Catch up with Orissa creator David Dodini and listen to the new album Resurrection, out now.
What would you say first got you interested in music?
Gosh, it's been a while. I guess, it was probably a little bit of wonderment. I remember my brother said, "I want to have guitar lessons," and so we got this guitar and it was half this sense of awe and wonderment at this thing that made sounds and a little bit of forbidden fruit because it was like, "oh, we got that for your brother and you can't play it," and I would find a way to sneak around and taste the apple a little bit [laughs]. Those were the two sparks. And then, once you start making music with an instrument you just can't stop.
What made you decide to start Orissa?
Instead of the David Dodini project? It's really for artistic reasons in the sense that I never really ended up doing everything by myself because I wanted to do everything by myself. In an ideal world, I will find some other collaborators who want to be part of the project and who have a compatible and complementary vision and temperament and everything that works with what I want to do with this project. It's not about me and promoting myself as a guitar player and a writer, so one of the reasons that I presented it as an art project and forgetting about who's doing it is just to focus on the music and artwork and poetry itself. The name is a part of several layers of metaphors that are a part of what this thing represents to me and what it might represent in the future as I grow as a person and if I find somebody else to collaborate with on it. I want to focus on the art, I don't want to focus on me. I feel like when you encounter some project where it's the person's name and it's about them, I listen to it differently or approach it differently than when I encounter something presented as a band. Even if a visual artist does a show, the show will have a theme, so you're there to see a theme and by focusing on that instead of the name of the person, you're already going into a different place. You are surrendering your connection with another ego and another human identity and instead going straight to the source of it, which is the human heart. So, I just want to focus on the art.
Which musicians have you been influenced by?
My influences are pretty nonstandard for a typical project. One of my biggest influences was my teacher at the conservatory. Aside from the technical aspects of what he taught me, it was really about that creative aspect and being a creative person with music, everything from the language and the approach to creating music, so Dušan, my teacher at the conservatory, was a major, major influence on me; in a lot of the stuff and the language that I use and also just my approach as a writer. I'm kind of experimenting a little bit with phrase structures, harmonic structures, contrapuntal textures and stuff like that that you wouldn't really find in so-called progressive metal, I'm playing with that and condensing these two worlds that live close to each other so there's some experimentation there and I definitely get that from him. And then, I listen to a lot of Carnatic folk music, music from Eastern Europe, all kinds of stuff like that, so that has imprints all over my language. I've been inspired by a lot of the more traditional bands from the '90s, too. I was way into how, in the '90s, music went away from that show-off-iness and back into song: when that whole grunge thing popped and it was like, "hey it's about the song now, again," and the influence on the poetry and the message in those early, mid '90s bands. Tool was an interesting band and none of these bands influenced me really, because I don't sound like them, but they inspire me.
In a weird way, my other sources of inspiration are just other forms of art altogether, like visual art. I'm really into a lot of what's going on in the visionary art community so that inspires vibrations that turn into music [laughs]. Those are a few of my influences. A lot of world music, folk music - but not the stylized pop version of it, straight from the source - and that's where some of peculiarities towards melody and mode come from.
How would you describe your sound to someone who had never heard your music?
I don't think I could succeed at that [laughs]. I feel like it would be much better to just say, "hey, you know what, just go give it a listen and figure out for yourself what it sounds like". Or, don't even worry about what it sounds like, just get lost. I can't say. Probably because, on the one hand, I know it's easier to say that Orissa is a progressive metal project, but it also does not fit into any of these categories that exist underneath that broad umbrella. For me, there are some bands where it's just, 'the band'. Like Karnivool, to me, there's no style that they play, they're just Karnivool and I really respect that about them and, hopefully, if I'm succeeding, that's true of what I'm doing, as well. I'm just writing the music that I hear as opposed to being like, "hey, I really like this thing, so I'm going to go and do this". When you're recruiting band members or other people are recruiting band members, you start to hear the difference. There are people who are like, "I want to form a band that sounds like these bands and that band and this band," and they probably end up sounding like that, and then there's people that go, "I just want to write music and we'll see what happens," and I'm probably in that camp.
I'm just going to write the music that these emotions push out of me and so it's less about style and influences. It's like me trying to figure out what it sounds like is like a road map without any 'X' at the end of it, just draw your own map for yourself. It's probably more fun anyways, because I'm probably wrong [laughs]. I could probably say what it is and someone else could have a completely different opinion. Yeah, I would say give it a listen and see.
Could you tell us more about your album Resurrection and how it compares to Omens?
Yeah. First of all, Resurrection is a full-length album whereas Omens was an EP. [On Omens] I was just going to record a demo and then it came out better than a demo and I was like, "this sounds like my first release so I'll put this out as an EP", so that leads to another difference: besides that one is an LP and one is an EP so the amount of music is different, what I did for Omens was, I had songs that I had already that I thought belonged on different records but, since I was making a demo, I thought, "okay, I'll do these songs and maybe reproduce them in the future," and so Omens has a flow and there's definitely underlying themes and stuff that flow together, but it wasn't really created as an album. Resurrection is a consistent, cohesive thing from end to end. And then, production quality is much higher on Resurrection.
My music is always pretty vibe-y and pretty visceral, in terms of the emotional, and the cathartic theme is always there because of the author, [laughs] for better or for worse. But for Resurrection I took the potential of the ambience and built on it with many, many layers so there's much more lush, harmonic language; it's super large scale. I call Resurrection a sonic novel because there's a dialect inherent in the music, there's multiple layers of story where I started out and had these ideas - or emotions that were sparked by ideas - both verbal and nonverbal. So those are my songs, and I think that's probably how you would write a book, like go, "oh, okay, I'll have this character and that character," and then, as you start writing it and fleshing out the details, all these other subtexts make themselves known to you and then, even when you're done, you're like, "oh my god, look at this connection that I didn't even make consciously!" So, because of that, there's a lot of depth on Resurrection that isn't there on Omens because I spent more time on Resurrection and I conceived it as a whole. It's just much more lush language, much more large scale movement. All the same characteristics of large scale form and drama and catharsis and with a wide range of tension, but even bigger, bolder, and more lush.
