Picks of the week: Keep It and The Moggcast
This weekly show is helmed by US pop culture critic Ira Madison III, and produced by Crooked Media, the podcast stable behind hit series Pod Save America. Madison first cultivated his "keep it" catchphrase on Twitter, where he used it as a shorthand to express exasperation at everything from Harvey Weinstein to dance-poppers the Chainsmokers. Here, he invites critics and activists to discuss the interplay between the popular and the political via weekly instalments. HJD
The Tories have been slow on the social media uptake, having hugely underestimated the upsurge in young voters in 2017 – and also because, well, computers and humour are a bit of a blind spot. Jacob Rees-Mogg is the nearest thing the party has to a cult figure, hence wheeling the MP out for this new ConservativeHome podcast. While it doesn't get an A+ for content (JRM monotonously explains government policy and euphemistic "difficult choices", etc), it does offer a very current alternative to white noise. HJD
Your picks: Soundscapes, David Lynch and drugs reform
Van Sounds is a podcast by reporter Fil Corbitt. Episodes cover travel and music, featuring the type of people found in the nooks of far-off bars or musicians with a do-it-yourself approach. Episodes are less than a half hour, and every so often Van Sounds publishes shorter audio postcards that work like poems layered over the acoustic environment of the places they're describing. It's a unique podcast with a unique voice. Recommended by Luka Starmer
Stop and Search is a podcast hosted by Jason Reed from LEAP UK, a police organisation who campaign for a rethink on drug laws. It's on Scroobius Pip's Distraction Pieces podcast network and each episode is framed around a particular aspect around drugs and addiction to mental health issues.
Putting together panel discussions and recorded live at Waterstones Tottenham Court Road, recognisable voices such as Robin Ince, filmmaker Livvy Haydock, and writer Johann Hari are placed alongside MPs and journalists, and those who have been impacted by drugs and the laws. The eclectic mix means that there's never a lull in the conversation. The Stop and Search podcast is more than a show, it's a tool. It enables us to have the accessible conversations needed around drugs and addiction, and to destigmatise those who may suffer. Recommended by Sarah Belsom
Appropriately for a show with many obsessive fans and complicated plotting, Twin Peaks has inspired many podcasts. Diane is one of the best thanks to its focus on mysticism, philosophy and art theory rather than simple recaps. Diane isn't smug, however, and riffs on things like the philosophy of magic and Ergodic literature (one of many things Diane taught me), and that's why it's highly worth revisiting the entire run dating back to mid-2016. The team's very British approach is a perfect mix of irony and intelligence that's often missing from the more geeky detail-obsessed US podcasts about Twin Peaks. Recommended by Charlie Phillips
Guardian Pick: Sofia Coppola on the film that launched her
Sofia Coppola was only 29 when The Virgin Suicides was released in 1999. It didn't even do that well in America, but those at the Cannes film festival that year took notice. Coppola had had her doubts about her first film. It's hard to imagine one of my favourite directors/screenwriters being nervous about one of the greatest cult classics, but that's what this new Guardian podcast series is all about. The Start looks at legendary artists of our time and asks them about their beginnings, focussing on a particular piece that started them off in their careers.
In episode one the listener hears all about how Coppola resonated with The Virgin Suicides book and used its femininity to distinguish herself from her already famous, and macho father. For anyone getting into the film industry, who might be suffering from the perils of self-doubt, this podcast is for you. Recommended by Danielle Stephens.

G2E Asia 2017 - Gaming Industry Show
From an attending delegate standpoint, do you have any statistics on G2E Asia visitors that you can share? The total number of visitors increased 28% from last year, with close to 14,000 visitors from 84 countries and regions visiting G2E Asia 2017. The attendees included over 1,650 VIPs and top-quality buyers, producing a remarkable growth of 75% from 2016.
Now that the event has come to an end, what do you think of G2E Asia 2017 attendance?
Despite the gaming industry in Macau's tumultuous global and economic factors, we continue to see the evolution of gaming in Asia, with Macau as the ultimate regional hub. G2E Asia set new records this year in the number of visitors attending, exhibition space and diversity of representation at the event. The show spanned 28,000sqm of exhibition space, a 27% increase over last year, with first-time exhibitors making up nearly a third of the 180 exhibitors. These factors all benefit G2E Asia and the Asian gaming industry as a whole.
Having attended several of the conferences, I could see how popular they were with the delegates.
How important is the conference program to Reed Exhibitions and the G2E Asia event as a whole?
Conference is a very important part of G2E Asia; we strive to provide insights covering the latest market trends, regulations, opportunities, and challenges to stay informed about the industry and ahead of the competition.
This year, the conference program addressed:
- Status and projections for the Asian market
- Integrated Resort products and technology solutions
- iGaming potential
- Best practices to mitigate the risk of fraud and other security threats in the gaming sphere
Recent Years have seen the show getting bigger and better, not only by the increase of the audience but also by the square meters of space you are using in the venue. Why do you believe G2E Asia's growth has been sustained?
G2E Asia is the marketplace for the Asia gaming industry which provides the tools they need to make smart business decisions. We design the exhibition and conference content by listening to the industry, understanding their business needs, and providing value to the industry professionals who attend the event. It has become the must-attend event in Asia where they can hear the latest market trends and industry insights, make quality business connections and source for innovative products and services for the lucrative Asian market.
How is G2E Asia developing with regards to accommodating the expansion in the region that involves the likes of Japan and South Korea along with more established countries like Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, as well as with Russia and its Gaming Zone, Vladivostok?
Across the continent, G2E Asia is renowned as a key gaming and entertainment business hub. Every year, over 95% of Asian casino operators attend the event. It's truly a regional gaming event with over 80% of the attendance coming from outside Macau. We will continue to attract visitors and buyers from new developing countries and regions to ensure G2E Asia is a "can't-miss" event in the region.
Have you found any emerging trends in the region from those attending this year's G2E Asia?
What is your view on gaming industry and innovation? Product suppliers and solutions providers are launching more and more new innovations to help operators keep up with the industry evolution and stay ahead of the competition. In order for buyers to easily navigate and source for the latest innovations, Product Hot Hits was introduced at G2E Asia 2017. Hot Hit boards were installed in conspicuous spaces around the halls to display the top ten products that were scanned the most by visitors through the show's mobile app. The exciting visuals and product highlights generated additional buzz across the show floor.
What were some of the highlights of this year's G2E Asia show?
This edition of G2E Asia was a milestone in terms of its effectiveness in bringing people together to exchange views and explore co-operative opportunities that drive development in Asian gaming. The Parts & Components Pavilion highlighted the most advanced parts and components in the industry – with participation of more than 100 R&D engineers, product designers, buyers, and technical designers.
Companies at the Integrated Resorts Technology and Business Zone showcased hospitality integrated solutions, security systems, big data analytics, as well as a broad spectrum of solutions that can improve patrons' experience and boost operational efficiency. The Gaming Regulatory Briefing and Networking Luncheon, together with Future Technology Leaders' Get-Together, brought over 80 gaming regulators and technology executives from integrated resorts, gaming suppliers and government to exchange views, share updates, and explore opportunities to cooperate in driving the development of Asian gaming.

