It was in 1982 that the ICOMOS suggested that April 18 should be celebrated as the International Day for Monuments and Sites.
Updated on : Sat 18th April 2020, 09:51 AM
April 18 is observed as World Heritage Day as suggested by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). It was in 1982 that the ICOMOS suggested that April 18 should be celebrated as the International Day for Monuments and Sites.
With the global COVID-19 outbreak, the organization has suggested certain measures to celebrate April 18 through the power of the internet. On this day, possible activities can be virtual conferences, online lectures, press releases, and social media campaigns.
You can post photos, information and videos on shared cultures and shared heritage from your respective country. To increase the reach, we should use hashtags and share the message with as many friends and family as possible. Individuals can also upload photos that are in relation to the theme, onto the ICOMOS Photobank.
Here are 5 Heritage sites that one must visit:
Manas Wildlife Sanctuary
The Manas Wildlife Sanctuary is in Assam and covers an area of 50,000 hectares and it was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 for its unique natural environment. The biodiversity hotspot is the habitat of several species, most-threatened, endangered species among others.
Nanda Devi National Park
Nanda Devi National Park is located in Uttarakhand, India, this exotic place is home to rare and endangered animals. Together, they comprise to form as Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve and features in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves since 2004.

LSMS-ISA Tanzania Section E: Livestock & By-Products
This is "Section E" of a report that presents estimates and summary statistics from the 2008/2009 wave of the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TZNPS), part of the Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA). We present our analyses of livestock and livestock by-product characteristics by gender of household head and by zones, as well as our analyses of livestock disease, vaccines, and theft.
LSMS-ISA Tanzania Section D: Farm Characteristics, Crops, and Productivity
This is "Section D" of a report that presents estimates and summary statistics from the 2008/2009 wave of the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TZNPS), part of the Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA). We present our analyses of basic farm characteristics, land and labor productivity, crop sales, yield measures, intercropping, and pre- and post-harvest losses, including comparisons by gender of household head and by zone.
LSMS-ISA Tanzania Section A: Introduction and Overview
This is the introductory section of a report that presents estimates and summary statistics from the 2008/2009 wave of the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TZNPS), part of the Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA). We present an overview of report sections, as well as an executive summary of findings on crops and livestock, constraints to productivity, and productivity and nutrition outcomes.

Gender & Agriculture in Tanzania
Agriculture is a principal source of livelihood for the Tanzanian population. Agriculture provides more than two-thirds of employment and almost half of Tanzania's GDP. Women play an essential role in agricultural production. The sector is characterized as female-intensive, meaning that women comprise a majority of the labor force in agriculture (54%). This brief reviews the academic and grey literature on gender and agriculture in Tanzania, providing an overview on the structure of households, the household structure of agricultural production, information on women's crops, and gender and land rights in Tanzania. We conclude with a summary of challenges to women in agriculture, and of potential implications for women of advancements in production technology and other economic opportunities at the household level.
Agricultural Risks Management in Africa
This brief presents selected material from the Fourth African Agricultural Markets Program (AAMP) policy symposium, Agricultural Risks Management in Africa: Taking Stock of What Has and Hasn't Worked, organized by the Alliance for Commodity Trade in Eastern and Southern Africa and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa that took place in Lilongwe, Malawi, September 6-10, 2010. We draw almost exclusively from Rashid and Jayne's summary, "Risk Management in African Agriculture: A review of experiences." This article summarizes across the background papers, with major findings grouped into three broad categories: cross cutting, government-led policies, and modern instruments.
Tanzania Data Comparison and Analysis: LSMS and Farmer First Surveys
This brief explores agricultural data for Tanzania from the LSMS-ISA and Farmer First household surveys. We first present the differences in the LSMS and Farmer First survey design and in basic descriptives from the two data sources. We then present the results of our initial LSMS data analysis using the 2008/2009 wave of the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TZNPS), focusing on the agricultural data, before presenting our analysis of farmer aspirations and of gender differences using the Farmer First data.
Crops & Climate Change: Executive Summary
This report combines analyses from four previous EPAR briefs on the effects of climate change on maize, rice, wheat, sorghum, and millet production in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In addition, this brief presents new analysis of the projected impact of climate changes in SSA. We include comparisons of the importance of each crop, of their vulnerability to climate change, and of the research and policy resources dedicated to each. Especially with respect to climatic susceptibility, these rankings provide a comparative summary based upon the analysis conducted in the four previous EPAR briefs, statistical analyses of historical yield and climate data, and future climate model predictions. According to the indicators analyzed, our research suggests that maize leads the cereal crops in terms of importance within SSA and in terms of research and policy attention. Our analysis of climate conditions and the crop's physical requirements suggests that many maize-growing areas are likely to move outside the range of ideal temperature and precipitation conditions for maize production. Rice is the third most important crop in terms of consumption dependency, fourth in terms of production, but second only to maize in terms of research funding and FTEs. Sorghum and millet rank second and third in production importance and second and fifth in consumption importance, but rank below maize and rice in terms of FTE researchers. Their role is complicated by the fact that they are often considered inferior goods; SSA consumers often substitute away from sorghum and millet consumption if they are able to do so. Wheat is the least-produced crop of the five, and the second to last in terms of consumption importance. However, it still ranks above millet in terms of FTE researchers.
Tanzania: Agricultural Sector Overview
This report provides a summary of Tanzania's agriculture sector, crop production, agricultural productivity and yield levels, risks, and policies and reforms. This review uses resources found on the University of Washington Libraries system and Google Scholar, as well as the websites of the Government of Tanzania, FAO, and World Bank. We find that Tanzanian agriculture workers comprise 80% of the population and farm a wide variety of crops, ranging from staple crops such as maize, cassava, and rice, to export crops such as coffee, cotton, tobacco, tea, and sugar. Smallholder farmers face increasing risks from climate change, pests, diseases, and land degradation, among others. While they have some resources available, such as farmer groups and limited access to ICTs, they lack important resources such as credit and inputs. We find that Tanzania's land tenure and agriculture policies may further complicate the lives of smallholders through increased taxes and administrative processes. Through the Agricultural Sector Development Programme (ASDP) reform, however, the Government of Tanzania hopes to empower farmers and improve service delivery.

