We speak to Deep Root Records CEO Ajamu Kambon
Shelley Dodds January 19, 2021
Ajamu Kambon, Co-Founder of New York City's Deep Root Records, is redefining the music and event planning industry as we know it by enabling up-and-coming talents to collaborate with the hottest names in the game today. Rooted in his passion for sharing music that ignites souls around the world, Kambon's Deep Root Records is introducing a new recording company model that will deliver more music to listeners, more options to rising talents, and more collaboration opportunities to usher in a new wave of music production.
Ajamu started Deep Root Records with music producer Francis Mercier because of his love for good music and his ability to see talent within musicians and artists. He believes they can use their music to become an integral part of transforming music culture.
Covid-19 was a real curveball for Deep Root Records, and they couldn't have foreseen the inevitable havoc faced by the industry when forced to completely shut down. When April 2020 came around and Deep Root confirmed the cancellation of more than 120 events for the remainder of 2020 which included Spring & Summer World Tours for their entire roster, it became abundantly clear that the future of live events was uncertain.
Yet, after almost 6 years of operating the label, and amassing a community of 60+ Producers and DJs, 25+ Promoters, and 15+ Freelancers, they felt they had a responsibility to see the pandemic through and come out stronger in the end. They quickly adapted and felt expansion digitally, via the music arm of their enterprise, was the way to go.
In May 2020 they fully launched the #UnitedByMusic live stream series and fundraiser, in partnership with Paris's Radio FG and the Recording Academy's/Grammys MusiCares. With an audience of over 2 million people, #UnitedByMusic continues to serve as their main initiative of support to their artists and community— one of their best endeavours to date.
How did you deal with the initial outbreak, back in March, specifically regarding your events department?
I knew it was something more than the flu, but I had no idea it would last this long. We had hundreds of ticket holders for immediate events simply save their tickets for a later date in the Spring. International artists had to cancel their travel itineraries. Everything from that point became tentative.
We basically placed all operations on hold and just expected to postpone everything. However, as the pandemic seemed to become increasingly dire, we paused business as usual and took several weeks to regroup and plan for the rest of the year.
Which methods have you used to continue hosting events or fostering experiences, despite the ongoing pandemic?
Utilizing our partners to come together and create our most significant effort; our live streams. Live streams have significantly helped resuscitate some form of life into the industry. Our live stream held in celebration of our 5thanniversary with Radio FG, France's first radio station that broadcasts deep house and electro house music, was so successful that we recognized a bright opportunity to virtually extend our Deep Root Sessions residency at Manhattan's Public Arts.
Regarding the annual Yacht Series, what health & safety procedures were implemented, and how effective were they? Did people seem ready to party as usual?
For a brief period between late May and late July, New York was classified as Phase 3, with 25% – 50% capacity outdoor dining and nightlife, permitting us to operate our Summer Yacht Series within state and city guidelines. It helped bring back a sense of normalcy and also allowed us to employ fellow nightlife professionals who were out of jobs for months, such as DJs, promoters, event managers, security, bartenders, and hosts. It was a great feeling to show up for our community while remaining safe and regulated.
All yacht patrons were required to wear masks and temperatures were taken before boarding. Masks were also provided on-site and social distancing was enforced. For example, all tables were at least six feet apart. In addition, hand sanitizing stations were visible aboard all vessels and we noted contact information for primary guests of all tables and patrons, as a precautionary measure in the event that contact tracing may be employed. All staff was required to be tested for COVID-19 before working and were of course subjected to wear masks at all times. Later on, restrictions were updated and limited indoor venues to 25% capacity and even prohibited altogether at times. To accommodate these regulations, guests were only permitted to enjoy the outside areas of the vessel and the indoor space was reserved for only one or two guests at a time for the restrooms.
Although the new rules and regulations took some time to get used to, our consumer base seemed grateful to be able to make the most of the last, fleeting moments of a chaotic summer. Inevitably, we had to adjust the structure of our events, but people were able to get out of the house and enjoy live music with friends. I think that our loyal customers were also excited to have an opportunity to support our label, artists, and collaborators. Our mission has always been to foster an experience that provides an escape from reality, and it seems that our truncated version of events in the brief period of time that we were able to host them this summer, was able to deliver a feeling of hope in the midst of a crazy year.
Have live streams and virtual events been as successful as events held in person?
In my view, live streams have been more successful than events held in person, given the circumstances. There are no restrictions on how many people can be a part of an artist's performance and musical journey, not to mention, the logistics are a fraction of what it takes to plan, organize, and produce a live event in person. Live streams and virtual events are the safest options during this pandemic, and also the most opportunistic. The potential reach to the rest of the world is unparalleled, and the show can go on for hours.
However, the challenge that many industry professionals are facing currently is the question of how to build a dependable revenue stream from virtual events. Labels, artists, and event companies usually end up either breaking even or possibly even losing money by producing such shows. Our main goal is to invest in our brand and artists and allow their musical performances to flourish despite a worldwide lockdown. Live streams at its core are for the people, there are no profits nor awards. The reward is allowing the world to still be able to experience an art form enjoyed by all.
How did you manage to transform your events experience into the online realm?
Ultimately, our focus on partnerships and collaborations helped to strengthen our brand and online reach. We pursued a relationship with one of the most influential radio stations in France, Radio FG, and eventually established connections with more leading platforms within the electronic music genre, such as Madorasindahouse, Pure Ibiza Radio, Data Transmission, ThatDrop.com, Koolwaters, Techno Live Sets, Clubbing TV, ASmallWorld, and many others.
Furthermore, our #UnitedByMusic live stream initiative in collaboration with The Recording Academy, otherwise known as the Grammy MusiCares, has also allowed us to create a platform that is able to provide funds and donations to those within the entertainment, hospitality, and music industries going through a difficult time. We have streamlined efforts towards featuring big names alongside our rising stars and local talent. This has proved to help immensely in regards to growing the series. We have had artists such as Roger Sanchez, Kenny Dope, Barbara Tucker, DJ Chus, Tube & Berger, Leftwing: Kody, Offaiah, CID, Moonboots, Paso Doble, Andrew Meller, Marc Vedo, Dub Tiger, and Layla Benitez all bless our live steam sessions.
What has been the most difficult thing for the label while transitioning online?
It has been challenging to re-brand ourselves in a way, and really put ourselves at the forefront of our competition. Our events in person have always been a differentiating factor from other labels. With all live events and shows being canceled, we have shifted our focus to the music department and are working towards building ourselves up as the best independent dance music label in the market. Our media team has adapted their roles to serve the music department as well. They have transformed our social media content in a way that better promotes our music and content solely online, as opposed to using events as a conduit.
Moreover, we have been navigating the digital space full-force along with the rest of the world. We've had to discover new ways to balance our workflow amidst different time zones, planning and organizing video calls on multiple platforms, and organizing recordings not only domestically but internationally, without meeting a soul.
Do you think festivals and club events will be different when things open back up?
Especially within metropolitan cities in the U.S., I think we will see a more Euro-centric event production style. I believe within a year or two, events and nightlife will get a total facelift and resurgence of ideas in terms of innovation within the space. It may be very similar to how the Roaring '20s took place after the 1918 Spanish Flu. The idea of going out and experiencing the night was a lifestyle and I'm actually pretty excited for what the future holds once things are fully open again. When that day comes, Deep Root Records will be ready!

