As part of its new campaign, Tata Tea is also urging people to sign a petition, requesting the human resource development ministry to make gender sensitization compulsory in schools.
Tata Tea talks about gender sensitization in new 'Jaago Re' campaign
2 min read . Updated: 25 Jul 2017, 09:13 AM IST Saumya Tewari
Through its new 'Jaago Re' advertisement, Tata Tea wants to make consumers aware of small instances of gender inequality that can take place even at home
mint-india-wire Tata TeaJaago Re campaigngender sensitizationgender inequalityadvertisementJaago Re 2.0petitionHRD ministryMullen LintasSushant Dash
New Delhi: After waging a war on corruption through citizen activism in the decade-long Jaago Re campaign, Tata Tea is highlighting the need for gender equality in its new spot. The tea brand launched the second leg of the campaign as Jaago Re 2.0 in February this year.
Made by advertising agency Mullen Lintas, the new 50-second television spot opens with a young girl asking her mother for permission to go out and play badminton with her brother. The mother refuses permission and asks her to help with the housework. The brother, on the other hand, is encouraged to go out and play with his father.
The film ends with a message "Inequality gets learnt, equality needs teaching", urging viewers to "preact" and pledge support to teaching gender sensitivity.
Through the campaign, the company wants to make consumers aware of small instances of gender inequality that can take place even at home. It wants to hold a mirror to the day-to-day lives to highlight how, as a society, we treat girls and women differently, sometimes simply because we are conditioned to do so.
"Pre-activism is about nipping the problem in the bud. In this phase, we are aiming to create over one million pre-activists who will sign the petition and pledge to bring about a real change," said Sushant Dash, regional president-India of Tata Global Beverages that owns Tata Tea
In addressing issues as pressing as crimes against women, we need to bring about a shift in attitude and teach young children to respect all genders. Therefore, gender sensitization at grassroot levels is critical to bring a wave of change and create a more gender-equitable society,".
Apart from leveraging mediums like television, print, outdoor and digital, the tea brand is also urging people to sign the petition, requesting the human resource development ministry to make gender sensitization compulsory in schools. Consumers can sign the petition through the Jaago Re website www.jaagore.com.
"Since we have built the second leg of Jaago Re campaign on the concept of 'pre-activism' (acting before an untoward event happens) we want to start the conversation of gender equality from an early age at home as well as schools," said Shriram Iyer, national creative director, Mullen Lintas.
The brand's upcoming campaign will focus on the diminishing importance of sports in the education system of the country.
Jagdish Acharya, founder and creative head at advertising agency Cut The Crap, feels that Jaago Re campaign is a stellar example of how a brand can let go of obvious branding opportunities and keep the communication focused.
To his mind, gender sensitivity is a logical step-up from corruption in the Jaago Re journey."While corruption is a public punching bag—anybody can take a dig at it—gender sensitivity lies in the private space and requires empathy for action. In that sense Jaago Re has earned its spurs to connect with people directly. I believe that connecting is the first step to bringing about a change," he said.
However, he added, the campaign is well executed and makes the point clear. His only gripe is the way the mother is portrayed as the culprit in the TV spot. "The ad almost chooses to absolve the other parent. A case of gender insensitivity on the part of the writer perhaps?" he quipped.

Q: How to create certificates for local network I have a local network (a intranet of about 50 to 70 computers) where is a Windows Server 2008 with a ASP.NET MVC application. To encrypt the connection with HTTPS i need a server certificate (not self-signed, but for deployment).
How i can do this?
I need a local CA? How i can do this?

A: The idea behind a CA is to share trust to multiple actors.
If you are to just communicate with two of your own computers, you can set up personal certificate (you can even self-sign them, could be preferable since many certificate-able application try to check signatures), then you add this certificate into the approved certificate list of the client.
Therefore, when this client tries to connect, he will be able to assess the trust of the server's certificate (basically, it will receive the certificate from the server and since you added that same certificate to the list of trusted sources, it will be accepted).
This scenario does not allow for a good scalability and should only be used for internal purposes.
For an internal network with more clients but still one server, you have the possibility to use the same technique and devise a way to deploy the certificate to all the computers (or do it for each and any of them if you want to).
The problem of this approach is that you can't add other server without generating a new certificate and deploy the new server's certificate to all clients. Then, managing your own CA becomes interesting.
To put it simply, a CA is having a root certificate (self-signed certificate) that will be used to sign other certificates. Using the chain of trust created by the certificates, you will only have to deploy the root certificate of the CA to all the machine in the network. Then they will automatically trust any certificate signed by your CA root certificate, so you can create as many server as you need, generate a certificate form them, sign it and you're set.
Note: on how to generate the certificates, please refer the documentation of certificate manager (openssl, ...) this site is not the place to explain how to use them.

