The Christian Church: Divisive History
We know that the Christian Church had its origins in the Holy Land. It is said that upon the death of Christ, his Apostles went forth and spread the good news. Some went south towards Egypt and we have evidence of this in the Coptic Christian histories as, prior to Islam becoming the predominant religion, it was Christianity that was most dominant in North Africa under the influence of Byzantium. We call the earliest Christian Church the Apostolic Church for this is the period that the Apostles 'spread the word' and the faith across the then Roman Empire. It was a persecuted faith that found converts and, despite great risks to themselves, continued their practice and became converters themselves. This period in church history is predominantly apostolic as can be read in the annals of the early martyrdoms which included that of James of Zebedee and Stephen. The Christian term started out as a kind of mockery for the remaining apostles were referred to in a derogatory way by Romans and Rabbinic Jews as 'Little Christs' who had no place in their social world. It is at this point though that the Bible was written and put together. The most groundbreaking was the compilation of the New Testament and of hymns, prayers, creeds and the establishment of the importance of the theology behind Christianity including the Holy trinity, the Arising of Christ and his Resurrection, the Passion and his empty tomb. By the time 100AD came, the theology and the belief system was firmly entrenched and the hymns, psalms and prayers came to be intrinsic to the lives of those who practice the faith.
By the time Constantine the Great issued the Edict of Milan, the theology and the Bible were already mature and the church had a form of organization under episcopacies led by bishops even though they were ...
Solution Summary
The solution provides an extensive discussion that traces the disagreements in the Christian Church from 300-1560 AD that lead to the divisions that we see today. It tackles the question - "Why was the history of the Church so divisive?" and supports this with resources and work relevant to the topic.

Dark skies ahead for Bombardier's new CSeries jetliner
[MONTREAL] With sales of its new CSeries jetliner failing to take off and a sinking share price, despite a multi-billion dollar government cash injection, the horizon is darkening for Bombardier.
Suddenly, the Canadian manufacturer's dream - going head to head with the workhorses of the aviation market, the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, in its first foray outside business and regional passenger aircraft into the category of medium-range, single-aisle jets - is turning into a nightmare.
The first completely new aircraft design in the 100- to 150-seat category in more than 25 years was supposed to offer significant fuel savings over its rivals.
But a two-year delay in its development allowed both Airbus and Boeing to freshen up their respective lineups with the launch of the A320neo and 737 Max, which are similar to their old planes but with new fuel-saving engines.
The first neo rolled off the assembly line in January, while Boeing expects to deliver its first Max in late 2017.
Bombardier is expected to make the first delivery of its CSeries to Lufthansa subsidiary Swiss in the coming months. But it can no longer boast of 20 per cent fuel savings over competitors. At best, the CSeries is 10 per cent more fuel efficient than the neo or Max, Bombardier has acknowledged.
Considering that airlines would also have to shell out money to train pilots on the new aircraft, that makes the CSeries less attractive to potential buyers.
Meanwhile, development costs have soared to US$5.4 billion, nearly double the amount Bombardier had budgeted.
The CSeries "was an attractive purchase when oil cost US$120 a barrel, but at C$29, the argument for fuel savings falls apart," Mehran Ebrahimi, an aeronautics professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) told AFP.
But the fact remains that the CSeries is "incredibly quiet," which is a welcome design improvement for people who live near an airport, commented Isabelle Dostaler, another aviation expert at Concordia University in Montreal.
Mr Ebrahimi noted that Airbus and Boeing are trying to undercut Bombardier and hold onto their duopoly in this segment by offering deep discounts on their new jetliners.
And it appears to be working. Airbus has received 4,500 orders for its neo, while Bombardier has received no new orders for its CSeries since September 2014, after landing 243 orders during its development stage.
Faced with these difficulties, Bombardier asked for and received US$2.5 billion from the government of Quebec province, where it is based, to get its CSeries programme off the ground, giving up a 49.5 per cent stake in the CSeries program and 30 per cent of its rail unit in exchange.
Since receiving the cash injection, Bombardier's stock has fallen 40 per cent to a record low of C$0.72 before bouncing back slightly to close Friday in Toronto at C$0.81. (North American markets were closed on Monday).
The company has also asked Ottawa to contribute, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals have reportedly been hesitant to give public funds to a family-controlled firm.
Heirs of founder Joseph-Armand Bombardier hold a small stake in the company but control its board through a majority of voting shares.
"Has the Bombardier family taken such good decisions over the past decade? Not really," Mr Dostaler said.
"Just because you have a blood tie doesn't necessarily mean you share your grandfather's business acumen," she said of Pierre Beaudoin, grandson of Joseph-Armand Bombardier.
Mr Beaudoin stepped aside as chief executive of the world's third or fourth largest aircraft manufacturer last year, and was replaced by outsider Alain Bellemare, who once worked for Pratt & Whitney, the supplier of engines for the new CSeries.
Mr Beaudoin meanwhile took on a new role as executive chairman of the board.
"The problem wasn't Mr Beaudoin," said Mehran Ebrahimi. "The problem is a lack of strategy for Canada's aeronautics sector," which remains underfinanced compared to rivals that receive generous outlays of public funds.
"Take out the (Canadian nationalist) Beaudoin family, and with the Canadian dollar at a recent low, you risk having this Canadian corporate icon being picked up by a foreign buyer at a bargain," he said.
Bombardier started off building snowmobiles in 1942 and grew into a multinational with rail and aircraft divisions. It has 70,000 employees worldwide, including 24,000 in Canada.
It will release its 2015 financial results on Wednesday.

Karachi Inmates 2014 opens at Alliance Francaise
KARACHI: This might sound like exaggerated praise. It is not. The 'Karachi Inmates 2014' exhibition which opened at the Alliance Francaise on Friday evening has some exhibits that can give a few very renowned artists of the country a run for their money.
Kudos to those who have been teaching students of Central Prison Fine Arts School to paint, including their teacher Sikandar Jogi, and those who have organised the show!
The most striking feature of the exhibition is the wide range of subjects and techniques that the viewer gets to see. This suggests that they've been taught to use their imagination as freely as they can, which is why they're able to come up with some astonishing artworks.
Notice the variety first. Fazal Rahim paints the concept of 'justice' that's not as straight forward an idea as many of us think. The scales of justice in his view are loaded with all kinds of diverse images.
Hasnain Raza draws a beautiful picture of a young girl with tears trickling down her face. The fact that he has kept the canvas black and white and not splashed it with colours heightens its effect.
Sikandar Jogi, on the other hand, uses red, black and white to create a poster-like painting of a violent scene in an artwork titled 'Target Killer'. What he does different with it is that he splotches the canvas with the colour red and throws in objects (such as a broken pair of specs) in the corners to challenge the viewer to make up their own story.
Aziz Bugti chooses realism to express himself and does a very impressive job. There's finesse in his work that's unmistakable.
Hasnain Raza displays his versatility by conjuring a Middle-Eastern setting in a painting titled 'Worship'. And Kashif's landscapes infuse that light touch to the whole exhibition that, in a manner of speaking, gives it a sense of completeness.
The exhibition will continue till April 26.

