Public Work
C.R. Macchi was trained as a systems therapist receiving his doctorate in family therapy from Kansas State University. He is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Arizona, an Approved Supervisor with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT), and a Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) with the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR). He is currently with Arizona State University as a clinical associate professor, academic program lead for the Integrated Behavioral Health and Science of Healthcare Delivery programs, and associate chair of internship programs. He consulted with field experts and developed a program student intern performance rubric that assesses integrated behavioral health provider core competencies. He also developed and teaches a course focused on working with couples and families in primary care.
Macchi is involved in several grant-funded research initiatives focused on the development, implementation, and evaluation of in-person and online trainings, graduate program training, and the development of online data management systems. He is working with a research team that is conducting a study to validate the Practice Integration Profile (PIP), a practice-level integration measure. As the principal investigator, Macchi is leading a team that is developing an asynchronous, online training program designed for adult learners who are providers of integrated team-based healthcare in primary care settings. This initiative is funded by a five-year Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) subcontract with the University of Vermont School of Medicine and in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine. He is on a team overseeing theArizona State University Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Training & Implementation Collaborative (ASU-STIC). This three-year Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant-funded projectworks with five ASU degree programs (i.e., Nursing, Social Work, Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, and Integrated Behavioral Health) focused ondeveloping sustainable training programs for clinical students preparing to work in medical and mental health settings.
As a co-investigator on several previous Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)-funded grants,he led a research team that developed, implemented, and evaluated a multi-delivery training program (i.e., in-person, videoconferencing, and asynchronous online learning modules) designed to support clinicians' use of evidence-based family therapy practices. Macchi administered the projects (i.e., contracting, staffing, research, and budgeting) in collaboration with other statewide stakeholders including the Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services of Kansas, the Association of Community Mental Health Center Directors, and Kansas Health Solutions (a state Medicaid-contracted organization). As the project manager for a five-year, USDA grant-funded initiative, he collaborated with key stakeholders in three Kansas counties training teens to engage with their communities and support increased physical activity.

Director Oliver Stone shook his fist at all those darned Pokémon Go players today, calling the game "a new level of invasion" and warning that it could lead us down a slippery slope to totalitarianism.
The diatribe, which occurred at Comic-Con during a panel discussion for Stone's new film Snowden, is vaguely reminiscent of conversations with an older, slightly batty uncle. "It's not funny," Stone said, according to the Los Angeles Times. He then asserted that the game is simply the latest form of "surveillance capitalism." Oh, Oliver.
To be fair, the comments didn't come entirely out of left field—Snowden, after all, is a film about surveillance and the creeping power and presence of shadowy government bodies. But the level of 1984-like paranoia here is quite impressive.
Then again, the NSA reportedly banned Furbies back when they came out, so perhaps Stone got confused and thinks it's 1999.


Our Approach | Manage a day to day Schedules for Advocates.
At Practiso, we have a rather simple approach. From the very beginning of working on this concept we started to meet several Advocates who enlightened us more clearly on this area.
Here, at Practiso, we are aware as to how difficult it is for the Advocates to manage a day to day legal diary to keep up a proper pace with court schedule. Things like manual entry of all the case details with its relevant date page is not an easy task and that too when it has to be done on a daily basis without any fault.
To many Advocates we met, who were practicing without any associates, we came to know that it is quite difficult for them to come back from the hectic work of court and then manual reentering the whole lot of cases in their respective next hearing dates all alone. And, it's not only difficult for Advocates practicing singly but also for a firm of Advocates which involves entries from multiple Advocates. It became very clear that a lot was to be done in this area to make the working of the Advocates much simpler.
Practiso, is one handy app that helps the Advocates to keep all their cases at one place. Starting from the date of filing the case, one can make whole record of the case simply by entering the next hearing date which will be notified on the entered date automatically and thus will reduce the manual work considerably. Practiso mainly aims at keeping the effective work in view and reducing the work load on the same time.