Though this post is appearing on 1 July, the anniversary of the opening of the Battle of the Somme, that is purely coincidental. There is no evidence that Thomas Arthur Talbot's service even took him outside the United Kingdom.
He is listed as one of the Beddington ringers on the roll, but had also rung at both Croydon towers. He appears to have been the ninth of nine children of Joseph Talbot and Emily (nee Dann). They married at Paddington Parish Church (St James's Paddington) on 16 February 1859. Joseph was a coachman living at Hyde Park Garden Mews and Emily a needlewoman living at Hyde Park Square. Both were the children of domestic servants themselves. As they lived in a mews houses when in London, I've not been able to establish which family they worked for, the births of their children are split between Hyde Park Garden Mews (they are in either 46 or 47 at successive censuses) and Hertfordshire, predominantly Great Berkhamsted, but one child was born in Chorleywood. The first of Thomas's siblings, Emily Mary was born in London on 23 January 1860. She was followed by Catharine Anne in early 1862 (Chorleywood), Hannah in mid 1863 (London), Joseph David in mid 1865 (Great Berkhamsted), Louisa in late 1867 (Great Berkhamsted), Alice in late 1870 (Great Berkhamsted), Ellen Ada in late 1872 (Great Berkhamsted), Amy Elizabeth in mid 1875 (Great Berkhamsted), and the baby of the family, Thomas himself in early 1880 (Great Berkhamsted). He was baptised in Great Berkhamsted on 8 February 1880. It is possible there were other, short-lived, children who do not appear in any of the censuses.
By 1891 his father had retired and the family were living at 54 Borough Hill, Croydon. The household at the 1891 census comprised Joseph (59), Emily (56), Emily Mary (31), Catharine Anne (29), Joseph David (26), a warehouseman, Amy Elizabeth (15), Thomas himself (11), at school, and also a lodger, recorded as Henry J Rumble. It seems he may have been normally known by his middle name as James, and that it was he who introduced Joseph David and Thomas to bellringing. Certainly James Rumble and Joseph Talbot are recorded ringing together from 1892.
The first mention of Thomas Talbot ringing is from 1895, at St John's Croydon, where he helped out on the tenor for a peal of Oxford Bob Triples. Though it is the peal of Grandsire Triples (again at St John's) that is marked as his first peal on 22 March 1898. This also marked his election to the Surrey Association of Church Bell Ringers. In 1900 he rang a peal at St Peter's, South Croydon.
At the 1901 census the family were still at 54 Borough Hill, the household now comprising Joseph (68), Emily (65), Emily Mary (41), a dressmaker, Alice (30), a nurse domestic, and Thomas (21), now a carpenter. Also present were Louisa Crawley (33, nee Talbot), already widowed and with children Louisa E (4) and Arthur J (2 months). Henry J Rumble was still lodging with the family too.
Up to 1904 Thomas appears annually, so slightly more, in ringing reports, with his first connection with Beddington from 1901. On 9 February 1907 he married Agnes Annie Kenyon at Holy Trinity, Selhurst. Their first child, Marjorie Annie, followed later the same year. In 1908 he makes his first appearance as a ringer for some time, returning to St John's, Croydon, to ring a quarter peal with his brother which was a farewell to the conductor, E Bray, who was about to move to Eastbourne.
His mother, Emily, died around the same time, aged 73. A second child, a son, Edward George, arrived late in 1908, followed by Dora Lilian in early 1911. By the 1911 census, Thomas Arthur (31) and Agnes Annie (25) were living at Broadmoor Cottages, Wotton, Dorking with their three children. Dora had been born in Wotton. Thomas is shown to be a self-employed carpenter, so they may just have been living there temporarily while he worked on a job.
The outbreak of war doesn't initially seem to have made much difference. It was only 11 December 1916 that Thomas attested, probably under the Derby Scheme. He joined the Royal Engineers where his civilian carpentry skills could be put to good use. He attested at Woolwich, and the entry in the recruitment register shows that he was 35 years, 11 months old, 5'8.25″ tall, weighed 129 lbs and had a 34.5″ chest. The family were then living at 6 Ravensworth Road. No other trace of his military service has been definitely traced. There is no medal index card for Thomas A Talbot in the Royal Engineers (he does not appear to have given his middle name at enlistment), though there is only one Thomas Talbot with no middle initial who served with them: however his rank is given as sapper, and the roll shows Thomas as a corporal. Given his age it is quite possible that he served only at home however.
Following the war, the family seem to have settled in Beddington, and Thomas begins to appear regularly in peal and quarter peal reports once again. From Remembrance Day 1923 his son, Edward George, also begins to appear regularly and became quite a well-known ringer.
Thomas died on 21 October 1947 in Wallington. He had been living at 4 Camden House, Guy Road. Administration of his estate was granted to Edward George and Marjorie Annie (now de Freitas), it's not clear why Dora is not named. His estate was valued at £1679 11s 11d.

