This quote from Dawson Trotman, founder of The Navigators, has guided me throughout much of my ministry career. I've also used it to counsel countless other men and women who desire to serve God in ministry.
Many Christians I talk to want to make a difference in this world, serve God, and give their life to a higher cause. Yet so many don't know where to begin, look for shortcuts, or try to choose a path they think is safer or easier.
At the beginning of the conversation, most aren't exactly sure what they want.
They want their life to count for something.
Full-time ministry is something they're considering, but they just aren't sure what steps to take.
As a mobilizer, what I love most is helping people navigate the decision of how to live out God's calling on their life.
I'm going to share with you the basic ingredients of a conversation I've had hundreds of times over a cup of coffee with someone evaluating their future ministry role.
The next time a student or someone else comes to you who is considering full-time ministry, but just isn't sure if they can make the commitment, consider helping them think through these criteria.
I generally start off our conversation by asking them to describe the deepest desires of their heart. If they could do anything in the world, what would they do?
It takes some prodding and asking to get the specifics, but eventually it comes out.
The next step is to see how bad they want it.
Is it just a "want," or is it a calling they feel compelled by God to pursue at any cost (namely, raising financial support)?
I tell them there are basically three ways to serve God in ministry.
The first is the most common; go find a job somewhere, be a witness in the workplace and volunteer with a ministry that is close to your calling. The problem is, it's extremely hard to fulfill that ministry call when the best hours of the day are devoted to your job, and life just gets more complicated and consuming as you add a spouse, kids, mortgage, etc.
But with intentionality and commitment, you can serve God strategically that way.
The second option is to find a Christian job, so the best hours of your day will be devoted to a higher purpose. However, paid Christian jobs are hard to come by, and one often can't be as picky about the type of ministry or type of role you'll be doing.
The third option is to pursue the ministry and role that allows them to do exactly what they described to me as their calling. I list a few ministries that could accommodate that, and share that most Christian workers in the world serve in faith-based ministries and raise their financial support.
I then ask which of those three paths they want to pursue: volunteer ministry, Christian job, or a ministry that lines up with their desires but requires personal support raising.
I then share with them my testimony of how a campus ministry worker told me as a student that God could use me if only I would let Him.
I share that God has faithfully provided for my family for the past 17 years, and I can say with confidence there's no other job I'd rather have and no other ministry I'd rather work with.
That's the freedom that comes with being willing to raise support and choose the ministry that aligns with God's calling on your life.
I explain that many people are skilled enough to do my job as Chief Operations Officer, but few are willing to raise support and live by faith.
As we talk about their gifting, education, and skills, I explore specific roles they could do that others could not.
This is a great matrix to think through when analyzing any opportunity.
This leads to the final part of the conversation in which I help them lay out a plan to research ministries that match their calling.
As a mobilizer, my mission is to connect people to their most strategic role in completing the Great Commission.
So while I'm always looking for candidates to work with my ministry, I ultimately want to help them find their most strategic role in God's Kingdom.
I share a baseball analogy for how to find a ministry to work with. First base is "Vision;" find a ministry that aligns with the vision God is calling you to.
Second base is "Culture" or "Community." Who you do ministry with is often as important as what you do. You want to find a ministry whose culture you can fit with that has a community you can thrive in.
Many people want to run the bases of choosing a ministry in the wrong direction.
They first look at the roles available, like many kids starting out in baseball who unknowingly run to third base instead of first.
The reality is that your role may change over time.
It's best to focus on finding a ministry whose vision and purpose you align with, a place you would want to contribute in whatever ways you could.
If God gives you the opportunity to act as a guide and mentor to a young man or woman, be open handed, not simply telling them about the opportunities within your own ministry.
Show them a process of making decisions for themselves, and hopefully they can begin the journey of serving God for a lifetime.
Go the extra mile and help them search for ministries which match their passions.
Consider walking them through the booklet 5 Keys to Personal Support Raising to address any concerns with raising financial support.

App prototype & website design of forum.eu – a platform for European debates
Ideation, Prototyping, Usability testing, Dev support
forum.eu curates articles on Europe from leading publishers and translates these articles into multiple languages in order to make them accessible to the European public. The founders approached me as they were looking for a UX designer who could turn their ideas into something tangible.
There were just a few rough ideas and a logo available from an agency. So at the beginning, we defined the scope and features and narrowed down the Minimal Viable Product in several ideation sessions with the founders. One key aspect we agreed on early was to think mobile first.
Developing a clickable prototype with exemplary content, that can be used on smartphones to test and validate hypotheses. The development of a desktop version followed later.
User testing – to make the app as user-friendly as possible and validate hypotheses on our feature set. For example in cafés and co-working spaces. Simply by asking people to use the app on our phone and asking questions. The insights were used to iterate on the prototype.
Briefing the developers by creating user stories and acceptance criterias. Providing feedback on the progress until beta rollout.
Why forum.eu?
The aim of forum.eu is to solve the challenge, that "Europe's democratic deficit can only be solved, when a European public sphere emerges" (Jürgen Habermas). Lot's of Europeans have no access to qualitative journalism or different opinions outside their country. Do people in Britain know what the French think about the Brexit? Or do the people of Poland know the Greek opinion on migration?
For that purpose, forum.eu will provide a service, an app and a website version, where they curate the best articles on Europe from leading publishers and translate these articles into multiple European languages.
How we proceeded
In July 2019 I got to know the core team of forum.eu. In several ideation sessions with Nikolaus and Valentin, two of the founders, we defined the process and narrowed down the MVP (Minimal Viable Product). An important aspect we agreed on early was not to develop only a website, but also an app – and thus to think mobile first in particular.
From then on, we iteratively developed a clickable mobile prototype with exemplary content. We used this prototype for usability testing, which we conducted in cafes and co-working spaces – simply by asking people to use the app on our phone. 90% of the people we asked said "yes, of course" and gave us honest feedback. Thereby we gained lots of insights that were extremely helpful and we could use to adapt the prototype.
Example: We thought that by using the app, the purpose becomes clear. But that was not the case. Many users did not understand it after we asked them. So we added a short "onboarding" and the next usability tests gets much better.
As a tool we used Adobe XD, which is ideal for developing app prototypes that can be tested directly on mobile devices. Even advanced navigation concepts like swiping can be implemented. Another benefit of Adobe XD is, that you can share the files with developers so they can inspect the CSS specifications.
After we agreed on the visual concept and the set of features, we started with the implementation. The developers decided to use REACT and Cordova to wrap it into an app. It is still in progress and we are all excited to see it live.

