Humala's popularity sinks as Peru gets 7th PM in four years
April 13, 2015 Kevin Lees	Leave a comment
It's become a political law of gravity in Peru in the past 15 years that the popularity of its elected presidents drops as each five-year term ends.
That's irrelevant for the current president, Ollanta Humala, since Peruvian presidents aren't eligible for reelection to two consecutive terms. But a week after opposition parties in Peru's Congreso de la República (Congress of the Republic) forced Humala's prime minister Ana Jara to step down amid a internal spying scandal, Humala was obligated to appoint the seventh prime minister of his administration.
Although the Peruvian president functions both as head of state and head of government, the prime minister heads the executive cabinet, and the appointment of Pedro Cateriano launched yet another reshuffle in the Humala administration as voters seem to be souring on Humala in the fourth of his five-year term. The Congress voted on March 30 to censure Jara in relation to allegations that Peru's intelligence agency, the Dirección Nacional de Inteligencia (DINI), was spying on opposition politicians, journalists and businessmen.
Despite fears during the 2011 election that Humala, a leftist and former army officer, would lead Peru in a populist direction in the manner of socialist governments in Ecuador, Cuba and Venezuela, Humala instead pursued the same liberal, pro-market economic policies of all Peruvian administrations since the 1990s. Nevertheless, as commodities prices drop, GDP growth projections are falling in a country where gold, zinc and copper mining undergirded some of the fastest economic growth in the world throughout the 2000s. It's the same problem that Chile, Peru's Pacific neighbor to the south and also a prolific copper exporter, is facing. The difference is that GDP per capita is just over twice as high in Chile as in Peru, a country of just over 31 million that is still struggling to rise to the same level of development as Chile, Mexico and other leaders in Latin America. Nevertheless, Humala failed earlier this year to implement even a watered-down labor market reform designed to make it easier for young graduates to find work.
With growth forecasts slowing, however, it's not enough that Humala has pursued continuity in economic policymaking. His failure to reform Peru's economy, combined with an expected slowdown (if not an outright recession), will make it difficult for Humala's allies to maintain power in 2016. In Peru, a country without firmly settled political parties, however, it's a question whether Humala is still a man of the political left. Though liberal reformers believe Humala's accomplishments are tepid, he's now closer to Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa than the traditional left. For example, Humala has struggled throughout his administration to respond to the economic, labor rights and environmental complaints of Peru's mining workers.
Gana Perú (Peru Wins), the leftist electoral coalition that formed to support Humala's candidacy in 2011, claims that it will still field a candidate in the upcoming 2016 vote. The party remains the largest bloc in the unicameral Congress, having won 47 out of 130 seats at the last election. That number, however, has fallen due to defections over the years. Humala's wife, Nadine Heredia, was forced to disavow any presidential ambitions in the middle of her husband's term, and any majestic hopes evaporated with fresh allegations in February of corruption and money laundering, a familiar refrain in a country where former president Alejandro Toledo is also under a cloud of suspicion for corruption and may yet face criminal charges. Humala's popular former interior minister, Daniel Urresti, was forced to resign in February after his indictment for the murder of Hugo Bustios in 1988 when Urresti was involved in the fight against Senedero Luminoso (Shining Path).
That means that the leaders in the 2016 field, for now, are the runners-up to Humala from the 2011 field. Polls today show that Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former president Alberto Fujimori, leads the field, followed in second place by Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a liberal who served as a former prime minister and economy minister. Fujimori's candidacy was controversial in 2011 because of fears that she would pardon her father, who remains in prison on human rights abuses, potentially undermining the rule of law and encouraging impunity in the future. Humala has consistently refused to release Fujimori from prison, and the former dictator's health has declined so much that the pardon issue may lack the same relevance in 2016. Proving the rule of the lingering unpopularity of Peruvian presidents, both Toledo and former president Alan García poll far behind. Fujimori's record is still controversial in Peru, where supporters believe his economic reforms put Peru on the path to stable inflation and GDP growth and opponents point to his disrespect for democracy, the rule of law and human rights. His daughter, Keiko Fujimori, seems more committed to democratic Peru, though her frontrunner status in 2016 means that Peruvians could spend more time hand-wringing about the past than envisioning the future.
One possibility is Luis Castañeda, who returned to the mayor's office in Lima last October and who has already run for the Peruvian presidency twice. The pragmatism and pro-development agenda of his first two terms as mayor between 2003 and 2010, appealed to the Peruvian business community. So far, however, Castañeda has spent much of his third term seemingly engaged in settling scores with his immediate predecessor, the more leftist Susana Villarán, instead of establishing a platform for a third presidential campaign in 2016.

Killin' For A Livin'
© Copyright - 1220 / 1220 (884501138413)
Wunderkinds of the Knoxville TN local scene, their latest album was recorded by the famed Don Coffey Jr. (Superdrag), the band has set out to cover new territory by incorporating a perfected power pop shimmer into its already electrifying sound.
