Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is honoured to present World Discovered Under Other Skies, a solo exhibition by Manuel Mathieu. This is the first time Mathieu's work is being presented in Winnipeg. The show is curated by Amin Alsaden. World Discovered Under Other Skies is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, where the exhibition was first displayed from September 26, 2020 to January 3, 2021.
Over the last decade, the Haitian-Canadian Mathieu has been consistently producing and developing an artistic practice that has flowed liberally between works on paper, paintings with sculptural tactility, and ceramic tile works. A greater extent of this expanding and diversified oeuvre makes its way into this curated exhibition and a version of the Power Plant iteration will be presented in the Plug In galleries. Although eschewing any discernible chronology, the exhibition is a great opportunity for audiences to get an intimate sense of the breadth of where Mathieu's montage of curiosities and critical thought has taken him over the years. It is a welcoming glimpse into his evolution as a painter, the subject matters he keeps revisiting, and the many ways he manifests them in material form.
In an interview with Power Plant director, Gaëtane Verna, Mathieu describes encountering his varying works assembled in the single location of this exhibition 'as walking into my soul'. This illustrates an internal dynamic that is very much personal and felt; one that indexes his own space of imagination, his innate appetite for experimentation, the various states of mind during those moments of production as well as ruminations on topics that held even more significance while at work in the studio. The other side of this dynamic is one that speaks to home. The home within the self that is also the result of an outward ever-complex home. For Mathieu, this place outside of the self is Haiti; its knotty histories and their scarred reverberations in the present. The artist uses his work to respond and meditate on Haiti's fraught political history and in doing so, situates his personal entanglement in it while broadening the conversation to allow for global collective consciousness. Mathieu often avoids overt symbolism or a one to one depiction while traversing some of these heavy and complex topics. Instead, through the poetry of layers and layers of mark-making, gestural brushwork, and closely considered work titles, he offers us an entryway in.
In his curatorial essay, Alsaden writes: "Mathieu reminds us that commemorating the tragedies of the past does not fall solely on the shoulders of a nation's local or diasporic communities, but it is part of our collective responsibility […] underlining common links and struggles that unite us despite national borders, he invites us to enter a world discovered under other skies."
Manuel Mathieu (b. 1986 in Port-au-Prince, lives and works in Montreal). He received his BFA from Université du Québec à Montréal and his MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London. Mathieu was an artist in residence at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart (2019-20), and the Pamela Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida residency program, Sonoma CA (2019). Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (2020); HDM Gallery, Beijing (2019); The Armory Show, New York (2018); Tiwani Contemporary, London (2017); and Institute of Contemporary Art, London (2015). He has participated in numerous group exhibitions held in Canada, the United States, and Europe, including Fondation Phi, Montreal (2020); Pérez Art Museum Miami (2019); Frieze London (2018); Art Basel (2017); and Grand Palais, Paris (2014). Mathieu was one of the artists recognized by the 2020 Sobey Art Award.
Amin Alsaden is a curator, educator, and scholar of art and architecture, whose work focuses on transnational solidarities and exchanges across cultural boundaries. With a commitment to advancing social justice through the arts, Alsaden's curatorial practice contributes to the dissemination of more diverse, inclusive, and global narratives, by decentering and expanding existing canons, and challenging hegemonic knowledge and power structures. He is particularly interested in how artists and architects interrogate collective agency in the public realm and level institutional critique, while envisioning novel visual and spatial responses to the experiences of alienation and belonging. Alsaden's research explores the history and theory of modern and contemporary art and architecture globally, with specific expertise in the Arab and Muslim worlds. Having taught at several institutions at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, Alsaden regularly serves as an invited lecturer and critic at art, curatorial, and design programs. He teaches at several institutions, and has published and lectured widely. More information and samples of his work can be found here.

Living Room- A place to be!
We are stories in the making and furniture is the backdrop in every dramatic scene. No matter how many turns our life takes, furniture stands strong on the ground. With every passing moment, it fades away in the background but never forgets to offer you with immense comfort. These strong characters stand still in time while we sleep, jump, roll, spill, break, and do what not. Living room is one such place that lives to watch all the drama while observing deep silence. This one place serves as an epicentre to numerous activities and gets moulded with addition or subtraction of furniture pieces. Grace up this space with furniture pieces that reflect true identity of you or your entire family. No matter how big or small the space is, always fill it up with living room furniture that is soothing to your senses. At Tezerac, you can dive into a pool of 1000+ pieces and pick the one you like the most. Breathe! Yes, we have more than 1000+ unique choices to go through that are listed in an easy-to-grasp format. Religiously following our motto 'Furniture in a box', we house pieces that are like dreams given solid forms. Every piece on the list is designed and conceptualised by international designers who have vast experience in moulding material and giving it a second life.
Sofa or Table- Everything Fabulous!
Looking for something comfortable or something grand? Or just couldn't hold yourself from checking out our intimating collection? No matter why you visited Tezerac, you will find something that might fit right into your must-have list. Our collection will not only give you new ideas for revamping your space but also make you rethink about that old furniture. Check out our living room furniture collection that includes some of the most interesting pieces. Our ever-doubling range includes living room sofas as curvaceous as river Nile and coffee tables as beautiful as moon shining after rain. Wrapped in fabric or just a polished structure, our living room sofas will entice you in more than one level. We offer you with a choice to fill up your cosy space with the whole set or buying individual pieces as per your liking. Replace your old coffee table with an upholstered coffee table for an elegant touch or concrete coffee table for a masculine touch. Wicked use of material like mother of pearl, bone, resin, glass, marble and more make most of the pieces exclusive. We cover A-Z type of furniture that falls under living room category. If you wish to stow away those throws or organise your space in a tidy manner, then you need to get hold of our TV Units with ample amount of storage as well as functionality. Organise your photo frames, trinkets hoarded during memorable journeys, and whatever you feel mismanaged with the use of floating wall shelves from our vast collection.
From the initial process of designing to the end process of giving a piece final touch, we ensure that quality is maintained. While designing living room furniture, we ensure that every detail is taken into due consideration. Before manufacturing process starts, our artisans determine the quality of wood, metal, or fabric to be used. Due consideration is given to use of quality material sourced from renowned partners. For every wooden piece, we source well-seasoned wood to avoid cracking or scrapping during the passage of time. The fabric is checked for thread count, shrinkage, and colour fasting before it is used over an upholstered piece of living room furniture. After the manufacturing process completes, every piece undergoes a stringent quality check. At Tezerac, we prefer quality over quantity as our main aim is to deliver pieces that will last longer.
After you set fire to your old furniture and before placing an order on our portal, give a nice look to your living room. Measure every nook and corner using a measuring tape and jot down these details in a small diary or a phone or wherever you wish. Chart out the floor area and divide the same into dedicated fractions. Focus on dedicating a major part of the space to the breathable area. Start with an uber-chic, comfortable sofa or a sofa set that will give a character to your space. Provide your flat-screen TV with a place of glory with the use of a capacious TV unit or a sleek console. If you have centrally located window in the living room, place a bench with storage against it to create a cosy sitting area. Fill up the corners between sofas with a use of stackable nested tables or elegant end tables. Give the centre of the room a unique touch by placing an aesthetically designed coffee table.