Rosewood Communities "Nails" its First Home for Hope!
Dedication of a Home for Hope in Greenville, South Carolina. Mike Lennon and Mark Nyblom, the builder.
Dedication of a Home for Hope in Greenville, South Carolina. Mike Lennon, Mark Nyblom, the builder, and the people who attended the dedication.
Two weeks ago, I was privileged to join Mark Nyblom, president of Rosewood Communities, for the dedication of its first home for hope. It was a great experience.
Said Mark, "I knew from the beginning this was something we wanted to do. When I heard that these are loans that are paid back 98% of the time with interest, I was confident our team and our trade partner family would catch the vision and give all they could."
When I talked with Mark and his brother, Tomas, several months ago they were confident of netting between $60K and $70K for the Homes for Hope mission. The final tally: Rosewood Communities' home for hope will generated over $90,000! Through the work of HOPE International, this incredible gift will help fund small business loans (microloans) for aspiring entrepreneurs in 14 of the poorest countries in the developing world, such as Haiti, Afghanistan, Romania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mark said that when he did the books to determine the contributions of all of his subcontractors suppliers and consultants, he was amazed at the generosity; "These guys really got the message; they understood that we were doing God's work to help the poor help themselves."
One of his trade partners, Robert Childers for Victory Air & Heating, spoke powerfully at the dedication event. He said, "This is a privilege; an honor. I know this is something we are doing because it's the right thing to do and I really appreciate the opportunity to be part of it all."
This is an experience being repeated across the country… men and women doing what they do best – building homes and communities and, in this case, building so others can realize their dreams as well.
To find out more about Rosewood Communities go to: www.rosewoodcommunities.com.
If you would like to support a home for hope and find out how you can be involved, please contact us at info@homes4hope.org or call Executive Director, Mike Lennon, at 714-812-9390.

Focusing on learning all the steps needed to build a successful business can be paralyzing. How can we give ourselves peace of mind and move toward our goals methodically? What were the big "a-ha" moments that led to our guest discovering and following his path to success? How do we achieve clarity? On this episode, Brad Gilboe, a real estate agent in Burbank, CA, shares how he overcame his lack of confidence early on in his real estate journey and talks about the systems he used to solve the problems of his business.
One of the main benefits Brad got out of BOLD was removing the limiting belief that he needed to be salesy. He learned that he just needs to help people, and offer the level of service he didn't get when he bought his own house.
Brad always felt like the biggest issue he had in his business was a lack of clarity and not knowing which step to take next. He ultimately realized that tracking his numbers was all he needed to do to maintain focus and a clear path.
We don't always need to know the next 50 steps in our business to know how to succeed. If the tools and models exist, all we need to do is focus on the next step. The system and the work we put into it will do the rest for us.
Many business owners spend a lot of time worrying and overthinking about what to do next, where to get the next deal, and how to make enough money to keep going. When you have the right tools and models at your disposal, this gives you peace of mind because you know that everything is handled as long as you follow the system. By having a repeatable and duplicatable process, you can scale up with predictable results.


A study of a devastating Colorado wildfire says advance work to create fire breaks had little impact on the behavior of the blaze but did provide safe transpiration routes.
The 2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire west of Boulder was the most destructive in Colorado history, destroying 168 homes and causing $217 million in insurance losses.
A research team studied the fire and released a draft report Friday. Democratic Sen. Mark Udall requested the review.
Trees had been thinned on 10 percent of the 9-square-mile burn area before the fire, much of that along roads, in hopes of creating breaks to stop or slow a wildfire.
The research team leader, Russell Graham of the Rocky Mountain Research Station, says thinning was ineffective because it left too much flammable material on the ground.

La rue Clemenceau est une rue commerciale et résidentielle de Beyrouth, la capitale du Liban. Elle a reçu son nom en hommage à Georges Clemenceau président du Conseil français en 1917. Le quartier alentour était auparavant l'un des plus mélangés de la ville.

Description
La rue s'étend d'est en ouest, démarrant avenue Fakhreddine, coupant plusieurs rues, dont la rue Georges Cyr, la rue May Ziadeh, la rue du Mexique, la rue Justinien, la rue Nicolas Rebeiz et la rue John Kennedy où elle tourne dans la rue Bliss. La rue Clemenceau est à distance pédestre de la rue Hamra, de l'université Haigazian et de l'université américaine de Beyrouth qui est sise rue Bliss.

La rue Clemenceau est connue pour ses établissements médicaux, comme le centre médical de l'université américaine de Beyrouth (American University of Beirut Medical Center AUBMC), ou le centre médical Clemenceau, affilié au Johns Hopkins Medicine International. L'École supérieure des affaires se trouve rue Clemenceau, ainsi que la Section Saint-Élie du Collège de la Sagesse, l'une des meilleures écoles catholiques du Liban. Le Centre Gefinor est un complexe d'affaires de 55 000 m, conçu à la fin des années 1960 par l'architecte Walid Jabri, tandis que le centre commercial du rez-de-chaussée et de la mezzanine l'est par l'architecte autrichien Victor Gruen.

