UN atomic chief calls for pause in Iran sanctions
Bloomberg: United Nations atomic agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei called on the Security Council to take a "timeout" from sanctions and for Iran to pause its uranium enrichment to avert a crisis over the country's nuclear program. By Jonathan Tirone
Sept. 10 (Bloomberg) — United Nations atomic agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei called on the Security Council to take a "timeout" from sanctions and for Iran to pause its uranium enrichment to avert a crisis over the country's nuclear program.
"A double timeout of all enrichment-related activities and of sanctions could provide a breathing space for negotiations to be resumed," ElBaradei told the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-member board of governors in Vienna. "The earlier we move from confrontation and distrust to dialogue and confidence- building, the better for Iran and the international community."
ElBaradei's suggestion today is likely to put him at odds with both U.S. and Iranian diplomats. The State Department is trying to rally support for a third round of sanctions against Iran at the Security Council in New York. The government in Tehran has repeatedly rejected a pause in its nuclear work as a precondition for negotiations with the West.
"The issue of Iran's suspension of uranium enrichment is an old and unacceptable one," the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency today quoted Iran Supreme Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani as saying yesterday in an interview on state television.
"Those sanctions are having an effect," State Department spokesman Tom Casey told an Aug. 7 media briefing in Washington, according to a transcript. Casey said the penalties are hampering investment in Iran, holder of the world's second biggest oil and natural gas reserves.
U.S. Criticism
ElBaradei and Larijani agreed last month to an accord that gives UN inspectors greater access to Iran's atomic facilities. The deal may by the end of this year lift suspicion that Iran's past nuclear work was a cover for developing weapons, ElBaradei said in an interview last week.
U.S. diplomats have been critical of the agreement.
"Cooperation that is partial, conditional and only promised in the future is not enough," Gregory Schulte, the U.S. ambassador to the IAEA, said today at a media briefing in Vienna. "Cooperation that gives Iran wherewithal to build nuclear weapons is not enough."
Germany's IAEA Ambassador, Peter Gottwald, said the Security Council resolutions ordering Iran to suspend its nuclear work should continue to be the basis for negotiation with the Islamic Republic. Gottwald said there should be guarantees that Iran's present and future atomic work won't lead to weapons.
"We need to see and we hope that the implementation happens as fast as possible and that will give us a much better way of judging its quality," the diplomat said at the board meeting, referring to the Iran-IAEA accord.
In his speech to the board, ElBaradei urged Iran to go beyond the text of its agreement with his agency, and said it's "indispensable" that the country implement a law allowing inspectors to search manufacturing and military sites associated with its nuclear work.

Every time I come to BragaI have the same feeling: as if I came back to the historical heart of Portugal, to its Christian roots, the moment when everything started making sense for humanity. Though it might seem like a philosophical approach towards a small city, quite unknown to the large public, a short guide of Braga only tries to present some of the most significant events from its history, essential to its present development.
Most of the tourists who come to Braga are in pursuit of the historical and artistic masterpieces that reflect a glorious past but few of them really know how Braga became a Portuguese territory. Populated since the prehistoric times by the Bracari (a Celtic people), Braga was conquered in the 2nd century BC by the Romans, renamed Bracara Augusta. Braga represented an important religious center in the 11th century when the city was appointed the seat of the Portuguese archbishops. This also explains the large number of religious edifices (more than 30 churches, statues, monuments etc) that you will discover while walking through Praça da Republica and the significance of the city in the religious history of the Portuguese people. The most important edifices which should be a must on your traveling list are Braga Cathedral, King's Chapel, Archbishop's Palace, Capela dos Coimbras, Bom Jesus Sanctuary, Saint Vincent Church.
How to get to Braga?
If you are worried about getting to Braga, then let me tell you that you can easily reach the city from Porto or Lisbon by train or bus. The journey from Porto to Braga takes less than one hour and a half while the journey from the capital of Portugal takes more than five hours. If you want to visit the surroundings of Braga, then you should get the necessary information on the bus schedules. If you want to make the best out of your journey and prepare the travel itinerary according to your time schedule then a good idea could be renting a car. Automóvel Club de Portugal (including headquarter in Braga) provides a large number of cars at good prices. If you want to find out more about the internal transportation in Braga then visit the official page of the local bus company: www.tub.pt. Of course you can also rent a bicycle to move in Braga, easier and cheaper.
A short guide of Braga was meant to offer you some tips on the best way to move around in this lovely city or outside of it. I also hope that the historical information (summarized to the minimum) stirred the interest of tourists passionate about history, archeology and religious edifices and made you take into consideration a trip to Braga.