Q: SQL counting row number for every same column result First of all, sorry for my bad English. I have a problem creating a SQL statement.
I created a row count column:
SELECT
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY KNR DESC) AS Row,
    KNR, text, DATUM
FROM
    KURSTAGE
WHERE
    (KNR like '%E3%') AND (TEXT = 'TEXT') AND ( datum >= '02.12.2014') AND (KNR like 'O%')

The result looks  like this:
Row Result1 Result2 etc.
------------------------------------------------
1   OE3WU9B TestTest    2015-06-28 00:00:00.000
2   OE3WU9B TestTest    2015-06-28 00:00:00.000
3   OE3WU9B TestTest    2015-06-07 00:00:00.000
4   OE3WU9B TestTest    2015-05-30 00:00:00.000
5   OE3WU9B TestTest    2015-05-10 00:00:00.000

10  OE3ST9B TestTest    2015-04-19 00:00:00.000

Is it possible to create a ROW count which starts counting from 1 at the start of the same result from Result1?
For example:
Row Result1 Result2 etc.
1   OE3WU9B TestTest    2015-06-28 00:00:00.000
2   OE3WU9B TestTest    2015-06-28 00:00:00.000

The Slice the Price Card | Fundraising Made Easy - I am buying a card!
I am buying a card!
Thank you so much for helping someone accomplish their goals! Below you fill find the answers to some common questions when purchasing a card.
+How many free pizzas can I get with the Slice the Price card?
You can buy as many pizzas as you would like and receive the same amount for FREE! For example, if you are having a party, you could buy 8 pizzas and receive the 8 pizzas for free!
+How long is the Slice the Price card good for?
The cards expire on either June 30th or December 31st. If your fundraiser started between July 1st and December 31st then your cards would expire June 30th of the following year. If your fundraiser started between January 1st and June 30th then your cards would expire December 31st of that year. Check the second page of the order from the seller has. It should have the expiration date of the card on it.
+Where can I use the Slice the Price card?
Check here to see what areas are currently participating!
+How many times can I use the Slice the Price card?
You can use the card as many times as you like until it expires!
+Can the Slice the Price card be combined with any other specials?
No. The Slice the Price Card only works on menu price pizzas.
Example: If Domino's is doing a carry out special you would have to choose between using the Slice the Price card at menu price or buying the pizza's without the Slice the Price card at the carry out special price. The Slice the Price card cannot be combined with any other promotions or special pricing.
+When will I receive my card?
That is a hard question to answer. The fundraiser is run on an order form basis so there is no chance of loss for the group running the fundraiser. This means that you will be writing your name on the sellers or form and paying them 10 dollars. The fundraisers typically run for two weeks, and if you look at the bottom of the second page of the ordering packet you will see the date that the fundraiser is to be turned in to the organization. Approximately 2-3 weeks after the end of the fundraiser the cards should be distrubted back to the person that you purchased them off of and you should get them shortly after that.
There are a couple of factors that can affect the turnaround time of the fundraiser.
The sponsors facilitating the fundraisers are typically volunteers with children and jobs. Thankfully they are generous enough to volunteer their time, but sometimes life can get in the way of a speedy turn around.
All order forms need to be turned in to the sponsor, a check needs to be released, and the mail needs to arrive to our office with order forms and the payment. It is hard to predict how long any of these variables will take. Once we receive the order in our office we strive to get it turned around and shipped back out in the same day via UPS.
Lastly, the person who you purchased the card from might be able to tell you where the organization is at with the fundriaser and an estimate of when the cards will be returned to you. Please feel free to call us if any of this is unclear, 866-252-6103, and thanks for helping your community!
Thanks for the email! We will be closed July 3rd through July 9th. We will get back to you as soon as we return to the office on July 10th. Have a great holiday!

2014 Packers Free Agency
Packers Receiver James Jones Will Test Free Agency in 2014
The Packers' second-leading receiver in 2013 is ready to see what other NFL teams think of him this off-season.
By Evan "Tex" Western@TexWestern Jan 6, 2014, 1:40pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Packers Receiver James Jones Will Test Free Agency in 2014
Tom Lynn
The Packers can be assured that at least one starter who is approaching free agency will be testing the market for his services. Wideout James Jones, who set a career-high in receiving yards this season, will wait until March to see what teams think of him, according to the Journal-Sentinel's Tyler Dunne.
Jones apparently does not have a firm idea of what type of contract he is looking for, as this comment to Dunne indicates:
Jones: "I'm not one of those guys who goes home and says I'm worth 30, 40 million. We'll see what happens when the market comes." #packers
— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) January 6, 2014
The last time Jones hit the open market was after the Packers' Super Bowl run in 2010. Jones found the market very soft for a receiver who had not exceeded 50 receptions, 700 yards, or 5 touchdowns in a season and was perceived to have an issue with drops. Instead of signing elsewhere, Jones waited until just before training camp to sign a three-year deal with Green Bay in 2011, and he became a steady (albeit not flashy) starter since then.
Jones' single-season highs can be found below, and his highs in all categories have come under that three-year contract. In fact, Jones led the league in receiving touchdowns in 2012.
Category Career High Season
Starts 15 2012
Receptions 64 2012
Yards 817 2013
Yards per reception 16.7 2011
Touchdowns 14 2012
Jones made $3.25 million in 2013 in the last year of that three-year contract. In the coming months, we'll see what interest a solid #2 receiver draws around the league.
Also worth noting in Dunne's first tweet is that starting center Evan Dietrich-Smith is also poised to test the free agent market after re-signing with the Packers as a restricted free agent in 2013.