Stephen Walter Godin, listed as a Beddington ringer, was initially one of the harder men on the roll to pin down. Census searches immediately found two candidates for the S Godin listed on the roll, Stephen Walter Godin of Croydon and Stephen Walter Godin (some sources have him as Stephen Walker Godin) of New Malden. Neither far from Beddington, but no obvious direct connection with it either. Research in military record suggested that the New Malden man served as an officer in the Royal Naval Air Service and RAF. While there are some errors in the units given in the original roll of honour, this seemed to rule him out as the roll stated that S Godin served with King's Royal Rifle Corps.
Eventually my policy of trawling through the wartime issues of The Ringing World paid off, with a report of S Godin "one of Beddington's youngsters" ringing his first quarter peal for Palm Sunday (1 April) 1917. The Croydon man would have been just under 18 at that time, the New Malden man 34. It was then relatively easy to piece together the remaining details – though it has not been possible to confirm service with the King's Royal Rifle Corps.
Stephen Walter Godin's parents, Ernest Godin (25) and Edith Lucy Tullett (22), married at St Peter's, Croydon on 19 December 1897. Ernest was an upholsterer, the fathers of both bride and groom had already died. Ernest's address is given as 14 Duppas Hill Lane, Croydon, Edith's as 22 Duppas Hill Lane. Ernest's father (also Stephen Walter Godin) had been an upholsterer too, Edith's a railway porter. Stephen (their first child) was born in late 1899, he was baptised on 24 December 1899, but unfortunately the register does not note his actual date of birth. The family were then living at 74a Frith Road, where they still were when the 1901 census was taken on 31 March 1901.
A younger brother, Frederick Ernest, was born in late 1903; and a sister, Edith May, in mid 1908. By 1911 the family had moved a short distance to 30 Frith Road. It is not clear exactly when Ernest started ringing, now why he went to Beddington, rather than the parish church of St Peter's Croydon. They did not live that far from Arthur Ernest Plowman and his family, who was about 18 months older than Stephen, so it may simply have been that they were friends. There does not appear to be any record of Ernest Godin ever having been a ringer.
The 1917 quarter peal seems to be the only record of a specific piece of ringing by Stephen, no trace of a peal has been found. In the normal course of events he would have been called up later that year, no entry has been found in the Surrey Recruitment Registers (these are not complete). There is no medal index card (or any other surviving military record), this would suggest that any overseas service must have been after the Armistice.
While he does not seem to have been a prolific ringer, he seems to have been a steady Sunday service man. He died aged only 26 on 24 June 1926. He was buried on 28 June, and the following day a half-muffled peal of Grandsire Triples was rung in his memory. All eight members of the band were aged under 21 (the ages proudly listed in the peal report range from 16 to 20). The conductor, George Jennings (20) was ringing his 25th peal.

Would your business survive if Pinterest disappeared tomorrow?
I know, the thought of Pinterest disappearing seems crazy….ridiculous even. I mean, everyONE and their mother is on Pinterest….right?! Heck…Pinterest is definitely ON TOP since they're going public…right?!
Here's the deal about Pinterest going public….there are BIG changes on the horizon. Did you know that up to this point, Pinterest hasn't even been profitable?!
I mean HOW can you run a large-scale company like Pinterest and not be profitable?
See, these private investors believe in the marketing power of Pinterest and have been investing in the company with the hopes of it paying off big time…presumably when Pinterest goes public. Because, as people buy shares, the investors will start to see that return in investment. But, here's where the switch happens…..
But, think about this for a minute….Pinterest "primarily makes money by attracting advertisers to it's platform". Well, when Pinterest goes public it's going to change the entire dynamic of the platform (oh, and they didn't classify themselves as a social platform…food for thought)…once public, Pinterest will be held to a new standard of profitability with incoming share-holders. Share-holders are going to demand that Pinterest becomes profitable….and if they "primarily make money by attracting advertisers to its platform"…then that means more sponsored pins and ads.
In the same way we saw organic reach decline to just 1-6% on Facebook, I foresee the same organic reach declining on Pinterest. Can your blogging business survive if you no longer receive traffic from Pinterest?
So what are you going to do?
You could pretend it's not happening and keep riding on the Pinterest wave until it crashes.
You can focus on SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
You can try to build traffic on other social platforms.
Or, you can stop chasing traffic and start chasing profits….like I did.
Check out this free video webinar: Small Blog, Big Profits and learn my secrets for success without chasing traffic.
What do you think? Do you think we're going to see big changes once Pinterest goes public?


CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION Rectangular flat tile, with white slip. Complex design of triangular elements at top and bottom with vertical elements at either side, a diagonal stepped design in the center. Double black border, brown slipped decoration. Made in a mold. CONDITION: Holes in top and bottom center.


I thought this was rather interesting. There is an open reservoir in Los Angeles which has recently been discovered to contain elevated levels of Bromate. Bromate has been discovered to cause cancer but according to scientists, the risk is only attached to humans if bromate is consumed over the course of one's lifetime.
The water needs to be shaded because when sunlight mixes with the bromide and chlorine in Ivanhoe's water, the carcinogen bromate forms, said Pankaj Parekh, DWP's director for water quality compliance. Bromide is naturally present in groundwater and chlorine is used to kill bacteria, he said, but sunlight is the final ingredient in the potentially harmful mix.
So instead of placing a tent over the entire body of water, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power dropped 400,000 pebble weighted black balls into the reservoir to act as a blanket from the sun. This is the same technique used to deter birds from congregating in water covered openings near airports.
I would of embedded their video into the blog, but they have some of the worst embed code I have ever seen. It doesn't even work when posting it into the WordPress post editor, even in HTML mode.
That puts a new twist on getting black balled.

