White civilisation and early missions to Indigenous Australians
If there was ever a time and place when white civilisation could be equated with Christianity, 1788-1888 in the Australian colonies was not it. From the first settlement in Sydney to the spread of European 'civilisation' across the country, Christianity was by no means the defining feature of this society – much less the guide by which Indigenous Australians were to be treated. Missionaries designated to work specifically with Aborigines were late arrivals in the colonies. Many missionaries held some of the same negative views about Aborigines as the wider society, and Aboriginal people were quick to point out their inconsistencies and reject the parts of 'Christianity' (often European culture) they did not like. Yet, missionaries were some of the most dogged supporters of indigenous rights, and despite the frequent stories of missionary failure, there are some that reveal missionaries as people who used their faith to move towards genuine understanding and justice.
Religion in the colonies
The early Australian settlements were, by and large, relatively indifferent to religion. That religion was not a priority, even by those at the helm of these new colonies, was made obvious by the fact that no missionary accompanied the First Fleet, to work specifically with the native population.[1] This represented a change in policy direction, for all English colonising ventures from Virginia in 1607 were accompanied by missionaries, who were charged with the task of preaching Christianity to the indigenous people of the colonised land.[2] Australia was colonised in the midst of great social change in Europe. The French Revolution, contact with new civilisations, science as the new frame for truth and the emergence of Enlightenment thinking all represented significant upheaval. Christianity, once centre stage in British society, now stepped back a few places. It became socially acceptable for people in high places to challenge the teaching of Christianity, or to profess atheism.[3] This was the climate in which Australia was settled.
For the convicts, marines, officers and their few wives, who comprised the initial colony, Christianity was not of central importance. This was a prison society and was marked by punishment, injustice, physical and sexual violence, and pervasive alcohol abuse.[4] There was a chaplain who accompanied the First Fleet – Rev Richard Johnson – who likely had the toughest job in the Church of England. He found little support for religion – neither from the men in charge, nor the convicts. He was forced to hold services in the open air for five years for want of a church building, and when he finally built one at his own expense it was burnt down by convicts.[5] Among Rev Johnson's duties were that of civil magistrate – where he handed down orders to flog the very people he was supposed to be ministering to.[6] For the convicts, Christianity was just another part of the dreaded 'system'.[7]
It was thirty years before the first missionary arrived on Australian shores to minister specifically to the Indigenous population. Missionaries were invited by the government not out of a sense of compassion or desire to save their immortal souls, but as a solution to the escalating difficulties between settlers and Aborigines.[8] Many argued that making Christians out of the Aborigines would civilise them, and thus stop them disrupting the advances of white society. Others felt guilty about the wrongs done to the Indigenous people, and saw missionary work as a means of atoning for theses crimes.[9]
Hostile views on Indigenous Australians
On the whole, however, settler Australians felt little guilt about what was happening to the Aboriginal people. Stories of cold-blooded massacres were common: if settlers were to steal the land, they would need to first dispose of its owners. George Augustus Robinson – Chief Protector of Aborigines – met a party of stockmen in 1839. He fell into conversation with them and they openly declared (not knowing Robinson's identity) that they wished to 'get rid' of the 'blacks' by any means, provided they avoided detection. The overlanders wished them "to be burnt – hung – drowned – by any means they wished them got rid of".[10]
In 1838, 28 Aboriginal men, women and children at Henry Myall Creek Station on the Liverpool Plains were massacred by seven European men. Said one of the jurors after the first of two trials: "I look on the blacks as a set of monkeys, and the earlier they are exterminated from the face of the earth the better. I would never consent to hang a white man for a black one."[11] A squatter, who was trying to influence public opinion against convicting these men, wrote to the Sydney Morning Herald on 5 October 1838, "…these hordes of Aboriginal cannibals, to whom the veriest reptile that crawls the earth holds out matter for emulation, are far, very far, below the meanest brute in rationality and everything pertaining thereto."[12]
Such was the dominant attitude toward Aboriginal people, deemed worthless and animal-like. These sentiments were backed up by the science of the time – which was, in some ways, the modern religion; a new paradigm for 'truth'. The sciences of Darwinian evolution and phrenology lent credence to the belief of European superiority. Aborigines, and other non-European peoples, were 'scientifically proven' to have smaller skull capacities, longer arms, larger pelvises and so on – closer to the ape, in other words, than the human.[13] It is easy to under-appreciate the influence of these sciences, in a world that now dismisses phrenology as 'pseudo-science' and no longer ascribes to social Darwinism. Yet they served to justify the treatment of indigenous peoples across the world, as well as African slaves, by naming them as not-quite-human.[14]
These views were confirmed by philosophy, such as the Greek concept of the 'Great Chain of Being', popularised by the liberal philosopher John Locke in the 17th century, which envisioned all of creation on a chain, with each link inferior to the one above but superior to the one below. In the popular mind of 19th century Australia, Aborigines were right at the bottom.[15] Locke was influential on the Enlightenment thinkers – the ones who penned novel ideas about all men being equal, and notions of life, liberty and freedom. Yet these thinkers, including philosophers such as Hume, Voltaire and Kant, did not consider the African within the category of 'human'. Race concerned them only to the extent that it proved their superiority as Europeans.[16] It was these ideas around race and blackness that dominated the intellectual debates about Aboriginal Australians. As Kenny puts is, "in the mid-nineteenth century a secular belief in a future for Aboriginal Australians, or a right to that future, was difficult to find".[17] To find it, we must look to Christianity.
Christian attitudes to Indigenous Australians
It should be stated that Christians in the 19th century had a generally low view of Aborigines. Lutheran missionary William Schmidt thought that Australian natives were "the lowest in the scale of the human race",[18] while Methodist missionary William Horton wrote to the Methodist Mission Society explaining that the native Australian in Tasmania was the most destitute and wretched portion of humanity, and that only the shape of their body showed they were human.[19] The first Presbyterian minister to NSW – Rev John Dunmore Lang – wrote that, "In short, [the Aborigines] have nothing whatever of the character of religion or of religious observance to distinguish them from the beasts that perish".[20]
These men were clearly influenced by the common perceptions of their time. Yet crucially, Christians also generally believed that Aboriginal Australians shared a common humanity with Europeans. Despite earlier statements that seemed to contradict, in a sermon at Scots' Church in 1838 Rev Lang reminded his congregation that Aborigines were "bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh".[21] Although William Horton did not believe that Aborigines seemed human, he felt bound by his faith to find value in these people:
But as it is a revealed truth, that God has made of one blood all the nations of men that dwell upon the earth, however they may differ from each other in complexion, in features, in language and in manners, even the poor Aborigines of this Island are partakers of the same nature with ourselves, offspring of the same God and objects of his redeeming love.[22]
Missionaries of the 19th century were influenced by Acts 17:26: "God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth."[23] The authority of scripture was as a weapon against the authority of contemporary science, which said that the blood of different people was not all the same.[24] Many Christians held to the theology that was the 'curse of Ham' – that black people were descendents of Ham, who had seen Noah naked and thus cursed with slavery (see Gen 9.18-25). But ultimately, if Aborigines were descended from Ham, then they were also descended from Adam and Eve.[25] Writing in Sydney Gazette in 1824, 'Philanthropus' (almost certainly Church of England clergyman Robert Cartwright) wrote,
I think they have with myself, and all other men, one common ancestor. I am therefore willing to call them brethren, and to acknowledge them entitled to my compassion and fraternal respect.[26]
Christianity or European civilisation?
Despite a theology that departed from mainstream European perceptions of Aborigines, in other ways European civilisation and Christianity seemed to merge for missionaries. Missionaries were quick to condemn Aboriginal customs as signs of wickedness or superstition.[27] Nineteenth century missionaries generally had the twin aims of converting the 'heathen' to Christianity, and introducing them to European 'civilisation'.[28] In the minds of the missionaries, and the wider society, the two were inseparable.[29] George Hamilton told the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1796: "Men must be polished and refined in their manners before they can be properly enlightened in religious truths."[30]
Some missionaries despaired because Aboriginal people did not seem to care for material possessions and private ownership. They saw the absence of 'wants' as an impediment to the Gospel, since Aboriginal people seemed so little interested in the 'fruits' of Christianity. In fact, the obsession with property was amongst the least 'Christian' traits of European society. But missionaries were dejected: how can the Aborigines ever own property, despaired William Watson at Wellington, if they persist in this 'sharing'?[31]
For Aboriginal people, the contradictions between Christianity and white culture were perplexing. For example, when a missionary rebuked an Aboriginal man for having lent his wife to a white man in exchange for tobacco, he replied that the white man should have known it was wrong and not asked for her.[32] It seems that in some ways missionaries conflated Christianity and European culture, but in other ways saw the two as clearly distinct. For the Aboriginal people they were trying to convert, the distinction between the two was more than a little obscure.
In other ways, Aboriginal people separated out the aspects of Christianity that were helpful, and rejected parts of white culture that were not. In Central Australia, for example, missionaries discouraged Christian boys from undergoing initiation, which they saw as a heathen practice.[33] But the Indigenous people continued the practice regardless, because it had integral social significance. Likewise, missionaries advocated the giving up of tjurungas – the slabs of rock or wood that were representative of totemic beings. Yet these symbols were important for defining traditional land boundaries. The Aboriginal people were adept at discriminating between the central tenets of the Christian faith, and the Western application that did not always meet their cultural circumstances.[34]
Missionaries standing up for Aboriginal rights
Despite their failings, missionaries made up the bulk of the humanitarians of the day – a contrast to the secular position. Missionaries were keen to confirm, through practical experience, that Aborigines were intellectual equals.[35] As such, many had close personal contact with Aboriginal society, recording local languages and pioneering anthropological study amongst Indigenous Australians.[36] William Ridley, who arrived in Sydney in 1849, for example, did not confine his work to the mission station, but itinerated to meet Aboriginal people in their camps. He studied their languages (in Queensland and New South Wales), taught literacy in those languages, and collected population statistics. He dedicated much of his life to advocating on behalf of the Aboriginal people, drawing attention to many of the injustices and atrocities that were marking the social landscape of the Australian colonies.[37]
Francis Tuckfield was another itinerant missionary who came to understand something of the culture, language and great anguish of the dispossessed Indigenous people around the Geelong area in Victoria. He regularly reported the mistreatment of Aboriginal people, and criticised the government for inaction. In a passage that draws attention to his intimate knowledge of the people and their plight, he wrote:
The Government is fast disposing of the land occupied by the natives from time immemorial. … Their territory is not only invaded, but their game is driven back, their marnong and other valuable roots are eaten by the white man's sheep and their deprivation, abuse and miseries are daily increasing. … The blood of the black man is pouring forth and reeking up to heaven…[38]
Indeed, missionaries and other Christians were some of the first to draw attention to the impact of land theft on Indigenous Australians. They gained an understanding of the deep emotional and spiritual connection that bound people to the soil, and challenged the dominant view that the Aborigines had no recognisable system of land tenure.[39] In a celebrated sermon in Sydney in 1838, Baptist minister John Saunders condemned the colonists that came as invaders, stealing land without offering any compensation.[40] The theft of Aboriginal land was denounced by missionaries and humanitarians across the country – a cause whose controversy is difficult to overestimate, because for the colonists, land had its 'sacred' value as well.[41]
Believing them to have intellects equal to Europeans, Christians also invested in the education of Indigenous children. One example is the Baptist Merri Creek School, begun by Richmond Baptist Church in 1845. The school was relatively successful, with elders in the local Yarra tribe enrolling their children. Regular visitors, such as Collins St Baptist Church's Rev John Ham, reported that the pupils displayed considerable academic aptitude. The school closed down when the tribe left their Merri Creek camp for the mountains, taking the children at the school with them.[42] The school received considerable attack from mainstream society, based on the usual claims of Aboriginal inferiority.[43]
To these sentiments Andrew Ramsay, a Presbyterian clergyman, replied that although the Merri Creek school was not perfect, it confirmed that Indigenous Australians lacked nothing in terms of intelligence.[44] The pro-Aboriginal settlers were desperate to prove that Indigenous Australians were intellectual equals – and did so by trying to show they were capable of European civilisation. Nonetheless, the faith that many Christians placed in the Indigenous population distinguished them from the mainstream hostility, showing again that Christianity does not always go hand-in-hand with white culture.
The role that many Christians played amongst Indigenous Australians in the first century of European settlement shows that Christianity is not the same as white, European culture. Time and time again, it was people who professed a Christian faith who took a humanitarian stance against the hostility, theft and murder that was occasioned against Aborigines. Although many Christians took on dominant notions of Aboriginal inferiority, they believed nonetheless in the basic humanity of Aboriginal Australians. Amongst the stories of missionary ignorance and misunderstanding, are many that show that some Christians took the time to listen and understand the culture of Indigenous Australians and the grave injustices.

