Enterprise telehealth company SnapMD has released an updated version of its Virtual Care mobile app for iOS and Android mobile devices that, among other things, offers clients new tools to better embed the service within their own digital ecosystem.
Launched today, the white-label app comes with an SDK and APIs that allow provider clients to either customize their own branded telehealth mobile app, or integrate the company's telehealth services into their own existing product.
"What we've been able to do with the new mobile app is leverage the operating system on which our entire platform and system have been built," SnapMD CEO Dave Skibinski told MobiHealthNews. "So because of our Virtual Care Management operating system and our services layer and our API layer, we now extended with our SDKs the ability for our customer to consume our services within our app. So, if they literally are building out their own digital health app and they want to offer our exam room within that app, our intake process within that app, our scheduling within that app, we have the APIs and SDKs to enable that."
Along with ensuring that their full app-based platform would be accessible to patients regardless of device, the company also rolled out a number of features that allow health organizations to collect the specific information they need without adding unnecessary burden to the user's experience.
Chief among these, Skibinski expained, is a tool for building customizable intake forms, a more flexible video interface for virtual visits, in-app navigation tools reflecting those available within the iOS and Android operating systems, appointment scheduling tools that integrate with the provider's system via an API, and text chat functionality that can provide the user with updates while they're being examined or while they're still in the virtual waiting room.
"The primary use of the mobile app will be the patient experience, and it is our position that we have to meet the standards and experience that the consumer experiences in the remainder of their digital life," he said. "For the consumer experience, you need to offer the highest level of video experience … [because] your first one or two uses will determine if that patient continues to use that application."
While each new digital tool has the capacity to improve the delivery of care, bombarding patients with a motley assortment of disparate apps and services can overwhelm and ultimately damage the patient experience. White-labelled, customizable platforms like SnapMD's allow providers to better integrate their digital offerings within a single ecosystem, an approach that Skibinski stressed as more intuitive for systems and patients alike.
"As you move further into the enterprise area of the telemedicine market, not surprisingly the providers of care are adopting a variety of digital health technologies, and they now want to create a more fluid and compatible environment for the use of those technologies for the patients they serve," Skibinski said. "That is the benefit of the SDKs: to create a unified digital experience in digital health for our customers. And we fully enable that now."
SnapMD closed a $7.1 million funding round last fall that the company said would assist marketing and business development efforts. The virtual care company also closed deals within the past year or so to provide its platform to the American Academy of Pediatrics' Member Advantage Program, as well as to a unique telehealth class run by the University of San Diego Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science about telehealth.
Telehealth interest and adoption is generally increasing among providers, although research on the modality's comparative efficacy, appropriate regulation and physician uptake is ongoing and mixed.
"The best approach to reach the next phase of our mobile experience offering was to take everything we've learned from the market over the last six years, redesign the patient experience in total and invest in a completely new code base," SnapMD COO and cofounder George Tierney told MobiHealthNews in an email statement.
"We've included new features that have been released to the web app such as our next-gen custom intake forms, the ability to offer and manage all visit types such as video, text chat, phone and in-office, and an upgraded digital exam room. The SnapMD team went further in our ability to be flexible for client needs by adding a robust SDK that allows clients and partners to build their own app experience and embed our patient intake workflow all the way through to the virtual visit in their own app. And, of course, we still offer all the things our clients loved from the previous version such as the fully white-labeled offering."

Phono Stages
Tom Evans Audio Design phono stages include:
- The Microgroove ($1,050) uses high grade silicon. The signal path is DC coupled. Built as a steereo amp powered by by standard industry voltage regulators. Like all Tom Evans phono stages, Microgroove can be configured to suit any moving coil or moving magnet cartridge. Great entry level phono stage upgradable to The Plus.
- The Microgroove x ($1,192).
- The Microgroove plus ($2,100) is a stereo phono-amp that has one of Tom Evans' Lithos 7 Class A regulators in place of the standard industry regulators. This improves the sound significantly, lowers the hoise floor, faster risting and falling edges of notes highlighting the spaces between them. John Cage would have had a hay day.
- The Groove ($4,000). This dual mono phono-amp uses one Lithos 7 regulator per side to supply power to each mono signal path p.c.b. All resistors are Holco precision metal film. All silicon is premium grade. The regulators are powered by a dual mono mains power supply. Since its launch in the UK, it has become the industry standard. The Groove can be upgraded to the Plus spec.
- The Groove x ($4,725).
- The Groove plus ($7,600). In this design the mains pcb has been replaced by the Lithos 6, a complex class A regulator (as used in the pulse power supply). Its outputs then feed the dual mono Lithos 7's on the signal pcb's. The external mains supply box contains a 70 watt transformer designed and manufactured in house. This transformer has an electrostatic screen to remove any R.F. noise, then rectified, smoothed, and regulated before leaving the box and heading for Lithos 6. The ultra low noise and distortion of this product provide audiophiles with the greatest possible dynamic range and resolution available.
- The Groove+ SRX ($8,900) has adjustable load and gain. The Groove+ SRX,in addition to the loading pcb has a front end gain stage that has 50% less noise and distortion than the Groove and Groove+.
