All Christians seek to live their lives according to Jesus Christ's teachings. He calls us to be God-like, to exercise righteousness, and live a life that pleases Him. If we are honest with ourselves, we can admit we stray from this goal on a daily (if not hourly) basis. We drift away, we fall short, and we cave to the temptation of sin. To combat this sickness of the soul, Christ instituted the Mystery of Confession (sometimes called Penance). In this post, we explain what the sacrament of Confession is, why we need it, and how often Orthodox Christians should go.
What is sin?
Before we dive into the sacrament of Confession, we need to understand what sin means according to Orthodox theology. Unlike Western Catholicism's legalistic approach, the Orthodox Church views sin more simply, as anything "missing the mark" or "going off course" (Hebrew: chata; Greek: hamartia, both of which also translate as "to sin"). In short, anything that falls short of the life God wants us to live would be considered a sin.
What is Confession?
Simply put, Confession is a Sacrament, or "Mystery," of the Church, a way in which we can experience God in His fullness while still here on earth. When we sin, we damage our relationship with God and with the members of His Body, the Church. Sin ultimately alienates us from God, from our fellow human beings, and from our own true selves. During Confession, the Orthodox acknowledge our sins out loud to God in the presence of the priest.
When we confess our sins, our relationship with God and with others is restored and strengthened. Through this Sacrament, Christ continues to heal those broken in spirit and restore the Father's love to the lost.
Why do we need to confess to a priest?
One clarification: we do not confess to the priest; we confess to God in the presence of the priest. When we are sick, what do we do? We go to the doctor. We tell the doctor what is wrong with us, and the doctor gives us a treatment plan to help us heal. Often when we are sick, we try to heal ourselves. And we fail miserably, making things worse ninety percent of the time.
Through the Grace of God, the priest became a spiritual doctor when he was ordained. He is well-versed in the sicknesses of the soul that sin can cause. We look to him to guide us, to diagnose our sickness and help us to live a more godly life. He draws on the knowledge of the Orthodox Church and the Holy Fathers to provide you with a "treatment" for your sins, so you can walk away from Confession free from your guilt, absolved of the evils you have done. And then, you can strive all the more to live the life God wants you to live.
Why do we need to repent at all?
- Confession reconciles us with the Body of Christ.
When we sin, we distance ourselves from others emotionally, spiritually, and sometimes physically. After we confess to God, He wipes those sins away and allows us to draw closer to the family we have in Christ, the Church.
- Confession is cathartic.
Sometimes, when we need to get something off our chests, we go to a trusted friend, a parent, or a sibling. And after we say everything out loud to that person, suddenly we feel better about whatever it was that troubled us. Orthodox Confession works in the same way. After admitting our sins to the priest, we experience that relief that comes from "getting it off our chest."
- Confession provides us with a diagnosis.
How can we know we are sick, unless we go to a doctor regularly to ensure that we aren't? Frequent confession allows us to cleanse our souls of the evils we commit. The longer we stay away from the doctor, the higher our chances of becoming ill.
How often should an Orthodox Christian go to Confession?
Unfortunately, there is no cut and dry answer to this question. Most Orthodox choose to go to Confession during the four fasting periods, as these are customary times when we focus on spiritual renewal, almsgiving, and repentance. The frequency of Confession is often left to the discretion of the individual and his/her spiritual father. Typically, if you only receive Communion a few times a year or committed a grave sin (murder, adultery, etc.), Confession before receiving Communion becomes necessary for spiritual growth. However, as most Orthodox partake of the Eucharist on a weekly basis, you may not need to attend formal Confession before a priest as often.
As Orthodox Christians, we must always examine ourselves. We should partake in the Life of the Church as frequently as possible, as it is our way of communing with God in this fallen world. When Orthodox faithful confess our sins, we receive forgiveness from God Himself through the Mystery of Confession. We receive His mercy and His love, and we receive yet another chance to become the person God wants us to be.

In this AWS tutorial for cloud developers, I want to show how to create scheduled AWS Lambda function to run periodically.
Using Amazon CloudWatch Rules it is easy to trigger an AWS Lambda function. I will create a basic serverless Lambda function and schedule it using CloudWatch rules to execute the function periodically.
When you logged on to your account at AWS Management Console, launch AWS Management Console.
On Functions list page, press "Create function" to create a new Lambda function.
For simplicity of the AWS Lambda function, I will continue to create serverless function from scratch.
In basic information section, I entered following details.
Then press "Create function" button which is at the bottom of the page
On Configuration tab, in "Function code" section, replace the existing Python 3.7 code with following in the inline code editor.
import json
import datetime
def lambda_handler(event, context):
currentDT = datetime.datetime.now()
return {
'statusCode': 200,
'body': json.dumps(str(currentDT))
Click "Save" button at to top right corner of the screen.
Then we are ready to test our sample AWS Lambda function.
Press "Test" button.
Type a descriptive test name. Since for this tutorial, we don't expect any incoming message or event, clear content in the textbox.
Press Create to save our test event for the sample AWS Lambda function
Press Test button once more. The Lambda function will be called with the test event we have save right now. You should be able to see a successfull execution result similar to following output.
Now we are ready to schedule the execution of this AWS serverless Lambda function using Amazon CloudWatch service.
From Services on AWS Management Console, launch Amazon CloudWatch service dashboard.
Let's create a new rule. Start by pressing "Create rule" button.
Instead of default selected option "Event Pattern", choose option "Schedule"
As you can see in following screenshot, you can write your own Cron expression or as I did below I scheduled event source to trigger every minute.
In Targets section, press "Add target" button.
From the dopdownlist, choose Lambda Function then choose your AWS function we have created in previous step.
Press "Configure details"
Press Create rule
Since the rule is enabled by default, our AWS Lambda function will be triggered each minute.
To summarize, cloud developers using AWS as their cloud platform can trigger an AWS Lambda function periodically using CloudWatch events.
It is possible to monitor serverless function execution using Monitoring tab displayed at related AWS Lambda function details page.
We can monitor the scheduled execution using CloudWatch log groups for scheduled lambda function.
It is easy to jump from AWS Lambda function monitoring page to CloudWatch logs by using the "View logs in CloudWatch" button.
You see the AWS Lambda function is triggered and executed every minute periodically.
If you have "print()" commands in your AWS Lambda function Python code, these messages will be displayed in CloudWatch logs.
If you preferred to build your Lambda function code using Node.js instead of Python then you can use console.log() statement to write to Amazon CloudWatch logs.
I tried to demonstrate how cloud developers can create scheduled AWS lambda functions or create a schedule for AWS serverless Lambda functions to trigger them periodically using Amazon CloudWatch event rules.

