text:
Marcus 16 is het laatste hoofdstuk van het Evangelie volgens Marcus in het Nieuwe Testament in de Bijbel. Veel geleerden gaan ervan uit dat de laatste twaalf verzen oorspronkelijk niet tot het Evangelie behoorden.

Inhoud van het hoofdstuk
Het begint met de ontdekking van het lege graf door Maria Magdalena, Maria (de moeder van Jakobus) en Salome. Zij ontmoetten daar een man in witte kleding die de opstanding van Jezus bekendmaakte. Vers 8 eindigt ermee dat de vrouwen van het lege graf wegvluchtten en niemand iets zeiden, omdat ze bang waren.

Veel geleerden zijn van mening dat 16:8 het oorspronkelijk einde is en geloven dat het langere einde, vers 9-20, later is geschreven door iemand die de verschijningen na de opstanding en enkele door christenen verrichte wonderen wilde vermelden. In deze passage van twaalf verzen vertelt de schrijver dat Jezus verschenen is aan Maria Magdalena, aan twee discipelen en vervolgens aan de elf (de twaalf apostelen zonder Judas Iskariot). De tekst sluit af met de Grote Opdracht, en verklaart dat gelovigen die zich hebben laten dopen, gered zullen worden, terwijl ongelovigen veroordeeld worden, en eindigt met het beeld van Christus zittende op Hemelvaartsdag aan de rechterhand van de Vader.

Tekstkritiek
De meeste deskundigen op dit terrein nemen de conclusies van dé tekstkritiek-kundige Bruce Metzger over, die het gezichtspunt heeft dat de verzen 9 tot 20 oorspronkelijk geen deel uitmaakten van de tekst.

Tekstcritici hebben twee eindes geïdentificeerd, een "lang" (16:9-20) en een "kort"; die worden tezamen gevonden in zes Griekse Bijbelse handschriften en in tientallen Ethiopische afschriften. Het korte einde luidt (enkele varianten daargelaten) als volgt:
'Alles wat hun opgedragen was, meldden zij in het kort aan de kring rond Petrus. Daarna stuurde Jezus zelf zijn leerlingen eropuit om van het oosten tot het westen de heilige en onvergankelijke boodschap van de eeuwige verlossing te verkondigen. Amen.' (NBV)

In één Latijns handschrift uit ongeveer 430 vinden we het "korte einde" zonder het lange. In dit Latijnse afschrift, de "Codex Bobbiensis", "k", wijkt de tekst van Marcus 16 op meer plaatsen af; tussen 16:3 en 16:4 vinden we een inlassing die daar Christus' hemelvaart blijkt te bespreken, het laat het laatste gedeelte van 16:8 weg, en bevat merkwaardige fouten in zijn weergave van het "korte einde". Andere onregelmatigheden in de "Codex Bobbiensis" doen vermoeden dat het vervaardigd is door een (over)schrijver, die niet vertrouwd was met het materiaal dat hij kopieerde.

Omdat de geschriften van de kerkvaders vanaf het laatste gedeelte van de tweede eeuw wijzen op het bestaan van handschriften van Marcus met het "lange einde", dateert men dit meestal vroeg in de tweede eeuw. De deskundigen zijn er verdeeld over of het "lange einde" geschreven is voor het evangelie, of dat het een zelfstandige tekst was, die geplakt werd op het zo abrupte einde van het evangelie. Het gegeven dat het de verhaallijn aan het slot van 16:8 niet soepel oppakt, doet het laatste vermoeden. De geleerden zijn het er niet over eens of het Evangelie volgens Marcus oorspronkelijk stopte bij 16:8 - en zo ja, of dat met opzet was - of dat hij oorspronkelijk een ander slot heeft geschreven, dat verloren is gegaan. De zinspelingen op een toekomstig samenzijn in Galilea van Jezus met zijn discipelen (in Marcus 14:28 en 16:7) suggereert dat Marcus de bedoeling had om verder te schrijven dan het huidige slot.

Bijbels
Het Concilie van Trente accepteerde Marcus 16:9-20 als canoniek. Het gedeelte maakt ook deel uit van de Statenvertaling en andere invloedrijke vertalingen.
In de NBG-vertaling van 1951 vinden we het lange einde tussen vierkante haken. De Groot Nieuws Bijbel geeft eerst het lange einde en daarna het korte, beide tussen vierkante haken.
De Willibrordvertaling uit 1995 geeft het lange einde.
De Nieuwe Bijbelvertaling uit 2004 geeft het lange einde in de tekst en het korte in een voetnoot.
De 28e editie van Nestle-Alands Griekse Nieuwe Testament geeft eerst het korte einde en daarna het lange.

