After a long slog learning Corel Painter 2015, relearning how to paint, and a lot of trial and error, the cover for The Road Out is done.
So, here it is:
It's not going to stop the presses, but I'm very happy with the outcome.
Our publish date has been pushed back by a bout of illness on both sides of the Pacific, but we shall be publishing on Friday the 3rd of July.
Just two more sleeps until this two-year project is brought to a close.
I have had enough, my wife and kids have had enough, Rob is staying outwardly positive, but he's had enough, too. Even the dog is avoiding me.
In years past, I have worked 12 hour night shifts six days a week for months on end, working on construction projects. When we had the engineering business, I remember bouts of falling asleep with a welding torch in my hand at 4am. Some engineering jobs I did went for 18 months.
But I have never been involved in anything more emotionally and physically exhausting than this book.
I can't take a casual approach to anything in my life, really. I have never been satisfied with anything less than the very best I can do.
Low Spectrum Autism (as Asperger's is now called) is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, I am blessed with the ability to drive myself to learn to do something until I fall over trying. On the other hand, myself and those around me are cursed with a life of endless trials and constant failures.
On the world stage, I'm not a genius. I'm not even that great at what I do, by those standards. In reality, though, I am satisfied that I am doing the very best I can do at whatever I aim to do.
I aim to be a writer, and earn an income for my family by doing so.
Will this endeavor succeed, when my past and present is littered with the wreckage of my previous efforts?
That's not for me to say.
Either way, I'm satisfied I've done my best.

|Adapting Virtual Reality for the Participatory Design of Work Environments
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Roy C. Davies
|This paper describes the evolution of a standard PC-based virtual reality
tool which has been adapted for the participatory design of work environments.
Tool features, method of control and combination with other participatory
design tools are investigated in the context of a particular design situation.
This research is aimed at participatory design facilitators to aid in the
adaptation of similar virtual reality systems for a similar purpose. The
context of this work is the EnvisionmentWorkshop, in which a group of workers
participate with design experts in using full-scale modelling, pedagogical
drama, and democratic meetings to (re)design their workplace. A series of
prototypes have been developed and tested during the design of a new university
in the region using a case study methodology to provide high ecological
validity. These were preceded by a task analysis, brainstorming and pilot
study. The results suggest that such a tool can be constructed and used
successfully by a small group of people using projected virtual reality.
However larger groups suffer from a bottleneck at the input devices such that a
virtual reality expert must take control and build what the participants wish.

|Small-Scale Classification Schemes: A Field Study of Requirements Engineering
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Morten Hertzum
|Small-scale classification schemes are used extensively in the coordination
of cooperative work. This study investigates the creation and use of a
classification scheme for handling the system requirements during the
redevelopment of a nation-wide information system. This requirements
classification inherited a lot of its structure from the existing system and
rendered requirements that transcended the framework laid out by the existing
system almost invisible. As a result, the requirements classification became a
defining element of the requirements-engineering process, though its main
effects remained largely implicit. The requirements classification contributed
to constraining the requirements-engineering process by supporting the software
engineers in maintaining some level of control over the process. This way, the
requirements classification provided the software engineers with an important
means of discretely balancing the contractual aspect of requirements
engineering against facilitating the users in an open-ended search for their
system requirements. The requirements classification is analysed in terms of
the complementary concepts of boundary objects and coordination mechanisms.
While coordination mechanisms focus on how classification schemes enable
cooperation among people pursuing a common goal, boundary objects embrace the
implicit consequences of classification schemes in situations involving
conflicting goals. Moreover, the requirements specification focused on
functional requirements and provided little information about why these
requirements were considered relevant. This stands in contrast to the
discussions at the project meetings where the software engineers made frequent
use of both abstract goal descriptions and concrete examples to make sense of
the requirements. This difference between the written requirements
specification and the oral discussions at the meetings may help explain
software engineers' general preference for people, rather than documents, as
their information sources.

|Empirical Study on Collaborative Writing: What Do Co-authors Do, Use, and Like?
|Sylvie Noel; Jean-Marc Robert
|How do people work when they are collaborating to write a document? What
kind of tools do they use and, in particular, do they resort to groupware for
this task? Forty-one people filled out a questionnaire placed on the World Wide
Web. In spite of the existence of specialized collaborative writing tools, most
respondents reported using individual word processors and email as their main
tools for writing joint documents. Respondents noted the importance of
functions such as change tracking, version control, and synchronous work for
collaborative writing tools. This study also confirmed the great variability
that exists between collaborative writing projects, whether it be group
membership, management, writing strategy, or scheduling issues.

|From Cards to Code: How Extreme Programming Re-Embodies Programming as a Collective Practice
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Adrian MacKenzie; Simon Monk
|This paper discusses Extreme Programming (XP), a relatively new and
increasingly popular 'user-centred' software design approach. Extreme
Programming proposes that collaborative software development should be centred
on the practices of programming. That proposal contrasts strongly with more
heavily instrumented, formalised and centrally managed software engineering
methodologies. The paper maps the interactions of an Extreme Programming team
involved in building a commercial organisational knowledge management system.
Using ethnographic techniques, it analyses how this particular style of
software development developed in a given locality, and how it uniquely
hybridised documents, conversations, software tools and office layout in that
locality. It examines some of the many artifices, devices, techniques and talk
that come together as a complicated contemporary software system is produced.
It argues that XP's emphasis on programming as the coreactivity and governing
metaphor can only be understood in relation to competing overtly formal
software engineering approaches and the organisational framing of software
development. XP, it suggests, gains traction by re-embodying the habits of
programming as a collective practice.

|Ambiguities, Awareness and Economy: A Study of Emergency Service Work
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Marten Pettersson; Dave Randall; Bo Helgeson
|This paper derives from a study undertaken at an emergency service centre by
researchers at the Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden. It forms part of a
project involving partners at the university and in Swedish emergency service
centres. The focus in this project was on the possibility of developing new
technology for use in these centres. One vision for the new technology is to
support distribution of calls and handling of cases across several centres.
Historically the work has been conducted in a number of different centres,
where responsibilities are thus primarily geographically localised and where,
as a result, practices in the different centres may be distinctively local.
The study has focused on features of work familiar to the CSCW community, including documenting and analysing current work practices, understanding the properties of the technology in question, and perhaps most importantly how the technology functions in use. Our focus in this paper exemplifies these themes through the analysis of three cases. In the first, the issue in question is the way in which an emergency is identified and dealt with, it being the case that a typical problem to be dealt with by operators, and more commonly in the days of mobile telephony, is that of multiple reporting of a single case. Of particular interest here is the phenomenon of listening-in, which is a function in the Computer Aided Dispatch system and by contrast that of 'overhearing', which is not. The second and third cases focus on the relevance of large paper maps, given the existence of computerized maps in these centres. Based on our own analysis and on work done by others in similar contexts, we develop an argument for a sense of organizational relevance that hopefully integrates existing analytic interests in emergency service work.

