Scott Parker tells all

Scott Parker
At Fulham's Motspur Park training ground, a club executive takes a stroll across the pitches to where an Under 17 match is taking place.
It is that time in the afternoon when the first team players are usually long gone. But the executive is suddenly aware that along the touchline, peering out from underneath the hood of a rain jacket, is a senior member of Martin Jol's squad. Scott Parker is standing alone, watching intently.
Parker's thirst for knowledge is unquenchable. He is staggered to discover that on the same Motspur Park site, the world mile record was once broken.
The old cinder track is now buried beneath perfectly- manicured turf. But on August 28, 1937, the great Sydney Wooderson crossed the line in 4mins 6.4secs. 'Amazing,' says Parker.
Even at 33, in the twilight years of a distinguished career that has seen him captain England and join the pantheon of Footballer of the Year award winners, Parker remains seriously ambitious.
At this moment his main focus is on doing everything in his power to help Fulham climb clear of relegation danger, starting with a hugely important encounter at West Ham today. But there is also a desire to return to the England squad for next summer's World Cup and to one day become a manager.
It is why he takes in youth team games whenever he can and why he is more than simply following the instructions of the new coach recruited to revive a stuttering Fulham team. Rene Meulensteen, once of Manchester United but now Jol's deputy, is someone Parker intends to learn from.
Parker says he can tell a good coach from what he calls 'a bluffer'. 'It's much like when an electrician comes through your front door,' he says. 'You quickly work out if the guy's going to burn down your house.' He chuckles at the analogy but, after 16 years as a professional, he knows that Meulensteen is the real deal, and he says the Dutch combination of Jol and Meulensteen is one that should make all those associated with Fulham feel 'safe'.
'I can only say good things about Rene,' says Parker. 'You only have to look at his track record, who he's worked with. He's very positive with lots of good ideas.
'After a couple of sessions you know if a coach knows what he is doing. Rene has that confidence I like. It's something I've seen in the Dutch before. There's a fine line between arrogance and confidence but these guys have it right. The manager is the same and having them here makes you feel safe.'
Parker is working towards his UEFA A licence with the aim of going on to secure his Pro Licence.
Last summer he spent a fortnight on a coaching course, next summer he will take another week. The experience has given him a better understanding of what it takes to be a successful manager.
'Management isn't just about tactics and what happens on the training ground or in a game,' he says. 'Of course you need those skills. But what you also need is people skills. You need to have a personality, and an ability to build a relationship with your players that means you can control them.
'I saw at Tottenham that Harry Redknapp is a master at that, and the manager here is brilliant, too.
'When you're dealing with 25 men, all with different needs, some with egos, you need to manage that. If you can manage that group you get the best out of them. The manager here is great at delivering his team talks. He can be very funny, too.'
So he fancies management?
'Definitely,' he says. 'When I stop playing I'll want a new challenge. I couldn't just do nothing.
'But I also think I would enjoy managing people.
'Five years ago I might have argued that you shouldn't have to do badges if you've played the amount of games I have.
'Now I realise how much I need to do them, and how much I have to learn.'
Parker is a leader and right now Fulham need all the leaders they can get, sitting in the bottom three and with just three wins all season. They need players who have experience of their current predicament. In a season when Parker was gaining all that personal recognition, West Ham were sliding towards relegation.
'That was strange,' he recalls. 'A bit uncomfortable to be honest. I was playing the best football of my career but I would have traded the awards and the praise for Premier League survival at West Ham.
'I think this is a better situation here... the squad, the manager, the experienced players. I look at myself, the Hangelands, Duffs, Berbatovs and Sidwells. All these have a big part to play. And we have some good young players. We need to step up and get some results.
'My experience at West Ham gives me an understanding of what it takes to get out of this kind of situation. It's still early in the season and there are a lot of teams around us, so we need to stay as positive as we can. But I don't think our season is going to be defined by Liverpool away and Manchester United at home.
'It's the games coming up that are crucial. The Christmas period, too. But I believe that, if you put in the hard work, things will turn and with a new coach coming in and the manager working hard, I see no reason why it can't turn for us.'
His mention of Dimitar Berbatov brings us back to a certain corner against Southampton and the Bulgarian's abject failure to follow Parker's instructions and stop Rickie Lambert from scoring.
'I don't think he didn't listen to me; I just think it was down to a bit of movement,' he says with admirable generosity. But was he not tempted to pin Berbatov against a dressing room wall afterwards? 'I'm not that sort of bloke,' he says.
Nor is he the sort of bloke to sit on the bench. After a difficult, injury-plagued season at Spurs, he felt it was time to move on. 'I came here because I wanted to play football,' he says. 'It's what I've always done.
'I had three years on my contract at Chelsea and could have sat there and had a cushy life. But I wanted to play and went to the other end of the country, to Newcastle, to do it. Looking back now that's probably my one regret.
'If I had stayed for another year, been patient, I might have broken into Jose's (Mourinho) team. But I left for the right reasons.'
After an excellent spell at Spurs under Redknapp, life became more difficult under Andre Villas-Boas. 'I injured my achilles towards the end of the season, in the build-up to the Euros,' he says. 'I thought I was fine to go to the Euros but the problem hadn't cleared up. By the time the Italy game went to extra time I knew I was in trouble. I was probably running on adrenaline during the tournament but, by the end, it had packed up on me.
'That summer I had to have surgery. I went to Sweden but there were complications caused by a lesion on the tendon, which delayed the surgery. Then I rushed back sooner than I should have because there was a new manager coming in. I wanted to hit the ground running.
'Trouble was I was trying to run three weeks after the surgery and, before I knew it, I was out for five or six months. That made it very tough. When I got back I thought I did okay but when Tottenham spent that much money on players in similar positions I knew it would be difficult for me.
'I have no hard feelings towards the manager. But I didn't want to be at Spurs not playing. Not at 33. I wanted to make a contribution somewhere.'
He would still like to make a contribution for England too, even if he recognises that he does not seem to be on Roy Hodgson's radar. His omission from more recent England squads is curious given his apparent importance to England at the last tournament.
When Parker injured his achilles shortly before Euro 2012, it was regarded as something of a national disaster. A few months prior to that Stuart Pearce, in his one match as interim manager a couple of months earlier, had made him captain.
He rather hopes his impressive performances for Fulham catch Hodgson's attention. 'I've often found myself in a position where I have to prove myself again,' he says.
'Fabio Capello took some convincing. Franco Baldini would tell me that he liked me as a player but he would then say Fabio wasn't so sure. The turning point was the Denmark game.
'I realise now, at 33, that it's going to be difficult for me. As a country we do want to see younger players coming through. But, at the same time, there can still be a mix. I think I can bring experience and a certain quality.
'When I played for England I felt I made a big contribution. I helped us qualify for the Euros. I was England player of the year one season. That was great. As was being captain, very special. But I understand how these things work and can't be too disappointed.'
Has Hodgson remained in contact? 'No,' he says. 'To be fair I did get a late call to join the squad for the trip to Brazil in the summer but I was struggling with injury at the time, so I had to say no.
'Roy has a very good squad and, as a manager, he will organise them very well. I saw that at the Euros. In terms of his organisation and the way he sets up his team, I was impressed with him. If I can stay fit, and keep playing well, he knows where I am.'
If not playing a game, he'll probably be watching one.

