The Brooke Roberts Innovation Agency (BRIA) are artists-in-residence at King's. Working in collaboration with Dr Matthew Howard, Lecturer in Informatics (Robotics), BRIA will be resident in the Department of Informatics on a project exploring digital knitwear design and the development of experimental 'wearable' textiles.
Experimental smart textiles is a collaborative project focused on combining the project team's expertise in digital knitwear design and sensor-embedded yarns with the ongoing 'wearables' research of Dr Matthew Howard and his team at King's. The project involves experimenting with various materials and knitting techniques to create a variety of textiles using industrial knitting machines. The 'wearables' will sense, actuate and capture human behavioural data through embedded sensors in the materials.
One of the greatest challenges in the 'wearables' sector today is how to achieve both aesthetics and functionality in textiles. During the project, BRIA have collaborated with roboticists at King's in order for their creative process to be informed by informatics research. In turn, BRIA's artistic practice brings new ideas and approaches to experimental textile design.
The project team work with multiple materials and knitting structures, using electrical testing equipment in the Department of Informatics to analyse the experimental fabrics' properties.
As part of the project, BRIA and Matthew delivered knitting workshops for students in the Wheatstone Lab, Faculty of Natural & Mathematical Sciences, a shared working, making and learning facility at King's, which allowed them the opportunity to integrate knitting techniques and textile construction into their materials research and practice.
The smart textiles created during project were presented at the V&A Museum during the Digital Design Weekend 2017 as well as at the E-Stitches workshop programme, also at the V&A Museum.
Brooke Roberts-Islam is a digital knitwear designer and consultant, who also has over a decade of experience as a diagnostic radiographer within the NHS. She is co-director of the Brooke Roberts Innovation Agency (BRIA) who create materials-tech collaborations, products and installations with brands from both the fashion and technology sectors.
She is passionate about combining science, technology and fashion in her own work and has also achieved this through collaborations with the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, amongst others, and has spoken about experimental textiles at events, including the Wired Next Generation conference and the launch of London Technology Week in 2016.
Further to this, Brooke has recently started developing 'smart textiles' and 'wearables' through her own agency, Brooke Roberts Ltd, for a number of fashion labels and businesses, directly combining her knowledge of the latest developments in the fashion-technology sector with her cross-discipline approach to developing new materials.
In addition to her design and materials development work, Brooke is a fashion-technology blogger for the Huffington Post UK and her own blog, Techstyler, lending opinion and sharing interviews from the crossroads of fashion-technology, from a fashion designer's perspective. In 2013, Brooke was voted onto The Hospital Club's 100 list of the most influential and innovative creatives in the UK, as well as being voted onto KPMG's Shift 100 list for retail technology entrepreneurs in 2017.

Gage Hecht powers to victory at U.S. Cyclocross Nationals
Gage Hecht sprinted to an early lead and then held off Curtis White and Stephen Hyde to win the men's elite cyclocross title.
Gage Hecht attacked early and never looked back.
Hecht, 22, won the men's elite title at Sunday's USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships after leading for the entire race. Hecht simply had more power than his chasers along the muddy track, finishing ahead of Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com teammates Curtis White and Stephen Hyde.
"It's amazing. This is something I've dreamed about since I was 10 or 12 years old racing here," Hecht said after crossing the line in Lakewood, Washington. "It's really exciting."
The victory capped off a high-speed chase between Hecht and the Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld duo along the muddy, technical track. Hecht was fastest from the gun and sprinted to an early lead on the opening lap.
Behind, it was Kerry Werner (Kona-Maxxis-Shimano) who led the chase, with Hyde and White on his wheel. Werner put in a burst of speed near the end of the opening lap to catch Hecht, and the two rode on ahead, with White and Hyde chasing five seconds behind.
The battle seemed to be set between Werner and Hecht, two talented cyclocrossers with different strengths. Werner excels in mud and technical riding, while Hecht owns the most raw power of any rider in the field.
But on the ensuing lap disaster struck on a bumpy descent. Hecht hit a series of ruts and careened into the red course tape, and as he steered back onto the course, the tape snapped and came with him.
Werner seemed to get tangled in the tape, and flew off his bike and onto the muddy track.
The mishap was the defining moment of the U.S. men's race. Werner lost Hecht's wheel and was passed by White and Hyde; he eventually remounted his bicycle and battled for the top-five.
Ahead, Hecht powered away.
" I was just trying to hold onto things—I blew through the tape because there were some leaves that covered the rut," Hecht said. "That freaked me out a bit, and I shot into the spectators. To see Kerry flip over his bike on the right side of me, I felt terrible, and I hate to see that happen. It messed with my head for a lap, and I got back into the swing of things a lap later."
White and Hyde worked together along the course, and took turns putting in surges to try and bring back Hecht. At one point the gap was inside five seconds; the teammates looked as though they might close the gap entirely.
But Hecht's superior power tipped the scales in his favor. After every lap he tucked into an aerodynamic time trial position as he pedaled along the long section of road, widening his gap to the chasers.
And at the beginning of the final lap, it became clear that the gap was no longer shrinking.
"The gap was growing at that point," Hecht said. "Curtis may have been closing it down at the beginning, but I knew that going up to the top of the hill, it was going to be the end of the race. I was just laying down the last bit of gas there."
The victory marks the biggest win of Hecht's cyclocross career. He was third in the elite field at the 2018 USA Cycling championships, despite being eligible to race in the Under-23 division. In 2017 he finished second place in the Under-23 division.
"I haven't won a national title in four years so it's super exciting to get the elite [title]," Hecht said.