- Upgrade of Microgroove to Groove Plus ($4,600).

While meetings are essential for collaboration and alignment within an organization, no one has time for a meeting in which nothing is accomplished. According to research, there are 25 million meetings per day in the U.S. Additionally, middle managers spend about 35% of their time in meetings, while upper management spends up to 55% of their time in meetings.[i] To drive the point home, unproductive meetings can waste up to $37 billion per year. For this reason, it's crucial that meetings are effective and productive.
Here are the top three ways to ensure meeting effectiveness:
Create an Agenda and Set the Intention
One of the most important components of an effective and productive meeting is making sure that everyone comes prepared. In order for attendees to prepare for the meeting, they must know what will be discussed. Prior to the meeting, send out an agenda with the main topics that will be touched upon in the meeting.[ii] This can be as simple as a few bullet points highlighting key areas. Also, be sure to send the agenda giving attendees enough time to prepare for their participation in the meeting. Attendees who are able to prepare are more likely to be active in sharing their ideas in the meeting. At the opening of the meeting, make sure to share the intention or the end goal of the meeting. It is important for attendees to know what the meeting is hoping to accomplish.
Stay on Task and Watch the Clock
The number one way to negatively impact the effectiveness of the meeting is not staying on task. This tip goes hand-in-hand with setting an agenda for the meeting. If a meeting is scheduled to discuss a given task, you should not spend that time discussing your topic for a meeting later that afternoon or next week. Stay focused and use the time to discuss the meeting's designated topic. Additionally, be sure to watch the clock during meetings.[iii] It can be helpful to assign each attendee an allotted time to speak to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to share their thoughts. Be sure to stay within the time constraints of the scheduled meeting, or if necessary schedule another meeting.
Set Actionable Goals for After the Meeting
The effectiveness of a meeting is not over at the end of the scheduled hour. The effectiveness of a meeting shows in the results that come after a meeting. At the end of the meeting or throughout the meeting, be sure to plan what will be done after the meeting. Your discussion in a meeting holds no value if you do not take action afterward. Set goals for each attendee so they are well aware of what is expected of them following the meeting.
While meetings may take up much of our time, if we use the time wisely, meetings can lead to great action. Visit our Learning Strategy page to see how to make your meetings become more effective.

You may make an 'en bloc' (or 'block') payment to provide a benefit to your employees. This benefit may be for all employees or only for a group of your employees. This is a taxable benefit in kind.
When calculating the tax, you should divide the payment equally between the employees who benefit from the payment. You should not charge an employee who does not wish to receive the benefit.

SCADA System
When you work in such fields as the oil and gas industry or the utilities industry, there's a significant chance that you will encounter a SCADA system while on the job. These systems are essential for the monitoring and control of various pieces of equipment that are designed to handle time-sensitive and critical events. While there are many different types of SCADA software, each type comes with similar features. Whether you own an industrial company or are a key manager at one, you'll likely want to know more about SCADA systems and how they work. While this software is designed to run in the background, there are times when a problem could develop with the software, which is why it's important to understand what SCADA is and how it works.
What Does a SCADA System Refer To?
SCADA stands for supervisory control and data acquisition, which is a type of computer system that is meant to gather and quickly analyze real-time data. These systems are commonly used within production facilities and industrial plants. When put in use, a SCADA system is designed to help with the control and monitoring of an entire plant or equipment that deals specifically with time-sensitive and critical events. For instance, when a leak occurs in a pipeline, the SCADA system that's in place will help to detect the leak and transfer the information pertaining to the leak back to a central location.
While it's possible for this software to be simplistic, there are also many scenarios that require a complex SCADA system. An example of a simple SCADA system is when it's being used to monitor the general conditions inside of a small office building. On the other hand, more complex systems are required for real-time monitoring of a municipal water system or nuclear power plant. While this type of software was initially used in the 1960's, it has since become an essential component in nearly all production facilities and industrial plants.
There are many things that can be done with SCADA depending on the exact needs of the company using the system. This system provides organizations with the ability to control various processes locally or in a remote location. Real-time data can be gathered, monitored, and processed in an instant when using this software. The HMI (human-machine interface) software also allows employees or managers within the organization to directly interact with a wide variety of devices, which include valves, sensors, motors, and pumps. Any event that occurs can be recording by the system into a log file, which can be addressed immediately.
Primary Applications of SCADA Systems
SCADA is used in many different applications, most of which are specific to the type of business that's using the system. When it comes to the oil and gas industry, the main applications that they use SCADA for include the monitoring and control of pipelines, the remote monitoring and control of pumping, storage, and production locations, the monitoring of offshore platforms, and the control of refineries. When looking specifically at utilities, the businesses in this industry typically use SCADA to control the distribution of electrical power from coal, nuclear, and gas-fired sources. These systems can also be used for the transmission of electrical power.
