Impacting Cities & Communities thru Prayer
A Community of Prayer Champions, Praying Churches, Prayed-for Communities
I have written quite a bit here on praise in the past few years. But in fact I am convinced that I have not written nearly enough about it. Jesus began His model prayer for us with a crescendo of praise. "Hallowed be thy name." I think it is important to note that Jesus is not simply giving us a mechanical order for the words of our prayers like the helpful A.C.T.S. of Prayer, Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication. He is saying praising God is to be preeminent in our character…Continue

The Arab Spring is pointing out that there are masses of Muslim peoples who are disappointed and disillusioned with life. For these masses it is not surprising that they look to Islam, more religion, as their first default to what their hearts desire.

Adopting the simple and powerful lifestyle of praying, caring and sharing the love of Jesus Christ with those around us reminds us that if we follow Jesus, we would never have to worry about getting it wrong or drifting astray. We could forget about "who gets the credit" and just walk with Jesus.
If we needed to pray, he would kneel and invite us to kneel with him. If we needed to care, he would show us where and how. If we needed to share, he would be sure someone crossed our…Continue

As we go about our work day, we might learn from an uneducated worker named Brother Lawrence. When Brother Lawrence joined a monastery in Paris in the 1600's, he wasn't educated enough to become an official clergyman, so he went about serving in the monastery. For the rest of his life, he worked in the kitchen and repaired sandals. But it washow he went about his work that was remarkable.

We pray that by the year-end of 2020, every person in Jacksonville would be authentically loved by at least one follower of Jesus.
We believe that the greatest gift we can give a person is an opportunity to know that God loves them and cares deeply about them. Such love is not an emotion, but a choice.
Followers of Jesus do not love on the basis of how we feel because real love is not a transaction based upon performance, but upon a relationship. This…Continue

The Lord made a declaration about Nathanael's character that someone who had not met him couldn't know. Nathanael was shocked. Of course we understand how the Son of God would know us intimately, but Nathanael had to ask Jesus how He knew. Jesus' answer stirs my heart. He simply said, "I saw you under the fig tree."

For Arabian Peninsula Muslims most of the very basics of Christianity are so far out of their worldview. For them to think of God as Father or even more out there is Daddy (Abba) is really hard.

AstonHack 2016 and DrumHub
Published: 2018-01-12
Tags: webaudio, github
More than a year ago I went along to AstonHack 2016 as part of the Majestic team. We were mainly there to support the students trying to use Majestic API, but were pretty happy to assist them with whatever tech they were having trouble with. It was reasonably busy at first, but soon I found myself thinking I should probably start working on one of my ideas since I'm there anyway and everybody seemed to be busy with their hacks.
Since listening to a talk about WebAudio API during Hackference 2016 I've had this idea of taking a git repository and using the commit timings to create a drum track. I wanted the rhythm to speed up when the commit frequency was high and vice versa. Instead of trying to figure out the commit frequency I decided that every period between two commits would become one 4/4 measure and I would vary the tempo according to period between two adjacent commits. The other feature I wanted to add is somehow distinguishing the notes that fall on BPM peaks and troffs (e.g. if the rhythm is slowing down and after a certain point starts picking up I want the sample at that point to be different). I ended up picking a crash cymbal to denote the peaks and a tom-tom drum for the troffs.
Luckily for me GitHub has a REST API for their repositories, so I didn't need to do any git parsing myself. It also meant I could build the application without any server-side code and host it using GitHub Pages. It turns out I could get all the data using one request to the API (asking for a list of commits). The only thing left to do there was transforming the data into a time series. This was the first challenge as GitHub gives two timestamps - one as the "commiter" timestamp and one as the "author" one. This difference emerges from the fact that the original author of the commit might not have write access to the repository, in which case someone (the commiter) can take their commits and apply them. However, when multiple commits are applied this way the commiter timestamp of these commits is identical between the commits even if the author commits have different timestamps.
The GitHub API returns commits ordered by the commiter timestamp (as this is the order they appear in the repository). However, because of the duplication of timestamps it didn't really fit my purpose. Of course, I could've removed the duplicate timestamps, but I felt that wouldn't have been the best representation of the activity on the repository. Instead, I decided I'd use the author timestamps and simply sort them, which worked really well.
I knew that I wanted to map the period between commits into reasonable BPM as otherwise playing one repository could take months if not years. The mapping imposed a limit on the maximum BPM so that the shortest period between commits in any repository would correspond to one measure played at 480 beats per minute. When commits were spaced out more the tempo would decay exponentially. While testing I realised that many repositories are updated quite sporadically and in bursts - there were long periods of very low freaquency, so I added a limit to the lowest tempo and chose it to be slower by no more than a factor of 10. The resulting function for scaling is then
where A is the smallest time period used for one measure (4 beats at 480 BPM or 0.5 s), v is the factor limiting the lowest tempo (in this case 10), tmin is the smallest period between commits and t is the period between the current commit and the previous one.
One value that was quite difficult to get right in the above formula was the value of k - the constant that controls the exponential decay or in our case how easily the output BPM drops to the lowest value. After a good amount of experimentation and listening to what different repositories sounded like I settled to a value of k = 0.00001 s-1.
Once I had the commit data and scaled it appropriately the only thing left was to actually schedule the samples and press play. I used this intro to Web Audio API by Boris Smus to figure out how to get the browser to do what I wanted. I also threw together a simple UI using Bootstrap and a photo from Unsplash.
You can find the hosted result at gkudelis.net/drumhub and the code at the GitHub repo. Pick a GitHub repository, put the username/reponame in the text field and press play. If you're not sure what repository to try I suggest starting with tensorflow/tensorflow.