Herbicide safeners are chemical compounds used in combination with herbicides to make them "safer" – that is, to reduce the effect of the herbicide on crop plants, and to improve selectivity between crop plants vs. weed species being targeted by the herbicide.  Herbicide safeners can be used to pretreat crop seeds prior to planting, or they can be sprayed on plants as a mixture with the herbicide.

Satan Burger by Carlton Mellick III
Review: Satan Burger by Carlton Mellick III (Eraserhead Press, 2001)
"The main thing that keeps the gun away from your head is thirteen hundred bottles of bourbon, eight hundred bottles of vodka, three hundred bottles of gin, two thousand bottles of rum, six cups of everclear, and twenty-two bottles of southern comfort during the course of a lifetime; but any more than that and you'll be considered an alcoholic. Richard Stein was considered an alcoholic."
Not that this has anything to do with anything. Richard Stein is dead. The above quote comes from his life diary, the only form of history left since the walm. You see, sometimes I'll just dive into a book with no idea of the content, entranced by sublime cover art or, as in this case, snickering at a title. Sometimes the reaction is boredom and swift rejection. Sometimes there's a pleasant surprise. Sometimes, just sometimes, it opens up a family-size can of WTF and smears it all over my brain. Satan Burger falls firmly into the latter category.
The scene is Rippington, New Canada. The world is a boring place, boring because it is full of new and amazing wonders, enough to make human life so mundane as to be near worthless. The Earth is a sentient being (Satan's fault) and we are its toys. Now it's grown up and bored, needing new playthings. These are delivered by a portal known as the walm, situated in Rippington, through which all manner of new creations from the lust-ridden blue women to terrifying scorpion flies materialise to wreak havoc. Humanity is in trouble, from malaise as much as physical danger. To make matters worse, God is lazy. He's announced that heaven is closed to new business and departed souls will either go downstairs or, if not sufficiently impure, get sucked into the walm to provide the sillygo energy it thrives on, leaving their former bodies as soulless husks.
"God finds being called a fuck-o or a fuck-face an amusing performance: after all, these are very fun words to say when you're angry. They launch off your tongue like fists."
Satan, for his part, has decided to open up a burger franchise – the titular Satan Burger. This isn't the typical biblical Satan; this one is bestowed with the power to grant life to everything he touches and also happens to be a flaming homosexual. His miraculous touch granted sentience not only to the Earth itself but to everything else in his vicinity. When we first set foot in Satan Burger it is staffed by shuffling cigarette machines and toasters. Satan has no control over his power you see, meaning that a sly fondle of a new colleague's junk can have unintended consequences. It's a trait which runs in the family, his brother Death's touch having the opposite effect. Death is on hiatus as well though. The soulless, shambling corpses are massing rapidly.
"Satan is drinking a beer from a living bottle – the bottle's beer is its blood, so Satan is bleeding it to death – but the bottle can't complain. Satan is its master, after all."
The protagonists of this tale – narrator Leaf and his friends Nan, Christian, Mort, Gin and Vodka (seriously) – are disaffected punks, passing their time in Rippington with alcohol and the occasional electro-noise music show. Leaf is either blessed or afflicted with God's Eyes, the ability to leave his body and wander afar, checking out what his friends are doing and providing a handy narrative link. Despite this, he and his crew are crushed by ennui, their lives losing all significance in the shadow of the walm. Pretty soon they've been hustled into working at Satan Burger but by then they have more pressing problems, namely the impending end of the world.
"BUTT ROCK = PUNK"
Satan Burger is odd. You may have guessed that. The atmosphere reminds me overwhelmingly of the classic punk sci-fi movie Repo Man but with even more weirdness added. It has nowhere to go, no purpose, so it revels in becoming as messed up as possible. It's not all insanity though, there are attacks on the emerging hipster culture, celebrations of individuality and a stark refusal to dress the real world up as any more than it really is. Was it inspiring? No, that's the wrong word, we need a new one. A word which encapsulates the feeling when an artwork makes you simultaneously want to triumphantly shake a fist in the air, celebrate life in any way possible, sit back and laugh sarcastically at the clamouring masses out the window and annihilate yourself with alcohol, bullets and punk rock.
This book has its detractors. It's juvenile, they say. It's weird for weirdness sake. It doesn't mean anything. It's confused. You know what? They're all correct. They just don't realise that it's a good thing. And they're all wrong, because it's a remarkably mature, polished and focused work at the same time. They're just jealous. They're jealous because they're bored and because Mellick figured this out before them:
"There's always something to do. You just got to figure out what that something is."

