Sri Lanka vs West Indies Match Update, World Cup 2019
Sri Lanka vs West Indies World Cup 2019
Cricket World Cup: Sri Lanka to draw full emphasis against the West Indies to stay in the semi-final race
Chester Lee Street. There has been a widespread rivalry in many teams to reach the semi-finals of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. One of these teams in Sri Lanka. To keep the semi-finals hopes alive for the Sri Lankan cricket team, the match to be played with the West Indies cricket team on Monday will be won in every situation.
The Sri Lankan team got a lot of confidence from the 20-run win over World Cup champions England, However, in the next match, he had to face defeat by nine wickets in South Africa's hands.
In the 1996 champion Sri Lankan team tournament, he is now seventh on six points in seven matches. There are just two contests left by the captain of the team, Dimut Karunaratne. Apart from this, he has to rely on the results of the matches between England and Pakistan.
Two matches have been canceled so far in Sri Lanka in the tournament, while in one it has won under the Duckworth-Lewis Rule.
On the other hand, the World Champion West Indies Cricket team of 1975 and 1979 won only one of the tournament's seven matches. The team is at number nine with three points.
Well, the West Indies team is already out of the tournament semi-final competition. However, the Caribbean team would surely want to win the match and break the hopes of reaching the semi-finals of Sri Lanka.
Making runs for Sri Lankan batsmen in front of the West Indies fast bowling attack will not be easy. The team has fast bowlers like Sheldon Cottrell, Oshana Thomas, and veteran Kemar Roach.
At the same time, if talking about batting, then the West Indies team has explosive batsmen like Chris Gayle, Shimron Heitmeyer, Shi Hope, and Carlos Brathwaite.
Both teams have faced defeat in their previous match. Where Sri Lanka was defeated by Sri Lanka, the West Indies lost the series by 125 runs to India.
ODI record almost at par:
In ODIs, both the teams have faced 56 times in a row, in which 25 Sri Lanka have won 25 times and West Indies have won 28 times.

The Pope: Wild about "Harry"
A survey of the Vatican's fickle taste in recent movies
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2009/07/15/potter_pope/
Vincent Rossmeier
July 15, 2009 4:16PM (UTC)
The Vatican has given two thumbs up to the latest cinematic installment of the Harry Potter series. The positive review comes as somewhat of a surprise considering that in the past the Church has accused the Potter films and books of being corrupting, "distorting Christianity" and even called poor young Harry the Prince of Darkness. Yet, the Papacy thinks "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" gets that whole good vs. evil, battle for the soul of mankind debate just right this time around.
The Church has a tangled, fraught history with Hollywood's offerings. The U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops has a whole site dedicated to evaluating whether films are appropriate for Catholics, including their Top 10 films for every year since 1965. While the Vatican's condemnatory reactions to movies generally make for splashier headlines, the Church also has often embraced important films throughout cinematic history -- including some titles you might not expect.
In 1995, during Pope John Paul II's time at the head of the Church, the Vatican released the modestly titled list "Some Important Films" that honored a wide-range of cinematic classics. The list broke down films into three categories: religion, values and art. At the time, John Paul II said of film, "The Church's overall judgment of this art form, as of all genuine art, is positive and hopeful … We have seen that masterpieces of the art of film making can be moving challenges to the human spirit, capable of dealing in depth with subjects of great meaning and importance from an ethical and spiritual point of view."
Included on the Vatican's list were "A Man for All Seasons," "Andrei Rublev," and "Ben-Hur" for the religion category; "Gandhi," "Chariots of Fire," "It's A Wonderful Life," "Schindler's List," and "On the Waterfront," for the values column; and "Citizen Kane," "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Modern Times," "8½," "Fantasia," and "The Wizard of Oz" for art.
Yet, undeniably, as in the case with the previous Potter films, the Church has been far less receptive to some movies during its history. Here's a recap of six of the more memorable recent denunciations the Vatican has made of films.
•	"Angels & Demons" (2009) -- The Vatican banned the creators of the latest film adaptation of Dan Brown's conspiratorial novels about the Church from shooting within its grounds or any church in Rome. That probably didn't come as a shock to anyone considering the the Church wasn't exactly receptive to "The Da Vinci Code." Archbishop Velasio De Paolis, the leader of the Vatican's Prefecture for Economic Affairs, alleged that Brown had "turned the gospels upside down to poison the faith" and said that "It would be unacceptable to transform churches into film sets so that his blasphemous novels can be made into films in the name of business." That the film's director, Ron Howard, responded to the ban by accusing the Vatican of enacting a plot to stifle the film probably means Howard shouldn't be holding his breath on being named a saint anytime soon.
•	"The Da Vinci Code" (2006) -- It wasn't a shock that the Vatican vehemently denounced "The Da Vinci Code" -- yet how Dan Brown hasn't received a special place in Hell for his sentence composition remains a mystery. The Church reacted strongly against the film's suggestion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and eventually had children with her and that the Opus Dei sect of Catholicism covered up the relationship. The Vatican went so far as to call for a boycott of the film.
•	"The Golden Compass" (2007) -- The movie adaptation of Philip Pullman's bestselling novel "Northern Lights" was released just a few weeks before Christmas, but the Vatican showed the film no holiday cheer. An editorial in the Vatican newspaper, l'Osservatore Romano, criticized the movie for being "the most anti-Christmas film possible" and for bleakly imagining a world without God -- though to be fair, the film did imagine a world populated by Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. The Church even had condemnatory words for Pullman, as the editorial stated, "In Pullman's world, hope simply does not exist, because there is no salvation but only personal, individualistic capacity to control the situation and dominate events." Though Pullman's book does focus on a fictional church-like organiztion that experiments on children in order to explore the origin of sin, the film's director Chris Weitz removed this material. Yet, it didn't prevent the Church's criticism.
•	"The Passion of the Christ" (2004) -- Mel Gibson's ode to Christianity's savior greatly pleased former Pope John Paul II, though Gibson pulled a private showing of the film at the Vatican. After viewing the film, Pope John Paul II reportedly endorsed it and said, "It is as it was." Yet the film did cause its share of controversy within the Church, splitting Catholic conservatives and liberals. At issue was the film's depiction of Jewish responsibility for Jesus' death, which some Jewish organizations alleged was anti-Semitic. Catholic reformists denied collective Jewish guilt for Jesus' crucifixion, while more conservative members of the Vatican defended the film's depiction of events.
• "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" (2007) -- The Catholic Church has a long memory. During her reign in the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth I of England frequently clashed with Rome. Perhaps that's why the Vatican reacted so antagonistically to the 2007 film about her life. A Vatican historian called the movie "distorted anti-papal travesty," adding "a film which so profoundly and perversely falsifies history cannot be judged a good film."
•	"The Magdalene Sisters" (2002) -- After winning top honors at the Venice film festival, "The Magdalene Sisters," which depicted the brutal abuse Irish women endured at a Catholic-run asylum for "fallen" women, the Vatican lashed out at the film denouncing it both in the Vatican newspaper and on the radio.

That's when I realized: I am not my SAT score.
When you're a junior in high school, three little letters quickly become larger than life: SAT.
At the start of my junior year, I realized that the environment was more cutthroat than I had ever thought it could be. Surprisingly, this pressure didn't come from adults. It came from the other high schoolers. Everyone in my grade had college on the brain. To get into the college of our choice, we all believed, we had to outcompete and outscore and outstudy everyone else. And get less sleep. Because time sleeping was time you didn't spend studying for the SAT.
I let myself get swept up in the pressure. My new motto was, if I wasn't in every single Honor's Level class, I wasn't doing enough. I was irritable, I couldn't focus, I stopped talking to my friends, or to my mom, and I couldn't figure out who I was. I leaned back from my support networks, and I didn't have the confidence to know that my own passions and unique skills were what would make me stand out to colleges.
That's when I realized: I am not my SAT score. Trying to conform to what I thought colleges wanted was masking who I really am. I decided to lean in to my strengths -- and away from the crazy pressure I was putting on myself.
Instead of forcing myself into higher levels of math, I took on an extra history class. Instead of forcing myself to do extracurriculars that I hated, I cut back and focused on the ones I loved. I learned how to love what I was doing and not what I thought I was supposed to do. I learned to shine as an individual, not a faceless member of the crowd. And I found that not only was this better for my happiness, it made me more effective and efficient when I studied.
To me, individuality means having the confidence to decide who I am and who I want to be, and a number on a page is never going to change that. I am more sure of myself, and more ready to apply for college, than ever.