Het lege graf

Marcus vertelt dat zodra de Sabbat voorbij is, Maria Magdalena, Maria, de moeder van Jacobus, en Salome, komen om het lichaam van Jezus te zalven. Lucas zegt in 24:1 hetzelfde. Matteüs en Johannes zeggen dat Nicodemus het lichaam al gezalfd had en dat Maria naar het graf ging en niet waarom. Als het gezelschap arriveert, is de steen al weg en gaan ze naar binnen; Jezus' lichaam is er niet, een man met witte kleren zegt ze dat Jezus daar niet is, maar hen in Galilea zal ontmoeten (Marcus 16:6-7). Volgens Lucas waren er twee mannen. Johannes zegt dat er twee engelen waren, maar dat Maria hen pas ontmoette nadat ze zag dat het graf leeg was en dat aan de andere discipelen liet zien. Marcus gebruikt het woord neaniskos voor jonge man, datzelfde woord gebruikt hij voor de man die wegvluchtte toen Jezus gearresteerd werd.

Marcus gebruikt het woord ēgerthē — vertaald "hij is opgewekt," om aan te geven dat God Jezus deed opstaan uit de doden. De vrouwen zijn bang, ze vluchten en houden het voor zich, wat ze gezien hebben. Vrees is in de Bijbel de gebruikelijke reactie op Gods aanwezigheid.
Hier eindigt het onomstreden deel van het evangelie volgens Marcus. Er wordt verkondigd dat Jezus is opgestaan en naar Galilea is gegaan.

Marcus 16:9–20 in citaten van de kerkvaders
Het vroegste bewijs voor het bestaan van Marcus 16:9-20 als onderdeel van het Evangelie volgens Marcus is de eerste apologie (verdedigingsrede) van Justinus de Martelaar (ca. 160). In een passage waarin Justinus Psalm 110 beschrijft als een Messiaanse profetie, verklaart hij dat Psalm 110:3 vervuld werd toen de discipelen, vanuit Jeruzalem, overal preekten. Hij gebruikt daarbij de woordkeuze van Marcus 16:20 en dat komt overeen met het gebruik dat Justinus maakt van een harmonisatie van de Synoptische evangeliën waarin Marcus 16:20 wordt verweven met Lucas 24:53. Justinus leerling Tatianus (ca. 172) nam het lange slot op in zijn Diatessaron, waarin hij alle vier de canonieke Evangeliën tot een geheel samenweeft. Irenaeus (ca. 184), citeert in zijn boek Adversus Haereses 3:10 (Tegen de ketterijen); Marcus 16:19, en zegt daarbij dat hij citeert uit het slotgedeelte van het verslag van Marcus. Dit bewijs van de kerkvaders is meer dan een eeuw ouder dan het oudste handschrift van Marcus 16. In de derde eeuw maken schrijvers als Hippolytus, Porphyrius en de anonieme schrijver van De Rebaptismate eveneens gebruik van het "lange slot".
Sommigen, onder wie Metzger, zeggen dat niet blijkt dat Clemens van Alexandrië en Origenes deze verzen hebben gekend. Clemens citeert in zijn hoofdwerk echter maar ongeveer 25 verzen uit Marcus, terwijl Origenes, ondanks dat er nog veel werk van hem bewaard is gebleven, dertig passages met 12 verzen uit Marcus niet citeert. Zo'n toevallig niet citeren zegt niet zo veel.

Handschriften
Papyrus 45 is weliswaar het oudste nog bestaande handschrift met tekst van Marcus, maar hoofdstuk 16 is zwaar beschadigd en heeft geen leesbare tekst meer.
De laatste twaalf verzen, 16:9-20, ontbreken in twee 4e-eeuwse handschriften, de Codex Vaticanus en de Codex Sinaiticus; dit zijn de oudste handschriften met het gehele boek Marcus.
Codex Vaticanus heeft een lege kolom na het einde van 16:8 en plaatst kata Markon, "volgens Marcus." Er zijn nog drie andere blanco kolommen in de Vaticanus, alle in het Oude Testament, maar dat lijkt het gevolg van toevalligheden bij de vervaardiging van de codex – verandering van grootte van de kolommen, andere overschrijvers, en de witte bladzijde tussen Oude en Nieuwe Testament.
Ze zijn alle drie het gevolg van toevallige omstandigheden, maar die witte ruimte tussen Marcus 16 en Lucas 1 is opzettelijk geplaatst.
Er is wel geopperd dat een voorloper van de Codex Vaticanus ooit de westerse volgorde van de Evangeliën had (Matteüs, Johannes, Lucas, Marcus), maar dat verduidelijkt niet, waarom een kopiërende schrijver opnieuw zo'n witte plek open zou laten als het niet meer functioneel is.
De Codex Sinaiticus eindigt met 16:8 en euangelion kata Markon, (evangelie volgens Marcus).
De hoofdstukken van Marcus 14:54 tot aan Lucas 1:56 zijn door een andere kopiist geschreven. Tot aan 15:19 worden de letters dicht op elkaar geschreven; daarna worden de letters uitgerekt, om te vermijden dat er een lege plek ontstaat.
Een ander handschrift, minuskel 304 (12e eeuw) mist de laatste twaalf verzen.

