Revelation – A Valid Prophecy – 2012 ?
March 18, 2010 by Elder/Minister DeBorrah K. Ogans
Filed under Society & Culture
The Book of Revelation is quite an interesting, intriguing narrative account of the grand finale! Bursting at the seams with a great wealth of relative, similar, prophetic symbolism that is also found in the Books of Daniel and Zechariah. It is in Revelation that John shares his many quite extraordinary, remarkable visions. John endured a lot of persecution because of his faith and belief in Jesus Christ. It is here on the rocky island of Patmos John was exiled because he would not worship the image of Emperor Domitian. Scores of readers shy away from reading Revelation and find some of its contents a bit disturbing. Others simply find it weird and even a bit irrational. However, when one looks closer through a spiritual lens you will discover that John truly and unselfishly intended to enlighten, inspire hope and encouragement in the midst of his own personal predicament. Revelation contains valid prophecy.
Revelation has been described as one of the most complicated, intimidating Books in the Bible. One might pose the question; "Well if it is so complicated then why bother at all to read Revelation?" First and foremost because it is the inspired Word of God. John gives us a profound reason to persevere through its contents. One must certainly solicit the aid and assistance of the Holy Spirit to open your spiritual ears for any lucid clarity. John himself really answers that question earlier on. He tells us that "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take it to heart what is written in it, because the time is near…"
John also reinforces the fact that Jesus Christ is, lived here on earth, is the King of Kings, and the Almighty Ruler, of the kings of the earth and is most definitely coming back again! Here in Revelation we are reminded that Jesus created all things and all things are subject to Him. This further helps one to understand why Jesus humbled Himself, and actually became the "Word in flesh." It was out of obedience to the will of the Father that He died upon the cross, and then arose with all power. Here we learn the immense significance of His amazing position as the "Lamb of God." He once and for all gave His life. For those who believe this is the Gospel the "Good News!" Just by knowing who we are in Him helps us to live victoriously as John did despite his situation and what was happening in the world! Essentially our purpose for life and living is to discover Him as our Creator and seek Him above everything else. We who are believers have been purchased with His Blood. The Church belongs to Him, His Church is His Bride!
Revelation contains an affluent wealth of prophetic visions that stretches one's imagination to think far beyond the surface. To ponder and launch out into the deep where one's faith or lack thereof becomes apparent. John goes on to describe the events on a scroll to be sent to the seven (7) Churches. To each of them he has some very specific and interesting comments. Take some time and see where your congregation of choice is? "He who has an ear, let Him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches." It is important today in this 21st century to be mindful that the scriptures are being fulfilled. GOD's WORD is AWESOME! God wants us to have an intimate personal relationship with Him. It is important to know the Lord's Word for yourself. This way you "will no longer be infants tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming…" as expressed in Ephesians.
It is here in Revelation that we are reminded of the ongoing spiritual warfare that was and has continued to go on within and against His Church. Keep in mind when Revelation was written the many large, small, storefront and or mega buildings where the Church comes together for worship did not exist. The war between good and evil continues. This is again why it is so very important to have an intimate personal relationship with the Lord and His Word. Revelation does not easily open its contents for one to readily embrace and understand. One must seek and call upon the Holy Spirit to keep you attentive. To continue through the many passages that requires a deep concentration and steadfastness through the many tumultuous interludes. This is also why it is so very important to worship the Lord "in Spirit and in TRUTH He indeed, is truly worthy of our praise!
All in all Revelation major overtones reassures us that our HOPE and TRUST must be in the Lord. John clearly reminds us that GOD alone gave His only Begotten Son to redeem us from the clutches of sin and death and insure our access to eternal life! It is through Adam that sin and death entered our existence. During one's mesmerizing safaric journey through Revelation there are many turns and unexpected surprises. Vivid, veracious scenes depicting the seven (7) seals, seven (7) trumpets, scrolls, exotic creatures, dragons and angels, seven (7) plagues and seven (7) bowls of God's wrath, and a wondrous plethora of rare precious gemstones and so much more… Here in Revelation there is also a wonderful vision magnificently illustrating the joy and honor for being invited to the great wedding supper. SEVEN is the number of COMPLETION! The King of Kings emerges and gives us a glimpse of what Heaven is like. It is through Jesus Christ's love for us, His birth, sinless life, crucifixion, death and resurrection that we have been redeemed and given the gift of eternal life. Within the power of His resurrection is our Hope!
Yes our country has been in an economic crisis, property values plummeted declined. Companies and corporations large and small are closed doors. God's principles for marriage and the family are being abandoned by the masses, immorality on the rise, unexplained weather phenomenon, wars and rumors of war continue, the entire universe is being impacted. Yes one must be aware and concerned, but don't be alarmed or afraid by all the events we hear and will continue to hear. Is it important to read Revelation? Yes of course, All of God's Word is true. John tells us that "Behold, I AM coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of this prophecy in this book."
