World Bank "Innovate4Climate" Showcasing DLT Solutions for Meeting the Paris Agreement/
Between 22-24 May, the World Bank convened industry experts and innovators in Frankfurt to discuss efficient ways to meet the financing needs of the Paris Agreement
Meeting the Paris Agreement's commitments require climate-resilient, low-carbon investments at unprecedented speed and scale. The financial sector has a significant role to play in the fight against climate change, for example in terms of new innovative products.
Emerging market economies will need about $23 trillion to meet the Paris objectives. Over the next 15 years, the world will require nearly $90 trillion in new infrastructure, mostly in developing and middle-income countries, and all of it climate-resilient.
The Conference co-hosted a number of workshops on cutting edge solutions to help unlock the trillions. One such workshop was co-hosted by Stockholm Green Digital Finance, Climate Ledger Initiative (CLI), World Bank Group, Gold Standard and Climate-KIC and explored practical use cases for digital ledger technology to speed up investments at scale. This was far from the only workshop on technology driven solutions for green finance.
Throughout the conference a number of cutting edge solutions were demonstrated and discussed, from idea stage to actual product development. Solutions included everything from putting carbon markets on the blockchain to solutions for retail consumers to offset purchases with carbon credits on the blockchain. Other solutions involved helping investors identify bankable green projects to crowdfunding platform to finance solar in rural Africa.
One can without doubt conclude that financial technology innovations are increasingly coming up with much needed practical solutions to speed and scale sustainable finance. The day after the conference, the newly established Climate Chain Coalition convened 75 participants, all looking into technology solutions, to formalize working groups to drive new solutions to the market at an even stronger rate.
Digital ledger technology has arrived to stay in the world of green finance.

Independent Television Service: Grants for Journalism/
OVERVIEW: ITVS funding for journalism supports the presentation and promotion of documentaries on public television and cable, innovative new media projects on the internet, and the award-winning PBS series Independent Lens. Its goal is to bring "independently-produced, high-quality public broadcast and new media programs to local, national and international audiences."
IP TAKE: ITVS gives almost all of its funding to projects intended for broadcast on public television.
PROFILE: Independent Television Service (ITVS) funds new programs for public and cable television as well as new media and internet projects. ITVS provides "independently-produced, high-quality public broadcast and new media programs to local, national, and international audiences," seeks to "take creative risks, tackle complex issues, and express points of view seldom explored in the mass media," enriches "the cultural landscape with the voices and visions of underrepresented communities," and reflects "the interests and concerns of a diverse society." It does not provide grants per se; rather it receives first-look distribution rights in exchange for funding, though individual filmmakers retain copyright and creative control.
ITVS has a handful of different initiatives for journalism grant seekers:
Open Call – The funding provided under this initiative varies widely as it provides completion funds for "single nonfiction public television programs on any subject, and from any viewpoint." Deadlines are twice each year, typically in February and August.
The Diversity Development Fund – This initiative provides up to $15,000 in funding for producers of color for projects that have not yet entered into the production phase. These grants support research and development in order to help develop single documentary programs for public television.
Digital Open Call - This initiative supports projects in pre-production for distribution on public media. It provides up to $30,000 in research and development funding. The annual deadline for application is in May.
Series and Special Projects – Occasionally ITVS provides funding for a few special series or projects to pay for the cost of development activities such as research and script development, as well as funding for production and post-production activities. These awards are extremely limited and proposals are accepted on an ongoing basis. These funds are meant for already commissioned documentary projects that "fall outside of the parameters of the standing initiatives."
ITVS also accepts submissions for the Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens on an ongoing basis. Films in an advanced rough cut or fine cut or completed stage are all eligible. See the full guidelines here.
An important note: ITVS prioritizes small, independent filmmakers and producers, so large film companies need not apply. Also, grant seekers who work for a commercial broadcast organization or film studio as producer/director and are considered a regular employee of that company do not qualify for ITVS funding. However, staff members do qualify for funding.

When people think "CrossFit", they generally think of the people they see on TV. They are young, extremely fit athletes who eat healthy all the time and training is life. People assume CrossFit is all about flipping tires and eating Paleo. However, CrossFit has another side as well. It's an activity that all ages can do. I was thinking about my grandfather as a CrossFit athlete tonight when we had a conversation over dinner about fitness. I then realized that he is a CrossFit athlete and has been for years. Even before CrossFit was a thing, he did it and is still doing it. He grew up doing laborious jobs, trained with the military and worked out in his own basement weight room for years. Every day we talk about my workout and current weight maxes. He tells me if I'm training to hard or if I need to step it up. He has been to every single local CrossFit event and thrives on the atmosphere. As an 88 year-old athlete, he still lives for the adrenaline; even if he can't perform the movements himself. He is not throwing weights around like he used to but he still trains as much as he can. He understands the importance of functional fitness. That is what CrossFit is, functional fitness.
My grandfather instilled the importance of fitness for Mike and I. He helped mike in his early fitness years and I used to hang out in the dim basement weight room ever since I could remember. He showed us what it was like to work hard for our goals and that led us to our current love for CrossFit.
What I'm trying to say is that CrossFit is for everyone. No one really out grows the love for functional fitness. You can be a 5 year-old child in a kids class or an 88 year old man with 10 lbs weights in the living room. All athletes are the same. They have the drive to say active for as along as possible.