LIVINGSTON Cain, the juror accused of bribing fellow jurors in the Vybz Kartel (Adidja Palmer) murder trial, yesterday had his bail extended and will return to the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on October 18.
On his last court appearance in September, Cain's attorney, Queen's Counsel Valerie Neita Robertson, made a no-case submission after the prosecution closed its case. Consequently, presiding Parish Judge Maxine Ellis, who had indicated that she needed time to familiarise herself with the evidence, postponed setting a date for the ruling.
But yesterday when the matter was mentioned the prosecutor asked for a new date to be scheduled. Cain's attorney had indicated from the last occasion that she would not be present as she would be in a trial in the Supreme Court.
Neita Robertson, in her no-case submission, argued that her client is entitled to his own analysis of the evidence regarding several areas of the evidence.
Cain is being tried on six counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice and one count of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, following allegations that he was captured on a phone recording offering the jury foreman in the Kartel murder trial $500,000 for a not-guilty verdict.
He is also accused of approaching other jurors and promising one of them that he would "take care of him" if he returned a not-guilty verdict.
The charges stemmed from allegations that between the start of Vybz Kartel's murder trial in the Home Circuit Court on November 18, 2013 and the handing down of a verdict in March 2014, Cain tried to persuade his fellow jurors to return a verdict of not guilty and even offered the jury forewoman $500,000 for a result in favour of Vybz Kartel and his co-accused.

Q: Can Formulas Automatically Update in Excel Services 2007? I currently have two spreadsheets housed in Excel Services in a Sharepoint Hub.  These two spreadsheets are linked.  However, the values on my main spreadsheet will only update 1. if the source document is opened or 2. if I click the Edit Links button and then click the Update Values button.  I tried clicking the Startup Prompt button in the Edit Links dialogue and selecting "Don't display the alert and update links", but that didn't work.   Is there any programming that can be added to the main spreadsheet to force it to update values without needing to click on the Edit Links button and then click on Update Values?  If I have these same two documents housed on my computer, the links update when the main document is open.  Is there a way to get the spreadsheets to act this way in SharePoint?
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Shocking Origin: Meteor Impacts and the Chemistry of Life
Arianna Gleason
Thursday, May 27, 2021 05:00 pm
Below is a recording of this lecture which is available on SLAC's YouTube channel.
When and where life originated on Earth – and if, or where, life exists elsewhere in the cosmos – are some of the biggest scientific questions of our time. Even the origin of the basic materials needed for life is a mystery. Meteorites and comets are often cited as potential sources of simple organic molecules. When these impact Earth, they experience extreme conditions – pressures a million times higher than the atmospheric pressure at Earth's surface and temperatures as hot as the surface of the sun. Under these conditions, the simple molecules can reform into more complex and novel structures, including nucleotide bases for RNA and DNA. We can study how these organic fragments form and how they can build up complex products using SLAC's X-ray free-electron laser. With observations that take place in a tiny fraction of a second, we can shock-compress materials to create extreme conditions and visualize the breaking and forming of chemical bonds. In this presentation, I will show how this technique may hold the key to revealing the origin of life via complex chemical dynamics taking place on ultrafast time scales and at ultrahigh pressures and temperatures.
Arianna Gleason received her PhD in earth and planetary science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2010. After a postdoctoral appointment at Stanford University, she worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the shock and detonation physics group. She joined SLAC in 2018 as a staff scientist. Her passion is visualizing the behavior and response of materials across all length scales in the most extreme environments possible in nature – from planetary cores to stellar interiors. This allows her to uncover nature's secrets of high-pressure mineral physics and planetary evolution from the atomic level up. In 2019, she received the Department of Energy Office of Science Early Career Award in fusion energy science.
As an undergraduate at the University of Arizona, Gleason worked for Spacewatch, searching for Near Earth Objects. She was fortunate to discover the short period comet now called Gleason and the Main Belt Asteroid 10639, named Asteroid Gleason in 2001. Now she seeks to understand how collisions of objects like these with Earth may initiate life.

on the actor's trail
'The magic of the artist': How Brijendra Kala aces the smallest roles each and every time
The 'Paan Singh Tomar' and 'Jab We Met' actor, known for his inimitable mannerisms, will be seen in 'Gulabo Sitabo'.
Devarsi Ghosh
Jun 08, 2020 · 04:00 pm
Brijendra Kala. | Rajya Sabha TV.
In an early scene in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Paan Singh Tomar, a question by Brijendra Kala's journalist character, "How did you become a dacoit?", gives Irrfan's titular bandit the opening for one of the late actor's most memorable lines ever: "You find rebels in the ravines, dacoits you get at the parliament."
This has been the highlight of Kala's two-decade acting career – providing able support to the star while also holding his own. Other examples include his laidback taxi driver in Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met (2007), the idol seller in Rajkumar Hirani's PK (2014), the next-door neighbour in Rajat Kapoor's Ankhon Dekhi (2014), and the marriage fixer in Aanand L Rai's Zero (2018).
In these films and countless others, the 55-year-old actor shares key scenes with the leads while also elevating his bit roles into something more flavourful. Kala has an inimitably wry way of delivering dialogue, slow at one minute and so quick in the next that he's nearly incomprehensible, accompanied by slight but deliberate movements.
Kala has a similar role in Shoojit Sircar's Gulabo Sitabo, which is out on Amazon Prime Video on June 12. Kala's Lucknow lawyer shares several scenes with Amitabh Bachchan's eccentric landlord Mirza who wants to get rid of his brash tenant Banke (Ayushmann Khurrana).
"After four-five takes of a scene, Shoojit said it's all good, but then Amitabh sir said, wait, Kala ji, why don't you do this scene one more time, but in your own style, just as how you would do it," Kala told Scroll.in. "That for me was a big moment, seeing Amitabh sir being aware of what each actor does in their other works."
Gulabo Sitabo (2020).
Kala had high praise for Juhi Chaturvedi's screenplay: "Usually with my roles, I'd say that what you see on the screen is 50 per cent contribution from the writer and director and 50 per cent my own hard work. But with Gulabo Sitabo, my character was all there on the page. The last time this happened was in Paan Singh Tomar."
Since first appearing in Dhulia's directorial debut Haasil, Kala has notched up over 60 acting credits. While he has never had one major role, he is a most dependable actor, whatever the movie.
"I cannot remember ever auditioning for a film role," Kala said. "Usually directors have already decided me for a role, and they get the casting director to contact me. For films, I have only done look tests, and then I am immediately on set. I have only auditioned for TV ads."
Jab We Met (2007).
Kala describes his journey from his hometown in Uttarakhand to the glitz and glamour of the Mumbai film industry as the story of a "small-towner who has had to do everything possible to reach his goal."
Kala was born in Sumari village in Pauri Garhwal district to a games superintendent in a veterinary college and a housewife. "I had three sisters, and I came from a middle-class home, which meant my family wanted me to join some government service," Kala recalled. "So I studied BSc. also, but I had plans to act."
As a child, Kala and his school buddies would regularly perform for the All India Radio programmes Balgopal and Yuvavani, transmitted from the Akashvani office in the nearby Uttar Pradesh town of Mathura.
A chance meeting there with film writer Achala Nagar (Nagina, Baghban), the daughter of Hindi writer Amritlal Nagar, was an early turning point. Kala joined her theatre group Swastik Rangmandal. Over the next 17-18 years, he acted in plays across India in cities like Delhi, Lucknow, and Mumbai.