It is also in Revelation that an angel of the Lord reminds us that "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord the God of the spirits and prophets, sent an angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place." God knows us from the inside out through and through. He knows the why, who what, and why not. You may not want to think about it but time is of the essence. Our entire lives are an open book to the Lord. It is important that we keep in mind that our life continues on throughout eternity. It is important to know for sure where you will spend eternity! This is not based upon what someone says, thinks or does not say about you. It is based on His Word and knowing without a doubt that it is to Him you belong. "It is in Him we move and live and have our being." Hear what His Spirit has to say "BLESSED are those who wash their robes, that they may go through the gates of the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehoods…"Although Revelation may be difficult to comprehend at times, I want to encourage you to read on. Remember the Word of God is like no other. It is "quick (alive) and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword…" Since it is so full of life, each time you take time to read it and glean its wisdom your spiritual ears and eyes are opened just that much more! And yes most definitely, Revelation is a valid prophecy
God is our Father & Creator! Have you really given some serious thought to what eternity will be like? Imagine The Word tells us that there will be no more, death, pain or sorrow! "God will wipe every tear from their eyes! " It is important to realize when you truly are living for the Lord whatever you are going through its not over for you. In the end "WE WIN" God has the last WORD! "These are the words of HIM who is HOLY and TRUE, who holds the KEY of DAVID, What HE opens NO ONE can shut, and what HE shuts NO ONE can open!"
The Bible starts with a marvelous story of Creation. Genesis records the Beginning. It concludes with the creation of a new heaven and earth in Revelation. Those who overcome through Jesus Christ will "stand firm in the end." (evil will not be able to mimic itself as good and continue to deceive many…) We don't know the day or the hour but JESUS is coming soon!!! The Promises of God will be fulfilled! HIS WORD will not return void! In this world where disobedience, mistreatment, persecution, immorality, evil, lying, and deception continue to rise… JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR tells us to endure by FAITH! TRUST HIM! In spite of how things appear, He really does ultimately have it ALL under His control! His message of Love, Repentance and Salvation is extended to all! He is the "Bright and Morning STAR!" HE IS the ALPHA and THE OMEGA THE BEGINNING AND THE END!!! We can ALWAYS have HOPE in the LORD!!! TO GOD Be THE GLORY!
Where Does God Dwell ?
March 16, 2010 by Elder/Minister DeBorrah K. Ogans

GOD Dwells In The Hearts of HIS People!
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. We in America have a freedom that you just don't find in the rest of the world. We have freedom of speech, freedom to vote, freedom to live and go where and when we please. But most importantly we have the freedom to worship. There are many types of worship services but there is only one true God. The only way to worship Him is in Spirit and Truth. On our many journeys throughout the world the LORD has allowed us to see many marvelous things. On them all the presence of the LORD has been apparent.
On our trip to Athens Greece and Istanbul Turkey I was able to see some of the world's most exquisite architecture. Turkey is a country that is 95% Moslem. In Turkey there is the renowned Hagia Sophia Cathedral. It was built for the Christian community to reflect the beauty that Solomon's Temple once beheld. In spite of its elaborate intricate handiwork full of gold mosaic tiles, marble and brick walls, it is now a museum. Lord Help us! It also contains various artifacts derived from Greek mythology and its continence is a shadow of it's once intended purpose. Ironically across from it is the beautifully kept Sultanahmet mosque. Its known as the Blue mosque due to an extravagant array of blue mosaic tiles. Adorned with its intricate splendor and stately statueous marble columns and stained glass windows. It is scrupulously maintained and it is a place of worship for the Moslem community. Turkey is full of ornately designed mosques and Mohammed is whom they worship.
Words cannot express my gratitude to God for the things my eyes have beheld. The scriptures continuously came to my mind as I/we walked through the Hagia Sophia. "God does not dwell in a temple made by hand's" In His time; "God is coming back for a CHURCH without spot or wrinkle." "It is in HIM we live & move and have our being…" Acts 17 "Where the SPIRIT of the LORD is there is liberty…" We can not confine GOD & HIS majestic magnificent omnipresence to the confines of a structure made by human hands no matter how large.
Yes we can worship the Lord within the walls… There is nothing I enjoy more than a Spirt-filled Worship & Praise Service. But GOD'S CHURCH consists of HIS people from ALL over this world. God lives within the hearts of HIS people that have accepted HIS SON JESUS CHRIST into their hearts as SAVIOR & LORD!!! Our bodies are the Temple of the living God. We must ask continuously for the infilling presence of HIS HOLY SPIRIT! There is absolutely no doubt in my mind to the unmerited grace the Lord has bestowed upon all of us. Truly the Lord Is patient, loving & kind.
We had a most interesting journey. The one thing the tour guide who was of Moslem decent (in Turkey along with our guide we were required to have a Turkish guide as well) said that stuck with me was "why would a powerful God allow His Temple to turn into a museum?" I could not help but respond and say; GOD IS AWESOME! HE IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD! "God does not live in a Temple made by the hands of man…" My point is and was God is so gracious and kind that He allows us so much freedom. He even gives us the freedom to choose who or what we want to worship. God wants HIS true worshipers to Worship HIM everyday; "In SPIRIT & in TRUTH!" Whenever or wherever I lift up Holy Hands, to Him and Him only my heart is eternally grateful. It is by His Grace and His Grace alone are we saved. We are not SAVED by our works… God is truly worthy of all the PRAISE! Above GOD is no other. Our GOD IS OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT & OMNIPRESENT!
In Turkey is the city of Ephesus. There are miles and miles of ruins. Original artifacts, columns etc. and remains to testify to the fact Ephesus existed. To this day approximately only 10% of it has been uncovered. It is still currently under excavation. Primitive hand tools are used in order to preserve whatever archeological finds are uncovered. This was such a memorable experience to see and witness. The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Ephesians to the church at Ephesus. Just look at God! Despite the fact Turkey is a Moslem country Ephesus remains a monument to Christians of God's eternal presence, grace and mercy.