* As a matter of courtesy please advise Rev. C. Bouwman, if you plan to use this sermon in a worship service. Thank-you.
Beloved Congregation of the Lord Jesus Christ!
If one had to list doctrines about which there is confusion, one would have to mention also the doctrine concerning the church. A generation or so ago one knew it was the Lord's will that one be and remain Free Reformed. That general certainty is gone, and the evidence lies in the fact that in the last number of years people have much more easily withdrawn from the church than was the case in years past. A second indicator of change on the point is the ease with which faithful members of the congregation spend Sundays away, and either go to a different church or content themselves with not going to church at all; they instead listen to a tape.
In the face of this increasing lack of clarity about the Lord's revelation on the church, I need today to open with you God's word on the matter. I want to do so by highlighting two points. First I need to draw out the Savior's sovereign work. Then I need to accent our responsibility.
I summarize the sermon with this theme:
CHRIST GATHERS HIS CHURCH TODAY - AND WE ARE PART OF IT!
1. The sovereign work of Jesus Christ.
2. The responsibility of today's Christian.
1. The Sovereign Work of the Jesus Christ.
Before the Lord God created the world, He had determined all that would happen in the history of the world He was about to fashion. That includes who would be saved. I read in Eph 1 that God "chose us in [Christ] before the foundation of the world" (vs 4). That is: from out of the whole human race that would populate the earth in the course of time, the Lord elected a certain, definite number to salvation in Jesus Christ. Imagine two circles, the outer one representing the total population of earth over the centuries of history, and the inner one the total number of the elect.
In the passage we read from Jn 17, the Lord tells us that God has given these elect persons, this inner circle, to the Son. Vs 6, says Jesus: "I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to me." (cf vss 2,9,11,12, etc). These are, of course, the elect whom the Father had chosen before the foundation of the world. At Jesus' birth the angel told Joseph to call the baby's name 'Jesus' because -he said- "He will save His people from their sins" (Mt 1:21). "His people": that's a reference to the elect of God whom the Father would give to the Son. It was for them that the Christ came into the world, for them that the Son laid down His life on the cross. Their sins were transferred to the Son, the Son paid for those sins so that these elect persons are now righteous before God; they are heirs of eternal life.
Who are these people whom the Father chose to life eternal and gave to the Son? The Scriptures are emphatic: they are not only Jews or Europeans. It's true that in the Old Testament God chose Abram for Himself and established His covenant of grace with him and his seed. That's why the Old Testament tags specifically the people of Israel as God's people - in distinction from the Moabites and the Egyptians and the Greeks, etc. But when God first set Abram apart for Himself, He straightaway said God would make Israel a blessing for the nations (cf Gen 12:3). So the Lord also took a Rahab from the Canaanites and engrafted her into the people of God. And God took a Ruth from the Moabites and engrafted her also into the people of God. Indeed, the Holy Spirit moved the prophet Zechariah to announce that "Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people" (2:11; cf Is 45:23). That includes the Europeans of the world and the Arabs of today! With the death of Christ on the cross the dividing wall God had placed between Jews and Gentiles was broken down (Eph 2:11ff). So when Jesus before His ascension told His disciples that all authority had been given to the Son in heaven and on earth (for the whole world is Christ's kingdom), the disciples were therefore to go and make disciples of "all nations" (Mt 28:19f). Peoples of every tribe and tongue and race on earth must to be told of the saving work of God in Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of their sins and their redemption from the judgment of God. For God has elected persons of every tribe and tongue and race, and given them to the Son. So the disciples did according to Christ's command; they preached the gospel throughout the world - and so churches were established throughout the known world of those days.
Before I draw out this thought further, brothers and sisters, in terms of today's world, I need to explain the link between Christ's sovereignty in heaven and the labors of the apostles. I do so by referring to the passage we read from Acts 16.
The apostles, says that chapter, went "through Phrygia and the region of Galatia," but "they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia" (vs 6). Again, "they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them" (vs 7). We need to know: the Spirit is always the Spirit of Christ. That is: through the Spirit the ascended Christ did not permit His messengers to preach the word in Asia and Bithynia. Instead, through His Spirit Christ directed His apostles to Troas. In Troas the Lord gave Paul a vision of a man pleading him to come to Macedonia. So Paul went, and began to preach the word in Philippi. And behold: "a certain woman named Lydia heard us.. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul" (vss 14f). "The Lord": that's the ascended Christ (cf Acts 2:36). This woman came to faith. Why did she come to faith? Because she was one of those whom the Father had chosen to life before the foundation of the world, and therefore one of those whom the Father had given to the Son! Yet she could not benefit from Christ's saving work until she came to faith. And faith comes from the Holy Spirit through the preaching.. So Christ from heaven above sent preachers to Philippi to bring her the good news..
Do you see, beloved, how Christ is at work here? Yes, He has ascended into heaven, and from His throne He governs the world. But He governs with His people in mind! So Christ through His Spirit forbade Paul from preaching in Bithynia and Asia (for there were in those regions none whom the Father had given to the Son who now had to hear the gospel!); Christ instead sent Paul to Philippi because in that town there were those whom the Father had given to the Son and they should now come to faith. This is the point the church confess in the Canons of Dort, Chap 1, Art 3, pg 532. Here the church echoes God's revelation like this:
"So that men may be brought to faith, God mercifully sends heralds of this most joyful message to whom He will and when He wills. By their ministry men are called to repentance and to faith in Christ crucified."
Let it be fixed in our minds, congregation: that preachers go out with the word of God to this nation and that town is not the work of men, but is Christ at work. It is Christ gathering His church!
The point is important. We confessed with Lord's Day 19 that our Savior is in heaven, and that from heaven He directs the events of world history. But whatever He does in world history is done with a view to His church-gathering work. The Father had given certain persons in Philippi to the Son, and so the ascended Christ directed the events of history in such a way His apostles would not go to Bithynia and Asia, but would go instead to Philippi. Again, because the Father had given certain persons in Philippi to the Son, the ascended Christ saw to it that language would not be a hindrance for the preaching of the gospel; though the gospel came from Judea, Christ chose a preacher fluent in the language and culture of Greece - where Philippi was located.
Christ's divine leadership in history was not limited to those days. Today still the Lord leads world history in such a way that preachers can bring the gospel to those whom the Father has given to the Son. It may well be that the turbulence in the Middle East today will prepare the way for preachers to preach the gospel amongst the Arabs; there may be those whom the Father has given to the Son, and so the Son works opening for the preaching in that part of the world. However that may be, the fact of the matter is that Christ is busy causing the gospel to go to all those whom the Father has given to Him - of every tribe and tongue and nation. That's His church-gathering work.
Acts 16 tells us another aspect of Christ's church-gathering work. After Lydia and her household were baptized, Paul and Silas ended up in prison. Through an earthquake and the preaching that followed, the jailer also came to faith. In other words: the Father had given this jailer also to the Son, and so the Son caused the Word of life to cut across the jailer's life and meet with faith in his heart. After the apostles' release from prison we read this amazing conclusion: they "entered the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they encouraged them and departed" (vs 40).
My point is this. Christ has worked faith in Lydia, has worked faith also in the jailer. But after the departure of the apostle, Christ does not desert these two persons. Yes, He has worked faith in their hearts, and now He continues His work with them. There is no indication that Lydia and the jailer knew each other before they came to faith. There is no indication either that the two of them lived in the same part of the city. But after Paul's release from prison he returned to Lydia's house, and there met the brethren - says vs 40. You see, the Lord Jesus Christ, after He had worked faith in these two persons, brought them together. And He did that not once, but time and time again. Here is more of the Savior's church-gathering work; these people of Philippi in whom He worked faith are not deserted, nor left as so many regenerated individuals scattered across town, each separate from each other. No, the Christ who caused the gospel to come to them now gathers them together to be His church in that town. The church is not all the elect of God scattered as so many regenerated individuals over the face of the earth; the very word 'church' means literally in the Greek language an 'assembly', a 'gathering' (cf Acts 19:32,39,41).
This work of Christ in Philippi whereby He gathered together those in whom He worked faith became a pattern in every town where there were persons whom the Father had given to the Son. From Philippi the apostles traveled on to Thessalonica, and preached the word. And there also those persons who were chosen to life before the foundation of the world came to faith. These believers did not remain as so many islands to themselves in Thessalonica, for the ascended Christ gathered them together to form His church in Thessalonica, the assembly of His people. So the apostle Paul could write a letter "to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 1:1). The same happened in Berea and in Athens and in Corinth, and the other places where the Father had given elect persons to the Son. Always, brothers and sisters, this is Christ at work; it is He who sovereignly, graciously, sends His servants to preach, works faith, and gathers the elect together. All of it is His church-gathering work
That's a work that continues in the course of church history, that continues today too, even in Australia, yes, in Kelmscott. We're so used to being church, so used to coming to church, but it's to be fixed in our minds that what we see here Sunday by Sunday is the work of the exalted Christ! From heaven above He is busy in Kelmscott, and in Albany and in Amsterdam and in countless places around the world, some known to us and many unknown. He has His elect, those whom the Father has given to the Son, and so He sent His preachers to proclaim the gospel and these elect came to faith; more, then Christ gathers these believers together to form His church in that town. Please, beloved, let us not get used to it, but let us marvel instead: Christ is busy in November 2002, is busy all over the world causing the word of life to be preached here, there and everywhere where there are persons whom the Father has given to the Son. Christ is busy even in our little corner of the globe, in Kelmscott, and we are allowed to see something of His work with our own eyes - here, today! We see it, more, we're even allowed to be part of it - how amazing!! And how encouraging!
I said at the beginning of the sermon that there's a measure of confusion in relation to the doctrine of the church. I trust, now, that this much is clear (and it's a critical point!): the church is not the work of men! The church consists of people, yes, but it is not the product of people. The Holy Spirit draws our attention to Christ, we said last week, and it is in the church that we see very concretely something of what Christ is doing today. The Christ who died on the cross and today governs the world from the Father's right hand has gathered and is gathering into one assembly the people whom the Father has given to Him, elect persons from every tribe and tongue and race. It's this gathering of those who trust in Christ that constitutes the church. That's why the Belgic Confession describes the church as it does in Art 27. Says this confession concerning the church (pg 462):
"[It] is a holy congregation and assembly of the true Christian believers, who expect their entire salvation in Jesus Christ, are washed by His blood, and are sanctified and sealed by the Holy Spirit."
Christ takes the believers and brings them together, and that body of believers is His church in a given place. He gathers His people together anywhere on the face of the earth, and that's what caught with the term 'catholic'. The term means 'universal', and the point is that Christ does His church gathering work anywhere around the world - in Kelmscott and in Albany and in Amsterdam and in so many other places known to us or unknown. Again in the words of Art 27:
"Moreover, this holy church is not confined or limited to one particular place or to certain persons, but is spread and dispersed throughout the entire world. However, it is joined and united with heart and will, in one and the same Spirit, by the power of faith."
Here is the fulfillment of passages of Scripture as Zech 2, the passage I quoted before, where the Lord says that "Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people" (2:11). Persons of every tribe and tongue and race have been chosen by the Father and given to the Son, and that is why there is no place for any form of racism amongst the people of God; Christ is busy anywhere in the world gathering His own together. It's for us to see it, to take encouragement from it, and so to acknowledge that persons of other tribes and cultures are our brothers and sisters in Christ, washed by one blood, joined and united with us to the one Christ.
Today so much brokenness can keep the people of God apart, can prevent so much understanding and respect for Christ's worldwide church-gathering work. But on the day of Christ's return all the brokenness will end; on His great day we'll all congregate together and together sing the praises of the Lamb who died for us all and gathers that catholic church! In the brokenness of this life, it's for this day that the church longs so eagerly!
I come to our second point:
The ascended Lord, then, gathers His church. Around the world He takes His own Sunday by Sunday from their houses and beds, and brings them together around His word. But how does He do that? How, concretely, did the Lord bring you church today?
He does that, brothers and sisters, by activating our responsibility. He gives us the command to gather together, to go to church. In the Old Testament already the Lord told His people that on the Sabbath day they had to gather together. Lev 23: "the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation" (vs 3), "a sacred assembly" (NIV). After Jesus' ascension the New Testament church did precisely that; on the Day of Pentecost -the first day of the week- the believers of Jerusalem "were all with one accord in one place" (Acts 2:1). In the rest of the New Testament you find that very pattern; the believers came together on the first day of the week (cf Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 16:2; Rev 1:10). So the apostle can give this instruction to the Hebrews: "Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together, as is the manner of some" (Heb 10:25). It's on the basis of material as this that the church confesses in Lord's Day 38, about the fourth commandment, that "especially on the day of rest I diligently attend the church of God." You see: Christ in heaven gathers His church on earth, and does so by giving us the command to leave our homes Sunday by Sunday and come to church. He gives us no option here; He wants His people together, and He brings that about by activating our responsibility.
So we have this picture, brothers and sisters. On the one hand we marvel at the work the Lord is doing in today's world, a work that reaches across the globe and extends even into our own community, yes, that touches even ourselves. We marvel at His church gathering work, and we praise Him for it. At the same time we recognize the way in which the Lord is pleased to operate and take the consequences seriously, that is, we recognize that the Lord gathers His church through us obeying His commands. So, exactly because we delight in His church gathering work in our modern world, we make it our business to gather along with Him. We make it our business to bring ourselves together, to come to church Sunday by Sunday. This is what the church confesses in Art 28 of the Belgic Confession:
"We believe, since this holy assembly and congregation is the assembly of the redeemed and there is no salvation outside of it, that no one ought to withdraw from it, content to be by himself, no matter what his status or standing may be. But all and everyone are obliged to join it and unite with it.."
Notice the strong words of the confession here. "All and everyone are obliged to join" this holy assembly and congregation - that's the gathering of God's people as we see it Sunday by Sunday, and no one is permitted to withdraw from it. Joining: that's not a matter of including your name in a membership register (as if the church is some sort of a club); no, joining is first of all a reference to coming together when the Lord calls His people together, and that's Sunday by Sunday. "All . who draw away from the church or fail to join it act contrary to the ordinance of God."
Yes, that's strong language. The Father has given certain people to the Son, and these persons the Son does not leave as so many isolated individuals in their various homes across town, but rather He gathers them together for their edification and worship of God. Because Christ is at work in gathering His church, no one has the right to refuse to come together; all are obliged to heed Christ's church gathering work in Kelmscott and so gather along with Christ, take seriously the responsibility the Lord has given us. That's so because the church is Christ's work.
Then I realize well that any assembly of the redeemed will remain riddled with faults. If Paul can say to the Romans that he can will what is right but can't do because of the sin that remains in him (Rom 7), shall we be surprised, or even offended, when we see faults in each other? No, I do not say that we have to ignore each other's faults; we certainly have a duty to encourage each other to ever greater holiness. But at the same time we need to keep in mind that the church is Christ's work, and He is pleased to gather sinners together, not perfect people. He knows that I have faults, yet He brings me here. He knows that you have faults, yet He brings you here too. Even while we encourage each other in the Lord's service, we keep our eye first and foremost on the Christ-who-gathers-you-and-me-together, and as long as we keep our eye on Christ we shall not stumble over each other's remaining weaknesses. But once the eye is off of Christ, the sins we see in each other become offensive, and the temptation so great to withdraw from the church and to try to find a more holy gathering of believers, or one where we feel more comfortable. But that's not the way the Head of the Church wants it! Our eye is to stay on Him, and therefore wait patiently for Him to perfect the church. That will happen on the last day, for that's when we will be delivered of this body of death - so inclined as it still is to sin. Meanwhile, we recognize Christ's work in our midst, and for His sake we join and continue to join the gathering He works, Sunday by Sunday.
But that raises another question. Where are we to go to gather with the saints of God? There is in Kelmscott any number of buildings opening their doors on Sunday for public worship, all with the term 'church' on the building or a nearby sign. On Railway Ave there's a Roman Catholic Church, on Third Ave a Baptist Church, on the top end of Lake Road the Church of Christ, here the Free Reformed Church, also on Railway Ave the Westminster Presbyterian Church. What's my responsibility here: where would Christ have me to gather with His people? May I take my pick? May I go where my friends are? Where I feel comfortable?
The answer, brothers and sisters, is determined by whether my eye is on Christ or not. It's the emphasis of Scripture, it's the emphasis on our Lord's Day, it's the emphasis of this sermon: the church is Christ's work. Then yes, we have a responsibility, and that is that we gather where Christ is, where He is sovereign, where people (as much as possible in this fallen world) do not get in the way of Christ being at work. So the people He uses in His work must submit themselves with all their strength and insight to His revealed will. This is the point of the well-known three marks of Art 29. The gathering I must join is that which
". practices the pure preaching of the gospel. It maintains the pure administration of the sacraments as Christ instituted them. It exercises church discipline for correcting and punishing sins. In short, it governs itself according to the pure Word of God, rejecting all things contrary to it and regarding Jesus Christ as the only Head. Hereby the true church can certainly be known and no one has the right to separate from it."
That's why we gather here in this place. As far as we can tell, here Christ reigns and all is done (again, as much as possible in this broken world) in accordance with Christ's will.
And those who do not gather with us, who attend other churches of town or perchance don't go to church at all? Are they necessarily unbelievers or non-elect people? No, beloved, no! In the brokenness of this fallen world there are persons whom the Father has given to the Son who do not go to church where they ought. That is a truth as true as the fact that there are hypocrites within the Free Reformed Church. I stress the point for two reasons. The first is that we are not to think evil of all those who attend another church. They do wrong, it's a fact (for the Lord would have them gather where He calls), but that gives us no right to look down our nose at them. Despite our best efforts, we do not do everything right either. The second reason for stressing the point is that we are not to think that our being Free Reformed is evidence that we will be saved. Only those have forgiveness of sins and will inherit life eternal who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and going to a particular church is not of itself evidence of faith. Here we all need to examine ourselves as to why we attend the particular church we attend.
The church. There's confusion about what the church is, and so where the church is. That's simply because the eye is taken off of Christ and the work He is doing, and the eye is shifted to people. But alas, as soon as one looks at people one sees faults., and the longer one is with a particular group of people, the more faults one sees.. Then the temptation is great to move along to a new group, less known, and therefore less offensive.. But people are people, always imperfect, always annoying.. In the course of time one will see more faults., and so one moves again..
The church. The Holy Spirit would have us look at Christ. When our eye is firmly fixed on Him, we see Him at work, around the world and even in our community. He never disappoints, and so we know where to go to church, where to hear Jesus' word - the bread of life. Amen.

