The 3rd temple
What about the third temple? .. I feel that you need light on the subject .. because you're not too well understood Jesus' mission, nor the various dispensations ..
I teach what to do to keep the Spirit of God that we have received at our baptism, to grow .. there is nothing to add, nothing to subtract .. everything comes from God. . God taught me, God speaks to me .. does God speak to you ?.. He's If you do not hear, you would do well to read what I write in my teaching? :
They are written to strengthen the election ..
Psalms 91:
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and I honor him.
Isaiah 65:
24 Before they call upon Me, I will answer; Before they had finished speaking, I will hear.
The temple was created to worship God in the time of Solomon, during the time of the law .. It was the place where sacrifices were burnt for several reasons: prosperity, forgiveness, gratitude, etc .. Before this stone temple it was the ark of the covenant, and the tabernacle ..
And the twise was destroyed, because of our sins, it was destroyed because we have forsaken God .. because we idolized ..
God seeing our weakness, Jesus sent us, and made us go inside in another dispensation: .. a dispensation of grace superior to the law .. Jesus makes us perfect to enter in the millennium, well, we , elected .. the millennium is a taste of our world and heavenly nature .. the elected not know death ..
Apocalypse 20:
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Here is a nice explanation of Hebrews on the subject .. but I repeat, the Bible is reserved for elected officials, and it is with the Spirit of God that we can understand and act .. for others, unfortunately everything is veiled .. so to remove the veil, we must change our behavior, our way of doing ..
Hebrews 9:
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, not the very image of the things,
can never with those sacrifices which they offer continually every year, make perfect those who draw near.
4 For
it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore, entering into the world, he said, 'You do not want to sacrifice nor offering, but you have made me a body.
You do not take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin;
9 -then he said, Behold, I come to do Your will.
It takes away the first to establish the second.
10 By this will we have been sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, By My laws into their hearts, I will write them on their minds, he said,
17 And I will remember me ever their sins and their iniquities.
Now where there is remission of these, there is no more offering for sin.
Of how much worse punishment do you think will be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, who considered profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the spirit of grace?
Jesus has come as Holocaust can never go back, but rather, we will go forward, the heavenly Jerusalem, a new heaven and a new earth ..
Apocalypse 21:
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
When is it the law, knowing that Jesus told us there will be nothing abolished, until all is accomplished? ..
Matthew 5:
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass, it does not pass from the law one jot or one tittle, until all is accomplished.
There are several points to understand in this passage ..
There is the law of God, that He has written on stone tablets, the Ten Commandments ..
There is the law and the ordinances of the law, those that He gave to Moses for our instruction, and also so that we fear God, with the various sacrifices, bonds and punishment ..
Today, after the sacrifice of Jesus, everything is done, because Jesus came to conquer death and give us eternal life .. here we are talking about the Torah .. It can not be any bloodshed, as we have read in Hebrew .. Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice for all things .. Jesus intercedes for the saints, for all things, forgiveness, prosperity, thanksgiving, etc ..
But we will remove anything when the lessons, for example, do not sleep with her niece, a brother valedictorian who have a contagious disease, we depart from our woman during her period, help a brother in need , leave a corner of our fields for the poor, etc ..
That will never change, and for all time .. is written by God on stone tablets of the Ten Commandments law .. God in His new covenant has written on our hearts:
Jeremiah 31:
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, and I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant,
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband, says the Lord .
33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their heart, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people;
Isaiah 55:
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me, hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, to make durable My mercies of David.
Isaiah 59:
21 This is my covenant with them, saith the Lord;
My spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in your mouth
, not depart out of thy mouth, nor from the mouth of your children nor the mouths of your children's children, says the Lord, now and forever.
Jeremiah 3:
15 And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and intelligence.
16 And it came to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD! And she does not come up to the heart, and did not remember, and did not visit, and we will do it more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord in Jerusalem; and they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel; and they shall come together out of the country from north to land that I gave to your fathers legacy.
19 And I I said, How-I will put you among the son, and I will give-a desirable country, the great legacy of the armies of nations? And I said,
you will call me, My father!
and you do not turn away from Me ...
We read that in the new covenant, God puts His Spirit upon us (
Isaiah 59:
21), and we call God our Father (
Jeremiah 3:
19) .. This passage is therefore aimed at both disciples of Jesus ..
Elected therefore do not use burnt, it was a Jewish practice of the time the law ..
Today we are in the time of grace, which Jesus brings love, forgiveness, and gave himself as a sacrifice for the saints to make them perfect and to conquer death ...
We can already see that for the adulterous woman, he did not order that the stones, but he forgave him .. Even now in this time of grace, there is more bloodshed, for Jesus spilled his blood, once and for all ..
We also remark that Jesus did not eat meat .. but the word fish is used 26 times in the New Testament .. even now, the blood stops flowing ..
Deuteronomy 5:
17 Thou shalt not kill.
But, as I said earlier, we are moving towards perfection, or a reference here:
Ezekiel 14:
13 Son of man, if a country sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand against him, and I break the staff of bread, and will send famine and subtracted from the middle of it man and beast,
14 and these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job were in the middle of it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD
Reading the passages of these three characters, we see that Daniel had more intelligence than the rest of the people because he was a vegetarian ..
Daniel 1:
16 So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine of their drink
and gave them vegetables.
And these young people, four, God gave them knowledge and training in all the letters and all the wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 And at the end of the days which the king had said to bring the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar;
19 and the king spoke with them,
and them all he did was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah
; and they stood before the king.
20 And in all things demanded of wisdom and intelligence, about which the king questioned them,
he found them ten times better
than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm.
So during the millennium and after the millennium, there will be no more killing .. we will be like in the Garden of Eden, better, more perfect ..
Isaiah 65:
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion, like the ox shall eat straw, and dust shall be the serpent's food. It shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, saith the LORD
Isaiah 66:
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck, one with an offering that is like pig's blood
, who incense is as if he blessed an idol; All of them revel in their ways, and their soul finds pleasure in their abominations.
We can read in these two passages from Isaiah that the blood does not flow, whatever the reason ..
So what about the third temple? ..
Matthew 24:
15. That is why when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel,
standing in the holy place
, whoever reads, let him understand -
2 Thessalonians 2:
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first and is the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped;
so that he sitteth in the temple of God
, showing himself as God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what it holds to be revealed in his own time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who restrains now, will do until later.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the appearance of his coming;
9 whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 and in all deceit of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth and so be saved.
11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The third temple, as we have just read will be created to receive the beast, the devil .. Word which we confirmed by Daniel .. Recreated for unbelievers to destroy .. (late passage Thessalonians) the antichrists ..
Daniel 12:
30 because the ships of Chittim shall come against him; and will be discouraged, and return and be angry against the holy covenant, and he will;
and he will return and will focus on those who forsake the holy covenant.
And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of the fortress, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they will place the abomination that causes desolation.
And with sweet words, it will lead to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant
but the people that know their God shall be strong and act.
And the elders of the people shall instruct many
; and they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.
34 And when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And of the wise shall fall, to try them as well, and to purify them, and blanch until the end time; because it is yet to be determined time.
36 And the king shall do according to his good pleasure, and be exalted, and shall rise against every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods; and he will prosper until the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.
37 And he will have no respect for the God of his fathers, and he will have no regard to the object of desire of women, nor any _dieu; because it will grow above all;
38 and, in its place, he honor the _dieu fortresses, with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things, he will honor a _dieu that did not know his fathers;
39 and he will act in the strongholds of the fortresses with a foreign _dieu to recognize that it increase with glory; and he shall rule the many and shall divide the land as a reward.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south will strike against him, and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships, and enter the country and flood and go further;
41 and it will come in the land of beauty, and many countries will fall; but they escape out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the son of Ammon.
42 And he will stretch out his hand over the country and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 And he will have under his power the gold and silver treasures, and all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow in his footsteps.
44 But news from the east and the north shall trouble him, and go forth with great fury to destroy and completely destroy many people.
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; and he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Daniel 13:
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the son of thy people;
and it will be a time of trouble, such as there has not been since there was a nation until that time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that is found written in the book.
2 And many who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, others to shame for being an eternal abhorrence.
3 And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and those who have taught many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
The operation of the devil, last 7 years, divided into two half .. to seduce, to destroy half .. Then came Jesus, the devil is binding for a thousand years, and we enter the millennium ..
Daniel 9:
25 Know therefore and understand, From the moment the word to restore and build Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the driver, there are seven weeks; sixty-two weeks: the street shall be built again and ditches, but in a troubled time.
2 Thessalonians 2:
9 whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 and in all deceit of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth and so be saved.
11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
the plagues
Apocalypse 13:
4 And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; -
And the power to act forty-two months
was given to him.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And he was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth, whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb slain, he will honor.
We must understand that we are the temple, spiritual .. And now than ever, a disciple of Jesus would not kill or an animal or a person .. as in Eden, where there was no bloodshed. .
2 Corinthians 6:
16 ET what agreement he has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God said, I will dwell in them, and I walk, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Another thing .. you can read in the passage from Zechariah 14 that after the coming of Jesus, is therefore at the entrance of the millennium, all will come to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, to receive God's blessing. . this is admissible because it is a holiday that we observe, but against party, the end of the chapter talks about sacrifice, and there, this passage is not in the spirit of the millennium .. C is an added way, because the millennium is more perfect than Eden .. no blood shed .. also, we have to be careful when coming to know of this verse .. knowing that our Bible is manipulated and implementation page by Jews and Catholics by mutual agreement .. both enemies of God .. different on different continents .. to cite one example, the Jews have taken
Psalm 22
Zechariah 14:
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness to the Lord; and the pots in the house of the LORD shall be as the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy, holy to the Lord of hosts; and all who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein. And there will be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts, in that day.
Good meditation .. peace be upon you ..