Freer logion
De Codex Washingtonianus (late 4e, vroege 5e eeuw) heeft de verzen 9–20 en bovendien nog een toevoeging tussen 16:14-15 die bekendstaat als het Freer Logion.
Zij verontschuldigden zich tegen Christus door te zeggen: deze tijd van wetteloosheid en ongeloof ligt onder Satan, die Gods kracht en waarheid niet de overhand laat krijgen over de zaken van de boze geesten. Openbaar ons daarom nu uw gerechtigheid. Christus antwoordde: Satans macht loopt ten einde, maar andere vreselijke dingen komen dichterbij. Ik ben overgegeven in de dood voor zondaars, opdat ze terugkeren naar de waarheid en niet meer zondigen en de onvergankelijke geestelijke heerlijkheid van de hemel zullen leren komen.
Deze tekst is alleen bekend van dit handschrift en van een citaat door Hiëronymus van Stridon.

De groep handschriften die bekendstaat als Familie 1 en anderen zetten nog een aantekening bij Marcus 16:9–20, dat sommige afschriften de verzen niet hebben. De Codex Regius (Nieuwe Testament) geeft het korte slot na 16:8, waarna de verzen 9-20 volgen.
In de groep handschriften die bekendstaat als Family K1 ontbreken bij de tekst van Marcus 16:9-20 de indeling in paragrafen aan de rand en de titels er boven.
Marcus 16:9–20 wordt in zijn traditionele vorm aangetroffen in ongeveer 10-15 uncialen, waarvan de oudste de Codex Alexandrinus is, en in alle onbeschadigde minuskels. De meeste tekstcritici staan een beetje sceptisch tegenover de bewijskracht van al die middeleeuwse minuskels die allemaal zo veel op elkaar lijken.
16:9-20 ontbreekt in meer dan 100 Armeense handschriften en de twee oudste Georgische handschriften. De Armeense vertaling dateert van 411-450; en de Georgische is afhankelijk van deze versie. Eén Armeens handschrift uit 989 heeft een aantekening bij 16:8 en 16:9: "Ariston eritzou", dat wil zeggen 'Door Ariston de oudste/priester'. Ariston of Aristion is bekend van een oude traditie (doorgegeven door Papias en anderen) als medewerker van Petrus en als bisschop van Smyrna in de eerste eeuw.

Hypothesen over het slot
Hypothesen om de variatie in de tekst te verklaren:

A. Marcus heeft 16:8 bedoeld als slot.
1. Iemand anders heeft het lange slot 16:9-20 er later bijgeschreven.
B. Marcus heeft 16:8 niet bedoeld als slot.
 Marcus was in staat zijn evangelie te voltooien.
 De huidige 16:9-20 zijn van Marcus.
2. Ze zijn weggelaten uit de (voorloper van) de codex Sinaiticus en de Codex Vaticanus, hetzij per ongeluk, hetzij opzettelijk.
 De huidige 16:9-20 zijn niet van Marcus.
3. Het oorspronkelijke slot is per ongeluk verloren gegaan (het laatste blad van een codex, of het laatste gedeelte van een boekrol). Iemand anders heeft dit later aangevuld.
4. Het slot van Marcus werd afgewezen en door iemand anders vervangen door de huidige 16:9–20, als harmonisatie met de andere evangeliën.
 Marcus was niet in staat zijn evangelie te voltooien.
5. Hij stierf of vertrok plotseling naar Rome. Iemand anders maakte het werk af.

Intern bewijs
Het interne bewijs heeft in de tekstkritiek betrekking op de kenmerken van stijl en taal en de lijn van het verhaal. 19 van de 163 woorden van de passage komen elders niet voor in het Marcusevangelie, maar andere gedeelten met twaalf verzen zouden dezelfde score opleveren.

Sommige deskundigen vinden vers acht een merkwaardige slotzin. Het laatste woord is het voegwoord γαρ (gar): "want". γαρ kan echter wel een zin beëindigen, en doet dat onder meer in de Septuagint een aantal keren. Het zou wel bijzonder zijn als γαρ een verhaal afsloot.

Vers 9–20 passen nauwelijks als slot van het Evangelie. De overgang van vers 8 naar vers 9 verloopt niet soepel.
"Ze gingen naar buiten en vluchtten bij het graf vandaan, want ze waren bevangen door angst en schrik. Ze waren zo erg geschrokken dat ze tegen niemand iets zeiden.
(9) Toen hij vroeg op de eerste dag van de week uit de dood was opgestaan, verscheen hij eerst aan Maria uit Magdala, bij wie hij zeven demonen had uitgedreven."

Ten tweede noemt Marcus de tweemaal aangekondigde verzoening van Jezus met zijn discipelen in Galilea (Markus 14:28, 16:7) niet.
Ten slotte is de constructie "Toen hij was opgestaan" anders dan de eerder gebruikte passieve "hij is opgewekt".

Opvattingen
Er is onder deskundigen consensus dat vers 9–20 oorspronkelijk geen deel uitmaakten van de tekst van Marcus 16, maar een heel vroege aanvulling zijn.

Er is verschil van mening of 16:8 het oorspronkelijk bedoelde slot is. Sommigen denken dat het evangelie oorspronkelijk daar eindigde, anderen denken dat het boek nooit is afgemaakt, of dat bijvoorbeeld de laatste bladzijde van een codex is weggeraakt. Velen, waaronder Rudolf Bultmann, denken dat het evangelie oorspronkelijk besloot met een verschijning in Galilea, en een verzoening met de elf. zelfs als vers 9-20 niet van de schrijver zijn..