|Organizational Memory as Objects, Processes, and Trajectories: An Examination of Organizational Memory in Use
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Mark S. Ackerman; Christine Halverson
|For proper knowledge management, organizations must consider how knowledge
is kept and reused. The term organizational memory is due for an overhaul.
Memory appears to be everywhere in organizations; yet, the term has been
limited to only a few uses. Based on an ethnographic study of a telephone
hotline group, this paper presents a micro-level, distributed cognition
analysis of two hotline calls, the work activity surrounding the calls, and the
memory used in the work activity. Drawing on the work of Star, Hutchins, and
Strauss, the paper focuses on issues of applying past information for current
use. Our work extends Strauss' and Hutchins' trajectories to get at the
understanding of potential future use by participants and its role in current
information storage. We also note the simultaneously shared provenance and
governance of multiple memories - human and technical. This analysis and the
theoretical framework we construct should be to be useful in further efforts in
describing and analyzing organizational memory within the context of knowledge
management efforts.

|Introduction to Special Issue on Context-Aware Computing in CSCW

|A Historical View of Context
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Matthew Chalmers
|This paper examines a number of the approaches, origins and ideals of
context-aware systems design, looking particularly at the way that history
influences what we do in our ongoing activity. As a number of sociologists and
philosophers have pointed out, past social interaction, as well as past use of
the heterogeneous mix of media, tools and artifacts that we use in our everyday
activity, influence our ongoing interaction with the people and media at hand.
We suggest that ones experience and history is thus part of ones current
context, with patterns of use temporally and subjectively combining and
interconnecting different media as well as different modes of use of those
media. One such mode of use is transparent use, put forward by Weiser as
ubicomps design ideal. One theoretical finding is that this design ideal is
unachievable or incomplete because transparent and more focused analytical use
are interdependent, affecting and feeding into each other through ones
experience and history. Using these theoretical points, we discuss a number of
context-aware system designs that make good use of history in supporting
ongoing user activity.

|People-to-People-to-Geographical-Places: The P3 Framework for Location-Based Community Systems
|| BIBA | Full-Text
|Quentin Jones; Sukeshini A. Grandhi; Loren Terveen; Steve Whittaker
|In this paper we examine an emerging class of systems that link People-to-People-to-Geographical-Places; we call these P3-Systems. Through analyzing the literature, we have identified four major P3-System design techniques: People-Centered systems that use either absolute user location (e.g. Active Badge) or user proximity (e.g. Hocman) and Place-Centered systems based on either a representation of peoples use of physical spaces (e.g. ActiveMap) or on a matching virtual space that enables online interaction linked to physical location (e.g. Geonotes). In addition, each feature can be instantiated synchronously or asynchronously. The P3-System framework organizes existing systems into meaningful categories and structures the design space for an interesting new class of potentially context-aware systems. Our discussion of the framework suggests new ways of understanding and addressing the privacy concerns associated with location aware community system and outlines additional socio-technical challenges and opportunities.
|Modelling Shared Contexts in Cooperative Environments: Concept, Implementation, and Evaluation
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Tom Gross; Wolfgang Prinz
|Users who work together require adequate information about their cooperative
environment: about other group members presence and activities, about shared
artefacts, etc. In the CSCW literature several concepts, prototypes, and
systems for providing this group awareness information have been presented. In
general, they capture information from the environment, process it, and present
it to the users. This paper addresses the processing aspect; in particular, we
present a concept for processing awareness information by means of awareness
contexts. With this concept we address the problem of contextualising event
notifications enabling the presentation of notifications in the appropriate
user situation. We describe a lightweight model and its integration into an
event and notification infrastructure. We report on an empirical study, and
draw some conclusions for the design of context-awareness for cooperative

|Building Connections among Loosely Coupled Groups: Hebb's Rule at Work
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|S. Carter; J. Mankoff; P. Goddi
|Awareness of others interests can lead to fruitful collaborations,
friendships and positive social change. Interviews of groups involved in both
research and corporate work revealed a lack of awareness of shared interests
among workers sharing an organizational affiliation and collocated in the same
building or complex but still physically separated (e.g., by walls or floors).
Our study showed that loosely coupled groups were less likely to discover
shared interests in the way that many tightly collocated groups do, such as by
overhearing conversations or noticing paraphernalia. Based on these findings we
iteratively developed a system to capture and display shared interests. Our
platform includes an e-mail sensor to discover personal interests, a search
algorithm to determine shared interests, a public peripheral display and
lightweight location-tracking system to convey those interests. We deployed the
system to two groups for two months and found that the system did lead to
increased awareness of shared interests.

|Building a Context Sensitive Telephone: Some Hopes and Pitfalls for Context Sensitive Computing
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Barry Brown; Rebecca Randell
|Although the idea of making technology more context aware is an alluring
one, this seemingly simple move hides a great deal of complexity. Even simple
examples such as a context sensitive mobile phone which knows when not to ring,
are unlikely to be successful. Any context sensitive technology is likely to
make mistakes - like ringing in the middle of a film, or not ringing for an
urgent call. Using three examples from fieldwork of alerting systems (two
ringing phones and one medical alarm in a hospital), we suggest three
guidelines for context systems which could genuinely assist users. First, we
argue that context sensitive computing should be used defensively, where
incorrect behaviour is tolerable. Second, that technology can provide
structures to which people themselves can add context. Third, that technology
can communicate context to users, allowing users to make sense of that
contextual information themselves. Lastly we argue for an understanding of the
long term use of technology use, dwelling with technology, a process which
changes how the world is seen and experienced.

|Ordering Systems: Coordinative Practices and Artifacts in Architectural Design and Planning

|Kjeld Schmidt; Ina Wagner
|In their cooperative effort, architects depend critically on elaborate
coordinative practices and artifacts. The article presents, on the basis of an
in-depth study of architectural work, an analysis of these practices and
artifacts and shows that they are multilaterally interrelated and form
complexes of interrelated practices and artifacts which we have dubbed ordering
systems. In doing so, the article outlines an approach to investigating and
conceiving of such practices.

