Okay, I've been covering this story for a while on The Gospel Herald, but here is the story behind "The Interview".
1) The Interview is a film made by Sony Pictures with Seth Rogen and James Franco about two fake journalists that are on a secret mission to kill the North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un.
2) Sony Entertainment was hacked. Just like The Fappening and the Snappening, some info got out that shouldn't have. I'm talking private information.
3) The hacking was done by a group known as The Guardians of Peace. They sent a message out saying that "the movie" must be stopped, and it is implied that The Interview is the movie that they are referring to.
4) Some have said that North Korea is the one hacking Sony, and Sony has decided not to release The Interview.
5) People are upset because it looks like we gave into terrorists.
All right, this is where I really get mad. I don't know who would threaten to say, blow up a movie theater if they show a certain movie, but I'm assuming that they don't have the ability to blow up every theater showing The Interview. I mean, that has to be at least hundreds of theaters.
Also, I guarantee you that by telling people that you will kill them if they have the gaul to watch a movie will only enhance their curiosity. I'm sure that the sales of The Satanic Verses went up when the Ayatollah wanted Salman Rushdie dead.
Okay, I'm guessing that The Interview is an irreverent film, but it probably has a statement, right? Is it that we want Kim Jong-Un dead? I can understand why North Korea would be upset, but threats of any type are pretty much unjustified.
This is just the first time that I have heard a film being yanked because of threats. I would like to think that we don't respond to terrorists, but it feels like we have. But I'm not alone in this feeling, and I have a hunch that The Interview will be seen.

Well, it's more than half-way through May, so about time I get to this post, huh? Normally I do this at the beginning of the month but I guess I was busy moving! 😉
Here's what I've been up to lately.
Reading // For the Love by Jen Hatmaker. I haven't read any of her books before, but this one looked golden, and it is.
I started it on the flight to Hawaii and have been hooked ever since. I'm not in love with every part of her philosophy on life, but so so much of it is good and refreshing.
Loving // Hawaii, duh! Seriously, though. It's both different and so much more "normal," but also so much better than I thought it would be too.
To not have Hawaii take over this post, I'm sharing more of my thoughts on what it's really like living here so far Wednesday.
Not Loving // Anxiety. Oh, my goodness. I have always been prone to depression and anxiety, but I feel like I'm having the worst anxiety of my life right now. I think it's all been because of the move.
If you asked me if I felt really anxious or worried, I would honestly say no, but I'm having physical symptoms of anxiety all the time, specifically having a super hard time falling asleep and tightness in my throat. But then other times (like right now as I write this), I don't feel any anxiety at all. It really comes and goes.
I might share more about this soon, since I'm sure some of you can relate or have similar experiences.
Drinking // Macadamia coconut lattes galore. I'm adding this in this month because I think it'll be fun to see how my current drink changes over time.
And if it never changes from this amazing latte, I'd be okay with that. I'm resisting the urge to get one daily because, man, they are pricey around here!
Craving // A home to decorate. Less the home and more the ability to decorate, but you can't have one without the other! 😉
I've always lived in apartments and have never really felt like any place I've lived in the past five years has been "mine." I'm really looking forward to starting fresh with a place we will call home here. I hope I can be patient for it, but I want to go to TJ Maxx and buy all the things right now!
Have you guys seen these one room challenges?? I think I might hop on that bandwagon soon, not that I am any good at decorating!
Needing // To curb my eating a little. I don't think we're eating that unhealthy anymore, but I feel like I've overeating pretty easily. It's been difficult since some days we were out looking at houses all day, so we kind of skipped lunch. Then I want to snack ALL day long but also eat meals, which is not good. It's just kind of chaotic with an unpredictable schedule.
Putting off // Going on a run! I still haven't gone on a run here in Hawaii and I've lived here two weeks!
I have been doing Insanity workouts in my hotel room most mornings though and after that I am pooped. We are doing a lot of walking too, but I am feeling like such a slacker on the running front. Send me some motivation?
