by-id canvas lookup

Personally, I'd suggest to use "by-name (by-id)" - and then just look up "/by-name/map/ksfo/28R" or something like that - we previously talked about that, and I don't that it would be complicated to support this, Tom?
I started incorporating Stuart's latest changes with my version of the code, and now that Stuart has added a "within 100 miles" button to load other airports, and with my support for showing multiple airports at once, it would obviously make sense to combine these two features.
I have completed that, but here's another great optimization opportunity: the way this works currently is that airports get fully refreshed - so that we reload and redraw all airports, even though they may already be loaded.
In other words, I would need to add a caching mechanism in Nasal space to handle this more efficiently, i.e. look at all loaded airports, if new airport is found, re-center map and then load remaining airports in new 100 nm range.
However, that would be much better to address at the C++ level by providing a "by-id" lookup method, so that the Nasal code could just do a lookup in the form of "by-id/airport-layer/ksfo/" "by-id/airport-layer/koak".
Also, "removeAllChildren()" is eating up time here when a canvas group is reset/cleared - while we could expose a faster C++ version, I would just make this also lazy and support a "remove" flag, so that it is 1) marked non-visible and then lazily removed by the canvas (not necessarily in the same frame).

Chinese navy commissions first fourth generation destroyer
Published: Jan 12,202007:15 PM by PTI
China on Sunday commissioned its first fourth generation guided-missile destroyer, which is expected to accompany aircraft carriers in new battle groups.
Beijing:
The warship named Nanchang was commissioned by People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) in the port city of Qingdao, official media reported.
Launched on June 28, 2017, the Type 055 destroyer is equipped with new air defence, anti-missile, anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons.
The commissioning of Nanchang marks the Navy's leap from the third generation to the fourth generation of destroyers, a statement issued by PLAN said.
Having a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, the Type 055 is a 180-meter-long, 20-meter-wide guided missile destroyer with 112 vertical launch missile cells capable of launching a combination of surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles, land-attack missiles and anti-submarine missiles, according to media reports.
Beijing-based naval expert Li Jie said that Nanchang is expected to accompany aircraft carriers in battle group, state-run Global Times reported.
The Type 055 will serve as a powerful escort to aircraft carriers and is also very versatile and can lead a task group without a carrier and conduct a wide range of missions, Li said.
Five other Type 055 destroyers have been launched at the Dalian Shipyard, Northeast China's Liaoning Province and Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, according to reports.
China has two aircraft carriers and building more.
Official media reports said that China plans to build five to six aircraft carriers in the near future.
Also on Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping conferred China's top science award to Huang Xuhua, the chief designer of China's first-generation nuclear submarines.
Expanding its navy at a feverish pace as part of its efforts to increase its global influence, China reportedly has about a fleet of 68 submarines which include nuclear as well as conventional submarines.
China is constructing a major underground nuclear submarine base near Sanya, Hainan. The base could be capable of hiding up to 20 nuclear submarines from spy satellites, reports said.
As the first Asian country to have developed nuclear submarines, China has been operating N-submarine since 1970.
Since then the N-submarines carried out major upgrades and started taking part in battle groups since 1990.
In 1988, Huang took the vessel to its maximum depth to test it, a task so dangerous that many crew members wrote farewell letters to their families to be delivered in the event of their death, state-run China Daily reported on Sunday.
Huang was also one of the eight recipients of the Medal of the Republic last year for his outstanding contributions to the nation.

There were a lot of expectations I had when I left on a European vacation with my sister this summer. I expected to get headaches from all the champagne in Champagne. I expected to gain five pounds from all the bread and cheese I was destined to consume. What I didn't expect was to walk away with lessons that I could apply to my day job as a brand manager at R/West. Throughout my adventures, I learned a thing or two about people, planning, and quality control.
For the most part, my sister and I did a pretty good job planning our trip. We picked our destinations based on what we wanted to do and see. We went to Champagne to go wine tasting; we went to Normandy to tour the D-Day beaches; etc. The only part of our trip we didn't plan were the two final days, which we spent in Paris. We figured we would just sort of wing it since you can't really go wrong – the city has so much to offer. This was a mistake.
Day one in Paris arrived, and we decided to go to the Louvre – which is enormous.
You could probably spend a good two weeks in there. And as it turns out, my sister wanted to. After about an hour of waiting in line and then another four hours battling crowds of tourists to see paintings and statues I had little interest in, I tapped out.
I retired to the hotel with sore feet, disappointment, and the bitterness of my Louvre-loving sister hanging over my head. Overall, not a super successful day.
Make sure you're on the same page with all involved. Knowing exactly what everyone is expecting from the beginning can save a lot of future headaches and wasted time.
The first phase of our trip was spent in Holland with our cousins, who live there. We had the luxury of locals showing us around their country and communicating for us when we weren't able to. Needless to say, our first week abroad was smooth sailing and required little effort on our part.
Dani and I didn't quite realize how spoiled we were in Holland until we made our way to Épernay (our first stop in France) and ran into a series of challenges and cold, unhelpful shoulders due to our inability to speak French.
After panicking a little and then spending a night in our hotel room studying basic phrases like "Do you speak English?" and "Help us, we have no idea what we're doing," we experienced a tad more success navigating our surroundings and interacting with people. Most likely, they took pity on us. But being pitied was definitely better than being ignored.
Understand where the other person is coming from, and try to meet them half way. People are a lot more likely to be receptive to your needs and ideas if you show you're open to theirs.
Between Holland and France, Dani and I decided to make a pit stop in Brussels since it was on the way. My biggest regret of the trip was not spending more time there – we got in late in the afternoon and had to leave early in the morning. We had just enough time to eat dinner and sneak in a Belgian waffle for breakfast before boarding our train, which was a huge bummer. We were both itching to explore the city more. The worst part: we didn't even hit up a chocolate shop to taste some real Belgian chocolate. A true tragedy. If we hadn't had such a jam-packed schedule, we would've had the opportunity to get the full Brussels experience.
You're better off going for quality over quantity. If you try to do too much at once, things will fall through the cracks.