The Ancient inhabitants of Lebanon, the Phoenicians, were known for their trade and commerce and the modern Lebanese continue to be very astute in business.
Despite the country being ravished by wars in the last few decades, the Lebanese have rebuilt and recreated their economy. They take both an optimistic and creative way to doing things and the results are impressive. The rebuilt business district in downtown Beirut is a good example of this. Yet, they have scheduled power and water outages daily, no public transportation system and internet speeds typically in the under 1 MB/sec range for most businesses and consumers.
However, the Lebanese have adapted to all these constraints. Every major building has a generator that kicks in when the power goes out, private water trucking companies refill water tanks when water is out and taxis and private mini-buses fill the public transportation needs.
As for the internet speeds, Lebanese businesses and people have worked within the speed constraints and tend to use on-premise or on-device software and build their applications so as not be too reliant on transmission speeds.
Dashboard Awards Winner
At the IBIS event last June, a Lebanese company, Bankdata, won one of the coveted best dashboard awards with a remarkably visual and powerful business dashboard for the Lebanese banking industry. The dashboard was designed to look at the major statistics for Small and Medium Enterprises in Lebanon and compare them by a variety of metrics like Line of Business, revenues, employees, demographics and many more. This provides invaluable information to the many banks in Lebanon looking to attract and do business with these companies. Previously this information was buried away in a large annually published book filled with data that the banks subscribed to. Now this information has been literally brought to life through a truly amazing interactive dashboard that is now updated quarterly and soon to be monthly.
Going Offline
With the number of metrics shown, I was convinced this was a connected dashboard but on a recent visit to Lebanon to hand deliver the award, I was stunned to find that it was actually an offline dashboard and that all the data was embedded in the dashboard itself. The person who created this dashboard applied incredible ingenuity to include so many metrics and data in a visually compelling interface with super-fast response times. Of course, given the infrastructure constraints in Lebanon, it makes perfect sense to deliver this dashboard as an offline solution.
This was a great lesson for me too about doing more with less and fitting the BI solution to both satisfy the business need and work effectively with the resources and infrastructure available.
By the way, the Lebanese also apply this doing more with less to their driving. They can turn a car on a dime and park in a space with less than an inch to spare all round. They also follow the rule that the first one who looks, loses which made for an interesting and scary experience for this first time visitor.

JOBS: Fortune 500 companies do not hire top graduates to dictate what to do
Having worked for the biggest oil company in Canada and one of the fortune 50 in Canada, I cannot emphasise enough how leadership of a company affects the bottom line (Profit).
List of largest public companies in Canada by profit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_public_companies_in_Canada_by_profit
Then having worked for one of the global Fortune 500 companies, I cannot emphasise enough how employee development is crucial. CONTINUOUS LEARNING.
Fortune 500 https://fortune.com/fortune500/2019/search/ by capitalization,
We are talking about companies that only hire the cream of la creme from only the top universities in the world. Some shithole universities are also considered though because these companies only look for top marks, past community work, any part time job you held while in school, personality and IMPECCABLE communication skills (Read English for Uganda).
What I found out is that they do not expect much from you after you go through the screening and interview and you get hired. They only expect you to be a quick learner. How do you learn? By READING daily. And then they will expect you to write things like Project Plans, Business Plans, Budget things. They do not hire you to just sit in a corner office with a window to collect your 6 figure salary (in dollars), they expect you to be one of the next leaders of the corporation.
These companies will send you for all the training you need in the world to keep you if you show interest in your job and my gosh, some of us love our work so much that training is actually an extra chore. While you are away for training for something like 30 to 50 days a year, no one is gonna do your job. You learn to multitask.
Such companies hardly have micro managers breathing down your neck unlike some others. I think Steve Jobs put it best. "We hire the best people so that they can tell us what to do".
The minute you suffocate ideas, you are doomed.
Micromanagers are detrimental to morale and organisation bottom line
[Micromanaging is very bad. In fact, very detrimental to an organisation and in my opinion such managers need to be weeded out. I have written some articles about this topic in the past for #Uganda and most can be found on my blog. Micromanaging is the rule of the day in Uganda. Oh we have so much work to do since it starts right from dictator #Museveni micromanaging everyone like they have no brains or something worse. It is like he has everyone on speed dial.]
Micromanaging diminishes your self-worth. When someone is micromanaging you it spells to you that:-
They don't trust you
They are probably putting you down, and attempting to lower your self-esteem, and boost theirs instead.
As by their actions of micromanaging and showing their lack of trust, it generates fear in you because you're thinking goes to imagining that you are going to get the sack, be transferred or given less hours; you freeze and go into protection mode.
Because of the actions of your boss and being frozen with fear, your cognitive abilities go out the window, you make silly errors you wouldn't normally do, and the boss calmy and smugly congratulates himself – as this is his proof that you needed micromanaging. It also increases his busyness and looking important to his seniors.
Avoid micromanaging at all costs.
There is something basically wrong in the organisation if there are insufficient systems to protect the company without the need of micromanaging.
Micromanaging is a brilliant way to destroy a great culture in an incredibly short space of time.
Micromanaging destroys trust! Trust can take years to build and 30 seconds to destroy.
It also destroys discretionary effort and turns the team into little zombies who are afraid of everything.
So where do these micromanagers come from? Usually the temptation is to employ people like yourself. If one of the directors who is in charge of hiring is a micromanager watch out!
Of course we get influenced by the media and the dear old governments around the world. The media and governments love to spread fear, and want us all to live in little micromanaged bubbles.
The cartoon of Leunig's above captures it well.
So is there ever a time for micromanaging? Sure. When someone is learning they need to be micromanaged until they have learnt the process, system or procedure. But how you do that has to be on a curve that leads them to self-empowerment.
You also need to micromanage when there is the suspicion of gross misconduct such as suspected fraud or other serious issues going on.
So why do some bosses persistently micromanage? Often it is because they are filled with fear themselves. Full of what if's.
They are also worried and fearful about what others think. What other people think of course is none of your business!
Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher wrote, 'Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.'
The Micromanager is not happy. Impossible to be happy, as they are racked by fear. They are spreading fear. The best place for them is away from people and dealing with figures which have to be deadly accurate. Then when they have micromanaged their way through these figures, tell them that they are a 100% correct, and if you are lucky you may get a smile and they will definitely tell you that they knew that.
Would you like some help with dealing with micromanaging issues?
I fix that, along with a lot of other things in businesses around the world.