The bug is this: If an actor (including the player) fires a non-hitscan custom projectile downward while standing on a ledge*, then depending on the ledge and the downward angle, the projectile can impact on the air in front of the actor even though it has a clear trajectory to a distant target. Hitscan projectiles do not do this. Also, non-hitcan projectiles that are hardcoded (SHRINKSPARK, RPG, FIRELASER, FREEZEBLAST) do not do this either.
*this will require some definition
My current preferred hack for working around this ancient bug is as follows. I detect whether the shot would have a zvel of +8000 or more. If it does, then I use a hacked shot: first, I make the actor fire a FREEZEBLAST, and give the projectile the correct zvel for moving toward the intended target. The FREEZEBLAST is immediately rendered invisible in EVENT_EGS. I let the FREEZEBLAST travel for 2 tics. Then, having traveled a safe distance past the point where it would impact on the air, the FREEZEBLAST fires the custom projectile, applying to it the zvel needed to continue on the trajectory and transferring the owner from the original actor. Having served its purpose, the FREEZEBLAST is deleted.
EDIT: below is the definition of a projectile that exhibits this bug. Aside from the VEL_MULT property, it's a fairly generic projectile. And yes, I have seen this bug on projectiles that do not use VEL_MULT

The United States commenced its attempts to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad in 2006, way before the opposition protest in the country in 2011, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said.
"We published cables … showing that the US has been trying to overthrow the Syrian government since at least 2006," Assange told Greek ThePressProject news site on Monday, Sputnik News reported Tuesday.
According to Assange, Washington "was trying to make the Syrian government 'paranoid' trying to get it to 'overreact' by instilling that fear and paranoia, trying to make it worried about coups, trying to stir up sectarian tensions between Sunnis and Shiite …, to stop foreign investment in Syria and by secretly funding a variety of NGOs in Syria.
Besides, the United States made Syria look weak by pushing the fact that it was trying to crack down on terrorists as an example of the Syrian government not having full control of the country, Assange added.
Syria has been in a civil war since 2011, with the government fighting multiple opposition factions and militant groups, including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Since the beginning of the war, the United States and some of its allies have been supporting the so-called "moderate" Syrian opposition, while urging Assad to resign.
Assange also said that the mass exodus of people from Syria could be part of a strategic plan to weaken the local government by depopulating the country.
"We have an interesting speculation about the refugee movement. We looked through our cables and so the speculation was this: occasionally opponents of a country would engage in strategic depopulation, which is to decrease the fighting capacity of a government."
He added that in the case of Syria, those who fled the country were predominantly citizens belonging to the middle class – engineers, managers, bureaucrats – "precisely, the classes that are needed to keep the government functioning."
"Encouraging [them] to flee Syria by Germany saying they will accept many-many refugees, and by Turkey taking nearly three million refugees thus significantly weakens the Syrian government," Assange stressed adding that "regardless of whether there is a design behind it the forces engaged in trying to overthrow the Syrian government must be happy with the results."

9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.Philippians 2:9-11
For this reason also,
That symbol that meant slavery, God has changed to mean freedom. That meant torture, God changed to comforted. That meant death, God has changed to mean eternal life. That exhibition of death God changed to draw men to Jesus.
God highly exalted Him
This Greek word hyperypsosen means to elevate above and beyond others,
This glory is an affirmation of what Jesus has done
at the name of Jesus every knee will bow
In more ancient days it meant one thing: Humility
Bowing the knee means willing service. Acts 9:5-6: "Who are you, LORD?" and, "What do you
want me to do?"
Bowing the knee means obedience. Jesus said in Luke 6:46: "Why call me Lord, Lord and do not the things that I say?"
of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth
Every knee will bow. Those who have responded to the gospel gladly, with great joy. Those who
have hardened their hearts will bow the knee with great fear and trembling.
Even in the Old Testament, this phrase "every knee will bow, every tongue confess" is
connected with salvation—fulfilled in the Person and Work of Jesus.
and that every tongue will confess
Our confession as believers is that Jesus is Lord.
Our belief is in the resurrection
Jesus Christ is Lord
Our confession that Jesus Christ is Lord is by the Holy Spirit.
glory of God the Father
So what is the result of all of this? God the Father is glorified.