For water and wastewater plants, SCADA is typically utilized for the monitoring and control of water treatment centers and wastewater collection and treatment facilities. Some of the other industries that this software is commonly used in include agriculture and irrigation, transportation, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, and manufacturing. While these systems are able to maintain equipment efficiency and process data for quicker and smarter decisions, a key benefit of this software is that the real-time communication of system issues helps to significantly reduce downtime.
How SCADA Works
The standard architecture for a SCADA system starts with PLCs or RTUs, which stand for programmable logic controllers and remote terminal units respectively. These are both considered to be microcomputers that are designed to interact and communicate with many different objects, which extend to sensors, HMIs, factory machines, and end devices. These communications and pieces of information are then routed from the objects in question to the computers that have been outfitted with SCADA software.
Once the SCADA software receives the information, the data is then processed, distributed, and displayed, which allows employees and operators to analyze this data and make decisions from it. One example of how SCADA works involves an oil pipeline that has a leak. Once the leaks occurs, SCADA will detect the exact location of the leak and then transfer this data back to a central location, which helps to alert employees about the leak. This data will also be analyzed by the system. For instance, SCADA will be able to determine if the leak is critical, which could require additional measures to be taken by any nearby staff. The information will then be displayed in a manner that's organized and logical, which allows employees to read and interpret the information immediately. Being able to read this information quickly is essential for operators to make rapid decisions.
Another example of how SCADA works involves the manufacture of a certain product. An operator may be notified by the SCADA system that a specific batch of the product is displaying a high number of errors, which could lead to significant problems if the product is placed on the market before the errors have been corrected. With this notification, the operator can pause the operation momentarily while they take a look at the data received by the SCADA system through an HMI. This data allows the operator to determine what's causing the problem. Once the problem has been identified, a correction can be made and future losses can be prevented. A standard SCADA system includes sensors or manual inputs that feed data to the PLC or RTU in the system. This data can then be sent to an operational terminal via an HMI or a workstation.
Costs Associated With SCADA Systems
The costs for a SCADA system depend mainly on how complex the system is. If the SCADA software that you need to purchase is designed for a small office setting, the costs will be low. However, if the SCADA software is going to be installed for the monitoring of a municipal water plant, the costs will be much higher. SCADA pricing also depends on the company that you purchase from, the bundle that you select, and the features that you want your software to have. Some companies offer custom solutions that are available for as low as $1,500-$2,000. Basic packages tend to cost upwards of $8,000-$10,000 and come with such features as alarm notification, the ability to store tag histories, and unlimited SQL access.
Some companies will offer additional packages and bundles that can range from $15,000-$40,000. The mid-tier package might include an extra layer of business analytics and data management, while the top-tier package could be outfitted with SMS functionality, voice notification, and sequential function charts. The package that's right for you and your business largely depends on the needs of your company. Many businesses will also offer individual modules with their SCADA software that allows you to only purchase the features that you require. For instance, you might be able to obtain unlimited HMI visualization clients for around $5,000-$7,000 or a reporting module for a few thousand. The best SCADA providers will offer packages that bundle software features as well as individual modules, which means that even smaller companies would be able to afford the software.
Problems You Might Encounter With SCADA
Even the best SCADA systems can malfunction from time to time. The system may even appear to be working correctly during diagnostics only to malfunction at a later date, which can be problematic when you need to make sure that your office building or industrial plant is operating smoothly. One of the more common problems that you might encounter with SCADA involves a direct connection from external enterprise systems to SCADA. These systems are designed first and foremost to be data collection and visualization tools, which means that additional functionalities aren't always readily supported.
While most SCADA software comes with quality storage systems, most are incapable of supporting hundreds or even thousands of external connections to the system from third parties. The performance of your SCADA system can quickly deteriorate if substantial amounts of data are being taken from SCADA storage systems. The better method for warehousing this data is to store the data directly in a process historian, which is isolated from the rest of the SCADA system and allows for a more controlled data stream. Other problems with the SCADA system might involve an application redundancy when you purchase individual modules, poor engineering, and an incorrect application or protocol stack, the latter of which primarily occurs when the SCADA software you own supports the "Sequence of Events" feature.
How to Secure SCADA Systems
Like all types of software, the security of your SCADA system can be breached if it's not strong enough to account for various cyber threats. Most of this software has been designed to bolster efficiency, which means that the security of the software is usually weak. In the event that your security isn't strong enough, your system will be open to such vulnerabilities as process redirection, disruption of service, or the manipulation of data. No matter the size of your SCADA network, it's important that you increase the security of the system in question.
You should begin by identifying every connection to your SCADA network. Once you've identified these connections, a risk analysis should be performed to determine how necessary each connection is. Any connections that aren't deemed necessary should be disconnected. The connections that you should check include dial-up connections, internet connections, wide area or local networks, connections to vendors and business partners, and wireless network devices. You can also evaluate how secure each connection is by conducting a vulnerability analysis for all remaining networks. For the less secure networks, it's recommended that you implement intrusion detection systems and firewalls at each point of entry.
There are some older systems that don't have any actual security features, which is dangerous if you want to keep your network secure. Even if you have an older system, you must request to your SCADA vendor that they provide you with security features via upgrades and patches. Even in modern systems, it's common for the factory default security settings to be set for maximum usability, which means that security is low. You should change these settings to provide you with the maximum amount of security instead.