Cassini-Huygens is probably the most famous deep-space probe humanity has produced. Its launch, a joint venture between the Italian Space Agency, the European Space Agency and NASA, was a major international collaboration intended to send images and other data about Saturn and its many moons back to Earth. However, none of these agencies could have anticipated in full the revelations that Cassini's sensors and cameras would transmit over its lengthy mission.
The craft, which mainly consists of Cassini, the module that propelled the mission along, and Huygens, an advanced probe developed by the ESA, studied the planet, its rings and its associated bodies by orbiting them ceaselessly for years. The spacecraft's successful transmission of in-depth information about these worlds amazed and informed scientists for years – and also unwittingly defined the nature of its own demise. Many people who benefitted from Cassini's mission were sad to see it come to an end. However, Cassini's final mission – a terminal flight into Saturn's upper atmosphere near its northern pole – was also a poetic last line in its story: becoming part of the planet it had studied so well for so long.
Cassini-Huygens was launched from Cape Canaveral on the 21st October 1997 – almost twenty years prior to the day its mission was to end. It was equipped with engines powered by radioisotopes to reach Saturn. However, the unmanned flight was helped along by several fly-bys past a number of planets, which generated a gravitational 'sling-shot' effect to speed up its journey to its ultimate destination. This energy-conserving method of space flight allowed it to reach Saturn nearly seven years into its trip. Huygens, which had been ensconced in veritable stasis in its dock on the main body of Cassini up to this point, was successfully deposited on the surface of Titan. The probe proceeded to capture some astounding footage that turned the study of that moon on its head. Huygens sent high-resolution images of the moon's surface that portrayed the methane-rich world as a landscape filled with rounded stones and vast plains – which were more relatable to some places on Earth than anyone might have expected. The descent onto Titan was a difficult and complicated process lasting nearly two and a half hours, and resulted in 72 minutes of scanning and camera work on the part of Huygens; however, no-one can say that this time and effort was wasted in the slightest.
The Huygens probe was a device of 2.7 metres in length that resembled something like a clam on the outside. The outer shell giving this appearance was designed to be tough enough to protect the delicate sensors and instrumentation on the inside. Huygens contained a long list of these; they ranged from equipment not too different from those found in the average chemistry or biochemistry lab. For example, it had a gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer (GC/MS) to analyze the atmospheric samples taken in by the aerosol collector/pyrolyser. However, its spectral imaging and radiometry module was a little more particular to the Titan descent mission. This instrument generated images and recordings across an exceptionally broad spectral range while parachuting to the moon's surface. Similarly, another instrument emitted radio waves, as it was anticipated that the winds on Titan would create a Doppler effect as the probe made landfall. This would allow Huygens to study the properties of the atmosphere while active on the moon. The probe also contained sensors to study almost conventional properties, such as temperature, pressure, thermal conductivity and the speed of sounds on the extra-terrestrial world. It also studied the index of refraction and dielectric constant of liquids on Titan. Huygens found that Titan has argon, ethane, nitrogen and ammonia in its atmosphere, in addition to its methane content. Its surface temperature is -180⁰C and is subject to 1500 millibars of pressure.
Huygens revealed many other unexpected facets of what it's like within Titan's atmosphere, such as that it does in fact have dynamic weather patterns and that it is likely to have both large land- and ocean-covered regions. However, it did not manage to answer some other questions, an example of which is what the most prominent feature of Titan as seen by Cassini, Xanadu, actually is. Cassini itself sent back its own impressive portfolio of ground-breaking data concerning the nature of Saturn, its rings and other moons. A prime example is the discovery that Enceladus, a major target of Cassini's based on previous findings that it might contain ice, does in fact have water under its surface. In fact, Enceladus is entirely covered with water, the surface of which is frozen. Evidence of water on this and other moons in Saturn's orbit suggests that life could evolve on these worlds. Cassini made these findings using its camera. These cameras could detect light of normal, ultra-short and ultra-long wavelengths, which was sent back as raw data that was then processed on Earth to generate images of both familiar and novel Saturnian features. Cassini also contained an array of spectrometers, magnetometers and spectrographs to measure and analyse the ions, plasma, gravitational waves, magnetic forces and cosmic dust (which included ice) emitted from or acting on Saturn, its rings and moons. However, these advancements in knowledge also led to the orchestration of Cassini's demise in September 2017.
Thanks to Cassini-Huygens, Saturn's lunar system has gone from a lifeless pantheon of planet-orbiting rocks to a pantheon of potentially life-supporting worlds vibrant with research potential. However, this also informed how the spacecraft's mission was to come to an end. Given that some moons such as Enceladus are apparently rich in water, while others like Titan are home to organic molecules that may be the partial basis for life, this presented a problem for Cassini and where it would rest when its fuel source was depleted. Researchers back on Earth had found that bacteria could survive in space and possibly propagate on encountering favourable conditions (like water or potential food sources) in extra-terrestrial environments. Therefore, Cassini could not land on a moon as planned, in case micro-organisms that had come along for the ride happened to thrive there. Even though the real-world chances for this are likely to be minimal, scientists at space agencies cannot take the chance that these moons could become contaminated before they can be studied.
Accordingly, the plan to end Cassini's mission was changed so as to drive the craft directly into Saturn's atmosphere, at an angle that would avoid the planet's South Pole and its massive storm system. The craft would burn up harmlessly, leaving the worlds it studied pristine for the future research missions that would be its legacy. Cassini sent its last radio signals at approximately 12:55 GMT on September 15th, 2017. In its twenty-year run, it discovered new Saturnian moons, gave an unprecedented insight into the appearance and geology of fascinating worlds such as Titan and Iapetus, and produced inspiring images of Saturn and its rings. Cassini-Huygens has paved the way for further missions that explore worlds such as Enceladus, and maybe even future flights to even further-flung planets in our solar system. In addition, it is to be hoped that the success of the Huygens probe has solidified the role of European space research in these endeavours.


There's even less difference when loading Silverlight applications (from what I test it's exactly the same before and with NoDo on the Omnia 7).
The omnia 7 was already very fast, i'm actually surprised that its even faster now! The speed difference on the HTC devices is a different story, most games load twice as fast and some are over 3x as fast as they were pre-nodo!
I've also noticed that processor intesive apps such as Flickr now perform better than before.
I'm using an HTC Surround and am loving how faster the games load up on the phone after NoDo!
Guys why am i still on 7004 ..it seems everyone pre Nodo, is on 7008 version. I have a samsung Omnia 7 ..and i havent had an update to get to 7008?