New Delhi, Feb 21, 2013 (Washington Bangla Radio / forpressrelease.com): From Ghalib to Kalidas to the urban reality of today. The Yuva Natya Samaroh depicted it all and enthralled the theater lovers of the capital with a series of plays.On the last day of the festival, young performers brought to stage the much-loved and frequently staged play Adhe Adhure that captures the story of an urban middle class family of dissatisfied members in a conformist society.
The story revolving around Savitri, a middle-aged woman unhappy with her marital life and her attempts to keep her rebellious children and a scattered family intact, depicted in a humorous way brought a resounding end to the festival.
The Yuva Natya Samaroh was organized by Government of Delhi along with the Sahitya Kala Parishad, with the aim of providing young theater talent a platform as well as an audience.
Over the past week, a wide varity of subjects played out in the form of various plays like Quaid-e-Hayat, Khusar Phusar, Bada Natakia Kaun, Ashadh Ka Ek Din, Kabira Khada Bazar Mei, and Pratigya Yogandhrayad.
Organized under the theme "amateurs of today - masters tomorrow", the festival received a resounding response from young Delhites.
"We are overwhelmed by the response that we received. It was particularly encouraging that young and amateur artists received applause and encouragement for their work. They had worked really hard to make this extravaganza a success and to showcase their talent," said Mr J P Singh, Assistant Secretary, Sahitya Kala Parishad.
The festival that started on February 11 and staged plays every evening at the Shri Ram Centre (excluding February 14, 16 and 17).
Besides exploring interesting personalities in Indian history like Ghalib and Kabir, the plays also discussed prominent issues in Indian society including the trials and tribulations of women through a series of varied plays directed mostly by upcoming directors.
Sahitya Kala Parishad, the cultural wing of the Government of NCT of Delhi was setup in 1968 for the promotion and propagation of Art and Culture in Delhi. Honorable Chief Minister of Govt. of NCT of Delhi is the Chairperson of the Sahitya Kala Parishad. As one of the most interactive department of the Delhi Government, Sahitya Kala Parishad for the past three decades and more has been carrying out its mandate with full vigor and dedication. The Parishad has, on one hand, revived and projected the age old, time tested traditions of the country and on the other hand, it has tried to encourage and provide platform to the new and innovative trends in plastic and performing arts which represent our lives and times. Parishad's programs are, at the same time, deep rooted in traditions and also branching out towards open skies crossing the boundaries of caste, creed, colour and geographic limits. Its projects and programs concentrate more on youth, women and weaker sections of society.

Larry Page Tries His Best To Convince Us That Google+ Isn't Dead
In a recent interview with Farhad Manjoo of The New York Times, however, Google CEO Larry Page stressed the importance of social and did his best to talk up Google+.
The social network was barely mentioned in Google's keynote address Wednesday at this week's I/O developer conference, and Manjoo asked Page what was going on with it."The service has been growing tremendously," Page insists. "People are always like, 'Oh, what's going on?' But for us, we're super excited about it because it's a big service, growing continuously, since we launched it, at a high rate, and we're making it better and better every day."
Page says social is even more important for Google than it was two years ago, and that the Google+ community is very excited and dedicated. He says when people think about Google+, they just think of its home stream, but that it's much more than that. Page mentions Google Play reviews as being a big part of the social network. YouTube comments are another one (though not everyone is happy about that).
He also makes a pitch about why people should use Google+.
"People forget we're able to make our services better by understanding your relationships, making sharing work and understanding identity," he told Manjoo. "These are deep and important things for us as a company."

Take the pledge to put water pot for birds and animals in this summers.on 15 Mar, 2017
In this burning heat of summer season water becomes essential part of our life. But have we ever given a thought that we can easily arrange or access water whenever we need it but the poor animals and birds do not have such freedom or power. I have seen so many stray animals running here and there in search of water and lick whatever and wherever they find some. We cannot help all the animals and birds in this world by ourselves but if we take initiative and keep water for birds and stray animals outside our house or at terrace, so take the pledge to put water pot for birds and animals in this summers. #SaveBirdsThisSummer #SaveAnimals

Anna Herron, LMT #18404
I am a passionate student of health, wellness and the miraculous human body. I started my life's work in the compassionate arts as a caregiver in 1996. A consuming passion for exercise science and nutrition took me back to school (Oregon State) and kept me in the gym where I began working as a Personal Trainer in 2008. It was there that I became interested in manual therapy as a means to better-help my clients with their various musculoskeletal and mobility issues. I subsequently went to school and graduated in 2011 with a Diploma with Honors in Massage, Sports Massage, and Spa Therapies from Everest Institute, Tigard, OR.
My education and experience greatly inform my approach to therapeutic massage as I aim to skillfully integrate a variety of modalities to achieve optimal results tailored for each individual client.
In 2018 my career opened itself to working with professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, and MLS. I am continually adding to my knowledge and skillset, and excited where the future is taking me.

MSN previews Fallout 3
None - posted by JarlFrank on Thu 15 November 2007, 19:20:11Tags: Bethesda Softworks; Fallout 3
MSN wrote a preview for Fallout 3, thinking that it's going to be the best game of 2008.
There aren't many games companies confident enough to start fuelling the hype around their games a full year before they are scheduled to hit the shops, but Bethesda are doing just that with their 'next big thing' Fallout 3 – and they have already succeeded in making it one of the most eagerly anticipated titles around.
Yes, hype... that's what they do best, after all. Praising a game to the heavens a year before it has been released isn't a very good sign, really, Bethesda did it before and we know how it ended.
Of course, when it's Bethesda – the software house behind the mighty Oblivion games – that are making the game, and they can boast the voice talents of Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman in a series of games that already has a huge nostalgic fan-base, you can begin to imagine just why excitement is building.
Yeah, and this shows exactly why Fallout 3 will be so great. It's made by the guys responsible for the "Oblivion games" [I thought Oblivion was only one game, but maybe he wanted to say "Elder Scrolls" instead] and has two well-known actors to be voice actors. I can already see the greatness.
During the demo, we witnessed a mission that saw the player decide whether to blow up the entire township of 'Megaton' which is assembled around an unexploded warhead. Although we watched in delight as the town was reduced to dust, this option would leave the player facing a very different game to one who chose to save the residents.
I wonder why they always mention exactly the same quest when giving an example for the choice and consequence in FO3. Makes me wonder if there actually are any other quests giving you some harsh game-changing consequences besides this one.
"In some cases you will make a choice that is unrecoverable. Obviously if you do something like blow up Megaton you can try to work your way back up the Karma system but you're probably not going to get back to even neutral – because you can't make up for being that evil!
Good and evil? Where's the moral ambiguity gone? Meh, let's hope they'll at least manage to deliver on the choices and consequences and make them at least somewhat logical.