Futures of Global Cooperation
Duisburg, 8–10 November 2017
Drawing on top scholarship from around the world, the Käte Hamburger Kolleg/Centre for Global Cooperation Research at the University of Duisburg-Essen aims to make significant interdisciplinary contributions to knowledge and practice of global cooperation. At the end of Centre's first funding phase (2012–2018), the international conference 'Futures of Global Cooperation' launched the next six-year programme (2018–2024) that is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within its initiative of the Käte Hamburger International Centres in the Humanities. The three-day conference brought together leading scholars from diverse academic fields and world regions to assess the current state of knowledge on global cooperation and bridge the findings with the thematic foci of the second research phase.
The conference took the form of introductory plenary panels and breakout discussion groups. The introductory panels addressed the four broad thematic areas of the phase two programme: namely, (a) pathways and mechanisms of global cooperation; (b) global cooperation in contexts of polycentric governance; (c) critique, justification and legitimacy around global cooperation; and (d) global cooperation amidst and through diverse world-order conceptions.
The panels were followed by breakout group discussions which seek, among others, to identify frontiers of research that want particular attention in the phase two programme and to explore different disciplinary contributions to these issues.
For further information on the conference and details of the sessions, please refer to the conference programme

Ogun governorship: APC, APM confident of victory
Posted by Peter Moses, Abeokuta | 24 February 2019 | 785 times
• APC and APM guber candidates, Dapo Abiodun Adekunle Akinlade
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) have been flexing political muscles in Ogun State. The battle of supremacy between both parties, it was said, resulted in crisis during the recent presidential rally in the state, where hoodlums hurled missiles at party chieftains, a development that forced the event to end abruptly. The APM was formed following internal wrangling in the APC.
In Ogun State, there has been a battle of supremacy between Governor Ibikunle Amosun and former Governor Olusegun Osoba, over who would occupy the Government House after the 2019 general elections.
An oil magnate and Amosun's longtime ally, Dapo Abiodun, had won the ticket of the APC against his preferred candidate, Adekunle Akinlade, amidst high-level political scheming and power play by some forces within and outside the state.
As a result of this, the governor reportedly vowed to work against Abiodun in the APC, but would ensure that Akinlade, who now holds the APM ticket, succeeds him.
For about four months after the APC primaries, the two camps have been locked in a cat and mouse relationship, fiercely engaging each other in the media. Despite being members of the APC, they carried out their campaigns independently.
The disagreement between the two political blocs highly manifested during the recent presidential campaign rally of the APC at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta, where they attempted to outshine each other. As a result, suspected thugs threw dangerous objects at the presidential candidate of the party, Muhammadu Buhari and other chieftains.
Insiders told Daily Trust that Abiodun banks on the structure of the ruling party across the state, as well as external forces, including the Lagos political bloc, to win the election. It is believed that as an oil magnate, he equally has the financial muscle to battle the incumbent governor, who is believed to be bankrolling APM campaigns.
But some observers believe that what Abiodun cannot get from Amosun, Osoba's political structure would provide. Osoba's faction controls the Caretaker Committee of the party in the state, and has been running the affairs of the party, weeks after the party primaries.
Findings revealed that the immediate past chief of staff to Amosun, Tolu Odebiyi, had joined Abiodun's camp before his resignation two weeks ago. Also, a former Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Afolabi Afuape, resigned to pick a state House of Assembly ticket for Abeokuta South I constituency. However, the agitation for power shift to Ogun West, against Ogun East where the APC candidate hails from, may hamper his chances at the poll.
More so, keen political watchers argue that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for the ruling APC to win Ogun Central, which has become the battleground, without Amosun's support.
For the governorship candidate of the APM, Akinlade, his lifeline is Governor Amosun. The governor picked him using the instrumentality of the Ogun West Elders Forum, which nominated him out of many aspirants. The fact that Akinlade hails from Ogun West, a region that has not produced governor since 1976 when the state was created, is the party's selling point. However, the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Party (ADC), Gboyega Nasiru Isiaka, another formidable candidate and a veteran in the race, equally hails from the region. GNI, as he is popularly called, is also flying the kite of power shift to Ogun West.
The APM candidate, who current represents Egbado South/Ipokia federal constituency, belongs to the young generation of politicians. This, analysts say, may earn him more votes among the youth, who have the largest voting power.
Also, owing to Amosun's influence, Triple A, as he is popularly called by his admirers, may win more votes in Ogun Central, the region that would largely decide who wins the governorship poll.
However, top monarchs from Ogun West, as well as socio-political organisations in Yewa-Awori, have openly identified with the ADC candidate, a development that may have depleted the APM candidate's home-based strength.
But Akinlade believes that in an atmosphere of peaceful and credible election, he would emerge governor.
"We are on ground and we have always been with the people. They know us. What we are just asking is for a peaceful election and we will win. We have told our people to remain calm and resolute. We will vote and our votes will count. We will not be involved in violence and we will not encourage it. Buhari is the president of the country and our party has adopted him. I think I reserve the right to meet him and reassure him that we believe in him,'' Akinlade said.

Chiropractic care is a popular healthcare choice for many Australian adults and children. In Australia there are more than 12 million visits to chiropractors each year.
The fundamental philosophy of chiropractic is to provide a natural approach to healthcare; allowing the body to naturally heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.
Chiropractic concentrates on the intimate relationship between the structure, primarily the spine, and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
The basic concept of chiropractic is based on the fact that the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. When vital nerve communication pathways are interfered with, as can occur with a variety of structural and/or functional problems in the spine, the body and the brain stop sending accurate information to each other, resulting in dysfunction and most commonly presenting as pain.
Everyday occurrences such as poor posture, slips and falls, or lack of exercise can cause the bones of your spine (vertebrae) to lose their usual motion or position. Chiropractors refer to this abnormal motion of the vertebrae as a Vertebral Subluxation.
When your spine is not functioning at its best it can set off a chain reaction affecting the vertebrae, nerves, muscles and soft tissues, often resulting in degenerative changes throughout the body.
These changes can include (but are not limited to) pain, tingling, numbness, headaches or no symptoms at all. It is important to note that symptoms are often the last sign that something is going wrong. Many times there is an underlying problem that you are not consciously aware of.
Whilst the general public typically associate chiropractic care helping with back and neck pain, there are other conditions that can improve following chiropractic care. We regularly have reports of improvements in conditions such as jaw and face pain, hip and shoulder bursitis, musculoskeletal associated dizziness and vertigo, migraine headache, musculoskeletal symptoms from asthma and chronic coughs, knee and ankle pain.
Our Chiropractors have completed a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Masters degree in Chiropractic over 5 years.
At Trowse Chiropractic we place great importance on attending regular seminars and conferences every year in order to maintain our high standards of care.
Chiropractors are the only doctors trained to detect and correct vertebral subluxations through gentle and specific adjustments.

