Programmatic advertising is a fast-growing, data-driven media buying process that's on its way to gobbling up the greater majority of advertising budgets. Since the process of real-time bidding (RTB) went mainstream in 2011, the ad industry has gone completely gaga over it – and with good reason, too.
As with most processes, digital ad buying started simple, only involving negotiations between advertisers and publishers over cost-per-mile (CPM) and budget to show an ad for a given period of time. However, as time moved forward, this purchasing process became more complex, presenting new factors such as more parties, increased overhead, and higher costs. Eventually, technologies were developed to further simplify media buying, and reduce human error – technologies better known as "programmatic advertising".
With the ability to use intelligent software to purchase inventory, advertisers can easily optimize campaigns that leverage robust data to target individual prospects. Currently, RTB is dominating banner ad transactions with 94 percent of inventory being sold programmatically, according to an advertising company called Undertone. Over the past few years, we've begun to see more automated transactions in channels like native, social, video, and mobile, and will continue to see growth in each. In fact, eMarketer predicts that programmatic advertising will account for 63 percent of all digital display ad spending by 2016.
Even television advertising, the medium that receives the most spending, is starting to experiment with programmatic advertising; for example, ESPN is selling its first ad programmatically in January. Because this method is seeing rapid adoption, and is already adored by advertisers and marketers alike, we've seen the emergence of many new players who are creating innovative tech to help push this practice forward. Here are three start-ups that are doing their part to advance programmatic, and help establish it as the optimal way to purchase ads.
Programmatic advertising doesn't just make advertisers' lives easier, but publishers' too. In order to efficiently advertise, there needs to be a place where ads will be seen by the right people (website, video players etc.). Supply-side platforms (SSP) help create and optimize premium ad inventory for publishers to sell, and not many do this as well as Q1Media's proprietary SSP, Hydra Platform.
Boasting a 100 percent viewable ad inventory, Hydra also offers top-of-the-line performance reporting and access to more sources of revenue for publishers. It allows them to realize the true value of their properties across screens, using its flexible and powerful platform to help them bolster their per-page value.
In the past year, the company has received a handful of accolades. Some of these achievements include being listed as one of the most promising companies of 2015 by Forbes; earning a spot on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500; and showing up on Pixelate's Global Seller Trust Index as the fourth most trusted online ad seller.
Just as publishers use SSPs to sell inventory, advertisers use demand-side platforms (DSPs) to purchase it. Each month, Yashi's proprietary DSP delivers millions of location-focused video ads, and generates billions of impressions.
On top of location-focused targeting, the platform also allows for customization of pre-roll video and display campaigns, opening up targeting options like behavior, demographic, device, domain, and weather. To ensure full optimization, advertisers also have access to real-time performance reporting that delivers metrics with 100 percent transparency, allowing them to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and make on-the-fly adjustments if needed.
In its several years of operation, Yashi has established itself as a major player in programmatic advertising, garnering three consecutive Inc. 5000 placements, and appearing on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 last year. Recently, it was purchased by Nextar Broadcasting Group for $33 million, a transaction representative of the convergence of programmatic technology and traditional broadcast television.
Founded by the creator of the first ad exchange, John Goodhart, MOAT isn't an SSP or DSP; it simply provides brand analytics. Currently, it leads the ad industry with pricing models and transparency for premium programmatic, allowing customers to collect and leverage the most important metrics for their businesses.
Its proprietary platform, simply called MOAT Analytics, comes with a slew of nifty tools that score the effectiveness of ads, optimize campaigns in real-time, compare performance to industry standards, and provide copious amounts of measurable data. It also offers an anti-fraud solution that automates clear, defined metrics that can highlight fraudulent traffic without necessarily calling it out. Over the past year, MOAT has seen major growth, forging a partnership with BrightRoll, and working with elite publishers such as Gannett and Forbes.
With their innovative offerings, these three companies are doing their part to make media buying easier and safer. The technologies they have built have not only helped their respective clientele, but programmatic advertising as a whole, contributing greatly to the advancement of the process by setting a high standard of technological excellence. With the emergence of more companies like these, we may see a fully programmatic marketplace sooner than expected.

Fanny Stollar
Hungarian tennis is going through a mild golden patch, with some very impressive young talent on the roster. However, among their most impressive young players is 20-year-old Fanny Stollar. The young Hungarian has already made a name for herself, reaching a career high singles ranking of 114th and maintaining an impressive run of results at ITF level. In her singles career, she has won one of her two title wins, when she defeated Georgia Craciun in the ITF Galati, Romania.
In 2018, she has mostly seen success at Doubles level, with a very impressive range of results transforming her profile across Eastern Europe and beyond. She defeated Kirsten Flipkens and Johanna Larsson 4-6, 6-4, 10-3 in a pulsating Final alongside Georgina Garcia Perez to win the Hungarian Open.
The duo reached another final, too, losing out to Anna Blinkova and Raluca Olaru in an excellent Morocco Open Final. Growing all the time and showing a maturity far beyond her years, there is nothing to say that the hugely impressive Stollar cannot become of the true ones to watch of her age group.
For one so young, she's already achieved so much – the sky really is the limit here.

If you have been following along with the Showtime show Billions, you may have noticed quite the watch reference in last night's episode. Now in its third season, the series focuses on the lives of hedge funder Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis) and U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades Jr. (Paul Giamatti), mortal enemies whose lives are very intertwined. Both are morally corrupt, in opposing industries, and can't seem to get away from one another. It makes for great TV, but even if you're not a fan, I suggest scanning Episode 4, "Hell of a Ride," for a very special watch spotting.
At one point in the episode, Taylor, an Axe Capital Intern, walks into the Wempe Fifth Avenue boutique asking for a particular watch – a Patek Philippe ref. 5270R to be exact. The salesman obliges and shows them the perpetual calendar chronograph which Taylor purchases on the spot (no negotiating). You can watch the full episode on Showtime or brush up on you 5270 knowledge with Stephen's hands-on with the 5270P salmon dial released at Baselworld this year.
As an added bonus, Wempe shared a little behind-the-scenes look at the shooting that took place in the store a few months ago. Not how you're typically used to seeing Wempe, is it?

How I Am Safely Adding Leg Muscle and Strength After A Hip Replacement- Pete Isip
What's up everyone!
I added a new exercise that I forgot about to add some strength and size to my legs.
Zercher Squat was the main exercise in todays training session. The program called for front squats but I don't have mobility in my thoracic spine and hip well enough to get into proper technique and position so I use this variation instead.
Zercher Squats still get m into decent mechanics and well focus on dropping to the box a little better.
The use of a box to do a "squat to stand" help the hips take a break and aids me on focusing on better range of motion and form.
I hope you all enjoy this variation and try it out in your program.
Be awesome and see you next Monday for Meathead Tip Monday
Be Great!