Karla Calassa was born in Brasilia and lived most of her life in Goias. For that reason, in a lot of jobs, the artist shows a big cerrado influence. Moved to Florida in 2001, where the cultural pluralism has been a source of study and inspiration.
Autodidact, her techniques are painting in oil and acrylic on canvas, pastel painting, watercolor and an incredible curiosity on new materials in the exploration of pigments and textures.
The artist's creative process consists in transforming the imaginary in real, that results in abstract canvas, but with the formal concern in the creation process. Some artwork with the perception of life reflects softness and an euphoric touch. Others, represent the accomplishment after hard work, like the series "Harvest".
The spirituality and the gratitude for the nature are instruments of Karla, a lot of times in an unnoticeable. In the artwork, a lot of possible interpretations.

Mobile slots allow you to play anywhere with an Internet connection and access to your smartphone, tablet or other mobile devices.
In the mid-1990s, there was a demand created for online casinos. This demand was created by two key things: the widespread availability of the Internet for desktop computers, and a high percentage of people having those computers in their homes. Along these lines, the demand for mobile casinos has come from the fact that more people than ever have smartphones and tablets, and these devices have Internet connections. They say history repeats itself, and that is definitely the case with the relationship between regular online slots and mobile slots.
Top 5 Mobile Slot Casinos
We have made a list of our five favourite mobile slot casinos. These are mobile friendly casino operators which accept Pay by Phone payments via Boku.
How to Get Started Playing Mobile Slots
To get started playing mobile slots, you have a few different options. First, you can play with a native app on iOS (Apple devices) or Android-powered devices. These are special apps designed for specific mobile operating systems that can be downloaded from your respective app stores. The second option is to play with a mobile website that's powered by either HTML5 or Flash. These games will typically be played through your web browser, but they have a similar level of graphics and gameplay as the titles played on a native app.
If you're playing with a mobile casino that uses a native app, then you'll simply download that casino's app from your app store to get started. However, if you're playing with a site that operates in your web browser, then you'll need to navigate to that site and log in to your smartphone or tablet. From there, you'll be ready to go and play all of the mobile slots you want.
Additional Security Measures
We want to point out that when it comes to playing via mobile, you have to be careful about how you handle your sessions. If someone steals your phone, you don't want your casino account to automatically log in, because then they could simply clear out your account, and there would be nothing you could really do about it. Make sure that you always hide your password when you're typing it in, and make sure that you don't ever leave your casino account to automatically log in. That's just asking for a disaster if your phone or tablet is lost or stolen.
Touchscreen Options
Most modern smartphones and tablets have a touchscreen interface, and not all mobile slots have caught up. Many will operate as if they are being played with a mouse, and that can mean that some of the buttons are too close together. If you're playing with games from a software company that has optimized their game interfaces for the mobile format, then you'll find that the buttons have a convenient amount of space to help make sure you don't accidentally press the wrong button.
If you find yourself constantly touching the wrong buttons, then one option is to switch casinos. If that's not appealing to you, then you can always try playing with a stylus. A stylus is a small pen-like instrument that you can use to tap the screen instead of using your fingers, and it allows you to tap a smaller, more accurate area. This is extremely helpful for a lot of players considering that mobile slots often have a whole lot of information available on a relatively small screen size.

What an emotionally charged week. Can ya feel it in the air? In ya bones?
I've spent about 18 hours of my week at my day job listening solely to podcasts about government conspiracy theories and serial killers to take the edge off the Comey public hearing and UK snap election results that happened yesterday, and oddly enough it helped! Feeling pretty good about my Friday now, though I could go for a pitcher of sangria.
Please reach out to me via the handy dandy contact page on the cmd+f website, or at the brand new cmd+f Twitter at @cmdf_me with your thoughts about any of the tracks I've selected this week. I love chatting about music. Let me in on your new favorite band; they're looking for new fans, too.
As always, you know the drill: if you like what you hear, spread the cheer. Tell your friends about the songs you liked in this letter, but most importantly, let the artists know. There's a good chance they'll see your comments. Let them know how good their tunes are, and they'll crank out even more magic.
"Not About You" - Haiku Hands | Y E S. YES. YEEEEES. Fuck me up!! Melbourne's Haiku Hands have come out of left field with this bratty banger I've been blasting in my car all damn week. This is their first single, and I'm hooked. The production takes me back to those halcyon days when I'd pirate episodes of Skins in high school and rinse Klaxons and Hadouken! records for hours on end afterward (I thought I was really, really cool). "Not About You" has purely addictive, cheeky lyrics and brazen bursts of energy. I can't wait for more from Haiku Hands. Listen here
"Until You Feel Good" - San Mei | I bring yet another tune from Down Under, this time from Gold Coast's San Mei. This hazy, post-beach come down with lush vocals and fuzzed-out guitars is intoxicating. The melodies cradle you with a sense of comfort whilst San Mei croons about being sure to take care and go easy on ourselves. Listen here
"Glory" - Dermot Kennedy | Dermot is on his way to be THE next male singer songwriter, mark my damn words, y'all!! Most of you may already be thinking, "not another one," or "don't we have enough of those?" Can't argue with you there, but Dermot, like those who've garnered a steady fan base over the years, has that something special factor, all bundled up in his vocals and songwriting. I initially had his new single "Boston" up for this week, but I fell back on his track "Glory" to really grab you by the balls. Strap in: the conviction and strength in his vocals will knock out of your seat. Oh, and did I mention he's Irish? If you live in LA, be sure to RSVP for School Night and see Dermot for FREE at the Bardot in Hollywood (and let me know if you're going)! Listen here
"It's All Good" - Superorganism | This is the shit I live for right here! Part Architecture in Helsinki, part early Gorillaz met with cut n' paste production a la The Avalanches, "It's All Good" is a demented piece of audible mastery. Appaz Superorganism is a trans-continental supergroup of 7 musicians from London scratching up beats for a 17-year-old vocalist name Orano who lives in Maine. Or at least that's what they've said… their first song got taken down for an unauthorized sample clearance (despite Frank Ocean playing it on his Beats1 blondeRADIO show). When "It's All Good" was polished and ready for released, they somehow nabbed a premiere on Beats1. Kooky origin story aside, "It's All Good" bangs. Listen here
"Lose My Cool" - Amber Mark | I'm excited as hell for Amber Mark - girl has got some serious pipes and a true gift for songwriting on all levels. Her production is smooth and heavily influenced by her nomadic life of growing up around the globe. You can hear traces of Samba and classic R&B. In one of her interviews, Mark says her sister best described her sound as 'tribal soul.' It's a breath of fresh air, and each track on her 3:33am EP has a life of its own. Listen here
Again - Dermot Kennedy is performing Monday June 12 at the Bardot Hollywood for FREE for the weekly It's a School Night showcase. Former cmd+f pick Ten Fe will also be making an appearance that night! Hit me up if you're going and say hi! Click here to RSVP
Exit Kid (Emre of Years & Years and their touring drummer Dylan's music project) have their debut EP out today! D O P E Listen here
Ten Tonnes has dropped his Born to Lose EP today Listen here
Best new Lorde release has arrived - "Sober" Listen here
About damn time: SZA coming through with a new album! Listen here
Only gonna mention Katy Perry has a new album out (listen to Allie X's CollXtion II album instead Listen here)
Need to feel like you're living inside a romanticized summer on the InterRail across Europe, riding rented bikes around cities all day, getting drunk on 2€ bottles of wine every night and reckless heavy petting on park benches and cobblestone streets? #bigmood - Phoenix have an album for that. Listen here
If you're interested in hearing what else I've been rinsing this month (aside from the tracks listed above), peep my personal June 2017 playlist. You can dive into the cmd+f archive to hear what I've been listening to in previous months this year.
A(lmost a)ll of the tracks I've shared this week and past cmd+f newsletters are archived into a single playlist on Spotify for you to follow here. You're welcome.