How Kathryn Kuhlman Overcame a Murderous Spirit
By Karen Hardin
Forty years ago, Kathryn Kuhlman went on to glory. The healing anointing and miracle mantle that marked her life are still inspiring believers around the world today through books, recordings and video—but it could have been much different.
Few know what she had to overcome to leave this legacy. Beyond the poor upbringing and the difficult divorce, an antichrist spirit raged against her. Hell worked to derail Kathryn's life and ministry—and remove the fiery redhead from her God-given seat of authority.
It's important to understand what was at work against Kathryn's miracle ministry because that same devil is roaming about in this hour to destroy believers willing to stand for Christ. An antichrist spirit is manifesting in society through Jesus mocking, legal battles to remove Christian symbols from the public square and other destructive forces intent on muting the church's voice.
The antichrist spirit, which we see operating in Daniel 7:25, works to wear down, devastate and destroy the saints through persecution, criticism, judgment and offense. Antichrist—or anti-anointing—spirits operate like battering rams, pummeling the saints with a constant barrage of harassment and pounding away at the fortitude and stamina of their targets. Many weary soldiers have laid down their weapons and walked away from their gifts and callings instead of running to the battle line with their full armor on to combat this wicked giant—but not Kathryn.
What many don't know is that this spirit almost took Kathryn out—and it did take out her husband. In fact, many church leaders have fallen prey to this spirit, compromising the gospel, falling into unthinkable sin and refusing to repent. The Great Falling Away is underway. But not Kathryn. She endured the spiritual warfare and ran her race to the end.
"Miss Kuhlman was one of the key players in God's plan for his 20th-century church," says Roberts Liardon, author of Kathryn Kuhlman: A Spiritual Biography. "In a literal sense of the word, she was a forerunner of the church of the future. There was a prophetic tone in her ministry that showed what the church would look like in times to come."
A Prophecy Exposes the Attack
Kathryn faced an overwhelming antichrist spirit attack early in her ministry. An anti-anointing spirit rose up through city leaders who once celebrated her. Suddenly, one by one, they turned their backs on Kathryn. That was almost enough to silence her voice. But God made her stand. Shane Philpott, pastor of Christian Fellowship Church in Mason City, Iowa, and author of the new book Kathryn Kuhlman: The Radio Chapel Years, stumbled upon the enemy's agenda accidentally.
At the close of Philpott's midweek service in 2005, he felt a burden to speak and release a prophetic word. As he describes it, prophetic revelation broke forth and set the stage for the remarkable journey upon which he would soon embark. Here's what he says the Lord told him:
"I will set right that which is wrong, and I will do that which has not been done, and together we will finish that which was begun. That which was begun years ago shall see its day and shall see its hour. It shall spring forth. Justice is Mine, and I will redeem from the hands of the enemy that which has been lost for decades, and I will bring it back in the 70th year. As it was in the days of Daniel, so shall it be in your day.'"
Because his church was in the same city as Radio Chapel, the prophetic word started Philpott on a journey that led him to historical news accounts buried in Philadelphia's archives.
Researching the prophecy also led him to the one couple who served alongside Kathryn and her husband during the turbulent years. He was the only man ordained by her ministry during that season—Rev. Keith Williams. He and his wife, Mary—in their early 90s at the time of Philpott's research––were still alive and ready to share the mystery few knew.
Philpott's research into this brief but significant episode in Kathryn's life reveals what has been largely a mystery for the past 70 years. There were various assumptions but few actual facts surrounding this dark season in her ministry. Yet, the spiritual assault she endured decades ago remains significant and especially relevant to what is happening in the body of Christ today.
"It was clear that there was far more to this story than just what happened to Kathryn personally," Philpott explains. "It went far deeper. This scenario has been played out in ministries over and over again seeking to bring shame, public humiliation and ridicule upon God's people to remove them from their calling."
Shaking Religious Foundations
As Kathryn often said, "You must be willing to pay the price." She paid a dear price. Philpott's investigation reveals the deeper journey and the anti-anointing attacks she endured to walk in the anointing she carried.
"From July 1937 through May 1939, Kathryn, who was in her 20s then, was known as the 'Girl Evangelist.' At that time she both ministered at and presided over Radio Chapel, a state-of-the-art facility and the first 'megachurch' built by the man who would become her husband, Burroughs Waltrip," Philpott explains. "In his own right, Burroughs was a prophet and apostle with a unique anointing. The joining of their lives and ministries resulted in a grand ministry of evangelism, revival and salvation located in the heartland of America."
Radio Chapel was a church unlike any other in its day—and perhaps unlike any since. Pioneered in 1937, the church rapidly emerged as a powerful ministry base of revival and one of the most spectacular nondenominational churches to grace the American landscape of that day.
"Burroughs dreamed of bringing salvation to thousands through his dynamic and unique end-time preaching," Philpott says. "He was immediately embraced by the people, city leaders and pastors of the city. A petition was circulated and signed by over 500 people requesting that he stay in Mason City to continue a permanent work for the revival that had begun.
"Kathryn, meanwhile, was making massive strides in the Pentecostal movement as the passionate, yet eloquent, pastor of the famed Denver Revival Tabernacle. For a brief time, Burroughs and Kathryn, who would marry in 1938, took America's Heartland by storm and shook its religious foundations. These were some of the earliest, most obscure and misunderstood years of Kathryn's ministry."
At the height of Radio Chapel's success, the church was conducting services six days a week, broadcasting daily over the radio and hosting both national and international speakers. Attendance at these services could run upward of 1,000 people nightly with dozens of decisions for Christ during every meeting. Radio Chapel published its own monthly magazine and pursued evangelistic outreaches across the country. Yet, Philpott says, its spectacular beginning was eclipsed by its thunderous collapse.
The Tale of Two Preachers
For Kathryn and her husband, after experiencing an incredible anointing, numerous salvations and miracles followed by a relentless barrage of attacks, they were sent packing as a foreclosure notice was nailed to the door of their church, which was padlocked shut.
"Saddled with immense debt, a lawsuit, governmental opposition, strife from surrounding churches and souring public opinion, it was over as quickly as it had begun," Philpott says. "All of this transpired in a short span of just 23 months."
"After their divorce, Burroughs quickly faded into obscurity, eventually disappearing and never to be heard from again by either family or friends. As for Kathryn, she went on to achieve international honor and recognition as one of the most influential faith preachers of the 20th century."
Their marriage lasted another eight years but ended quietly in divorce. Wayne Warner, the author of Kathryn's 1993 biography, The Woman Behind the Miracle, says the experience set Kathryn back in ministry. Warner says she wanted to keep the Burroughs years a "closed chapter" in her life. The now-retired historian never found anything in his research where Kathryn addressed the lessons she gleaned from the debacle or her marriage to Burroughs.
The difference of how the two weathered the storm of accusation is significant in this hour, for similar public accusations against believers are increasing. Kathryn chose one road, her husband another. Kathryn resurrected to shine even brighter than before. Burroughs faded into complete obscurity—not because one was greater than the other, however. It was about choices.
"It has always been the nature of hateful people to attempt to crush the gifts and callings that God has entrusted to His servants, and it will continue to be so until Christ's return," Philpott says. "The apostle Paul wrote, 'Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.'"
"One of Satan's most effective methods for hindering the spread of the gospel is to use faithless people to attack and slander the efforts of God's preachers. The overwhelming opposition that Burroughs Waltrip and Kathryn Kuhlman encountered, both inside and outside the walls of their own church, successfully thwarted the spread of the gospel in that area for quite some time."
Think about it for a minute. It must have been beyond bearable to see people who once cheered her on betray her. Jesus, of course, could relate. Thankfully, our High Priest strengthened Kathryn's resolve to do His work even in the face of a demonic attack against her character. She went to her own cross, despising the shame, and came out of a hellish experience with greater faith and passion for the Holy Spirit who comforted her when no one else could.
"Like the proverbial Phoenix that arose from the ashes, Kathryn did just the same by overcoming the adversity and dishonor that visited her life," Philpott says. "She discovered that rejection and betrayal in one city did not equate to rejection and betrayal in the rest of the nation."
Kathryn's husband, however, did not walk the same road of vindication or resurrection. In fact, years later, his family hired private investigators to try to locate his whereabouts. Burroughs chose a different path, that of a recluse, refusing to open the door again to such personal attack. In doing so, he abdicated his seat of authority, abandoning his call and destiny.
The only evidence of his existence after the Kathryn era was found in Kansas City, Missouri, in the mid-50s. This once powerful revivalist was found working as a salesman for concrete burial vaults for caskets.
"What a tragic example of real life following spiritual precedent," Philpott says. Burroughs disappeared again after that. When or where he died remains a mystery.
Battling for Your Destiny
You may have already encountered this forceful spirit of destruction against your family, your ministry or your business. As John the beloved said, "Even now there are many antichrists. By this we know that it is the last hour" (1 John 2:18). This anti-anointing spirit got bolder after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage and is targeting those who will stand up, speak out and move in authentic miracle ministry that wakes up a lost and dying world.
From firefighters in Atlanta to pizza shops in Oregon to pastors in pulpits across America, believers who have chosen to use their voices to proclaim God's Word have been sorely persecuted—and this is just the beginning. The good news is there is One who brings His Spirit to refresh, re-energize and rekindle weary soldiers willing to keep marching.
All across the world, the landscape is dotted with the light from their candles. They are the remnant. Those who have endured the spiritual attacks and allowed God to restore and strengthen them to stand strong in the face of the next attack on the prophetic voice.
Kathryn Kuhlman, whose foundation just closed in February 2016, is perhaps most remembered for the many miracles people witnessed in her meetings. But perhaps the greatest miracle of all was that she refused to bow to this anti-anointing attack and pressed in to see Jesus set the captives free. In these dark days, let's tap into the same source of courage Kathryn did—and refuse to abdicate our seat of authority in our realm of influence.