Praying about // The house hunting search, my anxiety/more trust in the Lord, specific mom friends and their situations, to have a more grace-centered attitude toward myself and others
Happy about // Really letting go of my body image issues lately. I thought that moving to a place where it's swimsuit season all year would send my already not great body image into the dumps, but it's done the opposite.
Everyone is in bikinis and newsflash – everyone is not a Victoria's Secret model!!! There are ALL types of bodies on the beach. It's really made me realize that the "beach body" type is not all that important. I have just felt so comfortable in my own skin.
I don't feel "thin" here at all, but feel happy anyway
I also feel like where I am postpartum and possibly approaching getting ready for baby number two later this year has helped a lot. I just can't live being hung up on not having the body I think I want. I want to want the body I have, so I have started loving it a lot more lately and it feels so good.
Looking forward to // Making friends here. I feel kind of stuck right now since I live in a hotel downtown and don't usually have our one car. I feel like I can't get connected yet.
I found a running group, but would have to drive to parks to meet up. I'm really looking forward to whenever we get a house so I can go to the library story time or join a mom group.
Questions for You:
- What are you reading, drinking, looking forward to?
- Have you ever had a major shift in your body image?

There are many similarities in language, grammar, mythology and philosophy of these two civilizations, such numbers' two δύο '(dva-) and' seven επτά '(sapta-), the adjectives' broad ευρύς' (uru-) and 'sweet ηδύς '(svādu-) etc. As regards the inclination of the names in the two languages have dual number, unlike other Indo-European languages not available. In philosophy, the Socratic Anaximander taught the Infinite as the first and ultimate strength (or Authority) and Xenophanes the one God who creates with his will alone, while in India the Upanishads are the supreme authority of the universe unlimited and unique spirit of Brahman the will which emanates or set up. And numerous other...
The world was one and it was a good sign for the future of man that, so early in history, Greek and Indian spirituality met and left such a favorable influence each other. The world today, as yesterday, requires the synthesis of both. The goods and the Wise not distinguish man from man, people by people. Citizens of the world are an example of WORLD BROTHERHOOD.
The search of the Elders of Eleatic School (Xenophanes, Parmenides, Zeno) to a reality that lies behind the material phenomena is much like the search for the visionaries of Upanishads for "that which when it becomes known, are all known." One can thus choose at random if the same sayings uttered by sages in all countries and at different times, to show that all of them belong to the same spiritual family. The performer of the Upanishads teach: "Realizing the Self» (atmaman viddhi) and Socrates said, "Know thyself."
Isokrates observes that "the Greek title belongs rather to those who share our culture than to those who have blood like us.". And Swami Vivekananda adds: "The Greeks may be foreigners, but those among them who have rooted their Wisdom is worthy of respect. When it comes to the Wisdom and the Divine, there is no distinction between compatriots and foreigners. "
Being the most eastern country of the Western Europe and due to its history, Greece was and continues to be a buffer as well as a bridge between the occidental and oriental cultures.
The Indo-Hellenic Society for Culture and Development (EL.IN.E.P.A.) is a civil, non-governmental and non- profit-making society that was founded in July 2003 with registration number 8591 at the Athens Court. The Society is administered by a Board of Directors consisting of nine members and has advisors and counselors.
The aim of the Society is the growth of the Indo-Hellenic educational, social, cultural and developmental co-operation resulting in the aesthetic, moral and intellectual uplift of the individual, development of the universal thought, transcultural dialogue and peaceful coexistence of the people. In order to fulfill the above objectives, the EL.IN.E.P.A. proceeds with the following activities:

– Organizes programs of classical, traditional and modern music performances.
– Organizes art exhibitions.
– Organizes cultural tours in Greece and India.

Hindi songs were presented as Greek (1950 - 1965)
Although the Indian literature has not translated enough to Greece, India is known to us for its rich poetic tradition (classic epic Mahabharata, 18 odes 100,000 couplets for each song - five times larger in area than the Divine Comedy - estimated as a very important asset of world poetry scene).
