"Thank you so much for coming by and helping me get through all the paperwork I had. You did a great job on helping me organize it and file it. When I look back at it, you had a unique way on how you surveyed the scene and knew exactly what to do and got me on it right away. You set up my filing system so it was easily accessible to put everything in its proper order, whoo hoo!!! And after all that you got me to organize my bill paying to make it easier to pay my bills on time!!! To me, that was above and beyond the normal job! And after all that you even offered to help me organize my house, hanging pictures and things! You really like to exchange! Thanks again for your help! I can't wait for you to come back!"
Business Owner
"I'm an artist and have a studio in my house that needed some major repairs (walls, flooring) so I had to remove everything in order for the work to be done. Since this was a good opportunity to re-organize the whole room and space (I have a LOT) of artwork, dolls, cabinets, furniture and supplies in this studio) and I wanted to optimize the space. Margie helped me make a space planning drawing, scaled down on paper, with cutouts (also scaled down) of furniture so I could re-arrange my room "on paper" without actually having to move big furniture around to see what fit best and where – this was huge help in rearranging my room and available space and she also had the brilliant idea of utilizing a large closet to house my large paper storage drafting cabinet – this really freed up one wall of my room so I could really spread out my art/doll collection! Margie has a "knack" for space planning as well as organizing and I even took her advice on "just go through one box at a time" instead of looking at the whole huge projects of boxes and getting overwhelmed! Before I knew it I was done! I would recommend her highly for any projects like this!"
"I'm a homemaker and great grandmother and have been living in my home for over 25 years now and I am not the most organized person. Margie not only de-kludged my garage, basement, attic and tool shed, she even organized my linen closet and kitchen cupboards and drawers… with labels!! She even alphabetized my large spice rack! Now I can find any spice so quickly which saved me a lot of time searching for the right spice. She even organized an entire file system for me so the boxes of papers, bank statements, medical records, etc. are now all neatly filed in a file cabinet and she even made a smaller 'working' file tucked neatly away in the living room so I can conveniently keep my files up-to-date! She has sold many no-longer-needed items for me and even organized and held a household sale for two days. Now the entire house is cleaned up, organized, all unneeded items and clutter are gone! You can even walk down into the basement now and actually get to the circuity breaker box! Now I know quickly and easily where to put everything and finding anything now is a breeze! I used to spend hours looking for things – now I know right where to look and this has saved me so much time – I actually have time to read all my books now! I highly recommend her! It's never too late to get organized!"
Homemaker, Great Grandmother
"As an engineer and business owner I'm a fairly organized person. But very busy and my job takes me out of town regularly. And having moved from one house to another recently, my filing system was not exactly in great order and my office ended up being a catch-all for everything I didn't know where else to put for now. So I hired Maggie, having seen her organizing skills firsthand, I knew she could put some order into my life! And what a difference it makes to have organized, neatly labeled files and an office dekluged of clutter. It's an actual office now, with supplies to hand, every cabinet labeled and everything literally easy to find and at my fingertips! No more searching for tape refills, unburying the printer paper out of the closet, spending way too much time looking for everything! I'm now in organized and don't even mind filing stuff now! She also has some unique decorating ideas as well!"
Engineer/Business Owner
"As a homeowner preparing to sell my house, I was a bit overwhelmed with the task. So I asked Maggie to help me with some re-organizing to make my place look more saleable. She was able to quickly assess my current layout and suggest a re-plan of the spaces in my bedroom, living room and kitchen. She rearranged the furniture in my bedroom which opened up the space around the bed and access to the closet. She even removed some draperies so more light entered the room and rehung decorations and pictures so the room looked more aesthetic! It was a much better utilization of space and brightened up the whole room. In the living room she re-arranged the furniture which opened up the room and the space just flowed better. She even did the same in the kitchen! I almost decided to cancel the move and stay in the house after her improvements to all the rooms!"

Vol 43 | 2018 Winter Issue | Jan 1, 2018
Article by Capt. Mark Sampson
Prior to 1993 there were no U.S. federal recreational shark fishing regulations, and as one can imagine, shark fishing to that point was like the wild west and many anglers found much more incentive to bring home everything and anything they caught than get involved in catch-and-release. Back then it was not unheard of for a boat to return with 4 to 6 big sharks on their deck, which they would hang up for photos and then dump at sea the next day.
Fortunately not as many recreational anglers were inclined to fish for sharks back then as there are now, so the impact on shark populations from this abuse was not quite as bad as it could have been. Unfortunately, a pretty strong commercial shark fishery had developed for both meat and fins, and like the recreational fishery, there were little to no commercial shark fishing restrictions either. Shark populations off our coast, and around the world for that matter, took a huge hit and suddenly the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which had at one time suggested that fishermen start targeting sharks which they classified as "underutilized species", suddenly found themselves scrambling to reign-in fishing efforts by imposing shark fishing regulations on both recreational and commercial fishermen.
The first regulations went into effect in 1993 and as far as recreational anglers were concerned, they were simple and not very restrictive. Anglers were limited to four sharks per boat per day from the large coastal (sandbars, duskies, blacktips, etc.) and the pelagic groups (makos, blues, threshers, etc.) and five sharks per person per day from the small coastal group (Atlantic sharpnose, bonnethead, etc.). There were no minimum size limits on any. So for the most part fishermen could still just keep on doing what they had been doing all along, leaving shark populations with almost no additional conservation.
But as it turned out, while they were not overly burdensome to fishermen, those first regulations would turn out to be the foundation on which NMFS could build a more comprehensive shark management plan, and as we know - over the years they have done just that. Recreational shark fishing regulations have gone from overly simplistic to downright confusing, and it's certainly understandable how some anglers might be somewhat bewildered by how intricate they've become. Complicated or not, as they say, "the rules is the rules" and believe it or not, in 2018 the rules are about to become even more complex! Knowing that some anglers are already fed-up with the current shark regulations, let me try and shed some light on how this whole thorny mess got going in the first place.
Right from the start, and still today, one of the biggest stumbling blocks for effective management of sharks has been the fact that so many anglers do not have the skills to properly identify the different species they're likely to catch. Here in the mid-Atlantic there are about 14 different types of sharks caught with relative frequency. Some, such as the mako, hammerhead, blue and thresher are pretty identifiable by their somewhat unique morphological characteristics (physical appearance) while other sharks such as sandbars, duskies, blacktips, spinners, sharpnose, etc. are more generic in appearance and often confused. To be truly effective, a good shark management plan must take into account special conservation needs of each individual species because the biology, life history, habitat requirements, migration patterns, populations and everything else about each species is so different from one type of shark to another. Managing all sharks by one or two sets of rules, as was started in 1993, would be as effective as managing blue marlin under the same set of rules as black sea bass. It just won't work for either fish or fisherman!