Some of my most invigorating spiritual enlightening moments were spent in Athens Greece. Here I hold dear to heart many cherished memories. We together walked up the steep incline to the Acropolis saturated with aged columns made of marble. The Parthenon and majestic ruins were filled with slippery marble laden paths. The highlight was when I observed my husband humbly climb on his hands & knees up "Mars Hill!" The infamous hill that the Apostle Paul speaks about in the book of Acts. How interesting when we approached Mars Hill there was a woman preaching to a congregation out in the open, under the beautiful canopy of the blue skies. Once my husband determined it was safe I too climbed up on my hands and knees to meet him and we together Worshiped, Praised & Thanked the Lord for ALL HE has done, for ALL HE is doing and for ALL HE WILL DO!
The Book of Acts teaches us; "And it will come to pass in the last days saith God I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy." Paul spoke concerning an altar with an inscription representing the unknown god on Mars Hill. That unknown God happens to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob I love, worship and adore. The only true and living God. He is truly the Great "I AM!" The Lord is Jehovah Raah meaning; My Shepherd! Mars Hill today is in a magnificent open place. High above Athens for all to see. (I will forever cherish what it felt like sitting there and praising God for all He has done!!!) I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL! It's walls and canopy are the blue firmament that God Himself spoke into existence through the Living Word. That Word is Jesus Christ wrapped in pure sinless flesh. Who sacrificed His life for the sins of the entire world!!!
It is amazing to see since our visit all the things that have come upon Greece. We all have an absolutely marvelous time. One would never have imagined that such a pleasant, warm, robust inviting place could suffer and experience such a decline. We should never take for granted the freedom we have here in America. Lord Help them… I am thankful that America has been founded upon Christian Principles. I pray that America embraces those principles more and more… May we not take that for granted… Yes please; "God Bless America!"
The gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of God. Glory! Glory! Halllelllujah! HIS TRUTH is marching on!!!
"The earth truly is the Lord's and the fullness thereof the world and them that dwell therein." There is not a place that can be built that can contain the fullness of God's majestic awesomeness. The earth is His mere footstool. The early church had no building they met in homes. We have dedicated our home to be a place where God's way prevails. It is important to keep God as the Center of your marriage, family and life. The heart of each of His Children is where His true Church abides. There is nothing wrong with a church made by hands. But the focal point should not be a hierarchy laden with cliques, clichés, how do we pay our bills programs and solemn auxiliaries; a mere shadow of what God originally intended. It is so very important to know GOD and HIS WORD for yourself. There is only One Worldwide International Christian Church in the eyes of the Lord!
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." We should praise Him in song, WORD and deeds. No, we are not saved by works. But our works do display our faith. We are SAVED by HIS MARVELOUS GRACE! Our main focus should be to cultivate an environment where God receives the preeminence in everything. Whenever or wherever we worship & Praise the Lord we should leave with a desire to want to grow even closer to HIM!
Christianity is supposed to be our daily lifestyle. We as believers can continue to grow in His Grace & Knowledge as we embrace and implement His principles within our lives until the day He calls us home. Then we get to live with Him through Eternity! Halllelllujah Amen!!! It is God's Word and His power that will draw men, women, boys and girls from all cultures, creeds and colors worldwide. His Holy Spirit can and will change their lives when we sincerely spread this Awesome Gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether it be via TV, radio, internet; on Face Book, Instagram, Twitter or in song. As well as in person, taught, proclaimed or preached inclusively by the Spoken Word.
GOD dwells in the hearts & souls of HIS people HIS CHURCH! Thank You Lord! BLESS & PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! "THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!!!"
Everyday we are to live; "TO GOD BE THE GLORY!"
Walking In Integrity
March 16, 2010 by Elder/Minister DeBorrah K. Ogans
Filed under Christian Living, Society & Culture
Do you desire to walk in integrity? Do you desire to be whole? Do you really know that there is absolutely nothing in life that God is not aware of? "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." God in His infinite wisdom knew from the very beginning of time that we would have to endure many situations, trials, sicknesses, grief and yes difficult people. His Word tells us that He knew us before the foundation of the world. God has given us so many examples to remind us daily who He is. You see "The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament display His handiwork!" So why is it that so many elect to walk contrary to His Word?
You see many do not simply understand that God really has provided everything that we need in order to live and properly function in this world. God has given us the Bible that contains 66 books which have been divinely inspired. He sent His Son to purchase with His life; a plan of salvation for us! It is through His plan of salvation we access His overflowing abundance. It is through Him we are given the opportunity to walk in integrity.
Walking in integrity provides you with a sense of wholeness. It gives you an assurance to know when you are walking with the Lord your steps are ordered. This does not mean that bad things will not happen. I assure you they will. But if you are quietly still you will be able to recognize the author of its origin. You will be able to soar above your situation and rest in the arms of an all powerful and mighty God. You see God is awesome and He is mighty in battle.
Life today is very complex. The world is full of people who subscribe to a multiplicity of belief systems. Many simply have no moral or ethical barometer to determine what is right or wrong. Many live in lifestyles entrenched in a multiplicity of addictive behaviors. You also have those who do not really believe in God but they attempt to live life by doing good things. Then you have another group that is just mentally insane! On the other hand you have many who profess to be believers that opt to employ a distorted fragmented partially clad truth system. That is really not truth at all. Then you have those who know without a doubt they are children of God. They realize that they live in the world but they know that they are not of the world. So therefore we have global conflict.