Baltimore Orioles' plan for Kevin Gausman remains unclear
Joshua Sadlock
Baltimore Orioles, Features, Opinions & Predictions
The Baltimore Orioles could use Kevin Gausman as a spot starter when he comes off the disabled list. They might use him in middle relief, or maybe stretch him out as a starter in Triple-A. Whatever the decision is, it is clear the team is playing this one close to the vest.
"I think that will reveal itself as we go forward," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said after divulging that Gausman's next appearance, as he continued to rehab from shoulder tendinitis, will be limited to two innings. Gausman is scheduled to pitch for the High-A Frederick Keys Tuesday.
When Gausman went down in early May, there was chatter that he would remain in the minors for the foreseeable future to be stretched out for a return to starting after being used exclusively in middle relief to start the season. Now, with Gausman slated to pitch only two innings in his next appearance, after throwing 6 1/3 innings in his first two rehab starts, it is more unclear what his role with the Orioles will be the rest of the season. Keeping Gausman on a short leash in Frederick could keep him available for a spot start this weekend with Miguel Gonzalez out with a groin injury. However, with Mike Wright and Tyler Wilson already in Baltimore, it does not appear likely Gausman would be needed to start.
Gausman has far more upside than both Wright and Wilson, and is likely the pitcher the Orioles would tap if Bud Norris continues to struggle. The team did not hesitate to take Jimenez's starting spot away a season ago, and Norris and his 8.29 ERA could be on the hot seat. Without extended time starting in the minors, it is not likely that Gausman will be ready to take over for Norris should the need arise.
At this point in the season, it may be best for Gausman and the Orioles to stick to the original plan of using Gausman in middle relief this year. The primary middle relief options on the roster — Brian Matusz, Brad Brach, and Tommy Hunter — have had their struggles this season. Chaz Roe has been a revelation of late, but his future performance is difficult to predict. Gausman showed he has the ability to be a shut-down reliever in last year's postseason. As the Orioles edge back into contention, that may be the best and most valuable role for Gausman on this team, but until Gausman returns to the active roster, his role will remain up in the air.

California State Controller
State Employees
Home News Press Releases Virtual Cornucopia of Riches Waits to Reunite with Owners
Virtual Cornucopia of Riches Waits to Reunite with Owners
PR18:27
Contact: JENNIFER HANSON/JASON DUMONT
SACRAMENTO—In case you needed one more thing to be thankful for, State Controller Betty T. Yee today announced the State of California is safeguarding more than 48 million unclaimed properties worth a total of $9.3 billion.
"Some of the simpler online claims can be paid in as quickly as two weeks, perhaps even in time for your holiday shopping," said Controller Yee.
California's unclaimed property law was created nearly 60 years ago to protect consumers. Banks, insurance companies, and other businesses are required to transfer property to the State Controller after a period of no activity (generally three years). Common types of unclaimed property are bank accounts, insurance benefits, uncashed checks, wages, stocks, bonds, and safe deposit boxes. There is no time limit or fee for filing a claim. Properties valued above the eClaim threshold of $5,000, or those with complexities such as multiple heirs, can occasionally take a few months to process.
In October, approximately 56,000 people were reunited with about $32.6 million. Here is a snapshot of the claims paid last month to people in the following nine cities:
1,283 properties valued at $529,660 in San Diego
1,317 properties valued at $317,438 in Bakersfield
817 properties valued at $198,768 in Fresno
113 properties valued at $160,623 in Santa Barbara
132 properties valued at $89,725 in Santa Cruz
250 properties valued at $87,806 in Torrance
318 properties valued at $49,546 in Modesto
34 properties valued at $35,433 in Palm Springs
69 properties valued at $20,108 in Redding
People who find property on the State Controller's website can submit claims for their long-lost money or valuables at any time at www.claimit.ca.gov or by calling (800) 992-4647.
Anyone can download the unclaimed property database for free and see if people in their community or organization have items being safeguarded by the state.
As the chief fiscal officer of California, Controller Yee is responsible for accountability and disbursement of the state's financial resources. The Controller has independent auditing authority over government agencies that spend state funds. She is a member of numerous financing authorities, and fiscal and financial oversight entities including the Franchise Tax Board. She also serves on the boards for the nation's two largest public pension funds. Elected in 2014, Controller Yee is the tenth woman elected to a statewide office in California's history.

Whale Conservation and the International Whaling Commission 0
Secretary of the International Whaling Commission, Dr. Rebecca Lent spoke with Sci on the Fly about the history and evolution of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) – one of the oldest international marine conservation treaty organizations and one of the first to be advised by science. The organization has gone from a body of whaling nations trying to maximize their catches to one that is tackling climate change, pollution, fisheries by-catch, underwater noise, ship strikes, unsustainable whale-watching and other international threats to whales and dolphins. As noted, it was one of the first international treaty organizations to be based on science, and today the Scientific Committee meetings of the IWC are where cutting edge whale and dolphins science is used to inform international whale management and conservation policy.

Amiyah Scott Husband Or Partner: Is She Married To Micah Dixon?
Amiyah Scott Husband Or Partner: Amiyah Scott is an American actress. She rose to fame from her role as Cotton on the Fox drama Star. Besides, she is also a model, author, and dancer. The actress overnight turned into an internet sensation when she posted a video of her performing as a part of ballrooms on YouTube. She also got into people's attention after she posted a before-and-after photo which contrasted her young self, styled as male, and her current self, the self-actualized female.
Moreover, she was the first transgender woman to be cast in the Real Housewives franchise. However, she later left the show due to the conflict with the producers. Subsequently, she was cast by Lee Daniels in the show Star; this became Scott's first acting role.
No, Amiyah Scott is not married to Micah Dixon. Many sources claimed that they were dating while Micah denied that they were dating. He added that he only talked to her and never dated her. Meanwhile, the actress has shared a picture of her and Micah with her 1.6 million followers on her Instagram handle.
It appears that she is currently single. She is probably more focused on her own career rather than relationships. Talking about Amiyah Scott's relationship life, she has kept her personal life private.
Therefore, not much is known about her past relationships and partners. Despite being a public figure, she has managed to keep relationships under the wrap. However, rumor has it, she had at least a few relationships but not much is known about that person she was previously dating.
Amiyah Scott's age is currently 33 years old as she was born in 1988. She celebrates her birthday every year on January 11 with her friends and family. Manhattan native, she was raised in New Orleans, Louisiana.
In addition, she was 15 years old when she underwent a partial male-to-female transition and fully transitioned at 17. She moved out of her parents' house and explored entrepreneurship opportunities at a very young age and has been a well-respected member of the ball community since young adulthood.

On the available evidence to date, this report has identified five key actions around the themes of social relationships, physical activity, awareness, learning, and giving. There is evidence supporting the effects on well-being and this is growing. Having strong social relationships, being physically active and being involved in learning are all important influencers of both well-being and ill-being. By contrast, the processes of giving and becoming more aware have been shown to specifically influence well-being in a positive way.
We support people with accessing a combination of all of these behaviours to help enhance individual well-being and maximise the potential to reduce the dependence on services in the longer term.
Mindapples encourages us all to take care of our mental health. Click here for more information about mindapples.