So the 1993 four shark per day "foundation" limit proved to be so ineffective as a conservation tool that it eventually transitioned to two per boat and finally one large shark per boat per day. The limit of five small coastal sharks per person also got weaned down to one small coastal shark per person. NMFS also elected to initiate and 54-inch minimum (fork length) size limit on pelagic and large coastal sharks.
In 1997 fisheries also recognized that while some shark populations were healthy enough to allow at least some harvest, certain species of sharks were either so overfished or so little was known about their numbers that they needed total protection altogether. With this in mind NMFS started a "Prohibited Species List" which has now grown to include 21 species of sharks that anglers may not keep at any time. Sharks from the prohibited list that are somewhat common catches off Delmarva include duskies, sand tigers, great whites, sandbars, longfin makos and angel sharks.
For a while, local shark anglers were able to slip into a rather familiar groove of knowing that they could take one large shark a day measuring at least 54-inches as long as it's not on the prohibited list. Other than that there wasn't too much in the way of regulations for anglers to remember. Then about a decade or so ago it was decided that in order to protect certain large coastal species of sharks in the inshore nursery and pupping areas, anglers should be prohibited from landing large coastal sharks until the middle of July. Since then local shark anglers have been limited to landing only makos, threshers, blue, sharpnose and dogfish sharks prior to July 15th. While the regulation hasn't proven to be any huge burden for anglers to follow, it did become just "one more" in a growing list of regulations shark fishermen had to learn and remember to follow.
Anglers were able to coast along pretty well with those regulations until some issues with hammerheads popped up. It seemed that according to certain studies, catch statistics and stock assessments, populations of hammerheads had declined dramatically and overfishing was occurring. Whenever a species that is managed by NMFS is deemed to be overfished the agency is required by law to do something about it by coming up with a management plan that would reduce the mortality to a level that will allow the species to recover to a certain level within a specific time frame.
Although records showed that recreational shark fishermen were taking very few hammerheads (most where taken by commercial fishermen), by law the recreational catch still had to be reduced by a certain percentage. The NMFS didn't wish to prevent anglers from landing hammerheads altogether so instead, they elected to try a two-pronged approach of increasing the minimum size limit to 78-inches (that's a pretty big hammerhead!) and requiring that anglers who have a tuna, billfish or swordfish on-board may not land a hammerhead, or if a hammerhead is landed first, then anglers may not keep a tuna, billfish or swordfish.
While the latter part of the new hammerhead regulations might seem kind of wacky, there was actually some method behind their madness. The folks at the NMFS knew that a lot of the hammerheads being boated by recreational anglers were not ones that were being caught specifically by shark fishermen as much as they were being taken by anglers primarily targeting billfish, tuna or swordfish out in the deep waters beyond the Continental Shelf or in the canyons either during the day or at night. Since it was deemed that most anglers dong that type of fishing would likely prefer to have the opportunity to boat the other species rather than a single hammerhead, fisheries figured that if they put the "one-OR-the-other" provision in the regulations that most anglers would elect to release any hammerheads they caught, thereby facilitating the desired reduction in recreational landings of the species.
Then, just when it seemed as though the stack of sharks regulations couldn't get much higher, along came some issues with dusky sharks that again had NMFS tasked with the responsibility of providing additional conservation to a specific species. Duskies are deemed to be severely overfished as a result of incidental (accidental) catches in the commercial and recreational fisheries and have been on the prohibited species list for over a decade, so they may not be fished for or harvested at anytime or by anyone. Supposedly too many dusky sharks are dying because they are not surviving the catch and release process, or in some cases as a result of anglers boating them because they either don't know that duskies are a prohibited species or because they are misidentifying them as a legal species.
In response, this year NMFS initiated new regulations requiring all anglers who intend to fish for sharks to obtain a "shark endorsement" on their HMS Permit as well as require the mandatory use of circle hooks whenever someone is fishing with bait intended for sharks. It's predicted that these two recreational regulations, when combined with a number of new commercial fishing regulations, will provide enough additional conservation to dusky sharks that it will eventually allow their populations to return to the desired levels.
Shark endorsement? Circle hooks? What the heck?! These new regulations went on the books back in April, but knowing that it might take anglers a little time to understand and prepare to comply with them, NMFS didn't schedule the start date until January 1, 2018. For the first time new shark regulations have nothing to do with what anglers can and cannot keep as much as how they may or may not fish.
The "Shark Endorsement"
Most offshore fishermen should already be familiar with the federal regulation that requires anyone who wishes to fish for tuna, billfish or sharks in the EEZ (3-200 miles off coastline) to obtain a Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Permit. In 2018 this requirement will remain unchanged and as in years past recreational anglers will still have to choose whether to get an HMS "Angling" Category Permit if they have a strictly private boat, or an HMS "Charter/Headboat" Category Permit if they take passengers for hire. However, new in 2018 is the requirement that if a fisherman intends to fish for sharks, or they would like the opportunity to keep a shark they might accidentally catch, when they are applying online for their HMS Permit they will need to request a "shark endorsement" be applied to their permit. There will be no fee for the endorsement, however, the angler will be required to watch a short safe-handling and identification training video and then answer a few easy questions about sharks to confirm they paid attention to the video.
The training video is one tool NMFS will use to help anglers properly identify dusky sharks in hopes that such knowledge will minimize the chances that they will mistakenly boat and not release duskies that are accidentally caught. It's important for every offshore angler to know that even if they intend never to fish for sharks, if they catch one while fishing for something else, and wish to keep it, they may not do so unless they have the shark endorsement on their HMS Permit. Having the endorsement will not require anglers to possess or use any special tackle or make changes in the gear they would normally use when they are targeting fish other than sharks, so there is no down-side to having the endorsement. However, those who do not have the endorsement will not be able to keep a shark at any time.
Circle Hooks
The other half of the new shark regulations is the requirement that anglers who are targeting sharks use non-offset, non-stainless steel circle hooks. Since circle hooks have been proven to provide fish that are caught and released the best chance for survival because they usually hook in the jaw rather than the gut, NMFS has determined that if recreational anglers use circle hooks when targeting sharks with bait (not lures or flies) there will be an increased chance that dusky and other species of sharks caught and released in the recreational fishery will survive. NMFS is hoping that the combined results of better educated fishermen along with the use of circle hooks result in an increased level of conservation for dusky sharks so that tighter regulations will not be needed later.
2018 Shark
Regulation Count
•One pelagic or large coastal shark per boat at 54-inches or larger fork length.
•Special hammerheads size limit of 78-inch minimum fork length.
•One small coastal shark per person.
•No large coastal sharks until July 15th.
•No hammerheads if a tuna, billfish, or swordfish has been boated.