Private labelled products allow e-commerce firms to earn much larger margins compared to the commissions earned through sellers that sell similar products.
Bangalore based e-commerce firm Flipkart is going big on its private label called Smart Buy.
The company has launched 25 categories ranging from electronics accessories to personal care and home decor under its umbrella brand 'Smart Buy' and plans to extend it to at least 10 more segments in the next four months, a senior company executive told Moneycontrol.
The online marketplace also plans to launch two more new brands for consumer goods and furniture segments respectively.
"Our plans for the next four months under the umbrella brand of Smart Buy itself...is to launch a very big range of home products and also some other important categories (including things like) selfie sticks, mouse, keyboard etc," said Adarsh Menon, head of private label business at Flipkart said in an interaction with Moneycontrol.
The company is targeting to achieve 10 percent of its total orders from its private labels by March 2018, said Menon.
"All in all if we look at the umbrella brand of Flipkart's Smart Buy the end of August, the brand would be present across 35 categories," he added.
According to Menon, the extension into consumer goods and furniture range will happen through the launch of two more separate brands beginning the next couple of months. He however did not disclose the names of the brands.
At a time when Flipkart is going vocal about its plans, rival Amazon too is also aggressively tying up with contract manufacturers to expand its private label offerings, albeit discreetly.
According to people privy to the development, the US-headquartered firm has been in talks with original equipment makers (OEMs) to manufacture consumer durable products.
Amazon already has a wide presence in the apparel segment under its private label brands. It also has been selling electronic products such as headphones and charging cables under its private label brand Amazon Basics.
The recent development however will be for bigger products such as irons, mixer grinders and hair straighteners among other things.
It wasn't immediately clear if Amazon would look at launching these products under a new brand category.
An Amazon spokesperson declined to divulge any details citing that the company doesn't comment on what it may or may not do in future.
Online sellers unhappy with Amazon, Flipkart's strategy
Private labels allow e-commerce firms to earn much larger margins as compared to the commissions earned by the sellers that sell through their platforms.
Amazon's practice however has been widely criticized globally. It has been claimed that the selling of private label brands by Amazon affects the business of third party sellers on its platform and is mostly a conflict of interest.
Globally Amazon sells tons of private label products ranging from food to diapers.Must Watch: How Online Shopping Works
Sellers associated with All India Online Vendors Association (AIOVA) are calling this a predatory practice.
"Marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart are exploiting sellers sales and product information and sharing this with sister companies and their own private labels which is resulting in financial benefit to such parties," a spokesperson of AIOVA told Moneycontrol.
"Ad properties and user targeting which is normally charged exorbitantly to sellers is doled out free to these parties, leading to unnatural reduction in cost of selling," AIOVA said in a statement.
However Menon of Flipkart differs from AIOVA.
"Ultimately the concern is that the consumer should be happy with the product," said Menon adding that the positioning of Flipkart's private label products substitutes the unbranded or 'average level' products.
"If somebody is there who has to worry about private labels, it is the people who are selling average or poor quality products online," he email@example.com