Bernd Solomon was born March 28, 1922 in Koblenz, Germany to Rosa Stern Salomon and Sally Salomon. His childhood was interrupted by the rise of Nazi Germany. He and his father were arrested November 9, 1938 on Kristallnatcht, the Night of Broken Glass, and spent the night in jail while his synagogue was burned to the ground. Soon after, he and a cousin were able to obtain visas to England but unfortunately he was never able to help his parents escape. They both subsequently perished in the Holocaust, something for which he never forgave himself.
Once in England he tried to join the British forces but was denied because, though Jewish, he was still German and classified as an enemy alien. He lived in London working as a baker and survived countless bombing raids during the Battle of Britain. After the war ended he joined his grandmother in New York upon learning that she had survived
In New York, he worked tirelessly, first as a baker and then as a taxi driver. He met and married Marianne Schadt, also a survivor, who predeceased him 2000. They had two children who both became physicians, a great source of pride. After retirement, they moved to Middletown to be near their children and grandchildren.
While living in Middletown he was an active member of Temple Sinai and could be found there most Saturday mornings until he became too ill, He was always available if needed for a prayer service. He drove until he was 92.
He is survived by his children, Arlene Roshko and her husband Boris, and Stephen Solomon and his wife Ellen, and four grandchildren, Benjamin and Jeffery Roshko, and Melissa and Daniel Solomon. He was sad that he would not make it to Daniel's college graduation next year. The grandchildren were the light of his life.
Our dad will be remembered as a truly honorable and humble man. But he will also be remembered for his delicious Opa marble cake, often found at gatherings after having shared the recipe with many family members and friends.
Funeral services will be at Temple Sinai, 75 Highland Ave., Middletown, NY on Sunday, February 11 at 11AM with burial to follow in the Temple Sinai Cemetery, Circleville. Shiva will be at the home of Ellen and Stephen Solomon on Sunday after burial and Monday through Thursday evenings from 7 PM until 9 PM.
Donations can be made in to either Temple Sinai, 75 Highland Avenue, Middletown, NY, or the United States Holocaust Museum.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Cornelius, Dodd & Connell Funeral Home, Middletown, NY.


