MarketFaith Ministries is an equipping ministry which is focused on helping Christians become more effective in living out their faith in the midst of the increasingly diverse worldview environment of modern society.
Introduction I know that the name of this newsletter is Worldview Made Practical. And I know that you might not see the practical aspect of some of the articles right off the bat as you read them. Unfortunately, it is necessary to have a certain knowledge foundation before practical implications can be gleaned and applied. So, some articles are designed to give you that foundation. But today's article is practical to the core – if you consider your devotional life to have practical implications for your life. I hope that what you read below will help you understand your relationship with God in a more profound way and will give you new understandings that will help you help other's, as well. If you find this helpful, please take the time to pass the article on to your friends – and encourage them to sign up.
Worldview and Your Devotional Life When throwing a punch in karate, there are several things which must come together properly in order for the punch to be effective. If your punching technique is not right you might end up breaking your own hand rather than hurting your opponent. If you are off balance, you might end up falling down yourself rather than knocking your opponent down. An effective punch depends on proper technique. There are many improper techniques you can use, and all of them will end up causing your punch to be ineffective. But if your technique is right, your punch will accomplish the purpose for which it was thrown. You may be wondering, at this point, what a karate punch, worldview and your devotional life have in common. In fact, there is a very important principle in common that will absolutely determine the effectiveness of your personal devotional expression. Your worldview is the basis for your devotional life with God in the same way that your technique is the basis for the way you strike someone in karate. Implications of the Worldviews Worldview is the set of assumptions you have about the way reality is organized. What you think about God and the way you interact with him is based on that set of assumptions. If your assumptions are wrong, you will, at best, have an incomplete relationship with God. At worst, you will be separated from him completely. But if your understanding is correct, you can have an intimate and satisfying relationship with him. Let's look at the implications of each of the worldviews at it relates to interacting with God. How Would You Interact with God If You Were a Naturalist? To begin with, a Naturalist does not believe that the supernatural exists, and thus does not believe that God exists. The implication here is abundantly obvious. There is no devotional life because a Naturalist does not acknowledge that there is anyone to interact with. (Continued on page 2)

(Continued from page 1) How Would You Interact with God If You Were an Animist? An Animist does believe in the supernatural. In fact they believe that there are many gods. Not only that, they are convinced that the god's are responsible for their well-being. As a result, Animists are very active in praying and in performing various rituals and sacrifices to make sure the gods remain appeased. But the interaction with the gods is not personal. Rather it is mechanical; do the right actions and the gods are pleased, but do the wrong ones and they become angry. Individuals are mostly concerned with making sure the gods are appeased. How Would You Interact with God If You Were an Adherent of Far Eastern Thought? Those who follow a belief system based on Far Eastern Thought understand reality to be completely impersonal. There is no personal God to interact with. There is only the great impersonal cosmos. Various systems may acknowledge physical manifestations of God, but the overall view is that ultimate reality is the aggregate of energy which is already totally connected and moving toward the unity of the whole. Since all of the energy is connected, that which is related to any individual is already a part of the "godhead." Since there is no personal God to pray to, they do not pray. Rather, since they are already a part of the ultimate cosmos they see themselves as a part of the divine – and people don't pray to themselves. Rather the appropriate spiritual expression is meditation in order to contemplate how to more effectively progress in life. How Would You Interact with God If You Were a Theist? Theists believe that there is a transcendent God who is an objective person and who created the material order (including humanity) for a reason. The typical understanding of God recognizes that he has done something to reveal his will and his ways to mankind, usually in the form of some kind of scripture or through some prophet. The typical response to all of this, by mankind, is to try and get a grasp of God's will and follow it. A part of that is to pray to God in order to acknowledge his presence and ask his favor. In most, though not all, forms of Theism, God is acknowledged as an objective person, though he is not seen to be personal in the sense that he forms an intimate and personal relationship with individual human beings. The Christian Faith and God Relational Revelation is a form of Theism, so there are some things that it will have in common with what has already been said above. As with all of the worldviews, though, Theism is a very broad category and cannot fully express the specific features of individual belief systems. As a result, if we are interested in how a particular faith system treats the topic of one's devotional life, we have to address that system specifically. In our case now, since we accept Relational Revelation (Biblical Christianity) as being "the Truth," we are particularly interested in knowing how that will be expressed in our own devotional life. First let's mention the things that are common with Theism in general. As with the Theistic explanation above, those who consider themselves to follow Relational Revelation believe that there is a transcendent God who is an objective person and who created the material order (including humanity) for a reason. We recognize that he has done something to reveal his will and his ways to mankind, and that revelation comes by means of his created order, the teachings that he gave through the writers of the Bible and his Holy Spirit. As with Theism in general, we also attempt to respond to this revelation by working to get a grasp of God's will and making our best effort to follow it. A part of that is to pray to God in order to acknowledge his presence and ask his favor. Now all of that is great as far as it goes, but there is one more thing that is essential to understand. In the case of Relational Revelation, God is understood to be personal in the sense that he created us for fellowship with himself. He has specifically revealed the way for that to happen and provided the means to accomplish it through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now, an intellectual understanding of that revelation is essential, but is not enough. We must also have an experiential understanding of it. In other words, we must actually establish the relationship and interact with God within it. This relationship is an actual objective reality in the same way as the relationships we have with other human beings. For some, this may seem a little strange since other human beings have a physical body and God doesn't. But a physical body is not the necessary ingredient for a relationship. If that were the case, we could have a relationship with a dead corpse. What we need to understand is that a relationship is a spiritual activity and occurs between the essential spirits of two individuals. As for ourselves, we are not physical beings who have a spirit. Rather, we are spiritual beings who have a body. Our essential spirit is the fundamental core of our personhood and when we relate with someone else, the essence of the relationship happens spirit to spirit, not body to body. (Continued on page 3) 2
(Continued from page 2) Perhaps you now see where this is going. The fact is, God is spirit. In fact, the reason we are spiritual beings is because God created us in his image. He put the elements of personhood in us – things such as free will, self-consciousness, creativity, analytical ability, and so on. We are persons because God is a person and created us in his image. As a result, it is possible for us to interact with God on that essential spiritual level. Certainly there are necessary differences because our human relationships operate within a material environment. But it is possible for us to actually communicate with God in an objective sense because he made us spiritual like himself. This means that when we pray, there is an actual communication taking place where information is being exchanged between ourselves and God. Since it is not being filtered through our physical senses, we must learn how to listen to God's communication through strictly spiritual channels. But make no mistake, an actual conversation between ourselves and God is possible, and is his desire. One more thing we must be aware of. Since it is possible for us to receive actual spiritual communication from the spiritual realm, we can also hear from Satan and his minions. Typically we refer to this as a "temptation," but it is nothing less than a spiritual communication designed to lead us away from God. As a result, it is essential that as we learn how to communicate with God, we must also learn how to discern which communication is from him and which is from Satan. This is what scripture is for. God's written revelation includes instructions related to how we make this distinction. Do It! The only thing left is to take the understanding, that we are able to intentionally and objectively communicate with God, then actually begin communicating. God created us for the purpose of relationship with himself. He provided the means which allows it to happen. And he has initiated the process. What remains is for us to make the decision to interact with him and to do it. When you figure this out, your devotional life will take on a level of meaning that before you could only dream about.