What are you saying? As a child of God you realize that you live in the world. But on a spiritual level you know that you must not conform to its belief system. You withdraw on your Faith account. You beseech God for direction. You do not walk in the counsel of ungodly people. How do I do this? You must learn to walk in integrity. You must pray that the Lord illuminates your understanding to help you see your path forward. You seek solace in the scriptures for further guidance. You accept the truth even when it is painful. You lay aside the weights that so easily make an attempt to hinder you walking in the Light of God's Word. Daniel's life displays an excellent example of integrity. His peers were intimidated by his character. For this they plotted against him. Yet, Daniel remained faithful to Godly principles. God took care of Daniel. Walking in integrity causes one to walk against the grain. You see the Truth is always the pathway to God!
We who are Christians must seek to resolve our earthly challenges in a spiritual way. This does not mean to adopt some fairytale never never land faulty belief system. Neither does it mean I can do anything, say anything or live any way and God will just have to forgive me mentality. After all we are not under the law we are under grace. It means to responsively take personal responsibility for your actions!
There will be consequences for behavior! Don't t use or manipulate others who are weak and are ignorant to God's Way of living in order to get your way! Integrity will help you walk in meekness. Meekness is power under control! The world system is not the system that God wants His children to operate within. The law is for the unlawful. But if you know the truth it does not matter. Many choose evil over what is right! You know that whatever trumped up charges someone tries to infer against you they will simply have no weight. Just remember Daniel! Obedience to God is vitally important for the believer. You must choose to walk in integrity!
Walking in integrity is not an easy task. You see it also means to stand for what is right in the eyes of God. You may have to go some places and be some places you would rather not be; but only for a season. Just know God walks with you wherever you go! But you must be certain you have not crossed your will with His! You abandon the need to manipulate the situation. Integrity does not have to fight its way into anything. Grace which is a by product will sustain you. You instead elect to pray and seek God's guidance. It is through this guidance you can obtain the spiritual, physical and emotional energy to endure. To soar above your circumstances. This will give you the spiritual clarity to operate in spite of! Your faith will assure you God will eventually pull down any strongholds! By faith you know the Holy Spirit will illuminate the darkness that tries to perpetrate a fraudulent simulated light.
It is very difficult to properly relate to someone who lacks integrity. They quite often subscribe to the idea that they can do whatever is necessary to get what they want. They have a very difficult time dealing with anyone who does not agree with them. They often resort to fragmenting the truth to solicit support of those who are partially informed. You do not have to resort to their tactics! Do not be dismayed when they hurl insults. Just know that they are coming from a place of insecurity. A child of God must "walk by faith". This means you have to keep walking in the Light even when you are not sure how things will turn out. But through faith you know God will work it out for your good! That you must focus on Him when those who walked with you at one time walk no more. You see the narrow road to God is not full of travelers. But it is the path that leads you over through and beyond the wide road that leads to destruction. The faith that God has instilled in you as His child will daily illuminate your path. Diligently study His Word! It will give you healthy realistic boundaries. Integrity will assist you. It will provide an invisible shield to insulate you from the claws of the many wolves that adorn sheep clothing!
Whenever you are in doubt of direction seek Godly direction. Often a simple whispered prayer will suffice. Because God really does know where you are, what you have done and better yet what you are going to do. Please do not subscribe to the counsel of the ungodly. Beware of those who talk right and walk left. Who use the grace of God as a license to sin! Who indulge in unspeakable behavior! Who live to satisfy the flesh and have an insatiable desire to star in an imitation spiritual spotlight. You see with God there is absolutely nothing that is hidden! Therefore you realize that there is no need for an audience when you know that you have God's attention 24/7. To much is given much is required! You can then walk humbly in His Light because you know that "Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world"! Know there can be no true peace and contentment where truth is not welcomed. God is the Spirit of TRUTH! But you can share with anyone who asks "This joy that I have the world did not give it to me." Neither can the world take it away! Do you really want to be made whole? Begin today to walk in integrity! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Episode V: About Those Uniforms
The next morning Katherine awoke and put on the glittery orange uniform that Julia had given her to wear. She did not know quite what think of it.
She went to the kitchen to begin her day of preparing meals for the boarding house tenants.
Mihai on the other hand felt rather silly when he put on his uniform which was some sort of clown outfit.
He helped out in the kitchen by serving during the meal service…
After the meals he bussed the tables…
While between times he tended the bar in the lounge area.
Late in the afternoon, as they had their tea on the front porch, Katherine expressed that she rather liked her new job. Mihai responded by declaring his new job to be rubbish.

text: The international real estate company Engel & Völkers with over 600 shops and 10.000 employees spread out all over the world celebrated their 40th birthday in their new headquarter designed by architect Richard Meier by the end of 2018. Christian Völkers one of the founders of this franchise company wanted to create a very elegant and special give away for their clients, supporters, employees, friends and family members. Around 2015 he started talking about printing a book that would tell the success story of the company with all its ups and downs. He gave us almost card blanche. The only thing we had to consider a. "Make each spread a piece of art" and b. "make it another milestone in our brand history". It took us 1,5 years to organize the archive which did not exist, create new images, illustrations and info graphics, come up with a strong typographic solution, grid and layout and use the brands colours which are 70% white, 15% grey (we used a Pantone silver instead), 10% black and 5% red. In the end we produced a book bound in white linen with blind embossing as is the slip case. We integrated 3 gate folds and 3 special selection printed on a glossy paper and shorter pages. 1980 when typewriters were common Mr. Völkers started to write down the entire does and don't of how to work, speak, dress, communicate etc with clients both home owners and wanted to buy or sell their properties. This started to be the codex for everybody working within his company. For us this was a great opportunity to pick up the typewriter fond and integrate it as a "red" thread throughout the book - relating to the very first beginning of the company as a typographic baseline. In addition to this we also integrated the companies own fond 'Newtext' on a summary page at the end of each chapters which shows all facts and figures in info graphics, icons, illustrations, super short captions and silver as a 5th colour. As the company grew we ended the last chapter with a gate fold. After 1,5 years we finally brought almost 400 pages with a total print run of 7.500 copies in two languages to our printer in Munich. During our 5 day stay we took care of an excellent print job done by Peschke Druck. During our several meeting with our client I made a big promise which I was very happy to hold in the end. Next to our coffee table format book with 250 x 350mm, we printed a Jumbo version in Italy. The dimensions are 450 x 630mm. All pages are hand glued and stiched. The print quality is amazing and the crafting to bind a book like this is breath taking.