•Shark endorsement on HMS Permit
•Circle hooks must be used when targeting sharks with bait.
So in 25-years recreational shark anglers have gone from zero restrictions to seven pretty substantial regulations that are sure to have more than just a few fishermen scratching their heads and wondering why do "they" have to make it so complicated just to catch a shark! While we're on that note, I should point out that there are actually more than just seven, but some of them are not unique just to sharks and some are somewhat limited in where they apply. For instance:
•Just like tuna and billfish, a shark must not be brought into the boat before being released.
•Shark fishing is not allowed from Ocean City's beaches.
•Sharks caught from Delaware beaches may not be brought out of the water prior to release.
•Sharks may only be taken using "authorized gear" which includes rod-and-reel or handlines. NO bow-fishing, free-gaffing or any other method of taking sharks is allowed.
•Sharks may be gutted at sea but must be brought in with the head, tail and fins naturally attached.
•Maryland anglers are required to report all shark landings by filling out a catch card and putting a catch tag on the shark before removing it from the boat or the boat from the water.
Yea, that's a lot of regulations to keep track of, and it begs the question of whether or not NMFS is going a bit overboard in trying to manage sharks? The answer to that question brings me back to what I referenced at the start of this article when I wrote that "managing all sharks by one or two sets of rules as was done in 1993 would be as effective as managing blue marlin under the same set of rules with black sea bass – it just won't work for either fish or fisherman!" Shark species are so diverse that, to truly get it right, fisheries would need to have a completely different set of regulations for every different species anglers might encounter. Imagine how bizarre that would be! Instead, to benefit fishermen, NMFS is trying to keep regulations generic when possible and then only break from the norm as necessary – as they did with hammerheads.
Over time, if anglers get better at identifying shark species NMFS might begin to initiate more species-specific management, which will be a bit of a double edged sword for fishermen as they will see more regulations, some of which might be more restrictive on some species, but they may also become more liberal for others. For instance; many anglers are probably unaware that the 54-inch fork length minimum size that anglers must abide by for large coastal and pelagic sharks came about because it was determined that 54-inches was the size at which a female sandbar shark became sexually mature. That size has nothing to do with makos, threshers, blacktips or any other shark that recreational anglers are likely to bring home for dinner. Sandbar sharks are no longer even allowed to be taken by recreational anglers, but that arbitrary measurement is still being used to determine if the other species can be retained or not. Maybe for some sharks that measurement should be larger, while for other species it should be lower. Either way it just goes to show how, despite the increasing complexity of our current shark regulations, there is still a need for improvement.
As our knowledge of the biology and life history of sharks increases, so will the challenge to properly manage all sharks in a way that balances a necessary level of conservation with anglers rights to participate in the fishery.

Where I am wrong make me willing to change, and
where I am right make me easy to live with!"
Am I the only one who is rather behind the play having only discovered Cast-on and the joys of podcasting?! I admit I have only had my I-pod a few months but really I did "find" the podcasts early on and DID download some. [The ones whose titles appealed] But the past couple of weeks I have been hooked on listening to Brenda's smooth tones while extrollling the virtures of knitting and more.
Never been much of a conformist I have listened to some out of order but have now begun back at the begining. So have just listened to episode #2 "A knitter's manifesto" .
This has got me thinking, after looking up exactly what "manifesto" meant what was "my policy"? My rules or lack of ... how did I approach my knitting..
1. Knitting being something I started before I can remember , it sometimes feels as if I was born knitting. I mean I can't even remember those first stumbling attempts of knit and purl I guess I will knit until my hands no longer can hold needles or the brain fogs over. This hopefully leaves me many years ... I mean you just have to see the stash!
2.I will always be open to new techiqnues and fibres. Always learning and being willing to learn. Never have a "know it all attitude". After all there is more than one way to do anything!
3. Never miss a chance to pass on the addiction. Spread the fibrey goodness around after all it is the best form of stress release going. Have a willingess to share and teach.
4. Also never miss a chance to enhance the stash. I have to be able to have plenty to share if I am to do the above two , now come on!
5. Always be true to my instincts....... if I "know" it will be too short/long/wide give in early and rip before I waste a "lifetime" knitting what will be ripped anyway.
6. At the moment , put my "soul" , meaning into my work. Try and convey the message strongly.
7. Always try and "never" follow a pattern.... make it my own! Even in a small way.
Hmm that will do for now... what do you think?? What and how would you write your own manifesto? If you haven't heard Brenda do go and listen. I must admit to a slight feeling of guilt. I mean this enjoyment is free!! One day, when I have my life back and am not supporting [ helping ] two grandchildren I will be able to pay something for the efforts of such as Brenda. At the moment tho charity definately has to begin at home.
Enjoy >^.^<
"Knitting by the fireside and on the hillside: a history of the Shetland hand knitting industry c.1600-1950"
by Linda G. Fryer
A fasinating read. It is based on a thesis that Linda did so the book is very comprehensive indeed! But if like me you have an interest in Shetland lace and in anything to do with the history and background of knitting in general you will enjoy this book. I am only up to chapter two , reading in bed being the only time I normally get and only as long as I can stay awake this will take a while. But worth a look at.

Volume 33
"…without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
(Hebrews 11:6)
Over the last months, we have taken a hard look at the subject of faith. Today we continue our study by focusing on the role of faith in prayer especially for those who are sick. Immediately a caution flag goes up because all too often prayer is used as a subterfuge to substitute for a lack of faith or an avoidance strategy to sidestep the necessity of the action of faith. Many people run from person to person to have them pray concerning some healing need they are experiencing. Now it certainly is acceptable and even wise to receive prayer in times of such need, but when people run to others to pray rather than develop their own faith based prayer life, then problems emerge. This can be especially hazardous when you consider the important role of faith in receiving from God.
To intercede for someone who is sick or to receive prayer if you are going through a time of sickness is certainly Biblically sound as James 5:14-15 points out, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." Here we see the call for prayer when sickness strikes, but we must be careful to also note the emphasis on faith in this scripture. It is the "prayer of faith" that will save the sick. Whereas intercessory prayer is a means of bringing healing to a sick person, the prayers offered must be of faith. People sometimes question whose faith it is that brings forth healing results, the faith of the sick person who asked for prayer or the faith of those praying. I personally believe it is both. In this scripture the sick person is the one who is told to call for the elders of the church to pray on their behalf. It stands to reason that a person would not bother to call for prayer if they did not have enough faith to believe that such praying would do some good. Likewise, elders of the church are by definition supposed to be people of faith. What we see here is a combining of faith forces to bring about healing results. Nowhere does this scripture suggest that prayer is to be a substitute for faith. Quite the contrary, it is the prayer of FAITH that saves the sick.