Our trip may have been a tad bumpy, but it was an exciting and valuable experience for me. I've always been one to challenge myself, because every time I do, I end up with a new perspective. So, even if you don't have an overseas trip planned, you can still learn a lot from simply getting outside of your comfort zone.

Trump's Speech Causes More Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes Than Terrorism, Study Shows
By Cristina Maza On 11/16/17 at 2:43 PM EST
A demonstrator holds a sign during a march against President's Trump ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries entering the U.S. Reuters
U.S. Donald Trump Anti-Muslim 9/11 Terrorism
Muslims are more frequently assaulted in Trump's America than they were post-9/11, a new study of FBI crime data revealed.
The number of assaults rose precipitously within the past two years, eventually surpassing the peak reached in the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks, according to the study from the Pew Research Center.
"There is a correlation between hate crimes and the rhetoric from the leadership, the Muslim ban, the insistence on attributing violence and extremism to all Muslims, and the refusal to recognize white supremacy," Qasim Rashid, spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in the U.S, told Newsweek.
"Islam has been part of the American fabric since the beginning, but there is a narrative being pushed that Muslims are foreign to America. So it becomes easier to strike fear in people who don't know Muslims," he added. A previous Pew study from 2014 revealed that 62 percent of Americans don't know a Muslim, a fact that makes it easier for many Americans to demonize Islam.

President Trump is now facing several lawsuits for campaign rhetoric that allegedly incited violence, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"The significant increase [in hate crimes] over the last two years coincides with Donald Trump's racist, xenophobic campaign and its immediate aftermath. We reported a surge in hate crimes and other bias-related incidents—many of them carried out in Trump's name—in the days after the election," the Southern Poverty Law Center said in a statement.
"[Muslims were] repeatedly demonized by Trump, who during the campaign promised a 'complete and total shutdown' of Muslims entering the country."
Hate crimes of all kinds have been on the rise during this period, including the intimidation of Muslim groups and the vandalism of mosques and other places of worship. Rashid said his mosque has been shot at and vandalized.
Overall, there were 307 incidents of anti-Muslim hate crimes in the U.S. in 2016, marking a 19% increase from the previous year. https://t.co/8Zb3KhACnJ pic.twitter.com/vGhbvGIXoJ
— Pew Research Fact Tank (@FactTank) November 16, 2017
The increase in the number of anti-Muslim hate crimes overall is staggering, the Pew report showed.
"Overall, there were 307 incidents of anti-Muslim hate crimes in 2016, marking a 19 percent increase from the previous year," the study reads. "This rise in hate crimes builds on an even sharper increase the year before, when the total number of anti-Muslim incidents rose 67 percent, from 154 in 2014 to 257 in 2015."
Experts say the true number could be even higher because so many crimes go unreported.

Dr. Sunder Krishnan explains the effect of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our relationships.
The following is a raw, unedited transcript provided by a digital transcription service and may contain grammatical or spelling errors.
Speaker 1: My Brother Sunder, everybody can be seated except you. Come on up here, my friend. When I was thinking about and praying with others about who would join us in the preaching team for this moment of SEEK, we invited our brother from Canada. Rexdale, 36 years leading a congregation there and now in this retirement stage, which means you get to do all the things you love but don't have to do the things you don't want to do, right?
Speaker 1: So I invited this brother largely … not only because of significant ministry throughout the United States and Canada and accomplishments that he's had, which are all significant, and the family that he's raised, and the marriage that he has, and those things … but I invited him because I've seen God in my brother. I've known him for 20 years. Our paths don't cross often enough. But every time I've been with my brother, I end up loving Jesus more. So I get to welcome a distant but mentoring voice in my life and a soul that has experienced the work of God within him.
And I welcome you to Florida and this lovely congregation that God has brought together. Welcome my friend Sunder.
Sunder Krishnan: You know, I was trained as an engineer before I became a pastor, but that doesn't mean I know how to do anything with my hands. Much to my wife's chagrin, I don't fix things around the house. Maybe some of you are like me. Maybe others of you are very good. But imagine for a moment that all of you are really good at this kind of stuff. And imagine that someone takes you to the biggest hardware store close by and gets you all the best power tools that you can imagine. And you've got all the big batteries that you need to power that well, and they build you a wonderful workshop in your home. Imagine that for a minute. It takes great imagination if it's me. But imagine that for a minute.
Something's still missing, though. Right? What are you going to build? You have this tools. You have the power. But you need to know what you're going to build as well. We are uniquely wired, each one of us. We have spiritual gifts. We have individual passions. We have our temperaments, our life experiences. Those are like the tools that we have. And we've been talking about, and well continue to talk about, the Holy Spirit as the one who has the power. But what exactly are we building with the Spirit within us? We need the blueprint as well. And as a pastor, I'm dealing with blueprints all the time. Right? Not just ideas, because people are not interested just in ideas. They want to know how does these ideas about God connect to where the rubber meets the road?
And so really my two messages have been entitled the Splendor of the Holy Spirit in the Ordinary Dimensions of Life, not the spectacular dimensions of life. And so in preparation before we begin, look at some of the verses where we are specifically commanded to do something in the scriptures in, by, with the Spirit. Here are some of the things I found. In Ephesians 5:18, we are to be filled with the Spirit. In Ephesians 6:18, we are to be praying in the Spirit. In Galatians 5:16, we are to walk by the Spirit. In Galatians 5:25, we are to keep in step with the Spirit. In Romans 8:13, we are to put to death the deeds of the body by the Spirit. That's a book-length message, right, in there.
Now many of those don't have a whole lot of detail in their context. Only one tends to say a lot more than the others, and that's the one I want to focus on. And that's specifically the one from Ephesians chapter 5 verse 18 to 6:9, where we are told to keep on being filled with the Spirit. And then there are what the grammarians call four-participles. Participles basically qualify the verb. Speaking to one another, singing and making music in your heart, thanking God, and submitted to one another out of reverence for Christ. And then he talks about three areas in which this thing is to be expressed. Wives and husbands in the marriage relationship, children and fathers in the parenting relationship, and slaves and masters in the work relationship.