Awareness is the first step toward change. I was terrified in my first therapy session when I was told I had Binge Eating Disorder and Anxiety Disorder. It was scary to put a label on it. When I told my husband, he simply said "The only thing that has changed is that it has a name." And when you name something, the power quickly begins to dissipate. So, be brave. You have been all along.
In recovery, you will probably learn to follow a meal plan at first. The goal of mechanical eating is to create order out of chaos. Think of it as a short-term experiment to see what life would be like without the eating disorder. If you are asked to track your meals, realize that tracking is simply gathering data. Collect the data without judgement. Think of food as your medicine.
Choose the healthiest option that will not leave you feeling deprived.
If you have a craving, plan for it later. If you're going to have it, you want to practice mindfulness and enjoy it.
You want to feel better when you're done than when you started.
Nutritional information is only a tool, don't let it become a weapon.
Use all of the information you have to make your own decisions because no one knows you like you. You may say to yourself, "Some people think this is a healthier option. I have noticed that my body feels __________ when I eat this particular food, so I am going to make the best decision for me."
Exercise should not be a form of punishment for what you have eaten or a way to earn food. It should be movement for the joy of movement. Use your new found bravery to try new things. Find what you truly love and look forward to and do more of it.
You have the answers inside, you just have to be still.
It is absolutely essential that you tend to your mind, body and spirit. Downtime is where you nurture mind, body and spirit. It is essential to plan self-care in order to put yourself into a better mindset.
Meditation is the perfect way to quiet your mind. It allows you to follow your heart and listen to your inner wisdom. That wisdom or intuition has been there all along, you just haven't quieted your mind enough to listen to it. You will be amazed by the impact of a five minute meditation. I love to meditate in the morning. It helps me set an intention for the day and begin my day with a clear and quiet mind.
Journaling is as good as a conversation with a dear friend. Journal what you notice about yourself and learn from it. Make note of your emotions, your food choices and feelings about them. You will soon discover that you know more than you think you do!
Determine what brings you joy and go out and get it!
Part of recovery will be educating those around you. You may have to have some difficult conversations, but in the end you may shine a light on a new way of thinking for your friends and family. You will be your biggest advocate.
An important note here: When you start seeing things differently, do not expect others to see things differently also right away.
Just because you are doing everything right does not mean everything will go smoothly.

Zr. King Releases Their Single, "Welcome to Bearizona"
Brittany Sims March 28, 2019, 5:11 pm
New York City-based rock band, Zr. King, has released their high-adrenaline furry-but-dangerous, single, aptly titled "Welcome to Bearizona."
"Welcome to Bearizona" was released ahead of their upcoming sophomore album, "Musically and Morally Bankrupt," out May 17.
In an interview with PureGain Audio, the band described their single.
"'Welcome To Bearizona' starts with a riff that is relentless and unremitting, like the sailing stones of Death Valley. The song's protagonist is time itself, the great equalizer of humankind and all-around-badass. To us, it's the soundtrack to speeding through the Arizona desert in an El Camino with working air conditioning, after several pots of coffee. What better way to kick off a record than with a rocket-fueled riff that takes a left turn off a cliff?"
This new track marks a long-awaited return since their latest release in 2014.
Zr. King (Zombie Robot King) is comprised of Griffin Lotti-vocals & guitar, Brandon Lotti – bass & vocals, Matt Thompson- guitar & vocals, Medley Shabazz – drums and vocals.
King has left a big impression on the local scene, receiving support on BBox Radio, Radio Free Brooklyn, and playing at acclaimed venues in the Northeast. They will be celebrating the release on May 16, at Arlene's Grocery.
Stay up to date with the band on social media to find out where they will be next.

My advice to people interested in working for Nationwide is the company is not the same as it was when I was hired. It's now a call center & no office is located in Lynchburg. The job I had with the company is obsolete. You have options to work from home or go to the offices located in Ohio, Texas, Florida or Ohio.
The biggest mistake I made while working at Nationwide was being late for work and coming back from lunch late.

Sorry to hear about your situations Laverne and Shannon. I agree, more needs to be available for veterans and for middle class families who fall on hard times. Let your congressional representatives and senators know so they can start putting more funds towards the right kinds of programs. It is sad how we treat our veterans. We need more transparency in how tax dollars are being spent so that we can assure that funding is going to those in need. Hope God brings you some blessings this holiday season. Trust me, many of us are dealing with similar personal struggles, so hang in there.


«Biofiction» is a rare love story between many, an unexpected clearing on a wilderness that offers a close-up on human and non-human assemblages and their affects. Situated within an inquiry into vibrant matter, a choreographic poem emerges that is both careful and utterly libidinal.
Gathering the remains of the previous two works in «The Biofiction Trilogy», the hot pink flesh placeholder, wood and crafting tools, the rope that weaves, the natural and artificial entanglement of fluids and materials – «Biofiction» creates a new horizontal terrain that renders a plurality of agencies without ontological hierarchy. What may ordinarily be considered inadequate stimuli is now attended to for all its sensual and specific qualities, cultivating an irrational love of matter. The intimate rapport, the dance that spectrums acts of labour, pleasure, cohabitation and simply 'being with' refuses the normative divisions between nature and culture, male and female or any such binary.

Chapters 13-18 Summary and Analysis
In Chapter 13, science, psychology, and the intensity of the Leadville race began to show. Dr. Joe Vigil knew about running and the psychology of running and he was there at the race to see what he was missing. He wanted to know exactly what it was that made Ann and the Taramuhara stand out.
The Taramuhara made such a sensation with their running that many people didn't realize what Ann was quietly doing. If it had not been for the tribal runners, she would have been the first person to ever win the Leadville race. She was determined that this year would be different.
Joe had his eye on the Leadville race in particular because it was a race that didn't make sense. Older people did better than younger people, and half the men dropped out while most...

