In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side.
Ruth said,
"Do not press me to leave you
or to turn back from following you!
Where you go, I will go;
where you lodge, I will lodge;
your people shall be my people,
and your God my God.
In both Judges and Luke, a Messenger of the Lord appears to a couple, promising a son. In both cases strong drink is specifically prohibited. In both cases Israel will be moved by the promised boy. Both are the beginning of deliverance
And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, "Although you are barren, having borne no children, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, or to eat anything unclean, for you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor is to come on his head, for the boy shall be a nazirite to God from birth. It is he who shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines."
Judges 13:3-5
But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink; even before his birth he will be filled with the Holy Spirit. He will turn many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.
But quickly after this familiar Jewish scene is something far rarer in the Hebrew Bible. A direct conversation, with quoted words, between two women not about a man.
In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leapt in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry, 'Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leapt for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.'
Men are often foolish in Luke. Herod, who murdered John the Baptist, wants to see Jesus because he thinks he may be John the Baptist, risen from the dead!
Now Herod the ruler heard about all that had taken place, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen. Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he tried to see him.
and later Herod has such an emotional journey on the day of the Crucifixion that one is reminded of poor king Saul, whose demons destroyed his life and his mind
When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him perform some sign. He questioned him at some length, but Jesus gave him no answer. The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then he put an elegant robe on him, and sent him back to Pilate. That same day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other; before this they had been enemies.
Women, and what they observe, are a theme. The Lord's conversation with Mary and Martha hints at something to come..
Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."
And these themes, wisdom, observing reality, are repeated. The Gospel of Luke is explicitly in the Wisdom tradition of Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes, but without the reassuring calmness of Proverbs
Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,' so that this generation may be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.
Luke disturbs the reader, introducing sarcasm not seen in the Bible since Job or Ecclesiastes
But ask the animals, and they will teach you;
the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you;
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who among all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
Job 12:7-9 (on the death of his family)
All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knows whether the human spirit goes upwards and the spirit of animals goes downwards to the earth? So I saw that there is nothing better than that all should enjoy their work, for that is their lot; who can bring them to see what will be after them?
Ecclesiastes 3:20-22
At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you." He said to them, "Go and tell that fox for me, 'Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.'
While it is men who murder, it is women who watch. Women have the gift of realizing a murder is a murder, no matter who is being murdered. The camera pans back — Christ, the soldier, the crowd, the acquaintances, the women —- the witnesses of murders
Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last. When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, "Certainly this man was innocent." And when all the crowds who had gathered there for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they returned home, beating their breasts. But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things
The closest parallel to this in the Bible — of woman seeing the thing, clearly, is Sarah at her Annunciation, when she spoke to the LORD
They said to him, "Where is your wife Sarah?" And he said, "There, in the tent." Then one said, "I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent entrance behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?" The Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?' Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son."
But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "Oh yes, you did laugh."
The traditional view of this scene is negative for Sarah, the doubter, who laughed. But the ridiculous is ridiculous, no matter the speaker. Just as a murder is a murder, no matter the victim. The LORD is fully present in the world, really and truly was at supper with Abraham and Sarah. Sarah, like Mary, actually listened to the LORD, and engaged the LORD, and reacted to the human God as the most treasured guest one could have.
The same pattern, with the same wry humor from the LORD, was repeated shortly before His crucifixion. But unlike women, the men do not engage enough to understand what is ridiculous. Given a command to trade cloth for swords, they immediately begin counting the swords in the house, as if the goal was Herod's head. "Enough," indeed.
He said to them, "But now, the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you, this scripture must be fulfilled in me, 'And he was counted among the lawless'; and indeed what is written about me is being fulfilled." They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords."
He replied, "It is enough."
Joseph must have felt similar feelings of love and irritation when he sat down for dinner with his brothers.
The annunciation to Sarah, of course, occurred at a meal
Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.
Immediately after the resurrection, the Lord appears to two men, revealing his identity as food is handed out.
As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.
Even in the parables, in visiosn of heaven, we see flesh and blood — Abraham and Lazarus — proof that this creation, through Christ, may live forever.
And that is the world of the Gospel of Luke. Earth. A Creator who became a Creature.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke don't contradict each other, but they emphasize different thing.
In Matthew, primarily, Jesus is Legislator, King of Israel, and Prophet — the Son of Man
In Mark, primarily, Jesus is God of All.
In Luke, primarily, Jesus's lives in the world of sarcasm, women, and food.
The Legislator…
The One True God…
Is a creature,
Is a human,
Is a man.
Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.