So when you put it all together, it would seem that one of the primary expressions, the outflow of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives, is relational in its dimension. Speaking, singing, thanking, submitting. These are all relational terms. And specifically, these three areas of marriage, parenting, and work, which is not surprising, because that's where we do most of our living. Right? We sleep about seven hours a day if we're lucky. Sleep-deprived North America because we don't get that much sleep. We certainly work several hours a day, 8, 9, 10 hours a day. And the rest of the time, we're doing something around the house or related to people in our home. We actually spend very little time in church. This is where the rubber meets the road.
And I'm going to be speaking in my first message on marriage, but nobody tune me out. I'll tell you why. Because everything that I say has to do with all relationships. And when John Piper, one of my favorite pastors whom I listen to and whose preaching inspires me, the very act of preaching regularly, at the age of 60, after 35 years of marriage, he said this, and it came out of his personal journey experience, because it was on his blog. He said, "All sins are ultimately relational and come to find their worst expression inside of marriage." And if you are married, you know that's true. But what I want to talk about today applies to all relationships that we have.
Those of you who are not, who are single, you might be married one day. Those of you who will not and don't know about that, you still think about some critical relationship in your lifetime, but all thrown into a relational matrix in work situations, in church situations, in neighborhood situations, in extended family situations. And you will find that almost everything I say applies almost exactly, although they come to the most intense expressions within marriage. Now, why did Paul focus upon marriage specifically? Because later on in the text, he says something absolutely stupendous about marriage. He says, "I'm actually not talking about marriage at all." He said, "I'm talking about Jesus and the church." In other words, marriage has been chosen by God to be the unique illusion of his relationship with the church. Therefore, it is something that is of colossal importance, which is why it is ruthlessly attacked by the devil in our society and everywhere else.
So my major focus is going to be on that. Apply it. Make the transpositions, and you'll find most of it has to do with all of the relationships in our life.
So why do we need the Holy Spirit in our life? Well, I've going to go back all the way to Genesis chapter 3 when our first parents were tempted by the devil. Now, what was the fundamental temptation of the devil? What was this basic temptation? One man put it this way. It was a passion to define and control. Basically what he said was, "You don't have to listen to God. You decide. You will become like God. You will become independent, and you can independently determine what is good and what is evil." And Larry Crabb called it the passion to define and control, to define what is good for me and then to control everything and everybody else so I can get what is good for me.
And of course, the relationship that was immediately affected was the marriage relationship. They covered themselves up. They were no longer comfortable with who they were. Shame, guilt entered the picture. And then of course there was fear. If this is how I'm feeling about myself, I'm now being seen by the other person exactly the way I am without any mask at all. So not only am I not comfortable the way I have been made, I don't want anybody else to see me the way I am. And they're seeing me right now, so I better attack them before they attack me. And that's exactly what happens. Counter attack, blame shifting.
All of these things came into being in an instant as a result of that fundamental temptation to independently determine what is good and what is not good for ourself. So this is the passion to control and to define what is good for myself is basically what the Bible also calls that self-centeredness. Now, the real problem is, it's not just self-centeredness. It's what one man called justified self-centeredness. It works something like this. Certainly I know in marriage, it works something like that. You get married to this absolutely wonderful person. You see nothing but all the amazing good things. And then you get married, then you discover this person's actually quite selfish. They're thinking a whole lot about themselves more than about you. What is more, you get disconcerted because you know that they are discovering the same things about you. But my self-centeredness is justified, while yours isn't. That's where the rubber meets the road. And it is true in all of our relationships.
But the real issue is not even self-centeredness but is this idea of justified self-centeredness. It is exacerbated in many cases by our woundedness. People, probably many, mostly because of our family background and experiences, bring into our relationships … and again, most explicitly manifested within marriage … issues of insecurity, fear of trusting other people. All of those things begin to come into play. So when our self-centeredness is pointed out, we respond with, "You're not going to really understand, because you haven't gone through what I have gone through." That's true, but it doesn't make it right.
Now, if you have two people who are both wounded, and I've dealt with a lot of marriages like that in a pastoral perspective, you can see how this gets so bad. Each one resisting any revelation of their self-centeredness by saying, "Oh, but you don't understand that mine is unique." Now, it doesn't mean we don't … we absolutely do need to deal with our woundedness. But our fundamental problem … is it woundedness, or is it self-centeredness? Because if we answer woundedness and deal with it, we will now become healthy self-justified people as opposed to wounded self-justified people. The fundamental problem is always the self-centeredness. The woundedness exacerbates it and therefore needs to be dealt with.
Sunder Krishnan: I was so joyful to hear my son recently say about his marriage, "Dad, it's pedal to the metal until I die, as far as my marriage is concerned." And he's right on. Why? Why do we have to do that? Because of what Jesus said about marriage. It is a unique revelation of the words of Christ's relationship to the church. So it is the more we reverence Jesus, the more we going to be reverencing marriage in particular and all relationships that are foundation.
So how does this work? How does the reverence for Christ work in our life? Now, the word reverence, what does it really mean? People have tried to define it various ways. Fear of the Lord, but fear has so many connotations that are unhelpful for us, like especially the kind of fear that makes us afraid of people. And that operates in many, many relationships. It operates within marriage. It operates within … power issues within relationships gets in the way. But what exactly is this reverence for Christ?
Psalm 130 verse 4 gives us an interesting truth. It says, "But with you," with God, "There is forgiveness so that you may be feared." Now we don't put those two words together normally, do we? Because if I have offended you, and I need you to forgive me, I am fearful of you until you forgive me. But as soon as you forgive me, all fear is gone. So this is interesting. So obviously this cannot refer to that kind of servile fear. This is the kind of forgiveness that actually increases this fear. So what is it? What kind of fear is it, this reverence for Jesus that through the forgiveness that comes to us actually increases the fear? It's not the fear of a broken relationship. It's exactly the opposite.