US-Turkey agree 'roadmap' on Kurd-held Manbij in Syria
The US has a military presence in Manbij and has provided military support to the YPG in the fight against the Islamic State (IS) extremist group, causing anger among Turkish officials (AFP Photo/Delil SOULEIMAN)
Ankara (AFP) - Turkish and US officials on Friday agreed on a "roadmap" for further cooperation to ensure the security of a Kurdish-held city which became a major headache between the NATO allies, according to a joint statement.
The northern city of Manbij is held by the People's Protection Units (YPG) Kurdish militia, a group which Ankara says is the "terrorist" offshoot of Kurdish hardliners in Turkey.
The US has a military presence in Manbij and has provided military support to the YPG in the fight against the Islamic State (IS) extremist group, causing anger among Turkish officials.
After Turkey launched a cross-border operation against the YPG in the western enclave of Afrin in January, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to take the offensive to Manbij. The prospect raised fears of a confrontation between Turkish and American troops.
The offensive also caused tension between the allies because Washington urged Turkey to show "restraint" and said it could harm the fight against IS extremists.
US officials were in Ankara on Friday as part of a working group on Syria. After talks with Turkish counterparts, the statement was issued by the Turkish foreign ministry and the US embassy in Ankara.
"The two sides outlined the main contours of a roadmap for their further cooperation in ensuring security and stability in Manbij," the statement said, giving no further detail.
The working group was established to try to resolve the Manbij issue and coordinate US-Turkey efforts in Syria after Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and then US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met in February.
Turkish officials were in Washington in March as part of the working group, set up after the threats by Ankara and repeated calls for the YPG to leave the city.
Cavusoglu is due to meet the new US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington on June 4.
According to the joint statement, the two men will "consider the recommendations" of the working group during their meeting.
Ankara says the YPG is linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is blacklisted as a terrorist organisation by Ankara, the US and the European Union.
The PKK has waged an insurgency inside Turkey since 1984.
Erdogan has repeatedly urged the US to halt support for the YPG.
His ruling Justice and Development Party published a manifesto on Thursday calling for "concrete steps" by the US to end its backing of the YPG and provide "concrete support" to Turkey in its fight against the PKK.

Russia says all Azeri captives returned under Karabakh deal
Armenia has returned all Azeri prisoners who were captured during last year's conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, but the process with Armenian prisoners has been held up, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday. The six-week conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh was brought to a halt in November by a Russian-brokered ceasefire agreement under which Azeri and ethnic Armenian forces were expected to exchange all captives. Armenia has said that many of its prisoners of war remain in Azerbaijan, a problem it has raised with the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk group.
Woman who 'took laptop' from Pelosi's office in Capitol riot 'planned to sell it to Russian spies'
A woman identified as having taken part in the storming of the US Capitol is accused of stealing a laptop belonging to top Democrat Nancy Pelosi which she hoped to sell to a Russian spy agency, according to the FBI. There is no indication Riley June Williams, a 22-year-old careworker from Pennsylvania, took a laptop from Ms Pelosi's office. The FBI, which is working off a tip, said in the court record the "matter remains under investigation." The complaint, filed late Sunday in US District Court in Washington, sought the arrest of Williams on grounds including "violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds." Relying on several photos and videos of the chaotic January 6 riot, an FBI agent said Williams was seen near the office of Ms Pelosi, US House Speaker. A witness, identified in the court document only as W1 but who claimed to be "the former romantic partner of Riley June Williams," alleged that Williams planned to send the laptop to a friend in Russia to sell it to the SVR foreign intelligence agency. That sale "fell through for unknown reasons, and Williams still has the computer device or destroyed it," the affidavit says.

1. In this application the Defendant seeks permission to re-open his application for permission to appeal against the judgment of this Court dated 10 December 2014. The application for leave to appeal was dismissed on 26 February 2015. The present application is made under Rule 44.179 of the Rules of the DIFC Courts ("RDC"). This Rule is modelled on CPR Part 52.17 which in turn was based on the reasoning of the English Court of Appeal in Taylor v. Lawrence  EWCA Civ. 90.
2. The jurisdiction does not furnish an avenue for appeal against a decision of the DIFC Courts of Appeal. Indeed RDC 44.178 states in terms that no appeal lies. In short there is a high hurdle to be surmounted to justify the exercise of the jurisdiction which is seldom to be exercised. In In Re Uddin (A Child)  1 WLR 2398 the English Court of Appeal identified the limited scope of the jurisdiction in that it can only be invoked "where it is demonstrated that the integrity of the earlier litigation process, whether at trial or at the first appeal, has been critically undermined".
"5. RDC.44.179 is modelled on the English CPR 52.17 introduced in 2003 after the decision in Taylor v. Lawrence  EWCA Civ 90;  QB 528 that there was an inherent jurisdiction to reopen an appeal in order to avoid real injustice in exceptional circumstances. In In re Uddin (A Child)  EWCA Civ 52;  1 WLR2398 it was said at  that it must generally be demonstrated "that the integrity of the earlier litigation process…has been critically undermined" and "the process itself has been corrupted", and that "it is the corruption of justice that as a matter of policy is most likely to validate an exceptional course; a course which relegates the high importance of finality in litigation to second place".
4. I accept that approach as entirely correct and appropriate. In the result the difficulty with the present application is that the Defendant does not even contend (let alone establish) that the integrity of the process has or may have been critically undermined or corrupted. The thrust of the skeleton argument in support of the application is simply that the judgment refusing permission to appeal is erroneous in various respects. This is purportedly supported by a witness statement from the senior partner of the Defendant's legal representatives to like effect. I have grave doubts about the admissibility of that evidence but I will accept it as constituting supplementary submissions on the Defendant's part. But, again, it is based upon the presumption that the appeal may be reopened simply in order to reargue matters on which it is claimed that the decision was arguably wrong.
5. The application can be dismissed on this basis alone. There are two complaints. First is the complaint that the Defendant has forfeited his valuable shares in circumstances where neither the company nor the majority shareholder has suffered any loss. However, questions of value and loss were not issues at the trial. Indeed at a late stage in the trial the Defendant was refused leave to amend to plead matters relating to the value of the shares. Thus any disparity between the value of the shares and losses occasioned by the breach were not established and could not be relied upon in support of an order for relief against forfeiture (even assuming it is a principle that could be relied on in the DIFC). No suggestion of the process being undermined or corrupted is arguable.
6. It is likewise in regard to the second complaint. It is still submitted that the trial judge was in error in concluding that the forfeiture provision relied upon was unenforceable as a penalty. This is merely to repeat matters which have been considered and rejected both at first instance and on appeal. It cannot be contended that the analysis in paragraph 105 of the original judgment reflects a corruption of the process.
7. For the sake of completeness, two specific errors which are alleged are considered. The reliance on the Constitution as a ground for avoiding exposure to forfeiture provisions as being unenforceable is necessarily a secondary argument given the premise that relief against forfeiture was not applicable to the DIFC. Further, the suggestion that the construction of the DIFC provisions in regard to damages must be undertaken in the light of the Constitution and thus inconsistent with a disproportionate form of relief is "strongly arguable" cannot support a submission that the process has been corrupted. In any event the constitutional argument was not raised at trial or in the Defendant's skeleton for the appeal.
8. The other error is said to be contained in regard to the question of disparity of treatment. The focus of the discussion in the Claimant's argument was the absence of any complaint at the material time. Regardless of whether the Defendant regards the rejection of the argument as wrong, the point provides no support for a complaint of corruption of the process.
9. The application was accordingly refused at an earlier date with costs.