I remember joking with colleagues when Michael Grade was appointed as CEO of ITV plc, the UK's dominant national commercial broadcaster, that it was a job twenty years ago which I would have totally aspired to and now I wouldn't touch with a bargepole (even in the unlikely event that I was asked, of course).
Certainly, Grade has made huge improvements to the company's programming, but their online initiatives are predictable. Rather than learning from the lessons they learnt when multi-channel came along, they've gone down a dark alleyway again. There's only so far you can take simulcasting and you're basically cannibalising your own audience.
If any company could be benefiting from the long tail, it's ITV. They could be leveraging their back catalogue and relationships, along with their powerful sales machine. But apart from hyperlocal service, ITV Local, which will take three of four more years to find traction, they are trying to hang on to their mass audiences rather than recognising that the future for television is the same as the future for publishing was in the mid eighties.
They're not big enough to play with the international players like NewsCorp, but they are big enough to buy saturated services like Friends Reunited only to see them implode.
ITV plc don't get online and for all their CEO's inimitable abilities, the radical move they need is too much for such a traditional business. And where has the 4% of revenue lost by ITV gone? Well, that's easy to answer - to the ultimate long tail business, Google.
In the spirit of the biggest cliche in current TV parlance, they should be getting more 360. Buying Magicalia and adding a strong video element would be a great first step.