But, I've still been shooting. Here are a few pictures from the last few months.
A fish kill a few months ago brought out the vultures to clean up. You usually see them up high. This time it was easy to catch them in flight.
A trip to Ollies Pond was really fruitful. I caught a juvenile Little Blue Heron in the rushes for a closeup. You can tell it from the Snowy Egrets by it's green/yellow legs.
Great Blue Herons were nesting on the other side of the pond. The 200-500mm reached across for a shot I could crop to a useful size.
And one of them was flying back and forth looking for nesting materials.
Ollies suffered greatly from drought and it is in the process of recovery. A lot of marsh plants grew on the rich bottom when it was exposed. A bit of rain refilled the pond and they died off. This is leaving a lot of rotting material to enrich the bottom again but it's a bit ugly now. Still good for the Moorhens who will help clean it up.
A pair of male Grackles were making blustering mating displays for the local ladies.
And a warbler was perched on a dead stalk looking quite dapper.
I also found an Eagle's nest near a local church. I call this one ruffled feathers.
I've gotten an opportunity to go to Alaska, not a photo job but with enough time to take a few shots as we go along. Yesterday I was in Glacier Bay on an absolutely unbelievably clear day. It started out a bit cloudy but cleared when we were actually in the bay.
Here was sunrise as we approached the Icy Straits.
There was relatively heavy sea fog as the sun rose. We followed another ship (Princess Line) into the fog.
That ship actually disappeared into the low fog ahead of it and we followed a mile or two behind. As we passed the strait though the fog lifted to a clear blue sky. This is Margerie Glacier the mountains behind it are called the Fairweather Range. Mount Fairweather is over 15,000 feet high.
Hairstreaks are very small butterflies very quick and flitty. The Fulvous Hairstreak (Electrostrymon angelia) isn't one of the more colorful but still interesting. I found this one on some Cilantro in our garden that was going to seed. The flowers are very tiny.
They are tricky too. Those colorful bits and extensions on the back of the wings serve as decoys to trick predators. While it is feeding the wings are alternating up and down. The appendages actually look more active than the front of the butterfly. As you can see, the wings extend well beyond the body so, it a bird or anole tries to catch it from the head all it gets is a bit of the wing. The colors are very similar to the front too. Sort of a Pushmipullyu of the butterfly world.
A nice little find in a walk around the yard.
I stopped by Ollies Pond for about an hour on the 21st. Like most small bodies of water here in SW Florida the drought had diminished the size and made it easier for fishing birds to get to their dinner. This also means that some of the bigger fish that stayed in the deeper water and didn't get taken are now available. That's probably a good thing for raptors like Ospreys and Eagles but it's tougher on the birds that swallow their prey whole.
There are about 100 or so White Pelicans who have taken to the pond. They tend to feed in rafts with their feet herding the fish around until someone catches one. Once they make a catch, they move away to let others feed.
There were two of these working on the pond and as someone got their fish they moved off as an individual and would eventually join one of the rafts again. It didn't seem to matter which there was a lot of transfer between rafts.
Now and again a large fish managed to get caught by one of the pelicans. The two I saw looked to me like Tilapia. The first was really large and the Pelican was having a lot of difficulty with it. It was actually damaging the pouch with it's sharp spined fins and biting. It moved away before I actually saw it swallowed.
Another one had found a slightly smaller fish and eventually managed to get it down. You can see the comparison of the neck in the second image here.
Every now and again you capture a shot that just looks a bit odd. The guy here on the saddle bronc has just finished a full ride of 8 seconds. But even with the horse still bucking he looks calm, cool, and collected. It looks like he's engaged in a conversation with the pickup crew right in front of the ice cream stand.
As you can see in the next picture though, this was a planned maneuver to block the horse and allow him to get off safely.
Pretty cool maneuver and one that takes excellent horsemanship on everybody's part to pull off and make look easy.
Another few shots from the Arcadia All-Florida Championship Rodeo. This time it's a Barrel Racer rounding one of the barrels. When I shoot action like this I shoot at about 3 frames per second. That's pretty slow by some photographers standards and my cameras will shoot faster but that also produces a lot more shots to go through to select those you want to present or preserve. These four shots took 1 second to complete. The first shot at zero 16:57:14 by the time stamp and the last at 16:57:15.
If you think this is quick for one second the lady in the pink shirt is one of the pro riders and gets around the whole arena making three barrel turns in less than 20 seconds.
These guys may dress a little funny and look like clowns but it's really a serious business that requires all the skill and athleticism or the riders. Here are a couple of close shots of them in action from the 89th Arcadia All-Florida Championship Rodeo being held this weekend at the Heard St. Arena. It will be the last one there as it is moving to the new Mosaic Arena next year.