Exclamation Mark, written and illustrated by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld, is a nominee for the 14-15 South Carolina Picture Book Award.
Exclamation Mark, or !, tells the tale of the most exciting (and often overused) punctuation mark. All ! wanted to do was fit in, but, as the saying goes, "He was born to stand out." He tries everything he can to be like the marks around him, but nothing works.
One day, an encounter with a rather annoying question mark, makes this little exclamation mark snap, and a whole new world opens up to him! He finds his voice, and he learns that it's okay to be different. Being different is what makes him special.
Along with learning a little about punctuation, I think this charming book could be used to teach kids that it's okay to be different. (I tell my students constantly that normal is boring.)
I love the simple illustrations in this book, especially that the background on each page is that lovely, elementary writing paper.
This is definitely a book that I will share with my 1st and 2nd grade students. (My K5 kids may not fully grasp punctuation yet.) In older grades, this book could serve as a way to make punctuation just a little more fun.

The final trailer for Warner Bros. Pictures' Joker is a visual marvel, which also showcases Joaquin Phoenix's unique take on the iconic DC Comics villain. Director and co-writer Todd Phillips is joined by his long-time Hangover trilogy collaborator, Lawrence Sher, who serves as the film's director of photography.
Together, Phillips and Sher have created a stunning new cinematic world for Phoenix's Arthur Fleck to inhabit, one that doesn't resemble any other DC Comics-based movie we've seen before. In the gallery below, we've selected 44 of our favorite cinematic moments from the trailer.
Very little is known about the film's overall story, apart from a brief synopsis from Warner Bros. that describes Joker as an "exploration of Arthur Fleck, a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale."
Filling out Joker's impressive actor roster is Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2), Robert De Niro (Goodfellas), Bill Camp (Red Sparrow), Frances Conroy (American Horror Story), Brett Cullen (Narcos), Glenn Fleshler (Barry), Douglas Hodge (Penny Dreadful), and Marc Maron (GLOW).
Joker is set to release in theaters on October 4, 2019. For more on Joker, find out where Joaquin Phoenix's "Joker laugh" originated from, Joker's theatrical runtime, and why Joker is Rated R.
David Griffin still watches DuckTales in his pajamas with a cereal bowl in hand. He's also the TV Editor for IGN. Say hi on Twitter.

Circular enterprise in the food sector: new wine in old bottles
What potential does the circular economy hold for entrepreneurs in the food sector? Opportunities abound, but there are challenges, too, as was clear from the experiences of the entrepreneurs who recently participated in the ABN AMRO Food Circular Workshop. "It was nice to see they're not daunted, though, and are getting support from other entrepreneurs."
TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, has already done the maths. The circular economy is expected to provide a real boost to the Netherlands in the form of EUR 7 billion and over 50,000 jobs. Not to mention a 10 per cent reduction in carbon emissions, 20 per cent less water used by the industry and a 25 per cent decrease in imported raw materials. The agri and food sector, for its part, will benefit from an inflow of EUR 930 million, plus a 150 kiloton reduction in carbon emissions and a smaller land-use footprint (2,000 sq. km. less).
Many opportunities
Iris van den Akker, who oversees ABN AMRO's Medium-sized Food and Retail Enterprises entity, stresses that all stakeholders in the chain have to work together to ensure the success of the circular economy. "The circular economy won't just happen overnight – we have to grow towards it," she says. "The good news is that there are so many opportunities here in the beginning stages, which is why we're organising the Food Circular Workshop. It offers entrepreneurs a chance to inspire one another, and shows the bank where we can contribute more effectively." And what better place for the workshop than the former Tropicana swimming pool in Rotterdam – a shining example of circular enterprise? Tropicana went bankrupt in 2011, but the pool has been repurposed since 2013 as an urban greenhouse, a restaurant and even a mushroom farm. In 2015, the venue was sold to BlueCity, a group of entrepreneurs whose aim is to create a playground for the circular economy.
Flexible forms of financing
Fifteen food entrepreneurs attended the workshop held at the former swimming pool on 13 December. Among them were Peter Koolen and Jelte van Kammen. Koolen is the director of Elvee, a company trading in chocolate and confectionery, while van Kammen oversees Harvest House, a specialist firm that grows fruiting vegetables for the wholesale and retail markets. Both came to the event to hear how other entrepreneurs engage with the theme and meet the challenges they face. The bank, too, has a role to play, says Koolen – both as a lender and as an influencer. He says, "I hope ABN AMRO will recognise the barriers to the circular economy which we face as entrepreneurs, and can put them higher on the legislative agenda." Van Kammen, for his part, sees added value in flexible forms of financing, a point van den Akker agrees with. "The bank is certainly willing to work to accommodate these entrepreneurs and their needs," she says. "After all, that's in the interests of our own future and investment."