Bolstered by a renewed push from the state, area municipalities are looking at ways to regionalize services as a means to both narrow widening budget gaps and enhance quality of service in the long term.
Bolstered by a renewed push from the state, area municipalities are looking at ways to regionalize services as a means to both narrow widening budget gaps and enhance quality of service in the long term.
"Does every town need a dispatcher up all night?" asked Louis Fazen III, chairman on the Southborough Board of Health and an advocate of expanded regionalization.
Fazen grew up in the Midwest, which, like most of the rest of the country, delegates many governmental services to counties rather than individual towns.
But in Massachusetts, traditional provincial values have persisted, as townspeople have consistently decided they'd rather have their own firefighters, police officers and town offices.
"My own attitude is that we would do much better to save costs and increase quality if we could come together, in small ways or big ways," said Fazen.
The state agrees. Last year, it dedicated $4 million to a series of "Community Challenge Innovation" grants, and is currently accepting applications for a new $4 million round.
"Given our challenging fiscal realities, it's important that municipalities look at everything they can do to stretch every tax dollar," said Tim Dodd, who manages the program for the Executive Office for Administration and Finance.
Dodd said the state is looking to emulate the "more natural" focus on regionalization seen elsewhere in the country by giving towns seed money to develop "deliverable" plans for collaboration.
In 2012, the program handed out 66 grants for regionalization. Several of those grants were handed out to MetroWest towns, the most notable being Ashland and Hopkinton, which received $175,000 to plan the establishment of a joint fire department.
"It's a great example of how these grants have the potential to create new governing structures and new ways of organizing and delivering services," Dodd said.
The towns are in the middle of developing a detailed plan for how the operation would work, he said, including determining whether they would need to file for special legislation to establish the department.
"There are a lot of people watching this to see how it's going to work," said Mark Purple, the former Ashland Assistant Town Manager who took over as Southborough's town administrator last week.
Purple said the idea is "definitely something worth exploring.
"When you spend $750,000 to a million or more on a piece of apparatus that you use five times a year, and the town next to you does the same thing, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense," he said.
Small towns in the Milford area routinely share dispatch, although lately those agreements have hit a big of a snag.
An agreement between Upton and Hopedale is on hold because of a dispute over compensation. Hopedale in turn was cleared by the state to get out of its current shared dispatch with Mendon and Millville after alleged mishandling of emergency calls.
Though shared dispatch has been an issue, that hasn't stopped the towns in the Milford area from pursuing regionalization.
The state agreed to invest $1 million into promoting regionalization in Norfolk County, including $150,000 to explore regional animal control, $200,000 to explore a regional payroll system through the country treasurer's office, $244,000 to look at regionalizing veterans services and $237,000 to regionalize engineering services.
The towns of Ashland, Medway and Hopkinton received a $15,000 grant that allowed them to buy and share electronic tablets and wireless printers to use during food inspections.
The tablets allow inspectors to write up the report on-site, Dodd said, and the wireless printers let them print out the reports and have them signed by the restaurant owners, saving time-consuming car trips and administrivia.
"It's a great example of three communities working together, and also of using advances in technology to change the way we do back-end things to become more efficient," said Dodd.
Dodd said the state is working on a way to measure the savings created by new regional agreements, and is currently accepting applications for another round to be awarded in January.
There are many other towns in MetroWest that have either formal or informal regionalization of services, some as simple as just borrowing Public Works equipment or looking to trade inspectional services.
Southborough and Marlborough, for example, may look to trade sewer and food inspection services, Fazen said, since each has a specialty in one but not both of those areas.
There are a number of communities looking at the possibility of regionalizing public health services, something Shrewsbury has done with Worcester and several other communities.
"I don't think we measure up in public heath to other parts of the country," Fazen said, because small health departments at the town level simply can't afford the level of service and outreach as larger counties in other states.
The trend for public health departments nationwide is to become accredited, Fazen said, a process that requires many resources and public health positions small towns can't afford to carry.
Fazen said a recent local effort to look into a state innovation grant for public health failed, largely because communities didn't feel they were ready to make the tough decisions about retraining, restructuring and displacing employees that regionalization requires.
Still, he believes sooner or later boards of health will catch up with the times and look to pool resources.
"We can get better services for the same cost by regionalization," he said. "It doesn't matter whether you're in Wayland or Southborough, we all have the same needs for health and well being."

Blood Pressure Home > Verelan Side Effects
Most people tolerate Verelan without any problems. However, side effects are possible. The most common Verelan side effects include constipation, headaches, and dizziness. In most cases, you or your healthcare provider can easily treat the side effects. However, there are also more serious side effects with Verelan that may require immediate medical care, such as severe swelling, chest pain, and hallucinations.
Verelan Side Effects: An IntroductionAs with any medicine, there are possible side effects with Verelan® (verapamil hydrochloride). However, not everyone who takes the medication will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. When side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Verelan. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Verelan side effects with you.)
Common Verelan Side EffectsVerelan has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials, in which the side effects of a group of people taking the drug are documented and then compared to the side effects of another group not taking the medicine. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
In these studies, the most common Verelan side effects included:
- Constipation -- in up to 7.4 percent of people
- Headaches -- up to 5.3 percent
- Dizziness -- up to 4.2 percent
- Lethargy -- up to 3.2 percent
- Indigestion -- up to 2.5 percent
- Rashes -- up to 1.4 percent
- Swollen ankles -- up to 1.4 percent
- Sleeping problems -- up to 1.4 percent
- Muscle pain -- up to 1.1 percent.