You've got extra players for your live shows, so how would you say your recorded sound is different from your live sound?
The recording is about capturing the perfect representation of the songs but keeping enough spontaneity in the performances so that there's magic in there and I'm really proud of the work that I did with that. There's both, there's great execution, but with an edge to it, because i just turn it on and it's like, just take it and play it like it's live. And then, for the live shows it's different, because now there's musicians in a room interacting and playing off each other and the ebb and the flow and the energy, so you might articulate something different and, emotionally, that changes or enhances the arc of the song in terms of the way the sections flow together more, just because you have 4 different human beings spontaneously grooving out to this music. Right now, we play the backing track from a laptop and what I'd really like to do is move away from that because I'd really like us to improvise a little bit more. Like, take a section and, if we're feeling like extending it or shortening it or creating a new section, I'd like to bring some improvisation into the live performance, because the music wants it. There's some sections where it's like, "hey, we should play this riff longer just because we love it," but, by the time we're way into it, the song has already moved on. In the future when we can figure out either to jettison backing tracks or have other people come in and perform them, I'm really looking forward to getting even more improvisatory with the songs. That's something that's on the horizon that I'm definitely shooting for.
Would you say you have a favorite track to play live?
Yeah, our by far favorite song to play is "Blue Communion". We love them all, they're all awesome, but "Blue Communion" has a very special magic and the audience reaction to it is interesting because it's a fifteen-and-a-half minute song, but people suspend their sense of time for some reason and it's like being in a temple and everyone's just sort of in a trance and we're all on the same page and it's really cool. There's something magic about that one.
Whatever song we're playing is my favorite at the time, but when you look back it stands out. I just shot two music videos, one for "Blue Communion" and one for "Verse V" and for "Blue Communion" there's so much story in the music - it's sort of a left brain rational sub-story and then a right brain emotional, visceral story - that I'm exploring bringing more visual art into what I do; and so, for "Blue Communion" - I don't want to give away too much, but there's performers that I used for this music video and we did several takes with them and there was one take where they did their routine in front of the band - they're two dancers - and you could just feel - [laughs] it sounds really corny - but you could feel an energy connection and a soul connection with them the whole time. It was crazy. And they turned around afterwards and I looked at them and I was like, "did you guys feel that, too?" and they were like, "yeah, that was amazing, that's never happened to me," and they're performers who have toured all over the world doing what they do, so that was super cool to find that in the song. You're playing songs and the song you're playing at the time is your favorite every time, but then you look back and it's like, "oh, there's always a magical moment in this one," where you connect with the audience and another performer and it happens more in this song than in others. The video is going to be pretty cool.
How would you describe Resurrection in one sentence?
Resurrection is an imperial erotic psychedelic sensual sonic novel.
[Laughs] I accidentally was prepared for that question. In the full album stream video I was like, "oh it's like a novel," and it's a little bit of invented words, but I think all of those words kind of capture its source. The imperial erotic is kind of like soulful, explore the spirit and Eros and passion in relationships and those connections because they're not disconnected; sometimes in religion, they're presented as either the material world or the spiritual world, but they're all connected. And then the psychedelic sensual is sort of like, there's a psychedelic aspect to it that, again, ties back to the sensual realm. Psychedelia and sensual experience are related to each other, too. In the end, I think the record, because it is about so much but so little, that it's about relationships and it's about how our relationships with others are really about our relationships with ourselves. I'm exploring my relationship with myself as a complete being and then relationships with others and with these other aspects of our humanity, so there's another sentence: it's about relationships.
What do you hope listeners are able to take away from your music?
i just hope it captures their attention and that they connect with it and that it speaks to them and they're able to appreciate the depth of what it is and get drawn in and go deep with it, because there's a lot there. I was thinking about this the other day because I'm getting ready to start writing another record and it's like, we live in this time where so many people are putting out music and it feels like there's a temptation to always put out music and my process can be pretty labored and tortured. I remember once, after I graduated from the conservatory, I just wanted to be around Dušan and I wanted to keep learning from him so I did private lessons with him and we had been studying all these classical masterpieces and one time we were going through Schubert's Quartet and Schubert is this crazy amazing harmonic genius, he's at a whole other level, and I was like, what is it that makes the guys who we think of as 'masters' compared to the lesser composers who most people don't know their name, what's the difference between them and why is their music so much more interesting? Dušan was like, "you know, I think it's because they heard the formulaic response and then they heard the other response, the response that came from somewhere else". Music is like that, it can be like a jigsaw puzzle where you put together the right response after you say something, and that really stuck with me. That influenced my process because I want to go deeper because there's something else on the other side and sometimes I'll go searching and be like, no, that's perfect, but sometimes it's like, "ah, I'm glad I didn't just settle for that answer and I went looking for something else to say".
I hope people get that, that there's that kind of care in there. You have to ask yourself as a musician or someone who is making art, what do I want to do? Should I do something that's less dense and is more hooky and catchy and write a bunch more of those things, or should I keep going down this path? I'm just going to keep being who I am and who I am is probably the person who is not going to be releasing 5,000 songs just to keep my name in front of the public, but I'm just going to go deep and do the ones that i feel are the ones that are meaningful, really, really meaningful. I'm sticking to those guns, even if it means it's harder for me to find an audience. But I also think it's very respectful of the audience that I do find because it's like, "yeah, go in there and dig around," and so I hope that they do that and find and take a lot from it. That it's something they can just keep listening to over and over again once they get used to it and make a lot of discoveries.
Is there anything you want to add?
If anybody has any questions, I'm happy to take follow-ups and just thank you very much!