Q: Why date is getting a wrong value? I'm trying to compare two dates using getTime() method but first date is always inferior to the second. After debugging, I figured that the first date (endTime) is taking 31-12-1969 07:00:00 instead of 01-01-1970 07:00:00. This is the code snippet:
if (endTime.before(currentTime)) {
             // action
    }

Note: I tried it on a different Timezone (UTC) and it worked perfectly the endTime = 01-01-1970 07:00:00. I'm java.util.Date to initialize the endTime.
Any solutions?
Edit:
This method returns the Current Time:
public static Date getCurrentTime() {
        Calendar calendar = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
        int hour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
        int minute = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
        int second = calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);
        return new Time(hour, minute, second);
    }

This is the initialization of endTime:
Date endTime = new Date();

A: A timezone can become negative. Try sth. like (pseudocode):
time = time<"01-01-1970 00:00:00" ? "01-01-1970 00:00:00" : time;
But then you compare to UTC instead of timezone. Hope this helps you.

"One of the best times since having Jarvis was when he was a tiny puppy and was so small and carefree.
He had a real innocence.
It took me out of the business of life.
He was a great distraction from the stress and pressures of daily life.
"My fiancé has been more accommodating by respecting my wishes and not letting Jarvis on the sofa.
Raising Jarvis together has made us a better team.
We have learned to trust each other's opinions and are willing to accept the opinions of one another.
We are flexible with each other.
"I thought raising a puppy together would be a good thing to do to learn about each other.
I've learned that my future wife does a lot of research in terms of solving problems.
My strength is the ability to be a good enforcer of rules, whereas she is a little easier on Jarvis.
"I remember when I was coming home from a trip outside the city because my depression was really bad and I hadn't met Ziggy yet, because my mother had just gotten him.
I was panicked at the thought of returning to the city and facing my sadness.
I got off the plane and went straight to my mom's apartment and I saw Ziggy in his crate and was filled with happiness.
Whatever I am going through with my depression doesn't matter to Ziggy–no judgements. There is no pressure, whereas a lot of my friends have a hard time. They feel helpless and not sure of what to say or how to behave.
"We put a lot of time into training him and we can bring him anywhere. We take him shopping at Bloomingdales and we take him on the train to Long Island, and no-one ever complains.
He's a most friendly and affectionate dog and he is playful with other dogs when he comes to the dog run.
I think he really behaves appropriately. He adjusts his behavior around children. We have two nephews, with the eight year old, he plays more rambunctiously; but with the two year old, it's almost like he monitors him. He watches him toddle along and makes sure he doesn't fall–it's almost like he babysits him.
He's done wonders for our lives.
We have learned more about ourselves by putting Seymour first.
"I had dogs all my life. It was only when I moved to the city that I didn't have one. That was 8 years ago.
My 2 year old son was the inspiration to get Samson. I remember what it was like to be a kid and have a dog. I wanted my son to have what they call "man's best friend" throughout his childhood.
My son is 2 and Sam is his buddy. He wakes up saying his name and he goes to bed saying his name.
The worst moment since having Samson was when I left my job of 10 years. I went from spending time with people all the time, to being alone.
Being home with Samson makes me feel less lonely. He's always around, following me from room to room.
Walking him pushes me out of the apartment to get fresh air and meet other people.
My husband was a cat lover and never had a dog. He was hesitant about getting a dog. He liked the independence of cats and was wasn't sure about the responsibility, as well as the interaction between our son and the dog.
The first week of trying to build a relationship between my son and the dog we couldn't find the dog. We looked everywhere in the apartment and finally found him in the toddler bed, snuggling with our son.
Sampson has added another person to love.

Cuba, Japan play for last open Slot in World Baseball Classic Semis
2009 World Baseball Classic No Comments
The 2009 World Baseball Classic is moving towards the decisive phase with long strides. Three of the four semi-final spots are set. Cuba or Japan will follow Korea, Venezuela and Team USA to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, where the final round will take place next weekend.
World Baseball Classic Schedule March 18:
Midnight 12am CET, WBC Pool 2: Venezuela – USA
(Dolphin Stadium, Miami, Florida, ESPN America, MLB Network, MLB.tv live)
The last two games were high-pressured competitions for Team USA, needing wins to avoid elimination, capped by the thrilling ninth inning in yesterday's matchup with Puerto Rico. David Wright's walk-off hit send the USA to the semis. Tonight they face Venezuela with starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie of the Baltimore Orioles on the mound, determining the first seed from Pool 2. Manager Davey Johnson hopes that the right-hander can go six innings, as he had to use his bullpen heavily the past few days. It will be the third contest between the two teams in the World Baseball Classic, with each having one victory on its belt. Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers should receive the starting nod.
Thursday, 4am CET, WBC Pool 1: Cuba – Japan
(PETCO Park, San Diego, California, ESPN America, ESPN2, MLB.tv live)
In another duel between Baseball-heavyweights Cuba and Japan will determine the last participant in the World Baseball Classic semi-finals today at PETCO Park in San Diego. The game comes just three days after their last meeting, when Japanese pitching with Daisuke Matsuzaka at the top shut out the powerful bats in a 6-0 win. Additionally their offense frustrated the Cuban pitching with their slap-hitting approach at the plate, using singles and small ball to score the six runs. But since then things have changed quickly. Cuba adjusted to the pitcher-friendly ballpark and defeated Mexico to stay alive. Japan had not much going in a 1-4 loss against Korea. Both starting pitchers, Hisashi Iwakuma and Yuniesky Maya, already pitched in relief on Sunday in the first match of the two teams. The winner goes to Chavez Ravine, the loser home.

Tarot Card Origins
Tarot was first known as trionfi, tarocchi or tarock a collection of playing cards that rose to favor in 15th century mainland Europe. At first, these early cards were played exclusively by the wealthy nobility and had little esoteric or divination elements beyond entertainment. The creation of beautiful hand-painted cards was widespread in Europe, particularly Italy, before the availability of the printing press. Only during the 18th century did tarot decks begin to be used for divination and occult or fortune telling practices. The tarot card today is often considered a tool for divination, but the first historically known decks were used for the nobilities pleasure.
By most accounts, the first mention of Tarot cards dates to the 14th century - Simple rules for a tarot game are explained in a manuscript by Martiano da Tortona circa 1425. The Art of this time period, while often elaborate, would only hint at the Artistic transformation of the tarot card.

Occult and Esoteric Art in Tarot
French occultist Etteilla brought tarot divination to a wider audience in the 18th century with decks who's true purpose was occult use. The Etteilla (pseudonym of Jean-Baptiste Alliette) cards are founded on the Book of Thoth ("Book of Thoth" is a name given to many ancient Egyptian writings believed to have been written by Thoth, the Egyptian god of knowledge, in antiquity) Etteilla created the 78-card tarot with themes associated to the occult and ancient Egypt. The esoteric deck is popular for it's striking illustrations and features a distinct Major Arcana and Minor Arcana.

First published in 1909 and widely considered the most famous tarot deck The Rider-Waite tarot deck, is commonly used for fortune telling and readings. The simple illustrated cards were drawn by Pamela Colman Smith with mystic A. E. Waite and were originally published by the Rider Company, hence the hyphenated name. Each card features symbolism that was influenced by 19th century sage and occultist Eliphas Levi and the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn a secret society devoted to the practice of the occult and metaphysics.