And let me come to it in a slightly different way. And that is by looking at this, what fear does to us. We are controlled by what we fear. My wife doesn't like to travel, especially when I go overseas, because she's afraid of flying. She wasn't like that when she was young. Later on in life, she's having to deal with this. And so she says, "Can we drive?" "Well, yeah, if it's within four or five hours, yes. But it'd take me two and a half days to drive to Orlando. Right?" So she's always wanting to do something to avoid flying if possible. "Can we make the trips as short as possible? can we break up the journey?" We are controlled by whatever we fear. I have a hard time dealing with people who get angry, really angry. So I do strategies in my life to avoid dealing with angry people or confronting them.
So fear works in a sense of controlling us. So when you look at it that way, it gives us a much better understanding. Reverence for Jesus, or fear for Jesus, is not the kind of servile fear that taxes the relationship, but it's the relationship with Jesus that controls our lives more and more. And that's what the Holy Spirit does in our lives. The work of the Holy Spirit is to magnify Jesus in our life. It's to magnify the words of Jesus so both Jesus becomes desirable and we begin to cultivate that relationship to the extent where it begins to control all of our relationship. Are you tracking with me so far? That's the work of the Spirit in our lives. To magnify.
And Jesus Himself said that. He said, "He will not speak of himself." Remember what He said? The work of the Holy Spirit is not to keep on talking about Holy Spirit. He says, "He will take of me and make it known to you." and Tim Keller says that the word to be make known, the word declare, is the kind of thing that is a resting declaration. We have a pope. Our first pope to resign in 700 years. Or 9.8 earthquake. That's declaration. That's making known. And he says the work of the Spirit is to keep on declaring the glory of Jesus in that way into our lives so that it becomes an arresting, controlling factor in our lives.
That word that is translated selfish ambition or rivalry was used by Aristotle to talk about people in politics who continually thrust themselves forward. And we have lots of evidence and illustrations of that, right? Self-promotion to the exclusion of others. So the tearing-down of others. And because of this justified self-centeredness in relationships, we have plenty of opportunities to do that. Promoting ourself. That's the whole thing that self does. Pushing me, my ideas forward. Mine are more important than yours. Conceit, on the other hand, comes from the word glory and has the connotations of empty glory. Now, what's glory? We use the word glory all the time. I think one of the meanings of glory is the word doxa, which means opinion, from which we get words like heterodox, and orthodox, and paradox.
So conceit is an opinion about yourself that's actually quite empty. It's lightweight. It's the exact opposite of real glory, which is in the Hebrew word called kabod, or has weight. It's gravitas associated with it. So much of human glory, he said, that which pushes you to promote yourself. Whether that glory consists of your intellectual superiority, or of your emotional superiority, or your positional superiority, or your social superiority. It doesn't matter what it is. It sees it as empty. It's empty because it actually doesn't have much gravity. It's also empty another way. When you do succeed in promoting yourself, the glory that comes to you is empty and pointless. In other words, even when you are successful in your attempt at self-justification, you have failed. It is an enterprise that is doomed to failure in marriage and in all of our relationships.
Now in contrast to this of course is the mind of Jesus Christ. What does it say? Though he was equal with God, He did not consider equity with God something to be grasped at." Though He was equal with God, He became a human being. And though He became a man, He became a servant. And as a servant, He then died the death of a criminal. It's downward mobility, the exact opposite. The exact opposite of that self-promotion, that ambition, that conceit, and self-glory. He emptied Himself of real glory. We push ourselves forward with empty glory. He emptied Himself of the glory that really was His all the way down. Therefore, God exalted Him and gave Him a name that is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus every know should bow, every tongue that confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
That's the mindset that the Holy Spirit magnifies. It is the work of the Spirit in our lives to fall in love with this kind of a mindset that doesn't come to us naturally. What comes to us naturally is upward mobility. What we despise is downward mobility. That's why he goes on to say in humility. Not only do nothing from selfish ambition. That's the opposite, negative side. Positive he says in humility, or in lowliness of mind, count others more significant that yourself. Now lowliness of mind is humility, but it was a quality that was despised by the Greco-Roman culture of the first century. It was considered to be something strenuously avoided. It was a sign of weakness. Yet in the scriptures, it has become the defining virtue, the essence of the mindset of Jesus Himself.
Now, what does it mean when it says in humility count others more significant than yourself? Does it mean that you think lowly of yourself? No. In Romans chapter 12, Paul talks about each person thinking about themselves with sober judgment. It means to think accurately about yourself. It also means to think accurately about somebody else. Self-disparagement, denying something that is true about yourself, is not humility. If someone were to say to me, "Well, you have a real gift in preaching," and I say, "No," that's not humility. That's stupidity. [inaudible 00:21:15] it's a gift, so I have nothing to boast about, but it is given to me. It just means that you are accurate in your estimate about yourself, and you're accurate in your estimate about other people, and therefore to count others more significant doesn't mean to pretend that someone is better than you in an area where you're not, but rather use those areas in which you are better than them not to promote yourself but to serve. That's the difference. You get the idea? That's it.
This has nothing to do with pretense, folks. It has to do with soberly thinking about yourself and thinking. After all, the work of the Spirit is to equip you too. He's not only the power, He gives you the tools as well. So don't deny what the Lord has given to you. But recognize that it is given, not for one-upmanship, not for promoting yourself with a justified self-centeredness, but with the kind of other-centeredness that uses what you are good at to serve and bless the other person.
One person puts it this way. He said, "Humility is the noble choice to use your influence for the good of others." Humility is the noble choice to use your influence for the good of others. So this is what the Holy Spirit exalts about Jesus. Philippians chapter 2 verses 5 to 11. And you begin to fall in love with it, because society doesn't like it. In our natural state, we don't like it. We don't like humility and meekness. We don't like to be those kind of people. We want to be those powerful people who promote themselves successfully, who assert themselves, who control others, who define what is good and make sure that we get it. That's what comes to us naturally. That's what causes all the problems in the relationships in our life and find their worst expression within the intimate one, especially in marriage. That's what the Holy Spirit has come to neutralize, and He does it by magnifying Jesus so we fall in love with Christ.
And then of course, because I'm intellectually oriented, I get down and study these terms, "baptism of the Holy Spirit, the filling of …" They didn't have that single, univocal meaning that some people claimed they have. They're used so fluidly in the New Testament, that there's no one particular way to understand these experiences.
