Jesus Christ-George W. Bush missing link found?
According to Hollywood "observers," claimed a Philadelphia Inquirer report published shortly before the November 2004 U.S. presidential election (update: link no longer available), if U.S. President George W. Bush was going to keep his job at the White House, Mel Gibson's controversial Jesus Christ movie The Passion of the Christ, a sleeper hit ardently embraced by Evangelical Christians, would be a likely nominee for the Best Picture Academy Award. But if Democrat candidate John Kerry were to win, then Michael Moore's equally controversial documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, which lambastes Bush and the Iraq War, would likely be shortlisted.
As if it had to be one or the other.
And as if the election of a U.S. president would in any way affect the voting of the few thousand Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences members who select the five best-advertised films of the year.
And really, what is the proportion of right-wing Republicans and/or Fundamentalist Christians among Academy voters?
Mystical links between elected U.S. presidents & Best Picture Oscar nominations
Perhaps those Hollywood "observers" believe there's some kind of mystical link connecting John Kerry to Michael Moore, and/or – and this is freakish – connecting W. to Jesus.
But then again, they may have a point.
Franklin Roosevelt gets reelected for the third time in 1944? Wilson gets a Best Picture nomination in early 1945. Richard Nixon gets elected in 1972? The Godfather gets a Best Picture nomination in early 1973. Ronald Reagan gets elected in 1980? The Elephant Man gets a Best Picture nomination in early 1981. Bill Clinton gets elected in 1992? Scent of a Woman gets a Best Picture nomination in early 1993.
But in all fairness, with George W. Bush having won the U.S. presidential election, wouldn't it be much more logical for the disastrous puppet parody Team America: World Police to get a Best Picture nod?
Golden Globes: Jesus in, Bush out
In other Jesus Christ-George W. Bush news, Mel Gibson's Jesus biopic The Passion of the Christ can be considered for the Golden Globes in all categories, except Best Picture – whether drama or comedy/musical – which are reserved for English-language films.
Featuring Jim Caviezel and Monica Bellucci, the dialogue in The Passion of the Christ is spoken in Aramaic and Latin.
As for Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, it will be totally bypassed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association because it is a nonfiction film. The genre is not "recognized" by the group.

IFC Films acquires U.S. rights to 'Turtles Can Fly'
In other late 2004 film news, IFC Films has acquired U.S. rights in all media to Bahman Ghobadi's Iranian-Iraqi co-production Turtles Can Fly, winner of the Golden Shell at the 2004 San Sebastian Film Festival and reportedly one of the hottest-selling titles at this year's American Film Market. Additionally, Turtles Can Fly has been submitted as the Iranian entry for the 2005 Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award.
Set in Iraq's Kurdistan at the time of the U.S.-led invasion of that country, Turtles Can Fly revolves around the lives of three children, one of whom is an expert at setting up satellite dishes.
The movie features Soran Ebrahim, Hiresh Feysal Rahman, Avaz Latif, Saddam Hossein Feysal, and other nonprofessional Kurdish "actors."
The Kurdish-Iranian Ghobadi had previously directed two feature films: A Time for Drunken Horses (2000) and Marooned in Iraq (2002).
New Line Cinema, for its part, has acquired the film rights to Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera. Oscar-winning screenwriter Ronald Harwood (The Pianist) has been tapped to adapt the classic novel for the screen.

Annette Bening: Best Actress Oscar favorite?
All bets are on! Well, maybe only a few. In any case, according to the website readabet.com, Annette Bening – at 5/4 – is the odds-on favorite for the 2005 Best Actress Academy Award for her performance as an actressy actress in István Szabo's Being Julia.
At 13/10, Imelda Staunton comes in second. Little known internationally, Staunton has suddenly become a major Best Actress Oscar contender following her tour de force in Mike Leigh's Vera Drake, in which she plays the cuddliest little abortionist of the 1950s.
Other top 2005 Best Actress Oscar contenders listed at readabet.com are:
- Laura Linney for Bill Condon's Kinsey (Linney is actually a supporting player, but never mind).
