Business-to-business (B2B) social media is a different animal. B2B and enterprise companies aren't trying to convert millions of individual consumers into customers — they're trying to convince a smaller group of companies with bigger budgets to buy their products or services. Social media's power to spread a message across the web isn't as relevant.
That doesn't mean social media doesn't have a place in the B2B world, though. On the contrary, a lot of these companies have found social media to be extremely useful in generating leads, performing market research and establishing themselves as thought leaders.
We've already written about ways to use social media for the enterprise, but now we want to explore a different topic: how B2B companies will use social media in the future. To do that though, we need to explore the current state of social media in the enterprise.
What B2B Marketers Use Social Media For
While you might assume that B2B companies are less engaged in social media than their B2C counterparts, you'd actually be wrong. In a study of social media use conducted by Business.com last year, it was revealed that North American B2B companies are more likely to be using social media tools when compared to B2C companies.
Here are some examples from eMarketer:
- 81% of B2B companies were likely to maintain company-related profiles on social networks, compared to 67% of B2C companies.
- That gap stayed true for a wide range of social media activities; 75% of B2B companies participated in Twitter (compared to 49% for B2C), 74% hosted a blog (compared to 55% for B2C), and 66% engaged in online discussions (compared to 43% of B2C companies).
- B2C and B2B companies were just as likely to be monitoring user reviews (B2B: 49%, B2C: 51%) and manage a community dedicated to customers (B2B: 49%, B2C: 51%).
- One of the only areas where B2C was more active than B2B in social media was advertising on social networks (B2B: 42%, B2C: 54%).
- In terms of the tools B2B companies use, 77% used Facebook (compared to 83% for B2C) and 73% utilized Twitter (compared to a shockingly smaller 45% for B2C companies).
The inescapable conclusion is that the use of social media in a B2B setting is more popular than most people would expect. Businesses are mostly using it to develop thought leadership and customer service.

This is not an essay but rather a personal testimony about the experience
of doing Mathematics.
Kronecker is reported to have said about it: "God gave us the numbers,
the rest has been made by man". Thus Mathematics, according to this view,
is a pure fantasy world, constructed using, as raw material, the natural num-
bers or, after Cantor opened up the doors of a new "paradise", the more
impalpable "sets".
While debating this point of view it may be illustrative to regard the
words we use to describe the world of Mathematics and our own research.
We discover theorems, construct examples, attack and sometimes solve
problems, state conjectures, open new fields, close lines of investigation pro-
ving conjectures, design strategies and perform computations. Thus I believe
we think of our world as both existing and to be constructed, so that it is
determined in the very moment in which it is explored. In this way Mathe-
matics is a deep part of the very structure of human thought, at the individual
as well as the collective level, growing as long as human life does.
We are living a new golden age of Mathematics; the depth and richness
of today's research is unmatched in all history, though we can identify in our
past decisive moments in which this research has been determined and deeply
We are blessed by the fact that a (very small) fraction of our research
technological applications and our needs are limited. Our work being produ-
cing ideas, we need only some supply of pens and paper to help us remember
and to perform complicated computations, many books to transmit our
The new toy, the only expensive one we may need, the electronic com-
puter, is still in a state of infancy as far as our work is concerned and we are
not yet able to judge its future impact on our creations.
The mathematician has disguised himself in the past as magician, astro-
logist, theologian, engineer, astronomer etc. in order to be able to support his
I like the idea of a magician since this captures the unique amazing crea-
tivity of our work. I cannot resist to remember a little girl, daughter of a
colleague, who explained her father's profession as being that of a
magician" or even another little girl, "Alice in Wonderland", who was in fact
created by a mathematician.
The intellectual building we have by now constructed is extremely rich
and complex, not completely explored by any single scientist but living
through the many continuous exchanges of ideas and techniques between the
various schools and individuals.
Our research we term as deep or shallow, exciting, challenging, fertile
sometimes even wild, or dull, routine, sterile ; its results being beautiful, fasci-
nating, impressive, amazing, incredible or boring, obvious, standard, technical,
uninteresting (sometimes even false).
Most of it is filtered, polished, transformed and then either incorporated
in the great building or forgotten as marginal or irrelevant. Of course this is
not a unidirectional process, lost and forgotten work is sometimes brought
back into light although often it is just independently rediscovered. Clearly
thus logical coherence is only the barely necessary condition for accepting a
finished product, not even strictly needed for a stimulating project. Some and
not all of the most beautiful achievements of last century geometry have been
given a rigorous foundation only now, a hundred years later, the incredible
intuition of our forefathers being matched finally by all the necessary technical
The final rules for evaluating the quality of our research belong more to
apparently less rational categories like beauty, harmony, completeness, depth.
The gems of mathematical research are usually those theorems that, behind a
great simplicity and fundamental nature of their statement hide a profound
and complex world of structures and techniques. Especially number theory
has taught us that simple basic statements may be the hardest to prove, like for
instance the famous unsolved Goldbach's conjecture: "Every even integer can
be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers", a statement which can be
easily explained in elementary school.
The possible mathematical theories are infinite but only very few are
selected as being interesting and worth of investigation, thus the tautological
aspect of mathematics belongs mostly to its form and not to its content.