Some additional steps you should take to bolster security include establishing a team that can identify and evaluate potential attacks and system vulnerabilities, performing regular technical audits to highlight security concerns, and establishing incident monitoring that's up and running 24/7. Your system administrators, managers, and other users of the SCADA system should all understand their roles and responsibilities for keeping the system secure. If ever a cyber attack occurs, system backups and recovery plans should be in place to allow for rapid recovery. By enhancing the strength of your system security and building a strong cyber security team, you should be able to mitigate the inherent risks that come with using a SCADA system.
Features of Modern SCADA Systems
SCADA systems have gone through many technological advancements in recent years, which has allowed for the introduction of some highly beneficial features and components. For instance, modern systems allow for real-time data to be accessed from any remote location in the world, which makes for better decision-making. Most of these systems are also equipped with rapid application development capabilities, which provides users with the ability to design applications with relative ease. The usage of modern IT standards has bolstered the security, reliability, efficiency, and productivity of most SCADA systems. The availability of wireless equipment for these systems has also helped to reduce costs and enhance reliability.
How SCADA Can Help Businesses
In essence, SCADA systems help with efficiency of various operations through the use of automation. With one of these systems installed, your business would be able to study the results of measured conditions and create an optimal response to these conditions, which could then be executed automatically whenever these conditions occur in the future. For example, if ever a critical leak is detected, the system could immediately close a nearby valve to get rid of the hazardous conditions.
When a business leaves their employees or managers to monitor equipment and the processes that occur with this equipment, human error is always a possibility. Using SCADA eliminates these human errors. This software also automates the routine and commonplace tasks that would otherwise take up far too much time when performed by an employee, which increases productivity. The presence of these systems allows for better management of critical failures with machines in real-time, which means that the successful recovery from a critical failure is more likely.
When an employee or operator is left to handle a case of equipment failure on their own, the stresses that come with making split-second decisions could lead to one or more mistakes being made, which could prove to be very costly. These systems are practically essential for any large business or industrial plants. Because of how large oil refineries and wastewater collection facilities are, using a SCADA system to monitor and control the equipment may be the only way to reduce costs and maintain profitability. Larger work sites require more manpower to handle such tasks, which is why it's better to automate these tasks.

"Since I began working with you, I have lost about 15 lbs, fit into all of my old clothes with room to spare, and I completed my first seven day cleanse ever. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for you, your program, insight, knowledge and treatment. Thank you!"
"It has taken a long time to put these pounds on, and with Sheri's help I am learning how to take them off the smart, healthy, sustainable way."
"I am in a completely different place than I was when I started with Sheri. Throughout the past six months, I have dropped five pounds, reduced my cholesterol by 40 points, and dramatically improved both my physical and emotional state. It is obvious Sheri's clients are more than clients to her. With her help, I learned how to finally improve my health in a smart, sustainable way."
"I have to tell you that I went bathing suite shopping yesterday and everything fit!"
"Since I started this program, I never feel bloated. I finally feel comfortable and happy in my clothes, and our sessions together give me the motivation to keep feeling that way."
"I have just started to work with Sheri, and I can attest that she offers truly unique handouts and ideas along with enthusiasm. Over the years, I've read numerous tips for attaining better health but she has already meted out new, valuable nuggets."
"Committing to this program was just that: a commitment that I felt responsible for. I felt that if I didn't commit to the things we discussed, I would be letting both of us down. And I like that, because it helped me create goals that I had to work hard to attain. And every time I reached a small goal over the past six months, I felt really good about myself. I am positive that with Sheri's program I would be in a terrible physical and emotional state right now."
"Without Sheri's help, my total cholesterol wouldn't have dropped so much in one year!"
"Now, instead of counting calories, I think to myself 'how will this food nourish me'? It's made a huge difference and is finally giving me freedom from worrying about food."
"As I am getting older, I realize that taking better control of my health is more difficult and really requires much more attention than I had been giving my body and mind. Now, with Sheri's help, I am better prepared to focus on giving myself the attention I need to get my health under control, and I now have the tools I need to do that. I am determined to maintain the progress I have made!"
"This is better than a diet."
"Sheri is a wonderful teacher, and her enthusiasm is infectious."
"It is obvious Sheri is very knowledgeable about healthy eating and has a great group of followers. I would never hesitate to have Sheri back to speak to a group about healthy living." – Chef Georges Perrier, Le Bec Fin
"Sheri Oppenheimer was an excellent keynote speaker for our Philadelphia International Special Events Society monthly meeting. Sheri provided us with great tips for healthy living and did so in a very entertaining and interactive manner. We learned things not only for ourselves but to add value for our customers. I would recommend Sheri to any group looking for a speaker." – Bob Mills, Director of Programs and Education, Philadelphia ISES
"Thank you so much for taking the time to spend with me yesterday at Wegman's. I learned so much about healthy food choices and had a great time as well. You are an amazing teacher!"
