Worried? Distracted? Angry? There's mounting evidence that focus, emotional regulation—and even love—are skills that can be developed through Christian meditation. Maybe it's time for you to change your brain by becoming closer to God.
Most people in the world have an undisciplined mind, meaning their attention comes and goes, patience wanes, and fear, malice, and desires seem to drive us from impulse to action.
In contrast, practiced Christian monks develop their brains with meditation. Drawing on nearly 2,000 years of Christian meditative techniques while paying careful attention to the workings of the mind, they develop the inner life by allowing God's Spirit to be more while they become less. This voids the carnal power of the mind while controlling it's thought with God's word and commandments. This clears the way to enjoy more calm, peace, tranquility, love, joy, happiness, and wisdom. It regulates emotion, lower tension, and lets creativity flow.
What we're talking about is the cultivation of a life with God through the study and meditation of Hid word. This is what John 14:23 says, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home"
Let me spell it out. If anyone loves God intensely through the study and meditation of His word, God individual focus will turn to that person which will cause more of God's presence to manifest.
Who would you be with more of God presence? I would say you would be more loving, peaceful, and have a richer knowledge of God. Not to mention you'd have God's supernatural power operating in your life as you perform God will in real-time. God's presence in you would change the way you think, feel, and act. God's presence in you would have mastery over the carnal self and the carnal self would greatly diminish.
That's right, Jesus came so that you may have life more abundantly, with love, compassion, joy, health, power, and wisdom. We can transcend from carnal to more divine by learning to quiet the mind during the meditation of God's word—the essence of Christian meditation.
The idea of developing our mental skills has been around for millennia and is now being proven to be of great benefit by science.
UCLA psychiatrist Daniel Siegel has explained that when a person slows down brain waves during a focused meditation, similar to what we experience in practicing John 14:23, the brain becomes neurologically rewired which gives us more control over our emotions. In other words, we have greater peace and knowledge.
God's word is being now proven true by science. John 14:23 and John 10:10 convey solid scientific advice for anyone looking for more happiness. The added benefit to following the Biblical advice is more of God's presence, something science cannot measure. What science has provided though is proof that God designed our mind and body to be fine tuned during meditation, especially when God's word is the focus.
The strategy that starts you on this road of mindful existence with God means cultivating a mindset with God's word. Deep daily meditation of God's word provides nonjudgmental awareness of all things. Instead, love, compassion, and understanding from God will be your guiding light. What we practice here at ChristAudio is quiet devotional reading of the Bible. We read, meditate, ponder, analyze, and finally close our eyes and absorb its meaning as real. A couple of hours with this practice and you'll begin to see what Jesus meant in john 14:23.
Interestingly, Clifford Saron, a neuroscientist at the Center for Mind and Brain at the University of California at Davis, has stated that by practicing focused meditation a person can begin to observe the flux of the mind. With practice a person can detect how attention ebbs and flows. This happens when we meditate on God's word. The key is to recognize the fluctuations and return to the meditation.
We love you and we're praying for you. God bless you on your journey.

Big Buy In Indian Fintech After Half A Decade
October 21, 2021 zenger.news National Comments Off on Big Buy In Indian Fintech After Half A Decade
By Nimish Sawant
MUMBAI, India — BillDesk, India's earliest online payment gateway, was acquired for $4.7 billion in September 2021 by PayU, the payments and fintech arm of Dutch company Prosus.
This was PayU's most expensive buy in India. In 2016, PayU had acquired an Indian fintech firm called Citrus Payment Solutions for $130 million. It also acquired Wibmo for $70 million in 2019 and PaySense in 2020 for $185 million.
BillDesk was founded in 2000 by M.N. Srinivasu, Karthik Ganapathy, and Ajay Kaushal. This makes it the oldest fintech player in India — much before the term 'fintech' was coined. Unlike today's venture capital-backed fintech firms, BillDesk's earliest backers were government entities such as the Bank of Baroda and Small Industries Development Bank of India.
With an early start, BillDesk provided the technology backend needed for customers to pay their bills online in banking, insurance, utilities, telecom, and financial services. This has ensured that BillDesk has impressive numbers when compared to newer fintech players.
In FY20, BillDesk's operating revenue increased to $245 million from $195 million a year ago — a 28.5 percent jump.
PayU's deepening play
With the BillDesk acquisition, PayU is expected to become one of the leading online payment providers globally, with an estimated total payment volume of $147 billion. The partnership is expected to handle four billion transactions annually, four times PayU's current level.
In addition to India, PayU operates in 50 emerging markets.
Ganesh Vasudevan, research director at IDC Financial Insights, observes that this deal has been long in the making.
"Such deals are not stitched overnight," Vasudevan told Zenger News.