Vers 9-20 komen overeen met andere Bijbelgedeelten, sommigen denken daarom dat dit gedeelte niet los van de rest van de Bijbel is ontstaan.

Hoewel het lange slot van Marcus door de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk bij het concilie van Trente als canoniek wordt beschouwd, wil dat niet zeggen dat katholieken (moeten) geloven dat het onderdeel uitmaakt van het Evangelie volgens Marcus.

Kamień św. Wojciecha – głaz narzutowy, drugi co do wielkości w Wielkopolsce (największym jest kamień św. Jadwigi).

Położenie
Kamień położony jest w odległości blisko 3 km na południe od Mieściska, we wsi Budziejewko. Położony jest 300 m na południowy wschód od miejscowego kościoła św. Wojciecha.

Charakterystyka i pochodzenie
Obiekt znalazł się w tym miejscu za sprawą lądolodu skandynawskiego. Zbudowany z czerwonego granitu głaz ma w obwodzie 20,5 m, długi jest na 7,5 m, szeroki na 4,7 m i wysokość 1,3 m (zagłębiony jest w ziemi na 2,7 m).

Ochrona
W 1840 roku został objęty ochroną na wniosek okolicznych chłopów złożony do landrata wągrowieckiego. Po 1945 wpisano go do rejestru pomników przyrody. Jest to najstarszy w Wielkopolsce obiekt przyrodniczy chroniony prawem jako pomnik przyrody nieożywionej. Pierwotnie teren, na którym spoczywa należał do właścicieli prywatnych. Potem został wykupiony przez gminę. Z inicjatywy wojewody Włodzimierza Łęckiego zbudowano do niego drogę wraz z parkingiem.

Legendy
Z głazem związane są dwie legendy. Według jednej – z tego kamienia św. Wojciech głosił Słowo Boże dla okolicznych mieszkańców, wędrując z Gniezna do Prusów. Według drugiej – znajdujące się obok kamienia źródełko miało magiczną moc uzdrawiania chorych, którą straciło, gdy pewien rolnik postanowił przemyć oczy swemu ślepemu osłu, licząc, że zwierzę odzyska wzrok. Źródło powstać miało po zapadnięciu się żelaznych sań z głazem zaprzężonych w pięćdziesiąt koni. Sanie wiozły ten głaz do Gniezna z inicjatywy ludności miejscowej dla uczczenia św. Wojciecha już po jego śmierci.

Maria Paradowska zanotowała również inną legendę: głaz miał być ciągnięty przez samego św. Wojciecha na złotych saniach zaprzężonych w cztery woły, by ustawić go w Gnieźnie. Ciężar kamienia spowodował jednak zapadnięcie się ziemi. Złote sanie mają nadal znajdować się pod głazem.

pickhammeraxe explores de-habituation of touch from a musical perspective and asks what touch sounds like and what is touch's musical structure?
In pickhammeraxe two of my lines of research combine, the line which I have followed in translating notation into pieces and parts, separating these parameters into the body of senses, and then working specifically with touch and the parameters available to it, and the formalization of the structure of touch as an organizational principle in music. I argue this is especially audible in the Kokkola recordings.
The score of pickhammeraxe consists of illustrated inventions depicting wearable musical instruments, or glove instruments, which the musician is asked to recreate, in other words they perform the making of the instrument and the wearing of the instrument. Here touch doesn't just signify a fashion statement, it goes beyond pop references and even prosthetics to the technological extending of the sense of touch in the act of living vis a vis an instrument.
1 Nikolaus Gansterer, Emma Cocker, and Mariella Greil Choreo-Graphic Figures: Deviations from the Line (Berlin: De Gruyter, 2017), pp. 140.
From the score shown above I chose one as mine number 13/20 and drew it out much larger and on larger paper also re-imagining the parts of the instrument through my material approach. In order to guide this process I bought a Mulberry branded blue fake leather hand-bag and dismantled it intact. This way I learnt the two different stitching methods and their application on seven different seams types. The material, its previous function and the marks left by that construction process therefore afforded my design.
Images from the process of dismantling the hand-bag.
In order to create a context by which the audience could understood the de-habituate process which the work was interrogating I began copied illustrations from an art history book. What interested me especially were images of musiking with flutes, but also there were other types of touches, like the fresco of a hand touching the first black burnt piece of stone ash falling before the disaster. Or the Egyptian ceremonial hand holding what looks like a decorated glass-bead shaker in the shape of a hand-bag.
The composed musical instrument I made are made up of four pieces which interrelate the hands so that three are played by the left hand and one by the right.
The piece interrogates touch when it is extended by objects, and when touch is transferred by a mediator.
It interrogates what happens when the skin feels through another object and understands how the resulting music is characterized differently when contact between the hand and the musical instrument is interrupted by another instrument. It would seem intuitive that touch in this sense is reduced, but rather is increased because the held object becomes the touched, and through it more touch happens. As well as mediating the relationship the new instrument that is designed in a way that brings out what is between the skin and the sounding object: stretching, weight, tickle, rubbing, pricking, access of skin to sounding object, feeling of materials.
The action of the musician also demonstrates what I argue throughout my thesis to be the structure of touch as it acts and plays in and with the parameters of musical composition. In this way musical instruments become not just emitters of sounds, but accumulators of the sound of making, building, playing, observing, and admiring as formalistic and structural elements in the music. The music I have composed therefore doesn't extend touch, but includes it in music's definition.
What is reduced is the speed of touch, as not all the sensations of touch pass from the sounding material through the object to the hand immediately, the object must first take on properties that can be transferred, such as temperature, and only then can the touching hand feel them. This relation can only be understood by remembering what the sounding material feels like. But also by observing the change that happens over time to the mediating instrument. This relationship in memory and time is physical in two ways, in that it happens on the skin and the skin itself can remember, but also because their representation coincides in the brain area that deals with three dimensional thinking.