So this is just my journey, okay? One person's experience. Take whatever of it makes sense to you. It'll fit, some of the pieces will fit on the journey that you're already on. And that will get you ready for the next step along the way.
This is our part, a coming to Jesus. Now notice what he says, he says, "Learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly." Lowly is the same word, "humility", and gentleness is the Greek word, [Greek 00:25:57], is translated "meekness." That would take on a whole sermon in itself, but in essence, meekness has to do with the control of anger. And it's the ability to be angry with the right person for the right reason, for the right amount of time. Moses is a magnificent illustration of that, he was called "The meekest man in all the Earth." And so was Jesus. One moment he was angry enough to come into the temple and overturn the tables of the money changers, and make a whip and drive people out. He said, "Zeal for my Father's house is consuming me." And not too many days after that, he allows himself to be mocked, to be beaten, to be bruised, never even opens his mouth. Angry at the things that anger the heart of God, and completely non-resistant when his own honor was at stake.
Anger is an issue that ruins so many relationships, especially marriage. Because marriage is full of unmet expectations. When two people get married, they bring into it so many expectations. Half of them they don't even know they have, and the ones they have, they never say, they expect the other person to guess it. "How come you can't think up this yourself?!" Men usually are the receiving end of that problem.
But seriously, though. We need meekness in our relationships as well. And Jesus has come to me and I will teach you. And I love what he says, he says, "Learn from me. Not learn from me because I know, not learn from me because I'm an expert, learn from me because I am." So what does he want you to learn? He wants you to learn humility, he wants you to learn meekness. Which is what the Holy Spirit has been wanting to magnify about Jesus, right? So for me, my part in being filled and controlled by Jesus, is this regular coming to him. To learn from him.
By the way, he also teaches with humility and meekness, and I love that, too, about Jesus. You learn a lot from humble teachers, not from the arrogant ones. I had two teachers of fluid mechanics at my graduate school at MIT. They were both brilliant men, they both had written seminal books on the subject. I took courses from both of them. One was an absolutely brilliant teacher, he caused learning to happen because he never made you feel stupid. The other one would open ridicule you in class, and it was all I could do to even, I had to take the course because I had to, otherwise I would've never even stepped foot in.
Jesus comes down to our level to teach us. I want to learn from someone like that. And he says, "I'm also meek." He never gets angry, because "Never, you're so dumb, when are you gonna learn? Stupid." No. Never. Because he never gets angry. He's humble, meek. You want to learn from a teacher like that? Why would you not go to him? What's gonna keep you from every day, making sure you come to Jesus? Because you've got a teacher like this, and each time you come, the Holy Spirit's got it's raw material to magnify Jesus for you. And you go out slightly changed.
Now in my workshop this afternoon, I'm gonna talk about how this happens through the Word, because in Jesus' time, you could do this literally. In Jesus' time, you literally came to Jesus, you literally sat at his feet. Mary literally sat at his feet to learn. But we can't anymore. And so more often than not in my experience, the Spirit works through the Word. And by the way, that's a study in itself, as you read through the Bible, notice how many times "Word" and "Spirit" work together. Right from the opening chapter. What was the book opening chapter all about? God spoke into creation but don't forget verse 2, "The Spirit of God brooded over the darkness." And what happened on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was given?
The day of Pentecost didn't start, by the way, that day. We think, we always associate Pentecost as if it got started when the Holy Spirit was put on. The day of Pentecost was already in existence in before, it was a day when they celebrated the giving of the Law. Isn't it amazing that God chose the festival where they celebrated the law to put on the Holy Spirit? Word and Spirit, Word and Spirit, working together.
And in part of the passage to Ephesians chapter 5 where it tells us to keep on being filled with the Spirit, every text is the same except in Colossians chapter 3, it says, "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly." Word and Spirit, Word and Spirit, work together. And the written word becomes powerful because it corresponds to Jesus the living word. And that's what the workshop is all about, but basically for me, this is how it works. To come to Jesus, coming regularly to Jesus, with an open Bible, and dependence on the Spirit of God. And the Spirit exalts Jesus, the living word, through the written word, we fall in love with Jesus, specifically the mindset of Jesus, that is lowly and gentle. And that begins to work itself up slowly in one relationship after another.
Father, You know looking out over a group like this, You know the relational tensions that are represented in this room. They would be enough to crush us by its weight. Will you, Spirit of God, descend right into the midst of those relational tensions right now? Will you quicken hope that there is possibility of transformation in those relationships? By us becoming lowly and meek, because we love to become lowly and meek, because God exalts the lowly and the meek. So Spirit of God, work that kind of reverential love for Jesus within our hearts, and because of what the status of our relationships tells the world about Jesus' love for the church, we will give ourselves to whole harmony and holiness in our relationships.
Tim Crouch and Tim Meier give us stories of the amazing things that happen when we respond to God's call.
Rejoice and be inspired by what God has done through the Holy Spirit, especially in and through the Alliance family.
John Soper speaks about the vine of Christ, reminding us to abide in Him in order to bear good fruit.
President John Stumbo challenges The Alliance family to help answer the cries of displaced, oppressed, and suffering peoples in some of the world's most hopeless places. Led by His Spirit, strengthened by your prayers, and supported by your generosity, we CAN do something. We ARE doing something. And WE WILL DO MORE!
"Prayer is my best friend because if helps me through really tough situations," says Lexi, whose father had a brain tumor.
John Stumbo delivers part 1 of his talk on where we are as the Alliance Family, and what our response, as a Christ-centered, Acts 1:8 family, should be. LOVE & PROCLAIM.
This introductory clip can be used to start each session or provide a sneak peak of the next session in the series. The Apostle Paul said, "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." We believe this is the fiber of our being. Without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we can accomplish nothing.

Fred Hurt is a veteran gold miner who pushes his team and his equipment to their limits. He was sent to Porcupine Creek by claim owner Earle Foster to oversee the rookie miners in their first season. He is bold and uncompromising and not afraid to ruffle a few feathers to get the job done.