text: Met the wonderful Chris Ehrmann who has just set up an agency called Goldteeth & Co in NY (cos guess what, he has gold teeth!). Fell in love with Benjamin Bouchet's work shown here. Adore the almost daylight lighting in these shots and the bonkers arrangement of shoes, bags and groceries around the rather exquisite home. Thinking the dresser in my kitchen doesn't look so dissimilar although a lot less chic... Goldteeth & Co

There's not much I can say about day 3 in Thailand. Just kidding, there's plenty!
We woke up early, for us that is. Our kayaking adventure was set to start at 8:15 AM and we wanted to get breakfast. My alarm went off at 6:45 AM – knowing full well we'd make it through several snoozes before actually getting up I had set the alarm quite early – and both of us groaned. I hit snooze and before you know it, a half hour had gone by. Rolling out of bed we quickly threw on our clothes, pulled our hair up and headed down for breakfast so we'd have some energy for the day.
Breakfast was surprisingly pretty tasty, given our horrible food the night before. They had a number of mini buffets to choose from including a fruit station, a Thai/noodle station, sausage and eggs, bread and pastries, etc… and coffee, oh how I grew to love coffee while Riley was here.
After breakfast we went down to meet the travel agent and wait for the shuttle. The agent let us know that we needed to talk to him when we got back, and with that we were whisked away in a little open truck to the kayak training center. The company we kayaked with is called Chiang Mai Mountain Biking & Kayaks, and they were awesome. Really friendly, fun, and safety oriented. We had about 30 or so minutes of training in which the instructor gave us tips on how to handle various situations on the river – later we got actual practice in – as well as fitted us with our gear.
This was the only picture taken at the kayak company's building.
At this point we were all hurried in to the vans and started off. Little did we know the kayaking site was nearly a 1.5 hour ride from Chiang Mai. We made a pit stop about 45 minutes into the ride to buy snacks, drinks and use the restroom and then headed back out on the road. The views were gorgeous. The mountains and jungles are just stunning and the guides were seated with us. It happened there were just two less seats than kayakers, so my sister and I got seated in the van with the guides. They entertained us and were very friendly. One of them made sure that we took selfies with him.
Had to use the bubblegum filter.
Apparently the guide is a huge fan of fishing and asked Riley to bring back a harpoon gun for him the next time she comes to visit. We both laughed… he was completely serious.
Once we finally arrived at the kayaking site I realized I hadn't put any sunblock on, thinking we'd be in the jungle most of the time. Thankfully one of our fellow kayakers noticed I was already starting to burn and offered me sunblock… At this point Riley made the dreadful mistake of not asking if she could use some too.
-Sorry I have no pictures for the kayaking trip. I brought my GoPro so I do have video which I'll post once I get the chance! –
UPDATE: I forgot my sister brought a camera from the kayaking company so I do have pictures!
Piling into our kayaks, they pushed us off one by one into the river and has us practice strokes for a good 15 minutes or so and then… we were off.
Thailand is mesmerizing. The first hour or so of our trip we floated along the river has it wound through tall grass, open skies, and the occasional perfectly sunlit tree. The sun was beating down on us surprisingly hard for December, but the water was a lovely cool temperature and I couldn't help but keep dipping my fingers into the water… I almost wish I had fallen out of my kayak just as an excuse for a quick swim.
Riley was the first, but certainly not the last to fall out of her kayak. We had been kayaking for about 2 hours when up ahead I suddenly saw a big splash. It was right on one of the trickier river rapid turns, and we were all being called to hurry through to pull into the eddy. As I passed by the splash site, I realized it was my sister. I have to apologize, but I did laugh. I just wasn't expecting her to be one of the kayakers to turn over (a couple fell out in the same spot). Sorry, Riley!
The next hour or so was quiet as we slipped into the jungle. With the river now covered with the shade of trees and the river picking up pace a bit, the going was a little easier although the sun had already done its damage to our skin as we later realized. So thankful that gentleman gave me sunscreen or I would have been beet red at this point.
We stopped for lunch which was surprisingly delicious. This may have been the only Thai meal I had there that I truly enjoyed, I'm still not sure if it's because it actually had a little kick to it or if we were just starving…
The next 3 hours of kayaking were much more fun in my opinion as the river started getting a little faster and had more turns to maneuver. I won't go into more detail than that except to say it felt similar to being in a Tomb Raider adventure movie just because of how beautiful and exotic the scenery truly was.
Riley and I chose to go on the beginners course since neither of us had kayaked rivers before. I'm glad we did, although the kayaking itself wasn't too challenging aside from a few bumpy turns the length of the kayaking route was quite intense.At about 12-15 miles (20-24km) we were completely exhausted by the end, I had blisters on my hands, Riley was quite sun burnt, and more than a few people mentioned "being so over this."
After handing up our paddles and kayaks the team directed us with a wave of the hand to go get changed in a small restroom. Where that restroom is, I'll never know. I gave up looking for a place to change and used Riley's long skirt pulled over my head to change under. There was a local Thai man standing a bit down the street laughing at us, but I was just happy to be in dry clothes and ready for the trip back.
This may have been the shed we were supposed find.
I fell asleep on the ride home.
Once back at the hotel Riley and I decided to go out to check out the night market and get something to eat. We ended up eating at one of the Indian restaurants in the Night Bazaar. The chef/waiter/host was so nice and even made our food extra spicy on request. I think the Masala tea may have been the best I've had in a long time. I'd eat there again.
After dinner we went and got ice cream and walked around purchasing random items from some of the souvenir booths for friends and family back home. Afterwards we went back to the hotel, showered and laughed until we were in tears.
We watched Spongebob until we fell asleep. Like we were kids together again.