MJ Consumer - Director eCommerce & CRM
Director eCommerce & CRM, Luxury FMCG Brand
I find the recruitment industry needs to get it's act together, but having said that I have found Mackenzie Jones and Nikki to be very different. Nikki was highly articulate about the role, had clearly done her homework on the business and the role, and we worked well as a 'team' to try and get me secured. Nikki also followed up via sms, email or calls on each stage of the process. Overall great experience. I would be more than delighted to work with Nikki and Mackenzie Jones on any future potential roles and participating in the events they deliver.

A Bible focused Christian - Download This Episode
The title of my message today is, "Being a Bible Focused Christian". It is the second message in a series I am doing on being Kingdom Focused. This series includes the key points I touched on last week in the introduction.
- A Bible Believing church
- A Christ centred church
- A praying church
- A serving church
- A Spirit empowered church
- A loving church
- A missional church
Each week will look at the next topic in the list. Today we start with the Bible.
As Christians we see the Bible as different from every other book because we believe that its writers were 'inspired' by God when writing it (2 Timothy 3:16).
For Christians, the Bible is God's handbook for life. When we read the Bible, it teaches us about God, about this world and about God's great love for all mankind. We also learn how to live our lives and how we should relate to each other.
It is important for us as Christians to read the Bible as it helps us to line our thinking up with God's thinking and to live the life God wants us to live. It also helps to grow strong in our faith and belief in God.
In this message, I want to look at four main ideas. What the Bible says about itself; What blessings do we get if we read the Bible; Some reasons why we can trust the Bible; and some practical ways to help us engage with the Bible each day.
Favourite quotes about the Bible
Before we get into my points I want to share some of my favourite Bible quotes.
"I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from The Savior of the world is communicated to us through this Book."
Abraham Lincoln
"The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home."
Augustine of Hippo
"The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation."
Dwight Lyman Moody
"A Bible that's falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn't."
Charles H. Spurgeon
"The primary purpose of reading the Bible is not to know the Bible but to know God."
James Merritt
"I used to read five psalms every day – that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man."
Billy Graham
"You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilisation to pieces, turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature." Mahatma Gandhi
Some great quotes in there. The last stings me a bit, but I like it because it reminds me not to take the Bible for granted. It contains life and power and salvation and I can never forget it.
1. What the Bible says about itself?
When thinking of the Bible, it is important to see what it says about itself.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 – All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work.
Hebrews 4:12 – For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Psalms 119:89 – Your eternal word, O LORD, stands firm in heaven.
Matthew 24:35 – Heaven and earth will disappear, but My words will never disappear. (Jesus)
The Bible has a number of unique aspects that other books do not have. It is inspired by God and it teaches what is right and God uses it to prepare us to do His work in this world. God's Word is also penetrating. It is like a sword that cuts back the layers of exposes who we really are. This sounds painful, but it is a good thing. It is also eternal and will not pass away.
2. What blessings are there in reading the Bible?
The Bible tells of many blessings for those who read it. It has the power of salvation (2 Timothy 3:15, 1 Peter 1:23), the power to heal (Psalm 107:20), and the power to make us holy (Ephesians 5:26).
My two favourite passages on the Bible come from Psalms 1 and Joshua 1.
Psalm 1:2-3 – Blessed is the man…[when] his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law, he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Joshua 1:7-8 – Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. 8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
Both of these passages talk about being blessed by God's Word. Psalm 1 tells us that if we mediate on God's Word we will be "like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers." And Joshua 1 tells us that if we "Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do."
Meditating or thinking deeply on God's Word and obeying it, brings blessings. I want to be blessed. I want my family to be blessed. I want this church to be blessed, so I am going to read and meditate on God's Word.
3. Can we really trust the Bible is God's Word?
Over the years I have been asked if we can really trust the Bible. I think this is a very good question because as Christians we base our whole faith on what the Bible says about God, life, salvation and heaven. Here are five reasons that I have found we can trust the Bible.
a. Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled
A prophecy is when a person speaks on God's behalf and tells what will happen in the future. Hundreds of Old Testament Prophecies from the Bible have come to pass. Many of these refer to the coming, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is said that there are over 300 fulfilled prophecies in Christ alone. A careful study shows that Jesus is the promised one that the prophets spoke about.
b. Archaeological Discoveries
Many of the places and cities mentioned in the Bible have been confirmed by archaeological discoveries and research. A number of these cities were destroyed by wars or the passing of time but have been rediscovered during archaeological digs. It is interesting to note that the Bible is the only "Holy" book that consistently links events with places.
c. Unity of Theme
While it was written over many years by a number of authors (under God's guidance) it has a unity of theme and purpose. About forty men were engaged in the writing of the Bible, during a period of about 1,600 years – that is, from 1500 B.C. to A.D. 100.
An overview of the Bible.
The Old Testament includes the first 39 books of the Bible. It covers from creation to several hundred years before Jesus was born into this world. It is broken into four main sections.
The Law – Genesis to Deuteronomy. The story of how everything began in the world but then quickly went wrong, and how God started to build a nation (Israel), to whom his laws were given and through whom he planned to save everyone.
Israel's History – Joshua to Esther. A record of how Israel got their 'Promised Land', but then lost it through repeated disobedience. Nevertheless God, seen as always faithful to his promises, restored the nation, giving them a new start.
Poetry and Wisdom – Job to Song of Solomon. Insights into how people can get the best from life by living God's way.
The Prophets – Isaiah to Malachi. Messages of hope bringing challenges to God's people, especially through the hope of God's coming messiah.
The New Testament begins in the period just before Jesus Christ is born into this world. Like the Old Testament it is broken into four main sections. It contains 27 books in total.
The Gospels – Matthew to John. Records the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the messiah promised in the writings of the Old Testaments.
The Book of ACTS. The story of how Jesus' followers began to spread his message across the world. It is the story of the early church.
The Letters – Romans to Jude. Writings to newly established churches, explaining the Christian faith and how to apply it to daily life.
REVELATION. A glimpse into God's final plan to destroy evil and create a new world.
To summarise – The Old Testament (OT) tells of creation, mankind's separation from God and God's coming Saviour. The New Testament re-affirms the OT and points readers to Jesus Christ who was God's Saviour for all mankind. The unity of theme is like no other book. It stands clearly above everything else that has ever been written.
d. Original Manuscripts
Until the invention of printing in the middle of the 15th century, all copies of the Scriptures were made by hand. The ancient Jewish scribes copied the OT with extreme care and many of these are still existence today in partial form. Evidence for the reliability of the NT text includes about 4,500 Greek manuscripts.
The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in 1947 in a cave and confirmed much of the original writings that had been handed down over time were not changed or added to.
e. Biblical Claims
As we saw earlier, the Bible itself claims to be the Word of God and eternal – the phrase "Word of God" appears 48 times in the King James Version of the Bible.
So as Christians we can trust the Bible is the Word of God. We can trust I hasn't been changed or corrupted. It is God's Word, it is how He wants it to be.
4. Practical hints for helping us engage with the Bible
It is important for us to engage with the Bible regularly. According to pew research and the recent NCLS, only 2 in 10 Christians read their Bible daily. When I read during the week, I stopped and asked Larissa, "Do you read the Bible everyday". She said, "Yes". It made me wonder if the next 8 Christians I ran into that day didn't read their Bible very much?
With all this in mind. Here are some practical hints to help us…
Come to church – each week at church we open the Word of God and have teaching and encouragement from it. It is a core of what we do. If you want to engage with the Bible, come to church each week.
Do a daily devotion – Daily devotions like Our Daily Bread and Word for today have recommended readings for the day. Take the time to do them. You will be blessed.
Find a Bible reading plan – we have several on our church website. We have a "Read the New Testament in a year" reading plan on our website. It gives you a list of books to read and you check them off as you go.
Get an app for your phone or iPad – The Bible app is a great app you can have on your phone or iPad. It has hundreds of reading plans and even has reminders. Lots of us here already use it.
Subscribe via email – Biblegateway.com has a simple way of subscribing to receive a reading or a Bible verse each day. So if you are not into these newfangled apps and things, but you can a computer with email, you can receive daily verses.
Closing summary
Today I wanted to give you some encouragement to read your Bibles. Let us not be a church where we are like the averages. Let us be a church where all of us read our Bibles every day. We looked at the following things…
- What the Bible says about itself – inspired by God, it cuts to the heart of things, and it is eternal.
- The blessings that come from reading the Bible – we will prosper and succeed in all we do if we meditate and obey the Word.
- We can trust the Bible because – the prophecies fulfilled, the archeological discoveries, the unity of theme, the original transcripts and it claims to be the Word of God.
- We looked at some practical hints to help us engage – come to church, do a daily devotional, find a reading plan, get an app for your phone/iPad, subscribe via email.