Tag Archives: Matilda of Flanders
Book Review: Matilda: Queen of the Conqueror By Tracy Borman
Behind every great man, so the saying goes, is a great woman – or, in the case of the man known to posterity as William the Conqueror, a diminutive one. William's wife Matilda of Flanders stood little more than four feet tall, but she loomed large, all the same, in the creation of his newly royal dynasty.
The first of her attributes that appealed to the young William, duke of Normandy, was her impeccably blue blood.

Wandering Maltesers
Louise is making rapid strides in her recovery, and was desperate to get out of the house today, so I did a bit of research (read: aimless surfing) and came across Viewpark Gardens. Ideal as it didn't seem too big, and is only 15 mins in the car. Now before I go further I should explain that Viewpark itself isn't the greatest area in Lanarkshire. Think far too many council estates and run-down pubs and you'll get the picture (there's someplace like this near you!), so we headed off, after a quick lunch, with a degree of uncertainty. But what a surprise awaited us. Lovely gardens in a variety of themes, well maintained and ideal inspiration for us as we …Continue reading

When Loneliness Leads to Connection/
Last week I wrote about how I had been in a slump, feeling lonely and isolated. I shared the post with my list and on social media.
Immediately the love and support started pouring in. Messages were received from loved ones reaching out to check in, worried about me. Friends and fellow entrepreneurs called, texted and emailed to connect, giving uplifting advice and empathetic virtual hugs.
I was so touched and comforted by the support from everyone. Thank you all.
The message that unfolded from those of you out there doing your heart centered hustling was loud and clear:
You are not alone, I feel it too.
So many entrepreneurs that I talked to said that they had been feeling the same way. People that I look up to and see as "having it all" said that tears had been shed recently over the isolation and overwhelm.
I couldn't help but think that we are not meant to be in this alone. It takes a community to grow a business.
We need each other to celebrate our wins and share our frustrations. To ask for questions and get feedback. I felt so fortunate to have you in my circle to call on when I needed support. And you came to help lift me back up.
I'm back in the saddle and ready for the rodeo.
If you find yourself down, reach out. I know, that is some seriously generic advice and by no means easy in real life. But honestly, talk to someone. Shoot me an email. Call a friend. It will do a world of good.
I've decided to offer a co-working day at my house, a time for us to connect and support each other. I'm starting it off next week. If you're in Portland and interested, shoot me an email.
Also, I hope you join our Facebook community, The Power Pack. Just a bunch of amazing Entrepreneurs supporting each other :)

Happy, successful people consistently have one thing in common. They are grateful. They actively search for silver linings and their glasses are always half full. Getting in the habit of being grateful is easily one of the most important practices you can teach your children. Did you know that just searching for something to be grateful for in a bad situation can help you feel better? It really can! Try it next time things aren't going so well.
Every year in November, families across the US sit down for a large meal of turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie. This one special night a year families are giving thanks. Our family has a tradition of each person describing what they are thankful for as we are preparing to eat our meal. We have figured out, though, that once a year is not enough!
Much like goal setting on New Year 's Eve, annual gratitude acknowledgement does not really create lasting results. Instead, in our house we have created ways to incorporate being grateful into our daily routine. We believe that it is super important for our kids to see the good in every situation. Your child has a much better day when he is happy about his homeschooling experience—instead of focusing on everything he is unhappy with.
It's easy to add a daily dose of gratitude and optimism into your child's life. Here are a few ideas that I've used over the years —
· Have a grateful moment at each meal
· When things are on the edge between being good or bad, ask: "What is great about this?" and let them answer with at least 3 ideas.
· Have each member of the family be the "star of the day" and have each family member tell or write down things they are grateful for about that person.
· Get everyone to give out 3 compliments a day and report on them at the dinner table. That will quickly shift the kids from seeing what they don't like to what they do!
· Start gratitude journals for each person in the family and add it into your curriculum. We have a free journal download for you HERE.
One great way to take this deeper and make it more meaningful is to focus on 5 things you are grateful for about one person, event, etc. instead of finding 5 different things to be grateful for. I have seen kids brought to tears by the 4th or 5th concept because it urges them to dig deeper. Give it a try!
Gratitude is the special sauce in life. Creating ways to make this an easy for your kids in their everyday life is setting them for a life that is happy and successful.

I know - its been a while since I was here. Its only because I was bummed out about my fitness quest going haywire. I get into a funk and I eat....and I eat all the chocolate I can get my hands on. (Bad Margie) Since the last post, I have been to a neurologist and she says that although I do have the meralgia in my hip, this new pain is a new thing. She thinks I have pinched a nerve in the L3 or L4 section of the spine. I know - ouch. I am still benched from exercise until we can get this fixed. I need to get an MRI to see exactly what it is - it may not be what she thinks, but she is pretty sure. Anyway, I am still determined to get the weight off and so I am going to really cut back on what I eat. Since I can't exercise I have to really cut back. I have decided to go back to Herbalife. I did this about ten years ago and lost 35 pounds and kept it off until I was given depo provera and then I slowly gained it all back plus a few straggler pounds that just had to deposit themselves on my ass, boobs and choice other places. I am choosing Herbalife again since it worked so well for me before and because its really easy and full of good supplements (vitamins, minerals and herbs) and yummy, good for you, smoothies.
I am hoping that when I get the weight off, the pain will go with it. Without surgery, because I won't let that happen, and without all the drugs. I am on some now because I have to but hope to stop when the weightloss eases the pressure on my hip and back.
So here we go again. A new Year, a new Resolution and a new challenge at The Sisterhood....check out the new button and link to a great site. I am weighing in at an all time high - 175 (boohoo) - and I will post my losses because they will be alot and often (yay).

Kindadukish's Blog - I am not a number, I am a free man (The Prisoner)
The Origins of Moonraking
Early in the 19th Century, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal was built through the middle of Slaithwaite. For a while, lots of canal boats plied their trade, and it was not long before some slightly dishonest citizens of the village started a profitable smuggling trade.
One day, Fred and his friends were off loading their barrels of booze when an excise man appeared over the lock at the far end of the stretch, so they quickly dumped the booze in the reeds.
Later that evening under a fitful sky with a strong wind and lots of clouds, they returned to retrieve their goods.
Just as they were raking out the barrels, two excise men saw them and asked "Nah then – wots tha dooin?" in the broad Yorkshire talk of the next village up the canal.
Our Fred was a quick witted man, and saw…

ABC regulations prohibit walking between tasting sites with any wine or beer in your glass. Thank you for either pouring out or consuming wine or beer at each tasting site before strolling on to the next site!

Town To Impose New Social Media Policy For Staff
It seems as if John Skorobohacz, Midland's CAO is set to further control the information flow from town staffers when they interact with local media and social media groups such as OurMidland.ca. This policy's rebirth follows previous attempts by the town to control what information gets leaked, especially where the information is not flattering about how the Town manages or mismanages finances, personnel and other issues. Watch the video clip (courtesy of Rogers) above to hear the news for yourself.
This revelation at council's April 9th meeting comes only two weeks before the CAO and town's solicitor threaten to sue OurMidland.ca for daring to question the fact that several highly-paid town administrators, like the CAO himself who draws $180,000 yearly, are missing from the $100,000+ "sunshine list" and getting special perks. The less Midland is allowed to know about what goes on at town hall, the better? Especially with an election this October. This follows more attempts to control the dialogue and keep critique at bay by the CAO having comments deleted from the Town of Midland Facebook page earlier this year.
Our sources in the Town of Midland continue to contribute to this website on the condition that they remain anonymous, and this renewed attempt to control their constitutionally-protected rights is exactly why they will be protected here.
How do you..we….know if the information your sources supply is accurate, do you back check, get a second confirmation etc, just asking

Dextromethorphan is one of the common cough suppressants used in many drug composition. It is in tablets and syrups as an antitussive drug. Composition often has preservatives like parabens. Dextromethorphan is a hydrophobic, basic drug which is used as a bromide salt in drug compositions. Dextromethorphan and two parabens (methyl paraben and propyl paraben) were separated on Primesep C reversed-phase cation-exchange column. Several impurities were observed and are well separated from the main components of the drug composition. Method can be used for various formulations in QC and production environment.