Market Beat: Reducing the size of the Fed's balance sheet
Market Beat
The Fed is going to start to reduce the size of its balance sheet, which is currently valued at about $4.5 trillion dollars. The balance sheet was built primarily by a process known as quantitative easing or QE. What they'll embark on now will be a process referred to as quantitative tightening.
Quantitative easing is a fairly unconventional monetary policy designed to put more cash into the economy when some stimulus is needed. The process of quantitative easing is accomplished by purchasing bonds on the open market and holding them on the balance sheet. That provides financial institutions with cash that should theoretically find its way into the economy. QE is used when interest rates are already at or near zero.
This round of QE was started during the recession of 2007-09, which followed the burst of the housing bubble. The Fed was pumping about $85 billion per month into the economy with its quantitative easing strategy through bond purchases
As the Fed starts tightening by selling off assets on its balance sheet, it will do so initially at a very slow pace. They have indicated that they will start the tightening process at a rate of about $10 billion per month. Every quarter they plan to increase the bond selling rate by another $10 billion until they hit $50 billion per month, at which point they will cease increasing the sales and hold at $50 billion monthly.
Support Local Journalism
They may decide to maintain a relatively large balance sheet, and only reduce it by about $1 trillion to $2 trillion dollars — $3.7 trillion was added to the balance sheet in the years following the financial crisis.
The impact on the bond market is uncertain at this point. One likelihood is that we'll see interest rates rise gradually as the process gets underway. Hopefully, the Fed won't do anything drastic that could spook the bond market. One Fed study showed that current policy was effectively lowering bond yields by slightly over 1 percent, which means that the tightening could potentially put long-term yields in the 3 percent to 5 percent range.
Normalized interest rates will be good for conservative investors and savers. The Fed is entering uncharted waters here with this type of monetary policy. The Fed should proceed at a slow, steady rate and not do anything dramatic. I don't expect interest rates to rise dramatically in the near term.

text: This question has frustrated me for many years. I have asked this question to many "scholars" and have yet to get an answer: The USSR and Germany make a pact. Germany invades Poland as does the USSR. England and France declare war on Germany but not on USSR . USSR anexes the Baltic states and still no declaration of war by the Allies. USSR invades Finland and Allies do not declare war....Why did the Allies not declare war on USSR for its aggression against these countries? You do realize that World War 2 was promulgated by the invasion of Poland...(and sadly it appears that at the end of the war this heady ideal of "defending ' Poland was forgotten....)

Java – Introduction to Object Oriented Programming [OOP]
In this Java programming tutorial post, we will take an introduction to Object Oriented Programming in Java. Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language. Lets first Understand what exactly is Object Oriented Programming in Detail –
Object Oriented Programming Definition –
OOP is an approach that provides a way of modularizing programs by creating partitioned memory area for both data and functions that can be used as a template(Class) for creating copies of such modules on demand (Objects)
To better Understand this definition lets try to see what procedural programming is –
Procedural Oriented Programming –
In procedural programming major focus is on functions rather than data and hence we have programs divided into modules aka functions. Functions are group of program statements with same name used to perform common task (e.g. function named add() might perform addition of 2 or n numbers). In this type however, data is usually global and focus on how to access data is not taken into account. Also this type of programming is at times not suitable for real world scenarios (we will see and example).
Some features of POP –
- List of instructions for a computer to follow.
- Group of similar tasks are organized as functions.
- Most functions shared global data.
- Data is publicly available.
Object Oriented Programming –
In Object Oriented Programming, focus is given on data and how to access that data and the real world scenarios share more resemblance. Programs are organized in terms of Objects which have the data and functions that access that data. These objects are derived out of Classes (consider them as custom templates that we users can define and there are inbuit classes and objects too).
Some features of OOP –
- Emphasis on Data rather than the procedure.
- Programs are divided in to Objects.
- Data structures are designed such that they characterize the Objects.
- Functions that operate on the data of an object are tied together in that same data structure.
- Data is hidden and cannot be directly accesses
Diagramatical Representation of POP vs OOP
Features of Object Oriented Programming
- Classes & Objects
- Data Abstraction and Encapsulation
- Inheritance
- Polymorphism
- Message Passing
Classes & Objects –
A class is a template which consists of data members (variables or other objects) and member functions using which we derived Objects. In simple terms – An Object is a variable of type Class
Class is just a template at we declare (or its predefined). It does not have physical memory, however when we create object of that class, memory is allocated in the RAM. Any entity that has state(variables aka member functions) and behavior(functions aka member functions or methods) is known as an object.
Inheritance –
When one class acquires all the properties and behaviours of parent class i.e. known as inheritance. It provides code reusability. It is used to achieve runtime polymorphism. We will study in detail about this in further tutorials.
Polymorphism –
When one task is performed by different ways i.e. known as polymorphism. In terms of programming, a function might behave differently in different scenarios and this functionality is known as polymorphism. In java, we use method overloading and method overriding to achieve polymorphism.
Abstraction –
Hiding internal details and showing functionality is known as abstraction. For example: phone call, we don't know the internal processing. In java, we use abstract class and interface to achieve abstraction.
Encapsulation –
Binding (or wrapping) code and data together into a single unit is known as encapsulation. A java class is the example of encapsulation. A class typically consists of data members (data) and member functions (code that operate on the data) together.
Advantage of OOPs over Procedure-oriented programming language
- OOPs makes development and maintenance easier where as in Procedure-oriented programming language it is not easy to manage if code grows as project size grows.
- OOPs provides data hiding whereas in Procedure-oriented programming language a global data can be accessed from anywhere.
- OOPs provides ability to simulate real-world event much more effectively. We can provide the solution of real word problem if we are using the Object-Oriented Programming language.
Example of Procedural Oriented Programming vs Object Oriented Programming
Lets understand the difference between POP and OOP and see how OOP is better when it comes to resembling real world scenarios in terms of programming.
Lets assume we want to store details of Cars and store its Model name, fuel type, mileage and price. Assume that we want to store details about 20 cars.
Now in POP since we don't have Objects and Classes, we have to create individual variables to hold every detail right ? So 5 variables for 1 car (1 variable for name, 1 for, fuel type and so on). Now this is just for 1 car right, we have 20 cars. so 5 x 20 = 100 variables. This definitely makes the whole program messy and lengthy right. Also if we were to peform some more tasks on 1 type or car, we would have to create individual functions for each which again complicates the process. Thus as you can see, in this scenario POP doesn't seem to be very efficient.
Now lets see what happens in OOP, in OOP we create a class which the required data variables. Then we use this class to create objects. Each object of Cars type has its own copies of variables encapsulated inside them. Thus when we create 1 Car object, by default we create all the data variables that we want to store for that car object. This makes it process easy. Now we can also add methods in the class which takes input from user to store the car details or to print/display those details. This makes it even more efficient as we only have to write the method in the class once and then all the objects of the class will by default get this method. Now there are many other added benefits like inheritance, polymorphism etc etc which we will see in futher tutorials.
This is how OOP is better than POP is many real world problem solving scenarios.