The Death Card (XIII)
The Death card is the 13th trump Major Arcana card in many traditional Tarot decks. We would be remiss to not have some of our favorite Death tarot card Art featured. The famous Death card is used in Tarot card games, fortune telling, and divination rituals. The card predominantly features the Grim Reaper or skeleton figure representing Death. A powerful card in symbol, meaning and prediction Death has inspired many unique tarot Artworks. When used in readings the card is often interpreted as signifying major developments in a person's life.

Olympusu2019s Tokyo HQ has hit out at Japanese press reports that the company is on the verge of striking a strategic alliance with Sony or Panasonic, and set to slash 2,500 jobs worldwide.
The chosen partner would take a stake of more than 10%, according to Reuters, quoting a report in the Asahi newspaper.
Panasonic had yet to respond to a request for comment.
The company's future plans are expected to be thrashed out at a board meeting due to take place on 8 June.
Yesterday, former Olympus boss Michael Woodford reached an out-of-court settlement with the firm after he took legal action claiming wrongful dismissal and discrimination.
The settlement – rumoured to be worth around £10m – must be ratified by Olympus directors at the 8 June meeting before it can be finally signed off.
Woodford and Olympus have declined to speak publicly about the size of the out-of-court settlement.


What keeps me from loving FFXIV?
– interface … HOW many clicks to get what I want?
– impossibility of crafting ANYTHING – I do not mean levels 1-5; they're easy. but anything that requires a wind shard? Impossible. I tried leveling my Alchemy so I could make them myself, but got stuck at level 6. Needed level 8. I couldn't BUY them – I checked every damned retainer in the bazaar. I ran to a different area, and it didn't drop there either. I changed my elemental point allocation, as suggested by someone, and couldn't get them to drop that way either.
– crafting/gathering mini-game. This was incredibly fun the first 10 times. Then, I just wanted to chop the tree and get it the hell over with. It's not like it changed with skill. Same with synthesis. Really, HOW many times do you want me to click to make some distilled water?
– Lack of an auction house. Try getting wind shards, and you'll wish you had an AH. It's also next to impossible to know what to price things – there's no price-comparison that's in any way practical to complete.
– No abandoning quests. I picked up some quests in a different area, and realized I didn't actually want them. But I was stuck with them, and couldn't pick up new ones because I had reached my daily quota.
– I have been playing for over a week – not day in and day out, but at least a couple of hours every day. And I STILL don't have ANY upgrades. Frustrating. I've spent so much money trying to level my professions, that I cannot buy anything on offer in the market ward. And it's not like I haven't tried to CRAFT my own stuff. See the wind shard thing again.
What makes me want to absolutely LOVE FFXIV?
– It is soooo beautiful. The graphics are astonishing. The scenery is gorgeous.
– Character customization: oh my god – so amazing. And gorgeous.
– The emphasis on crafting. I have always LOVED crafting, and I love that FFXIV puts an emphasis on it. It is just not implemented well yet. I hope it improves.
– The leveling/class changing system. I think it's awesome that you can be so many different classes on one character. And I really like the point allocation system.
– Once you get used to it, the macro system is great. It really is.
– Local/regional leve quests. Awesome.
– The story-line quests have been amazing.
– The spell animations and spell selections based on points are really well done.
– Instanced mobs for the quest you are on – makes it easy to find what you need and they're not in short supply.
– Crafting is cool – I just wish it wasn't a mini-game EVERY time you make something. Maybe the first time you make distilled water it takes a bit to learn, but EVERY time? Gets repetitive and not challenging – oops I snuck a criticism in there.
There is so much to love about this game – if it had been implemented well. I really hope it improves. I am taking a break for a day, because I just became so frustrated last night. I'll try again tomorrow. Maybe I will overcome the wind shard issue. But I think the game will need a lot of polish and tweaking. Hopefully, I can see past the implementations issues, and they will gradually change.
But today, I'm playing WoW. Because it works.

Google expands 'Neighbourly' app to five Indian cities
By AuthorPTI | Published: 12th Sep 2018 1:16 pm
New Delhi: Tech giant Google on Wednesday said it is expanding its 'Neighbourly' app — which aims to help people source local information from their neighbours — to five more Indian cities, including Ahmedabad, Coimbatore and Mysore.
In May, Google had launched the beta version of the app in Mumbai and later expanded to Jaipur. "Starting today, people in Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Mysore, Vizag, and Kota, will get access to the app, following enthusiastic support from locals who joined the waitlist to bring Neighbourly to their city," Google said in a statement. It added that users in Mumbai and Jaipur have sought answers to questions around local shopping, food recommendations and tuition centres.
The launch in these new cities follow extensive user testing done in the past several months, Google pointed out. "The dynamics of these cities attracted Google's Next Billion Users team, and they conducted a series of studies and spoke to locals in neighbourhoods… people appreciated using their local language to ask questions to their neighbours and sharing their own knowledge with others," it said.
To use the app, user can type or use voice to answer questions. "With Neighbourly, we are able to address the local information needs of India's fast-growing internet users in their neighbourhood. We're excited about the adoption and early engagement and are looking forward to providing a useful experience to people in five new cities across India," Google Next Billion Users, Group Product Manager, Josh Woodward said.

Wellington's leadership in clean transport is seriously threatened by the Regional Council's decision to scrap the trolley buses in favour of diesel buses. Tests of hybrid and battery buses are promised, but in 2017, the transition is to diesel buses away from the present electric fleet.
Other major cities such as Leeds, Verona and Montreal are renewing their trolley fleets and numerous others are recreating their light rail tram network. A recent guide for replacement of urban diesel buses by trolleys refers to the technology as "fully developed, technically secure and economical".
No information has been provided to suggest a reduction in the tiny PM2.5 particulates that Euro 6 filters still struggle to remove. University of Otago Medical School Assistant Research Fellow Ed Randal's preliminary findings indicate that replacing all trolley buses with diesel buses could lead to an approximate 20% increase in small carcinogenic particles on Willis and Manners Streets, bringing extra deaths. The small particles lodge in respiratory tracts causing cancer and respiratory disease, leading to a WHO Class One classification of PM2.5 particulates similar to that resulting from exposure to asbestos.
Council needs to at least establish a baseline for particulate emissions, and follow up with spot checks on diesel buses purchased to ensure they meet required Euro standards. At the moment, there are no measurements at all.
Wellington region's bus fleet of 517 vehicles including 60 electric trolleys, reduce down to a proposed 412 all diesel fleet in 2018. Any change in greenhouse emission would be due to a reduction in fleet size, with the removal of the 60 zero emission trolley buses and supporting infrastructure counter-productive to that goal.
Opportunity savings of reduced greenhouse emissions is ignored, and they should represent our commitment to reducing greenhouse emissions at the upcoming Climate Action talks in Paris.
Trolley buses are as important to Wellingtonians and our capital's culture as the wind and cable car.
I totally agree with you and see no need to get rid of our trolley buses. Definitely get rid of the diesel buses or at least the majority of them.