At a Memorial Day party this weekend I was loving Robin's red and white ribbon. She wrapped it around her waist over a plain navy T and white a-line linen skirt. A floppy navy hat topped off the look. It was simple, patriotic and chic. The ribbon itself was medium width, sort of floppy and not overly perfect, which made the look even more charming.
I've also seen a plain black silk ribbon used to make a necklace out of a silver charm bracelet. Or try light pink or light blue ribbon with a gold bracelet, shown here.
Another girlfriend, Melissa, sported a red ribbon watchband this weekend. Apparently the watch came with interchangeable ribbons. She mentioned she got it at Gracious Living Design Studio, Pelham, NY. I thought it would be a fun idea to make your own band, perhaps using a vintage watch. Stick with more sophisticated colors, for me, no poka dots or green and pink stripes, bit too "Babs," if you know what I mean.
Always on the look out for creative and unexpected ways to enjoy girly things, like ribbons...

Shaping the Future: inspiring children and youth to be healthy learners
by Kathy Cassels
This week our colleagues in Alberta at Ever Active Schools held their 5th annual Shaping the Future Conference. Like our Healthy Schools Leadership Conference, now in its 8th year, (save the date it will be held Monday May 5th), the conference brings together a wise mix of people considering how best to inspire children and youth to be healthy learners.
The pre-conference session hosted by Alberta's Healthy School Community Wellness Fund was organized by the stages of the healthy schools process. In the "create a shared vision" stage, Bill Gordon took the time to remind us why we specifically were participants at the conference. He suggested it wasn't because of our depth of knowledge in health but rather because someone acknowledged us as a role model when they saw our passion, love for the work and the laughter and respectful relationships we nurture and maintain. In "determining the priority issues" Gail Diachuk; Alberta's Healthy Schools Coordinator brought home the message, it's not only changes to learning processes but so too a cultural shift in the systems we work in in order to achieve our goal of healthy learners.
Examining assumptions and shifting thinking was a key focus throughout the keynotes and concurrent sessions. Young Riley Christensen's keynote started us off when he shared his own artistic impressions of his autistic brain. His brains ups, downs and swirling around that we don't see but so often judge and continued when Brenda Herchmer highlighted Five Major Shifts in leadership as we move from Traditional to Community leaders. They included:
Traditional → Community
Hierarchy → Network
Fixed → Dynamic
Predictable → Emerging
Reform → Transform
Linear → Holistic
Brenda also challenged us to step away from the 50 plus years of buying ourselves out of responsibility and to step into taking ownership for our health, well-being and how we can each make a difference. In her work with organizations and individuals she sees an emerging sense that people very much want to make a difference and are looking for ways they can contribute. She told us today's leaders do not look for followers, they create other leaders.
An inspiring session led by Kate Storey from Healthy Schools, Healthy Futures was about their next steps for their work being focused on reflective practice. She told us it's one thing for schools to have an action plan but, how is it going? Their research questions included:
- What progress have schools made on their school action plans?
- What have they learned while implementing their action plan? and,
- What new insights and learnings have been incorporated into the next version of their action plan?
As the conference came to a close, a presentation by Dr. Phil McRae asked us to consider "How we will create our preferred future?" Especially as technology rapidly shifts and blurs the online – offline reality that we live in today, when the ringer on the smart phone is turned off but is always connected to the internet. He shared information from Media Smarts' recently released report – Life Online: Canadian students are more connected, more mobile and more social than ever. The report found more children than ever at earlier ages are connected with fewer parental guidelines and/or oversight. He offered 4 key areas for a child's healthy brain and overall development:
- positive human interactions
- actively connecting to the physical environment
- Free play, and
- opportunities for creative problem solving
As I packed myself up to come home, I took another look at the beautiful natural environment that we had been learning in with plenty of time to connect with others and nurture our own health and wellness in outside spaces for walking, running, ice skating, cross country skiing to name a few, I was struck how the conference addressed so apply coined by Phil McRae "a preferred future". Yes there is much to do, many journeys to travel but connecting it all a strong moral purpose, the healthy development of our children, families and communities.
Meet DASH's newest team member: Alicia
This September, I was faced with a dilemma that haunts so many recent post-secondary school graduates; what now? Where do I go from here? How do I make an impact? Will I even get to do what I want to do?
Having a degree in nutritional sciences, health has always been on my mind. Through internships and summer jobs, I've learned that it is not just about healthy eating, but also about a healthy lifestyle. In all of these past experiences, I have worked closely with children, but found that, although fulfilling, a fully hands-on approach with children all the time was not exactly what I was looking for. So I found myself asking, how could I impact the lives of children and create better futures for them, but in a more behind the scenes way?
So that's how I ended up at DASH, which provides me with the perfect balance. It's working for to promote healthy schools at a higher level, but still being able to fully see the impact you make. For example, iWalk has been in the works for the past couple of months and now that it's here, we are able to go visit the schools and participate in the festivities! Being able to see your plans in action always brings an overwhelming amount of joy and fulfillment and schools tend to give me a happy and nostalgic feeling that I cannot seem get anywhere else.
The past few weeks have been wonderful. I really didn't know what to expect when stepping into this role as Project Assistant. My favourite aspect so far is being able to have a part in all the amazing projects and programs happening around the office, such as iWalk and the After School Sport and Arts Initiative. The ever changing projects keeps me on my toes, I don't think I will ever be bored! The culture at DASH is also great, everyone seems to work hard and work passionately, but still find time for the small things like taking a meeting outside on a nice day or reading everyone's horoscope on a Friday. DASH is definitely unique and I'm very glad that my first out-of-university experience begins here. I've found my place and now the only question is; where will DASH take me?
Meet Rebecca, DASH's new Community Engagement Liaison!
It's June and in 16 communities around BC, elementary schools are wrapping up their after school programming as part of the After School Sport and Arts Initiative. The initiative, funded by the BC Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, provides free programming for kids who haven't had the chance to participate in after school activities in the past. As DASH's new Community Engagement Liaison for this Initiative, I have had the privilege over the past few weeks of learning about all of the amazing activities kids have taken part in this year in communities all over BC, from New Hazelton to Grand Forks to Victoria. Programs have included soccer, mural painting, snowshoeing, gymnastics, Bollywood dance, Aikido, basket weaving, wheelchair basketball, and more. The activities follow the interest of the kids and represent the variety in geography and culture of the communities involved.