The gay scene
Cruising grounds
Here are our thoughts on cruising grounds:
- Cruising grounds can be dangerous places: know your exits. Tell a friend where you are going
- If you know someone else there, make contact: you can look out for each other
- Listening to music using headphones make you less aware of danger or attack
- Try not to carry valuables
- If you've met someone for the first time you may be tempted to take them home or go home with them. Beware of the risks. Get their phone number and suggest meeting another night
- Sexy though they may appear to be – stay clear of groups of straight men, particularly if they're loud or drunk
- Be wary of accepting lifts from strangers. If you are with a group of friends but do not know the driver, you should be cautious about being the last person to be dropped off. Hitch hiking can be dangerous. Try not to hitch alone although this may make getting lifts more difficult.
- Some guys have a 2nd phone (left at home) to which they send themselves messages with a quick description of the plan before running off with a complete stranger. Doing this in front of a potential shag also lets them know you are connected. Over the top (OTT) perhaps but it depends on how you value your personal safety (especially if you are not out).

Marvel, watch out: A Captain China movie might be on the way
Captain China is actually an American comic (and you can buy it on Amazon)
You know the story, right? A super soldier that's a symbol of his country, woken from a 50 year-long cryogenic sleep after World War II, trying to assimilate into modern culture while fighting baddies and tasked with saving the US President.
Except i'm not talking about Captain America. I'm talking about Captain China.
Yeah, this is a real thing. Even more surprising is that it's actually from an American publisher, and was created for US readers.
It's a 12-issue comic series, published by Excel Comics, which you can buy from Amazon. The series is penned by Chia-chi Wang from the US, who used to work at Marvel, and Jim Lai from Hong Kong.
While it isn't from the country, Captain China also enjoys quite a bit of fame among Chinese comic fans. Excel Comics told us it's mostly being read in China through forums such as Baidu Tieba. While each issue is priced at US$1 in the West, they purposefully distributed the comics on China's internet for free so that more Chinese readers will get to know the character.
So it's no wonder many Chinese companies are flirting with making a movie based on Captain China.
Back in 2016, a Chinese company said it was gonna make a movie called China Duizhang (Duizhang means captain). But two years on, nothing came of the project.
That didn't stop China's internet from reacting all over again when a different company announced that it would spend US$54 million to make a Captain China movie. It's slated to start filming next May.
This studio said its upcoming movie is based on the comics. But Excel Comics told us that they have no affiliation with it.
"Every year some Chinese company is trying to make a movie about Captain China," said Mountain Le, Asia manager of Excel Comics. "About two years ago, there was a splash about a company trying to make a Captain China movie. But not long after, the studio removed all the information about the project."
He added, "Some small Chinese entertainment companies are just looking to generate buzz."
We also have our doubts about this film, the second attempt to make a Captain China movie. And one of the reasons is the teaser poster, which… well, take a look.
On the left is the poster for Captain China. On the right? Art from 2012's Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
The funny thing is that this second attempt at a Captain China movie is also the second time it's been promoted with art taken from somewhere else.
The teaser poster from the first company trying to make a Captain China movie was also blatantly copied -- from a digital painting by the Slovak artist Rado Javor.
In response to these gaffes, a Chinese internet user wrote, "[Such plagiarism] is so Chinese."