I feel that the perception of Western man, completely alien to the Asian temperament and psychic origins, is a powerful obstacle to an approach and deeper connection with this kind of poetry. Characteristic of these works is simplicity (inherent in the overall spirit of the Asian culture) and the unpretentious form, images of a lively nature and the constant conversation with the natural elements personified and converse giving the appropriate transcendental material. In younger poets, though, I see there is a marked departure from the classic structures and thematic and one can recognize them the rejuvenating trend of freer glance.
The Asian field is almost completely unknown, hiding countless treasures and lessons especially for us who inhabit modern stone jungle of globalization and migration and we must find common points of reference. Apart from the need for communication and mutual understanding, which are anyway essential, there is need for learning. The emerging East with the worsening contradictions, has much to contribute to the social cauldron, ready to explode.
A cultural "invasion" of India to Greece happened in the 15 years from 1950 to 1965, full of colors, dances, music and songs. The "Trojan Horse" was the Indian cinema, which won the Greek audience with melodramatic works, full of emotion, and filled the halls. Films like the musical "Barsaat" or "Awaara" (The bum of Mumbai) and "Mother India" (Earth soaked with sweat) and artists like Lata Mangeshkar, the Raj Kapoor and Nargis charmed Greeks.
Hundred films were presented in Greece, not always the best, with social, erotic, historical or mythological themes. The songs in Indian films were not interpreted by the same actors as believed, but by famous playback singers. Top among women were the singers Lata and Shamshad famous among men was Mukesh. The composers who dominated the soundtrack of Indian films was Naushad and Shankar - Jaikishan.
What the Greek spectators liked in most Indian films were their songs. This excited the business acumen of some popular Greek composers who remix or copied Indian songs with Greek lyrics and presented them as their own creations (officially recorded 108 songs). In this way the invasion of India and Greek music was inevitable. Surprisingly those songs throughout the Greek discography in the decades 1950-1960 although represent a small percentage of the total amount of the songs of this period became nonetheless over time, we might say, classic. They became some of the most representative "Greek" folk songs of that period. Famous examples: "This night remeinss", "my poor Heart," "A much you deserve ", etc., from singers like M. Angelopoulos, St. Kazantzidis, O. Panos, B. Palla, etc.
A book has recently released about "Indoprepon revelation (From India exoticism in folk muse Greek) / Helen Ambatzi - Manuel Tasoulas / Ed. Path and the CD:" The Indoprepi "-" The Homecoming of Mantoumpala "- "The Song of Nargis."
Here are 3 such indicative songs with elements for each authentic Indian song (title translation, film) and the corresponding Greek (title, "composer", year, performer).
As for modern Indian poetry many books of Indian poets were translated in Greek and published in Greece by many publishing houses. You can see some of these in the catalogue below for this year's period

England's Ridgeway National Trail Joins IAT
In January 2013, England's Ridgeway National Trail joined the International Appalachian Trail as "Britain's Oldest Road."
The 87 mile (139km) path crosses ancient landscapes on both sides of the River Thames, following the same route used since prehistoric times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers. It passes through two distinctive landscapes: the open downland to the west of the Thames within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the more gentle and wooded countryside of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east.
The route follows a chalk ridge cut in two at almost its mid-point by the Goring Gap through which the River Thames flows. The chalk started to form about 100 million years ago beneath the seas, and the landscape we now see began to take shape around 30 million years ago as Africa collided with Europe. This caused the rocks in this area of England, including the chalk, to tilt very slightly towards the southeast. The result of this is that the northern edge of the chalk drops down as a steep hill, or scarp, to flat valleys below, while the chalk plateau declines gently away to the south.
For at least 5,000 years, people - including drovers, traders and invaders - have walked or ridden The Ridgeway, part of a prehistoric track once stretching about 250 miles (400 km) from the Dorset coast to the Norfolk coast "Wash." It provided a high ground route for travellers, which was less wooded and drier than routes through the springline villages below.