"I enjoyed learning more about health and what I can do to be healthier in my everyday life. I also enjoyed asking health questions I was curious about, and see how I can improve my energy and feel better all around by learning more."

Product Design Lead
San Francisco, CA, USA
About Mutiny:
For decades traditional B2B companies have relied on sales to personalize their pitch for each customer. As customer interactions have shifted online, over 99% of B2B customers today never talk to sales. Yet virtually every website displays the same generic content to all people. We are creating a new product category to help companies personalize their online buying experience for each customer. Our starting point is helping SaaS companies personalize their website. Our ambition is to ultimately help every company in the world personalize their entire buying experience from website to ads to emails.
Our founders are early Gusto employees and scaled the company from 500 to 50,000 customers. They experienced firsthand the limitations of generic online content and the poor user experience it creates. They started Mutiny to transform the B2B buying experience for everyone in the world.
We are backed by some of the best seed investors in the valley including Y Combinator, growth and engineering leaders from Slack, Google, Facebook, Square, Yelp and Salesforce, and Cowboy Ventures and Uncork Capital (backers of Postmates, Intercom, Sendgrid and Eventbrite).
What we stand for:
We believe that diverse teams have the biggest impact. Our founding team is 50% female and 50% male. We have maintained this same diversity ratio in our investors and are committed to maintaining diversity of gender, ethnicity and thinking in our team as we scale.
In addition to diversity, these values define how we approach our work every single day:
Work should feel like play
Faster always wins
Do the right thing when no one's watching
But enough about us, let's talk about you and what you'd be doing at Mutiny.
The role, in a nutshell:
We are looking for an exceptional product designer to join our team. Audience-based optimization is a new category and therefore most customers don't intuitively know how to get started. Your challenge is to guide a customer who currently has a generic web experience to quickly understand their web audience and launch personalized experiences that outperform generic content. As the first designer, you will have tremendous autonomy and execution leadership. This role is particularly suited for a senior product designer who likes to think holistically about brands and user experience across marketing and product.
What you'll do at Mutiny:
Work closely with beta customers to understand their workflows and all the friction points in their journey of implementing personalization -- from creating their first personalized experience to surfacing insights that can help them iterate and create new personalized experiences.
Effectively integrate data into the user experience to inform customer actions in the product.
Design and continuously optimize the user experience through in-person and online user testing.
Own the most important metric in the business: time it takes a new user to launch their first successful personalized experience.
Influence the entire Mutiny brand. As you can tell by the name, we plan to stand out with a bold and inspiring brand. You will partner closely with the CEO to define and materialize that brand in our product and website experience.
What we are looking for:
5+ years of product design experience, ideally at companies that have successfully created a new product category.
Proven ability to design intuitive product experiences from scratch and iterate with qualitative and quantitative user testing.
Fluency in HTML and CSS. Huge plus for experience with JavaScript and client-side frameworks (React in particular).
Be the voice for extraordinary design and champion design thinking efforts across all areas of the company
Genuine empathy for growth marketers and a passion for helping companies grow.
An exceptionally high performance bar for oneself and everyone on the team. Unafraid to communicate what's working and what needs to change.
Someone who is energized by ambiguity and can create structure in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
A kind human who wants to build an extraordinary product, culture and brand.

<– Return to Foundations of the Way article
Necessary – Un-created – Supernatural – Transcendent
This first set of attributes are the most basic attributes of God. These speak of the core relationship of God to creation. Unlike everything in creation God is not created. He is the source he is the first and only source of all things. He is necessary in the sense that when you trace the source of everything back you must logically land at a first source. And that source must not have a source or you have not gone all the way back in the chain of causes.
Supernatural and transcendent puts God beyond this physical creation. To be God is to be greater than. Greater than his creation certainly, but also just simply greater than. No matter what you put after "greater than…" , God is greater than… remains true. Unless you try something irrational like God is greater than God or some such nonsense. But this is a serious conversation.
God is greater than… is actually another way of describing what some philosophers describe as a "maximally great being". A being that simply can not be made greater than it already is. There is nothing that can be added. God is simply greater than all.
Transcendent also speaks of God's presence everywhere inside and outside of creation. If this were not true, God would not be maximally great since a being that was present everywhere inside and outside of creation would be greater. So God by definition needs to be transcendent. There can be no one and nothing greater than God.
Since God is greater than creation God can not be dependent on creation. God created this entire reality including time itself, therefore, He must be greater than time. If time were greater than God then time would be God which of course is silly. Time does not have all the great-making properties required for it to be considered maximally great. Therefore God is eternal which does not simply mean that God is very old. It means that there was never a time when God was not. Though our language can not really describe this timeless properly, God existed "before" time and will exist "after" time. Though before and after are both temporal terms, the point is simple, God is greater than time. He is the cause of this temporal universe, not dependent on it.
All-Knowing and All-powerful
These attributes are also inseparable from the the concept of God as the maximally great being. If there was a being with more knowledge or power, then that being would be God. But there is not – God is God.