|Push-to-Talk Social Talk
|Allison Woodruff; Paul M. Aoki
|This paper presents an exploratory study of college-age students using
two-way, push-to-talk cellular radios. We describe the observed and reported
use of cellular radio by the participants. We discuss how the half-duplex,
lightweight cellular radio communication was associated with reduced
interactional commitment, which meant the cellular radios could be used for a
wide range of conversation styles. One such style, intermittent conversation,
is characterized by response delays. Intermittent conversation is surprising in
an audio medium, since it is typically associated with textual media such as
instant messaging. We present design implications of our findings.

|Increasing Workplace Independence for People with Cognitive Disabilities by Leveraging Distributed Cognition among Caregivers and Clients
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Stefan Carmien; Rogerio DePaula; Andrew Gorman; Anja Kintsch
|This paper describes a group configuration that is currently employed to
support the everyday living and working activities of people with cognitive
disabilities. A client receiving face-to-face, often one-to-one, assistance
from a dedicated human job coach is characteristic of this traditional
configuration. We compare it with other group configurations that are used in
cooperative and distributed work practices and propose an alternative
configuration titled active distributed support system. In so doing, we
highlight requirements that are unique to task support for people with
cognitive disabilities. In particular, we assert that the knowledge of how to
perform such activities is shared not only among people, but also between
people and artifacts. There is a great potential for innovative uses of
ubiquitous and mobile technologies to support these activities. A survey of
technologies that have been developed to provide these individuals with greater
levels of independence is then presented. These endeavors often attempt to
replace human job coaches with computational cognitive aids. We discuss some
limitations of such approaches and present a model and prototype that extends
the computational job coach by incorporating human caregivers in a distributed
one-to-many support system.

|Community-Building with Web-Based Systems - Investigating a Hybrid Community of Students
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Markus Rohde; Leonard Reinecke; Bernd Pape; Monique Janneck
|This paper examines WiInf-Central, the virtual homeplace of a student
community (on Information Systems) at the University of Hamburg, and focuses on
processes of social identity and community-building. Drawing on social-identity
theory and communities of practice as our theoretical basis, we illustrate that
the processes of identity-building and positive in-group evaluation triggered
by WiInf-Central serve as a means for students of Information Systems to assert
themselves against faculty members and students of other disciplines. While our
study reveals strong mechanisms of social exclusion, inclusion mechanisms have
to be assessed in a more differentiated way. In particular, our study shows the
emergence of several subgroups, which appear largely closed to other community
members. We ascribe this to both the self-organized and the hybrid - half
virtual, half real - nature of the community based on WiInf-Central.

|Roles of Orientation in Tabletop Collaboration: Comprehension, Coordination and Communication
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Russell Kruger; Sheelagh Carpendale; Stacey D. Scott; Saul Greenberg
|In order to support co-located collaboration, many researchers are now
investigating how to effectively augment tabletops with electronic displays. As
far back as 1988, orientation was recognized as a significant human factors
issue that must be addressed by electronic tabletop designers. As with
traditional tables, when people stand or sit at different positions around a
horizontal display they will be viewing the contents from different angles. One
common solution to this problem is to have the software reorient objects so
that a given individual can view them right way up. Yet is this the best
approach? If not, how do people actually use orientation on tables? To answer
these questions, we conducted an observational study of collaborative activity
on a traditional table. Our results show that the strategy of reorienting
objects to a persons view is overly simplistic: while important, it is an
incomplete view of how people exploit their ability to reorient objects.
Orientation proves critical in how individuals comprehend information, how
collaborators coordinate their actions, and how they mediate communication. The
coordinating role of orientation is evident in how people establish personal
and group spaces and how they signal ownership of objects. In terms of
communication, orientation is useful in initiating communicative exchanges and
in continuing to speak to individuals about particular objects and work
patterns as collaboration progresses. The three roles of orientation have
significant implications for the design of tabletop software and the assessment
of existing tabletop systems.

|The MAUI Toolkit: Groupware Widgets for Group Awareness
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Jason Hill; Carl Gutwin
|Group awareness is an important part of synchronous collaboration, and
support for group awareness can greatly improve groupware usability. However,
it is still difficult to build groupware that supports group awareness. To
address this problem, we have developed the Multi-User Awareness UI toolkit
(MAUI) toolkit, a Java toolkit with a broad suite of awareness-enhanced UI
components. The toolkit contains both extensions of standard Swing widgets, and
groupware-specific components such as telepointers. All components have added
functionality for collecting, distributing, and visualizing group awareness
information. The toolkit packages components as JavaBeans, allowing wide code
reuse, easy integration with IDEs, and drag-and-drop creation of working
group-aware interfaces. The toolkit provides the first ever set of UI widgets
that are truly collaboration-aware, and provides them in a way that greatly
simplifies the construction and testing of rich groupware interfaces.

|Consistency Control for Synchronous and Asynchronous Collaboration Based on Shared Objects and Activities
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Jurgen Vogel; Werner Geyer; Li-Te Cheng; Michael Muller
|We describe a new collaborative technology that bridges the gap between ad
hoc collaboration in email and more formal collaboration in structured shared
workspaces. Our approach is based on the notion of object-centric sharing,
where users collaborate in a lightweight manner but aggregate and organize
different types of shared artifacts into semi-structured activities with
dynamic membership, hierarchical object relationships, as well as real-time and
asynchronous collaboration. We present a working prototype that implements
object-centric sharing on the basis of a replicated peer-to-peer architecture.
In order to keep replicated data consistent in such a dynamic environment with
blended synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, we designed appropriate
consistency control algorithms, which we describe in detail. The performance of
our approach is demonstrated by means of simulation results.

|Software Framework for Managing Heterogeneity in Mobile Collaborative Systems
|| BIBAK | Full-Text
|Carlos D. Correa; Ivan Marsic
|Heterogeneity in mobile computing devices and application scenarios
complicates the development of collaborative software systems. Heterogeneity
includes disparate computing and communication capabilities, differences in
users needs and interests, and semantic conflicts across different domains and
representations. In this paper, we describe a software framework that supports
mobile collaboration by managing several aspects of heterogeneity. Adopting
graph as a common data structure for the application state representation
enables us to develop a generic solution for handling the heterogeneities. The
effect external forces, such as resource constraints and diverging user
interests, can be quantified and controlled as relational and attribute
heterogeneity of state graphs. When mapping the distributed replicas of the
application state, the external forces inflict a loss of graph information,
resulting in many-to-one correspondences of graph elements. A key requirement
for meaningful collaboration is maintaining a consistent shared state across
the collaborating sites. Our framework makes the best of maximizing the state
consistency, while accommodating the external force constraints, primarily the
efficient use of scarce system resources. Furthermore, we describe the mobility
aspects of our framework, mainly its extension to peer-to-peer scenarios and
situations of intermittent connectivity. We describe an implementation of our
framework applied to the interoperation of shared graphics editors across
multiple platforms, where users are able to share 2D and 3D virtual
environments represented as XML documents. We also present performance results,
namely resource efficiency and latency, which demonstrate its feasibility for
mobile scenarios.