Webster makes it sound so easy….
Redeemable. That's a big word in fiction writing. When you create a character, sometimes you don't want them redeemable. You want a villain so evil people stand up and cheer at their fate, a la Dolores Umbridge. (Sorry, I wanted that woman to die more than I wanted Voldemort dead!) Sometimes you want people to understand why they are the way they are, to perhaps feel a twinge of understanding. Sometimes you want the character to be puzzling, so readers can't quite decide if they're completely evil or not.
All of this, of course, presupposes you have A Plan.
See how nicely it all comes together when you have a plan?
But life–and writing–being what they are, sometimes things just happen. Like an editor buying what you assumed would be a standalone book, and then, when it's too late to change anything, asking for a spinoff. And realizing that only one secondary character truly stood out enough to be the main character in said spinoff. And that character just happens to be…well, darn near irredeemable. As in one of Those. Yes, she's a b*tch.
Dogs are for the most part nicer than people anyway, right?
Whose idea WAS this, anyway???
It wasn't long before I was pacing the floor, yelling at myself for being an idiot. Why on earth–or any of the worlds I was writing about–had I ever thought I could save this woman? What had possessed me to choose her as a heroine? How on earth was I going to make this woman in the least heroic, let alone loveable?
I finally realized there was only one way to do this. I had to go back to the bones. I had to tear this woman down and try to rebuild her into something heroic. And I had to do it so thoroughly that readers would believe that it was possible for this woman to achieve that redemption. Had I realized what I was letting myself in for, I probably would have rethought it. But as I said, I was young and foolish and probably a bit cocky thanks to landing on the fast track my first published year and having sold a ridiculous number of books quickly. Ha. That'll learn me, as my uncle used to say.
Wait, where does that stick go again?
And nearly 600 manuscript pages later, it was done. Whether I succeeded is not really up to me. Whatever I think, it is the reader who ultimately decides. Although I will happily accept the assessment of reviewer extraordinaire I mentioned in the last post, Melinda Helfer, who gave SKYPIRATE that rarest of accolades, one that has since been retired–an actual 5-star review in RT Magazine. The book also won a Reviewer's Choice award, a Reader's Voice award, and along with its predecessor, LORD OF THE STORM, was on the RT top 200 of all time list. So I guess maybe I did succeed. But I swear I will never try that again. Next b*tch I write stays one.
Heroes, on the other hand…..
I'm with him. He's speaking, obviously, of films, but it applies to books just as much. Perhaps, in some ways, even more. Or at least, differently. Because we tell the story in a way that requires the participation of the reader. They must activate their own mind and imagination to process the words we present into the story being told. You can't read and do anything else, except maybe—and dangerously–eat. (Well, I can read and knit, but that's another story.) At least, not with any amount of concentration.
There's an old tale about the origin of storytelling. When primitive men returned from the mastodon hunt, and gathered around the fire, someone would tell the tale of the hunt. In great, exciting, bloody detail, he would relate exactly what happened. Was he the first storyteller? No. The first storyteller was the guy who stood up next and told the tale of the one that got away and the hunt that might have been. The one who first used his imagination to build events that didn't really happen, but seemed as if they could have. The one who created, in his listener's minds, broader horizons, more amazing creatures, and more heroic hunters.
There's been some resistance, indicated by lack of success or expansion of the idea, to enhanced e-books. And a lot of speculation about why. My theory is that it's because they are two different processes. If you want a visual experience, you watch TV or a movie. If you want to read a story, you want to read a story. You want to visualize those characters in your mind in your own way, not that of a casting agency. (Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher? Seriously??) You want to picture the surroundings in your own way, perhaps furnishing it with things that are in your own experience, imagining that that painting of a landscape on the wall of a character's home is very like the one on your own wall. The connections in reading occur on many levels, perhaps simply because we are one human being telling a story to another. We may not have a lot in common, but the connection is made for that simple reason—we are all human beings, and we share the joy and the pain that that brings.

US officials want to pass a law outlawing unbreakable encryption
posted Friday Jun 28, 2019 by Scott Ertz
Over the past few years, one of the most important advancements in computing has been the availability of high-quality encryption. As online companies, governments, and hackers continue to expand their attacks on personal computing devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones, the need to protect your data has never been more important. While companies like Microsoft offer more and more options to protect your data, including BitLocker in Windows 10 and OneDrive Personal Vault in the cloud, the perceived threat to governments gets stronger.
Over the past few years, we have seen countries like Australia try to outlaw strong encryption under the guise of national security. This week, a report from Politico suggests that the current US administration is considering asking Congress to pass legislation to require all encryption be breakable.
Of course, this makes the practice of encryption useless if it is able to be bypassed. Any time there is a backdoor into a security system, the backdoor leaks and the security system is breached. The fear or frustration over encryption, in terms of governmental involvement, has been heightened since the attack in San Bernardino in 2017. Law enforcement had an iPhone that they believed had useful information on it, but an officer had screwed up, permanently locking the device. They asked Apple to bypass the security, but Apple refused, citing device security. They made the same claim, that once a hack was built, it would leak.
In response to Apple's refusal to create a special version of iOS that would bypass the security on this device alone, the Department of Justice began petitioning for "responsible encryption," which is a term which means that the only responsibility the encryption platform has is to the government, not to their customer. The extension of this misleading and incredibly dangerous idea is where we pick up the thread this week. If the administration, in particular, the DOJ and FBI, get their way, then encryption would no longer hold the value that it was designed to hold. All encrypted data would be required to have a backdoor that would be guaranteed to leak, exposing all of your personal data to hackers. On the other side of the argument has been the Commerce and State Departments, which have always fought on behalf of the consumer.
Unfortunately, this information comes from leaks of a black box meeting, whose content was not intended for public consumption. That means that until someone pitches the idea formally, this is all just rumor. Hopefully, it will remain that way.