Our projects are measured in time sometimes by the centuries or millen-
nia. The problem of squaring the circle, which puzzled the Greeks, was
solved (with a negative answer) by Lindemann one hundred years ago; after
the discovery by Cardano and Scipione Del Ferro of the formulas for solving
equations of dregree 3 and 4 it took about 300 years to prove that a similar
solution for the higher degrees does not exist; the discovery of non Euclidean
geometries while clarifying the work of Euclid opened the way to an approach
to geometry which is essential for Einstein's relativity. A rich legacy of
unsolved problems mostly on the nature of prime numbers, has been left to us
in the last 400 years; we have no idea when (or if) will they be solved,
although we usually take an optimistic point of view: maybe in 200, 2000
years when our understanding of arithmetic will be different from today or
maybe even today somewhere somebody is forging the tools which will bend
and conquer these apparently impenetrable problems.
In our continuous struggle we search (often blindly) in our minds, dream
improbable solutions, make wild conjectures, play all the tricks of the art we
have learnt, try all the analogies we can think of attemping to weave the new
fabrics of our research which may consist of a patient analyzing and untan-
gling of a complex puzzle, a tough, ruthless and exhausting fight against an
unwielding computation or a master plan of vast and sometimes unpredictable
strategies. Always aiming at the prize of a proof of a Theorem, the classifica-
tion of objects, the discovery of new methods and ideas.
When some 30 years ago a new interest in the classification of finite
simple groups arose and new sporadic groups were discovered progress came
very fast until the biggest sporadic group appeared. With its
2 46 .3 20.5 9 .7 6 .11 2 .13 3 .22.214.171.124.220.127.116.11.71 elements (written into prime
factors) it appeared gigantically larger than its predecessors and it was named
"the monster" (of Fischer-Griess); after a few years the monster has been
tamed and his wonderful properties discovered, now he is "the friendly
giant ".
Where is the limit? We do not know and hope it does not exist, that the
power of our mind may grow with the growth of science and meet any new
challenge. We frantically produce hundreds of thousands of pages of research
every year, the only tool we have to hold this together is to perform a pityless
selection and to organize it into higher and deeper levels of abstraction. This
is a road full of snares and pitfalls: very abstract theories, without the master-
ful strategies of the scientists who aim far away at the solution of deep pro-
blems, are like empty shells, fascinating mermaids who have trapped many
researchers into playing with complex formal structures only to find them-
selves with empy hands. Abstraction is also not for all seasons, the quest for
very general theories, abstract constructions, unifying ideas, which was the
main trend in Mathematics for many years gave way abruptly some 15 years
ago to a new vigorous interest for algorithms, special examples, individual but
extremely complex structures. When a new level of abstraction will be
needed the trend will change again, although one should be aware that such
separations are not so neat or permanent.
The decision of whether a theory is essentially empty falls unfortunately
(or perhaps fortunately) on us, we have no physical structures to test, experi-
ments to perform, markets to challenge. So clearly schools develop which
keep a low level of mathematical thinking, contented of playing with axioms
and refusing to understand the achievements outside their field but living con-
fortably in a small area of research which slowly decays. But this experience
is certainly not unique of the mathematical world but belongs more to the life
of Academia.
Fortunately the power of truly outstanding research is overwhelming;
when a really amazing theory appears it usually sweeps away a lot of irrelevan-
There is a vast debate on how much is Mathematics self contained and
uniquely determined. The evidence is contradictory, on one hand the impact
of theoretical Physics on the developement of many mathematical theories can
hardly be ignored, but often in the final product almost every trace of this
process is erased and fields like functional analysis, representation theory, dif-
ferentiable manifolds (whose history is deeply intertwined with that of relati-
vity theory or quantum mechanics) can be presented with absolutely no refer-
ence to Physics. This is almost certainly an ominous sign but it is a fact.
I should finally mention the connection between Mathematics and sym-
bolic logic. We are aware of the debates and the attempts to formalize ma-
thematics. We are now quite contented by both the successes and the failures
of this program. We may never know whether Mathematics is consistent but
certainly it seems that it cannot be destroyed as a creative activity since, as
Gödel taught us, undecidability, incompleteness and lack of mechanical algo-
rithms for proving theorems make it a field completely open to human imagi-
Paradoxically until a new shake up of our foundations (which we do not
foresee in the immediate future), our main relationship with logic is through
the use of computers. Here comes the most immediate danger of finding our-
selves soon to confront the physical limitations of our methods.
- There are currently no refbacks.

Arequipa Peak
The department of Arequipa is synonymous with volcanoes and snow-capped peaks, clear blue skies and endless plains . The region lies on the western slopes of the Andes, and is the jumping-off point for a series of climbs of varying difficulty, which stand out for their rare combination of beautiful landscapes, easy access and their ancient cultural heritage.
The Misti volcano (5,825 meters) is the symbol of the city of Arequipa. The route up to the top is more of a hike than a climb, and takes two days up steep scree slopes.
The most popular of the ascents starts out from the city and continues up to Tambo Inca and the base camp of Nido de Aguilas. Hikers will reach the summit on the second day. Chachani (6,075 meters), the other volcano overlooking the city, can be climbed taking a spectacular trail that climbs up from Pampa de Arrieros.
The Colca Valley also features several imposing mountains which are popular amongst climbers: The Ampato (6,288 meters) and Sabancaya (5,976 meters) volcanoes and Mount Hualca Hualca (6,025 meters) are some of the highest.The Cotahuasi Valley features Mount Coropuna (6,425 meters), its most beautiful peak, giving climbers superb views of the region. The valley is reached from Lake Pallarcocha, just a two-day drive from Arequipa.