Genre: Rock: Rock & Roll
1. Local Girls
2:47 album only
2. Get It Out (Kimmy)
3. The Motor Mile
4. So Far
5. Feel Young
6. Just Wait

8. Alright Uptight
9. Funky Junk
10. Iron In the Fire
11. Roll With It
12. Melody Rain
13. Xenobia
1220 bring echos of the seventies style of rock, but with a good dose of their own swaggering style. With the rock-solid rhythm section of Bill Van Vleet and Michael Cover anchoring the twin guitar attack of Nick Kurtz and Ricky Dover, Jr. this band has the power to back up vocalist Jacob Gibson's soaring vocal lines. Take the unpredictability of early Aerosmith, and mix a little bit of Led Zeppelin and T. Rex, and add a little Motley spice, and you've got a band that sounds a bit like 1220.
Formed in Knoxville in 2001, the band released a their first self-titled CD in 2005. After going through a lineup change in 2006, the band recorded the "Miss Legendary" EP, with former Superdrag drummer turned recording uber-god Don Coffey, Jr. at the controls. But now with their latest effort, "Killin for a Livin'" finds the wunderkinds of the Knoxville TN local scene, set out to cover new territory by incorporating a perfected power pop shimmer into its already electrifying sound. With every show, in every city, 1220 keeps turning heads with their infectious high-energy shows. Once you see the band live, you'll never forget it, and there's no better time than right now.
So what are you waiting for? Get off your ass and go see 1220!

Chabad & Hillel staff, Federation staff & officers recovering from Covid-19
By Marshall Weiss, The Dayton Jewish Observer
Montgomery County's increased Covid-19 cases have impacted three local Jewish community organizations: Chabad, Hillel Academy, and the Jewish Federation.
At the end of November, three rabbis with Chabad and two of their wives began testing positive for Covid-19: Chabad Directors Rabbi Nochum and Devorah Mangel, Rabbi Levi and Rochel Simon, and Rabbi Shmuel Klatzkin.
Rabbi Nochum Mangel
Devorah Mangel
According to a statement Chabad distributed Dec. 17, "Our brush with Covid-19 is mostly behind us. We have been told by our health experts that we had contracted a severe case of the virus, which caused high fever, difficulty breathing, chest pains, and general weakness and fatigue. After more than two weeks, our doctors believe that we are all in recovery and can now focus on regaining our full strength so that we may continue our holy work."
Since Chabad's staff tested positive for Covid, all in-person worship services and programs have been discontinued until further notice; Rabbi Elchonon Chaikin, who did not test positive for Covid, led Chabad's Chanukah programs online.
Chabad has conducted Shabbat and Yom Tov (holiday) services in person with social distancing procedures in place since reopening May 29 following statewide shutdowns that began in mid-March at the urging of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
"We are continually consulting with medical professionals about the Covid-19 protocol for Chabad," the statement continued. "We will update you regarding the reopening of our center, whether for services, in-person classes, or programs, as soon as they believe it is safe to do so, and we have all tested negative for Covid-19."
Hillel Academy
Chabad's Rochel and Levi Simon are also instructors at Hillel Academy Jewish day school: she teaches the younger children Judaics, he teaches the older children Judaics along with math for fifth and sixth grades.
Rabbi Levi Simon
Rochel Simon
Levi Simon was able to teach his classes virtually from home until Hillel's last day before winter break, Dec. 18; Rochel Simon provided lesson plans for those covering her classes.
Forty students are enrolled at Hillel from kindergarten through grade six in four multi-age classrooms. Since the school year began in August, parents of seven Hillel students have opted for online classes via Zoom.
"We have additional families that think they've been exposed, so out of an abundance of caution, they've had their children at home," said Hillel's head of curriculum and instruction, Kathy Mecoli. "As for attendance, I would say we're averaging 65 to 70 percent in-person attendance since Thanksgiving."
Mecoli said the school plans to open Jan. 4 for in-person learning for most children, and online for those students "whose families have made that choice, as well as for children who may need to quarantine."
"I don't ever read anything that says this is getting better this winter," Mecoli said. "We were doing absolutely fine until Thanksgiving. I don't think this is related to anything anyone was doing. The spread is just much greater in the community. I think that's going to continue at least through January. Our intention is to be open, but we also don't want to be in the sort of a scramble that we were in (at the beginning of December)."
To help fill in teaching gaps, Hillel has hired a full-time substitute teacher for the rest of the school year.
Jewish Federation
Along with the Simons, another Hillel family in quarantine was that of Dr. Heath Gilbert, president of the Jewish Federation.
Dr. Heath Gilbert
"Going through Covid with my family," Gilbert said, "I'm struck by two things: the incredible commitment to the highest safety standards in our children's educational programs at Hillel and the JCC's preschool, and the importance for all of us to keep following the safety guidelines medical professionals recommend: wear a mask, keep safe distances, keep washing your hands, stay home as much as you can."
The Federation's president-elect and vice president of personnel, Mary Rita Weissman — who also serves as chair of the Dayton Jewish Foundation — was also recovering from Covid along with her husband.