10 Reasons to Choose an Outsourced Data Center
Why should large and mid-sized organizations consider data center outsourcing? The reasons can be varied - large and mid-sized enterprises are embracing the trend for its financial and operational leverage.
According to a recent survey of Fortune 500 companies by Forbes, most IT leaders prefer an outsourced data center over in-house operation. This brings us down to our next question - What are the key factors supporting this booming trend of data center outsourcing and What makes outsourced data centers scale the competitive winning edge when it comes to customized business offerings to customers?
The decision to outsource to a data center involves careful examination of options from a strategic level, business perspectives and a thorough tactical evaluation to involve asset inventories, facility requirements and budget considerations.
Given below are the top ten reasons why outsourced data center are in-demand over the traditional in-house operations are:
Uptime Guaranteed
The outsourced datacenters are governed by service level agreements (SLAs), which have to be complied by them. The SLAs encompass all the environmental and infrastructure elements to include state-of-the-art building systems and designs, which are maintained at the highest level to reduce downtime and subsequent financial penalties.
According to a study by Ponemon Institute the average recovery time for total data center outage is 134 minutes. The outsourced data centers provide for 99% of expected availability of basic site infrastructure, redundant site infrastructure capacity components, concurrently maintainable site infrastructure and also a fault-tolerant site to be prepared in case of power outage or unexpected delay of distribution facilities.
Creating Distances for Risk Mitigation
The distance between a company's headquarters and its production data center helps eliminate the risks associated with events such as utility blackout or the occurrence of a natural disaster. Hence both the corporate headquarters and the data center, if located at a distance between 25 to 500 miles is ideal and will allow the team to reasonably access data from the center while offering buffer distance from the main hub. It is also important to take into account the latency tolerance of applications in the data center and between facilities running at both the center and the corporate headquarters. Hence, companies are now setting up data center hubs and colocation facilities in key markets where outsourced data center operators offer high quality inventory to mitigate risks.
Scalable Capacity
The current economic climate with increased technical and regulatory pressures is impacting business infrastructure in most organizations. As a result, the business agility gets compromised either due to over utilization or under-utilization of capacities of in-house datacenters. In such a scenario, collocating an organization's infrastructure to a third-party provider will provide enterprises with the much-needed flexibility, cost-effectiveness and scalability. Consequently, businesses can better focus on their immediate goals keeping the end objective in plain sight.
Enhanced Delivery Speed and Flexibility
Building a new datacenter or upgrading an existing one can be quite a time consuming process and can take up to 2 years. Outsourcing to an external datacenter service provider takes care of power and space challenges and provides better flexibility for expansion plans and a scalable growth platform.
Impacts Savings and Boosts Branding
Data center outsourcing can beef up your bottom line by saving costs on operations typically related to IT labor, association overhead, equipment maintenance, upgrades and physical space. The enterprise can further choose to lease physical space and retain control of the data center operations or go virtual by migrating to the cloud. This eliminates space considerations and future equipment expenditures at one go and also reduces your total cost of ownership.
It can be quite ironical to know and understand that outsourcing data center operations can impact branding. Now how does this work? Adoption of data center operations exemplifies leadership and establishes your company's reputation as a brand. This in turn will attract investor confidence and motivate employees to perform better. With a well thought-out service level agreement in place, the outsourcing partnership can assure seamless near-term transition and provide for a long-term solid foundation for futuristic growth plans.
Improved Connectivity and Latency
Improved connectivity and latency are two key elements of any data center functioning, as this allows more room for service providers to offer multiple-carrier offerings. Such diversity offers tremendous leverage for negotiating with the telecom service operators and avail the best offerings with a vast array of carrier choice and minimal provisioning timeframes.
Increased Focus
In an outsourced data center model, the burden of upgrading IT infrastructure and building systems is shifted to the outsourced data service provider, this enables the CIOs and IT managers to focus on more important activities to further the business goals.
Managed Regulatory Compliance and Audits
Outsourced data center model is power packed with compliance and audit capabilities to meet the SSAE16 standards, the health insurance portability and accountability act (HIPAA) and many other government regulations and standards imposed from time to time. Maintaining these standards can be quite difficult for a large IT enterprise to employ dedicated staff for regulatory control management.
No CAPEX
Outsourcing data center means OPEX based on resource utilization, hence there is no capital expenditure involved. Companies can therefore invest in more productive areas of business, save considerable money and time to set up a data center.
Conducive Market Environment
The data center outsourcing market in India is growing at a rate of 25-30%, of which third party data center is expected to grow at a rate of 80% in the years to come. Hence, businesses need to take utmost advantage of the conducive market environment for growth.
In Conclusion
Outsourcing data centers is the ideal way to align IT with business objectives in the most cost-effective manner. Some of the key benefits associated with outsourcing data center are: organizations can gain higher operational and financial efficiencies, manage hosted IT infrastructure to enhance customer satisfaction and proactively monitor operations. The benefits of outsourced data center further allow for maximum freedom and flexibility in daily IT operations, along with protection of IT infrastructure from technology obsolescence.