Prices for the 2019 season are expected to increase when registration is reopened in the Fall of 2018.


What exactly is an e-mail spam filter? How does one operate? How do you enable spam filtering?
An email filter is an app that prevents unasked-for email messages from entering a given inbox. A substantial percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam emails: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications, and so on. Because of this, it's extremely important to set up email filters to avoid not only spam emails, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety – certain words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender's address, or the IP of the sender's outbound mail server. Hosting providers frequently resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-date databases to make spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting genuine email messages, even if they include suspicious words.
The safety of any mailbox that you set up under a shared hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin spam filter that we use. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with five levels of protection based on the spam score given to each message depending on various criteria, such as the frequency of specific words, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk messages, you can always raise the level or if you're afraid that you may miss an authentic message, you can combine the automatic spam filter with a custom one and redirect all messages from a specific sender to a separate mailbox. If you reach the decision that you no longer require an email filter for a specific email account, you can disable it with only a couple of mouse clicks.

Japan attracts tourists by promoting sports and luxury spas
Tokyo [Okinawa], Oct 28 : J League is a popular professional soccer group in Japan. The teams fight for TBC Levian Cup, which was initiated in 1992, a year before the launch of J League.
Various historical games have taken place since then. The Yamazaki biscuit company, the major confectionary company in Japan, is the official sponsor of this tournament.
Originally called the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup, the name has been changed to the YBC Levain Cup this year.
"Children and young generation like cookies, so we wish to get the support of young people. We are registered in a Guinness World Records book as a solo sponsor that supported for the longest time in the official soccer games," said Chairman Japan Professional Football League, Mitsuru Murai.
At the eve of the final match of the Levain Cup, the players from both teams gathered and deepened their friendship.
Also, after selecting the most promising young players, the New Hero Award was presented. "The game has been said as an event to foster young players. In 2020, the Olympic games will be held in Tokyo. We would like to make this event an occasion where young players can make their debuts and at the same time to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics," added Murai.
Outside the stadium, many people enjoyed soccer game related attractions. "It's a fun game since there is only one chance to move forward. Japan's southernmost Okinawa attracts many domestic and foreign tourists. White sand beach, deep blue sea, and colorful plants are rich resource of tourism," said a soccer fan.
Solare Hotels and resorts manage 56 big hotel and resort facility. It promotes special tours for female tourists. The hostel has a natural hot spring facility in Naha city. In provides special attractions for female tourists like organic products. The spa is open for men, including foreign tourists..

I'd like to tell you what happened to me the other day as a way of bringing glory to God.
I've been collecting baby items for my pregnant friend. I haven't actually given my friend anything. Dwayne and I still want to have one or two babies of our own, God willing, so I'm keeping my baby stuff for myself to use again in the future. But, I do have a lot of friends who don't know this pregnant friend of mine who are completely done having kids. So, I've asked them to give me their baby items, so I can pass them along to my pregnant friend in turn.
It's taking a measure of self control not to be envious over the items my pregnant friend is receiving. And, like I said, I'm not done having babies and it would be pretty nice to go through the bags and piles and take out what I want for myself and pass along the left overs to my pregnant friend. But, I made a vow to God that if He would use me to meet my friend's needs, I would give her "first dibs" on everything I collected. The items would flow like water from my hands into hers.
And, so God is blessing her. She's gotten a beautiful vibrating baby chair, a high chair that attaches to a kitchen chair, a Bumbo seat, a box full of nice baby toys, a play mat that looks basically brand new, several bags of baby clothes, shoes and blankets, etc. These are all things she needs, things she has been able to tick off her baby registry, things she and I set out looking to God to provide for her.
On Saturday, my doorbell rang and a friend was here to donate even more baby stuff. After I collected it, I said goodbye to her and walked inside and sat down to email my pregnant friend to set up a time to drop off the new items. That's when my phone rang.
Another friend of mine was calling to let me know that she was downsizing, cleaning off her bookshelves and she wanted to give me her old home school books. I said, "Yes. Of course." and so, before I could even set up a time to give my pregnant friend the baby items I had collected for her, I had to set up a time to pick up home school books for me!
Now, you should know that I have been praying about books. I've wanted them desperately. As a rule, we can only really afford the most basic, most essential texts we use for home school instruction. Even those cost quite a lot of money. For any other books, any "extras," we have to use the library. And, we check out thirty books at a time, but still, there are plenty of books I'd like to own, medal winners, especially. I'd like to own Usborne and Eyewitness books, books about animals and plants with colorful, high-quality photos, the kind you and your kids can read and glean something new from over and over again.
I took the pictures above after unpacking four out of the six boxes of books I was given. Six out of ten of the books I recognize and I know that I will like. The titles that I don't recognize, I'll probably end up liking, too. Many of these are animal and nature books that seem to fit our need for science books right now and it seems like almost a quarter of them are medal winners.
And, so it happened, on the very same day I emptied my Jeep of baby items I had collected for my pregnant friend, I got to fill it with boxes and boxes of home school books that I've wanted for a long time.