Valentine Love
Happy Friday everyone! Since it is eve of valentines, today's post is going to be focussed on all things romantic and lovely. Personally I think February is one of the best months of the year as it really does bring out the love in everyone – and who wouldn't be happy about that? Whether you're single and just want to splurge some love on yourself or your bestie, or in a relationship and take this opportunity to indulge your better half -February is definitely a lovely time of year. I've always been a big believer in Valentines day, but not for the chocolate or flowers. For me it is like Mothers Day or Fathers Day, where we can take the opportunity to spread some love. It's a great reminder to sit back, and think about how blessed we are to have love in our lives. So, that being said, heres five things that I love and that remind me to love in return…
1. Sunsets: Never fail to amaze me. Colours in the sky that just aren't meant to be there -in all shades of pink, gold and purple…
2. Fresh flowers: Another one of God's greatest gifts to us, fresh flowers in the home are by far my favourite treat to give or receive.
3. Home baked goodies: Nothing says love like a freshly baked batch of biscuits, muffins or a yummy cake. Life's meant to be sweet!
4. Encouraging words: whether they are sweet and loving or inspirational. Kind and uplifting words are the best kind!
5. Precious moments with this guy: My forever valentine

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's president said on Tuesday the planned execution of 11 convicts on death row, most on drugs charges, would not be delayed, warning foreign countries not to intervene in the country's right to use capital punishment.
"The first thing I need to say firmly is that there shouldn't be any intervention towards the death penalty because it is our sovereign right to exercise our law," President Joko Widodo told reporters.
Widodo said he took calls from the leaders of France, Brazil and the Netherlands about the death penalty. A court earlier rejected an appeal by two Australians among the 11 against the rejection of their request for presidential clemency.

Ragini wakes next morning…
'Ahh… It was not a dream..that aliens and that baby.. I don't know how many surprises I have to see further..'
She yawns and comes out. Chotu is flying around the house, while Sanskar is trying to feed food for him.
'Good morning Ragini…' Sanskar says and goes away. Ragini just smiles and comes near wardrobe.
"Hmm..this is my 1st day for college. However, I'm going to be in final year.. I don't know..how can I make new friends..??"
She takes out a dress..
"Wow..this red frock suits me best..!!!" She says looking herself into mirror placing dress on her.
Chotu just comes inside flying and takes dress from her hand. He flies away.
"Chotu..!! Give it back..!!" Says Ragini and runs behind him. She comes out of room…and while she is running she accidentally bumps into Laksh.
Both falls. Laksh is on floor and Ragini is on him. There are just inches of gap between them. Her cheeks turn red.
Suddenly she comes back shouting..
"Hey..! Don't you have any other work than staking me..??" Sh shouts.
"For your kind information it is you who have bumped into me..!!" Says Laksh expression less.
"You have come in middle intentionally..!!!" Ragini tights her hands.
"Don't feel yourself as a miss world, as boys are behind you..!!" He says going away.
"You jerk..!!" Ragini shouts.
Sanskar prepares breakfast for all. Ragini and Laksh are seriously eating.
Sanskar… "guys, any problem..?"
"Nothing..!!" Both shouts at a time. Sanskar nervously smiles and takes a gulp.
Laksh… "Sanskar, people shouldn't know that you are a alien..! Just pretend being human being and avoid flying. Even chotu also..!!"
Sanskar… "but, why shouldn't people know..??"
Laksh… "I went to meet Adarsh bhayya yesterday night. He was desperately experimenting to find aliens. If he find…"
Ragini nervously… "if he find..??"
Laksh… "he is going to dissect them..!! And he is going to make them as slaves for his show down..!!"
Sanskar and Ragini shocks .
Laksh… "so…."
Sanskar … "I understood…! I should avoid flying..!!"
Raglak nods their heads.
Chotu denies from raglak going to college. He cries that he will go along with them. But, Sanskar stops him.
Next they rushes to college. They both are in same college.
"Look..!! No one in college should know that we are staying in same house. Otherwise, it becomes a big mess..!!" He tells walking without looking at her.
"Even I'm not interested to talk about you…!!" Ragini says with attitude.
Then suddenly a girl comes in front of Laksh.
"Laksh…who is this new girl..??" She asks with a pretty smile.
Laksh nervously,,… "ka..kavya..!! She is new to college it seems. So, I was leading her to college..that's it..!!"
Laksh looks at Ragini to say yes..!! Ragini too nods her head.
Kavya comes forward and shakes hand with her..
"I'm Kavya..from degree final year..!!"
"Wow..!! Even me same class. I'm Ragini."
"Nice meeting you Ragini… let's meet back in class.." says Kavya and rushes into college.
Ragini looks on smiling.
"Ragini…!!! Try to be far from me when she is around..!!!" Warns Laksh and keeps going.
"Why I will try to be close to you..??" Ragini shouts. Then suddenly she thinks, "what did he say just now..? I have to be far from him when she is… that means he loves her..??"
Ragini makes her eyes big. "Can he have gfs too…??" She confuses.
Ragini comes into class. Boys and girls are talking together. She feels nervous. Bcz, she has studied in girl's institution always. Boys are new to her. She silently walks to last bench. She feels more nervous when all are looking her as alien.
She is about to sit in back bench… a rowdy girls batch comes and threatens her.. "this is our place..!!"
Ragini silently moves back.