The rapper known as Hobo the Ghetto Bastard has released his latest hip-hop album, "Hobo Funk the Great Hip Hop Depression." The album comprised of nine original tracks has been published on the Swamp Street Records Inc. music label. With heavy doses of funk and rap in equal measure, "Hobo Funk the Great Hip Hop Depression" stands as evidence that the West Coast sound will keep booming, so long as hip-hop heroes like Hobo the Ghetto Bastard keep cutting titanic records like this one.
His love for the great Motown players shines through on his "Great Hip Hop Depression" album giving his brand of rap music a bass-filled back beat and funky groove which rap music has been largely lacking for decades. Fans of the genre who have missed these elements have a treat in store for them with Hobo the Ghetto Bastard's album which brings back that G-funk sound in spades. He has called his style 'hobofunk' from which his new album takes its name. It's not all mere sound, however. Hobo's record boasts some excellent lines and rhymes by any standard. Some themes from his album include the seductiveness of sexy women, growing up a fatherless child, buying a big-body car, romantic break ups, world change, traveling, and the principle of social unity.
Hobo the Ghetto Bastard hails from the famous G-funk hotbed of Long Beach, CA which has given the world such legendary talents as Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, and Warren G. Hobo the Ghetto Bastard's own style fits well with Snoop's and blends perfectly in a playlist containing rappers like Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. Perhaps surprisingly, Hobo himself cites none of these as main artistic influences by name. He lists instead Marvin Gaye, Tupac Shakur, Gil Scott and Stevie Wonder, as well as the G-funk subgenre as a whole.

Many businesses begin digital transformations with a lot of energy and good intentions, but fail to create lasting change. A year down the line, the same leaders can end up around the same table where they first initiated the efforts and wondered where it all went wrong. More often than not the answer comes back to the same thing: company culture. Without changing how your company operates at a fundamental level, individual changes to your digital strategy won't lead to real transformation.
To achieve long-term impact, companies need to reimagine how their products and services deliver value to their end users. An organizational culture that stresses aligning decision-making with business goals throughout their digital transformation efforts is significantly more likely to succeed. The focus should be on making changes to give end users a better experience, making it more likely they'll take the action you want them to take–whether that's a sale, a download, a newsletter sign up or some other metric. Instead of treating the symptoms of failure, a successful transformation drills down to solve the actual problem that's preventing users from taking the desired action in the first place. Meaningful improvements to a business can only happen if the whole company culture is focused on affecting business outcomes.
Achieving that alignment starts at the top of the organization. Leaders have to weave this mindset across their company to break apart the silos that stand in the way of integration. Take, for example, a company that tries to implement a new e-commerce solution without integrating customer service and logistics into the plan. A development team could build the most fantastic website on the market, but without the ability to deliver products on time, the aesthetics of the site don't matter. Customers will notice the fractured experience and look for a better solution elsewhere next time they need it.
A company's culture is collectively determined by its people. At every level, people want to contribute their feedback and experience to the digital transformation effort. Building a culture that abolishes silos will empower people to collaborate and make decisions. Your employees are on the front lines of building and providing your customer experience. It only makes sense to give them the ability to implement your digital transformation. When they have the freedom to construct solutions across their departments, no success will exist in solitude. Marketing success will feed into sales success, supported and enhanced by the transformation gains made up and down the organization.
Companies that succeed with digital transformation know it's not a fad. It doesn't come solely from a new piece of hardware or updated software. It comes as the result of a culture focused on listening to users and aligning around business goals. That's how they make the transformation permanent, and how they get ahead of the competition.

The Secret Project
This project, led by the Arts Resource Centre, was intended to address two issues. One was in-class engagement. What would the classroom experience be like if every student had a tablet computer? Not a smartphone, not a laptop, but a tablet. Like, say, an iPad. All students involved in this project (a couple of intro psychology classes, some economics, and political science) were going to be given free loaner iPads. There would be an option to buy out the lease at the end of term, meaning students would get to use an iPad for free for 4 months, with the option to buy it at a discount. (Did I mention that it would be free?)
I went to seminars put on by Apple, got a loaner iPad 2 (the day before the iPad 3 came out, argh!), and experimented with a lot of apps. Apple even offered us the use of some of their app development team in Cupertino.Cool! In a too-good-to-be-true way.
Unfortunately, the lease cost of the iPads kept going up and up until it was out of our price range. (Hey, someone has to pay for all those iPads!) At that point, the focus shifted to the much less-expensive ASUS-made Nexus 7 tablet. Our experimental team members designed the research side of things, to measure how using tablets would affect student learning and engagement. Those of us on the instructional team used our loaner iPads to work out how we would engage students in class with this technology. The team leader applied for research funding. Everything was clicking along fine--until it all went off the rails.
Two days before the devastating provincial budget was released, we were told that our application for funding had been denied. The little money we had wasn't going to be enough to supply multiple classes of students with tablet computers. The many hours we spent meeting, discussing, reading, and preparing for this project were all for naught. Although, there was still the other part of the project...
I shouldn't really talk too much about the other issue that this project was going to examine--after all, this is still an ongoing research project (even if it is radically scaled back). If I blab about it and reveal our hypotheses, it may affect the results. I think it's safe to reveal that we are interested in how you learn outside of the classroom. In fact, I've got a meeting today with a publisher's representative who is working with me on this project. And we're collecting baseline data in my intro psych class today. Beyond that, I'm afraid everything else is going to have to remain...a secret.
Why aren't you studying?

I read your blogpost and was very interested in your project idea. Would the idea of incorporating tablets be useful for any schooling other than university? For example, I think the idea of giving every high school student an Ipad is a bit unrealistic in the sense that it will be used for things besides studying.
However, how are you sure that students in post secondary won't waste their time on their Ipad? What if this leads to a net loss of time used while studying?

@Bashir: There are some school districts that are starting to use iPads in the classroom. I'm pretty sure they're "locked off" and only have apps on them that are required for schoolwork.
I think there might be a danger that some people will be dazzled by a new gadget--as I was at first. After a while, though, I just started to use it to do the things that I normally did. It took the place of a piece of paper or my desktop/laptop computer. That is, I just used it to get work done.
I was worried that, in class, students would use the tablet for, say, Facebook. But then I realized that students are already using their gadgets to do that. (Yes, I do notice that, people!) Those who are serious about doing work and learning will still do that--with or without a cute new gadget.