- Julia Roberts for Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Twelve (!!).
- Gwyneth Paltrow for John Madden's Proof.
So, Julia Roberts in Ocean's Twelve? But hey, since Roberts did take home the 2000 Best Actress Oscar for Soderbergh's ludicrous Erin Brockovich, anything's possible.
Annette Bening has been nominated for two previous Academy Awards:
- Best Supporting Actress for Stephen Frears' The Grifters (1990). She lost to Whoopi Goldenberg for Ghost.
- Best Actress for Sam Mendes' American Beauty (1999). She lost to Hilary Swank for Boys Don't Cry.

Current Research:
Stacy Torres's research analyzes how multiply vulnerable populations build social support and thrive in changing urban environments. How do older people aged 60 and beyond struggle and survive in 21st century urban America? We know belonging matters for elders but less about how, why, and what facilitates it. How do older people maintain their independence when faced with multiple vulnerabilities? What forms of social relationships exist? In what ways does belonging to a place or a group help people manage crises and everyday challenges?
Her dissertation investigated these questions by drawing on five years of ethnographic fieldwork among older adults in a gentrified New York City neighborhood. To understand the lived experience of aging in place, she followed participants as they coped with the accumulated losses of neighbors, friends, and family, health setbacks, depression, financial struggles, and gentrification that threatened the neighborhood places where they developed the social ties that helped them maintain their independence. She is currently completing a book manuscript based on this research, tentatively titled Old New York: Late Life in the City, and under contract with the University of California Press. She is also in the early stages of laying groundwork for her next ethnographic project, a study of people with serious mental illness living in the community. This research will seek to understand how participants experience illness and stigma, develop and sustain social ties and social support, use public and mental health program spaces to form community, and negotiate family relationships often strained by the challenges of obtaining high quality psychiatric treatment and services.

Newcastle need a number ten and Fulham playmaker Tom Cairney is understood to be top of Rafa Benitez's wishlist.
Fulham were unwilling to sell Tom Cairney to Newcastle United in the summer transfer window as they saw the Scotland international as key to their promotion hopes for 2017/18.
With The Cottagers stuck in 17th after a hugely underwhelming start to the season, however, it appears that Newcastle are now hopeful that Fulham will be a little more receptive to offers for their talismanic number ten.
The Northern Echo reports that Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez will prioritise a move for Cairney in the January window – regardless of whether or not the club's takeover has been completed by the New Year.
Cairney is understood to be one of The Magpies' main targets during the summer months but, after making a number of approaches, Fulham eventually turned down a club-record offer of £20 million for a player who scored 13 goals and set up another ten in the Championship last season.
The report adds that the 26-year-old has only recently signed a contract extension to keep him at Craven Cottage until 2021 – but with Fulham's promotion prospects dwindling Slavisa Jokanovic's side may be tempted to cash in.
And the one-time Hull City youngster would provide Newcastle with some much needed creativity in the centre of the park.
Benitez does not have a natural number ten at his disposal with Mo Diame and Ayoze Perez failing to convince in the role in recent weeks. And a lack of creativity has been exposed during a run of one win in six games, during which time Newcastle have scored just four goals.
Cairney, a player capable of producing something out of very little, could rectify that issue.

Bayside Toronto Toronto is a new masterplanned community project by Tridel. The new development will be located at 295 Queens Quay East, Toronto. It is in Waterfront Toronto city of Toronto.
|Project Name
|Bayside Toronto
|Masterplanned Community
|295 Queens Quay East, Toronto
Bayside Toronto condo community is located in downtown Toronto, south of Queens Quay between Lower Sherbourne St in the west and Parliament Street in the east. Situated in the heart of the emerging East Bayfront waterfront district, it is only five minutes away from Union Station. The location of the condos makes them decently close to all amenities of downtown while offering a breathtaking view of the gorgeous waterfront. The condos are a short way from Gardiner Expy, which makes travelling most convenient for its residents. Steps away is the Sherbourne Common park, and a short walk takes you to the Sugar Beach Park. Close to nature while having all amenities of downtown minutes away, the location of Bayside Toronto Condos is nothing less than perfect.