My children and I recently enjoyed a screening of the new movie, Walking With Dinosaurs by 20th Century Fox. Walking With Dinosaurs 3D is smart, funny and visually stunning…..it is an exciting family film with heart! In this big screen adventure, my kids and I felt like we were transported back through time for a glimpse into the life of dinosaurs 70 million years ago.
From the moment this film began, there was a hush throughout the theatre and it remained quiet despite the theatre being filled with kids of all ages. The children (and adults too) were captivated from start to finish and the only sounds that could be heard was laughter, gasps of amazement and spontaneous applause at the end.
Based on the popular BBC series of the same name, Walking With Dinosaurs 3D is visually breath taking as it features glorious Alaskan and New Zealand backdrops along with realistic looking computer generated dinosaurs. Directed by Barry Cook and Neil Nightingale, the scenery and attention to details are stunning and I really appreciated the use of the natural environment.
Creatively narrated by an Alexomis bird named Alex, this story features a young dinosaur named Patchi who is the runt of his litter. He looks up to his father who is the leader of the Pachyrhinosaurus herd and lives with his mother and his big brother, Scowler. He is also smitten by a sweet young female dinosaur named Juniper. As the herd sets out on their annual winter migration they face adversity and ultimately Patchi and Scowler find themselves alone. Patchi will battle the environment, other dinosaur species and even his own brother, Scowler. Will Patchi be able to prove to himself and the herd that courageous, brave leaders come in small packages (even those with a hole in the fringe on top of their head)?
My children are ages 6, 7 and 8 and while there are realistic creature fight scenes with death in this PG rated movie there is no blood or overly scary scenes that frightened them at all. There are silly dinosaur poop jokes which elicited lots of giggles from the children and the comedic banter helped to lighten up some of the more realistic scenes. From a teacher standpoint-I appreciated that this film introduces each new species of dinosaur through a child narrator including both its Latin name with English translation. In my opinion, Walking With Dinosaurs attempts to inform the audience about dinosaurs while entertaining and while the story line and humor may make this different than the original series it still hit the mark in terms of inspiring my own children to want to learn more about dinosaurs. Long story short…..we loved it!

LumenLab CEO and Chief Innovation Officer of MetLife Asia, Mr. Zia Zaman said, "LumenLab's remit extends beyond the traditional life and health insurance industry. Our innovation strategy focuses on consumers as the source of insights and inspiration; it goes beyond just technology innovation. To respond to the fact that the demand curve is bending towards Asia, a phenomenon we call the Asiafication of Demand, the centre is based right here in Singapore."
"Our success so far today would not have been possible without the deep support of the Singapore government and partners. In particular, we appreciate the guidance of the Economic Development Board (EDB), the vision of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as well as the support from the talented community at the National University of Singapore (NUS)," added Zaman.
Mr. Christopher G. Townsend, President, Asia of MetLife said that Singapore was selected ahead of other countries in the Asia region as the location for LumenLab, chiefly because of its flourishing business ecosystem, strong public-private partnership framework, progressive financial regulatory environment, and its ability to attract creative and innovative talent in the country.
"Lately, innovation in the insurance industry in Asia has been incremental and, too often Western-centric," Townsend said. "LumenLab is something entirely different. It is a business creation engine, focused on illuminating new business models for the market. At MetLife, we believe technological, customer and socio-economic trends impacting the Asian life insurance market make it ripe for disruption. As LumenLab spawns new and disruptive business models, we anticipate that it will be retrospectively seen as a visionary and shrewd investment."
LumenLab will enable MetLife to anticipate the needs of Asian consumers, who are expected to account for approximately half of the insurance industry's growth in the next decade. As the second largest Pan-Asia life insurer, with over 60 years of experience and over 21,000 employees in Asia, MetLife is committed to growing its business and to delivering greater value for customers across the region.
Singapore – a ripe environment for MetLife's LumenLab
"The opening of LumenLab today bears testimony to MetLife's confidence in Singapore's proposition as a leading insurance market and our vision to be an innovation lab for new and emerging insurance risks. LumenLab is an enlightened response to Asia's healthcare and retirement needs in the next decade, and is well aligned with MAS' strategy to have innovation-led growth drive our next phase of development as a global insurance market," said MAS Deputy Managing Director, Ms. Jacqueline Loh.
Orchestrating the development of successful public-private partnerships is the role that EDB continues to play. Ms. Kwee Eng Thien, Assistant Managing Director of the EDB stated "Partnerships are a key enabler for innovation as companies seek out new opportunities in Asia. We are pleased that LumenLab is leveraging Singapore's ecosystem and capabilities across diverse industries to draw fresh insights and drive the creation of new businesses. We look forward to partnering MetLife in this exciting journey as it seeks to explore new business lines and create new value."
Collaborating with the strong talent pool in Singapore and across Asia
MetLife's LumenLab and NUS Business School have forged a mutually beneficial partnership that provides students with resources and data for management practicum field work, as well as jobs. In exchange, LumenLab is granted access to a strong talent pool and differentiated brand, both on the NUS campus and within the university's research community. LumenLab is also one of the sponsors for NUS Business School's flagship "Cerebration" – the world's biggest global business case competition organised by MBA students.
Professor Bernard Yeung, Dean and Stephen Riady Distinguished Professor at NUS Business School, said: "Our MBA students have gained immensely from the industry experience and perspectives provided through our partnership with MetLife. With its focus on new business models and capabilities, the partnership augments our School's efforts in developing future-ready graduates. We are pleased to continue growing Singapore's and Asia's talent pool, as we have done over the past 50 years."
By collaborating with the strong entrepreneurial talent pool in Singapore and across Asia, venture capitalists, and in-country experts from MetLife's regional operations, LumenLab is well-equipped to explore and deploy new solutions for its customers. Harnessing MetLife's deep customer empathy and data, LumenLab will light the way in moving MetLife from an insurance company to a life company.