"Come here…!!" She hears a girl's voice. Ragini turns and looks. A girl calls her.
"Sit beside me. This seat is empty…" she says. Ragini smiles and sits beside her.
"I'm swara. You..??"
Ragini too introduces herself.
Adarsh steps into the class.
"Hey my students..!! I'm your physics teacher again in final year…!!!"
All drop their heads in upset.
"Miss.Ragini, the new student. Plz come here..!!" He says.
Ragini amazed goes near lecturer bench.
"You all don't know about Ragini. She is the only daughter of shekar and shomi who are scientists in NASA."
Whole class amazes.
Ragini feels proud. She sees Kavya is waving hand to her.
"She is staying at present in Laksh's house…as her parents are far.." he continues.
Laksh keeps hand on his head.
Whole class amazes… "what…???"
Then Ragini looks at Laksh. "What..?? He is same class of mine..??" She thinks.
Then Ragini observes the back bench rowdy girls are talking something looking at her.
Kavya's face expressions become sad listening to it. Swara observes it.
"I don't give intro to any students..! But ur special ragini.. bcz, ur daughter of scientists, even I'm a scientist. I'm proud to be a teacher to a scientist's kid..!!"
All look at Adarsh boringly. Ragini smiles nervously.
"You can ask any doubts to Laksh regarding class or college bcz… he is the CR."
Ragini shocks… "what…?? He is class representative..!! I can't believe this..!!!"
Laksh smirks a little. Kavya observes their eye language and becomes sad.
After intro, Ragini sits in her place. Adarsh is continuing his class.
Ragini bends her head and then she looks at Laksh. He was listening to class and he was not concentrating anything else.
Swara…. "hey ragini…have you observed one thing..?"
Ragini…. "what…??"
Swara… "kavya and that rowdy batch girls were looking at you jealously after knowing that you are staying with Laksh…"
Ragini… "umm..but why. ??"
Swara… "bcz… Laksh is dream boy in college for many girls. And he in turn never cares any girl. He never look at anyone…which made him more special. He is best at sports, dance and even he is a college topper..!!!"
Swara kept on telling about Laksh…but Ragini's thoughts are somewhere…
"What..?? A boy who peeps into girl's room secretly, who bumps intentionally, who is really unkind with me, is best boy in college..?? I wonder what he is thinking now..??"
Ragini is thinking looking at him.
Suddenly Laksh's eyes turn aside and see her. Their eyes meet…!!!
Soon she turns away her eyes and he too.
Ragini holds her heart… "why my heart is pumping fast..??? Ragini…cool…inhale…exhale…"
While she is relaxing herself..she suddenly shocks looking something out from window.
Chotu is floating in sky.
Precap: Raglak's first adventure for chotu.
Dears… thanks everyone for comments…
But..why comments are decreasing..?? Aren't you liking this ff..? Plz tell me. I was really sad for less comments. I got good response at First…but it kept on decreasing…

Ever since Donald Trump announced his plan to run for president, random people have been filing for all kinds of trademarks that include the Trump name. Some are Trump supporters, while others are Trump resistors, but friend or foe, it's a land grab for intellectual property rights. As you might expect, there are some tremendous entries out there—like the term Trumpcare.
The Republicans don't have a replacement plan for Obamacare (aka the Affordable Healthcare Act) yet. But when they do, it's fair to assume people will probably start calling it Trumpcare. Curiously, an insurance company in South Carolina just trademarked that name—and now they have no clue what they plan to do with it.
Hibbits Insurance of South Carolina filed for the trademark on January 19th, the day before Donald Trump's inauguration. I tracked down the founder of the family insurance company, and he sees the filing as just a bit of fun.
"I've been in the insurance business for 45 years and everything I've got is for sale," Rob Hibbits, founder of Hibbits Insurance, told me over the phone with a laugh.
Just as Obamacare was only the unofficial name of the Affordable Care Act, it's likely that if Trumpcare sticks—and there's no guarantee it will—it will be unofficial as well, which will probably make it difficult to profit from. The Hibbits family doesn't seem to mind, however.
"We're just having some fun with it," Hibbits explained. "It's like Obamacare. We have no idea what we're going to do with it."
They're also not alone with their Trump-themed trademark squatting. There have been countless trademarks for things with the word "Trump" in them lately. Someone in California trademarked the term "Trump Power," for instance, while someone in North Carolina trademarked the term "Talking Trump Doll."
Somebody in Iowa also trademarked the term "Trump Turdz," which the application says will be used specifically for "Stress relief exercise toys" and "Novelty toy items in the nature of fake poop."
A screenshot from the US Patent and Trademark Office showing the trademark filed for Trump Turdz™, which is to be used as a novelty toy item (USPTO)
Here are some other recent trademarks that have been filed with the US Patent Office in recent months:
- Love Trumps Hate™
- WTT? What The Trump™
- The Trump Border Wall™
- The People Against Donald Trump™
- TRUMP susPENCE™
- Trump Pence 2020™
- I have been "tweeted" by Trump™
- Prayer Warriors for Trump™
- What Would Trump Do?™
- In Trump We Trust™
- Trump Baby™
- Trump Trash™
- Trump's Fault™
- Dumps For Trump™
- Trumptastic™
- Impeach Trump™
- Just Trump It™
It's actually not so unusual for presidents to have their names included in trademarks. President Obama, for example, had his fair share of random people using his name—in May 2012, someone applied for the trademark "This Country Belongs to God Not to Obama." But it's since been abandoned, and it's possible that many of the current "Trump" trademarks will be abandoned in time, too.