This page provides answers to frequently asked questions about graduate applications.
Graduates seeking to work as health practitioners in Australia must be registered before joining the workforce and practising in the profession. Students who are about to complete an approved program of study can apply for registration before completing their course.
All students in regulated health professions who have completed or will be completing an approved program of study within three months and who are expecting to join the Australian health practitioner workforce when they graduate or soon after, can apply for registration.
Note: The name on your application for registration must match the student name on the graduate results provided to us by your education provider. If your name has changed after enrolling in an approved program of study, you must contact the education provider to update your details.
Online applications are open to students completing an approved program of study mid-year or at the end of the year and who are applying for registration in one of the following professions:
To apply online go to Graduate applications.
Note: You will need a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card to apply online.
You can apply online up to six months after completing your course. If you completed your course over six months ago, please find your profession on the profession-specific forms table and click through to see the Forms page of your profession's National Board website.
No. Whether you apply online or via hardcopy you must complete your application for registration yourself and not have someone else complete it for you. This is because you give consent for Ahpra to conduct a criminal history check. You also declare that the supplied information is true and correct.
Prior to your application being finalised, please complete the Request for change of personal details – CHPD-00 form, which can be found under Common forms. Please do this as soon as possible.
Once your application is finalised you can update your address via your online services account.
As you are already registered in a profession, you may be able to apply for registration using your online services account.
This includes:
Creating an Ahpra account is important as it allows you to save and resume your application.
As we will be sending you sensitive information relating to your application and your registration, you must ensure the email address you use is personal and secure.
When providing us with a unique email address:
If you do not have an email address that meets these criteria, consider creating a new email account.
All uploaded documents must:
You can start your application again at any time before payment is processed. Once payment has been processed, your application has been completed and submitted to us.
You will receive an automated confirmation via email when you submit your application.
You can track the progress of your application from your online services account.
After receiving your application and all required supporting documentation, we will:
Once we have finished assessing your application, we will either register you, register you with conditions or refuse your application.
We will let you know the outcome and if registered, we will publish your name on the national register of health practitioners. We will also send you an email confirming that you are registered.
Once your name is on the national register of practitioners, you can start work as a registered health practitioner!
*Note: Your application will be significantly delayed if you do not declare your criminal history in your application and a criminal history is found during the assessment process.
You do not need to do anything to provide these results your education provider sends them directly to us. You are not required to check if your results have been received. We will be in contact with you when assessment of your application is finalised.
During the peak application period between November and January, we receive graduate results from over 500 Australian education providers for over 25,000 students.
At the end of the academic year, we receive about 25,000 applications for registration. Our graduate team is ready to start assessing these applications in October. Once a regulatory officer has started assessing your application, they will be in contact with you if further information is required. However, it's important to remember that we cannot complete assessment of your application until we have received confirmation from your education provider that you are eligible to graduate. You do not need to do anything to provide these results to us as they are provided directly to us by your education provider.
Generally, it takes 14 days to assess your application once we have received all the required information – what we call a 'complete application'.
It may take longer to assess your application if:
If we require further information for your application, we will contact you.
If you have a confirmed job start date with an employer that provides clinical services to the public eg. a public hospital and you are waiting on your registration, talk to your employer first and your employer can escalate your query via their Ahpra direct contact.
It's important to note:
Before we can register you, we first need to make sure you are suitably trained and qualified and meet the professional standards for registration in your profession. For this we need your graduate results which we receive direct from your education provider. We also need any other documents required by your National Board to prove that you've met the registration standards for your profession (see below). The questions that you need to answer in your application form relate to these requirements.
If you have applied online, the form will prompt you to upload scanned copies of your correctly certified supporting documents to complete your application. Please read these instructions carefully and make sure the information you provide is complete before the documents are uploaded. Incomplete applications are the main reason for delayed assessment.
You may need to provide certified copies of supporting documents to meet the registration requirements of your profession's National Board. Please see the Supporting documentation for graduate applications page for further information.
If you have graduated and you have been issued your academic transcript and certificate, please upload a copy with your application (or a certified copy if providing a hardcopy application).
If you have not yet graduated and do not yet have your certificate, you do not need to send it in later. After you have successfully completed your course, your education provider will send your graduate results directly to us. Providing you have met all other registration requirements, we will then finalise your application.
Each National Board has registration standards that aim to ensure that every registered health practitioner has the qualifications and skills to provide safe care to the Australian community. As part of your application you will be asked questions about how you meet the registration standards set by the National Board for your profession. They are published on each Board's website, accessible via the Registration Standards page. For new graduates they are:
You will be asked to pay both an application fee and a registration fee when you apply for registration. These fees will be automatically calculated based on your profession when you fill out the online application form. For further information please see the schedule of fees on your National Board's website.
If you apply for registration but do not successfully graduate or choose to withdraw your application after it has been assessed, we will refund your registration fee only. The application fee is non-refundable, as this is required to assess your application.
Ahpra and National Boards recognise that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected people in several ways, including financial hardship.
Financial hardship in the context of the National Scheme means that because of family tragedy, financial misfortune, unemployment, serious illness, impacts of a natural disaster, national health emergency and other serious or difficult circumstances a practitioner is unable to reasonably provide necessities such as food, accommodation, clothing, education and/or medical treatment for themselves, their family or other dependents, and by extension, the costs associated with their registration.
The COVID-19 pandemic is considered a national health emergency for the purpose of this definition.
The pandemic may mean that some recent graduates may be experiencing financial hardship because of loss of casual or part-time employment in industries impacted disproportionately by the pandemic. There may also be changes in financial circumstances in the graduate's immediate household.
If you are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to pay the required fees, please contact our customer service team via web enquiry or on 1300 419 495 to discuss your individual situation before you complete your online graduate application. You can start your application online and pause it if you need to contact us about financial hardship.
An approved program of study is a course that qualifies a graduate for registration as a health practitioner. Programs of study are approved by your profession's National Board. Please see Approved programs of study for a list of approved courses.