Patience is integral to one's enjoyment of Breakfast On Pluto, Neil Jordan's adaptation of the novel by Patrick McCabe. Fifteen minutes into the film, as subtitles helpfully translated the chirping of robins and lead Cillian Murphy laid on the diva act with a trowel, I was ready to call it quits.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the end credits. As the movie progressed, Jordan's eccentric choices and the life journey of his never-say-die protagonist both began to work on me. In a startling turnaround that trumps even the Chicago Bears' recent worst-to-first seasonal ascent, the movie springs from hard-to-watch to difficult-to-resist. By the end, it's hard to let it go.
Working from McCabe's source material, Jordan follows the misadventures of transvestite Patrick "Kitten" Braden (Murphy) as the lad navigates his way through the often dangerous terrain of Ireland and England in the 60s and 70s. Taking a whimsical approach to the episodic structure, Jordan's movie feels like a melding of Forrest Gump, Candide and the strain of "magical realism" that was so fashionable in the foreign cinema of the 1990s.
Liam Neeson, Stephen Rea and Brendan Gleeson appear in support, but this is clearly a tour-de-force for Murphy. Best known for Batman Begins and Red Eye, Murphy initially appears to be coasting on Kitten's flamboyant traits. Yet as our understanding of the character deepens, Murphy's bravura turn grows in stature. He nails his swish shot -- in more ways than one.

(by Mike Walker^) In his post last month, Steve Davies bemoaned the lack of evidence on the magnitude of harm deterred by the activities of the Competition Agencies. He presented some estimates from research in CCP on cartel deterrence, concluding most strikingly: "On the most conservative of our estimates, more than half of all potential cartel harm never occurs, because it is deterred. This is very much a lower bound, and the proportion could be as high as 90%." Read the rest of this entry »
The deterrent effect of competition authorities' workSeptember 15, 2017
Can care homes survive with privately funded residents cross-subsidising those who are state funded?February 2, 2017
(by Morten Hviid) Care homes often take a mix of privately funded and state funded residents. Recent research by a leading provider of market information about the care home sector, LaingBuisson, assesses that the average fee per resident with a local authority (LA) assisted place fell short of what it costs care homes to provide the care by £104 p.w.. They also argue that the shortfall is picked up by private fee payers who are thereby providing a cross-subsidy. They refer to this as a hidden "care tax". The existence of this cross-subsidy is nothing new. The predecessor of the Competition and Markets Authority, the OFT, found the same in a report from 2005. However, the size of the cross-subsidy is notable. Even without assessing the strength of the new research, which is not publicly available, several aspects of this news story are worth pondering further. Should LAs use any buyer power they might have when negotiating prices? What are the consequences for the care market from the cross-subsidy? Why are care homes willing to accept below cost prices? These questions have added current importance because the CMA is undertaking a Market Study into the care home market. Read the rest of this entry »
Flight Centre: Australian High Court finds agent competed with principal and breached cartel lawsJanuary 9, 2017
(by Julie Clarke[1]) On 14 December 2016, Australia's highest court (the High Court) determined, by majority, that Flight Centre, a travel agent, competed with airlines for the supply of airline tickets and that, as a result, its attempts to induce the airlines to lower their direct-to-public ticket sales constituted unlawful price fixing. Flight Centre markets itself as offering a 'Lowest Airfare Guarantee'. In attempting to induce the airlines not to discount tickets sold direct to the public, it was found to be in competition with the airlines and therefore subject to a per se prohibition rather than a full effects analysis. The treatment of travel agents and other similar arrangements falls into somewhat of a grey area in Competition Law. Are the agents competing horizontally with their suppliers in selling to consumers, or are they better seen as vertically related retailers, or even as de facto employees? This is important because horizontal cartels are almost universally per se illegal, often with criminal sanctions, vertical price fixing (e.g. RPM) has a much more mixed and nuanced legal position, and employees are completely exempt (a firm is free to set prices that all its salesforce must implement). In Europe, genuine 'agency agreements' fall outside the scope of Article 101 TFEU, even though they may contain clauses that can produce anticompetitive effects, such as minimum pricing.[2] This blog analyses the significance of recent developments under Australian Competition Law.

Will much change in Antitrust post Brexit?July 8, 2016
(by Andreas Stephan) The UK's decision to leave the European Union has come as a shock to markets, politicians and indeed to many 'Brexiteers'. Although protests demanding a reversal of the outcome and legal wrangling over Art 50 (the process for leaving the EU) continue, mainstream politicians have almost universally accepted the result (the obvious exception being in Scotland) and there is little evidence of public perceptions having shifted towards 'Remain' since the vote, despite accusations of a dishonest and misleading campaign by the 'Leave' camp. It is therefore almost certain that the UK will cease to be a full member of the EU. Bruce Lyons wrote about the (limited) advantages and (greater) disadvantages of Brexit for competition policy in an earlier blog, but here I suggest that much may remain the same regardless of what the UK's new relationship with the EU ends up being.

Drug prices post-Brexit – an expensive pill to swallow?June 15, 2016
(by Farasat Bokhari) Much has already been written about the potential effects of Brexit on both the British economy as well as the rest of the word, vis-à-vis effects on immigration, employment, wages, inflation, investment, growth and so forth, and by now we know that either the sky is going to fall or it will be like manna falling from the sky. Definitely one of those two. Reality however is a bit more nuanced, and what follows may be sector specific and depend on the regulations and terms that are negotiated upon exit. Post exit, will the UK be on its own in terms of trade agreements with the rest of the world, or will it, like Norway, be able to enjoy benefits of a single market by entering into European Economic Area (EEA)? Not to be gauche, how does it affect the price of my medicines here in the UK? While the Farage v. Cameron debate rages on, in this blog I give example from just one sector – pharmaceuticals – to discuss how prices of branded drugs, which include new and important therapies, may increase due to various trade agreements post Brexit.