Why Spiegel Isn't Zuckerberg (and Vice Versa)

I was going to write an end-of-year column today. But as I sat down to write in a quiet San Francisco cafe, I was distracted by an article about Snap's IPO strategy and I had to respond. If the story is true, Snap should fire its bankers.
The piece was reporting about Snap's desire to compare itself to Facebook and how its IPO bankers plan to draw parallels between Evan Spiegel and Mark Zuckerberg. Well, I'd love to hear those bankers' arguments because, based on personal experience and years of interviewing people about both men, I firmly believe that the two CEOs couldn't be more different.


Who: Forty service members from the Semper Fi Fund's - Team Semper Fi Program and their families thrive with a common bond at a once in a lifetime golf clinic for all skill levels and disabilities.
"Golf is a sport that can be played by all ability levels for a lifetime. It is the ultimate challenge both mentally and physically and serves the service members well on their road to recovery by sharpening their minds and their focus, as well as tuning up their bodies. The degree of difficulty of this game requires a lot of focus, determination, and ability to adapt: all qualities of our Team Semper Fi members'" says TSF Senior Manager, Ray Watkins.
What: The second annual family golf clinic hosted at Blackwolf Run Golf Course with teaching instruction from some of the best advanced-level golf professionals in the country. Service members and their families will challenge themselves while feeling comfortable and confident with common military connections. These families will continue to grow post-trauma – learning to thrive beyond injuries and the circumstances of war. This unique event will reinforce that they are not alone and there is a community that supports them.

What has Trump said about the protests at the US Capitol?
CHAOS has ensued at the US Capitol after President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building, broke windows, and shoved federal officers in Washington DC.
After hosting a rally outside the White House prior to the mayhem, Trump is nowhere to be found but he found time to comment on Twitter about the havoc that took place.
Read our US Politics live blog for the latest news as the US Capitol building is put into lockdown
President Trump has been bunkering in the White House as his supporters break into the US Capitol in an effort to intimidate Congress members to certify him as the winner of the 2020 election.
Trump pleaded with his supporters to "stay peaceful" and "go home" hours after they stormed the federal building.
"Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!" he tweeted.
An hour later, the President wrote: "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!"
Shortly after the last tweet, he released a video on his Twitter saying: "I know your pain, I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side.
"But you have to go home now, we have to have peace. We have to have law and order, we have to have to respect our great people in law and order.
He added: "We don't want anybody hurt. It's a very tough period of time, there's never been a time like this where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country.
"This was a fraudulent election but we can't play into the hands of these people, we have to have peace. So go home, we love you, you're very special, you've seen what happens and you see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil, I know how you feel.
"But go home and go home in peace."
Who has been injured?
A woman was shot in the chest and critically wounded at the Capitol.
Six people were reportedly taken from the building to a hospital with injuries in the violent scenes.
A graphic clip shared on social media showed a woman bleeding out from the neck after she was allegedly shot.
Additionally, video showed protesters running across the grass and toward the building in an attempt to occupy it after the fence was broken as some tried to occupy the building.
Multiple officers have also been injured due to the violence in the building.
The National Guard will be deployed to calm the crowd and restore law and order.
What have Congress members said?
Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have called on Trump to demand that all protesters leave the Capitol and its grounds immediately.
Senator Ted Cruz, who challenged the election results earlier that day, tweeted: "Violence is always unacceptable. Even when passions run high. Anyone engaged in violence—especially against law enforcement—should be fully prosecuted.
Adding: "God bless the Capitol Police and the honorable men & women of law enforcement who show great courage keeping all of us safe."
What did Trump say in his MAGA protest speech today in Washington?
For the second consecutive day, MAGA fans rolled into Washington DC in their continued support of Trump and his baseless claims of a rigged election.
"We'll never give up. We'll never concede," the president said. "We will not take it anymore."
Trump insisted: "This was not a close election."
He later questioned: "Does anybody really believe Joe had 80million votes?"
Despite the baseless claims from Trump and his supporters, election officials have repeatedly said there is zero evidence of fraud that would have altered the election results.
Trump then slammed late-night vote counting the presidential election as "explosions of bulls***."