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Paul Ryan is a budget cutting machine. His ambitious new proposal tackles Medicaid, Medicare, long-term debt and short-term spending.
Most of the eye-popping $6 trillion in savings over the next decade come from getting a handle on those long-term issues.
But there would also be upfront pain for Americans. Ryan's plan would slash a small part of the budget -- non-security discretionary spending -- to pre-2008 levels.
Specifically, the House Budget Committee chairman would cut $79 billion in "non-security" funds in 2012 and more than $1 trillion over 10 years.
High-speed rail funding would get the axe, farm subsidies would be reduced and the Environmental Protection Agency budget would take a hit. Those are just a few examples.
The sheer size of the cuts means a virtual wrecking ball of spending reductions will cut across many government agencies. That much we know. Which programs are on the chopping block? That's far less clear.
And really, that's not the point. Budget resolutions like the one Ryan unveiled Tuesday set top-line spending numbers, and it will be the work of the House Appropriations Committee to fill in the details.
"Budget resolutions are typically political documents, rather than policy-making proposals," said Craig Jennings, the director of federal fiscal policy at OMB Watch, a group that monitors federal spending.
Ryan's plan doesn't call for an across-the-board cut to all agency budgets. Instead he offers some hints about what programs he, and other Republicans, would like to cut.
Ryan employs a shotgun approach, picking and choosing budget cut ideas from the slew of proposals that have been floated in recent months.
First up: H.R. 1. Ryan says his budget builds on the cuts passed by the House earlier this year. He calls it "the largest spending reduction in non-defense discretionary spending in the history of the republic."
That bill failed in the Senate, and the overtly political nature of some of the $60 billion in cuts from current levels meant President Obama would never consider signing it.
Ryan also borrows ideas from Obama's fiscal commission, such as reducing the federal auto fleet by 20% and selling excess federal real estate and other property.
The budget also takes a page from a Government Accountability Office report released earlier this year that identified waste and inefficiencies in the government.
Ryan doesn't say how much money he thinks can be cut in this area, but he specifically calls out the Highway Trust Fund as a source of savings.
Also on the table are some of the ideas that have resulted from YouCut, a program used by Republicans to solicit Internet votes on what programs they should cut. Again, it's unclear how much Ryan thinks he can save, but he does mention the Government Printing Office as a target.
One area where Ryan does get specific is the federal workforce.
Lamenting growth in the number of government jobs, Ryan calls for a 10% reduction in federal employees through attrition. That means the government would hire fewer workers to replace retirees leaving their jobs.
In addition, he would freeze salaries and reform their benefits packages. In total, changes to the federal workforce would save taxpayers around $375 billion over ten years.
In another nod to political goals, Ryan proposes a rollback of the Wall Street and health care reform laws. Presumably, the agencies tasked with implementing the legislation would be targeted for budget cuts.
For Ryan, his sweep of the non-security discretionary budget is long overdue.
"With this budget, Congress finally incorporates many common-sense proposals for reducing waste that went unheralded for too long," the report says.
But really, just like Obama's budget proposal, this one is dead-on-arrival, even before the Appropriations Committee starts to fill in the gaps. After all, Democrats still control the Senate and White House.
"A lot of congressman, and the president, make political statements with these documents rather than figuring out the needs of the country and how to best address them," Jennings said.