One of Chelsea's main targets during the summer transfer windows has been officially announced as a world-class striker has completed his medicals and signed a new contract.
Chelsea fans are eager to see their club signing a new world-class striker where they are angry of their Spanish international striker, Alvaro Morata, who isn't meeting the expectations at the Stamford Bridge.
One of Chelsea's main targets, the Argentinian international striker Gonzalo Higuain, has been officially announced by the Italian giant, AC Milan, as a new striker for the Milan giant.
The Argentinian forward left his previous club, Juventus FC, in a deal that is believed to be a swap deal where the Italian giant, Juventus FC, signed the Italian defender, Leonardo Bonucci, coming from AC Milan.
Knowing that Chelsea FC and Mauricio Sarri were keen to sign Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus FC in order to replace the Spanish striker, Alvaro Morata, who played previously at Real Madrid and Juventus FC as well.
This comes as one of the main transfer blows for Chelsea FC during this summer transfer as they have signed just one player until this moment, Jorginho, from Napoli FC.
Here is a picture of Gonzalo Higuain after being announced by AC Milan

This weekend has been a whirlwind of shopping, pampering, food and wine. My little sister has been in town and we've been making the most of it.
We've tried a few new things cosmetically, for which reviews will no doubt be popping up for over the next couple of weeks. The overriding theme of the weekend's acquisitions seems to have been Illumination…
One of these new things, I'm ashamed to admit, is the world famous Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat. I know you're wondering where I've been for the last 20 or so years. It's an embarrassment, really it is. Touche Éclat is such a phenomenon and yet I've only just gotten round to trying it this weekend.
We actually only trotted up to the YSL counter to try the new highly acclaimed Le Teint Touche Éclat foundation. Having heard of the miracles of the original and then the promises this new product makes, we had to have a little play. The girls at the YSL counter in Fenwicks were only too accommodating (thanks ladies!) and treated us to our own personal play time.
First up was the foundation. Boldly declaring that it's bucking the system by containing no opaque powders, but merely works to illuminates your whole face rather than painting on a mask. So far, so funky. I watch carefully as the pros test out a few shades, then select and apply the winning BD50 to my sister's skin, and on the whole I'm very impressed. It covers well but I can still see that she has tone and a naturalness to her face. However it does remain a little shiny/sticky looking, so perhaps a little dusting of a finishing powder would be required for an everyday look. Not bad.
It looks to be quite similar to the Chanel Vitalumiére Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup. I have this in 30 Beige and really only wear it for special occasions as I don't really wear foundation and this is as close as I'll get. It's good though. Very smooth and thin. So light, that if you were trying to use it to cover you'd have to layer it up but as a super light base coat it's suits me. You have to remember to shake the bottle up each time though as it comes out like water if you don't.
Back to my sister, the real transformation comes when they add the Touche Éclat. Under the eyebrows, under the eyes, in the creases of the nose and the cupids bow area. She glows. It really does make her look more awake and radiant. Dammit now I'm going to have to get one…
I ask the makeup artist to colour match me (just for the TE) and am offered two she thinks are possibilities. Shades number 1 & 2. Number 1 is supposed to be the 'universal' shade that will make practically everyone look gorgeous. She tests both on her hand to show me and my immediate reaction is to dismiss number 1. It's so pink. I don't wear pinky colours on my face. I have quite a 'blue eyed, light brown hair, pale to medium skin tone' look, and as such tend to reject anything pinky or peachy and go for browns and greys. I'd rather use bronzer or a contour kit than a pretty pink blusher. The number 2 TE is much more beige and comfortable. She tells me I may be surprised and applies 1 & 2 to the underneath of my eyes.
She's right of course. Number 2 looks like makeup. It looks like a heavy beige concealer I'm struggling to cover the bags under my eyes with.
Number 1 however is barely there, just a light illumination contouring the upper side of my face and cheekbones, lifting my features and making me look like I'll never need sleep again.
With one on each eye, I look like I've had a stroke.
Quickly I ask her to rectify the situation and she applies number 1 to both sides of my face (along with a quick sweep of the newest limited edition blusher) and I'm convinced. I'm finally purchasing Touche Éclat. And I will be wearing it forever.
In addition to this purchase my sister brought me a small Mac haul back from LA this weekend too. Along with some outrageous pictures of her rental Mustang convertible. Jealous? Me too.
I've been requesting some bits and pieces as the Mac is considerably cheaper over in the US. One of the things I was after was the Mineralise Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle. I've heard so much about this from other beauty bloggers and have been dying to try it out for myself to see if it really is worth the hype. I've been after a powder highlighter for a while as I had been relying on either Benefit Moon Beam or a creative combination of concealers in a shade too pale.
Mostly I won't wear a highlighter for work etc as it's always, I think, the one thing that gives away the fact that you have make up on. You can't be natural with mega shiny, almost sparkly cheeks. I also find the Moon Beam to be quite difficult to blend into your face in anything resembling a natural glow and by the time you have blended it (sort of) it's nigh on disappeared anyway.
The Mac Mineralise Skinfinish however, solves those problems. Highly pigmented and very easy to work with, you need only a slight sweep of the brush to see the effects. I'm really happy with the effect and both my sister and my other half approved, and it seemed to go down a storm when we went out for drinks on Friday night too.
So it would appear that the lessons we have learnt this weekend are that illumination is key, and that if we want to look bright eyed and bushy tailed but work far too hard, party far too hard and sleep far too little, sometimes it's definitely easier to fake it!