Unfair purchasing practices and the Groceries Code of Conduct: the Tesco investigationFebruary 1, 2016
By Ignacio Herrera Anchustegui (University of Bergen). On 26 January 2016 the Groceries Code Adjudicator made public its investigation into Tesco plc concerning the possible breaches of the UK Groceries Code of Conduct. After an almost yearlong investigation the Adjudicator determined that Tesco had engaged in unfair purchasing practices prohibited by the Groceries Code of Conduct ("the Code") by delaying payments that were due to its suppliers. Although the Adjudicator did not impose any financial fine on Tesco, it did issue five recommendations to be followed by the supermarket retail chain in order to prevent payment delays in the future. This blog discusses the Tesco case and its implications for future investigations. Read the rest of this entry »
The European Commission's Battle Over Pay-TV Services: Can Segmenting the EU Market Be Justified?July 24, 2015
(by Andreas Stephan) Yesterday the European Commission issued a Statement of Objections to Sky UK and six major US film studios, taking the preliminary view that restrictions put in place to prevent consumers located elsewhere in the EU from subscribing to pay TV services amount to a breach of competition law. The question is whether these entertainment companies can respond with a real justification for dividing the market for European Pay TV services along national lines. Read the rest of this entry »

Cloud Based Telephony
Restricted by the traditional capabilities of a landline?
According to industry sources there are over 7 million workers in the UK that are predominantly field or home-based rather than office-based.
A large number of businesses lose valuable working hours – and even entire working days – due to disruption caused by bad weather, transport strikes and family sickness.
With Aspen's cloud based telephony service your employees can work from anywhere there is a broadband connection just as productively as if they were in the office. This makes the home worker as accessible as an employee in the office and ensures they have all of the communication tools they need to effectively work from home.
For employees that require further flexibility, Aspen can provide Mobile and Desktop apps which enable more convenient methods for making calls at home or while on the move. A Mobile or Desktop user receives all of the same business features and benefits as any other user.
Download this whitepaper that will explain more about "How to make your workforce more productive" and share it with your customers.
What Telephony Can Do For You:
Core Services
- Hosted Broadsoft Enterprise Telephony

Benefits of Using Hosted Telephony:
"SMEs using cloud telephony as part of their business technology are growing up to 26% faster than those who don't. They are also delivering 20% higher profits. Nine out of 10 of these businesses attribute this growth to the technology solution they are using"
Source: Deloitte survey of UK SMEs, PWC survey of UK SMEs.
- Enables mobility because employees can work from anywhere, with an internet connection
- Releases resources to focus on business growth because Aspen's Cloud telephony is delivered as a service – just like other utilities
- Facilitates national and international expansion
- Improves ability to respond to growth spurts and seasonal changes in demand because businesses can rapidly scale telephony capacity up and down
- Optimises investment because your business only pays for the telephony it requires and does not need to invest in hardware or software
- Avoids recruitment and retention of specialist staff; this is becoming a critical growth benefit because of the UK's technology skills shortage
- Strengthens business continuity because our cloud telephony is delivered as an always on service; if disaster strikes telephony traffic is rerouted ensuring your business keeps running

A Creative Afternoon Walk in Inglewood
a Special Little Man
a Special Little Man
After a long and busy month of photo sessions and editing, I felt the itch to get out and find something interesting to shoot. Just for fun. So, I grabbed my sweet boy (who decided to stay home from school as he "thought" he was sick) and we headed to the oldest neighborhood in the city. A revitalized neighborhood enriched with quaint locally owned authentic cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and antique thrift stores. We had a nice little lunch at a Mexican restaurant and then ventured out onto the streets to find inspiration. It was only a matter of time before the colors and textures of the 100 year old buildings announced their beautiful rustic and hysterical presence.

Winterflood was fined after two of its traders had "engaged in market abuse" following a share ramping scheme involving Fundamental-E Investments. The fine was levied on Winterflood for failing to notice warning signs or query particular trades in computer screen company FEI in 2004, a firm for which Winterflood was the marketmaker.
With no allegations that Winterflood deliberately committed an offence, the crux of the marketmakers argument, according to reports in the FT, is whether its failure to spot the share ramping can be considered abuse under the FSA's Code of Market Conduct.
Charles Flint QC told the court that Winterflood accepted orders from SP Bell, a regional stockbroking firm headed by Simon Eagle. The firm was placed in administration in 2004 after it was found that a number of its customer's accounts had been used to buy about £10m worth of shares from FEI.
Flint added that the FSA had found Eagle was involved in "a share ramping operation" and Winterflood was "not party to that illegitimate purpose".
Winterflood argued that the FSA had a requirement to prove an "actuating purpose", in the firm trying to mislead or distort the market.
The court reserved its judgment.

Jil Sander Spring '12
Natasha Poly And Daria Strokous For Jil Sander Spring '12
January 6, 2012
Natasha Poly is on a roll with Spring campaigns. The Russian-born model scored a coveted spot in Steven Meisel's Prada ad and is the star of this season's Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-lensed Dsquared² campaign. She's also the face of Proenza Schouler's just-released Spring '12 campaign, featuring their forties-inspired collection. Now, add Jil Sander to the growing list. Raf Simons enlisted Poly and Daria Strokous (who also appears in Louis Vuitton's candy-coated campaign) for the brand's new Willy Vanderperre-shot images (pictured). Here, the two look like they are in a horror film, but it's a very stylish one, to say the least.