Around this time, Kala applied to the National School of Drama, and later, the Shree Ram Centre for Performing Arts' repertory. When neither worked out, Kala promised to himself in "filmi style" to forget Delhi and make it in Mumbai.
After reaching Mumbai in the early 1990s, Kala began assisting filmmakers such as Chander H Behl and helped Nagar with her writing assignments. These helped him pay his bills, but roles were hard to come by.
"One time, I took a reference letter from a cinematographer to a producer's office, asking for a role," Kala recalled. "They made me sit, have tea, then the filmmaker comes and tells me, see we have actors like Kiran Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Sonu Walia, Satish Shah, so you tell me, how can we pan the camera and show you? I did not understand if he meant I am not as good as these actors or if I am short so they can't put me in the same frame."

During this phase, Kala forged strong friendships with fellow strugglers, with whom he later collaborated, including Saurabh Shukla, Manoj Pahwa, Manoj Bajpayee, Sanjay Mishra, and Dhulia. Among Kala's early roles in television was in the series Hum Bambai Nahi Jayenge, directed by Dhulia, which also featured Irrfan and Mishra.
"Those days we did not have much work but our constant banter and dreams saw us through," Kala recalled. "And we kept chalking up plans for projects we could all work together in." This led Kala to writing Bhoron Ne Khilaya Phool, one of the funniest episodes of the short-lived anthology series Star Bestsellers. Directed by Dhulia, Kala's story followed a bunch of men conspiring against each other to win the heart of the local beauty. Irrfan played her father.
Television roles followed, alongside writing work for Ekta Kapoor's soaps, including Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki. But Kala's heart wasn't in television. He yearned for a break in the movies. He had a small role in Aditya Bhattacharya's unreleased Dubai Return. His first release was Haasil, in which he played a newspaper vendor who helps the hero (Jimmy Sheirgill) send a love letter to the right address.
Brijendra Kala in Haasil (2003).
It wasn't until the back-to-back releases in 2007 and 2008 of Jab We Met and Mithya that Kala found recognition.
Mithya, written and directed by Rajat Kapoor, starred Kala as Shyam, a small-time crooked cop working for Naseeruddin Shah's crime boss. Kala shared terrific chemistry with his equally impish partner Ram (Vinay Pathak).
Why has Kala become so indispensable in a film? The actor attributes this to his ability to evoke "apnapan", or fellow feeling, through his characters.
"See what roles will I get in life?" Kala said. "Father, grandfather, uncle, or some government employee. In fact, I have played some cop or the other in nine-ten films. But what makes one inspector different from another? Therein comes the magic of the artist, who can correctly capture the right rhythm for each part."

Welcome to a new term. To start this term, we're delving into the wonderful world of genres. We'll investigate what genres really are, how a text fits into a genre and what elements we need to look for when identifying genre. We'll explore through reading, viewing and writing in different genres, and we'll experiment to see what happens when genres blend and change.
For this fortnight's journal, everyone wrote a quote or a piece of dialogue on a piece of paper. We put everyone's ideas into a bucket and then everyone picked out someone else's thought. You need to integrate that quote into a piece of writing.
As always, this task should be between 400 – 500 words and is due to be uploaded by Thursday 30th July. Have fun and happy writing!

The final coat of varnish has gone onto the canoe, so we're off to find some ice cold water to try it out on!
Camping at Loch Morlich Campsite Fri/Sat/Sun of the Easter Weekend, with a day trip to Loch an Eilean on Sat or Sun (may do Loch Gamhna too if the portage looks easy enough).
If anybody else is looking for somewhere to go at the weekend, you're welcome to join us. Some pics are of course called for, just to whet your appetite!
Come on - you know you want to!!
Can't make this weekend due to family commitments but hope you might have the chance to pop over to Inchcialloch the following week.
Some pics are of course called for, just to whet your appetite!
It's tempting, but unfortunately we have other commitments next weekend.
If you are planning on camping at Loch Morlich be sure to book in advance. We were up that way several times last year testing out canoes and eventually buying one . We didn't manage to get into the Glenmore campsite once, it was always full .
I went a walk round Loch an Eilean last summer and have fancied paddling on it since i got my canoe and explore the castle etc.
Did you manage to portage to Loch Gamhna?
Does anybody know any other good paddling in that area? Im trying to integrate lots of paddling into a weeks camping in the area. I was thinking about Loch morlich but thought that might be a bit crowded.
Hi Paddler, I'm afraid the weekend we went, the weather was terrible, so we hardly got out in the boat (hail and gale force winds!). However, Loch an Eilean is still very much on my to do list!
I'm not sure about landing on the island itself, as the castle is a pretty delicate monument. However, I've heard that if you paddle around it and shout, there's an interesting echo at one point .
Within the same area, I believe the trip on the Spey from Newtonmore through Loch Insch is a 'must do', but others on here will be able to advise better. Loch Morlich is a lovely loch, but very crowded in the summer. The Morlich campsite is also likely to be mobbed, but no great shame, as there are better sites elsewhere.
Hi again - another thing I just thought of, there was an access dispute over Loch an Eilean until recently. This has all been sorted out now, but you can read more on this thread.
PM me with your E-mail address if you'd like a copy of the Park Authority's E-mail to take with you just in case!
Thanks for that. We got out paddling on both Loch morlich and an eilean. Morlich was very busy but still great scenery to canoe in. We were the only people on Loch an eilean, couldnt discover the weird echo but didnt get hassled about canoeing either.
Both are really nice lochs and well worth the trip. Going to try some river running soon hopefully too.