Fred began his construction career in the late sixties, working as a Commercial Diver in the Gulf of Mexico. Here he learned underwater construction, demolition and salvage — skills that he would later apply to gold mining. In 2004, after nearly 25 years of running his own construction company, he "retired". But it was now that the real work started and Fred started gold mining exploration in Alaska.
After an unsuccessful few seasons of mining at Porcupine and Caribou Creek, he moved on to claims in Nevada, Wyoming and Montana. Then in 2008 he returned to Alaska — this time to the frozen wastes of the Arctic Circle — to a claim at Little Squaw Lake. Here he helped design, build and operate a gold processing plant. In one short season, his five-man team managed to extract over 600 ounces of gold from the frozen ground.
This season he's the new boss at Porcupine Creek with the freedom to mine the claim his way. But this new freedom means he now assumes sole responsibility for making his investment pay off.
Fred says that he's been married for 42 years but its taken three women to do it! Today he is happily married with four kids, six grandkids and five great grandkids.

WASHINGTON: Pakistan has called for resolving the decades-old Kashmir dispute to usher peace in the region at the United Nations.
Speaking to a high-level forum on Culture of Peace, Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi said the plight and profound suffering of the Kashmiri people should shake the world conscience and urge the international community into action.
She said the situation in Occupied Jammu & Kashmir was a travesty of international law, justice and humanity.
The Pakistani envoy said Peace could not be achieved amid widespread economic and social deprivation, human rights abuses and situations of political and economic injustice.
In this regard, she cited Kashmir and Palestine as the most glaring and tragic examples of historic injustices where people are still denied their fundamental right to self-determination.
Both these issues remained an unfinished agenda of the United Nations.

Triangle Arts Review Welcomes Anika Willis as Staff Writer
Triangle Arts Review is growing, and we're proud to welcome Anika Willis to our staff. Anika prefers to alternate gender pronouns, as may be evidenced by future writings and the bio below.
A 20 year old Wake Tech student, Anika has loved anything having to do with the arts since the beginning of high school. This person participated in the "behind the scenes" technical aspect of theatre all throughout high school, and that continued after he graduated.
She spent a year and a half at Brigham Young University, where she started studying elementary education before transferring to Wake Tech. While at BYU, Anika spent a lot of time participating in the arts in different capacities, from simply watching shows, to ticket taking and ushering for events put on at the school, to being a lighting technician for various productions.
Since returning to North Carolina in March, Anika hasn't had a lot of opportunity to directly participate in the arts, but is working at the PNC Arena, where handling sports events and and some concerts can be an art in and of itself. He is also planning to participate in whatever events might be happening at school while pursuing an elementary education degree.
Anika's first assignment with TAR will be an interview with a cast member from North Carolina Theatre's upcoming production of In the Heights.

It is a reward for all the hard work he has put in during his seven years at school and with his rugby clubs outside school. We hope he takes this opportunity to prove himself against some of the best players in the world." Head of Sixth Form and First XV rugby coach, Mr Caspar Joseph, added: "This is an outstanding achievement. I am delighted for Alex, he is an all round good student, an intelligent lad, a prefect and, of course, an excellent sportsman!"
Alex, who hails from Westhoughton, has been on Salford's books for three years and has also played for the England U16s rugby league team. He has also been a Bolton School first team rugby union regular and played for the North of England Independent Schools' Barbarians.

Financial services – if not financial institutions – will be increasingly integrated with video games.
Image: Still from RMB City
Amid non-stop hype around Web3, the metaverse, crypto, and other nebulous concepts, cuts the question: what problems can these ideas solve?
Problems in the real world, existing, concrete problems, as opposed to the magic-bean-upon-bean challenges troubling the minds of techno-libertarians.
Problems, in other words, that financial services should be addressing, or solutions that financial institutions should adopt.
Financial inclusion is just as slippery, as buzzwords go. But most people would agree that providing financial access and opportunity to more people, delivered in a way that addresses human wants, sounds desirable.
The vehicle through which digital-native finance can meet some of those needs is video gaming. If early successes can scale, games will become important conduits for financial institutions. They may even start to use games for their own ends.
"Video games is the new fintech," Matthias Kroener, the founder of Germany's Fidor Bank and now managing director at Tradelite Solutions, which builds games for financial institutions, said at a recent conference.
DigFin first wrote about video games, non-fungible tokens and micropayments in early 2019, with a look at how Fortnite was pioneering lifestyles in its community. That's a centralized platform in which gamers pay to participate, but already people were looking at ideas of how to monetize aspects of the game.
Venture investors also looking to games as a means to scale the nascent NFT marketplace and moving games to decentralized apps.
Micropayments and Marshmellow
Meet the man investing Block.one's venture money
These expectations were realized last year with the first play-to-earn gaming business, YGG, which launched in the Philippines in June. Its founder, Gabby Dizon, had been playing a video card game called Axie Infinity back in 2018. He saw other Filipinos couldn't afford to play the game, so he lent them his "Axies", the cards that players could purchase.
He could do this because Axie Infinity is built on blockchain as a decentralized app and its Axies are coded as non-fungible tokens, that is, assets with a unique code and cryptographic hash.
Dizon took a cut of whatever financial rewards these other players could accrue in the game with their borrowed Axies. Axie Infinity and other blockchain-based games reward players with tokens or other crypto-based assets. People can trade these on marketplaces such as OpenSea, or even exchange them for blockchain tokens such as Ethereum. This is the key difference to paying a fee to play a game in a traditional medium, be it web-based like Fortnite or on a console like Nintendo or Xbox.
Dizon was therefore earning revenue in two ways: by splitting the token rewards garnered by his network of players, and through the appreciation of the NFT assets the players were using.
When COVID-19 forced a lockdown, playing Axie Infinity became a financial lifeline for many poor Filipinos, and Dizon decided there was a global market for this sort of business.
He founded YGG (Yield Gaming Guild) in 2021 to manage the network as well as provide his players with a sense of community, including training on the ins and outs of NFTs and crypto, mentorship to improve playing skills, and donations to local community charities.