Bad Turn: Charlie Fox #13 (Charlie Fox Mystery Thriller Series)
Ex-Special Forces trainee turned bodyguard Charlotte 'Charlie' Fox is back in this, her 13th adventure.
"If Jack Reacher were a woman, he'd be Charlie Fox."—Lee Child
One bad turn…deserves another.
Charlie Fox has quit her job in close protection, been turned out of her apartment, and is apparently out of options.
House-sitting in rural New Jersey has to be the pits—TV and TV dinners. A far cry from Iraq... Bulgaria... Afghanistan. Unlucky or not, she happens to be around at the right time to foil a violent kidnap attempt on Helena, wife of billionaire arms dealer, Eric Kincaid.
Kincaid offers her a job looking after Helena. The rumours about Kincaid's business empire say he's gone over to the dark side, but Charlie is in no position to be fussy. And protecting people against those who want to do them harm is what she's good at. But when the threats against the Kincaids escalate, and then follow the couple over to Europe, Charlie's really going to have to up her game. It's time to take the fight to the enemy.
Charlie's at her best putting an end to trouble. Now she must learn to strike first. And hope that the Kincaids don't discover the secret she's been keeping from them, right from the start.
Praise for Zoe Sharp and Charlie Fox
"Ill-tempered, aggressive and borderline psychotic, Fox is also compassionate, introspective and highly principled: arguably one of the most enigmatic—and coolest—heroines in contemporary genre fiction." —Paul Goat Allen, Chicago Tribune
"Sharp deserves a genre all her own—if you are just discovering Zoë Sharp then you are in for a real treat."—Jon Jordan, Crimespree Magazine
"Charlotte (Charlie) Fox is one of the most vivid and engaging heroines ever to swagger onto the pages of a book. Where Charlie goes, thrills follow."—Tess Gerritsen
"Zoe Sharp is one of the sharpest, coolest, and most intriguing writers I know. She delivers dramatic, action-packed novels with characters we really care about."—Harlan Coben
"In a world where lots of people act cool, Zoe Sharp's books are cool. But ... they're not only cool. They're razor sharp, deeply felt, and heartbreakingly immediate. These are action thrillers about a woman who works as a bodyguard, frequently trying to protect women, and there's no cheapening the central issue of violence (often against women) as a means to an end. In fact, by wrapping this societal cancer in noirish, kickass, often funny thrillers, written in coolly polished prose, Sharp can take societal violence farther and hit it harder than many so-called literary writers. And do it in language that's almost poetic in its economy and impact. Sharp is one of the writers whose books I open with a bit of reluctance in case the new one isn't up to the earlier ones, because they're that good."—Timothy Hallinan
Reader reviews:
"What kept me enthralled was the evolution of this MacGuyver-resourceful, pit-bull tenacious, intensely loyal woman."
"Charlie Fox is absolutely my favorite female protagonist!"
"It's an elegantly crafted thriller, engaging and enticing and I could not recommend it more."
"This is a five-star book for sure."
"Zoe Sharp has done it again and turned out another stonking-good read."
"If you looked up 'page-turner' in the dictionary I would not be at all surprised to see a picture of the front cover of BAD TURN in lieu of a definition. If you like the Charlie Fox series, this is a must-read, but even if you've never read a Charlie Fox book before, this is still a must-read."
"I couldn't tear myself away. And am now sitting in a holding pattern for the next Charlie Fox book. Can't wait."
"Charlie Fox is back! I was hooked by the second page! The book is full of twists and turns that you never see coming. I was blown away from the big reveal at the end. You won't be able to put the book down. It is that good!"

Contemporary jeweller Ruiyin Lin has a rigourous approach. "Research, explore, materialise," she responds pointedly over an email interview.
"To State Property, glamourous jewellery is as important as the physical glamour of the jewellery piece," she adds. "Its design is extremely personal. Jewellery can reflect someone's story and personal style," explains the purposeful millennial.
To quote art historian Damian Skinner's Contemporary Jewelry in Perspective: The body moves in the public domain, and makers hope their work will piggyback on this mobility in order to engage with reality, be relevant, modern, activated.
Known to those she cares about as someone who tries her best in everything she does, Ruiyin believes that the simplest thing is the hardest to create.
"In school, we were trained to conceptualise, scrutinise, improve, and repeat. It's a practice I believe in, but I also think that, sometimes, I take this to the point where I end up over-complicating my work. I think, or at least hope, that this will get easier with practice and confidence," she ruminates.
First and foremost, Ruiyi establishes that State Property prides itself for consciously seeking the off key. Intentionally positioned as a luxury label, Ruiyin and her co-founder Afzal blurs the line between art and design. Through jewellery and objects, State Property consciously represents both the tangible and intangible – the implication of physicality in 'property', which contrasts with the abstractness of 'state of mind'.
To keep her creative engine humming, Ruiyin abides by a pragmatic ritual – research, read and share. "It is about expression and sharing what we've learnt," she says.
Most recently, State Property was part of RISING 50, a fashion initiative presented by Digital Fashion Week to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Singapore.
In honour of the celebration, State Property showcased a brand new collection called Udan Liris ("drizzling rain" in English). It was part of the contemporary jewellery brand's first foray into the Indonesian fashion industry.
While Ruiyin takes a moment to celebrate this new milestone, running a jewellery business in Singapore is no mean feat. From pricing, to range-planning and team management, building the business aspects was and still is State Property's biggest challenge.
"Being a fashion entrepreneur is about adaptation, determination and patience. We need to be flexible, understand our fast-paced industry, and constantly adjust to the changing demands of our business circumstances. My greatest worry is not being able to grow and learn with the people I love," says Ruiyin plainly.
On a typical day, the female go-getter starts by meeting with colleagues and checking in on everyone. After getting updated on what they are working on, the rest of the day transforms into a blur of meetings, logistics, housekeeping and discussions.
Nevertheless, Ruiyin is dedicated to her craft. She only ends her day after everyone leaves the office. She also makes sure to reply emails, get designs out and execute administrative work.
In an effort to design great jewellery that tells a story and reflects the identity of the wearer, Ruiyin unabashedly admits that her happy place is the library.
"When I develop new work, I constantly tell myself that my instinct is precious. Trust it. There is no right or wrong approach to designing. When you feel that you have something, don't overthink it. Define a flow and constantly refine the design process. Most importantly, I have to believe in that process and where it brings me to.

NTT DATA XAM and Alloyed Aim to Advance AM in Japanese Market
October 7, 2020 by Tarun Tampi 3D PrintingBusiness
NTT Data's XAM Technologies, a company founded in 2020 that supports a broad range of services in additive manufacturing (AM), has entered into a collaborative project along with Alloyed, the trading name of Oxmet Technologies Ltd of Oxford, UK, to build an an AM business in Japan. The two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by which XAM is the preferred manufacturer for components made using Alloyed's special alloys in Japan.

