Parables as Mind Openers
Dr. Tom Wright, the New Testament scholar, calls the parables of Jesus "open-ended stories" in his brilliant book, Jesus and the Victory of God. They are also stories of the coming Kingdom. In these teachings, he argues, Jesus does four things—he issues an invitation, a word of welcome, words of challenge, and words of decision and calling
Last week, during my Wednesday morning Bible study, I told about two kinds of thinking that we do about things that matter. One is convergent thinking—we move toward narrowin
g down to a solution, a focus, to eliminate the options and get to the core issue. It looks like this:
But there is also divergent thinking.It begins from a point, and drives us out into more and more possibilities. It "opens up" something else, like a brainstorm (even though a lot of brainstorm exercises are often more like a drizzle!). Instead of narrowing down, it widens our thoughts, deepens, and inspiration belongs here. It looks like this:
Both kinds of thinking are necessary for life. The parables brilliantly seem to do both—push us out into the kingdom, great thoughts, "opening up" as well as back to decision—"what must I do now that I have thought about this?" Over the season of Lent, beginning with Ash Wednesday communion tomorrow evening, we will look at and listen to Jesus speaking to us and teaching us—pushing our boundaries, but also calling us to new fixed points and hard decisions to be disciples. In the Tuesday luncheons and the Sunday worship all the way to Easter, Jesus will tell us, as my late friend John Claypool described them, "stories Jesus still tells us." Come gather round together, as the family tells the stories of Jesus, and as he invites us to new places in our lives.
One of the delightful gifts to Vickie and me in recent years is a little collection of hymn texts from our own Dr. Milburn Price based on the parables of Jesus. The idea was inspired when he wrote a hymn text for my 15th anniversary at the church (ten years ago!). What resulted was a lovely little book called Lord, May Our Hearts Be Fertile Ground: Singing a Response to the Parables. We will be actually singing some of these hymns Dr. Price wrote in our morning worship and at the luncheons. Copies will be available if you want one, and they will help to connect us to the stories as our thinking comes back from "opening up" to "making commitment" each week. It should be a time of reflection and joy!