Players, called "scholars" (as in, recipients of scholarships), earned $8.6 million in 2021, with YGG paying out over $1 million a week.
Shortly thereafter, a16z (Andreeson Horowitz) led a $4.6 million financing round in YGG. "The way we define a 'job' is quickly evolving because of crypto and gaming," the venture-capital firm said in a statement.
Gaming's profile
It would be a mistake to assume gamers are just young people.
The gaming industry in 2020 was valued at $173 billion, according to OGLife, a startup from the U.S. that is building its own play-to-earn ecosystem. Citing research from Mordor Intelligence, it says the industry is growing at a compounded 9.64 percent, with Asia Pacific the largest market. Cloud and 5G make mobile gaming the fastest growing segment.
RMB City
Men and women of all ages play games: there is an estimated 2.8 billion gamers worldwide. In the U.S., an estimated 64 percent of adults are gamers.
OGLife is targeting adults and seniors, including current and former military, emergency responders, and healthcare workers – people who suffer physical and mental wounds, disabilities, lonely deployments, and dangerous jobs.
This is the developed world's equivalent of financial inclusion.
The new old metaverse
The idea of combining crypto with virtual-reality environments gained currency last year when Mark Zuckerberg rebranded Facebook as Meta.
"The open metaverse is what Web3 should look like," said Evan Auyang, group president of Animoca Brands, a Hong Kong gaming tech company. Web 3 refers to the idea of a decentralized Internet of Value, meant to disrupt the power of centralized online platforms like Google and Facebook.
But the metaverse predates crypto and virtual reality. Today's ferment can be traced back to 2003 – years before the iPhone or bitcoin – when a San Francisco startup called Linden Lab introduced Second Life.
Second Life is an online multimedia platform that lets users interact in the form of digital avatars. Unlike games, Second Life has no objective or baked-in conflict. It's literally meant to be a digital version of daily life.
The concept took off, and Second Life peaked in 2013 with around 1 million users interacting in a closed-loop digital economy that by 2015 had reached about $500 million. Second Life allowed users to transact using its own currency, Linden dollars. This virtual currency remains limited to buying, selling, renting, and trading virtual land, services, and goods within Second Life. Because users can pay in U.S. dollars or other real money to acquire Linden dollars, participants were able to start making profits in Lindens that they later exchanged for greenbacks: up to $60 million was cashed out in 2015.
The Linden dollar is not a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. It is entirely controlled by Linden Lab. It's more like scrip issued by companies or cities for use in their communities.
(Scrip has a checkered history of its own, including money for internal use among leper colonies, a failed attempt at creating a global currency for Esperanto enthusiasts; more successful municipal scrip such as Ithaca Hours and the Brixton Pound; and new experiments such as MiamiCoin.)
In 2009, Chinese artist Cao Fei launched RMB City, a space within Second Life that was designed for performances and art. (The images in this story are stills taken from RMB City.) In 2009, she produced RMB City Opera, merging virtual and physical space, allowing avatars to interact with a live audience – a prequel to games like Fortnite bringing in DJs and pop stars for real-time, virtual gigs.
Virtual worlds decentralized
Blockchain companies are also creating decentralized versions of Second Life – not games but virtual realities in which people interact via avatars, but with NFTs powering virtual assets that can be used for exchange.
Animoca Brands has created a company called The Sandbox to create one such decentralized virtual world. Built on Ethereum, it offers gaming, opportunities to buy and sell virtual real estate, and investing NFTs into DeFi applications to earn more of the platform's governance token, $SAND.
$SAND can be traded for Ethereum and ultimately for dollars, creating a financial link between virtual worlds and the real one. Second Life could do this too, but whereas Linden Lab had total power over its Linden dollar, NFTs and tokens are immutable, and users can asset ownership.
Similarly, users can own whatever they create within this environment – whereas if Facebook/Meta launches a virtual world, it will own the real estate.
The company is still in test mode, but it has already attracted attention. In November, Softbank's Vision Fund 2 led a $93 million investment round into The Sandbox.
The money is meant to support creators and artists to develop a player-owned economy and add more brands to the virtual world; the company says it already has 500,000 wallets signed up and 30,000 active monthly users.
This was followed in December by PwC announcing it would acquire virtual real estate, to explore how it can communicate with clients in the metaverse.
Player-owned protocols
Crypto – specifically, NFTs combined with DeFi-style lending and collateral protocols – is turbocharging these virtual worlds into financialized games. Proponents believe blockchain delivers a better experience than traditional games (owned and operated by corporations) because they allow the players to earn money and even own a slice of the platform with tokens that can appreciate if the network continues to grow.
The Axie Infinity example shows that people in the Philippines and Indonesia have been able to supplement their income by playing games on behalf of virtual-asset lenders.
Other businesses are now springing up in YGG's image and they are framing these in terms of community benefits.
From the U.S., OGLife's white paper talks about "Thriving-as-a-Service" to provide mental and physical wellness as well as financial opportunity. OGLife is aimed at "Original Gamers" who earn its governance token, $OGL, by completing healthy tasks as well as participating in game tournaments. The token operates on the Solana blockchain.
The company aims to equip its users with a community. For its target market of military vets, healthcare workers and people with disabilities, it says OGLife offers coping mechanisms and training in basic software and other basic business skills, as well as earnings from gaming.
"The majority of gamers prefer to play with others and feel that games help them stay connected to friends and family," said Brandon Sivret, CEO. "As gamers age, the motivation shifts from connecting to a community online towards staying mentally aware and keeping cognitive skills sharp."
Kroener of Tradelite adds that financial inclusion is not just a problem in emerging markets: he says 30 percent of Germans are financially illiterate and 5 percent lack access to banking services.
Another new player is Singapore-based Avocado Guild, which has also built a userbase in the Philippines and Indonesia aimed at Axie Infinity, with a $AVG token built on Ethereum.
Backed by Animoca Brands, among others, Avocado Guild also invests in games and platforms, with the intention of building an ecosystem of blockchain-based games in which it can deploy its users.
"Blockchain gaming will be adopted by traditional gaming market soon," says Avocado Guild's co-founder and CEO, Brendan Wong.