The Japanese company NTT DATA XAM Technologies just began business operations in July this year, and shortly after, had entered into a partnership with US-based nTopology for distribution of its software solutions and to develop next generation engineering tools. NTT DATA XAM is looking to reach a business scale of ¥10 billion yen by 2025, and will be relying on international alliances to achieve this. It has already partnered with EOS for sales and support of their 3D printers in Japan. nTopology had also partnered with Yamaichi Special Steel to provide its software solutions in Japan's automotive industry.
Hitoshi Sakai, CTO of NTT DATA XAM TECHNOLOGIES, said "OxMet Technologies and Betatype are leading European companies in the area of advanced material and advanced engineering for the Additive Manufacturing field and we are truly honored to be able to establish collaboration with Alloyed including these two leading edge companies while the expectations for additive manufacturing are getting higher in Japan.
"Although AM remains developing technology, we are expecting that the joint and collaborative application of the competitive advantages of each company– Material knowledge, Process know-how, Engineering skill – can create a new era of applications which fulfill the maximum potential of additive manufacturing. With continuous launch of leading edge applications for additive manufacturing as the core business, we will devote our best efforts toward the improvement and further spread of AM technologies to the extent that AM becomes established manufacturing process."
NTT DATA XAM Technologies' broad range of offerings include machine sales, technical support, consulting relating to AM, application development for AM, material development, contract manufacturing of AM parts, and more.
Michael Holmes, CEO of Alloyed, said "We have been seeking a dynamic partner with broad market access with whom we could collaborate in Japan, and NDES has the ideal attributes: an ambitious management team with strong corporate backing, extensive experience in additive manufacture, a range of industrial customers, and strong connections in many of the industries in which we think additive manufacturing has revolutionary potential. Together, we hope we can fulfill the potential of additive manufacture to bring game-changing performance enhancements, more responsive supply chains, huge potential for customisation, and rapid product development to a range of 21st century industries."
Alloyed had already been connected with the Japanese market. In the beginning of this year, Alloyed completed a £10.7m (¥1.4bn) equity funding round, in which JX Mining and Metals of Japan was a major investor. In April, the company had opened an office in Tokyo, Japan to serve its existing customers there and expand into the Japanese market. The Alloyed group of companies include Oxmet (with its metallurgical expertise and award-winning Alloy by Design, ABD, software platform), Betatype (with its design optimisation and process control expertise) and Alloyed's digital manufacturing and production solutions. In July this year, the company released the first high-performance aluminium superalloy, ABD-900 AM for crack-free additive manufacturing, increasing part life, withstanding temperatures where materials such as Inconel 718 are no longer viable. The advanced materials company also won Institute of Physics Business Startup award for 2020, for the work done to develop the ABD platform.

The 900 in the name of the superalloy is for the 900°C working temperature the material is capable of withstanding. The alloy was formulated using the ABD platform, which uses data and advanced physical models to design, simulate and optimize new alloy solutions, or improve existing ones for specific applications. In September this year, the company partnered with Germany-based Taniobis, a specialist in tantalum and niobium metal powders for AM and owned by JX Mining and Metals, to develop high quality titanium and refractory alloys for AM applications.

Canucks Post Game: The Hainsey hit fallout, the captain's concern, the high-stick review
Updated: December 13, 2016 8:54 PM PST
RALEIGH, N.C. — Points to ponder after a stunning third-period collapse by the Canucks in a shocking 8-6 loss to the Hurricanes, a targeted hit by Ron Hainsey on Loui Eriksson and a stunning summation by Henrik Sedin about where this team is and where it needs to go:
HOW CAN HAINSEY ESCAPE SUSPENSION?
That's what the Canucks want to know.
The National Hockey League has eliminated blindside hits from its rulebook, but the targeted sideboards blow that Ron Hainsey delivered on Loui Eriksson in the first period — and with the 'Canes up 2-1 — was bad in every conceivable way. And no penalty was called on the play.
When Luca Sbisa responded to the hit on Loui Eriksson, the Canucks responded with goals.
Hainsey left his feet and targeted the head. It was obvious and crystal clear on the replay. Luca Sbisa took the defenceman on and the two received five-minute fighting majors. That was it. Not even a charging minor to Hainsey.
It really makes you wonder when you keep hearing that the Canucks can't catch a break from league officials.
"It has happened before and it's going to happen again," said Henrik Sedin. "But I'm sure the league is going to take a look at it and we'll see if they come up with something this time."
Don't hold your breath. There should be some level of supplemental discipline because the Department of Player Safety keeps banging the drum about eliminating hits to the head.
"The best way I can put it is that I have a ton of respect for the refs and linesmen in this league," said Erik Gubranson, who was given a cheesy charging minor in the first period. "It's an extremely difficult job and you get fired about something in the middle of a game and nine times out of 10 they (refs) get it right.
"I do think the hit was a little high and there's some consistency that should happen. If you're going to call me then call the other one. I love what Sbisa did. He did a heck of a job and we responded to that hit."
The Canucks scored three second-period goals in 4:36. And when Sven Baertschi added his second goal just as a power play expired, it was 5-2 and it looked over. The winger had three points and six shots and the Canucks outshot the Hurricanes 18-9 in the second period. Only a meltdown would put a damper on everything.
"We did some really good things tonight and when you score six goals, you should win," summed up Gudbranson.
WHERE DOES THE CAPTAIN GO FROM HERE?
Here's what you need to know about the Sedins.
When the Canucks lose, they take the heat. When the Canucks win, they allow their teammates to answer more positive queries. Henrik and Daniel answer the tough questions as best they can — especially Henrik, who has to maintain some level of balance as the captain — but it's getting tiresome.
"It's all about how we respond Friday, (against Tampa)," said the centre. "The way we come out is going to say a lot about this team. That (Tuesday's game) is a game we've got to win. We turned pucks over in bad spots and it cost us.
Henrik Sedin has good reason to wonder how the Canucks will respond Friday against Tampa.
"I've seen this before and it's not the first time, but it's surprising the way we played. Up three goals in this league, that (win) should be the case. They got that one early in the third and they had a lot of momentum and it's tough to get it back.
"We did some really good things. The way Sven played and Sbisa battled and Ben Hutton played better. But it's easy to forget those things when we lose a game like this."
DESJARDINS EVEN LOSES TIME-OUT
At one point in the bizarre third period, it looks like Willie Desjardins might be able to stem the tide.
The Canucks coach looked like he challenged the 'Canes' fourth goal — a point floater by Hainsey that Desjardins thought may have hit a high stick — but lost the plea and his time-out. He could have used one 24 seconds later when Victor Rask scored after Gudbranson had lost the puck to start a tic-tac-toe goal sequence.
"It wasn't a challenge, it was a call on the ice," reasoned Desjardins about the review. "I thought when the shot came in it was going over the net, so I thought there was a chance it was going to be a high stick. I thought the puck was going over the net."
And when Jeff Skinner opened the fateful third period with a re-direct, power-play effort, it looked like the Canucks were rattled.
"I don't know if we got rattled — they've got a pretty good power play," Desjardins said of the league's ninth-ranked unit. "But you don't want to give up that early one to get them going and excited. Miller played fine. I didn't take him out because he was at fault for the goals — it was more to let our guys know what we were doing wasn't good enough."