Autumn Gardening Classes recommence on September 5 and 7th. 10 - 1 pm .
What to do Now in August first month in Autumn
- Garden centres are now stocking up with a magical collections of Spring bulbs. Make a list, look at catalogues, photos, wish lists and decide what you would like and where you will plant them, ground containers etc. Tulips are the last bulbs to plant.Also as the garden is still at its height opportunity to plant so that as the leaves die back after flowering they can be hidden.
- Cut your box headging, lay some sheeting at base to make it easier to collect trimmings and compost after.Also better to be narrow on top so as to allow sun at base of hedge.Best to cut in dull dry conditions.
- Tip prune fruit trees, harvested fruit, if you don't have time to make jam or chutneys now freeze until you have time. Allow some broad beans and peas to ripen to produce next years seed.
- Still time to sow carrot seeds.Plant leeks where you had potatoes growing and plant purple sprouting broccoli, which is probably the best veg to grow as it rewards you so well.If you can also perpetual spinach is a fantastic crop to have for winter harvesting. Ordinary spinach is very prone to bolting.
- Keep on top of weeds with your Osslating Hoe ( have some in stock).Hoeing in the morning will dry out soil in the evening the opposite.
- Keep watering. Watering tomatoes plants use a bucket and water when the soil is dry but keep a schedule every 3 or 4 days. If the plants are in grow bags or small pots they may need more frequent watering. Also remember to pinch out the axil shuts to encourage vigour in main stems.vigour
- Continue dead heading for continuous flowering of annuals such as sweet pea, cosmos and dahlias when the start flowering.Mark the colours of sweet pea and cosmos which will provide the seed you might like to save and any otters plants in the garden which will provide seed for saving later on in the season.
- Take cuttings of your favourite plants. Use a mix of compost and grit erring on the grit.Keep well watered and out of direct sunlight.If leaves on cuttings are very large reduce or remove to slow down evaporation.Try to take cuttings that are about the size of a pencil and only take from a healthy plant.Place around the sides of a pot preferably a pre water soaked terra-cotta, don't be tempted to place a cutting in the centre. Many cuttings fail so take lots. Best take cuttings in the early morning and place in a plastic bag to help them stay alive.
- Start to prepare areas of lawn for re seeding or consider sowing with wild flowers. There are great mixes available, for bees, and butterflies.
- Visit other gardens for ideas , including my own !!!! Have a look at the Dublin Garden Trail .

Ants in the Garden
Are ants in the garden bad? The good and bad news about ants and plants. Just as a weed is a plant growing in the wrong place, insects in the wrong place are pests. Ants play a very important role in the ecology of your garden for good and for not so good. ... Ants are predator and prey since they eat the eggs of many insects and serve as food for birds, lizards, and other beneficials. Their tunnels aerate the soil and allow water and nutrients to flow directly to the plant roots. They also distribute seeds by storing them in their tunnels.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the domestic flu season typically peaks in February. But this year the influenza virus has not only come early, but it comes comprised mainly of the H3N2 strain – which unfortunately is not covered by this season's vaccine.
As a result, the CDC has issued a health advisory stating that only 48 percent of flu virus samples taken through December 2014 were closely related to this year's vaccine, indicating a high probability for more disease outbreaks.
If you're a meeting planner, that means you need to be prepared for an influx of potentially ill event attendees. But how?
Be Proactive Against The Flu
As the number of 2015 flu sufferers will continue to rise, you should count on a number of attendees either needing medical attention while at your conference, or missing your conference altogether. However there are precautions that you can take: Communicate to attendees and inform them NOT to attend the meeting if they are feeling ill and feverish. Make hand sanitizer available to attendees. Create a contingency plan that takes the possibility of a large number of ill attendees into account.
Create Your Contingency Plan
The most obvious solution to treating ill attendees may be to send them to local emergency room or urgent care center. However, neither option offers an immediate solution, for as these centers will most likely be overcrowded with sick or injured patients, wait times could increase to upwards of eight hours for patients with non-life threatening conditions.
Another option might be utilizing the services of hotel doctors. Again, this option is not ideal: Hotel doctors are rarely associated with the hotel, and often are non-credited doctors with questionable qualifications, available only as part of a call network.
Offer On-site Support
Consider offering your attendees on-site medical support. Depending on the level of care you choose for the meeting-site clinic to provide, your attendees could have access to quality 24-hour care comparable to that of local services.
Not only can these on-site "clinics" handle everything from a sore throat to more life-threatening situations, they also offer advantages to both you and your attendees: Their value-based system actually allows you to financially benefit, whereas their close proximity to your meeting offers attendees an extra level of comfort and security.
This year's flu season has already reached epidemic levels, and the time to address it is now. Put precautions into place, communicate the situation to your attendees and create your contingency plan. You can always send your attendees to local emergency rooms and urgent care centers, or to the dubious hotel doctor, but perhaps now is the time for you to invest in a value-based meeting-site health clinic and offer your attendees a service above and beyond the norm.