Bayside Toronto Condos will be developed on a 13-acre site. This vibrant, mixed-use waterfront community is a part of Waterfront Toronto's 2,000 acre revitalisation plan, which is the largest such initiative currently underway in the world. Bayside Toronto will contain more than two million sq ft of residential, office, retail and cultural spaces. Two office buildings - Queens Quay Place I and II - will provide daytime activity to the Bayside community. The first two residential phases - Aqualina at Bayside Toronto and Aquavista at Bayside Toronto - are designed by New York's Arquitectonica. Bayside will be a year-round urban destination that will combine functionality and architectural distinctiveness with some of Toronto's best public spaces including a neighbourhood park named Aitken Place Park which will be nestled between Aquavista and the third residential phase. The Bayside community will be Ontario's first LEED Gold certified neighbourhood. The condos will offer Internet speeds up to 100 times faster than what is generally available.
Developer of Bayside Toronto, Hines was selected as the master developer for this project through an international competition that drew 17 proponents. Hines is a privately owned global real estate investment, development and management firm founded in 1957. It has a presence in 201 cities in 21 countries and $100 billion of assets under management. The company has developed, redeveloped or acquired 1,262 properties totalling over 414 million sq ft. Hines has selected Tridel as its exclusive residential partner. Tridel has built over 80,000 homes in the GTA in the last seven decades. They are widely recognised for their award-winning developments that combine high-quality finishes and sustainability.
The immediate neighbourhood of Bayside Toronto Condos has Pirate Life, a performing arts theatre; Sherbourne Common park; Tim Hortons coffee store; Against the Grain lakeside pub and restaurant; Sur Art Gallery; and stunning pubs and bars. The condos are minutes away from St. Lawrence Market. Union Station is just five minutes away from the condos, which make travelling most convenient for the residents. All upscale restaurants, bars, clubs and hotels are a short drive away. The neighbourhood also has many schools and colleges. Ryerson University and the University of Toronto-St. George Campus are also minutes away, cutting down on travel-time for students. All amenities for an urban lifestyle are close by, making Bayside Condos a prestigious and highly desirable address.
Having high accessibility, Bayside Toronto condo residents enjoy convenient travelling. The nearest bus station – Queens Quay E at Lower Jarvis St W Side - is within walking distance. Gardiner Expy runs just north of the condos, which makes it very easy to access western and northern areas. The major transport station, Union Station is just five minutes away. Light rail station – Queens Quay Ferry Docks Terminal – falls a short way west at Bay Street. Major arterial roads such as Yonge Street, Lakeshore Blvd E and Queen Quay E allow residents to easily travel around the neighbourhood and adjoining areas. The many transit options nearby is a major advantage for the residents of Bayside Toronto Condos.

Stocks inched higher last week as investors cheered positive earnings announcements from retailers heading into the holiday season shopping rush. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) and the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) both reached new highs and are well into double-digit gains for the year.
A few of the most anticipated earnings reports due in the week ahead include Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK), Ambarella (NASDAQ:AMBA) and Kroger (NYSE:KR). Here's what investors will be looking for in these announcements.
Autodesk's subscription trends
Computer-aided design software specialist Autodesk will post its results after the market closes on Tuesday. Shares are trouncing the market this year as the company shows off how a transition to cloud-based delivery can improve its business. Last quarter, for example, Autodesk gained 270,000 new customers in its subscription services, and the boost helped recurring revenue jump 94% to $784 million.
Recurring revenue is up to 91% of the sales base today, compared to 69% a year ago. That success has given management plenty of confidence in their 2017 sales forecast. CEO Andrew Anagnost and his team predicted in late August that third-quarter revenue would be between $505 million and $515 million as the company progresses toward its goal of boosting subscription numbers by as much as 675,000 users in fiscal 2018. Investors would be happy to see that subscriber growth since it points to faster and more stable sales gains in the future.