Impressions of "Kitten Clone," by Douglas Coupland
August 9, 2015 tdaxp	1 Comment
Depending on your age and interests, you may know Douglas Coupland for
popularizing the term "Generation X" (1991)
his detailed, and thinly fictionalized, novel of Microsoft two decades ago (1996)
his detailed, and thinly fictionalized, novel of EA Sports Vancouver last decade (2007)
His gallery show, Everywhere is Anywhere is Anything is Everything
Kitten Clone combines Generation X's feeling of being alive after the major events happened, Microsofters & jPod tech sensibility, and Everything's pop sensibility.
"Kitten Clone" is also interesting, because it completes the histories of Bell Lab's I've written.
Crystal Fire, which I reviewed in 2009, took place in an era where Bell Labs was a scientiifc powerhouse
Life in the Crown Jewel, which I also reviewed in 2009, the first-person account of a corporate official who helped implement many disasterous reforms
and Optical Illusions, which I reviewed in 2010, about the acquisition by the French
But the wheel keeps turning. Alcatel-Lucent, the purchaser of Bell Labs, has been purchased by Nokia for $16 billion.
And this knowledge, that Kitten Clone is a snapshot of life after Bell Lab's greatest but not in the after-after Nokia era, is what makes the book moving.
Oddly, near the end, are two paragraphs that relate strongly to Pope Francis's Laudato Si. Coupland has a gift of writing about right now, whether right now has just happened or is just about to happen:
After leaving Chen's office, I experienced time sickness as though I really have wormholed into the future. A few hours later, I'm at a dinner in a glass tower above the Bund [in Shanghai], a trillion dollars worth of real estate and LED lighting that blows Tokyo into the weeds. The steaks are from Argentina and cost $100 apiece. There are thirty different kinds of single-malt scotch. The restaurant's air is cool and fragrant, but the air outside the window is boiling and muggy and has that slightly damaged feeling, like when you see a big car with a large dent in it that makes you wince and say, "Ow."
"As I sip my drink, I look out the windows toward the power plants that are burning the coal from British Columbia that fuels the air conditioners and elevators and routers and switching devices and laptops and mainframes and hard drives and cell rechargers of Shanghai. The sky is chalked white from particulates, but the glowing skyscraper walls make the sky look like pink water milk.
Kitten Clone is high detailed, impressionist, echoing with nostalgia, echoing with the future, echoing with the now.

Freightliner Squashes Up!
Freightliner has placed an order for 30 new state-of-the-art locos, including air-conditioned cabs – and has detailed progress on the improvements it is making to cabs in its existing 66 cabs. The company's Production Director has assured Keith Norman that it is 'more than happy to involve ASLEF as much as possible in the ergonomics of any new cab design'.
'I am delighted,' said Keith. 'Freightliner has responded in a positive way to the concerns the union has raised in our Squash campaign – which called for radically improved cab conditions that are safe, healthy and modern.'
The company has ordered 30 locomotives from American firm GE Transportation Systems which is making its first foray into the UK market dominated by EMD. The new GE design will offer lower emissions as well as AC traction and rheostatic braking making it, according to the company, '10% more efficient than previous locos'. Freightliner says the new locos will not only improve the carbon footprint but will be able to move more payload per train than ever before'.
It points out that ASLEF has 'singled out the Class 66 cab environment as being particularly poor in terms of noise, vibration and ride comfort' and is confident that the new – Genesis – fleet will 'bring new standards of comfort to freight train drivers', with air-conditioning fitted as standard. Full consultation with the union is guaranteed.
As far as existing 66 locos are concerned, the company has promised improvements in three areas – seats, blind and air cooling.
On cab of Heavy Haul (66584() has been fitted with air suspension seats, a feature that will be fitted to the other 66584 cab and a loco from the Intermodal fleet in the near future. There has been a delay because of a design issue with the plinth.
New blinds will be fitted to the two locos with the new seats for trials and feedback.
An air cooling system has been bench-tested for tier one locos, but there is still a design issue for the tier twos. The Group has assured the union that regardless of progress on the tier twos, the new cooling system will be fitted to a Tier one loco for trials in the early summer.
'We have to accept that the time scales for change cannot be delivered as soon as our members would like,' Keith Norman says. 'But Freightliner have shown themselves committed to improvements in cab conditions and has pledged itself to genuine consultation as this is developed.
'Freightliner has shown the way. We will be looking to other freight companies to match these initiatives.'

I have to say I'm a little nervous coming out and writing to you in the first person, I prefer to be the one behind the scenes. I truly feel that the Wives of Turf community is about all of you so it feels a little awkward to be posting as myself.
I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you what you all mean to me. I'll warn you, it may sound cheesy and sappy but it is truly how I feel about this community and it's members. The past twenty one months have been amazing…Life changing even. I have only met a small percentage of you in person but I feel as though you are all my sisters. Twenty one months ago I was frustrated and wondering how I was going to make it through another hot, humid summer alone. Then suddenly I wasn't alone anymore.
I learned more about you and saw a strength that I had never been able to call up myself. I met some of the most independent women in the world. Women not afraid to do things with their families in their husband's absence. Women who were thriving in the Turf Lifestyle when I felt like I had been drowning in it.
You all have been an inspiration, the driving force to help make me a better wife, mother and person. I'm not sure that there are even enough words to express what you all mean to me.
I've been stopped by some of your Men of Turf and thanked for giving you some place to go to vent your frustrations and celebrate the Turf Lifestyle. Many of you have thanked me yourselves. I feel like the thanks should be going the other way. Thank YOU for coming into my life. Thank YOU for being a part of the Wives of Turf community and making it the success it is today. But most importantly, thank YOU for helping me learn to embrace the Turf Lifestyle and all the craziness that comes along with it.
A couple of weeks ago I received a gift that was so thoughtful and generous it brought tears to my eyes. A group of Wives got together and all chipped in to send me the most amazing necklace. It is the perfect gift and it sits close to my heart just like all of you.
I'm not sure exactly who the mastermind was but I wanted to take a second to thank the women involved. Monica, Kristi, Kara, Daniela, Melany, Laurie, Kelsey, Colleen, Kristen, Kelly and Rosann…THANK YOU! Your gift means the world to me and I will treasure it always. If you were involved and I missed you please reach out to me so I can give you the thanks you deserve.
I've never really thought of myself as someone who can inspire others even though it is something that I strive for each day. It makes me smile to know that you feel inspired by something that I have done.
Once again, thank you all for being a part of our community, we're not even close to being finished here yet!