How to Get More Working Capital to Grow your Business
Working capital is the backbone of any business, so learning how to create more capital in your company is necessary for success.
It's basically the cash you need to operate. Without enough working capital, you could lose your flexibility and credibility with financial institutions, suppliers and customers. More working capital, requires the accounting software to balance the capital and its calculations.
What do you do if you lack working capital to fund your day to day efforts?
As a freelancer or small business with a team of employee, the chances are that most of your clients have you working on small projects with quick turnaround times.
If you are in a situation where you are in need of more capital for business, here are the ways to get it.
1. Invest in solutions to speed up the collection process
Working capital shortages often arise due to delays in payments from clients. These days will lengthen your working capital cycle.
Your goal is to reduce that cycle. One way you can do this is by investing in solutions and strategies to speed up the collection process:
- Conduct credit checks with clients before so that you know whether they can pay on time
- Improve your invoicing procedures by investing in tools that help you get paid faster. Automate manual process through business accounting software.
- Track collection time with clients so that you know which clients are the slow players.
2. Find a solution that allows you to request an upfront deposit
There's nothing more frustrating than a project coming to a halt due to money shortage. Asking for an upfront deposit gives you working capital to cover costs for the duration of the project. You can request deposits via email and have clients pay it to your bank account or you can use accounting software that lets you ask for a deposit in the invoice and have the client pay it immediately.
3. Small business administration loans
Small business administration loans are the loans that the small business administration guarantees. Instead of offering these loans the small business administration reduces the risks for the bank through a guarantee.These loans are ideal for long-term working capital requirements.
4. Invoice financing
You should not confuse invoice financing with traditional factoring. With conventional factoring, you enter into long-term agreements.
However, with invoicing financing, you sell unpaid invoices to a third party and get the cash immediately. You pay interest against the invoice value with interest rates.
5. Crowdfunding
crowdfunding is ideal if you are a startup because you can get funding even if you have no financial record. You don't pay interest rates and aren't subject to a credit check.
You raise money from a large number of people, through any platform.
You have a funding target you need to reach and you don't get the funding if you don't reach the target.
6. Get external advice
It's not always easy for entrepreneurs to see how they can improve their cash flow, so I recommend that business owners seek outside help. For sure accounting is a big deal in the business startup, for that there are various online accounting software available in the market.
A consultant will typically help entrepreneurs do a thorough assessment and look at key areas such as their sales cycle, credit terms for suppliers and customers. They can also find areas of the business where there is room to improve and find ways to generate more cash internally.
Working capital is very essential for funding your day to day operations and for large projects. You will have to struggle without it.
That is why your goal should always be to maintain positive working capital. Where you have a shortage it may be time to look for ways to increase it.
How you decide to get working capital is up to you, but you should always remain cautious because some companies may take you for a ride with high fees.

** Latest music purchase is Great White Whale – Secret and Whisper. Really good album, been on repeat for the last week and a bit… **
It's been a while since I last posted… Mainly because of various things, like church and such. My side project has come to fruition, and with it, a number of stresses. I've been convicted of recently how much I run on adrenaline, and that it's probably not the healthiest thing…
But that's not what this post is about.
For the past week and a bit now, there have been numerous things bubbling up under the surface. I know that I'm hitting the redline when it starts to seep through into visible life. In M&M class, we've been going through the list of things that are dangerous for the spiritual life of a pastor, but for me, it has felt more like a checklist (Stress… Tick. Anxiety… Tick. Caffeine… Tick Tick. Alcohol… Half a tick. Low Self-Esteem… Tick Tick. Loneliness… Tick. Pride… Tick Tick Tick.)
The positive has been finally being able to self-diagnose: I suffer from an unhealthy case of preoccupation with self.
Everything, from my loneliness and childish chasing after girls, to my precious little outburst at some people yesterday, to my self-congratulation after publishing, all of this crap in my life comes down to the fact that I'm chronically self-obsessed… M&M had done little to help on this front, other than providing the diagnosis.
It wasn't until a sermon yesterday that I finally found the cure: God is Great. Not just great as in very good (though that too), but God is kinda… well, big. Awesome. Amazingly so.
Psalm 139 reminds us that God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and frightfully holy.
There is nothing that God does not know, not even my deepest and darkest thoughts. He is omniscient.
There is nowhere that I can go to hide from Him. He is omnipresent.
There is nothing He cannot do. He formed and knew me, even before my mother knew she was pregnant. He is omnipotent.
There is nothing he cannot stand more than sin. God is terrifyingly holy.
There is a comfort in knowing that God, this God, who is so terrifyingly massive and great, is concerned with me, knows me, and loves me. There is something that clears the narrow vision when I realise that introspection, for all its worth, only serves to draw my gave away from God and onto my navel. So much of the rants on this blog, so much of my agonising and self-hate, stems from my preoccupation with myself to the exclusion of the awesome picture of God.
God is big. I am small. Praise the name of the Lord.

In this assignment I was required to create my own brief and project which focuses on a specific interest. I started of by researching into what i could do for it, i like a lot of things so i didn't really research every avenue just the ones that i more generally tend to focus on, on a frequent basis they were, films/documentaries, photography, music, quotes and football. These were the topics i wanted to focus on this time round because at the moment these are my main interests. To narrow it down i wanted to pick two to combine and i decided i would pick photography and football one because i have never done a project on football and two because i enjoy looking at visually stimulating images they are good for the eyes i believe. I decided to create a football fanzine at first it was suppose to be a magazine but after a few meetings with the tutor we found what i was producing was a fanzine. So the intention of the project was to create a football fanzine based on the midfield position in football and give insight into that position of play.
As i was creating the fanzine I wasn't that confident about the layout of it and using InDesign (a program i was unfamiliar with). However I had another module which was using the same program (Layout) where we had to redesign a magazine so i would definitely be able to pick up skills a lot quicker because of the hours spent using that particular software. I was able to learn layout elements such margins, columns, grids etc to help produce the fanzine in Indesign.
The things that went well with the fanzine was the actual production; using Indesign i was able to place where i wanted certain features, articles, and images for example and this helped the production come along as i was not printing it i felt using Indesign could allow the viewer to see how grids, columns and margins were used.
I think the things that didn't go so well with the production of the fanzine was the fact i kept changing my mind and ideas at different intervals which kept disrupting the flow at which i worked on it and giving me less time to make changes at a latter stage. At first it was going to be a magazine that featured a poster but then that changed to a fanzine without any posters, as i had taken my own images to feature in the fanzine i initially was suppose to give them an effect or manipulate them in a way, i decided not to do that anymore because once i had seen how it looked, i felt it ruined the overall flow of the fanzine, i couldn't use all the images that i had taken as some were not that great in quality which meant i had to mix them with images from the internet and seen as it was a fanzine it would have been better to use my own.
After showing someone my fanzine (Pete Micklewright) he said he liked it but i should change a few things if i was ever wondering to publish it, concerning the discussion i had with him i would change the front cover, the mathshead should go at the top (but i was trying to do something different), the mathshead for each new page should be different for example Pete mentioned the title 'Killer Pass' could have a jagged K for the word killer as it would give off the right connotations associated with the illustration, i would change the styling as i need to have my own sort of dynamic style for the fanzine (maybe a lack of research on my part contributed to that), maybe colours tints, colour shadows etc, and lastly i would change maybe some of the page's layouts as i felt a better use of grids would have helped me along the way but as i was still learning the software i would obviously be quite inaccurate with some of my decisions.
Overall i was satisfied i was able to create a project for one of my main interests, the errors i made are something to consider for futures products.