"Pssst, see that guard!! Yeah, that one! Sic em."
Today I joined a few local photographers for a shoot at the New Mexico sate pennitentiary.
We shot some models. There were a lot of models, I did not get enough time to shoot them all. I think over all I did ok with my shots. Ariel is wearing the wedding dress and Crystal is wearing the black dress.
"Ladies in Black at the Chamber"
These two models were Crystal and Ariel, they did good. Crystal was very good, she has modeled before. Ariel is new to the modeling business, this being her second shoot but looks like a quick lerner. It was very cold in the empty prison walls and both models were good in good spirit, doing everything they could for a good shot.
Well I created a new blog and this is my first post.
I really don't know why, I can't keep up with my other ones, but I plan on keeping this one on different topics than the other ones. I usually use the others one to talk about my photographs, perhaps I can use this one for commentary and to express my thoughts on issues.
By the way this is a picture of a photo shoot I did for the "runaway" theme. Just wanted to post a picture to test it out!
Stay tune for other posts, I will try to post as often as I can.
This is from Mom's 80 year birthday party in September 5, 2009.


7:30am At Ras Atya checkpoint, one bus is already waiting, the bus we were following stops behind it. Two soldiers (actually, a soldier and a female military police officer) go on the bus, inspect each seat. I see them through the bus windows, the children are peeping out (top photo). It will take some ten minutes until the buses are allowed to go on. The school-teachers cross the checkpoint by foot.
This scene is surprisingly banal: a father takes his son out of the car, the son crosses the checkpoint by foot, I see a schoolbag dangling between the barbed-wire fences (middle photo, also note the soldiers and workers, who passed the checkpoint, crossing in the other direction). The father is also following him with his eyes, and when the son has crossed the checkpoint, the father does a u-turn. Shortly after, another father arrives, two siblings dismount the car. The older sister lends a hand to her younger brother, she is standing right beside me and I see her taking a deep breath, concentrating, and they cross the checkpoint (bottom photo). A few minutes later I hear hollers from the schoolyard. Another school day begins.