Under some circumstances, the faith of another person can prevail so that God will heal through that person's faith, but that is not God's preferred way. The best route is for each person to read and study God's Word and become built up in his or her own faith. Every person needs to be equipped to deal with the "fiery darts" of the wicked one. Ephesians 6:13-18 instructs, "Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace." This is a serious call to personal spiritual growth leading to the development of faith. We are to learn how to take up the whole armor of God so we can take our stand of faith when life is extraordinarily challenging.
Now notice the next sentence of this passage from Ephesians and observe the importance granted to faith. Verse 16 reads, "…above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one." The words "above all" suggest that faith is a powerful device of urgent necessity. Once it has been established in the heart of a believer, it is available as a weapon to tear down those things that fight against the Word of God. When sickness strikes, many emotional and mental issues arise. Faith, which originates with the Word of God and develops though application of the Word of God, becomes our shield. We are to use faith to calm the fears, the doubts, and the discouragements that come when sickness has settled in. Verses 17 continues with, "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…" Here we see the coupling of the Word of God and faith. As the Word develops faith, faith propels right actions until God's power accomplishes His purposes. God always fulfills His promises to those who stand on His Word by faith.
This passage from Ephesians concludes with verses 18 saying, "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints." The phrase "praying always" reminds us of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 which commands, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." It also brings to mind James 5:16-18 which states, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit." Notice this scripture emphasizes the qualities of being fervent and praying earnestly. It is only by faith that one can truly pray in such a passionate manner.
Fervent prayer offered in earnest, persevering and prevailing faith is a very powerful combination. There is no substitute for faith. It is a crucial part of everything we do concerning God. "…without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). Only by faith can we believe in God enough to trust Him with the deepest needs of our lives and only by faith can we appropriate and receive the fullness of His promises recorded in His Word.
God has promised to be Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord our Physician, the Lord who heals us (Exodus 15:26); however, we must exercise our faith to trust Him to fulfill that word in our lives. As we do that, we can see Jesus, in our mind's eye, walking the countryside healing multitudes. We can hear Him say to us in a comforting and reassuring way, "Only believe. Have faith in God. Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well" (Luke 8:50; Mark 11:22; Luke 17:19). "Only believe…" seems almost impossible at times, but that does not have to be the case. We can believe God in all and every circumstance if we have done our homework. If we have thoroughly studied the Word of God and embraced its truth as our personal truth, faith has begun to form. Empowered by faith, we apply God's Word into our life and in doing so He responds to our faith stand. If we have consistently and persistently trained ourselves to act by faith on God's Word, He is always faithful to bring to pass the Word we are standing upon. The challenge to "only believe" becomes almost automatic under those circumstances and prevailing faith becomes the force that carries us through.

Missionary Theology and Jesus Christ
Christianity is Christocentric. Christ, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, is its object of faith and worship. Since He provides the supreme example and pattern of conduct, service, attitude and direction for life, a study of His life is illuminating and inspiring.
We concern ourselves here only with His relation to the world and to worldwide missions. What was Christ's attitude toward non-Jewish people? Does He relate His ministry to the world of nations? Was Christ a nationalist, particularist and provincialist, or was He a universalist? Was He an internationalist with a world mission? Were the benefits of His life and death designed for one people? Or was His ministry directed toward the nations of the world? Was Jesus in the days of His flesh conscious of His racial significance and of a universal mission? Did He have a universal horizon, a wider outlook than to restore Judaism?
Christianity would answer the last questions in the affirmative, seeing that present-day Christianity is substantially made up of peoples from the nations, so the universality of Christ is taken for granted. However, considerable debate has revolved around this point. Well does Dr. Samuel Zwemer summarize four historic views:
The first is the extreme view of Hegel, Tolstoi and others that Jesus was anti-Semitic and conscious only of a universal mission! The exact opposite view is that Jesus was at heart a Jew and limited His horizon and message to the house of Israel. Reimarus, Strauss, Wellhausen, and Harnack are representatives of this other radical view and they have had many followers. A third school of critics says that Jesus was at first narrow and Jewish and that only toward the end of His life did He become conscious of a world-mission (Keim, Hausrath, Bertholet, Bernard Weiss).
Against all of these radical views is the traditional one held by believing scholars, Roman Catholics, and Protestant — namely, that Jesus from the outset of His ministry had a view of humanity as a whole, but felt that He was sent especially to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and that His earthly ministry was mainly to the people of Israel. Nevertheless, He taught His apostles by degrees that He was to be the Savior of all men and finally gave them their universal mission.
Because His earthly ministry was mainly to His people, the question arises: Was such restriction a matter of principle or a matter of methodology?
The Portrait of Christ
The four gospels present an authentic record of the life, words and work of Christ. But they are not written as a "life of Christ"; they are too brief and too sketchy for that purpose. Rather, they are four portraits of Christ or four presentations of the same Person from four points of view. Each of the evangelists portrays Christ accurately but according to his own purpose and intent, within his own frame of reference and design, without contradicting, destroying or minimizing his Coauthor's arrangements.
We admit that serious limitations and difficulties are encountered in an attempt to build a harmony of the gospels or a "life of Christ" upon the gospel records. However, a marvelous beauty appears when we synthesize the four portraits rather than harmonize the records. As we see Christ in His fullness and behold an ever enlarging view of Him as portrayed in the gospels, His missionary thrust and compassion become overwhelming. He shines forth as the ideal Missionary, the Apostle of God.
Assuming that Mark was the first to write his record, we note his historical-existential manner of presentation. Having been personally acquainted with Christ and having accompanied Peter on his journeys, Mark writes as a Christ-filled Jew. He introduces Christ as the Prophet of God and as the Servant of Jehovah. His whole portrait is that of the Prophet of God speaking forth the message of God and the Servant of Jehovah ever active, accomplishing the will and purpose of God. Beautifully he summarizes it in a quote from the Master: "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many" (10:45).
The urgency of such a ministry becomes emphatic in the constantly recurring words, "and," "immediately," and "straightway." The scope is expressed in the command to herald the gospel to all the creation (16:15-16). He is the Prophet whose message must be heralded in all the world (13:10).
Matthew principally accepts the portrait of Mark. However, he proceeds to enlarge it and add to it the royalty of Christ. The authoritative kingship of Christ becomes most prominent in Matthew. Fusing beautifully the various aspects of Christ's life, the writer proceeds to set the portrait of the royalty and kingship of Christ into the frame of Old Testament revelation to give it the full authority of the God of creation and history. He points out how Christ is the fulfillment of the visions and prophecies of Old Testament seers, the embodiment of anticipations and aspirations of mankind, and the reality behind all Old Testament typology. In Christ, spiritual reality has appeared and the shadows must flee. Beautifully, Matthew beholds the King to whom universal authority has been committed, issuing a command that all nations be discipled and united into a single body under the lordship of the triune God.