Strathclyde launches FinTech Accelerator Programme
The University of Strathclyde has launched a new FinTech Accelerator Programme to help cement Scotland's position as a leader in financial innovation.
The new programme, to begin in March 2019, was announced at the Strathclyde 100 event, a platform for early-stage businesses to pitch their ideas to potential supporters.
Entrepreneurs accepted onto the FinTech Accelerator will have access to the benefits offered by the Rising Stars programme, as well as a suite of support bespoke to the financial sector – an overall package of £10,000 in monetary and in-kind support.
The FinTech Accelerator programme will be a pathway of Strathclyde Entrepreneurial Network's existing Rising Stars programme and will encourage the development and growth of FinTech businesses.
Adrian Gillespie, Chief Commercial Officer at the University of Strathclyde, who provided the welcome to delegates at the event, said: "This is a great step forward for Strathclyde and FinTech.
"FinTech is one of the key sectors Strathclyde is focusing on as we develop the Glasgow City Innovation District partnership."

The University of Western Australia's computing power and storage capacity will be boosted through a new partnership with telecommunications and datacentres provider Amcom.
The partnership will involve Amcom hosting dedicated "cloud" services for UWA in Amcom's secure data centres in Perth. The initial contract value is $9 million over three years and will provide UWA with hundreds of computer servers and more than 400 terabytes of storage, delivered across Amcom's secure, reliable dedicated geographical path diverse 10-gigabit fibre network between UWA and Amcom's data centres.
Dr Mary Davies, UWA's University Librarian and Director (Information Management), said the new services would put UWA at the forefront of hosted computer power and capacity and allow the University to concentrate on its value-added support for teaching, learning and research.
"As UWA's requirements increase, it is vital for us to strategically plan to provide our students, academics and researchers with all the computing power and storage to meet their future needs," Dr Davies said.
"Amcom has been able to provide us with a cost-effective, secure, reliable and dedicated product that gives us capacity and capability across the University. It is both simple for us to manage and user-friendly for our staff.
"Most importantly, it will mean our data is stored in Perth using dedicated infrastructure under a private hosted services agreement."

Annal: 1990 Whitbread Book Award for Novel
Results of the Whitbread Book Award in the year 1990.
Hopeful Monsters
- 1990 Whitbread-Novel winner
- Score: 10.4
Set in the 1920s and '30s, Hopeful Monsters is the story of two remarkable people: Max, an English student of physics and biology; and Eleanor, a German Jewess who grows up in politically radical circles in Berlin in the ferment that would lead to the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II. They meet, love, go their separate ways and come together again during the maelstrom of the Spanish Civil War. The story takes them from Berlin to Cambridge, to Russia, to the Sahara, to a deserted monastery in the Pyrenees—and finally to Los Alamos and the making of the atomic bomb. In the course of their travels they meet many of the century's giants: Wittgenstein, Einstein, Rosa Luxemburg, Hitler, and several others, making Hopeful Monsters (as one reviewer put it) "a vast work, covering the whole of the twentieth century."
Startlingly ambitious and profound in its insights, this is Nicholas Mosley's masterpiece—a novel in which ideas and action combine in a moving and immensely readable narrative.

City's 'WeHo Smart City' Strategic Plan Wins the American Planning Association Technology Division's Smart Cities Award
The City of West Hollywood's Innovation Division has received the American Planning Association (APA) Technology Division's Smart Cities Award for the "WeHo Smart City" Strategic Plan. The Smart Cities Award recognizes and celebrates communities that are using technology to be intelligent about growth, quality of life, inclusivity, sustainability, and resiliency.
The ceremony was held on April 15, 2019 during the APA National Planning Conference in San Francisco, an event that brings together more than 5,000 planning professionals and city officials.
"Cities are never finished. Technological changes arrive at a rapid pace, it's thrilling that the American Planning Association (APA) is recognizing the excellent work of the City of West Hollywood as we weave technology safely into the daily lives of our residents and visitors," said West Hollywood Mayor John D'Amico. "West Hollywood's Smart City Initiative will help us initiate resident-facing technologies to improve our infrastructure and responsiveness."
Award submissions are voted upon by a diverse panel of planners, technology industry professionals, and academics who are dedicated to highlighting projects, plans, and initiatives that have utilized and/or have deployed innovative digital tools, applications, and methods as part of a planning process, plan, project, smart city initiative, or policy.
The WeHo Smart City Strategic Plan is an initiative to holistically weave technology into the fabric of the city to improve the quality of life, health, safety, and economic prosperity of residents. It focuses on optimizing urban systems by using technology and data to improve service delivery and customer satisfaction while creating new opportunities for engagement and problem-solving in the City of West Hollywood.
The Strategic Plan addresses local and regional urban challenges with a focus on five core subject areas: Sustainability, Mobility, Accessibility, Resiliency, and Transparency (SMART). WeHo Smart City leverages innovative initiatives already underway in the City and integrates new technology, digital tools, and data to improve their outcomes.
There are three core strategies that serve as the framework for the plan:
The first strategy recommends several efforts to bring data-driven decision-making to departments citywide, including the introduction of metrics; performance management and dashboards; and data analytics and visualizations. This strategy supports a culture of data at City Hall by building capacity for data analytics and developing new tools to transparently track progress on key city priorities.
The second strategy supports collaboration and experimentation and is designed to make it easier for City Hall staff to work together. Technology can provide a valuable resource to cost-effectively improve internal and external collaboration. This strategy advances best practices in piloting projects and proof-of-concept trials.
The third strategy focuses on automating processes for an exceptional customer experience. This strategy recommends exploring how data, collaboration, and technology can enhance public safety; prepare the City for the unexpected; and manage the built environment through a smart city sensor and smart building program. As the capacity for data analytics grows, so too does the ability to understand how the city is working so that services can adapt to what is needed in real-time.
The WeHo Smart City Strategic Plan was developed by the City of West Hollywood in partnership with CityFi, LLC, a leader in urban change management, as well as a team comprised of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), Iteris, and Steer Davies Gleave. SOM is one of the largest and most influential architecture, interior design, engineering, and urban planning firms in the world; Iteris is a global leader in applied informatics for urban systems; and Steer Davies Gleave is one of the preeminent mobility consulting groups worldwide.

