HC: I wanted to start with how you got into rap. When did you get into rapping and producing, and how did that all begin?
I've been producing since I was about 8 years old. I would go down to my dad's office down in the basement of my house and use a program called the Magix Music Maker and it was old as hell. I would take the loops that were already made on the program and put them together. I basically DJ Khaled-ed the whole thing and called it a beat. Then I would perform them in talent shows in like fourth grade, rapping over the beats I put together.
HC: So you've been at it for years now. Were you always known as "Space Dolphin"? Growing up and rapping so early in your life, how has the progression of your stage names changed over time?
I went through a series of horrible names in my youth. When I started rapping around 10 years old, I called myself "10-Cent" which wasn't long lived. My initials are D.J., so I went with D-Jizzy or D-Jizzle, something like that back then too. But I had no idea what the word "Jizz" was until that Lonely Island, "Jizz In My Pants" shit came out and I literally heard that and immediately knew my name had to be changed. So I switched it up and became Daze and thought that was cool and then decided to add my name- Damon Daze, because it rolls off the tongue better. So I became Damon Daze and then after that I started smoking weed heavily and went in a whole different direction with my music.
HC: How would you describe the influence of weed on your music?
I would say it influenced my music in that I wanted to make songs that were more relaxing, chill and clear-minded. I want people to listen to my music and smoke weed while listening to it. I had a tape I never released called "Ocarina of Kush" so it was in between that and when I dropped "Splash Pt.1" when I would go in on slowed down samples from Zelda and other sounds like that, that had that fun and slow rhythm to it. During that time, I rapped a bar back when I was Damon Daze, where I used "Space polo dolphin" and my homie was like, that's it.
HC: And the rest is history.
Yup, I literally took it from a bar I had written. Space Dolphin was that direction I was trying to go into.
HC: From what I gather the brand and style of Space Dolphin is very colorful and vibrant. Why did you want develop yourself in that way?
I love the colorful pink in general; I don't know what it is about it. I wanted to go for something that was playful and not too serious. Whenever I'm in a room, I want to make people laugh and have a good time. To me, pink is that.
HC: When's the tape dropping?
It's looking like a summer drop. I was trying to have it drop April 1st but we didn't do that.
HC: Just take your time with it because if you don't you might regret it. I also feel like momentum is key, you want to be timely but you don't want to take too long of a time.
Timing is literally everything. People that think timing isn't a thing are only elite artists. They don't have to worry about that. To drop stuff randomly you have to be a Drake or a Beyoncé. It clearly shows when they drop commercial albums randomly; they still get millions of streams… That's how it goes, but you can't do that when you're up and coming or on soundcloud. You have to be calculated.
HC: For people with similar buzz to you, how big of a role do you think marketing and self-promotion plays?
An extremely huge role because it really is the only way to expand your brand...
"...getting your name out there by word of mouth or having local buzz is cool but marketability or your ability to be marketed is the main factor you have to get down if you're serious about the industry."
If you want to stay underground or local you don't necessarily need any of that, you know how to market your own shit and you have your own crowd. Now having more knowledge about this industry from my manager and working with people from it… I know it's a definitely process. You have to get people to want to hear your shit and you have to promote at the right time. You can't be dropping shit when SXSW is going on. You can't be dropping shit during Christmas. It really is about timing, because once you see other artists actually plan shit out, and it's executed perfectly, and it turns out that the timing was right, you have to take that route.
HC: I totally agree with that. It really is important because you want whatever you're sharing to be as successful as it can be without any external factors getting in the way. To shift the conversation a bit, do you have any thoughts on the newer generation of rappers coming out of here?
The new generation and the new rap that's coming out of here is changing. Because of the Internet, you have people here sounding like they're from Texas, New York, Atlanta. They're mixing it all up. As far as how the scene is here like when you go to the shows, there's no support! I think that the problem with the whole Seattle rap scene is that it never took off here like grunge once did. We're just not a rap hub. We're not known for that. It's different in cities that have been about rap music. People represent their local music… like in the Bay Area you have Mistah F.A.B. and E40. All of them were outside slanging CD's, hustling for years. It's been the deal there but over here, rap was never it like that. Especially when it comes to these rap shows, people out here just don't show as much love. I think we'll mold a nice hip-hop crowd soon but right now it's still in the process.
HC: Who would you say are your biggest musical influences?
From Day 1, 50 Cent after "Get Rich or Die Trying". I love the production, the style of the beats, it was all very cool to me and when Master came out with Candy Shop, I thought 50 Cent was definitely running shit. And Timbaland is a huge influence on my production. When I hear Timbaland's shit in general, I freak out because he really is a mastermind at placing instruments in places that no other producers do. And then Lil Wayne and Drake. From 6th grade up, I was listening to Lil Wayne all the time because the bars were pure fire. And then Drake came out with songs that were more melodic and also had bars. I couldn't stop listening to it. Those are my influences, when I listen to the music they make, watch the videos they make and see the moves they're making, it's inspirational.
HC: I know you just talked about your influences but as an artist do you also find yourself trying to minimize the amount of rap you hear to stay away from replicating or sounding too similar to someone else?
Yeah, that's the problem with a market that's so saturated with sounds and styles that are influenced by each other. You got a lot of people these days that sound like someone else with their own twist on it. People excuse it to an extent but for me when you hear my songs I get hints of some of my influences for sure. However, people do tell me my shit sounds different. I think the way I rap, use ad-libs and approach beats in general, is different from a lot people.
HC: What can we look forward to from Space Dolphin in the near future?
Yoshi's Island, the mixtape. More hits. I aspire to make music and melodies that stay in people's heads. I want people to want more from me. I want to provide visuals that have people going back saying, "Did you see the music video though?" But I got a long road ahead.
HC: You're getting there, man. Thanks for talking to us.