I love the parables. I never tire of thinking about them. They challenge me, as stories always do, in a way that statistics and news reports never do. They open the world up, and open me up. There are about sixty parables of Jesus in all. They are still vital all these years later.
Down in Bethlehem
Today I am beginning a series of blogs about songs, more specifically songs I have written. I want to write a little about their "births," as for me, songs are like children, or at least like the ugly ash tray I made out of clay at camp. They are mine, they mean something to me, and I still love singing them. Today, I'll start with the first cut on my new album, "Down in Bethlehem." I actually came up with the idea while writing a sermon, I guess it was during Advent of 2015. It's a bit weird, really, to think of a third of humanity gathering every week to reflect on a two thousand year old set of texts, but in a time when we obsess over the latest thing, it's a little comforting to me that we can mull over the same writing again and again, and like some prism being slowly turned in daylight, new colors of insight come.
I was struck by the commonality of the major stories about Bethlehem, that of Ruth, a Moabite widow who came as a foreigner immigrating back to her husband's home' David, the youngest of eight, who was selected by the prophet Samuel to replace Saul as king, and Jesus, born to a young couple shrouded in unimportance. Again and again, in the Bible, God "chooses" to work with the "Most Likely Not to Be Chosen." First I wrote a short poem to use in the sermon, then was haunted by it until this song came.
I was thinking about U2, Springsteen, music that is simple, driving, repetitive and building over time. Brent Warren does some really fine electric guitar work on this cut. Take a listen and enjoy! BUY or listen to it here. It still is true, I believe, that hope is a powerful and inexplicable reality, one that rises up unexpectedly and in the most unpromising of moments. That is when I suspect God might be up to something. (see Ruth, 1 Samuel 16, Matthew 2 for the stories behind the song). I've posted the whole song on my website for a week or so. https://www.reverbnation.com/garyfurrmusic
Grace in An Ungrace World
Last week my wife and I attended the annual Tom and Marla Corts lecture at Samford University, where Philip Yancey was the speaker. To those outside the religious world, Yancey is one of those writers that reaches past the normal barriers to speak to the pain of a hurting world. He spoke from the substance of his newest book, which I bought and look forward to reading as soon as I can, entitled Vanishing Grace: What Ever Happened to the Good News?
Yancey writes in such an engaging, thoughtful and undefensive style that he touches those who wouldn't necessarily listen to preachers or go to churches. You know, people who like Jesus even if they don't especially like the church. He told us that his writing had circled around two main topics through the years: the question of suffering and the issue of grace. Last night we were treated to the latter. Of grace, he surveyed the present moment and lamented how little sense of embodied grace (my words) seem evident at present in our world. Yancey called it "an ungrace world." You know, only about power, winners and losers, unforgiveness and people unreconciled.
His largest question was, "Why doesn't the church look more like grace?" This, along with the hostility in the world at present between the major religions, has resulted in a growing negativity toward religion in general, and toward organized Christianity in the US in particular. This has been well-documented by the Pew Trust and others. The disconnect is deep and real, but perhaps not beyond hope, he suggested. The caricatures we haul around toward one another are not the truth, necessarily. But as far as evangelical Christians, whose stock has fallen the farthest, it might do well to enter a time of reflection. Besides the perplexity of the world about evangelicals' lockstep support of Donald Trump, a man whose entire life has so contradicted their own values, Yancey pointed to a deeper problem. People do not see the gracious, welcoming, boundary-breaching good news of Jesus of Nazareth in the church today. Too often what they see is legalism, disconnects from our own scripture, and a watering down of the gospel message into a bland pablum of politics and culture religion. What they need to see, he suggested, is Jesus.
Jesus' teachings, example, love and faithfulness stand as a powerful antidote to the lifeless imitations that pass for his gospel. The good word is that it has always been difficult to be a Christian. Our lack of historical awareness tends to obscure the magnitude of the challenge of the early Christians living their faith amid the culture of the Roman Empire, where infanticide, cruelty, moral depravity and oppression were widespread. Christians did not, by and large, wait for that culture to agree with it, but lived out its ethic like its Lord–practicing the love of enemies, peacemaking, love of the excluded and forgotten and offering a vision of a better life. People turned to Christianity, said Yancey, not from arguments about issues, but by the power of its persuasive ethic lived out in people.
It was a stirring presentation and reminder tome of an account I once read about the Methodist missionary E. Stanley Jones, a man of great intellect, sensitivity and compassion. He went to see Gandhi to ask him, "How can we make Christianity naturalized in India, not a foreign thing, identified with a foreign government and a foreign people, but a part of the national life of India and contributing its power to India's uplift?" And Gandhi responded: "First, I would suggest all of you Christians, missionaries and all, must begin to live more like Jesus Christ. Second, practice your religion without adulterating it or toning it down. Third, emphasize love and make it your working force, for love is central in Christianity. Fourth, study the non-Christian religions more sympathetically to find the good that is within them, in order to have a more sympathetic approach to the people." (Ezine article)
I have read those words a number of times through the years and thought about them. There is something so powerfully persuasive about love that anger can never match, no matter how forcefully it tries to shove its way forward. We have a need for deeper grace to one another, and maybe the place to begin for Christians is to ask ourselves, "How well do we understand our Founder, our texts, and its message, and how strongly do others see us practice it in love?"
I wonder.
In the Flesh: A Christmas Day Sermon
This is the sermon I preached this morning, Christmas Day 2016, at 10 am at Vestavia Hills Baptist Church, Birmingham, Alabama. Merry Christmas to all!
NRS John 1:. 14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth.
My nephew Aaron is a college student, all grown up and mature now, but when he was seven years old my sister Amy and her two boys accompanied her husband Chris on a business trip. On the way they incorporated a little vacation and stopped in Los Vegas. They went to the Hilton Hotel, which houses the world famous STAR TREK: THE EXPERIENCE
STAR TREK: The Experience is an interactive adventure based on the voyages of the most exciting futuristic television series of all time — Star Trek. Visitors are immersed in a futuristic world where they see, feel, and live the 24th century!
They walked in and her little boys were absolutely overwhelmed. They hadn't been there long when a huge man dressed as a Klingon came walking up. Now, I'm not a Star Trek fan, but many people are. Vickie never would permit us to watch anything on the television at our house involving mutants or creatures with things on their foreheads with our girls in the house, so I always waited until after bedtime to watch aliens and zombies and such. Take my word for it, though, a Klingon is an alien who looks pretty weird.
So anyway, this guy comes walking up, he's about seven feet tall with elevator platform boots on to make him taller and got that "rainy day mutant" look on his face, and he bends over to my terrified little nephews and says, "Where are YOU from, little boy?" And Aaron's trembling mouth drops open and he replies, "Earth!"
I sympathize. I have the same reaction when I think about Jesus arriving here. It's such a strange concept. Star Trek has created a whole universe out of our fascination with what's "out there." The original series began with the phrase describing the Starship Read the rest of this entry
Be Like The Samaritan
How providential that today's lectionary text is the story of the Good Samaritan and my children's sermon on the book Amazing Grace, about a little African American girl named Grace who is told that she cannot be Peter Pan in the class play because she's a girl and she's black. Thank you, God, for divine nudges to our hearts.
I am a long way from the events in Louisiana, Minnesota and Dallas, but I want to do something. I offer this prayer from my book, "A Prayer for Justice" POEMS, PRAYERS AND UNFINISHED PROMISES," p. 63. If you would like a copy of the book, I intend to give all that I receive from the book this week as a donation to the families of the slain officers in Dallas, and the two shootings in Baton Rouge and Minneapolis. To order go to my page on facebook. May the God who brings peace from all hate and pain bless all those hurting today and bring the justice that is blessing for all.