The story of birth in a Bethlehem stable holds for many of us the transformational news that God has become one of us. John spoke of this moment as the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us. The great wonder of this incarnational act is that the Creator entered this world not because the Creation clamored for deliverance, but because that creation was basically at war with its Creator. If one considers sin an act of war against God, one cannot help but wonder why God acted as God did through the incarnation of Christ. Certainly it would have made sense to find the Creator acting in retribution, punishing a sinful, rebellious creation, and yet, the Bethlehem story paints with broad strokes a very different picture.
John tells us that love motivated this story of incarnation; "for God so loved the world that He gave…"
Paul echoes this theme of God's uncommon love and humankind`s persistence in sin as he writes in Romans 5:6-8, "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (TNIV) This is what sets the Bethlehem story apart from any other birth…well, that and birth announcements delivered by an angelic choir, a caravan of itinerant Magi, and a virginal birth mother just to name a few. The baby Jesus was born into a world of anger, frustration, abuse, and despair. While many descendants of Israel were awaiting the coming of the Messiah, few, if any would have looked to the humble birthplace of this baby nor expected him to later walk among them, calling them to repentance and a new way of living. The Christ did not come in human form, you see, to fulfill human expectation, but to fulfill a heavenly plan the likes of which no human mind could comprehend… "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Our world still struggles to understand this incarnation of God. Sin continues to wage war against the Creator, seen in places where integrity seems overcome by expediency, generosity by greed, peace by the violence of war, and innocence by the senseless devaluation of every life. From Wall Street to D.C., Afghanistan to North Korea, Columbine to Newtown, Connecticut, evidence of this struggle is played out again and again. And yet, Paul writes, "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." This is the good news of Bethlehem…love overcomes sin, light overcomes darkness, and life overcomes death.
The war still may seem to be waged all around us, and yet, according to scripture, the victory has already been won. Bethlehem has ensured that. And so, with Paul, we can say with hope and great expectation, "Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Dr. Jim Abernathy

In recent times Rwanda applied for its inclusion into the Commonwealth. Before it's application could be approaved however, Rwanda needed to be evaluated on the basis of its human rights.
One of the professors involved in Rwanda's review, Professor Yash Ghai, published a short summary article of his impression of Rwanda in the Kenyan newspaper The Standard. Below is the full article of the professor's impression of Rwanda, which seems to be shock a lot of people, while most of us have known this information for ages. Pretty soon I will also publish excerpts from the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative report on Rwanda's application into the commonwealth. The information contained therewithin is just as damaging as the article published in The Standard for the RPF and Rwandan government's reputation.
I'm not sure how many more similar reports must be published before people will take notice, and start to be open to the idea that perhaps the people they thought were heroes are just as culpable of atrocities as the people they believe to be the perpetrators. Either way, here is Professor Yash Ghai's article:
Rwanda enjoys a positive reputation internationally and its President Paul Kagame is regularly praised by the World Bank, the US, and UK administrations for his integrity, efforts at reconciliation, and economic policies. I was impressed by his advice to Kenyans at the national prayer breakfast last May to follow his government's example of commitment to ethnic diversity, consensus building on the common good, national values, and inclusion of all political views in national life and development agenda.
When I visited Rwanda at the request of the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative to do a report on the state of human rights and democracy in Rwanda (in connection with Rwanda's application to join the Commonwealth) my first impressions, despite some critical reports I had read, were favourable: Very efficient and courteous processing of incoming passengers, a safe, clean and well organised Kigali, and bright and suave officials.
However, I was put on guard when every non-official person I interviewed, diplomats, journalists, professionals, and local and international civil society officers, would not speak to me except on assurances of anonymity.
When I read the constitution, I found no mention of ethnic or religious groups, and came across legislation, which banned discussion of ethnicity (yet huge government posters reminded people of the "genocide against the Tutsi", although of course many Hutus had also been massacred). Those who imply that Kagame's Rwanda Patriotic Front had killed Hutus unnecessarily are heavily penalised, as are those who question official accounts of the genocide. This hardly fits with Kagame's advocacy of reconciliation, inclusion or coming to terms with the past.
Exiled hutus
Reading numerous reports of the UN Security Council, UNHCR or international NGOs, memoirs of some key Rwandan politicians and of the commander of the UN forces Romeo Dallaire, and scholarly literature, I learnt that, though of course the Tutsi had suffered greatly at the hands of a large number of Hutus, the RPF had also killed thousands of Hutus, and driven many to exile (and then pursued them in their countries of exile). Incoming Tutsi have appropriated Hutu owned land. When considered strategic, the RPF allowed the killing of Tutsis. Dallaire writes that their deaths can also be laid "at the door of the military genius, Kagame, who did not speed up his campaign when the scale of genocide became clear and even talked candidly with me at several points about the price his fellow Tutsi might have to pay for the cause". Kagame refused Dallaire's proposal to accept ceasefire to stop the massacre, because it did not suit Kagame's grand design of Tutsi hegemony. He has been quoted as criticising people who see the war in terms of human rights. He has said that some conflicts are good, "a sort of purification" which "erupt in order to make a real transformation possible".
The Rwanda regime relies on power structures that sometimes run parallel to, and sometimes crosscut, the formal government; and in which the army plays a central role. The country has relied heavily for its revenue (to fund its institutions and elite) on plunder of the mineral resources of the DRC.
Mode of extraction
It bears the primary responsibility for the political and economic instability in the Great Lakes Region (including the overthrow of the Congolese government), which is functional to its mode of extraction of wealth and its regional dominance.
It practises, and has contributed to, a complex, regional regime of illegal economic transactions, evasion of UN sanctions, arming of militias, criminal business organisations, and disregard of neighbours' borders and fiscal systems, which has greatly impoverished the region.
The RPF has used an extraordinary amount of violence, domestically and internationally. It has killed several thousands Hutus, citizens and others, and is responsible for the deaths of even more through displacement, malnutrition and hunger. It has denied hundreds of thousands of children the opportunity of education, and deprived millions of family and community life. It has conscripted child soldiers. The UN has voluminously documented these practices and repeatedly chastised Rwanda for its irresponsible behaviour in the DRC. Beneath the gentility of RPF leaders, the tidiness of Kigali, and its gleaming high rise buildings, I found a country deeply fragmented, operating under the hegemony of a small Tutsi political elite, which rules through oppression and fear.
Effective Public Relations
I discovered that these leaders are extraordinarily effective at public relations, especially as directed at the West, and make the most of the guilt in the West for doing so little to prevent the terrible genocide in 1994, directed largely but not exclusively at the Tutsi.