"The declaration that a saint is a Doctor of the Universal Church implies the recognition of a charism of wisdom bestowed by the Holy Spirit for the good of the Church and evidenced by the beneficial influence of his or her teaching among the People of God."
Pope Benedict XVI, 2012
Latest Episodes
Show Information
Relying on experts in Church history, theology, and spirituality, EWTN's The Doctors of the Church offers the first ever series dedicated to the remarkable lives, writings, and holiness of the 36 men and women declared Doctors over the centuries.
The Doctors of the Church are men and women who are revered by the Church for the special value of their writings and preaching and the sanctity of their lives. A Doctor is named by a special decree of the Pope or an Ecumenical Council. They each made important and lasting contributions to the faith and are to be recognized for their great merits. Initially, the Doctors were considered the Church Fathers Augustine, Ambrose, Jerome, and Gregory I the Great, but the Church added others to the list over the centuries.
Upcoming Episodes
Wednesday, June 20 at 10 PM ET

Metal Roof Replacements
Posted December 6, 2019
Metal roofs are the most common roofing type found throughout the country. They make use of an effective and efficiently interlocking metal roof system that provides each home with various benefits. For example, metal roofs are greater at resisting wind, and compared to some other roof options on the market and they need little to no maintenance. Nonetheless, like all building materials, metal roofs will take damage from strong winds, consistent rains and ice throughout the colder months. Additionally, if they are not installed effectively, they will also be more prone to damage over time. At Vincent Roofing, we provide a range of low-cost metal roof replacements when they are damaged or in need of maintenance. We advise that replacing your roof after significant damage is crucial to prevent any further damage to other parts of your property.
Faults in Your Roof
Over time, your roof faces many external damages from the weather, which causes it to deteriorate. There are many ways in which your roof can take damage which may require parts of the roof to be repaired and in some circumstances the whole roof itself. Here are some of the reasons that your metal roof may need to be replaced.
Holes in Your Roof
Although a hole in a metal roof is extremely rare it can occur in extreme situations. This is usually a result of a strong storm, or adverse weather conditions over a long period of time or corrosion. As your metal roof deteriorates, holes can potentially begin to appear due to lose screws and nails. In some situations, this can be treated by finding the hole itself and sealing it. However, in other situations, you may need to have your roof replaced entirely.
Poor Installation
In some circumstances, a poor installation of your metal roofing can result in a range of different problems. It will result in the quality of your roof deteriorating at a significantly faster rate, as well as loose metal sheets and potentially leaks over time. In such a circumstance, your roof may need to be replaced and installed with a higher quality one.
Roof Replacements
At Vincent Roofing, we offer a range of metal roof replacement services designed around your personal preferences and timescale. After an initial consultation, our team will work efficiently to design a metal roof that meets the precise needs of your room. From our experience, we understand that every roof is unique in its own way and consequently we treat every project on an individual basis. Once we have created a design for your roof and it has been approved, our team will begin with the metal roof replacement. They will work tirelessly to ensure that your roof is installed on time and within the budget that we have provided. Once our work is done, you will be left with a beautiful new metal roof, that not only makes your home look great, but provides you with maximum protection from the weather.

The Prime Minister has managed to survive the myriad obstacles 2018 has thrown at her but Ladbrokes has given Mrs May a 2/5 chance of getting replaced next year and Coral has this at 1/2. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "The latest betting suggests we're in for a hectic year on the political front, with a change in Downing Street looking more likely than ever."Although Mrs May won the Conservative Party attempt to oust her as Prime Minister on December 12, it is likely to be a temporary win. Chairman of the conservative think thank, the Bow Group, Ben Harris-Quinney said: "2019 is the year Theresa May will run out of road, I can't envisage a situation where it doesn't end messily.
"May doesn't have grassroots support in the Conservative Party, she is likely to see the collapse in her government."
Coral's Harry Aitkenhead said 2019 will be another chaotic year in UK politics.
Mr Aitkenhead said: "We make it 5-4 for another Brexit referendum and 6-4 for a General Election and both are definite possibilities now, whereas back twelve months ago they were both seen as unlikely.
"Theresa May is odds on to be replaced as the Conservative leader, whilst it is 2-1 for Jeremy Corbyn to be ousted as Labour leader with the head of the opposition definitely safer than his counterpart this Christmas."
Mr Harris-Quinney said the Tory Party is weak and divided so the Labour Party could monopolise on this and the chances of another General Election are "probable but not certain".
He said: "I think 2019 will either be a great year or a terrible year, it depends whether we get a deal on Brexit, it is a fork in the road year.
"I think if the result of the referendum is ignored, it would disrupt the country and it would take a long time to recover.
"If we get a no-deal or a Canada-plus style deal, we will be able to forge fantastic trade deals with the US."
Mr Harris-Quinnney believes a no-deal Brexit is the most likely outcome and Mrs May's only hope for a deal is to rely on support from the Lib Dems, Labour and the SNP.
He described the Conservative Party as "dilapidated" which must attract younger members like the Labour Party has done.
He said: "The average age of active members in the Conservative Party is astonishingly in the early seventies. There should be urgent reform."
The Bow Group chairman wants to see the former Brexit Secretary David Davis replace Mrs May to push the Brexit agenda and democratic reforms as he is adamant there should be a Brexit government.
Ladbrokes has placed the chance of the UK leaving the EU with a no Brexit deal before April 1 2019 is 4/6.
He also said that even if Mrs May gets her deal through Parliament, she will face pressure to resign as many of the Conservative Party members are opposed to her deal.
Ladbrokes have given Boris Johnson, Sajid Javid and Dominic Raab the top odds to replace Mrs May as next Prime Minister.
Daniel Pryor from the Adam Smith Institute think tank said the Tories are in a "fragile" position.
He said: "The Tories are in a fragile position with widespread hostility to the PM's Withdrawal Agreement."