A Senior Enlisted Perspective on Combat in Megacities
John Spencer | 06.12.20
In this episode of MWI's Urban Warfare Project Podcast, John Spencer is joined by Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel Hendrex. When the conversation was recorded, he was serving as command sergeant major of the 3rd Infantry Division. He has since become command sergeant major of III Corps and Fort Hood, Texas.
In 2014, Command Sgt. Maj. Hendrex was a member of the Chief of Staff of the Army's Strategic Studies Group. During that assignment, he was a member of a megacities concept team that researched the Army's preparedness to conduct operation in megacities. In the conversation you'll hear in this episode, he discusses his research on the subject of megacities and the unique perspective he brought to that research based on his experience as a senior enlisted leader in the Army. The discussion also covers the Army's general preparedness for combat in dense urban areas, especially what is necessary to train for, equip units for, and conduct operations in megacities.
The megacities report discussed in this podcast can be found here.

Lundin Petroleum AB (Lundin Petroleum) is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has appointed Alex Schneiter as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lundin Petroleum following Ashley Heppenstall's decision to step-down from his executive position with the Company, all to be effective as of 1 October 2015.
Ashley Heppenstall has recently advised the Board of his decision to step-down as President and CEO of the Company. Ashley Heppenstall has held this position since 2002, leading Lundin Petroleum's evolution and growth over the last 14 years with a more than 40-fold increase of the Company's share price. Ashley Heppenstall will remain on the Board of Lundin Petroleum.
Alex Schneiter has been Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Lundin Petroleum since inception in 2001 and has in particular been instrumental in growing Lundin Petroleum's business in Norway over the last 11 years. Alex Schneiter has been working for companies associated with the Lundin family since 1993. Alex Schneiter will commence the role of President and CEO of the Company on 1 October 2015.
Nick Walker, who recently joined the Company as Senior Vice President Development and Operations, will assume the role of COO, also effective as of 1 October 2015.
"Ashley has led Lundin Petroleum through a successful period of growth to today being one of the largest E&P companies in Europe. His contribution has been instrumental in the shareholder value creation over this period. He will remain on the Board of Lundin Petroleum as well as working closely with other companies related to our family.
Alex has been with Lundin Petroleum and its predecessor companies since 1993 and has played a major role in our success. He has had overall responsibility for all of the technical and operational aspects of the Company as well as direct control over our Norwegian business. I and the Board have full confidence that Alex, with his knowledge of the assets, operations and people of Lundin Petroleum, will do an excellent job in leading the Company and continuing to create further value for our shareholders.
I also welcome the decision to appoint Nick Walker as COO. He is an outstanding manager with a proven track record in our industry."
"It has been a privilege for me to be involved with Lundin Petroleum for the last 14 years, over which time we have created significant shareholder value. I have decided to step-down from my executive position with Lundin Petroleum at a time when the Company is well positioned for its next phase of growth. Lundin Petroleum is generating strong cash flow, the Edvard Grieg project is close to first oil and the Johan Sverdrup development is about to commence. I have worked with Alex Schneiter for over 20 years and I know that he will do an excellent job in guiding the Company through its next phase of development. I will remain on the Board and in this capacity look forward to a continued involvement in this success story."
"I welcome this opportunity to lead Lundin Petroleum through our next phase of growth and development. We will continue to focus on growing value in our Norwegian and South East Asian core areas through increasing our resource and production base. Our historical organic exploration growth strategy which led to the discoveries of Edvard Grieg and Johan Sverdrup will continue. Our financial position is strong and our asset base will deliver sufficient cash flow going forward not only to develop our existing discoveries such as Johan Sverdrup and fund exploration expenditure, but also to allow us to consider a sustainable dividend policy. The continuation of the creation of shareholder value will be my key focus."
Lundin Petroleum will host a webcast presentation at 10:00 CET today with Ian H. Lundin, Alex Schneiter and Ashley Heppenstall.
Lundin Petroleum is a Swedish independent oil and gas exploration and production company with a well balanced portfolio of world-class assets primarily located in Europe and South East Asia. The Company is listed on NASDAQ Stockholm (ticker "LUPE"). Lundin Petroleum has proven and probable reserves of 187.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe).