The ATLAS semiconductor tracker end-cap module
Ingår i: Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A. - 0168-9002 .- 1872-9576. ; 575:3, s. 353-389
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
The challenges for the tracking detector systems at the LHC are unprecedented in terms of the number of channels, the required read-out speed and the expected radiation levels. The ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker. (SCT) end-caps have a total of about 3 million electronics channels each reading out every 25 ns into its own on-chip 3.3 mu s buffer. The highest anticipated dose after 10 years operation is 1.4x10(14) cm(-2) in units of 1 MeV neutron equivalent (assuming the damage factors scale with the non-ionising energy loss). The forward tracker has 1976 double-sided modules, mostly of area similar to 70 cm(2), each having 2 x 768 strips read out by six ASICs per side. The requirement to achieve an average perpendicular radiation length of 1.5% X-0, while coping with up to 7 W dissipation per module (after irradiation), leads to stringent constraints on the thermal design. The additional requirement of 1500e(-) equivalent noise charge (ENC) rising to only 1800e(-) ENC after irradiation, provides stringent design constraints on both the high-density Cu/Polyimide flex read-out circuit and the ABCD3TA read-out ASICs. Finally, the accuracy of module assembly must not compromise the 16 mu m (r phi) resolution perpendicular to the strip directions or 580 mu m radial resolution coming from the 40 mrad front-back stereo angle. A total of 2210 modules were built to the tight tolerances and specifications required for the SCT. This was 234 more than the 1976 required and represents a yield of 93%. The component flow was at times tight, but the module production rate of 40-50 per week was maintained despite this. The distributed production was not found to be a major logistical problem and it allowed additional flexibility to take advantage of where the effort was available, including any spare capacity, for building the end-cap modules. The collaboration that produced the ATLAS SCT end-cap modules kept in close contact at all times so that the effects of shortages or stoppages at different sites could be rapidly resolved.
The barrel modules of the ATLAS semiconductor tracker
This paper describes the silicon microstrip modules in the barrel section of the SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) of the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The module requirements, components and assembly techniques are given, as well as first results of the module performance on the fully assembled barrels that make up the detector being installed in the ATLAS experiment.

A layer correlation technique for pion energy calibration at the 2004 ATLAS Combined Beam Test
Ingår i: Journal of Instrumentation. - : IOP Publishing. - 1748-0221. ; 6
A new method for calibrating the hadron response of a segmented calorimeter is developed and successfully applied to beam test data. It is based on a principal component analysis of energy deposits in the calorimeter layers, exploiting longitudinal shower development information to improve the measured energy resolution. Corrections for invisible hadronic energy and energy lost in dead material in front of and between the calorimeters of the ATLAS experiment were calculated with simulated Geant4 Monte Carlo events and used to reconstruct the energy of pions impinging on the calorimeters during the 2004 Barrel Combined Beam Test at the CERN H8 area. For pion beams with energies between 20 GeV and 180 GeV, the particle energy is reconstructed within 3% and the energy resolution is improved by between 11% and 25% compared to the resolution at the electromagnetic scale.
Combined performance studies for electrons at the 2004 ATLAS combined test-beam
In 2004 at the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) combined test beam, one slice of the ATLAS barrel detector (including an Inner Detector set-up and the Liquid Argon calorimeter) was exposed to particles from the H8 SPS beam line at CERN. It was the first occasion to test the combined electron performance of ATLAS. This paper presents results obtained for the momentum measurement p with the Inner Detector and for the performance of the electron measurement with the LAr calorimeter (energy E linearity and resolution) in the presence of a magnetic field in the Inner Detector for momenta ranging from 20 GeV/c to 100 GeV/c. Furthermore the particle identification capabilities of the Transition Radiation Tracker, Bremsstrahlungs-recovery algorithms relying on the LAr calorimeter and results obtained for the E/p ratio and a way how to extract scale parameters will be discussed.
Photon reconstruction in the ATLAS Inner Detector and Liquid Argon Barrel Calorimeter at the 2004 Combined Test Beam
The reconstruction of photons in the ATLAS detector is studied with data taken during the 2004 Combined Test Beam, where a full slice of the ATLAS detector was exposed to beams of particles of known energy at the CERN SPS. The results presented show significant differences in the longitudinal development of the electromagnetic shower between converted and unconverted photons as well as in the total measured energy. The potential to use the reconstructed converted photons as a means to precisely map the material of the tracker in front of the electromagnetic calorimeter is also considered. All results obtained are compared with a detailed Monte-Carlo simulation of the test-beam setup which is based on the same simulation and reconstruction tools as those used for the ATLAS detector itself.
Study of the response of the ATLAS central calorimeter to pions of energies from 3 to 9 GeV
Ingår i: Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors, and Associated Equipment. - : Elsevier. - 0167-5087. ; 607:2, s. 372-386
A fully instrumented slice of the ATLAS central detector was exposed to test beams from the SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) at CERN in 2004. in this paper, the response of the central calorimeters to pions with energies in the range between 3 and 9 GeV is presented. The linearity and the resolution of the combined calorimetry (electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters) was measured and compared to the prediction of a detector simulation program using the toolkit Geant 4.