In ecommerce, design is everything. It is your store. It's your image. It's your salesperson, you trust builder, your point of sale.
With today's tough ecommerce competition, having a beautiful, functional website is make or break. You want to make a dramatic impression, but at the same time create a simple, seamless user experience.
Below are 5 examples of ecommerce websites, designed by Marketing 360® for 2017. Each meets the necessary criteria – and then some.
Good To Glow: https://www.goodtoglow.com/
Good to Glow has a visually appealing product line that facilitates a beautiful website. Their images – by the nature of their product – go beyond eye-catching.
But a simple underlying navigation to shopping categories, custom work, and product care also make it easy for shoppers to start their buying journey. Scroll down the home page and you find image based navigation for popular product categories, featured individual products, and new designs.
Trust is built by a phone contact in the header and footer, along with trust badges. Social media is a great marketing strategy for them, so icons appear in the header and footer. Payment trust badges in the footer also create trust.
Their product page is strong on images and light on confusion. Thumbnail images display options. Product description tie into emotional appeals while keeping necessary purchase and product information front and center.
Tunes Music and Audio: https://tunesmusic.ca/
Tunes Music and Audio does what many ecommerce sites choose to do effectively. They let their products do most the talking.
It would be possible to go wild with a website that mainly deals with guitars. Some might choose to turn it into a Twisted Sister retro design.
But Tunes Music and Audio keeps it simple and direct. Their product categories are distinct and the navigation to find them is so simple a 5-year-old could find the guitar they want.
This site meets the essence of ecommerce. Trust and simplicity.
Energy By Science – https://www.energybyscience.com/
Energy By Science is a case study in elegant usability. It's eye-catching and inviting, but at the same time direct and very user-friendly.
The combination of value message, product-offerings, and call-to-action as you scroll down the homepage leave no doubt of what you should do or why you should do it.
The About Us further dials in the company's mission, approach to product development, and primary target audience.
Wits + Beaux – http://witsandbeaux.com/
wits + beaux combines the flair of their products with a clarity that makes shopping on their eCommerce website a breeze.
As you scroll the homepage, you're drawn into their unique designs and the crisp description that accompany the product categories. The site is informative and alluring, all while keeping navigation and direction crystal clear.
Your Essential Soaps – https://www.youressentialsoaps.com/
Your Essential Soaps is one of those sites that gives professional polish to what is, in fact, a smaller family-owned business.
Often, small businesses like Y.E.S. use generic templates that give the feel that the business is operated out of a garage. This ecommerce website design, on the other hand, lends the feel of a large, established brand.
The professional images lend a sense of trust, while the personalized voice of the content reminds you this is a small-batch, artisan product line.
Like the other sites, the navigation and calls to action are simple and unambiguous. A shopper couldn't get confused on this website if they tried.
Craft-n-Go: http://craftngo.com/
Craft-n-Go is an ecommerce template design that shows how quickly you can communicate what you offer and what's its value is with images.
Easy navigation to the different products clarifies options, and lightbox image pop-ups provide more detailed images of each product.
A craft case is not a complicated product, and this website keeps it simple with effective images and descriptions.
In eCommerce, you must to two things. Engender trust and avoid confusion. Each of these sites excels at those goals.