Personal – Reasonable – Knowable
God is a person. (in fact, he is three persons in one essence-see below) God is
He is also reasonable, God is not a "force" nor some kind of "energy". He is not a machine, He thinks and reasons. From
Because he is a person that is reasonable and has created us as persons that are reasonable. We can know Him. On a personal level, we can interact and know the one that created us as persons, gave us our reason, and our ability to interact with other personal beings. We can not know Him comprehensively but we can know him personally. We could never fully comprehend God any more than you can catch the ocean in a thimble. But that which that thimble contains really is the ocean. It is not soil or air. We can know God truly like a child knows a parent, but as a child with their parent, the knowledge is true knowledge – just not complete knowledge.
No God small enough to fit in my head – is big enough to worship.
Triunity – 3 persons but 1 essence
This topic is worthy of an entire book in its own right. However, for the sake of this article, I will be brief. There is much written on this elsewhere for those of you who wish to pursue this topic farther. This link points to an excellent video series available to begin your journey.
For the sake of this discussion, however, I will simply state what the Trinity is so that those who wish to follow God can begin with some understanding of His triune nature. The New Testament scriptures clearly describe three distinct persons when they speak of God. The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. These are referred to as separate persons yet as one God. Personal pronouns are applied to each. Jesus, in particular, describes both the Father and the Holy Spirit as distinct persons that are other than himself while speaking of himself as being one with the Father. He also said that if you have seen him you have seen the Father.
There can be only one God so the language of the Trinity has been refined over the years to facilitate our talking about God without diminishing any of His known attributes. God is 3 persons in 1 essence. All three are truly divine, they are all one, but at the same time distinct persons. They are all eternal. They all have all the attributes of God. There is one God. Jesus is the fountain from which we draw this understanding, he is completely unique. In Jesus, we see the fully divine eternal Son of God and also a fully human being. The eternal Son became a man, the man Jesus of Nazareth. I will discuss this more in the upcoming article on the "incarnation".
Final thoughts on God as creator
There are two questions that are often asked once it is understood that God is the creator of all. The first is a question based on a misunderstanding, "Then who created God?". God by definition is un-created, God is the first cause, a necessary being. He is not contingent on anything else. No one sensible believes in created gods. A created god is by necessity less than its creator if we create a "god" it is by definition less than us. Therefore a totally useless god.
The second question is more difficult, "Did God create evil?". The first response to this is no, because evil is not really a thing. Much like dark is the absence of light or cold is the absence of heat. Evil is not a thing it is the lack of a thing. That thing being goodness. In the case of moral evil this lack was not caused by God it was the result of created beings exercising their God-given ability to choose good, to choose love. God gave us the ability to choose so that we could truly love. Love can not be compelled, it must be freely chosen and given to be actual love.
But that ability to choose love also gave us the ability to choose not to love. To choose evil. Thus evil is a lack of goodness and love. But not a creation of God, it is the result of our(along with certain beings in the spiritual realms) choice to not love and do evil.
In order to follow the way of life therefore, since God is the source of life, r
Thankfully, Jesus has done what we could never do. His death and resurrection opened a door that we can now all walk through. The door to life eternal in Him. All we need to do is to turn around and walk through it. This will become more clear as we continue on in this series.
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.Rev 22:17
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."Matt 11:28-30

Matthew Reed, Chief Executive of The Children's Society said:
'This welcome report sends yet another strong signal to the government that much more needs to be done to help hard working families who are struggling on low incomes.
'We know from our work with families up and down the country, that they are being forced to make harsh choices between heating their home and putting food on the table for their children. Rocketing fuel and food prices are outstripping pay as the minimum wage hits its lowest point for a decade this month.
'It is vital the government does more to make work pay and follows the Commission's call to improve minimum wages and increase child care support for the most disadvantaged families.'

Notes to editors:
- 3.6 million children in the UK are living in poverty
- Six in 10 children living in poverty are in low-income working families.
- The government has admitted that its welfare benefits up-rating cap will push 200,000 children into poverty – including 100,000 children in working families.
- The value of the National Minimum Wage has fallen by 50p since 2010. The Children's Society analysis shows that the minimum wage is now at its lowest value in the last decade.
- The government has announced additional support for families with children on Universal Credit from 2016 – taking childcare support from 70% to 85% of childcare costs. However, the poorest working families – those with one or more parents earning less than the personal allowance threshold for income tax, will miss out on this extra help.
- The Children's Society wants to create a society where children and young people are valued, respected and happy. We are committed to helping vulnerable and disadvantaged young people, including children in care and young runaways. We give a voice to disabled children, help young refugees to rebuild their lives and provide relief for young carers. Through our campaigns and research, we seek to influence policy and perceptions so that young people have a better chance in life.

Your goal is to boost your sales. For this you want them to head to the website and make the purchase. You continue to post content, but with limited to no reactions and response.
Why is your audience not taking the desired action? Is there a problem in your content strategy? Or do you need to change the type of content you are posting? Maybe you need to check on and monitor your social media metrics?
Or maybe you need to revamp your social media strategy altogether?