Mighty God,
Whose eyes see into our deepest motives
and whose justice is without exception in requirement,
we come as those who have tasted mercy
And now are asked to live it in truth—
People of forgiveness, in the sojourn to wholeness
And learning to live as real neighbors with one another.
Today we listen to what You ask of us all—
To love You truly and with all that we are
and to love our neighbors as ourselves
We need Your help
To see our neighbors, beyond our own self-preoccupation;
To hear cries of pain that are sometimes hidden
by respectability or ignorance or indifference
Make us people who do what is right
beyond what is required and in spite of what we fear.
A children's book of the Good Samaritan we read our children ended with Jesus saying to his hearers, "Be like this Samaritan." I want to help. I'm going to do what I can. I hope you will.
Questions: Sober Thoughts After Dallas
A reflection offered on Friday after the shootings in Louisiana, Minnesota, and Dallas, Texas. By Dr. Gary Furr.
Haven't we had enough of rage and death? Hasn't enough blood been shed to convince us that this is a way that leads down into a Pit from which there is no return, no hope, and no end? Is there no capacity for mutual respect left among us for our neighbor, friend, and even the stranger on the street?
Isn't common humanity, created by God, sufficient for respect? What have we not taught and lived for our children that our streets and systems well up with innocent blood? Is there no way back from the edge on which we balance perilously?
Is the stupidity and uselessness of killing not sufficiently clear to us as the worst way for a society to maintain itself? That we need more than fear and threat to abide together in peace? Is it not obvious that when we must sleep with a weapon under the bed, or in the car or on our hip to feel safe that we have lost our way?
When we see others as enemy rather than "my neighbor" and "the officer who is my friend" and "the man at our school everyone loves" isn't it clear that something terrible has happened to us? When we rage on social media and retweet and link and forward but do nothing to change the situation that we have done nothing and maybe made things worse?
Don't we know that "liking" a rant doesn't repair broken relationships? Isn't it time to see that nothing has really happened when we speak out, but that real change is something we do before it's too late? Haven't we had enough choosing of sides, blaming and finger pointing that lead to nothing?
Should we consider that nothing improves until each person in a free society accepts their responsibility for the mess? Is it possible that lawmakers and police and leaders and those in authority need the community as much as the community needs them?
Is there a way past the helpless resignation, blind rage and frustration to the better question, "so what should we do?" Isn't it in times when courage and involvement seem the most useless that they matter the most?
Just because I can't fix everything, am I excused from doing something to help? If I believe in prayer, really believe in it, should I not pray for my nation now more than ever, and listen for the answer God speaks?
Is it time to stop simply deploring our racial divide and meet neighbors and make friends, and go past our fears of others? Is there someone in my circle to whom I can reach out and know better and say, "I know we want better than this. Can we pray for one another?" Can I give to bury the dead, support the children left behind, work for a more just world, weep for the fallen and believe that it is not a waste of my time or the world's?
Do I believe, as a Christian, that the Jesus way really works? That endless forgiveness is more powerful than endless revenge? That the gospel is good news for all?
O Lord, my mind is so haunted with these questions today. I am so concerned for shedding of blood and the disrespect for life that is before my eyes. Help us, Lord, please. We need You. We need one another. And we need a wave of remorse, repentance, and renewal. These my questions I lay before You. Only You can help us answer. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Why Stories Matter
I see a dearth of storytelling power, almost an absence in our current public life. We have become a culture of three word slogans, name-calling, distortion and manipulation.
This summer, I decided to preach a series of sermons in dialogue with children's books. I heard another pastor last year at the Mercer Preaching Consultation in Chattanooga tell about the joy of doing such a series, and I wrote a note then that I wanted to try it.
I will have a Pastor's time with the children in every service, and we will read from a children's book. I will post top lists of books for children on our church website for parents, including a list from the New York Public Library list of the most read Read the rest of this entry
Another Day of Terror: Holy Week Reflection
I woke up to the bad news from Brussels, Belgium today. We are so numbed to the violence on our globe, we have to wonder about the ambivalent gift of "information." There is no time to digest, reflect, pray, consider. We are, instead, an endless echo of bad news cycles, compounded by the "unsocial media" that encourages the worst among us to speak loudly even if it is unworthy to hear. Here is the reflection I sent to my congregation today:
The recurring horror of terrorism is found in the terrorists themselves. They are, finally, demented haters of life, of humanity, of our collective existence—that is the essence of terrorists' acts. There is nothing in them but absolute despair of hope, and the desire to destroy it in all others for the sake of fantastic delusions of forcing the hand of the universe to bend to their will. There is nothing at the end of
their action except death and blood.
They are not new. Throughout all of history, they have killed, as governments and society seek to kill them in response. On and on the fatal disaster continues, hopelessly. It is into Holy Week that the latest delusion happens. In Brussels the fanatics strike civilization once more, convinced that they will prevail, and destined absolutely to fail.
Of all weeks, this one should comfort those who believe in Christ Jesus. Of all people, we began in a story of unjust death, amid terrorists who led people into the desert (Acts 21:38) and to the top of Masada only to die for nothing and their hopes dashed. Those who waved the palms would flee for their lives—and for what? The emptiness of a lost cause. Read the rest of this entry
Call and Response: Excerpt from Poems, Prayers and Unfinished Promises
In December, Mossy Creek Press released my new book, Poems, Prayers and Unfinished Promises. I have been so gratified by the readers' enthusiastic responses. From time to time, I want to share a few excerpts with readers. Since we are in the Lenten Season, I share this prayer, found on page 48:
A Prayer for the Beginning of Lent
As a Baptist kid in the South, I had never heard of Lent, but I understood "call and response" instinctively. Someone sings and you sing back to them. In southern gospel, it was often something the basses and altos did, little descants under the melody, like a man and woman when they really speak and hear each other's hearts. That's the Lenten journey to me—get quiet, listen and when you finally pick up the song, sing back. You really have to train your ear to hear it.
"By day the LORD commands his steadfast love and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. I say to God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk about mournfully because the enemy oppresses me?" As with a deadly wound in my body, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me continually, "Where is your God?" Why are you cast down, O my soul and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God." Psalm 42:8-11 NRSV
Our new book: Encountering God in the Prayers of Others
Encountering God in the Prayers of Others is
our latest collective effort. It springs from experience
in our spiritual lives of prayers
composed by others that have "spoken" to us.
The Trinity group is a self-named group of friends, all Ph.D. grads
in theology or closely related fields who have chosen to journey together theologically for 25 years. The group was initiated by our teacher-friend Fisher Humphreys. It includes missionaries, pastors, college and seminary professors and a chaplaincy supervisor.
Through the years, we have created a space, meeting once or twice a year for multiple days, to have intellectual, spiritual and theological freedom to read, study, comment, question and debate any subject together that interested or troubled us. The glory of such freedom has enhanced all of our lives.
One of our founders, Philip, died six years ago this March. He was the first close friend some of us had lost, and he was in so many ways a force and center of our group. His loss was enormous, but we carried on. That experience, of walking with a friend to his grave, literally in my own case, was profound. And it mirrors what happens in the theological journey—it is always, inevitably, personal at the same time that we seek the loftiest and most universal of vantage points from which to do theology.