Beloved, I welcome you to our Empowerment Sunday. May you embrace, manifest and experience fresh testimonies in His presence today in Jesus name. The word of the Lord is coming to an individual. The Lord opened my eyes and I saw as a great light entered into your family. The Lord said that light signifies the testimony that you have been waiting for. Selah.
The Lord showed me another family. I saw as you all stood in front of your house and a swarm of bees was approaching. You rushed inside to close the door, but you realised all the windows of your children's room were opened. Though the bees entered, the Lord rendered them powerless. How secured are your children against spiritual attacks? I saw as the spirit of insanity overtook an individual, but the power of God subdued it totally. The Lord raise a concern concerning someone called Adunni. Could it be your pet name or middle name? I do not know. There is a flag raised concerning you.
Lastly, the Lord is talking about a husband today. He showed me as you torment your wife and you will never allow her to seek for help. I saw her so helpless and crying for help in her closet. If this is your family, you may need counselling and prayers. Please do see me after the service.
Today is our Empowerment Sunday. Our focus will be on Harvest of souls for the kingdom. The Harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Are you ready for this Great Commission? I welcome you if today is your first time of worshipping with us. We love and appreciate. Please do sit back to enjoy the service. I prophecy unending miracle into your week and new month in Jesus name.

· What would you call a fire station that never fought a fire? A firefighters club?
· What would you call a hospital that never treated a patient? A country club for doctors?
· What would you call a mechanic who never repaired a vehicle? Probably unemployed.
· What would you call a teacher who never taught anything? A babysitter, and a pretty poor one at that.
· What would you call a congregation whose sole purpose seemed to be dusting the pews and keeping the lights on?
· would you be very happy that your taxes go to that firefighter's club?
· Would you pay your hospital bill at the Country Club for doctors?
· Would you take your car to the unemployed mechanic who never repaired a car?
· Would you pay tuition to go to class with that babysitter?
· Would you want to support a church if all they did was dust the pews and pay the electric bill? Of course not. Believe me, there are churches who hold gatherings on Sunday morning, have potlucks, marry and bury people, but they have no idea what it means to be the church.
Thank God that we are clearly not one of those congregations. I think these generosity videos this year have done a wonderful job of using pictures to describe what it means to be church and how this congregation lives that out. So let me put some words to it.
So what is the church meant to be?
We read from Isaiah this morning, and you may be wondering, "What does that have to do with the purpose of the church?" Well, that particular passage from Isaiah appears again in scripture. Does anyone know where?
At Jesus first recorded sermon.
Listen to the story from Luke chapter 4.
Isn't it interesting, that Jesus used this passage from Isaiah as his very first sermon. That sermon was pretty important because, like a rocket, it set the trajectory for his whole mission and ministry, and in turn laid the foundation for the church..
Is this an upper story or a lower story passage? Listen again "Good news to the poor… release to the captives… recovery of sight to the blind… set the oppressed free." That is an upper story vision isn't it. Our lower story can only dream of good news, release, recovery, or freedom. To see that come to be in our lower story, would require a pretty radical change in our world wouldn't it? It would be turning the world upside down and inside out.
But that is exactly what God's upper story vision is about… a world turned upside-down.
That is why Jesus came… to turn the world inside-out.
· Transformed lives, transform relationships.
· Transformed relationships, transform communities.
· Transformed communities, transform institutions.
· Transformed institutions, transform governments and the world.
Once God's transformation really begins, it doesn't take long before the world is a new place where good news, release, recovery, and freedom are not just part of God's upper story, but part of our lower story. Where God's vision becomes our reality. Where God's kingdom has come and God's will is being done.
That is God's plan for the world.
AND God's plan is that the church is the catalyst for that transformation.
· It is through the church that God is working to transform the world.
· It is through the church that God is bringing good news, release, recovery, and freedom to God's world.
And I want to be part of that. Don't you?
I want to be part of seeing God's kingdom come, God's will being done. Don't you?
I want to be transformed, and see my relationships transformed, and see my community transformed, and institutions and governments, and the whole world. Don't you?
I want to see the new heaven and the new earth, God's new creation become reality, and preferably in my lifetime! Don't you?
That is something that we can all get behind, isn't it? That is something we can all support, isn't it? That is something I would give just about anything to see, wouldn't you?
When we talk about generosity, that is what we are talking about. Participating in God's vision for the world.
Generosity is giving of our time, our love, our energy, our hope, our strength, our lives, and yes- our money in order to be part of God's vision for the world, supporting the work of the coming kingdom of God. Proclaiming good news, release, recovery, and freedom. And we can all get behind that. We all want to give generously to that, don't we? Don't you? At least I hope we do.
My friends, that is why the church is here.
That is why the church is here… to be bearers of God's vision, to change the world by the power of God. To be God's hands and feet in transforming the world.
You see it on the bulletin every week; you see it on the web page every time you visit. You see it in the enews every week. You see it at the top of my emails. Hopefully you have heard me preach it several times… "Where the love of Christ transforms lives." We are here to change the world.