text: A Learning at Luke . . . Taking a Double Take at Double Tape by: Kevin Acord Last Saturday I decided to attend the Fall on Your Knees class being offered at our church through October. I was expecting to learn something about prayer, but little did I know, I was in for much, much more. Ms. Leslie brought pieces of paper with various thoughts on prayer for us to put into the notebooks we brought with us. She was even thoughtful enough to bring several rolls of Scotch tape for us to use to put the papers into our notebooks. When I got my roll I noticed that it was double sided tape. I immediately thought, "I can't use this, it's double sided tape; it will make the sheets in my notebook stick together!" My next thought was, "Classic, Ms. Leslie!" In that fond, warm, yet patronizing kind of way I all too often think and speak. As soon as there was a break in the teaching, I passed the roll back to Ms. Leslie and asked for another while pointing out the silliness of trying to use double sided tape. Ms. Leslie then said, "Yes, I handed that out so one side could stick to the back of the handout and the other could stick to the notebook." Doing it that way never even crossed my mind. I couldn't believe I missed something that simple. Immediately, the Holy Spirit said to me, "Kevin, how many other times have you thought you did things the right way and judged someone?" "What other areas in your life could you be stuck doing things a certain way?" I guess it's worth a double take.

a Roofer or Waterproofer
Roofing is a very physical trade that offers excellent wages and benefits. I recommend this craft as a career choice for anyone who doesnt mind a good days work for a good days pay.
—Michael Maguire, Administrator
What Do They Do
Roofers specialize in putting roofs on buildings and other structures to make them waterproof and weatherproof. They apply composition shingles, tile, slate and composition roofs. They use modern equipment to handle their materials, thereby lessening the physical exertion that was formerly required. Roofers are also called up to waterproof and damp-proof walls and other building surfaces.
Working Conditions
With the exception of waterproofing of some walls, the roofers work outdoors in all kind of weather and only shut down operations when the weather becomes too severe. Most of the time they work on the top of buildings installing roofing materials. In their work, they do a great deal of climbing, kneeling, standing and walking.
Interest and Temperament
Roofers must have no fear of height, have a good sense of balance and a better-than average sense of safety for themselves and their co-workers. Persons wishing to enter this type of work should enjoy working with their hands and accept working outside, sometimes under unpleasant weather conditions.

A city couple have celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary with family and friends.
John Rowley, 84, went to Tranent Primary and then high school in Tranent. He left school at 14 and went to work at Walled Market Garden in Tranent, weeding and picking fruit. John then became a driver for British Road Services where he was a driver for 27 years, making deliveries across Edinburgh.
He then moved to become an HGV driver for John Lewis for 22 years, and did the daily run between Edinburgh and Newcastle until his retirement in 1995 when he was 65.
Mary, 79, went to Dalry Road Primary and then Tynecastle High. She left school at 15 and went to work at the Caledonia Rubber Company in the office. Mary then moved to Carlow Baxter to continue her office duties. She then went to work for Marks and Spencer in 1957 when it first opened in Princes Street. It was from here she retired in 1993 after more than 30 years of service.
It was when Mary was working at the Caledonia Rubber Company and John was making deliveries that they first met. Their first date was at the Central Picture House in Musselburgh.
The couple married on a snowy day on March 5, 1955, at Dalry Church and then Westfield Halls, Gorgie. It was attended by many family and friends, and best man Teddy Slater and bridesmaid Nancy Anderson.
Their honeymoon was to Berwick-upon-Tweed to the Tweed Hotel, and the pair admit they mainly remember it being really cold.
Sadly, after being married for just six weeks Mary was admitted to Southfield Hospital at Liberton for a year to receive medication and rest for TB. From their first house in Gracemount they got a swap to Tranent. They moved to their current house in 1985.
In 1959, daughter Elaine was born followed by son Mark in 1961. They have four grandchildren – Gareth, Christopher, Daniel and Lauren – and two great grandchildren, McKenzie and Lola.
Mary loved dancing and was a regular at Westfield Halls and The Palais.
John's love is football and is a big part of his life. He played with Prestongrange Rovers before taking up management positions at Elphinstone Primrose and Tranent Boys Club, where he won East of Scotland trophies. John is a season ticket holder at Hibs and goes regularly with his son, daughter-in-law and friend. He often sees many of the boys who played football for him and likes to reminisce about these times. He hopes to see Hibs lift the Scottish Cup.
They have enjoyed many holidays abroad and more recently bus trips, with their favourite up north for New Year. They keep in good health and love keeping up to date with all the family news.
When asked the secret to a long marriage, they say it is to remain good friends and always work things out when you have had an argument.

A substellar component orbiting the F-star 30 Arietis B *,**,***
Thüringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg, Sternwarte 5, 07778 Tautenburg, Germany e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
2 Hamburger Sternwarte, Gojenbergsweg 112, 21029 Hamburg, Germany
Accepted: 14 September 2009
Context. Most current radial velocity planet search programs have concentrated on stars of one solar mass. Our knowledge on the frequency of giant planets and brown dwarf companions to more massive stars is thus rather limited. In the case of solar-like stars, the frequency of short-period brown dwarf companions and very massive planets seems to be low.
Aims. Here we present evidence for a substellar companion to 30 Ari B, an F-star of 1.16±0.04 that is a member of a hierarchical triple system.
Methods. The companion was detected by means of precise radial velocity measurements using the 2-m Alfred-Jensch telescope and its échelle spectrograph. An iodine absorption cell provided the wavelength reference for precise stellar radial velocity measurements.
Results. We analyzed our radial velocity measurements and derived an orbit to the companion with period, P = 335.1±2.5 days, eccentricity e = 0.289±0.092, and mass function = (6.1±1.7)10-7 .
Conclusions. We conclude that the radial velocity variations of 30 Ari B are due to a companion with m sin i of 9.88±0.94 that is either a massive planet or a brown dwarf. The object thus belongs to the rare class of massive planets and brown dwarfs orbiting main- sequence stars.
Key words: stars: individual: 30 Arietis B / stars: low-mass, brown dwarfs / planetary systems / techniques: radial velocities
Based on observations obtained at the 2-m Alfred-Jensch telescope at the Thüringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg.