Melting gold at room temperature – See how in our new paper in Physical Review Materials
Our latest paper, entitled "Electric-field-controlled reversible order-disorder switching of a metal tip surface" has been published in Physical Review Materials.
In this work led by Ludvig de Knoop and Mikael Juhani Kuisma, the deformation at the very tip of a gold nanocone was studied on the atomic level using TEM (transmission electron microscopy). When a large electric field is applied, the topmost atomic layers of the cone make a reversible switch from a crystalline to a disordered state. When the electric field exceed a threshold of about 25V/nm, gold atoms can be evaporated from the tip at room temperature. These observations were also studied using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, which were in excellent agreement with the measured data.
The samples for these experiments were fabricated during one of my last work days at Chalmers, using our transfer protocol to decorate a gold wire with a pattern of nanocones for use in the TEM experiments.
Presentation at Advanced Photonics Congress in Zurich
On July 5th, I will be presenting some recent results at the Advanced Photonics Congress in Zurich about our Niobium Oxide based waveguide platform for visible light applications. This platform we are developing at imec has the advantage that the refractive index of Niobium Oxide is significantly larger than that one of Silicon Nitride, the most common waveguide platform in this wavelength range. Increasing the refractive index of a waveguide allows to scale down the component sizes significantly, allowing to increase the density of photonic integrated circuits.
More details can be found in our abstract or at the conference.
New paper published in IEEE Photonics Technology Letters
Our latest paper entitled Grating Coupler Design for Reduced Back-Reflections just got published in IEEE Photonics Technology Letters.
This work was led by my colleague Jeong Hwan Song and it illustrates how efficient grating couplers with low back reflections can be made in our silicon nitride waveguide platform. In many photonic applications, back-reflections from the grating couplers can result in undesired interferences in the components that are being tested. By designing asymmetric grating couplers, these back reflections can be suppressed by over 5 dB with almost no impact on the coupling efficiency.
New paper published in Scientific Reports
Our latest paper entitled Multiscale Conformal Pattern Transfer just got published in Scientific Reports.
In this work we show a very versatile platform for decorating 3D objects with nano- or microscale-structures, by means of a transfer lithography protocol. The structures to be transferred are first defined by means of a conventional lithography method of choice on top of 10 nm thick amorphous carbon film on top of a sacrificial layer. After submerging the parent substrate in a selective etch solution in order to dissolve the sacrificial layer, the pattern is transferred to the air/water-interface by means of the parent substrate. Subsequently the 3D host substrate is used to pick up the structures to be transferred, and if required the carbon film is etched to finalise the transfer. We illustrate this technique for a variety of nano- and micro-structures that can be applied in many different fields of research.
This work was conducted during my Post-doctoral studies at Chalmers University and was the result of a close collaboration between different research groups there.
The Chalmers University logo with a scale of 100 micrometer is transferred onto a commercial LED and projected it with 500 times magnification onto a wall using a microscope objective. The roughness of the LED surface is clearly visible in the microscope pictures and the projection.
New paper from the PNV project published in Nanoscale
Our latest paper entitled Highly conformal fabrication of nanopatterns on non-planar surfaces was published recently in Nanoscale. In this work lead by my former colleague Inès Massiot and in close collaboration with my current employer imec, we show the potential for applying colloidal lithography on highly non-planar substrates. We show how nanopatterning silicon substrates with micron-scale roughness results in an increase of the efficiency for photovoltaic cells with as much as 50%.
PhotoNVoltaics project featured in imec magazine
The PhotoNVoltaics project, part of the EU FP7-framework has ended now. The highlights of the project are discussed in the latest version of the IMEC magazine.
On a personal note, this was a very interesting project for me, as it allowed me to stay in touch with my former colleagues at imec during my 3 year stay at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Thanks to everyone that made this such an enjoyable experience!
New paper published in Nanoscale
Our latest paper entitled Dimer-on-mirror SERS substrates with attogram sensitivity fabricated by colloidal lithography was published today in Nanoscale. In this work lead by Aron Hakonen we studied the performance of colloidal lithography based substrates for ultra sensitive SERS spectroscopy, reaching attogram concentrations. Next to conventional measurements in the lab, the substrates also proved to perform superb for in-field experiments using a handheld device.
New paper published in Nano Letters
Our latest paper just got accepted in Nano Letters and is entitled "Active magnetoplasmonic ruler". This work was lead by Irina Zubritskaya and performed in collaboration with our partners in CIC NanoGUNE in Donostia-San Sebastian and the University of Gothenburg.
In this work, we show how magnetoplasmonic dimers can be exploited as very sensitive plasmonic rulers, which will self-align towards the most optimal configuration due to the application of an external magnetic field. This opens up opportunities for future applications in bio-sensing and localized drug delivery among many others.
Hejdå Sverige, vi ses igen!
For those of you that are not Swedish, the title says: Goodbye Sweden, we'll see each other again. After nearly 3 years living in Gothenburg, the time has nearly come to move on. In a bit less than 1 month, I'll exchange Gothenburg for Leuven (Belgium). I will start working at imec again, now as "Photonics design engineer". In that sense, I'll be coming home again, even though the project will be totally different from my Ph. D. work in imec, or my post-doc work in Sweden. I'll start working in the team of Xavier Rottenberg, in close collaboration with my former supervisor Pol Van Dorpe. The project is part of imec's life science program, which is briefly outlined in the movie below.
The main idea is to use nanotechnology in order to come to new miniaturised lab-on-chip devices, which in future will lead to a dramatic reduction in health care spendings, while at the same time obtaining test results much faster than with current technologies. Needless to say that I like this challenge a lot, and look forward to coming home again in Leuven.
In fact, I must admit that the last 3 years have really flown by, which means that I truly enjoyed the time in Gothenburg. Therefore, I want to take the time to say thank you to quite some people that have been an important part of my life in the last few years.
Let's start from the start, the reason why I moved to Sweden, being my job at Chalmers. Thanks a lot to my boss Sascha Dmitriev for offering me the opportunity to be part of his research team within the division of BioNanoPhotonics of Mikael Käll. I want to thank everybody in the department for the fun times we've had, both on the job and at social side activities. Apart from that, I also want to take the time to say thank you to some of our collaborators within Chalmers, most importantly the work done together with Eva Olsson. At the same time, I want to thank our hardcore magnetism friends from the Åkerman lab, namely Johan Åkerman and Randy Dumas, who were always there to help us out when our magnetism knowledge was to limited.
I was also fortunate enough to be involved in quite a few international collaborations, and I would like to thanks everybody involved. First of all, I want to thank everybody in the PhotoNVoltaics project, you are with too many to address every one of you individually. Also, I want to thank our friends Paolo Vavassori and Nicolò Maccaferri from NanoGUNE in San Sebastian, for the very fruitful collaboration. The same goes for my predecessor at Chalmers, Valentina Bonnani and her colleague Francesco Pineider in the university of Firenze. Also, I would like to thank many more collaborators from all around the world: Ilya Razdolski (Radboud University Nijmegen), Maxim Shcherbakov (Moscow State University, Russia), Niels Verellen (Imec, Belgium), Tavakol Pakizeh (K. N. Toosi University, Tehran, Iran), Daniel Higley (Stanford University, USA), Anke Sanz-Valesco (Chalmers, Sweden), Casey Miller (University of South Florida), and probably a few more that I forget at this time…
Obviously, there was also plenty of time to relax, and that often involved a few pints in the two Dubliner pubs at Kungsportsplatsen and Järntorget, where I made many, many, many friends. I want to thank everybody at Dubs for always making me feel welcome, you were my second home during the last 3 years. Now that we're on the subject of Dubs, this immediately brings me to my freelance stagehand job at The Gothenburg Crew, with whom I enjoyed a lot of nice working nights over the past few years. Thanks in particular to Kevin for getting me into the crew, and arranging me a spot on the shows that I really didn't want to miss (Metallica, Roger Waters, Volbeat, In Flames to just name a few). Also born – or should I say reborn? – at Dubs is our dart team The Assassins, with whom I spent so many lovely evenings. So thanks to our "manager" Scouse Steve, Gary – Shrek – McKiernan, Gerry – Gandalf – Lions, Gerrard – Gerry Jr. – O Callaghan, Davey G (THE best barman in town), Aidan and Andy. Hope to see the lot of you in Lommel and Edinburgh for some more Euro-League games, and I'll promise I'll bring the Belgian team over to Gothenburg next summer 😉
Oh, and before I forget: I couldn't leave Sweden without throwing a party, so mark your calendar for the 9th of May if you want to join for a few beers and some good craic. (Check Facebook or your mail for more details ;-))