Keywords: integrated optics, couplers, integrated photonics
Abstract:In silicon photonics, light sources are typically located off-chip and connected to the chip with optical fibers. The problem of efficient coupling between the fiber and a submicron waveguide is challenging because the mode areas can differ by up to three orders of magnitude. In this work, we demonstrate that it is possible to use a high index multimode waveguide with its lowest order mode matched to the fiber mode, which increases the range of materials usable for the coupler waveguide significantly. An inverse-taper coupler between a fiber and a SiNx-waveguide overclad with silicon oxide was fabricated. 1dB loss was measured for a 750µm-long device with a low-index multimode waveguide designed to match a 4.0µm fiber.

Not all Christians live at the same spiritual level according to the apostle John. He sees fathers, young men and little children as stages of spiritual development.
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of His name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know the One who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have had victory over the evil one (1 John 2:13).
The writer of Hebrews sees two levels of growth—infant and mature.
Now everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced with the message about righteousness, because he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature—for those whose senses have been trained to distinguish between good and evil (Hebrews 5:14)
Paul sees Christians living like ordinary people or worthy of the Lord.
Because you are still fleshly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living like ordinary people? (1 Corinthians 3:3).
For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven't stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10).
There is an obvious difference in the thinking and behavior of believers. Many people in churches would like to think that they are filled with the Holy Spirit even though they do not know it. It is impossible to be filled with the Spirit and not know it! Furthermore, not everyone desires to be filled with the Spirit! There is nothing strange or abnormal about the Spirit-filled life; it is the norm!
Must one reach a certain stage of development and level of growth to be filled with the Spirit? The biblical answer is "No!" All the believers were filled and they received boldness for witness in the infant church—the fear of man was removed.
When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak God's message with boldness (Acts 4:31).
The new convert, Saul of Tarsus, was filled with the Spirit and was moved to preach Jesus as the Son of God (Acts 9:17). Fifteen years later, at Pisidan Antioch, Paul with the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit (Acts 13:52). Therefore, we surmise that the Holy Spirit fills believers at whatever stage or level they have reached. One does not need to be "super" mature to be filled with the Spirit; a babe in the faith can be filled. The first Christians were filled with the Spirit and they were mere babes in Christ at the time of Pentecost.
Maturity has to do with development and growth and requires time and accumulation of knowledge. The filling of the Spirit is divine control, power, or influence of the believer's faculties, however much or little those faculties may be developed. A newborn babe in Christ might be spirited filled, knowing only the basics of the Gospel. While a Christian of many years of training in the Bible, with a good grasp of spiritual and moral principles, and long years of labors for the cause of Christ, may be unfilled.
Regrettably, Satan has bitterly opposed the doctrine of being filled with the Spirit with great success. He has confused it, opposed it, and surrounded it with false notions and fears.
It is common among Pentecostals and Charismatics to identify the baptism of the Spirit with the filling of the Spirit.
To be Pentecostal is to identify oneself with experience that came to Christ's followers on the day of Pentecost, that is, to be filled with the holy Spirit in the same manner as those who were filled with the Holy Spirit on that occasion (Ernest Williams, "Your Questions," Pentecostal Evangel 49 (January 1961).
To the contrary, positional fullness of the Spirit is the ground of experiential filling, which is repeatable with the Spirit filling (Acts 2:4; 4:8, 31; 9:17; 13:9). Believers who habitually live the Spirit-filled life are described as "full" (plhrhv pleres an adjective) of the Holy Spirit (Acts 6:3; 7:55; 11:24). "Filled" is the verb plhyw pletho, which indicates to be entirely under the Spirit's influence and power, such as when Peter was filled with the Spirit to speak God's Word.
Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit and said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders (Acts 4:8).
The Greek tote (tote "then") points to a fresh filling with the Spirit for that particular time. Thus, "filled with the Spirit" was a separate event from Peter being filled with the Spirit on Pentecost; it was a repeated event. Apparently, Peter did nothing for this filling; the power of the Spirit influenced or carried him along as he courageously spoke the Gospel (Acts 4:8-13). Yet, Paul commands believers to be filled with the Spirit.
And don't get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).
Since this exhortation is addressed to Christians, it can mean only that they are expected to seek a fuller manifestation of the Sprit than they have already experienced. Therefore, we must understand that sometimes the Spirit fills the believer on His own and sometimes the believer brings about the filling of the Spirit. The filling of the Spirit is obviously different from the indwelling of the Spirit and being full of the Spirit.
The verb "be filled" (plhrousye (plerousthe") is a present passive imperative. The present tense indicates a durative idea, and can be translated, "keep being filled." The passive voice means the subject is acted upon. Here a person is being acted upon, controlled by a power outside himself— the Holy Spirit. The imperative mood is a command, a mandate. Keep in mind this command or mandate is for all Christians, whatever their stage of development or level of growth.
The parallel passages of Ephesians 5:18-21 and Colossians 3:15-17 connect "keep being filled with the Spirit" with "let the word of Christ dwell in you richly." It is no accident that we find the results of the Spirit-filled life and the Word-filled life to be the same.
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ (Ephesians 5:18-21 NIV).
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (Colossians 3:15-17 NIV).
First, the single command in Ephesians, "be filled with the Spirit," is followed five present participles: "speaking," "singing," "making melody," "giving thanks," and "submitting," which are descriptive consequences of the Holy Spirit's filling. We can group the consequences of being filled with the Spirit from two passages into four characteristics.
1. The Spirit-filled believer will adore and worship God with a glad heart.
2. The Spirit-filled believer will be thankful at all times under all circumstances.
3. The Spirit-filled believer will submit to others out of reverence for Christ.
4. The Spirit-filled believer will admonish others with all wisdom.
The believer can expect the above when filled with the Spirit plus more.
1. The nine traits of the fruit of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22-23
2. The power to witness for Christ, Acts 1:8
3. The bringing of glory to Christ, cf. John 16:14
Second, the believer who wants to be filled with the Spirit needs to let the Word of Christ dwell in him or her richly. Salvation starts with the Word being sowed into the heart by Christ (Matthew 13:18-23) and the filling of the Spirit begins with the Word of Christ dwelling richly in the believer. Unquestionably, a believer who meditates day and night on God's Word will experience the riches of the indwelling Word and Spirit as they yield their fruit in due season (cf. Psalm 1).
Taking the two contexts of both passages together, the indwelling Spirit and Word of Christ will have a similar effect as a person drunk on wine. The drunkard is controlled by alcohol and the believer is under the influence of the Spirit and the Word. Drunkenness produces debauchery and the filling of the Spirit produces godliness and spiritual worship.
These two passages from Ephesians and Colossians define "spiritual worship"—what it means to worship in Spirit and Truth (John 4:23-24). Believers are filled with the Spirit as the Word of Christ dwells in them richly. The peace of Christ in the heart spans gratitude and spiritual worship— reverence for Christ that is manifested in everything that is said and done. Undoubtedly, the six actions steps of Romans 6 are involved with the filling of the Spirit along with the seventh step of dedication.
Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).
We can glean from these two passages that the believer must be willing to be completely possessed with the Spirit and willing to obey the Word of God.
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him (Acts 5:32).
And of course, there is always the necessity of prayer.
If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him? (Luke 11:13).
I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love, and to know the Messiah's love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16-19).
If you want to be filled with the Spirit, let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, especially as set forth in the book of Romans.
1. Know your position in Christ, Romans 6
2. Be aware of your sin, Romans 7
3. Understand the lordship of the Spirit, Romans 8
4. Present your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, Romans 12:1
5. No longer conform to the pattern of this world, Romans 12:2
6. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, Romans 12:2
For Spirit-filling, the believer is never to depend upon self or works of the flesh—the sin of self-confidence.
I only want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now going to be made complete by the flesh? (Galatians 3:3).
The filling of the Spirit will not take place if one is walking in sin instead of the light or has not confessed sins of the past, since fellowship with God is broken by sin. Sin must be confessed to God for forgiveness and cleansing (1 John 1:5-10). The Holy Spirit will not fill or possess an impure vessel.
A popular presentation of the Spirit-filled life had been developed by Bill Bright, which he includes in his book, The Holy Spirit: The Key to Spiritual Living, on page 57.
To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be controlled and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We cannot have two masters (Matthew 6:24). There is a throne, a control center, in every life either self or Christ is on that throne. This concept of Christ being on the throne is so simple that a child can understand it.
Bright's presentation of the "spiritual man" is an oversimplification since such a state of being is nonexistent this side of heaven. There might be moments when the Holy Spirit totally controls the believer, but usually for a short period or the completion of a spiritual task.
If the Spirit of Christ is totally in control then how could anyone choose to sin after being filled? A person totally controlled by the Spirit will always think and act in unnatural ways—his thoughts, words, and actions will always be pure and godly. Even failure to be filled with the Spirit is sin. Terms like "characterized," "taught," influenced," "strengthened" and "empowered" by the Spirit are
better descriptions.
In summary, how can you be filled with the Spirit?
1. Be forgiven and cleansed by confessing your sins to God
2. Present your body as a living sacrifice to God
3. Be willing to obey the Word of God
4. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you—richly walk in the light
5. Desire the Spirit to possess you—be transformed by the renewing of your mind
6. Do not seek the Spirit's filling by works of the flesh
7. Ask God for the filling of the Spirit
Spirit-filled believers are set free from the spiritual bondage, blindness and oppression of the flesh and Satan. This is the spiritual liberty predicted by Isaiah, which Christ inaugurated through His death, resurrection and sending of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor (Luke 4:18-19;
Isaiah 61:1-2).
Freedom is one of the most characteristic functions of the Spirit.
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17; cf. James 1:19-25).
Most assuredly, no one experiences this freedom more than the Spirit-filled believer, who walks by the Spirit.