Q: Strange issue with Indexed UITableView's section index title is incorrect I ran into a strange issue with my indexed tableview's section index titles.  The index titles returned is correct (A - Z) as outputted by the debugging code below but the displayed index titles on the right side of the table is separated with • instead.  So instead of A B C D... I get A • C • E •... instead.
Any idea what's causing this? I have another tableview in my app but that tableview doesn't suffer from this problem but I haven't figured out why yet.

- (NSArray *)sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {

 NSMutableArray *sectionTitles = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease];
 [sectionTitles addObject:UITableViewIndexSearch];
 [sectionTitles addObjectsFromArray:[self.fetchedResultsController sectionIndexTitles]];

        // NSArray *debug = [self.fetchedResultsController sectionIndexTitles];
        // CFShow(debug);
 return sectionTitles;
}

A: This is caused when the height available to display the index is less than what is needed to display each letter.  The index is abbreviated (or shrunk).  This effect will also occur when the keyboard is displayed and the index is still visible.

Libya sacks defense minister after clashes, amid volatile security situation
TRIPOLI, Libya – Libya's Prime Minister Ali Zidan has sacked the defense minister, after three days of gun battles in the capital and amid a deteriorating security situation.
In a news conference Thursday, Zidan said he sacked Mohammed al-Barghathi after different militias working for the defense and interior ministries fought in Tripoli.
Security officials said at least 10 were killed and dozens injured in the clashes. On Wednesday, three car bombs exploded, killing two and injuring 16 in the southern city of Sabha, officials said.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
Zidan described the clashes as a "suicidal scene" and said militias will be forced out of Tripoli.
Nearly two years after Moammar Gadhafi's ouster, successive governments depend on militias to maintain security.

Locked-Out Union Workers Consider Crystal Contract
Union workers will vote on Saturday on a contract the company says contains substantial increases in wages and other benefits.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — For nearly 11 months, they picketed in sub-zero temperatures, marched on company headquarters, prayed with religious leaders and traveled 200 miles on a hay wagon. Now, the locked-out union workers at American Crystal Sugar Co. will decide whether they're tired of walking and talking.
The union has scheduled a third vote Saturday on a contract that triggered the first labor impasse in 30 years at the largest sugar beet processor in the country.
On Aug. 1, American Crystal kicked out about 1,300 workers in what a vice president called a proactive move.
Experts say it's a successful strategy that has become popular with employers throughout the country, with 17 lockouts in 2011. Robert Combs, a researcher for Bloomberg BNA, reports that the percentage of lockouts to work stoppages was greater in 2010-11 (nearly 10 percent) than between 2000-2009 (5.5 percent) and 1990-1999 (4 percent).
"Lockouts, which were once fairly rare, are the epitome of employer attempts to control bargaining and be on the offensive," said Gary Chaison, a professor of industrial relations at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. "I see this as a continuation of the trend toward increased employer militancy in collective bargaining."
American Crystal spokesman Brian Ingulsrud said the lockout was a business decision based upon the start of the beet processing season. The company also says the contract — twice rejected by overwhelming margins — is a good one.
"We felt that we couldn't allow the union to be in a position to strike at any time once we started the processing campaign," Ingulsrud said. "We felt very vulnerable with that position. Once the beets are harvested, it's critical that the factories are running and continuing to process those beats. They're perishable items."
The company has been using replacement workers at plants in East Grand Forks, Moorhead, Crookston and Chaska, Minn.; Hillsboro and Drayton, N.D.; and Mason City, Iowa.
Early on, union representatives for the sugar workers argued about health care and benefits, but have since focused on seniority and job security. After the last negotiating session led by a federal mediator on June 8, the company issued a press release that said, "The parties remain far apart."
Mark Froemke, a Crystal Sugar employee and union member for nearly 35 years, believes the animosity between workers and management is at an all-time high. Attacks on labor stretch from coast to coast and corporations have decided to "strike while the iron is hot," he said.
"When you get hit 75 different ways that unions are bad, that unions get things that other people don't get, it's easy for people to believe that the unions, instead of being part of the solution, are part of the problem," Froemke said.
Chaison said employers first attempted to control bargaining in the 1980s by demanding wage and benefit givebacks, as well as wage freezes. That trend abated in the 1990s, but started up again with "increased vigor" at the turn of the century, he said.
"Employers were making demands in bargaining, and all that unions could do was react and often agree to wage freezes or cuts, or reduced benefits in order to avoid layoffs," Chaison said.
Workers in Minnesota received news recently that unemployment benefits scheduled to run out Sunday will likely be extended for another 14 weeks. But unlike Minnesota and Iowa, there's no unemployment insurance in North Dakota.
"I'm very proud of the way people have hung in there," said John Riskey, president of one of the labor unions that represents the workers. "We're still moving ahead and giving it the best we can."
Should the union approve the contract Saturday, Ingulsrud said the two sides would need to iron out a "back to work" agreement, which he describes as "relatively straightforward."
If it is rejected, Ingulsrud said the company would continue to train replacement workers, which is happening in advance of the next processing season. The plants will likely start up in the middle of August, which is earlier than normal because of a large sugar beet crop.
Riskey and Froemke declined to offer predictions about Saturday's union vote.
"I'm not going down the road. Let the people decide," Riskey said.
Froemke instead spoke to the character of his fellow union members.
"Their courage and their dedication to their beliefs should never be pooh-poohed or considered a foolish cause," he said.

440 Greenwell Avenue
Old Greenwell Station 1998
Built in 2017, the new facility was built for $3.6 million dollars to replace the old Greenwell Fire Station (est. 1956). The Greenwell Fire Station was opened for operation on May 1, 2017 and dedicated in a public ceremony on June 27th of that same year. The fire station serves the eastern district of Delhi Township and is home to the Delhi Firefighters Memorial. The Delhi Police also have a substation in the facility. The flag pole for the facility has served as the flagpole for the original fire headquarters on Neeb Road. It was later moved to the old fire station on Greenwell in 2003 after the new Fire Headquarters was built. There it served until moving to its new home on Greenwell in May 2017. The memorial was moved from Five Points Park with elements of its original layout and incorporated into the design of the new fire station. The drive into the station was ceremonially named Sanker/Selhorst Way in recognition of Assistant Chief Robert Sanker (retired) and Captain Pete Selhorst (retired). Both men played an instrumental role in the construction and operation of the original Greenwell Fire Station. The new facility is 11,600 square feet and staffs between 3-5 personnel that operate Engine 36 and Medic 36. The station was recently featured in a June 2018, Fire Apparatus magazine Article
697 Neeb Road
Built in 2003, this facility was built to replace the old Neeb Road Engine House (est. 1935). This station was erected on the site of the original Delhi VFD Engine House, and serves the central district of Delhi township. The original station was remodeled from the 1940's and into the 1980's as the department fleet grew. In 2002, the old station was demolished and personnel and apparatus were temporarily moved to the Public Works facility during construction. The Fire Headquarters houses the Fire Museum, Fire Administration, Zoning, and Park and Recreation. It is over 30,000 square feet and staffs between 4-6 personnel that operate an Aerial, Medic and District car.
6321 Rapid Run Road
Built in 2001, this facility was built to serve the western district of Delhi Township. Prior to 2001 this district was covered by the fire station on Neeb Road. It was built in collaboration with the Oak Hills School District as they both occupy the same structure and share services. This facility is 11,500 square feet and staffs 3 personnel that operate Engine 30 and Medic 30.