New Stone Age men, the first farmers in Britain, left the earliest remains. Their long barrows can be found both west and east of the Thames. However it was Bronze Age people circa 2,000 BC who dragged the huge sarsen stones from the surrounding hills and formed the dramatic Avebury Circle. There are many of their round burial barrows along the length of the Trail.
Hill forts built during the Iron Age from about 500 BC until the Romans arrived in 43 AD are also found both sides of the Thames. These forts command the high ground and in several places they defended The Ridgeway against attack from the north.
Uffington Castle, one of several Iron Age hill forts along the The Ridgeway
In the Dark Ages The Ridgeway was a main route for the Saxons and Vikings, who fought many battles during their advances into Wessex. In medieval times it was drovers driving livestock from Wales and the West Country to the Home Counties, not armies, who used The Ridgeway.
Until the Enclosure Acts of 1750, The Ridgeway was a broad band of tracks along the crest of the downs, where travellers chose the driest or most convenient path. Afterwards its course and width was defined by the addition of earth banks and thorn hedges to prevent livestock from straying into the newly cultivated fields.
The Ridgeway route itself can be divided into six sections. The first, Overton Hill to Ogbourne St George, is 9.3 miles (14.8km) long and climbs gradually to Barbury Castle Iron Age fort.
Barbury Castle Iron Age Fort
Along this section there are small clumps of beech woodland planted by the Victorians as landscape features and to give sheep a little shelter. The countryside is a mixture of arable land changing colour with the seasons, and areas of sheep or cattle-grazed grassland. Some of the best views are from Smeathe's Ridge as you descend from Barbury Castle to Ogbourne St George. As well, the pretty village of Ogbourne St George in the valley of the River Og contains many lovely cottages, some of them built out of blocks of chalk with thatched roofs. It also has two pubs!
The second section of trail - from Ogbourne St George to Sparsholt Firs - is 16 miles (25.6km) long and is perhaps the most remote, with wonderful views and prehistoric monuments to enjoy. There's an initial fairly steep climb out of the Og Valley on a narrow, sunken, tree-lined track after which The Ridgeway remains reasonably level until the M4 is crossed. From there the Trail undulates fairly regularly making this a relatively strenuous section along a mostly hedge-lined track. This is a completely rural section where you'll find yourself mostly surrounded by large fields stretching into the distance, with crops, sheep, cattle and occasionally pigs.
After the crossing of the M4 small villages are strung out below to the north of The Ridgeway at the spring line where water seeps between different geological layers. Many of these settlements are worth a visit to enjoy the local vernacular architecture which includes cottages built from chalk blocks quarried from the downs.
The Sparsholt Firs to Streatley section is 17.4 miles (27.9km) long and is characterized by rolling open downland to the south, punctuated in places by small woodlands and fine views north into the Thames Valley. On a clear day you can see the hills in the distance behind which nestles Oxford, and further east, the Chiltern Hills through which The Ridgeway later travels. This is horse racing country, and an early riser will encounter strings of racehorses exercising on the numerous gallops, which are long ribbons of well-managed grass tracks adjacent to The Ridgeway.
On Horseback above Sparsholt
Section 4, Streatley to Watlington, is 15.3 miles (24.6km) long and includes water, woodlands and small villages. It contrasts considerably with the open and more remote countryside west of the River Thames, which is your companion for the first few miles as you pass through water meadows grazed by cattle and two lovely villages, South and North Stoke.
At the bridge separating Streatley and Goring-on-Thames, The Ridgeway crosses the Thames Path National Trail following the opposite bank of the river. Heading east it follows a narrow secluded path alongside an ancient Grim's Ditch, much of it surrounded by woodland carpeted with bluebells and wood anemones during spring.
From the village of Nuffield you turn north and soon reach the small hamlet of Swyncombe, an area which is probably one of the remotest and loveliest parts of the Chilterns. Here, the small flint church of St Botolph's has been beautifully restored. Descending from Swyncombe to near the base of the scarp, The Ridgeway picks up the Upper Icknield Way and follows this broad hedge-lined track for the remaining couple of miles to Watlington.