When business owners are in need of extra working capital, the traditional route has been to apply for a bank loan. However, over the past few years, more entrepreneurs have been using merchant cash advances – or MCAs – in order to get the working capital they need without the stipulations of conventional lending methods. But how do the two compare?
A conventional bank loan wherein qualifying business owners take on debt in exchange for funding. This can impact the company's credit rating and prohibit securing other forms of financing. MCAs, on the other hand, are considered a sale on receivables, and do not count as debt on the balance sheets. The credit rating is preserved, and businesses are free to seek out extra sources of financing, even bank loans.
A merchant cash advance is repaid through a percentage from every credit card transaction. This means whether sales are light or robust, the rate of payment is flexible and adjusts to the generated revenue. Bank loans have a payment schedule that business owners must adhere to or risk defaulting on the loan. Whether your business generates a lot of revenue, or if sales are sparse, those monthly payments must be met.
As anyone who has ever taken out a bank loan will tell you, paying off the loan ahead of schedule to eliminate existing debt will trigger heavy penalty fees. Bank loans are structured around those payment schedules (see the previous section) to make the most money off of interest. By contrast, MCAs do not adhere to such a schedule, so if there is a period of heavy sales, and the advance is repaid before the terms come to a close, then the agreement is settled. No penalties. No fees.
Intended Use
An MCA has no specific use. That is to say, a business owner can use the funds to stock inventory, hire additional staff, cover rent and payroll, complete internal projects, run advertising campaigns, or anything else the business needs. Every bank loan, on the other hand, has an intended purpose. Taking out a bank loan for inventory must be used for inventory, and any deviation can be considered a violation of the terms. The working capital from a cash advance can be put into any one aspect of a business, or divided up among various operations or projects.
So Are Bank Loans Better Than MCAs?
Bank loans work very well for those business owners who meet the requirements of excellent credit and a long history of strong financials. MCAs offer more flexibility, which makes them appeal to businesses of all sizes, regardless of credit, across all industries.

A list of Toronto's hidden heritage, threatened by neglect, development or a mix of both.
500 Lake Shore West
What The Loblaw Groceteria Company warehouse, a 1927 four-storey art deco classic, and one of the first buildings erected on reclaimed land at the west end of the Toronto Harbour.
Proposed Grocery store and offices.
Backdrop Heritage Preservation Services has reluctantly signed off on plans to demolish the building and rebuild the south and west walls with salvaged materials. That accommodation was made after Heritage pushed unsuccessfully for some form of adaptive reuse for the building à la Maple Leaf Gardens. The wrinkle: Loblaw originally agreed to preserve the south and west walls but backed out, citing soil and engineering studies suggesting the structural integrity of the building is compromised.
191 Guildwood Parkway
What Guild Inn Park and Gardens, former hotel and Depression-era artist colony.
Proposed A raft of plans that have gone nowhere - everything from spa hotel to cultural heritage institute to a low-rise seniors' condo.
Backdrop Taken over from its original owners by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in 1978, the pseudo-Georgian inn fell into disrepair and was eventually boarded up in 2001. Fire claimed the artists' studios. A hotel addition built in 1965 was demolished. The irony: the grounds have become a sculpture garden full of the remnants of important Toronto buildings that were renovated or demolished.
2525-2541 Lake Shore West and 5-9 Douglas
What Mimico Estates, a collection of early-20th-century Queen Anne revival buildings hidden behind the World War Two-era Amedeo Garden Court apartment block. A rare surviving waterfront estate built by industrialist Benjamin Ormsby and later by Dufferin Construction Company founder James Franceschini, who acquired the property in 1925.
Proposed Demolition and relocation of heritage properties under Mimico-by-the-Lake Project 20/20 "revitalization" plans once thought shelved but have recently been resurrected.
Backdrop High-rise condo creep making a mess of the Humber Bay area further east along Lake Shore is just around the corner.
230 Sherbourne
What William Dineen House, 1872 Queen Anne revival with terracotta detailing.
Proposed Unclear. Clue: vacant lot next door where a similar manse was torn down last year.
Backdrop The owner submitted a demolition application last July to level the structure, but the permit was withdrawn - apparently to keep a heritage designation process from kicking in.
580-596 Church and 67, 69 Gloucester
What One of the last notable groupings of heritage buildings in the gay village, including the 1878 Second Empire Robert Simpson residence between Dundonald and Gloucester.
Proposed A 25-storey condo.
Backdrop Developer Church 18 Holdings put a six-month hold on the plan in February, citing concerns expressed by locals and the city's Planning Department, not to mention heritage types who are recommending council reject the project. The developer's original proposal involves preserving the Simpson residence but razing the other buildings save for the facade of one or two.dies suggesting the structural integrity of the building is compromised.
21 Grenville
What John Irwin House, 1872-73.
Proposed 52-storey residential tower.
Backdrop The original development plan for the site proposed the relocation of one of the last examples of Second Empire architecture still standing in the Yonge and College neighbourhood. The latest: incorporating the house into "retail uses" proposed on the site.
80 Bell Estate
What Mid-19th-century Georgian-style farmhouse with Gothic revival elements, home of the descendants of William Bell for a century.
Proposed Demolition of an addition at the back of the farmhouse; conversion of the interior into two condo units; construction of 11 condominium townhouses on the property, plus parking spaces.
Backdrop Heritage Preservation Services has given its blessing to the conversion, arguing the redevelopment proposal is "largely in keeping" with Standards And Guidelines For The Conservation Of Historic Places In Canada.
308-314 Jarvis and 225 Mutual
What 1865 Charles Sheard mansion.
Proposed 50-storey condo tower.
Backdrop Heritage preservationists, while lamenting the potential loss of another significant architectural landmark on Jarvis, are also concerned about the adverse impact of the shadow cast by the proposed tower on another heritage monument - the Allan Gardens conservatory across the street.
100 Queen's Park Circle
What McLaughlin Planetarium, a stellar 1968 creation built to mark Canada's centennial - opened one year late.
Proposed Options are being discussed, according to one member of the working group set up to find an appropriate use. Condo plans have been publicly floated twice - once after the University of Toronto took ownership from the ROM in 2009 and plans to demolish the building to expand the university's law and business faculties were leaked.
Backdrop Closed by the Harris government in 1995. Tipping point: development pressure making its way down Avenue and along Bloor.
6-16 Glen Road/4-76 & 100 Howard/603-611 Sherbourne
What A glimpse of late-19th-century north St. James Town.
Proposed Massive redevelopment of four residential towers of 43, 50, 53 and 56 storeys. Total number of units: 1,840. The demolition of a number of vacant Victorian manses (some facades would be preserved) is required to make room.
Backdrop Planning staff have recommended more consultation, citing scale, density and massing issues.
14 St. Matthews
What One of Canada's best examples of modernist architecture, the Riverdale Hospital half-round.
Proposed Wrecking ball any month now.
Backdrop This 1963 nine-storey, lost to a bitter OMB battle in 2007, has been crowded out by Bridgepoint Health's expansive redevelopment near the northwest corner of Broadview and Gerrard. The good news: the distinctive mushroom canopies at the hospital entrance and Saico glass tile wall mural by Margit Gatterbauer in the hospital foyer will be saved.
60 Mill
What Another glass protrusion in the Distillery District
Proposed A 28-storey "point tower" above the existing six-storey Rack House D building to house an 88-suite hotel and restaurant.
Backdrop A "significant departure," says the city report on the proposal, from what was originally envisioned for the Distillery District in the original Gooderham and Worts Heritage Master Plan. Not to mention the King-Parliament Secondary Plan. But the domino effect is already in play in the District. See the 32-storey condo already completed at Parliament and Mill. See also two more towers, one of 40 storeys nearing completion and the other of 36 just south of Tank House Lane.
440 Unwin
What Hulking expression of Toronto's industrial past. The Richard L. Hearn Generating Station, an abandoned industrial powerhouse on the waterfront, is a fave hangout of urban explorers.
Proposed Everything from motion picture studio to sports complex to ice rink. More recently, it looked like it could get swallowed up by the Fords' port lands backdoor dealing.
Backdrop Owned by the province, but the lease was recently taken over by prominent developer with Tory ties Mario Cortellucci. Caught in no man's land, the property forms part of the water's edge but is not formally part of Waterfront Toronto's port lands mandate.
129 St. Clair West
What The stone neo-Gothic Deer Park United Church built in 1912, oldest surviving church in the Deer Park neighbourhood.
Proposed Removal of substantial portions of the building, including the 1931 Sunday school wing, the transept and the roof structure above the nave, to transform the existing building into an outdoor courtyard and make room for a 27-storey condo with retail space and six townhouses.
Backdrop Church officials opposed attempts by the city to designate the property as historically significant. The Toronto Preservation Board has recommended that city council turn down the proposed alterations.
1006 Bloor West
What The 1937 Paradise Theatre
Proposed Demolition; closed since 2006. The owners submitted an application to the city in January stating their intention to tear down the pre-World War II art deco (and art moderne east wing) cultural landmark.
Backdrop It's been listed on the inventory of heritage properties since 2007 and last month was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Also notable: designed by Benjamin Brown, one of Toronto's earliest practising Jewish architects in the city.