To the already enlarged portrait, Luke adds the priesthood and saviorhood of Christ which, though implicit in the previous presentation, had not been so fully amplified. Luke, no doubt, had first learned it from Paul; he had then experienced it in his life. Finally, diligent research led him to accept the fact and theology of it. This enlargement he then places into the framework of universal history which begins with Adam and which he sees as God's theater of activity without blurring the line between Heilsgeschichte (sacred story) as seen in Israel and general history as seen in the nations. The universal validity of the priesthood and saviorhood of Christ is evident from the genealogy which begins with Adam and culminates in the universal significance of the death and resurrection of Christ and the offer of repentance and remission of sins in the name of Christ among all nations as expressed in the commission of Christ.
The largest portrait is painted by John. In no way does he contradict the previous writers, nor does he erase or modify these portrayals. Though not explicitly stated, the reader "senses" that John appreciates all that has been said by the previous gospelers who are reflecting the views of the writers, numerous eyewitnesses, and the testimonies of Peter (Mark) and Paul (Luke). John, however, swings beyond and above them and lifts the curtain that we might see the position of Christ as the eternal Son of God, coequal and coeternal with the Father in His metaphysical and cosmic relationships. In the gospel of John, Christ is known as the Logos, the light which lighteth every man, the life, the Son. These concepts directly or metaphorically express unqualified deity.
In Christ, God directly relates Himself to this world spoken of as kosmos. Seventy-nine times John uses this concept and sets forth the various relationships of God to the kosmos. In the strongest possible terms, John presents the universalist activity of God. God is not a particularist in His interest, love and relationships; He has the world upon His heart and in His purpose.
We are informed that "God so loved the world, that he gave ..." (3:16). "God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (3:17). We are told that Christ is "the Lamb of God, which taketh away [beareth] the sin of the world" (1:29); "the Saviour of the world" (4:42); "the bread of God is he which ... giveth life unto the world" (6:33); "the light of the world" (8:12; 9:5; 12:46). The Holy Spirit is spoken of as the Comforter who will convict or "reprove the world" (16:8).
Whatever else the above passages may teach, the fact is firmly established by John that God is in benevolent contact with the world. In Christ Jesus there exists a redemptive relationship between heaven and the kosmos. The Holy Spirit is at present actively involved in this redemptive relationship. While this may be mysterious, it is nevertheless real. The Holy Spirit is convicting men everywhere (16:8), and He is drawing men from among all nations to Christ (12:32).
Thus we have an ever enlarging and deepening circle in the gospels. It is personal and cosmic. It is highly individual — "whosoever," and it is racial and includes all.
We are moving first into the historic-existential (Mark), next into the scriptural and revelational (Matthew), next into the universal history (Luke), and finally into the cosmic and metaphysical (John). Time and eternity, heaven and earth are spanned in Christ, and God and man become reconciled.
We have the portraits of Christ as the Prophet of God and the Servant of Jehovah in Mark, as the Messiah of God and King of kings and Lord of lords in Matthew, as the Priest of God and Saviour of mankind in Luke, and as the Son of God in truth and reality who comes to bring life and immortality to man in John. Thus in Christ the fullness of God dwells bodily, a fullness adequate and available for all who believe.
The missionary movement and implications of such presentations are evident and overwhelming. Progressively but certainly Christ will triumph in all spheres of His relationship because He is indeed a missionary Christ — the Christ of all mankind and the Lord of the whole kosmos.
The Major Theological Concepts of Christ
The sense of the missionary thrust of Christ comes into clear focus as we consider His basic theological concepts and presuppositions. All of them are filled with missionary content and charged with missionary dynamic. They only awaited Pentecost to be discharged with full fervor and force. We summarize these basic theological concepts and presuppositions of Christ by pointing to His focal point of proclamation, central revelation, unique self-identification, supreme purpose, declaration as final Judge, and the Great Commission.
Mark summarizes the proclamation of Jesus Christ in these words: "Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel" (1:14-15).
Even a cursory survey of the gospels will soon convince the reader that the concept of the kingdom of God was most prominent in the teaching of Jesus and formed the focal point of His proclamation. He began with its preaching (Mk 1:14-15) and ended with a discourse on it (Ac 1:3). In between, numerous references point to it. Direct statements about it and parabolic interpretations of it characterized His preaching. Christ was, indeed, a Preacher of the kingdom of God (compare His more than sixty references to it in the gospel records).
The author is well acquainted with the literature that has either sought to identify and/or to differentiate between the designations of "kingdom of heaven" (in Matthew's gospel) and the "kingdom of God" as found in all four gospels and in the epistles. Since these technicalities do not enter into the present thesis, no pros and cons need be discussed.
We are interested in the meaning of the concept "kingdom of God" as it reflects either the particularism or universality of Christ. This concept is not altogether an Old Testament concept. In its full form it does not appear in the Old Testament. While its roots are there, its full blossoming forth is found only in the New Testament.
In the Old Testament we find the following facts: God is the King of Israel in a particular way; God is the King of all the nations in a general way; God is the King of all creation in a providential way.
To this the New Testament adds a new dimension: It is emphatic that God is the King of the inner man. It adds the inwardness, immediacy and actuality of the kingdom and kingship of God, making it personal, spiritual, moral and social. The kingdom of God is in you. God is the King of eternity and immortality, thus indicating the "otherness" and otherworldliness in value and nature of the kingdom and kingship of God. It lifts the concept of the kingdom out of space and time in origin and ultimate design and transplants it into the realm of the transhuman and transearthly in quality and duration.
The kingdom of God includes all of these aspects. It is individual, national, racial, cosmic. It is personal, spiritual, moral, social. It is worldly and timely. It is also transworldly, transhuman and eternal. It is history, yet it is ultimate. It is timely, yet it is eternal. It is qualitative, yet it is also spacial.
From the above it is evident that a simple definition of the kingdom of God is not sufficient. It is also well illustrated by the literature on the subject and the three basic hermeneutical systems of Scripture interpretation which have grown up around it: postmillennialism, premillennialism, and amillennialism.
It may be well to think of the kingdom of God in qualitative and quantitative terms. Qualitatively we may consider it as threefold:
a. The rule of God in the heart of man. The kingdom of God is within you. It is immediate and actual. As such it is moral, not nationalistic; it is spiritual, not materialistic; it is actual, not idealistic (that is, it is present and not totally futuristic).
b. The rule of God in the church. Neither God nor Christ is ever spoken of as the King of the church. Christ is the Lord of the church and this is but a Roman modification of the king or rulership concept. As Lord He is sovereign over His church. Thus Paul went about preaching the kingdom of God (Ac 14:22; 19:8; 20:25; 28:23, 31). In the epistles he uses the kingdom concept at least fourteen times. Certainly Paul did not feel that the church was not related to or a part of the kingdom of God. The content of his references, however, betrays that he thought of the kingdom more in moral and ethical terms than in terms of authority, royalty and rulership.