Near Northgate Boulevard, she was driving in the fast lane when she slammed head-on into a Dodge Challenger, killing herself and the male driver of the Dodge on impact, Hertzell said in a statement.
CHP officers responded based on the initial report of the wrong-way driver, but they were not able to stop her before the collision.
The incident shut down eastbound Interstate 80 for more than two hours as CHP conducted an investigation and the victims had to be extracted. The Sacramento County Coroner's Office is conducting toxicology tests.
The drivers have not yet been identified by the Coroner's Office.
Can blinking lights, reflectors stop Sacramento wrong-way drivers?
How do you stop wrong-way drivers on freeways?


This is an uncompromisingly racy, firm bubbly with bite! Apple, pear and toasty lees on the nose, with notes of anise and dried rose adding complexity. Dry and gripping on the palate, offering firm, refreshingly bitter redcurrant and orchard fruit flavours and a hint of blood orange.

Q: What is the most efficient way to notarize and staple a .zip containing a .app? Currently, an .app/ folder can't be submitted for notarization and must be packaged first. On the other hand, a ticket can't be stapled to a .zip after notarization is successful. Apple Documentation
This creates a process as below:

*

*Build the application

*Zip the .app/

*Submit the .zip for notarization

*Unzip the the .zip

*Staple the ticket to the .app/

*Re-zip the .app/ for distribution

Our specific use case is that our application will initially be installed by users from a .dmg while subsequent updates are downloaded through .zip. Notarizing the .dmg is very straightforward. Zipped contents are another story.
Is there a more efficient method than the steps above?

A: No Dan, you've got it. Your use case is similar to mine and that's how I do it. In my case I'm distributing a .pkg that comprises an app, an uninstaller, a couple of kernel extensions, but the concept is the same for just an app. By the way, like your dmg, I'm distributing the pkg for downloads but then zipping that pkg for Sparkle updates.
The process only seems bizarre until you think of the zip file as a way of packaging and submitting the app bundle. You want to notarize the app and staple the resulting notarization to the app bundle. You do it like this:

*

*Notarize the app by submitting a zipped package of the app bundle.

*When the notarization successfully completes, staple the result to the app bundle.

*Package the app bundle for distribution (in your case by adding it to a dmg).

*Notarize the dmg, and staple to the dmg.

For more convenience: if you do this in a makefile, the make can automatically wait for the notarizations before stapling. I do it like this:
notarizationRequestID=$(shell xcrun altool --notarize-app \
                                   --primary-bundle-id com.mycompany.appID \
                                   --username $(DEV_USERNAME)
                                   --password $(DEV_PASSWORD)
                                   --asc-provider $(DEV_PROVIDER) \
                                   --file myApp.app.zip \
              | awk '/RequestUUID/ { print $$NF; }') ;\

while ! xcrun altool --notarization-info $$notarizationRequestID \
                     --username $(DEV_USERNAME)
                     --password $(DEV_PASSWORD)
                     --asc-provider $(DEV_PROVIDER) \
                     --output-format xml \
              | grep -q 'https://osxapps-ssl.itunes.apple.com/itunes-assets' ;\
    do sleep 5 ;\
    echo "." ;\
done ;\

If you're distributing an update via Sparkle, you'll also need to gather the app cast metadata so you can paste it into your app cast.xml. At the end of the makefile:
@echo "——————————————————————————————————"
@echo "  Results for Sparkle Update XML  "
@echo "——————————————————————————————————"
@echo
@echo "version:           " `defaults read myApp.app/Contents/Info CFBundleVersion`
@echo "shortVersionString:" `defaults read myApp.app/Contents/Info CFBundleShortVersionString`
@echo "dsaSignature:      " `$MyAppSource/Libraries/Sparkle/bin/sign_update myAppInstaller.pkg.zip $MyAppSource/Resources/UpdateSigningKeys/dsa_priv.pem`
@echo "length:            " `stat -f%z "myApp.pkg`