Q: How can I tell if given data is encrypted with a public key I'm going to re-phrase my question completely so it makes more general sense (and correct my blunder with AES/RSA).
Alice has a large block of data to send to Bob via a local mailbox that isn't secure.  To keep her data from prying eyes, she does this:

*

*She generates a random 256-bit key

*She uses AES-256 encryption to encrypt the data using the key

*She uses Bob's public key to encrypt the key she's used

*She puts the encrypted data and the encrypted key in the mailbox addressed to Bob

Mike the mailman picks up the mail from the mailbox.  However, he doesn't want to lug the data all the way across the internet to Bob's place if bob isn't going to be able to decrypt it.
The question is, how can Mike ascertain whether the key has actually been encrypted using Bob's public key?
In my application I need to transport sensitive data to a data centre.  To achieve this, I have an upload process that accepts files (that have already been AES-encrypted with a key, then the key is encrypted with the recipient's public key) and sends them to the data centre.  The corresponding private key is held at the data centre and used to decrypt the files on receipt.  This is currently in the design stage so there is some flexibility on the public/private key technology to be used but it's likely to be a C# application that's doing the work.
I would like to protect against uploading files that have NOT been encrypted using the public key (because I may waste significant bandwidth and the receiving application at the datacentre will fail to decrypt them).
So, what I want to know is how can I tell at the sending end whether a file has been encrypted using a given public key?
In a nutshell, I have an encrypted file and a public key.  Has the file been encrypted with that key?
Thanks in advance etc.!