Each year I seem to have a moment when I discover (or rediscover) the words of a lesser known verse of an old Christmas carol. It's no wonder—there are many verses we don't sing of even the most beloved Christmas carols. (Realistically, who is going to take the time to sing all nine verses of "The First Noel"?) Some of these less popular verses, though, I find to be my favorites. This year, it was verses three and four of "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear."
And ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing:
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.
For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own the Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.
And here, in these two verses, is encapsulated both the trial and hope of life. Christmas is more than "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night," and even within our carols we find the reality of pain and suffering.
We live in a world still broken by the Curse—we toil, we bleed, we weep. Our hope, the Kingdom of God, a new heaven and a new earth, has not yet fully arrived. Christ won the Kingdom and our salvation, and we can begin to live into its reality now, but we look forward to its full and final inauguration.
Until then, we live in this already-but-not-yet reality. The Kingdom is here—but not fully. We still feel "life's crushing load." We are still brought low. But thanks be to God that we have a sure hope in the coming Kingdom, in which there will be no tears, no pain, no darkness, no death. We can have joy today because we look forward to a day in which the whole world will see Christ our King rightfully ruling on his throne.
And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end. (Isaiah 9:6-7)

On Monday February 6th, 2017, the E-Divisie officially kicked off. This gives enough reason to make up a balance concerning the success of the E-Divisie so far. In an article on NUsport, it is stated that the E-Divisie has a bigger growing potential than the Eredivisie itself. Mainly because youngsters prefer watching a FIFA match instead of an Eredivisie match. In the article of NUsport, people who are working in sports marketing, as an eSporter or have a FIFA-related YouTube channel give their view on the E-Divisie.
The Dutch YouTubers all noticed that their viewers prefer a FIFA match instead of a real football match. Mainly because of the success their YouTube channels have, the Eredivisie has contracted a few famous Dutch YouTubers to promote the E-Divisie. Every club in the Eredivisie provides an eSporter who will represent them at national and international tournaments.
The Dutch Eredivisie clubs are also eager to use the eSports trend. Ajax for example opened a new eRoom on the 9th of February 2017. In this eRoom, the club's eSporters (Koen Weijland and Dani Hagebeuk) have the freedom of creating and streaming content 24/7. The eRoom is located at the youth academy of Ajax: De Toekomst (The Future).
Marc Rondagh, who is working as a development manager at the Eredivisie CV, believes that the E-Divisie is a big opportunity for the Eredivisie. The occupancy rate in stadiums is descending, which in his eyes points out that the interest in the Eredivisie is declining. With the E-Divisie Rondagh hopes to make the Eredivisie interesting again by binding a younger target audience at an early stage. This eventually will lead to the youngsters visiting the stadiums more often. Rondagh thinks that the E-Divisie makes Dutch football more important throughout the whole week instead of only in weekends. Ruud van der Knaap, from sports marketing company Triple Double, thinks the opposite of Marc Rondagh. Van der Knaap thinks that the development of eSports cannot be tied directly to ticket sales of football clubs. In his eyes, the E-Divisie will be mainly good for keeping the connection between a club and its fans. However, it might be possible on a long-term more people will visit the stadiums because of the E-Divisie.
E-Divisie and betting possibilities
The expectation is that betting on E-Divisie matches will be made possible. However, one can also view betting on the E-Divisie negatively: because of the younger target group, children might also encounter sports betting. Given that, it is not unthinkable that the sports betting advertisements will be shown on a later time or that the younger viewers will be protected in another way. On the other hand, the E-Divisie might be a way to introduce the youngsters to betting in a responsible way. It is naïve to think that these young adults won't encounter betting at their age. That is why it's better to introduce these youngsters to betting on a more responsible and ethical way. Research done by Jellinek shows that a part of the youngsters already knows what betting is and has done it. The E-Divisie can help in this process by regulating and decide who and how bookmakers can advertise during E-Divisie matches.
If the E-Divisie decides to allow betting, the bookmakers such as TOTO and other foreign parties could profit from this in a lot of ways. The exposure possibilities during the event are mostly with commercials or the eSporter himself. The eSporter plays matches in a jersey of the team which he represents. A possibility for exposure is to print brand logos on the jersey of the eSporter. Bookmakers did and are doing this. An example is Bwin, which has been sponsor and was seen on shirts of a lot of Europe's top teams such as Real Madrid. Also, the database and followers of the E-Division could be interesting for the bookmakers. Considered the fact that they are already present online and just a couple of mouse clicks away from creating an account.
Now, there are already bookmakers active as a betting partner in eSports. GG Bet is an example for a betting partner who, now, only operates in eSports. On the site of GG Bet there is a possibility to bet on League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Operations and Call Of Duty matches. As soon as you place your bet you have the possibility to watch a free livestream of the game. GG Bet sponsors professional eSports teams such as FNATIC and Team NP. Through this way, they are making use of the exposure opportunities that the eSports offer.
Because the E-Divisie and international FIFA tournaments are broadcasted on Fox Sports, the potential target audience that can be reached instantly becomes a lot bigger. On YouTube, the E-Divisie channel has more than 54.000 subscribers. If you add the exposure that is possible through broadcasting of Fox Sports, it becomes very attractive for bookmakers to invest in the E-Divisie. As we stated before, there are a lot of bookmakers already offering eSports betting. This is a confirmation that there is a demand from the betting world of betting on eSports matches. The E-Divisie matches are now broadcasted every Friday at 15:00. This time is mostly in tune with youngsters, because most adults work throughout the day.

