BEES BEES BEES from Wynton Marsalis's SPACES - Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra August 21st, 2017
SPACES by Wynton Marsalis Bees Bees Bees April 2, 2016 Rose Theater Watch the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Lil Buck, and Jared Grimes perform "Bees Bees Bees" during the world debut of Marsalis's work SPACES. Appropriate for all ages, this special concert was the debut performance of a previously unfinished work. Composed with the concept of an "animal ballet" in mind, Wynton Marsalis's SPACES will attempt to recapture the natural fascination we have with the sounds and movements of animals. Movement is an essential aspect of both jazz music and natural life itself, and two extraordinary dance geniuses represent this connection in their work: Lil Buck, a groundbreaking young artist recently seen with Yo-Yo Ma, Madonna, and Cirque du Soleil; and Jared Grimes, a quadruple-threat tap dancer who in 2014 won the Astaire Award and choreographed on Broadway for After Midnight and Holler If Ya Hear Me. Damian Woetzel, choreographer and retired Principal Dancer with New York City Ballet, acts as choreographic consultant and worked with both dancers on the overall structure and choreography for SPACES seamlessly integrating it with Marsalis's musical composition. They joined the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis in the world premiere of this visually captivating performance.

Tamannaah Bhatia has been roped in for the Telugu remake of a successful Bollywood film "Queen" and the actress is happy to be able to give her own perspective to the film.
"I am very excited for the film. I feel happy that I am going to be be able to give it my perspective and it will be how I think or perceive of the film so I am really looking forward to it," said Tamannaah on the sidelines of Elle Beauty Awards 2017 on Wednesday.
"We will start shooting the film soon, most probably from this month itself. First of all, that film taught us how to love yourself and I think every girl has loved that film," she further added.
The film is titled "Queen Once Again" and will be directed by Neelakanta Reddy.
The 2014 released "Queen" that starred Kangana Ranaut narrates the story of Rani, who goes for her honeymoon to Paris alone after her fiance calls-off the wedding on the final day. The trip transforms her completely.
Rajkummar Rao played Kangana's fiance in the film.
The actress looked like a diva at the award night.
"At Elle Beauty Awards, there are lot of beautiful people who have come to support the awards. It's all about enjoying beauty, giving recognition and contributing towards beauty industry... I would like to congratulate all the winners who won the awards," she said.


Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd has bagged a contract from NMDC Ltd for setting up a plant power distribution package at its 3-million tpa integrated steel plant at Nagarnar in Chhattisgarh. The turnkey contract is valued at Rs. 359 crore.
Significantly, this is the second package contract won by BHEL from NMDC Ltd for the same steel plant, as the public sector engineering and construction entity is already executing a raw material handling package for the project.
The current order envisages design, engineering, supply, erection and commissioning of the complete power distribution system on turnkey basis. The system will supply power through 33kV GIS-based substations to the shops of the integrated steel plant.
Earlier, BHEL secured a contract for setting up a 1,320-MW supercritical thermal power project on EPC basis from Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Ltd. Valued at around Rs. 7,800 crore, the order is for setting up the 2×660 MW coal-fired supercritical thermal power project at Ennore SEZ in Tamil Nadu. This power plant will be constructed on a reclaimed ash pond which calls for specialised civil design, utilising otherwise barren land.
With this project, BHEL has now won orders for supply and installation of 35 supercritical boilers and 30 turbines of 660, 700 & 800 MW ratings.
BHEL's scope of work in the Tamil Nadu project includes design, engineering, manufacture, supply, construction, erection, testing and commissioning for the EPC package. The key equipment for the contract will be manufactured at BHEL's Trichy, Haridwar, Bhopal, Ranipet, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Jhansi plants, while the company's power sector – southern region will be responsible for civil works and erection and commissioning of the equipment.