Today I won an argument against a belligerent militant atheist.
(Topic: there's no substantial difference between the "Freedom From Religion Foundation" and the "Westboro Baptist Church." Both are oppressively intolerant of anyone who differs from their religious beliefs.)
[#] Mon Sep 23 2013 12:52:18 EDT from vince-q
It never ceases to amuse me how many people think that "separation of Church and State" is mandated by the First Amendment, which is certainly *not* the case at all.
Now if only someone could educate the SCOTUS on that point of law and set "stare decisis" straight on this point once and for all.
What the First Amendment *really* means on Church and State
What it says:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
"Respecting an establishment of religion"
We came from England. England has (and still does have) a State Church. It's the Church of England the head of which is the English Monarch, the Clerical chief bishop of which is the Archbishop of Canterbury - who does not have "pope-like" authority, but basically is a Chief Executive Officer of sorts.
THAT is what the First Amendment was aimed at avoiding.
There is absolutely nothing in the First Amendment that even hints at such things as:
1. probiting prayer in public schools
2. Nativity scenes on public property
3. Christmas plays, concerts or pageants in public schools or on public property
4. Christmas trees on public property (such as the White House)
5. Chrismas Vacation and Easter Vacation (instead of Winter Break and Spring Break - ok, calling it Easter Vacation might put somewhat of a damper on those goings-on in Florida every Spring...)
Everything that has happened that negatively impacts those things on that list up above is the result of *civil litigation* in the courts and *court* decisions based on a secularist and ****wrong**** interpretation of the Constitution's intent based on the actual language contained therein.
Remember that famous Limbaugh-ism? WORDS MEAN THINGS.
That's not what it means! Freedom of religion is freedom *from* religion, and we have a Constitutionally protected right to never ever ever come into contact with any expression of religion which offends us (and that is: ALL of them!!)
... so say the militant atheists. They're wrong, of course.
This is why I insist that atheism *is* *a* *religion*. It is a religion which teaches that no God exists. That's not the same thing as "no religion" and it's *certainly* not the same thing as "Constitutionally mandated concealment of any belief in God"
As I've mentioned countless times before, I have no problem with people being atheists (I find it disappointing but it is absolutely their perogative) ... I have a problem with people jamming atheism down our throats by lawyering up (or simply shouting a lot) every time someone displays a different belief in public.
I'd love to see Vince have a theological debate with the infamous child-molester Curly S.

I'd argue that the way my parents were raised - *required* to say the Lord's Prayer in school the same way we said the Pledge of Allegiance - might have been unfair - considering they were Jews.
OTOH, people who say moment of silence is a slippery slope obviously don't know that there are atheists who meditate... ;)
Then again, the whole world is crazy - a kid here was reprimanded for bringing tfillin (phylacteries) to a non-religious (but all-Jewish) school and allowing some of his friends to use them for prayer before school. (friends asked, so he brought to lend out!)
They said that it was religious coercion.
[#] Tue Sep 24 2013 12:07:41 EDT from IGnatius T Foobar
I'd agree that that's over the line. Coercing non-Christians to recite a Christian prayer is just as bad as the school a couple of years ago who did the "be a muslim for a week" assignment.
Here's the rub: coercing atheist practices is just as bad as coercing the practices of any other religion.
[#] Tue Sep 24 2013 16:26:18 EDT from triLcat
Yeah - it's one thing to expose children to other cultures or even talk about the theology in a general sense. I don't think it's wrong, for example, to give a history lesson that includes an overview of what Muhammed did in his life, or Jesus, or Moses, or John Smith... as long as it's in the context of history and/or literature.
I remember bringing in a dreidel and telling the kids about lighting candles. Once my mom brought in a slideshow of pictures from Israel that included the Western Wall and people praying, but all she said was "Here's the Western Wall. It's a very holy place to the Jewish people, and people pray there. Jews pray three times a day."
The question is whether it's informative, in the way that you might learn about Greek or Norse mythology, or coercive. I think there's enough space between the two. I may know who Athena and Zeus are, but nobody ever tried to convince me to pray to them... ;)

Show me one word, one phrase, one concept in the Lord's Prayer that can be construed as something other than Jewish?
Please??
The only thing "Christian" about it is that it was first uttered by Jesus Christ. A ****Jew**** by the way... ;)

Like you-know-who, I'm sure he failed to recognize that s/he/it lost
Show me one word, one phrase, one concept in the Lord's Prayer that
can be construed as something other than Jewish?
I can't. But it seems to me that the overall tone is more christian than jewish. The focus on forgiving sins, debts.
Anyway, it's not specifically a jewish religious ritual.
Sep 25 2013 2:57pm from LoanShark
I can't. But it seems to me that the overall tone is more christian
than jewish. The focus on forgiving sins, debts.
Most of what Western Europeans and North Americans consider as "Jewish" is a curious mixture of Torah, Talmud, Tradition, and the Kabbalah.
For Orthodox Judaism it's simple. If it isn't in the Torah, it isn't required of Jews. And if it *is* in the Torah it's ***mandatory***.
But in any event the Lord's Prayer is a *prayer* and not a *ritual*.
In the Lord's Prayer there is only one sentence dealing with "forgiving" and "debts"/trespasses.
In phonetic Hebrew it goes like this:
U-SLACH LONU ET HOVOTHEYNU
KA-ASHER SOLACHNU GAM ANACHNU L'HA-YAVAYNU
"Forgive us our sins
As we (have forgiven) [or] (forgive) those who sinned against us."
Not my translation; I am not in any way fluent in Hebrew. And in fact, that portion of the New Testament was most likely originally in Aramaic. And I know even *less* of that! ;)
To work at the true intent of the Lord's Prayer would require an in-depth analysis of the influence of Essene/Zealot socio-polical thought on Jesus Christ. And most of that would be pure speculation.
The bottom line? The Lord's Prayer is quite possibly as close to a "perfect nondenominational prayer" as we are likely to get.