· starting with worship and education that was featured in today's video.
· Rolling on to nurture, loving one another, which was featured in last week's video.
· Culminating in outreach to our local community and missions to the greater world that was featured two weeks ago. Until the kingdom comes and God's will is done.
I hate paying bills. It's no fun paying the electric bill, or the water bill, or medical bills or a car repair bill. There are other things that I would rather do with my money.
The same is true for the church. It is no fun being asked to pay the electric bill, the water bill, the pastor's health insurance, or the snow removal bill. Frankly, if that is the only reason to give to the church, you'd be better off paying your own electric bill, water bill and medical bills.
There may be some people who want to pay the electric bill and insurance, but when I give to the church, I give in order to be part of something bigger than the electric bill and insurance. Robyn and I tithe to the church because we want to be part of something bigger- much bigger.
I suspect you do too.
Sure, I know the truth, and so do you- that those things are a necessary part of the church budget. But this year, we are asking you to back up from those necessary details, and see the big picture.
· Don't just give to the church… give to transform lives.
· Don't just give to the church… Give to make sure that relationships are restored- because that is the beginning of transforming the world.
· Don't just give to the church… Give to make sure that Keri and Mindy are taught about the love of God, because that is a first step in changing the world.
· Give so that Irma, and Wayne, and Evelyn, and Jim are loved and given care —because that is a small step toward seeing God's kingdom reality.
· Give so that the family next door will be able to get food from the food pantry.
· Give so that together we can reach the people of this community who so desperately need to know that God loves them and be taught how to love others--- because that moves us all closer to experiencing the world the way God envisions it for us.
· Don't give to the church… Give so ramps can be built as bridges communicating hope and love across generations and disabilities.
· Give so that Noah, and Bellen, and Sylvana, and Brook, and a thousand other kids can go to camp and enjoy learning about Jesus.
· Give so that someone who is dying, won't die alone without Christ.
· Give so that people will speak loud and clear on our behalf to congress and the president to help them see the way of God's kingdom.
· Don't give to the church… Give so that John Pena in Nigeria is able to teach people to be pastors and lead churches in their own country.
· Give so that 7 year old Ambrosio in the Philippines can know Jesus, so that a James in Haiti who has no legs will be gifted with a PET (personal energy transportation) and will be able to leave his home, and 9 year old Annabella in Rural LeCayes Haiti will have a bed and food tomorrow.
· Give so that Yong in North Korea will have a Bible even though his government forbids it, and so that Doug and Kelly can raise up church leaders in China.
· Don't give to the church… Give so that Haley on the other end of town can learn the words to Jesus loves me next summer in Vacation Bible School.
· Give so that Shelby will have a Wesley foundation to minister to her now that she is out of our daily reach.
· Give so that Ruth will have an audio version of THE STORY so she can feel a part of what we are doing.
· Give so that your neighbor's electricity won't be turned off.
· Don't give to the church… Give so that Mark Stransky can repair the homes of the poorest people in Virginia.
· Give so that our college students will know that their church has not forgotten them.
· Give so that a friend having a bad month can get food from the food bank.
· Give so that Lilajean can worship in her living room on Saturday morning.
· Give so that you can see the smiles on the children's face during the Christmas program.
Do you see what I mean?… there are so many great reasons to give generously that the silly electric and water and insurance bills suddenly fade into the background. Not that they aren't important, because they are necessary in order to do many of these things I have named, but they ought not be our biggest reason to give. Again, keeping the doors open is not enough of a reason for me to give to the church, but I thank God and the good people of this congregation that there are so many great reasons to give generously to the work of God through this church.
Obviously I am not just talking about money here.
· I AM talking about being generous giving our money.
· But I am also talking about being generous giving our material wealth.
· I am also talking about being generous giving our time.
· I am also talking about being generous giving our abilities.
· I am also talking about being generous giving our love.
· I am also talking about being generous giving our prayers.
· I am also talking about being generous with our lives because God has been generous to share his mission with us.
God has a mission… to change the world, and he is looking for a church to help.
In so many ways through the generations and years this church has said, "yes." You have heard some of the fruit of that commitment today. You have images of the ministries that we do in the generosity videos. You can see our commitment to the kingdom in the accomplishments we celebrated at charge conference. In so many ways, this church has stepped up to be part of God's mission… God's plan…God's upper story vision for the world.
God is also looking for people. People who will be generous in all these ways, with their money and material things, their time and abilities, their love and their prayers. God is looking for people who will give their lives… their whole lives generously to the work of the kingdom.
Let me be frank. God is looking for you.
· And you. To live generously enough to see his kingdom come and his will be done through you and because of you, in big ways and small ways.
God has a mission and he is looking for a church… as a congregation we have said yes… now he is looking for people to pour their lives, their love, their, abilities, their time, their energy and yes, their money into his mission.
Will you be one of them? Will you be part of God's kingdom work?