After two successful and well-received classic R&B CDs, singer Douye' is on a career path that has taken an unexpected but ultimately logical turn. Douye' (pronounced Doe-Yay) has re-emerged as a very talented jazz singer on her impressive new recording Daddy Said So. It may seem as if this is a radical change but, as Douye' explains, it is actually a return to her roots.
Douye' has since worked very hard at finding her own place in the jazz world. Rather than doing it halfway or merely copying the great jazz singers of the past, she was determined to study hard, learn a countless number of songs, and sing jazz in her own way. She paid close attention to the reactions of the audience and the musicians when she appeared at jazz jams at the World Stage in Los Angeles. "If I did not sound any good, they would certainly tell me! I gained the courage to give it a real try after getting some confirmation from the jazz crowd that I could do this." Daddy Said So features Douye' singing a set of classic jazz standards. Her voice is attractive, warm, quietly emotional, has a solid sense of swing, and she clearly has a deep understanding of the lyrics. It is a very impressive jazz debut for the up-and-coming singer.
Rather than utilize the same group of musicians on each selection, a wide variety of brilliant jazz artists make memorable appearances throughout the release. Douye' originally made demos of the songs that she planned to record, sent them to many of her favorite musicians, and happily discovered that every artist was interested in being on her project.
"Mood Indigo" and "I Loves You Porgy" were recorded with veteran pianist Kenny Barron's trio. "But Beautiful" and "All The Things You Are" feature a talented Nigerian tenor-saxophonist Zem Audu and pianist Benito Gonzalez. Douye' originally recorded "Lush Life" and "Sophisticated Lady" as duets with her friend the late pianist Joel Scott. Later on, tasteful bass and drum parts were added but Douye' kept Scott's beautiful accompaniment intact. "Round Midnight" and "In A Sentimental Mood" were performed with pianist-arranger John Beasley and a few of Los Angeles' top jazz players (saxophonist Bob Sheppard, bassist John Clayton and drummer Roy McCurdy). Check out Douye's deep-toned vocal on "'Round Midnight" and Beasley's emulation of Duke Ellington's piano playing on "In A Sentimental Mood" from Duke's famous collaboration with John Coltrane. Every performance has its special moments. The great guitarist Russell Malone not only arranged "Body And Soul" but organized a group that included trumpeter Jeremy Pelt and drummer Willie Jones III. "Autumn Leaves" (arranged by Angelo Metz as was "Besame Mucho")) and "Someone To Watch Over Me" (arranged by Phil Small and produced by Metz) find Douye' joined by the Kim Richmond Orchestra while the warm tenor-sax of Justo Almario co-stars on "Besame Mucho." Also included on Daddy Said So is a very spirited rendition of "Summertime" that was recorded in New York with a band of young Cuban Americans led by drummer-arranger Zack O'Farrill (the 21-year old son of Arturo O'Farrill).