Governor S.D.
To John Miller Governor Bismarck N. Dak Nov 25th 1890
Dear Sir
The citizens of Lakota in meeting assembled last evening, instructed me to correspond with you, to ascertain whether it would be possible for you to procure for them about 50 stand of arms & ammunition. A volunteer organization was perfected at said meeting some 40 names being enrolled to protect families and homes in case of emergency. The cause of this action is on account of the many rumors of discontent, and the fear of an uprising of the Indians at Fort Totten, and the fact that the troops have been taken from there and sent south, leaving but 8 or 10 men to look after over 400 Indian braves. This has been an uneasy feeling which has been intensified by a small band of Indians arriving and camping near the town at midnight on the 23rd inst. A number of families have left out county and others expect to leave soon. If the troops were returned to the Fort a better feeling would prevail. Please inform us as soon as possible if our request can be complied with. I am on my way to Fort Totten to ascertain what state of affairs exists at the present time. If anything startling appears will let you know.
Yours very Respectfully

To John Miller Governor Bismarck N. Dak Nov 75th 1890
Dear Sir
Have just received yours of the 26th inst. I am glad to hear the people are feeling more secure in your vicinity. Our people would feel the same if there was a company of troops stationed at Fort Totten. I found everything apparently all right – no excitement among the Indians appearing on the surface. But every man I talked with (save one) civilian or official, thought it absolutely necessary that a company of soldiers should be stationed at the Fort at once. The exceptional man being connected with the Indians by marriage didn't fear any trouble. There are over 400 males on the Reservation who could take part in an uprising if so disposed. The agent has but 5 white employees to depend on and 11 Indian police that he thinks there are not over 25 Winchesters among the Indians, but plenty of shotguns. He don't think there will be any trouble unless other Indians come among them and excite them and he is watching very close. He issues Rations in a day or two but has only half rations for them and hardly any clothing. The appropriation being too small. The Indians wanted to have a ghost dance last week, but the agent forbid them, they attempted to, and the Indian police stopped them, which made them angry. The Chiefs have said that they would hold a council this week, demand permission to dance next Saturday and if refused they would dance anyway. Major Waugh's public opinion is that everything is all right, but his private opinion is that if troops were at the Fort and if there were arms at important points they would feel more satisfied. I believe troops should be sent here and that arms should be sent at once. Yours Respectfully

To: Gov'r Miller
Your telegram received up to the present time. The only depredations reported here have been those of disaffected Indians against the loyal portion namely those that were not disposed to join the hostile element. Every effort is being made to disintegrate the hostile element & reduce their number & influence as much as possible. Every day that an outbreak can be prevented lessens the danger in the future & so far the officers have been reasonably successful. It may however be impossible to restrain the turbulent element & should an outbreak occur it would be impossible to guard every home & citizen scattered over that vast extent of country & much harm would be done in a short time. Everything possible would be done by the troops to give protection to the settlers in addition to the serious work of fighting & pursuing the Indians until they were captured or destroyed. Concerning arms for settlers in remote & unprotected places & in cases where they have no arms of their own it is presumed that the general gov't could furnish a limited amount to the states for such purposes & they issued & controlled by the governors. A large number of troops are being moved into that section of country & every effort is being made to avoid our Indian war or stop it as soon as possible should one occur. There is no occasion thus far for any citizens leaving their homes and should an outbreak occur the officers are directed to notify the citizens as far as possible. In turn I would suggest that the citizens give accurate facts to the military through the telegraph or mail of any movement of Indians in their vicinity but they should be earnestly cautioned against sending alarming reports that are not founded on facts.

Hoping you will pardon me for intruding upon your time, I will take the liberty of writing to you.
Several of the settlers around South Heart are very much frightened concerning the Indians and especially Mrs. J. M. Taft who requested me to write to you to see if there was really any danger, as several reports have come in telling of Indians within sixty or seventy miles from here, and some few persons have left their homes.
I do not see any special cause whatever for alarm, as we have not seen and heard but very little of them. If you would kindly answer Mrs. Taft of this place you would confer a great favor upon her.

Dear Sir
Yours of the 2nd received. In regard to any danger from Indians along the line of the Great Northern R.R. I would say that from information which I have received from persons passing through that section, people who were not excited by blood thirsty newspaper reports, I think and believe that there is no immediate danger whatever – in fact no danger at this time whatever may be the outcome in the spring
If you think my going to Yates(?) and towns west would help to quiet matters let me know and what you
Would want me to say to people for you and I will be ready any day next week.
I am in communication with the Secy of War and Adj General of the Army and am preparing my report which should be in by 2nd Monday in January.
As to Col Bentley looking after orders etc. I would say that I would not presume to issue orders without your knowledge and by your direction and Col Bentley knows that. Or should.
There was no orders issued. By your direction I notified all Commanders of Companies to hold their men well in hand and await orders.
I did not notify Bismarck Co. for they were on the ground and the Col also I suppose if he was not engaged in kicking about the Adjutant General and official notices.

In case the U.S. Government send arms to N.D. they might be sent direct to this place. If bonds are required, can be furnished here.

Dear Sir
In regards to the Indians they have done no bad acts here as yet but they are getting terrible bold. They will go up to any farm house and demand anything they want – and scare the families to Death. Where there happens to be no man about the house of course the people is more scart than hurt. The night the alarm was in town it was after 10 o'clock. They came to my office for me to do something at once. I am well acquainted with a good many of the Indians that was here. They was having a big Dance among them selves. I went to them and had a talk with them. They said they would not hurt anyone they was having their own fun and was not going out of their tepies nor they did not till morning. The come into town & done some trading and went home. The citizens is begging for some Protection and have no Guns here no ammunition. If they should make a break any time this is their Direct road to any other Reservation except Turtle Mountains in case they would be going to assist them. If you would like any more information I should be glad to do all I can

Your telegram of today received. Everything quiet and peaceful. The only dancing is in Sitting Bulls vicinity. Think his followers have decreased somewhat. Large majority of Indians on reservation are undoubtedly loyal to government. Do not believe there will be an outbreak.