It's TechWeek 17 this week, and what better way to celebrate all that is great about the tech sector, than a social gathering for hard working tech folk at Fork & Brewer pub in Wellington.
Hosted by NZ Rise, and supported by NZ Rise member companies, the event was named Who is IT Wellington, and as some of you will recognise, this is the same name of What is IT Wellington's profile raiser (message us here if you want in on this goodness). Though it was a happy coincidence, it was still a coincidence.
Event manager Bronnie from OptimalPeople was in charge of the organisation, and she did a fine job. At registration, we were provided with not only a drink token (thanks, sponsors!), but also a name tag with a space to answer, "talk to me about…" which was a great way to connect with people we didn't already know and have a helpful prompt of something other than work to talk about.
NZ Rise co-chair Victoria MacLennan got up to say a few words, however, due to a failing mic, (bloody technology!) cut it short and has instead written a few words on the NZ Rise blog that you can read here.
I didn't get to chat to everyone, but I did meet and speak with:
- Steven Ensslen about Blockchain
- Carl from AbleTech about his 1962 VW beetle electric conversion
- Bianca from LawDownUnder about lots of things, namely the French election, and met Bianca's friend Zoltan, which is a great name
- Someone from Xero about Blockchain again
- Justin Douché about Blockchain, and business communities
- Kay Jones about twitter and more Blockchain
- Thomas from HunchBuzz about his gorgeous baby niece, and business in general
- Bronnie about her departure to the Hawkes Bay and how I'd strongly prefer it if she did not leave
- A couple who run a business in Masterton who have matching Linux tattoos (they've got real skin in the Linux game, har-har)
- And of course, the lovely Victoria MacLennan and her partner Steve Thomas, and we talked about moving to a remote town in northern Italy, because why not
All in all it was a fabulous event, and everyone seemed to be buzzing and having a tremendous time.
Happy TechWeek, everyone!

Asalaamu aalikum,
In my sons' Sunday School, they gave each student a book to trace the arabic letters. He just finished half his JK year but they sent him up to SK last sunday mashaAllah because he was doing so well. They are a little ahead of his old class but not ahead of him in general alhamdulillah. InshaAllah I will make sure he is caught up by tomorrow when he has class again.

Asalaamu alaikum
So alhamdulillah, we went for the Eid celebration today at the mosque alhamdulillah. It was wonderful, so much for the kids to do. We were there from eleven to four mashaAllah.
On a homeschooling note, we started the Rosetta Stone program through Alif Arabic online. It is nice, although sometimes it will not accept your voice if you dont sound exactly like the announcer so I found that if I yell into the mic, they accept it inshaAllah, and then we move on lol.
Also, I think I am going to add Shakhsiyah Islamiyah more often in our curriculum. Its something we work on without really noticing every day such as when he practices akhlaaq and adaab but I want him to know it is important inshaAllah and befitting for all muslims to have good Shakhsiyah Islamiyah.
MashaAllah, I wrote about this program before, which Umm Raiyaan, the sister from Ummihomeschools me first brought to everyones attention alhamdulillah. They were giving six months of their program for free to seventy applicants and though I thought they had an overwhelming amount of applications, my son and I were chosen. Jazakallah khair uhkti for sharing this with us, may you get the blessing from each letter my son learns, each letter he writes, and each letter of the Quran he reads, ameen. To those of you who are looking for an arabic online curriculum, please go to the link above.

InshaAllah at seven, my son will memorize Quran and recite like this boy from Houstan inshaAllah…Allah protect, and lead and guide him, as with my son and all the other young Quran students who are learning inshaAllah, ameen.
And of course my favourite child reciting online mashaAllah… Surah Ya'Sin…
edit:This boy, Mohammed Taha, has beautiful recitation too mashaAllah….

Wale, Nicki Minaj & Juicy J Get A Rousing Ovation In "Clappers" Video: Watch
Wale, Nicki Minaj and Juicy J are here to remind you that twerking is a whole big phenomenon that, yes, exists in places outside the range of Miley Cyrus' vapor trails. The three MCs appear in the video for "Clappers," off Wale's The Gifted, amidst a bevy of booty shakers making it clap (not in the way Lady Gaga is singing about, though for some this is an equally desirable type of applause).
While Juicy and Wale are content to observe (and we're just fine not watching them twerk), Nicki multitasks by rhyming and popping. Among all the jiggly parts in front of the camera, though, the following Juicy J lyric still manages cut through the distractions, thanks to its hilariously straightforward honesty: "Make that ass clap, I don't care about that cellulite."

Mindfulness in Secondary Schools
The .b [dot-be] course was created to bring Mindfulness to secondary age students to enhance their well-being and provide skills for dealing with stressful situations. Pat has now successfully delivered the .b course in two local schools.
This is a non-profit organisation whose aim is to encourage, support and research the teaching of secular mindfulness in schools.
WHAT IS .b?
.b (dot-be) is a course of 9 lessons plus an introductory session created by the Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP) specifically for secondary age students. Each session can be delivered in a lesson period of between 45 and 60 minutes and would ideally form part of a PHSE programme for years 8, 9 or 10. However it has also been successfully delivered to years 7, 11 and 12 and as a voluntary lunchtime or after school activity.
The objectives of the .b programme are to give students mindfulness as a life skill to use when and where they feel the need. In particular to help them to feel happier, calmer and more fulfilled; to help them to concentrate and learn better; to help cope with stress and anxiety and to perform better in activities such as music and sport.
The .b programme is secular, lively, attractive to teenagers and has a proven record of success.
The materials are excellent and well thought through for this age group. They are continually updated using feedback from the growing number of trained teachers delivering the .b programme in a wide variety of schools all over the world. In many MiSP schools there has been a demand from teachers to learn the mindfulness skills for themselves.
Pat is now a fully trained and certificated teacher of the .b programme with access to all the powerpoint slides, video clips, teaching materials and student booklets that form the .b programme. She is also fully convinced of the need for this course in secondary schools today and the enormous value that it can bring to the students and , in time, to the whole school.
Pat is also trained to deliver the "Teach .b Foundations Course" to teachers and parents and she would be delighted to hear from any secondary school interested in hosting this course.
Schools may wish to share this training to reduce costs and increase the mindfulness skills base within the local teaching community.