"Daedalus and Icarus" Plot Diagram
(SpringBoard Activity 1.20)
WHO: Daedalus, Icarus & King Minos of Crete
WHERE: Island of Crete (near Greece)
WHEN: When gods and mortals lived together
CONFLICT: Daedalus, an architect, was hired
to build a maze by King Minos. He is then imprisoned by the king and wants to escape
off the island with his son.
Daedalus thought of a plan; he would make wings so he and his son, Icarus, could fly away, so he made two pair of wings from wax and bird feathers.
Daedalus taught he and his son to fly.
Daedalus warned his son. He told him to not fly too close to the sun or the wings would melt.
When it was time for them to take off, Daedalus went ahead of Icarus.
Icarus was excited by the feeling of flight, so he opened his wings and soared upward towards the sun.
Soon Icarus's wings began to melt and he started falling down towards the vast sea.
Daedalus noticed his son was nowhere to be found so he went
back in search.
Below him he saw the feathers of his son's wings floating in the water. He knew Icarus had drowned.
Falling Action
An island nearby was named Icaria, in memory of Icarus.
Daedalus went to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and hung up his wings as an offering.
Daedalus never flew again.

2017 Ford GT
Do you remember Ford GT40 model? If you remember, you know that GT40 model was a purpose-built vehicle and that it was constructed to put Enzo Ferrari on the second place at Le Mans. The only bad thing is that this model lasted just two years before being discontinued. However, today, we have one excellent news for all Ford enthusiasts but also for all lovers of supercars. For 2017, we can anticipate the second generation of that model with the name 2017 Ford GT. The Company will construct only 500 units of this model per year. Production will continue until the year 2020, and if you succeed to be one of the customers, you will be a happy man. Of course, this new model and the previous generation will have some similarities especially from the outside, but the newly model will receive some modifications as well. If you have in plan to be among the 500 lucky customers every year, read the following review and find out something more about this powerful supercar.
2017 Ford GT Exterior design
The exterior design of the next gen GT model will be very similar to the exterior design of the previous GT40 model. Some changes are provided of course, and one change is, for example, the chassis of this model. This model will have extremely light chassis, and that will be very useful for the performance of the engine. The entire chassis will be made from a carbon-fiber body, front and rear sub-frames from an aluminum. This new model will also feature pushrod suspension as well as carbon-ceramic brakes. The future model will also feature signature sloped GT nose that will have dual channels in the front. That will make this model even more aggressive than the previous one.