John Oliver to Star in Weekly Topical Comedy Series for HBO Starting Next Year
Fans of The Daily Show rejoice and weep at the same time for John Oliver. Much like Steve Carrell and Stephen Colbert, John Oliver is following his great run on The Daily Show as a correspondent an part-time replacement for John Stewart while he was filming a movie in the Middle East. It seems that when he took over the hosting duties, he caught a lot of attention for his outstanding performances every night. While he couldn't fully fill the void that is John Stewart, he caught the right peoples attention. That is, HBO.
Here is the rest of the information we got from the HBO Press Release:
HBO has signed John Oliver to star in a topical comedy series slated to launch in 2014, it was announced by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. Presenting a satirical look at the week in news, politics and current events, the weekly show will debut on Sunday nights.
"We weren't otherwise searching for another weekly talk show, but when we saw John Oliver handling host duties on 'The Daily Show,' we knew that his singular perspective and distinct voice belonged on HBO," said Lombardo. "We are extremely excited that John has agreed to make HBO his home."
Oliver commented, "I'm incredibly excited to be joining HBO, especially as I presume this means I get free HBO now. I want to thank Comedy Central, and everyone at 'The Daily Show' for the best seven and a half years of my life. But most of all, I'd like to thank Jon Stewart. He taught me everything I know. In fact, if I fail in the future, it's entirely his fault."
John Oliver is an Emmy®- and Writer's Guild Award-winning writer and correspondent for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," joining the show in 2006. He first came to prominence as a cutting-edge political stand-up performer in the UK, with a string of TV appearances and sold-out solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival. Oliver won the Breakout Award at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2007 and went on to write and star in the Comedy Central stand-up special "John Oliver: Terrifying Times," followed by the series "John Oliver's New York Stand Up Show," which he has hosted for four seasons. With longtime collaborator Andy Zaltzman, Oliver co-writes and co-presents the popular weekly satirical podcast The Bugle, which currently receives more than 500,000 downloads a week. He also has a recurring role on the network comedy series "Community."
Oliver's tenure as guest host on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" this summer prompted critical raves. The New York Times called him "clever and winning," while the Los Angeles Times described him as "instantly memorable," and the New York Observer said, "John Oliver is the best thing to happen to late night since Colbert."

HomeNewsThe End Of Europe: Dutch And Czechs Consider Exit
The End Of Europe: Dutch And Czechs Consider Exit
February 25, 2016 Sean Adl-Tabatabai News, World 6
Dutch voters have demanded an in-out referendum on the Netherland's membership in the European Union, amid growing fears that the entire European project is about to collapse.
With Britain due to hold a June 23 referendum, other countries are preparing for an imminent exit in the event that Britain leaves.
Express.co.uk reports:
In a new opinion poll in the Netherlands, a majority of voters said they backed the country having its own in/out referendum on EU membership, similar to the UK vote.
And Czech Republic prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka has warned if Britons do decide to leave the EU, a 'Czexit' could follow.
In the Dutch poll, more than half (53 per cent) supported an in/out vote with 44 per cent opposed and four per cent unsure.
In the survey, conducted by pollster and entrepreneur Maurice de Hond, voters were also asked how they would vote in such an in/out referendum.
Only slightly more (44 per cent) wanted to remain in the EU than those who said they would opt to leave the bloc (43 per cent), while 13 per cent said they 'didn't know'.
Interestingly, more Dutch voters (48 per cent) said they didn't want Britain to exit the EU this summer than wanted their own country to stay in the bloc.
It came as Mr Sobotka told local Czech media a Brexit from the EU this summer would ramp up calls for his own country to quit the bloc, despite only having joined in 2004.
He said: "If Britain leaves the EU, we can expect debates about leaving the EU in a few years too."
"The impact may be really huge.
Mr Sobotka also warned a 'Czexit' could trigger an economic downturn and return the country to Russia and Vladimir Putin's sphere of influence.
In a poll conducted among Czech voters in October last year, three-fifths of Czechs said they were unhappy with EU membership while 62 per cent said they would vote against remaining amember state in a referendum.
Serbia's prime minister Aleksandar Vucic also voiced disillusionment with Brussels this week.
The politician, whose country isn't yet a full member of the EU but is a candidate for membership, claimed being part of the bloc had lost its "magic power".
Speaking at a conference in London yesterday, he said: ""The EU that all of us [Balkan countries] are aspiring to, it has lost its magic power.
"Yes we all want to join, but it is no longer the big dream it was in the past."
He added: "When you see that in Britain at least 50 percent of the people say they want to leave [the EU] that has an effect on the public."
Following David Cameron's completion of his EU renegotiation last week and the announcement of the date of Britain's referendum, other member states have warned of the 'domino effect' of Brexit causing other countries to quit the bloc.
Earlier this month, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond acknowledged other European politicians hold a "real fear" that "if Britain leaves, the contagion would spread".
Speaking ahead of last week's summit, European Council president Donald Tusk highlighted both the threat of Brexit and the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe as "the two biggest challenges to the future of the European Union".