Capitalising on success
Both entrepreneurs have already come a long way on their own. Van Kammen has embraced the circular economy. For example, the tomatoes his company fails to sell because of minor cosmetic imperfections are used to prepare soups and sauces. He says, "I've banded together with a number of other entrepreneurs to form a cooperative. In order to capitalise on our success, we now want to set up a private limited company." Van den Akker says it's the perfect blueprint for how entrepreneurs can get started: "A good first step is to analyse your own value chain and determine where you can make the most impact. Also be sure to figure out where you can work with other players."
Pillar to post
Things aren't always easy, though, admits van Kammen. His own initiative met with resistance after he applied to have his organic crop certified on an artificial bed. "I was passed from pillar to post – the authorities in The Hague said I had to apply to Brussels, and Brussels sent me straight back to The Hague. Two years on, I was still at square one and had no sense of clarity about the project." Van den Akker, too, says she sees the challenges the circular economy poses to the food sector. "Players in this sector are expected to ensure the traceability of their products. Believe it or not, traceability can sometimes make it difficult to recycle residual materials. It's fantastic to see that the entrepreneurs who took part in the workshop aren't daunted by such obstacles and that they're getting support from other entrepreneurs and from their bank."
Fair prices
Koolen says the main ingredient in sustainable enterprise is time: "As an entrepreneur, you can decide you're only going to sell certified chocolate bars, which is what we did. But you have to be sure you'll have customers, too. They may see the need for fair prices, but would obviously prefer not to pay more. Sourcing organic ingredients takes a lot of time, too. I personally don't mind that so much because I truly believe it's my moral duty." For Koolen, the next step is circular enterprise. "There's an important step we can take involving packaging, for instance, but the Warenwet (or Commodities Act) imposes very strict requirements because packaging is in contact with the product. That's why we still mainly use plastic at the moment. During the workshop, I heard other entrepreneurs who are further along than I am talking about how they deal with their waste flows. We've agreed to talk more about this, and I'm excited to benefit from their expertise and experience."

Nowadays, organizational competitiveness depends on its effectiveness, versatility and the ability to respond to customer needs. Thus, companies look for flexibility in human resources as a means of attaining an economic advantage. In fact, the increasing recourse to contingent work may be regarded as more than an economic matter; it can be considered a reflex of an actual social change. Moreover, contingent workers are no longer confined to peripheral activities.
Today, it is common to find temporary and permanent employees working alongside each other in technical jobs. However, what is it that drives these workers and how do their motivations fall in with the success of such new work arrangements? By following the principles of the Self Determination Theory (SDT), the authors' will show that human motivations, in all kinds of workers, are the result of a complex interplay between individuals' autonomy and its internal and external regulation, proving that elevated forms of motivation (i.e., intrinsic motivation and identified regulation), provided by autonomous environments, lead to more adaptive, cognitive and affective outcomes. Additionally, this book will show how it may be possible to transform suboptimal forms of motivation into more self-determined ones.
We will show that minor, repeated events can lead to gradual and internalized behaviors, which allow people to experience more adaptive outcomes and attain higher motivation towards their job. In other words, positive work experiences will be shown as being capable of captivating and engaging individuals, leading them to consider their choices as more voluntary and autonomous. How contingent workers' motivation can change over time may actually be crucial to better comprehend and improve their employment relationship.

PlayStation Network service spreads: UK, Middle East, more
It's not just North America getting some PlayStation Network and Qriocity service this weekend. Sony has taken to Twitter to confirm that phase one of the restoration is now rolling out in the UK, Ireland and the Middle East, as the company brings the reinforced servers back online.
Sony's Next PSN Challenge: Restoring Reputation
After weeks of downtime, governmental scrutiny and untold user fury, Sony has finally begun to restore PlayStation Network and Qriocity streaming media services. It's not been an easy journey, either: it wasn't just server failure that took the PSN offline, but a security breach that saw millions of consumer records snatched out from under Sony's nose. With only the slightest publicly-released information to go on, systems experts have looked on in horror as Sony took a forced deep-dive through server strata, uncovering the flaws – in its data centers and its ego – that allowed the hack to take place. Still, Sony may find that restoring the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services were the easy part – rebuilding its ailing reputation may be far trickier.
Sony started slow with its apologies and its explanations, letting users stew as they waited for the bad news to unfold. While the company insists that it only reached the realization that credit card information had been lost a week or so into the downtime, gamer consensus seems to be that they'd rather have had an earlier – if tentative – warning than feel like the people paying the fees were the last to know.

It's Official: Xbox 360 Is the Best Console of This Generation
In the video game industry, there have always been debates among gamers over which company delivered the best hardware on the market. Years ago, that debate raged on between Sega and Nintendo fans. After Sega was knocked out of the market, the attention shifted to Nintendo and Sony.
Nowadays, we have our work cut out for us. We need to decide which console — the Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3, or Microsoft Xbox 360 — is the best of this generation.
There are some who have supported Nintendo over the years that can point to several reasons their favored company should take that prize. They say that the Wii delivered a new style of gaming and changed the industry forever. Read the rest of this entry
Xperia PLAY game sales have been unimpressive
According to a report by CVG, Android Market downloads of games specifically designed to run on Sony Ericsson's Xperia PLAY handset have been extremely low. As evidence in its case, the report hones in on five Play titles that all have under 1,000 total Market downloads: Cool Boarders 2, 100–500; Destruction Derby, 500–1,000; Jumping Flash, 50–100; MediEvil, 100–500; and Syphon Filter, 100–500. Despite this, the handset's creator is undeterred. "There's no concerns, it's a revolutionary device, it's shaking up the market, we're very pleased with it," said Dominic Heil- Read the rest of this entry
PlayStation Network is back online [Video]
Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation Network is coming back online, with a mandatory system software update (v3.61) for PS3 consoles before they can rejoin the PSN. The phased update has now spread across North American and Europe, though there may be some delay as servers repopulate. Plus, Sony's Kazuo Hirai has shared a video message about the restoration, which you can see after the cut.