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ--(Marketwire - September 21, 2009) - TYRX, Inc., a leader in the
commercialization of implantable medical-pharmaceutical devices, will
present the first analyses of results from its AIGISRx Anti-Bacterial
Envelope Retrospective Registry during the Transcatheter Cardiovascular
Therapeutics (TCT 2009) meeting in San Francisco, CA.
AIGISRx is an anti-bacterial mesh envelope developed to deliver
anti-microbial agents that help provide protection against infections
associated with implanted pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators.
AIGISRx also securely holds a pacemaker (PM) or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (ICD) in order to create a stable environment when implanted
in the body.
During TCT 2009, a poster will be presented by Dr. Heather L. Bloom,
Assistant Professor of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine and
Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology Services, Atlanta VAMC.
The intent of the IRB-sanctioned, multi-centered, retrospective study is to
define the implant success rate and incidence of infection, in patients
implanted with cardiac rhythm management device (CRMD) and the AIGISRx.
As of August 2009, 478 patients from nine (9) contributing clinical sites
have been enrolled in the study with a > 99% success rate of CRMD
implantation. Of the 478 patients enrolled, 13 were excluded as they had
active or immediately preceding infection present. Of the remaining 465
patients, 318 with greater than or equal to 1 follow-up visit were
Dr. Dan Lerner, TYRX's Chief Medical Officer, noted that "when one looks at
the characteristics of the patients enrolled in the AIGISRx Retrospective
Registry (ARR) to-date, it is noteworthy that there is a high percentage of
patients who are, according to published studies, at high risk of
CRMD-related infections, with the majority of these patients undergoing
device revision."
When comparing the ARR ICD/CRT cohort to a comparable published control,
Gould et al, JAMA 2006, ICD Revisions, the crude major infection rate for
the AIGISRx cohort is 69% lower (1.88 v. 0.58). The hazard ratio derived
by comparing the Gould et al cohort to the ARR ICD/CRT cohort indicates
AIGISRx significantly reduced the risk for major CRMD infection by 84%
(6.14 v. 1.00)(p=0.04).
Dr. Heather Bloom, co-investigator and poster presenter, noted, "As a VA
physician, a significant portion of the patients referred to me for device
implantation have multiple risk factors for CRMD infection. I am excited
that the AIGISRx retrospective registry data demonstrates extremely low
rates of infection in patients with similar, very high risk, profiles.
Since infection carries such devastating consequences, the addition of a
new tool that is safe, easy to implant and effective represents huge
advancement in the CRM field."
"We are delighted these data indicate clinicians are using AIGISRx in the
full spectrum of CRMD implant procedures. In particular, it is gratifying
to see that AIGISRx is being used in patients who are at very high risk for
CRMD infection," added Bill Edelman, CEO of TYRX, Inc. "In addition to the
AIGISRx Retrospective Registry, we have begun the process of recruiting
approximately 20 clinical sites for the AIGISRx Prospective Registry, which
will follow AIGISRx patients for 12 months and compare the incidence of
infection to published historical and case-matched controls of cardiac
rhythm management device (CRMD) recipients. TYRX is committed to better
understanding how the AIGISRx envelope can help the greatest number of

"It has been our privilege to collaborate with the AHA to promote fiscal and physical health, and we are truly excited about this latest adventure," said Pierre P. Habis, Union Bank Consumer and Business Bank group head.
LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) September 15, 2015
Union Bank and the American Heart Association (AHA) Western States Affiliate will partner on a float in the 127th Rose Parade® on January 1, 2016. The float will be a celebration of 30 years of collaboration between Union Bank and the AHA, working together in the fight against heart disease and stroke, the nation's No. 1 and No. 5 killers, respectively. This marks the first time either Union Bank or the AHA has participated in the Rose Parade.
Fittingly, this year's theme for the parade, "Find Your Adventure," is aligned with the AHA and Union Bank's mission of building healthier lives through physical activity and healthy eating so people can enjoy more of life's precious moments and adventures. The bank supports the AHA's Life's Simple 7® as a good guide to follow: 1) don't smoke; 2) get active; 3) eat better; 4) maintain a healthy weight; 5) manage blood pressure; 6) control cholesterol; and 7) reduce blood sugar. A multitude of adventures await, for those who choose to live a healthy and fit lifestyle.
"It has been our privilege to collaborate with the AHA to promote fiscal and physical health, and we are truly excited about this latest adventure," said Pierre P.

We hope the message of living longer, healthier lives free of heart disease and stroke encourages everyone watching to seek their own healthy adventures."
Union Bank has supported the AHA in multiple areas, including raising millions of dollars on behalf of the organization and its mission. Over the last eight years alone, Union Bank and its employees, their families and friends, and customers have donated nearly $7 million in support of the AHA's critical research, education, and prevention programs.
"Union Bank has a remarkable and far-reaching impact on our lifesaving work," said American Heart Association Western States Affiliate Executive Vice President Kathy Rogers.