I recently heard this and thought it was really cool.
These two are really good.
Was wondering if anyone else 'round these parts likes rap.
Re: Anybody here like rap?
Oooops no need for me to answer that !!
Lol, Rap, some of these rap guys wear crosses so big and pure gold, makes the Popes cross look like a piece of junk. Rap is not music, its religion.
I used to like rap about 15 years ago. . . still listen to it once in awhile. My brother is a rapper and his debut album will be released next month.
Indeed. I've learned so much from the people all around me, and continue to do so with every new person I meet. Little things, big things, good and bad. I'm learning to appreciate the uniqueness of everybody.
Rap is not music, its religion.
That's quite the statement you've got there. At least you got the "some" right.
Interesting Extol. Is your brother good? What's his name?
I like some rap. I appreciate the poetry and the skill required to get right. But I'm not a fan of much of it because of the vulgar lyrics.
I like this and consider it lite rap.
I hear it's a great way to make money in the music industry, without having to make music!! But what do I know?? I'm a hard rock type of guy.
Hey Rhys when are you coming to Sydney ??
Do you have any friends (apart from me or family here ??
Yes I like rap. Tupac, Biggie, Eminem, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and many others.
Adding Dr.. Dre to G. Driggs' list.
Loc I'll send you a message.
I'm old school, 50's, 60's, Korean Police Action etc.
I was always told that profanity was the evidence of a weak mind trying to act forcefully.
I listened to your suggested Rap offering and did appreciate it. I think I will share with some friends of this generation.
Just goes to show that it can be done with class.
I like a lot of rap, but I've always considered vocals to be part of the rhythm section. Phrasing is an often overlooked skill in all types of music. Don't ask me who they are, however...just as I don't know who does what in any of the new music I hear these days.
I don't like it because I can't do it. Plus, I'd look kinda out of place in the audience at a live show. Their loss.
That's a pretty nice one Dennis.
lol Dave, I can totally see you at a show. Your presence would make the show better IMO.
I think it would too, Loc. Nothing makes a show better than an old guy poking people, saying, "Eh? What's that he said?"
I would have loved having my grandfather doing that at a Bob Dylan show.


groovy playing, no doubt...but that 'one window, lonely guy in the corner' thing makes me feel kinda sad.
You have a great tone there!

Q: Exposing 3rd party library through own library? I have the following dependency structure:
ProjectA -> ProjectB -> Dapper
I want to allow ProjectA to have access to Dapper's functionalities. Is it possible to do it with ProjectB "exposing Dapper" to ProjectA, instead of independently adding Dapper to ProjectA via nuget?

A: You can either wrap what you need and expose your own abstractions, so that project a does not even need to know that dapper exists, or just reference the package in both libraries.
If you're not trying to achieve anything in particular, like abstraction of the specific implementation, just reference it from both.

Well-Safe Solutions secures contract for North Sea decommissioning project
From left - Bogi Vang, Deputy Country Manager UK & Senior Financial Adviser at DNO North Sea and Phil Milton, CEO at Well-Safe Solutions
Well-Safe Solutions has been awarded a major contract to decommission up to twenty-one wells on the Schooner and Ketch fields in the UKCS, operated by DNO North Sea (ROGB) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of DNO ASA.
The Schooner and Ketch fields, located in the UK Southern North Sea, ceased production in August 2018, with 20 platform wells and a single subsea well. The project will start immediately with a plan to commence offshore operations at the end of 2019. The campaign is expected to last approximately two years.
In Oil and Gas UK's 2018 Decommissioning Insight report, the cost of decommissioning a subsea well in the southern North Sea is around £5.35 million, compared to £1.7m for a platform well.
Phil Milton, chief executive at Well-Safe Solutions said: "This is a fantastic achievement for Well-Safe, allowing us to build a continuous programme of work through campaign-based approach and realising the associated benefits."
Well-Safe will be responsible for the delivery of key aspects of the project including engineering, contractor management and logistics with DNO retaining well operatorship.

Q: How to prove that two lines don't intersect I have two lines below here:
Line 1:
$$(x,y,z)=(0,1,0)^T+s(1,-1,2)^T$$
Line 2:
$$(x,y,z)=(-1,1,1)^T+t(2,-3,2)^T$$
How can I prove that these lines don't intersect each other I am very confused because these vector is S and T?

A: Suppose that they did intersect. Then $(0,1,0)^T+s(1,-1,2)^T=(-1,1,1)^T+t(2,-3,2)^T$ for some real $s,t$, giving:
$$\begin{align}&s = 2t - 1\tag 1\\&1-s=1-3t\tag 2\\&2s=1+2t\tag 3\\&\implies4t-2=1+2t\implies t=3/2,\text{ from 1 and 3.}\\&\implies s=2\text{ from equation 1 } \implies s=9/2\text{ from equation 2}\end{align}$$
This is a contradiction. It is impossible for the lines to intersect, as no values of $s,t$ exist such that the vectors meet.
I retrieved the equations by adding the LHS and RHS of the vector equation element by element, and since these vectors have three elements, I have three equations, one for each $x$, $y$, $z$ coordinate.