Have you been Stranded, Living a Delusion?
Inspirational Readings by A.B. Simpson
Tuesday, August 22, 2017
Thousands of people get stranded after they have embarked on the great voyage of holiness because they have depended upon the experience rather than on the Author of it. They had supposed that they were thoroughly and permanently delivered from all sin, and in the ecstasy of their first experience they imagined that they never would be tried and tempted as before.
When, therefore, they step out into the actual facts of Christian life and find themselves failing and falling, they are astonished and perplexed, and they conclude that they must have been mistaken in their experience. Then they make a new attempt at the same thing, and again fall, until at last, worn out with the experiment, they conclude that the experience is a delusion, or at least that it was never intended for them. Thus they fall back into the old way, and their last state is worse than the first.
Men and women today need to know not sanctification as a state but Christ as a living Person.
Lord Jesus, give me Thy heart, Thy faith, Thy life, Thyself.
I the Lord, the first, and with the last �Isaiah 41:4
Things have changed a good bit since Simpson and Tozer's days. Most for the worse, especially in the church. They both understood the need for the divine influence in every true Christians life, in order to produce true and lasting holiness. The need for an intimate relationship with the Father, the He longs to have with His obedient children.
Today, I believe, that the truth is that most pastors are preaching and teaching a false faith.
A "faith" that is not faithful. A faith that needs no fruit or evidence of its reality. As James says in his letter, faith without any evidence is dead, worthless!
Really as A.B. Simpson says above it is worse than worthless, " last state is worse than the first". They are like the dog that returns to eat its vomit, or the pig that is cleaned only to return to its muddy mud hole!
People are taught to presume so much of their 'Christianity'. I want to make sure you understand 'Presumption'! Noah Webster defines it as " 1. Supposition of the truth or real existence of something without direct or positive proof of the fact, but grounded on circumstantial or probable evidence which entitles it to belief."
"3. Blind or headstrong confidence; unreasonable adventurousness; a venturing to undertake something without reasonable prospect of success, or against the usual probabilities of safety; presumptuousness. 4. Arrogance. He had the presumption to attempt to dictate to the council."
...and probably the most applicable...
"5. Unreasonable confidence in divine favor."
Yes, to Noah Webster's understanding it could be restated.... "Unreasonable confidence in 'Grace'." Noah Webster defines 'grace' as 'divine favor'.
The overwhelming teaching in churches is about a "false", "dirty" grace. A grace that covers sin rather than sets free from the power of sin. Freedom from the power of sin allows the individual to freely live, serving the Holy Spirit dwelling with in, rather than serving the flesh, the old selfish nature that is supposed to be dead.
Another potential problem arises when the Holy Spirit comes in. It is illustrated in the parable of the 10 Virgins. There were 5 foolish virgins that did not maintain the supply of the oil of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit must be maintained in order to feed the Light in our lives!
We must obey! We must yield our members to righteousness rather than disobedience and selfishness.
In order to have the strength to obey we must feed and exercise at the table of God and Holiness!
If you are feeding at the table of the world, at all, you will have a weakened spiritual immune system. You WILL get spiritually sick! You will not always have the strength to overcome Satan's fiery darts.
1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 4:4
You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.
Paul Harvey was he a prophet as he describes how Satan might destroy a "Christian" Nation in 1964?
Are you like the frog in the warm water of the world, become very comfortable while Satan has slowly turned up the heat destroying your purity and holiness?
Will you experience eternal death in Satan's worldly heat or will you shake off the lethargy and jump out of the worldly influence to gain eternal Life?
The oldest genuine Paul Harvey version of this piece we�ve found so far appeared in his newspaper column in 1964: from Snoops.com
If I Were the Devil
If I were the Prince of Darkness I would want to engulf the whole earth in darkness.
I�d have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree.
So I should set about however necessary, to take over the United States.
I would begin with a campaign of whispers.
With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whispers to you as I whispered to Eve, �Do as you please.�
To the young I would whisper �The Bible is a myth.� I would convince them that �man created God,� instead of the other way around. I would confide that �what is bad is good and what is good is square.�
In the ears of the young married I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be �extreme� in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
And the old I would teach to pray � to say after me � �Our father which are in Washington.�
Then I�d get organized.
I�d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull, uninteresting.
I�d threaten TV with dirtier movies, and vice-versa.
I�d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing, less work. Idle hands usually work for me.
I�d peddle narcotics to whom I could, I�d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction, I�d tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the Devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions; let those run wild.
I�d designate an atheist to front for me before the highest courts and I�d get preachers to say, �She�s right.�
With flattery and promises of power I would get the courts to vote against God and in favor of pornography.
Thus I would evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, then from the Houses of Congress.
Then in his own churches I�d substitute psychology for religion and deify science.
If I were Satan I�d make the symbol of Easter an egg
And the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
If I were the Devil I�d take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. Then my police state would force everybody back to work.
Then I would separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines and objectors in slave-labor camps.
If I were Satan I�d just keep doing what I�m doing and the whole world go to hell as sure as the Devil.

Yup. I think back to a game like Super Bowl XLII (undefeated Patriots vs. Giants) and recognize it as a defensive masterpiece that still managed to be wholly entertaining. That was a 7-3 game heading into the fourth quarter but had a dramatic back-and-forth conclusion that yesterday's contest completely lacked.Yeah this game being a defensive masterpiece seems like a stretch.