Study of energy response and resolution of the ATLAS barrel calorimeter to hadrons of energies from 20 to 350 GeV
Ingår i: Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors, and Associated Equipment. - : Elsevier. - 0167-5087. ; 621:1-3, s. 134-150
A fully instrumented slice of the ATLAS detector was exposed to test beams from the SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) at CERN in 2004. In this paper, the results of the measurements of the response of the barrel calorimeter to hadrons with energies in the range 20-350 GeV and beam impact points and angles corresponding to pseudo-rapidity values in the range 0.2-0.65 are reported. The results are compared to the predictions of a simulation program using the Geant 4 toolkit. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.
The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) proportional drift tube: design and performance
Ingår i: Journal of Instrumentation. - : IOP Publishing. - 1748-0221. ; 3:2
A straw proportional counter is the basic element of the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT). Its detailed properties as well as the main properties of a few TRT operating gas mixtures are described. Particular attention is paid to straw tube performance in high radiation conditions and to its operational stability.
The ATLAS TRT barrel detector
The ATLAS TRT barrel is a tracking drift chamber using 52,544 individual tubular drift tubes. It is one part of the ATLAS Inner Detector, which consists of three sub-systems: the pixel detector spanning the radius range 4 to 20 cm, the semiconductor tracker (SCT) from 30 to 52 cm, and the transition radiation tracker ( TRT) from 56 to 108 cm. The TRT barrel covers the central pseudo-rapidity region |eta| < 1, while the TRT endcaps cover the forward and backward eta regions. These TRT systems provide a combination of continuous tracking with many measurements in individual drift tubes ( or straws) and of electron identification based on transition radiation from fibers or foils interleaved between the straws themselves. This paper describes the recently-completed construction of the TRT Barrel detector, including the quality control procedures used in the fabrication of the detector.
The ATLAS TRT electronics
The ATLAS inner detector consists of three sub-systems: the pixel detector spanning the radius range 4cm-20cm, the semiconductor tracker at radii from 30 to 52 cm, and the transition radiation tracker (TRT), tracking from 56 to 107 cm. The TRT provides a combination of continuous tracking with many projective measurements based on individual drift tubes (or straws) and of electron identification based on transition radiation from fibres or foils interleaved between the straws themselves. This paper describes the on and off detector electronics for the TRT as well as the TRT portion of the data acquisition (DAQ) system.

Myrtle Beach tops Salem, 7-5
Published Friday, Apr. 11, 2014, 10:44 pm
Front Page » Sports » Myrtle Beach tops Salem, 7-5
After scoring just a total of five runs in four games against Salem in the opening series of the season, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans offense awakened on Friday night in a 7-5 win over the Red Sox in front of 5,605 fans at LewisGale Field.
Trailing by a run heading to the seventh inning, the Pelicans finally broke out of their season-long swoon against the Sox with a five-run frame against Simon Mercedes (L, 1-1). With runners on first and second and one out, Christopher Bostick hit into an apparent inning-ending double play, but the relay throw got away, allowing Edwin Garcia to score and tie the game at three. After a walk, Jorge Alfaro blasted a go-ahead, two-run double to right center, giving Myrtle Beach its first lead of the night at 5-3. Joey Gallo then crushed a 1-0 fastball from Mercedes out to right for his third home run in two nights, pushing the lead to 7-3.
Salem's offense attempted a comeback in the last of the ninth with Ryan Dent driving home a run on a double to left to make it 7-4. After a walk to load the bases, Aaron King grounded into a double play that pushed across a run, but silenced the rally. Keone Kela (S, 2) then got Matty Johnson, representing the tying run, to pop out in foul territory to end the game.
The Red Sox were held quiet for most of the night, except for a three-run second highlighted by a two-run triple from Kevin Heller to open the scoring. After another run scored on an error, Myrtle Beach starter Chi Chi Gonzalez bounced back to retire 11 of the last 12 he faced before being lifted with an out in the sixth. Sam Stafford (W, 1-0) fired 2.2 scoreless frames before being charged with the two runs in the ninth.
Justin Haley made his first start of the year for Salem and went five innings, yielding two runs on four hits with four strikeouts. The only two runs he gave up came on a two-run single from Preston Beck in the top of the fourth to make it 3-2 in favor of the Red Sox.
The series continues on Saturday night at 6:05 at LewisGale Field. Salem will send southpaw Corey Littrell (0-0, 0.00) to the bump while Myrtle Beach will counter with Sam Wolff (0-1, 1.80).