WILLIAMSPORT - The man who killed himself after his girlfriend was wounded in the leg had been smoking PCP, commonly known as angel dust.
City police Tuesday made the revelation when they released details of the shooting that occurred about 10 a.m. Monday in an apartment house in the 600 block of Grier Street.
The police version is that John Hemingway Jr., 38, shot Markita Sanders in the lower left leg and then himself in the head in the kitchen of their first-floor apartment.
Other sources say Sanders was shot when she attempted to swat the gun from Hemingway, who was threatening suicide. Sanders fled the building carrying an infant child, police said.
A tenant in an upstairs apartment told police she came downstairs when she heard Sanders and Hemingway arguing. Hemingway went to the basement and retrieved a revolver, she told investigators.
When attempts to contact Hemmingway failed, Williamsport's special response team entered the building and found him dead, Capt. Jody Miller said.

Jean Mensa lands in another 'trouble'
The Member of Parliament for the Odododiodoo constituency has chastised the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa for not visiting every media house during their familiarisation tour.
The EC boss and her two deputies; Dr. Eric Bossman Asare and Director of Electoral Services, Samuel Tettey toured some media houses including; Despite Media, Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), the Multimedia Group of Companies, Daily Guide Network (DGN) and Citi FM.
However, Nii Lante Vanderpuye speaking to the issue on Peace FM's morning show 'kokrokoo' programme says the Commissioners should have visited all the media houses in Accra to drum home the point that they are 'not selective'.
"Their actions are becoming too loud; too profound . . . you either avoid all or visit all," he indicated.

2 Corinthians | A LISTEN UP! Bible Study (Robinson and de Jong)
What's a LISTEN UP! Bible Study, and why is it unique?
God's word is alive. God will always have something new to say to us. That's why the purpose of the LISTEN UP! Bible Study series is not simply learning information about the Bible. It is hearing God speak. There is a difference. In these Bible studies, you will be encouraged to listen: listen to the Bible, listen to your own questions and responses, and listen to the honest sharing among participants in your study group. Trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit, we believe that in that mix of biblical text, personal engagement, and honest speaking and listening, God's word may be heard, speaking words of challenge and words of comfort.
2 Corinthians LISTEN UP! Bible Study
In 2 Corinthians, Paul responds to criticism of his preaching and teaching, as well as his leadership. At least some in Corinth were more impressed by other preachers and teachers who pointed early and often to their own incredible spiritual experiences. Paul spoke of himself in less glowing terms. He recounted not his achievements, but his struggles and even his failures. Why? Because he believed that talking about one's glowing resume turned faith into an instrument of personal success, shifting the focus from God to ourselves.
A six-lesson study, 2 Corinthians is a little choppy, perhaps because it is in all likelihood the compilation of a couple of letters and not just one. Still, it is possible to outline its structure and contents briefly as follows:
- Chapters 1 - 2:13: Might be thought of as "Unfinished Business," as Paul explains why he hasn't visited Corinth as promised and what this means.
- Chapters 2:14 and Chapter 7: Paul's ministry among the Corinthians - how he understands his role, the gospel and leadership.
- Chapters 8 - 9: The Collection for the Church in Jerusalem (some things here that are particularly useful for stewardship season!)
- Chapters 10 - 13: Paul takes on the "super-apostles," boasting, paradoxically, of his own weaknesses.
Leader's Guide included in this workbook.
Anthony B. Robinson is a Seattle-based speaker, teacher, writer and consultant and an ordained United Church of Christ minister.
Patricia de Jong is Senior Minister at First Congregational United Church of Christ in Berkeley, California.

Well I can't believe I can actually say I ruddy well enjoyed that run! Nice enough weather not too sunny not quite raining and not too hot not too cold 😄
Got up and dressed into my running gear before I had my morning coffee, I was not letting myself sneak out of it lol! I got the twins ready and headed off. The first 1.30 min jog was a little hard but I settled into a lovely pace. The rest of the jogs were about the same and a minute and a half was about the right time, starting to struggle coming the last 20 secs of each jog but enough to push through to not kill me! I put some cheesy music on my phone and focused on singing along rather than counting down the time, that helped loads!
Once the last jog was completed I was elated and tbh after the next two min walk I could have actually jogged again ( but relieved I was finished also 😂) so I'm pleased to bits! I achieved a personal best distance too of 2.77km so that also shows how far I've come from week 1! Happy happy happy 😄
Photo is after my run, happy face lol.

Magnetoresistance in dilute p-Si/SiGe in parallel and tilted magnetic fields
Drichko, I. L., Smirnov, I. Yu., Suslov, A. V., Mironov, O. A. and Leadley, D. R. (David R.) (2009) Magnetoresistance in dilute p-Si/SiGe in parallel and tilted magnetic fields. Annalen der Physik, Vol.18 (No.12 (Sp. Iss. SI)). pp. 939-943. doi:10.1002/andp.200910380Research output not available from this repository, contact author.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/andp.200910380
We report the results of an experimental study of the magnetoresistance rho(xx) and rho(xy) in two samples of p-Si/SiGe with low carrier concentrations p = 8.2 x 10(10) cm(-2) and p = 2 x 10(11) cm(-2). The research was performed in the temperature range of 0.3-2 K and in the magnetic fields of up to 18 T, parallel or tilted with respect to the two-dimensional (2D) channel plane. The large in-plane magnetoresistance can be explained by the influence of the in-plane magnetic field on the orbital motion of the charge carriers in the quasi-2D system. The measurements of rho(xx) and rho(xy) in the tilted magnetic field showed that the anomaly in rho(xx), observed at filling factor nu = 3/2 is practically nonexistent in the conductivity alpha(xx). The anomaly in alpha(xx) at nu = 2 might be explained by overlapping of the levels with different spins 0 up arrow and 1 down arrow when the tilt angle of the applied magnetic field is changed. The dependence of g-factor g*(Theta)/g*(0 degrees) on the tilt angle Theta was determined. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