The adidas UltraBOOST is back in two fundamental colorways, White and Black. For holiday 2016, the popular lifestyle-runner model receives a new Primeknit upper in form of its version 3.0. Notable upgrades for the latest iteration include a new cage structure which is constructed using opaque plastic materials providing improvements in fit, support, and breathability.
Check out photos of the two sneakers below.
The talk of the town coming to its official release day is how the upper is meticulously woven for the 3.0. In an interview with Ben Herath by Nice Kicks, the designer of the UltraBOOST, he said that the new upper increases flexibility and strength: "We were inspired by the movement of the body. With Aramis motion capture equipment, we are able to see exactly how the skin moves while you run. From head to toe, we are able to see force vector lines showing the direction of skin movement. In this way, we can lay down lines of flex and support along the contours of the body that help the 2D Primeknit surface wrap around a 3D form. We then reinforced lines in certain areas to strengthen and support the foot where needed. The design is driven by data and sport science so that it reflects the shape and movement of the body."
For the first two locally available UltraBOOST 3.0 colorways, adidas is set to unleash the runner in both men's and women's sizes.
A guaranteed blockbuster hit for its timeless design and technological advancements, the adidas UltraBOOST 3.0 will be releasing this Thursday, December 15 at Sole Academy.
Stay tuned for full release mechanics and its corresponding event recap here on saichi.ph.

Finding the right home to rent in London and the surrounding areas can be a time-consuming and complex process, especially if you have a busy lifestyle or are relocating internationally
Let me deal with your rental search. Not only can I can help identify the right locations and source property options suited to your needs, I can also advise on commuting, school or lifestyle requirements as part of my professional home search services. And, once you've chosen your new home, I'm on hand to negotiate landlord and tenancy terms on your behalf, managing the entire process through to completion.
More Info: How It Works | Optional Extra Services
Rental Property Search - How it works:
Initial consultation
We'll have a detailed conversation to help me fully understand your property requirements and to discuss and agree the home search package that's right for you.
Confirm housing criteria
Together we'll confirm your criteria, documenting specific needs and preferences. Where relevant, I liaise with related services such as educational support to match school options with housing requirements.
Search the rental market
Drawing on my local knowledge, expertise and network of industry contacts, I thoroughly search the rental market gathering information and property details - including those not on the open market - and filter through to create a shortlist for you.
Property viewing tour
A viewing date is agreed, I arrange and accompany you on a scheduled tour of the shortlisted properties, guiding you through comparisons of architectural styles, space and budget, so that you can make informed decisions.
Landlord and tenancy negotiations
When you've selected the property that's right for you, I'll negotiate the most favourable terms with the landlord or their agent - including rental price, break clause, renewal options, conditional requirements or any special requests - and submit the offer on your behalf.
Managing to completion
I review the lease agreement, with particular attention to your interests as tenant and manage the process through to completion, ensuring everything goes through smoothly and quickly for your tenancy start.
Optional Extra Services
Area Orientation
Helping you identify the location that's right for you
An orientation tour reduces the stress of deciding exactly where to live and ensures that a subsequent home search is more precisely focused on the area that's right for you - be it central London, suburban outskirts or leafy commuter belt.
It's an opportunity to explore prospective neighbourhoods and to find out more about housing and schooling options, commuting, local amenities, cultural aspects, and leisure facilities.
Visits to example properties are included and, if required, school visits can be incorporated into a day's orientation.
Attending inventory check-in and property inspection
I'm there for you on move-in day, to oversee the inventory check-in and make sure that the condition of the property is accurately documented. Meter readings are taken for transfer of utilities into your name and the keys handed over.
Getting Settled
Continued support, helping you settle in and feel at home sooner
Settling-in assistance provides a good overview of your new living environment and ensures that you'll soon be feeling right at home.
Services tailored to your requirements typically include assistance with opening a UK bank account, medical registration, information about getting around in your new location, public transport, local amenities, domestic services, health clubs and leisure facilities.
For relocating families moving from abroad, I offer a range of personalised services supporting your partner and facilitating your children's integration in the UK.
Departure Services
Managing a smooth and hassle-free departure
Efficient management of the end of a tenancy can avoid significant costs. Working on your behalf, I'll make sure that your lease is properly terminated and your security deposit is returned in a timely manner. Services include
- Notification to the agent or landlord
- Arranging end-of-tenancy cleaning
- Overseeing inventory check-out

Your PMC, very unimpressed at your potentially lethal mistake on that mission, flies you out with a crate of equipment, which will be dropped in with you by the helicopter crew so you can't forget it again. Sniggering to themselves, the crew set out in the dead of night, whilst you pointedly ignore their jibes. It's not like you failed or anything... Finally, you reach the facility and jump out of the helicopter. Landing with a grunt, you hear the crate smash into the ground next to you with an oddly liquid sound. As the clatter of rotors recedes, you realise they mixed up your equipment with part of a supply of MREs that was to be delivered on the next stop. Feasting on some of the meals that survived the fall, you contemplate radioing the helicopter to come back and drop off your equipment... Which would include the radio you'd want to make the call on.