St Botolph's Church at Swyncombe
The Watlington to Wendover section is 17 miles (27.2km) long and is dominated by fine beech woodlands for which the Chilterns are justly famous. This section is the most undulating with several climbs in and out of valleys and is therefore the most strenuous part of The Ridgeway, but being southern England it's not that tough!
It starts out gently enough, with a few miles on the level broad track of the ancient Icknield Way at the bottom edge of the Chilterns scarp. Along this section it crosses the M40 via an underpass where the motorway slices through the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve in a deep cutting. After it leaves the Icknield Way, The Ridgeway strikes across fields and over Lodge Hill to Princes Risborough. From there the terrain starts seriously to undulate as the Trail climbs in and out of valleys before finally descending to the small attractive town of Wendover.
Section 6, Wendover to Ivinghoe Beacon, is 11.8 miles (18.8km) long and is the most wooded of all The Ridgeway. Here you're deep within the Chiltern Hills, justly renowned for its wooded landscape which looks particularly spectacular at the end of October and early November, when autumn colours are at their best.
Chiltern Woodland
However the last couple of miles are a complete contrast, with open landscape reminiscent of the rolling downlands west of the River Thames. As you descend from Wigginton, first you reach the busy A41 trunk road, but you cross it high above on a footbridge built specially for the The Ridgeway. Next comes the Grand Union Canal, once a thriving commercial waterway but nowadays primarily a peaceful recreational route for boaters and walkers, then finally the railway at Tring Station.
Grand Union Canal
The last few miles are delightful. After Tring Station you'll pass through Duchies Piece Nature Reserve and Aldbury Nowers Wood before emerging onto Pitstone Hill, where in good weather the views of the rest of your journey to Ivinghoe Beacon are outstanding. From here The Ridgeway undulates for the next two miles until the final climb to the top of Beacon Hill itself. Managed by the National Trust as part of its Ashridge Estate, this is a splendid place to finish and to savour the views of the Vale of Aylesbury, or to look back from where you have come!

A little Nanook before Christmas…
Aside Posted on
It seemed only right that at some point, a pop-up cinema specialising in documentaries should screen "the first ever documentary film" : NANOOK OF THE NORTH.
Although made in 1922, the film feels far from stale. It still had our audience laughing and gasping at this incredible story. There was much discussion afterwards about how Flaherty would have managed to film under such difficult conditions. Researching further I was shocked to discover just how much equipment he did carry with him. In HOW I FILMED NANOOK OF THE NORTH (1922), Robert Flaherty writes:
"My equipment included 75,000 feet of film, a Haulberg electric light plant and projector and two Akeley cameras and a printing machine so that I could make prints of film as it was exposed and project the pictures on the screen so that thereby the Eskimo would be able to see and understand wherever mistakes were made."
The first scene that Flaherty showed Nanook and the others was the dramatic Walrus hunt footage:
"Our boat, laden with walrus meat and ivory- it was a happy crew that took me back to the Post, where Nanook and his fellows were hailed with much acclaim. I lost no time in developing and printing the film. That walrus fight was the first film these Eskimo had ever seen and, in the language of the trade, it was a "knock-out.""
Its a fantastic scene – and interesting to discover that it was enjoyed by the Innuits themselves as much as by us.
The Pop Up Docs screening of NANOOK turned out to be a great film made better by a fantastic intimate venue that is 44AD. Thanks to all at 44AD for the space – and to FAB for their audio expertise!

Why is it so important to stay hydrated?