The fact remains, however, that Paul knew Christ as the Lord of the church. He is the Head of the church, and the church is His body (Eph 1:23; Ro 12:5; Col 1:18). To Christ belong all right, authority and rulership in the church. He bestows gifts and He dispatches His ambassadors. He is sovereign Lord of the church (Eph 4:7, 11; 2 Co 5:20).
c. The rule of God in the world. As such, though it is personal, it has strong social implications through the ministry of the individual Christian and the general impact of the gospel upon the conscience of society. The presence of the gospel in this world constitutes judgment, modification and enrichment of the order of society. It is strongly social in its general impact, regulating all relationships according to the will and purpose of God. As such, though it is local within the individual believer and the church of Jesus Christ, it is universal in the sense that the gospel is to be preached to all nations and that the church is to be constituted of believers from among all nations. As such, though it is present within the individual, within the Christian church, and within the providential government of God in this dispensation, its full manifestation is futuristic — first in the millennial reign of Christ upon the earth over all nations and, finally, in the consummation when the last enemy shall have been destroyed and the Son shall have subjugated all things, "then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all" (1 Co 15:28). It is immediate, progressive and cataclysmic.
Quantitatively the kingdom of God concept implies a realm, an objective reality. Repeatedly Christ admonishes man to "enter the kingdom of God," "receive the kingdom of God," "to give you the kingdom of God," "sit in the kingdom of God," "eat in the kingdom of God." Such expressions emphasize primarily realm and objective reality rather than a reign, though the latter is not excluded.
From this brief survey it is evident that there is nothing particularistic in the focal teaching of Christ. To the contrary, as God is not the God of the Jews only but of the nations also, so the kingdom of God is not the Jews' only, but also the nations'. The kingdom of God concept is definitely universalistic in designation and implication.
Christ has unveiled for us the riches of heavenly truth. Indeed, he is the truth, for "grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." However, in the midst of all the splendor of revelation which came in and through Christ, the manifestation of the Father towers above all other truth. "The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him," or as the New English Bible translates, "No one has ever seen God; but God's Son, he who is nearest to the Father's heart, he has made him known" (Jn 1:18).

What People are Saying About This
A welcome addition to the bookshelves of missionary literature. Dr. Peters has done a remarkable job in dealing with the fundamental issues of missions today. It is truly a study book and should be studied thoroughly by all who have any interest in the field of missions.
-Calvary Review
A major work on missions from an evangelical viewpoint . . . a good job of setting forth the biblical teaching on missions and refuting modern liberal alternatives.
-The Banner of Truth
Throughout the book, certain emphases come through loud and clear: the theocentricity of the Christian missions, the importance of proclamation, the centrality of the local church and the lordship of Christ. A solid and significant contribution to the literature on missiology.
Probably no specifically missionary book has ever undertaken as profound and comprehensive a treatment of the subject as this one. The distinctiveness of the book is the way in which it unifies and integrates the whole range of theological themes in and around the idea of missions. There is here a view of missions that is authentically biblical and soundly theological, and in the inimitable style of Professor George W. Peters.
-Alliance Witness
A thorough survey . . ."
-Christianity Today
This book is scholarly, spiritual and easy reading because of the warm missionary compassion that flows through its chapters.

Now, I feel like Einstein. Three months of 'so called' project in my core subject and it is done once for all. By mentioning Einstein, I wasn't referring to the brains or even the experiment but my hair has just turned out that way with ample sunshine everyday..he he.
It all began last year with HOD demanding that we find a sensible project in some good company. But the point is that the GOOD company had to take us!!But who listens??Like the intrepid and daring travellers, my friend and me first started searching for a project and almost begged for it towards the end(ok ok ,no details on that).As we are the future telecom engineers(with us as the engineers , I doubt if the telecom has any future?!?!),we started with the same industry i.e. AIRTEL,BSNL(they gave projects to both computer science and information technology students but not for ECE) and AIRCEL.All denied our requests by simply saying that the labs have tight security and allowing us would be dangerous.Poor things,they really didnt know our abilties.After telecom,our destinations were predictable-WIPRO,PANASONIC and BPCL.Each of them had their own excuses .After all that search,we became desperate because it was almost project period .Suddenly the idea of asking at the Chennai Port Trust hit us.But what has an Electronics engineer to do in a port?When we put forth the same question to our HOD,she simply said that our seniors had done projects there.That was enough and two almost exhausted nuts reached there the very next day.
The first day at the port was the most unforgettable. Hey, of course not in a good sense.What happened was that the bonafide from our college costs us (can you beat that??..yup,20 solid bucks for each bonafide) and we have a habit of submitting the xerox at all places.We did the same at the port.The director was so strict and he found out that is was not the original.The reaction-he flung it in the air!!And my friend did some gymnastics and caught it in mid air while I stood frozen staring at his face.I found myself shivering and was quite happy to see my friends hand trembling too.After certain initial blasts he finally allowed us to do a project there.However he warned us that the projects would be old and not very useful for average scorers (ya,the average scorers) but we agreed because we needed a company certificate.We were asked to meet his minions and the usual running around the place began.The only thing I don't like in Chennai is the sun and it was unusually scorching at that time(what at that time..cha..all the time) and we turned very much the darker shade.When we enquired about the title and the projects offered,they weren't good and one of the supervisors hinted that we could get help somewhere.That was it!!the next day we were in search of a project centre(ya,the same place where you almost get the project done).To be frank,it wasn't our laziness or languid nature but our aim was to complete our project successfully with an output.As recommended by our HOD,we hit a centre at Nandanam and chose the embedded field.
The tragic story part-two began here.I really don't know why but we had problems with everything-with coding,output,slides and enhancements.We hit the centre almost everyday either fighting them or simply what I call negotiating and occasionally gave attendance at the port to show our progress.Our guide at the port was very flexible and friendly.The certificate was assured.
But the problem at college did not end.HOD found our project too simple and demanded enhancement.Thanks to Jimmy Wales,Wikipedia is a boon.We searched the net for all possible enhancements (and occasionally sneaked into orkut..he he) and found one totally hilarious -something like a loud speaker.We got the entire circuit from one of the electronics sites.The HOD wasn't all that impressed but it was the best we could find.