Assessing the TP impact of the global IBOR transition
Stan Hales and Ralf Heussner consider the key challenges that the interbank offered rates (IBORs) reform faces from a transfer pricing (TP) perspective.
By Ralf Heussner
& By Stanley Hales
The replacement of existing IBORs with alternative reference rates (ARRs) is one of the most complex regulatory transformation programmes in recent times, affecting financial firms, corporations and credit market participants with IBOR exposure alike.
IBORs serve as an interest rate benchmark for trillions of dollars of financial instruments and are used as both performance and risk benchmarks. IBORs are closely embedded in the day-to-day activities of both providers and users of financial services, affecting existing and new financial products alike that range from derivatives, securitisations, mortgages, loans and bonds to floating rate notes.
In Europe, the Euro interbank offered rate (EURIBOR) and the Euro overnight index average (EONIA) have already started to transition to the Euro short-term rate (€STER), while the transition in other jurisdictions begins in 2021. In some markets, ARRs are already in use ahead of the transition deadlines and a significant share of debt issuances already refer to ARRs.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting market volatility and liquidity issues, has diverted attention from the IBOR transition. Regulators have acknowledged the challenges, but there are no indications of any plans to delay the transition or upcoming deadlines.
This article provides a TP perspective on the ongoing IBOR transition that focuses on the key challenges for related parties under common control and important takeaways for transition planning.
Reconciling between IBORs and ARRs
The IBOR transition is complex because of significant differences between ARRs and IBORs.
Typically, IBORs are unsecured interbank lending rates published for different maturity periods. IBORs are forward-looking rates, meaning that a borrower knows the interest rate on a loan at the beginning of the interest period. In contrast, ARRs are overnight indices, implying they are backward-looking and, therefore, lack a term rate structure and a yield curve.
Considering the novelty of ARRs and how they are constructed, financial regulators anticipate periods of market volatility and liquidity issues. Examples of this ARR volatility in three base rates, and a liquidity induced spike in the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) market, are shown in Figures 1 through 3.
These differences could result in tax risks, especially in situations where applying ARRs to legacy products/contracts leads to differences in valuations and, as such, triggers a cross-border transfer of value between different related taxpayers.
Figure 1: Comparison – EURIBOR to €STR
Figure 2: Comparison – London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) to sterling overnight index average (SONIA)
Figure 3: Comparison LIBOR to SOFR
Challenge one: Lack of a credit component
A key feature of IBORs is that they comprise both a risk-free rate and a credit risk premium that reflects the perceived credit risk of the panel banks that contribute to the published IBORs. This credit risk premium can also be described as a common bank funding cost.
One of the main technical questions of the IBOR transition is how to properly incorporate the bank risk premium into the ARRs for legacy contracts, given the lack of underlying credit transactions. The absence of a dynamic credit component for ARRs implies that ARRs are usually lower than IBORs (assuming the rate is term adjusted, unless the ARR is an unsecured rate). This difference will directly impact expected cash flows from legacy contracts/products on which they are based, i.e. a trade transitioning to ARRs may have a different market value over time than if it had been priced on IBOR. This will require changes to valuation tools, product design, hedging strategies and funding sources.
At this point, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has been the only body to address the topic of the credit risk component by soliciting feedback from market participants on potential remediation strategies. On January 13 2020, the ISDA published a fallback rate adjustments proposal that addressed issues arising from the key adjustments necessary to apply ARR fallbacks to existing IBOR contracts. The proposal is based on using historic data, with one option using five years of credit spreads before fallback provisions are triggered, to build a credit risk premium into ARRs.
The discussion on the credit risk component shows the technical complexity inherent to the IBOR transition. It is critical that taxpayers review existing financial products/contracts, not just with customers but also any group-internal arrangements. For any legacy products/contracts, a strategy must be determined on how to deal with the credit risk adjustment to avoid a potential valuation impact.
In addition, internal funding arrangements and funds transfer pricing (FTP) models also need to be revisited given their reliance on existing IBORs and the impact of the bank credit risk component.
Challenge two: Different term structure
IBORs are forward-looking by nature; also known as term rates, they are quoted for a basket of five currencies (USD, GBP, CHF, JPY and EUR) and seven tenors (overnight/spot next, one week, one month, two months, three months, six months and 12 months). As such, the IBOR is known at the start of the relevant interest period.
In contrast, ARRs are overnight rates published the following day and, therefore, are not known in advance. This means that determining a term rate based on ARRs requires significantly different mechanics to those used to determine IBORs.
Since 2019, the key focus by regulators, central banks and other bodies has been on whether it is possible to develop term rates derived from overnight ARRs. However, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) reiterated earlier this year that there are limitations to ARR-derived term rates, which may mean they are not the best choice for some markets. Several authorities have already emphasised that market participants should not delay their transition planning for a forward-looking term structure on ARRs to emerge, which is under discussion across key jurisdictions with potential proposals (mainly on compounded rates and indices) expected in 2021.
Similarly to the point mentioned earlier, it is also essential that banks review their internal funding arrangements and FTP models, given the uncertainty surrounding the term structure on ARRs, and how to properly reflect this in the pricing of maturity transformations.
Challenge three: Inter-company agreements and fallback clauses
The transition will give rise to practical challenges regarding how to (re)calibrate legacy contracts and inter-company agreements. This includes potential fallback provisions and the replacement of existing IBORs with ARRs (or transitional rates).
A fallback provision is a contract clause that determines what rate parties should use if the initially agreed upon benchmark rate (e.g. EURIBOR) is no longer available (either permanently or temporarily). Without a fallback, a party tied to a contract could potentially dispute actions taken in response to the unavailability of the referenced benchmark rate.
Fallback provisions are typically defined by the following three key elements that determine the application and the conditions applicable to the provision:
The trigger event defines the event (both permanent and temporary cessation events) and date when the fallback will be applied;
The fallback rate identifies the updated base reference rate; and
If the updated fallback rate provides an economically different outcome to the original rate, a spread adjustment needs to be included to avoid or minimise the transfer of value.
First, action is needed to address legacy contracts that do not contain any fallback clauses or do not have any mechanisms to efficiently allow for revising fallback language. Second, relying on fallback provisions may change product economics and create financial and operational risk, because such provisions are typically designed to deal with the temporary unavailability of reference rates, rather than their permanent cessation. Relying on updated fallback clauses could create operational risks (ranging from new/different fallback formulae to calculation of new interest payments and valuations).
Another key question is whether any amendments made to existing contracts (repapering) and the underlying financial instruments, whether the conversion of an IBOR-referencing contract to an ARR or the insertion of a new or adjusted fallback clause, would be considered as creating a new contract. This could be another key trigger for potential tax risks related to the potential exchange or realisation event for financial instruments, which must be monitored closely by taxpayers in the context of the IBOR transition.
Tax authority readiness
On October 8 2019, the US Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) were the first to release proposed regulations (REG-118784-18) (Proposed Regulations) providing guidance and relief on the tax consequences related to the IBOR transition. The Proposed Regulations primarily address whether changes to debt instruments and non-debt contracts that alter the reference rate (or include a fallback provision) trigger a deemed exchange of such debt instrument or non-debt contract that results in a tax-related realisation event.
Since the release of the Proposed Regulations, consultations have been ongoing but no specific progress has been made. Taxpayers should closely monitor any developments at the level of the local tax authorities on potential safe harbours or relief measures.
In order to manage the IBOR transition successfully, financial institutions should develop a transition plan. The following checklist is a starting point for key stakeholders across management, the business side, tax and legal.
Existing financial products or financing arrangements
Take an inventory of existing financial products (products sold to clients and/or hedging instruments) or financing arrangements that reference IBORs (if on floating rate basis). Differentiate between arrangements that mature before the transition at the end of 2021 and those that are affected by the transition (depending on underlying IBOR and potential transitional arrangements provided by regulators).
Examine legal agreements/contracts concerning fallback clauses
Perform an impact assessment and determine the possible change in value from the transition from IBOR to new risk-free rates.
Consider broader impact on treasury/asset and liability management (ALM) functions of banks concerning FTP.
Re-assessment of spreads considering differences between IBOR and ARRs, different term structures and compounding with potential impact on loan/product value.
Consider option for transition of floating into fixed-rate financing arrangements.
Consider the impact on financial accounts (fair value calculation, hedge accounting under proposed International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9).
New financing arrangements
Use new ARRs for new financial products (products sold to clients and/or hedging instruments) or financing arrangements.
Alert legal departments about appropriate adjustments to existing contracts for financial products or financing arrangements.
Check if using IBORs for price-testing purposes: the transition will produce practical challenges because historical data is not yet available for the new ARRs, while data for traditional IBORs will soon no longer be available.
Assess local tax authorities' response to the IBOR transition and potential guidance on tax implications.
Assess how to treat costs related to the IBOR transition for tax purposes and potential cost allocations between related parties to the transactions.
Consider how to treat costs related to the IBOR transition, since it will likely require significant investments in information technology/enterprise resource planning (IT/ERP) infrastructure, external advisors and internal projects. Financial services firms and corporations alike will need to determine the tax treatment of the transition costs, where/how to capture and allocate relevant costs, and what mark-ups to apply. They will also need to establish the legal basis for recharges between affiliates and update relevant TP documentation.
The transition from IBORs to ARRs is one of the most complex financial market transformation programmes in recent times. Considering that IBORs are so firmly embedded in the day-to-day activities of both providers and users of financial services (regulated and unregulated), all stakeholders must be involved in developing a transition plan.
The key technical challenges that need to be addressed relate to the differences in credit risk and term structure between IBORs, which impact the valuation of securities based on IBORs when pricing on the new ARRs, and the contractual basis of financial products/financing arrangements regarding fallback clauses in agreements.