The great ways, that Apple Watch can offer you to smartly watch your health progress, and analyse fitness results, to make a life full of health and fitness. And that all really matters a lot to your health and fitness concerns everyday are mentioned below..
More Smarter Way to Look at Health and Fitness:
In modern world fitness isn't just all about running a mile, or biking, or hitting the gym, or doing hard workouts all day long. Fitness is also lot about being active throughout the day. So Apple Watch will help you measure all the ways you move, like walking the dog, taking the stairs, or playing with your kids. And Apple Watch will always keep track of when you stand up, and even encourage you to keep moving on. Because it all counts, and it all adds up to your workouts.
Sit Less, Move More & Get Some Exercise with Activity App:
The Activity app will provide you a simple visual snapshot of all your daily activities, just with 3 rings telling you everything you need to know about any activity. The Stand ring will show you how often you've stood up to take a break from sitting. The Move ring will show you how many active calories you've burned today. And the Exercise ring will show you how many minutes of brisk activity you've completed today. And you goal would be to close each ring every day, so that you sit less, move more, and get some exercise with Activity App.
When You Stand:
Even if you're active part of the day, sitting too long has its own health risks. So Apple Watch senses when you stand and move just a bit and gives you credit. And if you've been sitting for almost an hour, it reminds you to get up. You close the Stand ring when you've stood and moved for at least one minute in 12 different hours during the day. It may sound like a small thing, but sitting less can improve your health in significant ways.
When You Move:
Each week, Apple Watch can suggest a new daily Move goal for how many active calories to burn each day, based on your recent history. You close the Move ring when you meet your personal active calorie burn goal for the day. You can also adjust the suggested goal, making it higher or lower, until it feels just right for you. By aiming for small improvements each week, you're more likely to make progress.
When You Exercise:
Any activity performed at the level of a brisk walk or above is considered exercise. And Apple Watch keeps track of how much you do each day, even when it's not in the context of a dedicated workout. You close the Exercise ring when you reach the globally recommended 30 minutes of exercise per day. And you don't even have to do it all at once, which means you're more likely to fit it into your day.