Interdisciplinarity involves the combining of two or more academic disciplines into one activity (e.g., a research project). It is about creating something new by crossing boundaries, and thinking across them. It is related to an interdiscipline or an interdisciplinary field, which is an organizational unit that crosses traditional boundaries between academic disciplines or schools of thought, as new needs and professions emerge.
The term interdisciplinary is applied within education and training pedagogies to describe studies that use methods and insights of several established disciplines or traditional fields of study. Interdisciplinarity involves researchers, students, and teachers in the goals of connecting and integrating several academic schools of thought, professions, or technologies—along with their specific perspectives—in the pursuit of a common task. The epidemiology of AIDS or global warming require understanding of diverse disciplines to solve complex problems. Interdisciplinary may be applied where the subject is felt to have been neglected or even misrepresented in the traditional disciplinary structure of research institutions, for example, women's studies or ethnic area studies. Interdisciplinarity can likewise be applied to complex subjects that can only be understood by combining the perspectives of two or more fields.
Although interdisciplinary and interdisciplinarity are frequently viewed as twentieth century terms, the concept has historical antecedents, most notably Greek philosophy. Julie Thompson Klein attests that "the roots of the concepts lie in a number of ideas that resonate through modern discourse—the ideas of a unified science, general knowledge, synthesis and the integration of knowledge," while Giles Gunn says that Greek historians and dramatists took elements from other realms of knowledge (such as medicine or philosophy) to further understand their own material. Any broadminded humanist project involves interdisciplinarity, and history shows a crowd of cases, as seventeenth-century Leibniz's task to create a system of universal justice, which required linguistics, economics, management, ethics, law philosophy, politics, and even sinology.
Interdisciplinary programs sometimes arise from a shared conviction that the traditional disciplines are unable or unwilling to address an important problem. For example, social science disciplines such as anthropology and sociology paid little attention to the social analysis of technology throughout most of the twentieth century. As a result, many social scientists with interests in technology have joined science and technology studies programs, which are typically staffed by scholars drawn from numerous disciplines. They may also arise from new research developments, such as nanotechnology, which cannot be addressed without combining the approaches of two or more disciplines. Examples include quantum information processing, an amalgamation of quantum physics and computer science, and bioinformatics, combining molecular biology with computer science. Sustainable development as a research area deals with problems requiring analysis and synthesis across economic, social and environmental spheres; often an integration of multiple social and natural science disciplines. Interdisciplinary research is also key to the study of health sciences, for example in studying optimal solutions to diseases. Some institutions of higher education offer accredited degree programs in Interdisciplinary Studies.
At another level, interdisciplinarity is seen as a remedy to the harmful effects of excessive specialization. On some views, however, interdisciplinarity is entirely indebted to those who specialize in one field of study—that is, without specialists, interdisciplinarians would have no information and no leading experts to consult. Others place the focus of interdisciplinarity on the need to transcend disciplines, viewing excessive specialization as problematic both epistemologically and politically. When interdisciplinary collaboration or research results in new solutions to problems, much information is given back to the various disciplines involved. Therefore, both disciplinarians and interdisciplinarians may be seen in complementary relation to one another.
Because most participants in interdisciplinary ventures were trained in traditional disciplines, they must learn to appreciate differing of perspectives and methods. For example, a discipline that places more emphasis on quantitative "rigor" may produce practitioners who think of themselves (and their discipline) as "more scientific" than others; in turn, colleagues in "softer" disciplines may associate quantitative approaches with an inability to grasp the broader dimensions of a problem. An interdisciplinary program may not succeed if its members remain stuck in their disciplines (and in disciplinary attitudes). On the other hand, and from the disciplinary perspective, much interdisciplinary work may be seen as "soft," lacking in rigor, or ideologically motivated; these beliefs place barriers in the career paths of those who choose interdisciplinary work. For example, interdisciplinary grant applications are often refereed by peer reviewers drawn from established disciplines; not surprisingly, interdisciplinary researchers may experience difficulty getting funding for their research. In addition, untenured researchers know that, when they seek promotion and tenure, it is likely that some of the evaluators will lack commitment to interdisciplinarity. They may fear that making a commitment to interdisciplinary research will increase the risk of being denied tenure.
Due to these and other barriers, interdisciplinary research areas are strongly motivated to become disciplines themselves. If they succeed, they can establish their own research funding programs and make their own tenure and promotion decisions. In so doing, they lower the risk of entry. Examples of former interdisciplinary research areas that have become disciplines include neuroscience, cybernetics, biochemistry and biomedical engineering. These new fields are occasionally referred to as "interdisciplines". On the other hand, even though interdisciplinary activities are now a focus of attention for institutions promoting learning and teaching, as well as organizational and social entities concerned with education, they are practically facing complex barriers, serious challenges and criticism. The most important obstacles and challenges faced by interdisciplinary activities in the past two decades can be divided into "professional", "organizational", and "cultural" obstacles.
An initial distinction should be made between interdisciplinary studies, which can be found spread across the academy today, and the study of interdisciplinarity, which involves a much smaller group of researchers. The former is instantiated in thousands of research centers across the US and the world. The latter has one US organization, the Association for Interdisciplinary Studies (founded in 1979), two international organizations, the International Network of Inter- and Transdisciplinarity (founded in 2010) and the Philosophy of/as Interdisciplinarity Network (founded in 2009), and one research institute devoted to the theory and practice of interdisciplinarity, the Center for the Study of Interdisciplinarity at the University of North Texas (founded in 2008).
Since 1998, there has been an ascendancy in the value of the concept and practice of interdisciplinary research and teaching and a growth in the number of bachelor's degrees awarded at U.S. universities classified as multi- or interdisciplinary studies. The number of interdisciplinary bachelor's degrees awarded annually rose from 7,000 in 1973 to 30,000 a year by 2005 according to data from the National Center of Educational Statistics (NECS). In addition, educational leaders from the Boyer Commission to Carnegie's President Vartan Gregorian to Alan I. Leshner, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science have advocated for interdisciplinary rather than disciplinary approaches to problem solving in the 21st century. This has been echoed by federal funding agencies, particularly the NIH under the Direction of Elias Zerhouni, who have advocated that grant proposals be framed more as interdisciplinary collaborative projects than single researcher, single discipline ones. At the same time, many thriving longstanding bachelors in interdisciplinary studies programs in existence for 30 or more years, have been closed down, in spite of healthy enrollment. Examples include Arizona International (formerly part of the University of Arizona), the School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Miami University, and the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Wayne State University; others such as the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Appalachian State University, and George Mason University's New Century College, have been cut back. Stuart Henry has seen this trend as part of the hegemony of the disciplines in their attempt to recolonize the experimental knowledge production of otherwise marginalized fields of inquiry. This is due to threat perceptions seemingly based on the ascendancy of interdisciplinary studies against traditional academia.

Every vegetable that is passed from our hands to yours has been under our special care. From seed to customer, we are watching over your food.
We are not industrial; we're not factory farmers; we're a small-scale family farm. We are labour intensive and do all our own hand weeding, picking and packaging. We are committed to ecological and socially responsible farm practices. We are committed to searching for alternatives to the use of chemicals wherever possible.
Our farming practices involve using specific conventional treatments minimally and cautiously. Every year we work towards bettering the conditions of our soils by doing a variety of responsible things; growing cover crops, adding nitrogen, and composting. We take great care with our farming methods. Land stewardship is very important to us. For three generations (and we're on to the fourth!), we've tilled the soil on this farm, producing healthy, local food for families in the Edmonton area. We believe the land is a gift we need to responsibly care for so that it may continue to provide us with healthy fresh food, now and in the future.
Why is Edmonton a great place to grow food?
Part of what makes us successful is our unique location. We are located in North East Edmonton's River valley. We have access to market, customers in Edmonton, the river for irrigation and several unique soil qualities. We have two types of soil on our farm, one sandy loam great for our root crops, and another heavier type of soil perfect for our brassica crops. We have a unique microclimate in Northeast Edmonton that allows us to provide produce early in the season, and have later frost in the fall. This, combined with our northern climate's long days, allows for us to have a long growing season.
At Riverbend Gardens not only are we maintaining natural resources and protecting the environment, we are also striving to improve relationships with our local communities. We are proud to be local and produce food for families in the Edmonton area with a minimal carbon imprint. We are committed to giving back to our community by providing educational spaces for City Farm, the Native healing centre, and Lady Flower Gardens. City Farm offered children and youth an opportunity to experience agriculture, incorporating adventure play, child and leadership development and rich experiential educational activities. The Native Healing Centre's goal is to journey alongside the urban Aboriginal population reconnecting people to culture and ceremony.