The rear side of this model is maybe even nicer than the front side. At the back, 2017 GT will feature crisp cuts near the taillights, round hips as well as a canon exhaust type. This model is wider, with cabin tucked inside that makes it more aerodynamic than the previous model. All the lighting on the vehicle will most likely use the newest generation of LED technology. In order to cut drag and to improve visibility, this coupe will have sloped windshield. At the sides, this model will ride on 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels or on 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum depending on your choice. Tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2.

2017 Ford GT colors(exterior):
– including Frozen White,
– Shadow Black,
– Ingot Silver,
– Triple Yellow
– Liquid Red,
– Liquid Grey,
– Liquid Blue,
– Matte Black.
Ford GT 2017 Interior design
This model has a two-seat cockpit, and it will have nicely designed upward-swinging doors. The front seats will be connected to the carbon fiber passenger cell(fixed seating position). The anticipated 2017 Ford GT will have an F1-inspired steering wheel. This steering wheel will feature necessary driver controls as well as paddle shifters just behind the wheel. Also, just like in the every supercar, this model will have pedals and wheel that will be configurable to provide different driver setups. The instrument cluster of this model will be most likely fully digital and it will show driver important information. We don't know for sure, but some rumors suggest that the interior will have infotainment system. The word is about the recently updated Sync 3 infotainment setup.

Engine and Performance
Beneath the hood, we can expect one change compared to the previous model. Instead of supercharged V-8 engine, this model will use Ford's next-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 twin-turbocharged engine. According to Ford, this new engine will have a capability of generating more than 600 horsepower. This is the strongest Ecoboost engine ever from Ford. Unfortunately, there is no information about the max torque, but as soon as Ford announce some data, we will let you know. This newly engine will be mated to a seven-speed, dual clutch transaxle system. The power will be transferred to all wheels of course. Some rumors suggest that we can expect manual transmission system, but unfortunately, that is not true. When it comes to top speed, this model will most likely have a top speed of around 200 mph (more or less). Also, the acceleration from 0-60 mph will be less than four seconds.

Price and Release date
The release date of the second generation Ford GT model will be in the first half of next year. This model will have a starting price of around $400.000.

Time fly's, doesn't it? Where I live summer came late, it almost seems like fall never left. And now it's here again. It's also the beginning of the flu season.
Our kids will go off to school and some will bring the flu home with them. We go off to work and bring the germs home with us. It's a cycle that happens no matter how healthy you try and keep your family.
There are things you can do in an effort to keep the germs at bay and your home or office clean and sanitized.
Wash Your HandsThis is something we learn at a young age. Wash your hands regularly. This is especially true when you come in contact with someone who is not feeling well, or you are coughing and sneezing.
If you are not somewhere where you can wash your hands, keep hand sanitizer handy. My daughter keeps a small container in her sons backpack as well as some sani-hand wipes.
Wipe Down SurfacesWhether you are at home or at the office, keep those high traffic surface areas wiped down.
• Light switches
• Doorknobs and handles (doors, refrigerator, microwave, etc.)
• Faucets and sink handles
• Computer keyboard and mouse
• Printer and faxes
• Desktops
• Countertops
Here are a few disinfectant/sanitizing wipes:
• Clorox
• Purell
• Lysol
• Good and Clean
Here is a homemade recipe for sanitizing kitchen and bathroom surfaces. You may not see the germs and bacteria, but they're still there.
• In a large bowl or container, combine 1 gallon cold water and 1 tablespoon unscented, liquid chlorine bleach.
Dip a clean cloth into the solution and wipe down all surfaces. Allow the solution to stay on the surface for a minimum of one minute to get the best disinfecting action. Wipe dry with a clean, cotton cloth.
Don't ShareI don't know about you but when I'm heavy in thought, I chew on the end of my pen (well the pen cap). So it's probably a good idea you don't share things like that, not to mention those that wipe their nose with the backs of their hand – yuk! – germs!! and you're using their pen, gross.
Other things you should consider not sharing are cups, kisses, toothbrush, bites of food, etc.
Remember, it's the little things you do that can help prevent germs and bacteria from spreading, keeping you, your family, and friends healthy.

Bamboo Beach Club's Tuna Tartar.
It's Bamboo Beach Club for a unique dining experience
Bamboo Beach Club, formerly Reggae Beach, is situated at Prospect, just outside Tower Isle in St Mary, and participates in Restaurant Week for the first time.
"Bamboo Beach Club offers a unique dining experience on the most charming and beautiful beach property one can find," said beach manager Terresha Perry.
For dining, the beach is transformed into an ultracool outdoor lounge with tables set along the shoreline.
Come November 14-22, Bamboo Beach Club will offer international and Jamaican cuisine that includes Chef Daneann Minto's popular Tuna Tartar and the uniquely created Oxtail Bruschetta.
Among the items on the main course is chicken breast stuffed with ackee and salt fish, served with mushroom rice and sorrel and ginger glaze, and the never dull large portion of a whole steamed fish.
"The culinary experience is not complete without our amazing selection of home-made desserts," Perry stated.
"Diners may choose from the traditional rum an raisin bread pudding, drizzled with caramel sauce, to the international tres leches cake with dulce de leche, to the secret ingredient in the heavenly coffee cheesecake."

Rain may well play a factor in tonight's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (FOX, 5:30 p.m. ET).
And if it does, NASCAR's longest race might not go the full distance after all.
As of 8:30 a.m. ET, weather.com says there's only a 20 percent change of rain at 6 p.m., which is good. But as the night goes on, the chance of rain increases, with showers predicted to begin around 9 p.m.

For the race to become official, the drivers will have to get to one lap past the halfway point, which means 201 laps, or 301.5 miles. If the forecast is accurate, that should be doable, although it could change team strategy.
Still, teams don't know if they'll go the full distance tonight, shorter than the full distance or race on Monday if rain washes out the race. It makes planning difficult, at best.
"I think the biggest question is whether we'll race (tonight) or Monday," said pole-sitter Martin Truex Jr. "I think going from day to night is not that huge of a deal, you can kind of just band aid things for the day and hang on to it planning on trying to be good at nighttime.
"Then if you have that game plan and you have to race in the daytime then you're going to have to band aid it for the whole race and then your chances of winning are probably not good. I don't know, it's a tough one. We're just trying to figure it all out right now, but we'll see what happens."
FOXSports.com will have weather updates throughout the day.