Social Media Shouldn't Be An Entry-Level Position
Social Media has matured and so has the position of social media manager
-By Jon-Stephen Stansel
If I told you that I had a job where I spoke to thousands of people every day, handled crisis management, customer service, paid advertising, content strategy, and a long list of other duties, you'd assume I was pretty high up in my organization, right? You'd ask my title expecting something high-level and when I said social media manager your perception would change. "Oh, I bet you have a lot of fun! Are you just starting with the company?"
This is a sad fact of life for many social media managers and something the profession needs to overcome. Social media has matured and with it, so has the position of social media manager. However, it is often seen by most organizations as an entry-level position at best.
This is a dangerous and costly misconception. Social media is far too important to a company's success to be left up to anyone other than an experienced social media professional.
Here's why:
Social Media is the Voice of Your Organization
Social Media is one of the most effective ways to communicate with your audience. More and more of your customers are turning to social media to ask questions of your organization and voice their opinions. They expect a timely and appropriate response. Your social media manager sets the voice and is one of the primary ambassadors of your organization. At a moments notice they have the capability to send a message that could reach millions. Do you really want to trust a job that important with someone whose only experience is having a lot of followers on their personal Instagram account?
Social Media is the Front Line of Crisis Communications
When a crisis hits, your social media manager will likely be the first person to spot it. By engaging in active social listening, they can often prevent a possible crisis or give you an early warning that one is about to occur. They need the authority to respond quickly and appropriately. We've all seen the horror stories of brands not handling social media properly in the time of crisis. With the right person, this is preventable. You need someone who has experience and can be trusted to handle a crisis the moment it occurs. This requires a trained professional, not an entry-level employee or an intern. Hire a professional and give them the authority to act when needed.
Social Media Turnover Can be Costly
A social media manager doesn't just need to know social media marketing. They need to know the ins and outs of your organization as well. Would you hire a social media manger for a baseball team who didn't know the rules of the sport? A good social media manager should know their organization backwards and forwards and that can take time. They need to know who can answer the hundreds of questions they field every day, who can help them create content, the history of the organization, and a thousand other nuances of the company. This is an investment. Do you really want to train someone to this level only to lose them when a higher paying job comes along?
Social Media Managers Need the Authority to Say No
One of the most important duties of a social media manager is saying no. They are constantly bombarded with requests to post low quality and off-brand content, create new social media accounts, and other items that do not align with the organization's social media strategy. In order to protect the brand, they must often say no to people in much higher levels. They act as a gatekeeper that can prevent many of the pitfalls associated with social media. A social media manager needs to be empowered to respectfully say no without fear of repercussion. This requires a certain level of authority within the company that does not come with an entry-level position.
Social Media Managers are Jacks of All Trades
Social media is multi-platform. In addition to understanding the nuances of every social network, social media managers must have an understanding of video production, photography, graphic design, be excellent writers, analytics, web design, and many other skills. This is no easy task and takes time and effort to perfect. In addition, a good social media manager is always learning and perfecting their craft. They must stay on top of the latest trends and changes in the field and be ready to adapt. They must be able to recognize what trends are worth their time and which ones are a flash-in-the-pan. You need someone who has had the time and experience to acquire these skills. This requires prior experience that an entry-level employee does not yet have.
While social media marketing is still a relatively new field, it has matured rapidly. Gone are the days of handing off social media management to an entry-level employee or intern. It belongs in the hands of a professional who has devoted the time and effort to become a master in the field. This is what separates companies who excel in this important arena and those who merely get by...or worse.
Note: I realize that many of you reading this are social media managers currently in entry-level positions. Perhaps many of you are fresh out of college, interns, or hope to enter the field soon. This post is in no way intended to disparage your efforts. The goal is to show just how important the role of social media manager is. If you are in an entry-level social media position, my advice to you is this: Don't treat your job like one. Treat your role as social media manager as if it were one of the most important in the organization. It is. Make it your business to know the industry inside and out, ask to be invited to meetings where important communication decisions are made and make your voice heard, host training sessions for other employees and educate them about your role and show them what you do every day. Soon, you'll be able to change the perception of what you do from one of an entry-level grunt to that of a trained and experienced professional with immense value to the company.