I was in Tallinn, Estonia, a couple of years ago and I sat in the main square having lunch with my friend Edward. I had mentored Edward for part of his career in financial services. We spoke about the previous two years with fondness and counted our blessings. We gave thanks and toasted life. Two years earlier Edward had come to me because he had been declined (refused/rejected) for life insurance and critical illness cover. This upset him. He was only 41, but he was overweight and had high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol.
Over the previous few years Edward had witnessed my eating, health, and fitness Standards over the years, so he asked for guidance. When I asked him how he got dressed in the morning, he looked at me askance.
'What do you mean?' he asked.
So I explained about the finger in the collar and the belt. Then I asked him what he did when he put on weight. He replied that he just purchased a bigger shirt or suit. We laughed – a lot – but right there and then we discussed and agreed upon some new daily health and fitness Standards he could use with immediate effect. These included the right type of eating and exercising.
'Your body will give you support based upon the Standards that you set and keep!'
Edward set down the new Standards and committed to them by the day and each day, one day at a time. After a moment of consideration, he shared something with me that brought a lump to my throat. He said that his new Standards were based on him living a life that would keep him 'above ground,' and he would maintain his new health and fitness Standards in order to see his children grow up and marry, and walk his daughter Michelle down the aisle. In the next year Edward got in shape. We worked in the same building, so I was able to see that transformation. At times I would walk by his office and see him eating greens, salads, nuts, and berries at his desk. Edward now looks and feels the best he has for a very long time.
Every single day you exist is compounded onto the next day, week, month, year, and decade. If your body is unfit and doesn't support you, or you become ill and die before your time as a result, it will be largely because of what you did, or didn't do, each and every day, with your health and fitness Standards. One day at a time. That's how we get life, and that's how we should live it. Today I could eat a huge pile of fries and drink beer while lying flat on my couch, and I won't die as a result of it. But if I run that regime, living at that Standard or something similar, every single day, then I'm likely to lose my health, and possibly my life, sooner than I'd like.

Many people will wait until they are so overweight that they can't get into their clothes! How does your life pan out if that's your personal health and fitness Standard? Life isn't a goal. You can wait until your clothes don't fit or you can agree that your collar and waist size is a Standard that shall not be breached. The old way said get overweight and then set a goal to lose it. Baloney! State your Standards, (agree on a baseline, level, quality or rule) for you, and do the things just today to support and keep that level. Then commit to sticking to those Standards just one day at a time ONLY. I.e. if you wake up in the morning, commit only for that day. It's about Daily Standards. Forget making this a goal. Goals don't work. It's about Daily Standards, nothing else. Use the PERFECT resource on this website to support you to review and set new Standards.

Positive Fiscal Outlook for California, According To Credit Ratings Agency
Friday, July 27, 2018
California's growing economy and billions in budget reserves has earned the state a better outlook from one of the key credit ratings agencies.
This sets up the future possibility for California to receive lower interest rates on its debt.
The ratings agency Moody's Investors Service revised its outlook about the state's ability to pay back taxpayer-funded bonds from stable to positive, suggesting it could raise the state's credit rating in a year or two.
"Economically, we're looking at job growth, GDP growth that's outpacing many parts of the U.S.," said Matt Butler, the agency's lead analyst for California. "Financially we're looking at very strong revenue growth. And all of that is leading to an increased capacity on the state's part to bolster its reserve position."
Butler says lawmakers' use of some of that revenue to fill state reserve funds, in preparation for another recession, helped the state's revised outlook.
Still, Butler says California's "Double A 3" rating is ahead of only three other states.
The report from Moody's says California could receive a credit downgrade in the event of an economic downturn, reductions in health care spending by the Trump administration or significant new debt.
The November ballot will ask voters whether they would like to approve more than $14 billion in new bonds for water projects, children's hospitals and affordable housing.
If the agency does revise the state's rating upward in a year or two, California will enjoy its best financial rating since 2001.
California has $87 billion in taxpayer funded debt, according to Moody's.
The other two major credit ratings agencies, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, have upgraded California's general obligation bond rating in the past two years.

It's strange to have gone from years of uncertainty and vaporware to a steady annual supply of major new operating system releases from Apple. But some important questions quickly follow. Do I really want to pay $129 every year for the next version of Mac OS X? Worse, do I really want to deal with the inevitable upgrade hassles and 10.x.0 release bugs every single year? Just as the 10.2.x code base was finally settling down (the botched 10.2.8 release notwithstanding), the Mac community is asked to start all over again with 10.3.0.

