does cost money, but the stamps are free. You could easily stamp small pieces of paper, national park maps, or anything else you'd like and it wouldn't cost you a dime. As I said, this is a free souvenir!
However, if you'd like to purchase one of the official national parks passport books, there are a few options. Plus, purchasing these sends your money directly back to the national parks!
National Parks Passport: Classic Edition
This little notebook is the classic passport companion. It's equipped with 112 pages and is smaller, about the size of a postcard, so it's easy to fit inside your backpack or pocket. It also comes with a map of all 400+ national parks sites to help you plan your national park visits.
The one downside to this one is its small size. There are only 4-5 pages for each region. If you're like me and you've been to over 200 national parks, you'll likely need something larger. It does have few extra blank pages in the back if you run out of space.
National Parks Passport: Collector's Edition
The collector's edition is great for frequent national park travelers like myself. I upgraded to this one after purchasing at least three of the smaller classic passports and running out of space.
The largest difference in the collector's edition is its size. It has a designated space for each national park (though it is missing some that were established after its publication). This means the book is significantly larger at 7.5 x 10 inches. There are 192 pages, and it still has extra space in each region for larger or extra stamps.
Like the classic edition, this one also comes with a map of all 400+ national parks. There is also a checklist of all the national parks in each region. Again, its accuracy depends on when it was published.
If you'd like even more freedom to customize, there's still one more passport option for you.
National Parks Passport: Explorer Edition
The explorer edition is the ultimate national parks passport for a frequent traveler or someone who wants more creative freedom with their passport. This is the largest passport and comes in the form of a binder. You can add expansion packs, also pictured, should you run out of space. The options are essentially unlimited!
If I could go back in time, I would have purchased this passport instead of the classic edition in order to have more space (and to never run out of space!).
Tips for Your National Parks Passport
This excellent keepsake will quickly become one of your most treasured souvenirs, so it's important to keep it safe and tidy. Here are some of my best national parks passport tips:
- Bring smaller labels with you on your trips and keep them in a sealable plastic bag, then place them into your book when you get home. This way, your book doesn't get lost and you have more space to pack. It's also much lighter this way. Furthermore, if you stamp on the labels you can stamp multiple times to ensure your memories are inked perfectly.
- Many parks will have small pieces of scrap paper for you to stamp and glue into your book later. If you don't want to purchase labels, this is a good way to take advantage of the free program.
- If you miss out on getting your stamp, you can always contact the park and ask for one. Send them a letter including a self-addressed and stamped envelope and which stamps you're requesting, and they'll get them out to you as soon as they can. I'd also send the labels!
- You don't have to stamp a national parks passport – any book will do! Let your creativity shine and stamp blank journals or lined journals so you can jot down your memories. Or, use a dotted journal for more freedom to stamp, draw, and write!

KU quarterback Jason Bean announces plan to return to Kansas for 2023 season
The Kansas football program will head into the 2023 season with both of its top quarterbacks from 2022 back on the roster.
That became clear on Friday, when Jason Bean announced on social media that he was returning to Kansas rather than looking for another opportunity elsewhere.
Bean's message was simple: "Rock with me or don't," he wrote. "More work to do."
The post was accompanied by a highlight reel of some of Bean's biggest moments from the 2022 season. The video wrapped with a photo of Bean dropping back to pass and the words "I'm Back" written over the top of it.
Midway through the season, Bean was the KU starter for four games while opening-day starter Jalon Daniels recovered from a shoulder injury. During that time, the KU players and coaches spoke glowingly of Bean's team-first approach.
The relationship between Bean and Daniels was talked about often during 2022, and both QBs said repeatedly that they were as close as it gets and they appreciated how they made each other better, rooted for each other and pushed one another.
While used in certain packages and plays as a gadget-type player while Daniels was at QB, Bean always stayed ready and took over the offense without blinking when Daniels was hurt during the Jayhawks' loss to TCU.
Bean nearly led KU to a win with a stellar second half against the Horned Frogs. A few weeks later, he did lead Kansas to a win over Oklahoma State, when KU clinched a bowl berth for the first time in 14 years.
Although the Jayhawks lost to TCU, Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas Tech with Daniels out, Bean put up good numbers, throwing for better than 200 yards in every game and accounting for 17 total touchdowns.
Bean finished the 2022 season with 1,280 passing yards, a 64% completion rate and 18 total touchdowns — 14 passing and 4 rushing.
His experience, both as KU's 2021 starter and a starter at North Texas before coming to KU, gave KU's coaching staff confidence to continue to run what they wanted to run on offense with Bean under center.
Many believed that Bean, who threw the last pass of KU's season on a failed 2-point conversion in a triple-overtime loss to Arkansas at the Liberty Bowl, would enter the transfer portal and look to go to another school where he could potentially start in 2023. But the news Friday made it clear that he enjoys it at KU and wants to stay with this team and these coaches to complete his college career.
Bean's announcement came one day after KU defensive end Lonnie Phelps Jr. announced his intention to leave Kansas to declare for the NFL draft.