Book Review: The Dangerous Art of Blending In by Angelo Surmelis
January 30, 2018 by Amanda MacGregor Leave a Comment
A raw, powerful, but ultimately uplifting debut novel perfect for fans of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe from debut author Angelo Surmelis.
Seventeen-year-old Evan Panos doesn't know where he fits in. His strict immigrant Greek mother refuses to see him as anything but a disappointment. His quiet, workaholic father is a staunch believer in avoiding any kind of conflict. And his best friend, Henry, has somehow become distractingly attractive over the summer.
Tired, isolated, scared—Evan finds that his only escape is to draw in an abandoned monastery that feels as lonely as he is. And yes, he kissed one guy over the summer. But it's Henry who's now proving to be irresistible. Henry, who suddenly seems interested in being more than friends. And it's Henry who makes him believe that he deserves more than his mother's harsh words and terrifying abuse.
But as things with Henry heat up, and his mother's abuse escalates, Evan has to decide how to find his voice in a world where he has survived so long by being silent.
This is a powerful and revelatory coming-of-age novel based on the author's own childhood, about a boy who learns to step into his light.
This was a rough read. The abuse and homophobia are nonstop. Though this is absolutely a worthwhile read and is very well written, readers need to know going in that Evan suffers a lot at the hands of his peers and his own mother.
Illinois 17-year-old Evan Panos spends most of his life hiding and hoping to fly under the radar. His extremely abusive Greek mother has spent his whole life hurting him, telling him he's ugly and a sinner, that she wishes he were gone, as she beats him. Though not out, his religious mother has lived in fear that Evan is gay ("deviant"), bringing in other devout members from their church to pray that he's released from this "demon." His father doesn't agree with his wife's tactics, but also doesn't (generally) intervene. Evan's cuts and bruises don't go unnoticed, but he explains them away by telling people he's just incredibly clumsy and falls a lot. But everything starts to change when Evan and his lifelong best friend, Henry, realize they're falling for each other. Evan is so afraid to trust anyone, and even though Henry is his best friend, he has his reasons for being hesitant (reasons that go beyond what his mother will do to him if she finds out about any of this). Can Evan begin to reveal the many secret sides to his life, or will revealing those secrets be the thing that ends him?
Like I said, this is a hard read. Evan has virtually no support. Even as adults begin to figure out, or suspect, what has been happening to him, no one intervenes. His mother is unrelentingly abusive and all of the scenes of violence are right there on the page. To watch that, and to watch Evan try to explain it all away, is heartbreaking. His classmates constantly accuse him of being gay, hurling disgusting slurs around. What he has with Henry is lovely, if at times complicated, but the romance takes a backseat to the story of the abuse. Make sure readers who pick this up also realize there are plenty of books about happy, accepted, safe gay kids, too. The author includes a note at the end, talking about how the his own personal story mirrored Evan's, and resources for help. A powerful and devastating read with some of the worst physical and emotional abuse I've ever seen in a YA book.

Hello one and all, and thanks for checking out this, the 212th Episode of BTK. We are covering "Combat Shock" for this one, which is a movie that we somehow have never discussed or covered on the show, so now we have. And you can listen to it. Right now. Or, like me, realize you have subscribed to too many podcasts, and they just keep showing up in your feed and end up simply deleting it because listening to it will take time away from crying and cutting yourself. That's fine, as well.


The gospels are full of Jesus' explicit, clear instruction to abandon our dependence on material wealth and to give generously. Why do Jesus' instructions make us so uncomfortable? If we really trust God, why would these commands make us so nervous? There are many "why questions" when it comes to Jesus' words about giving.
In the video system below, we will examine some of the reasons for giving to West Market Church... This Is Why. Ministry is possible because of YOU and your generosity.
Listen to our first story about how West Market Church's Wednesday Missions Programs for children have touched one family. Your gifts make this ministry possible.
Our second story is from one of our youth that explains what being a part of our youth program means to him. We have had a real impact in Spencer's life because of your support.
Our third story is from a man who came to the Winter Shelter who found himself homeless. We are happy to say he's in his own home now, but when he needed it, we were there for him. Our shelter, support and giving has had an effect on Bobby's life. This support could not have happened without your gifts.

Matt Allen: "Last Time" is immaculately and exuberantly crafted
Published on July 14, 2017 in Reviews by staff
After graduating from WAAPA in 2010 as the Most Outstanding Contemporary Music Student, Australian and precisely Perth-based Pop/ R&B singer-songwriter, Matt Allen, wrote and recorded his debut album, "Over". The album's title track received 8th place in the prestigious 2012 Australian Songwriting Awards, whilst the lead off tune, "Stay The Night" was awarded a Runner Up in the 2012 International Song Contest. Allen recently released his follow up EP 'Last Time' and we caught up with the single, "Last Time". Matt Allen's music succeeds at capturing your attention because it's groove-based, which is to say, it's neither pop-based nor logic-based. Those elements are there but they're not the overwhelming factors in making a mid-tempo funky swinger like "Ride The Moment", or the heartfelt slow-burner like "Last Time" captivating. It's the groove in Allen's voice that will ultimately convince you.
Matt Allen works wonders with his music, highlighting empty spaces and filling them with reverberating vocals, and his performances are always soulful without losing heft or being over melodramatic.
But the main job of Pop and R&B music – and this is where it so often fails – is making the same old tropes sound fresh, and Allen certainly does that here.
Listen to how the beat on "Last Time" searches and searches and finally finds what it is looking for, following the storyline and lyrics of the song. That is how you create a cohesive project in all its artistic facets, which testifies to how well-versed Allen is in the composition and arranging of his songs.
The song's production and beat, Matt Allen's voice and delivery, as well as the strident guitar solo – come together in a way that makes it sound anything but dumb R&B. In fact Matt delivers an exciting song within a genre that has recently become very stale and clichéd.
And what's more is that the listener pressured into qualifying the song as a guilty pleasure. It is immaculately and exuberantly crafted, with a real respect for those who have come before; it is music as tribute, music as love.
In every song on which he sings you can hear how seriously Matt Allen takes this whole music thing, and you can also tell that — as a natural performer — he's actually really, really good at it. "Last Time" solidifies his legitimacy as an individual artist, and confirms that he needs to be seen as an artist who's thoughtful and creative with a sound that is as exciting as it is accessible.