Cyber-Chex is a web application for accepting checks remotely. The system allows
you to take "Demand" checks from your customers. The term "Demand" check means that
you, the business, can print a check on behalf of the client. You simply enter into
the system the clients information plus bank routing and account number. When you're
finished you can print the check on your laser printer.
* Some banks require the use of magnetic MICR toner. This toner
allows the checks to be read through check scanners. Please contact your bank before
ordering MICR toner.
For security purposes the system does not store routing or account numbers. You
have the ability to save your clients information except specific bank data. The
reason for this is to protect both you and your client.
A Demand check is something that can be initiated by the payer/customer either orally,
by email or fax. Once you receive permission from your payer/customer to create
a demand check based on one of the three methods listed you are allowed to print
the check. The regulations that permit these types of checks are listed below: Uniform
Commercial Code, Title 1, Section 1-201 (39) and Title 3, Section 3-104,and 3-403;
Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, Chapter U, Part 210; and Regulation J., Federal
Reserve Bank, Part 2, Sections 4A-201 to 4A-212.
Cyber-Chex is NOT an ACH system. The program will not automatically debit your customers

6 Prints We're Still Obsessed With
Discover the six (still) most trending prints you'll be all over this year, complete with handy hints and cool-girl tips from Peppermayo's very own stylist.
Well hey, florals aren't groundbreaking but they sure do look good. From camo, check, stripes and spots take your pick of our printed pieces for a stylish summer.
Camo made the ultimate comeback in 2017 and you'll for sure be seeing this print all through the new year. With the intro of bold oranges, blues and pinks- camo has had a killer fresh revival. To get that edgy cool girl vibe, let the camo do all the talkin'. Add some Docs, vintage sunnies & even a beret if you want to step it up a notch. When style queens Kimmy K, Bella Hadid & Rhi Rhi all step out in camo - you know it's part of the It Girl uniform.
Delicate Florals
We can't get enough of these pretty little flowers! Delicate floral prints were huge last year and we can't see it going anywhere. The delicacy of the flowers instantly gives you that European summer vibe - just add white kicks and a straw bag and you've got the look down pat. Who doesn't love feeling all girly once in a while?
The oriental print inspired by the East came in with a bang in 2017. The eccentric colours mixed with ultra delicate details make it feminine with a cool-girl twist. We love pairing these types of prints with combat boots for an effortless bold look that will have everyone feeling envious.
Whether it's an intricate gingham or oversized tartan print, checks are one of the hottest trends right now. Being so versatile you could go the cool edgy 'Clueless' vibe or opt for the gingham style if your more of a girly girl. So if your mum has kept her oversized checkered blazer from the 90's that somewhat resembles a uni professor - time to let that baby out of the closet.
Polka Dots
Stripes have been dominating the streets for decades but in 2017 we saw it more than ever. Bold vibrant stripes, summer pastel colour palettes as well as the revival of the pinstripe, all took centre stage. For a classic look opt for a pinstripe dress - pairing it with some Vans for a daytime look, then swap for a black heel & hoops to kick it into nighttime. The beauty of stripes is that it's so versatile, it's no wonder the trend never dies!
Polka dots come and go every few decades and last year we saw the timeless trend get a modern update - just in time for our summer! Polka dots may seem tricky to pull off (there is a fine line between looking vintage classic and looking like Minnie Mouse😅 ), so add some vintage 90's sunnies, an edgy sleek black boot and you won't fail!