Highlanders' Playoff Run Comes to a Halt
Granada Hills misses tying free throw with less than a second left against Crescenta Valley in Regional
The 2018-19 season at Granada Hills Charter High didn't start out as a magical one, with four losses in the first five games. But it ended up that way by winning a Los Angeles City Section championship in Division I, and continuing to play well in the state CIF Boys' Basketball Championships Division III playoffs.
That's why it was hard for the Highlanders to see the season end on Saturday, March 2, in the semifinals of the Southern California Regional. Despite being the No. 2 seed and hosting the game, Granada Hills was nudged out of the tournament by a 58-57 loss to Crescenta Valley High of La Crescenta, in a game that literally went down to the final second.
The Falcons (29-5) were clinging to a 58-55 lead when Highlanders senior guard Jesse Bannout was fouled from beyond the three-point line with 2.8 seconds left in regulation. Bannout had three free throws, and a chance to tie the score.
He missed the first, but made the second. Bannout then purposely missed the third attempt. The Highlanders got the rebound and Joel Carrillo, another senior guard, was fouled with six-tenths of a second remaining.
Carrillo was in a one-and-one free throw situation, meaning he had to make the first attempt to get the second try. He made the first. He missed the second. And time finally ran out on Granada Hills (19-13) and its season. A tough ending for the last City Section boys' team of note from the Valley in the state tournament.
The Highlanders — should they choose — could look at a variety of reasons as to why they were one point short.
They fell into an early hole, trailing 19-8 in the first quarter because of the Falcons' accurate shooting, especially from junior guard Tyler Carlson who would make five three-pointers in the game and lead the team with 17 points.
Still, Granada Hills' esteemed pressure and trapping defense worked a good part of the night, keeping the team close to the visitors after that early 11-point deficit, although Coach Don Loperena felt that quick start made the Highlanders give the Crescenta Valley offense a wide berth at times.
"We only created eight steals," Loperena said. "That was gonna be a big factor; [how much] could we turn them over. There were times our guys gave a little too much respect to their shooters. We had some outstanding trap situations we didn't take because they respected their shooters so much."
Granada Hills' offense ran hot-and-cold on the night. The worst cold spell came after having built a 50-45 lead with 5:08 left to play in the fourth quarter. Crescenta Valley then brokered a 10-0 run to move in front, 55-50, as the Highlanders missed six straight shot attempts during that stretch.
"They knocked down some huge shots with our guys in their eyes. Some big shots," Loperena said. "We countered with very little motion and very much one-on-one sets. Those few possessions were big. We needed to continue to make them move and think on defense. We got into too much of a one-on-one game."
And then there were the free throws. In that final 5:08, the Falcons made six of eight. The Highlanders made only three of seven.
"Our composure was great. We came back from 11 (points down), we took the lead. But we made some mistakes," said Bannout, who led Granada Hills with 18 points.
But, again, considering how the 2018-19 season started, this finish doesn't contaminate the spirit. The Highlanders can still enjoy having won their first City championship since 1987. That accomplishment will probably be honored during the next school year, and it should still resonate with fans and alumni for years after that.
"I'm a bit shocked," Bannout said afterward. "But I'm embracing everything. This was the last high school game I'm ever gonna play. I'm enjoying everything. Even though it was a loss, I'm embracing it.
"I'm gonna take with me the journey, the championship mentality that we had to go through. That's what I'm telling the guys. Keep their heads up; they're City champions. We had an opportunity to be state champions but we gotta move on."
Loperena also offered some perspective.
"What I'm most proud of: being the top seed in Division I in the City bracket and No. 2 in Division III bracket in the state," he said. "Unless you just have a stacked team, it is very hard to win as a No. 1 because everybody's coming for you.
"The guys fought off four athletic, solid teams to get that City championship. And they were No. 2 in the state, trying to fight everybody off. We just ran out of gas…but they can be very proud of that [City championship] the rest of their lives. And they made a nice state run as well."