Ambarella's tech rollout
Investors haven't been impressed with Ambarella's latest operating trends. The high-definition camera tech specialist is enduring slower sales growth as it deals with a surprising contraction in its drone market and stubbornly weak sports camera sales. Revenue rose by just 10% last quarter as gross profit margin declined.
Ambarella executives are predicting lower sales through the rest of the year, but they're encouraged by the long-term bets they're making. The company is introducing the first of what's likely to be many generations of its computer vision semiconductor chips, which should help it target the huge market for assisted driving cameras. In any case, shareholders are likely in for a bumpy ride with this stock since it has a huge range of growth possibilities. Ambarella's sales could take off if its engineers succeed in pushing the camera tech industry further with innovations around image capturing and processing. On the other hand, sales and profits could slump if competitors do a better job at solving camera manufacturers' problems.
Kroger's market share
Three months ago Kroger announced a return to growth after three straight quarters of flat or declining comparable-store sales. The stock was punished anyway, though, as the grocery store chain continued to give up profitability in exchange for slight market-share gains. Net profit margin has dipped to 1.5% of sales through the first half of 2017 from 2.6% in the year-ago period.
But CEO Rodney McMullen said management was happy that customer traffic and market share metrics both improved as it sharpened its competitive position against rivals like Wal-Mart Stores.
Kroger's latest forecast calls for comparable-store sales to rise by a bit less than 1% over the second half of 2017. It will be interesting to see how that prediction changes this week, especially since Wal-Mart recently posted a healthy 2.3% comps improvement in U.S. stores thanks to a mix of rising traffic, increased average spending per store visit, and soaring e-commerce sales. Kroger will need to log wins on each of these metrics if it's going to extend its 12-year streak of stealing away market share from the industry titan.

A beautifully crafted extension to a Californian Bungalow for a builder and his family. A robust yet light single-storey pavilion with exposed timber rafters, timber windows and brick walls forms the open plan living and meals area, whilst its stucco rendered brother houses bedroom, bathroom and two offices.
What is the relationship of the built form to the context of the project?
From the street, the only thing that gives away what may be hidden behind the old house is the timber battened tool-shed and trailer garage. The new single storey form to the rear however sets itself clearly apart from the existing. We reinstated the external weatherboards that would have covered the back of the old house before its first intervention and one steps down into our new pavilion in order to enhance the transition from the "old" to the "added".
What contribution does the design make to the lives of the inhabitants?
Not only were we able to come up with a functional layout that works for the family (which one would expect), but he clients are very passionate and proud of what they do and we achieved together that their house is now giving them pleasure every day (as they keep telling us!) and lets them experience their own skills and craftsmanship and take pleasure in the materials and textures as light hits from different angles.
Program resolution - how does the functional performance match the clients' brief?
The client's brief was to create a "modern farmhouse" with a "hint of mid-century Palm Springs and a touch of Hollywood Hills" and we were assured that PP had "absolutely nailed it". The client had some unique requirements, like a dream tool shed, a trailer garage, but we also managed to capture other passions in the family, like a windows seat, a "green shower", a concrete hearth that acts as table and jump ledge into the pool. The house was tailored around the owners and their lifestyle and fits them like a comfy training suit with room enough to wiggle.
What is the conceptual framework of the project - including underlying principles, values, sustainable initiatives, core ideas and/or philosophy?
The client, one of our skilled and talented builders, approached us to help him transform the dysfunctional original extension of his Californian Bungalow into a robust, yet beautiful modern home for his small family (1 child & 1 dog), whilst showcasing his passion for craftsmanship. The new extension reads as two contrasting elements: A light pavilion largely consisting of exposed timber rafters, glazing and painted brick blade walls forms the open plan living and meals area, which connects to the existing houses' kitchen.
Separated by a couple of steps and a light filled hallway with highlights to scoop in a consistent Southern light, a stucco rendered 'box' with steel shrouded windows creates the more private part of the house, which includes a kid's bedroom, a bathroom, two offices and a window seat for reading and dreaming. A concrete hearth that extends from the living room through into the spa is double-acting as a table and a jumping board and creates a strong connection with the outside. Along the Northern boundary a recycled brick wall ends in a curve hugging the pool and forms an elevated garden bed, which provides privacy to a North facing terrace.