I've been inspired by the 10 seasons of Sesame Street, going for their second round in my home. (We're obviously hooked on learning). Every Thursday will be sponsored by a letter. I'm as interested as anybody to see how this goes.....
A is for Auntie
I am an auntie. For the sake of record keeping, I thought I would write a few thoughts I had when each of my nieces and nephews arrived.
Marlie - I was living in Salt Lake City with Wendy. On a Monday, after a long day of work and school, I got home to hear a voice mail from Cody asking where we were, the baby was here! Snow storms and school kept me in Salt Lake for a couple of days. She literally, was the first perfect baby I have ever seen. She was so small with such a pretty head. She loved to keep her arms in the air while she was all bundled up. I got to stay at the hospital over night with her and Amber. I loved, loved to be a new auntie. Marlie has given me a lot of firsts ... barf on my front and back, sleepless nights, voice instant chats, etc. When she was small, and her legs were shorter, she made up a game called "Jump the Aunties." It was hilariously painful.
James - I was living in Logan, finishing my last semester of college. Wednesdays were horribly long days for me but he made this one so much better because I was anxiously waiting for a message that he had arrived. My dad sent me an email picture that afternoon. He was so beautiful! I got to see him a couple of days later. Jimmy and I were trying to change his diaper in the hospital crib and I'm pretty sure James is the first boy to pee on me. Even after that, I think he is the sweetest boy I know. He likes me to play "Auntie Fanny" with him. I chase the kids around and knock them over with my bum.
Jack - I was living in Layton but went to church at Weber State Institute. I think he was born on a Sunday morning because I raced across the street to see him after church. I loved seeing how Jimmy and Amber were just as excited to be new parents again as they were when Marlie was born. Jack was such a miracle. He had us all waiting on the edge of our seats for his arrival. He gave me my first race to see if what he just bit into was toxic. His teeth marks were in my deodorant. I knew it was him that bit it because I smelled his breath. Don't worry ... not toxic. He loves "Auntie Kisses." And by love I mean, it's an exciting chase!
Elizabeth - I was living in Roy when Elizabeth was born. I think it was a Tuesday. Tiffani had been in labor, pretty much forever, and so I was trying to patiently wait for the news of her arrival. Jeremy was over hanging my Christmas lights when we found out she had come. The next afternoon, Jimmy and I drove to the University Hospital on our lunch break to meet her. I was in love with her. I've been so lucky to have been able to cart her around and live so close to her. Her hugs are the greatest. I really loved watching Cody and Tiffani become such great parents. They love her so, so much.
I have a load of aunts. I'm grateful for each of them and appreciate their different personalities. Since I was very young, they have played a very important role in my memories. They have all made me feel special to them in a variety of ways. I feel so lucky to have been blessed with so many aunts who care about me.
When I was smaller than I remember, up until now, my youngest aunt, Aunt Valerie, taught me this little bitty: "Whose girl are you, Joey?" "I'm Valerie's girl!" When I say it now it still holds the same meaning. I tried to go on a pity-binge for a while and say that she had replaced me with Lynsie or her little grandbaby, Hadley. But I've learned that the truth really is that you can have more than one "girl." And I still rank as the founding member, holding the greatest seniority in a very exclusive club. When I was little, she would come steal me away for this or that and I even got to be her flower girl!
I love my mother's sisters and sister-in-laws especially for how they treat my mom. She loves them so much. I like to watch my mom on the phone with any of them. She paces around the house, sometimes she talks quietly, and then there's an outburst of loud laughing. They make her happy. I love to be apart of the group when they are all together because they all are happy together even when things are tough. I feel like I'm in an important crowd when I'm with them.
There was a special time (1983-2000), when I had one aunt at my daily disposal. I really liked to play at her house because all of those cousins were there, but I liked to go even when I knew it was only her. She was probably sad to see a kid coming when her's were all away. I liked to help her wash her car in the driveway or sit at the counter and watch her old TV show re-run or anxiously wait for the m&m cookies to come out of the oven. I really liked when she made me a peanut butter sandwich because it had butter, peanut butter, and her homemade jam. I liked to ride with her in the car. I could watch her, from my house, weeding her flowers, mowing the grass, washing the windows, watering the hanging basket outside the front door. I loved when our family would walk over because their family was sitting on the porch. I loved to see their family walking over to visit at our house. She would walk around the grass while the rest of them cut across. At the end, I was amazed at how she greeted her last guests and mimed behind their backs to tell me to offer them something to eat or drink, and even a napkin. I loved how she, of all people, helped me prepare to lose her. I know that sometimes people who leave us are idolized without faults. But I dare say, I don't know anyone else with her graciousness, integrity, patience, and love. It's probably from her dad, Grandpa Stone. I like when I see her daughters twiddle their thumbs, roll their eyes, or keep their neat homes. They all have her in them, too.
I think Heavenly Father must have thought up the idea of aunts. They're too special to have been an accident.

So while I figure out all the new buttons and doodads, I'm tickled to present The Po hard at work in his finest moments. The little dude yawns like no other!
Harrumph...and we're done!
Hurrah! You would not BELIEVE how many people have emailed me to plaintively ask "why no Po blog postings?". Honestly, the little man is quite the mini celebrity, isn't he?
I see his big fat noggin is filling out - he's on that cusp between puppyhood and adulthood, all big feet and silliness.
Send him kisses from all of us!
Thanks Carol!
I missed posting about Po bear - even amidst the crazy hours I've been pulling lately I'd think, "Ok, if I just stay up for another bit I'd get some pictures up...", promptly before falling asleep upright on the couch, of course! But we're happy to be back, and it's nice to hear that the blockhead has been missed.
He's definitely getting big these days - we had to buy him a new collar this weekend to fit his thick bully neck!
Kisses and a big hello to the gang. xo, f :)

Victoria Beckham gave her followers a sweet look at her past on Saturday to celebrate her sister's birthday.
The fashion designer tweeted a throwback childhood picture with her younger sibling Louise and the message: 'To my wonderful sister on her birthday. You are a wonderful mother and beautiful friend x I love u x Victoria'.
With a bright grin on her face that emphasised her chubby cheeks, Victoria has never looked so cute.
Throwback: Victoria Beckham shares childhood photo with sister Louise to celebrate her birthday
She certainly looked a lot like her children when she was young, with Romeo, Cruz and Harper who sharing a lot of similar features.
The day before Victoria offered one of her more reserved smiles as she visited herDover Street store with friend and celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves.
Looking elegantly stylish in a white ensemble, Victoria was clearly happy to be at work to turn on the store's Christmas lights and film a promotional video.

Shoot: Victoria was seen shooting a video inside the shop
The former Spice Girl opened her first store to house her expanding fashion and accessories collection last month, though she could not attend the event.
Victoria was speaking at a UN conference in New York at the time so her husband David Beckham attended in her place as the shop opened to the public.
It isn't a conventional retailer as there are no till points and it looks more like an art gallery than a place to buy clothes.

Stylist pal: Celebrity hairdresser Ken Paves accompanied her on Friday
Victoria just launched her VB collection at Selfridges in Manchester on Thursday and Ken Paves joined her up North at the department store too.
She said at the launch: 'I think Manchester has a lot of style, a lot of culture and is such an exciting place to be. The people I have met here over the years have been incredibly stylish both in clothes and in attitude.'
'I don't get back as much as I would like to! It's hard with four children at school and a business to run in London to travel across the UK as often as I'd ideally want to,' reports the Manchester Evening News.
Pals: The two were introduced by mutual friend Eva Longoria
Expanding: Victoria recently travelled to Manchester to launch her VB collection in Selfridges
Reunion? In 2016 the Spice Girls will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Wannabe
Victoria also hinted that there potentially could be a Spice Girl reunion in 2016 for the 20th anniversary of Wannabe.
'I hope to have a few things in the pipeline but I'm not ready to talk about them yet,' the designer said.
This week, the singer was presented with the Philanthropreneur Award at the annual Global Gift Gala by her best friend Eva Longoria.