Thoughts - Top Traits of PM and Business
Posted by Unknown
Understand and incorporate these qualities / skillsets into your work everyday!
Note: They have evolved over the past decade. Long ago, top qualities were all technical, then the focus became systems and communications. More recently, see below a list of the top 6 traits for today's successful business and project manager:
Note: They have evolved over the past decade. Long ago, top qualities were all technical, then the focus became systems and communications. More recently, see below a list of the top 6 traits for today's successful business and project manager:
1) Empathy
Tricky word to understand, becoming integral in the work place, especially with new generations, every single one of us wants it but the work place seems slow to adopt it (until now), merriam-webster defines it as:
- the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner; also: the capacity for this
In a world where we tend to think of business in terms of the bottom line and financial metrics, a discussion of the role of empathy in business seems like an indulgence. But is it really an indulgence, or is it a marketplace imperative instead? We now have studies that show how organizations with happy employees, strong organizational health, empathetic leaders, and maybe even a social mission, outperform their peers. See a good link from Forbes on this:
2) Trust
A word we often over-look and take for granted, hard to earn and easy to lose, merriam-webster defines it as:
- assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something, one in which confidence is placed
Success in projects and business unquestionably requires some willingness to cooperate with and have faith in others. The question is, how much faith and in whom? When your project budgets, finances and resources are on the line, how can you do a better job of gauging trustworthiness and thereby improve your likelihood of success? See a good article from Harvard Business School below:
3) Communication
A word we humans have a tremendous level of variance in terms of how we understand what this is and how it should be provided or received (huge risk around successful delivery), merriam-webster defines it as:
- an act or instance of transmitting, information transmitted or conveyed, a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior; also : exchange of information
The ability to communicate with people at all levels is almost always named as the most important skill by project managers and team members. Project leadership calls for clear communication about goals, responsibility, performance, expectations and feedback. There is a great deal of value placed on openness and directness. The project leader is also the team's link to the larger organisation. The leader must have the ability to effectively negotiate and use persuasion when necessary to ensure the success of the team and project. Through effective communication, project leaders support individual and team achievements by creating explicit guidelines for accomplishing results and for the career advancement of team members.
4) Cool Under Pressure
In a perfect world, projects would be delivered on time, under budget and with no major problems or obstacles to overcome. But we don't live in a perfect world
This type of skill must be practiced – and that environment is not fun. But you need to create an approach so when it occurs, you become systematic and grow and improve each time. Some good tips include:
- Do a dress rehearsal before the event (if you can predict it, go through it in your mind, prepare and visualize)
- Address most urgent need first (prioritize and attack in sequence)
- Listen (adrenaline will be flowing, people will want to run and shout, slow the pace, get multiple perspectives)
- Know when to take a breather (respect the stress you and others are under)
- Block out the white noise (anything unnecessary must be put to the back burner)
5) Collaboration
A word that we need to see the value that it brings, it is the true skill that makes our earth move to the next level, merriam-webster defines it as:
- to work jointly with others or together especially in an intellectual endeavor, to cooperate with or willingly assist an enemy of one's country and especially an occupying force, to cooperate with an agency or instrumentality with which one is not immediately connected
The most successful initiatives are driven by internal collaboration across organizational divisions as well as partnerships with external stakeholders to share mutual goals. "The more allies you have, the better," said David London, senior director for US government relations at eBay, which is the group responsible for the company's energy policy.

6) Problem Solver
One of the more traditional traits, still required in the PM field, can have multiple definitions, Wikipedia defines it as:
- consists of using generic or ad hoc methods, in an orderly manner, for finding solutions to problems. Some of the problem-solving techniques developed and used in artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, mathematics, medicine, etc. are related to mental problem-solving techniques studied in psychology.
Problem solving and decision-making are important skills for projects, business and life. Problem-solving often involves decision-making, and decision-making and there are processes and techniques to improve decision-making and the quality of decisions. See link below to learn several techniques that are always helpful:
Challenge yourself to practice these traits every single day?

Stockholm & Sweden: Sweden is a natural-born beauty, winning us over with luxuriant landscapes and sleek Scandinavian style. We cruise through Stockholm's sun-dappled archipelago, visit a designer hotel and sip cocktails in the trendy Ice Bar (a lounge built completely of ice!). We stroll through the Karl Milles sculpture garden, and admire the world's best-preserved 17th century warship, the Vasa. Then it's off to the woodsy "Kingdom of Crystal" where we peek in on Sweden's best glass artists and get rowdy at a traditional herring dinner. We pay tribute to a grand medieval castle once called the "key to Sweden". Then we escape to the vacation island of Öland, an out-of-the-way charmer with timeless windmills, ancient ruins and glorious sand beaches.

Learn & Grow together (Kathy Jackman)
A Hamilton, Ohio Sculpture
This bronze sculpture grouping on granite benches honors Kathy Jackman who founded a pre-school at the Westover Retirement Center in Hamilton, Ohio. It was for the occasion of her retirement. She also taught there, often using music and her guitar as a tool. The elderly man in the group represents the retirees whose lives have been enriched by the presence of the youngsters (& vise versa), and symbolizes that learning and teaching never stop. The closeness of the children to the adults and their eye contact with one another illustrate the loving bonds established at Kathy's school.