Jaguars vs. Bills: It's Another Sunday
I will never be convinced that an NFL game is a must-win – unless, of course, a team needs to win that game to get into the playoffs. A win and you're in scenario. Other than that, "must-win" is overused.
The Jacksonville Jaguars travel to play the Buffalo Bills this Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Sitting at 2-2, this is the third straight season the Jaguars have held this same record. They say the third time's a charm. For Jacksonville and its fans, a trouncing should be in place against a weak 0-4 squad.
Coming off a thrilling, last-second victory over divisional rival Indianapolis, the Jags are riding high. It truly was, as head coach Jack Del Rio put it, a jolt our city felt because of Josh Scobee's 59-yard boot.
On Wednesday, quarterback David Garrard, on the impact of the win over the Colts, added, "It was huge, just for all of our confidence. The more we continue to get confidence in one another the better this team can play. That's no different for me. I'm human and anytime you can get a good win like that, it can cure a lot of things. For the most part, it has."
In my opinion, this Bills' game could pose somewhat of a trap. After having your head in the clouds, returning back to ground level is tough. When questioned by the media if Sunday's game could be a trap, star running back Maurice Jones-Drew stated, "I don't think so. We're going there; it's always tough to play in Buffalo."
However, Buffalo has been through more change than some NFL rosters will see in an entire season. Within the last 10 days, the Bills released former starting quarterback Trent Edwards, who was claimed off waivers by Jacksonville, and traded one of the team's running backs, Marshawn Lynch, to the Seattle Seahawks for two future draft picks.
In addition to a little roster shakeup, the Bills are ranked last in the NFL in overall offense – 207 yards per game – and in the passing game. Winless Buffalo, in its first season under head coach Chan Gailey, has Harvard's own Ryan Fitzpatrick as a starting quarterback.
In starting the last two games, the 27-year-old Fitzpatrick has completed 58.2 percent of his passes, thrown for 375 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Last year, in an 18-15 loss to the Jaguars, Fitzpatrick, who has started 25 career games, had 297 yards through the air coupled with two touchdowns and two picks.
The Bills and Jaguars have met the last four seasons. They are all square at two games apiece. During those contests, Jacksonville outscored Buffalo, 94-76. This is not a game that is being served to the Jaguars on a silver platter. In fact, NFL games are never gimmes.
Del Rio, confirming that the Jaguars have the Colts game in their rearview mirror, said, "To me, the professionalism in our building, much like you'll find up there [Buffalo] I'm sure, the coaches and players are preparing to their very best and really that's what it's all about and that's where we are and that's where we need to be."
For Jacksonville to land a "W" this Sunday, they need for Garrard to continue his consistency and to establish the run early on the Bills' 32nd-ranked rush defense. Since Edwards was brought in, the team has been asking him a lot of questions about Buffalo's offensive and defensive schemes. But, most importantly, Edwards has been assisting Garrard in giving him background information on the Bills. "Whatever Dave needs out of me, I'm going to be there for him."
With regards to Buffalo's recent struggles stopping the run, Jones-Drew assessed, "They stop our run well. That's what they've done the last couple of years." He continued, "I don't really worry about what the stats mean. The stats don't mean anything. You've got to go out there and prove it every Sunday."
For the Jaguars, proving themselves this Sunday might not be any easier than the last.

The first step (take notes because this is the most important part) is to make the outstanding decision to wear jeans on a day that tops 105 degrees outside.
Secondly, you'll want to walk around outside for a while. Preferably to and from your car in the Wal-Mart and mall parking lots. This will give you plenty of inspiration for the upcoming steps.
Next you must go inside your house where your new rolling cutter is conveniently sitting next to your neatly folded jeans. (This is when the light bulb goes on in your head.)
That neatly folded pair of jeans that you've had since high school will probably have holes in the knees that are so big, you almost won't even need to use scissors to cut through them.
Line up the pant legs of your jeans and cut them at the desired length. Then put your new pair of shorts on and roll them up a couple of times.
You should end up with something like this and immediately feel super proud of yourself.
The last step is the best one. Go to your freezer and grab a popsicle while you congratulate yourself on being so awesome. Preferably grape.
I have to admit, I've been planning this for a while. I couldn't stand to cut up a pair of jeans though that I still wear, but once I remembered that I had these in the back of my closet at home, I had my mom bring them to me during our visit last week. Perfect!
I wish I had taken a picture of what they looked like before I cut them but I was in such a distressed state of mind from the heat that I literally completed this in 30 seconds. I kid you not, the holes in the knees were big enough that I could fit my entire leg up to my thigh through them. They were pretty trashy looking. I think I paid $14.00 for them when I was a sophomore. SEVEN years ago. Holy cow I'm old.
I am nowhere near the 90 pounds I weighed in high school so it makes me wonder a little bit what these jeans looked like on me back then if they still fit now. Thank goodness I hid from the camera all those years!