Two Jewish Federation employees who have worked from home since March have also contracted Covid. And the Jewish Community Center, an agency of the Jewish Federation, has cancelled its in-person winter camp program in favor of an online model.
Since October, the JCC preschool has had two children who tested positive for Covid-19 and were quarantined.
Cathy Gardner, CEO of the Jewish Federation, said the JCC continues to operate its Early Childhood program at limited capacity (65 children currently enrolled), as an essential-care service to the community.
"During this pandemic, our priority has and will continue to be the safety of our community and staff," Gardner said. "From the very beginning, we have diligently followed if not exceeded recommendations from the Ohio Department of Health and the CDC. Many of our preschool parents are essential workers. Without the preschool, these parents would not have the childcare services necessary for them to continue to work and provide for their families.
"Knowing this, it was essential that we resumed our Early Childhood program as soon as it was deemed safe. Thanks to our amazing staff — who meticulously follow safety protocols — and the cooperation of our wonderful preschool families, we have been able to avoid any Covid-19 outbreaks thus far."

The i-frame and the s-frame
June 8, 2022 June 7, 2022 AshishLeave a comment
If the plastics industry is following the tobacco industry's playbook, it may never admit to the failure of plastics recycling. Although we may not be able to stop them from trying to fool us, we can pass effective laws to make real progress. Single-use-plastic bans reduce waste, save taxpayer money spent on disposal and cleanup, and reduce plastic pollution in the environment.
Consumers can put pressure on companies to stop filling store shelves with single-use plastics by not buying them and instead choosing reusables and products in better packaging. And we should all keep recycling our paper, boxes, cans, and glass, because that actually works.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/05/single-use-plastic-chemical-recycling-disposal/661141/
Those are the concluding paragraphs from a write-up in the Atlantic about how plastic manufacturing firms have been, shall we say, less than perfectly honest about their ability to actually recycle plastic.
You may or may not agree about the harm done to the environment due to singe-use plastics, but for the purpose of this blog post, please assume that this is a problem you want to try and mitigate. How might you go about it?
Chater and Loewenstein say that behavioral economists and policymakers have been getting it all wrong:
An influential line of thinking in behavioral science, to which the two authors have long subscribed, is that many of society's most pressing problems can be addressed cheaply and effectively at the level of the individual, without modifying the system in which individuals operate. Along with, we suspect, many colleagues in both academic and policy communities, we now believe this was a mistake. Results from such interventions have been disappointingly modest. But more importantly, they have guided many (though by no means all) behavioral scientists to frame policy problems in individual, not systemic, terms: to adopt what we call the "i-frame," rather than the "s-frame." The difference may be more consequential than those who have operated within the i-frame have understood, in deflecting attention and support away from s-frame policies. Indeed, highlighting the i-frame is a long-established objective of corporate
opponents of concerted systemic action such as regulation and taxation. We illustrate our argument, in depth, with the examples of climate change, obesity, savings for retirement, and pollution from plastic waste, and more briefly for six other policy problems. We argue that behavioral and social scientists who focus on i-level change should consider the secondary effects that their research can have on s-level changes. In addition, more social and behavioral scientists should use their skills and insights to develop and implement value-creating system level change.
Chater, N., & Loewenstein, G. (2022). The i-frame and the s-frame: How focusing on the individual-level solutions has led behavioral public policy astray. Available at SSRN 4046264.
This is, in a sense, a continuation of yesterday's post. The point of this paper, the one we're discussing today is to say that we, as a society, have begun to think of i-frame solutions as substituting for s-frame solutions, rather than complementing them. And that, the authors say, is quite problematic.
Problematic for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that an excessive dependence on i-frame solutions can make it less likely that complementary s-frame solutions will be adopted. In addition, i-frame solutions in and of themselves tend to have either no, or close to no effects.
Worse, the idea that i-frame solutions may be enough in and of themselves, the authors say, is an idea that may well have been pushed on us by corporations:
Readers who see waste as a matter of individual responsibility may be surprised, as we were, to discover that this i-frame perspective can be traced to the influence of industry. Consider, for example, the 'Keep America Beautiful' PR campaign that baby-boomers will have had drilled into them, including the highly successful 'Crying Indian' ad – both about how individuals have a duty to pick up cans and bottles (Mann, 2021: 52-60). In the ad, an actor in Native American dress paddles a birch bark canoe on water that becomes increasingly polluted, pulls his boat ashore and walks toward a bustling freeway where a passenger hurls a paper bag out a car window. The ad concludes with an encapsulation of the i-frame perspective "People start pollution. People can stop it." The ad, and the "Keep America Beautiful" campaign, which began in the 1950s and remains ubiquitous 70 years later, was actually the product of beverage and packaging corporations such as the American Can Co. and the Owens-Illinois Glass Co., later joined by corporations such as Coca-Cola and Dixie Cup.
Again, you may or may not agree that it is 'big bad evil' corporations that have been pushing these i-frame solutions upon us, and I myself tend to fall (surprise, surprise) somewhere in the middle. But I think it makes sense to think about whether one should exclusively push for i-frame solutions or think about some mixture of the two.