What Makes The A-Team Tick?
►What Makes The "A-Team" Tick?◄
Our January 27, 2019 Proven Solution entitled, "Best Contributors For Business Growth" is what has led us to this Proven Solution about A-Teams. The earlier article led 2 enterprises to seek our assistance in determining precisely who their change agent executives are while also being capable of driving enterprise transformation during the next 2 to 3 years of rapid growth and/or reinvention. One of the enterprises is based in Paris and the other is based near San Francisco.
Within 90 days it has become clear to them and also to us that who they thought their A-Team was had about 40% correlation with what and who their A-Team needs to be. The resulting conclusions for both CEO's and a few Board members have been:
- It does not take long to get to the lighted end of this usually dark future creation cave, and
- Subconscious blinders tend to prevent accurate recognition of who true A-Team players are to a degree of approximately 60%.
And in the cases of the 2 client enterprises everybody won because nobody is now thought less of…or is leaving.
The "A-Team" is the fairly small group of executives that is charged with organizationally engineering the future of the enterprise vis-à-vis its intended markets and financial performance growth.
If where your enterprise is headed happens to be where it has already been AND your enterprise has created exceptional brand and financial results all along that prior path, your A-Team for the future is likely its A-Team as currently assumed.
To the contrary and as we have now observed for more than 20 years if where you are going is not where you have already been, a new A-Team DNA is required at a fundamental level because what brought you to where you are is not what will transport you to where you need to go. Your current A-Team is likely rather amorphous for future enterprise success creation purposes.
What we have observed for more than 2 decades has again been affirmed by our 2 most recent A-Team determination engagements referenced above.
Included below are 11 of the 21 common threads weaving through A-Team executives capable of leading their businesses into a changed and improved future without delay or error. These capabilities are required of any individuals thought correctly to be "A-Players" and they are essential for any A-Team members charged with leading your enterprise to magnificently improved business outcomes in the near term. "B"- and "C"-Team members while very important possess differing capabilities not closely related to enterprise transformations.
The order of importance of these A-Team member capabilities varies from country to country, enterprise to enterprise, and industry to industry:
- They have clearly evident hybrid capabilities and are not limited to just one field of endeavor during the last 25 years or more. The CFO has also been a Director of Marketing, The Supply Chain Director has also been a Human Resources Director, the Chief Marketing Officer has also been a Vice President of Compliance, the Vice President of Human Resources has also been a Division President, and the Chief of Medicine has also been an Anesthesiologist, as examples.
- They minimize differences among people at work rather than maximize differences between people and are never distracted by fad topics espoused by special interests and first-time purported experts.
- Their motive for working is the same as the reason for the existence of the enterprise. In other words, their identity is what the enterprise will be in the near term and not where or when they will retire, as only one example.
- They do not "need their space". They enjoy all interactions with everybody including strangers, vendors, employees, customers, regulators, executives, owners, investors, shareholders and competitors.
- They maintain a laser focus on goals and simplified collective objectives for all employees they lead. In other words, they eliminate distractions. Everything through yesterday is behind them and this evidences that they focus nearly entirely on the future of the business.
- They think and talk continually about owner and shareholder interests, followed closely by customer interests.
- Anything new during the last 3 years that they have needed to learn in terms of the business has been learned by them in 2 minutes to 2 weeks, while being retained permanently.
- They consistently ask questions to learn and to connect with people having greater expertise than themselves. The last time they asked a question to challenge someone was only in a case of massive failure.
- They prevent or end conflicts, problems and roadblocks productively and rapidly.
- When observed, if they were a dog they would be wagging their tail most of the time.
- They volunteer for just about anything. Whatever needs to be done right and in a hurry with no trail of destruction is always their enthusiasm subject. They tend to wear it on their persona:
Knowing who the A-Team is tends to be fairly simple provided the enterprise is looking through its windshield rather than through its rear-view mirror as it is heading down the highway to its destination. A-Team members are not hand-picked or anointed by capable leaders; they are self-evidenced in rather small numbers. The A-Team is a mission; not a reward.
Most enterprises are about 40% correct as to who their A-Team is and needs to be, and our clients around the world have found that usually between 75% and 80% of their necessary A-Team members are currently employed by them. That generally distills to a 35% to 60% challenge based upon hard data within real enterprises that we have witnessed for decades.
As we have guided our clients on this crucial subject over the years a number of highly capable executives in several countries have wondered aloud with us whether they have mistakenly defined their A-Team as having too many usually anointed members. And in those cases, yes, there has been no need for an A-Team of 14 to 38 members within those large enterprises.
You see, excessively large A-Teams charged with creating the future tend to be excessively conflicted, ineffective, internally competitive, and/or slow.
…but the future for victorious enterprises is approaching too fast for any of that.