Water is essential for life. In all honesty, it is much more important than food. A human can survive only three days without water and yet up to three weeks without food! Our bodies are made up of greater than 60% water. We need water!! Our cells require water to function. Globally water allows us to absorb nutrients and rid our bodies of impurities. Most often, people who crave food are often times dehydrated which can lead to over consumption. Bob Harper, trainer on the Biggest Loser, recommends drinking a glass of water before every meal. Since our brain alone is more than 70% water, staying hydrated helps us perform not only physically but also mentally. And think of the effects on your skin! I think about my worn-out body after a BarreAmped work out. I'm always sooooo thirsty. After the strain I put my muscles through they absolutely deserve a cleansing bath of sorts. And the satisfaction of drinking a cold glass of water simply cannot be replaced. Nothing is more refreshing!
Why do "they" tell you to drink 8 glass of water a day?
Training in the sciences, I once has the opportunity to ask a kidney scientist this question. He was adamant about how during dieting it is just to fill up your stomach so you are less full. It makes sense but in light of the requirement for water for our daily life I began to wonder what it would be like to fulfill that 8 glass suggestion. I started with the fitness tracker app MyFitnessPal. You can get it on your phone or use the program on the computer but essentially it is an awesome way to track what you eat. And also drink! For the past four days I've been tracking my meals and water consumption.
As you can see from this screen shot, my water consumption was way low that day but a tracker like this allows you to be brutally honest with yourself and your intake. You quickly verify or deny your previously assumed "healthy" lifestyle. My blogging friend Danielle @ Butler Party of Two drinks about a gallon of water a day. Her blog has encouraged me to start the day by drinking an entire glass of water with or without lemon in it to rehydrate and get my system going.
I've noticed that with more water, I want coffee and caffiene less. I feel more alert and alive! And I love the perks of helping my kidneys to flush out my body as well as improve my skin. I haven't really noticed if increasing my water consumption results in less calories eaten so I am unable to speak to that. My favorite aspect of water and weight tracking is to see the data at the end of the day. It is super fun, for me, to track my water especially at work on MyFitnessPal. There is something gratifying about advancing that little button after every glass! I highly recommend you try it!
On a second note, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of the friends and families met by the Boston Marathon bombing yesterday. Leave it up to Mr. Rogers to have some wisdom in times like these.

It is weird to think that the bad in the world allows us to see the "good." You cannot have the Yin without the Yang but it is unfortunate that bad things have to happen in order for the good in others to be seen by the world.

Today is my birthday. As of 8:44 a.m., I crossed the mid-twenties threshold and officially became 26. And all of this aging makes me contemplate a serious question: what is a grown up?
What is being an adult? Who's grown up? When we're little, we can't wait until we're grown ups and we can do whatever we want. And when we're grown up, we miss the days of being young when we could do whatever we want.
As a grown-up, I feel like life has kicked me around. But then life seems to generally kick everyone around. I haven't stayed down yet, so I must have developed some kind of resiliency. I feel like the past two years of my life have been the biggest grown-up learning curve I've encountered yet. So does being a grown-up mean you take life's beatings but still get back up?
As a grown-up, I frequently feel lost. About important adult issues, like jobs, money, and relationships. I feel like being a grown up means being uncertain about everything. I feel like true certainty is so fleeting, that I can count on one hand the number of times I've truly known I was making the right decision for myself. There's such a peace that comes from knowing you're doing the right thing. But then I look at those things closer, and while the big picture is overwhelming, the details look pretty good. I'm happy with my job, I make enough money to cover all my bills and still have some left over for other things (which is more than I can say about last year), and my relationships are mostly all doing well. So is being a grown-up learning to appreciate the details without stressing over the big picture?
As a grown up, I'm worried I'm never going to find what I'm looking for. Because I don't even know what I'm looking for. I don't even feel like I can get close enough to be able to define what it is I'm looking for. But is being a grown-up spending my entire life searching for this answer, an answer I definitely don't have to know at 26?
So far, it feels like being an adult, at least an adult in your 20's, means not really having any answers.
(My blog titles are song titles. "Careless Whisper" by Wham! was the #1 song of 1985, the year of my birth. This post took a bit of a somber turn, so I'm embedding a YouTube video to cheer you up. You could also check out Cake Wrecks for a laugh or two.)