Problems in paradise
There remain plenty of challenges to these new companies and business models – for the entrepreneurs as well as for their users.
Many of them are promoting DAOs, or decentralized autonomous organizations, to govern these worlds and protocols.
This is considered critical if these platforms are to be considered decentralized and therefore working for users/tokenholders, not just for the company that set it up. Their smart contracts are meant to set a level playing field and enforce agreed-upon rules.
DAOs remain in an unstable phase of experimentation. Prominent examples such as last year's ConstitutionDAO simply haven't worked. The group raised $47 million in Ether to buy an original copy of the U.S. Constitution but when it lost the bid, the DAO's software couldn't return the money to its members.
DAO software can be just as inscrutable as a lawyer's document. Squabbles in the NFT world over copyright and true ownership of JPEGs of bored apes and so on have revealed contradictions in who wants to be protected from what.
"Some DAOs are trying to be fully automated," said Avocado Guild's Wong. "To fully achieve this will take time and not every DAO will make it." That sounds reasonable but no one wants to be in a dispute over an NFT within a DAO that isn't going to make it.
There are also questions about just how decentralized these worlds can be. Insiders and early adopters – the "whales" – own outsized portions of crypto market caps – and in many blockchains that gives them the kind of voting power that insiders enjoy in centralized tech companies. Marketplaces such as OpenSea sometimes freeze transactions. A lot of coordination in these communities takes place over Discord and Twitter, centralized platforms. The Web3 vibe is anti-VC (because VC backs centralized Big Tech) but it's the likes of a16z and Softbank that are investing in the crypto-gaming nexus.
The biggest question is whether YGG and its progeny represent a true paradise of user-owned and operated systems, or if these are just virtual company towns, where all the stores and housing are owned by one company that is also the main employer: the coal miner, the steel plant, the fruit plantation. Some company towns also wanted to do right by their employees, but most exploited workers.
Teaching poor people the ropes to handle NFTs and crypto is fine, but is it teaching financial literacy?
Yat Siu, founder of Animoca Brands, has told DigFin that he sees games as the best way to teach young people the kind of financial skills they should learn at school, but don't. They have to learn budgets and the value of money, as well as probabilities and risk/reward. There's no better teacher than experience.
Crypto is, however, all about speculation, and will remain so until tokenomics are attached to real-world income streams. NFTs are volatile assets. What people might need is household budgeting, access to credit to support a small business, and an appreciation of compound interest.
Platforms probably do not want their governance tokens to be regarded as securities, however – that would invite regulation.
There is also a disconnect between the network value of a popular game and the ability of users to earn money.
Avocado Guild's Wong says, for example, that its players were at one point earning up to $400 a month from borrowing NFTs to play Axie Infinity. But that payout has fallen to about $60 a month, below the minimum wage for most industries. That reflects an oversupply of players as well as rising costs of transacting NFTs – gas prices in Ethereum.
This creates a conflict of interest between tokenholders and players.
There is also the problem that as games lose their attractiveness, the value of the token or the market value of game-related NFTs declines. This creates an incentive for guilds to shuffle players to whatever is the hottest game. It's the kind of strategy that works until it doesn't.
Building better
These are genuine problems but they are unlikely to stop the momentum that is driving finance and gaming together. There are plenty of reasons for skepticism but there's also the fact that a lot of people want to participate in this.
Startups in blockchain are innovating a lot of new ways to combine gaming and finance. Some of their ideas aren't that original, others could prove dangerous. But it only takes one good idea to sustain this trend – at which point traditional institutions can move in.
Financial institutions should keep on top of this because gaming offers them an incredible gateway to customers, both retail and corporate. Gamers are prevalent in rich and poor countries, among men and women, young and old. There's no gender or generation gap in marketing a service through gaming.
Games have rules, which means they create a predictable environment. People like that. It creates a welcoming environment. That's like trust. And when people trust something, they are open to learning and to trying new things. The crypto aspect is merely providing tools to engage with players.
That's relevant for financial institutions as well as blockchain startups – and that's why, over time, gaming is going to become a powerful gateway for banks; why it's going to become the new face of fintech.

Auburn was much better in the red zone Saturday scoring touchdowns on four of its five trips inside the Warhawks' 20.
That will help improve the Tigers' almost NCAA-worst performance in that category, but it doesn't mean much against a weak opponent.
Until the Tigers are able to run the ball inside, and Sean White proves he can throw the ball into some tight windows near the goal line, that will continue to be a concern until Auburn proves otherwise.
The Tigers tried hard to keep Louisiana-Monroe off the scoreboard, but failed.
Montravius Adams recorded his first career block of a field goal attempt in the first quarter, but the Warhawks found the end zone on the last play off the half.
Louisiana-Monroe ran six plays inside Auburn's 10-yard line on the drive before Garrett Smith found Marcus Green from two yards out for the touchdown.
That was the last time the Warhawks threatened the rest of the game.
White recorded the first rushing touchdown of his career with a 3-yard run and added his career-long completions.
White connected with Kyle Davis for a 48-yard touchdown. Davis caught the pass wearing jersey No. 85. He also wore No. 11 — his usual jersey in the game. Montgomery's Jalen Harris usually wears No. 85.
In the first drive of the second half, White added another 48-yard touchdown pass with this one going to senior Tony Stevens, who was streaking untouched into the Louisiana-Monroe secondary.
Rushing defense — B: The Warhawks faced a brick wall most of the game and did muster 112 yards on 32 carries.
Passing offense — B: Sean White and Kyle Davis connected on a 48-yard touchdown where there was no defender with 15 yards of him.
Passing defense — A: The Warhawks rarely had enough time to look downfield and when they did, they couldn't do much damage.
Special teams — A: Daniel Carlson isn't perfect as he missed a 56-yard attempt that was blocked, but the Tigers also blocked a FG attempt.
Coaching — A: Three penalties, no severe injuries and a homecoming rout which has to be a pretty good day for a coaching staff.
Overall — A: The Tigers dominated an inferior opponent to open 3-2 with their comfy 5-game home stand to open the season.