Secure processor architectures enable new sets of applications such as commercial grid computing, software copy protection and secure mobile agents by providing secure computing environments that are immune to both physical and software attacks. Despite a number of secure processor designs have been proposed, they typically made trade-offs between security and efficiency. This article proposes a new secure processor architecture called M-TREE, which offers a significant performance gain while without compromising security. The MTREE architecture uses a novel hierarchical Message Authentication Code Tree (MACTree) for protecting applications' integrity at a minimal performance overhead. M-TREE also introduces a new one-time-pad class encryption mechanism that accelerates security computation over the existing block cipher-based schemes with high security guarantee. Based on the results of our performance simulation, the performance overhead of the M-TREE integrity check mechanism is as small as 14% in the worst case, a substantial improvement over the 60% slowdown reported by previously proposed techniques. Meanwhile, the overhead of M-TREE encryption scheme is approximately 30%, compared to 50% of using block cipher encryption. In overall, our M-TREE architecture can provide a tamper-resistant and tamper-evident computing environment with low-performance impact, thereby offering a transparent and practical security computing platform.

Internet Lets A Criminal Past Catch Up Quicker
By ERICA GOODEConvicted of robbing a video store in California in 1997, Ayanna Spikes decided to change the trajectory of her life. In 14 years, she has had no further brushes with the law.
The eight months she spent in prison, she said, were "the best thing that ever happened to me," persuading her to pursue training in medical administration and complete coursework for a degree in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. At 38, she is a far different person from the confused young woman who strayed into crime, she says.
But employers, initially impressed by her credentials, grow leery when they learn her history through criminal background checks. She has been turned down for more than a dozen jobs since finishing college in 2010.
The pool of Americans seeking jobs includes more people with criminal histories than ever before, a legacy in part of stiffer sentencing and increased enforcement for nonviolent crimes like drug offenses, criminal justice experts said. And each year, more than 700,000 people are released from state and federal prisons, a total that is expected to grow as states try to reduce the fiscal burden of their overcrowded penal institutions.
Almost 65 million Americans have some type of criminal record, either for an arrest or a conviction, according to a recent report by the National Employment Law Project, whose policy co-director, Maurice Emsellem, says that the figure is probably an underestimate.
Some, like Ms. Spikes, have left their criminal pasts far behind. Others have been convicted of minor offenses, or of crimes that appear to have little relevance to the jobs they are seeking.

ATMECO uses state-of-the-art ultrasonic technology and survey methods to detect airborne and structure borne ultrasound signatures from leaking components. Ultrasonic leak detection surveys can locate hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon leaks to atmosphere and leaks across normally closed valves. ATMECO ultrasound leak detection surveys detect ultrasonic sound energy generated by the pressure drop of a gas or multiphase fluid across an orifice. Leak points can be as small as a pin hole in a pipe weld, a leaking instrument fitting or a passing valve. Applications include integrity surveys of potential leak sources on heat exchangers, distillation columns, centrifugal pumps, control valves, block valves, pressure & safety relief valves, pressurised vessels, vacuum systems, and similar. Specific survey techniques are used for different applications.
Typical non-hydrocarbon gas leak applications include detection of compressed air leaks or nitrogen leaks during pre-start-up leak checks where conventional tape & snoop gross leak checks are ineffective and inefficient. Ultrasonic leak detection is also very effective in detecting leaks from process utility systems like instrument air supply and steam systems. Identifying and utility system leaks can be a very cost effective energy improvement initiative.
Ultrasonic leak detection is not affected by weather. ATMECO regularly survey offshore or exposed process assets where high wind or rain may limit FID or OGI based surveys. ATMECO ultrasonic leak detection technology is highly portable allowing surveys of typically hard to reach potential leak sources via scaffold or other means of temporary access. The technology is intrinsically safe enabling leak detection surveys to be done under a cold work permit. The technology and survey methods do not interfere with existing site based alarm and control systems.
Our ultrasonic technology and survey methodologies enable us to cover a wide range of in-scope process components in a relatively short period of time. Our technology allows "in-field" switching between air-borne (external) leak detection and structure-borne (internal) leak detection where required. Our survey methods enable distinction between normal process plant "noise" and actual leak signatures. Typical regulatory compliance applications include process safety leak risk management and environmental compliance fugitive emissions leak detection and remediation (LDAR) programs. ATMECO ultrasonic leak detection surveys complement other ATMECO leak detection technology including Optical Gas Imaging (OGI), Flame Ionisation Detection (FID) and precision infrared thermography (IR). Complimentary technologies and survey methodologies are used concurrently to locate the source of hydrocarbon or non-hydrocarbon leaks.
- All in-scope areas monitored for non-hydrocarbon and hydrocarbon gas leaks
- Surveying for leaks where other leak sensing technologies cannot be used
- Detecting leaks in high wind and high ambient temperature conditions (Fin Fans)
- CIMS database updated with leak source details
- Combined with FID data, quantification of hydrocarbon stream leaks
- Combined with OGI data, visualisation of hydrocarbon gas leaks
- Prioritised remedial action lists for maintenance response
- Ideal for system leak integrity testing with inert or non-hydrocarbon gasses during start-ups
- Overall reduction in risk; improved safety, reduced losses, lower emissions