Sometime ago I issued a Warning To Humanity about the absolute necessity of preserving free speech rights. Last year I abandoned all mainstream media and started getting all my political news from sources I came to trust on YouTube. I had to filter out various biases in each case of course.
All human sources of information on political matters are inherently biased in one way or another due to their loaded nature—social status, power and control are always in play, i.e., who will have it and who will not. Thus all of our baser social instincts are on display when it comes to politics, including the crucial role of powerful high-status elites who seek to determine political outcomes and the limits of what can and cant be talked about.
This week our globalist corporate elites began the process of purging YouTube of all "wrong-think" dissenting voices, an action that a few insightful people, and only a few, could see coming from a mile away. It got under way with this official YouTube blog post, which the New York Times and the Washington Post knew about well before targeted independent YouTube "creators" had any inkling that they were about to get shafted. That blog post starts out with this text—
Over the past few years, we've been investing in the policies, resources and products needed to live up to our responsibility and protect the YouTube community from harmful content. This work has focused on four pillars: removing violative content, raising up authoritative content, reducing the spread of borderline content and rewarding trusted creators. Thanks to these investments, videos that violate our policies are removed faster than ever and users are seeing less borderline content and harmful misinformation. As we do this, we're partnering closely with lawmakers and civil society around the globe to limit the spread of violent extremist content online.
Why does the YouTube community require protection ... from itself? If you follow that "authoritative content" link (read it properly as "authoritarian content") you get another YouTube document with the Orwellian title Building a better news experience on YouTube, together. Together? Not so much. Scrolling down you find the following—
As part of the launch of GNI in March, we announced funding to support the future of news. Today we are committing $25M to a YouTube-specific investment:Expertise. We're establishing a working group with news organizations and experts from around the world to help us develop new product features, improve the news experience on YouTube, and tackle emerging challenges. News organizations including Vox Media, Jovem Pan, and India Today are early members of the working group. We're looking forward to having more join as we convene the group in the coming weeks.
Ignore Jovem Pan and India Today. They are merely there to create the illusion of inclusivity and fairness. Focus instead on Vox Media because they are the ones calling the shots.
The YouTube purge began late last week when one Carlos Maza, an especially "woke" and gay representative of globalist corporate elite interests began a public campaign on Twitter to get conservative comedian Steven Crowder banned from YouTube. Carlos Maza works for Vox, which along with The Verge, is owned by Vox Media. In turn, Vox Media's biggest investor by far is NBC-Universal ($200 million), which is owned by the cable TV giant Comcast, which owns NBC, MSNBC, and so many other things that it would make your head spin were I to list them all.
Well, we are talking about globalist corporate elites here, right?
Anyway, Crowder's biggest crime was to ridicule Vox and Maza using various terms for gays which Maza had at various times used to describe himself. Watch this recent Crowder video, which itself was a response to this Vox/Maza video which claims—I'm not kidding—that Fox News controls all mainstream media narratives.
(I do not usually watch Crowder but had to in this case to see what was going on. For example, as with so many other people that I do watch, he denies that anthropogenic climate change exists. As I said at the top, you have to take everything that everyone says with a grain of salt. Here I am interested in free speech issues.)
Please note that Maza asserts without argument and apparently any self-awareness whatsoever that "gatekeeping" is one of the most important things journalist do. Got it? Maza states that a primary function of media is to control what narratives you can hear and suppress those you are not supposed to hear. Crowder was responding to that scary assertion among other things. In fact, Carlos Maza claims in a TED talk last month (May 9, 2019) that journalistic "neutrality" is making us dumber (emphasis added).
We're trained to believe that good journalism is "neutral" — it doesn't try to tell people what to think or who to believe. But what if this approach to journalism is making it harder for us to understand the difference between right and wrong, good and evil?
Media critic Carlos Maza explains how the "fair and balanced" approach to news makes it harder for audiences to differentiate between good and bad information, and may ultimately normalize extreme and even hateful political positions.
There you go. Unlike Carlos, who in his own estimation is perhaps the most insightful man who has ever walked the Earth, the vast majority of humans are way too dumb to differentiate between "good and bad information." Therefore these poorly informed and judgmentally-challenged humans clearly require the type of wise guidance that only Carlos and Vox.com can provide (see directly below and also see my Flatland essay quote below).
Maza draws on examples from media coverage of a range of recent controversies, including the debates over climate change, vaccines, and immigration, to argue that good journalism requires bias -- the editorial courage to say "no" to certain perspectives and viewpoints.
Maza's talk is a culmination of years of research and writing he's done creating his media literacy video series "Strikethrough," which he produces for Vox.com.
Long story short, YouTube did not outright ban Crowder and his 3.8 million subscribers. They simply de-monetized his entire channel and punished him in some other ways. This did not placate Twitter's @gaywonk—"Tucker Carlson is a white supremicist"— who no doubt will continue to pressure YouTube to get rid of all "wrong-think" creators. And now, the purge which started against Crowder is starting to hit lots and lots of others. This bloodbath is not over by a long-shot.
Basically, anyone on YouTube who takes free speech seriously is under imminent threat at this point. And now we go back to the question I raised above—why does the YouTube community require protection ... from itself?
Because, as I said in the very first Adventures In Flatland essay—
The simple fact is that all large, complex societies have elites who make all the important decisions, "choices" which benefit them to the detriment of everyone else, a reality which becomes obscured in so-called "democratic" societies.
The inevitable existence of self-serving, powerful elites constitutes the observed social pattern requiring an explanation. The "blank slate" merely provides a post-hoc rationalization justifying the existence of these elites, those who serve them, or those who seek to join them.
And that is of course what we see historically and in the world today—social elites making self-interested "choices" for the rest of us. The history of social transformation (sometimes called "reform") demonstrates again and again the social disasters our human "elites" have wrought. Consider V.I. Lenin, Robespierre, or Alan Greenspan, to pick only three examples among the countless others history offers.
It is highly suspicious of course that elites, or those who serve them, always find a way to rationalize not only their own entitlement, but also why the rest of us can't possibly get along without them
The views of those running things are and have always been self-interested delusions. To borrow from Mark Twain, these beneficiaries of the status quo have corn-pone opinions — "you tell me whar a man gits his corn pone, en I'll tell you what his 'pinions is."
Those making up society's elite, or those seeking higher social status or those with an agenda for social change, are no wiser or better than anybody else. However, they are much worse in one crucial respect—they believe they can make wise "choices" for the rest of us.
In this context, this text from the YouTube blog post announcing the purge will make more sense. YouTube seeks to—
Reduce borderline content and raise up authoritative voices
In addition to removing videos that violate our policies, we also want to reduce the spread of content that comes right up to the line. In January, we piloted an update of our systems in the U.S. to limit recommendations of borderline content and harmful misinformation, such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, or claiming the earth is flat.
Forget that "miracle cure/flat earth" bullshit. That text is there to provide cover for a purge of "wrong-think" political conservatives (i.e., anyone to the right of Mao Zedong at this point).
We're looking to bring this updated system to more countries by the end of 2019. Thanks to this change, the number of views this type of content gets from recommendations has dropped by over 50% in the U.S.
I've added emphasis below.
Our systems are also getting smarter about what types of videos should get this treatment, and we'll be able to apply it to even more borderline videos moving forward.
As we do this, we'll also start raising up more authoritative content in recommendations, building on the changes we made to news last year. For example, if a user is watching a video that comes close to violating our policies, our systems may include more videos from authoritative sources (like top news channels) in the "watch next" panel.
[My note: they also promote "authoritative" sources (again, read "authoritarian" sources like NBC, CBS, MSNBC, Vox, the New York Times, etc.) in YouTube searches.]
And there you have it. We do not have to search far to find the hidden unconscious motivations underlying such behavior. The motivation here and in all similar cases throughout human history is to maintain or elevate one's own social status and power while reducing the status and power of others in what amounts to a zero-sum game.
Once we understand the real motivation behind the purge, the YouTube announcement makes perfect sense, as long as you remember that "those making up society's elite, or those seeking higher social status or those with an agenda for social change, are no wiser or better than anybody else [but are] much worse in one crucial respect—they believe they can make wise "choices" for the rest of us."
And that is why the"woke" people running YouTube believe without self-doubt that the YouTube community and all those watching YouTube videos require protection from themselves.
And now we must confront the big totalitarian lie—poor Carlos Maza portrays himself as the victim because Steven Crowder makes fun of him while Maza and his elite backers simultaneously try to destroy the lives or take away the livelihood of what will ultimately turn out to be many hundreds (if not thousands) of YouTube independent creators.
Remember, the rule of thumb for understanding Flatland says pay attention to what people do, not what they say. What people say in cases like this (e.g., those official YouTube statements above) are almost invariably post-hoc rationalizations disguising or justifying reprehensible unconscious motivations (like eliminating the competition in this case). That's simply the way Human Nature works.
Truly independent YouTubers speaking freely pose an existential threat to media elites who want exclusive control of the narratives the public get to hear. It follows from the elite point of view that these independent voices must be shut down, banned, demonetized, cast into a silent wilderness where no one can hear them. This is an instinctual actionable form of filtering which differs from the more reactive, defensive and self-protective strategies which I discussed in the 4th Flatland essay. In this form of filtering, you silence (or even kill) those whose message must be suppressed or whose existence is an affront. This is done via force majeure.
When in human history was it not the case that might makes right?
There is no such thing as moral progress as so many people would have you believe. Since the French Revolution, it has often been those who cling most to delusional utopian ideologies whose actions belie those same delusions. This is a case in point. Human evil raises its ugly head over and over again in entirely predictable ways. Here we go again.