"BillDesk had applied for the New Umbrella Entity (NUE) license, but since the regulator has put NUE licenses on hold, that may have speeded up the sale. NUE would have made BillDesk a more end-to-end payment and settlements player in the fintech ecosystem."
Vasudevan said it had been half a decade since a fintech company got acquired at such a high cost.
Indian e-commerce site Snapdeal's acquisition of fintech player FreeCharge for $400 million in 2015 was the highest fintech-related acquisition before the PayU acquisition.
While BillDesk has been a profitable entity, it has a limited portfolio, notes Arushi Chawla, research analyst (primary research and digital payment ecosystem), Counterpoint.
"To maintain its position in an ecosystem which is fast transitioning, it would have been challenging for a payment gateway player to diversify its offerings by matching the innovation rate of the fintech startup ecosystem," Chawla told Zenger News.
BillDesk counts many government entities and public sector utilities in India as its customers.
"With the privatization of many government entities, it gives BillDesk the reason to emphasize on this decision. With the competition getting tougher, it will further strain the profit margins in the industry. Therefore, BillDesk stakeholders were seeking liquidity," said Chawla.
For PayU, it's a way to secure its future, noted Vasudevan.
"Fintech is a business of scale, and that is the intent that PayU is looking at. Margins are increasingly thinning and, in the future, they will further narrow in terms of payments and settlements. Considering that, PayU would like to expand the base to compensate for that loss," Vasudevan said.
Approvals pending
Approval is still needed from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) that stems any deals that may adversely affect competition in India.
"PayU and BillDesk offer complementary services. It is unlikely to raise issues with the Competition Commission of India as there is no direct bearing on the customer service," Vasudevan said. "There is no monopolization of the segment happening."
Bob van Djik, Group CEO of Prosus, said that with the BillDesk acquisition, the company had increased its investments in India to $10 billion over five years.
"Along with classifieds, food delivery, and education technology, payments and fintech is a core segment for Prosus, and India remains our number one investment destination," van Djik said in a statement.
According to Indian Reserve Bank's FY21 annual report, the number of digital retail payment transactions in the country has gone from 24 billion in 2018-19 to 44 billion in 2020-21 — an 80 percent jump.

Fear of duo-poly?
BillDesk and Paytm, a prominent Indian fintech player, occupied 76 percent of the payment gateway aggregator market in terms of transactions, according to a report from Redseer Consulting. But Vasudevan dismissed any fears of there being a duopoly due to this.
"Despite the huge market share, I feel fintech is an interesting space to be in. There are huge opportunities for multiple players. Margins may be thin, but this is a business of scale. We have to wait and see how things evolve," said Vasudevan.
According to Redseer Consulting, the Indian digital payments industry stands at INR 2,153 trillion ($29 trillion). It is expected to grow at a 27 percent compound annual growth rate to reach INR 7,092 trillion ($96 trillion) by FY25.
Chawla agreed that India's diversity would avoid any monopoly.
"The nature of India's fintech growth is unique due to the diversity of the country and the localized use case of mobile technology," Chawla said.
"As this market matures, we will witness more players with unique offerings serving the regional customer base. Though, we believe that in the long run, as the product differentiation narrows down, the need for sectoral oligopoly will likely take place."