The Montessori method, originated by pioneer educator Maria Montessori (1870 - 1952), has a very special place in my heart. I went through Montessori education from preschool to third grade, my children went through Montessori, my sister teaches at a Montessori school, and my mother has run Montessori schools in California for over thirty years. Of course, with so much exposure to Montessori, many of our family's close friends and the fantastic individuals I was around while I was growing up also come from the Montessori community. Some of the most influential teachers I ever had were my early Montessori teachers, and I am tremendously grateful to each one of them to this day.
Not only is Montessori a wonderful approach to education, but it is also centered on respect for the child as an individual and a person, and respect for the child's own initiative and ability to learn by himself or herself. Montessori also inculcates in the child a respect for other children and the ability to work with and help others. All of these wonderful aspects of Montessori are evident in the above video, entitled "A Montessori Morning," and which shows in about four minutes a series of photographs taken during the course of three hours in the morning of a four-year-old named Jackson, along with his friends at the Dundas Valley Montessori School in Ontario.
In addition to all these outstanding characteristics (and there are many more I have not mentioned), Montessori also provides an excellent example of the esoteric method of enabling the human mind to grasp big or profound concepts (previous discussions of the esoteric include "Wax on, wax off" and "Like a finger, pointing a way to the moon . . .").
Montessori uses ingenious physical materials to represent abstract concepts. In doing so, it echoes the method employed by the sages responsible for the mythologies which make up the world's ancient sacred traditions, according to thinkers such as Gerald Massey (1828 - 1907) and Alvin Boyd Kuhn (1880 - 1963) -- although most conventional historians and academics erroneously approach ancient sacred texts and traditions as if they were intended to be understood literally.
Gerald Massey vigorously refutes the conventional view that the world's ancient myths were intended or anciently understood to be literal in the second and third sections of his essay "Luniolatry, Ancient and Modern," in which he explains:
They [meaning the conventional historians and professors of mythology, several of whom he cites in the essay] have misrepresented primitive or archaic man as having been idiotically misled from the first by an active but untutored imagination into believing all sorts of fallacies, which were directly and contradicted by his own daily experience; a fool of fancy in the midst of those grim realities that were grinding his experience into him, like the grinding icebergs making their imprints upon the rocks submerged beneath the sea. It remains to be said, and will one day be acknowledged, that these accepted teachers have been no nearer to the beginnings of mythology and language than Burn's poet Willie had been near to Pegasus. My reply is, 'Tis but a dream of the metaphysical theorist that mythology was a disease of language, or anything else except his own brain. The origin and meaning of mythology have been missed altogether by these solarites and weather-mongers! Mythology was a primitive mode of thinging the early thought. It was founded on natural facts, and is still verifiable in phenomena. [. . .]
In modern phraseology a statement is sometimes said to be mythical in proportion to its being untrue; but the ancient mythology was not a system or mode of falsifying in that sense. Its fables were the means of conveying facts; they were neither forgeries nor fictions. Nor did mythology originate in any intentional double-dealing whatever, although it did assume an aspect of duality when direct expression in words had succeeded the primitive mode of representation by means of things as signs and symbols.Alvin Boyd Kuhn picks up on the importance of Massey's concept of "thinging" and says:
As Gerald Massey says, thinking is in essence a process of "thinging," since thoughts must rest on the nature of things. And things are themselves God's thoughts in material form. Lost Light, 42.This "thinging" that Massey and Kuhn are talking about is perhaps best illustrated by the Montessori materials, some of which can be seen in the beautiful little video above. For example, in the video above, Jackson works with the Montessori "sensorial material" project known as the trinomial cube beginning at about 2:30 into the video, through about 2:44 in the video (the video moves fast -- you can see the trinomial cube segment following immediately after Jackson and his friends have a snack, at about 2:25 -- immediately following the "window squeegee" scene -- just after Jackson finishes cleaning his dishes from the snack and puts them into a drying rack to air-dry).
The trinomial cube is an example of "thinging" the somewhat abstract algebraic concept of cubing a trinomial (a trinomial is a mathematical expression containing three variables, with the vairables commonly designated as a, b, and c). If we have a trinomial (a + b + c), and we wish to cube it, we must multiply the trinomial by itself three times (this is the definition of cubing something). In other words, we must multiply (a + b + c) (a + b + c) (a + b + c).
If you remember your algebra, you will remember that the way to tackle this particular operation is to begin with the first term in the first trinomial, and multiply it by each of the terms in the next two instances of the trinomial, and continue this process all the way through the operation. The outcome of that process is illustrated rather well on this discussion of the Montessori trinomial cube, on the website of Montessori World Educational Institute.
After multiplying it all the way out, and adding it all together, one finds that the cube of (a + b + c) can be written:
a3 + 3a2b + 3a2c + 3ab2 + 6abc + 3ac2 + b3 + 3b2c +3bc2 + c3
The trinomial cube used in Montessori classrooms makes this rather intimidating-looking formula into a thing, into a model which children such as Jackson can manipulate and explore at a very early age (remember that Jackson is four years old, and he can be seen assembling the trinomial correctly in the video).
The way the model cube "things" the expression of the cubed trinomial shown above is ingenious. You can see that in the full formula, the cube of each variable appears one time each, a-cubed, b-cubed, and c-cubed appear at the beginning, the "middle," and the end of the formula, respectively. The variable a is represented by the largest dimension of the blocks in the cube -- when a is cubed it is represented by the largest cube in the model, painted red on all surfaces, of length a on each side of the cube. The variable b is the next-largest dimension of the blocks in the cube: when it is cubed it is painted blue on all sides and appears as a cube with sides of length b (a shorter distance than length a). Finally, the variable c is the shortest of the dimensions represented in the cube; when c appears as a cube (which it does one time in the above formula for a cubed trinomial), it is depicted as a cube in which all faces are painted yellow, and the sides are a length c (shorter than b, which in turn was shorter than a).
Note that in the solution formula above, the term following a3 is 3a2b. The term a2b is "thinged" in the Montessori trinomial cube as a solid with a face that is length a on each side (that is, it is a physical representation of a2 and it is painted red on the square face), but which is only a depth of b (these sides, b in length, are painted black). Thus, the Montessori trinomial cube represents a2b as a solid with a height and width of a and a depth of b, and it contains three such solids, to match the a2b in the solution to the cubed trinomial.
The model of the trinomial has solids to represent each of the terms in the full formula above. It has three that are again a height and width of a but this time only a depth of c, to represent the next term which is 3a2c (and again, the face representing a-squared is painted red). It has three solids which are b in height and width and a in depth, to represent the 3ab2 (and this time, of course, the face representing b-squared is painted blue, while the depth representing a is painted black -- colors are only used when a term is either squared or cubed, otherwise the side is black). And it has six solids which have a height of a, a width of b, and a depth of c, which are black on all their sides, and represent the term 6abc. To help visualize all of this, follow this link to the excellent schematic on the trinomial cube page of Wikisori, which lays it all out visually.
Now, the interesting thing about all of this is that the child learning how to work with the trinomial cube (and its slightly less-complicated cousin, the binomial cube, which represents the binomial a + b multiplied by itself three times) is not taught anything at all about the way that the cube is an ingenious physical representation of a rather advanced and very abstract algebraic concept. That would not really be helpful to a four-year-old child.
However, when the child is old enough, and is being introduced to binomials or trinomials in algebra, then the teacher can explain the connection to the old, beloved, familiar binomial cube and trinomial cube, and show the "esoteric" connection between the physical model and the formula they are learning. What a flash of recognition will go off in the young person's mind! It is exactly akin to the sudden dawning of recognition experienced by Daniel-san when Mr. Miyagi showed him what "wax on, wax off" was really all about!
You can, in fact, see for yourself that the webpage for the binomial cube on the Montessori World Educational Center website expressly states: "Do not explain to the child why you are setting the cube out in this order, or talk about the mathematics of the cube." Is this because the Montessori teachers do not want children to know the "esoteric secrets" of the binomial cube? Of course not! The whole point is to eventually help the child to learn about binomials, in a way more profound than the child might ever be able to understand otherwise. But trying to explain it in a "left-brained" way first would just invite confusion and questions as the analytical "left-brain" tries to absorb the abstract and complicated concepts involved, likely causing the brain to "choke" on it (and possibly never feel comfortable around binomials or trinomials ever again). Instead, the webpage advises: "The math is presented to the children when they are older and are ready for it."
This example from Montessori (and there are many others that could be used, such as the bead-chains which you can see Jackson and his friend working with after the trinomial cube segment, beginning at around 2:47 and going to about 3:00) really illustrates Massey's point about the value of "thinging" an abstract concept (a point Alvin Boyd Kuhn also underscores as being of supreme importance). It is easy to see the source of Massey's frustration with conventional academics who insist that the myths were simply a bunch of "fallacies" which ancient men and women believed literally.
Kuhn disagreed with Massey, however, in saying that these exquisite mythical metaphors, which so wonderfully "thinged" profound spiritual concepts, could not have originated as a "primitive mode" of early thought. He argues that these incredible metaphors betray the handiwork of sages who already understood completely the deepest spiritual truths, saying:
Primitive simplicity could not have concocted what the age-long study of an intelligent world could not fathom. Not aboriginal naiveté, but exalted spiritual and intellectual acumen, formulated the myths. Reflection of the realities of a higher world in the phenomena of a lower world could not be detected when only the one world, the lower, was known. You can not see that nature reflects spiritual truth unless you know the form of spiritual truth. Lost Light, 71-72.
In other words, no one could start with the physical model and come up with the spiritual truths -- the makers of the model had to know the spiritual truths already. We can immediately agree that the designer of the trinomial cube had to understand the full formula of
a3 + 3a2b + 3a2c + 3ab2 + 6abc + 3ac2 + b3 + 3b2c +3bc2 + c3
before designing the wooden model. By this analogy, it stands to reason that the designers of the exquisite esoteric myths of the world understood the profound spiritual truth they wished to convey before they ever created the myths -- the myths were not the product of "an active but untutored imagination," as Massey thought.
Furthermore, it is also evident that one could learn the trinomial cube as a child (as a four-year-old, for example), and never fathom the connection to the trinomial expression shown above -- even if they later became quite advanced at mathematics and algebra and learned all about trinomials! To make the leap from the model with the solid forms painted red, blue, yellow and black on their various sides, to the formula shown above, is not necessarily intuitive until the connection is shown to the student. This concept is expressed in the New Testament book of Acts, in which a man is depicted reading an Old Testament scroll (Isaiah), and is asked if he understands what he reads. He replies: "How can I, unless someone guides me?" (Acts 8:31-32).
What a tragedy it would be if the stories in the ancient scriptures were really intended to act as a sort of "trinomial cube" pointing to profound spiritual truths, but those who were able to teach the connection were prohibited from doing so! It would be as if children were prevented from being shown the true purpose of the Montessori materials, such as how the bead chains teach multiplication and squaring and cubing of the various digits from 1 to 10.
What a tragedy if all those who knew the esoteric connections were, at some point in ancient history, marginalized and suppressed by people who wanted to teach that these stories should all be understood literally first and foremost, and if these literalists did their best to destroy or cast out all the texts which opposed that literal interpretation or said that the scriptures were not really literal but rather esoteric.