Baba Booey Unfriends Howard on Facebook
Bobo called in later in the morning with possibly his best question ever – but Howard already knew what he was going to bring up, so he cut him off nevertheless.
"Groundbreaking news: Gary defriended you!" Bobo screamed over the phone. As you may have heard on Monday's Wrap Up Show, Stern Show Executive Producer Gary Dell'Abate has chosen to cut his Boff, Howard, out of his personal Facebook life as a result of the haranguing he got for a photo of he and his son at a Mets game a couple of weeks ago – and he told the whole world on the air. "Gary is such a f-cking mystery to me," Howard fumed.
Listening back to the tape from yesterday's Wrap Up Show, Gary is heard telling co-host Jon Hein: "This is my private space … I just want my little area where I'm not getting bugged."
Howard, in turn, was seething and launched into what will surely be a legendary chapter in Baba Booey history as he lambasted him for the moronic move, telling him this was worse than "Baba Booey," worse than his "shitty pitch," and worse than the love tape.
Fred summed it up best: "I'm bewildered."
The coup de grace of the entire situation was that Gary didn't unfriend Howard correctly so as of now, he can still see everything.

A: My answer, in a nutshell, "No!". These questions roll in all the time. When it comes to implementation, sales and filling your programs, you'll need a clear plan and strategy. I can help with the strategy but I won't implement for you. You'll need to fine-tune your sales skills or expand your team to support that role.
These inquiries and similar questions prompted me to share some hard truths. Let's start with a specific example.
The inquiry: "I'm looking to partner with a marketing person. Can we connect to discuss?"
Me: Rolling into 'Who, What, Where, When, and Why' mode… and asking pointed questions:
"Who do you serve?
Where do you currently market?
What do you offer and what are your projections/goals?
When did you start your business?
Why do you want to partner with a "marketing person" and what are your expectations?"
The answers to these questions revealed some pie in the sky thinking…
- First, ideal clients were not defined (you cannot be all things to everyone but when you are clear about who you serve you can tailor your message to serve many).
- Second, NO marketing plan. Nada, zip, zero. Nothing in place (hint: if you don't know where you're going, it's really hard to get there).
- Third, YIKES! Again, wishy-washy info about the offer and no specific revenue goals! (you've got to be able to clearly and concisely share what you offer with value proposition so people understand the results you deliver. AND, for the love of everything money-making – you've got to make projections so you can meet and beat them).
- Fourth, the business is NEW. That's OK but when you're starting out you've got to create a strong strategy and compelling message to guide you to success (a willy-nilly approach will not produce predictable results).
- Fifth, and this one was painful: The reason for wanting to partner with a marketing person is because this individual didn't want to do the work. The expectation was to get me to SELL their stuff for a percentage. (Let's back up the bus: No plan, no strategy, no projections, unclear message, value proposition not spelled out, and perhaps the most damaging – a mindset buy in that all it will take to be successful is hiring a marketing person to do it all for you).
There were so many things wrong. I had to pause, realize that people just don't know what they don't know, and share HOW I could potentially help (and no, it's not by doing all the work for you or anyone for that matter).
I explained that in order to market anything you've got to have some clear foundational pieces in place. For starters – a strategy/plan and clear message/copy. Without those bare-boned basics, it's going to be difficult to market and sell anything.
I shared some results my clients have achieved: things like mapping out revenue streams that produced multiple profit points, tripling investment in my services with just ONE sale based on my packaging recommendations, mapping out million-dollar plans that were realized, and more.
Here's what I know to be true – you have to have a strategy to write into. That's right! Your plan guides your message and every step moving forward. You can learn more about what I can do to help you create your strategy here. Once your plan and strategy are in place, compelling copy and a magnetizing marketing message can help sell your products and services.