Integration of allied disciplines - how have the contributions of others, including architects, interior designers, landscape architects, builders and other specialists, helped achieve the outcome?
The happy ending of this project is largely due to the close collaboration with the builder and his wife. The builder's input was invaluable for detail resolution, material selection, and challenging building convention. To achieve some of the unique details of the house, like the "wrong steel beam" for example, we had to negotiate a lot with the engineer. The clients were closely involved in all aspects of the project, but always knew when to leave it to the architects – the perfect client! The interiors were a playful bouncing off ideas between the architect and the client/builder.
Cost/value outcome - how effective were the decisions related to financial issues?
With the client being a builder we were able to splurge a bit, where we usually have to be very budget conscious – crafted unique details. Whilst the palette of materials and finishes was modest and practical, which kept the supply cost down we were encouraged to make use of the fact that the builder would be able to put more labour in using these in a more complex and unusual way.

The Blogger managing the affairs of UnilagOlodo has petitioned the police after a Twitter user @udala have falsely accused him of rape.
The alleged twitter user had shared some false threads that accused the blogger of raping saying that she visited him to spend the night and initially, they have concurred that the visitation was just a mere friendly visit but suddenly at night, he made sexual approaches, she wrote, which she refused.
The blogger has now, through his lawyers petitioned the police, claiming that the twitter user accusations is a case of defamation, she was trying to tarnish his image!
He shared a copy of the petition on his Twitter page, writing:
"The undue hardship I have faced in the past few days is unbearable. False allegations of sexual misconduct is now used as a weapon to destroy lives.
I have never faced so much hate and ridicule in my life. I am deeply traumatised and have lost my peace of mind and opportunities to earn a living off a business I have built with my sweat, tears and blood.
I will stop at nothing to establish my innocence. I refuse to apologise for a crime I did not commit. I have never raped anyone and I have always advocated against sexual crimes and misconduct.
My petition has been submitted to law enforcement authorities, and I believe that justice will be done at the end of the day."

HPL-2010-59Templated Recursive Image Composition
Atkins, C. Brian; Lyons, Nicholas P.; Zhang, Xuemei; Tretter, Daniel R.
HP Laboratories
Abstract: With the rapid expansions of image acquisition and consumption, there is an increasing need for solutions that help ordinary people create image composites. In most solutions today, image layouts are provided as fixed templates. Although fixed templates benefit from a familiar use model and significant design freedom, in practice fixed-template libraries often lack diversity. In a first aspect, a library may not support a particular image count or aspect ratio set; while in a second, it may not provide a particular spatial distribution. To ameliorate both these aspects, we propose a framework called Templated Recursive Image Composition. TRIC is template-based in that every layout is based on a template specification that can itself be presented as an exemplar. However, TRIC is also generative. TRIC can accommodate almost any image set, as long as there is at least one image for every template region in the template specification. Constraints ensure respect for image aspect ratios; for spacing in the layout interior; and for relative proportions and placement of sublayouts that correspond to template regions. We present a description of TRIC along with results that demonstrate its versatility.

Pursuant to 22 CFR 226.81, it is USAID policy not to award profit under assistance instruments. However, all reasonable, allocable and allowable expenses, both direct and indirect, which are related to the grant activity and are in accordance with applicable cost standards (22 CFR 226, OMB Circular A-122 for non-profit organizations, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for for-profit organizations, and OMB Circular A-21 for educational institutions), may be paid under the Award.
Subject to the availability of funds, the Project intends to provide up to 1,850,000 RSD (Serbian dinars) in total funding to be allocated over a four month period.
The Project reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted. Issuance of this RFA does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the Project, nor does it commit the Project to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of an application. Further, the Project reserves the right to reject any or all applications received if such action is considered to be in the best interest of the US Government. Applications are submitted at the risk of the Applicant; should circumstances prevent making an award, all preparation and submission costs are at the Applicant's expense.