Fortunately for the human race, the finely-crafted "Montessori materials" which are the ancient metaphors of the myths of all the world's cultures (including those which were preserved in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments) are still with us today, and can be turned over in our minds as we might turn over a finely-crafted trinomial cube. The connections to the spiritual concepts that these stories were intended to teach (via the method of "thinging") were not entirely eradicated by the literalists, but survived in various channels over the long centuries, and have been elucidated by various teachers in various texts. The connections can be made again.

5 must-haves for your seasonal home-maintenance checklist
As the summer heat fades and we transition into fall, it's a good time to take a check of your home and see what can be improved. Do you have a seasonal home-maintenance checklist? This can be a great way for you to keep your home up to date without letting an important chore slip through the cracks.
When creating your checklist this season, don't forget to include the following:
Replace the filter(s) on your home heating and cooling system to keep the air in your home clean and freely flowing.
Clean and examine bathroom vent fans to keep them running efficiently and quietly.
When was the last time you cleaned your range hood, filter and fan? Use a citrus-based cleaner to cut through the grease.
Vacuum your refrigerator coils. When the coils get dirty, your fridge runs less efficiently.
Check the driveway and pavement for cracks and make plans to have them resealed before winter.
Don't be that house on the block with the overgrown yard, peeling paint and home-improvement list a mile long. Creating a checklist can help put your home maintenance on auto-pilot so you won't forget the details.
What type of return will I see on installing new windows?
Ever heard the suggestion that new windows will increase the value of your home? Of course you have and it's typically true. Whether you plan to stay in your house for years or you want to sell tomorrow, new windows offer amazing financial benefits.
So how much?
The answer depends on the type of windows you install, but according to Energy Star, homeowners who install Energy Star-rated windows save up to $500 a year on their heating and cooling costs. These savings come simply from making the home more energy efficient and require no lifestyle changes at all. It's also worth noting that you may also benefit from a 10% green energy tax credit if you install Energy Star-rated windows. Additional credits may be available depending on which state you live in and any promotions being offered by your local utility.
That's great for those who plan to stay in the home, but what if you want to sell? Well, many agree that installing new windows likely adds real value to your home. According to HGTV, homeowners who install new windows can expect to recoup 60-90% of their investment in energy-efficient windows. You'll be making your home more appealing and perhaps getting some of your money back as well. It's win-win.
You can learn more about savings and rebates in your area by visiting the Energy Star Rebate Finder website.

November: Growth Mindset
This month our counselor led classroom lesson built on the the November life skill, Growth Mindset. During each classroom visit, we explored "The Power of Yet" as we read the story, The Thing Lou Couldn't Do. In this story, Lou encounters a challenge: she has never climbed a tree. Throughout the story, Lou procrastinates and makes excuses to avoid climbing the tree. Eventually, with some encouragement from friends, Lou faces her fear and climbs the tree. But she falls! Despite her initial failure, Lou models a Growth Mindset, realizing she just can't climb the tree YET, and eventually tries again.
Students took time in each class to set goals and think about ways they can have a growth mindset at home or at school. In third through fifth grade, students also watched a video about a group of young boys in Southern Thailand who used a growth mindset to start the original Panyee Football Club in 1986.

text: Hi, I bought a Gallien-Krueger 400RB-III head off of ebay a week ago. When the head arrived, I got ready and plugged it in and it had no output from the powered out jacks in the back. With this problem, I started the investigative work. I found the DI works, as long as you don't push the button to take the signal post EQ. At that point, output dies. The preamp is fine. I plugged the effects loop out into the effects loop in of a Peavey combo, and it sounded great. all the knobs and buttons pertaining to the preamp worked fine. Made the Peavey sound much better However, the main outs don't work. I think I've somewhat narrowed it down to an issue with the boost amp since the post EQ signal that feeds the DI is after the boost amp. My issue is, should I try to have it repaired or should I send it back? I love the way the amp sounded patched through the combo, but at the same time, the ebay seller had a guarentee that it would be fully functioning, so I can send it back. Would this be an expensive fix? Thanks for your help! Dustin

Nine-year old Kathleen grinned playfully as she readied for her photo shoot.
"I'm so fabulous!" she said, while getting her hair braided.
The pint-sized fourth-grader was among five children in a special photo shoot by Heart Gallery NYC.
The non profit teams up with professional photographers and the city
Administration for Children's Services to do artful portraits of
children in foster care.
The photographs are displayed in Heart Gallery NYC's touring exhibit
that travels to various venues citywide. Each exhibit includes a
recruitment station where gallery staff refer interested families to the
partnering foster care agency.
The hope is to raise awareness about some of the 13,380 children in
foster care in the city and to help them find "forever families."