A Snapshot of Murder
By Frances Brody
Seven keen amateur photographers gather for the most popular openings of the decade. Only six will return.
Yorkshire, 1928. Indomitable sleuth Kate Shackleton is taking a well-deserved break from her detective work and indulging in her other passion: photography. When her local Photographic Society proposes an outing to the opening of the Bronte Museum, Kate jumps at the chance to visit the setting of Wuthering Heights. But the setting proves to be even more sinister than the dreary classic when a member of their party is found murdered.
The event is one of the most popular of the decade, and each of the seven photographers were there to capture the perfect shot of a lifetime. But Tobias, the deceased, was known for being loud-mouthed and didn't care to curb his demeanor. Kate deduces that he must have had several enemies. But soon, she begins to suspect that perhaps the murderer is amongst them. And before they shrink to just a group of five, Kate must pick back up her magnifying glass and sleuthing cap to crack the case in A Snapshot of Murder, Frances Brody's tenth brilliant Kate Shackleton mystery.
Frances Brody lives in Leeds where she was born and grew up. After leaving school at 16, she worked and traveled, including a spell in New York. She then won a place at Ruskin College, Oxford, and afterwards studied at York University. Before creating the Kate Shackleton mysteries, Frances wrote historical sagas, winning the HarperCollins Elizabeth Elgin award for most regionally evocative debut saga of the millennium. When not writing or reading, Frances likes to test her less than brilliant map reading skills by walking in the Yorkshire Dales.
Praise for A Snapshot of Murder:
"Absolutely captivating! With charm, skill, and spot-on insight, the talented Frances Brody expertly transports us to Yorkshire, 1928―and we are thrilled to be there. You'll adore the wonderfully atmospheric dialogue and put Brody on your bookshelves with Bowen and Winspear."
―Hank Phillippi Ryan, national bestselling author of Trust Me
"A strong historical-mystery series; perfect for fans of post-WWI detectives, including Maisie Dobbs and Bess Crawford."
"Well-crafted…The simmering tension gradually heats up to a rolling boil. Brody dresses this elegant mystery in literary history while accenting the cultural mores of the tumultuous 1920s. She also convincingly renders the secrets and vices of her well-rounded characters. An intelligent and complex woman, Kate is someone readers will want to see a lot more of."
―Publishers Weekly
"Brody's writing is like her central character Kate Shackleton: witty, acerbic and very, very perceptive."
―Ann Cleeves, award-winning author of the Vera Stanhope mysteries
"I lost a day's work because of this novel. I couldn't put it down. Kate Shackleton is a delightful heroine―smart, strong, and independent. Treat yourself to a trip back to 1920s Britain."
―Elaine Viets, author of Ice Blonde
Praise for the Kate Shackleton mysteries:
"A delightful trip through time and space to 1920s England with a heroine who would make the ladies of the Golden Age proud."
―Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of the Royal Spyness mysteries
"Frances Brody writes marvelous British mysteries."
―Charles Todd, bestselling author of the Bess Crawford mysteries
"In Kate Shackleton, Frances Brody has created a smart and endearing sleuth whose resourcefulness and skill for deduction shine as she investigates murders in 1920s England. With vivid settings, colorful characters, and excellently-plotted mysteries, this series is an absolute delight!"
―Ashley Weaver, author of the Amory Ames mysteries
"Kate Shackleton is a splendid heroine."
―Ann Granger, author of the Ben Ross mysteries
"A mash-up of 'Masterpiece' series 'Indian Summers' and 'Downtown Abbey.'"
―New York Post on Murder on a Summer's Day
"Brody expertly weaves historical details and social issues to capture the essence of the 1920s. Kate's intelligence and curiosity make her an appealingly complex heroine. With a writing style and plotting reminiscent of golden age crime fiction, this is a good read-alike for fans of Jacqueline Winspear's 'Maisie Dobbs'' mysteries, Charles Todd's 'Bess Crawford' series, and Catriona McPherson's 'Dandy Gilver' books."
―Library Journal
"Well-plotted and atmospheric…Kate Shackleton joins Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs."
―Literary Review

This way you get a good mix of crunchy outer celery and the sweeter heart. Try this Waldorf Salad recipe for four. Slice and core 2 large eating apples and put in a bowl, then toss with the juice of 1⁄2 lemon. Add a 100g bag rocket, 1⁄2 finely chopped celery head and 50g (2oz) chopped walnuts. Serve with a dressing made from 100ml (31⁄2fl oz) olive oil, 1tsp Dijon mustard and 1tbsp white wine vinegar.