Seems to me that if I repeat a *specific* prayer every morning (mandatory at school) it becomes also a ritual.

So long as you say it. I grew up in the 70's and had parents that rejected the same notions and I skipped out on that.

Seems to me that if I repeat a *specific* prayer every morning
(mandatory at school) it becomes also a ritual.
First, we were not discussing the prayer in the context of public (or other) school recitation in an 'assembly situation' (and yes, saying the prayer in homeroom or other class situation is a school assembly situation, not a church).
Next, as much as it may not be in the Citadel Tradition, please stay on topic. Getting off the topic is a distraction. That may work in the US Senate or the House of Representatives where the practitioner(s) and/or the recipient(s) of the "technique" are intellectual nonentities..
I absolutely assure you that is not the case here.
So please. Don't do that. It irritates me (not important).
And (this *is* important) it dilutes the integrity of the dialog.
[#] Thu Sep 26 2013 12:52:44 EDT from LoanShark
Uhh vince... yes we *were* discussing the Lord's Prayer in *exactly* *that* *context.*
As such, your heavy-handed response is inappropriate.
So long as you say it. I grew up in the 70's and had parents that
rejected the same notions and I skipped out on that.
Well, I was raised by agnostics -- who sent me to Christian Sunday School to broaden my horizons, and then subtly undermined everything I'd been taught, once I was back home.
I have a weird perspective as a result, I suppose.

Actually, Vince, that's not correct.
There is a specific Jewish sect that believes that if something is not in the Tanach that it's not required. They are called Karaites.
However, most of Orthodox Jewry very much considers Talmud, Mishnah, and many aspects of Tradition and Kabbalah mandatory. In fact, much of rabbinic Orthodoxy holds that if a tradition is practiced continuously in the same way by the same community over X amount of time, it gains the strength of law for that community.

Wow, does that ever sound so very Roman Catholic!
The Roman church position is that there are three Authorities:
1. Sacred Scripture (Old and New Testaments)
2. Tradition (as you stated, "practiced contiously... strenght of law")
3. The Magisterium (the Teaching Authority of the Church)
Nobody (usually, at least) argues with #1. Few argue with #2, however if you allow enough time then tradition can change. Example... there is as much opposition today to Rome's return to the Tridentine Mass and re"legalization" of Latin Masses as there was back in the late 1960s and early 1970s when Rome moved the Liturgy into the vernacular. Times change; people change; and Tradition can change with either.
Now, #3, on the other hand, causes much mayhem and discord - even to the point of disintegration, as in the Reformation. As in the Great Schism (see prior post on the "Filioque" episode).
Not so much today - at least in the large scale.
Hmmmm.... we need more Jews!