Bankers beware: Technology is going to get you (and none of us will care)
New technologies are preparing to take a big slice of the traditional banking business.
Jonny Evans (Computerworld (US)) 07 July, 2014 23:35
Technology is about to transform the banking sector. A September 2013 Aite Group survey of business users showed that many of them already use alternatives to banks, for everything from electronic payments to cash flow forecasting.
Can you blame them? Do any customers love their bank? Have any of us who struggled with the impact of the 2008 crash forgiven the senior bankers who collected eye-watering bonuses? Well, it might be payback time. New technologies are preparing to take a big slice of the traditional banking business.
Bankers have been slow to recognize the technology threat, but it's becoming visible to some of them. Speaking at June's Future of Financial Services conference in London, Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins warned: "We are on the leading edge of a technology revolution. You can't see it, but it's coming, it's coming hard, and it's coming fast." Here's the problem, though: The banks aren't on the edge of a threat -- the threat is already here.
What's got the banks spooked is your smartphone. The 2 billion smartphones we use every day have already changed the industry: People use mobile banking services 24 times a month on average, while making a branch visit twice.
These are changes in customer preference that directly threaten old banking models. As consumers become more inclined to use banking alternatives, they become more willing to replace traditional bank-based financial products with offerings from others. Those non-traditional offerings are covering every offering of the existing bank industry: PayPal or Square, international cash exchange services such as TransferWise, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending and the imminent arrival at scale of mobile payment services from the likes of Apple, Google and Facebook. There are even crowdsourced services offering property loans. Banks are facing some bitter competition.
Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase is certain that since his bank operates "one of the largest payments systems in the world," it is "going to have competition from Google and Facebook and somebody else."
These new operators, "want to eat our lunch," he warns.
Ian Narev of Commonwealth Bank last year warned that these new contenders, "can pick particular slivers [of the banking industry] as a result of the application of technology into financial services and compete."
Banks simply aren't agile, and there is a real danger that their anachronistic, silo-based management structures will hobble their efforts to become multichannel financial services entities. You see, numerous reports suggest that delivering an integrated all-channel approach demands that the companies that embrace it break down barriers between departments -- barriers that have characterized most business efforts until now; success demands change and flexibility. You may know you are running different channels, but customers don't. This transformation will be especially difficult for banks, which are inherently slow to change, but can no longer avoid the need to do so.
Christine Barry, research director at Aite Group, told Computerworld, " I think new competitors in the market are good for the industry. They are forcing banks to evolve their strategies and broaden product offerings or risk having their online sites viewed as simply a place to check balances and transfer funds. The customers will ultimately benefit from better bank offerings."
And in a press release, Ralph Dangelmaier, president of Global Markets and Services at ACI Worldwide, said, "Consumers expect to shop and transact anywhere, at anytime, making mobile the hottest area of opportunity for financial institutions, processors and retailers today." He urged banks to plan strategically to make mobile part of their overall channel strategy, alongside ATMs, point of service, branch and online banking. They should "implement innovative mobile services," he said.
To achieve this fast, some banks are buying their way into partnerships with technology firms. HSBC, UBS and Barclays are increasing investment in the financial technology (fintech) sector. Deutsche Bank plans to launch an online platform through which fintech startups can pitch their ideas. Such partnerships let banks focus on the fiscal infrastructure while their agile fintech "frenemies" develop new products and services.
The pace of change is rapid and has inherent dangers. Speaking in June, Financial Conduct Authority chief executive Martin Wheatley warned bankers that the pace of technological change will be of an "entirely different order" to anything seen before, warning that "the concern is technology within financial services becomes a sort of Wild West." After all, you have to wonder whether the level of regulation applied to the new fintech players will match the oversight now laid on the banks. How effectively can global regulation ensure that these new financial players offer the same level of protection to a customer's financial assets?
Perhaps it's too early to call time on the banking system. Banks do have some good advantages to help them survive the smartphone disruption:
- People already trust banks with money and are less certain of new incumbents.
- Banks can offer a single entity (online, physical) for banking transactions.
- Banks can leverage their existing scale to offer more competitive pricing models than new industry arrivals.
"Not all banks will move quickly, though, so there will be opportunities for banks to differentiate themselves," said Aite Group's Barry. "As such, there may be changes in market share."
That's an understatement. In my opinion, the pace and scale of change is more rapid than most banks are inherently capable of navigating. Not only this, but banking customers are less loyal to their banks than ever before, having been denied credit, foreclosed against and made to endure global austerity measures ostensibly to support relief efforts to keep the banks in business. All these factors mean we are entering a period of major consolidation and uncertainty across the global banking industry, which will bring a wave of uncertainty across the global economy with which these entities are so entwined.
What's going to happen? Not all of our existing financial services firms are going to make it through this game, and I don't believe many of us will weep for the passing of those that fail. I think it's certain we'll lose a few household banking names.

Bake Offs Sue Perkins says everything makes sense after sudden diagnosis
Ex-Great British Bake Off co-host Sue Perkins shockingly revealed she'd been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during an online discussion.
The comedian got candid about her experience with the disorder, claiming that since being diagnosed, "everything made sense."
The conversation kicked off after Gomez guitarist Tom Gray had admitted he was "creeping" toward an ADHD diagnosis himself.
READ MORE: Teen Mom 2 star dies aged just 29 in 'suspected homicide' as pals heartbroken
"I'm creeping towards an ADHD diagnosis," he wrote. "Strongly advised to do it to help me but more likely help people who have relationships with me."
Tom continued to confess how the undiagnosed condition was having an effect on him.
He added: "Never realised before how object permanence is such a problem for me. Staying in touch rarely if ever occurs to me.
"I can only apologise. x," he concluded.
Sue then stepped into the comments section with her revelation, showing her support for Tom.
"I have fully crept. Once I had the diagnosis, suddenly everything made sense – to me and those who love me," she tweeted.
She ended her message with: "Wishing you well on the journey, Tom x."
Sue is no stranger to providing health updates for her fans.
In 2015, she revealed that she'd been diagnosed with a benign brain tumour but stated that she didn't realise she was suffering from the condition until she underwent a health screening for her show Supersizers.
In 2021, Sue also reflected on her pituitary gland tumour diagnosis which may have affected her ability to have children. She told the Mirror that she regularly has hospital check-ups to monitor the symptoms of her tumour.
"I don't know if I would have gone on to have children. But as soon as someone says you can't have something, you want it more than anything," she said.
Sue added: "Sometimes it screws up my hormones. I have various tests now to make sure the side effects aren't too onerous."