Creating sculpture takes patience. Creating Calcite sculpture takes extraordinary patience. Working with Calcite is a different experience than working with marble or granite. Like the grain pattern in a piece of wood, marble has a bedding plane. When I carve marble I use the bedding plane as a map for where and how I will make my cuts. Calcite is formed from crystals so it has a 'chaotic' grain. When I carve Calcite I jump into a tangled pattern of stone. I use a number of different diamond saws to create my shapes out of the Calcite. I can't use the traditional hammer & chisel because the impact of those blows would fracture the stone. When I do use an air hammer it is with extreme precision.
Once the basic shape is roughed out, I use a wide variety of air & electric powered sanders to fashion the piece into its final form. Calcite requires a tremendous amount of grinding. I take my pieces so thin that I have to study all the different planes. I work with different sanders depending on the thickness and type of edge. With Calcite I always look for ways to remove the stone without stressing the crystals.
Finishing a Calcite piece is also unique. A traditional T Barny piece is polished to a fine glass-like finish. The light reflects off that surface to give the marble a sparkle. Calcite is finished by using muratic acid to open the crystals. With Calcite I am trying to bring the light into the piece to make the pattern of crystal's glow. Then the light emerges through the various hues of honey gold.

Fishbony Alley is one example of the many innovative projects coming out of downtown Gulfport. Gulfport Main Street is proud to host the 2017 Destination Downtown conference, a regional Main Street conference that draws 150 attendees from Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. Attendees will gather at Fishbone Alley with music on the first night, which will serve as the starting place for a Downtown Pub Crawl.
Fishbone Alley "Urban Living Room" A Community Project
Fishbone Alley is a one block long and a 20 foot wide alley, located in historic downtown Gulfport that connects 13th and 14th Streets. Before the alley was revitalized, it was a common place for illegal dumping, tons of trash; rodents were always present, as well as other unsavory activities. Now it's a funky little destination that backs up to the restaurants and bars located around the alley, and has an "entrance" to a most exciting location.
Fishbone Alley, originally a utility alley used for trash and maintenance, was conceived to be not only a destination, but the heartbeat, the ultimate "Urban Living Room" in a place where there was once trash.
The idea of Fishbone Alley is the brainchild of Economic Development Director, David Parker, and is a dream-come true for the City of Gulfport. The Economic Development Dept. and Gulfport Main Street (GMSA) spearheaded the alley's revitalization effort. The redesign created a pedestrian only right-of-way with century-old bricks, creative dumpster corrals, decorative lighting, and local art/murals all displayed throughout the entire length of the alley.
Where there was once broken concrete, there's a path 100 year old bricks used to build the city in 1906. Where there was once ugly broken utility lights, there are beautiful string lights, supplying the same security lighting, but in an esthetically pleasing way. When construction was completed in 2016, the costs were approximately $250,000. The creative Fishbone Alley signs and the art were made possible by a grant from the Knight Foundation via the Gulf Coast Community Foundation. Local artists (and non-artists) were invited to "leave their mark" with murals, panels and the painted shutter program, and is an ongoing program allowing the organic nature of the alley through the eyes of our community.
Located in the heart of downtown, this space encourages the community to come together, whether it's lunch or afternoon coffee, listening to music or watching a movie. Fishbone Alley, and our "Urban Living Room", is creating a social interaction of space, bringing the entire area together, connecting the dots to outlining communities and neighborhoods as well. The grand opening drew thousands of locals and visitors alike who wanted to experience the essence of the Alley, unlike any other on the Gulf Coast.
Expect to see many events and programming throughout the year with events like 3rd Saturdays, celebrating the music and culture of our heritage in a unique way each month. Top it off with "The World's Smallest Festival", an event to promote that size really doesn't matter when it comes to celebrating. This is just the beginning of many wonderful events and programs that are taking place in Fishbone Alley.

Plastic bottles are not sustainable, no matter what we've been told. Using vast quantities of fossil fuels and water, these bottles are manufactured, filled, and shipped around the globe. (Not a good carbon footprint!) Neither are bottles biodegradable in any meaningful way: what you drink in a few minutes can stick around for a thousand years. Even with recycling efforts, 6 out of 7 plastic bottles consumed in the U.S. are "downcycled"—sent somewhere out of sight and out of mind where, for the next millennia, toxins from degrading plastic containers can leach into watersheds and soil. That's just not something we need to give to global neighbors and future generations. Most bottled water is glorified tap water at 10,000 times the cost. The label on your bottled water may depict a peaceful mountain stream, but that doesn't mean the water inside is pure and pristine. Only some bottled water comes from springs or groundwater sources. It turns out that approximately 25% of bottled water is sourced from ... the tap. Sure, some companies filter or radiate the tap water with ultraviolet light before selling it to you at several thousand times the cost of municipal tap water. (Examples include Aquafina, Dasani, and many other brands.)
Moreover, studies show that bottled water samples can contain phthalates, mold, microbes, benzene, trihalomethanes, even arsenic. And only recently did the FDA start regulating bottled water for E. Coli, thanks to advocacy by the Natural Resources Defense Council. Upshot: bottled water markup is extreme. Health standards are often a wash and may even favor tap water. If you're concerned about municipal water supply and want to know more, check out this helpful resource, which can help you learn about your municipal water supply and decide if filtration or purification is right for you. Many bottled waters contain toxins, even if they've nixed BPA. Plastic isn't just bad for the planet, It's not good for you, either. Bottled water companies increasingly use BPA-free plastic, but laced into plastic bottles are other chemicals that can seep out if bottles are exposed to heat or sit around for a long time. Some of these chemicals are possible endocrine disruptors. No one knows for sure what the health outcomes are. Do you really want your body to undergo that experiment? . 325
116 Every cancer patient should hear from their oncologist when they are first diagnosed. They should be told that by making certain dietary changes, they could increase their chances of healing from cancer dramatically, no matter what course of treatment they pursue. Cancer patients should be informed that nutrition is their first and best defense when starting down the path of healing from cancer. Information should be provided about how to switch to an alkaline diet,[i] composed of primarily vegetables, with a small amount of fruit, grains and protein. This diet is similar to the ketogenic[ii] diet, which is much discussed in the oncology press, but with further reduction in total protein consumption as well as grains, processed fats and sugar, to help control inflammation in the body.
Instead, the dietary information provided to cancer patients is an afterthought, and amazingly, usually includes foods and meal preparation techniques that are known promoters of cancer progression.[iii] Clearly, there is a disconnect between very well documented information on diet and cancer progression and those who communicate most often with cancer patients – the oncology teams. The modern way of life, particularly in fast-paced Western countries, does not lend itself to an anti-cancer, alkaline diet. Convenience food products, microwave meals, packaged snacks and fast food dominate many people's daily menu. It should come as no surprise that these foods are not optimal if you are battling cancer. But what should a newly diagnosed cancer patient do, right away, to help themselves prepare for the treatments to come and increase their chances for healing?