Google has given a bunch of its apps the Material Design treatment. Thus far, YouTube isn't one of them, even if you're running Android 5.0. But a few users have noticed a UI change that nudges things in that direction. They've fired up the app and slid out the sidebar, only to see that it's now white. With their avatar in the top left atop a colorful background, YouTube is starting to look ever-so-slightly more like what Lollipop users would expect.
Here's a comparison between the new white sidebar (left) and the black one that I still see on my account (right).
This change appears to have been toggled server-side, as there's no update rolling out that brings it to everyone. That means we can't help you turn it on. But in the meantime, at least we have further confirmation that Google's working on bring YouTube up to date.
Thanks, Johny Honkong and others.

Q: Proof of 5.9 Corollary from Bartle (Integrable Function)

This is form p. 46-47 from the Bartle's text. I don't understand one step in this proof. At the end of the proof, it says that "this integrand is dominated by $g(x)$". We know that $|\frac{\partial{f}}{\partial{t}} (x,t) | \le g(x)$, but does this imply that $|\frac{f(x,t_n) - f(x, t)}{t_n - t}| \le g(x)$?  I think that this is not necessarily true unless if we let n goes to infinity. If not true, we cannot use Dominated Convergence Theorem.
I appreciate if you explain the last step of this proof.
(By the way, $F(t) = \int_X f(x, t) d\mu(x)$.)

A: Since $t \mapsto f(x,t)$ is differentiable for all $(x,t) \in X \times [a,b]$ and $t_n,t \in [a,b]$ we can apply the mean value theorem which guarantees the existence of a point $\xi$ between $t_n$ and $t$ such that
$$\left|\frac{f(x,t_n) - f(x,t)}{t_n - t} \right| = \left|\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}(x,\xi) \right| \leqslant g(x)$$
That $\xi$ may depend upon $x$ and $n$ is immaterial since the dominating  function $g$ applies for any $t \in [a,b]$.

A: Looks like it's been a while, but I'm amending the main ideas left out in the proof to aid the future reader.
First note that every member in the sequence of functions defined by
$$\frac{f(x,t_n)-f(x,t)}{t_n - t} = \left(\frac{1}{t_n-t}\right)f(x,t_n)-\left(\frac{1}{t_n-t}\right)f(x,t)$$
is $\mathbf{X}$-measurable because it is a linear combination, and $x\rightarrow f(x,t)$ is assumed to be $\mathbf{X}$-measurable for each $t\in[a,b]$ (Bartle, p. 45). Therefore the limit $\partial f (x,t)/\partial t $ will also be $\mathbf{X}$-measurable (Corollary 2.10, p. 12).
We now must show that this sequence of functions is integrable, and we do that by showing $x\rightarrow f(x,t)$ is integrable. To do that, note that we assumed $\partial f/\partial t$ exists, or $f$ is differentiable with respect to $t$, on $X\times[a,b]$. This is a sufficient condition to invoke the Mean Value Theorem which guarantees the existence of an $s_1 \in (t_0,t)$ such that:
$$f(x,t)-f(x,t_0) = (t-t_0)\frac{\partial f}{\partial t} (x,s_1)$$
Now, using the Triangle inequality, and the fact that $|\partial f/\partial t|$ is bounded by $g(x)$ we get that:
$$|f(x,t)|=|f(x,t_0) + (t-t_0)\frac{\partial f}{\partial t} (x,s_1)| \leq |f(x,t_0)|+|t-t_0|g(x)$$
Now, since we have assumed in the statement of the corollary above that $x\rightarrow f(x,t_0)$ is integrable, that $x\rightarrow g(x)$ is integrable, and (on p. 45) that $x\rightarrow f(x,t)$ is measurable, we can claim that $x\rightarrow f(x,t)$ is also integrable (Corollary 5.4, p 43).
At this point we have a sequence of integrable functions (by virtue that $x\rightarrow f(x,t)$ is integrable for each $t\in [a,b]$, as we have just proven) that converges to an $\mathbf{X}$-measurable $\partial f (x,t)/\partial t $, and that every term in the sequence of functions is bounded by an integrable function $g$ (by the Mean Value Theorem, see RRL's answer). We can now finally apply Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem to get:
$$F'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}\int f(x,t)d\mu(x) = \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac{F(t_n)-F(t)}{t_n-t} = \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \int\frac{f(x,t_n)-f(x,t)}{t_n-t}d\mu(x)
= \int\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}(x,t)d\mu(x)$$
$$\blacksquare$$

Atriplex intracontinentalis ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung der Melden (Atriplex) in der Familie der Fuchsschwanzgewächse (Amaranthaceae). Sie wurde im Jahr 2007 neu beschrieben und kommt auch in Deutschland und Österreich vor.

Beschreibung
Nach der lateinischen Erstbeschreibung besitzt Atriplex intracontinentalis folgende Merkmale:

Vegetative Merkmale
Atriplex intracontinentalis wächst als einjährige krautige Pflanze, deren aufrechter Stängel Wuchshöhen von bis zu 1 Meter erreicht. Die zarten, beidseitig grünen Blätter sind lanzettlich oder linealisch, ganzrandig oder gezähnt.

Blütenstand und Blüten
Die Blütezeit reicht von Juli bis August. Die Intrakontinentale Melde ist einhäusig getrenntgeschlechtig (monözisch) mit gemischten Blütenständen. Die Blütenknäuel stehen entfernt voneinander, die oberen sind zuweilen angenähert. Die männlichen Blüten besitzen eine vier- oder fünfteilige Blütenhülle. Die weiblichen Blüten werden von zwei krautigen, nicht verhärteten Vorblättern umhüllt. Diese sind bei einer Länge bis 5 mm rhombisch ohne verlängerte Spitze. Am Rand sind sie meist gezähnt, mit drei bis sechs Zähnchen auf jeder Seite. Auf dem Rücken tragen sie oft vorstehende Anhängsel.