Section 1 – Funding Opportunity Description
A. Background
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded a contract to Cardno Emerging Markets USA, Ltd. (formerly Emerging Markets Group, Ltd.) for the USAID Business Enabling Project in Serbia. The purpose of the Business Enabling Project is to help the Government of Serbia (GoS) improve the competitiveness of the Serbian economy and its private sector businesses. The overall objective is to assist GoS policy makers, business representatives, experts, and others to improve the business enabling environment and macroeconomic framework. The Project provides technical assistance and training to improve the business enabling environment, support macroeconomic stability, further develop financial markets, and improve and increase business and financial management capacities within government and business. The Business Enabling Project is made up of three components:
This RFA is for a grant that will help meet the Project's objectives in Component 2.
B. Grant activity Description
Problem Statement
Over the last decade, foreign sources, in the form of FDI and cross-border loans, and public funds financed a significant share of business investment in Serbia. These sources are not likely large enough - or sustainable enough - to finance future economic growth in the current fiscal and business environment. Foreign capital inflows have declined considerably since the financial crises began, and there is no indication they will revert to previous levels or, even then, drive a recovery. Moreover, much of the investment was made in the services and financial sectors. Only a small portion has gone into job-creating, export producing industry or infrastructure - key parts of the growth model Serbia must adopt to improve living conditions and lead the country to competitiveness in the EU market - fundamental to the Copenhagen criteria for accession.
The "Serbia Post Crises Economic Growth and Development Model 2011-2020" which was produced by a consortium of leading economists and funded by USAID, set out ambitious requirements for growth in investment in tradable goods production that will need to be somehow financed. Most economists agree that Serbia cannot rely solely on foreign savings, and public borrowing is reaching a critical limit.
However, private domestic savings rates are low in Serbia. They have been well below the savings rates in comparable countries, even countries in Central and Eastern Europe that may require less economic adjustment in the post crises environment. Serbia has a reasonably developed infrastructure in place for mobilizing savings – in the form of a well-located banking system, investment and pension funds, an insurance industry, etc. – and it benefits from sizeable remittance flows from diaspora and migrant workers. However, it is unclear why savings rates are so low? The differing savings behaviors of the household and enterprise sectors have not been adequately analyzed, so policies to increase their savings rates have not been developed.
Purpose and Objectives
The USAID Business Enabling Project is seeking to undertake a policy-focused study of private domestic savings in Serbia. The principal purpose of the study is to provide a statistical and analytical basis for developing policies to increase domestic savings in Serbia.
Guidelines for Study Preparation
The study should cover the following major elements of savings available for finance in Serbia:
The study should be based primarily on quantitative data and estimates, where necessary, and projections from relatively simple models.
The grantee should consider the composition of savings within a variety of parameters, such as by tenor, currency, type, etc. The grantee should also consider intra- and inter-sectoral relationships that may have some explanatory value. For example, such a relationship may be evident among households that run small businesses or among small businesses that are informally financed by relatives and friends.
The grantee is expected to produce a comprehensive report covering the above topics in Serbian and English that is organized in a logical way and can be comprehended by readers with a basic understanding (undergraduate degree) of economics. The report should be of a quality that is publishable.
The grantee should provide transcripts and sources of data used for the analysis, as well as any models and analysis that were produced through the study. Notwithstanding any use or disclosure limitations imposed on the grantee by third party data providers, USAID BEP will reserve the right to post the data on its website or use it for other research.
The following are the specific deliverables, which will also serve as milestones for Fixed Obligation Grant disbursements:
Section 2 – Award Information
Subject to the availability of funds, the Project intends to provide up to 1,850,000 RSD (Serbian Dinars) in total funding to be allocated over a four month period. The anticipated period of performance of the grant is expected to start from February 2012. The Project anticipates awarding one Fixed Obligation Grant under this RFA. Under a Fixed-Obligation Grant, all payments will be a fixed-sum payable upon completion of deliverables, which will be defined in detail during grant agreement negotiations.