BENEFITING: Water For People

I met your Aunt in a way I won't forget. She was standing in your Mom's garden and I mistook her for your Mom. I yelled over "Hi Mrs. Mach" as I always do when I see your Mom out in the garden, she waved and said hello, but then all of a sudden another woman appeared looking so much alike, I went down to the garden and it was then that your Mom introduced me to her sister, we laughed as they looked so alike I couldn't tell, I am so happy I got the chance to meet her and say hello. 6 years ago

A man's prayer is always the lifting from 'grass to grace' never the other way round. This naturally, has made and is making too many Christian retarded in their thinking and lazy to work. The grass has got its benefits too. Don't forget, it is food for animals. And I've been taught the animals (ruminant) that feed on grass have a very special way of eating; the habit of not completely chewing the food but rather partially break it down and swallow and after a while, they settle down to chew (chewing the cud) before letting it back into the stomach for digestion.
What's my point? The grass experience is not a totally waste of time or period in the transit of life because, it is apparently necessary to sustain the grace and during the grass experience one learns:
Humility: Have you heard about humble beginnings? Yeah, you should have. It speaks alot about what an individual went through before climbing to the peak of success. And if that is not sustained, a different saying of "pride goeth before a fall" will be heard. Remember, Nebuchadnezzar was made to eat grass in Daniel 4 to humble him. Humility is a virtue best learned in one lowest point in life. God resist the proud and give grace to the humble James 4:6. You won't want that when grace begins to speak for you?
Ability to Ponder: Again, let me remind you of how the ruminant animal had to take time and settle down to chew their food again because it takes extra effort to get all of the nutrients from the food (grass) and for it to digest properly. During the grass phase, individual learn not to make decisions in haste but take time to think so that they can have a grasp of the needful.
To be Appreciative and Conserve: During the grass season, little things easily can make a difference and very much appreciated. Nothing goes to waste. The soup that's almost getting soured will be managed by putting potash to revive the taste. Blessed be God that makes all things beautiful in His time.
Let's leave it here for today. However, if you've ever passed through the grass to grace, don't forget all you learned and those that have been blessed and graceful favoured should not take it granted. It could only and will always be God.

How to Manage Diversity in Organizations
In the Bertrand and Mullainathan study of name-based discrimination, job applicants with "Black-sounding" names were granted interviews significantly fewer times than those with "White-sounding" names. Speculate on what might happen to a Black applicant who had a "White-sounding" name and was called for an interview. At what point(s) might prejudice eliminate the applicant from the selection process? What benefit(s) might accrue to such an applicant from being called for the interview? What are specific actions that organizations might do to reduce the likelihood of name-based discrimination in the selection process? How would they know if these steps were working?© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com August 18, 2018, 4:02 am ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
The Bertrand and Mullainathan study suggests that racial discrimination is still a prominent feature of the labor market. The study indicates that white names receive 50 percent more callbacks for interviews than the blacks. The study was also able to ensure to a large extent that the discrimination was due to the name and not due to any other factor .
At what point(s) might prejudice eliminate the applicant from the selection process?
Assuming that the black applicant who has a white sounding name is called for the interview . The prejudice would be maximum in the first 30 minutes , because of the influence of personal biases, first impressions and stereo typing. It is said that prejudices start to dissipate during an interview, after the first 30 minutes .
Prejudice may eliminate the applicant , at the following points :
1. At the start of the interview, the minute the interviewer sets eyes on him especially if the interviewer is white.
2. During the first 5 minutes, when the 'body language' and accent of the applicant sends a ' black' signal .
3. If the locality of the applicant comes up during the interview , the reply could send a negative signal.
4. If the family ...