Whether you have just plunged into social media or have been here for a while, your social media strategy should be fool proof. After all, you are spending your money and efforts on social media to achieve a particular goal. But if you are not moving anywhere towards your desired goal, you are probably not getting the desired return on investment on social media.
A good social media strategy is composed of 4 basic pillars of social media strategy. These pillars can help you define the direction for your social media strategy. Each of these pillars feed into the other.In order to ensure that you are getting the desired returns on your investment, you should maintain each of the pillars. If you want to make a mark for yourself as a brand, get ready to work on these 4 essential pillars. These pillars form the base for your social media strategy. You can go through these 4 pillars of your social media strategy to identify the shortcomings in your strategy.
4 Pillars of Social Media Strategy
Pillar 1: A Sound Plan Of Action
You need a sound plan of action that will give direction to all your activity on social media.Firstly, you need to define your objectives and goal. For what specific purpose are you promoting your brand on social media? Is it for building awareness about your brand? Is it to drive traffic to your website? Is it to get more conversions? You need to get answers to all these questions in your social media plan of action.
You also need to clearly define your brand mission and core values. What unique product are you offering to your audience? What makes you stand apart from other brands? What values drive your brand? You need to first be able to define your brand's USP, that is, the unique aspect of your brand or products that others are not yet providing. Your mission and values will play a role in shaping people's opinion about your brand. Clearly identify your core values and mission, as these will guide your social media activity to a great extent.
Another important aspect of a social media plan of action is identifying who your target audience is. Which age group are you targeting? Is there a specific gender you are targeting at? Where is your target audience placed? Having a clear target audience is very crucial to your social media activity. You don't want to waste all your efforts and resources on an audience that doesn't really have much to do with your brand or products. For efficiency in your social media activity, you need to have an audience in mind. It is this segment that will be the centre of all social media activity.
Pillar 2: Identifying The Right Avenues For Your Social Media Activity
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn. Which of these social media platforms will help you achieve your goal? Maybe you need to be present on all the platforms, or maybe you need to focus on only one or 2 platforms. Which platforms should you focus on more?
Depending upon your brand and the products that you offer, you can decide which social media channel works perfectly for your brand. LinkedIn is perfect for B2B brands. Offering a platform to network with professionals, LinkedIn is great for B2B brands to showcase their brand USP.
But that doesn't mean that you should give up on the other social media platforms. The idea is to leverage the social media platforms for their respective tools and features. Each of the social media platform offer unique features that you can make the most of, in order to promote your brand.
Pillar 3: Build a smart content strategy
Content is king. It will reflect your brand values and image. You have to use your content across social media platforms, to drive audience action. What time should you post your content on social media? What type of content should you create and post? Which content should you use for each of the platforms? How consistently should you post on the platform?
The main aspects of building a smart content strategy include a good content creation strategy and a strong content delivery strategy. You know that each of the social media platforms have their own set of tools and features. Each platform also has its own format. Depending upon these factors, you can create a winning content strategy for your brand. For instance, Instagram is the only platform offering vertical, long form videos right now. You can use their IGTV app to create videos with enticing content that engages your audience.
You need to keep track of all the latest social media trends to watch out for content styles that are in vogue today. Live streaming is a good way to boost engagement on social media. You should focus on content that adds value to the audience. This could be demonstration and how-to videos, infographics, pictures etc.You can also invest in paid content to enhance your social media reach. As such, you will have to create content ideal for social media Ads as well.
Your content delivery strategy should be equally strong. You need to be active and consistent with posting your content. You also need to know the right time to share content on each of the social media platforms. It is relevant to share content when audience activity is at peak, so that your content reaches your target audience. Posting content consistently and at the right time is the key to a smart content content strategy on social media.
Pillar 4: Tracking Your Social Media Performance And Learning From Insights
The final most important pillar of your social media strategy is tracking and monitoring your social media performance. Using a social media analytics tool like Unbox Social, you can track and monitor your social media performance across social media channels. Track the social media metrics that are relevant to your goals or objectives.
You can also uncover insights on your social media activity to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Where are you lagging behind? Is your engagement on social media upto mark? Which are your most popular social media posts? Which segments of your audience are responding more to your brand?
With social media reports, you can derive insights on all these aspects. Then you can build a winning social media strategy, taking away from these insights.
Pillars of social media strategy work like pillars of strength for all your social media activity. These pillars help you stay on track and give you direction, with each pillar feeding into the other.
To give you a basic snapshot of your social media pillars-
- Build a foolproof plan of action with clear goals, values and definition of target audience
- Target the right avenues for social media activity
- Create a smart content strategy encompassing strong content creation and content delivery plans in place
- Track and report on your social media performance

Entertainment company Sky has announced what it's calling "the UK's most flexible mobile service".
Customers with another Sky service will be able to sign up for Sky Mobile from mid-December, with a full launch expected in early 2017.
UK communications regulator Ofcom is fining Vodafone £4,625,000 for mis-selling, inaccurate billing and poor complaints handling.
This penalty is the result of two separate Ofcom investigations.
Veteran smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry says it's moving away from producing its own handsets and will instead license its software to other companies.