I've already hit this topic in a past post, but I'm talking about it again because it's so insanely important to me. If you fail to realize this critical truth, then you just might miss out on some of the best parts of your life.
Here's the clincher: life is way too short.
Well, duh, of course it is. But, the way American culture is built around this idea of we'll live forever and never die, I think most of us forget about it.
We forget that we will die one day. We forget that we will actually grow old. That we won't stay young forever. And that's scary to think about.
Steve Jobs said "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life."
And as scary as that thought might be, we should all embrace it.
Growing old doesn't need to scare the hell out of us anymore. It can be something we actually look forward to.
We won't be young forever, and we should use that as motivation to make life awesome while we're here. This means that we need to stop worrying about what won't matter in 40, 50, 60 years. And the truth is, most things just don't matter.
What people think about us.
Having nice things.
How many followers we have on Instagram.
Being liked.
And start focusing on what really matters.
Our family.
Our friends.
Our memories.
Our legacy.
Life is pathetically short; make it count.
What are you doing to make life awesome today?

Transitioning RelEng Status¶
From time to time, folks move in and out of the Release Engineering role. As they do so, access to various systems should be granted and removed [*] .
When someone moves into the organization, permissions should be granted as needed to perform the various tasks. While permissions are granted only as needed, there are also minimum requirements for the permissions. For example, some permissions may only be available to someone who is both a member of the RelEng team and an employee.
The table below lists all the permissions, and which requirements are required to have that permission. When a person no longer has a specific status, all permissions which require that status need to be check and revoked. (Refer to the day one page for details on permissions.) Legend:
RE Emp CM Permission password changes: X access to releng password files [1] X X #mozbuild password [2] X bouncer [3] X balrog [3] X treestatus [3] X releng etherpad account [3] X cltbld & root slave farm password X releng puppet masters compute resources X X X AWS console access X X releng LDAP bits (IT bug) releng, vpn_releng, RelengWiki, & SysAdminWiki X unassign any resources in slavealloc X RelEng machine access e.g. puppet, scriptworkers, etc. [4] miscellaneous systems X X github ownership roles [6] X hg.mozilla.org special access [5] X X X github write access (review) X releng/build bugzilla group access [7] X X Google Drive RelEng folder access X X Release google calendar X X Release google group X X Release Trello group X other Google Drive documents [8] X re-assign bugs X named contact in Nagios escalation chain X Allowed to merge to puppet production [3]
Detailed Instructions¶
Password List¶
Almost all passwords are now shared via gpg encrypted files. To get a
list of passwords shared with a user, use the
access to the repo requires both membership in both the
To change the password on an IRC channel where you have ops permissions:
|(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Bouncer: change via bounceradmin.m.c
Balrog: go to permissions from https://aus4-admin.mozilla.org/rules.html
Treestatus: from users page.
Puppet Merge: commit update to hook <https://hg.mozilla.org/hgcustom/version-control-tools> and request deploy.
Compute Resources¶
In addition to password changes governing access to compute resources, a scan of systems must be made to ensure no processes or cron jobs have been left running.
|These are systems where the user is granted access via their ssh
key, either to their user specific account, or to a shared account
(such as
cltbld). However, these systems have keys deployed via
the RelEng puppet servers, which only sync with MoCo ldap
via a cron job.
Miscellaneous Systems¶
These systems are unique, so you may need to refer to other documentation for instructions.
|There are some hand maintained white lists for push permissions to certain branches. (E.g. puppet production) Changes need to be approved by a RelEng/RelOps manager.
|For now, the accounts to check are mozilla & mozilla-b2g. Note that we're only discussing the ownership role here on RelEng owned resources. If the person has ownership rights to repositories due to their contributor status, that does not change.
|This bugzilla group can cause some confusion for folks transitioning out of MoCo but remaining a RelEng contributor. Perform on the admin page.
|To find documents where exceptional access has been granted, use the script at http://labnol.org/?p=28237
Unlike most of Mozilla development, some Release Engineering roles are only available to employees for various legal or contractual reasons. That leads to layers of access:

It is in life's greatest contrasts, that light piercing the blackness, when nights become day that we begin to realize what our souls have been craving. I finally 'see' how the Son of God has pierced the darkness of my blindness that prepares me for that coming day. We must accept the dark nights of our soul with a courageous understanding that those distant and abandoned feelings that even challenge our true capacity to forgive. When prayer becomes a constant duty that must be filled whenever and where ever – even when loneliness shadows our very soul. Yet, like the dawn, there is a silver lining to the new and unfamiliar distance to God's nearness since it allows an opportunity for a new emptiness. Like the constant prayer that fills the parched moments of reality, the emptiness that seems to hollow out our very being can now only fill with our honor and glory for God. This once sliver of faraway light begins to roll back the scroll of night that holds all our distractions pulling us from our soul's draw towards sanctity. It is finally realizing the need of our poverty of spirit that allows us to not only be re-filled but rehydrated by that promised eternal spring. Although incessant prayers are carried on shallow breaths past parched lips, our soul is thoroughly quenched in the fullness of God's liquid charity. Like a dog on a retractable leash I know I am tethered to my master yet still feel the freedom to feel abandonment or confidence to roam without fear. True freedom and this indescribable sense of peace can only flower in the fruit of humility. It is a strange and irresistible sense of docility that finds no pleasure in presumptuous judgment of another's state of grace but only the joy of sharing the invitation that beckons the soul towards perfection. My gratitude must start with accepting the gift of prayer that allows the soul to breathe in the dawn as we communicate with our very Creator. Without prayer… our eternal reunion with a Triune God is in grave risk. Prayer is greatest in our weakest moments when our humanity loses grasp and falls into the waiting hands of God. There, when young parents sit as one trembling flesh while their son's future is determined at the the end of a surgeon's scalpel, the unwelcome ache of emptiness yearns for hope beyond hope. Even when there are no more tears to give, prayer finds its helium as it collides into the dawn. The prayers for healing and restoration for their boy are constant yet do not numb their ache. The ache soon dulls in that transformative moment of unexpected gratitude, when only praise and glory lift breaking hearts and tearful eyes to the One who will make all things new. The dark night may be found waiting long hours in a hospital or in years of quiet solitude – yet both find hope wrought in prayer. If we believe that the dawn is coming we should not fear its preceding night and stand humble and ever watchful for it's first ray responding to our gratitude.
Therefore seek the One True God that is near.
Find Peace,