Meghan McCain Defends Tucker Carlson After He's Confronted In Store
By LifeZette
Over the weekend, a video went viral of Fox News host Tucker Carlson being confronted at a fishing store in Montana as he shopped with his daughter.
On Monday's episode of the ABC talk show "The View," conservative cohost Meghan McCain defended Carlson and questioned whether this could be the beginning of a very dangerous precedent.
Backstory: Tucker Carlson Laughs In Face Of Heckler Who Confronts Him In Store – 'Settle Down, Son'
Meghan McCain Defends Tucker Carlson
"As incendiary as many people find Tucker Carlson, they find the women on this show equally incendiary, for different reasons," McCain said. "So if it's OK and to be expected, maybe there's an expectation that wherever we go, it's OK for people to come up to us and scream things and say things."
McCain went on to slam the man who confronted Carlson, saying that he was "a total jack***" and "incredibly rude," and that he owes the host an apology for the confrontation.
Not stopping there, she added that allowing public confrontations to happen like this, even with controversial figures, is "a slippery slope." McCain lamented the fact that she and her husband are constantly having conversations about what restaurants are safe to go to, and where they can take their daughter in public.
"I know how much people don't like Tucker Carlson. People equally don't like Meghan McCain and Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin and Whoopi and Sara," McCain said. "When you're putting your opinion out there, you're making yourself a target."
A spokesperson for Fox responded to the video in a brief statement.
"Ambushing Tucker Carlson while he is in a store with his family is totally inexcusable — no public figure should be accosted regardless of their political persuasion or beliefs simply due to the intolerance of another point of view," the spokesperson told The Wrap.
Joy Behar Celebrates
One person who was happy about the confrontation was McCain's liberal cohost Joy Behar, who felt that Carlson got what he deserved.
"He's like the guy who's on the lifeboat wearing a vest — or on the Titanic," she said of Carlson, referring to his vaccine comments. "He's wearing a vest and telling other people don't wear the vest. This is what he thinks of his viewers. He's more interested in ratings and getting attention than he is in his viewers' lives."
"There are people like this guy in Montana who will not have it," Behar concluded. "And the fact that he was very, very nice about it you'll notice. He did not become a threat. He just basically quietly said, you know, you are the worst human being for doing what you are doing. So you can't really fault him on that end."

Riviera Cancun is very different for the Riviera Maya, with each hole isolated from view, lots and lots of water, a desert feel with long cart boardwalks and abundant virgin waste area. The biggest difference between this and others in the region, however, is a sign of the "New Nicklaus" – heavily contoured and very tricky greens.
A lot of architects have spent the last few years considering how to handle the ever increasing distance from the technology of modern equipment, and whereas Pete Dye has attacked the USGA for refusing to reign it in and in response is building 8,000-yard plus behemoths.
Nicklaus's tact is different and that the only way to protect against pro-caliber assault is to toughen the greens. So there is a clear difference between vintage Nicklaus designs with moderate sized and flattish greens and the most recent efforts (including another new Mexican layout, Punta Mita's Bahia course), which feature smaller and rolling greens that are tricky to hold and tricky to putt, dropping off in various directions.
Riviera Cancun is a very nice layout, and a fairly raw, natural golf experience that is also quite a test: on the seventh hole there is a daunting drive over water, then a second aquatic carry to the tough green. Don't expect Mr. Nicklaus to let up, especially when it comes to his trademark finish, always sticking it to the golfer from the fifteenth on. He does that here, but surprisingly, while the course is near the coast, there are no actual waterfront holes, a shocker considering that Nicklaus' standard Mexican design aesthetic has been to run a few finishing holes along the coast.
All in all, Riviera Cancun would be a shame to miss as part of any golf trip to the region and depending on your personal preference for rugged versus manicured, could be the best layout down here.
Riviera Cancun provides all golfers with an "all-inclusive" experience, meaning that from arrival to departure all of he food and drinks are included in your green fees, transport to and from local hotels are also available on request.

Under Attack by Far-right Gov't, Soros' Open Society Foundations to Close Hungary Offices
'The government of Hungary has denigrated and misrepresented our work and repressed civil society for the sake of political gain,' Open Society Foundations president says
The signboard of George Soros' Open Society Foundations (OSF) is seen in a building in Budapest, April 20, 2018.Bernadett Szabo/REUTERS
George Soros' Open Society Foundations will close their office in Budapest and move to the German capital of Berlin, the organization said on Tuesday, leaving what it called an increasingly repressive political and legal environment.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has blamed Soros, a Hungarian-born U.S. financier, for a host of ills and is planning to tighten a crackdown on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) under legislation dubbed the "Stop Soros" bill.
"The government of Hungary has denigrated and misrepresented our work and repressed civil society for the sake of political gain, using tactics unprecedented in the history of the European Union," Patrick Gaspard, president of the Open Society Foundations, said in a statement.
A senior minister in Orban's new government said on Monday that Hungary would tighten the bill on non-government groups following the ruling party's big election victory last month, a move likely to dismay the European Union and rights groups.
>> Analysis: Orban Blamed all of Hungary's Problems on a Jew – and Won, Big Time ■ Opinion: Why is Netanyahu Allying Himself with Anti-Soros Anti-Semites? ■ Opinion: It's Not Anti-Semitism if You Just Hate the Bad Jews <<
Open Society said it would continue to support the work of civil society groups in Hungary on issues such as human rights, arts and culture, media freedom, transparency, and education and health care.
It added, however, that it would "pursue all available legal avenues to defend the fundamental rights that are threatened by the legislation."

Ulster Women travelled to Sligo on Sunday for a development squad hit out against Connacht Women ahead of the Women's Interprovincial Series which starts on Friday 31st August.
While it's generally stated that the results in these matches aren't important it was still a frustrating loss for Ulster who started the game brightly.
Ulster opened the scoring after a break by Vicky Irwin was finished off by Beth Cregan. Jemma Jackson added the conversion and minutes later the experienced out half was on target again with a penalty as Ulster continued to exert pressure on the Connacht line.
However, that was practically it for Ulster who spent the bulk of the rest of the game under pressure in their own half.
A period of pressure close to the Ulster line saw Ilse van Staden yellow carded for holding on and shortly after the home team went over for a close range converted try.
Minutes later an interception saw Connacht race home for their second to take a 12 – 10 lead into the break.
A converted try early in the second half game Connacht a degree of control on the game at 19 – 10 and it looked as though Connacht had wrapped up the game when they crossed for their fourth to take the score to 24 – 10 with Ulster in disarray.
However a late rally from Ulster saw Ilse van Staden score, after a try by Neve Jones was ruled out, and the conversion by Irwin closed the gap to 24 – 17 in the closing minutes.
Ulster Squad: Ilse van Staden, Neve Jones, Sorcha Mac Laimhin, Hannah Beattie, Rebecca Lawlor, Katie Hetherington, Claire Mclaughlin, Beth Cregan, Kathryn Dane, Jemma Jackson, Fiona Tuite, Vicky Irwin, Maeve Liston, Holly Brannigan, Emma Jordan, Sara Topping, Shannon Corbett, Dianne Ramsey, Megan Simpson, Aishling O'Connell.