Section 3 – Eligibility Information
Eligible organizations shall be able to comply with and achieve the proposed Program Description, Tasks, and Results and have a satisfactory performance record and record of integrity and business ethics.
Eligible organizations include legally registered US, Serbian, and third country non-for-profit, for-profit, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Applicants should submit applications in writing to: Zorana Gajic electronically, via email at email@example.com.

Meditation in Hospitality; Hospitality in Meditation
Posted by Sōsen Tyas on
What is the rite of tea? Some refer to it as a meditational practice, others point to the considerate alertness it nurtures within the practitioner to the needs, comfort and delight of others; in short, the hospitable face of this praxis. Although these two sides are seemingly opposite to one another, it is my belief that the true value of what we can learn from the praxis of tea is hidden in the paradoxical combination of simultaneously the meditational aspect, which works on the individual, and the hospitable side, which nurtures mutual respect and consideration for others.
Both items indeed seem to work against each other. When we are in meditation, then how can we be considerate of others? And when we are working to serve others, how can we also be in meditation? I believe that it is exactly this paradoxical combination – of unbroken meditation with considerate alertness to the needs, comfort and delight of others – that characterizes this rite as something of which I feel contemporary society is in sore need.
The point in the seeming impossibility of combining meditation, and consideration for others in one and the same praxis, lies in how we perceive meditation. Meditation is most commonly seen from a Zen perspective, in which an adept sits cross-legged for an extended period of time. We see this exercise as a means to 'distance' ourselves from what is current, but in fact it is quite the opposite. Through meditation, the learner practices 'being present' in his current environment. The exercise gives means to train his/her mind to become free from conceptions, and to focus on exactly what is actual in our direct environment, seeing it for what it in essence is without distinguishing between right and wrong.
Meditation is an activity that trains us to nurture inner peace and to accept. And I have consciously chosen to call it an 'activity' for two reasons. 1) Obtaining peace requires an effort. 2) Meditation is not limited to only sitting quietly. The practice of sitting was originally selected from a wide range of Yoga exercises by Zen monks, from the belief that it was the most effective practice to nurture inner peace and train in the objective observation of our surroundings. But this practice can in fact come in various forms, ranging from being focused and present in the most difficult of Yoga poses, to sneaking out of the office for a 30-minute swim during lunchtime.
The rite of tea is meditation in practice. It is only through the exercise in hospitality that this rite becomes meditational, and it is meditational because the activity and environment demands the practitioner's full attention and focus. Through meditation, an adept trains in 1) introspection to understand and accept his/her true nature, and 2) selflessness to take peace with who he/she in essence is to enable oneself to fully commit to love and give to others. It is this component of meditation that is essential to the rite of tea, for without the ability to unconditionally love and give to others, a service of tea cannot come about.

Maria Kanellis revealed on her official Instagram today that she suffered a broken wrist while training for her return to the ring for WWE.
Kanellis stated she would be forced to wear a cast for the next six weeks to fully recover, meaning she should be fine in time for the all-women's Evolution PPV on October 28.
She started training again at the WWE Performance Center last week in Orlando.
You can check out her full statement below.

We headed north from Memphis, stopping overnight in Benton and then heading for Kankakee. Mostly we wanted to go to Kankakee because the name Kankakee is really cool. Kankakee…..Kankakee. See what I mean?
About 20 miles outside of Kankakee, the Beast decided it had other plans. I had just finished telling Lulu that the old boy was doing pretty well, when a familiar banging/rattling noise issued from the engine. Yup….blew another spark plug. Fortunately, I had remembered to renew Coachnet so, a couple of hours later a tow truck appeared and took us to the town of Watseka for service. Watseka is tiny – you can't even find it with Mapquest - but it has a huge Ford dealership and the people couldn't have been nicer! We boondocked overnight in the parking lot and the next day repairs got started on the Beast while we went out and took in the sights. It took about 20 minutes (the sightseeing, not the repairs). We found a little second-hand shop where I bought really cool birdhouse lights and we found a Chinese food buffet which was really good. We had a bit of a scare when they told us that the previous repairs to the spark plugs might require extensive work, but in the end everything worked out and we were on our way to Kankakee.