The paper covers much more ground across a very broad spectrum of topics, including healthcare and education, and I would strongly encourage you to read the whole paper. The point that I personally have taken away is a point that I am not entirely unfamiliar with – but it remains a point worth reiterating – that behavioral economics is a complement. Or as yesterday's post puts it, it is the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.
For a change, I'll quote the conclusion, but disagree with it:
Although today we see s-frame interventions as the path forward for behavioral public policy,
we, and many other behavioral scientists, previously had a very different picture in mind: that,
even where s-frame reform was required, a focus on additional i-frame interventions could only
help. But if the right s-frame solutions were available but not implemented all along, it is likely
that behavioral scientists' enthusiasm for the i-frame has actively reduced attention to, and
support for, systemic reform, as corporations interested in blocking change intend. We have been
unwitting accomplices to forces opposed to helping create a better society.
The reasons I disagree with it?
I honestly think behavioral economics has done more good than harm. I agree that the field may well have become a little overrated in the recent past, but on the whole, I think it to still be A Good Thing.
I don't think i-frame solutions have been (unwitting or otherwise) accomplices in the move to downplay s-frame solutions. Nor do I think that corporations have as nefarious a role to play as this paper seems to suggest. Don't get me wrong: I don't think corporations are 'good', but nor do I think they're 'bad'. The people who run them respond to their perceived incentives, just like you and I do.
But all that being said, a paper that introspects deeply about a topic that the authors care about as much as Loewenstein and Chater do is a wonderful one to read, and I strongly encourage you to do so.

The SUM project was a three-year research study exploring the skills important for learning maths. It was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The project started in January 2012 and finished in August 2015. The researchers who ran the study are based at Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham.
The aim of our project was to discover which general skills are involved in different aspects of learning and doing maths. This will help us to understand why some children find maths easy, and other children struggle.
All publications arising from the project can be found on the outputs page. We have also produced information sheets for both parents and teachers based on the findings from the project.
There were three main aims of our project. The first was to discover how executive function skills (e.g. manipulating information in memory, flexible thinking, ignoring distractions) are involved in factual, procedural and conceptual maths knowledge.
The second was to distinguish between the skills needed for learning new mathematical material and those needed for performing already‐learned mathematical operations. Finally, we explored how the role of executive function skills changes as children grow older and become more proficient in maths. We used a variety of different research methods, including measuring children's individual performance on experimental tasks as well as studying learning in the classroom, to achieve these aims.

"We've had plenty of support working with BRG and don't feel like 'just another client'."
They've given us the confidence to make well-informed decisions with the advice they've given us - and it has paid off. We've used that advice to move forward with our business planning, and they also recommend the right tools and support to help us get to where we want to be. This means we've taken steps with the business that we may not have done otherwise.
That guidance in the right direction comes with the fact BRG have a breadth of farming knowledge - we feel they understand the specific requirements our business needs to succeed.
We'd tried other firms, but not one had the Dairy knowledge of BRG; obviously it makes sense for us to work with a Company that really understands our industry.
We receive ongoing support in adopting and utilising new Technology to push the business to further success.
They have given us consistently high service - we find them to be very prompt to respond, and attentive to our needs.
Even though one of the main benefits for us is BRG's knowledge of the faming industry, we would recommend them to any business looking for the full package when it comes to Accounting support - we find them to be very professional, thorough and we always get great, friendly communication from all the staff we deal with there.

This vintage draws on two distinct vineyard sources which complement each other superbly: Artesas Estate Vineyard and the Sangiacomo Vineyard. A wine from these two distinct sources is very unique, creating a bright and intricate wine that is hard to find. Furthermore, fermenting a percentage of the wine in new french oak puncheons added another layer of complexity, enhancing the unique texture of this wine. This unique Pinot Noir displays intense aromas of red fruit (strawberry, cherry and rhubarb), layered with white pepper and vanilla bean. On the palate, flavors of raspberry, cherry, blueberry and a touch of caramel. The oak is beautifully integrated and the wine displays a long, elegant finish.
The grapes were hand harvested at night, over the month of September of 2016, as each block achieved perfect ripeness. Once at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and given a four-day cold soak, in order to gently extract color and flavor from the delicate skinned Pinot Noir. Fermenting most of the wine in open-top fermenters, Winemaker Ana Diogo-Draper also fermented about 25% of the juice in French puncheons. All components underwent three daily punchdowns while fermenting. When the wine was dry it was placed in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels (50% new barrels and 50% seasoned) for 11 months of aging. The wine components were racked only once, at blending.
The majority of the fruit sourced to make this years vintage is from the higher elevation blocks from our Estate Vineyard. Here the lightly textured silt loam soils naturally regulate vine vigor and as a result Pinot Noir from these blocks displays immense concentration and fruit intensity. The remaining portion of the blend was sourced from the highly regarded Sangiacomo Vineyard in Sonoma Carneros, where clay/loam soils mixed with rocks and shale produce a Pinot Noir of concentration and elegance.