I was also lucky to attend the Surrey Jumpstart Academy's end-of-year celebration, where students from 25 elementary schools came together for a fun event. Gathered at the field at North Surrey Secondary School, the kids rotated through activity stations with relay races, soccer, karate, and creation of a mixed-media mural.
I am thrilled to join this initiative and support programming going forward into the 2013-2014 school year. My job will involve: supporting communities in the planning and implementation of their programs, facilitating partnerships with community-based and provincial sport clubs and organizations, and exploring the outcomes of the program. Beyond the benefits of increased physical activity, physical literacy, and creative expression for the kids, there are other impacts we are seeing as part of this initiative. Kids are excited about the program, gaining confidence in their abilities, and feeling more connected to their schools.
My internship with DASH!
by Alex Inman
Like many university students experience, I was having a lot of questions about my future career path and studies during my last semester at UBC. Fortunately, I enrolled in a Career Development Course run through the Faculty of Land & Food Systems at UBC. As part of this course, I completed a 3-month, 180 hour voluntary internship with DASH BC.
While undergoing my internship at DASH BC, I was able to gain the skills and experience necessary for entry level positions in the health, education and non-profit fields for after graduation. This experience has been invaluable in improving my interpersonal professional, communication skills and team skills in order to accomplish tasks on a deadline.
As part of my internship, I was a part of the DASH team that put together the 2013 Afterschool Sport & Art Initiative (ASSI) Community Forum on February 28th– March 1st at the Delta Vancouver Airport Hotel. My role was coordinating logistics of getting all Forum participants from around the province to be able to attend the Forum, supporting the execution of Forum workshops and discussions as well as facilitating timely reimbursements to participants for any costs incurred. Hearing about all of the great programming that is happening around the provinces, including in some very remote communities, to encourage children to engage in afterschool programming for sport and art was very inspiring. This was an opportunity to see tangible, grassroots work that will help to improve the health and lives of the schoolchildren of our province.
Supplemental to my work with the 2013 ASSI Forum, I supported Ryan Mackey in updating and maintaining both the Healthy Schools BC web portal and the monthly newsletter. Working on writing articles and editing the newsletter submissions helped to improve my written communication skills as I grew to understand the target audience for the newsletter. I have become comfortable working in an HTML-based environment maintaining and updating the Healthy Schools BC web portal with news/updates, new programs and helping users of the portal to troubleshoot their registration and editing their own programs. This experience was invaluable in learning all of the different programs and initiatives that are out there to support healthy schools in BC!
All in all, it is hard to sum up my experience interning at DASH BC. I really enjoyed my time working with everyone on the DASH team and meeting lots of new people working to help make BC schools a healthier place to learn. I have learned so much in so little time that will help me to be successful in the future.
Coming together to create a healthy future for our children
On Monday, May 6, 2013 we hosted our 7th Annual Healthy Schools Leadership Symposium at the SFU Harbour Centre in downtown Vancouver – and what an amazing day it was! Over 115 stakeholders from around the province who are all committed to creating healthier schools and healthier learners attended the event.
The day kicked off with an incredibly passionate and moving address from the Vancouver City Manager, Dr. Penny Ballem, who spoke about the importance of leadership and honesty when working together to create healthy schools. Her message was loud and clear: at the end of the day we all have the same end goal in mind – to create a healthy future for our children – and that we all have to put aside our personal, professional, and political differences in order to work together for the sake of all BC's children. The Symposium was also a great opportunity to showcase of some of the amazing work that has been taking place across the province in the area of healthy schools (for example the Healthy Schools Network, the After School Sports Initiative, and the G.O. Days program). Just before lunch, BC's first ever Healthy Living Youth Council shared some of their incredible work through an engaging and interactive poster session – such inspiring students!
After a fantastic lunch (which included a walk to the Olympic Cauldron), we all refocused to listen to Paige Fisher and Guy Le Masurier speak to how we can use different types of data (e.g., numbers and stories) to assess and provide evidence to the incredible work we are all doing. The theme of the day was "working together to create healthy schools," and the content and the structure of the day allowed participants to do just this. The participants learned together, shared their stories and experiences, and connected on how they can best work together moving forward. All in all the day was a huge success, and none of it could have been accomplished without the passion and commitment of all the attendees!
Why healthy schools? What does it mean to be a healthy school?
All students deserve to have the opportunity to be physically, mentally, and socially healthy and to learn in an environment that enables them to reach their full potential. The school setting is the ideal place to start and to make that connection. Healthy students are better learners.
Two weeks ago, People for Education, an independent organization working to support public education in Ontario's schools, released a report that discussed the importance of healthy schools and the province's plan for building healthy schools. In the days that followed the release of this report, the topic of healthy schools was featured on several newsfeeds.
What is a healthy school though? When most people hear the term "healthy school", the first things that usually come to mind are healthy eating and physical activity programs. That's fair, as in the past there has been a big push on getting healthier foods into school cafeterias and vending machines, and ensuring that all students participate in a certain amount of physical activity each day. That's usually the healthy school news that we hear.
But there is so much more happening! Just as BC's Minister of Education said in his message addressing the province's Education Plan, "It's an exciting time for change, and that change is putting students at the center of their own education. We need to create new learning environments for students to allow them to discover, embrace and to fulfill their passions. Before us, lies a tremendous opportunity. By working together, we can take what is a good education system and make it great!"
Things are changing, and it is becoming apparent that a healthy school is no longer only about healthy eating and physical activity; creating a healthy school is about working together, going beyond the classroom and school walls, and involving the broader school community. A healthy school is organized so that students are supported to be physically, mentally and socially healthy to enable them to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to achieve life-long success.
There is a new movement occurring, the healthy schools movement, and DASH and our partners (including the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and other key stakeholders in the school community) are leading the way in BC. The healthy schools movement supports the BC Education Plan.
Please follow our new blog for discussion on the importance of healthy schools, and to learn practical ways that you can make a difference – today, tomorrow, and in the futures of students in BC – by starting small and becoming a part of the movement.