2019. A new year often brings new hopes and intentions. A clean slate. A chance for a fresh start. Time to do the things we intended to do last year but were just too busy to make them happen. Doesn't the thought of new opportunities and a better year give you energy? It certainly does for most of us!
"Fail to plan, plan to fail." The first step you must take if 2019 is going to be a better year for you than 2018 is to take the time to put together a plan. This plan will be the roadmap to your success in the year ahead. "Oh, I'm too busy and it's too much trouble to actually take the time to sit down and map out a 2019 plan for myself." If this is your excuse, then you need to consider the following (with thanks to Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland). "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" said Alice. "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cheshire Cat. "I don't much care where," said Alice. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
For 2019 to be your year, you must have a plan. How important to yourself are you? Hopefully very important! If so, look at the time needed to put together your 2019 plan for success as an investment in yourself. Here are some suggestions to help you get started with your 2019 plan for success.
Sit down, with no distractions, and make three lists. The first list is all the important decisions you made in 2018 that were good ones.
The second list is all 2018 decisions that turned out to be bad. Now write down what you should have done that would have made each a good decision. Why is this important? If you learn from your past mistakes, then you are less likely to make the same bad decisions in the future.
The third list is both your personal and professional goals for 2019. Whether the list is short or long is not important, so long as it includes the things that would give you the most personal and professional satisfaction if achieved.
Now take the third list and list each goal at the top of a separate page.
Under each goal, write down a list of numbered action items, in order of necessary completion, that you (or someone else) must do to accomplish that goal.
Now next to each numbered action item, write a date "to be completed by or before".
Look over your list of 2019 goals and put each goal in order of importance to you.
Now review the action items beneath each goal with the "to be completed by or before" dates and realize that some of those action items may not be completed by the date you've listed. What's next is very important and what often separates those who fail from those who succeed. Those who succeed will immediately revise the action item dates for that goal with a realistic timeline and begin working toward that goal again. Don't give up because you miss an action item timeline. Adjust the timeline schedule and attack it with renewed energy!
As you work through each goal and its corresponding timeline, be flexible. Know that life happens and, on each goal, you will face detours and roadblocks. Don't be surprised, expect them. The important thing is that with each detour and roadblock, you find a way to go around or over it. Be prepared to change direction if necessary, and take a different path to ultimately achieve that goal. If you make a bad decision, be prepared with a "Plan B", and don't give up!
As you achieve your goals, one by one, celebrate your victories! Let each victory and celebration give you even more energy and determination as you continue to work to achieve your remaining 2019 plan for success goals.
Finally, as part of your 2019 plan for success, make sure that part of your plan includes "me time". That time invested in yourself should include planning a proper diet and getting enough sleep and exercise. Overlooking any one of these three things will rob you of the health and energy necessary to achieve your goals.
Can 2019 be your year? With the proper planning, focus, and determination to stick to your plan, yes it can! Live, love, laugh, and good luck!

A perennial Heart: The organ as a Catholic and Protestant visual motif in the culture and devotion of New Spain, the Netherlands and Germany in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
My research asks how the visual motif of the heart was used by dissimilar religious agents in two contrasting cultural and political contexts: Roman Catholic visual culture and devotional practice fostered, especially, by the Society of Jesus in the Viceroyalty of New Spain in the eighteenth century; and images of the heart in Protestant visual culture in the Netherlands and Germany in the seventeenth century, and in the German Protestant mystical tradition, represented by Jacob Böhme. The study of this motif allows us to analyse the similarities and differences in the perception and representation of the individual's role in relation to the divine in the two institutional and cultural contexts. The study will focus on a concrete corpus of images, chosen according to a common denominator among the religious agents to be studied, namely the debate concerning the Eucharist and its relationship to the visual medium and the motif of the heart.
Because of the ways in which images express and transform currents in religious thought, thus providing light to unforeseen connections and discussions that would hardly have been inferred from written sources, I consider that they are crucial to carry out a fruitful analysis of the devotional, ritual, and spiritual lived history of Christianity.

It's Crunch Time For Some NASCAR Notables
Posted August 14, 2014 by Jimmy Mac
Today's pop quiz: what do Greg Biffle, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Martin Truex Jr. and Tony Stewart have in common? Well actually, two things come to mind: all five of these drivers have been in the Chase since its 2004 inception, and secondly, if the Chase started today, they would be on the outside looking in. Fortunately for this quintet, there are four more races to go, and there are drivers ahead of them currently in the Chase grid who don't have a win.
The good news is that four of these drivers have wins at the final four tracks before the race begins. Biffle has four wins at Michigan, and Vickers has also visited victory lane at the Brooklyn, Michigan venue. Kahne has wins at all four tracks- including two at Atlanta. Stewart's illustrious career has included wins at all four- including three apiece at Atlanta and Richmond.
It won't be easy. While Dale Earnhardt Jr., Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards and Joey Logano are already locked in with multiple wins, nine spots remain up for grabs. Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Aric Almirola and Kurt Busch all have wins, but all sit between 15th and 24th in the overall standings. Assuming none have a complete collapse- and somehow finish outside the top 30- that really only leaves four spots to be claimed by winless drivers on points.
If the Chase started today, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Larson, Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman's point totals would get them into the 16 driver playoff. Any one or all of those four are strong candidates to nab a win by Richmond's end, so you can see a crowded field charging like hungry hounds fighting over a pork chop as the schedule winds down.
When you add to that the names of Austin Dillon, Jamie McMurray, and Marcos Ambrose as winless drivers inside the top 20, there are an insane number of scenarios that could play out. Not the least of these are the fates of AJ Allmendinger, Aric Almirola and Kurt Busch, who all sit outside the top 20 and COULD find themselves on the outside looking in if a major slump hits.
Kahne, Biffle, Stewart, Vickers and Truex have their challenges. Kahne has fallen victim to bad luck. Biffle's team- Roush Fenway Racing- has lost its status as Ford's flagship team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Vickers, like Kahne, has experienced a roller coaster. It's not even a given that Stewart will race at Michigan, while the tragic incident he was a part of works itself out. As is this is being written, we learned that Truex's girlfriend is battling ovarian cancer, so for starters, Matt Crafton will pilot his 78 car at practice and qualifying at Michigan.
It's quite an eclectic group of upstarts and established racing veterans vying for Chase berths. Who will emerge victorious? One thing is for certain in 2014, nothing's certain.