The sport is modernized with funky graphics and excellent sound effects. You're either getting to enjoy playing this or tear away your hair in frustration.
As Google is making huge advancements in machine learning, the corporate is letting users test its capability through simple games. Google released Quick Draw, an AI experiment, but a sort of game that predicts drawings. It asks the user to draw something on the page, and Google's neural network tries to spot the doodling. While drawing, Google keeps guessing the doodle, and it's fun to observe.
Play Quick Draw
Google Assistant has plenty of exciting Google games and believes me, and it's actually pretty fun to play with a voice-based assistant. There are some interactive games, and a few are voice-only games that may be performed on Google Home. Here are a couple of games which I really like the foremost.
This is an interactive game where Google Assistant asks questions supported an images. The items are often really engaging, and it'll take a while before you come up with a solution. To playing this game, summon Google Assistant and tell, "let me asked picture puzzle." you'll be into the game instantly. Have fun!
Sherlock Mysteries may be a voice-based game that may even be played on Google Home. If you wish to solve mysteries or are a lover of Sherlock Holmes generally, you're getting to love this game. Just ask the assistant to allow you to ask Sherlock Mysteries, and you'll be allotted a case to affect. The voice assistant basically narrates the story and what went on and provided you a while to answer the question. This game is basically fascinating and that I think you're getting to like it.
Are You Feeling Lucky may be a voice-based game that asks general trivia questions starting from science to public knowledge? Basically, it's a quiz that may be a lot more fun due to the sound effects within the background, which makes the experience quite enjoyable. Also, up to five people can join the quiz making it a multiplayer game. Beat all, if you've got time to kill, just tell your Google Assistant, "Are you feeling lucky" and therefore, the quiz will start directly. You'll play this game on Google Home also.

Google creates doodles a day for its homepage, and sometimes the doodles aren't just plain artwork but interactive games. The games are delightful with all the animations and sounds. So I even have tried to list out a couple of my favorites Google doodle games. These doodle based Google games are not any longer on the homepage, but you'll, of course, play from the archives.
In 2016 Google published a Halloween doodle, and it had been a great interactive game. Basically, there's a cat from the Magic Cat Academy who is trying to save lots of her friends from the mischievous spirits. You only need to start the sport and draw the symbols on the screen to discard the ghosts. As you plow ahead, the game gets tougher, with many zombies coming from all the sides.

KEY CONCLUSIONS
Access to technologies is a key factor for competitiveness
Countries compete for technological leadership. Technologies have become the main geopolitical weapon. States do not threat each other with nuclear bombs anymore, they say: "We will disconnect you from technologies," Today this is like to take off a drop bottle from a sick person; we all depend on these technologies, and that is why they gain so much importance — Herman Gref, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Executive Board, Sberbank.
According to a survey among global companies, over 70% of respondents believe that artificial intelligence as a particular technology will have even more large-scale consequences than Internet — Bob Moritz, Global Chairman, PwC .
IT is a technology that makes it possible for business to work; it is a core technology — Guo Ping, Deputy Chairman of the Board, Rotating Chief Executive Officer, Huawei .
New technological setup enhances the role of human capital
We are in need of new young managers. The state should act in the way that shows that they are really needed. <…> Leadership cannot be learnt from textbooks. You can only be infected with leadership; it is a kind of fervor. It is transmitted from one person to another, there is no other way. <…> Many people start thinking that now everything is becoming automated, artificial intelligence is being introduced, and soon people will not be needed. I strongly disagree; in my opinion, it is nonsense. People's decisions, leadership are valued; people will always be the most important thing. <…> Almost each manager says: 'Give me a dozen, at least, a dozen, or even two dozen smart leaders, and I will find solution to any unsolvable problem — Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office.
Digitalization significantly enhanced efficiency of business and public administration
Urban intellectual transport system that is based on artificial intelligence, big data, information flows. A really expensive thing: billions have been spent on its development and functioning, but it provides 15% improvement of city traffic. Imagine that if the same task would be solved by expanding physical infrastructure, for example, by constructing roads and junctions, it would require around 300 billion roubles and digging up the whole city. Intellectual transport system implies largest investments and unprecedented efficiency — Sergey Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow.
Fast technological development creates instability risks
In total, there are approximately 3.4 billion jobs for 7.8 billion people. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, half of them, or around 1.6 billion, might be automated or rightsized by 2030 — Herman Gref, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Executive Board, Sberbank.
Technologies created a huge uncertainty. This uncertainty bewilders people; they ask themselves: what the company of the future will look like? Will this technology ruin my business before I am able to evolve? Will my competitors outpace me; will I fall into oblivion as a company? For countries: how can I attract investments to become this country or this city of the future? What if I will not survive this competition in the future? And the same at the level of individual person. My future employment is uncertain. My job might be gone, and I might be replaced with some technological solution — Bob Moritz, Global Chairman, PwC .
Inequal access to technologies increases the gap between leaders and those who hang behind
New economy has the undisputed champion – United States, but the second leader who is catching up is China. The two countries account for around 95% of world's digital capitalization. The situation is the same on non-public companies' market — Herman Gref, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Executive Board, Sberbank.
We live in an open world, and a degrading city, first of all, loses people, investment, intelligence, its future. Catching up becomes extremely difficult. Degradation of cities is followed by degradation of states — Sergey Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow.
Use of public possibilities for development of digital technologies
Public online services have become a predominant trend in public administration. Over the last two years, the share of public online services worldwide grew from 18 to 47 per cent. We intentionally chose this period, because before the dynamics was very slow. It took us ten years to reach 18 per cent, and then over the course of two years we more than doubled the amount of online services — Herman Gref, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Executive Board, Sberbank.
If we have a 100% electronic record, we have exactly 150,000 spots that can be given for these mothers. Today, not 280,000, but rather 450,000 children go to kindergartens. Among them only 50,000 have been physically built in addition — Sergey Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow.
Expansion of investments in R&D
The next generation will live in intellectual society that will have three important features: everything will be connected to the Internet; everything will have sensors, and everything will be a smart device. <…> To achieve that, we need to massively invest in R&D, as well as design and experimental work. For example, last year Huawei's investment reached 15 billion dollars. We believe that each year we need to invest 10% of our revenue into R&D — Guo Ping, Deputy Chairman of the Board, Rotating Chief Executive Officer, Huawei .
Many people are involved in data science and academic medical research. We have largest number of medical patents. We are on the second place with AI patents. We invest a great share of proceedings into R&D — Frans van Houten, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee, Royal Philips .
Development of business culture
It takes time for willingness for team work to emerge; that is the culture. Entrepreneurship and business are always based on competition, it is inevitable, and everything begins with an attempt to do things by yourself. But at the next stage there comes an understanding that together we can do more, work faster and more efficiently. This is time, culture and leadership, because leadership is also about setting an example of cooperation — Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office.
We need to nourish the culture, the culture of innovation, the culture of entrepreneurship, the culture where people would defend their point of view — Frans van Houten, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee, Royal Philips .
Corporation is responsible for creating new jobs. A global company must have a balanced team all over the world — Frans van Houten, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee, Royal Philips .
Support for domestic producer
We need to support domestic producers, but not to cross the line. To avoid the situation, when people buy from them only because they are domestic. As soon as we lose competition, the quality will drop, and we will be defeated — Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office.