We are content to offer an extensive choice of figure skates from Jackson, Riedell and Edea. Of course the toe-choose on figure skates creates its own challenge as an obstacle to sharpening and a modest challenge to the front of the rocker. They never make a pair of skates that will allow a novice to go out and land double axels. It calls for a significantly far more pronounced twisting motion to sharpen hockey skates. Bottom line: it requires ability and loads of practice to sharpen any skate, but figure skates are really slightly less complicated to sharpen when the abilities are honed and the sharpener understands the variables involved.
In reality, on the Coronation Ace there is a full inch behind the toe pick which you can not skate on without the need of the toe pick hitting the ice. These are usually sold for $200 to $500 and employed by at least one particular nearby sharpener focusing on the figure skate industry. The Dupliskate ruins the rocker on figure skates in a matter of just a few sharpenings due to it's continual stress on the blade.
I'm not positive where the idea came from that de-chromed portion (that much less shiny aspect) on a figure skate blade is there to gauge the rocker. I don't even own a cross grinder nor do I comprehend why some shops use them for every sharpening. While these goals are the same and the sharpening techniques are primarily the similar, the challenges are diverse. Strange as it appears, it is far more frequent for a hockey player to have an entire conversation about their depth of hollow and irrespective of whether they really should adjust it for the present ice circumstances than it is for a figure skater to even know what depth of hollow they favor.
Inexperienced sharpeners will round off the toe and heel of hockey skates more quickly, significantly altering the rocker of the blade. 1 issue with this beautification process is that chrome is prone to chipping when placed under the rigors of items such as sharpening and skating. Second, figure skaters look to have a greater level of confusion when it comes to the sharpening method, which is rather contrary to the reality they are generally far more conscious of their edges on the ice. The floor model machines from these three brands are all capable of delivering outstanding outcomes.
Nonetheless, the finish wheel sharpens much closer to the toe pick than the ice ever can reach. This is a leading loading machine developed for use in retailers had been there is no plan to ever have a skilled sharpening technician. Heck, my trainees get more practice in their very first month (long prior to they are allowed to touch any customer skates) than a most individuals sharpening at household most likely do in a year. As carbon steel is softer than stainless, creating a mirror smooth finish on a pair of figure skates is considerably less difficult than it is on hockey skates.

Scientists have spotted the stunning IC 342 spiral galaxy that is located in the constellation Camelopardalis, approximately 8.9 million light-years away.
The IC 342 a.k.a. UGC 2847, LEDA 13826 and Caldwell 5, was discovered in 1895 by British astronomer William Frederick Denning; however, it is obscured by dust. The galaxy is one of the brightest galaxies in the IC 342/Maffei group of galaxies.
Although IC 342 is bright, it sits near the equator of the Milky Way's galactic disc, where the sky is thick with glowing cosmic gas, bright stars, and dark, obscuring dust. The galaxy is difficult to spot as astronomers must gaze through a large amount of material contained within the Milky Way. As a result IC 342 is relatively difficult to spot and image, giving rise to its intriguing nickname: the 'Hidden Galaxy.'
In the Catalogue of Named Galaxies, IC 342 is called Stellivelatus Camelopardalis (star-veiled galaxy). The galaxy is very active, as indicated by the range of colors visible in this Hubble image, depicting the very central region of the galaxy. A beautiful mixture of hot, blue star-forming regions, redder, cooler regions of gas, and dark lanes of opaque dust can be seen, all swirling together around a bright core.
In 2003, astronomers confirmed this core to be a specific type of central region known as an HII nucleus — a name that indicates the presence of ionized hydrogen — that is likely to be creating many hot new stars. The color image of IC 342 was made from separate exposures taken in the visible and UV regions of the spectrum with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3).

No, your eyes are deceiving you. Commodore (as in Commdore Vic 20,C-64, Amiga) is bringing a Netbook to market. The UMMD 8010/F Netbook was shown off at IDF in Berlin. The specs sound familar to those following the scene (10 inch screen, camera, 1.6Ghz C7–M CPU, 80GB HD, 1GB of RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth optional) and the price is a bit on the high side for NetBooks at around $600. Maybe they are counting on a wave of nostalgia buying.

The Pacific Century Institute began in Louisville, Kentucky during the mid-1980s when the late Ronald D. McLaurin, Dr. Stephan Haggard, Dr. Chung-In Moon, Spencer H. Kim and Kenneth Tuggle held the initial organizational meeting with a vision toward improving international relations between countries and intercultural relations between the various inhabitants of the Pacific Rim region.
Louisville was clearly not part of the Pacific Rim region, but the organizers had a great interest in the region and understood that what happens in this part of the world impacts the rest of the globe. Several of the founders have now dispersed from Louisville to Southern California and Korea.
In the first years of PCI's existence, the founders worked to expand knowledge and dialogue about the Pacific Rim by supporting Asian studies programs at regional universities, disseminating over 200,000 Asian language books to universities and schools.
PCI incorporated as a non-profit organization in the early 90's and, funded by private contributions, since then it has been involved in a broad variety of activities designed to support its mission of promoting education, dialogue and research that will build a network of bridges of understanding that crisscross the Pacific Ocean.
Please look at our vision statement, mission statement, an programs to get an idea of PCI's activities.

The Brazil wonderkid did the famous Usain Bolt lightning pose after running down the sideline seconds after he scored a wonderfully struck free kick as Brazil defeated Belarus on Sunday helping the gold medal favorites to a 3-1 win.
It was foe Bolt, we did his celebration, the 20 year old said. Neymar has his own legion of fans showing up everywhere he was, but even before heading to the London games he had said he was hoping to meet his Idol, Bolt.
He was looking forward to get an autograph and a photo shot with the Jamaica, who will be competing in the Olympics later.
Isn't he just a nice kid?