Singapore Hit AwardsWednesday, January 22, 2014
I felt so cool to attend this kind of awards event. How can anyone not be? It's like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have always watched awards ceremony behind the tv screen but never imagined how it was to be there at the venue in person.
The experience was so amazing, let me tell you. I was having goosebumps pretty much almost every minute of the event. Maybe the fact that I have never in my life attended a popular singer's concert before added to how I would be amazed about the event. (:
I didn't know that the lights and stage was going to be nothing like I have ever seen. I totally wasn't expecting all the things they could do with the lights there ohmygoodness. Sorry, pardon me for sounding like a country bumpkin.
I didn't mention this but my mom actually got the tickets by buying products from this company which was one of the sponsors for this awards. I say we got quite lucky to have such good seats. (:
We were greeted with short interviews of celebrities at the very front which we saw on the huge screen in front of us. If it wasn't for this experience, I wouldn't know fans could actually crowd around the front like they bought $1000 concert tickets to take a few good pictures before the event started. :o
So you know, we kind of just sat there taking pictures of the SCREEN. Looks like I am watching it on tv. What were we doing -.-
Just a few before we realized. So not that bad. We learnt. lol
Heard about Wilber Pan being the opening act so I was just expecting loud good music that makes you "high". But no, I got something better. Something that got my jaw dropped.
Imagine this: The lights were dimmed to a minimum. It looks like a dark room. You see a shadow standing on stage, back facing you. And then..
BOOM! The music AND freaking lights go everywhere. That view was spectacular!
Wasn't able to capture the amazing view exactly but maybe 60% of the awesomeness.
A lot of his cool facial expressions but also a lot of his funny ones! lol
I actually took so many more but if I share them all on here, I think you might get bored so i'll save it for when i'm bored. Haha
After that stunning opening act, it was time to give out the first few awards (:
Well i'm glad that I at least know that's Romeo Tan. -awkward laugh-
And also this other Taiwan artiste! Yeah another one I know. Surprise, surprise. I still remember how I was always up late at night watching "100% Entertainment (娱乐百分百)" with this guy as one of the host. Because I was that much crazy about Taiwanese dramas and actors and all that.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one!
Did you guess who he is yet?
I think Wilber Pan won the most awards out of everyone. If I remember correctly, he came up on stage more than 3 times. So here's him getting his 2nd award..
At that point in time, I was thinking I would probably run out of things to say if I received that many awards. Haha
Not to forget, that extremely popular Alien Huang.
So they are an Acapella group and they did a Medley. Interesting (:
I'm going to take a guess and say that most of you don't know her? But anyway, she sang songs that go wayyy back.
Somehow, I am amazed at how good I am at capturing unflattering candid shots of people, including mine. Obvious much?
Initially, my thoughts were that I have no idea who both of them were. Not surprising. BUT THEN, I am sure I know the song that guy sang! It surely got my sister extremely excited because it was a theme song from the Taiwanese Drama called "In Time With You".
I was just done watching that drama probably a few weeks ago when I attended the Singapore Hit Awards. Such a coincidence! Didn't really appreciate the story line but that song is undeniably, pretty good.
Got goosebumps all over myself listening to that song. You know how you would feel that when you have listened to that song before and then listening to it live. It's like wow, really hard to believe.
I think you guys would really enjoy it as much as I do, so...
I was hoping she would sing that but she didn't, sadly :/
(sorry for the terrible candid shot I got of her. My skills in that never ceases to amaze me) The only song from her which left me with an extremely deep impression was one of the theme songs from the Taiwanese drama, Meteor Garden. Please tell me you can relate. I'm sure you can!
You'd realise most of the songs that leaves deep impressions on people are from dramas/tv shows. Haha for me at least.
If you're not from my generation, I shall embed the song here for you to appreciate ok. And then which will make you want to watch the drama. Haha *it happens
If you remember, she received an award earlier before she performed. I believe a lot of audience really liked her sense of style. Really edgy.
Don't kill me, but I didn't enjoy much of his performance that night.. His dancing was alright but his singing hmm..
I had my mouth wide open when I learnt that he came, just so you know.
I bet I wasn't the only one there. And I bet from where he was standing, he would be wondering why we were looking retarded. Hahaha
I believe all of us went goo-goo-ga-ga over him is because that period was of a crazy Hong Kong drama period and almost everybody watches "Triumph In The Skies".
It is a show worth watching with a little bit of humour, love, and life of pilots and air stewardesses. (:
He sang the theme of song of that show later on and can you imagine how the audience reacted? Can't even describe how I was feeling at that moment in time..
But anyway, Derrick Hoh performance started..
Probably took a lot of concepts from Korean bands though what with their outfits and their song.
I think I am only familiar with her one song and NO that is not from a tv show/drama, surprisingly. Haha. It's called "没时间" aka "Not Enough Time" (self-translated)
Anyway, please tell me I'm not the only one who knows this song?
It's like SO GOOD. Makes me feel so nostalgic.
Sorry about my obsession over OSTs. But you're not going to regret listening to it
He was damn polite to bow to everyone before he went up the stage to receive his award. I was like WOW. Really didn't expect that..
And then he stepped onto the stage once again
If you hadn't notice, we actually got closer to the stage. Almost everyone was going crazy at that point in time and left their seats running in front to get a better view of him and to get better pictures, of course. lol
They really did save the best performances for last. After the awesome song by Julian Cheung, this group who was definitely getting everyone excited was the group "草蜢 " aka Grasshopper!
Not very sure if you guys know them because they are a pretty old group of artistes. I doubt even my generation knows? Haha. That doesn't make me old ok!
My mom said I used to dance to this particular song of theirs when I was little. Maybe you guys would find it familiar. It's cute and very catchy!
How is it how is it? Anyone can relate?
My sister and I got so excited every time we catch any one of the celebrities looking directly at the camera hahaha

Sorry if this topic has been covered. I just installed Stainless Steel 6.4 which is alot better than the original version of MTW2. However the Guild System in stainless steel seems quirky.
In the original game you needed to train merchants and merchant buildings to get a Merchant Guild and priests and churches for Theoligans guild etc.
However with Stainless Steel it seems that random guilds are offered in each city that you werent trying to build? In one city I was offered a merchants guild, but had not even constructed a grain exchange.
Is this normal? If it is, it sucks compared to the original game