Savior of the Nations (Newborn Light) - MP3
Savior of the Nations (Newborn Light) - MP3
A new setting & refrain tune from Illumine Church.
Add $1 MP3 to Cart
This uses the tune "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland" (the tune most typically associated with this text) for the verses and takes the words of Luther's 7th verse and turns them into a refrain with a new, very congregationally friendly melody. The setting has an urgent feel that taps into the feeling of expectation we have as we look forward to Jesus' coming.

A student with a cumulative GPA less than 3.00 will be placed on academic probation and may be subject to dismissal. If any GPA falls below 3.00, the student must develop, with the advisor, an academic performance improvement plan that includes the conditions and timeframes for making satisfactory academic progress in their degree program. The student is considered to be on academic probation until the conditions specified in the academic performance improvement plan are met and GPAs are greater than 3.00. Course work such as research and dissertation and any course that is graded with a "Z" (in progress) or "Y" (satisfactory) cannot be included in the GPA.
Students must also satisfy the maximum time limit for graduation from the student's graduate program (six years for master's degrees and certificates, 10 years for doctorates). Doctoral students must comply with the five-year time limit for completion after passing the comprehensive examinations.
Students must successfully pass any comprehensive exams, qualifying exams, foreign language exams, and an oral defense of the proposal or prospectus for the thesis, dissertation or any other culminating events required for their program.
Students must stay continuously enrolled in their graduate degree program. Failing to do so without a Division of Graduate Education-approved request to maintain continuous enrollment is considered to be a lack of academic progress and will lead to automatic dismissal of the student from the graduate program.

It is a fun and rewarding career, but now that I have survived the herculean task of launching a new business I find that I miss the creative process of making great images.
I will be taking a VERY limited number of sessions at this time. My "KKS Comeback" will start with a few sessions in Cairo, Georgia on October 24 and Thomasville, Georgia on October 25. I'm really looking forward to it! If you're in South Georgia and you're reading this, I certainly hope to see you then because I REALLY want to shoot you.