Hey!How could I forget the reviews?It was a classic performance-a big time comedy(well you guessed the jesters:)).We made everyone happy(ya ya,they laughed their heart's content)-HOD,staffs and even our juniors(now,I am waiting for their turn:)) .We say something and they laugh.So,all the reviews went on this way(and I still wonder why we spent time on the slides when no one was interested).It was during the end of project that we found our enhancement not compatible and a big thanks goes to our classmate who pointed out that it wasn't possible(Thank god that some technical guys do exist).It was as usual the last minute galata and we needed to get it done somehow.The solution was obvious-the ritche street(for people who aren't aware of ritche street-it isn't just a street but a long stretch of road at Chennai where absolutely any electronic gadget is available).
Here began our tragic story part three.When we got down from the bus,we didn't know into which corner we turned but our heads and the corners began to spin at the same time.We went into every shop we could find but the IC wasn't available.The enhancement idea was dropped(and we made a point to buy a couple of ear plugs for the reasons everyone can find out).
The project at the centre was done(with lot of persuasion and slogging) and when the kit were in our hands ,we felt like warrior princesses.With a smile stuck on to our faces, we proceeded to get the certificate at the port.That guy was a sweet heart. He simply looked at our project and was satisfied with our efforts and the certificate was issued within an hour.Now,for the report.All we had to do was fill pages with what we had done.More the pages ,more you have slogged-that was the general idea. After 7 semesters at our University ,that wasn't going to be hard.After referring to many old reports, we finally got ours done.
We planned to take the print out at Kodabakkam-supposed to be cheap and fast .The grave mistake we did was to go there the day before our submission. I have seen queues at passport office, ration and even near water pumps but this was the first time I saw queue at all Xerox shops. 'Wait for half an hour to one hour' was the standard reply.We finally managed to get into(actually crammed into and considering my size, it was a bit comical) one of them.After time moved like snail,we got ours done. Though we both weren't entirely satisfied ,didn't mention that to each other. It was very late in the evening when we gave the print out for binding.I left the place earlier and my friend waited.We got only one book bound as the place was crowded.
The project is almost over and it looks like half the battle is won.The final review is yet to be done and think it wont be much of a problem(as always,saying is easy).
When we were doing the things and working, it seemed hectic and irascible but after all that is done, I think I enjoyed every moment. Hmmm…Life is that way:)

Mordian Iron Guard, one of countless regiments of the Imperial Guard. For my readers who are unfamiliar with the Mordians, they're basically Prussians....IN SPACE! Or to elaborate, the Mordians come from a world where one side is burned to a crisp because it perpetually faces the sun, while the other is constantly exposed to the darkness of space and completely frozen. All of the population lives in hive spires on the dark side of the planet and order is only maintained through ruthless and relentless discipline. The result is the Mordian Iron Guard, regiments clad in bright blue dress uniforms which bear more than a passing resemblance to old Prussian Dunkelblau uniforms. The Mordians' main tactic is to form unbreakable lines of men pouring disciplined volleys of fire into the enemy until either the enemy is routing or dead, or they overwhelm the Mordians with superior numbers and firepower. In either case it will be a costly action for the enemy and the Mordians will remain stalwart against the Emperor's foes.
Iron Guard focuses specifically on the 114th Mordian Regiment, also known as "The Unbreakables", a regiment with a reputation for stalwart determination and discipline over and above the typical Mordian regiment. For the past year they've been helping put down a disorganized rebellion of false Emperors and many have grown bored with the ease of the assignment. Especially since the tide has begun to turn and it appears the world will soon be safely back under the watchful gaze of the Emperor. While half of the regiment will remain behind to continue the process of mopping up the remaining rebels, the other half is being sent onwards to Belmos VII, a world inhabited by a single city surrounding a mine of important raw materials for Imperial war materiel. Although contact with Belmos VII is infrequent at the best of times, a message has recently been received which had made the regional bureaucrats greatly concerned and they want the 114th to go investigate and handle any problems or rebellions that have occurred.
The thing I like most about this book is that it manages to go a different path from most Imperial Guard novels without straying too much from the formula as well. If you read too many Imperial Guard novels, after a while they start to blur together because they're all war novels. There may be differences in the specific details and the specific objectives people are fighting over, but it usually boils down to Imperial Guard and enemies fighting over stuff. Heck, I even got bored with some of the stories in the second omnibus of the Gaunt's Ghosts series because the stories felt so much the same to me. In the case of Iron Guard, though, there is a very spooky element towards the beginning of the story, very much like a horror story. As the 114th goes into the city on Belmos VII they find it entirely deserted, with no signs of life at all. Which is especially concerning because the planet had been out of contact for a few weeks, implying something very, very bad has gone down. As their investigations continue the 114th finds that the people of Belmos VII may have stumbled onto something far more sinister than initially anticipated.
I will say that this book falls on the darker end of the spectrum when it comes to the Imperial Guard novels. Generally speaking these books tend to fall broadly into two categories, either they honor and perhaps to an extent romanticize the sacrifices of the Imperial Guard in humanity's endless war with aliens and heretics, usually showing how their efforts are able to make a positive impact in humanity's plight. On the other hand there are stories that underscore the futility of humanity's war on a thousand fronts and the billions of lives thrown away to try and keep the tottering establishment of the Imperium up for just a little longer. Iron Guard definitely falls into the second category with at least one character ruminating on the senselessness of their struggles and his frustration with how officers seem to callously throw men's lives away only to further their careers. Obviously both sorts of stories have their own merits and some might say that the grimmer types of stories are more in keeping with 40k's notoriously dark outlook. However I personally prefer the more positive stories, but that's a matter of personal taste.
Towards the end of the book the author also brings in other elements of the 40k universe without terribly much explanation of who or what they are and their respective motivations. It's touched upon but they definitely have the feeling of coming out of nowhere and sort of stumbling into what had previously been a survival-horror story. If you're a 40k veteran then you'll be fine because Clapham's not introducing new concepts but rather utilizing pre-existing ones, but if you're new to the lore than you'll probably be confused more than anything else.
Overall I liked the survival horror elements, which felt in some ways sort of like Aliens, which is a pretty good movie. So it makes a refreshing departure from some of the more by-the-numbers Imperial Guard novels. However, if you're not familiar with various parts of 40k lore than you'll probably be confused in the latter third of the book when strange things show up with little warning or explanation. Still a decent read for those who've been around the universe for a while.

"The Complete McAuslan"
♥ Book Title : The Complete McAuslan
☯ Full Synopsis : "From the author of the international bestselling Flashman series, George MacDonald Fraser, come the hilarious stories of the most disastrous soldier in the British Army. Here are the tales of Private McAuslan, J., the Dirtiest Soldier in the World (alias the Tartan Caliban, or the Highland Division's answer to the Pekin Man). Fraser first demonstrated McAuslan's unfitness for service in The General Danced at Dawn. McAuslan continued his disorderly advance through the pages of McAuslan in the Rough. The final volume, The Sheikh and the Dustbin, pursues the career of the great incompetent as he shambles across North Africa and Scotland, swinging his right arm in time with his right leg and tripping over his untied laces. Whether map-reading his erratic way through the Sahara by night or confronting Arab rioters, McAuslan's talent for catastrophe is guaranteed. Fraser's talent for entertainment and satire are just as certain."Article| George MacDonald Fraser| Statement ..."