Praise Report
Fifty-two years after renowned evangelist Luis Palau's first major campaign in the heart of Colombia's capital city of Bogotá, the Palau Association returned once again to deliver the same message of hope to a new generation of Colombians.
This region-wide effort, led by Luis' son Andrew, brought together more than 850 churches and trained more than 12,000 local followers of Christ – all focused on a week-long campaign to saturate the city and surrounding region with the Gospel. Included in the effort were outreaches for business and civic leaders, women, and prisoners.
Watch the highlight videos and read the reports from the exciting week's activities.
To learn more about the historical campaign and the significance, visit www.palau.org/bogota.
What a finale! 12,700 decisions for Jesus on final night
Sunday, August 19 | What a way to end our time in Bogota! What a finale!
Tonight we were at Parque el Tunal – a massive park in the southern part of the city. And the crowd came out in droves.
Some of the numbers are still being tallied and confirmed, but one number we do know . . . more than 12,700 people made public confessions of faith in Jesus Christ tonight at the festival!
Isn't that amazing?! Andrew preached the Good News, and on the abundant life (John 10:10). In addition to the tens of thousands of people who we reached in person through the Good News with the festival and surrounding affinity events, the online broadcast of the 3-day festival had more than 410,000 views worldwide!
Additionally, the children's festival this afternoon – which was live broadcast via Facebook and our website – reached tens of thousands of children and their families with the Gospel.
In many ways, it was a perfect day. Just blue skies. Massive crowds. And the clear Gospel message proclaimed.
Watch the children's festival from earlier in the day:
Over 3,800 decisions for Christ on second night of festival
Saturday, August 18 | There is so much to celebrate! It was another fantastic night at the Plaza de Bolívar in Bogotá. The crowd was much larger than the night before, and the response to the Gospel was more than double!
Here are a few stats from the night:
30,000 people in attendance
61,700 online viewers
3,805 confessions of faith
Praise the Lord! There was so much joy and excitement through the crowd. Once again, Andrew shared the clear Gospel message and the masses responded in a powerful way. Friends of the Festival were scrambling all over the square to try and get to the thousands of individuals who raised their hands in a commitment to Jesus Christ.
Watch the Saturday night festival here:
More than 1,775 people make confessions of faith during first festival night
Friday, August 17 | More than 1,775 people made public confessions of faith tonight in Bogotá, Colombia! More than 1,775 people who arrived at the festival with discouragement, pain, questions, and guilt went home with new-found hope, peace, forgiveness, joy, and the assurance of salvation.
This morning they were blind. Tonight they can see. This morning they were dead in their sins. Tonight they are alive in Christ.
Faces throughout the crowd lit up as Andrew shared the Good News – it's energizing! And think . . . this square is where it all started 52 years ago for Luis Palau.
Pat Palau shared a few words early in the program, and was welcomed with a thunderous applause. They did the same for Luis' video greeting from Portland. Andrew shared the Good News while a quiet crowd listened carefully. It was a beautiful cross-section of the city. Young and old. Man and woman. Rich and poor. All different backgrounds and stories.
Additionally, a massive number of nearly 68,000 people watched the festival online.
Praise God for the ways he's already been moving in Bogotá but keep praying for Saturday and Sunday. There's much work left to be done!
Watch the Friday night festival here:
Many decisions for Jesus at morning prison outreach
Thursday, August 16 | The team had a great morning at a local prison in Bogotá. At one gathering, over 100 inmates gathered in the yard to hear Andrew's message of hope! And there were over 50 decisions for Jesus made! Moved by their decision, 5 inmates decided to get baptized so Andrew and the prison chaplain baptized them right then and there! In another wing of the prison, 20 inmates made decisions for Christ. Praise God for an exciting hope-filled outreach.
Hundreds of women gather for evangelistic breakfast
Wednesday, August 15 | As the first official outreach of the week, more than 460 women gathered for a breakfast at the Tequendama Hotel. It truly was a powerful event. A few of the musicians from the festival shared songs as well as their personal stories of faith in Jesus Christ. Wendy Palau shared her raw testimony with the group. In the end, 75 ladies indicated a decision to follow Christ. Praise God!
2,500 pastors unite in worship and prayer before festival
Tuesday, August 14 | Last night was a special time for many of the leaders from around Bogota and the nation who have work tirelessly to make this festival a reality. Nearly 2,500 people packed a local church to worship, pray, and encourage one another as they head into the busy festival week. Andrew palau shared a powerful message with the crowd.
Palau Association returns to the site of very first Luis Palau Crusade
Fifty two years after renowned evangelist Luis Palau's first campaign, sharing the Good News with the masses in Bogotá, Colombia, the Palau Association returns to deliver a message of hope to a new generation of Colombians.
The effort, led by Luis' son Andrew Palau, has brought together hundreds of churches and thousands of volunteers. The 2-day festival on August 17-18 will be at the same location as the original Luis Palau event in Parque de Bolívar. A matching festival will take place on August 19 at the Parque el Tunal. The Good News will be spread through music, the arts, and a message of hope.
Pray for this week's events:
Tuesday, August 14 | Dinner for Pastors and Leaders
Wednesday, August 15 | Outreach Breakfast for Women
Thursday, August 16 | Prison Outreach & Business Leader Outreach
Friday, August 17 | Festival at Plaza de Bolivar
Saturday, August 18 | Festival at Plaza de Bolivar
Sunday, August 19 | Festival at Parque el Tunel
Monday, August 20 | Next Generation Alliance Gathering
Andrew Palau will proclaim the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to thousands of individuals throughout the nation with the goal of once again shaking Colombia with the Gospel and launching the Church into a powerful new season of evangelism.
This massive, region-wide campaign has been in the works for many months. Andrew Palau, who was born in Colombia during the first campaign in 1966, has been an integral part of this campaign from the very beginning. At a pastor's conference Andrew spoke at earlier this year, the excitement of the local church was evident when 10,000 pastors united for the Launch of this campaign.
With an ongoing vision to train up the next generation of evangelists, the NGA gathering on August 20 will unite hundreds of Colombian evangelists. The event will equip, encourage, and inspire them further in their ministries and callings. This is part of the Palau Association's multi-year campaign to build a network of more than 10,000 younger evangelists around the globe.
The crusade in 1966 not only marked a powerful shift in the trajectory of Colombia, but also set a model for citywide impact that the Palau Association has used to reach millions of people throughout the world for more than 55 years.

Premier League 2018-19: Liverpool's probable lineup against Tottenham Hotspur
Liverpool return from the international break and get straight back to Premier League action with a visit to Wembley Stadium to take on Tottenham Hotspur. The Reds are one of only three sides, next to Chelsea and Watford who can boast a 100 percent record with 4 Premier League matches gone.
Klopp has a fully fit squad available at his disposal, and will have a host of in-form players who he will have to pick and choose from. Here's a look at the Merseyside club's predicted eleven in a match that will provide a stern test to their esteemed record.
Liverpool's defensive woes have been answered so far and that has been down to Alisson Becker, who is set to start on Saturday afternoon.
Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk have formed a formidable pairing at the centre of defence, there will be no experimenting with this on an important match at Wembley Stadium. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson were sensational last season, and so far in this one as well. The youngsters will likely start as full-backs.
James Milner has been a favourite in the eyes of Jurgen Klopp. The Englishman has one of the all-time top assist records in the Premier League, and will be a likely candidate at defensive midfield.
Naby Keita is proving to be worth every penny spent on him, and has been vital to Liverpool this time out. The Guinean's expertise will come into play against Spurs, with Jordan Henderson probably looking ready to feature next to him.
Liverpool's attacking department has been firing this season. Sadio Mane will play on the left wing and hope to perform excellently in yet another big clash.
Roberto Firmino got off the mark for the season against Leicester City two weeks ago and scored against El Salvador on international duty. He is the favourite to play as striker.
Meanwhile, Mo Salah has been functional if not impressive, and has not been anywhere close to last season's heroics. Yet he could pop up anytime and do wonders, turning up on important days.