The first phase includes sign-in to PSN and Qriocity, online gaming across PS3 and PSP, Netflix and Hulu streaming, chat functionality and PlayStation Home, including other elements. Logging in on your PS3 will present users with a mandatory password change, and there will be limits in future as to which device you can change your password again.
"If using a PS3, your password can only be changed on your own PS3 (or a PS3 on which your PSN account was activated), as an added layer of security. If you have never downloaded any content using your account on the system, an email will be sent to the registered sign-in ID (email address) associated with your account when you first attempt to sign-in to PSN. This e-mail will contain a link that will enable you to change your password. In this email, click on the link and follow the instructions to change your password. Once you have changed your password you can sign-in to your account using your new password"
"We recognize that actions speak louder than words" Hirai admits, going on to detail Sony's changes to the security systems compromised. Users already know they will get free access to identity protection tools.
PlayStation Network And Qriocity Services Questions And Answers
Sony's PlayStation Network breach saga continues, having left customers without PSN service for over a week and now with possibly compromised credit card information. Sony claims the credit card information is encrypted, but that doesn't stop claims that the hackers have gotten to it and already offering it up for sale. There are surely many many questions PSN users have for Sony, and in response they have posted a Q&A list yesterday and one more today.
The questions answered yesterday focused on the security concerns regarding customers' personal information and credit card data. Sony assured that they are working with law enforcement on the matter and insisted that all personal and credit card data was encrypted. However, they did note that although they have no current evidence to suggest that the encrypted credit card information was taken, they also cannot rule out the possibility.
The second batch of questions and answers posted today address some of the less threatening issues such as whether certain game data and history will be lost. On that front, Sony assures that no game trophies will be lost and that they will be re-synced when the network comes back on. Histories and friends lists also will remain intact. Sony is also evaluating a "goodwill gesture" for its PSN users to show its appreciation for their extraordinary patience.
For the full list of questions and answers, you can visit Q&A#1 and Q&A#2.

Sony moving PSN data center in hack response
Sony still refuses to detail the exact exploit used to hack the PlayStation Network and its Qriocitystreaming service, but has admitted that as well as updating the software security of the network, it is physically "moving our network infrastructure and data center to a new, more secure location." The changes are part of a number of steps Sony has been forced to take after reportedly pulling down the PSN after rampant piracy took hold.
According to reports earlier this week, a custom PS3 firmware allowed hackers to unofficially gain access to the PlayStation Network developer channels. There, they were supposedly able to use false – and unchecked – credit card details to make purchases. Sony's only recourse, it was suggested, was shutting down PSN access altogether.
In a new Q&A – which overlaps considerably with Sony's previous FAQ on the subject – Sony's Patrick Seybold, Senior Director for Corporate Communications & Social Media, confirms that the company is working with both law enforcement and "a recognized technology security firm" on what is being viewed as a criminal act. According to Seybold, credit card data was encrypted and users are only being warned about it "out of an abundance of caution"; personal data, however, was not encrypted but was, he insists, "behind a very sophisticated security system."
It's that security system which has been breached, of course, a side-effect of what Sony hacker George Hotz suggests is likely down to "arrogance and misunderstanding of ownership."
"Traditionally the trust boundary for a web service exists between the server and the client. But Sony believes they own the client too, so if they just put a trust boundary between the consumer and the client(can't trust those pesky consumers), everything is good. Since everyone knows the PS3 is unhackable, why waste money adding pointless security between the client and the server? This arrogance undermines a basic security principle, never trust the client … Notice it's only PSN that gave away all your personal data, not Xbox Live when the 360 was hacked, not iTunes when the iPhone was jailbroken, and not GMail when Android was rooted. Because other companies aren't crazy." George Hotz
Sony maintains that certain services will be back online in under a week, though is yet to confirm which those services will be. The company is also facing a class action suit and what experts predict could amount to $24bn in credit card fraud.
PSN breach could cost Sony $24B
The Sony Playstation Network or PSN has been offline for a while now. At first users were irritated that they weren't able to play online games and watch movies via Netflix. As the outage drug on things started to look worse with Sony hinting early on that the breach was believed to have been caused by a third party. Things deteriorated when Sony finally admitted there had been a breach, and it was possible that all the user's account data was stolen including the credit card information.
Sony says at this point it has no indication that user credit card data was stolen. However, Application Security CTO Josh Shaul said, "They [Sony] indicated that they're worried about it, which is probably a very strong indication that everything was stolen." Sony has said that purchase history and credit card details "may" have been stolen but the three-digit security code wasn't. The lack of that three digit code will do very little to protect anyone whose credit card details were stolen.
Forbes reports that if the hacker or hackers responsible for the heist were successful in getting the credit card data this would be one of the biggest known thefts of financial data. Sony is already facing class action suits over the breach, and that is only a fraction of the monetary liability Sony could have in the incident. The Ponemon Institute says that the estimated cost per record of a data breach in 2010 resulting from malicious action was $318 per compromised record. With 77 million user accounts, exposed Sony is looking at $24 billion in possible expenses.

Sony pulled PlayStation Network over rampant piracy?