Sacked National Enquirer editor Paul Field has been hired as executive editor for a web project at The Mail on Sunday.
The Associated title is to follow its daily stablemate by integrating web journalists into the main newsroom.
Field, 34, is no stranger to the MoS — having worked as news editor on the title until 2003 when he left to join The Sun as associate editor (news).
He was headhunted in April last year to join National Enquirer publisher, American Media, where he cherrypicked 22 top Fleet Street journalists to help relaunch the paper.
But Field and many of his dream team were sacked in April this year after a disappointing sales performance.
He is expected to start at the MoS in the second week of August and will work on other special projects for the paper.

This is what it looks like:
It looks like chocolate, too! Lovely! And I happen to know that Cosmos are silly-easy to grow.
So, anybody who knows me and has followed my blogginess, knows that I adore chocolate (and wine, and brie). That same person (there may or may not be more than one of you) has probably wondered if there's a better decision to be made, when one is in a kerfuffle, than burying ones-self in chocolate. And, although I'm being coy, here, what I'm really trying to say, is that I've got a chocolate problem. A big one.
Well! Not any more! Day 78 of One Thousand Days, over-indulging in SMELLING chocolate, and LOOKING at chocolate can't be all that bad, can it? No. No it's not. I've decided, and I'm not running this one by Holly for approval.
And to top it off, as I was rabbiting down the rabbit hole of the internet, I discovered THE most delightful gardening site, Heavy Petal, with an amazing post about all kinds of chocolate flowers. Weeee!!
Andrea Bellamy, the genius behind Heavy Petal, posts about the West Coast garden, and lovingly highlights foodses, decor and other gardening delights (such as CHOCOLATE FLOWERS!) Take a peek. You'll like it!

Do you plan on working forever, or retire on your own terms? Perhaps with this economy, too many people may feel the first answer is a possibility. Nevertheless, American households have over $18 trillion in assets marked for retirement according to the Investment Company Institute. Private sector retirement savings plans (e.g. 401k, profit sharing, deferred compensation, IRAs, etc.) represent about half of that treasure chest. Following are some insights on the importance, trends and opportunities for private sector plans to better put things in your favor.
Private Retirement Plans Play a Greater Role
• They help Americans think and act for their personal financial security. Having the right investment options and making the right choices are important. Tax benefits enhance retirement savings. And businesses find them important in attracting and retaining employees.
• Social Security – It needs plenty of mending. Some can retire comfortably on SS benefits alone. Others require more. And the need for personal savings grows for higher earners/ lifestyles – and potentially for younger Americans. SS benefits are based on a formula (earnings, quarters covered, etc.). However, the higher your "earnings," the lower the projected SS benefits as a percentage of those "earnings." If you final monthly pay is $3k, your SS benefit will be about $950 or 48% of pay; if your pay is $8k, the SS benefit is about $2,200 or 27% of pay (note: many simplifying assumptions).
Trends (Source: ICI, and Profit Sharing/401k Council of America – Note: PSCA surveys reflect larger employer plans – e.g. average 12,000 participants per plan, 820 surveyed)
• Pensions from defined benefit and defined contribution plans make up a growing share of retiree income. In 1975, benefits from those two represented 19% of total retiree income on a per capita basis. By 2009, it had grown to 26%.
• Participation remains relatively high – 77% of eligible participants contributed in 2010
• Contributions – Company contributions to profit sharing plans averaged 6.8%, 2.3% to 401k's, and 4.6% to combination plans. Employee 401k contribution rates averaged about 6.8%.
• Other – Self directed plans offered an average of 18 fund choices. 45% offered Roth 401k after-tax contributions. And 42% offer automatic enrollment feature.
Opportunities to Improve Private Retirement Plans
• Education – Participants ought to know how much to save, not guess, for their retirement. Relevant guidance or advice in plain English would also help them make better investment choices.
• The Economy – An improving economy may bolster coverage, participation, and contributions (both company and employees). And the malaise may have shifted the attitudes toward risk – some participants may now be too conservative. Need to distinguish lower risk tolerance, vs. being smarter about risk management and achieving longer term retirement goals.
In summary, the payoffs from improvements in private retirement plans are huge. Participants have the benefits of greater financial security and less reliance on government programs. Employers might improve employee loyalty by enhancing financial literacy and planning resources. And the continuation of favorable tax treatment and increased contribution limits will help build a wealthier and more secure future.