OADR Urges stronger Gov't-Private Partnership to settle disputes, build peace
Committed to providing all avenues for speedy resolution of legal cases, the Philippine government is urging stronger cooperation between public and private sectors to settle disputes and build peace. Thus spoke Atty. Ma. Christina Abalos-Naig, a director of the Office for Alternative Dispute Resolution (OADR), an attached agency under the Department of Justice established under Republic Act No. 9285, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 2004.
OADR is mandated to promote, develop and expand the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the private and public sectors; assist the government to monitor, study and evaluate the use by the public and the private sectors s
of ADR, and; recommend to Congress needed changes to develop, strengthen and improve ADR practices in the country and make them at par with international standards.
Atty. Naig was guest during the online Bridges forum of the Mediators' Network for Sustainable Peace, held 11 November 2020. She said OADR is aware that many civil society organizations (CSOs) are practicing ADR, and thus should apply for OADR accreditation so they could access trainings and other services by government and standardize their procedures.
To date, OADR has already filled in more than half of its 63 plantilla positions to strengthen itself in coping with demands for its services, like the training of thousands of participants from all levels of government, civil society, academia and other sectors.
The OADR coordinates with government and civil society groups coming from the mediation and arbitration professions like the National Center for Mediation (NCM), Integrated Bar of the Philippines, academe and other alternative dispute resolution provider organizations (APOs).
OADR regularly corresponds with APOs like the Philippine International Center for Conflict Resolution (PICCR), Conflict Resolution Group Foundation, Inc. (CORE), Philippine Dispute Resolution Center, Inc. (PDRCI), and Philippine Institute of Arbitrators (PIArb).
Currently, the OADR-Public Information and Promotion Division is conducting its Online Webinar Series, and ODR- Training Program and Development Division the Online Courses.
The OADR-Accreditation and Certification Division has added online procedures in managing applications leading to the surge in the number of OADR-accredited and certified ADR Provider Organizations (APOs) and Practitioners. OADR gives certificates to those who have joined their trainings.
This 2020, trainings included basic mediation, commercial mediation, and mediation involving intellectual property rights, among others. Thousands of members of the Barangay Lupon Tagapamayapa were also trained, as well as personnel from government agencies that discharge legal and quasijudicial functions like the Department of Interior and Local Government and Department of Agrarian Reform.
The OADR is mandated to train the members of the Barangay Lupon Tagapamayapa, a unit within the barangay, the most basic local government unit in the Philippines. The Lupon works for the extrajudicial settlement of disputes involving barangay residents, thus preventing small disputes from entering the judicial system and clogging the court dockets. This way, peace inside communities is upheld and maintained.
Since the online training platform has magnified OADR's reach, reaching more than 150,000 in one webinar, more trainings will be conducted next year, especially for the private sector, said Atty. Naig.
OADR has also lately convened APOs to a consultative meeting to start off discussions on reconstituting the OADR Advisory Council, a move that is expected to strengthen government-civil society engagement. The OADR Advisory Council will advise the OADR Executive Director on policy, operational and other relevant matters.
The agency is now working with the Department of Education for inclusion of more substantial content on different ADR forms such as mediation in the learning modules for children in basic education.
Together with lawyer groups like the Integrated Bar of the Philippines and legal educators, the OADR seeks to include more items on ADR in the legal curriculum and the bar examinations.
OADR's plans for 2021 include the establishment of a Resource Center and its own, independent website to optimize its reach to different sectors.
At the end of the Bridges forum, OADR and MedNet agreed to collaborate on training and drafting training modules for the Katarungang Pambarangay and for government agencies.