A ballad is a narrative, rhythmic saga of a past affair, which may be heroic, romantic or satirical, almost inevitably catastrophic, which is related in the third person, usually with foreshortened alternating four- and three-stress lines ('ballad meter') and simple repeating rhymes, and often with a refrain. (Ballads should not be confused with the ballade, a 14th and 15th century French verse form.)

Obama's new commerce pick may push for expanding H-1B capFebruary 5th, 2009 - 11:49 am ICT by IANS
Washington, Feb 5 (IANS) President Barack Obama's new pick as commerce secretary, Senator Judd Gregg, may well become the White House lead for expanding the cap on H-1B visas, a bulk of which go to Indian firms.Gregg, who strongly supported expanding the H-1B visa programme in the Senate, is among a group of people in top White House posts that also see offshore outsourcing as a plus for the US economy, the Computer World magazine reported.
Obama himself voiced support early in his campaign for increasing the 85,000-visa cap, which includes 20,000 visas set aside for advanced-degree graduates from US universities. But he has not addressed the issue in recent months.
In a talk last April at the Cato Institute, a libertarian policy research group, Gregg pointed to comments by Bill Gates that for every H-1B worker who comes to the US, five jobs are created, the tech publication noted.
"It's not like… we are taking jobs from Americans, which is what you hear from labour unions. We're actually creating jobs by bringing bright people into this country," Gregg said.
Many in Congress are divided on the H-1B issue. For instance, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley believes H-1B workers are being used to displace Americans.
Gregg acknowledged that there has been some abuse in the H-1B programme, "especially involving Indian-related companies and their basic flooding of the market in this area and then having people return to India with knowledge that they gained here."
But, he argued, that's an issue "that can be corrected fairly easily with minor adjustments in the programme."
Indian offshore firms are the largest users of H-1B visas and consider it critical to their delivery model for moving IT functions offshore. It's a point they have made repeatedly in US Security and Exchange Commission filings.
Apart from Gregg another one of Obama's choices, Diana Farrell, may be just as important in shaping White House policy, the Computer World said.
The former director of the McKinsey Global Institute, McKinsey & Co.'s economics research arm, Farrell has been tapped to serve on the National Economic Council and as deputy economic adviser to the president.
McKinsey, a management consulting firm, has published research that argues that offshore outsourcing to low-wage countries brings "substantial benefits" to the US. Its studies and reports have been cited by the tech industry in support of the H-1B visa programme.
Tech industry groups praised Gregg's appointment in statements. TechNet, a bipartisan political network of tech-centric CEOs, said Gregg "will no doubt be a strong ambassador for America's workers, businesses and our dynamic economy."

This book is a guide to obtaining a UK visitor's visa for a friend or loved one. It is sometimes referred to as a fiancée visa, because, in Thailand at least, many men try to get one for their girlfriend.
Having said that, the details in this book apply to anyone trying to obtain a visa for someone else and to any country without special status. The only difference would be the location of the embassy.
However, this book does not go into the details of how to fill in the forms. The embassy's website and staff are better at that and the questions change anyway. Rather, this book tells the applicant and sponsor what the embassy help desk does not say or at least hides very well. It guides you in the minefield of how you are expected, but never told how, to prove that you are in a 'long-standing relationship' so that you get your visa the first time and avoid unnecessary, expensive agency fees and the heartache of refusal.
The cost of the book includes unlimited free email consultation with the author.

Age 57, Halifax, passed away peacefully with his loving wife by his side January 6th, 2018th at the QEII, V.G. Site. Born in Halifax, he was a son of the late Edward and Rita Benedict.
Known to many by "Papa Bear or Gumpy", he thoroughly enjoyed working on cars, playing guitar and singing with his loved ones. If you ever had any issues with your computer, Bruce was always the person to call. He was always a reliable source with great movie selections and laughter when it came to funny voices and impressions. A favorite pass time of his was building model cars, wood working projects and most of all creating fun, laughter and unforgettable memories with his grandchildren and family.
He was survived by his wife of 35 years, Wendy Benedict; children, Sherry, Nicole, Brucey and Lacey; grandchildren, Sharisha, Tyrel, Tomaz, Tova, Kyra, Anina and Alaura; siblings, Heather (Royce) Tucker, Darlene Benedict, Susan Benedict and Tim (Donna) Benedict and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members and loving friends. He was predeceased by nephew, Adam Swinamer.
Arrangements are under the care of J. Albert Walker Funeral Home (2005) Ltd. 149 Herring Cove Rd, where visitation will be held Friday January 12th from 10:30 am-12:30 pm. As per Bruce's request, casual dress, no monkey suits, jeans and t-shirts will do. Interment to take place at a later date. In leiu of flowers, donations may be made to the Palliative Care Unit of the V.G. Site Halifax, thank you for your welcoming care.

text: If you have a remodel you know you want to tackle, but have little or no time to research products and find reliable contractors, this could be the perfect fit. Project management services allow you to be as involved in the process as you want to be. The designer provides design concepts and plans, oversees product selections, ordering, and scheduling. We can recommend several trusted, reliable local contractors when you prefer to have your products professionally installed, but are also open to working alongside contractors or tradespeople provided by the homeowner. This service has been very popular with our clients because it helps them to minimize the interruptions that home remodeling projects can often cause in their day-to-day lives and alleviates the associated stress that can result when tackling the management of a job themselves. Project management services provide peace of mind of having the guidance of a professional designer overseeing your project who can make your visions for your space a reality.