Q: Why can probabilities not simply be added or multiplied, for coinflip experiments? When flipping a fair coin, the probability of obtaining heads N times is of course given by the binomial distribution. But why is it that the rule of adding up conjuncted (AND) probabilities, i.e. for events $A$ and $B$:
$P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)$
does not apply here, assuming independence of the N=2 ($A$ and $B$) flips?
Same question if we were to change the AND into an OR, namely why do probabilities not simply add up, according to:
$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B)$,
if we can assume that $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive ($A\cap B = \emptyset$)?

LA City Council Moves Forward with Unarmed Response Team
As with many US cities and, in particular, democratically ran ones, violence and crime seem to be on the rise. You'd think that would mean cities and their leaders would be on high alert and putting as many boots on the ground as possible to avoid any more destruction or loss of life. However, the exact opposite seems to be taking place.
Instead of working to end the crime and putting laws or at least structures in place to stem the chaos, they are taking police officers off the board entirely.
Los Angeles is one of those places.
Here, City Council members voted 14-0 this week to further impede police productivity, deciding to handle as many cases as possible with an unarmed crisis response team.
According to FOXLA, "With the unanimous vote, the Council will now "issue a request for proposal (REP) for a non-profit partner to implement a pilot program, and, in addition, seek recommendations from relevant departments on creating a new classification of city employees that would be responsible for responding to nonviolent calls for service that are currently handled by police officers.'"
City Council President Nury Martinez said in a press release, "Today marks a seminal moment in our City's history in our efforts to reimagine public safety. Through this unarmed response pilot for non-violent calls, we will help Angelenos get the mental health and other support services they need from trained professionals. We will also free up police officers to do the work they are trained to do. Ultimately, this will also allow us to provide our Black and Brown communities with the resources they deserve."
Now, I won't pretend to act as though mental health services aren't needed and can't, in some way, work to mitigate crime in larger cities. I won't also act as though police can't be helped out by having some tasks delegated to other areas that might serve the city and its citizens better.
However, I am not about to say that police officers answering a call, nonviolent or otherwise, can simply be replaced. And especially not by those who, as the good Council President said, aren't trained to do it.
To explain this, I'll give you a couple of examples that the Los Angeles Police Department has recently received that probably wouldn't be labeled as "violent."
Example one comes from mid-city, where a man stopped and got out of his car after a woman waved him down. But instead of needing help, as he thought she did, it seemed she just needed a target for her rage. She proceeded to slap him in the face, push him around, and even threw a small dog at him. Yes, I said small dog, what appeared to be a German Shepard puppy based on the pictures. And of course, she was screaming obscenities at him the whole time.
Idk what's goin on but I got a new dog pic.twitter.com/noLZKNYO6d
— glogloglo (@Mulaflare) October 10, 2020
The man said she appeared to be extremely impaired by a drug of some sort and extremely aggressive. Naturally, he got back in his car to avoid any further harassment or injury.
How would you classify this? Do you really want an unarmed and unaccustomed to violence social worker responding to this call?
Or what about last year when a homeless and clearly mentally ill poured a bucket of diarrhea on a woman on the street?
Or when another mentally and ill homeless man began waving around a machete while trying to hijack a car?
Just take a look at this and decide if you want unarmed city officials here.
15 minutes at Venice Beach = homeless encampment fire, several vicious dog's (btw: dogs are not allowed on weekdays), multiple tents on the beach (illegal), & half a dozen psychotics (drug-induced/schizophrenic) exhibiting self-harm & threats to others including waving a machete. pic.twitter.com/zBnIU7ekam
— Boninville (@VeniceCitizen) October 10, 2020
You don't think cops show up to these scenes guns blazing, do you? No, they try to talk to the person, try to get them to put down their weapons, to come in safely for everyone.
But even their best-laid plans don't always work. People, especially ones who are either guilty or confused about what is going on, tend to overreact and make the situation much worse when authority figures are brought in, regardless of whether they are armed or not.
So please, tell me again how unarmed social workers are the answer.
But according to the City Council, that's precisely what they are.
City Councilmember Herb Wesson told the press, "Calling the police on George Floyd about an alleged counterfeit $20 bill ended his life. If George Floyd had been met with unarmed, trained specialists for the nonviolent crime he was accused of, he would be turning 47 years old today. This plan will save lives, and I'm so proud of my colleagues on the Council for voting to move this forward."
Right, because the police alone are the problem here.


Whether your business plan is a podcast, or you're wanting to add a podcast to your already successful business, there's no mistake that podcasting has become increasingly popular over the last several years.
Not only is it a great avenue for staying connected to your audience, but it's an incredible opportunity to meet and get to know influencers in your niche – inviting someone to come be a guest on your podcast is almost always an instant in!
And, of course, podcasting is a great money-maker in and of itself thanks to paid advertisement spots and smart affiliate marketing. With popular podcasts in almost every genre, the doors are open wide for new businesses to take advantage of this growing medium.
And, if you're ready, a WordPress website is the perfect companion to propel you along your journey.
In fact, there's a good chance that some of your favorite podcasts are actually hosted by WordPress websites already! (Bundyville, You Are Not So Smart and You're Wrong About… are all popular WordPress podcasts! Other famous WordPress podcasters include the likes of Tim Ferris, Lewis Howes and Michael Hyatt – so you know you'll be in good company when you get started).
Because WordPress is constantly being updated by its loyal community of developers and innovators, it stays up to date with the demands of businesses and their diverse website needs. As such, WordPress has made it possible to actually host podcasts right from your website. Once you have your WordPress website in place, you can record, manage and publish directly from your website's dashboard. This convenience not only makes it easy for you to get a podcast started, but if you've already been podcasting for awhile, the SEO benefits of integrating your podcast with WordPress are attractive enough to consider making the switch.
When you integrate your podcast with a WordPress website, you get instant access to a page completely designed for Podcasting Settings. Here you can set everything up for your podcast, managing details like categories, episode titles, images, etc. This streamlined configuration saves time while also making it accessible for beginners.
In the past, publishing podcasts has taken up as much time as recording the podcast itself. Thankfully, WordPress has found a way around this time drain. Inside the podcast post editor on your WordPress website, you can edit and publish with easy one-click access. So, not only can you create posts, but you can also edit and publish all from one intuitive dashboard.
Want to publish your podcast in more than one place? Working with WordPress, you can do that without spending any extra time. WordPress websites can work directly with Google Play, Spotify, Alexa, Apple and others to make sure your podcast shows up in all of the directories. To get the benefits of this service, all you have to do is submit your podcast feed to the appropriate channels. From there, WordPress will take care of the rest! After you make the initial submission, any time you add a subsequent podcast episode it will automatically get picked up by the channels you selected.
One of the reasons WordPress has become so popular in general is because of its open source platform. Podcasting with WordPress offers the same benefits, giving you the flexibility to work with designers and developers to tailor your website specifically for your podcast genre, style, etc.
WordPress is known for its plethora of plugins, which is a huge advantage if you're looking to integrate your podcast with your website. From having episodes published and embedded right on your pages to offering one-click downloads and automated summaries, chances are there's already a WordPress plugin ready to do exactly what you need to make your podcasting dreams come true.
PowerPress – One of the best plugins for managing all of your individual files, PowerPress is easy to use and especially friendly for iTunes and Google Play platforms. Using a HTML5 player, PowerPress allows you to easily add podcast episodes straight to your WordPress pages (and it looks really nice too). This plugin is also a winner because it features attractive buttons that encourage visitors to subscribe to your podcast with just one click.
Seriously Simple Podcasting – This handy plugin is a great place for beginner podcasters to start because it really is simple to use. Adding this plugin to your WordPress website gives you the ability to easily manage and upload all your podcast episodes without any superfluous features. If your goal is to get your podcast out to your audience and into the world as quickly as possible, you can't go wrong with this plugin.
Smart Podcast Player – If you like making the features on your WordPress site look nice, this plugin is a great solution. Its beautiful design upgrades your audience's listening experience, giving you control of how podcast episodes are listened to (either looping through all your episodes or highlighting just one at a time). The fact that this plugin is mobile friendly is just another bonus.
When you find a community as big as the one dedicated to WordPress, you know you've found something great. By choosing to use WordPress for your podcast, you tap into this loyal community filled with super savvy developers and designers. Want to make sure you get everything set up for your podcast just right? Making the decision to use WordPress as your launching pad is a surefire way to start off on the right foot – and give yourself the head start necessary for finding long-term success.