Finding a tax-friendly state for retirement
For those fortunate enough to be able to select a location in which to live after they retire, there are a number of factors to consider: warmer weather, nearness to friends and family -- and taxes. Not only do taxes partially determine the best places to stretch a fixed retirement income, they impact the size of the estate that retirees will be able to pass to their heirs.
The taxability of retirement benefits varies widely from state to state, according to Rocky Mengle, senior state tax analyst at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting.
Currently, seven states do not tax individual income, retirement or otherwise, he indicated: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Two other states – New Hampshire and Tennessee -- impose income taxes only on dividends and interest, at a 5 percent flat rate for both states. In the other 41 states and the District of Columbia, tax treatment of retirement benefits varies widely. For example, some states exempt all pension income or all Social Security income, while other states provide only partial exemption or credits, and some states tax all retirement income.
"The general trend of the last several years across all states is to be more taxpayer friendly when it comes to retirees, particularly with regard to military and government retirement income," Mengle observed. "Military pensions may be exempted completely, or if they already have a partial exemption in place, the state might sweeten it a bit and make it a little better for the retiree," said Mengle.
For example, military retirement pay is now deductible in Minnesota, beginning with the 2016 tax year. A new deduction for military retirement income is allowed in South Carolina, to be phased in over several years.
While some states tax pension benefits, only 13 states impose tax on Social Security income. "Most states exempt Social Security," he said. "There are some states that might have an age or income restriction of some sort, but the majority of states have a complete exemption from Social Security. It's a little more mixed when you consider other types of retirement income, such as pension income and 401(k)s. The majority of states have a complete or partial exemption, but they are more likely to give a partial exemption based on income levels, or reaching a certain age."
For retirees shopping around for states to move to in their retirement years, the type of income a retiree expects is a key consideration, according to Mengle: "For example, if the bulk of a retiree's income will be Social Security benefits, then North Carolina would be very tax-friendly. On the other hand, if the bulk is from a private pension plan, North Carolina would not be so friendly because an individual taxpayer's pension income is generally taxable there."
"Most states with income tax do impose tax on rental income, but two states – New Hampshire and Tennessee – do not," said Mengle. "They tax only dividends and interest, so a retiree with rental income might be better off in those states than retirees that are heavily invested in the stock market."
Of course, state income taxes on retirement benefits are not the only taxes to consider, Mengle said. "Sales taxes at the state and local levels and property taxes can make a difference in a retiree's overall tax liability," he observed.
In fact, the Census Bureau has just announced that property taxes paid by Americans for fiscal year 2016 rose by 3.2 percent from the 2015 fiscal year, to an all-time high of $540,701,000,000.
And for retirees with significant wealth to pass to their heirs, state estate taxes must be considered. While some states, such as Delaware and Hawaii, follow the federal exclusion amount ($5,450,000 in 2016 and $5,490,000 in 2017), others do not, according to a Wolters Kluwer review.
Some states, such as Arizona, Kansas and Oklahoma, no longer impose an estate tax, while others, including California and Florida, technically still have such a tax on their books. However, they collect no revenue since their tax is based on the now-repealed federal credit for state death taxes.

A doctor, whose wife's murder remains unsolved, displayed a handgun as police surrounded his South Jersey medical offices Tuesday morning, prosecutors said.
Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office investigators joined the FBI and Egg Harbor Township Police as they converged on Dr. James Kauffman's medical office on Ocean Heights Avenue Tuesday morning. Prosecutors said they went to the offices and later his home on Woodstock Drive in Linwood to investigate "suspected criminal activity."
"Dr. Kauffman was here when the investigators showed up to investigate the search warrant," Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
As officers executed the search warrant at the medical office, Kauffman brandished a 9mm, prosecutors said. A hostage investigator successfully convinced the endocrinologist to surrender peacefully as police continued to surround the office. He later could be seen, in medical scrubs, being led to an ambulance.[[428161853, C]]
Investigators took Kauffman in for a psychological examination with the plan of charging him with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of hollow point bullets and obstruction of the administration of law, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said their investigation into Kauffman continues as they made no mention if the doctor is being considered as a suspect in his former wife's murder more than five years ago.
April Kauffman was killed in her Linwood home in May 2012. She was a local businesswoman who hosted weekly talk shows and advocated for military veterans. She had received a governor's award for outstanding community service a few days before her death.
James Kauffman has denied any involvement in her death. The prosecutor's office would not provide a letter to her life insurer saying he wasn't considered a suspect.
Tyner said that the investigation into Dr. Kauffman may or may not be related to April Kauffman's death.
"In connection with the search warrant I can say that it was not related to the death of April Kauffman it was an unrelated matter that led us (to his office)," Tyner said.
A judge is set to rule Tuesday on a prosecutors' request to order a DNA sample from him. State Superior Court Judge Bernard DeLury said he will make his decision Tuesday but that it will be sealed and not available to the public.
"Every day that goes by we are getting closer to solving the homicide of April Kauffman," Tyner said. "We are just hopeful that one day we will be able to give her family the closure that they deserve."

Influence of the Eurasian snow on the negative North Atlantic Oscillation in subseasonal forecasts of the cold winter 2009/2010
Climate Dynamics 47 (2016) 1325-1334
© 2015, The Author(s). The winter 2009/2010 was remarkably cold and snowy over North America and across Eurasia, from Europe to the Far East, coinciding with a pronounced negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). While previous studies have investigated the origin and persistence of this anomalously negative NAO phase, we have re-assessed the role that the Eurasian snowpack could have played in contributing to its maintenance. Many observational and model studies have indicated that the autumn Eurasian snow cover influences circulation patterns over high northern latitudes. To investigate that role, we have performed a suite of forecasts with the coupled ocean–atmosphere ensemble prediction system from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Pairs of 2-month ensemble forecasts with either realistic or else randomized snow initial conditions are used to demonstrate how an anomalously thick snowpack leads to an initial cooling over the continental land masses of Eurasia and, within 2 weeks, to the anomalies that are characteristic of a negative NAO. It is also associated with enhanced vertical wave propagation into the stratosphere and deceleration of the polar night jet. The latter then exerts a downward influence into the troposphere maximizing in the North Atlantic region, which establishes itself within 2 weeks. We compare the forecasted NAO index in our simulations with those from several operational forecasts of the winter 2009/2010 made at the ECWMF, and highlight the importance of relatively high horizontal resolution.