Bud break arrived early this year as we had signs of bud break around valentines day and it was a much cooler and foggy season up until August. We didnt get the outrageous high heat in July, August or September, which provided for a longer hang time for the grapes. Overall, quality is high even though we fought of some botrytis pressure The grapes ripened uniformly and calmly at their own pace, while yields were a tad higher mostly because we added some new pruning techniques, the flavors are phenomenal. The harvest was smooth and progressed from in its own dimension some varietals sooner than others but mostly beacuse of lower yields in bordeauxs . For the white wines, they are crisp and allow you to taste the coolness of the season. Its was interesting some of the grapesfrom the cooler areas Carneros compared to the warmer parts of St. Helena were harvested at the same time.

Series: Daniel/Revelation for Beginners
Vision Within a Vision
By Mike Mazzalongo Posted: Wed. Jan 22nd 2014
Aside from the four main visions recorded in Daniel's book, he makes additional prophecies that give more detailed accounts of what took place between the major events mentioned in the four initial visions.

One idea that we have learned about Daniel's book is that the central or recurring idea is the rise and fall of four great earthly kingdoms which are permanently replaced by God's kingdom.
The original vision of this is contained in Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the great statue. In subsequent visions Daniel will return to this prophecy and give more details about these kingdoms but use different symbols to describe them.
The Medo-Persian Empire: chest of silver with two arms in Nebuchadnezzar's dream; bear with ribs in his mouth in first vision; ram with two horns in second vision.
Greece: belly and hips of brass in Nebuchadnezzar's dream; leopard with wings in first vision and a he-goat with horn in the second vision.
As we move through a variety of images, symbols and characters, let us remember that he is always describing the rise and fall of these kingdoms and the coming of the church.
Daniel 8 – Struggle for power
The eighth chapter describes in more detail the struggle for power between the second and third kingdoms, Medo-Persia and Greece. These are presented as a two horned ram for the Medo-Persian Empire with the two horns representing its nature, and a very swift he-goat with one horn representing Alexander's speedy victories.
The he-goat charges and destroys the ram which describes Greece's victory over the Medes some two hundred years before either nation confronted each other.
Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.
- Daniel 8:8
This passage prophesizes what happened after Alexander's death as his four generals divided and took control of his kingdom.
Verses 9 through 27 describe the rise of a smaller horn which would attack God's people and blaspheme God. I explained earlier that prophecies can have primary, secondary and final fulfillment. (Primary: in Daniel's lifetime; secondary: in the future sometime; final: specifically at the end of time). This prophecy can have secondary and final fulfillment.
The fulfillment of the "little horn" prophecy can have:
Secondary fulfillment (future sometime) - a reference to the Syrian king Antiochus Epiphanes who attacked the Jews (170 BC.), desecrated the temple, blasphemed God and led to the Maccabean uprising. Daniel will give more details about this person and time in chapter 11 as he describes the "regional" wars between the Syrians in the north and Alexander's general who controlled Egypt with Palestine as a pawn between the two.
Final fulfillment (end time) - this reference can also point to the end of time when a person in the "likeness" of Antiochus will come to blaspheme God and turn people away from Him. This would be the antichrist described by Paul in II Thessalonians.
We know that Daniel's reference to the little horn is already fulfilled in Antiochus Epiphanes some 400 years later. Scholars debate if this prophecy was meant to refer to the antichrist as well.
Daniel 9 – 70 weeks
In this chapter Daniel's prophecy concerns the nation of Israel and the specific coming of the Messiah. Daniel uses the idea of 70 weeks to give the exact time when certain things will take place.
In verses 1 through 19 Daniel is praying and studying the word when he realizes that Jeremiah's prophecy said that the people would be in captivity for 70 years and that time was rapidly drawing close. He prays that God will honor this word and return the people home to rebuild the city and temple.
"Now while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God, 21 while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously came to me in my extreme weariness about the time of the evening offering. 22 He gave me instruction and talked with me and said, "O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight with understanding. 23 At the beginning of your supplications the command was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision.
24 "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. 25 So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. 26Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. 27 And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.""
- Daniel 9:20-27
God gives Daniel further understanding concerning the history and the future of the restored city of Jerusalem and the time of the arrival of the promised Messiah. This information is tied up in the expression of 70 weeks. From their perspective they could not solve this numerical mystery but from our viewpoint we can give clearer meaning to it.
What the seventy weeks exactly referred to depends on where and how you begin counting.
Many scholars think that the 70 weeks refers to 70 weeks of years. The number seven was used in significant ways from the beginning of Scriptures (7 days of creation; 70 years of captivity). It was a combination of 4 (representing the world North/East/South/West) and 3 (representing God), the combination of which represented perfection (God + His creation). So 70 weeks (or 70 times 7 (7 days in a week) equaled 490 years). This idea comes from Ezekiel 4:6 where Ezekiel assigns one year for each day in a certain prophecy.
We need to be careful because there is nothing that tells us that the equation in Ezekiel's prophecy should be applied in Daniel's prophecy. The significance of the prophecy is that it refers to periods of time that certain things would happen.