Judas kiss: Dealing with betrayal in church
"Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth."
Undisputed Truth – Smiling Faces Sometimes
The Roman soldier who came to capture Jesus could not tell him apart from his disciples. Their cue came from the kiss given by Judas, and in today's Church, there are still many 'Judas kissers' around. They speak words of love and encouragement while secretly they are either plotting your downfall or tearing your character apart.
Many pastors suffer from this two-faced behaviour as opposition is never upfront, but rather an orchestrated one.
It can be discouraging to deal with and can also leave victims bitter and entertaining the thought of giving up, which also sees some believers moving from one denomination to the next.
For answers on dealing with this kind of betrayal,Family and Religion reached out to the Rev Garry Knowles of the Toll Gate Circuit of Baptist Churches.
Knowles said if there were a binding contract to sign before entering ministry, the fine print would include: "The undersigned acknowledges that the pastoral ministry may be hazardous and subject the undersigned to expressions of animosity, including, but not limited to, slander, misrepresentation, and betrayal."
Betrayal, said Knowles, is so profoundly painful that few pastors and congregations can talk about it, yet if they do open up, they can't stop talking about what happened to them, he said.
"Betrayal is an abandonment or violation of trust by someone close to you. A husband betrayed by his wife, an employee passed over for a promotion by an employer who had promised it, a secret between friends brought to light for all to see, a promise made to a child so easily broken by a parent. How do we deal with that inevitable betrayal that will affect us in our everyday lives?" Knowles asked.
For him, the mental anguish caused by Judas, one of Jesus' disciples and closest friends, is an often overlooked aspect of Jesus' suffering. He said He had invested in Judas. He loved Judas. He cared intensely for Judas. He was discouraged. He was hurt. He felt pain. He wept.
Just like humans respond in moments of betrayal. "We often respond to abandonment or betrayal in anger, by dwelling on the circumstances. We often seek to get even or make our betrayers suffer intensely for how they've wronged us. Through Jesus' example, though, we see a proper model of how to handle betrayal," Knowles said.
Although Jesus' internal struggle with Judas' betrayal is not recorded, Knowles said we can assume that it was difficult for him emotionally.
"We know that he instructed Judas to do what he had set his mind to. He didn't stop him or throw a fit. We also know that Jesus responded to Judas graciously. Jesus could never be accused of being a pushover, but he framed his response to Judas' betrayal with kindness and graciousness," he said.
Similarly, said Knowles, if persons have been betrayed by someone close to them – and eventually they will – the first response should be to cry out to Jesus who loves us, pursues us, and intimately understands the reality of that betrayal.
"The mind freezes as it tries to grasp how a friend, someone who knew you deeply, intimately, could turn on you and attack you. Bob Marley brilliantly captures the struggle in one song:'Some will eat and drink with, then behind them su-su pon you; only your friend know your secrets so only he could reveal it,'" pointed out Knowles.
For those who are tempted to flee the Church after being betrayed, Knowles' encouragement is not to give up. He said you are in the same path that other great people walked before and are now remembered as great because they refused to allow betrayal to stop them.
They instead learned how to turn their pain into greater usefulness for the Lord, he said.
"Respond with longevity in mind. The natural reaction we all have is to handle the situation like it must be resolved now! The fact is, we seldom have the power to bring any kind of reconciliation between us and the offended party, especially if they break fellowship and leave the Church. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try, but it often is unrealistic that it will take place anytime soon," he shared, with the instruction not to say anything or do anything you could regret years later.
"For example, someone leaves mad over a situation and the congregation at the next members' meeting wants to know why. As I found myself in this situation and tempted to vent all the hurt, anger, frustration and brokenness I felt at that moment to the congregation, by God's grace, I did not. Make no mistake. I wanted to, but it just didn't seem right. As I look back on that meeting, lashing out at this person, who was not present, would have been sinful and only close the door to any future reconciliation with them years later. So, I remained silent," shared Knowles from his own personal experience.
Knowles said to heed these suggestions in the most painful moments of betrayal, cling to Christ as your comfort, joy, and as the One who will always be with you through them.