Today, I'm presenting the last 5 titles added to my Goodreads TBR.
IN AWARDING John Steinbeck the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature,
the Nobel committee stated that with The Winter of Our Discontent,
he had "resumed his position as an independent expounder of the truth,
with an unbiased instinct for what is genuinely American."
Ethan Allen Hawley,
the protagonist of the novel,
works as a clerk in a grocery store that his family once owned.
With the decline in their status,
his wife is restless,
and his teenage children are hungry for the tantalizing material comforts he cannot provide.
Then one day, in a moment of moral crisis, Ethan decides to take a holiday from his own scrupulous standards. [Goodreads]
In her latest novel, Textermination, the eminent British novelist/critic Christine Brooke-Rose pulls a wide array of characters out of the great works of literature and drops them into the middle of the San Francisco Hilton.
Emma Bovary, Emma Woodhouse, Captain Ahab, Odysseus, Huck Finn… all are gathered for the Annual Convention of Prayer for Being, to meet, to discuss, to pray for their continued existence in the mind of the modern reader.
But what begins as a grand enterprise erupts into total pandemonium: with characters from different times, places, and genres all battling for respect and asserting their own hard-won fame and reputations.
Dealing with such topical literary issues as deconstruction, multiculturalism, and the Salman Rushdie affair, this wild and humorous satire pokes fun at the academy and ultimately brings into question the value of determining a literary canon at all. [Goodreads]
'My life is different now. I don't go to work. I don't have an office. I stay at home, hide behind curtains and make notes. I wait for something to happen.'
Gordon Kingdom struggles with the fate of his seriously-ill wife while patiently observing and methodically recording the lives of those around him: his neighbours.
He has files on them all, including:
-Don Donald (best friend and petty thief)
-Annie Carnaffan (lives next door, throws footballs over the fence)
-Benny (the boy who paints with his eyes closed).
And then there's Angelica, the new girl (42) on the street, with her multi-coloured toenails and her filthy temper. It's when she arrives that Gordon's world of half-truths really begins to unravel.
Faced with a series of unexpected events and a faltering conscience, he's left with an impossible decision. Because in the banality of everyday life, what would you do if the unthinkable happened. [Goodreads]

Winner of the Adele Mellen Prize for Distinguished Scholarship and New York Post's Must-Read Book of the Week
Marie Antoinette has remained atop the popular cultural landscape for centuries for the daring in style and fashion that she brought to 18th century France. For the better part of the queen's reign, one man was entrusted with the sole responsibility of ensuring that her coiffure was at its most ostentatious best. Who was this minister of fashion who wielded such tremendous influence over the queen's affairs?
Marie Antoinette's Head: The Royal Hairdresser, The Queen, and the Revolution charts the rise of Léonard Autie from humble origins as a country barber in the south of France to the inventor of the Pouf and premier hairdresser to Queen Marie-Antoinette.
By unearthing a variety of sources from the 18th and 19th centuries, including memoirs (including Léonard's own), court documents, and archived periodicals the author, French History professor and expert Will Bashor, tells Autie's mostly unknown story.
Bashor chronicles Léonard's story, the role he played in the life of his most famous client, and the chaotic and history-making world in which he rose to prominence. Besides his proximity to the queen, Leonard also had a most fascinating life filled with sex (he was the only man in a female-dominated court), seduction, intrigue, espionage, theft, exile, treason, and possibly, execution.
The French press reported that Léonard was convicted of treason and executed in Paris in 1793. However, it was also recorded that Léonard, after receiving a pension from the new King Louis XVIII, died in Paris in March 1820. Granted, Léonard was known as the magician of Marie-Antoinette's court, but how was it possible that he managed to die twice?[Goodreads]
Famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser digs deep to uncover secrets about the management of America's nuclear arsenal. A ground-breaking account of accidents, near-misses, extraordinary heroism, and technological breakthroughs, Command and Control explores the dilemma that has existed since the dawn of the nuclear age: how do you deploy weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? That question has never been resolved–and Schlosser reveals how the combination of human fallibility and technological complexity still poses a grave risk to mankind.
Written with the vibrancy of a first-rate thriller, Command and Control interweaves the minute-by-minute story of an accident at a nuclear missile silo in rural Arkansas with a historical narrative that spans more than fifty years. It depicts the urgent effort by American scientists, policymakers, and military officers to ensure that nuclear weapons can't be stolen, sabotaged, used without permission, or detonated inadvertently. Schlosser also looks at the Cold War from a new perspective, offering history from the ground up, telling the stories of bomber pilots, missile commanders, maintenance crews, and other ordinary servicemen who risked their lives to avert a nuclear holocaust. At the heart of the book lies the struggle, amid the rolling hills and small farms of Damascus, Arkansas, to prevent the explosion of a ballistic missile carrying the most powerful nuclear warhead ever built by the United States.
Drawing on recently declassified documents and interviews with men who designed and routinely handled nuclear weapons, Command and Control takes readers into a terrifying but fascinating world that, until now, has been largely hidden from view. Through the details of a single accident, Schlosser illustrates how an unlikely event can become unavoidable, how small risks can have terrible consequences, and how the most brilliant minds in the nation can only provide us with an illusion of control. Audacious, gripping, and unforgettable, Command and Control is a tour de force of investigative journalism, an eye-opening look at the dangers of America's nuclear age. [Goodreads]