The first deal is with an Indonesian partner, BB Merah Putih, which is led by a leading telecommunications distributor in Indonesia.
The Telephone Preference Service and Ofcom have introduced a new text message service that lets UK mobile users opt out of receiving unsolicited sales and marketing calls.
Mobile phone users can simply text 'TPS' and their email address to 78070.
Former mobile phone manufacturer Nokia has signed a deal that'll see a new Finnish company producing Nokia-branded mobile phones and tablets.
The new company – HMD global – is being granted an exclusive branding and intellectual property licence to create Nokia-branded mobile phones and tablets for the next ten years.
Monday, February 10, 2014
Mark Bridge writes:
Mobile phones have been hitting the mainstream news over the past few days. There was Channel 4's report about data on second-hand phones not being properly deleted before the handsets were re-sold, there was the latest round of the Smart UK Project and there was Tim Muffett's story about the mobile-enabled high street on BBC Breakfast this morning.
Also big news was Microsoft's decision to pick long-time employee Satya Nadella as its new CEO. There's a new role for founder Bill Gates as well, which suggests he'll be doing more hands-on stuff in the future.
Partnerships have been another recent theme. MasterCard has teamed up with UK mobile payment and advertising business Weve to develop a contactless mobile payments system. I can't imagine Visa is especially happy, given the relationships it has - or had - with O2, Orange and Vodafone.
And in other network news, EE and Three are reported to have signed a sharing deal for 4G services in the UK. Meanwhile Nokia and HTC have agreed a patent licensing deal with each other, as have Cisco and Samsung.
But there's been breaking up, too. Sony Corporation has agreed to sell its PC business to Japan Industrial Partners and will stop making Vaio-branded computers, while Alcatel-Lucent says it's talking to technology investment business China Huaxin about the sale of its Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise division. The times, they are a-changin'.
Finally, figures from Cisco anticipate an almost 11-fold increase in global mobile data from 2013 to 2018. A total of 190 billion gigabytes of data is expected to be consumed on mobile devices in 2018, which is the equivalent of every person on earth streaming a YouTube video clip every day. Mond you, more than half of this will be carried on WiFi rather than via cellular networks.
Which, as James talked about in our 2014 predictions podcast last year, prompts the question: exactly what is 'mobile' anyway?

Iain Graham, James Rosewell and Mark Bridge return to review their mobile industry predictions from last year. Which mergers, partnerships and developments did they forecast correctly... and which didn't work out as planned?
Later in the programme, the team anticipates some of the topics that will be hitting the headlines during 2016.
Mark Bridge learns about the mobile technology trends at Mobile World Congress 2015 by chatting to James Rosewell of 51Degrees, Dr Kevin Curran from the IEEE and Chris Millington of Doro.
They talk about wearable devices, wireless charging, mobile operating systems and much more... including some of their favourite products from the exhibition.
We're taking a look back at the biggest mobile industry news stories from February 2015, including allegations that the UK's security service tried to breach SIM card security by hacking into one of the world's biggest SIM producers.
We also talk about the planned BT and EE merger, the creation of two new UK virtual networks, some acquisitions in the mobile payment arena and a new Ubuntu smartphone.
In today's programme Mark Bridge talks to Chris Millington, who's Managing Director for Doro UK and Ireland.
They discuss the state of mobile retailing in the UK, the future of wearable devices and - as you might expect - smartphones for seniors.
We're back with a month of mobile industry news, including takeover talks and takeover rumours. O2 and Three are said to be discussing a merger... but is there any truth in the suggestions that BlackBerry could be up for grabs?
We also discuss Apple's record-breaking quarterly figures, the highlights of CES and the launch of Microsoft Windows 10, as well as saying farewell to the current version of Google Glass.

Josh Makower, partner at venture capital investor New Enterprise Associates, explains to LSIPR the firm's role in supporting medtech innovation, his sweet spot when it comes to projects, and how to balance what is medically relevant with commercial viability.
Josh Makower, partner at venture capital investor New Enterprise Associates (NEA), has worked within life sciences for more than 20 years. He has learnt that "IP is a must" in the industry, due to the extensive time and costs involved in bringing a health product to market.
"If we did not believe the idea could be protected, there would be no interest in investing," he explains.
Makower adds: "IP factors in very heavily when we're looking at new companies, and the breadth and novelty of an invention as well as whether it can be practised without infringement is a fundamental screen before we'll get involved."

Our faith tells us that we are obligated to assist the hungry. For thousands of years we have heeded this call. Pease join us –even if you can only commit for a few days- in the Food Stamp Challenge. It is an excellent approach for our community to understand the struggles of hunger in Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Interfaith Coalition is an extension of the national effort to Fight Poverty with Faith. The Coalition came together in the summer of 2008 to organize the Rhode Island faith community in addressing matters affecting the poor, the vulnerable, and the disenfranchised. The Coalition includes members of various faith communities and justice-seeking community partners who believe that coordinated action is essential to cutting domestic poverty. The Coalition seeks to garner our moral authority to press for policy solutions that will overcome the root causes of poverty, in Rhode Island and across the country.