Formerly the frontman of Vulture Whale, these days Wes McDonald is recording as Terry Ohms. This new effort was recorded in his home, and he played all instruments. Hell, he even did the artwork, released it on his own label, and created the visual work for the videos, making it the complete DIY package.
The nine tunes here all span different variations of McDonald's creative spirit, starting with the aptly titled "Mind Blow" where acoustic strumming and a hypnotic beat make it rugged folk-rocker that erupts into a stadium sized frenzy. Elsewhere, things get funky, danceable and dark on "We Love You", and that theme runs parallel on the post-punk ideas of "Bring All To Front". An album with a lot of heart, "Those Eyes" is an example of his soulful rock tendencies, and he saves the best for last with the crisp percussion and cautious alt-rock sensibilities of "Little Bit".
A very unassuming album, don't let this one pass you by- it's an early candidate for one of the year's best.

La physique numérique (ou parfois physique informatique) est l'étude et l'implémentation d'algorithmes numériques dans le but de résoudre des problèmes physiques pour lesquels une théorie existe déjà. Elle est souvent considérée comme une sous-discipline de la physique théorique mais certains la considèrent comme une branche intermédiaire entre la physique théorique et la physique expérimentale.

En général, les physiciens définissent un système et son évolution grâce à des formules mathématiques précises. Il arrive souvent que la solution des équations basées sur les principes de la physique fondamentale ne soit pas adaptée à la description du système. Ceci est particulièrement vrai dans le cas de la mécanique quantique, où seulement une poignée de modèles simples possèdent des solutions analytiques complètes. Dans les cas où les systèmes ont seulement des solutions numériques, des calculs numériques sont employés.