But for us here in the UK, be thankful that the NHS can't just be disbanded on a whim. Just sold off a little bit at a time.

Hans Urs von Balthasar's metaphysics is not quite metaphysics in the traditional sense of the word, and it is certainly not metaphysics in the modern sense of the word. That is, Balthasar does not spend a great deal of his metaphysical reflections differentiating causality, as in Aristotle, or discussing the abolition of metaphysics, as is popular since Hegel (who happens to be Balthasar's nemesis and sometimes-friend). All the while his metaphysics is thoroughly impossible to understand without traditional Thomism – even if he himself modifies Thomas – and without comprehending the terrible vistas he observes in Hegel. His response is Thomist and not, modern and not. His response is utterly unique.
When Balthasar employs the phrase forma, the Latin term that Aquinas used with great fascination, he does not use it quite as Aquinas did: he means forma both as the animating principle of a thing (as Aquinas essentially derives the term) and as Gestalt, a German phrase that can mean "outward shape," "life -form," intelligible form," and "historical figure." Balthasar means every meaning, including the traditional. Gestalt is fused with forma. This is cause for frustration and admiration.
Much has been made of Balthasar's use of the term Gestalt, as must be the case. Much has been made of the fact that the word does not quite mean forma, especially in English literature, since Gestalt is translated as "form" in English and produces sharp confusion about the term. When Balthasar employs his concept of Gestalt – a modified version of Goethe, filtered through Thomism and German Idealism, distanced from psychology – he has Christ in mind. Christ is the Gestalt of God, and indeed of the world. As the eternal Son, he is the "exegesis of the Father," the one who is the "image of the invisible God" (Col 1:15). As God Incarnate, he in his humanity reveals the full dimensions of creation (hidden even to itself), and he came "to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ" (Eph 1:9). This "bringing together" is perhaps the most comprehensive understanding of Gestalt's function in Balthasar's thought, with only one missing facet that I will discuss in a moment. As it is, Gestalt draws together all the disparate threads of meaning in the world – all the various contradictory qualities inscribed in it – and provides their inner coherence without elminating them. For Balthasar, such a coherence cannot be found "in the world," but only "from above." The coherence between distinct qualities in creation is beautiful, since beauty for Balthasar operates as the transcendental consonance between all things. It is beauty, in particular, that helps to describe unity.
As Aidan Nichols explains in this article:
In his person, life, death and resurrection, Jesus Christ is the 'form of God'. As presented in the New Testament writings, the words, actions and sufferings of Jesus form an aesthetic unity, held together by the 'style' of unconditional love. Love is always beautiful, because it expresses the self- diffusiveness of being, and so is touched by being's radiance, the pulchrum. But the unconditional, gracious, sacrificial love of Jesus Christ expresses not just the mystery of being — finite being — but the mystery of the Source of being, the transcendent communion of love which we call the Trinity. Thus through the Gestalt Christi, the love which God is shines through to the world. This is Balthasar's basic intuition.
Form (Gestalt) in this case cannot exactly mean forma, since here the focus is on a kind of woven-together unity and forma is not composite. Indeed, the matter is further complicated by Balthasar's "ontology of language," as Peter J. Casarella frames it in an essay for the book, Glory, Grace, and Culture. Casarella explains that Balthasar has worked out an "ontology of language," which incorporates the "polarityof being" into a theory of language. Now metaphysics (specifically ontology) – and Balthasar's most beloved "polarities" between contingency and fulfillment, being and becoming, act and potency – are entwined with language: for Christ is indeed the Word of God, and human beings become words of God in him, and theological words (especially the words of the sacraments) receive effective, expressive qualities in him. Casarella describes these dynamics in more detail, but it is important here to stress that relating metaphysics and language is not exactly new: Thomas did it.
Thomas Aquinas – known, loved, and hated for his metaphysics – also described the nature of language, and in such a way that it was closely allied with metaphysics. This article on his theory of predication helps to describe certain aspects of his thought on the topic. Aquinas's theory is not the same as modern language theory, and there are significant historical developments (and digressions) between the two. The Angelic Doctor has also received derision for his apparent naivete about language. Regardless, he did link metaphysics and language – whatever we may think of his link – and it is very clear that (1) metaphysics is not just a word game, and (2) words are not shell games.
Balthasar thinks – and scholars debate whether this is true – that he has managed to draw out the impliations of Thomas's metaphysics and apply them in his own theology, especially his own theology of being. He accomplishes such a task in part through the thought of Erich Przywara, and describes much of its essentials in his Epilogue to his trilogy. There is a strong phenomenological bent to Balthasar's reflections – which are always particular, personal, dynamic – though he ultimately rejects phenomenology as insufficient to the task of studying being (especially as it comes to move away from such a study). David C. Schindler at Villanova University has an excellent book on Balthasar and his complex philosophical motives, entitled Hans Urs Von Balthasar and the Dramatic Structure of Truth. His article, "Metaphysics Within the Limits of Phenomenology," describes the basic contours of his reflections, and can be read online.