Mr. W. Marvin Smith, of Washington, D.C., for appellant.
Mr. Marion B. Knight, of Blounstown, Fla., for appellee.
The District Court held that the statute imposes no penalty for an arrest with intent to compel the performance of labor or service unless the person arrested renders labor or service for a master following the arrest.
The section makes arrest of a person with intent to place him in a state of peonage a separate and independent offense. It penalizes 'whoever holds, arrests, returns, or causes to be held, arrested, or returned ... any person to a condition of peonage.' The language is inartistic. The appropriate qualifying preposition for the word 'holds' is 'in'. An accurate qualifying phrase for the [320 U.S. 527, 529] verb 'arrests' would be 'to place in or return to' peonage. But the compactness of phrasing and the lack of strict grammatical construction does not obscure the intent of the Act. Years ago this Court indicated that the disjunctive phrasing imports that each of the acts,-holding, arresting, or returning,-may be the subject of indictment and punishment. 6 We think that view is sound apart from any consideration of the legislative history of the enactment. But when viewed in its setting no doubt of the purpose of the statute remains.
The Act of 1867 was passed as the result of agitation in Congress for further legislation because of the use of federal troops to arrest persons who had escaped from a condition of peonage. 7 The first section abolished and prohibited peonage and made certain practices in connection therewith criminal. The second section imposed a duty on all in the military and civil service to aid in the enforcement of the first, and provided that if any officer or other person in the military service should offend against the Act's provisions he should, upon conviction by a court martial, be dishonorably dismissed from the service. 8 It is plain that arrest for the purpose of placing a person in or returning him to a condition of peonage was one of the evils to be suppressed.
We are dealing here with a criminal statute, the penalties of which circumscribe personal freedom. Before we sanction the imposition of such penalties no doubts should exist as to the statutory proscription of the acts in question. Otherwise individuals are punished without having been adequately warned as to those actions which subjected them to liability.
It is doubtful whether an arrest not followed by actual peonage clearly and unmistakably falls within the prohibition of 269 of the Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C.A. 444. The court below, at least, felt that the statute did not cover such a situation. Other judges have expressed similar doubts. United States v. Eberhart, C.C., 127 F. 252; dissenting opinion in Taylor v. United States, 4 Cir., 244 F. 321, 332, 333. And in order to reach the opposite conclusion, this Court labels the statutory language as 'inartistic' and as lacking in 'strict grammatical construction.' It then proceeds to rewrite the statute, in conformity with what it conceives to have been the original intention of Congress, so as to penalize 'whoever ... arrests ... any person for the purpose of placing him in a condition of peonage.' I cannot assent to this judicial revision of a criminal law. Congress alone has power to amend or clarify the criminal sanctions of a statute.

Edible squash flowers have a light delicate taste and are the feature of this easy squash blossom pasta recipe.
Most of you know that I do not have a vegetable garden. So why am I writing about squash blossoms?
I had a few gourds and squash as part of my fall decor last year and when they started to get old I tossed them into my compost pile. Low and behold didn't a couple of them start to grow this year.
I did harvest that one pretty green acorn squash above, but there were also plenty of blossoms, so I thought I'd make a simple pasta dish with them.
Just a little FYI. This is a male blossom with an anther in the center. Their job is to pollinate the female blossoms which produce the fruit.
Here's a female blossom. The interior is a little out of focus but you can see the stigma in the center. Also, you can see the beginning of a squash growing right at the base of the bloom.
Most of the time you see articles where people stuff the blossoms with cheese and fry them.
I had some cherry tomatoes and plenty of fresh basil so I thought they would work well in a pasta.
You can use any kind of pasta you like. The squash blossoms have a very light taste. Different from other edible flowers which often have a perfume-like taste and some are even a little bitter. These are nothing like that.
If you're growing squash like zucchini and already have plenty of fruit, feel free to harvest a bunch of the male blossoms as they are more typically numerous then the female blooms, and have already done their job.
Stuff them. Add them to a salad or make this easy and tasty pasta dish.
Boil the pasta according to the package directions. Do not drain.
Remove the anthers and stigmas from the inside of the blossoms and discard. Lightly rinse with water and roughly chop.
Add squash blossoms and tomatoes and saute for a few more minutes.
Add cooked pasta along with 2/3 cup of the pasta water.
Stir together on low heat for another minute until all ingredients are well combined.
Remove and stir in lemon juice.
Patti this is so interesting and I was aware of the female and male blossoms but didn't realize you could eat them. Great list of ingredients and I think that squash plant was just God's way of saying… It's time to grow a little Startle Garden. Enjoy a Great weekend!
Thanks Carole. They were very mild tasting and it was fun to be able to use them in a yummy pasta dish. Especially because of the way they volunteered in the compost pile. I had to do something with this nice surprise. And, you may be right. TIme to create a Startle Garden.

Box Office: Badla Surpasses Pink Lifetime In Just 2 Weeks, Luka Chuppi Stays Fair On Thursday
The good part about the run of this Sujoy Ghosh directed film so far is that it has stayed very stable since its release.
Back in 2016 when Pink had released, it had collected 65.39 crores in its lifetime. Now Badla, which stars the Pink star cast of Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu, has comfortably managed to go past that number in two weeks flat. The film has collected 67.32 crores already and is set for a lot more before its theatrical run comes to a close.
The good part about the run of this Sujoy Ghosh directed film so far is that it has stayed very stable since its release. Even during the weekdays of the second week, it has stayed consistent over the 2 crore mark which petty much tells the tale. Even on Thursday, it brought in 2.35 crores more and that too when Kesari saw a huge release for itself and ended up bringing in over 20 crores.
The film will take a dip in collections today though if it is back in the game tomorrow and day after then it could well have a stay much beyond the 75 crore mark. Superhit!

Kesari Movie Review: Emotional, Entertaining & Informative!
Luka Chuppi was hit by the arrival of Kesari and collected 0.63 crores. Currently standing at 86.88 crores, this Laxman Utekar directed film is a Superhit though. It would be pretty much aiming at going past the 90 crores eventually. Nonetheless, the film is still a very major success for Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon and has contributed immensely to the Box Office in the month of March which has seen a series of successes.