The Death of a Corporation
One of the things that I end up talking about at the many companies is digital relevance. This is often paired with a very large elephant in the room that no one seems to want to talk about: the impact that an aging and change-reluctant workforce has on a company's ability to grow and adapt.
And, I'd like to do a bit of grounding here. People are always writing/talking about the Silicon Valley innovators: Apple, Amazon, Yahoo, Google, etc. These are no longer the new and innovative companies. They are the old guard; the well established enterprises where people park for decades to grow and evolve their career; these are also the companies struggling to keep their market share as startups nip away at their heels. So, where does that leave everyone else… the telcos? The banks? The decades old companies that existed before the onset of the internet? Remember Encyclopaedia Brittanica? Paper dictionaries?
Meet Company B. They are a traditional company with some of the typical struggles that you see in companies with captive technical departments. They have a workforce that consists of people who have been with the organization for decades. They are using antiquated technologies because of corporate mandate/regulation. Company security mandates have not given the workforce the opportunity to grow and evolve their own skill-set by using new tools.
It's not all doom and gloom for Company B: they are still able to communicate using older technologies picked by the company. But, unfortunately, hours in the day are lost to technical failures and connectivity struggles because the product they've purchased is difficult to use and tightly coupled with the code base.
Meet another company — Company E. Their internal security team has not updated their knowledge or skills in decades and because of this they are way behind the security curve. But rather than work to improve their knowledge and capabilities, their solution is to lock down the company and prevent anything "new" or "innovative" from entering the confines of the firewall.
With Company E, "new" means using tools like Gmail, Google search, maps, video communication, Google Drive, and websites like Facebook or Dropbox. In some cases they have formed partnerships with other monolithic organizations and as a part of this partnership they are required to keep tools built by competing companies off corporate machines.
The unfortunate thing here is that Google tools and Dropbox are neither new nor innovative — they are the bare minimum needed for people to collaborate and communicate with each other.
The biggest issue faced by Company B and Company E is that they don't realize there is a problem. From their perspective, their company is "solid," an industry pillar, and a great place to work. However, in retrospectives, team members constantly talk about faults in the corporate culture, the inability to get things done in a timely manner, finicky technical systems, and the extremely high turnover rate.
A new problem is an inability to hire millennials who look to Silicon Valley for guidance; and, the change makers in the millennial set won't put up with irrelevant and heavily political companies because this looks bad on their resume.
With the Googles and the Apples slurping up the best and the brightest, what is left behind? Change for the Company B and Company E's of the world at this point in their lifecycle is expensive and difficult. Also, in order for change to happen, the most difficult transformation of needs to occur: that of corporate culture. And, this is a messy, ugly, painful, sticky, gooey, explosive thing to do.
If any of the above sounds familiar to you, you are no longer digitally relevant.
The Lifecycle of a Corporation
When studying the philosophy of history, students learn that history can be either liner or cyclical. In the linear view, every person, society, and civilization follows the same path from birth to death. And, along the way there is a predicable set of stages that each experience.
Over the past two decades of working in technology, I've come to see the same stages in companies as the grow, evolve, and change. Every company follows a similar growth path, and if key risk areas along this growth path are ignored than the ultimate outcome is failure.
Stage 1: Beginning / Start-up
Marked by a period of chaos and lack of direction. This chaos can destroy a company before it even starts and is the reason why Forbes states that 90% of all startups fail; some exist in this uncertain state for years. The key to success at this stage is to find structure early so you can be prepared for the next stage.
Stage 2: Period of Rapid Growth
Almost inevitably, most startups who come out of their chaotic period enter into a rapid growth phase. The trigger that a company has moved from one to the other is growth that is difficult to keep up with. A company will make technical sacrifices in order to grow and build the capital needed to fund expansion. It's important at this point to slow down and be mindful of fixing technical debt, the "ilities", and invest in the technology that is being built/used. If not, this is the point where the seeds for frankensystems start to grow.
Meet Company L: an online clothing retailer that hit the Internet like a bolt of lightening. Their popularity forced the company to make quick technical choices that didn't scale with their growth. A few years later they found themselves in a position where their systems constantly slowed down or crashed during peak sales times; this damaged their reputation and their profits. When faced with a costly code re-write they chose to move their product to an external shopping cart provider, thus shutting down their development department and putting dozens of people out of work.
Unbeknownst to Company L, is they have only temporarily solved their growth problem; and, they are now at the mercy of an external provider who have their own maturity issues and technical struggles.
Stage 3: Balance and Stability
Companies that are able to manage rapid growth enter a period of stability; this is a desirable place for a company to be. It is marked by a loyal customer base, sustainable growth, and if the seeds of frankensystems were not planted in the previous stage, technical stability. During this phase it's important for companies to clear up technical debt, manage corporate bloat, evaluate the value of the items in their portfolio, and look to future lines of business. McKinsey's horizons model is important because it's the innovative 30% that becomes future lines of business.
A good example of a company in this phase is Google. They are stable, they have a loyal customer base, they have critical thinkers who can focus on "moonshots," and the recent switch to a holding company model (Alphabet) and management of their Alpha and Beta BETS set them up for valuable future lines of business.
But, Google is not without struggle; they are able to carry hidden bloat because of their financial stability and carefree culture. And, the never-ending war for talent in Silicon Valley makes it hard and expensive to maintain the innovative edge created by critical creative thinkers; also, Google technology is specific to Google so ramp up time is time consuming and when people leave they are hard to replace. People are their primary capital and because of this they dance on the line between balance and being too large to sustain.
Stage 4: Too Large to Sustain
If bloat continues and innovation stagnates to the point where companies start to lose their loyal customer base, the company starts the tragic slow-motion slide towards extinction.
Most times the slide starts because companies can no longer meet customer expectations. They are too far removed from their product and customers (due to bloat) to be effective. It's critical at this point to remove bloat and identify pockets of irrelevance. This is the type of organization that digital irrelevance thrives in. People will fight to maintain the status quo. In really toxic situations people will actively work to sabotage attempts at change. The biggest limitation for companies in this stage is the unwillingness of their own people to change.
Meet Company W. They have grown exponentially for years via a series of acquisitions. Because of this they have a mishmash of global offices, a large collection of duplicate product lines, and a variety of different corporate cultures. They recognize that this is no longer sustainable and the company has become so unwieldy that it's about to fall over.
This is the state in which a lot of corporations sit. As such, it's not game over for Company W. But recovery will be difficult and take strong leadership. This company needs to take stock of what they have and unify. It's critical for them to define their corporate goals, identify the value in their various lines of business, identify toxic areas within the organization, define / unify the culture, and control corporate bloat. If bloat is allowed to grow unchecked the company will continue to slip into decline.
Stage 5: Decline
Companies in decline struggle with their relevance. Their customer base is mainly captive, meaning there are no other market alternatives or they are trapped by contract. Companies in decline have no new lines of business coming through the pipeline. The corporate culture is toxic by nature because most innovative, creative thinkers have left. Those that remain hold on for dear life because they are technically irrelevant and obsolete in the market.
Companies are almost beyond help at this point. To turn things around you need strong, unstoppable leadership, and a mass extinction event to reset the culture. There needs to be an equally strong innovation that revives the product in the market. One of the hardest things to recover from in technology is a perceived market irrelevance. Just ask Microsoft and Yahoo, they have struggled in this state for years.
You've already met Company B above. This is a large corporation that's business is not related to technology but there is a huge technology component to what they do. They have a large number of in-house developers and an equally large number of employees who are not very technologically savvy. This corporation has built relationships with external and captive consultancies, agencies, and third party businesses who help them achieve their technical goals.
Company B has struggled to bring quality software to the market in a timely manner. It takes them years to plan products and even more time to implement. Software development practices are antiquated and focus on maintaining existing technology. Key people in management positions actively sabotage attempts at change.
Because the product development process is slow, key projects are often restructured, scrapped or abandoned. To make arbitrary timelines, innovative features are constantly thrown out or devalued without using a method to rank project priority or determine what brings the most value to the organization and the end user. By the time a product does reach the market, it is too late and not valuable or effective enough to enhance business or bring new clientele. What clientele they have are captive because they are unable to leave.
This company is free falling towards extinction. I've never consulted for a company that has been able to turn around from this point; in all cases we've walked away because even strong leadership is not enough to turn things around.
Stage 6: Extinction
This is the death of a company. It is no longer relevant or sustainable. This can happen silently (Encyclopedia Britannica) or in a very loud and public manner (Nortel, Blockbuster). Some companies get bought and cannibalized (Converse); others simply disappear into the annals of time.
What Can We Do?
The thing to note is that this is preventable. There are key moments in a company's lifecycle where decline is identifiable and can be prevented or mitigated. The focus early in the lifecycle should be on stability and the future; whereas the focus in later stages should be on minimizing waste/bloat and defining value in the current product portfolio.
Finally, focus throughout the entire lifecycle should always be on building and supporting great people. If you have an empowered, critical thinking, loyal people base then you will be able to evolve and adapt to any of the stages above. It's the collective brain power of these people that help minimize risk and bring you into the future.
The other thing that I've observed over time is that that state of the company is often matched by the state of the people. If a company starts to decline, then the people follow this path (or vv – it's difficult to tell which is the horse and which is the cart — and the two may be too tightly intertwined to decouple).
The secret sauce in every corporation is the relevance of the brain power of the people.

Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest (2010, 4AD) ♥♥♥½
-this falls into that hills-and-valleys category where there are 3-4 extraordinary songs that place Bradford ahead of anyone else mining this trippy, lo-fi, psyche-wave territory and then there are the missteps that make you wonder why everyone is on about this album in the first place-
Raised By Swans – No Ghostless Place (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥½
-at first this comes off as a little weak around the knees but there's fragile beauty in Eric Howden's voice rarely found in any music I've heard recently; fans of Headlights or Appleseed Cast could find themselves latching onto this-
Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010, Roc-A-Fella) ♥♥♥♥
-10 years from now this will undoubtedly be looked upon as one of the greatest hip-hop/rap efforts of all-time; its got the beats, hooks, guest spots from Rick Ross, John Jegend, Justin Vernon, a small enough amount of auto-tune to make it a non-topic and Ye's signature rhymes-
The Paddle Boat – I Wonder If The Water Ever Tires Of The Sea (2009, Single Screen) ♥♥♥
-an up-and-down adventure in quirky pop that teeters on the edge of chaos on a few cuts; includes a cover of 'Atoms For Peace' (Thom Yorke)-
Breathe Owl Breathe – Magic Central (2010, Hometapes) ♥♥♥½
-mope-folk with male/female harmonies that border on the divine; this LP plays out a lot like the latest Strand Of Oaks album actually and you can grab it on vibrant, pink vinyl direct from the label-
Sweet Lights – Sweet Lights (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥½
-former War On Drugs and Capitol Years member (quite the résumé) checks in with a solid cast of tunes with ample harmonies and hooks to keep things interesting; one of Philly's more memorable releases this year; RIYL Crooked Fingers–
Swans – My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky (2010, Young Gods) ♥♥♥
-as with almost every Swans release there's something creepy going on to set the mood, more like a haunting than a terrifying kind of creepy; with that said I'm not sure this LP will stay in rotation as its missing 'something'…though highlights like 'Jim' make a compelling case to stay-
Wild Nothing – Gemini (2010, Captured Tracks) ♥♥½
-love the sound/concept/hairstyle but I pretty much think this machine ran out of ideas about halfway through-
Beat Radio – Golden Age (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥♥
-this combines everything that was good about the halcyon days of slacker indie rock with modern post-electronic-pop vibes; RIYL Grandaddy–
Yair Yona – Remember (2010, Strange Attractors/Anova) ♥♥♥♥
-mood-setting, ragtime guitarist hailing from Israel paying direct homage to the likes of John Fahey and the late Jack Rose; there's a great bit of diversity here with strings, 12-string guitar, banjo etc.; Yair also runs the Small Town Romance blog–
Frankie Rose and The Outs – Frankie Rose and The Outs (2010, Slumberland) ♥♥♥
-Frankie has played in/with both the Vivian Girls and Dum Dum Girls and this is similar extension of those groups but perhaps a little more shoegaze than lo-fi; I can see this making more of an impact on me with each subsequent spin; RIYL Asobi Seksu–
Tobin Sprout – The Bluebirds Of Happiness Tried To Land On My Shoulder (2010, Moonflower) ♥♥½
-I spent a little extra time trying to get into this based on Tobin's past solo work and history with Guided By Voices but I fear may not be relating to this sort of sound anymore; hopefully it's just a rare stinker and not a sign of things to come-
Busses – Busses (2010, self-released) ♥♥½
-equal parts Dischord and post-punk-grunge from Philly trio showed promise but still has a way to go; other reviews only compared them to Robert Plant/Led Zep…not really-
S. Carey – All We Grow (2010, Jagjaguwar) ♥♥♥
-Sean is the current drummer for Bon Iver and it comes as no surprise that this ended up sounding like a less ambitious take on For Emma since a few of the tracks here are indeed pretty with woodwinds, piano sprinkled throughout and gorgeous enough harmonies to make Sufjan green with envy…but, sadly, most tracks end up going nowhere special when its all said and done-
Miniature Tigers – Fortress (2010, Modern Art) ♥♥♥½
-the MT's follow up their Weezer-influenced, catchy-as-all-get-out debut with a more subdued/realized collection of indie-pop with the standout tracks including a visit from chill-wave darling Neon Indian; RIYL Of Montreal–
Canasta – The Fakeout, The Tease and The Breather (2010, self-released) ♥♥
-perhaps this rating is a little harsher than it should be but there were some really painful AOR moments and not a whole lot of that 'edge' that you could find on this Chicago collective's earlier releases-
OOIOO – Armonico Hewa (2009, Thrill Jockey) ♥♥♥
-Japanese all-girl experimental twee-noise outfit that will draw immediate comparisons to Deerhoof though I'd consider OOIOO to be a little more playful with their vocal arrangements-
Tan Dollar – Change Your Mind EP (2010, BEKO-DSL) ♥♥½
-this time around we get bursts of fuzz-pop as opposed to the blissed-out haziness of their first couple of singles-
Marnie Stern – Marnie Stern (2010, Kill Rock Stars) ♥♥♥½
-equal parts melody and propulsive percussion/sonic guitar noodling propel Marnie into this year's best-of list; this is probably my favorite KRS release since the first Advantage LP; can't wait to work backwards through the catalog…-
Sharon Van Etten – Epic (2010, Ba Da Bing) ♥♥♥♥
-one of the more magical voices on the indie scene currently; Sharon saved the best for last as the final 3 tracks are as good a trio of songs as you'll find on any other album this year with 'Love More' being one of my favorite singles of 2010-
JEFF The Brotherhood – Heavy Days (2009, Infinity Cat) ♥♥♥½
-I knew this was going to stay in rotation when my GIRLFRIEND (The Litmus Test) queried 'what the hell is this we're listening to???-
Elsinore – Yes Yes Yes (2010, Parasol) ♥♥♥½
-this is probably one of the better power-pop releases I've heard all year with hooks abound; there are also a few glam moments as well as loud/soft indie cliche action that succeeds solely because it doesn't take itself too seriously-
Vulture Whale – Vulture Whale (2009, Skybucket) ♥♥♥
-garage rock 'n roll from Birmingham, AL that showed promise; they have a free EP for you to sample if you want to peep it without risk-
Golden Ages – Tradition (2010, Indiecater) ♥♥♥
-a swell mix of nu-tropicalia and glo-fi synth sounds that makes for a pleasant listen but needs a little extra something to separate it from this now-crowded sub-genre-
Laura Stevenson & The Cans – A Record (2010, Asian Man) ♥♥♥½
-an eclectic folk/indie-pop smorgasbord sprinkled with NMH-like burners ('Landslide') and acoustic reflective pieces accompanied by banjo and horns…this is an odd choice of release for Asian Man but hey, who's complaining?-
Now, Now (Every Children) – Neighbors EP (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥½
-very promising collective who recently changed their name to simply Now, Now; this EP is a perfect balance of celestial dream-pop and organic indie rock…looking forward to more-
The Clientele – Minotaur EP (2010, Merge) ♥♥♥½
-meant to be a stopgap to hold us over until the next full-length but this is almost as solid as any other release in the catalog outside of the out-of-place spoken word piece near the end of the EP; far better than 2009's Bonfires–
Flow Child – Spilt Buckets Of Street Light Onto The Dream Canvas (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥
-Montreal musician that mines the same territory as the above-reviewed Golden Ages–
Yellow Ostrich – Fade Cave EP (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥♥
-this guy is going to be huge, like ostrich eggs-
Junip – Fields (2010, Mute) ♥♥♥
-Sweden's José González pretty much guarantees a worthwhile listen but I'm inclined to side more with the hushed folk offered up by his solo projects rather than the groove-driven material on Fields; RIYL Loney, Dear–
København Store – Action, Please! (2008, 42) ♥♥♥½
-little-known indie-rock outfit from Italy that bookends this (their first LP proper) with 2 expansive barn-burning post-rock cuts-
Grinderman – Grinderman 2 (2010, Anti) ♥♥♥½
-hide your underage kids (and wives/girlfriend), another Grinderman record is afoot and it's a smidge better/louder/more polished than the first-
Mini-Beats – December 2010 – Edition 32
Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest (2010, 4AD) ♥♥♥½