White House: President Biden, 79, will run for reelection in 2024
The White House has announced that US President Joe Biden, who was the oldest individual to be inaugurated when he was sworn in January, intends to run for reelection in 2024.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki made the announcement on Monday following a flurry of reports on discussions among Democrats about whether Biden would follow through on a bid for a second term.
"That's his intention," Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One, confirming reports that Biden, who has suffered a dip in his job approval ratings in recent months, has been telling advisers and staff he plans to run again in 2024.
Biden would be 82 at the start of his second term, if reelected.
Over the weekend, the Washington Post reported that Biden and his closest advisers have been reassuring allies that he plans to seek a second term, despite the fact that Biden said during the 2020 Democratic primary he viewed himself as a transitional figure within the party.
Biden has been under attack for his advanced age from Republicans. Former US Ambassador to the United Nations and Republican Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley has even suggested that aged politicians in the American government should undergo a "cognitive test."
She was asked in an interview about her thoughts on the mental health of the aged US president, who seems to lose touch with reality lately.
"Well what I'll tell you is, rather than making this about a person, we seriously need to have a conversation that if you're gonna have anyone above a certain age in a position of power — whether it's the House, whether it's the Senate, whether it's vice president, whether it's president — you should have some sort of cognitive test," Haley said on November 4.
Earlier this month, Biden was filmed snoozing as delegates spoke at the opening of an international conference in Scotland.
"Sleepy Joe" became a popular social media trend after the US president apparently dozed off at the United Nations COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.

Highlights from the 2018 Warsaw Gallery Weekend - My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !
The eighth annual edition of Poland's premier contemporary art event saw 29 galleries participate in the huge event. Here are some of the exhibition highlights.
Paweł Althamer's dream-inspired white ox is crafted from plaster, metal, and actual animal bones. The sculpture stands out as instead of being accompanied with a threatening "DO NOT TOUCH" sign, it instead invites visitors to mount the ox and become part of the exhibit.
This exhibit is also interactive, allowing audiences to step inside the artwork to become part of the art itself.
Gizela Mickiewicz uses everyday objects to portray internal conflict. She deliberately includes errors and defects in her work and sources materials outside the gallery space, creating unique and spectacular sculptures.
The artist has chosen panda as the core symbol of his exhibition. His message is that the only thing art has left is symbols.

Who Is Scott Adams? Kanye West Tweets Videos of Dilbert Creator
Please, put me back in my mental prison.
OpenMind/YouTube
Kevin Litman-Navarro
In the Twitter universe, few exude cultural gravity like Kanye West. Over the past eight days since he returned to the site, Kanye has pulled attention in his direction like a social media black hole, gobbling up and spaghetifying bloggers unfortunate enough to stray too close to his feed. In the past week alone, Kanye has: posted a litany of zen koan-like tweets that he says are part of his new self-published book; prompted a strong backlash for saying he likes the way anti-Black Lives Matter pundit Candace Owens thinks; and shilled for Elon Musk's Tesla.
On Monday morning, things took a turn for the even stranger, as Kanye shared a series of short videos featuring Dilbert creator turned political pontificator Scott Adams. In the clips, which you can watch as one uninterrupted video on Adams' Twitter feed, the cartoonist praises Kanye for helping to break people out of "mental prisons."
Mental prisons, per Adams, are persistent, incorrect beliefs that blind people to the truth. "One [mental prison] is the false belief that history repeats," Adams said, leaning in close to the camera and shaking his head. "It doesn't, it never does, it just looks like it."
Adams argues that Kanye's affirmation of Owens is a watershed moment signaling that we are approaching the "Golden Age," which Adams loosely defines as the time where important things are going well. Adams says he first saw signs of the impending Golden Age in the political ascension of President Donald Trump.
For people familiar with Adams work and worldview, this isn't particularly surprising. Adams was one of few who predicted Trump's victory long before the 2016 presidential election. Last October, Adams published Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter, a book about President Trump's credentials as a "master persuader."
In his book and various podcast appearances and blog posts, Adams gives a defense of Trump's seeming inability to tell the truth that is essentially, "Who cares?" Adams argues that Trump's various shortcomings and indiscretions are irrelevant to his ability to be a good president. The concepts of truth and lies don't enter into Adam's calculus — you're a master persuader if you're good at persuading, by any means necessary.
Above all, Adams seems to regard anything that shakes up the status quo as a victory. That's why he was so bullish on a Trump presidency, and why he's heaped praise on Kanye for affirming Owens.
"Seven words, and [Kanye] ripped a hole in reality," Adams said. And then Kanye closed the feedback loop.