Since we were only staying one night, we did what we do best. Food. Specifically, Easter Egg cookies. We decorated them all up and admired them for about 30 seconds before eating them. Are we the wild and crazy ones or what?!

Corporate Governance
We are committed to good corporate governance and strive to take into account the interests of all stakeholders as well as the environment. Below we highlight the corporate governance activities in relation to corporate responsibility (CR). The full Corporate Governance Statement 2015 is available on our website, www.tieto.com/investors/governance.
The impact of corporate governance spans internal as well as external stakeholders - employees, customers, investors and shareholders, to mention a few. To drive our corporate governance efficiently, in addition to complying with local legislation and specific regulations, we strive to implement ethical business practices taking into account the interests of all our stakeholders as well as the environment. Our governance activities are based on external and internal rules and regulations, such as the Finnish Corporate Governance Code and Securities Market Act, and Tieto Code of Conduct.
Annual General Meeting, Board of Directors
Tieto's supreme decision-making body is the AGM. Every shareholder has a right to participate in the AGM and each share in Tieto entitles its holder to one vote. However, no shareholder is allowed to vote at a General Meeting with more than one fifth (1/5) of the votes represented at the meeting. Based on a proposal prepared by the Shareholders' Nomination Board (SNB), the AGM elects at least six and no more than twelve members to the Board of Directors, including the Chairman. In addition, Tieto's own personnel elect two members and two deputy members to the Board of Directors. This is done by personnel representatives in accordance with the Personnel Representation Cooperation Agreement.
The objectives of personnel representation are, inter alia, to provide opportunities for the personnel to influence and affect the organization, to improve communication and decision-making within the group, to increase mutual trust and confidence between corporate management and the personnel, as well as to increase and develop the feeling of security among our people. Personnel representatives, however, are not entitled to participate in the handling of matters that concern the appointment or dismissal of corporate management, the contractual terms of the management, the terms of employment of staff or matters related to industrial actions.
Tieto's Board of Directors has a term of office of one year. The Board of Directors is accountable for guiding the organization's strategy on economic, environmental and social topics. At least once a year, the Board assesses and discusses Tieto's CR performance and CR-related issues. Tieto's Board is assisted by two permanent committees that prepare matters for which the Board is responsible – the Remuneration Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee.
All Board members, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors, are non-executive officers. Seven out of eight members are independent of the company's significant shareholders. The independence of the members is evaluated at the Board's constitutive meeting. The Board members shall inform the Board if any changes in these circumstances occur, in which case their independence will be re-evaluated.
Operative Management
Our operative management consists of the President and CEO, the Leadership Team, and the Industry Group, Service Line and Product Development Services (PDS) organizations. The President and CEO is assisted by the Leadership Team, which include the heads of Industry Groups and Service Lines, the CFO and the head of HR.
The Leadership Team members are accountable for the performance and development of their management areas, and supervise the operations of the units belonging to their areas. The Leadership Team also monitors the company's CR performance and approves the CR goals in cooperation with the Board of Directors.
Risk management and compliance
Risk monitoring and compliance are important parts of good corporate governance. Our internal control framework supports the execution of our strategy while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Our risk management aims at developing and maintaining the company's risk management framework, and reporting risk exposures consisting of strategic, financial, operational and compliance risks. The risk management framework consists of the risk management organization, related policies, procedures, operating principles, tools, and guidelines.
The Chief Risk Officer has the responsibility to arrange and lead Tieto's risk management and owns the Risk Management Policy, which applies to the whole group. The Internal Audit assures the efficiency of the framework and risk management in business operations.
Tieto has also determined its compliance management system, including the compliance organization, steering model and annual plan for compliance related activities. Group Compliance Officer is responsible for ensuring the effectiveness and functionality of the governance model and coordinating the compliance work.