Ancient Strengthening Technique - Chapter 857
AST 857 - Eastern God Country, Dongfang Aristocrat Clan
Qing Shui left the place. Even though the old man from the Golden Buddha Temple didn't say anything and he did not leave any sort of promise, Qing Shui knew that he would help them if the circumstances were right, that is on the condition that they even required help.
The stood on his Fire Bird and flew towards the east at high speed. This unplanned incident at the Golden Buddha Temple was extremely significant, it could even be a turning point, since he felt that he was much closer to the seventh Layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique after his breakthrough. He felt that his body had entered a new mysterious realm as he stepped closer to the seventh Layer.
It is rumored that one with the strength of ten stars could start sense the realm of Martial Emperor. But Qing Shui knew that it was very rare for someone to be able to do that with just ten stars of strength and understanding how powerful a Martial Emperor could be was just the tip of the iceberg.
Most importantly, he did not know how much strength one had to accumulate to become a Martial Emperor. He only knew that the numbers wouldn't be small and he did not know how the Grades in Martial Emperor were segregated in the World of the Nine Continents.
Qing Shui longed to reach the seventh Layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. It was a critical level of the Ancient Strengthening Technique that allowed the user to move from intermediate to advanced grade. It should at least provide a x10 effect on his strength and that was only his conservative estimate. Even the transition from third to fourth layer, lower to intermediate, produced a greater than x10 effect.
Everytime, he went from the initial layer to the next, the qi in his dantian turned from gaseous to liquid which enabled him to gain a lot of strength and Qing Shui did not know how his strength would soar for the next transition, this made him look forward to reaching the seventh layer.
Vajra's Glare!
Qing Shui was now observing his Vajra's Glare which he rarely used. He could easily count the rare occasion which he used that because the effects were too insignificant at the moment or rather it was on a much lower level so it wasn't that useful to him. If he was successful, the effects will be great.
Vajra's Glare was a skill which required activation. It focused all of the strength throughout one's body on the eyes and shot it towards the opponent in a unique way. There was quite a high chance it would distract the opponent. The stronger the target was, the lower the chance of success.
He did not know what realm his Vajra's Glare was in but he knew that the success rate had risen by 10%. Despite the increase in success rate, the effect of the skill was still highly depended on the opponent's strength and spiritual energy. Qing Shui was still very happy since he was rather confident about his current level of spiritual energy. He suddenly remembered the flyleaf with the words 'Buddha Eyes' on it, that was given to him. He immediately took it out and started reading.
Buddha Eyes, also called Buddha True Eyes, was an ability that allowed one to see through all illusions. The user could directly attack their opponent's 'soul' by channeling an attack through their eyes, thus causing an injury to their spiritual body. In serious cases, the opponent might even appear to lose their soul.
It was a sort of spiritual attack.
At this point, Qing Shui realized that this Buddha True Eyes seemed to be related to his Vajra's Glare despite their difference. Since the old man said that he was fated to learn this Buddha True Eyes, did that mean that the old man knew that he knew the Vajra's Glare?
After that, he reviewed the technique of the skill. He decided to try it out because he had some time, hoping that perhaps it would also speed up the progress of his Vajra's Glare.
Nine Continents Steps!
The further east he went, the more flying beasts and demonic beasts he saw. He even saw other cultivators riding their flying beasts. They were extremely fast and disappeared from sight quickly.
As he headed east, the concentration of spiritual qi in the atmosphere increased. Qing Shui could see the cities, mountains, forests, rivers, lakes and seas from his Fire Bird's back but he was not in the mood to explore.
He felt that his time was limited, so it wasn't the right time to explore now. His priority was to reach Eastern God Country, the landmark at the far east of the continent before Sky Penetrating Mountains.
When he thought about the Golden Buddha Temple, Qing Shui suddenly remembered the young fatty that he met when he was buying herbs a long time ago. He brought the fatty back to the Qing residence, but one day a monk brought the man away saying that he had an affinity with Buddha...
He has an affinity with Buddha? He, himself was also told this. He wondered where the monk brought the fatty to and if the fatty had now become a powerful cultivator. Maybe, it was even possible to meet him again.
At Eastern God Country...
After three months, Qing Shui finally arrived at Eastern God Country. He decided to stay in a nearby city for about two days before heading to the capital city. The capital city of Eastern Victory divine Continent was also the capital of Eastern God Country. This was nothing unusual since capital cities were commonly found in the best locations on the continent. As he was approaching a city and it was near noon, he decided to land and stay there for two days.
Dongfang City...
The city gave Qing Shui the impression that it was filled with history, though that might not be the case for others. The architecture in the city did indeed contribute to his impression of the place. Most of the buildings were at the north and faced south. The roofs were high in the centre and gradually sloped down two sides to allow for rain to run off and reduce accumulation of rain.
The roofs were made of durable yellow and red tiles. They were pleasant-looking;not lavish but still retained a sort of grandness. This was also the reason why Qing Shui chose this city for his short stay.
As noon approached, a faint aroma filled the streets, especially the one that Qing Shui was on, which was primarily occupied by restaurants and eateries.
There were simple setups of benches and tables along the street, as the small eatery owners started preparing various food items. They busied themselves, as they struggled to make a living, just to survive and have a better life.
''Fresh Scallion pancakes! Made from techniques handed down over the generations! Don't miss your chance to try one!''
''Old Hu Mala Soup!''
Qing Shui ears were filled with hawkers touting loudly, over and over again.
''Oh, this smells good!''
With Qing Shui's keen sense of smell, he immediate looked over in the direction where the aroma was coming from. It was not far and he walked over casually. It was a normal family owned stall which sold only scallion pancakes, a few side dishes and porridge.
The hawker was a woman who was about 30 years old. There were four children around the ages of three to eight. There were three boys and one girl. The girl was the youngest, she sat on a mat playing with two other slightly older boys. The boy who was about eight was scrubbing some bowls, helping the woman.
Qing Shui watched the woman and her children and began to think about his mother. Mothers are the greatest, they can and will go through any sort of suffering for their children.
The woman was very beautiful but coarse-looking clothes hid most of her elegance and there were tiny wrinkles on her face due to her overworking.
The woman seemed to notice that someone was staring, so she looked up and saw Qing Shui. She smiled, ''Young sir, do you want to have your meal here?''
''I'm broke,'' Qing Shui said softly.
''It's just some home-cooked dishes. It's okay. Everyone has their difficult times, it'll be fine as long as you do something about it,'' the woman smiled, speaking warmly. Qing Shui looked at the almost empty stall. There were so many customers elsewhere but there were only one of two customers here. Furthermore, the few people looked poor.
In a short time, a plate of side dish, a scallion pancake and a bowl of porridge was placed in front of him. They smelled good, it was this aroma that he had detected. He thanked the woman cheerfully and started eating.
Once he started eating, Qing Shui could tell that it tasted alright but it was normal actually too normal. The contrast between the pleasant smell and the oddly normal taste made him feel uncomfortable. It might be better if it did not smell so good. The contrast annoyed him.
''Does it taste bad?'' the woman asked when she noticed Qing Shui pausing after just one mouthful.
''No but it does not match its smell.'' Qing Shui answered and continued eating.
The woman knew this but she had no choice. To feed her family, especially her children, she had to do this. She was unable to hold back a sigh.
''Sister, do you have a piece of paper and a brush?''
Qing Shui asked the woman.
''Yes! Yes!''
''Do you know how to read?'' Qing Shui asked having he thought about it for a moment.
''A few words!'' the woman replied.
Qing Shui waited for the woman to provide him the paper and brush. Thereafter, he started scribbling a few recipes for scallion pancakes, sides dishes, porridges, two desserts and some soups. They were dishes that did not cost much to make and he finished by leaving a sentence to ask the woman to burn the paper after reading. He then passed the paper to the woman.
''Since I got a free meal from you, I'll give this to you. It might be useful to you.'' He gave it to the woman and left.
The woman took it from him without much though. She watched as Qing Shui disappeared from sight before she opened up the piece of paper. She was stunned when she saw the recipes. The ingredients couldn't be any more normal but she sensed that the recipes were very valuable. She sighed looking at the direction that Qing Shui disappeared from. After that, she looked to the boy washing dishes and said, ''Xuan'er, let's go back early today. I'll prepare something nice for all of you.''
By this point, Qing Shui was already far away. He helped the woman because he wanted to help out a mother and the woman was also kind-hearted. The recipes that he gave her were just some standard fare which would allow her to make some pretty tasty dishes. They could not be compared to his nourishing soups. They would taste good enough for people to crave but not for people to be jealous. She could probably reach the level of a head chef. In the worst case scenario, she could be a head chef for others but that wouldn't be too bad anyway.
If the recipe he gave her was too good, it might harm her instead of benefiting her.
After Qing Shui was full, he decided to walk around. He was previously in a normal residential area but he had now ventured to an area with luxurious residences.
''Today's the wedding of Dongfang Ye from the Dongfang Aristocrat Clan. They invited all family and friends of the family. We can go there to drink and eat all sorts of good food. Who would miss such an opportunity?'' a middle-aged man commented shamelessly.
''Dong Yan, even though they mentioned that anyone above Xiantian can attend without an invitation, we just reached Xiantian, isn't that a little embarrassing?'' A man about 30 years old asked.
''Yes. Let's find someone like us. If there are more of us, it won't be so embarrassing,'' the man called Dong Yan laughed.
The younger man was speechless but Qing Shui approached them with a smile.