Maersk Drilling to enter a contract with Shell for the completion of a multi-well program estimated to start in Jan 2018
Shell is set to kick off a drilling campaign at Trinidad early in the next year after signing a contract with the Danish offshore driller giant, Maersk Drilling. Reportedly, the latter has been awarded the contract by Shell for Maersk Developer, the semi-submersible deepwater rig that was built in 2009. The deal includes drilling and the completion of three wells and the suspension of one well located in the East Coast Marine Area. Commencing from January 2018, the duration is estimated to last for eight to nine months, with options available for period extension. The contract also covers the provision of additional integrated in-field services by the drilling rig operator.
Maersk Drilling is highly optimistic toward this strategic partnership with the global energy leader, Shell, for the multi well program. The Anglo-Dutch mammoth is looking forward to contributing diligently to the project, while integrating Maersk Developer's advanced hi-tech drilling capabilities, as stated by the company's spokesperson. Undoubtedly, this is one of the biggest pacts in the oil and gas industry, involving two of the top giants. Reported, Maersk Developer is currently placed in Aruba, having completed Repsol's drilling campaign in June 2017.
While already having established a partnership with Shell, Maersk Drilling is also reported to concurrently enter two contract extensions with Wintershall Noordzee B.V. and Petrogas E&P, Netherlands for their high-efficiency jack-up drilling platforms - Maersk Resolve and Maersk Resolute respectively. The contract duration with Wintershall Noordzee was initially termed to 86 days. With additional options included, the deal has been extended to a minimum period of 160-190 days, cite reliable sources. Maersk Drilling's extension of the contract with Petrogas E&P covers additional plug and abandonment activities at the Q1 Halfweg platform, lengthening the duration from 95 days to a total of 140 days. The total duration of both the agreements has currently been extended to 150 days. Analysts state that the North Sea belt being the most lucrative business space for Maersk Drilling, the company is likely to remain staunchly committed to both Petrogas and Wintershall Noordzee, offering a safe and efficient rig operation.
Maersk Drilling has already nailed its stake in the oil and gas industry by collaborating with innumerous oil and gas mammoths over the recent years. With the company's recent announcement of entering an agreement with a global leader like Shell, the driller seems to lead the pack among its contractor peers in the upstream oil and gas industry.

President Donald Trump has been traveling in Asia for nearly two weeks – wrapping up the last day of his trip today. His final stop was the Philippines, following the APEC leaders' summit meeting in Vietnam. And while a lot of publicity from those two gatherings revolved around Trump, it was also a critical week of diplomacy for China. HPR's Bill Dorman has more in today's Asia Minute.

(As you've been hearing today on NPR,) Chinese President Xi Jinping is starting two days of meetings with President Trump today in Florida. The list of potential agenda items is extensive, and is getting wide coverage in the U.S. media. But what about the view from Asia? HPR's Bill Dorman has some perspectives in today's Asia Minute.
Pacific News Minute: China Develops Cult of Personality Around President Xi Jinping

A rap video featuring President Xi Jinping is soaring to the top of the charts in China. It's called "The Reform Group Is Two Years Old" - and samples the anti-corruption speeches of "Big Daddy Xi." As we hear from Neal Conan in the Pacific News Minute, it's just the latest sign of a growing cult of personality.

If you've been listening to the radio, watching television, or reading newspapers this week, you've probably come across a lot of coverage about the Pope's travels in the United States. But you may have heard a lot less about the President of China—who arrived the same day. HPR's Bill Dorman fills you in on some details in today's Asia Minute.
Xi Jinping's first big event in America was a policy speech, which got a lot of coverage...in Asia.
Xi ruled out a short-term currency devaluation saying, "there is no basis for continuous depreciation."

House Committee on Aquaculture and Fisheries approves HB760
PROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur -- The House Committee on Aquaculture and Fisheries has finally approved House Bill No. 760 (HB760) otherwise known as an "Act of Establishing Freshwater Fish Hatchery in the Municipality of Talacogon, Agusan del Sur", which was filed by Representative Alfel Bascug of the First District and Representative Adolph Edward Plaza of the Second District of Agusan del Sur on July 1, 2022, pending with the Committee on Aquaculture and Fisheries since July 27, 2022, in support to the previous Bill filed by Rep. Bascug.
Bascug
It can be recalled that on August 27, 2020, the House Committee on Aquaculture and Fisheries Resources has also approved HB 6428 otherwise known as "Act Establishing Freshwater Aquaculture Center" in the Municipality of Talacogon and appropriate funds were also provided.
Rep. Bascug expressed his gratitude by thanking the chairperson of the House Committee on Aquaculture and Fisheries, saying he is pleased to announce that the budget has already been made available by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the technical staff has already visited the site in Agusan del Sur. Because of this, Rep. Bascug added the province is a step closer to achieving its goal of establishing a hatchery that would really boost the aquaculture industry in Agusan del Sur.
Rep. Bascug also thanked the strong support of Senator Cynthia Villar through her filing of Senate Bill No. (SBN) 122 supporting the establishment of a hatchery in the Municipality of Talacogon.
"Soon, because of our efforts of establishing more hatchery in our province, we will reap the fruits of our vision and enjoy our gains," said Rep. Bascug. (David M. Suyao, PPIO-Agusan del Sur/PIA-Agusan del Sur)

Advisory: This show contains explicit, sexual and sacrilegious content by both humans and puppets.
Tyrone has long desired to be on stage and feels like this, his stage debut, is a part that was made for him. In his spare time, Tyrone likes singing, swearing and swimming though he takes an awfully long time to dry. His favourite stroke is the breaststroke. He hasn't really enjoyed working with the rest of the cast and plans to move to Hollywood following the show, to further his acting career with the likes of Miss Piggy, his movie idol.
After a four-year hiatus from the stage while she focused on her writing career, Kate is thrilled to be returning in Hand to God – not least because this show allows her to channel (for about five seconds) her life-long love of The Muppets. Previous acting roles include Fabiana in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Paulina in The Winter's Tale and Beatrice-Joanna in The Changeling. Kate has also directed for KDC, with her production of These Shining Lives inspiring her New York Times bestseller The Radium Girls. Follow her on Twitter @katebooks.
This is Grace's fourth production with KDC, as she has previously performed in What Keeps Me Awake, Otherwordly and Salomé. She thoroughly enjoys performing, recently playing the role of Miranda in NSFW by Lucy Kirkwood at the Camden Fringe and the Edinburgh Fringe festivals. Prior to that, she performed in and directed a number of plays at university, such as A Chorus Line and Romeo and Juliet. Outside of acting, she is an English teacher at a secondary school in West London. Grace would like to thank KDC for letting her do another show, and to the lovely cast of Hand to God.
2019 is Govind's 10 year anniversary with KDC and to celebrate he is going to write the remainder of this bio in the first person. I have loved every KDC production I've been involved in but this is something truly different. I'm not going to say a word. Just watch, and enjoy.
This is Nick's 9th time on stage for KDC, having also worked on a number of other shows as director and assistant director. More recent shows include Bones and Othello. Whilst he has relished the challenge of playing a foul mouthed puppet as well as his owner, he does look forward to a life without talking to himself like a crazy person every evening in his dual roles! This one has certainly been a heck of a ride…!
Neil is very excited to be performing again at the Barons Court Theatre, having previously appeared here in A Clockwork Orange, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Last Days of Judas Iscariot. As a young lad growing up in the North East, Neil spent his days riding the coal truck to school and dreaming of a life after gas lamps. In 1996 he realised his dream of landing a part in the multi-award-winning series Byker Grove, and he's never looked back.