Home » Lifestyle » Which Dream Book Is the Most Suitable for You?
October 3, 2022 • By Felicia Wilson
From Divine Providence to Free Association
Which Dream Book to Choose?
Dream Book: Trust, but Verify
Everyone has probably seen a dream at least once and tried to interpret it. The easiest way to find out what this or that image means is to look in the dream book, where the most famous dreams are collected in alphabetical or thematic order. It is up to you whether to believe the information you receive or treat the interpretation as fun. If you decide to sort out how a dream might affect your life, you should first understand how dream dictionaries' compilers interpret night visions and which one might be the most suitable for you.
For centuries, people have been trying to unravel the meaning of dreams and how they might relate to real life. Usually, this was not the work of mere mortals but people with talent or special powers. Let's consider the most popular dream encyclopedias that can become your guides to the world of the subconscious.
Assyrian dream book
One of the oldest existing compilations of dreams is an Assyrian one written in cuneiform on clay tablets. In Ancient Assyria (Mesopotamia), dreams were significant because people believed that through visions, deities communicated with them, sent them hints on how to act, etc. Austrian-American assyriologist A. Oppenheim translated it. The original is kept in the British Museum.
"Oneirokritika"
"Oneirokritika" is an ancient Greek treatise on dream interpretation written by Artemidorus in the 2nd century AD. The author distinguished ordinary dreams, which tell about the present, and prophetic, allegorical ones. The work is valuable because its author was the first to apply an individual approach. Artemidorus paid attention to the sex, age, status, and profession of the dreamer and interpreted the dream depending on these factors. For example, a wealthy man who dreamed of a green valley might expect an increase in power; a poor man who had the same dream could hope for the birth of a helper son.
Nostradamus' dream book
Most academic sources deny that Nostradamus had supernatural prophetic powers. The predictions of Nostradamus, created in the 15th century, are so vague and imprecise that they can be applied to almost any event. Despite this, the interpretation of the French soothsayer still attracts followers of mystery worldwide, especially those who know how to listen to their intuition. Nostradamus insisted that dreams have a vector character: They originate in the distant past and go into the distant future. By interpreting dreams according to this book, you can learn about changes in personal life and future global political and social phenomena.
Vanga's dream book
This book is based on interpretations using the gift of prophecy. Vanga was born in 1911 and predicted many events of the 20th century. She said she had received the information from invisible beings, particularly in dreams. Like Nostradamus, the blind Bulgarian seer interpreted what she saw not only in the context of a person's private life but also predicted events on a planetary scale. The meanings of dreams based on Vanga's revelations might describe the current or future course of events and predict the fate of a person, country, or even the world.
Freud's dream book
Unlike his predecessors, the Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud considered dreams not from a mystical but a scientific point of view. He was sure that all our dreams are not random but are a reflection of our subconscious sexual desires, hidden fantasies, and memories from childhood. In 1900, he published the work "The Interpretation of Dreams," based on which, a dream dictionary was compiled later. Due to the vivid sexual nature of the interpretations, it is often called an erotic dream book. However, Freud would hardly have agreed with such a definition. In his opinion, the interpretation of dreams can become the key to understanding the human psyche. Although today the scientist's approach causes many discussions, this book remains relevant. (1)
Miller's dream book
Written in 1901, Miller's dream dictionary has survived dozens of editions and is considered a classic in its genre. American psychologist and entrepreneur Gustav Hindman Miller used a universal approach and created the complete collection of dreams. In his opinion, dreams are clues that the subconscious mind sends to a person with the help of associations. By analyzing a set of objects and symbols seen in a dream, one might predict events in their life. Many of Miller's interpretations are outdated, but there are modern versions of the dream encyclopedia that are adapted to today's realities. Miller's work can be compared to a good adviser who tries to suggest the right decisions in various life situations.
Today, dozens of dream dictionaries use different approaches to sleep interpretation. According to Freud, the best dream book is a personal one, based on individual observations. After all, each of us has our associations with certain things.
If you didn't have the opportunity to compile your compilation of dreams, you might try to decipher your night visions with the aid of available guides. At the same time, it would be helpful to correlate your socio-cultural and geographical context with the author's background. Our perception of the world is connected with our environment. For example, an Orthodox dream book is more suitable for an Orthodox person, and a Muslim one rather fits a Muslim. After all, for a Muslim, a dream about a dinner with pork might mean sin, and for an Orthodox—prosperity. (2)
You might choose the most suitable dream dictionary depending on your preferences and faith in this or that interpretation of dreams. It might be a book based on ancient allegories, such as the Assyrian one, or a Freud's one that emphasizes the sexual connotations of night visions. The meaning will not always predict what you want to hear, but this is not a reason to worry about. After all, the prophecies don't always come true, so you should not trust any dream book a hundred percent.

Reality Check: Can you answer these questions?
Who holds the majority of US government debt?
What percentage of products consumed in the US are produced in the US?
What percentage of products consumed in the US are produced in China?
All correct answers are c).
China holds about 7.5% of US debt. Most U.S. debt is held by US institutions and individuals. US makes most of what it consumes. US dependence on China is small.
The US economy will survive in spite of Obama, the Democrats, global warming believers, environmental wackos, a bunch of stupid voters, and those who live off the government.
We will survive and prosper because we have enough smart people who will develop our abundant gas and oil resources, create more efficient manufacturing, and produce valuable new products.
America will become a net exporter of energy and begin to pay off our debt. American manufacturing will make a comeback because of new, cheap energy (not wind energy). Labor cost is second to energy cost in modern manufacturing.
Still, while our economy will do fine, our freedom will suffer because of the stupid people who did not vote for Romney and other Republicans while they had the opportunity. Obama will use his opportunity to turn America into a socialist country.
Australia will profit significantly from its Arckaringa Basin oil reserves estimated to be worth $20 trillion. The energy resource finds in America and Australia will help America dominate the future world economy. China will buy Australian oil and will continue to grow. Europe is pretty much toast.