Putting self development training to the test. In these blogs I am reading and testing the Intimate Modeling course from Ken Haberman.
Intimate Modeling: Your FUN 7 Week Course to Create the Life You Want
Previous post - Next post
Here I am starting to read the introduction and let YOU know how it works for me.
The Intimate Modeling course is – in my view – based upon the LOA (the Law Of Attraction). I really believe in this thought and I wonder how this book will help me.
7 week fun course
The training consists of 7 separate weeks.
- Introduction week (this is not just a few pages to turn quickly! – Its part of the training)
- Feel Good Now Week
- Add Value Week
- Love Yourself Week
- Desire Week
- Flirting Week
- Intimacy Week
As I write now – we're in the beginning of the first week.
What is Intimate Modeling?
I have learned that Intimate Modeling is playing. It's acting as if…. Putting ourselves in a certain role and playing a situation. Just like children do. Ken Haberman suggests that it should be fun! If it's not fun – it's not working.
And playing isn't that stupid after all. That is what pilots do all the time before they fly the airplane!
The Intimate Modeling play will naturally be replaced by more inspiring real experiences.
Then our real life experiences will also become more powerful.
What happened
Actions that I need to take
I will need to take a full week to read and review the introduction from Ken Haberman's course: Intimate Modeling. It will take some efforts. Let's hope they are worth it…. they must be!
It's also about starting from where I am now. Sounds logical – there is no other way. But it sounds more relaxing. It's OK where I am now.
I wonder – as in my previous blog – what it will bring to me. Here is a few things that the power of attraction might bring to me:
- Laugh more often
- Feel more energetic
- Improve relationships
- Positive "coincidences"
- Meet more desirable friends and (business) relations
- Feel more confident
- Feel increasing temptation to do good things
Ken warns that if we are encountering persistent struggle – we're probably on the wrong track. Then we are not following our passion. Intimate Modeling is pursuing passion.
Quotes that inspired me in the introduction
- Unless you try to do something beyond what you already mastered, you will never grow.
- The possession of anything begins with the mind (Bruce Lee)
- If you love what you do, you will never work another day in your life (Confucius)
- We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. (Carlos Castadena)
- Passion is far more powerful than willpower. Passion is far more enjoyable than willpower. (Ken Haberman)

Transferring Facebook Live to YouTube. Will post here
Enclosed is a tiny url Medford Politics
Enclosed are two links from today's get together.
This week was pretty amazing (information in a private email, not to be published here)
And in Medford Malden Access TV is on page 2 of the Transcript.
Every single political event needs to be promoted the way (described in the e mail)
In Medford, Stephanie Burke and Anne Marie Cugno have the edge, and it is not a little edge, they have a huge advantage. My crystal ball says that Burke, Scarpelli, Cugno, Dello Russo, Falco, Knight, Caraviello will beat up on Breanna Lungo Koehn - they are drooling at pushing Marks from sixth place to eighth place - and it looks like they have the team and coalition to do just that,
Was hoping that Michael Marks and Tony D'Antonio - two veterans - would be proactive and build a team, gather people together and say "Get ten more people to get excited about this election, and let them get 20 more" and exponentially build a coalition to go after the three headed dragon, McGlynn / Burke / Belson.
But, alas, we have no such team, and as much as I like Tony and Mr. Marks as people, they looked like Gilligan and the Skipper auditioning for the rag tag fleet known as Battlestar Galactica.
Don't laugh, it's not a joke. We have no team, and we have little leadership here. This is a crisis.
If you think Donald Trump is a disaster with his alt-right KKK French kissing, wait until Stephanie Burke bulldozes everything that you love about Medford. She is the destroyer and all the momentum that we had with Bob Penta last year has evaporated. Once she neutralized Bob the entire winnings at the card table were hauled in by Stephanie Burke and Ed Finn.
they hit the jackpot at your expense. And no one has the ability to BUILD a coalition, certainly not the mayor's opponent, all due respect.
David McKillop seems like a nice guy - and the way his campaign is moving along at a snail's pace, all due respect, Stephanie has to be his biggest fan. Until he takes the gloves off and goes a few rounds Mrs. Burke is going to be the winner by default.
David - Stephanie Muccini-Burke just LOVES you!
What I saw today was not encouraging. People moan about having no access station, yet I'm out there printing the public records requests, open meeting law violations, and getting ready to sue the city.
Mr. McKillop needs to slap a restraining order, an injunction, on Stephanie Burke, force her to open access TV to all candidates, and show the citizens he has the integrity and the guts to take her on.
David won't. Don't hold your breath. David McKillop is Stephanie Burke's dream come true. I just don't see that he has the fight in him, and she does.
That, my friends, is the ballgame.
Let's have a Thank You party for Michael Marks now, thank him for his service, and congratulate Stephanie and Cugno.
The game is already over.
They've positioned themselves magnificently, and there is not enough juice in the opposition to do a damn thing about it.
a friend of mine said to me on the phone "You give too much free advice. They will never respect it." He's right.
I've given y'all over a dozen years of service, took out the Mayor's uncle, Bob Maiocco, TV3, and won so many times in court that Mark Rumley will be begging judges to let him avoid a subpoena.
Last time he got one I bounced him off the witness stand for being "irrelevant."
So you tell me, what is more effective? A lowly citizen pro se (without attorney) removing a city solicitor from a witness stand in a court of law, with a judge labeling Rumley's testimony "irrelevant"
Or Michael Marks barking at Rumley and Rumley barking back. Ruff Ruff.
Who do you think Rumley is more afraid of in a court of law? Michael Marks or yours truly?
That's a rhetorical question.
So why does a citizen, with less power than a councilor, have to continually do the heavy lifting and the bare-knuckles fighting?
We don't pay 30k a year to be insulted by six of the seven city councilors, with only Breanna Lungo Koehn standing up to fight the bullies in the proper way, and - frankly - it's just not enough.
This "rally" should have been at Carroll's, that should be our meeting place, we should be YELLING about the Cradock Bridge travesty, we should be united as a team.

Design and Technology
DESIGN and TECHNOLOGY
Design and Technology brings together the mental and physical skills needed to plan and make artefacts relevant to the school curriculum. Thinking, visualising, drawing, making, problem identifying and solving, and, decision-making are all involved in the realisation of a project. The programmes of study are planned to be both in line with current National Curriculum requirements in terms of knowledge, skills and understanding, and, to maximise continuity and progression so that the pupils can develop their confidence to become independent problem solvers.
To quote from a letter written by Sir James Dyson,
"Design and Technology is unique and it challenges both hands and minds. It embeds…. research, independence, technology, communications, leadership, teamwork and problem solving. Design Technology is not today's woodwork; it breeds new products and new business. It is both academic and practical, and develops an identity and a capability for innovation."