Take Up Your Spiritual Tools, The Ones That Jesus Christ Showed Us Through His Life Example
Through the example of His Son, Jesus Christ, God has given to us the spiritual tools that are needed to resist Satan and his demons, and to discern the deception of evil. What are these?
Take a look:
The Armor of God
A true understanding of these spiritual tools comes from a life full of earthly anguish and battles of the human heart and mind, and a soul that has had the Holy Spirit planted within it. This is so important to understand because God says His Ways are not of the world's ways, but are beyond them. Jesus Christ showed us this through His Earthly Life and Death on the Cross, as the the Son of God. As a result, the Holy Bible has told us through many Scriptures, that God's Faithful will suffer in the earthly sense, so that we die of the ways of this world, and detach ourselves from valuing them, and finding God's Divine Laws of Love (ways of Unconditional Love, Mercy and Nonviolence) in the process of this earthly suffering, where such ways are unknown to the world. These tools are what Jesus Christ showed us, personally, while He roamed this earth, in how they can combat evil and its ways of deception from God's Divine Love, a love that we were meant and created to inherit.
We are to become broken vessels, in order to refine the souls within, to detach ourselves from the world and its ways. Can a soul take within it a home, care, money, clothes, toys, technology, accomplishments, reputations? NO. It is the flesh that made mankind to sin, on that day in the Garden of Eden, when the Satan as the serpant tempted Adam and Eve. God, the Father of Creation, gave us a soul and a mind to overthink and overfeel the demands of the human body. Satan and his demons can only control what it can manipulate with the human body, in order to mislead the soul that God, the Father of Creation, gave us to guard, that is within. It is these spiritual tools that Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, that keep us in tune with what God, the Father dictates through His Divine Laws of Love, which are the ways to His Eternal Kingdom. It is what keeps such a soul that is bound towards His Eternal Kingdom, inline with God and His Ways. Satan and his demons will try to make you feel like an outcast you, and make you feel all alone for not following the world and its way, because you are leaving their jurisdiction in being able to control you off of the path towards the Eternal Kingdom.
Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, suffered in His Earthly Life and Death on the Cross, for the sake of God's Love for Humanity. He did it to show us that He understands what we go through, while we roam this earth. He did it so that He can show us how to deal with the arrows of the evil one and his helpers, and to reconnect humanity to their direct link to God, the Father of Creation, which was once there, in the initial days of Adam and Eve. God never leaves His People clueless, or in the dark of His Ways. It is through the use of these spiritual tools that Jesus Christ, His Son, left humanity, that we are able to see them. It is through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that they will know of them, and will have a window to God's Eternal Wisdom. It is not a physical war that we, as humanity are in, it is a spiritual one. That is what controls the physical. If humanity values and is bound to the ways of this world, a world that God, the Father of Creation says His Ways are not a part of….a world to which His Son, Jesus Christ has shown a way of life that He, Himself did not conform to….this is what results in crimes against humanity that we see today…..world hunger, war, genocide, racial bias, etc. It is only through spiritual strength…not human strength, that we can achieve this….and we need to tap into the spiritual tools that Jesus Christ (Yeshuay, Yeshu Christu, Devum) left us, in His Life Example, and Death on the Cross, at Calvary.
Evil Will Try to Throw You Off the Path Towards The Eternal Kingdom
Those of us who have decided to walk the path towards the Eternal Kingdom, will know what I mean by the title of this entry. When God, the Father of Creation (Jehovah, Devum, Yahweh) has stated that His Ways are not of the world's way but are beyond them, He truly meant that. This is what He showed us through the Life Example and Death of His Son, Jesus Christ (Yeshuay, Yeshu Christu, Yeshua). God, the Father of Creation, has called all of His Chosen Children, that are bound toward the path toward the Eternal Kingdom, to follow His Divine Laws of Love, ways of Nonviolence, Unconditional Love, and Mercy, at all costs, even to the point of an earthly death. Those that are bound to this path, know that our time on this earth is limited, in comparison to the eternity given to the souls that are deep within us, as humanity.That is what sets us apart from any of God, the Father's creations….it is the soul that He has given us, to keep guard over. We know that there is more to life, than what we can see with our human eyes, hear with our human ears, smelling, tasting, and touching with our human nose, tongue, and our skin.
A heart that has been given the spark by God, and have truly seen and understood what Jesus Christ did on the Cross, on that day on Calvary, that spark will never die. That spark was put within such a heart because God, the Father, has seen fertile ground and a pure heart that He found worthy for the Holy Spirit to dwell within its soul. No matter how far Satan and his demons will try to throw such a heart and soul off the path towards the Eternal Kingdom, that spark will never die. Satan and his demons hate a heart and soul that hungers for God and His Divine Laws of Love. If you look at any saint, they all have had a life that was in the earthly sense considered that full of trial, devoid of earthly riches, and a soul that sticks out in the crowd. Such souls that are seek the Kingdom of God, the Father of Creation, will see that the ways of Jesus Christ, His Son, are ways that are not of this world, but are in accordance to the Divine Laws of Love, ways of the Eternal Kingdom. A Kingdom to which God has banned Satan and his demons, which is what makes such souls a target of his envy, for what he can never have again…..God's Unconditional Love, Peace, and Joy, and to sit in the very throne room of the Most High. So if he can never have it again, none of humanity (God's most prized creations) will ever see it or know of it.
However, that is the difference between those that are given the testimony within their hearts and souls. This testimony is what gives the human side of the heart and soul, the conviction to continue on with the supernatural path of the Eternal Kingdom of God, the Father of Creation. Despite the earthly circumstances that may surround such souls, God, continues to lead such souls that He set on Fire with the testimony that He had custom made for them, towards the Eternal Kingdom. However, just as He did for Job, and all of His Previous Saints that walked before us, God, never allows for evil to give us more than what we can handle. God, knows and trusts His Children such trials in order to refine their souls in the fires of the furnace, to the perfect diamonds that He created for them to be; to cut them off from the ways of this world, a world to which He states that His Ways are not a part of.
So through the trials, keep up the good fight. God sees it all, and will count every tear that is shed. He will count every drop of blood of His Innocent. He will count every sorrow, and see who caused them to you, on behalf of Satan and his demons, and will account for them on your behalf one day. Have faith that God, the Father loves you, just as Jesus Christ, His Son, showed us on that day on Calvary, on the Cross.
Being a Victim of Satan's Envy
As seekers on the path to God's Eternal Kingdom, we must remember that God says His Ways do not conform to the world's ways but are beyond them. So, if our lives focus and center around valuing the things of this world, we should seriously reconsider the path we are on, if we consider ourselves and God's Children. The Life Example that Jesus Christ (Yeshua, Yeshuay, Yeshu Christu) showed us while He roamed this earth, should show us what should be the focus of our lives, and how we should conduct ourselves. Granted because of our sinful human nature, this kind of a life is often very difficult for our weak human nature to conform to. Because of the sin introduced by Satan in the Garden of Eden, we are prone to going against the perfection to which God, the Father of Creation (Devum, Jehovah, Yahweh) created for us to be. This was Satan's gameplan from the very beginning to make God's most prized possessions to stray off of the path to the Eternal Kingdom, and to take away as many souls as he could from the Kingdom. He knew what he could never have again, and that is to sit in the Holy Presence of God, the Father of Creation, due to his sin, as Lucifer, of pride (of knowing that at one time he was God's highest ranked angel), vanity (of thinking that he could be equal to God), and envy (of Humanity being God's most prized creation, and possibly outranking him in the Eternal Kingdom); it ate him up so much that he took 1/3 of the angels from the Kingdom, and transformed into Satan.
We must remember that because we are called to be God's Children, we will always be the target of Satan and his demons. This is why we will endure extreme trials in our lives. For those who are stronger in their Walks on the Path to the Eternal Kingdom, the trials will be more severe, and even at times, as we have seen with our brothers and sisters in parts of the East, to the point of death. Jesus Christ (Yeshua, Yeshuay, Yeshu Christu) showed us that we should uphold God's Divine Laws of Love at all costs, even to the point of Death. Because even this earthly body can hold us captive to the sinful human nature. Those who are the path to God, sees right through the deception of evil, which are restricted to the ways of this world. Those who have understood Christ's Mission on the Cross, know that there is something more than the ways of this world; and that they will be the victims of Satan's envy.
So if you are "trial free" in your life; you should consider, is your spiritual journey truly on the right path? And if you have trials, you should consider, are they occurring because of your own choices or actions….or is it because of you truly following the path of the Divine Laws of Love, of the Eternal Kingdom. True, we are to be happy and at peace, but that is even during the chaos in the world; not because of earthly things, circumstances, and ways to bring such things to us. It means to unconditionally love, not to love based on the conditions of the circumstance, or to what is convenient. It is not greatness on this earth that we should be striving for, because God says His Ways are beyond the ways of this world. Satan will use any life circumstance and person, for his purpose, to take a Child of God off of the path of meeting Him, and entering into the Eternal Kingdom; because his realm is restricted to the ways of this world. He wants to bring so much affliction on God's Children in order for them to get just as angry at God, as he has; for them to give up the path to the Eternal Kingdom, so that they will not enter it, just like he can never do again. He wants you to feel that lack of peace and pain, of never meeting God, the Father of Creation, just like he does. He wants you to become so tired and weary of following the path to the Eternal Kingdom (because it would require for one to go against what is easy, and to travel a path not followed by many). He wants you to forget about God's Unconditional Love; and even for your to be too tired to take advantage of the direct link that Jesus Christ reestablished for Humanity by dying on the Cross, PRAYER. Satan destroyed it for a reason in the Garden of Eden (where Adam and Eve had a direct connection in communicating with God, with their sinless human nature); so that we will be lost forever; but Jesus Christ was able to connect us against through the shield He offered through the blood that He gave to cover our sins, if we chose to see what He did.
So, my brothers and sister, hold close guard over your souls. This is the one task that God gave us, once he breathed life into us. He gives us the choice everyday, for us to seek His Guidance in our daily lives, to help us protect our souls from being lost to the same Eternity that Satan and his demons have. We will have to endure earthly trials, and the closer we get in our paths, the more convicted we get in our walks to the Eternal Kingdom, the more sever our trials will get. Satan will not go after those that have already conformed to his ways; so no need for the trials. They are not a point of envy or a threat to his plan. He already has their souls. He wants to steal the souls that God already has called, and convicted to come to His Eternal Kingdom. We must put on the Armor of God everyday, and cover ourselves in the Shield of Protection that Jesus Christ (Yeshua, Yeshu Christu, Yeshuay) gave us through the shedding of His Blood on the Cross at Calvary, by being God's Sacrificial Lamb, to save Humanity….so that we can discern the deception of evil, and reach the Eternal Kingdom.