Leaving childhood partial deafness untreated has consequences
TORONTO – It's just as important to identify and treat newborns and young children with deafness in one ear, or long term prospects for hearing recovery may be diminished, according to a new research review.
Leaving one-sided deafness untreated leads to reorganization of developing hearing pathways in the brain, and has been tied to poorer language development and educational outcomes, the authors write in Pediatrics.
"Traditionally, asymmetric deafness in childhood, particularly when only one ear is affected, has been overlooked or dismissed as a concern because the children have had some access to sound," said lead author Karen Gordon of Archie's Cochlear Implant Laboratory at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada.
A child with a hearing loss in one ear may have difficulty hearing what her mother is saying when there are other noises in the room or other people speaking at the same time, she said.
Still, parents can be reluctant to treat asymmetrical deafness in young children.
"One of the main issues is lack of information," said Dayse Tavora-Vieira of the University of Western Australia in West Perth, who was not part of the new review. "The implications of unilateral hearing loss/deafness have been historically underestimated by professionals and this has reflected on how they counsel parents."
Also, the children may not show a handicap until educational, social and emotional concerns become clear later in life, she told Reuters Health by email.
In addition to delayed speech and language development, these children are at risk of poor academic performance, usually with poorer vocabulary and simpler sentence structure than their normal-hearing peers, Tavora-Vieira said.
Gordon and her colleagues reviewed research from neuroscience, audiology and clinical settings "that points to the existence of an impairment of the central representation of the poorer hearing ear if developmental asymmetric hearing is left untreated for years," they write.
"We suggest that asymmetric hearing in children be reduced by providing appropriate auditory prostheses in each ear with limited delay," Gordon told Reuters Health. "The type of auditory prosthesis will depend on the degree and type of hearing loss."
Almost two in every 1,000 babies have some form of deafness discovered by early life screening, according to a 2009 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey.
Currently, children with hearing loss can be treated with a cochlear implant, for profound deafness, a hearing aid, a bone anchored hearing aid or a personal listening device like a radio-enabled earbud in the hearing ear. For the last, a speaking source, like a teacher, speaks into a microphone, which transmits sound by FM signal to the earbud.
Costs can vary from less than $1,000 to several thousand dollars, depending on the treatment, Tavora-Vieira said. Cochlear implants are the most expensive and in many countries are still not reimbursed. Bone conduction implants are also expensive and not well accepted by children, she said.
Treatment and therapy should begin as early in life as possible, Tavora-Vieira said.
"The developing auditory system appears to change quickly when one ear is deaf, resulting in an abnormal preference for the hearing ear," she said.
"Appropriate recommendations can be made by otolaryngologists and audiologists," Gordon said.
Parents should be critical of a doctor's interventions, Tavora-Vieira said.
"They should seek second opinion, particularly if the professional makes the diagnoses and offers no rehabilitation options," she said.

Serveurcom selects Metaswitch for business communications
Metaswitch Networks has announced that Serveurcom, an internet service provider (ISP) based in Le Mans, France, has deployed Metaswitch's Business Communications solution to deliver hosted voice and rich unified communications (UC) and collaboration services to its growing customer base.
Serveurcom, initially focused on small-to-medium-sized businesses in France, is planning to expand its offerings across Europe, selling both directly and through third parties to whom it white labels its services.
"After ten years of reselling business voice services, we decided to deploy our own infrastructure in order to provide a superior customer experience. The first thing we were looking for was a robust and reliable solution that would evolve with advances in technology," said Damien Watine, the chief executive of Serveurcom. "While others were offering just pieces of the package, Metaswitch offered the complete solution, from infrastructure to applications, along with the expertise we needed to take it to market quickly and successfully."
Serveurcom chose Metaswitch's Accession Communicator to deliver full-featured UC, collaboration and video conferencing on mobile and desktop; the MetaView Management Suite, for its suite of analytics, network visibility and unrivalled continuous diagnostic capabilities; and the Perimeta Session Border Controllers (SBC). The MetaSphere Multiservice Telephony Application Server (MTAS) is the heart of the platform; deployed geographically redundantly across two sites, it equips Serveurcom to meet the most demanding of business service continuity requirements.
"With superior customer support and a desire to extend the latest technological advancements to their growing customer base, Serveurcom holds the same core values as ours," said Vincent Gaudron, regional sales director at Metaswitch. "With such business synergies, we are pleased to have been selected as a critical part of Serveurcom's plan to expand its footprint across Europe."

A London Underground drivers' union said that it will protest at the premiere of a new British comedy based off of suicides in the city's subway network.
The film, Three and Out, stars Mackenzie Crook (from the British series, The Office) as a London Tube driver who has, within a few days, two people fall onto the tracks and crushed by his train. He later learns from his friends that if one hits three people in a month, the driver is paid off with 10 years of salary. The character then tries to find someone who is willing to jump in front of his train in order to receive his benefits (and to finish writing a novel).
ASLEF, the union representing train drivers, says that train suicides are not to be joked about. Crushing someone who has fallen onto the tracks is "life-changing traumas for drivers who have been involved," as stated by the ASLEF general secretary, Keith Norman. ASLEF will be handing out pamphlets at the premiere in London.
Last year, a reported 249 people died on London Underground tracks, of which 194 were noted as suicides.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday interrogated the Clerk to the National Assembly, (CNNA), Mohammed Ataba Sani- Omolori over issues said to relate to the management of the finances of the institution as well as the inauguration of the ninth National Assembly.
Sources close to his office in the National Assembly said that Omolori was invited to the headquarters of the EFCC on Tuesday (May 14, 2019) and interrogated for six hours beginning from 11 am to 5 pm, while his International Passport was seized.
It was learnt that besides the questions bordering on records of finances of the National Assembly, the Clerk was also asked about the method of election to be adopted in electing presiding officers of the ninth National Assembly.
While a source at the EFCC confirmed the story, the source asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak on the issue.
It was gathered that during the six-hour stay of Omolori with the EFCC, his international passport was seized after interrogation.
Sources also said that other key officials of the National Assembly including the Clerk of the Senate, Clerk of the House of Representatives and their deputies would also be interrogated
Omolori's interrogation is followed that of his predecessor, Salisu Abubakar Maikasuwa, who was equally quizzed.
Omolori himself had appeared in court during the trial of Former Speaker Dimeji Bankole. He was at the time the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

A source in the assembly said that Maikasuwa was quizzed shortly before Omolori got to the EFCC office and that the serving Clerk met his predecessor there.
It was learnt that Omolori was told that the chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, wanted to see him.He was however told on arrival at the office that Magu had left the office and but that he left instructions that another EFCC officer should attend to him.
Omolori's office did not respond to enquiries as at press time on Wednesday as he was said to be busy with some issues