Useful Information for Visiting Australia
General information
"Australia land of kangaroos and hope"
(Lambasciata Australian ltaly to recently provided the following useful information for visitors to the largest country of Oceania)
The Australian Embassy in Italy, on the occasion of Australia Day celebrations. Cosideta declared as the "Down Under" is still a reference point and landing place for many young people in search of an existential outlet.
How to assess the fact that there are still many young people who look to Australia as a landing?
For job opportunities you can offer, and also in view of the longstanding relationship that unites Italy and Australia, the importance of the Italian-Australian community and the significant role that Italians have had and continue to have in forging Australia today, I am not surprised that many young Italians have Australia as a destination. Australians of Italian origin, in fact, are the second group in Australia, after that of Anglo-Celtic origin. In the last census of 2011, 299,833 persons (1.4 per cent of the Australian population) they said they speak Italian.
The "heritage" left by their predecessors?
generations of Italian immigrants have made a substantial contribution to the mining industry, fishery, construction and agriculture. Australians of Italian origin have been fully integrated into Australian society and occupy leading positions in all sectors having made a significant contribution to the food, wine and tourism. Only in the last twenty years (1991-30 June 2014) 9,545 people born in Italy have moved to Australia.
The programmatic platform of welcome and inclusion?
In July of 2012, Australia introduced the visa program for skilled and qualified workers "Skill Select / Technical Choice," which allows you to get a work visa, temporary or long term, for Australia, including the "Migrant Visa / Visa Migrants ", which, however, is limited and requires an excellent knowledge of English. Through the program "Skill Select / Technical Choice," qualified Italian youth seeking employment in Australia can express their interest "On Line" and free of charge. This allows employers and state agencies in Australia to select possible candidates to be nominated for a visa, for example through the Scheme "Employer Nomination / Appointment Employer". Expressions of interest are also a mechanism to be invited and to be able to apply for a visa "Skilled Migration / Migration specialist" for immigration of skilled personnel.
The site "Skill Select / Technical Selection" (www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect) is a useful resource for finding a job opportunity in Australia and check what are the jobs for which there is actually demand.
How are the working holiday visa?
The Visa "Working Holiday Visa / Working Holiday Visa" program is designed to promote cultural exchanges and closer relations between the two countries and allows young people under thirty years of stay in Australia for a holiday period, during which they can carry out short-term jobs. The maximum period of work allowed during the stay is six months. Read more about this type of visa are available "On Line" (www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/working-in-australia).
What does Australia today?
If young Italians are able to finance themselves autonomously a holiday or a period of study in Australia, working holiday visas and visas for students can lead to future employment opportunities. According to the existing agreement between Australia and Italy, the Italian citizens residing in Australia may be eligible for health services, urgent care, and without direct burden of expenditure in the first six months of residence. Outside of cases of urgent performances and events that occur beyond the six-month stay in Australia, the Convention does not apply. In these cases it is advisable to take out private medical insurance.
more specific information
"Summary of the rules for the granting of Visas and residence permits in Australia"
(The SCA is neither authorized nor competenteha give advice in this respect, so these are provided unformazioni been compiled in close consultation with industry professionals to accredited immigration of which mentioned later)
It is no longer as easy as it emigrate to Australia or just temporarily move into this country. Australia has legislation for the granting of Visas and the very complex and rigorous residence permits that changes frequently. The procedure for granting a work visa and 'very precise and can be time consuming, costly, with no certainty about the outcome, and Diplomatic-Consular Italians abroad offices play no role in this process because the grant a visa for entry into Australia is the sole responsibility of the Australian authorities who must turn to.
Our Circle (SCA) is the committee responsible, because as already 'mentioned, the laws are very complicated and they continue to be more and more severe, even because of the current political and economic climate in which we find ourselves.
Therefore, before making tough decisions on how best to proceed, and 'to contact via Internet to the Department of Immigration at the following www.immi.gov.au website that corresponds to the "Department of Immigration and Border Protection / Department of Immigration and Border protection ". Contacting this institution you can get accurate information and specifichein first (site in English) about the procedure to follow.
Qualorarimane intention ditrasferirsi in Australia, there are "Registered Migration Agents / Brokers Register Emigration" which, upon payment of a fee, they can help in identifying the type of visa that best suits your needs and assist in the conduct of the legal process of 'visa. On you can find the list of "Registered Migration Agents / Brokers Register Emigration" at the website of the "Migration Agents Registration Authority / Registration Authority Agents Emigration" www.mara.gov.au

When you approach a piece, how much of the process is intellectual for you and how much of it is gut instinct; simply letting your hands work? I think my process is largely cognitive. I tend to work intuitively and gestural, but it's almost always in the parameter of some kind of idea. I try to give my work a lot of thought, particularly when it comes to the use of color and concept. I love making obscure cultural references or connections to political or philosophical ideology, neither of which are present in the works featured here, incidentally.
I Hate Our Answering Machine, 2008, enamel on skateboard deck
Tell us about your recent artwork. Lately, I've been thinking about the corporate exploitation of subcultures within the framework of Capitalism. I did a series of enamel drawings on skateboard decks depicting scenes from the white-collar workplace. It was sort of my way of commodifying the business world the way skateboarding and punk rock are being co-opted, neutered, and sold back to us. I think there's a lot of humor in this concept.
What artists have influenced you and why? The first artist I ever really liked was probably Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes. I used to read his strip every day, and I wanted to grow up to be a cartoonist. Watterson's integrity and the message he injected into his work shaped some of my own principles while I was growing up.
I really like Liechtenstein, Francis Bacon, and Oldenburg for their respective senses of humor and unique intellectual approaches to art making. Studying their work really got me thinking about content, context, and process.
Did your family encourage you to become an artist? Yes. From a very early age, my parents have been very supportive. I think they might have expected something a little more traditional, but they've always encouraged me to pursue art.
Describe the environment and atmosphere in which you work. Do you generally work alone or with people?
I'm currently using my bedroom as a studio space. I have large rolls of white paper that I can tape up to the wall for sketches and notation. I usually keep a running tab of ideas, concepts, and connections while arranging a composition. I prefer to work alone. I just try to stay relaxed but focused. And to enjoy myself, of course.
What interests do you have other than art?
I've been skateboarding ever since I was twelve, so that's always something I make time to do. I also love playing music. I was actively playing in bands for about six years. I'd really like to get out playing more shows again. I'm also interested in politics and the general workings of the world. I am vegan, too, so animal rights are also important to me.