Domaines d'application
Les calculs numériques sont employés couramment, notamment dans le cadre de la physique du solide, de la mécanique des fluides, de la théorie quantique des champs, de la théorie de la mesure, et dans bien d'autres secteurs. En physique du solide, par exemple, l'outil informatique est employé avec la théorie fonctionnelle de densité afin de calculer des propriétés des solides ; les chimistes utilisent une méthode semblable pour étudier les molécules. En physique du solide, l'organisation électronique de la matière, les propriétés magnétiques et les densités électroniques de charge peuvent être calculées par plusieurs méthodes, y compris par calcul numérique et les méthodes ab initio (via différentes théories et/ou méthodes).

Beaucoup d'autres problèmes numériques plus généraux se retrouvent inévitablement dans le domaine de la physique numérique, bien qu'ils pourraient être considérés comme des problèmes purement mathématiques. Ceux-ci sont :
 Résolution des équations ;
 Évaluation d'intégrales ;
 Méthodes stochastiques, particulièrement la méthode de Monte Carlo ;
 Méthodes des équations différentielles partielles, par exemple la méthode des différences finies et la méthode des éléments finis ;
 Le calcul de valeurs propres et leurs vecteurs propres correspondants pour des matrices très grandes. Par exemple : l'état propre en physique quantique). On peut utiliser la méthode de la puissance itérée ;
 La méthode pseudo-spectrale.

Toutes ces méthodes et plusieurs autres sont employées pour calculer les propriétés physiques des systèmes à modéliser ou à simuler. La physique numérique couvre également la conception de logiciel et le paramétrage de structures informatiques (réseau, cluster) pour résoudre les problèmes. En général, la résolution de ces problèmes peut nécessiter des ressources informatiques importantes, notamment en ce qui concerne les capacités de mémoire et de l'unité de traitement des données (processeur).

FEAR : a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger.
Fear is a feeling that comes upon you when you are about to be exposed to harm. Suddenly you just know it is coming. This is the moment you should ACT to remove yourself from harm. This is danger from injury to yourself from another that ends in harm, risk or peril. Danger can be physical, mental, emotion and spiritual. This FEAR is valid and we should listen to it. Act upon it. ACT!
ANXIETY: distress or uneasiness of mind caused by fear of danger.
Anxiety is the distress of mind that happens when no real danger is evident but you are in a similar situation that reminds you of a fearful situation. This is what most people think is fear. This is the feeling we don't want to feel. Anxiety comes to keep us from speaking the truth. It keeps us from doing what we would do if we had so-called "no-fear". Standing up to speak in front of a group. Starting a business. Confronting wrong. This is the place where "fear" of rejection comes into play, we don't do what we would normally do if anxiety wasn't present.
WORRY: to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts.
Worry is the tormenting recall and imagination in the mind when you are thinking about dangerous situations. This is the place of mulling over all the "fears" we have. There is no immediate danger. There is no similar situation going on. It is purely happening in the mind. WHAT IF's? What if I tell her how I really feel? Will she hear me? Will she get angry with me? What if I don't go to that party? Will they think bad of me? Will they think I think I am too good for all that? Regrets and If I only's….This is just MENTAL TORTURE!!
PANIC: a sudden overwhelming fear, with or without cause, that produces hysterical or irrational behavior causing one to flee or to lose self-control.
Panic is when you suddenly stop listening to what you know and you begin to fight in your mind about what you know and you lose your way, you lose your self-control and behave without rationality. This is when you REACT to what is going on around you without thought. Someone says something to you and you REACT without clarifying what is being said or identifying what is the issue. You just think you know. You REACT in defense with no true cause (no real action) and that is irrational behavior – that is loss of self-control.
ACT and REACT –these words have been on my mind for a few weeks.
When we ACT we are making a deliberate movement toward a goal or some end by gathering the necessary information to make a affect. To affect is to produce a cause.
REACT is completely different. It is responding to what we hear,see,think, or feel with or without understanding. It is being effected by the cause of some outside of us action.
So as people who are here in this world to be of service to our Lord. We are to AFFECT FOR GOOD BY RIGHT ACTION. We are not supposed to be REACTING IN IGNORANCE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE TRUTH OF THE SITUATION. We are to be DEALING WITH THE ISSUE.
It seems to me that much of the "fear" of being who we are, speaking the truth, doing what God has called us to do is really anxiety and worry.
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ( definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
Fear is to escape from DANGER by Action (The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom) It keeps us from danger to Act on His words.
Worry and Anxiety are to remind us to PRAY (cast your care upon the Lord) Trust in Him!!
Panic is not to be among us. It is a mode of REACTION. An automatic physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual defense mode.
When we do not think (ie.-reacting) instead of dealing with the issue… in our reaction we often attack each other…???
On that day men will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. Each man will seize the hand of another, and they will attack each other.
No time is the perfect time to PANIC!!!
ITs the time to ACT and PRAY!!
I often talk about acting vs. reacting….you're right….HUGE difference! And that difference could be just the thing that gets us in a whole lot of trouble! And the other things you mentioned….fear, anxiety, worry, panic….I"m a little familiar with them all…..thank God that He is bigger than any of them and can deliver us from them all! 🙂 We must keep our eyes on Him.