Why do you have a website or any Internet presence at all?
Here's why: To capture leads > to qualify those leads > to turn those leads in to sales > to make money.
Through this equation we see that Leads = Money. This article will show you how Fast Responses = More Money!
I've done some research on the topic of website leads and response management and I want you to learn from this and improve upon your current process.
Do you respond to leads within 5 minutes of receiving an email lead?
A forbes.com article titled "When It Comes To Inbound Marketing Time Is Definitely Of The Essence" shows an alarming stat. That you are 100x more likely to make contact with your lead within the first 5 minutes of submission than you are within just 30 minutes! So a delayed response to a lead is going to decrease the likelihood of a sale by 100X in just a 25 minute window and even 3000X if you go longer than 5 hours!
Another alarming stat I read is that the average response time across all industries is 30 to 40 HOURS! Ouch.
Do you know what that consumer can do in that 30 to 40 hours? Buy from someone else, that's what!
Knowing where your lead is. The longer you wait to respond the less likely they are sitting at that computer or have your website up on their phone.
Knowing they haven't made a decision yet. The sooner you respond the less likely they are to have already made the purchase they inquired you about.
You are on their mind. An immediate call back / email keeps your product or service fresh in their mind. It also keeps the impulse buyer impulsive.
It's impressive! A quick response is the best way to make a first impression. Shows you care, you're professional, and you're putting their needs first.
Have a canned response you can customize per lead. This just gives you a starting point to make the response quicker to develop.
Use website links to answer questions. If you have the answer on your website, just send them the link instead of retelling it.
Just have a process in place! You can assign certain leads to certain people, take shifts for responding at night, or get software to help manage leads. Whatever you do just have a process in place and begin to oil it until it's fine tuned and pumping out sales!
If you email, make it personal. Not a canned response the customer might think is an auto responder.
If you call get to a quiet, no interruptions, spot. Goes along with staying professional. Don't call while you're pumping gas. Get in the car first and turn off the radio.
If the answer to their question is "no", make it a "no but yes". Don't just answer no. You are trying to sell them! Turn that no into a yes somehow!

"My favorite project was The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S assignment. This is because I was reading the book initially just for the project, but I got into it and wanted to continue to read it. It taught me different life concepts that I can take away from it."
"My favorite assignment was The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S assignment. I took a lesson from the chapter I reviewed that I could carry and apply to my life for improvement. Chapter 4 in his book introduced me to a new way of taking advantage of every opportunity."
"The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S was by far the best assignment I have done while being in school, it helped me think and look at certain things differently and gave me the knowledge to know that I am like everyone else, and go through certain obstacles in my life, because at the end of it were human. But with the power of The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S, I know that I am on track to success just like everyone else."
"To further connect, my favorite assignment this semester was "The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S" because I really enjoyed the book. It made me put a lot of things in perspective and I am so glad that I was introduced to it."
"Mr. Wallace's book gives you extremely great insight of why you should strive to be the best you can be no matter the obstacle."
"Mr. Wallace gives real world examples that anyone can take in some kind of wat to relate to."
"Mr. Wallace gives life lessons and motivation to those who need to see things from a different perspective. "
"Mr. Wallace teaches and encourages us to take full control of our own life. There are a lot of inspiring quotes in the book that are offered to soak in."
"I can simply say this is a book you can go back to if you are needing to find answers to the questions, you ask yourself or if you need to be motivated."
"I was impressed on how I can get so much information, how it opens my eyes through a different perspective, and how resonates my life was in one book."
"There is also a quote in the adversity chapter that I think a lot of people should read."
"Mr. Wallace used his own life experience to educate and motivate others into becoming a better person of themselves."
"I enjoyed the book because it felt more like a motivational seminar than a regular autobiography."
"The most profound part of the audio book was Wallace's candidness about learning about and trying to understand his friend's clinical depression. He was correct in saying that other's often mistake depression as a minor, easily surmountable ordeal, when in reality it can be so paralyzing and make life feel futile. "
Mr. Wallace (the author) has a way of simplifying life. He is definitely a motivator, but like none you have heard before. He directs you to look to your past in order to free your future. His advice helps you to help yourself."
"Motivation should come from within rather than seeking everyone else's approval. Learning to love and motivate yourself is essential since you can't love anyone else until you love yourself. Carlos Wallace helps you understand these things by providing a reality check to everyone. "
"This book gives in depth insight on how to overcome the problem that several individuals have which is viewing life as complicated and adding to the complication by ones thinking. Wallace shows us ways to overcome negative thinking and how to overcome having a victim mentality. "
"My favorite assignment was The Other 99 TYMES, because the reading was such that I could apply to my personal life and allowed me to look at myself and ask different questions."
"His book aims to encourage people. With the relax music and his warm voice, the scene is more lively. He brings people to rhythms of emotion. After I heard this book, I feel I love this life."
"A round of applause for Carlos Wallace's amazing novel about his life and others. Wallace described many challenges and adversities that he faced during his lifetime. This was definitely a novel that I did not want to put down and ended up finishing it very fast!"
"Carlos does a really good job of bringing about issues that we encounter throughout life. His perspective is a lot different than mine and that was very motivating."
"You own your feelings. You own your thoughts. You control both. No one has the right to any of it—to any of you without your permission."

Rain or Sun for Opening Day in Detroit ?
Detroit – Tiger fans are familiar with uncomfortable weather conditions on Opening Day. Snow, sleet and rain along with temperatures well below freezing are not that uncommon. This year they may get a break.
Opening Day is Monday, April 6, with first pitch scheduled for 1:08 PM. Early Monday morning a storm system will be developing in the Central Plains. Showers will become widespread over the Great Lakes, but not until Monday night or Tuesday. One computer model for Opening Day shows scattered showers by the afternoon.
Plenty can change with weather computer models but at this point, it looks like the Tiger's have a good chance of playing on Opening Day. Temperatures will be in the upper 40's to around 50° for first pitch.