We're lucky enough to live in an age where starting an online business is something literally anybody can do.
Shopify is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms around for making business happen online, so it's no surprise that plenty of other tools use integration with it as a selling point. Specifically with email marketing tools, there are so many options available, and all of them sound so similar. It can be a minefield, even if you have experience in marketing!
Here, we'll take a look at some of the top names in email marketing solutions for integrating with Shopify.
Table of Contents
Drip only started in 2013, but I'm surprised the name was available. In case you're not au fait with the email marketing buzzwords yet, a drip email campaign is essentially a sequence of emails that have been set to be delivered upon certain action undertaken by a prospective customer. Their first couple of years were so impressive, in 2016, they were bought by Leadpages, one of the top landing page creation tools.
Probably the most distinctive aspect of Drip compared to others on this list, is its pricing structure. It still has a tiered system, but only two tiers: free and premium. In saying that, the price of the premium tier varies depending on how many contacts you have, which I guess makes it similar to ConvertKit. The prices look like this based on email list size:
|101 – 2,500 contacts
|$41 per month
|2,501 – 5,000 contacts
|$83 per month
|5,001 – 12,500 contacts
|$124 per month
Selling on Shopify? Man, it took me a LONG time time actually find an email service that fully integrated with Shopify the way I wanted. Now that Mailchimp has split with Shopify, it's even MORE clear. Go with Drip all the way!
In terms of the actual functionality difference between the free and premium tiers, well, firstly, the free version will only let you contact 100 people. That probably makes it OK for doing some initial testing internally, but it's unlikely that it's practical for a busy business. The only other difference I can make out is that the free version will include Drip's branding.
Drip puts social media integration front and center of their selling points, because that's ever so sexy. That's cool – you're reading this article because you're looking for a solution that integrates with Shopify, so integrating it with your social selling with Drip means you'll be keeping the main digital marketing channels together.
Like Campaign Monitor, Drip offers the time zone delivery feature that I love.
Check Out the Drip + Shopify Integration Here
GetResponse have been around since 1998. They're not the most prominent email marketing solution, so that implies they've just been quietly working away, building the business.
GetResponse are rocking four tiers of pricing. The lowest option is $15 per month for up to 1,000 subscribers. I think that's a very reasonable price. Of course, for that price, it doesn't let you do very much, but it'll certainly get you introduced to how to "do" email marketing.
Things certainly kick up a notch on the next tier up, which introduces one of the most curious features we'll see throughout all the products here, and that's a webinar function. I find it a very strange thing to include, but I see the benefit for certain niche organizations.
For example, if you're selling a specific product and need to provide a demonstration, or if you're offering some kind of a service and you want to offer some training. This second tier will allow you to deliver webinars for up to 100 people, a number that increases with the more expensive tiers.
Apart from that, GetResponse offers pretty much the usual slew of features: segmentation, automation, tracking. I always feel as if GetResponse wishes it was a CRM system, as if it was designed like a CRM, and then stripped of most of the functionality to focus on email marketing campaigns. And that's perfectly cool.
In terms of usability, GetResponse is super-easy to use. It's the kind of program where it's difficult to actually make a mistake. The layout is clear, and it'll double-check decisions you make.
You can check out the actual Shopify + GetResponse integration page here for more info.
A negative point for myself in particular, is that the analytics GetResponse provides simply aren't that deep. I'm a nosey marketer, and I like to know as much as possible about my audience. That's how I know what content to create for them.

ConvertKit only started in 2015, so it's still quite a baby as these things go. Don't underestimate this startup just because it's young – as an email marketing tool, they absolutely have it together, and know what they're doing.
So how does a fledgling email marketing company distinguish itself from so many competitors? Well, ConvertKit are very focused on a particular market for their product, and that's professional bloggers. It's a good idea. The top bloggers aren't making money from advertising revenue alone, and may well need to sell stuff to make a living. An email platform focused on helping them with that is sure to appeal.
In terms of pricing, an important distinction of ConvertKit compared to other services on our listicle is that they offer the exact same features across all four of their tiers – that includes Shopify integration. The only thing that makes the price go up is the number of subscribers you want to contact. I have a feeling that might bother some people, but clearly not enough people to stop them running a great product.
The minor exception to that pricing system is the top tier, and it's not so much as an additional feature, but more of a service. If you have more than 7,500 subscribers on your list, they'll offer you a migration concierge service to help you move from your existing email marketing platform to ConvertKit. I think that's a nice touch.
While ConvertKit doesn't have any ongoing free service, you can try it free for 14 days.
As it's aimed at bloggers, whose passion is to write, ConvertKit have cleverly kept their service as free from technical stuff as they could, meaning you'll be hard pressed to find something easier to use, down to the point of it having a WordPress plugin to manage the integration.

SendInBlue is a relative newcomer, but there is lots to like when it comes to Shopify integrations
There are many things to like. The automation workflow is modern and features all of the triggers and logic found in most other modern email service providers. BUT, the best feature is the Shopify plugin and an extensive integration guide.
You can get started for FREE here (up to 300 emails per day) and the basic paid LITE plan starts at $25/month for up to 40,000 emails per month. I really actually like this "volume based" approach to email marketing versus paying for subscribers (many of whom become dormant).
SendInBlue also features robust SMS plans for a great 1-2 punch if you need it.
SendInBlue is quickly becoming one of our favorite new email tools!
The way ActiveCampaign do things is actually very similar to Campaign Monitor. ActiveCampaign's userbase grew by 250% in the past year, so they're certainly a company on the rise!
Also like Campaign Monitor, ActiveCampaign have four tiers, where the lowest price is $9 per month. The key difference is that ActiveCampaign caps the number of subscribers at this price point at 500. But, at the same time, you can send those 500 people and unlimited number of emails.
Outside of that, the pricing is determined on the tier you select, relative to the number of subscribers. As you move up to the tiers, I find the price jumps to be fairly substantial, to the point where I'm not 100% convinced of the value of those jumps.
You need to be at least on the second tier if you want ActiveCampaign's branding off your emails, and a wider range of customization.
In terms of usability, ActiveCampaign is perfectly fine, but I'm not sure it's the ideal tool for somebody who's completely new to digital marketing. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it does feel like you would need some existing knowledge. It gives the impression that it really is aimed at professionals, and they don't have time for babysitting.
If you go as far as ActiveCampaign's top tier, it starts to feel more like a marketing agency, rather than a SaaS. It's common practice for email marketing companies to increase the personal interaction with the user, but this feels like another level. They include: design services, an account rep, phone support, and an uptime SLA.
That top tier also includes a thing called "social data," which from what I can make out means they'll tell you the demographic information that you can get for free from Google Analytics.
I feel like ActiveCampaign is more of a sales tool than a marketing one.