Suzanne Fiore: Photographer
The following is written by
Suzanne Fiore
, a professional photographer who became inspired to document the familial relationships of people with disabilities by her uncle who had Down syndrome. For any families interested in learning more about Suzanne's work or participating in a photo session, she can be reached at
When I was a child, my sister and I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house when my parents went to work. My grandmother, grandfather, and
Uncle Kenny
lived in the red brick house at the bottom of a hill that was perfect for speeding down when I rode my big wheel. When my sister and I would walk into my grandmother's house, we received the biggest hugs, kisses galore, and a few painful pinches of our cheeks!
My grandmother's love was boundless. That love was not only shown to us through her hugs, kisses, and pinches on the cheeks, her delicious food, or her willingness to sit and play solitaire with us for hours. It was shown to us through her love for my Uncle Kenny, who had Down syndrome.
My uncle was limited in his ability to do many things on his own, including speaking and feeding himself. He needed constant care and supervision. My grandmother would always tell us of when he was born and how the Doctor suggested she put him in a home to be cared for. My grandmother visited the "home" only to find overcrowded rooms where people with special needs were practically living on top of each other without enough people to care for them. My grandmother would say "When I saw how they were going to supposedly care for my son, I took him home to really care for him myself." And she did. To the very best of her ability, she and my grandfather cared for their son 24 hours a day for the rest of their lives. My grandmother lived to be 86 yea
rs old and my grandfather lived to be 95 with my uncle by their side until their last days.
What came with that depth of love was extreme sacrifice. Although they had my incredibly selfless mother by their side – always showing up to care for her brother alongside my grandparents – they often felt stuck in their home for fear that my uncle might react in a way that they wouldn't know how to handle in public. "What if he vomits when we're out to dinner?" "What if we can't find a bathroom?" "What if he punches himself?" Those concerns kept them homebound mostly. There was far less societal awareness and acceptance when my grandparents were raising my uncle. Far fewer opportunities and a lot more fear of judgment.
When my grandparents died, my mother became Uncle Kenny's primary caregiver. She struggled with what was best for him moving forward. She wanted to honor the story my grandmother had told us of how she refused to leave her son in a home. But she also knew that so much had changed in that regard. We, as her family, encouraged and supported her to consider giving him a new chapter in his life and my mother found the most loving home for Kenny. In fact, because of the loving and courageous choice that my mother made, my Uncle Kenny participated in events that he never had before. He was happy, he had new friends, new experiences, people who truly cared for him and he always had my mother by his side. My mother cared for my uncle from the time he was born until the day he died. She is behind so much of why I am passionate about offering my services and experience to others. The relationship she had with her brother is an exemplary lesson in love.
Now that my grandparents and my uncle are gone from this life, I have noticed a lack of tangible evidence of the incredible love and care that took place in that red brick house. The way my Uncle smiled when my grandmother sat close to him at the kitchen table and whistled. The way she gave him his morning coffee with a spoon. The way my grandfather clapped hands with Kenny. Even the moments of frustration and fatigue: The moments when my Uncle cried and we didn't know why or how to comfort him. The moments when he would reach out and grab us by the shirt with a grip tight enough to be held there until he chose to release his grip. Moments of laughter and support. The strength my grandmother showed when lifting my Uncle from his chair. The way Kenny smiled when my mother walked into the room. His bond with the caregivers who cared for him when my grandparents died. Very few of these moments exist in the form of a photograph. I've searched for them thinking that something must exist. We have some posed family snapshots from birthdays and holidays, but even those don't tell the story of the legacy that my Grandparents and my Uncle left behind. I asked my mother if my grandmother ever considered having a family portrait taken. She said "No. Mostly because we never knew if someone outside of the family would have the patience and understanding to capture them all or how Kenny would react."
I often feel that my grandparents kept themselves hidden from the outside world in order to give my uncle the best care they thought possible, considering what was (and what was not) available to them at the time.
Not having photographic proof of the relationships that existed between my uncle and our family saddens me. I so wish there was a photographer who offered the patience and understanding that my family would have been grateful to have so that I could now share their legacy of love through a visual art form.
It's that wish that has fueled my passion to be that photographer for other families who may still have fear what a photo session would be like for their family. Or maybe it's simply a matter of not knowing exactly how to capture the important role that their family members play in our world. The story between caregivers and the person being cared for is an important story to tell but perhaps a caregiver's mind is too full to even think about how important they are or why having their photos taken would be thought of as a gift. I encourage that investment for themselves, for their loved ones, for today's society, and for generations that will follow. That relationship is a model that we could all truly learn from and admire.
Today, there is so much more available to families who have a relative with special needs but there still seems to be, from my own personal observations, many families who don't recognize how much the world needs to SEE their contribution to our society. From my point of view – we could use a lot more visuals of us caring for one another to offset the rest of what we see happening around us constantly. I would like to be a participant in that idea. To show what unconditional love looks like. I want my work as a photographer to leave behind a legacy of a unique kind of love that exists within families where a loved one has special needs because I believe it's an important message. In addition to that, I want to gift those families with the proof of their own personal connection and loving kindness toward their loved ones for many generations to be inspired by.
This work is a tribute to my family and a big THANK YOU to them for showing me what true love looks like.

Full disclaimer -- these margarita cheesecakes are family friendly. Think of them as more "margarita inspired" than actually full of margarita. They're also vegan, gluten-free, raw and completely delicious. They'll be the hit of your next party, if they last long enough for the guests to arrive!
Mini Margarita Cheesecakes [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]
- ½ cup macadamia nuts
- ½ cup walnuts
- ½ cup pecans
- ½ cup dates
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 3 cups cashews (soaked overnight)
- 1 cup date paste
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- ½ cup room temp almond milk (or milk of choice)
- ¾ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup lime juice
Garnish (optional):
- sliced fresh strawberries
- sliced limes
- Vanilla Coconut Cream Garnish (recipe HERE)
- Soak your cashews overnight making sure to fill bowl with plenty of water as cashews expand quite a bit. If you don't have time, soak at least 2-3 hours. The longer you soak them, the smoother the consistency.
- Place all crust ingredients in a food processor, blender or high speed blender and pulse until nuts and dates are chopped well.
- Drop 3 spoonfuls of mixture in each section of a muffin tin, making sure to place mixture on top of parchment strips if using. Press down until mixture is firm and creates a crust like bottom layer.
- Next, put all filling ingredients in a food processor, blender or high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If you are not using a high speed blender, then you will have to blend for a while to get a smooth consistency but eventually you will. When I use my food processor it takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Put 3 spoonfuls of filling on top of crust layer in muffin tins. You may need to add more, depending on your tins. You want the filling layer to be about ¼ to ½ inch from the top of the tin.
- Freeze overnight for best results, or for at least 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before you are ready to serve, but not much longer or they may get too soft. Use tabs to pull up each cheesecake cup and place on a serving platter. Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries, limes, and/or Vanilla Coconut Cream Garnish. Enjoy!