Forest County Potawatomi, Keepers of the Fire – Old
Home » Tribes » Forest County Potawatomi, Keepers of the Fire – Old
The Potawatomi Tribe is considered one of the Woodland groups of Indians, belonging to the Algonquin linguistic family tree. The name Potawatomi means "people of the place of the fire". Their history is one of endurance, survival, and strong traditional values that still thrive today.
In the early centuries before Europeans, the Potawatomi lived north and east of Lakes Huron, Erie, and Ontario. They were once allied with the Odawa and Ojibwa tribes in a confederation known as the Council of the Three Fires. The Potawatomi land base consisted of lower Michigan, northern Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and eastern Wisconsin.
They prospered through hunting, fishing, and gathering. Before the arrival of the first Europeans in the late 1500s and early 1600s, many Potawatomi had begun to move further inland to the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. It was there that the first French fur traders and Jesuits began to write about these people known as "the people of the place of fire."
The Potawatomi, (Bodwéwadmi) were given the task of keeping this sacred fire among the three, hence the name "Keepers of the Fire."
Through the years the US Government pressured the tribe into a series of 43 treaties, resulting in the loss of 30 million acres of land. The Treaty at Chicago in 1833 stipulated that the Potawatomi be removed west within three years. This forced removal became known as the Potawatomi Trail of Death. The modern Forest County Potawatomi are descendants of families and groups who refused to move and settled in dense forests of Wisconsin, avoiding contact with outsiders. In the late 1800s, through the Indian Homestead Act, Potawatomi families settled on lands in Forest, Oconto, and Marinette Counties. In 1913, the tribe received approximately 12,000 acres of land in Forest County from treaty monies owed them and received federal recognition in 1934.
The communities' successful gaming operations provide a means to support tribal businesses, community projects, and attract new industries to the area while maintaining the integrity of the natural resources. Forest County has a rich logging history, and has a hilly geographical terrain crisscrossed with ATV trails. Recreation opportunities such as camping, hiking, swimming, fishing are plentiful.
The Forest County Potawatomi Community invite you to visit our lands.

Houston police say they have arrested one of the two suspects.
I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called UPDATED: Gay Man Brutally Assaulted in Montrose in Possible Hate Crime and is located at http://www.outsmartmagazine.com/2018/08/gay-man-brutally-assaulted-in-montrose-in-possible-hate-crime/.
UPDATE, Aug. 9: Houston Police Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva said the investigation is ongoing, but there have been no additional arrests.
UPDATE, Aug. 3: Houston Police Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva said Friday afternoon that the case remains under investigation, and there have been no additional arrests.
Silva said investigators still do not believe the incident was a hate crime.
Silva did advise people to avoid walking alone and stay in well-lit areas. She also encouraged anyone anxious to see additional arrests to be patient.
The victim, Christopher Bradford, said later Friday that he has been in contact with the HPD investigator assigned to the case. Bradford said the investigator does not believe suspect Caleb Tout's story about someone having exposed himself to his girlfriend.
Bradford said he hopes to see both Tout's father and girlfriend charged. He said Tout's father participated in the attack, and his girlfriend tried to prevent witnesses from calling 911.
Bradford also said he has learned that Tout was only arrested after a bartender at Avant Garden, on Westheimer, noticed blood on his hands, and notified a police officer. Tout and his girlfriend were extremely intoxicated and went to Avante Garden after the attack.
"There are witnesses who said the dad is the one who was hitting me with the belt buckle," Bradford said. "They're trying to get all the blame on Caleb Tout, because he's young and he doesn't have any record, so that he can get off with probation.
A gay man was brutally assaulted in Montrose early Wednesday, Aug. 1 in what he believes was a hate crime.
Christopher Bradford, 28, said the attack occurred at about 1:50 a.m. near Taft and Westheimer, the site of Houston's Pride crosswalks, while he was walking home from Barcode, a gay club on Fairview.
Bradford said one of the suspects ran up and punched him in the face. When Bradford tried to fight back, another man pushed him to the ground. The suspects began punching and kicking him, and beating him with their belt buckles, and bludgeoning him with a rock.
Bradford had been on the phone with a friend, who overheard the attack and quickly drove to the scene. After the suspects ran off, Bradford's friend took him to a nearby urgent care facility. He was transferred to Memorial Hermann hospital after a CT scan revealed blood around his brain.
Bradford was released from the hospital late Wednesday morning after a follow-up CT scan revealed that the bleeding around his brain had stopped. Doctors used four staples and surgical glue to close wounds above his ear and on his forehead.
Jodi Silva, a spokeswoman for the Houston Police Department, said Wednesday afternoon that police arrested one of the two suspects after witnesses pointed officers in the direction they fled. Caleb John Tout, 19, is charged with assault with bodily injury. The other suspect is believed to be Tout's father.
"The father is still at large, but it's still an ongoing investigation," Silva said.
Silva said police do not believe the attack was a hate crime. Tout's girlfriend told police that she had been resting in a vehicle in the 2700 block of Whitney, when a man approached and exposed himself to her. She told police she went into a bar where Tout and his father were drinking and told them about the incident, at which point they began looking for the man.
"It just appears that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time," Silva said of Bradford, adding that Tout and his girlfriend were "highly intoxicated." Tout's girlfriend did not accompany the suspects as they went looking for the man who allegedly exposed himself, and police have no reason to believe it was Bradford.
Bradford, a single father of a 7-year-old girl, was recovering Wednesday afternoon at his mother's home in Magnolia. He works at a local nonprofit, where he leads the LGBTQ resource group.
Bradford said he believes the attack was a hate crime because he had just left a gay bar and the suspects appeared to have no other reason to be in the neighborhood.


The Wall Street Journal featured a nice article on the silver swan automaton housed at the Bowes Museum. The swan was created by John-Joseph Merlin (1735 – 1803), a Belgian inventor and horologist. The automaton is indeed a marvel of mechanical design.
The most complex machinery is in the neck. The movement is driven by four springs, each about one millimeter thick. There are five levers: one operates the lower bill to preen the feathers and "eat" the fish; the second operates the fish (which is concealed in the neck) that the bird appears to catch; the third allows the swan's head to nod; the fourth arches the neck; and the fifth is linked to the middle and allows its graceful movement.
Once a day, the automaton is set in motion. The bird looks left and right, then turns its neck around as if to preen the silver feathers on its back. Spinning glass rods in front of the majestic bird give the impression of a flowing stream in which several small fish seem to swim. The bird spots the fish and plunges down, beak agape, to catch one. Upon rising, a wriggling silver fish is seen within the bird's beak. After a few moments, the bird swallows the metallic fish and the show ends.
Here is the article in the Wall Street Journal about the silver swan automaton: Magic Wrought by a Merlin.