Guiding Question: As Christians, how should our lives be impacted by forgiveness?
Optional Introductory Activity: Read aloud to the students the children's book Ruby Bridges Goes to School by Ruby Bridges or let them watch a five minutes YouTube video Robert Coles on Ruby Bridges (Note: it includes live news footage using the "n" word). Ask the students how they would feel if they were in a situation like Ruby Bridges. How hard would it be to forgive the mob?
Lesson: (Questions for the students are in bold italics.) Christianity revolves around forgiveness. Our sins separate us form God and only His forgiveness of those sins can restore our relationships to God and give us the hope of eternal life. Yet forgiveness is difficult to understand and even more difficult at times to forgive others. There are a lot of examples of forgiveness in the Bible, but if you want to know how Jesus dealt with someone who always seemed to be messing up, you need to look at His relationship with Peter. Read Matthew 14:22-33, John 21:20-22, Luke 22:31-34, Matthew 26:36-46, Luke 22:54-62. What are some of the mistakes Peter make? Actually, Peter's list was probably much longer as many events weren't recorded in the Bible and Peter was there several times when Jesus corrected all of the apostles. Even if Peter hadn't made any other mistakes, denying that he knew Jesus would have been enough for most people to be reluctant to forgive him. What did Jesus do after His resurrection though? Read John 21:15-17. Jesus, who had just risen from the dead, took the time to fix Peter breakfast, talk to him, let him know he was forgiven and their relationship was restored. If you had been in Peter's shoes how would that interaction with Jesus make you feel? We have a clue from what we learn about the rest of Peter's life in Acts and in I and II Peter. Peter became one of the leading missionaries of the early church. He still made mistakes that needed forgiveness, but Jesus and His forgiveness had changed his life.
So how can forgiveness impact our lives? Forgiveness impacts our lives by how God forgives us and how we forgive others. God connects both of them, but let's look at them separately for a moment. When God created Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden, their relationship with Him was perfect. Then Satan entered the picture. Adam and Eve sinned and that sin separated them from God. Life under the Old Covenant given to Moses provided sacrifices and the Day of Atonement as less than perfect ways for people to have their sins forgiven by God. God showed His love for us by planning from the very beginning for the Messiah to come and restore us. Once Jesus died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice and rose from the dead, sacrifices and the Day of Atonement were replaced with new concepts about God's forgiveness.
That last one is the one that can change everything. In case we try to convince ourselves the way we forgive others doesn't really impact how God forgives us, Jesus told a parable. Read Matthew 18:21-35. What does Jesus want us to understand about forgiveness from this parable? Jesus and the New Testament writers give us even more information about how we are to forgive others. What do the following scriptures teach us about forgiveness?
How can we know if we have really forgiven someone? We will talk about this more later, but the Bible does give us a few hints of how we will act and feel if we are forgiving others.
When thoughts of the person and what they have done to you pop into your head, pray and ask God to help you forgive the person. Then distract yourself with a healthy activity or thoughts.
Remember forgiving someone is not the same saying they were right to have said or done what upset you.
Remember someone doesn't have to ask for your forgiveness in order for you to give it.
Remember forgiveness is a decision. The release of all of the emotion may take some time.
Praying for those whom you are trying to forgive makes it easier. So does doing good things for them.
Remember until you can forgive the person you are looking at the past and dwelling there. It can keep you from moving forward in the like God wants for you.
If your students appear to have one or more wrongs they haven't forgiven have them write them on a piece of paper. Then build a fire or find a paper shredder and destroy their paper. Encourage them that when ever thoughts of the wrong pop into their head, they should remember destroying those wrongs and immediately pray and ask God to help them forgive.
Application Challenge: Read Genesis 37, 39, 40-45. What did Joseph have to forgive? How was he able to forgive these wrongs? What can you learn from him to help you forgive others?

The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital (ROH) is a National Health Service specialist orthopaedic hospital situated in Northfield, Birmingham, England. The ROH specialises in bone and joint problems.

History
The hospital's origins in a new convalescent home established by the Crippled Childrens Union at The Woodlands in Northfield in order to treat children with deformities in 1909. The building, dating from 1840, had been donated to the Crippled Childrens Union by George Cadbury, who then moved into Northfield Manor House later in 1909.

The Crippled Childrens Union merged with the Royal Orthopaedic and Spinal Hospital to form the Royal Cripples' Hospital at The Woodlands in 1925. After the joining the National Health Service in 1948, the Royal Cripples' Hospital became the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital.

A new 8-million-pound out-patient department was opened in May 2011. Its 24 consultation rooms, treatment rooms and other facilities replaced the temporary out-patients buildings that had been used since 1992.

Performance

The hospital was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015.  At that time it had 831 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.56%. 84% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 67% recommended it as a place to work.

It decided to stop providing paediatric surgery after the West Midlands Quality Review Service report concluded, "that paediatric inpatient surgery would be better delivered in a hospital setting with access to extensive centralised care facilities at all times".

Former footballer Bhaichung Bhutia's Hamro Sikkim Party to contest all 32 Assembly and lone Lok Sabha seat in Sikkim
Hitting out at the Pawan Kumar Chamling government for pursuing divisive politics on the basis of caste and religion, Bhaichung Bhutia said that development will be the 'sole agenda' of his party, if the Hamro Sikkim Party comes to power
Press Trust of India March 04, 2019 12:06:06 IST

Gangtok: Bhaichung Bhutia's Hamro Sikkim Party (HSP) will contest all 32 Assembly seats and the lone Lok Sabha seat in Sikkim. The country's iconic former football told a press conference on Sunday that his party has coined the slogan 'Hamro Sikkim, New Sikkim' for its poll campaigns.

On the prospects of the HSP stitching an alliance with other regional parties to take on the ruling Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF), Bhutia said he was hopeful that a partnership with a local party will be forged soon. The HSP working president, however, ruled out a coalition with any national party amid rumour that his party was in dialogue with the BJP leadership to iron out a coalition framework.
Hitting out at the Pawan Kumar Chamling government for pursuing divisive politics on the basis of caste and religion, Bhutia said that development will be the "sole agenda" of his party, if the HSP comes to power.
Bhutia also clarified that his party will not be giving tickets to an individual having criminal antecedents. The former captain had said in January that he planned to contest the Assembly elections, due this year.
"My commitment to stay in state politics is long-term, and I am also going to contest the forthcoming Sikkim Assembly polls and take any responsibility that my party entrusts on me," the 43-year-old former striker had said.
Not new to politics, the former footballer had unsuccessfully contested the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Darjeeling and the 2016 West Bengal Assembly elections from Siliguri as a Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate.
He had resigned from the TMC in February, 2018.