Sep 14, 2008 12 min read Ephesians
This summer we went swimming on the ocean in Chatham, Cape Cod. As we left the beach we actually read the warning sign that you're supposed to read as you enter the beach. If we had read it sooner, we probably wouldn't have let our kids swim in the water. It warned of dangerous rip currents and undercurrents and actually scared some of us in the family. Sometimes it's good not to know what you're getting into.
I feel a little like that as we look at today's passage. The passage we're about to look at is deep and dangerous water. We have a number of challenges in front of us this morning. First, it's one sentence in the original. Verses 3 to 14 are one long sentence in the Greek, with clause piled upon clause. Second, nobody can really agree how to untangle this passage. One commentator said, "Every attempt to provide a strophic structure for [this passage] has failed." It's like an explosion of praise. It's hard to see where one concept ends and another one begins. Third, there are some deep and profound theological truths here. This isn't introductory theology. You could go deep into almost every phrase in this sentence.
So I almost feel like posting a warning sign as we look at this passage. There are dangerous currents, and this is not easy swimming. But it's definitely worth diving in.
The apostle Paul is writing to a group of ordinary people who live in a diverse city, an important commercial center, one of the biggest cities in the area. It was a center of learning, and it was strategically positioned near some key routes. And it's written to some ordinary people, people just like us: some who were well off, some who weren't. This isn't some abstract treatise written to exceptional people. This is a letter written to people just like us.
It's important to keep this in mind because in these verses Paul pulls back the curtain and lets us peer in to witness a cosmic drama. Why does he do this?
If someone were to ask you about the drama you're a part of, you might say, "What drama?" But then you might talk about the drama at work or the drama at school or the drama that's going on when your family all gets together and all the personalities react to each other. But chances are you'd be talking about a drama that wasn't too grand, or if it is grand, one that you'd rather not be part of.
But Paul wants his readers to know that they are part of a much bigger drama than they even know. The biggest drama is not your kids when they run wild. It's not when your in-laws come to town and drive you crazy. The biggest drama in your life is not trying to balance your checkbook at the end of the month. For a minute, Paul wants to pull back the curtain and let us see what's really going on in this world that we don't even know about.
This is especially important for us, because somebody's said that we now live in a world without windows. They're not talking about Microsoft Windows. It's a phrase from sociologist Peter Berger. Traditionally, people have recognized that there is someone to appeal to beyond themselves, something and someone much bigger than this world. But we've lost this window to an unseen reality. More than ever, we need the message of this passage. We need to see that there's more going on than the things we see around us.
So Paul writes in verse 3: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ." There's enough here in this one verse that we could just stop here. Paul praises God, because God the Father has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing. In other words, we are participants – or should we say beneficiaries – of what God is up to in the world. We have been blessed because of what God is up to in the cosmic drama of redemption. As Paul is about to draw back the curtain, it's like he's saying, "This includes you, you know."
And then in verses 4 to 14 he explains exactly what God has been up to in this cosmic drama, and how it touches each person who is a recipient of his grace. Now, I told you that nobody quite knows how to structure this passage. You could study this passage according to time. You could study all the different spiritual blessings that he mentions in this passage – there are at least seven, by the way. But since I'm a preacher, and we all know that preachers like three points, I want to look at this passage according to the actions of the triune God within this cosmic drama.
1. God the Father initiated
Verses 3 to 6 speak of God the Father:
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
So as these ordinary people listen, Paul pulls back the curtain to before the world even began and lets us see where this cosmic drama began: in the mind of God the Father. Verse 11 continues the same thought: "In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will…" In fact, in this whole long sentence, God the Father is the subject of almost every verse. He is the main character, the one who is behind all the spiritual blessings we read about in this passage.
The cosmic drama of redemption began long before you existed. In fact, it began even before this world existed, before time began. It actually began in eternity when only God himself existed. Before any human acted or even existed, God not only knew that Adam would sin. He had already purposed to repair the damage done by sin, and to fulfill his original intention for humanity: to create a people for himself who are conformed to the likeness of his Son. And even more: he actually chose us to be adopted as his children. His purpose has always been to bring the people he chose into a personal relationship with him through Jesus Christ. Not only do we get to enjoy a relationship with God, but we also get to enjoy all the benefits that come from being a member of his family.
This is the doctrine of election or predestination. It's one that a lot of people struggle with because it brings up a lot of things that we don't understand. Does it take away our freedom of choice? Actually, no. You can choose anything you want. The only problem is that in our natural state, damaged by sin, we were completely incapable of choosing God. It's like gravity: I can throw an apple in the air, and once I release it, it can go any direction it would like, but because of gravity the only direction it's going to go is down. Unless someone reaches in from outside of that apple and changes its direction, it's always going to go down. God's sovereign choosing of us is not about taking away our choice; it's actually enabling us through the Holy Spirit to choose him.
Someone's said, "Instead of destroying the value of human choices, election gives us a capacity for choosing that we did not possess previously as an unregenerate person" (James Boice).
What about those God hasn't chosen? It's so unfair, we think. But here again we have to admit that there are things that we don't understand. Just because we can't comprehend of a reason doesn't mean that God doesn't have one.
How do I know if I am one of those God has chosen? Here's the beautiful thing: you never do up front. It's like those arguments I love to get going between couples when I ask which one of the two became interested in the other person first. If you are finding yourself drawn to Christ, you may feel like you are taking the initiative, but it is in fact because God is drawing you to himself. God initiates. He chooses us before we could ever choose him. Paul pulls back the curtain and says that before time or this world ever began, God initiated this cosmic drama, and this drama included you. God chose you before this world began.
By the way, this should make us incredibly humble, because we can't take any credit for our relationship with God. We didn't have anything to do with it.
It also gives us confidence. If we chose God, then our decision could change at any moment. Our salvation would be as unstable as we are. But our salvation is rooted in God's eternal choice, and nothing we do can thwart his purpose.
It also leads to gratitude. You see that this is exactly how Paul responded. Paul couldn't contain his gratitude that God had somehow chosen us for no good reason except for his own good pleasure. It's like the way they used to pick sports teams in school when we were growing up. Entertainer Garrison Keillor recalls the childhood pain of being chosen last for the baseball teams:
The captains are down to their last grudging choices: a slow kid for catcher, someone to stick out in right field where nobody hits it. They choose the last ones two at a time— "you and you"—because it makes no difference. And the remaining kids—the scrubs , the excess—they deal for us as handicaps. "If I take him, then you gotta take him," they say.
Sometimes I go as high as sixth, usually lower. But just once I'd like Darrel to pick me first and say, "Him! I want him! The skinny kid with the glasses and the black shoes. You, c'mon!" But I've never been chosen with much enthusiasm.
Just once, Keillor said, he wishes he could have been chosen with enthusiasm. But that's exactly what happened before this world ever began. If you are in relationship with God through Jesus his Son, it is because God chose you to the praise of his glorious grace.
You think your life has no drama. Before you were born, before this world even existed, you were part of the divine drama that God the Father initiated.
2. Jesus accomplished
I want you to notice something as you read this passage. Verse 3 says that we've been blessed with every spiritual blessing "in Christ." Verse 5 says that we've been predestined to adoption "through Jesus Christ." Verse 6 says that we've been given grace in Jesus, "the One he loves." Verse 7 says that it's in Christ that we have redemption – being bought out of slavery to sin – and also forgiveness of sins. And it tells us of the price that has been paid to bring us freedom and forgiveness: "through his blood." Verse 9 says that God purposed the mystery of his will "in Christ." Verse 13 says that the Gentile believers of this letter have been included "in Christ." All the blessings of God are found in Christ. Martyn Lloyd-Jones said:
If you leave out the "in Christ," you will never have any blessings at all…Every blessing we enjoy as Christian people comes to us through the Lord Jesus Christ…Paul is writing here to Christian people, and his concern is that they should understand and grasp the special blessings and privileges possible to them as Christians; and so he emphasizes that all those blessings come in and through the Lord Jesus Christ, and in and through him alone. You cannot be a Christian without being "in Christ." Christ is the beginning as well as the end. He is Alpha as well as Omega. There are no blessings for Christians apart from him.
But then look at verses 8 to 10:
With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
As part of this cosmic drama, God has revealed a mystery to us. The term mystery in the New Testament usually means that something was previously hidden, but has now been disclosed. Paul is saying that we now know something that was previously hidden, and that God purposed this mystery to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment.
What has been made known? That it is God's intention to "bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ," according to verse 10. It's to make Jesus Christ the main point of all of history. God has chosen Christ as the one in which he will sum up the entire cosmos, in whom he will restore harmony to the universe. Jesus Christ is the focal point of the entire universe. Everything that was fragmented, everything that is currently dislocated, everything that needs reconciliation and restoration will be restored to harmony in Jesus Christ.
I have to quote Lloyd-Jones again here:
The perfect harmony that will be restored will be harmony in man and between men. Harmony on the earth and in the brute creation! Harmony in heaven, and all under this blessed Lord Jesus Christ who will be the head of all! Everything will again be united in him. And wonder of wonders, marvelous beyond compare, when all this happens it will never be undone again. All will be reunited in him to all eternity. That is the message; that is God's plan. That is the mystery which has been revealed to us…These things are so marvelous that you will never hear anything greater, either in this world or the world to come.
You are part of a cosmic drama in which you have been blessed with every spiritual blessing, says Paul. And this drama was initiated by God the Father, but it has been accomplished by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And it is God's intention that one day everything will be restored that is currently broken, that everything sad will become untrue. And all of this will take place in Jesus Christ, who is the main point of all of creation. God initiated, but it is Jesus who died to ransom and forgive us, and he is the center, the climax, of the entire cosmic drama of redemption.
So God has initiated, and Jesus accomplished salvation and is the main point of all of history. Finally:
3. The Holy Spirit applies
Verses 13 and 14:
When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.
So here we have had the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father has chosen us and initiated this entire plan before the world ever began. Jesus Christ has ransomed us – bought us out of slavery to sin. He has forgiven us, and is the main point of all of history. Now we have the Holy Spirit, who applies the benefits of all that God has purposed and that Jesus has done for us.
In fact, there are two images of the Holy Spirit's work here: seal and deposit. Seal has the meaning of ownership and protection. In those days, owners would brand their cattle and even their slaves to signify ownership, and to protect what they owned against theft. God stamps us with the Holy Spirit, signifying that we belong to him, and that he will protect us through the trials of our lives.
The other image that Paul uses to describe the Holy Spirit's work is deposit, or down-payment. The Holy Spirit is, in fact, the first installment of all the blessings that God has promised us. God isn't just promising us our final inheritance as his children; he's actually giving us the Holy Spirit, which is a foretaste of all that we will receive one day.
Notice, by the way, the phrase that keeps repeating throughout this passage in verses 6, 12, and 14: to the praise of his glory. This reminds us that God's ultimate purpose is not that we are saved. That's his purpose, but it's not his ultimate one. God's ultimate purpose is his glory; our salvation is a means to accomplishing that purpose.
There's much more here, but this is just a sample of what Paul tells us about the cosmic drama of redemption. I asked myself this week: why would Paul write to ordinary people in an urban center like Ephesus – like Toronto for that matter – and tell them all of this? And here's what I think the answer is: He wanted them to understand that their lives are about much more than making the kid's lunches for school tomorrow, or paying the bills, or making it through another week of school. You are part of the cosmic drama of redemption. And the more we can pull back the curtains and see what is really going on in this world, the more we will realize our place in what God is doing.
But notice, as we close, that Paul didn't write dispassionately. Verses 3 to 14 in one sentence. Nobody does that unless they're excited. When Paul pulled back the curtain, he was overcome with praise and was profoundly moved. God chose us before the creation of the world. He adopted us as his children, making us his sons and daughters with all of the privileges that go with that. He has bought us from slavery to sin by the death of Jesus Christ, and has forgiven us. Our slate has been wiped clean. God says, "I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more" (Jeremiah 31:34). He has revealed his purpose in history to us. He has sealed us with the Holy Spirit, guaranteeing that we are his and that he will protect us. He has given us the Spirit as a down-payment, promising that we are going to receive much, much more later.
Praise God for including us in the cosmic drama of redemption! "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3).