Trump Jr. discusses damaging Clinton information in newly released emails
'In retrospect, I probably would have done things a little differently,' Trump Jr. tells Fox News host
U.S. President Donald Trump's eldest son released an email chain Tuesday that shows him discussing plans to hear damaging information on Hillary Clinton described as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump."
The emails are the first evidence that a top Trump associate took a meeting to hear damaging information about Clinton with the understanding that it was connected to a Russian government effort to help Trump in the 2016 election. Trump Jr., in addition to being the president's son, was deeply involved in his presidential campaign.
In a statement Tuesday, Trump's eldest son said he was posting the emails "in order to be totally transparent." It appeared the New York Times had already obtained the contents of the emails, as the paper published an in depth story surrounding the email chain just moments after Trump Jr. posted the emails.
"My son is a high-quality person and I applaud his transparency," the president said in a statement read by White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders at a press briefing.
At Monday's press briefing, Huckabee Sanders said the president first learned of the Trump Jr. meeting "in the last couple of days, is my understanding."
- 'Had to listen': Key questions about Trump son's meeting
- TIMELINE l Russia and the Trump administration
The emails between Trump Jr. and music publicist Rob Goldstone show that the president's son was told that the Russian government had information that could "incriminate" Clinton, who was running for the presidency, and her dealings with Russia.
"The Crown prosecutor of Russia ... offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father," said the June 3, 2016 email to Trump Jr. from Goldstone.
"If it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer," Trump Jr. replied to Goldstone in one of a series of email exchanges the younger Trump posted to Twitter.
Goldstone was working to connect Trump Jr. to Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya. Trump Jr. admitted in recent days that he spoke with Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in New York on June 9, 2016.
Russian denies meeting Clinton-related
The emails, dated early June, show Goldstone telling Trump that singer Emin Agalarov and his father, Moscow-based developer Aras Agalarov, had "helped along" the Russian government's support for Trump.
The elder Agalarov was involved with Trump in hosting the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. The two men also had preliminary discussions about building a Trump Tower in Moscow that fell through. Trump also appeared in a music video with the younger Agalarov.
Goldstone at one point said he could send the information to Trump's father first directly "via Rhona," an apparent reference to the elder Trump's longtime assistant Rhona Graff.
The email release followed days of evolving accounts from Trump Jr. about the nature of the meeting and its purpose.
On Saturday, Trump Jr. described the encounter as being a "short introductory meeting" focused on the disbanded program that had allowed American adoptions of Russian children. Moscow ended the adoptions in response to Magnitsky Act sanctions created in response to alleged human rights violations in Russia.
A day later, Trump Jr. changed his account, acknowledging that he was told beforehand that Veselnitskaya might have information "helpful" to the Trump campaign, and was told by her during the meeting that she had something about Clinton.
In his third description of what occurred, on Tuesday, Trump Jr. said he had believed the information he would hear about Clinton would be political opposition research. He said that he first wanted to speak by phone, but that when that didn't work out, he was told that the attorney would be in New York "and I decided to take the meeting."
"The woman, as she has said publicly, was not a government official," Trump Jr. said in the Tuesday statement. "And, as we have said, she had no information to provide and wanted to talk about adoption policy and the Magnitsky Act."
Trump Jr.'s newly appointed lawyer, Alan Futerfas, on Monday said "that Don Jr. had no knowledge as to what specific information, if any, would be discussed" in the meeting. He called the reports "much ado about nothing," and noted that Veselnitskaya was not a government official.
Veselnitskaya told NBC News in an interview aired early Tuesday that the meeting was to discuss sanctions between the U.S. and Russia.
"I never had any damaging or sensitive information about Hillary Clinton. It was never my intention to have that," she told NBC, speaking in Russian.
'Opposition research,' Trump Jr. says
Trump Jr. spoke to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night.
"In retrospect, I probably would have done things a little differently," he said in the interview, noting that the meeting happened before the "Russia mania" in the press.
Trump Jr. said he wanted to hear out the information.
"For me this was opposition research, they had something, you know, maybe concrete evidence to all the stories I'd been hearing about."
The meeting lasted about 20 minutes and went nowhere, he told Hannity.
Trump Jr. said he didn't tell his father about the meeting.
"It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell."
The meeting, he said, was a waste of time.
Mueller spokesperson declines comment
The email chain shows that Trump Jr. forwarded the Goldstone message to Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, who have each been embroiled in questions surrounding the Trump administration and election campaign team and their contacts with Russian officials.
Multiple congressional committees and Robert Mueller, a former FBI director acting as special counsel, will almost certainly be reviewing the emails for signs of potential campaign collusion with the Kremlin, which the White House has repeatedly denied.
Mueller spokesperson Peter Carr declined to comment on the emails, citing the ongoing investigation.
Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate's intelligence committee, said the emails show that a congressional investigation into Russian election meddling is "all that more important."
'Very problematic'
Warner dismissed the suggestion that Trump Jr.'s eager acceptance of help could just be naiveté: He said: "Lying is not a rookie mistake."
Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on a House oversight committee, said in a letter addressed to Trump Jr., Kushner and Manafort that he was concerned that the decision to take the June 9, 2016, meeting raises questions about their "respect for the very principles that our democracy has been founded upon."
Senator John McCain predicted "more shoes will drop," and his fellow Republican Lindsey Graham said: "On its face, this is very problematic."
Other Republicans downplayed the revelations, however.
Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah called the matter "overblown," describing Trump Jr. as "a very nice young man."
Thom Tillis of North Carolina appeared at a news conference with seven fellow senators, insisting that Republicans should not be "distracted" by the latest reports on Russia and instead stay focused on their agenda.
Mitch McConnell, Senate majority leader, said he had confidence the intelligence committee co-chaired by Warner and Republican Richard Burr "will get to the bottom of whatever may have happened."

This study describes the isolation and characterization of several Burkholderia species from soil in northern Australia. Phenotypic and molecular tests indicate that these isolates belong to the species Burkholderia thailandensis and Burkholderia ubonensis. These observations significantly extend our knowledge of the geographic distribution of these 2 species. Evidence of these species in Australia has implications for bacterial identification in clinical laboratories, diagnostic serology tests, and environmental biodiversity studies.