The man came to some sort of consciousness with a start, staring at a stark old man dressed in black, who scratched an eye and moved a lock of grey hair back in place.
He tapped a book on a table, neither of which the dead man had noticed before.
"It's up to you to define yourself. You were in this book, alive, with meaning – but you turned that to ash." He flecked some lint from his sleeve. "It's a compulsion of mine, you see, to try to find a reason, a foundation of understanding about who you were, which might define who you are.
"I so hate loose ends, you might say.
With an inward stare, the dead man began to talk.
"I planned for years. I was an engineer; I wanted to have a world where things were better, somehow. I could build. I could fix. I was good at it.
"But nothing worked. The more I poured myself into the world, the more broken it became; all I did was learn how useless I was, in the end.
"I lived for beauty, but all beauty did was pass away.
"And you were a good engineer, yes," the old man agreed, nodding.
"The things that made me good at my job, well, they allowed me to see the entire lifetime of everything I touched. And all I could see was the end: worthlessness, death, ruin.
"Well, that's what made sense. As an engineer, I wasn't allowed to scream. I wasn't allowed to feel the pain of everything I saw and felt. But as a comedian?
"Well, there I could scream all I wanted. I could say everything, anything. I could echo my soul on stage, and express every ounce of pain – and the audience could hear me. And laugh.
"I knew what I wanted, even then.
The old man chuckled, while the dead man continued.
"So on stage, I could be suicidal, destructive… and it was reversed. The audience could nod, and laugh, and I could cry for them. It was a dance.
"All I had to do was wait.
The old man smiled with no warmth in his eyes. "I'm afraid I understand. You are no different than some of the others; trying to rescue yourself from your own pain, you shared it with others, and continued even after your suicide by proxy. Welcome to Hell; you are denied even the nothingness you thought you'd become.
And the old man faded from view.

Do Its Financials Have Any Role To Play In Driving JF Technology Berhad's (KLSE:JFTECH) Stock Up Recently?
JF Technology Berhad (KLSE:JFTECH) has had a great run on the share market with its stock up by a significant 19% over the last month. As most would know, fundamentals are what usually guide market price movements over the long-term, so we decided to look at the company's key financial indicators today to determine if they have any role to play in the recent price movement. Specifically, we decided to study JF Technology Berhad's ROE in this article.
Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company's management is utilizing the company's capital. Simply put, it is used to assess the profitability of a company in relation to its equity capital.
See our latest analysis for JF Technology Berhad
How Is ROE Calculated?
The formula for return on equity is:
Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity
So, based on the above formula, the ROE for JF Technology Berhad is:
12% = RM16m ÷ RM130m (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2022).
The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. That means that for every MYR1 worth of shareholders' equity, the company generated MYR0.12 in profit.
What Has ROE Got To Do With Earnings Growth?
We have already established that ROE serves as an efficient profit-generating gauge for a company's future earnings. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics.
JF Technology Berhad's Earnings Growth And 12% ROE
To start with, JF Technology Berhad's ROE looks acceptable. Yet, the fact that the company's ROE is lower than the industry average of 15% does temper our expectations. Still, we can see that JF Technology Berhad has seen a remarkable net income growth of 40% over the past five years. We believe that there might be other aspects that are positively influencing the company's earnings growth. For example, it is possible that the company's management has made some good strategic decisions, or that the company has a low payout ratio. However, not to forget, the company does have a decent ROE to begin with, just that it is lower than the industry average. So this certainly also provides some context to the high earnings growth seen by the company.
We then compared JF Technology Berhad's net income growth with the industry and we're pleased to see that the company's growth figure is higher when compared with the industry which has a growth rate of 18% in the same period.
past-earnings-growth
Earnings growth is a huge factor in stock valuation. What investors need to determine next is if the expected earnings growth, or the lack of it, is already built into the share price. Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. Is JF Technology Berhad fairly valued compared to other companies? These 3 valuation measures might help you decide.
Is JF Technology Berhad Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?
JF Technology Berhad has a significant three-year median payout ratio of 54%, meaning the company only retains 46% of its income. This implies that the company has been able to achieve high earnings growth despite returning most of its profits to shareholders.
Additionally, JF Technology Berhad has paid dividends over a period of eight years which means that the company is pretty serious about sharing its profits with shareholders.
On the whole, we do feel that JF Technology Berhad has some positive attributes. Namely, its significant earnings growth, to which its moderate rate of return likely contributed. While the company is paying out most of its earnings as dividends, it has been able to grow its earnings in spite of it, so that's probably a good sign. Until now, we have only just grazed the surface of the company's past performance by looking at the company's fundamentals. You can do your own research on JF Technology Berhad and see how it has performed in the past by looking at this FREE detailed graph of past earnings, revenue and cash flows.