Edinburgh school achieves silver Food for Life standard
Edinburgh Academy Junior School has been recognised by the Soil Association's Food for Life programme for the quality and sustainability of its catering offer
Julian Owen
Edinburgh Academy Junior School has become the first independent in Scotland to attain the silver standard in the Soil Association's Food for Life Served Here (Scotland) programme.
The award is also being celebrated by independents by Sodexo, the company responsible for the school's catering for more than a quarter of a century.
The accreditation recognises the school's continued commitment to making good food an easy option and championing environmentally sustainable, ethical options sourced by local suppliers.
"The relationship built between the headteacher and the caterer are particularly strong, and they work closely together to provide the best experience they can for pupils," said Caron Longden, development lead for Food for Life.
"Some vegetables are grown on site, all waste is composted, and work has been done to ensure the ingredients used in the service meet good animal welfare standards, including organic milk from a local dairy."
Several initiatives have been introduced by Edinburgh Academy Junior School in a bid to help pupils understand the issues around food, as well as giving them a sense of ownership over catering.
A small group of students act as representatives for their peers, feeding back thoughts on menu design and discussing culinary likes and dislikes with head chef, Karen Purves, and catering manager, Shona McGregor.
"This is a great award to achieve," said McGregor. "It takes a lot of hard work to pull together the evidence for the Food for Life assessment.
"I have worked at the academy for several years, and I am committed to ensuring every pupil has a positive experience in the dining room and that we provide healthy, fresh and seasonal options to support pupil wellbeing and the environment."
McGregor heads a team of eight people serving 550 meals a day, invariably including healthy food options, salad bar, fresh vegetables and vegetarian meals.
At least 5% of the ingredient budget is spent on organic produce, utilising Sodexo's relationships with several Scottish growers, farmers and producers.
Seeing such polices translate into gaining the Soil Association's silver award has been a long time coming, said Amanda Vettese, account manager (Scotland), independents by Sodexo.
She explained: "The ambition to reach the silver level, having already attained bronze a few years ago, was held up because of the Covid pandemic. Still, the award is a testament to the commitment and dedication of Sodexo and Edinburgh Academy working in partnership."