Schindler helpfully points us toward the analogia entis, and it is in this way that Thomas continues to play a vital role in Balthasar's thinking, and more of a role than has been admitted in the past. In Glory of the Lord IV, Balthasar insists that Aquinas's metaphysical insights – particularly the distinction between essence and existence in contingent being, which Balthasar interprets as a real distinction (along with others) and Suarez (among others) does not – are the absolute height of metaphysics, never to be equalled again. The analogy of being is a fundamental quality of every single one of Balthasar's works, even his historical analyses of figures like Maximus the Confessor (who Balthasar rather anachronistically tends to interpret in terms of the analogia entis, which is not necessarily contra Maximus's work but also not necessarily constituitive of it).
What does the analogia entis have to do with form? In the first place, the Gestalt Christi operates vertically as well as horizontally. That is to say: it is not simply that creation receives a revelation of its own inner coherence, but that this inner coherence is illuminated through the incomparable difference between God and creation. In encountering Christ, we indeed learn who we are. We also learn that we are not God. Neither insight is extractible from the other. Nor does this mean that Christ "provides" the inner unity of creation as if it were "missing" like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle until the Incarnation: the unity is revealed, not added.
At the same time, the Incarnation fulfills the world and presses it toward its final end. In this way, Christ is the form of the world not simply in terms of Gestalt, but also with respect to forma. Here it must be stressed that forma operates in a highly modified sense, in such a way that does not violate the analogy of being. We might even say forma operates in an analagous sense when applied to Gestalt. That is how the two terms are inwardly united. Forma, then, also contributes to Balthasar's thought – even as it is modified in the face of Gestalt.
Aquinas has incredible importance in relation to Balthasar's concept of form, and this is true whether or not Balthasar saw it himself. In Divine Fruitfulness, Aidan Nichols explains that "Unlike some, but by no means all, the French Jesuits, Balthasar never lost confidence, however, in the perennial importance of St. Thomas, especially for metaphysics." This does not mean he always fully appreciated Aquinas, just as when Nichols, in Redeeming Beauty, notes the profound aesthetic qualities of Aquinas's theology, and the oddity of Balthasar's neglect of him in his own aesthetics.
What can this mean? Is it necessary, then, to draw out the more Thomist lines of thinking in Balthasar's thought, as I have argued in the past? Or are current Thomists correct in thinking that Balthasar has essentially abandoned Aquinas's synthesis? The concept of form (Gestalt and forma) is an interesting test-case. I do not yet know where it leads, though my basic intuition is that Gestalt and forma are more intrinsically related to one another than it appears at first blush.
Nor do I think, much as I desire to argue that Balthasar can be interpreted in such a way that is more ammenable to Thomism, that this makes his metaphysics any less strange. It remains a deeply mystical-philsophical endeavor for him, one intrinsically united to the saints, who are the guardians of metaphysical wonder. Mark A. McIntosh has argued in Christology Within that "with the aid of mystical theology, he [Balthasar] has been able to shift the central categories for envisioning the reality of Christ from ontological to obediential terms." While I do not wholly disagree – and indeed admit McIntosh is by far the greater expert – I am disquieted by the "from" and "to" in the sentence: as if it were possible to move from metaphysics to something else? Is it not easier, and perhaps even more accurate, to conceive of Balthasar's theology as an "outworking" or "dependent extrapolation" of metaphysics in mystical theological terms?
Aidan Nichols has an interesting assessment of theology at the end of his article called "Thomism and the Nouvelle Theologie." He notes that Thomism does not need to "absorb" every theological system like a grand Marxist theory, and indeed a pluralism of theologies (for which the nouvelle theologie argued) is not bad. Nevertheless, "to be" is most foundational, and classic ontological theology must "enjoy a primacy" among theologies. I know this makes Balthasar's theology fundamentally secondary. And yet I agree.

Although not yet detected here, thousand cankers disease (TCD) is a potentially fatal disease of black walnut, caused by the walnut twig beetle (Pityophthorus juglandis) and an associated fungus (Geosmithia morbida). TCD could easily spread to Missouri from the several eastern and western states where TCD is already present. You can help minimize the chances of spreading TCD by following these steps:
- Don't move firewood
- Don't transport walnut for woodworking (including buying walnut wood over the Internet)
- Promptly report dead or dying walnut trees

Four Poems by Richard Greenfield
Evasive maneuvering to not be hit by falling leaves, by the descending graces of death.
The beloved blooms in the guise of the familial or deadly in the hole of the heart— she kills.
Now the singular self is puny in the bed without her. Hush— I fill the space with the whir of a fan, running at the low setting.
From the burned library to the filling-in of the fragments— the blank of blank was a favorite: love infested the of.
If we wring the sky of its water, the spousal land saturates… he a woman she a man— they pinnacle they nightflame in the demiurge of sex.
Improbable stars blink time or destiny above the high lake, the pollens believe
in nothing
the drifty disdain of her hair.
Welled in the apricot tree, the bees' nest cools off in the red-tint of the heartwood.
The rotten ladder is wedged there—
blotchy fruit tempt over heads.
The sparrows are so high
they duck beneath the corona.
The accepted language is the backyard thunderhead roils and reaffirms her over him.
The accepted language is the river glinting in the middle section of the baroque
and how it ends, unoriginal in the red or yellow symmetrical slide from the grassy divider of the street, central in the skillet of the split up.
The room shifts blue, the coded sex-channel seizes in the box, two are speaking in a contrived dialogue of coincidence.
The circumvolve above the pole,
cannibalism in the pre-colonial:
the unexpected leap of the remote.