Investments make up approximately one-sixth of the U.S. GDP. These days Bitcoin is one way people are investing their money. Bitcoin is a form of digital currency with a market cap of over $7 billion. The typical investment strategy of buying low and selling high is utilized by traders of this cryptocurrency. Recently, Bitcoin has experience its toughest losses so far; the virtual token fell as much as 8.4%. This is in part due to the many inherent risks of BTC, decreasing the value of this new cryptocurrency.
There are several reasons to explain the phenomenon: first, it doesn't have enough transaction volume, which makes it not qualified enough to be a currency. Second, it suffered from a series of hacker attacks, one of which caused the trading platform to crash down on June 15th, 2017. Security problem became the biggest concern for investors. Third, the overall technology market experienced a serious downturn during the past few months. Thus, some investment bankers were not optimistic about the future of Bitcoin's worth. It's important to remember the number one rule of investing is diversification. So whether or not you think Bitcoin is amazing, don't put all of your eggs in one basket.
"So buying into Bitcoin has, at least so far, been a good investment. But does that make the experiment a success? Um, no. What we want from a monetary system isn't to make people holding money rich; we want it to facilitate transactions and make the economy as a whole rich. And that's not at all what is happening in Bitcoin."
—— Paul Krugman

Government honors 16 companies that generated 8,300 jobs
Award highlights projects that relied on the support from Investe SP and have started operations; ceremony marked the unveiling of the new websiteInveste SP
AGC, Ajinomoto, Caterpillar, Comil Ônibus, Duratex, Embraer, GE Transportation, Gerdau, Hyundai, IBM, John Deere, Liebherr, Martifer, Melhoramentos CMPC, Natura and Toshiba Medical do Brasil were honored by São Paulo State Government on Thursday, December 5, at the Noble Hall of Palácio dos Bandeirantes. Together, they invested approximately R$ 6.2 billion and created 8,388 jobs.
The honors were handled during the second edition of Investe São Paulo Award, organized by São Paulo's Agency for the Promotion of Investments and Competitiveness. These are companies that have conducted investment projects in the State of São Paulo with the support from Investe SP and whose projects are already in operation. The mayors of the cities that welcomed these companies also attended the ceremony.
The Award Ceremony also included the launch of the website www.encontreumsocio.com.br, a free tool (english version coming soon) created by Investe SP to help entrepreneurs find partners, investors, agents, distributors and partners for the transfer of technology in any sector of the economy. There was also a presentation of the new layout of the agency's institutional website (www.investe.sp.gov.br), including several new features to make life easier for entrepreneurs who are interested in investing in the state.
The event marked the 5th Anniversary of the agency, which so far has already announced 65 investment projects in the state, totaling R$ 21.3 billion and creating 49,700 jobs. According to the president of Investe SP, Luciano Almeida, the award was created to bring entrepreneurs closer to the state government.
"In addition to providing assistance free of charge, we also have the mission to act as a bridge between the private sector and government institutions. Investe SP Award was developed to gather entities, municipalities, institutional partners, diplomatic bodies and especially entrepreneurs who believe in the continuous development of the state," said Almeida.
During the ceremony, there was also a video with the testimony of the chief editor of FDI Magazine, Courtney Fingar, about the classification of Investe São Paulo on the IPA Innovation Awards. It was the only Brazilian agency to be recognized with this award, awarded in the category "best practice/exchange initiative" for having created the professional exchange program with investment promotion agencies (IPAs) from other countries.
"The exchange program amazed us because it brings a different initiative for professional development, allowing the employees of the agency to learn from other companies and promote the State of São Paulo internationally at the same time. I hope other investment promotion agencies adopt this idea, since I only see benefits," said Fingar.
An award certificate was sent from the headquarters of the entity that publishes the magazine, the Financial Times, in London, for the governor Geraldo Alckmin to handle to the president of the agency during the event.
"We are here to recognize the work of each one of you for the benefit of our citizens, creating jobs and opportunities. I would like to thank the work, effort and dedication. São Paulo is a partner of those who invest in our state generating wealth and opportunities," said the State governor.
To the Secretary of Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation, Rodrigo Garcia, the award reinforces the role of the state in promoting innovation, entrepreneurship and attracting new investments. "The Government honors companies that believed in the infrastructure, in the good level of education, in the skilled labor when expanding their business and contributing to the acceleration of the state economy," he said.
The president of Investe São Paulo also took the opportunity to talk about the importance of the network of strategic partners who help bring the agency closer to potential investors. "International investment promotion agencies, chambers of commerce, Apex, consulates and embassies. These are the partners who help us promote the State of São Paulo as an investment route, "he added.
Approximately 300 guests attended the awards ceremony, including top executives of the awarded companies and other investors supported by Investe SP, state and federal authorities, mayors, ambassadors, consuls, members of chambers of commerce from various countries, heads of institutes of research, education and technological development, as well as opinion leaders.

Thornton Hibs secured a hard-fought point in the pulsating 3-3 draw with high-flying Haddington Athletic last Saturday.
Chris Ireland cancelled out Andy Jones' opener from the penalty spot before Max Coleman put Hibs infront before the break.
Garry Thomson restored the hosts' advantage after Jones levelled things at two apiece but they were unable to hold on to the lead as Declan Quinn equalised again to maintain Haddington's nine-game unbeaten run.
It leaves the Hibs in mid-table whilst Haddington lie third in the East Premier League almost halfway through the season.
As far as the spectators were concerned, this game had plenty of goals which, after all, is what they pay their money for but for the respective management teams, the 'quality' of some of the defending they watched had them pulling their hair out.
Jones gave the visitors the lead from the penalty spot in the 8th minute after he had been brought down by Ryan Linton.
Within 60 seconds of the re-start, Ireland made it all-square with a fierce drive from a long ball into the box.
Thornton went ahead in the 42nd minute when Coleman coolly shot home his first league goal of the season and this completed the first-half scoring.
Jones claimed his and The Hi Hi's second goal of the game in the 55th minute when he raced unchallenged from the half-way line before shooting low past Linton.
But just two minutes later, Thomson put the Hibs back in front.
Haddington sub Quinn, completed the scoring in the 72nd minute and although both teams had further chances to win, there was no more scoring with perhaps a draw being fair.
Thornton Hibs: Linton, M.Robertson, A.Drummond, S.Drummond, Shields, Coleman, Keatings, Hepburn, Ireland, Thomson, McNab. Subs: Crichton, Feeley, Shanks, Strachan, Costello.