Democracy in America Throughout the course of history, mankind has been recorded to corrupt itself. Men have grown tired of simply surviving; they have had to take and conquer others. Absolute monarchies control wealth, land, and even lives of men. The conditions of the people were solely dependent on the conditions of the one who was in power in that particular place and time. History has proven that most men rule unwisely in their kingdoms. To avoid tyrannical rule, some make an attempt to
recognize the legal obligations of a corporate profile (Mumford). Once democracy began to spread and become definite in the United States, the Americans began to experiment with new ideas and values. In America, corporatism began to evolve into a new system where the knowing of freedom and justice was beginning to emerge among men. Democracy began to change the minds of the Americans and implement a whole different way of life. Democracy also made improvement in the political, region, and social institutions
Democracy is a unique type of government, and the purpose of this essay is to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses that a democratic government provides. I will detail that many components of this type of society are both strengths and weakness as each component has beneficial aspects as well as unavoidable pitfalls. A democracy is a government by the people, in which the power is vested in the people themselves. The people then elect representatives who conduct their power in a free electoral
Democracy in America "After 37 days at sea aboard Le Havre, Tocqueville and Beaumont landed in Newport, Rhode Island on May 9. The journey had been rough, and the passengers and crew had little to eat or drink during the final days. Indeed, the passengers requested that they be allowed to disembark in Newport once it became obvious that fierce winds would prevent the ship from reaching New York as scheduled. I confess that in America I saw more than America; I sought the image of democracy
influences of a recent democratic society began to spread among the Americans, the equality of gender, the role of women, and the family began to change into an individualistic culture. In the United States, democracy opens up new beliefs on equality among the role of gender. In Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville argues on how Americans were able to see the roles of gender more equally important than the Europeans. The Americans recognize the roles of the women and men important in being part
America, a Democracy? America. What's the first thought to come to your mind after hearing this? Democracy? Land of Rights? That would make sense. America, the land of the free. The land of opportunity. But is America really a democracy? A country for the people, by the people? To an extent, but not exactly. The people of this great country do not have unlimited rights and the freedom to do what they please. Many of the rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the
Democracy in America Alexis de Tocqueville gives what appears as an unbiased opinion of what the new America looks like through his eyes and travels around the country. He begins with reflections of the American landscape describing the oceans, mountains and even the fertility of the soil. He states that the one dominate feature about the social condition of the Anglo-Americans dominates all others, that being democracy. He gives me the impression, that though he is impressed with our patriotic
As America distanced itself from Great Britain's government, it attempted to create a more democratic society. America succeeded in religious democracy, giving people the chance to choose if they wanted to go to church, and which church they would go to. Also, American society was able to increase political democracy, by giving the less wealthy places in office. Unfortunately, economic democracy worsened, as the rich just became richer, and a lot of people didn't even own land. Social democracy also
South America is a land of different cultures and has a history of as many different types of government, mostly dictatorships. Most of South America won independence from Spain and Portugal between 1810 and 1824. In 1823, President James Monroe enunciated the first US policy on Latin America. The Monroe Doctrine warned European nations against interfering in the affairs of independent nations in the Western Hemisphere. In 1904, Roosevelt's Corollary said the US would act as a "policeman"
Now days democracy has been establish in every Latin America country except Cuba, which is still a socialist state. It seemed that every other alternative form of government such as Marxism or Leninism has failed and been replaced by democracy. Furthermore it looks like people in Latin American really enjoy democracy and its' benefits, as they also consider it to be the best form of government. After the failure of authoritarian leaders and the military intervene their lives, Latin American citizens

The Bermuda Triangle of the Truth
Chris Mathews is the poster boy for what is wrong with the mainstream media. He has ascended to the key role as a political analyst and commentator at MSNBC, which is symbolic of who and what standards that network aspires to.
I watched him interview Donald Trump on their 'Townhall' program and it was indicative of why it is impossible to trust the mainstream media.
Mathews doesn't pretend to be unbiased, so that is something that must be acknowledged. Though the network is oustensibly a news network, it is not unprecedented that opinions are shared. That is fine. But like the daily newspaper, there needs to be a clear deliniation between editorial and hard news. When the pretext of the program is a 'Townhall Interview' of the Republican Presidential candidate, it is not an opinion program, it is a 'News' program.
Here is the problem: Chris Mathews made himself the story. For every two words Trump said, Mathews spewed at least three or four. His questions were incomplete, disconnected and rambling. He answered his own questions and then challenged Trump to respond to his assertions. Then, when Trump tried to formulate a coherent response, Mathews would either restructure the original question, or veer into another subject altogether.
In the end, one subject became a viral news story. Trump suggested that a woman who has had an illegal abortion should be held legally accountable, or be punished. OMG! Who ever heard of someone who breaks a law being held accountable? Mathews just went berserk!
But the point is, under the onslaught of such an unorganized, unfocused and accusatory verbal barrage, almost anyone would be inclined to make less-than-well-concieved answers. It is 'Gotcha' political news, and Mathews has placed himself directly in the spotlight. If you look up 'Gotcha News' in the dictionary, you will find a picture of Mathews.
Unfortunately for America, it is not the first time the media has shaped the news instead of reporting it. This is a threat to our freedom because it determines what people learn from news events. It makes news outlets an accessory to the news, just as someone riding in the gettaway car is an accessory to a crime.
It is one thing to be a witness to a crime, but quite another to participate, or worse, to direct a crime.
To refer to MSNBC as a mainstream media news organization is a stretch, but like so many others, it has become the Bermuda Triangle of the Truth.

Stanze. Altre filosofie dell'abitare - LA TRIENNALE MILANO, ITALY
Andrea Anastasio- Risonanze
Main partner: Riva 1920
The design for the room was triggered by reflecting on living spaces as places in which the many relational potentials for human beings coexist on a daily basis – the opportunities to affirm or deny the dimension of listening to oneself, to others and to the world in particular.
The project is intended to give shape to a combination of polarities identified by this reflection on the domestic space.
Internal-external; microcosm-macrocosm: isolation-relationship: closed-open; dialogue-indifference; health-illness. The furnishing elements essential to daily life were identified – table – bed – container -, and then arranged inside the room so as to mark so as to mark out two virtual axes, suggesting the intersection of the two rooms.
A semi – transparent curtain was hung across them, chopping them in half. While substantially altering the furniture, splitting it did not preclude its functionality, while sharpening its symbolic/narrative properties.