Theory of Recruitment and Selection
The theory of organizational recruitment is a scholarly body of work about how people can most effectively be persuaded to apply for a job. Under normal circumstances, an increase in the pool of applicants will improve an employer's opportunities in selecting exactly the right person for an opening.
Person-Organization Fit
clothes peg image by Olga Patrina from Fotolia.com
Research shows that applicants will be attracted to the organisation to the extent they see it as a good match for them, or what in the literature is known as "person-organization" (P-O) fit. Potential applicants make an initial assessment of the likely P-O fit through what they understand of the employer's culture: for example, a firm that seems "supportive and team-oriented" will attract a certain pool of applicants, and a firm that seems "innovative and detail-oriented" will attract others.
Organization Size
Research also indicates that the simple fact of size correlates with the way a particular organisation will seek to recruit applicants. Smaller firms are more likely to rely upon employee referrals and networking--what are known as "internal recruitment sources"--than their larger counterparts. Studies on such matters are quoted, for example, in the "Oxford Handbook of Human Resource Management" by Peter F. Boxall and others.
The actual selection will always be subject to pitfalls, however successful the recruitment. As Gareth Roberts wrote, "The only way to be certain that someone can do the job is to give them the job."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 2010 – MTV's college network bypassed a plethora of pop, rock and movie stars, and bestowed a top honor on a man they call a "true role model": Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates.
The mtvU network yesterday named Gates its inaugural 2010 Man of the Year.
"College students inherently believe that they have the power and ability to change the system," Stephen Friedman, general manager of MTV, said yesterday in an mTVU news release. "mtvU is proud to honor Secretary Gates because he stood up for what was right, and made historic changes to the system by focusing on the issues at hand rather than partisan rhetoric."
The network cited Gates for making "bold, reasoned" choices on issues such as gender bias, fiscal restraint, military modernization and the so-called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law. Gates has been a long-time proponent of repealing the law, which bars gays and lesbians from openly serving in the military. Yesterday, President Barack Obama signed the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 into law.
The network praised Gates for keeping the focus on servicemembers even as he dealt with two "controversial and difficult" wars.
"Although young people are sharply divided on the war, Secretary Gates and this generation are completely aligned in their unwavering support of the troops," Friedman said.
The network posted an online video yesterday that features Gates speaking on key issues interspersed with praise for the defense secretary's service to the nation.
"Secretary Gates has been awarded the National Security Medal, the Presidential Citizens Medal and has twice received the National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal," the release said. "Now, in 2010, for consistently focusing on solutions for today so they're not problems for tomorrow, and for rational and reasoned discussion instead of polarizing sound bites -- he can add 'mtvU Man of the Year' to his list of accomplishments."
The network's Woman of the Year was hip hop artist Nicki Minaj.
The mtvU network is broadcast to more than 750 college campuses and via cable distributors in 700 college communities nationwide, according to its website, and reaches nearly 9 million

Murder trial starts for jail escapee
Man accused of killing woman after breaking out of jail
ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – Jury selection began Monday for a former Putnam County jail escapee accused of killing a woman in 2009.
Timothy Fletcher is standing trial in St Johns County court in the 2009 killing of 66-year-old Helen Googe.
The case was moved because of pretrial publicity.
Fletcher, of Welaka, and Doni Brown, of Satsuma, escaped from the jail April 15, 2009. Googe's body was found hours after the breakout.
The two men were caught days later when deputies acting on a tip chased them down on foot and tackled them.
Investigators said the men made it as far away as Kentucky before returning to the Putnam County area after their escape.
The men are accused of stealing a truck and car in Florida, a car in Kentucky and a car in Tennessee.
The cellmates were able to escape the jail by ripping out a sink and toilet combination from the wall using a jack Fletcher apparently stole from a county van while returning from a court appearance, investigators said.
They crawled through the hole in the wall, went out a door to the outside, investigators said, and then they dug under one fence and were able to get through a second one.
Brown had been arrested Aug. 17, 2008, and charged with robbery with a firearm. Fletcher was arrested March 3, 2009, on three counts of failure to appear on an aggravated assault charge.

The loophole was created in the 1970s, when the EPA was banning oil companies from dumping wastewater. Ranchers complained their livestock needed it to drink, and still dismiss concerns about its safety. And even though states can regulate wastewater, regulation on Indian reservations is done by the EPA on a case-by-case basis. Oil and gas companies dump freely on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, "so much that is creates streams that flow into natural creeks and rivers," Shogren reports. Wastewater often contains toxic chemicals, including carcinogens and radioactive material.
Through a review of EPA documents and emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, Shogren found that some EPA staffers "clearly are appalled by wastewater releases," with one even saying that it could have "irrevocable human health and environmental impacts." The documents "suggest that as least some people inside the EPA are advocating for stricter rules," Shogren writes. "But much of this debate has been kept secret."
Tribal leader Wes Martel told Shogren, "You've got to wonder, what types of chemicals are those beef retaining? And when that goes to the slaughterhouse, what's in your steak?" Eastern Shoshone Tribe member Darwin Griebel, "one of a handful of ranchers whose livestock use the oil field water, pooh-poohs Martel's concerns," Shogren reports, quoting him: "Animals drink it. People aren't going to drink it. Hell with the quality of the water." (Read more)

For those who choose to provide palliative care to the SAINTS animals, it is a rocky road of joy, and sadness and hopefully, peace. The peace comes when deep in your heart you know that you helped that animal find peace too. Death is not the heart breaking monster, life is.
It is their barren lives and the possibility of their lonely cold deaths, unwanted and unloved that is the real monsterous thing. Once they come to us, whether for a week or a year or even a moment in time, we have slayed that lonely monster and bandished it forever from them.
The SAINTS do not die in lonely backyards, or cold, cement kennels, or shelter back rooms, or afraid in sterile vet clinics with strangers around them…they die in our arms with our tears upon their face. And that moment of death means nothing, except the gentle end of this life that they had.
And with us, the life that they had as they meet the final end is one that is warm, and loved, and full of peace. This is what we focus on, and what we remember each and every time we bear witness to their passing.
Their death is our loss, and yes it wounds our hearts, but it is a little wound that heals quickly because it is a wound knowingly accepted to give them a life that they felt was cherished.
People ask me does it get easier…and honestly, it depends…did we meet our goal and were they happy, did they have enough time to feel truly loved, did we plan their end well enough to meet their needs and how deeply did they bury themselves in our hearts til we got there.
They never really leave us, we carry them each and every day and they help us to find what we need to be there for the next one. Thinking of all of this and remembering each life's ending as I wrap my heart around them, and mostly remembering every single smile upon their face before they left us…that is how I get thru each day and not fear tomorrow.