UPDATE: I no longer recommend Mailchimp for Shopify because of THIS major breakup announced in March 2019!! Instead, DRIP has really stepped up their game here to fill the void.
As with all entries on this listicle, MailChimp works with a tiered pricing system, where they offer an increasing amount of features for every extra amount of money you give them. Unlike all the others though, MailChimp's lowest tier is entirely free. That in itself is one of the main reasons why it's such a popular platform.
I'm forever preaching that you get what you pay for, in anything at all that you part with money for, so does that mean that an email platform that doesn't cost anything will be terrible? The answer is no, and for something that's free, it's more than enough to get somebody started in the world of email marketing.
Of course a free thing has limitations. With MailChimp, that limitation is that you can only contact up to 2,000 subscribers, with a maximum of 12,000 emails per month. That's fine if you have less than 2,000 email addresses on your list. In terms of functionality, it'll be skin and bones. You'll have some templates to create your email, it'll still carry MailChimp's branding, and the analytics will be minimal.
Moving up to the next tier, and for as little as $25 per month, you'll be able to remove MailChimp's branding from you marketing emails, start some automation, and what we need here: integrate it with Shopify. You'll also be able to integrate it with Google Analytics to keep your data analysis sharp.
The top tier of MailChimp is something I'd only recommend if you have a dedicated email marketing, or at least general marketing person. It costs $199 on top of whatever you pay for your second tier. It predominantly gives you even deeper data stuff, but it's to the depth that will only be of value if you have somebody onboard who can interpret it into business actions.
Like GetResponse, Campaign Monitor are a well-established company, who seem to have been quietly and solidly working on a customer base. Campaign Monitor's clients include Disney, Coca-Cola and BuzzFeed – those are brands who won't risk substandard email marketing!
Campaign Monitor have a four-tier pricing system, with incremental features. None of the tiers have any limited on the number of subscribers you can have with them, but their initial tier has a limited of 2,500 emails per month to you to send. If you want to email your subscribers once per week, that means you couldn't have more than 625 subscribers.
That doesn't sound like much, but if you're at the ground floor of a business venture, it only costs $9 per month. Obviously you won't get anything too fancy for $9 per month, and this really is bare bones email marketing, but, it does have more of a professional feel than other entry-level products.
All tiers include some level of automation, and these increase as you go up. At the second tier, you'll get access to inbox previews, which is a nice feature. One of my favorite things that I like to see in email marketing though is time zone delivery. It's actually somewhat of a rarity.
What it means is that your subscribers will receive the email at the same time, regardless of time zone. For example, if you set an email to be delivered at 8pm, it'll be delivered at 8pm in New York or 8pm in Dublin: it depends where the subscriber is.
Campaign Monitor is incredibly simple and intuitive to use, but if you find yourself struggling, they have plenty of support available, at increasing level as you go through the tiers, starting with basic email support at the first tier, right up to one-on-one support at the top tier.
Mad Mimi is an email platform that Shopify themselves tout for using with their system. It's owned by GoDaddy, and I can't work out if their mentions by Shopify are from an overlapping business interest somewhere.
Like Drip, it has a free version where you can send to up to 100 subscribers. And, like Drip and ConvertKit, it has a set number of features across the rest of its pricing options, where the price increase is relative only to the number of subscribers. These start at $10 per month for up to 500 subscribers.
The weird thing I found when investigating Mad Mimi, is that it seems so focused on selling itself based on price, the amount of additional features to standard emailing gets hidden away.
And it comes with an astounding number of additional features! It feels like it's taken some of the main features of the other products on this list and just made them casually available for all their price points.
The main ones are:
Those are just the tip of the iceberg.
I find the interface similar to MailChimp, in that it's cartoonish. I'm not sure I like that. I think it's fine to start with, but feels condescending after a while. Starting email marketing with the Mad Mimi email marketing platform is OK, but if you were to start integrating all the features, it would get time-consuming, and you would need somebody who's very clear about what they're doing.
Selling on Shopify? Man, it took me a LONG time time actually find an email service that fully integrated with Shopify the way I wanted. Now that Mailchimp has split with Shopify, it's even MORE clear. Go with Drip all the way!

I have interviewed Steve Jobs and Gandhi from beyond the grave
FROM Farrah Fawcett to Gandhi, medium Susan Lander claims to have a heavenly hotline to the rich and famous
Susan Lander worked for 20 years as a high?ranking lawyer representing labour unions in Washington DC. These days she no longer speaks out on behalf of those being discriminated against in the workplace.
Instead she claims to be the mouthpiece for a host of dead celebrities and public figures, including Walt Disney, Farrah Fawcett and Gandhi, who she says are using her to communicate life lessons from beyond the grave.
"On the other side they're still well known and charismatic, just as they were on Earth," says Susan, 51, who lives in New York.
Susan's life changed after she fell ill as a result of toxic mould poisoning in 2002.
"I was struggling to work so in 2003 I decided to book a holiday at a spiritual retreat in Mexico," she says. "I had never believed in spiritual healing but I was curious."
Susan says something astonishing happened during the first group meditation session.
"I suddenly saw my spirit guides. There was a female named Leah who has been guiding me through this lifetime. Then there was an animal guide in the form of a crow and a group of master guides who work with people like me to help channel messages of universal significance.
"I was very surprised. I had always been sceptical but the first thing they said was that they had been waiting for me. I was 40 and spiritual awakenings tend to happen a lot around that age."
For the remainder of the week-long course Susan set about honing skills of which she was previously unaware.
"I found I could access all sorts of information and talk to my guides. I started to just be aware of things psychically.
"I could hear words and see images that were answers to so many questions. For example, one day I knew instinctively that a family friend had died in a car crash before I was told."
I know there was a higher plan for me to bridge the human and spirit worlds and when the time came I grasped the opportunity
In 2007 she gave up law and began to teach others how to develop their psychic skills but in May 2011 her health hit an all time low and she was rushed to hospital with respiratory failure due to complications from pneumonia.
She says: "I was in a coma for a week and my guides offered me the choice of passing on to the spirit world or carrying on my work on Earth."
Susan chose life and, according to doctors, made a miraculous recovery from an illness which they thought she wouldn't survive.
She continued to recuperate and practise her psychic skills but her life changed completely that September when she says Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, appeared to her in her kitchen.
"I didn't see him like I see someone living," Susan recalls.
"Instead spirits projected an image into my brain. I saw him a couple of times before I realised I was supposed to ask him questions.
"We started talking and he said these amazing things so I grabbed some paper and started writing and 45 minutes later I had the first interview for my book."
Other interviews followed, with Susan speaking to one celebrity roughly every two weeks for two years.
"My guides gave me the first five names. They were not people I would have chosen and I didn't know much about many of them.
"When I knew whom the first five were it was a case of trying to connect with them. Then other names would pop into my head or I'd see signs or hear a song on the radio or people would tell me the same names over and over so I kept lists of whom I was expecting."
Susan believes that the messages relayed in her book are the result of a contract forged between herself and people's spirits when they were in between lives on Earth.
"I know there was a higher plan for me to bridge the human and spirit worlds and when the time came I grasped the opportunity."
She does, however, admit that her newfound work as a medium is a far cry from her career in law.
"When I was a labour lawyer no one questioned me. I was respected and when I made the switch to becoming a medium I was concerned about what people's reactions would be but I've actually been pleasantly surprised.
"Even if people don't believe me they are polite but it doesn't matter to me whether they believe or not. Some don't agree with the concept of an afterlife but even atheists hope there's something out there."
What about the families of the celebrities with whom she has conversed?
"I hope they're OK with the book. They haven't been in contact yet," she adds. "I took my guidance from the spirit world and really respected all the people I connected with so I hope no one is offended."
Here Susan reveals highlights of the conversations she has chronicled over the past two years
Gandhi appeared to me looking as he did in his lifetime: wire-framed glasses, saffron robes and a beatific smile. His energy was positive and upbeat.
He told me he wanted to share a message of peace, love and non-violence. He explained that war was nothing more than "mass bullying" and that it can never bring about social change.
Instead the world must focus on solving problems through diplomacy rather than force.
Steve Jobs
What always pops into my mind about Steve is his insistence that we should never accept limitations. That was his main point.
He also talked about how he failed more times than he succeeded. He said his work is definitely not done here and he is interested in coming back.
His spirit was strong and I was awestruck by him. He has a commitment to achievement and excellence and an unparalleled drive to succeed.
Farrah Fawcett
Farrah is incredibly beautiful inside and out. She talked about her love for her long-term partner Ryan O'Neal and says that she misses him every day.
She says her reason for being on Earth was to help get the message out that we must help people who are in need. Her raison d'être was to be a public figure and to educate people to help others and she did that. She's proud of her achievements.
Eva Peron
She didn't wait in line politely like my other interviewees, she butted in and appeared one day and followed me around town so I couldn't ignore her.
She talked about herself and her history. She didn't have as big a message as some of the others but she talked about what drove her to achieve and become the public figure she was.
She talked about Juan Peron and said that she loved him.