Daniel divided these 70 weeks into 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week; these refer to 3 main events in Jewish history left to happen as far as Daniel was concerned:
How long it would take to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple (from Daniel to the temple being rebuilt).
How long it would be until the Messiah would come (from the temple being rebuilt to Christ coming).
How long after the Messiah came would the end of His ministry and the end of the nation be (Christ to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple).
Scholars have tried to compute numbers to correspond with various historical events but are not in agreement. However, if we approach these numbers as representing general eras we see:
From the time Daniel made the prophecy to the temple's completion was approximately 50 years (7 weeks of years = 49 years).
From the time that Daniel made the prophecy to the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, approximately five centuries (62 weeks to the coming of the Messiah = 434 years).
From the time of the Messiah's coming to the end of His ministry and death on the cross and the destruction of Jerusalem 30 AD – 70 AD (1 week – short period).
When dealing with numbers, prophets were more interested with acts, events and eras, so numbers indicated how many acts and the era they would take place.
Jeremiah prophesied exactly 70 years for the captivity; Daniel uses a symbolic number 70 weeks to foretell eras and generations. For more please download:

Daniel 10 – Angels of the nations
In verses 1-9, Daniel tells of a troubling period in his soul when he sees and has an exchange with an unnamed angel.
In verses 10-21, the angel reveals to Daniel some of the struggle taking place in the unseen realm of the spiritual world. The struggle is between angelic beings in the control and movement of nations in that period of time. Again Daniel is describing events that are related to these four kingdoms, but this time from a "behind the scenes" point of view.
The angel reveals the following:
That his mission is to give Daniel yet another vision concerning his people and what would happen to them in the future. This vision will unfold in chapter 11.
He reveals the angelic struggle between himself and other angels that guide or empower the nations that Daniel has spoken of in his visions (Persia, Greece, Israel).
The angel tells him that he and Michael were struggling with the angel over Persia in preparation for the coming of the angel over Greece. This describes the future struggle between Persia and Greece.
We do not understand the nature of the struggle between these angelic beings (perhaps the angel over Persia was refusing to accept the demise of his protectorate and these other angels were there to prepare for the eventual destruction by Greece). In any event, the revelation shows Daniel that the order of world events is controlled by God and worked out by His messengers.
Daniel 11 – Kings of the North & South
In this chapter Daniel will see a vision that introduces some new elements to the scenario of the four kingdoms.
After the death of Alexander, his kingdom is divided among his four generals. Ptolemy Soter was the general who received the land of Egypt and he annexed Judea as part of his domain. This activity took place between 324 and 264 BC. The Greek Empire was still the dominant force but beginning its decline. This kingdom (Egypt with Judea) was threatened in a regional dispute by the powerful northern country of Syria which contested the annexation of the Judean territory. Thus began a series of conflicts between the northern kings (Syria) and the southern kings (Greek rulers in this area of the Greek Empire). Eventually Syria dominated the area from about 204 BC until 165 BC.
Meanwhile in Jerusalem during the Syrian domination of their country, there was a struggle between the Orthodox Jews who held to traditional religious practice and the more liberal faction of that society who had been deeply influenced by decades of Greek language, religion and ideas. (The rise of the Pharisee sect began as guardians of orthodoxy). These two factions constantly fought over who would control the High Priest's office, the most powerful position in the country.
To make matters more complicated, the High Priest was appointed by the Syrian king as a sort of governor under Syrian authority. There was much lobbying by both sides to influence the Syrian king to appoint the proper candidate. During the reign of one particularly nasty pagan king, Antiochus Epiphanes, the High Priest's office was actually sold to the highest bidder. On one occasion Antiochus appointed a High Priest and sent him to Jerusalem where he was rejected by the local orthodox leaders and run out of town. Antiochus was furious and came with his army and murdered thousands, tore down the walls, forbade circumcision on pain of death, and worst of all, erected a statue of the pagan god Olympus in the temple and sacrificed a pig on the altar.
This caused a revolt among the people and a guerilla type war led by a man named Judas Mattathias (Maccabee in Greek) ensued. This took place in 165-163 BC.
After a long struggle the Syrian king was forced to sign a peace treaty, the temple was cleansed and worship was renewed (the feast of Hanukkah is a remembrance of the rededication of the temple). The Jews enjoyed freedom for about 100 years.
In 145 BC, Rome defeated Greece and began to tighten its grip on world power. In 63 BC it captured Jerusalem and subdued all the local kings under its control. Rome put local rulers to govern the area. At the time of Jesus' birth, Herod was one of these rulers appointed by Rome.
When we look at the rise and fall of the four great kingdoms, what I have described to you is what took place in the area of Judea between the fall and rise of the third and fourth kingdoms. Daniel's vision is a close-up view of what will take place in Israel during the period when the Greek Empire is declining and the Roman Empire is ascending.
Chapter 11 is a detailed account of the kings, wars and outcome of this period. An outline that explains this in detail verse by verse is available at bibletalk.tv/outline-of-kings.