About a month ago, I challenged you to a health and fitness challenge...Ultimately, I was challenging myself, but kidnapping you in the process. Anyways, it has been a while and I figured that maybe I should update you on my progress.
My progress has been...ugh...nothing at all. In fact, I ate cake and pies and all the butter-enriched holiday foods I could get my hands on. What was I thinking setting an impossible goal for myself?
I just love food! Why does it have to be so good?!
Food is a necessary evil...you have to eat to live...BUT you don't have to eat enjoy living...I think that is where the thin line is. My experience at LA Weightloss Center revealed several truths about woman in general...here are a few:
1. We reward ourselves with food.
2. We punish ourselves with food.
3. We comfort ourselves with food.
One time I received a phone call from a woman. The client on the other end felt desperate. She was at a work Christmas party and a plate of fudge was left on the corner of her desk. She called looking for someone to talk her into not eating a piece. She was practically crying! Now, I, as a counsellor, tried to level with her.
I told her, "move the plate"...
she said, "I can't. I will eat one."
I said, "have someone else take it away"...
she said, "but I want one"
I said, "Then have one!"...
she said "I won't be able to stop once I start"...
Now, I, as a woman, said in my head, "Woman, grow up!! It's just food! It's just fudge! Don't be so pathetic!" I really felt like I was talking her off the ledge if you know what I mean...
Anyways, my reason for the story is this....
EATING healthy in order to BE healthy is a must!! God gave us these bodies and we have to take care of them! Eating healthy and exercising consistently require DISCIPLINE!
Maybe I'm not like the woman on the phone...maybe not quite as desperate...but I do find myself somewhere in that category of complaining about my body, knowing there is a need to be healthy, and not doing what it takes to get me there.
This year, I desire to be more DISCIPLINED...not to look like a super model...to be healthy for myself and my family.

I like bad food. I'm not a glutton, but I like butter and chocolate and bread and all that good stuff (hungry yet?).ReplyDelete
I'm okay with eating it because I have a lot of activities (tennis and dance 2x week) which I've already talked about.
The thing about exercise to me is that I have to like it to do it. I love tennis and irish dancing and I look forward to it. The only other way I'd exercise is if I played video games while on the treadmill at the gym. Then I trick myself into liking it. (I don't belong to a gym but that is what I'd do if I did.)
If I ate better, I'd be skinnier, but it would be really torturous.
To sum it up: Finding some fun exercise is a great way to justify indulgent eating! :D
End of sermon.