Important: Make Sure Your Account is Not Private
Need to Buy Twitter Followers for Your Profile
Twitter is a reasonable source to share your thoughts with the online community. But you must have good number of followers to share you content. As without that your time is going to be wasted you spent on creating your content. Suppose you are creating a new post every hour but there is no one to see it. Then this would be useless to use this network. That is the reason you must have to buy Twitter followers which will increase the number of your supporters just in few hours. This is the only approach you can use to increase your profile visibility fast without any kind of hard work. Also it is less costly and time consuming to outsource your marketing campaign to some social media experts. And as a result you can have good number of customers if running an online business.
Twitter Retweets for More Engagements
Your shared content also need to be re-shared to more and more people which are called retweets. By this process you can spread your words to a large community on Twitter and can increase engagements. The more audience see your posts, the more your content will go viral. As we can see every famous person or business has posts with thousands of retweets. Which means their popularity totally depends upon this. So we can say that it would be right decision to buy Twitter retweets for fast popularity of your personal or business activities. Also this will be most economic approach that does not require any big budget.
Twitter Likes to Attract More People
Tweets on Twitter without likes do not appeal more people to engage with your content. Because people will think that this post is not liked by anyone so this brand, business or person has no popularity. When you buy Twitter likes for your tweets, you are going to show the community that people are taking interest in your posts. That will attract a large number of people to engage with your tweets. In oppose if you do it yourself, it may take your months to get only few hounded likes. Which is no doubt a time consuming effort without the achievement of any positive results.
Twitter Video Views for Marketing Purposes
Majority of people are posting videos on Twitter for marketing purpose. But that strategy is totally going to be useless if these are not watched by people. You must get the attention of audience to get your videos go viral. For that reason the best approach would be to buy Twitter video views for unbeatable promotional campaign. As this is the most fast and affordable way to have more views in less time frame. The more people watch your videos means that your marketing is doing in right direction. As you may gain customers if broadcasting for your business.

Fosters was facing a common management problem: that of harnessing its portfolio of Beringer California Collection wines to increase profitability, improve its competitive position, and defend against a disruptive new entrant in the U.S. wine market called Yellow Tail. The normal response would be for Fosters to consider lowering price to maintain share and volume.
However through the intelligent use of data analytics Ashish Sinha demonstrated that a combination of price increase together with the introduction of a volume-flanker product in a new channel would improve profits, increase revenue, and protect and enhance market share. It also managed to play an important role in deposing the market share leader, Yellow Tail, from its dominant position. Ashish will also provide examples of other companies where this approach has been successfully implemented and discuss some avenues for future research.

Justin Bieber has explained why he recently unfollowed boxer Floyd Mayweather on Instagram, denying that he has a problem with the star.
- Exclusive NME offer: Save £10 on Amazon Music Unlimited plans with code NME10
The singer and the undefeated world champion were once close friends, with Bieber even escorting Mayweather into the ring for his famous bout against Manny Pacqiao in 2015. However, Mayweather was said to be 'nuclear' with anger after claims that Bieber was severing the ties of their friendship with Bieber unfollowing the boxing superstar on Instagram.
Speaking to TMZ recently, Bieber said that he has "nothing against Floyd", explaining: "We just need to create boundaries and stuff when it comes to certain things."
Mayweather recently spoke to Hollywood Unlocked about his friendship with Bieber, saying: "Justin Bieber is at a point, he's in a place right now, that he's focused on church, he's focused on his new team, he's focused on the Lord, and the only thing I can do is give him the utmost respect. To each his own. I'm not here to be negative and talk bad about anyone."
July saw Bieber cancel his world 'Purpose' tour, months before it was due to end – citing claiming to be 'burned out' and exhausted from the months on the road. Sources later claimed that Bieber may be turning his attention to 'reconnecting with his faith' and starting up his own church.
"I am led to believe that the real reason he has come off the road is because he wants to reconnect with his faith and he may be even planning to start his own church," said celebrity journalist Richard Wilkins, after speaking to sources close to him at the annual Hillsong Church Conference in Sydney.
"We know that he was in the country a few weeks ago having meetings and attending the big Hillsong convention that they had here. [He's] very close to a lot of the Hillsong people. Whether he's looking at teaming up with them in something of a more permanent situation or doing some sort of religious activity on his own – starting his own church – we're not quite sure, but that's the word from an inside source."

DesignIntelligence survey: Amory Lovins, Barack Obama among admired sustainability leaders
An economic downturn that has pulled the plug on many design and building projects in recent months hasn't been enough to quell interest in sustainable design practices among architects. The 2009 DesignIntelligence Sustainable Design Survey, which draws data from architecture and design firms throughout the United States, finds that most firms claim a majority of their projects are environmentally responsible.
Of particular interest in the survey are the individuals and organizations that architects cite as role models.
Top 5 individuals cited as role models of green and sustainable design:
1. William McDonough
2. Ed Mazria
3. Bob Berkebile
4. Amory Lovins
5. Barack Obama
Top 5 firms cited as role models of green and sustainable design:
2. Perkins + Will
4. Kieran Timberlake
5. (tie) Arup
5. (tie) Mithun
5. (tie) William McDonough + Partners
In addition to citing contractor and product manufacturer role models, the annual Sustainable Design Survey also records how well architects believe their own firms are progressing in achieving higher levels of sustainable design, if their firms are behind or ahead of their peers in that regard, and the most popular ways that design leaders are changing their personal habits in their desire for a smaller carbon footprint.
The 2009 DesignIntelligence Sustainable Design Survey can be purchased in the DI bookstore.


text: "King of King Court" / Library Journal / Chris Kretz / October 23, 2019In his first full-length graphic memoir, Dandro (Mr. Gnu comic strip) presents the story of his tumultuous family life in Massachusetts, from childhood through high school. This portrait of the artist as a young man in some very bad circumstances depicts how the author's biological father's increasing violence and drug habit intertwine in a boy's life of play, school, and pop culture. The art style is likewise a blend, with straightforward line drawings mixing with hyperrealistic scenes that give way to flights of fancy. The combination of whimsy and trauma create an arresting and compelling read, and work as a whole shares a spiritual kinship to Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, the real world presented through a lens of imagination. Using inventive designs and page layouts, Dandro shows how effective the graphic format can be in relating personal narratives. VERDICT A visually engaging and human story of early trauma and how art and the imagination persist through the toughest of times. For those interested in real-world stories of accounts of people coping with difficult family situations. Share+