I've asked many Brazilians what the best Brazilian restaurant in NYC is. And the spot that comes up most often is Casa, in the West Village. I stopped in last month to check it out, and had a terrific meal.
It's a charming little space, on the beautiful and quaint Bedford St., perfect for a date, or date with yourself, like I usually do.
Brazilian pork sausage ($9.95) with sauteed onions is juicy, flavorful, and delicious.
That staple Brazilian dish Feijoada ($24.95) is done to perfection here. It is the Brazilian national dish of course. A black bean stew with a variety of prime meats, served with white rice, fresh oranges, collard greens, farofa, and vinaigrette sauce. Truly great.
So for some of the best Brazilian in town, make Casa, su casa.

There are two types of magics, moon and wild. As the three moons orbit the planet, they create a field of energy, turning some living things a different color under the moonlight. Some plants and creatures carry the elements needed to react with the various moonlights, providing enhance magical properties. Wizards know how to harness these powers, which depletes the energy until it becomes inert. Under the full moon it doesn't take long to recharge. Mages casting spells while their moon is visible may have better success and be more powerful, however, when their moon is not in the sky, the reverse is true. When traversing under ground, the moons have no affect on the wizard.
During the full moons, those with the matching elements have a slight tint surrounding them. Xania Wizards are surrounded with a golden aura, the Dasijn's turn blue, and Flalib red. Should a creature or plant carry more than one component, their aura becomes orange, purple, or green with the very rare turning white or rainbow. Only when the moons are at their peak will non-magic users be able to see it. The more powerful mages wear hooded robes to hide their glow since theirs is more pronounced.
There is a fourth type of magic known as wild magic. This magic uses the energy or the spirit in living things. While nature magic is the most abundant of the magic's, it is also considered the weakest of the four magics because it only allows the manipulation of the physical world.
Types of Magic
Yellow or Xania Magic
Xania Magic uses the light and is represented by the color yellow. Many will become orators or go into sales. Sometimes they become a Linquist hiding their talents by being a bard where they can weave magic into stories and song. When Xania in full in the sky, any living creature that has the yellow gene will have a golden tint to their skin. Moon magic
Blue or Dasijn Magic
Dasijn Magic deals with the manipulation of liquids, mainly water. Usually, they specialize in potions and elixirs. When a Dasijn mages want to hide, they become Alchemist and sometimes a winemaker. Under a full Dasijn moon creatures have a blue glow. Only a few people make distilled, or fermented spirits dabble in magic, but sometimes magical ingredients mix together for a strange result. Moon magic
Red or a Flalib Magic
Flalib Mages work the earth and metals. They make everything from weapons to silverware. They are the rarest of the three moon mages they are also the most sought after for their ability to create magic devices. When the Flalib is full, they glow a shade of red. Powerful Flalib mages are sometimes called the devil mage because they appear to be covered in a fiery glow. Moon magic
HauvKhusian: [audio mp3="http://thesilaprophecy.com/wp-content/u... More, Wild or Elvin Magic
The planet is always being recharged with the moons orbits. Wild mage is a combination of all three, using plants and animals part of potions, commanding pockets of weather, and using animals to find rare minerals. They don't call people practicing wild magics mages or wizards, but Druids and Dryads. Those with a strong bond with the HauvKhusian: [audio mp3="http://thesilaprophecy.com/wp-content/u... More magics will appear with a shade of green.
Type of Mages
Mage, Linguist or Verbal
The Linguistic mage uses the power of language to cast their magic. It has the most immediate effect, with the shortest life, but is the most common mage. Linguist wizards may become bards, salesmen, barristers or any other profession where oratory skill is needed. One misconception is the words must be said out loud. This is false, but the person can whisper the incantation, and it will still work. It makes it harder for anyone else to hear the spell. Not everyone that uses their voice for a living is a wizard, in fact, less than 20% can cast a spell.
Mage, Artificer
The Artificer knows how to fold the magical energy into an item. Many Artificers will specialize in a specific type of material, like paper, wood, stone or metal. Some will take it even further and specialize in just armor, weapons, buildings, clothes and such. They often work with the Cabbalist to put symbols or spells on the Artificer's work. Many smiths create great works no magical ability. However, a writer of glyphs can work with a non-magic user.
Mage, Cabbalist or Written
Any mage, sorcerer, sorceress, wizard or witch can be a Cabbalist or a writer of magic symbols. There are several types, and because it is written, the same spell can be in several languages at once. They frequently work with Alchemist to create a special ink for the writings. Many papers are not magical by nature, sometimes they are written in ink with sorcerers properties.
Mage, Alchemist
Alchemist imbues their magic into potions, elixirs, drinks, and food. They are masters mixers, taking a few ingredients and turning it into magical liquid or solid. Some become winemakers, brewers, and bakers and using their magic to create potions and foods that can heal or kill. Less than 5% of craftsmen can use magic, but sometimes the enhanced food is served with the regular stuff.
The spells are different for each type of magic, but similar spells have the same corresponding results. The most common example would be the sun sphere used by the Xania magic users, the lava ball thrown by the Flalib and the energy sphere by Xania mage.
Certain items like staves and amulets act as storage, allowing the wielder an increase of magic for casting a higher number of spells or more powerful ones. Wands have a specific enchantment put into the device.
There are places around the world with an increased magical powers. Rumor says the ancient city of ThesilaPronunciation English: [audio mp3="http://thesilaprophecy.co... More has the power of the magics ten times over. Many runes, circles, and glyphs occur in nature and created by creatures that have magical properties.