Meet Us
Lorrie Craft, School Director
Hello my name is Lorrie Craft. I have been married to my wonderful husband Mike for 26 years. We have two sons Brad and Austin. I love them so much; we are a very close family. We enjoy movies, riding go-karts, and family game night. I have been at this location since the doors opened in 2004. I have worked with children for over 25 years. I was a Pre-K teacher at our center then in 2008 I was promoted to be the director. It warms my heart to sing and play with our children. I really enjoy watching all of our children meet their milestones. I feel very blessed to be here at Cadence Academy. I want the very best for all of our children. I am always here for you and your family. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your children's lives.
Denise Pugh, Assistant Director
Hello my name is Denise. I have been working in child care since 1998 and I have been here since the doors opened in 2004. I have a daughter named Megan who attended this school from when she was eight weeks until she graduated and absolutely loved it. I worked in the nursery and in our one year old room and I am now the assistant director. I love being with children and teaching them new things, singing songs with them and watching them grow. There is something about a child when they smile it brings a smile to your face. Seeing the children learn to walk or say something new learning to walk or when they can say there ABC's or tying their shoes you feel you have accomplished so much and you know that you had a part in them learning. I am so thankful to be a part of the children's lives and they are such a big part of mine.
Jennie Kreutzer
Hi my name is Mrs. Jennie Kreutzer. I have been married 10 Years to my wonderful husband Darryl. I have two step sons Lee and Jacob. We have a beautiful granddaughter LaDonna. I have been around children all my life. I have been in childcare for 18 years. In 1984 I started working in a three year old classroom and had 12 children in my class. They sure kept me busy! I worked with that age for about 4 years. Then I started working in the office and also helping our in the infant room and loved it. After working at that center for several years they ended up closing the center so I changed my career. I started working at Sears as an office Supervisor and stayed there for 10 years. I really missed working with children, so I decided I wanted to come back to childcare. I started working here in 2008 working in the infant room and absolutely love that age. I love each and every one of them like my own.

A Big Announcement
This February marked two years of living in Midtown Manhattan. Times Square, the Theater District, Lincoln Center, and Hudson Yards have been our actual backyards. It's been a life-changing experience, probably more than we realize! Our journey to the Big Apple actually began four years ago while preparing to lead the Alaska Summer Mission. That's a sharp contrast to reflect upon! This missionary calling is an incredible adventure.
For six months an unexpected change has been developing. Though our energies have been focused on life in the city, God, in his wisdom, was orchestrating something new. It not only involves relocating, but also includes a new vocation for me.
In June we'll be moving our family to La Crosse, Wisconsin. Kirsten will remain with Cru full-time and transfer to the La Crosse Area team. I will be leaving Cru staff to start a media company that provides strategic and creative services for small businesses.
Saying farewell to NYC feels bittersweet. At a recent city-wide prayer gathering it was particularly evident that God is moving here. I witnessed 60 Cru staff stop from their activities to do the work of praying all day. This group is wholehearted in this mission. Nevertheless, Kirsten and I are excited about this transition to a different, familiar lifestyle and new team. For me, after ten years of devoted ministry to college students, it feels surreal to be writing this.
I planned to serve the Lord with Cru my entire career. It's an incredible job and outstanding organization. This community has cared for me well and taught me so much. I'm thrilled to soon stand on the other side of this partnership, as you do, to help send missionaries with the gospel.
Vocation is the main driver for this change. From capturing photos in South Korea and Venezuela (album 1, album 2, album 3, bull fights, men's retreat, national conference) to designing and deploying digital and print materials for ministry and marketing in the Northwest, to balancing operating budgets for staff, students, and Cru properties on mission trips, I have always relished behind-the-scenes work. It receives the most positive feedback as well.
The next reason is that we've found it difficult to reach full financial support in NYC. Cru holds a wise stance on its missionaries being at 100% of their funding. This ensures staff can focus their energies on the field long-term. It also honors the Lord because his workers are worthy of their wages (1 Ti. 5:18). We've hovered around 80% and this has made it challenging for our family to fully engage with the opportunities here.
Here is how you can help: First, pray for rest. We expect a sort of reverse culture shock and imagine "coming down" from urban life will be both relieving and oddly unsettling. Second, Kirsten will continue with Cru full-time, yet this will only be possible with your ongoing financial support. We ask that you maintain your gifts these coming 12 months as you're able.
We would love to talk with you personally about these changes and answer any questions you may have. Please, feel free to reach out by letter, phone, or email. We love hearing from you. Yes, all 516 of our ministry partners!
Of course, our ministry updates will carry on with Kirsten at the helm. Friends, we hold such a deep gratefulness for your partnership. You are helping to bring Jesus to spiritually lost young people every day. Your investment is changing lives for eternity. Thanks be to God!
In Christ,

text: I could agree and disagree with last years trade. It all depends what side of the fence I am on. I am a die hard life long viking fan. My point was we have a team full of PLAYER and potential. Randy Moss was not the team as others would say, the prob was that no body went out and proved it besides Brad Johnson. Wil the New owner live up to what he says and money is not the issue? They all say that when they come in but is it true. Will the new coach make an impact and lay down the law because todays pro athletes need the law and direction. This is a team sport and it starts with the owner and rolls down hill, everyone has a part to play, even the city if minneapolis, the state of Minnesota and all the fans world wide. I am tired of saying next year, 1999 was the year and should have been a start of a dynasty but Nooooo, the wheels gotta come falling off. We the fans have a right to demand a champion, we have stood by year after year just to get jerked around.