Meet the co-founders of Pouch
Hi Ben, why don't you tell us a little bit about the team behind Pouch?
Sure! Our team is probably our best asset. The three of us cover a lot of ground due to the depth and breadth of our experience in different fields. There are 3 co-founders. Our CTO, Vikram Simha, oversees the technical direction, production and development of Pouch. He has 11 years experience as a full stack engineer and enterprise solutions architect with companies like Cisco, Bank of New York and Brilliant Basics. The guy can build just about anything.
Jonny Plein is our Finance and Operations Director, and he makes the wheels turn and manages a lot of the business logistics, investor introductions and legal documentation etc. He is a qualified Charted Accountant with 2 years experience in M&A and Corporate Finance at one of the 'Big 4' firms after studying Economics and Mandarin from the University of Nottingham (where he was also Head of Project Development at Enactus). Smart kid!
I am the Sales and Marketing Director. My role is focused primarily on user acquisition and in building and maintaining strong relationships with key industry stakeholders such as Affiliate Networks, Agencies, Retailers and various other third parties. Before co-founding Pouch, I was Head of the Nordic markets at the performance marketing and onsite optimisation firm SaleCycle. Before that, I was a Partnerships Manager and very early hire at Yieldify, which quickly grew to be one of the fastest growing technology companies in Europe.
We have also made 3 key hires. Josh Haokip looks after much of our digital marketing and partnerships with student groups/bodies (students are a key demographic). Chema Mora looks after a lot of our front-end development, and Timnit Mengesha works on the back-end and database maintenance.
There are so many discount sites out there, what makes Pouch different?
The main thing that makes us different is the fact that we are not a website. We are a browser extension. This means we are able to automatically find and display the best voucher codes as you shop online, on over 3000 UK stores, so you never need to visit a voucher code website again.
Google, in all it's infinite wisdom, still cannot determine the validity or redeem-ability of voucher codes on voucher code websites. Therefore, it's search rankings rewards the voucher code sites with the most 'meta data' which is why there are so many invalid, expired or irredeemable voucher codes on these voucher code websites. Because we are a browser extension, we are not incentivised to retain useless voucher codes, and can therefore offer a more seamless solution which saves far more time and money for users.
It is simply too hard and frustrating to find and redeem valid voucher codes when shopping online. Additionally, retailers spend millions of pounds driving users to their websites, and millions more optimising those sites for conversions, yet 75% of users abandon the checkout page. One of the most common causes of this is due to users leaving to search for voucher codes. Thanks to Pouch, retailers no longer need to rescind control of their user journey; the user stays on the website and enjoys a seamless experience, while retailers see a direct increase in sales as a result.
Tell us about the Google plugin and how it works.
Once downloaded to the user's browser from our website www.joinpouch.com, our icon sits in the right hand corner of the browser. We can then recognise the eCommerce website that the user is on, and Pouch then gently notifies them when we have working voucher codes for that site. The user then clicks on our icon and a drop down list of voucher codes (and descriptions) appears. Then, the user clicks on the deal and the code is automatically copied and then applied to the checkout page.
What are some of your top tips for generating business in a saturated sector?
I think the simplicity of our product, coupled with the fact that the problem we are solving is universally understood, allows us to communicate our value proposition easily and effectively which is a huge advantage, especially in such a crowded space. In addition, due to the relationships we have formed with the major UK Affiliate Networks, we were able to begin working with several thousands retailers very quickly, leaving us more time to focus on other important areas such as fundraising.
Everyone loves a bargain online and in store, what tips do you have for hitting the stores during the festive season?
The best discounts and deals can usually be found online rather than in-store (due to the higher margins and lower Cost of Sale in eCommerce as compared to Bricks and Mortar shop). Therefore, my obvious tip would be to download Pouch and get easy access to all the best discounts as you shop online. We are also sending out a weekly newsletter which includes information on the best deals both on and offline over the Christmas period and the January Sales season.
What challenges have you encountered and how have they strengthened the business?
I think the biggest challenge has been in honing the way we communicate Pouch, particularly to investors. We have created at least 20 different pitch decks, presentations and investor packs over the past 8 months, but of course we still haven't perfected our messaging. Also, alongside that is the challenge of deciding what feedback or suggestions to implement, and which to ignore. Everybody in the world has an opinion, especially in the London start-up community, and much of it is highly conflicting advice!
But by constantly reviewing our own value proposition, and by respecting the feedback we get, we are able to build a much strong product and brand and we are much more equipped to answer questions and handle objections.
Where do you see Pouch in the next couple of years?
At Pouch, we hope to have approximately 13-18 employees by this time next year and to be cash-flow positive. We will have launched our mobile proposition, and will be focused on consolidating our UK market position. By Year 2, we would like to have strong market penetration in key markets such as Germany, France and, of course, the US, and be a highly recognisable brand.
Our aim would be for Pouch to be used as a 'verb' in everyday vernacular much like how you 'Skype' somebody or 'Whatsapp' a friend. To hear somebody say "I Pouched it" would be nice. Further down line, we will be a large multi-faceted technology business with a total focus on innovation. VR, AR and AI are where I expect to see most of the rapid advancements taking place in technology over the next 5 years, so I expect Pouch will be working heavily on these platforms, and probably moving away from Desktop altogether. We are already a very data-driven company, so it would be exciting to really help drive the new wave of machine learning in the retail/commerce sector.
Business owners have been rated the happiest workers in the UK, agree or disagree?
Agreed. It isn't particularly difficult to motivate yourself when it's your own company and you love building cool products with your best friends. However, my increasingly diminishing personal bank account is also a good motivation to work harder! Start-ups come with their own ups and downs, but being a co-founder is certainly the best job I have ever had.
What advice would you give to anyone stuck in a 9-5 who wants to start their own business?
That is a hard question to answer as it strongly depends on the individual, their experience, the market they are looking to enter, their financial situation and, most importantly, the support system around them. I would say the first thing somebody should do is find at least one co-founder that has a totally different skill set that is necessary for the business to succeed. Start-ups can be very lonely and very few sole-Founder firms succeed.
Next, come up with a proper plan and speak to as many people as possible about your idea (potential users, clients, investors etc) in order to validate it and to determine whether there is a genuine market need for your product. Finally, ensure you have the resources to cover your rent, food and travel expenses. Only then you should quit your job and focus 100% on your company. Whilst speed is important, there is no point rushing. You must ensure you give your business the perfect chance of success.
How do you relax and enjoy the success of the business?
I watch a lot of Netflix! I don't really 'enjoy the success of the business' because we are too young and there is still far more that needs to be done. However, we do celebrate key milestones such as getting our investment, making our first £1 in revenue, getting onto the MassChallengeUK accelerator (and then the final top 20).

It's amazing how many ways there are to save money. It seems like every day we're learning a new way to save. And as Your Life for Less pointed out in one of their blog posts today, saving money isn't a one-size fits all approach.
It helps if you can find a savings method that works for your particular situation. If you find yourself carrying around change in your pocket, please stick around because we'll be showing you how to turn this spare change into serious savings throughout the rest of this post.
The first thing that you should know about using change to save money is that there are creative ways to save money and there are more traditional ways to put something extra aside. Saving pocket change as a savings strategy would definitely fall under the category of creative ways to save money.
However, don't let the fact that this is creative prevent you from considering this option. This is because throughout the day there are usually enough opportunities for you to use this strategy to make it worth your while.
Actively on the Lookout for Loose Change
One of the simplest ways to save spare pocket change is to physically look for it. If you look in your own home, chances are that you will be able to find at least a few coins that you may have dropped and never noticed. For example, a great place to look is in your couch, your pockets or even on the floorboard in your car.
Keeping the Change
Another really practical way to save your loose change is that anytime you pay for something with cash; resist the urge to insert the remaining $0.75 into the vending machine. Instead, designate an empty jar as the place that you'll be putting your loose change-going forward.
Digital Change
A number of financial institutions have started programs that encourage you to use your debit card by helping you build your savings account. These programs tend to be referred to collectively as "save as you go" or "round up" plans.
The way it works is that for each purchase you make using your debit card, your bank rounds up that amount to the nearest dollar. Then, they deposit the difference into your savings account.
This method of saving money does not put a lot of money into your savings account at a time, but over time the amount can add up.
At the end of the day, so long as you are consistently saving money the method that you use doesn't matter so much. However, if you like finding creative ways to do things or if you encounter a fair amount of change each day, saving your pocket change could be just what you need to grow your savings account.
We hope you've enjoyed this post. Also, don't forget that if you'd like to stay current on the latest budgeting, saving money and fashion tips be sure to subscribe to our newsletter or RSS feed!