Keeping Company
The most basic connection response is "Keeping Company:" the art of being a tenderhearted witness who listens attentively and compassionately to your own or someone else's feelings without saying how to feel or what to do. Keeping company with someone means being fully heart-present to them in ways that encourage them to explore, resolve and learn from their inner reactions. (Eugene Gendlin, the originator of an extremely important discernment development tool called Focusing, coined the term "keeping company.")
~David Gruder, Ph.D, The New I.Q.
Love and Attachment From Cradle to Beyond the Grave
It is amazing to me how a sense of secure attachment can extend beyond the grave. I was lucky enough to have a mother who loved me when she was alive so much so that I feel it even in her absence. My goal for clients, and hope as a therapist, is to promote this type of feeling and attachment.
My reflection, "Listening to our handyman speak Portuguese to one of his workers or maybe Spanish with a Portuguese accent, sounds like music to my ears. It must be reminding me of the sounds and rhythmes of my mother's voice and of her lullabies when I was a baby. Portuguese was her first language and she had only been here a few years before I was born. It is strange the sense of peace I feel listening from a distance. I think, 'Don't stop talking.' I feel so soothed and calmed."
I think I must have had some kind of a pre-verbal memory as I was not close enough to hear the distinction of the words but only the muffled sing song melody of the voice. I guess like an infant might hear. I was then flooded with a very calm and peaceful feeling and a deep sense of knowing that I was loved not only by her but by God. It was very profound and spiritual, an experience I wish all could have.
My mother's birthday is the 23rd. She always seems to send me a message from beyond that she still cares for me and loves me, usually around or on her birthday. I feel blessed and so wanted to share.

Don't Forget to Share the Joy
"Happiness is the only thing that multiples when you share it." ~Albert Schweitzer, a German physician and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Several years ago I started having severe pain in my neck and shoulder. I have some disk issues in my neck, which a steroid shot seemed to help. But my shoulder problem had been pretty unresponsive to convention medicine. My pain was chronic and often a 10 on the subjective units of distress scale.The culprit: bone spurs.
I really was not up to even thinking about surgery. So, the physical therapist recommended strengthening my upper body. To a girl who never has even tried to do a push up, this did not sound very fun. No, not at all. But, I had to do something. My solution was to start Vinyasa yoga at Xplore Yoga. This type of yoga has many upper body strengthening postures. It was perfect for my goals. And now, I am happy to say that after just over a year of practicing I am completely pain free in my shoulder.
Being out of pain is great but the really cool and fun part about all of this is that I can do all kinds of things I never ever dreamed of doing at my age. Several months ago I accomplished dolphin forearm stand for the first time. I was so excited and happy and shocked that I could do this pose, I got a fellow yogi to take a picture of me in the posture and stared sharing it with just about anybody who was willing to look at it. I was so happy.
Then a funny thing started to happen. Even though everyone I shared with was genuinely happy for me in my accomplishments after my excitement died down, I started to feel this slight awkward feeling of, "Oh God. Have I shared too much of my happiness? Maybe I should have kept my joy to myself? People probably don't really want to know about this."
Whoops. Too late.
Today I learned from a listserv I am on that a study showed that sharing our joy or happiness is good for everybody as long as there is positive feedback. It may even cause the joy to multiple. A colleague shared a recent study by Nathaniel Lambert and colleagues at Brigham Young University as to why this may be. Their research shows that discussing positive experiences leads to heightened well-being, increased overall life satisfaction and even more energy.

Someone sent to me this by email on Stress Management . . .
A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'... She fooled them all .... "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile. Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. To 20 oz.
She replied , "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced. So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... Pick them up tomorrow.
I would add ask a friend to help you carry the glass of water don't go it alone as Ecclesiastes says, "Two are better than one because they have good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help. Again, if two lie together, they keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? And although one might prevail against another, two will withstand one. A threefold cord is not quickly broken."

Massachusetts Court Discusses Notice Required to Cancel a Workers' Compensation Policy
Published on: November 9, 2021 | The Law Office of James K. Meehan
It is well-established that employees who suffer injuries while working typically can recover workers' compensation benefits from their employers. Employers generally do not carry the risk of having to pay their employees such benefits, though. Instead, they usually purchase workers' compensation insurance. If an employer fails to pay its insurance premiums, however, it can impact a claimant's right to recover benefits. Recently, a Massachusetts court discussed what notice an insurer who wishes to cancel a workers' compensation policy due to non-payment of premium must provide to its insured, in a matter in which it was disputed who bore responsibility for the claimant's benefits. If you suffered injuries at work, you might be owed benefits, and you should speak to a Massachusetts workers' compensation attorney as soon as possible.
The Facts of the Case
Allegedly, the claimants suffered injuries while working for their employer, a subcontractor. The employer obtained a workers' compensation policy with the insurer via the assigned risk pool. The policy was ultimately canceled for non-payment of the premium, but the risk was again assigned to the insurer, who issued another policy to the employer. The employer once again failed to pay the premium, and its insurer mailed it a notice of cancellation.
It is reported that the claimants filed claims against the employer's insurer, as well as the insurer of the general contractor for the project they were working on when they were injured. The administrative judge denied their claims against the employer's insurer and directed the general contractor's employer to pay benefits to the claimants. The claimants appealed, and after a hearing, the reviewing board ruled that the employer's insurer did not effectively cancel the policy and ordered it to pay the claimant's benefits. The employer's insurer then appealed.
Notice Required to Cancel a Workers' Compensation Policy
On appeal, the court ruled that the employer's insurer effectively canceled the policy, and therefore vacated the administrative judge's ruling and remanded for further proceedings. The court explained that notices regarding insurance cancellation are governed by statutory law, which expressly authorized notice by first class mail. Additionally, the statute did not require that an insurer obtain proof that the insured received the notice in order for the cancellation to be effective.
The court further rejected the assertion that because the law provides an insured employer the right to appeal within ten days of receiving the notice, notices of cancellation must include a proof of receipt to be effective, noting the reviewing board read requirements into the statute that the language of the statute did not impose. As such, it vacated the reviewing board's decision.
Meet with an Experienced Massachusetts Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Employers have an obligation to provide employees that suffer work-related harm with workers' compensation benefits regardless of whether they are insured. If you were injured while working, you might be owed benefits, and you should meet with an attorney to assess your claim. James K. Meehan of the Law Office of James K. Meehan is an experienced workers' compensation lawyer who can advise you of your rights and aid you in pursuing the full extent of benefits available. You can reach him via the form online or by calling 508-822-6600 to set up a meeting.

Der Royal Palast war ein Kino im Berliner Ortsteil Charlottenburg (Bezirk Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf) in der Tauentzienstraße, das zu seiner Eröffnung 1965 über die weltweit größte gekrümmte Projektionswand verfügte.

Geschichte

Der Royal Palast entstand Anfang der 1960er Jahre im Zuge der Erbauung des Europa-Centers, in das das Kino direkt integriert war. Entworfen und erbaut wurde der Royal Palast von Helmut Hentrich, Hubert Petschnigg und Klaus Heese. Ursprünglich verfügte das Kino über nur zwei Säle, mit den Namen Royal Palast und City. Die Namensgebung entstand durch eine Leserumfrage in der Berliner Boulevardzeitung B.Z. Der kleinere Saal City wurde am 21. Mai 1965 eröffnet, der Royal Palast folgte am 5. August 1965. Die um 120 Grad geschwungene und 420 Quadratmeter große Projektionswand des Royal Palastes war die ihrerzeit größte geschwungene Bildwand der Welt und wurde von Berlins größtem Vorhang verdeckt. Eröffnungsfilm war die George-Stevens-Produktion Die größte Geschichte aller Zeiten.

Im Jahr 1983 wurde das Kino um drei weitere kleinere Säle erweitert, und der gesamte Kino-Komplex erhielt den gemeinsamen Namen Royal Palast.

Unter dem Konkurrenzdruck der zahlreichen in Berlin eröffneten Multiplex-Kinos musste der Royal Palast am 28. April 2004 schließen. Der Gebäudekomplex wurde zwei Jahre später im Zuge einer Modernisierung des Europa-Centers abgerissen. Seit 2007 befindet sich an seiner Stelle ein "Saturn"-Elektronikmarkt.