Be imitators of God as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and he carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
He [Jesus] is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

Where occident and orient mix and blend: Hong Kong photo gallery | HELLO!
It's Hong Kong's mixture of tradition and modernity, the way in which the past, the present and the future live interwoven with each other, which makes this cosmopolitan Asian city so amazing. If you can't visit for yourself, our photo gallery will put you in the picture.
October 07, 2011 - 15:26 BST hellomagazine.com It's Hong Kong's mixture of tradition and modernity, the way in which the past, the present and the future live interwoven with each other, which makes this cosmopolitan Asian city so amazing. If you can't visit for yourself, our photo gallery will put you in the picture.
There are many great views of the cosmopolis of Hong Kong: looking down on it as it spreads out before you as you stand at the top of Victoria Peak, peering over the edge as you sip a cocktail on one of the ultra-modern high-rise terraces, or watching from a boat at sunset as the endless, state-of-the-art towers rise to touch the sky and plunge, reflected in the waters of Victoria Harbour. These dizzying skyscrapers are the best-known image of Hong Kong and the city's Central District, symbol of its status as a world financial centre. They stand in stark contrast to the traditional food stalls, the street markets, the temples with their statues of Buddha and the ever present principles of feng shui. These are the strands of the net that is woven through this city, which, over a decade ago gave up its status as a British colony to join China. Whether it's the west caught in a web of the east, or the oriental web that is pulled by its occidental catch, depends on how you look at it. Either way, the two are inseparable.

Historical Significance Of Saucier Elementary School Essay
2716 Words Oct 16th, 2016 11 Pages
Saucier Elementary is a K-6 school with a rich history. The school first opened its doors in 1905 as Saucier High School where both male and female students could earn an education. At that time, the tuition based school included dormitory housing, supervised by the principal and his wife. The school became part of the Harrison County School District in 1957. In the late 1960?s the school reorganized to serve as a first through eighth grade facility.
Although Saucier Elementary has seen many changes since its inception, the school still reflects the heritage, history, and values of the community that it serves. Generations of many families have been educated within the hallowed halls of Saucier Elementary, which gives the school a family like ambiance. One thing that has remained a constant throughout the years is the mission to provide all students with every opportunity to reach their fullest potential.