INTRODUCTION: Climate change is one of the 21st century's biggest public health issues and health care contributes up to 10% of the emissions of greenhouse gases in developed countries. About 15 million laparoscopic procedures are performed annually worldwide and single-use medical equipment is increasingly used during these procedures. Little is known about costs and environmental footprint of this change in practice.
METHODS: We employed Life Cycle Assessment method to evaluate and compare the environmental impacts of single-use, reusable, and mixed trocar systems used for laparoscopic cholecystectomies at three hospitals in southern Sweden. The environmental impacts were calculated using the IMPACT 2002+ method and a functional unit of 500 procedures. Monte Carlo simulations were used to estimate differences between trocar systems. Data are presented as medians and 2.5th to 97.5th percentiles. Financial costs were calculated using Life Cycle Costing.
RESULTS: The single-use system had a 182% higher impact on resources than the reusable system [difference: 5160 MJ primary (4400-5770)]. The single-use system had a 379% higher impact on climate change than the reusable system [difference: 446 kg CO2eq (413-483)]. The single-use system had an 83% higher impact than the reusable system on ecosystem quality [difference: 79 PDF*m2*yr (24-112)] and a 240% higher impact on human health [difference: 2.4x10-4 DALY/person/yr (2.2x10-4-2.6x10-4)]. The mixed and single-use systems had a similar environmental impact. Differences between single-use and reusable trocars with regard to resource use and ecosystem quality were found to be sensitive to lower filling of machines in the sterilization process. For ecosystem quality the difference between the two were further sensitive to a 50% decrease in number of reuses, and to using a fossil fuel intensive electricity mix. Differences regarding effects on climate change and human health were robust in the sensitivity analyses. The reusable and mixed trocar systems were approximately half as expensive as the single-use systems (17360 € and 18560 € versus 37600 €, respectively).
CONCLUSION: In the Swedish healthcare system the reusable trocar system offers a robust opportunity to reduce both the environmental impact and financial costs for laparoscopic surgery.

How many handbell ringers are there?
That's a difficult question to answer. Who should we try to count? Everyone who can ring plain hunting on a coursing pair? Everyone who can ring Plain Bob Minor from the trebles or tenors? Everyone who rings handbells regularly?
Quite a long time ago, I produced tables of the most popular methods for handbell peals of Major, Royal and Maximus, which showed that although Yorkshire Major is more commonly rung than Cambridge Major, the preference is reversed on higher numbers.

Central Falls hailed for intensive vaccination; Pawtucket, parts of Providence next
Paul Edward Parker
PROVIDENCE — State health officials have credited an intensive vaccination effort in the city of Central Falls for dramatically reducing key COVID statistics there, and they want to expand it to Pawtucket and parts of Providence.
At a news conference Thursday, State Health Director Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott said that Centrals Falls had seen a 71% drop in the number of cases per capita as well as having the percentage of people being tested whose results were positive fall from 22% to 5%. This after more than 20% of the city's population had been vaccinated, Alexander-Scott said.
"This is fantastic news. However, we know that we have much more work to do in some of our other harder hit communities," she said. "The good news is we have a template of what can work."
Her spokesman, Joseph Wendelken, said after the news conference that intensive vaccination efforts would be expanded to all of Pawtucket and three ZIP codes in Providence: 02907, 02908 and 02909, which include the neighborhoods of Elmwood, the West End, Elmhurst, Mt. Pleasant, Smith Hill, Olneyville, Hartford and Silver Lake.
As a first step. residents in those areas age 65 and older will be invited to receive the vaccine.
Wilder Arboleda, spokesman for Pawtucket Mayor Donald R. Grebien, said that, as soon as more vaccine becomes available, eligibility will be expanded.
"We hope to open up to everybody," Arboleda told The Providence Journal Friday. "We want to do it. We don't have the available vaccines."
He said the city has been allotted four weeks of 480 doses a week. The city had been in effect preregistering people in the target age group by allowing them to sign up to indicate interest in advance, he said. "It's allowed us to essentially fill up."
As of Saturday, a few spots were still available in the March 13 vaccination clinic. To register, Pawtucket residents can visit www.pawtucketri.com/COVID19 or call (855) 843-7620.
In Providence, vaccination clinics began this weekend, with more scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday.
"Our goal is to vaccinate as many people as possible and to focus on the communities that have been hit the hardest," Mayor Jorge O. Elorza said in a news release.
To register for the Tuesday or Thursday clinic, residents of the eligible ZIP codes can visit VaccinatePVD.com or call 311 or (401) 421-2489.