Note that the verse is printed on the left side and on the right side is the interpretation agreed upon by most scholars. By verse 36 of chapter 11 and into chapter 12 you begin to have three interpretations of the verses that I have noted for you. There are various reasons for this: some scholars think there is a secondary and final fulfillment of these words, so words refer to the same idea that repeats itself in the future and at the end of the world. Verse 36 can only refer to Antiochus and his deeds. It could also refer to the antichrist at the end of the world.
This list gives you the generally agreed interpretations plus at times the varied ideas of other scholars (McGuiggan, Church of Christ scholar; Butler, Evangelical scholar; Young, Concordance editor).
Daniel 12 – The time of the end
Daniel continues his dialogue with the angel as the action sweeps forward to the outcome of the troubles that will take place at the end of time. The previous chapters spoke of the battle between Persia, Greece and then the local battles in Palestine until the appearance and dominance by the Roman Empire. In this last chapter we fast forward to look at the outcome of the struggle between the fourth kingdom (Rome) and the kingdom that will replace all other kingdoms before it, the kingdom of God. Note that he is still talking about the four kingdoms and God's final kingdom, but again in a different way.
Features in chapter 12: Daniel uses expressions (time, times and ½ a time) and numbers to determine the time when certain events will take place, especially the end of Jerusalem and the world. He expresses the promise that God will rescue those written in His book, the chosen ones. He predicts a time of hardship and eventual punishment. Daniel has the vision to predict events but the time is hidden or closed to him and to us. Many have tried to guess or decode.
Again, there are different interpretations depending on the way you think the prophecies concern only a future event or deal exclusively with the end of time or both. This is why you have different viewpoints but all the same sequence:
The rise and fall of the fourth kingdom.
Persecution of God's people.
Perseverance and victory of God's people.
Defeat, judgment, disappearance of the fourth kingdom.
Reward and happiness for God's people in the end.
And so Daniel completes his visions and his book is finished. Note the different ways to express the time element: 7 weeks, 62 weeks, 1 week; time, times, ½ time. Same ratio, same sequence.
Here are some things to remember about Daniel's book.
It deals with four world powers and the church.
It describes the rise and fall of these and the eventual establishment of the church in a variety of ways, symbols and images, but repeats the same story.
It is important to remember the sequence of events in chapter 2 which remains the same even though the symbolism is at times hard to understand or match exactly to precise historical dates.
The prophecy is concerned with events and epochs; exact numbers are used symbolically.
The sequence has been proven historically
There may still be final fulfillment at the end

If vision is an expression of the soul of a person, platform is its body. We often call these "core competencies," which tend to grow organically. Whether an organization (or an individual) recognizes it in themselves, these competencies are platforms, or assets with business applications. Platform generation is taking assets that have already been created and finding new ways to use them.
Sometimes an ecosystem can sprout up around a product, like the range of cases, headphones and other paraphernalia that surround the mobile devices. As well, a company can sprout whole economic worlds, as was the case of the App Store–and in that case, the App Store itself was a new platform for Apple. In a very similar sense, ecosystem thinking has become a cornerstone of web publishing–the broad swathe of unpaid contributors creating content for the Huffington Post, BuzzFeed and other publishing platforms do so in exchange for growing their own individual readership and brand.
Taken together, constant reinvention process is a combination of inner and outer awareness.
With the cascade of new technologies and social changes, we are constantly challenged to spark creativity, drive innovation, and ensure sustainability. What are the remedies? How do we work with ourselves and others? The newest problems of the world find solutions in the oldest timeless practices like mindfulness, authenticity, and devotion- because everything connects.
Connectivity is a sense of journey, to the sense of purpose–it is an individual, lonely pursuit and a collective, companionable one at the same time. Our individual, interpersonal, and organizational working lives all interconnect. By examining these connections, we learn new ways to create, innovate, adapt, and lead.
This isn't just a quick fix for your next financial quarter, or a business plan; this is how you succeed in the long run. It is a systemization of your art, science, business, and spirituality.
TRADITIONAL HIERARCHICAL MANAGEMENT STYLE IS DEAD. YOU HAVE AN ALL-STAR TEAM AND VISION FOR MILES — WHAT'S MISSING? BRING YOUR FOCUS BACK TO YOUR PEOPLE'S POTENTIAL WITH THESE TIPS.
Nobody succeeds in a silo. Whatever we venture–personal, professional, philanthropic, political, or private–we must remember the people involved in and essential to our success.
Everything Connects is about lessons in leadership, from how to be more present to how technology is changing our worlds. A standout theme contained in this talk is our treatment of each other as humans–not just as employees, supervisors or CEOs–and the success this awareness brings.
Here are five ideas for connecting with the people that make business run.
Commitment-oriented companies are proven to be successful because colleagues are treated like family, not cogs in a machine. If we want to cultivate the visionary in others, we need to attend to the whole system surrounding them.
Just as you can't force a flower to grow on a sidewalk, you can't tell someone to be what they aren't when they're in the wrong place. Categorize your organization's needs by what kinds of talent can fill them.