YUKON QUEST
Old Town day care passes first hurdle
City council voted in favour of considering a day-care centre in the only all-residential area downtown, despite continued protests from virtually…
Richard Maerov
Jul. 27, 2006 3:00 a.m.
City council voted in favour of considering a day-care centre in the only all-residential area downtown, despite continued protests from virtually all neighbourhood residents.
On Monday, council voted 3-2 in favour of allowing property owner Lori Austin to move forward on her bid to rezone 710 Jarvis Street.
"I'm going to support it to get it to first reading so that the proponent has every opportunity that she can to have the process heard," said acting mayor Dave Austin, noting for the record he was in no way related to Lori Austin.
"She's lucky," he added with a grin.
Lori Austin purchased the house in May with the intention of turning it into a day-care centre.
(The building had been used as a drug house under the previous owner.)
However, as the Old Town property is zoned residential, Austin was forced to apply to the city for a zoning change before she can open for business.
Jarvis Street resident Dean Tower presented a petition to council on Monday opposing Austin's rezoning application and signed by "almost every household within a block of every side of 710 Jarvis."
The only exception being two residents who were away and one who "just moved in and didn't know the issue," said Tower.
"With the petition showing the total solidarity of our community, we would urge the city council again to deny this request for the spot zoning of 710 Jarvis."
Residents opposing the day care say it would cause increased traffic and more dust from the gravel on Eighth Avenue, as well as noise pollution, lack of parking space and a loss of "vibrancy," "attractiveness" and a "sense of community."
Having a house vacant at night would create a security risk and invite more crime, said Tower.
"The residents of Old Town are not taking this lightly, nor are we speaking out of our hats on this issue," he said.
"We're very aware of what a business venture does to our neighbourhood."
Councillors Dave Stockdale and Bev Buckway opposed the motion to go to first reading.
"It was the area residents and the plans in town that said this is a downtown residential area," Stockdale said.
"We've discussed it lots of times together about what the citizens want in that particular area and they do not want commercial development, so I'm totally opposed to this."
Lori Austin doesn't understand why everyone keeps talking about commercial development.
"I'm not going for commercial zoning at all and that seems to be what people are thinking," she said in an interview Tuesday.
She referred to the section "Residential Downtown 1," in the city regulations for zoning bylaw 2006-01.
The principal uses for this type of zoning are single-detached housing, duplex housing, and parks.
Also included is a list of 10 conditional uses, including bed-and-breakfast lodgings, group homes, shelter services and religious assemblies.
One of the conditional uses is child-care services.
"From my understanding, RD1, which 710 Jarvis is a part of, is not just (about) single-detached houses," said Austin.
"They say the area's supposed to be only single-detached, one family per house, but that's not what their bylaw says.
"So if that's not what they mean they should change it."
Buckway opposed the motion because the building was too small for a day care, she said.
The lot, at 465 square metres, is nearly half the size required for a day-care centre under the Child Safety Act.
However, the city has set a condition for the proposed day care so it could not hold more than 32 children — half the number who would be allowed in a standard day care.
"If I have half the lot size, then I'm willing to go half the children or even less than that," said Austin.
"Even 20 children.
"I said I'm very flexible with the numbers — I could have a day home in there with 12 kids and use one floor.
"I feel like a huge child-care centre is what they're envisioning and that's not the case," she said.
A public hearing will be held on August 14th.
Austin said if the rezoning application doesn't make it through the bylaw-amendment process, she has no plans to sell her Jarvis Street house.
"I'll just rent it out," she said.

KPMG earmarks $5 bn digital transformation push; enters into five-year pact with Microsoft
Photo Credit: Reuters

Global accounting and professional services giant KPMG will invest $5 billion over the next five years to enhance its capabilities in the digital transformation of professional services.
As part of the initiative, the Netherlands-headquartered firm has signed a five-year agreement with Microsoft to accelerate its capabilities using cloud and AI (artificial intelligence), said a statement.
Under the terms of the deal, KPMG will deploy Microsoft technologies, including its Azure cloud platform. The deal also does not specify which technologies will be used by KPMG, while there is an indication that it will be dependent on KPMG's consumers as well.
While the statement does not make clear what would be Microsoft's share in licence fees over the next five years, a large part of the KPMG investment would be deployed for systems integration work done by multiple IT service players such as Accenture, TCS, IBM or Infosys apart from several SaaS players. Also, some of the work could be carried out by KPMG's global in-house centres across the world.
According to the companies, the new innovations built on these technologies will help their customers achieve greater accuracy and decision-making capabilities while reducing cost as well as increasing productivity. The agreement also entails significant investments in technology, people and innovation.
KPMG said that it is utilising Microsoft Azure and its AI capabilities as the backbone to strengthen its range of digital offerings with new innovations in cloud-based audit capabilities, tax solutions and risk management. It added that its customers in sectors, including those in highly regulated industries will benefit from globally consistent and continuous service delivery, and greater speed of deployment even while adhering to industry-leading compliance and security standards.
"With this partnership, we are accelerating digital transformation across industries by bringing the latest advances in cloud, AI and security to highly regulated workloads in tax, audit and advisory," said Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft.
According to the companies, the alliance can quickly build applications on-demand, automating manual processes, and continuously analysing information to minimise the risk of errors and increase the ability to make smart decisions.
"Our alliance is a critical component in delivering industry-leading solutions and services to clients. Our significant multiyear investment continues to empower our people to work more efficiently and collaboratively while maximising the power of a workforce that blends people and technology," said Bill Thomas, global chairman, KPMG International.
Through a jointly funded incubator, KPMG and Microsoft are working to co-develop a robust portfolio of solutions and managed services in the areas of cloud business transformation, intelligent business applications and smart workplace solutions, the statement said.
KPMG, with the launch of its smart audit platform KPMG Clara in 2017, became the first of the Big Four to take its audit workflow to the cloud, it said. Based on Microsoft Azure, Clara is an automated, agile, intelligent and scalable platform that allows KPMG professionals to bring powerful data and analytics capabilities into one interface while allowing clients to interact on a real-time basis with the audit process, the statement added.