The Dynaflox Doppler Ultrasonic flow meter is designed to measure volumetric flow of liquid within closed conduit, and is more suited to a certain amount of air bubbles or suspended solids in liquid.The suspended particles must reflect ultrasonic energy.
The Dynaflox flow meter operates by transmitting ultrasonic waves into the flow stream and measuring the frequency shift of the reflected wave. The meter's clamp-on design allows quick and low-cost installation, and eliminates worries of fluid compatibility and pressure head loss. With no moving parts, there is no mechanical wear, so repair kits or replacement parts are not needed.

Dirt In The Ground
There is a small airport just a few miles off of Highway 74 in North Carolina that has an airplane bone yard.
A bone yard is a place where old aircraft are taken when their useful life is over. They sit there until someone needs a used part and it is stripped off, returning like organic decay into the soil. So in a way, these inanimate birds face the same fate as their biological cousins. They deteriorate away until there is nothing left, when they just go to a scrap heap to be forgotten.
Whenever I visit this place, I am reminded of Tom Wait's 1992 record Bone Machine, a rather dark and hard edged piece of work. In particular the song Dirt in the Ground run through my head as I walk among the planes and imagine both the places they've been and where they'll ultimately end up.
What does it matter, a dream of love
The quill from a buzzard
Now the killer was smiling
Now Cain slew Abel

The inaugural FIFA Club World Championship is certainly not short of football's most precious commodity: goals.
The first ten matches have produced 36 goals, at a healthy average of 3.6 per match. And the figure could have been higher if the penalty-takers had been more successful, five spot-kicks having failed so far (all of them saved by the goalkeeper) with only one successful.
Madrid's Nicolas Anelka (even he missed a penalty against Corinthians) leads the goal-scorers with three goals, but his further participation in the tournament was cast into doubt when he limped out of the match against Raja Casablanca with a knee injury.
The glut of red cards in the Real Madrid-Raja game, plus another in that between Corinthians and Al-Nassr, took the total number of dismissals so far to seven.
The Championship has proved a big hit with the public in Brazil and elsewhere. "We're delighted with the way the tournament is going," said FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter. "It's not finished yet, but there are already reasons to be satisfied. But even when it's all over, we shall need to sit down and analyse it closely, to decide how to plan the future of this new event."

Inspiring children through art and creativity
Our mission: The New Children's Museum is a new model of children's museum whose mission is to stimulate imagination, creativity and critical thinking in children and families through inventive and engaging experiences with contemporary art.
Our vision: To address a critical need in our society and become a leader in engaging children through contemporary art in order to develop the skills needed for the 21st century.
We believe all children should have access to the creative process and arts of the highest quality. We provide free and discounted admission through ongoing public programs like "Check Out NCM" library memberships, Blue Star Museums and Kids Free October. We also provide group visits for many children and families from diverse communities throughout San Diego County through our Mass Creativity Program, Title 1 Access program, pARTners in Creativity and more.
We empower children to think, play and create.
We commission and collaborate with contemporary artists to create one-of-a-kind room-sized art installations. We are one of the few children's museums in the country doing this.
Art plays a critical role in a child's development.
Early childhood engagement with art results in lifelong involvement and appreciation for the arts. We help children develop critical skills to achieve success in the 21st century.
Play allows children to engage and interact.
Play helps develop imagination, dexterity as well as physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development, and it is through play that children engage and interact in the world around them.

All the hallmarks of the Ossett Brewery Pub Co. brand - the ornate bar, the trademark arch, the quality furnishings and tasteful decor - are much in evidence at this new flagship pub.
The Silver King offers drinkers and diners a traditional but stylish environment in which to enjoy the company's award-winning ale and excellent cuisine. The pub is bandit and TV-free and the little background music there is doesn't manage to spoil the relaxed ambiance.
Two distinct drinking areas make up the front rooms of the pub whilst the restaurant (or bistro) is in two rooms to the rear, with the old wash house conversion a particularly attractive place in which to eat. Daytime and evening menus are available and booking is recommended for the more popular nights of the week.
The place oozes quality craftsmanship throughout and has the real feel of a country inn where wooden and flagged flooring will allow for hiking boots and wet dogs in the very inclusive bar. A collection of old waiting-room style wall clocks is a particular favourite feature of mine and an old piano could lead to some rather interesting evenings!
The bar serves eight hand-pulled real ales with Ossett, Riverhead and Fernandes featuring prominently, as you would expect, alongside a Fullers (usually London Pride) and rotating guests.
To the rear a newly created furnished terrace can be accessed from the restaurant whilst a designated covered area for smokers is available by the back door. The car park can accommodate up to a dozen vehicles with a little thought but it is rather narrow so the street maybe a better bet.
More details can be found on the brewery's website or contact manageress Dawn Brook direct on 01924 273516. (map)