LOS ANGELES — The last time the Dodgers hosted Major League Baseball's All-Star Game they unveiled DiamondVision – a state-of-the-art, first-of-its-kind video screen perched above the left-field pavilion.
The Dodgers will be hard-pressed to match the game-changing nature of that 1980 stadium innovation. But Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said the team is planning its "next set of upgrades, renovations and additions to Dodger Stadium" in advance of the All-Star Game returning to Dodger Stadium 40 years later.
"The next two years will be very active for us," Kasten said Wednesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium where MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred officially announced the awarding of the 2020 All-Star Game to the Dodgers.
That investment was a factor in the Dodgers finally being awarded the All-Star Game, Manfred acknowledged.
"I can only take responsibility for the last three years. Before that was on someone else," Manfred joked when asked about the extended wait between All-Star Games at Dodger Stadium. The game has been played in Southern California four times in the decades since it last came to Los Angeles – twice in Anaheim (1989 and 2010) and twice in San Diego (at Jack Murphy Stadium in 1992 and Petco Park in 2016).
The field of teams hoping to host the game has become "very competitive," Manfred said. Teams that have built new stadiums or invested heavily in renovations have frequently been rewarded with the game. The Chicago Cubs, currently in the third year of an extensive renovation of venerable Wrigley Field, were also interested in hosting the 2020 game and could be named as hosts for an All-Star Game shortly after the Dodgers.
Since 1980, though, the All-Star Game has grown into what Manfred called "a four-day celebration of baseball" including the All-Star Futures Game, a celebrity softball game, the Home Run Derby and numerous satellite events. That will require more than Dodger Stadium to host and Kasten praised the cooperation and support of Los Angeles city officials. The massive FanFest event, for example, will be held at the L.A. Convention Center, a major logistical hurdle that had to be cleared.
Ticket prices and distribution for the All-Star Game are handled by MLB and not the host team. Details will not be available for some time. But the Dodgers will make a priority purchase opportunity available to season-ticket holders.
"We're Los Angeles. We know how to throw a party. We know how to host big events."

This week Dion Weisler stepped down as CEO of HP and placed Enrique Lores into the role. This transition was a showcase of excellent succession planning given Enrique Lores both managed the largest part of HP and is one of their most successful executives. But what I want to focus on is priorities and why what Dion Weisler did should be a best practice that other top executives should take to heart. You see, we all retire at some point and I've known a lot of ex-CEOs most of which were very unhappy after they finally stepped down largely because they never put family first, so their family isn't there when they finally have time.
Let's talk about that this week.
Forgetting What's Important
As I was listening to Dion talk about the reason he was stepping down, I recalled my grandfather, who was wedded to his job and the company he created in the oil business. His focus on work resulted in his kids getting very little of his attention and his son turned out to be a failure and his daughter died because they just weren't high enough priorities in his life.
His daughter's death broke him, he just wasn't the same person after that, and when he did retire, he was left with a marriage where his wife resented the decisions he'd made and a son that blamed him for every mistake the son had made.
He spent much of the time I knew him trying to recapture the feeling he had as CEO and failing, which tended to make him drink too much and become increasingly abusive. I would describe his life as CEO as relatively empty of the things that a family could bring and the time after he finally retired as one of deep regret.
This lack of prioritizing seems to badly impact the lives of otherwise successful people who seem to forget that their reason for striving so hard is to benefit their family and then place the job in front of the people who were supposed to be at the center of their world. This ass-backward approach to work damages their ability to enjoy life and, I think, many would trade the massive wealth they'll never spend for just of a few minutes more time with their young children, back when those kids still looked up to them.
I recall a conversation with one of the richest and most powerful venture capitalists (VCs) in Silicon Valley who lamented, once they retired, that no one seemed to care about their opinions—that the only people that enjoyed their expensive toys were their "friends," and that their string of failed marriages, mostly done for status and appearances, were a waste. He was both one of the richest and one of the most unhappy people I've ever met.
Dion's Better Path
What Dion Weisler showcased is a better path. Wealth and power are a trap, and they can lead to forgetting what is truly important. He doesn't want to end his life, like so many others, regretting he didn't do the right thing for his family, so he got his priorities straight and stepped down.
And the other unusual thing is that he picked the guy that was the best internal candidate and likely far stronger than any external candidate as well. A lot of CEOs seem more concerned that their successor will show them up, and boards often seem to feel they want someone from outside to "shake things up." HP has gone down that path before with Carly Fiorina, and it didn't end well. So Dion stepping down in favor of his family and picking a top replacement are both showcases of his better path.
There is a thing we call work/life balance, and most executives get this wrong. Also, most of the CEO changes I've seen over the years have gone badly because the CEO or the board, for a variety of bad reasons, make these choices badly. In this case, Dion is showcasing he understands the need to favor family over career—particularly later in life—and that picking the best candidate in Enrique Lores is also the best path for both him and HP. It is just nice to see these things go right for once. Congrats to Dion, Enrique, and HP's board for a job very well done!

5 Things I Wish You Knew About Intersex People
In her University Forum lecture, sociology professor Georgiann Davis discusses how intersex people navigate their lives.

Please note that this article is more than three years old and details may have changed since the publish date.