Thanks for reading. Coming soon with more such products.

The concept of Rational Unified Process (RUP) got here from the Rational Software Corporation, a division of IBM (International Business Machines Corporation). It keeps a check on effective project management and excessive-high quality manufacturing of software program. The basic methodology adopted in RUP is based on a complete net-enabled program growth and object-oriented 'Rational Unified Course of' adopts the 'Unified Modeling Language' and supplies the most effective practiced tips, templates, and illustrations of all elements for program improvement. M&A Valuation: In addition to identifying the fitting targets, our staff of monetary specialists can provide assistance on ascertaining the right value for the deal primarily based on modeling strategies that embrace transaction evaluation, soccer discipline analysis; discounted cash circulation analysis and intention at finding the synergistic worth which may be generated because of merger or acquisition course of.
The above three strategies is probably not suitable. There are occasions when a service provider is caught and the one strategy to get funds in hand shortly to fulfill fast necessities is to go the service provider cash advance route. Any merchant in operation for two or three years with a credit card sale of $10,000 can access funds up to $200,000 simply by furnishing proof of identity, proof of possession of business, proof of residence and bank assertion. No collateral is asked for and repayment is tied to card gross sales as a percentage. The downside is that the issue price or APR is high but then when one will get MCA from a suitable lender the terms are affordable.
For example you call a hundred prospects and get ten appointments. Out of these ten appointments, three individuals change into purchasers. You make 5 hundred dollars from each consumer, so you make $1,500 for each hundred calls you make. It by no means ceases to amaze me how many financial advisors don't assume of these things! This means that each single time you pick up the cellphone, you are making $15!
Capital is frozen in the form of equipment and the margin for working funds turns into too narrow to help day-to-day operations. with out finanicial assertion enterprise cannot run in any stage becuse if companies will not be maintaining their books of accounts then they'll cannot know how a lot they earning or lossing and what amount they have cash balances , how much amount of its liablities and assets and how much ending balance of capital at finish of interval of financial 12 months.
If finding out overseas in 12 months 3, your prices will fluctuate by nation. In Yr 4 you'll undertake a dissertation and, relying on the sector of examine you choose, there may be prices associated with enterprise surveys and conducting interviews. Many trainee advisers start as tied advisers, gaining fundamental training in a variety of monetary products. Employers often present this in-house via a combination of formal tuition and on-the-job coaching. Trainees will regularly start to work with purchasers under supervision and, gaining expertise and skills, will purchase their very own guide of shoppers.

Genesis 15, Matthew 14, Nehemiah 4, Acts 14
Genesis 15:2
Adoni is a new name for God used by Abram in this verse. In the title Lord GOD, Lord is Adoni. You will notice GOD is in all capital letters. This is the Hebrew word YHWH first used in Genesis 2:4 as LORD. Many Bibles translate this title as Sovereign LORD.
Check God's Names as Revealed in Genesis for a more detailed explanation of Adoni.
Genesis 15:16
I wonder what is the level of sin God determines deserves destruction? It is obvious throughout history nations come and nations go. Is it because they "fill up the measure of their sins"? (1 Thessalonians 2:16) I fear that my country is very near this place if we have not already reached it.
Sovereign LORD, You alone know. As I see how rampant sin is in the culture and how godless we as a nation have become, I fear your just judgment on the United States of America. Father, we deserve Your justice, but I would pray for Your mercy. Please, Lord, send a revival upon Your people in this nation. May the Holy Spirit stir in the believers in this country, so Your Name may be glorified as You are worthy, and may many people come to know You as Lord and Savior.
Matthew 14:15-36
I can't imagine what it must have been like for the 12 disciples to spend time with Jesus; to see Him feed 5,000 men with such a small amount of food, to walk on water, and have the power to calm the storm. Even with the evidence of the change in the disciples after Pentecost, it sometimes seems it would have been better to have been with Him then, than as a follower now. Jesus, however, tells us in John 16:7 "...it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you". I fear Jesus says to me like He did Peter (Matthew 14:31) "you of little faith, why do you doubt?".
Question of Interest: Does doubt cause little faith or reveal little faith? Or is an opportunity to examine the foundation of faith?
Holy Spirit, it seems I see things in the physical realm so clearly. Please give me eyes to see the spiritual realm with clarity.
Acts 14:11-20
How amazing! The people of Lystra want to offer sacrifices to the apostles because they think they are gods. Then a few strangers show up and begin to speak badly about them, so the people join in stoning Paul and leaving him for dead. My experience is similar, not that I have ever been worshiped as a god or stoned, but I find people capable one day to think highly of me as they praise what I am doing, then it seems almost the next day I am stoned with their words and then left as if dead. Acts 14:22 convicts me with the reminder that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
Father, may I be like Paul and Barnabas and continue to strengthen the believers even in those places where I have suffered much.