I really think you should take the Windows Phone challenge with one of these Nokia 900 phones. Make sure to REALLY give it a chance though too. WP7 is just FANTASTIC!
Leo, as a loyal listner I was disappointed when you brushed off a caller to tech guy a couple of shows ago, when they asked about the Nokia N9 — the meego harmattan Nokia phone, successor to the maemo N900. Awesome device, comparitively open developer friendly platform, lots of free software. Please, get yourself one!

Zero Four dance crew defends Taiwan's glory in Asian Battleground 2017!

Zero Four dance crew defends Taiwan's glory in Asian Battleground 2017!
Kuala Lumpur, 5 December 2017 – It was a night filled with excitement and jaw-dropping moves with 12 of Asia's best street dancers came together in Malaysia for a series of epic dance-off in the finale of Asian Battleground 2017, with Taiwan's Zero Four taking home the trophy as the Overall Champion and a whopping RM80,000 cash prize at Stadium Juara Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.
The competition kicked off with hosts, YouTube star Dennis Yin and social media sensation Jenn Chia introducing the teams to showcase their slickest choreography integrated with colourful cultural themes, all vying for the top 4 spots.
Nocturnal Dance Company (The Philippines) was the first team to qualify with 81.97 points, followed by The B.I.P's (Korea) who earned the overall highest score of 84.14 from their unique storytelling of Empress Myeongseong. India's Desi Hoppers' mesmerizing performance also secured them a spot with 81.29 points, while Zero Four who scored 79.83 managed to snatch the very last spot with their high-flying breakdance moves.
The Battle Round is where Zero Four fought back and shined the brightest, beating crowd favorite - Desi Hoppers in their first-round clash with their synchronized B-boy power moves. On the other hand, Nocturnal beat The B.I.P's to proceed to the Final Combat. Both Zero Four and Nocturnal gave the audience an explosive performance in their intense five round final battle, showing immense flair but the Taiwanese break dancers impressive moves proved to be too strong and lead them to success.
Zero Four hoisted the trophy and Taiwan's flag up high in celebration of victory. One of the members said, "We've trained and fought hard for this day, finally we can return home proud being the first team and country to have successful defended the title! The 2016 winners, Formosa Crew set the standard for us to go for nothing less."
He added that it was not an easy feat for Zero Four – originally a team of 8 members, they had only one week to rechoreograph everything following their team captain's bad ligament injury and his absence from the competition. "We didn't disappoint him (captain) and all our supporters back in Taiwan. We hope that this achievement will show the rest of the world what Taiwanese dancers are capable of."
The B.I.P's from Korea won the 'Best Showcase' award and RM30,000 cash prize for their stellar performance, landing the highest appraisal from judges to end the unforgettable night.
Other finalists were Elecoldxhot and Eagle Ace (Malaysia), ArtGee and Zeroback (Korea), Scrach Marcs (Singapore), Taiwan Waackers (Taiwan), Last Minutes Street Crew (Indonesia) and MBS (Japan).
The grand finals of Asian Battleground 2017 brought forward big names from the international dance scene, such as C. Hsiang, Taiwanese hip-hop choreographer; Firebac, popping maestro of Korea; Mari Koda, US-based Japanese choreographer who starred in the American movie series, Step Up; Keone & Mari, legendary dancing couple; Pacman, director and choreographer from the US, as well as Korean professional choreographer Coo Jerri.

I spent five years in the United States Army from 1969 to 1974. Two of those years were spent in Viet Nam assigned to a firebase near the (then) town of Ca Mau, but I traveled all over the Mekong Delta in IV Corps. I volunteered for, and was assigned, to the U. S. Army Security Agency (ASA), a branch of the National Security Agency (NSA), and I held a Top Secret Crypto clearance. My primary Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) was 98C – Traffic Analyst. I say primary, because I went through far more training in other courses and schools before going overseas. The traffic I analyzed and acted upon had nothing to do with cars or trucks. I wrote that so you know I have a good sense of what I'm about to suggest to you.
Intelligence is a process. It includes targeting, collecting, collating, analyzing, formulating, reporting, planning and action.
The most often heard phrase in that community is "actionable intelligence." That means "intelligence in which the confidence in its accuracy is so high, that you're willing to put American lives at risk."
As an analyst, that concept significantly affects the way you work.
It means that you put each one of the above steps in context. But, eventually, there comes a point in the process where you have to decide whether or not you have to present your findings, conclusions and recommendations to the people who make decisions.
I have lost sleep over those matters. In times when expediency counted, I spent hours worth of self-reflection and in discussions with other analysts on whether to present my work. Being wrong, or not presenting a well-thought-out case, is not something you want to do. At best, it costs credibility. At worst, it costs lives.
But, this is just a treasure hunt, isn't it? No lives at risk. No big price to be paid for a mistake in analysis and judgement.
So, what's my point?
As a result of our vlog, we have received "intelligence" on where we should consider conducting searches for the treasure. Nothing really firm, mind you – mostly strings of random ideas and attempts to weave them together into coherency. Certainly, in my opinion, not actionable.
That's my point.
We look at every one of our solutions we devise from the perspective of "would it pass the actionable intelligence" test? Could I present this solution to a group of people who have my best interest at heart, and expect them to, not only agree with my assessment, but, then, to take action on it?
Next time you find yourself in the midst of a "Beautiful Mind" attempt at determining where and how to finds Fenn's treasure, stop.
Ask yourself, "Is this good enough to present it to a group of people whose decisions based on my analysis will put lives at risk?"
I know. There are no American lives at risk. It's just a treasure hunt.
But, here's a fun way to look at it: let's say the treasure is a small nuclear device, and your job is to find it, and disarm it before it blows up part of the Rocky Mountains. How good would your solution to the nine clues be then?

GDPR Doesn't Mean You Need a New Database
by Ivan Wainewright on May 14, 2017 at 6:26 pm
Last week, Civil Society reported that "almost 40% of charities are considering reviewing their current CRM system with the launch of the FPS [and] GDPR." My message to such charities is: hang on, wait a minute, do you really need a new CRM system or fundraising database? Buying and implementing a new system is complicated, expensive and takes up plenty of your resources. So before you do that, there are a number of things you should do first:Talk to your current database supplier. This has to […]
Learning From How a Toyota Supplier Saved $1 million by Updating Its Tech Infrastructure
by Ivan Wainewright on April 24, 2017 at 11:28 am
My second post in an on-going series of blogs on lessons we can learn from commercial sector technology implementations.A recent article on TechRepublic shows how Toyota supplier, AW North Carolina (AWNC) spent $1.2m on new Cisco equipment, which has led to significant savings for them. Few charities will invest that amount in a new CRM system, but some of the approach which AWNC took provides us with very useful ideas for the benefits which charities may get from new CRM implementations, […]
What we can learn from large, failed IT Projects
by Ivan Wainewright on March 13, 2017 at 2:11 pm
This is the first blog I am planning in an occasional series on lessons we can learn – good and bad - from commercial/public sector system implementations; looking outside the charity sector for best practice and alternative approaches we might take. On Computing's website last week, there was an interesting article which says how "Accenture 'underestimated the complexity' of failed [£50m] national IT system for Police Scotland". Whilst this is clearly on a […]
What Small Charities Need to Know About CRM Systems – 2nd Version
by Ivan Wainewright on February 16, 2017 at 2:46 pm
I have updated my free ebook, What Small Charities Need to Know About CRM Systems. Buying a new CRM system or fundraising database can be a daunting experience for any NFP organisation, let alone a small charity. So although I publish a lot of information on my blog which I hope is useful for all charities, this book contains some points which I think smaller not-for-profit organisations need to particularly be aware of or specifically consider. As before, this book has been produced for […]