Blake Harps
Database Administrator
All Star Directories
Seattle, Washington
What exactly is database management?
In my experience, database management consists of all of the administration tasks related to maintaining a database system. This includes monitoring the databases and their host systems for uptime and other key statistics, scheduling and validating database backups, and tweaking and tuning the database engines for better performance.
Database management is less about working with data, and more about protecting the data and ensuring that it is available for those who work with it.
What does your job at All Star entail?
I serve as the subject-matter expert on our various database implementations and I am the main escalation point for all database issues. While I'm only technically on call one week out of the month, I have to be prepared 24/7 if someone else on the team escalates a database issue to me.
On a day-to-day basis, I am responsible for a large number preventive maintenance tasks. These range from restoring and validating backup copies of our databases to monitoring our systems to ensure they are appropriately configured. I am also responsible for deploying, configuring and documenting new database systems.
How does problem solving come into play?
I'm confronted with issues every day that require me to do root-cause analysis or create a process from scratch. I have to backtrack from either a basic error message or pattern of behaviors to find all of the contributing factors, and then come up with potential solutions to our database problems. Each piece of the puzzle starts to come into focus a little more as you move through the process.
What are the best and worst parts of the job?
The best part of database management is the feeling of accomplishment I get after completing a large project or successfully solving a difficult problem. I'll be fairly stressed for a period of time while I wrap my head around an issue, but when it's over I can look back and see what I've created or fixed, and relax knowing that I was able to handle it. I'm also constantly learning on the job, and I feel that I get better at database management every day.
The worst part of my job is the initial stress of knowing that if something goes wrong, you are in charge of protecting an extremely valuable company asset. However, if you've planned well and have a good understanding of the environment, you can either avoid disasters or recover from them pretty easily.
I do occasionally have to work nights or weekends, but typically it's limited to maybe one night during the week I'm on call. If we have scheduled a nighttime data or application release, I have to be at a computer or on a conference call in case of rollback.
What is the best database management training?
There are lots of training courses available online that are focused on particular relational database systems, such as MySQL, MSSQL or Oracle. However, before spending money and enrolling in any of those, I think it's beneficial to get some basic IT training and perhaps an intro to relational databases. Then you can get a degree in database management knowing you have a great IT background.
What personal qualities are important?
In my mind, there are three traits a successful database manager must exhibit:
- Attention to detail
- The capability to logically think through a problem—especially under pressure
- An aptitude for articulating your findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
Do you have any words of advice for students?
I'd recommend going to school to pursue a computer science or a professional information technology degree. Not all schools have an information-technology focused department or degree, but I think it's worthwhile to search out those that do. I'd also start wide and then narrow your focus. Database management is a fairly specialized area, so getting a broad understanding of typical IT infrastructures and processes—and then drilling down to databases once you feel comfortable—is preferable. Learning the basics of relational databases and then moving on to particular platforms is also standard.

qualtrics explainer video
Get to know Qualtrics!
Qualtrics is a survey tool company where my brother works at. I decided to make an explainer video with his voice to introduce this company. It's one of my favorite and meaningful collaboration piece to show how the company works. Not many know what survey tool company do, so I wanted to show them in the most simplest way of how they work. Using 2D and 3D graphics, I matched the words that my brother was spoke about. In the beginning, I wasn't sure how to visually explain the descriptions that my brother wrote. My professor advised me to just look for the emphasis on the words and I had to brainstorm what the image could fit the words. After that little storm, the explainer video was successfully made.
I had to come up with two concepts for the explainer video. One was 2D and graphic oriented, and the other one was 3D designs. After long discussion with my professor, I decided to combine two of them using more simplified animation to clarify the understandings to the animation

The controlled havarie was necessary after the rudder assembly had become inoperable. But what frightened me the most is the great fall of loading of the big container ships since last year. The result turned out these days: Hamburg is now number three in the european container handling, after the Ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam.

Back in the summer we had a group of artists from various WI groups in the county. One of the ladies was very kind and has sent me this watercolour she did looking through the green doors and beyond to the greenhouse path. I think I shall hang it over my desk in the Pear Hut (which is more like a writing room but such a name sounds a tad pretentious!) It's only right that it should be hung in the garden! A big thank you to Janet Pearce of Bewdley, Worcestershire.
The gardens of Pear Tree Cottage sit in a cider apple orchard in the green and rolling countryside of Worcestershire, England. It enjoys a sunny south westerly aspect with sweeping views across to Martley Hillside, Woodbury & Abberley clock tower. The Teme Valley lies just over the hill and, not far away, is the Herefordshire border. Although our climate is temperate, our seasons are often uncertain and always a challenge to a gardener!

October 6, 2018 (WASHINGTON) - South Sudanese President Taban Deng Gai was Friday at the White House to plead for the support of peace and lift of sanctions in his country.
After meetings with several high-level officials in Washington, Taban discussed the issues of peace implementation and US support for his government with Cyril E. Sartor, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs at the National Security Council (NSC).
The deputy chief of mission at the South Sudanese Embassy in Washington Gordon Buay said the First Vice President reiterated the commitment of his government to fully implement the revitalized peace deal and to work with the peace partners and the regional and international community to end the war and bring stability in the country.
The meeting tackled the implementation of the implementation of the permanent ceasefire and security arrangements which will begin very soon. Taban said President Salva Kiir has given orders and discussed the ceasefire enforcement with the South Sudanese military officials.
During the meeting, Taban also said the lift of the U.S. and UN sanctions on the young country would be of help in the implementation of the peace process. Several senior government officials are under the regime of sanctions.
The meeting was attended by Caroline Sahley, Director for Africa at NCS, South Sudanese Ambassador Philip Natana and the deputy head of mission Ambassador Buay.
Following the signing of the revitalized agreement on 12 September, the Troika countries including the U.S., UK and Norway said concerned by the parties' level of commitment to the ceasefire and the deal.
Further, they specified that before they support it there must be a significant change including " end to violence and full humanitarian access; the release of political prisoners; and a real commitment to effective and accountable implementation".
On 2 October, Deng who attended the UN General Assembly meetings held a closed-door meeting organised by the Atlantic Center with several current and former U.S. officials dealing with Sudan. Also attended the event some human rights and humanitarian organizations.
Taban told the meeting that the new peace deal has settled "all disputes" among leaders in South Sudan, despite the contention by many experts that the agreement lacks any substantive difference from previous treaties, according to a statement by the Atlantic Council.
He further stressed that "South Sudan's leadership has learned from its mistakes and that the fighting had ceased. Also, he called for renewed financial support from the United States".
In response to questions about the political prisoners in South Sudan, the Fist Vice President said the arbitrary detentions of opponents was really evidence of the "rule of law" in the country, according to the Atlantic Council.
Reports by the Council and the Foreign Policy said Taban's remarks on political prisoners fuelled animated discussions about the human rights in South Sudan.