Sky Journalist Claims United Switch For Bundesliga Star Is "More Than Possible" With Talks Expected After The World Cup
David Tully Nov 29th 2022
Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg believes Manchester United could make a move for Bayer Leverkusen wingback Jeremie Frimpong in the New Year.
Both the Red Devils and Chelsea have been linked with the Netherlands international but Plettenberg claims Erik ten Hag's side are the team likeliest to step up their interest in the player:
News #Frimpong: Disappointing World Cup so far (0 minutes) but still one of the best Bundesliga players. He is aware of United's interest now. Within #MUFC they say he is "very interesting". Talks after WC. His departure from Leverkusen more than possible 2023. @SkySportDE 🇳🇱 pic.twitter.com/A4qmbflbji
— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) November 29, 2022
Frimpong actually came through Manchester City's academy before he joined Celtic. He made his first-team debut for the Hoops but he only stayed in Scotland for eighteen months, with Leverkusen snapping him up for £12m in January last year.
The 21-year-old is a very attack-minded player, which means he is more suited to a wingback role, but he is likely to provide Diogo Dalot with competition for the right-back slot if he does make the switch to Old Trafford.
As Plettenberg mentions, talks over Frimpong's future are not scheduled to take place until after the World Cup so we may have to wait a few weeks to find out more about this potential transfer.

Why This New Mom Is Reminding Pregnant People to Pay Attention to Their Baby's Kicks
Ayla Heller saved her baby's life.
Lauren Bates/Getty Images
Many moms-to-be are hyper-aware of their baby's kicks when pregnant. And, if you notice your baby is less active than usual, it's tempting to write it off as just one of those things. But one new Oregon mom is urging women to trust their instincts when it comes to their baby's movements. She did, and it saved her daughter's life.
Ayla Heller wrote a lengthy Facebook post that's gone viral, detailing what happened when she noticed her daughter Maddy was moving less than usual in the womb. Heller was 38 weeks pregnant at the time and says at first she just assumed her baby was having a "less active day." She felt her baby readjust her position at some point, but it wasn't until her boyfriend Dalton asked at 7 p.m. if the baby had been kicking that she realized Maddy hadn't really moved all day.
Heller took a bath, drank some orange juice, and poked at her belly but still nothing. So Heller's mom insisted that she call her midwife, who urged her to go to the hospital. Several tests later, Heller's midwife was called to the hospital. "Upon my midwife['s] arrival, she wasted no time to inform me that things were not looking the way they wanted and I was most likely going to have an emergency cesarean that night," Heller wrote. The couple was told that there were "life-threatening problems" with the baby and Heller was rushed to the operating room.
"I was given my spinal and before they could even get Dalton in the room they began the delivery," Heller said. "She came out fine and cried a little bit, but she needed oxygen." Heller was told that her placenta had aged prematurely, was calcified, "and had basically given up," she said. This prevented Maddy from getting the oxygen and food needed. The baby was also trying to preserve her energy, which was why she had stopped moving.
However, she adds, things could have gone very wrong. If Heller hadn't gone to the hospital that night, she says, she may have lost her baby. "Things like this DO happen," she writes. "You know your body and what's normal for your baby. And BABIES DON'T RUN OUT OF ROOM!! that was the common response I kept seeing. Babies will always kick [whether] there's much room or not. IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS, GO IN. GO IN. GO IN. GO IN!!!"
Maddy had low blood sugar and needed an IV glucose drip for the first few days of her life but Heller says she's otherwise fine. Today, Maddy is "doing great," Heller tells SELF. "She is such a happy healthy baby. She loves to be held, cuddled, and loved—and, trust me, she is."
Paying attention to your baby's pattern of movement is crucial.
Part of the reason Heller wrote the post is to "to let people know that fetal movement shouldn't stop," she tells SELF. And it's definitely important to pay attention to your baby's regular movements so that you—like Heller—can tell if something is off, Christine Greves, M.D., a board-certified ob/gyn at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, tells SELF. "I tell all of my patients to be aware of the baby's movements and to make sure the baby is moving well," she says.
In fact, fetal movement is so important that it's often the first thing doctors ask about during prenatal visits, G. Thomas Ruiz, M.D., ob/gyn at Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., tells SELF. "[Patients are] asked this question up until the baby is born," he says. That's partly because, as Geeta Sharma, M.D., an ob/gyn at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, tells SELF, "It tells us how well the placenta is working." If a baby isn't getting the nutrients it needs via the placenta, there may not be as much regular movement.
But that doesn't mean the baby needs to be squirming around at all times. "The baby sleeps most of the day while growing inside the uterus," Sherry Ross, M.D., an ob/gyn and women's health expert at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., and author of She-ology: The Definitive Guide to Women's Intimate Health. Period., tells SELF. So you'll often feel the most movement after meals, snacks, and at night.
But that doesn't mean you have to be too intense about it.
If you're over the age of 35 or have a health condition, such as gestational diabetes, you may qualify as a high-risk pregnancy. And, if you have a high-risk pregnancy, Jonathan Schaffir, M.D., an ob/gyn from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, tells SELF that you may be instructed to perform kick counts.
That means you'll count the number of kicks, jabs, and movements you feel in utero over the course of a few hours every day. It's generally recommended that you see how long it takes to feel 10 kicks, Dr. Greves says—ideally you want to get 10 within two hours. But most people don't start to feel consistent movements until around week 28 of their pregnancy, so Dr. Schaffir says you shouldn't worry if you don't feel regular kicks before then.
Even if you don't have a high-risk pregnancy, you can do kick counts if it makes you feel more comfortable. But again, it's not necessary for pregnancies that aren't considered high risk. The only thing that's essential for all pregnant people is to be aware in a more general sense of their baby's movements.
Your baby should be active throughout your pregnancy.
That includes the weeks and days approaching your due date, at which point the movements may not be as intense, Dr. Schaffir says. "There's less room for the baby to let go with a big kick or punch, but there should still be frequent rolling or squirming." Dr. Greves agrees. "You may not feel them kick like they're trying to kick a field goal, but you should still feel it."
If you notice that your baby is less active than usual, Dr. Schaffir recommends drinking a big glass of water (dehydration can sometimes be a factor), sitting down, and really concentrating on the movements. You'll often feel movement within 15 minutes, Dr. Ruiz says. But if you don't feel anything within an hour or get fewer than eight kicks during that time, call your doctor.
If it's after-hours, get to a hospital for a non-stress test. The test will monitor your baby's heartbeat to see if they're active and healthy. Your doctor may also request an ultrasound to look at the placenta, amniotic fluid, and fetal activity, Dr. Greves says.
But, as Heller warns, it's crucial that you don't simply write off your concerns. "If there is less movement it can sometimes be a sign that the placenta is not working well, there is low amniotic fluid, or a woman has pre-eclampsia," Dr. Sharma says. Fetal movements are generally seen as a measure of a baby's health, and a lack of movements can be an early sign that something is wrong—and sometimes dangerously wrong "If there is a sudden change, seek medical attention," Dr. Greves says. "Don't wait until tomorrow."