Adjudication update: the TCC confirms that an adjudicator's failure to consider a defence of set-off was a breach of natural justice
It is settled in adjudication that, (1) only the dispute referred in the Notice of Adjudication may be decided by the adjudicator; and (2) a Respondent may advance any defence open to it (which may include set-off).
The Technology and Construction Court ("TCC") has clarified how these two principles interact in the context of the valuation of an Interim Application.
The Technology and Construction Court ("TCC") has clarified how these two principles interact in the context of the valuation of an Interim Application. The case, for which the judgment was given on 3 December 2020, is Global Switch Estates 1 Limited v Sudlows Limited.
The adjudication
Sudlows Limited ("Sudlows") was engaged by Global Switch Estates 1 Limited ("GSEL") to undertake works in connection with the fit out of GSEL's specialist data centre housed in the former Financial Times print works building at East India Dock House, London.
In the fourth adjudication between the parties, GSEL sought payment from Sudlows in respect of an Interim Application. The scope of the Interim Application was wide, however GSEL made a concerted effort to define the dispute narrowly. It specified within its Notice of Adjudication and Referral Notice the particular items within the Interim Application which it considered should be opened up and revised by the adjudicator, and set out a number of purported "Excluded Matters".
Sudlows challenged GSEL's attempt to limit the scope of the adjudication. Its defence was that a true valuation of the Interim Application required consideration of Sudlows' various loss and expense claims (which fell within GSEL's purported "Excluded Matters").
The parties agreed that Sudlows was entitled to advance any relevant defence to the dispute, but GSEL argued that the dispute was restricted to the valuation of the specific items within the Interim Application it had listed in its Notice. As such, GSEL argued that Sudlows' loss and expense claims could not be set off as a defence to the matter at hand.
The adjudicator agreed with GSEL and decided that GSEL was entitled to limit the scope of his jurisdiction to specified parts of the Interim Application. Accordingly, he decided that he did not have jurisdiction to decide Sudlows' loss and expense entitlement (or other "Excluded Matters", including the validity of a bank guarantee). The defence was not taken into account and the adjudicator awarded payment to GSEL.
Enforcement proceedings in the TCC
Sudlows failed to make payment and GSEL raised enforcement proceedings in the TCC.
As is widely appreciated, the bar for resisting enforcement of an adjudication decision is high. Even if the decision is incorrect (in fact and / or law), it must be paid unless the adjudicator did not have jurisdiction to reach the decision or breached the rules of natural justice (the latter includes what in Scotland is termed a failure to exhaust jurisdiction).
After considering the full relevant case law, The TCC held:
The adjudicator had been "misled by GSEL and wrongly failed to consider and deal with matters relied on by Sudlows as defences to GSEL's claim, thereby acting in breach of the rules of natural justice".
GSEL was not simply claiming for the true valuation of specific parts of the Interim Application, but also payment of the net sum due.
The adjudicator was entitled to limit the declaratory relief to the issues of valuation identified by GSEL. Determination of the claim for payment, however, required the adjudicator to consider all of the matters raised by Sudlows in support of its case that it was entitled to additional sums in relation to other issues of valuation arising out of the same Interim Application.
The adjudicator's failure to take into account Sudlows' defence based on its claims for loss and expense amounted to a "plain and obvious" breach of the rules of natural justice.
The breach was material, and GSEL's case to enforce the adjudication decision was dismissed.
Points to take away
This case makes clear that where a Referring Party seeks payment based on the valuation of a payment assessment it cannot limit the scope of the dispute to specific items within that assessment. Although this case was concerned with an Interim Application, the principles are equally applicable to Final Account disputes.
In view of this decision, before referring a dispute to adjudication a potential Referring Party should consider the defences that will be available to the Respondent. The scope of these defences may be wider than expected.

Carrière studied first at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and then with Alexandre Cabanel, but he soon escaped from these academic influences and created a very individual style, marked by a great softness of touch and a vision of tenderness, that was to remain characteristic of his work. He debuted in the Salon of 1876, but it was his entry in the Salon of 1879, The Young Mother, with which Carrière was to find his own very recognizable style.
He was a great friend of many of the most important French writers of his day: Verlaine, Daudet, Mallarmé, Anatole France, and Edmond de Goncourt, and his work was much influenced by them. He was recognized in his own day as a master and his works were much in demand. Carrière opened an academy in rue de Rennes where Matisse and Derain were among his pupils.
His works are found in many major museum collections, including the Luxembourg Museum in Paris, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Tate Gallery, Frick Collection, and other museums with important collections of 19th century European art.