I no longer ride through the halcyon memory to your house because the chestnuts are blocking the streetlight and the dogs keep barking at my passing from behind fenced side yards. And I miss your mouthful.
Love, What else; How much; What kind of.
Here speak the casualties,
here the butterfly bandage,
here the nuptial—
the switch:
it is
it is not.
Her body below me wore the tan of summer and it seemed unbalanced to have held it so long.
The entrails were hanging high and the pole would not reach. The trains boomed in the rail yard.
The vowel was.
There are still the burning colors to contend with: the season-kill of a bright, immeasurable elegance, yet swept into lightweight piles.
Years later the magnitude of that memory rifted me, a cloudy monomial between the sea and the sea.
Such realized, such held-together selves. I thought the certitude of the self was contrived,
but the making of my self was not distinct from the knowing of my self.
Cornered in the pretty evening, trauma dissolved into the dew count and opened the sun.
The sun was flaring a woman's shadow upon the rock whose terrain had been terror, whose anonymity was traced.
We cried for the subtle phrasing of that hand— for the capacity of its discourse: it had the means of the tradition, the packaged dialogue, the breath end,
the pain—not our own—made—our own.
Coal crumbled on stone.
I expected more from the model.
I expected resistance rather than the posing of the body.
Nightly, the coiled sting of the orbit hung and begged to be interpreted.
Daylight poured into the four corners— not seized, not barefooted.
The child's songful ear between the parent and the locked door catastrophically unfolded
but attenuated in time, reduced to gestures.
Of the frosted tulips, most thorned.
The hand followed the outline, the hand subdued the umbra to where the god left off.
A drainage of time flows to the south and to the west. I gave away my good-bye— I walked into the resonance of the voice in that moment, the moment had streamed into me, a geography recognized at once: the designated forest had boundaries, though carved through the clear-cut, a road not used. I watched the windowbird at the honeyfeeder eating loss, eating love-me. My pulse within the everyday subway-car versus the fly-by platforms full of anonymity. Blue flashed at times as tunnel light. The doors opened and closed shut on the bastard value of zero. Home, on schedule. The portrait on the personal page loaded incomplete, the baud too slow. Emergent eyes formed, no mouth, in my room, late, tired, the edges of the plates rubbing each other, a turn in the clock, a woman, a man I could know, a woman, a man I would never. These trees are replanted precisely apart. These trees are hidden behind the cursor, until. Write: I would try to make a life here. Life tried to make me here.
Naming had nothing to do with the copper sheen on the river's upturned belly, the roseate rooms others' calamity made for me, the gross exaggerations:
I wanted them to weep.
My voice has been lonely to me & a tonnage of personal evacuations.
In the flame tree's system, near my window in fatal reach, a nest of speckled eggs. What I did I was cruel.
After the bloodless art, after the desecration, the stylus is aching in its thumb-finger hold.
Though opposite even one imagined scream, the rendering of the massacre is roped off, squared by the skylight, and hung in the afternoon hymnal.

Month by month, this collection offers up NZ On Screen's most viewed clips for 2016. Alongside legendary adverts, the clips collection features talents lost to us over the year, from Ray Columbus to Martin Crowe and Bowie (via Flight of the Conchords). In this backgrounder, NZ On Screen Content Director Kathryn Quirk guides us through the list.
This 2003 documentary examines what drove two of New Zealand's most internationally successful golfers. Future 2005 US Open champion Michael Campbell and Phillip Tataurangi look back on their careers to date, and the part played by their Māori ancestry. Their natural talents are set against the hard work, supportive whānau and determination required to succeed on golf's biggest stages: fro both being part of the Kiwi team that won the Eisenhower Trophy in 1992 to success as professionals on PGA and European Tours. Campbell retired in 2015.
In this unexpurgated (and until-now unscreened) interview, Keith Quinn talks to TP 'Terry' McLean, who Quinn has called "the best rugby writer we have ever produced". The late author and NZ Herald sports editor reminisces widely, though All Blacks are often on the menu: the "God-like figure" of George Nepia (who McLean wrote a book with), "audacious, thoughtful, cunning, chess player" Bob Scott, and Colin Meads, who McLean is candid in his opinion of. Quinn quizzes McLean on his beginnings, favourite sporting memories, and all-time favourite All Black Captain.
Then reigning US Open champion Michael Campbell is the subject of this episode from the series profiling notable New Zealanders. The 'slice of life' follows the golfer on a trip home to compete in the 2006 New Zealand Open, and to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House (a charity helping kids suffering from cancer). On the way to Gulf Harbour, a low key Campbell reflects on his journey from Titahi Bay to beating Tiger Woods: discussing fame, being a role model for younger golfers, and — on a photo shoot draped in a kākahu (feather cloak) — being Māori. Campbell would retire in 2015.
Pictorial Parade was a long-running series produced by the National Film Unit. This brace from 1966 tees off with 'Championship Golf,' where a jaunty commentary narrates the final game (at Auckland's Middlemore golf course) of a touring four-match series, played between US champ Arnold Palmer and left-handed local hero and 1963 British Open winner, Bob Charles (30 years-old here). The next clip, 'Sounds of Progress,' is an instructional film from the Department of Health, drawing attention to the dangers of industrial noise, with advice on how to avoid it.