The University Forum Lecture Series presents Contesting Intersex: The Dubious Diagnosis, a talk by sociology professor Georgiann Davis, at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 13, 2015, in the Barrick Museum Auditorium. The event is part of Research Week activities on campus. Here she offers a preview of one topic to be discussed: how to be an ally to intersex people.
If you've never heard of intersex, you aren't alone.
A few weeks ago a colleague and I were at a popular Las Vegas bar attending a drag show fundraiser for a local nonprofit gender and sexual rights organization. In between drag show performances, the host, who introduced herself as a "drag queen," kept encouraging the 35 or so people in attendance to purchase more raffle tickets to raise money for Nevada's gender variant community.
My colleague asked the host, "What about intersex people?" The host quickly responded in the microphone she was holding, "Intersex? What's that? International sex?" The audience erupted in laughter.
The irony was not lost on me. Of all places, you would think there'd be greater awareness about intersex in that particular crowd.
I have complete androgen insensitive syndrome, meaning I was born with an outward female appearance, but I have XY chromosomes. I had internal testes before doctors removed them, without telling me, when I was a teenager. My research is centered on how intersex is experienced in contemporary U.S. society, including when dealing with the medical community.
As I discuss in my new book Contesting Intersex: The Dubious Diagnosis (NYU Press, 2015), doctors routinely subject intersex people to physically and emotionally harmful genital surgeries. These surgeries are almost always cosmetic and rarely medically necessary.
Perhaps even worse, many intersex people aren't told the truth about their diagnosis, or if they are, they are told they are rare and would likely never meet another intersex person.
As both an intersex scholar and person, here are five things I wish everyone knew:
5. We do exist.
Although there are no reliable estimates of the presence of intersex in the population, a widely cited statistic suggests about 1 in 2,000 people are intersex — or about 1,000 people in a city our size. Many doctors use their scalpels to surgically force us into invisibility, often making us feel ashamed about being different. However, when we find out the truth about our bodies and what we endured, we don't hide. We search the internet for information and usually end up connecting with one another through support groups such as the AIS-DSD Support Group (a nonprofit for people with differences of sex development whose mission is to make sure no one is forced to face their diagnosis alone), or any other number of intersex organizations that exist around the world, including Organisation Intersex International.
4. We are normal.
Regardless of intersex status, all male bodies and all female bodies do not look the same. Penises aren't carbon copies of one another, nor are vaginas. It turns out there is a whole lot of variation in what makes up your reproductive system. Instead of shaming bodily differences, whatever those may be, my hope is that we embrace The Interface Project's slogan that "No Body is Shameful."
3. We are fighters.
For over 20 years intersex people from around the world have been organizing to end the medical treatment of intersex. Intersex people speak at medical education events and public protests, regularly appear in the media, address the United Nations, and even work with the World Health Organization. We are also looking to the law to, for once and for all, put an end to the medically unnecessary surgeries intersex babies and children are forced to endure in the United States. You can read more about an ongoing historic lawsuit, filed in 2013 and known on twitter as #Justice4MC, at Advocates for Informed Choice.
2. Our youth inspire.
Intersex people have many accomplishments to be proud of — just look back at how much more connected intersex people are today than we were in the early 1990s, when the intersex rights movement was formed — but our intersex youth and youth leaders are arguably the most inspiring. They speak up in their classrooms, they march in parades, and they even made a BuzzFeed video that was watched more that 1.7 million times. Our youth are honorable and determined activists.
1. These issues affect you.
Doctors continue to perform surgery on intersex bodies to squeeze us into an arbitrary male or female box — one that is narrowly and problematically correlated with gender and sexual stereotypes. These stereotypes force everyone into rigid categories, regardless of the shape or features of their genitalia. If you have a penis, you are expected to use it to penetrate a vagina if you want to be a "real" man. If you have a vagina, you are expected to desire and enjoy vaginal penetration if you want to be a "real" woman. However, it would behoove all of us to escape these constraints of binary thinking that underline sex, gender, and sexuality. Genitalia are naturally variable and are not predictive of our gender or sexual identities, which are complex and fluid parts of who we are. There are many ways to accomplish your gender and sexual identities both with and without your genitals.
Intersex people are here to stay and will always be around fighting for intersex rights. But we could use your help in raising awareness and debunking myths about our lives. My hope is that I can count on you to stand by our sides.

How corporate governance factors can influence financial performance
New research by Calvert establishes that corporate governance factors can be positively linked to financial performance
Facing Hard Truths: How a pandemic brought inequality into the board room
For more than 40 years, economic inequality, the gap in opportunity and outcome between the highest- and lowest-income members of society has grown unabated in the US and other English-speaking developed countries. Inequality presents material risk to both global economies and individual corporations and investors.
The future of governance: The role of the corporate board in addressing environmental and social changes
Business changes are forcing the evolution of the role of the corporation, and boards must be well positioned to address a variety of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.
Evaluating the financial materiality of gender diversity factors
Calvert tested the financial materiality of five gender diversity factors: (1) number of female board members, (2) percentage of female board members, (3) number of women in board leadership roles, (4) number of women named executive officers (NEOs) and (5) TruValue's circumstantial score related to diversity and inclusion news/issues over a three-year period.
Managing human capital for value creation: How purpose-driven employees help power profitable companies
A recent research study finds a link between purpose, corporate profitability and significant positive risk-adjusted stock returns. The study raises the possibility that if purpose could be observed by outside investors, it could be a valuable input to stock valuation.
When sustainable practices yield sustainable profits: The path to a strategic edge
As growing numbers of companies embrace sustainability practices, the question of whether those efforts can provide a competitive edge through strategic differentiation becomes increasingly important.
How Calvert's proprietary research identifies strategic differentiation
Aligning with the findings of the Serafeim study, Calvert believes companies that distinguish themselves through their behavior and operations may outperform over the long term.

27 July 2011 - Salt Lake City
USA-Utah
When the first company of Latter-day Saint pioneers began to journey westward, they did not know their end destination. But on 24 July 1847, when the wagons rolled out of the canyon into the Salt Lake Valley, their destination became apparent. "It is enough," Church President Brigham Young said as he viewed the valley below. "This is the right place. Drive on." Young named the area "Deseret," meaning honeybee, signifying the hive of activity that would soon inhabit the area. The President stayed only 33 days before returning to Winter Quarters in Nebraska to assist other families on their trek. At least 236 pioneer companies of approximately 60,000 pioneers crossed the plains for Utah. With time, they transformed the desert valley into the bustling and prosperous Salt Lake City.
Several historic sites exist in the state today, including Temple Square, visited by nearly 5 million people annually. From the Square, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs a weekly broadcast from one of largest timber-roofed buildings in the world. The broadcast is the longest continuous broadcast program in the United States. In addition to the Salt Lake Temple, which took early members more than 40 years to complete, 12 other temples dot the state. Four more temples are announced, under construction or being remodeled.