What is your "treasure"? What do you consider the most valuable thing you could possess? Throughout scripture, we see that God our Father wants to give us a treasure beyond all price if we but ask Him.
King Salomon was called the wisest man on the earth because he asked God for wisdom and good judgment (1 Kings 3:5,7-12). Jesus' parables frequently highlighted the "treasure" that God offers those who seek Him. The Psalms also direct us to seek treasure in God's word, which is finer than gold (Psalm 119:127).
The man in the parable of the treasure hidden in the field eagerly set out to sell everything. Why? Because he found something worth possessing above all his other possessions. Fortunately, he only needed enough money to buy the field – not the whole treasure. In a similar fashion, God offers us the treasure of His Kingdom at a price we can afford!
We can't pay the full price for the life God wants to give us. That treasure is the Lord Himself and life in His Kingdom, a Kingdom of "righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17). In baptism we are united with Jesus in His death and resurrection. We become adopted children of God and temples of the Holy Spirit. This is something far beyond our ability to produce, let alone maintain. Only God can make us into a new creation

A Good Step Forward for Greener Village, but We're Not There Yet
Christmas has come early for those who staff, volunteer at, or in any way care about Greener Village and the services it provides for those who rely on it. After the Seventh Day Adventist Church turned the operation on its ear with the shocking, inexcusable firing of its Executive Director Elizabeth Crawford Thurber last summer, the facility has struggled with low morale, dried up donations and the appointment of an unemployed church member woefully unqualified to manage it.
But thanks to sustained pressure from within the community and particularly the Facebook group Change Greener Village Board, the church has been forced to do just that. This is a giant step forward and the naming of Ken Little as the new Board Chair is certainly a positive step, as Ken has been at Thurber's side through much of the inspired innovation she led over many years, taking the food bank from the days of handing out bags of food in a parking lot, to the current facility with a teaching kitchen, community gardens, clothing boutique as well as groceries and staples.
So with Ken as Chair and other solid community people also on the board, this is indeed a welcome Christmas present. But this said, The Seventh Day Adventist Church is still being underhanded, and in the interests of honesty and transparency, there are still some nagging questions that should be addressed.
The church has been less than forthright through this whole sorry chapter in Greener Village's history, so anyone who shares my cynicism will appreciate that with these guys, you can't take anything for granted. For example, up to a dozen people were promised they would be told when the church board that runs Greener Village would be holding their Annual General Meeting, so they could attend and ask questions. But not so. Despite that promise, the church snuck in the meeting last week, with the only notice of it at the church itself. Not cool.
So given it has repeatedly proven it is not to be trusted, here are some key questions the church needs to address.
1. The news release announcing the new community-focused Greener Village Board of Directors is one thing, but there is no mention of whether this new board has full autonomy or whether there is still a corporate board controlled by the church that would have final say on decisions affecting Greener Village. Is there still a corporate board, and if so, who are the members?
2. Where's the new bylaw and why isn't it public? I can't think of one other not-for-profit organization that refuses to make its bylaws public. There is no excuse for keeping this secret?
3. What is the process for hiring a new Executive Director. What is the timeline? Will it be an open process and will the church have any say on the Board's choice?
4. What process will be put in place to arrive at a first contract for the employees, so what happened to Jim Smith doesn't happen to anyone else?
5. Will the clothing boutique be open on Saturdays? This sounds like a frivolous matter, but in the absence of straight answers from the church, it would somewhat address the speculation that Elizabeth was let go because she opened it on Saturday, contrary to Seventh Day Adventist dogma. It would also send a signal of who's now in charge – the new board or still the church.
6. Firing Elizabeth was an incredible betrayal of her by the church and an absolute show of a lack of respect for everything she has done. It was made worse by the church's failure to address any reasons, in fact saying it was a human resources issue, leaving to speculation that she had done something wrong. If the church is now truly stepping back from Greener Village, will it finally issue an apology to the person it so wronged, not only because it is the right thing to do, but also to bring closure to this whole mess it has made of things?
Make no mistake, the naming of a community-based board is a very good thing. It's the start of returning Greener Village's reputation to what it was before the church intervened. But what's needed now are answers to these basic questions, so those directly involved in the facility as well as the greater Fredericton community can be assured the church won't intervene again the next time something doesn't strike their fancy.

It might sound like a bizarre oversight, but there isn't nearly enough Pablo Escobar in Andrea Di Stefano's new film, Escobar: Paradise Lost. Instead, the story of the Colombian drug kingpin's early-'90s downfall is told from the perspective of a Canadian surf bum (Josh Hutcherson) who travels to South America and falls in love with the narcotrafficker's niece (Claudia Traisac), only to be sucked into her uncle's violent web. The approach is both misguided and mystifying. We've all seen movies about famous—and infamous—figures told from the fringe perspectives of Rosencrantz-and-Guildenstern-type characters. But the biggest problem here is that Benicio Del Toro is so hypnotic and quietly compelling as Escobar, you want him to be in every scene, rather than AWOL for large chunks of the film. Hutcherson is fine (if a bit bland) as the naive gringo blind to Escobar's blood-spilling reign of terror because he's in love. But the actor just doesn't possess the charisma to tide the audience over while they wait for Del Toro's next subtle power play. With his sleepy, hooded eyes, shaggy beard, and bulging potbelly, Del Toro plays Escobar like a gone-to-seed psycho in gym shorts. He's evil, to be sure. There's a pile of his rivals' corpses to prove that much. But he's also a fascinatingly spooky contradiction. We see him basking in the proud glow of his extended family, crooning to his beloved wife, and desperately praying to God over the phone with his mother as the government's noose tightens around him. One minute he might be dedicating a clinic to the poor like Robin Hood, and the next he's quietly threatening his henchmen, trying to sniff out a potential Judas. Del Toro, even with his slow-pulse portrayal (delivered largely in Spanish), shows us all of Escobar's varied sides and delicate shadings. It's a terrific performance. It's just a shame that his director thought it should be a supporting one. C

Oct 27 - TED & Alexander Hamiton
We had the privilege of using a live pass for the TED Women conference that took place this week, so we took advantage of our access and watched a few talks (live!) the throughout the day.
It is so fun to see kids react to TED talks. They range from fascination, to boredom, to confusion, to amusement.
In the afternoon between TED talks, we previewed material for a study of Alexander Hamilton by exploring our prior knowledge about him and his accomplishments. We finished the day by watching the live performance of the opening song of the Hamilton musical at the White House.
Ben was inspired to share the TEDx talk he helped write in our class last year!