This Halloumi Lentil Salad is made with cooked lentils, roasted tomatoes, cucumber, and pan-fried halloumi, along with a simple zesty dressing. It's a fresh, healthy vegetarian lunch that you'll want to make all summer long!
Halloumi! It's so good, right? Especially in this halloumi lentil salad.
Having lunch already prepped and ready to go is key in order for me to make sure I'm eating healthy throughout the week. I love whipping up my chickpea chicken salad and my mediterranean tuna salad to have on hand. Similar to those recipes, this halloumi salad can easily be made ahead of time and enjoyed for days.
Plus, using lentils in a salad is an easy way to add protein and fiber to a meal (like in my favorite lentil meatballs.
What is halloumi?
If you don't know, halloumi is a type of cheese made from a combination of sheep's milk and goat milk. What makes it unique is that it has a high melting point, meaning you can easily fry it and it won't melt. Yes, FRIED CHEESE. Is there anything better? If you haven't tried it before, I promise you it will be love at first bite.
But don't let me get ahead of myself, because even though halloumi is sort of the star of this recipe, I don't want to neglect the rest of this halloumi salad.
Recipe features
- It's made with fried halloumi, aka the greatest cheese of all time
- It's a protein-packed, vegetarian meal option
- You can easily prep it ahead of time and enjoy it for lunch throughout the week
This list is to provide further clarification on some of the ingredients used; the full ingredient list is below in the recipe card.
Lentils - Preferably brown lentils or green lentils. Red lentils cook differently and therefore will result in a different texture.
Vegetables - A combination of grape tomatoes, cucumber and red onion works wonderfully to achieve the Greek and Mediterranean flavor profile.
Fresh mint - Don't skip the mint -- trust me on this one! It pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.
Halloumi - You can find halloumi cheese at most grocery stores in the cheese section.
Olive oil - This is the base of the dressing and I wouldn't suggest substitution any other type of oil.
Vinegar - I used red wine vinegar, but white wine vinegar would work well too.
Lemon juice - Provides a little acidity and zest to the dressing and helps keep it light and fresh.
Garlic - A "must" for most recipes, in my opinion. A little bit goes a long way.
Step 1: Cook the lentils. Start by adding the lentils to a medium saucepan, then add water so it covers them by one inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Drain any remaining water, then transfer the lentils to a large bowl.
Step 2: Make the dressing. While the lentils are cooking, whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper together. Then, pour ⅓ of the dressing over the cooked lentils and stir to combine.
Step 3: Prep the veggies. While the lentils are marinating in the dressing, chop the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and mint and set aside.
Step 4: Cook the halloumi. Last, heat a medium skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once warm, add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until it's golden brown.
Step 5: Assemble. Finally, add the cooked halloumi to the bowl with the lentils, along with the vegetables and toss to combine. Drizzle the remaining dressing overtop, do a quick taste test and add more salt and black pepper as needed.
Tips and FAQs
- When cooking halloumi, make sure you pat it dry to remove any excess liquid that was inside the packaging; that way, it cooks evenly and prevents any possibility of it softening while it cooks.
- On that same note, cook halloumi in a single layer.
What is the best way to cook halloumi?
Typically, I tend to cook it over the stove in a pan or skillet. But, you can also grill halloumi if you prefer in a grill pan or on the actual grill. If you're going to use a grill, be sure to brush the halloumi with a little oil beforehand to prevent it from sticking.
Is there anything else I could add to this salad?
Always! If you want to bulk this up even more, try adding sliced avocado for healthy fats or drained and rinsed canned chickpeas for added protein. You could also substitute fresh basil for the mint if you prefer.
Refrigerator: Store halloumi salad in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

MISSION BAY, Calif (KGTV) — Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of summer travel.
Campland on the Bay in Mission Bay is a popular RV destination for holiday weekends.
"Where else can you get weather like this except for San Diego," Marty Coyne said.
Marty and his wife drove nearly 140 miles from Imperial Valley to escape the heat.
"We consider Campland our second home," Marty said.
His RV runs on diesel, which currently averages at a record high of $6.62 in California.
He says he's glad Campland is relatively close.
"I don't think we're going to go too far beyond Campland," Marty said.
Daymond and Myra Allen also frequent the RV campground.
"It's just great to hang out with family and friends," Daymond said.
The couple traveled an hour and a half from Murrieta.
"It's a humbling experience when you go to fill up and see that you have a $300 gas bill, and you get maybe three-quarters of a tank," Daymond said.
But, the rise in gas prices is not stopping their summer travel plans.
The Allens said they look forward to hitting the road to spend time with family and friends.
"[We] just have to budget a little more for gas since it's about triple the cost," Daymond said.
Even if gas prices remain high, both couples said they plan to return to Campland for the Fourth of July.

I have just returned from watching New Zealand play England at cricket in the Wellington Stadium. As you reported, PJ was there using the crowd to record sound effects for TTT.
PJ received a rapturous welcome from the 25,000-30,000 crowd. He told us that we were to be the sound of Orcs going to and fighting at Helm's Deep. With 8 recording locations around the stadium he stood in the middle anddirected us like an orchestra. First we had to cheer like an army cheering its general - but in the lowest register voice we could make. Then we had to snarl, then wheeze. Next we all stamped our feet to simulate the army marching in step.
Then an Orcish chant was put up on the big replay screen. We chanted five times at different speeds and with different degrees of intensity and anger.
The last two sounds were the most amazing. He asked us all to whisper. It didn't matter what - just whisper. Believe me, 25,000 people whispering at once is an astonishing sound. Equally astonishing was all of us hummming at once, which came next.
Throughout all this PJ held a raucous sports crowd in the palm of his hands. Everyone cooperated fully, and gave him another huge cheer when he thanked us and left.
By the way, in the cricket New Zealand beat England 244 to 89.