U.S. Protestant churches were growing rapidly and adopting a "muscular" Christianity of manliness, athleticism, teamwork, discipline, self-sacrifice and as one writer put it "the expulsion of all that is effeminate" that also sought to reach the unchurched, nationally and around the globe. However, the storm clouds of the U.S. Civil War split them.
In the North, most mainline Protestant denominations touched by Pietism—a German movement that emphasized personal transformation through spiritual rebirth and renewal, individual devotion and piety—supported Abraham Lincoln's Republican Party and urged prohibition of alcohol and social reforms. Revivals were halted during the war in the North, but in the South they flourished, especially within the Confederate Army.
Slavery supporters pointed to the New Testament Letter to Philemon, which Paul addressed to a Christian slave owner. The letter was carried by Onesimus, a runaway baptized by Paul and persuaded to return to slavery. Christians of the 19th century Confederacy saw this as biblical evidence of God's approval of slavery. But U.S. slavery was unlike any slave system of antiquity or even the 19th century, particularly in the degree of dehumanization of Africans kidnapped and sold as property on U.S. shores.
Moreover, Onesimus' initiation into the faith strongly suggests he was an unusual individual. The early Christians gathered in small secret cells under the pressure of persecution rarely welcomed slaves, for fear that they were spies. The letter makes plain that Philemon is to treat Onesimus like a brother in the faith; within the Church, Onesimus became a bishop, died a martyr and is revered as a saint in Orthodox Christianity. The epistle's message is clearly that the faith welcomes people of all stations, even slaves, as an extension of the Beatitudes' "blessed are the poor."
The Social Gospel
The social gospel movement applied Christian ethics to economic inequality, poverty, alcoholism, crime, racial tension, slums, poor sanitation, child labor, inadequate labor unions, poor schools and war. The term was first used by Charles Oliver Brown (1848-1941), who was a bugler in Sherman's army and later became a minister, but the movement's leading figures were Richard T. Ely, Josiah Strong, Washington Gladden and Walter Rauschenbusch. Toward the end of his life Rauschenbusch wrote A Theology for the Social Gospel, which sums up the broad ideas of the movement. He argued that a focus on personal sinfulness "has not evoked faith in the will and power of God to redeem the permanent institutions of human society from their inherited guilt of oppression and extortion."
By the 1870s women were leading figures, and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union mobilized a social crusade against liquor, pornography and prostitution and sparked the demand for woman suffrage. The WTCU, by the way, still exists.
The movement also gave rise to "settlement houses," such as Hull House in Chicago, run by Jane Addams, which helped the poor and immigrants with such services as day care, education and health care. The Young Men's Christian Association was started in the 1880s to help rural youth adjust to city life without losing their religion. It quickly became an institution of the social gospel movement, serving all needy youth and inspired such groups as the Methodist Epworth League and Lutheran Walther League.
A parallel 1880s offshoot, the Salvation Army, was founded in London's East End in 1865 by formerly Methodist Reform Church minister William Booth and his wife and rapidly crossed the Atlantic. It was modeled after the military, with its own flag and hymns whose words were often set to popular pub tunes. The evangelical London Missionary Society brought together Anglicans and Nonconformists for outreach to Africa and the South Pacific and inspired similar efforts across the Atlantic.
New religions
The period's religious effervescence also spawned unquestionably new religions that, like Mormonism, took Christianity as a starting point but wandered far afield.
The earliest of these and most closely related to Protestantism is the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which grew out of the Millerite, or Adventist, movement of the Second Awakening and was established in 1863. The denomination observes Saturday instead of Sunday, the day of Christ's resurrection, as the Sabbath, believes the Second Coming (or advent) of Jesus Christ is imminent and interprets the book of Revelation in a fairly rigid and unorthodox way. Particularly controversial is the place of founder Ellen G. White, who claimed visionary experiences and the role of prophet. Her Conflict of the Ages is essentially a paraphrase of the Bible in the purple prose typical of 19th century romanticism.
A similar group, the Jehovah's Witnesses, drew from the Second Awakening's millenarian leanings. It was founded in the 1870s by Charles Taze Russell. The Witnesses reject the trinity, immortality of the soul and eternal punishment, which they consider unscriptural. They pointedly reject celebrations of Christmas, Easter, birthdays and occasions they deem pagan and incompatible with their view of Christianity. They believe that the destruction of the present world, or Armageddon, is imminent and that only Revelation's 144,000 saved will survive final judgment—yet they have 8.3 million members worldwide today. Jehovah's Witnesses are best known for their door-to-door preaching, distribution of literature such as The Watchtower and Awake! and refusing military service and blood transfusions.
Other new religions of the period drew from the writings of Phineas Quimby (1802-1866), a philosopher, mesmerist and healer. He originated "New Thought" or "Higher Thought," which holds that an "Infinite Intelligence" (God) is everywhere, spirit is the totality of real things, true human selfhood is divine, divine thought is a force for good, sickness originates in the mind and "right thinking" has a healing effect.
Yes, you guessed it: New Thought inspired Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) to found Christian Science, which gained a national following. Through the sale of her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures as a holy book parallel to the Bible, Eddy became a multimillionaire.
Charles Fillmore (1854-1948) took a page from Eddy's playbook. After the alleged spiritually healing of his wife of then-incurable tuberculosis, the couple launched Unity, known informally as Unity Church. Their followers believe in the divinity of Jesus, but only in the sense that all humans are the children of God and share divine potential.
While all these effective departures from Christianity via Protestantism were taking place, a cross-denominational evangelical theological movement emerged in response to scientific developments that put to the test biblical passages concerning the origin of the world—humans in particular—and miracles. It adopted a literal and very strict reading of the Bible. While Liberal Protestantism and the modernists attempted to adapt, this new movement, which took some ideas from the First and Second Awakenings, fought back with new doctrinal interpretations of its own.
What came to be called Princeton Theology responded to modern criticism of the Bible by developing the doctrine of inerrancy starting in mid-century. Princeton Seminary theology professor Charles Hodge (1797-1878), among others, argued that the Bible was factual because God inspired or "breathed" exact thoughts into the biblical writers, citing 2 Timothy 3:16. Late in his career, his massive Systematic Theology explained that the Bible was divinely inspired, religiously authoritative and without error.
At more or less the same time, Dwight L. Moody made revivalism the centerpiece of his activities in Chicago by founding the Moody Bible Institute in the 1880s. With it began a series of Protestant evangelical nondenominational institutions that propounded similar methods and advanced similar ideas, as yet unsystematized.
The movement got its name well after the initial excitement died down. In 1910, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles began to publish a series of 90 essays written by 64 different authors, originally in a 12-volume set, called The Fundamentals: A Testimony To The Truth, later known as The Fundamentals. Sponsors subsidized free distribution of over 3 million volumes to clergy, laymen and libraries.
The work affirmed core conservative Protestant beliefs, particularly of the Reformed tradition, and defended against ideas deemed to oppose them. It is widely considered the foundation of modern Christian fundamentalism and the source of its most commonly cited beliefs:
- inerrancy of the Bible;
- literal truth of biblical accounts (especially miracles and creation);
- the virgin birth of Jesus;
- the bodily resurrection and physical return of Christ; and
- Christ's total atonement for others on the cross.