Rex Rammell may be running for Idaho's governorship, but he is clearly preparing for (or at least thinking of) something more grand. The Mormon candidate will be holding closed door meetings with elders from the Church of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) on the rather apocalyptic predictions by Joseph Smith called the "White Horse" prophesy that leads to Mormons saving the nation by taking over the government.
Rammell previously attracted national attention with a joke about hunting President Obama, here.
In January, Rammell will hold a series of special meetings targeted specifically at "faithful priesthood-holders of the LDS Church" to discuss the so-called "White Horse" prophecy. Smith foretold of a constitutional crisis that leads to the impending breakup of the United States — only to have the Mormons take over the government.
Women are not invited but Rammell said that their husbands can return home and explain to them what occurred.
Now that is the ultimate stimulus package. Of course with Sarah Palin sucking the oxygen out of the Republican race for the White House, an apocalypse may be the only viable option left to Mitt Romney.
They are the greatest danger to individual freedom that the world has ever known.
It would be bad enough if it was the only thing going on. But, as I understand it from talking to other mormons, they think they are to rule the world. They get it from the Prophesy of Daniel in the Old Testament. It says "All their lawless deeds will be forgiven and they will rule the world forever". The saints ofg the last days, Daniel calls them. That's why the mormons call themselves latter day saints and that's why they could kill the entire Fancher wagon train (and only God knows how many since then) as part of their plan to take over. Do the research- it's all out there.
For your information, Rammell has been speaking to groups of all kinds all across Idaho. Because he has a meeting and invites members of his own faith he is condemned?
Your leftwing nutjobs really need to open up a history book! Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
Rex is a true conservative, and won't be popular with any liberal progressive newspapers, media news channels, or blogs.
With Otter you get RNC status quo. With Keith Allred you get another Harvard trained Obama, using "consensus process" and "common interests" instead of the Constitution, to make decisions about legislation on state matters.
I don't think we need another Saul Aslinsky diciple to take more of our freedoms away like Obama has been trained to do.
Time to get back to how this country was founded!!! That isn't through special interests groups, federal stimulus pork money, corporate money, lobbyists, NGO's, Unions, or DNC or RNC Party money coming from Washington D.C.
We need a candidate that has lived in Idaho for generations, a rural Idahoan, and a freedom fighter!!!
We need to get the Federal Government out of Idaho!
I'm glad Hiram posted – there are as many reasonable folks in the LDS and as many nut cases in the LDS as there are in the Catholic church and the fractured remnants of the Communist Party in America. A big slice of the LDS is made up of people we're lucky to have as friends, neighbors, relatives and fellow citizens. That said, like any religion, there's also a big slice of people who want to do some scary, nasty things. Like fundamentalists of any stripe (including fundamentalist atheists), they have a mindset that is totally incompatible with with the US constitution and it's very difficult balancing of individual and group rights, within an essentially secular, humanist framework. These are people who cling desperately to an external source for a black-and-white set of rules by which to live their lives. They fear (and are ill equipped to be) making the hard decisions that have to be made within our constitutional system.
To Hiram's pointing out that this prophesy may not have come from Smith's mouth: From my perspective, and I suspect – but in no way know, from Prof. Turley's perspective in writing the piece, it doesn't matter whether or not Smith actually said it. If these folks believe that it is "real" from their perspective, that's what's important.
Busy with family still. I am indeed living in interesting times.

The Tudor City residential complex, to which the Windsor Tower belongs, sprang up in the east side of Manhattan, between 40th and 43th Streets, in the 1920s.
The 14-foot casement windows in the double-height living room reveal postcard-worthy vistas of Long Island City across the East River.
"Dramatic," is how Brown Harris Stevens' Russell K. Miller, who holds the listing in Manhattan'sMurray Hill neighborhood with Kiono K. Thomas, described the scene, splayed on both sides of the glass.
"During the day, sunlight just streams through these windows," Mr. Miller said. "It is magical."
On the first floor of the apartment, which occupies three levels, light soaks the 18-foot, hardwood-floor living room and reaches the kitchen. The latter, a mere kitchenette when the building first sprouted as a hotel, boats a French country design.
To the side lies a dining room, which the owner has arranged in a space originally conceived as a bedroom.
A winding, wood staircase leads to a mezzanine, a home office as well as the master suite. Above is a stunning private terrace with views to the north, east and south of the river. Ideal for both intimate occasions and large soirees, the terrace features lighting and irrigation, Ms. Thomas said.
Throughout the penthouse, arched decors define the doorways, which, coupled with the casement windows and the built-in fireplace, hark back to the pre-war years, when the building was erected.
"They just do not make things like this anymore," Mr. Miller said, adding that the residence boasts a distinct "wow factor."
Penthouse 9 encompasses nearly 1,650 square feet of interior space, including two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a sliver over 1,000 square feet of exterior areas.
The building, Windsor Tower, has a 24-hour attended lobby with a full-time super, Ms. Thomas said. A gym overlooks the East River, while a recreation room offers a spot for entertainment.
"Not that you would need [the room] with this apartment," said Ms. Thomas, who sold the penthouse to its current owner, a holistic healthcare expert and speaker, some 10 years ago.
Developer Fred Fillmore French envisioned the six-block construction project, the largest New York City had seen at that time, as a suburban reclamation for people of "taste and refinement who wish to spend carefully," The New York Times reported in 1994.
The penthouses of Windsor Tower originally served as artists' studios, Ms. Thomas said. In the decades since, as Tudor City and individual units changed hands, they have been repurposed and revamped.
"There are only 10 penthouses in the building, on [the 22nd] floor," said Ms. Thomas. "Each one is completely different. They are very unique."
With Tudor City, French intended to create a "city within the city." Mr. Miller describes the neighborhood as an enclave with a post office, convenience shop, cafe, restaurant, dry cleaner and two leafy parks, among other mainstays.
"It is a sort of a contained enclave that you never have to leave if you don't want," he said.


Same problem here. I have contacted support.
We are aware of an issue with Mac 10 and 11 with macOS 10.13.6 (latest update) and engineering is working to resolve this.
I couldn't correlate the case you mentioned that opened. I have created a new case sent you a series to the email you used to sign into the Mindjet Community account (nolens2007) of steps recommended by our engineering team to try and resolve this. Please let me know if this resolves the issue.
We are still working to understand the issue but if you can run through and report back on the steps I sent you in the email it would be very helpful.
I have also just sent you an email (the email you used to sign-up for this board). If you can run through the steps I outlined in the email it would be helpful for us to isolate the issue.
The more awareness we create for the problem, the quicker a fix will be delivered.
And an additional question on my side: Has this problem appeared after installing the latest security patch 2018-002 for MacOS 10.13.6 ?
Experiencing same problem. MindManager 10 for MAC.
After recent MacOS update program crashes every time i try to type something in new element.
If you have MindManager 10 for MAC there is a separate post for you.
Currently i have tried both versions 10 (10.6.125) & 11 (11.2.116), they have same issue. Program crashes when i`m trying to type in new text to new element.
The link you provided is useless for me because i`m using High Sierra.
The only thing that worked for me temporary - i disabled "Typing replaces selection". Now i can edit my maps. But in generally both versions (10&11) are useless after latest MacOS security update.
I've also just downloaded the trial Mac Mindmanger version 11 to try and correct this problem as advised - I've installed it and it crashes in the same way as the earlier version ... very unsatisfying and problematic!
Problem has been reported already 6 days ago with still not fix; very disappointing!
Thanks for the feedback we have released a fix for Mindjet Mac 11. We are working on a fix for version 10 and will post this when available. I have sent emails to the users I could identify on this thread. If you haven't received an email from customer.support@mindjet.com please email us directly.
Thanks a lot David, the fix seems to be stable and working !
I just installed the patch for v11. It seems to be working. Thank you! Was freaking out!