The quality of the Christian's giving.
The text is filled with descriptions of the qualities of the Christian's giving. We first see that the Christian is to be ready to give.
2a-c for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year.
Paul commends the Corinthian believers that they were ready to give, eager to give, that he did not have to manipulate or cajole them into giving. It is a picture of a person poised to move. It is the opposite of a picture of a person having to be pulled begrudgingly into service. Are you ready to give?
And the Corinthians were zealous to give.
2d And your zeal has stirred up most of them.
Zeal refers to "an intense and earnest effort to reach a goal." Again, such believers do not need to be shamed into giving. What is more, they are willing to give.
I was uncomfortable then…and I am uncomfortable now repeating it! What strikes me about that approach to getting people to give is how short-sighted it is. You do not get people to give by magnifying our sinfulness. You get people to give by magnifying God's grace and God's giving nature! To lead Christians to give well you do not need a heightened sense of guilt, you need a heightened sense of awe! The goal is not to get our determination bigger. The goal is to get the cross bigger in our lives, for the cross cannot help but stir us to giving. It is the cross, and Christ's giving of Himself on it for us, that breaks our sense of stinginess and greed, that drives avarice from the temple, and that leads us to repentance and giving!
Paul further commended giving that was free and cheerful.
The verb proaireomat, found only here in the New Testament, means "to choose deliberately" or "to make up one's own mind about something." It is a well-known fact that telethons that play on people's emotions to solicit contributions often end up with donors who pledge impulsively but not deliberately enough to follow through on their pledge. Paul says that giving is to be based on a calculated decision. It is not a matter to be settled lightly or impulsively.
I believe that Paul's emphasis on free and deliberate giving helps us understand the New Testament approach to the tithe as well. Many speak of the tithe as a binding law. Indeed, the tithe was called for in the Old Testament and is, I would say, a good and grounded guide to help us in our giving today. But the New Testament church does not seem to have ever used it as a law the way that many people do today. In truth, I would argue that the problem with having a legislated tithe in the local church is not that it asks too much but rather that it asks too little. If God's people before the cross gave the tithe out of a sense of obligation and duty, how much more should God's people on this side of the cross and in light of the giving of Christ on the cross give out of a sense of joy and gratitude? To reduce giving to (1) a duty and (2) a tithe without leaving room for cross-focused, cheerful, and free giving is to set the bar too low! Those who have become captivated by Christ crucified are people who are willing to give all that they have!
Do not give because it is a law! Give because it is a pleasure! Joyful giving does not arise out of compulsion but out of gratitude.
Thus, giving is to be deliberate and it is to be cheerful. The word "cheerful" comes from the Greek hilaron which refers to "joyful eagerness…amiable grace…affability." Some extreme Pentecostal groups have seized on this image to promote the idea that giving should be accompanied by fits of hysteria: uncontrollable laughter, for instance, or fits of giggling. This is most certainly not what the text means. It means exuberant joy, cheerfulness, and happiness.
Although Paul's comments here and in 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 concern a special collection for the poor in Jerusalem, they also have important implications for the modern practice of tithing, giving from our income to support the ministry of the church. (1) Our giving should be regular: "On the first day of every week…set aside a sum of money" (1 Cor. 16:2). (2) It should be proportionate: "in keeping with one's income" (1 Cor. 16:2); "according to your means" (2 Cor. 8:11). (3) It should be generous: "Whoever sows generously will reap generously" (2 Cor. 9:6). (4) Finally, it should be done joyfully: "not reluctantly…for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Cor. 9:7-8). As in all things, our model is Jesus: "Though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor" (8:9).
This is what Christian giving looks like.
The fruit of the Christian's giving.
2 Corinthians 9 is also filled with examples of the fruit of Christian giving.
Paul writes that when we give, others are encouraged to give.
Linda Belleville notes that the Greek word for "stirred up" normally means "'to provoke,' 'irritate' or 'rouse to anger'" but that "[h]ere it is used in the positive sense of rousing to action by means of an encouraging example." The news of the Corinthians' generosity had already stirred the Macedonians to great generosity. So, too, does all Christian giving. Those who see it are inspired by it. Think of the true acts of generosity you have seen in your life. Did those acts not inspire you to likewise be generous?
Similarly, a bad example in giving can cause others to be downcast, as Paul reveals when he says what the effects of the Corinthians not giving generously would be.
4 Otherwise, if some Macedonians come with me and find that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—for being so confident.
Therefore, we can build others up or pull others down by our giving or lack of doing so.
What is more, the blessings of God fall upon us when we give. Paul presents a saying that was apparently well known in the ancient world. At the least, the principle was.
Any farmer knows this! Would you like a large harvest? Then sow generously and in abundance! Would you like a small yield? Then be stingy with your seeds. The great danger at this point is that there are those within the church who take a verse like 2 Corinthians 9:6 to mean that there is a mechanistic aspect to giving, the end of which is your own financial betterment! This, of course, is profoundly wrongheaded. This is a principle, and a generally true one, but not a mechanistic one. It is possible that one might give and then lose what one has left. It is possible that one might do good and then have all manner of misfortune fall upon you. There is an entire book of the Bible, Job, that wrestles with this reality.
This is a law of nature which applies in every experience of life. One who scatters but a little seed reaps but a small harvest, while generous sowing prepares for a harvest of abundant fruitage. Charity is thus not a casting away, but a sowing…Of course charity cannot be commercial. It ceases to be charity when exercised with a view to a reward…It is usually in accordance with God's providential plan to increase the resources of the cheerful giver.
7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written, "He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." 10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
Do you see? The blessing is that "all grace abound[s] to you." The blessing is your increased capacity to receive the knowledge of who God is in Christ Jesus and how He has blessed you! The blessing is that "you may abound in every good work!" The blessing, whatever else God may choose for it to be, is that you get the privilege of serving the risen King!
We are equipped to be more generous.
Also, when we give we are equipped to be even more generous.
11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
Stinginess begets more stinginess. Generosity begets more generosity. Give and God will show you how to give more! Be a blessing and God will make you a greater blessing!
The church will be moved to greater worship and praise!
12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. 13 By their approval of this service, they will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others, 14 while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. 15 Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
Generous giving enables and stirs the church to give thanks! Generous giving enables and stirs the church to give glory to God! Generous giving enables the gospel to advance in the world! Generous giving magnifies "the surpassing grace of God." And generous giving magnifies the generous gift that has been given for us, the "inexpressible gift" of Jesus Christ!
Give, church, to the glory of God!

Austin, TX – July 9, 2018 – GSD&M announced today the launch of its Strategy Studio, a diverse community of generalist marketing strategists and decision sciences specialists. By bringing a broader range of strategic disciplines together in a nimble, collaborative model, the agency will be able to provide deeper insights and deliver a uniquely comprehensive level of strategic leadership to each of its clients.
Meeting brands' increasing demand for real strategic leadership from their creative agencies, the Strategy Studio approach is currently being implemented across GSD&M's roster of clients. Core capabilities range from traditional brand planning, to communications, social, audience and experience strategy, decision sciences and analytics, and advertising technology.
A series of leadership developments for Strategy Studio include an expanded role for VP/Group Strategy Director Jim Firestone, who is now responsible for building out capabilities and ways of working while managing the Studio community; Janice Suter as VP/Social Media, reinforcing the centrality of GSD&M's strategic social media practice; and Shannon Jensen, formerly Media Director, who will now serve as Director of Advertising Technology.
Another piece of this evolution includes the return of Mikael Greenlief as Director of Communication Strategy, and the promotion of David Zwickerhill to Director of Analytics.
As the newly appointed Director of Communications Strategy, Mikael Greenlief will be responsible for leading communications planning and strategy for GSD&M's clients. Mikael will help clients navigate today's fragmented and complex dynamics between consumers, media and content. Mikael is a firm believer in architecting the entire consumer experience and purposefully considering every encounter a consumer has with a brand. He will lead efforts that produce the media and creative for the right types of behaviors to occur by integrating with brand strategy, creative, media and analytics, as well as social strategy in partnership with VP of Social Media, Janice Suter. A GSD&M boomerang, having previously worked at the agency from 2012-2014, Mikael has since held roles at Carat USA where he was the Head of Global Strategy on Adidas and at Giant Spoon leading Communications Strategy on Old Navy, LEGO, Amazon Studio and others.
As Director of Analytics, David Zwickerhill will be responsible for leading analytics-based decision sciences specialists within GSD&M's Strategy Studio, working closely with Director of Advertising Technology, Shannon Jensen. David has been instrumental in building GSD&M's data and analytics practice over the past few years, working across clients like the United States Air Force, Southwest Airlines and others. He is the brains behind the Air Force martech stack that places the brand at the leading edge of all marketers and drives virtually everything the agency creates for the brand. In addition, David played a critical role in the redesign of AirForce.com helping create an intuitive, personalized platform to recruit digital natives – a solution that has generated record results and been recognized with a Silver Cannes Lion in Digital Craft. Prior to joining GSD&M in 2015, David held roles at Seer Interactive and WEX Inc. working across analytics, SEO strategy, content strategy and distribution, customer engagement and lead generation.
The development of the Strategy Studio is additional proof of an already strong 2018 for GSD&M. The agency launched its most ambitious work to date: "A Man Like You," a 3-minute short film for Harry's redefining modern masculinity, which won a Bronze Glass Lion for Change and Bronze Film Lion at the 2018 Cannes Lions Festival. GSD&M has grown its client business rapidly in 2018, adding iconic brands like Jack Link's and Pizza Hut to its client roster, and retaining a $741 million contract with the United States Air Force.