Iknow its been a long time, life has kind of caught me a bit off guard.. but I need to take a look at what makes me life complete and what I am thankful for.... last weekend Savan and I went to see Jake. It was so nice. It was actually very memorable. He looks so much like his dad. It was wild. We shopped a bit, had a great dinner at the Mustard Seed and just visited. I miss him like crazy. He is doing well in school and seems to be living a good life. I am hoping he will come down for Spring break for a visit. Its been just too long. I am thankful for smart, witty kids who are loving and kind. Thanks God!

A Beautiful Book of Poetry and Art
This is a book of poetry illustrated by the original artwork of the author and is presented in three sections:
Just Enjoy Life has the premise about enjoying life and what God has given us....and don't fret the small stuff.
Love and Other Tribulations has love as its theme. Love opens the heart and sometimes leaves wounds, but as the saying goes "it is better to have loved once and lost than never to have loved at all."
Remembrances and Celebrations may spark memories of happy and perhaps some not so happy occurrences. The odes and short poems capture in words some of the life and times of family and friends.

Developing world must lead on green economic policy
Personal Notes : Very interesting piece here by the Science and Development Network. The point that since a major part of development in renewable energy will take place in the developing countries they must be more assertive is very valid. In shaping the common agenda of green economy, in the fight against global warming, and in defending their own interests through making sure that patents protecting renewable energy technology and fees associated with them do not become an obstacle to mass adoption in our parts of the world, the developing world has got a major role to play.
That precise last aspect is going to be interesting to follow, how are developed nations weight in the money their private sector could make in levying high fees for technology versus lowering gains but speeding technology adoption worldwide in the face of a pressing global warming issue.
So far developing nations have benefited the most from China, which helped cut drastically the costs for photovoltaic panels. If it wasn't for them we would still consider such items as luxury items and that doesn't make sense. The solar trade war the U.S is waging against the Chinese photovoltaic industry in order to protect its domestic producers is lacking in judgment in that regard. But that's just me being a liberal, I do not believe in sheltering companies that cannot compete in a global market.
Incidentally if the 50 to 250% hike in tariffs the U.S Dept of Commerce is considering imposing on Chinese solar panels do indeed go ahead, there is no denying that firstly it is going to be bad for solar in the U.S itself and that is regrettable since it is the 2nd largest carbon dioxide emitter worldwide, but also that it might just bring about the Chinese to consider the developing world as a more attractive market for their panels since we are considering no such trade barrier, and in the process boost our own solar sector.
I concede the point that an absence of policy doesn't constitute policy, but then again Morocco does not produce solar panels, not yet that is. What would make a lot of sense for now is lowering the tariffs for solar panels from China or anywhere else inasmuch as possible in order to grow our domestic solar capacity. In 2009 I called for a 25 years moratorium on solar panels, digital meters and other equipment that go along with the installation of solar capacity at homeowner level, coupling that with low tariffs on imports makes sense as a coordinated approach to reach energy self sufficiency. And that just might be policy after all.
Article below by SCIDEV Network.
Yet more failure to make much progress on climate change in Durban means that developing countries must exert stronger political pressure.
For three years in a row, there has been a disappointing end to international meetings that should have agreed on the steps needed to prevent the human and ecological disasters likely to result from a failure to limit man-made climate change.
The stage was set in Copenhagen two years ago, when the 15th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 15) — widely but perhaps misleadingly billed by environmentalist groups as 'the last chance to save the planet' — ended in disarray.
Following an equally disappointing meeting in Cancun, Mexico (COP 16), last year, expectations were low for the outcome of this year's meeting, which took place in Durban, South Africa (COP 17), earlier this month. The financial crisis that has hit industrialised countries over the past two years further lowered expectations, pushing climate change far down their political agendas.
There was, therefore, little surprise that the Durban meeting failed to make much headway, beyond agreement to start negotiations on a new agreement for 2015, to come into effect in 2020.
But the message of Durban was clear for climate change and other sustainability targets. A global transition to a green economy is unlikely to take place through voluntary agreement. It will require strong political leadership, and this must now come from developing countries — emerging economies in particular — which have much to gain from achieving sustainable growth.
Technologies are available
The technical aspects of this transition are relatively easy to define (and technologies such as bamboo charcoal were on display in Durban). The way forward is through development and deployment of clean energy systems.
Solar energy is the obvious contender here. And the developing world, where most countries enjoy significantly more sunshine than those in temperate regions, are best placed to benefit from these technologies, provided that innovation and mass production brings down the costs of equipment such as photovoltaic panels. In the case of large-scale projects, such as Desertec, countries may even profit financially by exporting solar energy.
Other technologies also need to be introduced. In agricultural production, for example, carbon emissions could be reduced by techniques such as low-tillage cultivation, and for house building there are many opportunities to cut the energy used in constructing and maintaining homes.
And creating a green economy does not depend only on meeting the technical challenges of mitigating climate change. Equally important is the need to introduce food production techniques (such as biological pest control) that can boost agricultural output while ensuring there is sustainable and equitable use of natural resources and ecosystems.
Political and economic obstacles
So the technical advances needed to build a green economy — as well as the scientific research required to bring new technologies to fruition — are relatively easy to identify and develop. Indeed significant progress has been achieved since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro almost 20 years ago, as is likely to become clear at next year's Rio+20 summit, to be held in the same city.
The stumbling block, as the Durban meeting illustrated dramatically, lies in the political and economic interests that stand in the way. Those who represent these interests appear to argue that 'business as usual' — taking signals from the market alone — will be sufficient to lead the world on a path towards long-term sustainability from enlightened self-interest. But the spectacular failure of this strategy in the case of the global financial industry carries a sobering message.
Take, for example, the question of intellectual property rights. Many of the new energy technologies have been produced in the laboratories of the developed world, which inevitably seek to exploit them for financial advantage. But the need for them remains greatest in the poorest parts of the world, which are often unable to pay high licensing fees.
Attempts to lower these fees have, so far, had only minimal success, and no progress on this front was achieved in Durban.
Case for social equity
All this suggests that stronger political action from the developing world (with backing from sympathetic countries in the developed world) will be needed to create the conditions that allow a green economy to flourish.
A strong case can be made on the grounds of social equity. As Sunita Narain, director of the Centre for Science and Environment in New Delhi, India, has persuasively argued, equity suggests that those countries largely responsible for creating the climate change problem should take the biggest share of responsibility for finding a solution (and providing the resources for doing so).
Enlightened self-interest will be needed, too. Countries such as Brazil and India are already experiencing the social and environmental fallout of unfettered economic growth. The more severe the consequences, the more they will realise that their future wellbeing depends on pursuing a different growth paradigm to that in the developed world.
The political will — and capability — to translate sustainability goals into effective actions must be the priority for all countries. For emerging economies, in particular, which are becoming increasingly powerful actors on the global stage, it needs to stay not only near the top of their political agendas as they prepare for next June's meeting in Rio, but also for many years to come.