If you're a foodie in Montreal you're familiar with the many French bistros all across our city. The Divas are rarely recommended a place that they have never even heard of but this city is full hidden gems and surprises. When the geniuses behind Montreall.com planned a dinner with Sweet Pea, their editor-in-chief, Diva#1 was happy to be invited along! The Divas had never heard of Le Valois, a French bistro in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve area of the city, but after tasting their diverse menu, heavy on French classics, but with a modern flair, we were eager to show our love for this bistro!
Rich dark wood paneling, stained glass art déco décor, and a large terrace are all part of the Le Valois charm. We were greeted by our helpful host and described the menu in detail. We even tried a few dishes that are going to appear on their summer menu but aren't yet available.
We started with two of their tartare dishes which you can order as appetizers, or as main dishes with fries or salad. We enjoyed them as appetizers!
The beef tartare was made in a classic French style, was served with chips but the real treat was the mushroom mayonnaise that it came with. It was delicious and it added a whole new creamy dimension to traditional French beef tartare.
The salmon tartare was made with fresh herbs and it was very refreshing. Basil infused olive oil was pooled next to the tartare for dipping. The tartare itself was topped with cucumbers, razor thin radish slivers and greens. But if you are choosing a raw salmon dish, we would opt for Le Valois' salmon gravlax which will be showing up on their summer menu. A generous amount of salmon gravlax with a dill infused crème fraîche made for a delicious appetizer.
The endive salad was impressive and the plating was attractive. Shredded endives with a generous amount of Bleu d'Elizabeth cheese, apples, walnuts and creamy vinaigrette made for a complex salad. The menu at Le Valois is very intriguing and we would have probably never ordered this dish on our own but we are certainly glad that it was recommended.
Our favourite appetizer of the night was the cassolette with snails and oyster mushrooms. This dish is also available without the snails as a vegetarian option. The escargots and oyster mushrooms were baked in a cheesy concoction with chives. Served alongside grilled baguette with a touch of bruschetta, this dish was absolutely mouth-watering. The escargots and the oyster mushrooms had a similar texture, and the creamy cheese sauce that it was baked in was perfection for cheese lovers. It was prepared au gratin but still creamy!
Once again we were not drawn to this particular dish because shrimp tempura sounds rather boring! The batter is usually too thick and overpowers the taste of the shrimp. Le Valois did not have this problem as the batter was very light and the shrimps were bigger than expected. Three to an order, it was a nice dish if someone does not want an overcomplicated appetizer, but more of an amuse bouche. The dish came with a lobster mayonnaise that made for a delicious dipping sauce.
A delicious vegetarian option is the ravioli stuffed with artichokes and tomato chutney. A goat cheese emulsion was liquefied with cream and topped the ravioli, as well as crisp arugula. It was an interesting combination of flavours. The ravioli were not immersed with sauce so you really tasted the artichoke in each bite.
Sweet Pea loves her coconut milk! Scallops and shrimp sat on a citrus polenta with a coconut milk mousse and ginger. This was the first of the main dishes that we received; this was not your typical French bistro fare. Aesthetically gorgeous, once again, this was the perfect summer dish, light but with a hint of creaminess from the coconut milk. The polenta was cooked to perfection and it wasn't too dense!
The Stanstead rabbit with prosciutto was a serious dish! This multidimensional dish was complex – the rabbit was rolled with prosciutto, flavoured with rosemary and cooked to perfection. Basil and a tomato confit were lightly added to this dish as well as a delicious garlic purée that was not overpowering in the least. An au jus sauce made with the rabbit meat was lightly pooled below the rabbit, and broccoli and root vegetables were flawlessly prepared and presented with the dish. Chef Thomas Ginieis' talent was showcased with this dish.
A French bistro classic, and not for the faint of heart, is boudin noir or black pudding. The boys were apprehensive about trying this dish but Diva #1 urged them on, she knew that it would be fantastic just by looking at the texture of the boudin. Made in house, the boudin was excellent. It was served next to a squash purée with the crispiest slice of bacon adding a new textural element to the smooth boudin and creamy squash purée. An au jus sauce pooled under the boudin and a buttery poached carrot added more flavour to this rich dish.
Another main dish that is not on their current menu but will be making an appearance in the summer is their duck confit. This is one of Diva#1's favourite dishes, crispy skin but tender meat for a fabulous piece of duck. The picture doesn't do it justice! Sitting on a bed of potatoes with a little bit of frisé greens, only a side of patate dauphinois would have brought this dish to the next level. But we're gluttons like that!
We were too full for dessert but of course we had to try a few! With a long dessert menu, French desserts are often a big reason why people choose to go to French bistros. We ordered the rum baba, a cronut and the chocolate tart! The rum baba was exceptional, and it was served with whipped cream and berries. A rare sighting in restaurants is the cronut, this one was different from the norm, it was very dense and it did not have a filling. Again this was served with ice cream and a creamer of English cream was brought over to add at your discretion. The cronut was fantastic! The chocolate tart was very rich, served on top of a chocolate sauce, with dollops of cream on top. This was served with more ice cream and strawberries. These desserts could have rivaled any French bakery.
Le Valois has an exceptional terrace that seats around 100 people and faces the much quieter Simon Valois Pl, as opposed to Ontario, its busier cross street. With an intriguing brunch menu, and a separate dinner menu at 22$ after 9:30pm, Le Valois accommodates different budgets and tastes. We left bursting at the seams! From the ambiance, to the food, to the service, we were impressed and can't wait to return to try their brunch.

A United States firm, Powerhive is the first private utility firm in Kenya to be granted a licence to sell electricity to the Kenyan public. The firm has successfully carried out field tests of off-grid metering and control solutions over the course of the last two years in Kenya, in an effort to provide power to those living beyond the reach of the national grid.
With financial and technical backing from First Solar, Inc., a leading global provider of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy solutions, Powerhive pioneered the delivery of locally generated energy in Kenya's Kisii province, where over 90% percent of the population does not have access to electricity. With plans to expand its coverage to over 200,000 households in Kenya, Powerhive leveraged the pilot projects to test and refine its range of solutions, designed to enable microgrid deployments in rural regions. Through the pilot program, First Solar's advanced module technology was deployed with Powerhive's innovative metering and control platform, and its customers are currently able to pre-purchase electricity for commercial and residential use through mobile banking services.
"Powerhive's technology and data-driven approach to microgrid development and operations will enable the formation of a new asset class. It will enable us to cost-effectively reach tens of millions of people in rural villages unserved by grids while offering strong risk-weighted returns to investors," said Powerhive CEO Christopher Hornor. "We have uniquely combined the most cost efficient methods for billing, operations, customer service, and development at scale while respecting the local customs within the areas where we operate."
Powerhive has developed a series of innovations designed to enable microgrid deployments in rural regions. Its portfolio includes the Honeycomb cloud-based remote monitoring and control platform, the Asali smart meter and the Site Wizard for Analysis, Reconnaissance, and Mapping (SWARM) project development tool.
Four pilot deployments have been operational for over two years, constituting a total generation capacity of 80kW and serving four rural villages, benefitting over 1500 people, ranging from residential users to small businesses deploying a range of services that were previously unavailable such as maize milling, welding, incubating chickens, and hair salons.