Tanya Seamans
Editorial Assistant
Tanya Seamans joined the PSG team in the summer of 2015 after completing her first year of graduate school at Emerson College, where she is pursuing a master's degree in Publishing & Writing. An alumna of Providence College—from which she graduated magna cum laude with a double major in English and psychology—Tanya stayed near her home state of Massachusetts for school but ventured abroad to Scotland during her junior year.
Possessing both a lifelong love of reading and a BA in English, publishing is an obvious career path for Tanya. She has a strong background in leadership and education, as she was a resident assistant during college and now serves as a substitute teacher in the Middleboro Public Schools—both of which are jobs that have taught her to adapt quickly and to think on her feet. PSG is her first professional taste of publishing, and she is excited to work in an environment where she will learn important skills and her contributions will be valued. Tanya aspires to be a senior editor at a trade publishing house in the future and believes that interning at PSG this summer will put her on the path to achieving this goal.
Empathetic and idea-oriented, Tanya's enthusiasm is palpable. She is a voracious reader and a devoted Harry Potter fan—she credits the series for being a defining factor in her life and is a whiz at Harry Potter trivia. She is likewise a staunch devotee of Jane Austen and enjoys perusing BuzzFeed in her free time.
Tanya has participated in a significant amount of volunteer work to benefit children both abroad and close to home; she developed her interpersonal skills as a student fundraiser during college. Tanya enjoys working in fast-paced environments with people who are just as driven as she is, and she looks forward to continuing to dedicate her skills to PSG.

CAIRO—The video looks hard to distinguish from the ones filmed in Syria and Iraq. Islamic State gunmen arrive in a fleet of pickup trucks, set up checkpoints on a busy highway and start hauling away suspected collaborators with the "apostate" government. It ends, predictably, with forced confessions and gruesome, close-up shots of killings.

The Coptic Church's recent involvement in politics in Egypt has harmed both the Church and the country's Christian community.
For decades, the Church was close to the regime and served as the sole political voice of Egypt's Coptic community, the country's largest religious minority. But with the ouster of former president Hosni Mubarak, that voice became fragmented, as Cop ...

Real Estate Agent Commissions Structure and Compensation
In this profile of real estate agent commissions, I explained the basic compensation model used for most real estate brokerages, and for most of the history of the business. The basic model hasn't changed in format at all:
- Using an example deal with a home sold for $200,000 and a 5.5% example commission agreed to by seller with the listing broker
- $200,000 X .055 = $11,000 full commission.
- Assuming no referral fee payouts and a 50% split offered in the MLS, the listing broker keeps 50%, or $5500.
- The same situation would mean that the broker on the buyer side would get $5500.
- Splits between brokers and agents vary a lot, but assuming a commonly used 50% number, agents at the two brokerages would get half the commissions, or $2750 each.
The example is the basic and simple approach and still used with varying split percentages by the vast majority of real estate brokerages. The split offered in the MLS, meaning the percentage the listing broker will share with the brokerage bringing the buyer, is pretty uniform at 50%. But, the splits at brokerages between the broker and the agent are highly variable, and can be set up in a number of ways:
- Newer agents might be given smaller percentages to offset greater help they need in getting deals to closing.
- Top producers often can negotiate larger splits for themselves, including splits up to 90% in some cases.
- Especially with the top producers, there may be negotiated higher splits in return for less advertising or fewer support services provided by the brokerage.
- 100% commission models offer the agent all of the commission in exchange for monthly fees for desk space, advertising and other services.
- Tiered split structures offer lower splits until a certain dollar amount in commissions is reached, then the split to the agent increases, sometimes jumping to 100% immediately.
As independent contractors in the commissioned sales business model, the agent handles their own accounting and business, though the brokerage may pay to advertise agent listings or split ad costs depending on the independent contractor agreement with the agent. While this is by far the model most used in the business, it has its critics. Criticism frequently centers around the lack of training and money spent by brokerages for agent development. It's a business model that makes it relatively inexpensive for a brokerage to take on newly licensed agents, letting them make or break in the business with little cost to the broker.