A new explanation for the ongoing Sony PlayStation Network downtime has been suggested, with claims that Sony has taken the service offline so as to close a loophole that had been responsible for "extreme piracy of PSN content." PSX-Scene's "Chesh" took to Reddit to outline how a new PlayStation 3 custom firmware called Rebug was used by hackers to gain access to the PSN's developer networks. From there, it was possible to input fake credit card information and buy content without ever paying for it.
The security glitch, it's suggested, is because Sony was not validating credit card information since the users were on its trusted private developer network. Sony allegedly responded by pulling the plug on the network completely; the "additional security" Sony representatives have admitted is being installed is apparently to combat this sort of hacking.
Chesh admits that the explanation is speculation pieced together from information throughout the PlayStation hacking community, however sources with access to the SCE devnet servers have apparently confirmed that Sony is telling developers that, moving forward, only 3.60+ debug firmware will be allowed onto the network. If developers want to retain their access then they not only need to upgrade, it's claimed, but contact Sony too.
Rebug's developers are not responsible for the credit card hack, though whether Sony will look kindly on them anyway remains to be seen. However, user credit card information is believed to be secure still.

Geohot Attacks Sony ! PSN Has Been Down for Days !
For those who who don't live for Call of Duty: Black Ops, or other popular PS3 titles, you may not have noticed how much trouble Sony has been having lately. Their free online service, PSN (Playstation Network) has been down since late Wednesday night.
We're not talking about a a minor inconvenience here, we're talking about millions of people being blocked from Sony's version of Xbox live for 4 days now. Netflix, Hulu, and several major online games are feeling the effects of Sony's crippled network…
It certainly looks like the Sony v.s. GeoHot saga isn't quite over. You might recall the hacking group, known as Anonymous, making threats against Sony and their network in wake of the GeoHot litigation.
Sony sure seems to think it's them, or at least some sort of outside attack that's crippling their servers:
"An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. in order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertatinment services to our customers and partners i our utmost priority."
The group of electronic activists are well known for fighting for freedom and privacy via security breaches. Their major beef with Sony seems to be that the company requested social media sites like YouTube and Facebook to hand over IP addresses of people who viewed GeoHot's social pages.
While Anonymous has admitted to previous attacks on Sony's servers, they are claiming innocent on this one. They posted this message on their blog yesterday:
"While it could be the case that other Anons have acted by themselves, AnonOps was not related to this incident and does not take responsibility for whatever has happened. A more likely explanation is that Sony is taking advantage of Anonymous' ill-will towards the company to distract users from the fact that the outage is actually an internal problem."
In past Sony attacks, Anonymous has been careful not to bring down PSN servers that hosted multiplayer games to avoid effecting the gaming community.
Regardless of who's behind the shutdown, the news still made me smile. Even though I'm an avid Call of Duty fan, it's nice to think that a major corporation may not always be able to hide behind their stacks of money. Some might call these activists a bit too extreme, I say it's kind of nice to have such a powerful group on the side of freedom. Who knows, we may need their help fighting for the right to jailbreak some day.

Blood analytes, as liquid biopsies, are discussed to be surrogate markers for therapy stratification, as serial sampling enabled by the minimal invasive nature of blood draw facilitates monitoring of clonal evolution. Mutational analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma of breast cancer (BC) patients (pts) may predict the ideal therapy strategy. In this regard, PIK3CA mutations in BC pts' cfDNA were already shown to correlate with treatment response. However, in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows, used for cfDNA analysis, artifacts are often induced during library construction. Here we used unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) to verify true positive PIK3CA mutations in cfDNA of BC pts.
Patients and methods:
cfDNA was isolated from 54 plasma samples of 38 BC patients by affinity-based binding to magnetic beads (QIAamp MinElute ccfDNA Kit, QIAGEN, Germany). 30–60 ng cfDNA was used for library construction with the QIAseq Targeted DNA Panel for Illumina (QIAGEN, Germany) with integrated UMIs. Sequencing was executed on the NextSeq 500 platform (Illumina, US). Data analysis was performed by QIAseq Targeted Sequencing Data Analysis Portal and the Biomedical Genomics Workbench. As a reference, the PIK3CA mutational status of matched tumor tissue DNA (analyzed by Sanger sequencing) was consulted.
Library preparation was successful (yield >15 ng) in 52/54 cases. Mean coverage was ~20,000x (mean UMI coverage ~2,500x) and >10,000x in 48/52 cases. The minimal allele frequency found for PIK3CA hotspot mutations (P539S, E545K, H1047R) by UMI analysis was 0.72%. In total, 133 mutations of the PIK3CA gene were identified as true positive mutations by UMI analysis in all 52 samples, which is a reduction of 69% (294/427) of all PIK3CA mutations incorrectly called by conventional data analysis. 59% of all different PIK3CA mutations called by UMI analysis appeared in over 5% of all pts. In the cohort of pts with PIK3CA hotspot mutant tumor tissue, 32% (6/19) showed the mentioned mutations also in matched cfDNA, whereas 16% of pts (3/19) without PIK3CA mutant tumor tissue were identified with true positive PIK3CA hotspot mutations in their plasma. Longitudinal analysis across two years during therapy revealed the increase in allele frequency (0%;11%;39%) of the PIK3CA H1047R mutation in one pt, whereas another pt showed a stable allele frequency of the PIK3CA P539S mutation (52%; 51%; 48%). Results will be expanded by consideration of mutations in BC hotspot genes despite PIK3CA and correlation to clinical parameter.
Unique molecular identifiers enable the identification of true positive mutations in cfDNA and can thus, be used in clinical practice to determine molecular drivers of individual cancer progression and to employ personalized therapy.

So can their RX100M6 point and shoot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