There's an increasing number of freelancers and startups choosing coworking spaces over congested coffee shops and diners with free wifi. We've already discussed in a previous post about why this shift is occurring, but the simple reason is that these spaces promote collaboration and productivity. But coworking spaces have their own sets of challenges as well, one of which is noise. There's the buzzing of phones, impromptu meetings, email dings, and people walking around. How does this promote productivity?

The AlzeCure Foundation is formed in the fall in a collaborative effort between a group of prominent AstraZeneca researchers, Alzheimerfonden and Professor Bengt Winblad at Karolinska Institutet.
The purpose of the organization is to develop new drugs and diagnostics for Alzheimer's and related diseases. When AstraZeneca closes its Alzheimer research operations in Södertälje, we see a strong need to retain and further develop the important pharmaceutical research in the field of Alzheimer's in the region and in Sweden as a whole.
A team of senior specialists in complementary fields of pharmaceutical research forms the scientific group that is the core of AlzeCure's operations.
NeuroRestore is the first project when the Foundation initiates research and development at Novum, Karolinska Institutet in Huddinge, which becomes the natural hub for the operation.
The project portfolio is developed and expanded in part through grants and funding from international grant programs such as the Alzheimer Drug Discovery Foundation and national funding sources such as Vinnova, Swedish Brainpower, Swelife, and Alzheimerfonden.
AlzeCure Pharma is founded because its main drug candidates are considered to have great commercial potential. The two project platforms in the company are NeuroRestore, the product of in-house research, while Alzstatin derives from AstraZeneca's research portfolio, where the project was launched on the initiative of AlzeCure's scientists.
Johan Sandin is appointed CEO for AlzeCure Pharma in February.
In June, the company completes its first financing round to raise SEK 70 million before issue expenses.
In July, the company completes its second financing round to raise SEK 40 million aimed at financing phase I studies for ACD855.
Preclinical testing of ACD855 ends in July.
IMPD (application to commence studies in humans) for the drug candidate ACD855 is submitted in October.
The company is listed on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market in November.
The necessary regulatory approvals to begin phase I studies for ACD855 are granted and the company begins dosing the first subjects in December.
In March the company initiates a new drug project in the field of pain, TrkA-NAM.
The company is represented at the International Conference on Alzheimer's & Parkinson's Diseases where it gives two presentations.
In May the company chooses to refocus ACD855 from cognitive dysfunction to ocular indications and ACD856 becomes the primary drug candidate for cognitive dysfunction instead.
At the annual general meeting on May 22, the company resolves to issue a warrant program aimed at its Board of Directors.
In December the company obtains the necessary regulatory approvals to initiate the first clinical studies for the drug candidate ACD856 within the NeuroRestore platform. The company initiates the study shortly thereafter.
On January 7, the company in-licenses a new project, ACD440, which focuses on neuropathic pain and is in the clinical development phase.
Martin Jönsson takes over as Chief Executive Officer on January 8, 2020. Martin has worked in the global pharmaceutical industry for more than 20 years, with extensive experience from various executive positions at both Ferring Pharmaceutical and Roche.
Johan Sandin takes over the position of Chief Scientific Officer in January, which enables him to dedicate all of his time to research and development.

CHAMPAIGN — Tucked away in rural southeastern Illinois, Robinson High School center Meyers Leonard hit the AAU summer circuit in search of exposure and a chance to test his game.
Before the summer concluded, he came away with national interest and a decision about his future.
The 6-foot-10 Leonard, a junior this fall, made an oral commitment Tuesday to play for Illinois after the Illini had made a scholarship offer.
In his only AAU season, Leonard leaped into the national recruiting rankings. Ranked No. 43 nationally by Scout.com, Leonard grabbed the attention of recruiters with his size and mobility. He weighs 205 pounds after gaining 10-15 pounds since the end of his sophomore season.
Leonard joined Team Ramey, a St. Louis-based AAU program, and "had no idea'' if he could compete on the national scene, he said.
"It was really neat,'' Robinson High School coach Bob Coffman said. "As college coaches continued to call and offer him, he said, 'Is this really happening to me?' He was amazed at some of the phone calls he was getting and offers from colleges. If he'd waited a little longer, I think it would have spread across the entire country.
NOTE: Defensive tackle D'Angelo McCray, a four-star prep football standout from Jacksonville, Fla., who redshirted last fall at Illinois, has transfered to Eastern Illinois. McCray underwent two knee surgeries last season and showed little signs of improvement during spring drills. He will have four years of eligibility with the Panthers, who play Sept. 6 at Illinois.