In the final episode of the season, larrikin presenters Bill and Ben pretend to offend rugby league stars Monty Betham and Awen Guttenbeil (with a nod to American Beauty). The show's closing references the controversial finale of The Sopranos (complete with mocking soundtrack), and there are cameos from Karl Urban and Temuera Morrison. Ben revels in extended torture of Bill, while Auckland Blues coach Pat Lam concentrates on golfing. Elsewhere a shop dummy does some begging, and a unique interpretation of cross-training enrages a passing screen producer.
This interview with Prime Minister John Key is taken from the January 2014 debut episode of Paul Henry's late night TV3 show. Displaying the informal style that marked his tenure, Key banters with Henry about playing golf in Hawaii with US President Barack Obama, and responds to the hard questions, eg whether it would have been better in hindsight for John's son Max to have not beaten the President. It's election year and the pair discuss coalition options: the Māori Party, Peter Dunne and Winston Peters. Henry pulls out four photos, and asks which of them can be trusted.
In this award-winning tourism promo, an easy-going narrator guides us through a land of contrasts — "where else would you find golf and geysers?". The sights range from frozen to boiling lakes, characterful cities to odd natives (kiwi, takahē, carnivorous snails). Visual highlights include quirky road-signs ("beware of wind", "slow workmen ahead"), toheroa digging and a flotilla of capsizing optimists. Directed by NFU veteran Ron Bowie, the film won an award at the 1963 Venice Film Festival, before headlining a special Amazing New Zealand season of shorts in NZ cinemas.
This five-minute excerpt from Asia Downunder's final, 2011 season joins promising golfer Lydia Ko at the driving range. Here the South Korean-born Ko is a 14 year-old student at Pinehurst School. Her coach Guy Wilson, who trained her since she was six, discusses seeking sponsorship, and Ko talks about the challenges of keeping up study while training 40 hours a week. The dilemma was soon to become moot: the world's top-ranked amateur turned pro on 23 October 2013. Roughly two years later, she became the youngest woman to win a major on the LPGA tour.
Craig Scott quickly rose to fame as a New Zealand pop sensation, before retiring in the mid 70s to the great disappointment of his fans. In this 1998 Breakfast interview he spends time before the cameras on his favourite golf course, describing life before and after stardom. Then working in video for Warner Brothers, he discusses the perks of being a star, and life after fame. The interview features excerpts of his number one hit "Star Crossed Lovers". Reporter Lucy Hockings moved the following year to the UK, where she became a producer and presenter on BBC World News.


text: It's all too easy to gain a few pounds without really noticing… and then gain a few more. But when you finally cross the line from being merely overweight to being obese, that's when it's time to really start paying closer attention. Adults with a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or higher are considered obese. The tendency toward obesity may be the result of genetics, metabolism, lifestyle factors, or a combination of all three factors. But regardless of the cause, obese adults are at risk for a number of serious health conditions. Obesity is linked to hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol, among others. Hypertension You may also know this condition as high blood pressure. And you're much more likely to develop high blood pressure if you're obese, although not everyone who is obese will. When the heart has to work harder to pump blood through your arteries to deliver oxygen to all the cells in your body, it causes additional strain on those artery walls. When your blood pressure rises and stays higher than normal, it can cause damage over time. Cardiovascular Disease Unfortunately for your heart, obesity is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease. In fact, there's a link between obesity and coronary artery disease and an increased risk for stroke. According to Stanford Health, hardening of the arteries is 10 times more common in obese people than in non-obese people. Also known as atherosclerosis, this condition occurs when plaque builds up, hardening and narrowing the arteries, making it more difficult for the arteries to carry oxygen-rich blood through the body. And when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, it reduces the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. Diabetes If you're obese, you're far more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than someone who's not. Fat cells secrete substances that increase inflammation, which can reduce your body's ability to respond to insulin effectively. That, in turn, affects how your body processes fats and carbohydrates, which can raise your blood sugar levels. And that leads to diabetes, along with all of its possible complications. High Cholesterol As your weight goes up, so do your triglycerides and your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), often better known as the "bad" cholesterol. High levels of LDL and triglycerides can contribute to atherosclerosis. Additionally, obesity tends to lower your "good" cholesterol, the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that can lower your risk of developing heart disease. Osteoarthritis Those extra pounds put a lot of strain on your weight-bearing joints, including your hips and knees and even your lower back. According to the Arthritis Foundation, 1 pound of excess weight translates into an extra 4 pounds of pressure on your joints. The pressure can eventually cause the cartilage in the joints to break down, causing even more damage, discomfort and pain. Additionally, research suggests that obesity may also worsen the effects of rheumatoid arthritis in people who have it. Other Health Consequences But wait, there's more. The list of possible obesity-related health conditions continues with these additional disorders or problems: Depression and other mental health disorders Some types of cancer including esophageal, colon, rectal, pancreatic, and sometimes postmenopausal breast cancer Gallbladder disease Sleep disorders including sleep apnea Some people claim the solution to obesity is easy. "Just lose weight," they say. It's not really that simple for many obese people. Shedding enough weight to reduce your BMI below the obesity threshold may require a combination of strategies—and a large amount of patience and tenacity. If you aren't obese, you can do your body a world of good by taking steps to maintain a healthy weight and BMI. However, even if you're already obese, you can still work to reduce your risk for all these obesity-related diseases. Start by taking a good hard look at your diet and activity level—and take the first steps to improve both. Your doctor may advise you to begin with diet modifications and increased physical activity, but other options on the table could also include prescription weight loss drugs and weight loss surgery.