Those who criticize this model also state that this lack of financial support and limited expense for training leaves new agents focused heavily on getting a deal and a commission, and less on learning more and serving clients better.
The Internet has opened up the information box for real estate, with plenty of sites where consumers can search for listed properties. The Internet user can also locate discount real estate brokerages offering everything from straight discounts to rebates for sellers and buyers. Of course, this increased competition creates downward pressure on commissions, and some companies have begun to offer salaried positions to agents.
Salaries can be a straight dollar amount, or there can be incentives for customer satisfaction, usually verified by some kind of customer survey after the transaction closes. Other brokerages offer base salaries and a small bonus from each closing. These compensation models tend to help the real estate professional to develop a more consumer-focused service attitude, as there is less pressure to get a deal and commission to keep the home bills paid. Of course, the broker needs deep enough pockets to pay salaries through slower business periods.
And, there will be more pressure from the broker to get deals into the pipeline, as money is going out every month for a salary.
There is a "consulting" business model out there, but it has struggled to gain a foothold in the marketplace. One reason is that an agent must have the approval of the broker to engage in services for flat fees or hourly compensation. It may be against some state rules, but it is more about it being tough for an agent to get a broker to agree to this model unless the agent is already successful. The consulting business model is more prevalent in brokerages with just one owner/practitioner. Or, the owner uses this model, and is willing to take on agents and base the brokerage business on consulting and innovative consumer pricing models.
For the new agent, or someone looking at real estate as a career, it's still pretty much a commission ballgame. Success generally requires some money put aside to pay household bills during the period when the business is being learned and the deals are few and far between.

News & Events:
On June 13th it was announced that Microsoft purchased Linked In for $26B. http://www.wsj.com/articles/microsoft-to-acquire-linkedin-in-deal-valued-at-26-2-billion-1465821523 "Microsoft Corp. used the largest acquisition in its history to snap up LinkedIn Corp. for $26.2 billion, making a big bet that the move can deliver a needed jolt to its own software offerings by connecting them with the professional social network, which itself has stumbled lately." The big question is: is LinkedIn worth $26 billion? The answer is yes if it can provide the value that Microsoft is looking to develop. Currently, Microsoft lacks a social platform that gives it access to users and their profiles like Facebook does. LinkedIn will enable Microsoft to engage with its users to offer them increased value in their work space. The collaboration will make it possible for Microsoft to provide content linked to a project a professional might be working on. It might better enable interviewees to do their research on not only a company but the individual they are interviewing with. Microsoft might enhance it's Outlook platform's interactivity through shared meetings, notes and email activity. There is even an opportunity to monetize through advertising to white collar professionals. The dark side, however, is Microsoft's abysmal track record for acquiring, and then failing to add value to, new platforms. We saw this with Skype. However, it's a new day with a new CEO. Let's wait and see.
Class Notes:
Week 1
The Fifth "P" in modern Marketing
Any novice student of marketing knows marketers need to address Product, Price, Place and Promotion. If you don't have the right product (or service) to meet a need for the target audience, one that can position itself with a competitive advantage against the opposition, at the price that the audience will see value in, in a form of distribution that is accessible and adds value to the brand, then a product or brand will be short lived. Add to that the need for appropriate brand promotion – a communication campaign that addresses reaching the audience with messages that are curated to speak their language and grab their attention while breaking through other marketing noise or clutter. Traditionally, these promotional efforts were always a one-sided communication effort. Marketing messages are pushed to the consumer through a channel like advertising, public relations or direct marketing. The consumer never got to talk back, aside from calling a customer service hotline, which was often inconvenient and unpleasant. Today, the fifth P is participation because the consumer now gets to engage in a two-way dialog with the brand. The consumer gets to exchange ideas, feedback, opinions, stories and is constantly participating in a market research sort of effort, whether he or she realizes it or not. No longer can marketing rely on a push orientation only but instead now engages in a push-pull orientation.