When a band or artist covers a song, we're often to keen to point the finger and disregard it. However, in some instances the cover versions of a song have proven to be just as good as, if not better than the original.
We take a walk down memory lane and bring you 'Top 10: Iconic Cover Songs' – ten incredible cover songs that really surprised us….
In 2002, Johnny Cash released 'American IV: The Man Comes Around' his 87th studio album. This would be the final album that Cash would release in his lifetime and would include three covers in total. The single, a cover of Nine Inch Nails 'Hurt' allegedly brought NIN, frontman Trent Reznor, to tears when he first heard it. Film director, Mark Romanek took creative control of the music video for Johnny Cash's cover of 'Hurt' and the music video has since been recognised as one of the best of all time – topping the NME list of 100 most iconic.
In 1991 artists including Eric Clapton, the Beach Boys, Tina Turner, George Michael and Sinead O'Connor contributed to the album 'Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin'. The eclectic compilation saw iconic singers and songwriters re-invent much-loved songs. However, the Kate Bush cover of Elton's 1972 release 'Rocket Man' really stood out, with Kate Bush's idiosyncratic vocal style taking on one of Elton John & Bernie Taupins biggest hits. If you haven't heard it, it's certainly worth a listen!
Alternative/Dance act The Knife released the single 'Heartbeats' in 2002 – packed with synths, electronica and pop beats. However, it would be the humble cover from folk-singer Jose Gonzales which would gain immense popularity. Gonzales took a completely different approach to the song and produced a version which was sincere and emotive. Jose Gonzales cover was awarded a BPI Gold Disk for it's sale of over 100,000 singles in the UK.
When Leonard Cohen released 'Hallelujah' on his 1984 album 'Various Positions' it initially received very little success. However, inspired by an earlier cover of the song by John Cale, Jeff Buckley released his own version on his only complete studio album 'Grace' (1994). The album went Platinum in the USA, UK, Italy and Australia. Buckley's cover of 'Hallelujah' has returned to the US and UK charts, several times since it's release and reached No.1 in the US charts in 2008.
'Whiskey in the Jar' is a traditional Irish song, set against the Southern Mountains of Ireland. With its heritage unknown, the song has been recorded by many artists including The Grateful Dead, The Dubliners and Thin Lizzy (who made it internationally famous). When Metallica released 'Garage Inc.' a compilation album, consisting of cover songs in 1998 – a cover version of 'Whiskey in the Jar' seemed a little gimmicky. However, Metallica surprised everyone when the song came in at No.1 on the US single chart and the album went 5x Platinum. Who knew that James Hetfield's voice could lend itself so well to an Irish Folk song?
In 2015, singer-songwriter Ryan Adams released a song for song cover album of Taylor Swifts multi-platinum album '1989'. Adams took a different approach to Taylor Swifts eighties inspired album and channeled folk and rock influences into the poppy tunes of 'Shake it Off', 'Bad Blood' and 'Welcome to New York'. However, it has to be Ryan Adams take on the chic 'Style' which makes a nostalgic nod to the music of The Smiths and Bruce Springsteen, which was the shiny crown on a fantastic album.
Originally recorded by 1970's folk-rock singer Lori Lieberman and later Roberta Flack, 'Killing Me Softly' was a huge-hit in 1997 for American hip-hop group Fugees. Fugees injected elements of soul and reggae into their cover, as part of their agenda to embrace and promote black empowerement and equality for refugees. 'Killing Me Softly' was the best-selling single of 1996 and sold over 1,360,000 copies worldwide.
When nu-metal band Limp Bizkit covered George Michaels' iconic 'Faith' – it had huge potential to go terribly wrong. Fred Durst approaches the cover with every ounce of metal induced aggression. Heavy riffs, industrial style electronica and screaming vox make it a refreshing take on the 1980's super-hit. Love it or hate it, this is a cover you won't be forgetting anytime soon.
Kate Bush may have already featured in our list of Top Ten Covers but this time, the shoe is on the other foot. Kate Bush has a way of making every song, completely unique to her – which makes it an incredibly mean feat to conquer a cover of a Kate Bush song. When English post-punk band The Futureheads released a cover of 'Hounds of Love' in 2005 – you had to think twice before comparing it to the song of the same title by Kate Bush. This cover version took on a completely different life with an indie beat, which made the dark & brooding song an upbeat hit. The Futureheads claimed that they were initially reluctant to introduce the song as a single, but after a recording session, they released it and 'Hounds of Love' returned to the charts once more, becoming a top 10 hit for the band.

Producing a concert takes a ton of effort. We can all do it if we set our minds to it, but the more we wear the manager hat, the more difficult it becomes to perform our best come concert time. I've produced six concerts in which I've performed in over the past two years, each demanding a different workload. Unsurprisingly, the more I have been involved behind the scenes, the less impressed I was with my own musical performance.
So, in preparation for the OVO's concert on the 1st of June, I made sure that I could hand off as much work as possible to others. Firstly, I sought out a sponsorship with the Austrian Embassy in Ottawa. Their work towards the event was excellent as they promoted the event on their mailing list and website, as well as provide a wine & cheese reception following the show. Secondly, I managed to get us back on a local concert series called Ars Nova. Ars Nova handled all ticket purchases, stage set-up and take-down, program printing, as well as promotion on their website and mailing list. Without Ars Nova's help, the concert wouldn't have been possible.
Sometimes we want our concerts to go exactly the way we see it in our mind's eye, but if we were to control every part of the production, we would most likely end up like Colin in the High School drama below (skip to 2:00 if it doesn't already do so). The more work you hand off to another, the better your chances for a good performance.