A month ago I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley from Beulah, and quickly I could tell how comfortable she felt in front of the camera. She totally rocked it! Whether striking a serious mood downtown or dancing in the fields at sun down, she was a natural. Thanks so much for letting me get creative and capture some amazing moments.

The former Baltimore Ravens player is invested in several types of cannabis-related businesses and advocates medical marijuana treatment for athletes.
BROOMFIELD, COLORADO—My foursome and I were delightfully stoned and evaluating our approach shots at the Omni Interlocken Golf Club earlier this week when I recognized a familiar figure approaching on the cart path. His hulking frame barely fit into the cart, but his smile made it clear he was enjoying the picturesque afternoon during the second annual Laurel Rosebud Golf Invitational.
"How're you hitting today, Eugene?" I shouted his way after my teammates had finished with their wedges.
"I've had a couple good hits today," Eugene Monroe retorted, evoking a chorus of giggles among a crew that understood he wasn't talking about hitting golf balls.
As an offensive tackle on the formidable Baltimore Ravens, Monroe was still pummeling the NFL's top defenses when he made his first investment in a cannabis company. But perhaps his most prominent non-athletic claim to fame came in March of 2016 when he became the first active NFL player to advocate for the use of cannabis to treat sports-related injuries and chronic pain.
Since his first cannabis investment in 2015, Monroe has significantly expanded his financial interests in the space. He's now part of several marijuana-related companies, ranging from dispensaries and cultivation facilities to weed-based technology brands.
While all of Monroe's predecessors, including Ricky Williams, Jake Plummer and Nate Jackson, waited until they were retired before speaking out on behalf of the plant, Monroe called out the league for its drug testing policy when he was still playing. He was cut by the Ravens in June 2016, a few months after his first pro-pot interview. The team said the move had nothing to do with his advocacy, but Monroe wondered if it might have.
Now a year after Monroe's official retirement from the NFL he is considered among the most impactful voices in the conversation surrounding medical cannabis and professional sports. He's a board member on the NFL Players Association Pain Management Committee and also the athletic ambassador for Doctors for Cannabis Regulation.
And that explains why Monroe was roaming the links as a guest of honor at the Denver-adjacent golf tournament earlier this week. The event, organized by the pro-drug reform Laurel Rosebud Fund, benefited Doctors for Cannabis Regulation and Students for Sensible Drug Policy.
And about 24 hours after our run-in on the golf course, Monroe was sitting across from me in my content agency's Denver offices discussing his ongoing advocacy work and his multiplying investments in the legal cannabis space.
"I got involved with this company while I was still in the NFL," Monroe said, referencing Green Thumb Industries, a group currently selling or growing marijuana in five states. "They were looking to start operations in Maryland, and I was looking to invest in the industry at that time.
It's important to note here that Monroe was no ordinary athlete, especially since offensive linemen rarely have their names spelled out in headlines. In high school Monroe was ranked third nationwide and graduated in the Top 10 of his class. He was a unanimous All-ACC player at the University of Virginia, and he was drafted eighth overall in the first round of the 2009 draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who later traded him to the Super Bowl champion Ravens in 2013.
When Monroe was cut by Baltimore in 2016, he was set to make $6.5 million that season.
GTI currently operates Rise, a dispensary in Carson City, Nevada - and another Rise will soon open in Silver Spring, Md., only a half hour's drive from the new Columbia, Md., house Monroe, his wife and three kids will soon move into. Medically legal Silver Spring also shares a border with recreationally legal Washington D.C., though D.C. dispensaries only offer medical sales as the district's adult-use regulations don't include the sale of retail cannabis.
GTI is also involved in a high-profile lawsuit after suing the state of Maryland when its top-ranked application to grow cannabis in the state was bumped to achieve geographic diversity.
Monroe is also involved in a few other cannabis ventures, including his investments in desktop vaporizer outfit Vapexhale and online marijuana education platform Green Flower Media.
"If somebody's made a (vaporizer) device, I've probably tried it because I'm always looking for an experience that will be effective, that's easy to use and that I can titrate the need for using cannabis because I don't want to overuse it - and the Vapexhale was the product I was looking for all along," Monroe said. "Furthermore I'm a nerd and I'm into technology, and cannabis technology is cool.
Monroe has some non-cannabis investments, too, including a real estate project that is helping to revitalize a South Baltimore neighborhood right behind M&T Bank Stadium, home to his former teammates still with the Ravens.
When asked about the differences between investing in a real estate project and investing in a plant-touching cannabis business, Monroe took a brief moment to gather his thoughts.
"You have to do your due diligence more with cannabis businesses," he said. "Otherwise it's no different than any other business in my eyes, but there are some issues in cannabis that are very specific to cannabis businesses.