LG Expects Best-ever Q3 Results on Robust Home Appliance, TV Sales
Posted on October 8, 2020 by Korea Bizwire in Technology with 0 Comments
This photo taken on Aug. 27, 2020, shows employees entering LG Group's headquarters building in Yeouido, Seoul. (Yonhap)
SEOUL, Oct. 8 (Korea Bizwire) — LG Electronics Inc. on Thursday expected its best-ever third-quarter earnings, as its home appliance and TV sales apparently got a boost from pent-up demand amid the pandemic-driven stay-at-home trend.
In its earnings guidance, the South Korean tech firm projected its operating profit at 959 billion won (US$831 million) for the July-September period, up 22.7 percent from a year earlier.
Its third-quarter operating income estimate beats the market consensus of 888.7 billion won in the data compiled by Yonhap Infomax, the financial arm of Yonhap News Agency, which surveyed 10 Korean brokerage houses in the past three weeks.
LG also expected its third-quarter sales to be 16.9 trillion won in the three-month period, up 7.8 percent from a year earlier. The figure is also above the market consensus of 16.4 trillion won.
Both sales and operating profit are the largest for any third quarter in its history.
LG did not break down performances of its respective business divisions, saying it will announce the detailed earnings later this month.
Analysts believe LG's products highlighting health and hygiene features, such as air purifiers and steam dryers, led its home appliance sales amid the pandemic, while its TV sales also jumped due to the fast-growing stay-at-home economy and demand recovery in North America.
"As stay-at-home trends continue due to COVID-19, sales of its premium home appliances and TVs have been solid," Lee Wang-jin, an analyst at eBest Investment & Securities, said.
"With reduced marketing costs, sales of 75-inch or larger TVs went very well."
According to market researcher TrendForce, LG was the world's second largest TV vendor in the third quarter after its TV shipments increased 6.7 percent on-year to 7.94 million units.
Compared with the second quarter, LG's TV shipments soared 81.7 percent.
This photo provided by LG Electronics Inc. on Sept. 4, 2020, shows the company's OLED TV displayed at a store in Australia.
LG's struggling mobile business has been projected to narrow its operating losses in the third quarter with smartphone sales increasing.
The company expanded its budget smartphone lineup in major markets to overcome the long slump in the mobile business, which has been in the red since the second quarter of 2015.
"LG's mobile business is expected to have reduced its operating loss with demand recovery in the United States and some benefits from the Huawei ban in the Latin American market," Kim Rok-ho, an analyst at Hana Financial Investment, said.
LG's vehicle component solutions business has been also tapped to post improved earnings in the third quarter as global automakers started to resume operations after lockdowns.
Shares in LG dived 2.91 percent to 93,300 won on the Seoul bourse, underperforming the broader KOSPI's 0.21 percent increase despite its upbeat earnings guidance.

"We are thrilled with the result and the evening was a great opportunity for us to meet some of the best tourism businesses across the country. To be included in this list and take home the gold is an honour."
Having won a total of ten awards at both Cornish and national ceremonies over the last three years, Little White Alice is proving a big hit with holiday makers and locals alike.
Little White Alice's accumulated total of ten awards, ranges from Gold in Sustainable Tourism at the Cornwall Tourism Awards in 2011, to Best Artwork at the World Belly Board Competition and now includes the prestigious Visit England accolade.
Rosie is extremely proud of the many tourism and sustainability awards Little White Alice has won so far saying:
"It has been an exciting three years for the company, we never expected this success. Our initial aim was to make a holiday complex which upheld the values that were important to us. Now it is our sustainable ethos that we are being recognised and commended for."
Rosie continued: "We work hard to give our guests a more sustainable holiday experience, in the hope that they will return home and adopt some of our ideas into their everyday lives. We can see this becoming a reality more and more, which is very fulfilling."

A busy 2023 roadmap for Orange Business Services
Aliette Mousnier-Lompr, CEO of Orange Business Services, opened the Orange subsidiary's back-to-school event on September 27. The opportunity to share the operator's and ESN's roadmap for 2023 and confirm its status after taking up the position last May.
On the occasion of its 4th Orange Business Summit, which is being held today at the Carrousel du Louvre, Orange Business Services (OBS) presented its goals achieved and the goals set for 2023. Aliette Mousnier-Lompré, newly appointed Chief subsidiary of Orange, took stock of what it now calls both a telecom operator and a digital service company (ESN). Present in France and abroad, OBS is "at a turning point in its business". It thus indicates that 43% of this activity now corresponds to IT and integration. With the desire to position OBS as a leading global player, Aliette Mousnier-Lompré set out to present clear objectives in a crisis situation (see her interview at LMI).
"Our first half results show a strong decline. For 18 months, we have seen our profitability fall for both structural and cyclical reasons", analyzes the daily manager. Firstly, there is the macroeconomic, geopolitical and health context on a global level, which weighed the results. The development of the market and applications is also the reason for this decrease in results. "Working methods in companies are changing, fewer employees mean less need for business networks, but networks remain essential, especially for the relationship between employees or with customers", it continues managing director at OBS. In fact, "some historically very strong industries are in decline," she notes. On the other hand, three buoyant areas are growing within OBS: +8% on data, +13% on cybersecurity and +15% on cloud. Faced with these conclusions, Aliette Mousnier-Lompré announces massive investments in the technologies of the future.
"Creating a New Kind of Digital Player"
"Today we invest 1 billion euros in the cloud and data, in 2023 it will be 1 billion euros for cyber". It sets out a clear goal: "Create a new kind of digital player and consolidate cloud, data and AI activity". With a presence in 220 territories and countries, OBS truly dreams of being a world-renowned ESN. The Orange subsidiary also announces a detailed roadmap to accelerate development. She will focus on five areas. First, the transformation of customers' digital infrastructures, which OBS intends to strengthen through its partnership with Netskope, a cyber security specialist. The executive also lists investments made in analytics, data and artificial intelligence, as well as in the employee and customer experience (especially through the development of contact centers). Finally, OBS indicates that it is developing the whole industry 4.0 part, including IoT and autonomous robots, digital twins, sensors installed to measure the environment, but also to start the predictive maintenance activity.
On the management side, a reorganization is also on the agenda. Aliette Mousnier-Lompré states that she will create "a new organization on 1eh January 2023″ to radically transform OBS' operating model. The idea: to strengthen customer focus and management of the company by geographical areas and no longer by product lines, as is the case today, a model that repeats that of ESNs. The hiring of more IT-oriented and international profiles in the management team is also on the agenda. With this busy roadmap, OBS' CEO aims for a return to growth in 2024.