Pete Caldera, MLB writer Published 11:55 p.m. ET June 2, 2019 | Updated 12:39 a.m. ET June 3, 2019
NEW YORK – After another rough night in the outfield, the Yankees' Clint Frazier dropped a chance to explain matters on Sunday night.
Add an error in judgement to what went down in the Red Sox's 8-5 win at Yankee Stadium.
Through the Yankees' media relations department, Frazier declined to speak with reporters following the game, an important victory for Boston's psyche as well as its standing in the division.
Gleyber Torres spoke about his baserunning gaffe, helping to run the Yankees out of a bigger fourth inning as the pressure was mounting on David Price.
But manager Aaron Boone and a couple of teammates were the ones talking for the young right fielder who made one error, one ill-fated diving attempt and saw another ball drop and bound away for an RBI triple.
Oh, and the crowd of 40,068 made its displeasure known by booing Frazier during his next at-bat.
"Fans all want you to play mistake-free baseball,'' said Luke Voit. "You try diving for a ball to make up for the one you missed.
"But you know what, we still trust him and he's working out there every day,'' Voit said, adding that teammates are there to help keep a positive mindset.
Plus, "it's nice to have this (Monday) off day to kind of hit the reset button for him.''

In the seventh, Frazier's latest defensive misadventures further contributed to Boston's first win against the Yanks in five head-to-head meetings this season.
At the end of June, the rivals will meet again in London for the first-ever MLB regular season games played in Europe.
Right now, the defending world champion Red Sox (30-29) stand 8.5 games behind the AL East-leading Yankees (38-20), who still hold a 2.5-game lead on the second-place Tampa Bay Rays.
And perhaps the Yankees will have Giancarlo Stanton (calf) back in the outfield mix and Aaron Judge (oblique) on the horizon by month's end, threatening Frazier's playing time.

Unlucky seventh
After missing one start due to right knee inflammation, CC Sabathia's return to the Yankees rotation on Sunday lasted six innings and 83 pitches.
Boston held a 3-2 lead as Luis Cessa entered in the seventh, when the ball began to find Frazier.
Michael Chavis was on first base with one out when Eduardo Nunez's sharp, line drive single skipped under Frazier's glove as he cut toward his right.
Chavis scored on the error, which sent Nunez to third.
And that pulled the infield in for pinch-hitter Brock Holt, who dunked an RBI single over second baseman DJ LeMahieu.
After LeMahieu tracked down a difficult pop up for the second out, calling off Frazier and sliding to make the play, Andrew Benintendi sent a sinking liner to right.
Frazier's unsuccessful diving attempt resulted in more than just a single for Benintendi. The ball caromed away from Frazier, allowing Holt to score all the way from first base for a 6-2 lead.
The soon-to-be-rain-soaked crowd booed Frazier as he came to bat in the seventh (he singled, going 2-for-4 on the night).
And the fans booed him louder in the eighth, when Chavis's shallow fly ball toward the line evaded Frazier and bounced away from him for an RBI triple.
"He's working hard at it, he's got the athleticism and the tools to be really good out there,'' Boone said of Frazier's defense. "We just have to keep getting after it with him and champion the small successes.''
Frazier had an outfield assist, gunning down Eduardo Nunez attempting to stretch an RBI single in the second.
Before games on this homestand, including Sunday, Frazier has diligently spent time working on his outfield defense alongside Judge, who is due to join Stanton on Monday at Tampa, Fla., for the next phase of his rehab.
"(It's) on him, it's on us to continue to (have him) grow from the work,'' Boone said. "When you get really good at something, confidence follows.''

Starts and stops
Frazier was at the plate in the fourth when the Yankees' rally faltered against David Price.
Voit's 436-foot solo homer and Gio Urshela's hard-fought sacrifice fly – after three straight singles – cut the lead to 3-2.
With runners at the corners and two out, Torres aborted a straight steal attempt of second base.
Catcher Christian Vazquez threw to second and the Red Sox ultimately abandoned that rundown play as Aaron Hicks broke from third base toward the plate.
Hicks was eventually tagged out and Price (3-2) lasted 6.1 innings, yielding just those two runs.
It was a straight steal, not a double steal attempt, according to Torres.
"I saw I didn't have a chance (to steal second), so I tried to come back,'' Torres said.
Boone declined to delve deeply into the play, simply saying: "It didn't work out.''
With Torres hung up, Hicks "tried to take a chance to score'' and got caught.
And as an outfielder who can empathize with Frazier's plight, "it just seems like the ball's always being hit to you'' when things aren't going your way.
"You've just got to slow the game down...know what might happen before the play even starts,'' Hicks said. "And kind of just control the moment.''
Sabathia returns
Making his first start since May 22, Sabathia (3-2) yielded solo homers to J.D. Martinez (first inning) and Xander Bogaerts (fourth inning) as well as Nunez's RBI hit.
Having used his high-end setup relievers to secure victories on Friday and Saturday against Boston, manager Aaron Boone went to Cessa to begin the seventh.
Planning to retire at season's end, Sabathia received injections of cortisone and a lubricant to alleviate the chronic pain of a right knee that, he feels, will be replaced once his playing days are over.
Sabathia said he felt fine, physically, on Sunday.
He felt better about "getting as deep as possible'' on Sunday night, "knowing our bullpen was kind of short.''