Interacting with real objects in virtual reality. Sport and Health Sciences PhD (Self funded) Ref: 3212
About the Research Project
Lead supervisor: Dr Gavin Buckingham, Department of Sport and Health Sciences, College of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Exeter
Secondary supervisor: Dr Sam Vine, Department of Sport and Health Sciences, College of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Exeter
Location: University of Exeter, St Luke's Campus, Heavitree Road, Exeter EX1 2LU
Project description:
Virtual reality (VR) describes the use of computer technology to deliver the impression that a user is located in a different environment. This technology offers huge potential research benefits. For example, research paradigms can be developed, untethered from these constraints of the physical environment, with full control over participants' visual, auditory, and haptic sensory input. The doctoral student will undertake a series of research studies aimed at examining how the fundamental underpinnings of skilled movement, such as perception, motor prediction, and sensorimotor learning in the context of object interaction, is influenced (1) by this transition to virtual environments, (2) when visual and haptic feedback are placed in opposition with one another across the lifespan and (3) in the context of dextrous sporting skills. A secondary goal of this PhD will be to develop an open source and general purpose VR interface, in order to develop a resource that can help as many researchers, as be as valuable to as wide a range of disciplines, as possible.
This project would suit a candidate with a psychology, engineering, or computer science background and an interest in virtual reality and human perception.

It was all there for the Denver Nuggets. They'd welcomed back injured star forward Paul Millsap after more than three months on the shelf with a torn ligament in his wrist, watched as Millsap and Mason Plumlee turned in dynamic performances off the bench, and ridden the attacking of wings Will Barton, Gary Harris and Wilson Chandler to a commanding 19-point lead over the visiting Los Angeles Clippers with just over four minutes to go in the third quarter on Tuesday night. Just lock in for the final 16 minutes at home, and you're cruising to a win that helps you keep pace in the chaotic tangle that is Everything Below Houston and Golden State in the Western Conference Playoff Race.
With 4:06 remaining in the third quarter and the Nuggets leading 82-63, Doc Rivers sent in the subs. Out came DeAndre Jordan, Austin Rivers and Sam Dekker; in went Montrezl Harrell, Tyrone Wallace and Boban Marjanovic, the 7-foot-3 Serbian center who has briefly sparked rapt interest among NBA fans during his three stateside seasons. Despite routinely producing at pretty remarkable levels every time he touches the floor, the 29-year-old giant has largely been relegated to the bench in San Antonio, Detroit and L.A., only rarely getting the call to run (likely due to concerns about how the mammoth pivot would hold up on the defensive end in larger minutes).
Well, he got the call on Tuesday, and he answered it, completely overpowering Denver's big men in the paint and on the glass. His towering frame and soft finishing touch around the basket, combined with Harrell's relentless energy and the playmaking craft of Lou Williams and Milos Teodosic, helped the Clippers chip away at the Nuggets' lead until, just two minutes into the fourth quarter, it didn't exist anymore. (That Mike Malone had burned through all but one of his timeouts earlier in the game, leaving him unable to call one to stop the bleeding, certainly didn't help Denver's cause much, either.)
Between Doc's line change at the 4:06 mark of the third and the eight-minute mark of the fourth, the Clippers absolutely blitzed their hosts, outscoring Denver 48-26 in just over eight minutes of basketball to completely take over the game.
The reeling Nuggets made a last-gasp push down the stretch, fueled by 21 points by the backcourt of Murray and Harris. But a struggling defense that has been the second-worst in the NBA over the last 15 games just could not find an answer for Boban, Williams and Teodosic in the high screen-and-roll, as the Clips kept getting whatever they wanted just about every trip down the court. Denver's last chance at an equalizer or winner fizzled when Murray lost the handle on his closing-seconds drive, allowing L.A. to come away with a massive come-from-behind 122-120 win that left the Nuggets and the Pepsi Center crowd stunned, and shifted the bottom of the Western bracket.
After playing a total of one minute in his eight games as a Clipper after coming over in the Blake Griffin trade, Marjanovic played 15 of Tuesday's final 16 minutes and dominated them. He scored 18 points on 5-for-8 shooting from the field and an 8-for-9 mark from the free-throw line, grabbed six rebounds (five on the offensive glass to keep possessions alive), snagged two steals, blocked a shot and dished an assist. L.A. outscored Denver by 27 points in his 15 minutes of playing time. He completely changed the game, and he felt good about that.

Jamie Carragher Suspended by Sky Sports After Spitting at 14-Year-Old GirlMarch 12, 2018
Sky Sports have suspended pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher after he was filmed spitting at a fan and his 14-year-old daughter after the Reds' defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.
According to the Mirror's Alex Smith, Carragher—who was due to appear on Monday Night Football—held talks with Sky bosses regarding his future on Monday morning. He was already scheduled to take a two-week break from his duties as a pundit before the incident.
In a statement, the broadcaster said: "Sky takes this matter extremely seriously and strongly condemns Jamie's actions, we have made that clear to him in person today and suspended him from his duties. It falls well below the standards we expect of our people."
Sky News shared the video of the incident:

Carragher also appeared on Sky News to apologise and discussed his future:

"I'd like to apologise" says Jamie Carragher after being filmed spitting at a fan's car https://t.co/jM6AVIIusK
"I haven't offered my resignation. I'm just talking to people at Sky, and going forward they've made it be known that they're very disappointed," the 40-year-old added, via Smith. "I've brought shame on Sky."
Fellow pundit Gary Neville gave his take on the situation, and believes Carragher should be allowed to continue working alongside him:
Gary Neville @GNev2
I've just watched Carra23 say sorry. No excuses he's made a big mistake . He's massively passionate about football and he's overstepped the mark and shouldn't have reacted . I've been on TV for 3 years with him and imo this isolated incident shouldn't stop us working together
The Mirror's John Cross felt the same:
John Cross @johncrossmirror
Carragher and Sky really fronting up on this one. You can feel his contrition. Personally, I hope he gets another chance. https://t.co/3Pc6FIqhui
The former Liverpool man was also due to work for TV3 Sport on Tuesday, offering his analysis as part of their coverage of Manchester United's UEFA Champions League match with Sevilla, but he has been dropped by the Danish TV station.
Carragher had witnessed his old club lose 2-1 to United, putting the Red Devils second and five points clear of Liverpool in the Premier League with eight matches remaining.