So you've curated your dream-team of visionaries–but what if they're dreaming of their individual success, instead of the greater good? The idea is that those ambitions are what create connections: when people are working together on projects they want to do, they'll form relationships.
Companies and individuals alike are pushed to reinvent or fizzle out faster than ever. Innovation isn't an option anymore; it's a requirement. Sustained innovation is powered by people who come together to share ideas, compare observations, and brainstorm solutions to complex problems.
Rushing from task to task detaches us from our creative potential, the authors say–and isolates us from the people that make our endeavors possible. When we stop being curious, we stop being innovative, create complexity, and ultimately fail.

Although many ideas never make it off the page and most new ventures fail, we tend to hear about people when they are successful, not when they are struggling.
This creates a distorted perception that people can go from failure to success in a day. Yet behind every "overnight success" is a story of a person, team, or entire organization facing a host of obstacles that have the potential to shut them down. Those who prevail share one thing in common: the ability to draw from within to weather whatever comes their way.
Ultimately there is no one definition of success, so the authors examined the stories of a variety of leaders who faced ill health, professional setbacks, emotional loss, and other life-changing events, to illustrate how each achieved transformation and success. The book illuminates how anyone can attain the resilience that's required to repeatedly push forward in the face of conflict.
Each individual's story in the book examines the essential tools needed in overcoming obstacles and seizing upon an opportunity. Each incorporates practical applications for reframing the reaction to setbacks.

Trump's legal team reportedly prepared their strategy to challenge articles of impeachment by House Dems — yet to be sent to the GOP-controlled Senate for trial.
According to Law Professor Jonathan Turley, "(b)y rushing the impeachment and forcing a vote before Christmas, the House gave up control over an incomplete and insufficient case for removal," adding:
"It gave up that control to a chamber controlled by the opposing party."
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi's attempt to game the system has not achieved any concession from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell."
"Few of us believed it would. Now the House will proceed on the thinnest record ever presented in a modern presidential impeachment trial."
Clearly it's going nowhere, likely to help Trump's reelection, not undermine it.
Articles of impeachment by House Dems against Trump with no legitimate standing seek political advantage in November's presidential and congressional elections.
That's what this is all about, ignoring serious Trump wrongdoing, just cause for impeachment and removal from office. More on this below.
Under the Constitution's Article II, Section 4, impeachment and conviction require proving "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
No legitimacy exists to impeach Trump for abuse of power on grounds of seeking interference from Ukraine to aid his 2020 presidential reelection and obstruction of Congress for defying House subpoenas.
Clear just cause exists to impeach and remove him from office for crimes of war, against humanity, and betraying the public trust by serving monied interests exclusively at the expense of ordinary people he greatly harmed at home and abroad.
Breaching virtually every positive promise made to the American people proved he can never be trusted and no longer has justification to serve.
Abroad, he escalated crimes of war and against humanity against Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Somalia.
He supports aggression in Libya, Donbass, Ukraine, and Occupied Palestine.
He's waging economic terrorism on Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia and other countries.
He supports international terrorism while pretending to combat it.
As US president and commander-in-chief, he's responsible for high crimes at home and abroad, legitimate impeachable offenses.
He committed acts of war against Iraq and Iran by terror-bombing Iraqi territory, killing deputy PMU leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and others, along with assassinating IRGC Quds Force commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
All of the above are high crimes, just cause to impeach and remove him from office, what Dems and Republicans should support.
Clearly they won't because they share guilt. The vast majority of Washington's political class is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors — by supporting aggression, state terrorism, and other hostile actions
In response to Trump's threat to target dozens of Iranian sites, including cultural ones, President Rouhani warned him "never (to) threaten the Iranian nation."
In solidarity against imperial USA for assassinating General Soleimani, millions of Iranians took to the streets over the weekend and Monday to honor him and symbolically stand against the scourge America represents.
As a nation mourns the loss of its revered Quds Force commander, his assassination an act of war by any standard, Iran's parliament discussed an appropriate response, the body's spokesman Asadollah Abbasi saying:
"In reaction to the recent terrorist and cowardly assassination of Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani and his companions by the US and as decided by the presiding board, the triple-urgency motion will be put on the agenda of the parliament's open session," adding:
"The latest US action is viewed as 'state-sponsored terrorism' not only by the parliament's presiding board but also by most world countries, and the ratification of the triple-urgency motion lends legal credit to this issue."
On Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif denounced the US for its "blatant disregard for the jus cogens in international law as well as for universally-recognized rights and immunities," adding:
"This is the same schizophrenic approach that repugnantly threatens, in contravention of international law, to strike Iran's cultural sites which are part of the shared human cultural and civilizational heritage."
Killing Soleimani, a "voice of independence-seeking struggles" in the war-torn Middle East, was a "cowardly" attack on him and the Iranian nation, "a strategic blunder."
The only way forward for restoration of regional peace and stability is "expulsion of the US from West Asia."
Zarif stressed that Iran remains "the anchor of peace and security" in the Middle East, along with its development.
Peace and stability defeat US imperial aims. Endless wars and other hostile actions serve it — what its imperial scourge is all about.