That said, I'm curious -- is there a TV show you love that has made you want to visit the locale it takes place in? "Friday Night Lights" made me want to go to Texas. So there's that.
Also, big apologies to our Canadian listeners! We never mean to imply being Canadian is a bad thing. Just some of the shows that come out of Canada have a specific look and feel that is quite different from American shows. Seriously, we're sorry.

UT Study: Secret to happy marriage: A skinny wife
KNOXVILLE – Researchers from the University of Tennessee say the key to a happy marriage may be a thinner wife.
A study by University of Tennessee, Knoxville, doctoral candidate Andrea Meltzer and psychology Associate Professor James McNulty shows married couples are happier when wives are thinner than their husbands.
Meltzer and McNulty tracked the marital happiness of 169 newlywed couples. The couples indicated their height and weight and then independently and privately completed marital satisfaction questionnaires every six months for four years.
Controlling for factors such as depression, income level, and education, the study found that husbands were initially more satisfied in their marriages if their wives had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) than their own and initially less satisfied if their wives had higher BMIs than their own. Wives were more satisfied over time if they had lower BMIs than their husbands and less satisfied over time if they had higher BMIs than their husbands.
"We believe that the discrepancies between partners' BMIs affected women only through their effects on men, which takes time to emerge," Meltzer said. "In other words, we believe that the wives are happy because their husbands are happy."
This may be because weight and physical attractiveness are more important to men than women, Meltzer said. If the study had examined another quality that was more important to women than men, such as earning potential, the effects may have been reversed.
However, Meltzer said women don't have to fit into size-zero clothes to have a happy marriage. They just have to be thinner than their husbands.
"Our study does not show that women have to be 'thin' in absolute terms," Meltzer said. "Rather, it shows that women of any size can be happy as long as they are with the right partner. It's relative weight that matters, not absolute weight."
The study is published in the July issue of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. Contributing authors include Sarah Novak from Hofstra University; Emily Butler from the University of Arizona, Tucson; and Benjamin Karney from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Belated Birthday
Key's birthday is April 19th. We completed a piece of art in time for that, buuuut, we had no chance to post it until now. So here it is belatedly. Obviously Crenen has learned the fundamentals of Earth-style birthday celebrations, but naturally he selectively absorbed ONLY the most dangerous aspects of such, and having no cake, he improvised. Hang in there, Key!

About Walt
Walt Gerbase was born in the Key West Naval Base Hospital, and grew up in Marathon, Florida where he worked in numerous classic old school seafood restaurants. He attributes his frying skills to his mother Betty and his grilling skills to his dad, Paul. While attending USF in Tampa, Walt worked in the University Cafeteria, where he worked under a CIA graduate who recognized Walt's interest in the culinary arts in the late 1970's.
Travel throughout the Caribbean added to his recipe list, and he often found himself hanging out in the local kitchens.
After 7 years working as a cook at the old Dockside Dave's, Walt brought his love and passion of his trade to John's Pass Village where he and his life partner, Sue Zirneskie opened "Walt'z Fish Shak". Walt and Sue reside in Madeira Beach, Florida.

I remember as a kid listening to the "oldies" station on the radio in the car. At the time "oldies" was music from the 50s and 60s–music from my parents' generation. I enjoyed the music, but preferred my own, of course.
With satellite radio in my car, I can listen to just about any kind of music or talk radio. When my kiddos are in the car, the dial is usually set to Radio Disney or Kids Place Live. I have been known to subject my children to the "80s on 8" channel from time to time. Unfortunately for me, this typically only lasts about 10 minutes before the kids can't stand it anymore and The Tweenager asks to change to Radio Disney.
Earlier this week I was singing out loud in the car (trying with no avail to embarrass The Tweenager). I was singing the Robert Palmer hit from my generation "Doctor, Doctor".
As I belted out "Doctor, Doctor, give me the news! I've got a bad case of…", my Tweenager looked at me with that look that says "I'm rolling my eyes at you in my head", and completed the line with "a bone fracture?"
I wonder if Robert Palmer's children rolled their eyes when he sang in the car.

This is a great success story. This guy turned a bad situation into a good one. He used our advice to realize what positive traits he had to offer, fixed his negative traits and improved his confidence, and is now dating an amazing woman. This guy is the perfect example of what following our advice can do.
Dear Mr. Max and Dr. Miller,
I am a recently divorced 27 year old dumped back into the market. I had never dated much prior to marriage (married my first girl-friend) and had a completely warped perspective on everything sex and dating. Your podcasts, coupled with lots of reading on the subject of evolutionary mate selection, open my mind to facts that had been staring me in the face for years. For example, my biggest hangup was I was obsessed with my physical appearance because I thought it was really the only important thing in attraction (which is fucking stupid because I do not think that way outside of dating).
As a divorcee I was lost, and unsure of how to move forward. Yet, as I listened and read I was struck with how many positive traits I actually had. I am a great conversationist, men or women. I had been overweight in college but worked hard in recent years to become fit. I am intelligent, humorous, ambitious and well dressed. I had everything but was damaged by divorce and hangups from my extremist religious childhood. Your podcast woke me up that I was a highly attractive potential mate when I did not even see it in myself.
Because I own a sustainable farm and live in a really terrible mating market, I hit up OkCupid, set up a profile, engaged women intelligently and looked for somebody I really wanted to be around. Low and behold five days later (and 20,000 words of exchanged messages) I went on the first date. It was clear she was attracted to me before we met and the date was just to confirm (for her and me to feel safe) our mutual attraction. Its been 1 month and I am now dating a beautiful, intelligent, ambitious, independent women (She was tired of bad and pathetic men). The time we spend together, and the sex, is simply amazing because we feel so confident and comfortable with each-other.
Perhaps even more interesting than my success is that your project allowed me to look back on my life and realize how unattractive I must have been to my wife. I got stressed out with work, acted depressed often, was overly needy, felt guilty of my sexual urges,(thanks to religion) and was an over-all shitty boyfriend and husband. Although I was very loyal, I completely understand now why she cheated on me which terminated our marriage.
Your project took skills and understanding I had gained in other domains of life and let me apply them to dating, and I am a much better person and boyfriend because of it.
Thank You