Früchte und Samen
Die Fruchtzeit reicht von August bis September. Es gibt zwei Samentypen (Heterokarpie): dunkelrot-schwarze, flache Samen mit einem Durchmesser von 1,1 bis 1,4 mm sowie hellbraune, in der Mitte konkave Samen mit einem Durchmesser von 1,5 bis 1,7 mm.

Unterscheidende Merkmale
Von der Strand-Melde (Atriplex littoralis) unterscheidet sich Atriplex intracontinentalis durch die rhombischen, kleineren und an der Spitze nicht langgestreckten Vorblätter. Außerdem sind ihre Samen hellbraun und nicht rotbraun.

Chromosomenzahl
Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 18.

Photosyntheseweg
Atriplex intracontinentalis ist eine C3-Pflanze mit normaler Blattanatomie.

Vorkommen
Atriplex intracontinentalis ist von Mitteleuropa über den nordwestlichen Teil von Zentralasien bis in die nordwestliche Volksrepublik China (Innere Mongolei) verbreitet. Auch in Ägypten soll sie vorkommen. Das Verbreitungsgebiet in Europa umfasst Deutschland, Österreich, Tschechien, Slowakei, Moldawien, Rumänien, die Ukraine und Russland. Die binnenländischen Vorkommen von Atriplex littoralis, die im Atlas Florae Europaeae für weite Teile Ungarns und den Norden Serbiens angegeben sind, gehören vermutlich auch zu Atriplex intracontinentalis.

Der Lebensraum von Atriplex intracontinentalis sind Anschwemmungen an Gewässerufern. Auf salzigen Böden findet man sie nur zerstreut, daher wird sie von Sukhorukov als weniger halophil als die Strand-Melde angesehen.

Systematik
Atriplex intracontinentalis Sukhor. zählt innerhalb der Gattung Atriplex zur Sektion Teutliopsis Dumort.

Die Erstbeschreibung von Atriplex intracontinentalis erfolgte 2007 durch Alexander Suchorukow in den Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums in Wien, Serie B 108, S. 349 (siehe Literatur). Vorher wurden diese intrakontinentalen Pflanzen fälschlich oft als Atriplex littoralis und sogar als Atriplex laevis bestimmt. Da sie sich deutlich von den Küstenpopulationen unterscheiden, stellte Suchorukow die neue Art auf.

Here we describe only the simplest of methods. For an excellent overview of all those fancy SUMIF and SUMPRODUCTS formulas, please check out Bob Phillips' site. Thanks, Bob!
Sum of units sold where vehicle type is Cars and Color is Black. The SUMIF function doesn't work for multiple criteria in different fields. However, you can use an array formula (sometimes referred to as a CSE formula), which requires you to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter after typing it, instead of just Enter.
Sum of units sold where vehicle type is Cars and color is not Black. Again, this is an array formula, so press Ctrl+Shift+Enter after typing it.
Sum of units sold where vehicle type is Cars and Units Sold is greater than or equal to 1000.
Again, this is an array formula, so press Ctrl+Shift+Enter after typing it.
Sum of "units sold" between 500 and 800 would be another array formula, so press Ctrl+Shift+Enter after typing it.

70+ free employee performance review templates – Word, PDF, & Excel
J. Michael Probert
The biggest problem with performance reviews, according to both managers and employees, is that they take too much time. That's why we created this master list of free performance review templates: so you can save time by choosing the template that's best for your team.
Every organization has a different time of year that they do employee reviews, so we've sorted by annual, biannual (every six months), or quarterly. If you're just looking for a general performance review template, check out the reviews for any time of year.

Q: WPF ContextMenu item style not applied in MVVM I have a WPF application with a context menu based on MVVM. The context menu items can be added dynamically via the corresponding view model. My view looks like this:
<Window x:Class="WpfApp11.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp11"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">

    <Window.Resources>

        <ResourceDictionary>

            <Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}" x:Key="MyItemStyle">
                <Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Header}"/>
            </Style>

            <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="MyItemContainer"
                                      DataType="{x:Type local:MenuItemViewModel}"
                                      ItemsSource="{Binding MenuItems}">
            </HierarchicalDataTemplate>

            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/WpfApp11;component/Resources/Images.xaml" />
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Window.Resources>

    <Border BorderBrush="Blue" BorderThickness="3">
        <Grid>
            <Button Width="100" Height="30">
                <Button.ContextMenu>
                    <ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding MeasurementContextMenu}"
                                 ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource MyItemStyle}"
                                 ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MyItemContainer}"/>
                </Button.ContextMenu>
            </Button>
        </Grid>
    </Border>
</Window>

The view model looks like this:
public class MainModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{

    public MainModel()
    {
        Initialize();
    }

    private void Initialize()
    {
        var first = new MenuItemViewModel("Just a test");
        var second = new MenuItemViewModel("Second");
        first.MenuItems.Add(second);
        MeasurementContextMenu.Add(first);
    }

    public ObservableCollection<MenuItemViewModel> MeasurementContextMenu { get; } = new ObservableCollection<MenuItemViewModel>();

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName]string propertyName = null)
    {
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }
}

And the view model for the menu items:
public class MenuItemViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    #region Fields

    private string _header;

    #endregion Fields

    #region Constructors

    public MenuItemViewModel(string header)
    {
        Header = header;
    }

    #endregion Constructors

    #region Properties

    public string Header
    {
        get
        {
            return _header;
        }
        set
        {
            if(_header != value)
            {
                _header = value;
                OnPropertyChanged();
            }
        }
    }

    public ObservableCollection<MenuItemViewModel> MenuItems { get; } = new ObservableCollection<MenuItemViewModel>();

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName]string propertyName = null)
    {
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }

    #endregion Properties
}

So the hierarchical stuff works as expected, but the applied style doesn't work. So the items appear but without any text. It seems this property doesn't have any impact
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource MyItemStyle}"

How can the style be applied in this case?

A: Get rid of the ItemContainerStyle:
<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding MeasurementContextMenu}"
             ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MyItemContainer}"/>

...and put a TextBlock that binds to Header in the HierarchicalDataTemplate:
<HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="MyItemContainer"
                          DataType="{x:Type local:MenuItemViewModel}"
                          ItemsSource="{Binding MenuItems}">
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Header}" />
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