Preserving digital objects requires preservation of not only their bit-level representation but also their intelligibility. To this end a digital object should be associated with metadata appropriate for interpreting that object; such metadata are often referred as representation information. Even such metadata may not be intelligible, however, so we may have to associate them with extra metadata, and so on. This paper approaches this problem by introducing an abstract model comprising modules and dependencies. Community knowledge is formalized over the same model by introducing the notion of profile. This notion is then exploited for deciding representation information adequacy (during input) and intelligibility (during output). Subsequently some general dependency management services for identifying and filling intelligibility gaps during input and output are described and analysed. Finally a prototype system based on these ideas is described.

Home Investigations Next Edition Report: FEC Deliberated On Calabar Itu Road –SGF Mustapha
Ufford Wilson
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF) Boss Mustapha Tuesday said the deplorable state of Calabar Itu Road has been discussed at the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
Mr. Mustapha made this known while addressing a Two-Day Security Summit of the South-south Traditional Rulers Forum in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
NEXT EDITION had published the first part of an investigative report which showed the federal Trunk A 4 highway linking Akwa Ibom and Cross River states has totally collapsed.
The report also traced the difficulties encountered by commuters and communities located along the abandoned highway.
But the SGF told the traditional rulers and other leaders of the South-south that the Federal Government will soon carry out remediation work on the road.
"I can attest to the fact that Calabar-Itu road was discussed last week in the Federal Executive Council meeting when the Minister for Works gave a report on the condition of our federal roads. I can assure you that the road will soon receive the necessary remediation," Mr. Mustapha said.

The SGF further expressed the willingness of President Muhammadu Buhari to engage traditional institutions in promoting peaceful coexistence among Nigerians.
He commended the traditional rulers in the region for ensuring peace prevailed in their domains, noting that the peace in the Niger Delta has positively impacted the nation's economy.
"I commend the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) for their efforts. Mr President continues to acknowledge the place of the traditional rulers in building peace in the country," the SGF said.
"The traditional rulers hold the key to the success or failure of the society because they directly relate with the people. The peace of the Niger Delta region is the peace of the entire nation."
Mr. Mustapha insisted that the government was serious about the war on corruption and called on Nigerians to live above board.
Continuing, he said, "The ICPC through my office, recently organized a summit on nipping corruption. Government is determined to wrestle corruption, especially concerning constituency projects which is funded by the federal government. Traditional rulers must be aware of the locations of the projects.
"We have allowed suspicion to dominate our thinking because of religion and ethnicity. This should not be the case.
"Let us shun the primordial sentiments capable of destroying us as a people. I am impressed with the manner the NCTRN is taking up security concerns. This is just one of the rotational summits on the issue. I assure you that my office will keep working with the NCTRN."
Earlier in his welcome address, the Chairman, Akwa Ibom State Council of Chiefs, Nteyin Solomon Etuk had said a peaceful and healthy South-south region is needed for the economic wellbeing of Nigeria.
He described as apt, the theme of the summit, "Creating Synergy with the Governments of the South-south States towards ensuring a peaceful and Crime-free South-south zone."
The monarch, who is also the Oku Ibom Ibibio (Patriarch of Ibibio people worldwide) also called on policymakers to adopt programmes that would ensure improved security in the region.
"A peaceful and healthy South-south geopolitical region is germane to Nigeria's economic wellbeing. It is therefore of great importance to work towards guaranteeing a crime-free South-south region through improved security network as well as good policies and programmes that meet the needs of the people."
The summit which was attended by monarchs across the region was chaired by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, and was declared open by the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel.