'American Sniper' jurors: Ex-Marine knew right from wrong
Updated: Feb. 25, 2015, 12:17 p.m.
STEPHENVILLE, Texas (AP) — Jurors who rejected and insanity defense and convicted a former Marine in the deaths of famed "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle and his friend said Wednesday the man's past behavior undermined his argument that he couldn't tell right from wrong.
After a two-week trial in which jurors heard testimony about defendant Eddie Ray Routh's erratic behavior, including statements about anarchy, the apocalypse and pig-human hybrids, they convicted him Tuesday night in the deaths of Kyle and Chad Littlefield at a Texas shooting range two years ago.
Juror Christina Yeager told ABC's "Good Morning America" that Routh displayed a similar pattern in prior run-ins with police — he would become intoxicated and then tell responding officers he was a victim of post-traumatic stress disorder. "Every time something bad happened he pulled that card," Yeager said.
Barrett Hutchinson said jurors were not convinced by the claim that Routh was having a psychotic episode when he shot the men.
"He knew the consequences of pulling the trigger," Hutchinson said.
Routh showed no reaction as a judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole, an automatic sentence since prosecutors didn't seek the death penalty in the capital murder case. As one of his victim's siblings called him an "American disgrace" shortly after, Routh looked back at the man intensely.
The verdict capped an emotional trial in which prosecutors painted the 27-year-old as a troubled drug user who knew right from wrong, despite any mental illnesses. Defense attorneys said he suffered from schizophrenia and was suffering from a psychotic episode at the time of the shootings. Routh's defense team said they would appeal.
While trial testimony and evidence often included Routh making odd statements and referring to insanity, he also confessed several times, apologized for the crimes and tried to evade police after the crime.
"You took the lives of two heroes, men who tried to be a friend to you," Chad Littlefield's half brother Jerry Richardson told Routh after the verdict. "And you became an American disgrace."
Routh's trial drew intense interest, in part because of the blockbuster film based on former Navy SEAL Kyle's memoir about his four tours in Iraq. Warner Bros., the studio that produced the film, declined to comment on the verdict.
Jurors had three options: find Routh guilty of capital murder, find him not guilty, or find him not guilty by reason of insanity. If found not guilty by reason of insanity, the court could have initiated proceedings to have him committed to a state mental hospital.
"We're so thrilled that we have the verdict that we have tonight," Littlefield's mother, Judy Littlefield, said outside the courthouse.
The Littlefield family had waited "two years for God to get justice for us," she said. "He was faithful."
Kyle's widow, Taya Kyle, left the courtroom during the defense's closing statements earlier in the day and did not return when the verdict was read. Chris Kyle's brother and parents were among a group hugging and crying inside the courtroom after the verdict was read. They did not issue a statement.
Richardson and Littlefield's father, Don Littlefield, were the only two people to give statements in court. Don Littlefield told Routh that even though his son never served in the military, he was honored to help those who did. "He was trying to help you," he told Routh.
Kyle and Littlefield had taken Routh to the shooting range at Rough Creek Lodge and Resort on Feb. 2, 2013, after Routh's mother asked Kyle to help her troubled son. Family members say Routh suffered from PTSD from serving in Iraq and in Haiti after a devastating 2010 earthquake.
Richardson told Routh his PTSD claims "have been an insult to every veteran who served with honor."
Routh's mother, Jodi Routh, who was questioned by prosecutors about why she didn't warn Kyle of her son's mental troubles, sat expressionless in the courtroom as the verdict was read.
A forensic psychologist testified for prosecutors that Routh was not legally insane and suggested he may have gotten some of his ideas from television. Dr. Randall Price said Routh had a paranoid disorder made worse by his use of alcohol and marijuana, calling his condition "cannabis-induced psychosis."
Defense attorneys noted that Kyle had described Routh as "straight-up nuts" in a text message to Littlefield as they drove to the luxury resort. They said Routh, who had been prescribed anti-psychotic medication often used for schizophrenia, believed the men planned to kill him.
Asked by a reporter for The New Yorker magazine in a jailhouse call if he thought about the day he shot the men, Routh replied, "It tore my (expletive) heart out when I did it," later adding, "I guess you live and you learn, you know."
A resort employee discovered the bodies of Kyle and Littlefield about 5 p.m. that day. About 45 minutes later, authorities say Routh pulled up to his sister's home in Kyle's truck and told her he had killed two people.
She called police, who later located Routh sitting in front of his home in the truck. A police video showed officers trying to coax him from the truck.
"He told us he'd taken a couple of souls and he had more souls to take," Lancaster police Lt. Michael Smith testified.
