Search specialist SLI Systems posts maiden profit upon shift to "self service SaaS"
Cloud-based search systems developer SLI Systems reported its first full year profit today, $4.1 million before tax.
The $5.7 million turnaround from 2017 was driven by a seven per cent increase in annual operating revenue to $33.8 million from $31.5 million, benefiting from exchange rate gains and some non-recurring revenues.
Constant currency annualised recurring revenue, at $33.6 million, was flat but up eight per cent in NZ dollar terms.
Cash inflow was $3.5 million compared to an outflow of $1.1 million in the same period last financial year, resulting in a cash balance of $9.1 million, up from $5.6 million at the same time last year.
"SLI has delivered its first full year profit as a listed company and strong positive cash flows, while continuing to position itself for the future with the development of new self-service software-as-a-service (SaaS) search solutions," said Greg Cross, chairman of SLI.
"It is of great comfort to the board to see SLI building up cash reserves. They will give the company the resources to implement a longer-term strategy once the initial product development programme is complete."
SLI CEO Chris Brennan said SLI is making good progress unbundling its cloud-based SaaS solutions from the professional services the company provides to customers.
"We are on track to release the new product in the current financial year," he said.
The release date is slightly later than originally expected, he said, reflecting conflicting priorities, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation requirements and the complexity of the shift.
"We are pleased with the progress we have made building the financial strength of the company and making good our commitment not to seek new equity from investors," Brennan said.
Spending on sales and marketing has been scaled back and any expenditure not linked with new product development is being aligned to immediate growth expectations and customer retention, he said.
Brennan reiterated that the company was in transition and referred to the uncertainty of short term future profit levels.
"The company is focused on delivering its new product range and our goals are long term growth in high margin recurring revenue rather than short to medium term profit," he added.

Sep 22, 2015 - Jack Martone, The American Equity Underwriters, Inc.
The U.S. Department of Labor has released Industry Notice No. 154, dated September 8, 2015. The Subject is: Maximum and Minimum Compensation Rates Under the Longshore Act, Effective October 1, 2015; Adjustments of Permanent Total Disability and Death Cases.
As stated in the Notice, the National Average Weekly Wage is increased by 2.10 percent effective October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. The new NAWW is $703.00. Consequently, effective October 1, 2015, the new maximum weekly rate under the Longshore Act for permanent total disability and death cases is twice the NAWW, or $1,406.00. The minimum weekly compensation rate is one-half the NAWW, or $351.50.
Recently I offered District Directors, Parts One and Two, discussing the administrative and adjudicative authority of the U.S. Department of Labor's District Directors.
This discussion included a reference to Section 7(e) (33 U.S.C. 907(e)) of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. This section contains one of the most direct, immediate, and mutually beneficial provisions of the Act.
Whether or not to arrange for an IME is within the discretion of the District Director. The statute reads that the Secretary (District Director) "shall" have the power to request an impartial medical examination, but while the authority is there in every case, it is not obligatory under any circumstances. District Directors have broad discretion in this area.
It is important to note that although in instances such as disputed scheduled award cases and questions with regard to the need for surgery, the parties usually abide by the IME opinion and thus quickly and efficiently resolve medical issues, the opinion of the IME examiner is not entitled dispositive weight, i.e., the IME opinion is not necessarily the conclusive, final word on an issue. The IME opinions are not binding, but rather are weighed along with the other medical evidence in the record.
The statute and implementing regulations do provide some rules for administering the IME process.
Neither the employer/carrier's nor the claimant's doctor can attend the IME.
The IME examiner is not provided with the prior conclusions of these doctors (he may be provided with the results of diagnostic tests).
The District Director (or Claims Examiner) typically will provide the parties with a list of three proposed impartial examiners and request that the parties agree on one of them (see below).
If the claimant does not want to attend the IME he can appeal the District Director's order directly to the Benefits Review Board, bypassing the Office of Administrative Law Judges.
If the claimant does not appeal to the Board, and fails to appear for the IME, it is within the discretion of the District Director to suspend the payment of compensation during the period of refusal. If the District Director takes no action then the employer/carrier can appeal directly to the Board.
This is another example of the broad authority and discretion and authority granted to the District Director in medical management of cases.

Studio Terms and Policies
Modern Ballroom Competitive Dance
Top Rated Local® Dance Studio
Inquire about our New Student Special!
Landra Vallejos – Owner
Landra has been in the ballroom dancing industry since 1999. Having worked professionally for Arthur Murray Franchised schools as well as in her own dance studio, she brings 16 years of experience as a dance instructor, dance competitor, dance trainer, studio manager, and studio owner. In her experience with the Arthur Murray organization, she won several awards which acknowledged her excellence in all these roles. These included the "Top New Student Director" Award and the "Top Manager" Award. In 2004, she achieved highly-coveted international recognition within the organization by receiving the "Top Overall Instructor Award World-Wide" for the year.
Although Landra is well-recognized for the high quality of her teaching at all levels of dancing—from beginner to advanced—in her career as dance instructor, she quickly developed a reputation for having the gift of teaching new students during ballroom dance classes. She makes learning how to dance easy and fun and keeps her students motivated and coming back for more.
On a competitive level, Landra is known as "Fearless" by the people who know her best. Her dedication to the sport of competitive dancing has caught the attention of students, judges, and fellow staff members. The mindset which drives her competitive spirit is a determination to always be the best, not solely on the basis of talent, but more importantly, on the willingness to put in the hard work, day in and day out, which is needed to stand out amongst fellow competitors.
The creativity demanded of choreography makes it an area of special interest to Landra. She is inspired by the need to tell the story that unfolds when a musical piece serves as backdrop to a dance. She trains her students (and staff) on exactly how to portray emotions through not just dancing but also through body language and focal points. Because a routine with no story is like watching a movie with no plot, Landra spends hours making sure her innovative choreography matches a student's personality. The excellence of her students' performance of show routines has been recognized through attainment of the "Top Overall Showcase Routine Award" at national competitions.
For wedding couples, Landra understands that what makes the first dance so special is the celebration of the bride and groom. Whether a bridal couple is looking for something simple or more in-depth, her goal is to personalize the first dance to the song chosen by the couple and develop a choreography suited to their personality. To accomplish this, she considers how a couple's learning ability and vision can be coaxed into the development of something better than expected.
To sum up, Landra has a passion for dancing and a love for people. She has set out on a mission to change the dance industry one step at a time by providing excellent instruction in her ballroom dance studio, and the interpersonal supports which will improve the overall learning experience for every person that walks through her doors. In her own words, "I want everyone walking into my studio to feel as comfortable as walking into their own home. We are family, a dancing family that will continue to grow year after year!"
Jason Potell
Jason began his life as a dancer in 2000 at a swing dance class in Williamstown, MA – a small town in the Berkshire Mountains. He fell in love with social dance, and helped to found a local dance club that brought in instructors from a variety of dance styles (including ballroom, contra, swing, and Argentine tango). He later moved to New York City, where he joined Stepping Out Studios' salsa team, which enabled him to do his first trip abroad for dance – studying and competing in salsa in Puerto Rico. Since then he has traveled the world studying dance and language- from salsa in Cuba, waltz in Vienna, Argentine tango & Spanish in Argentina, and Brazilian zouk & Portuguese in Brazil. He has competed and performed his own original choreography in multiple dance styles, and truly feels that dance has the power to express the human condition. He began teaching part-time in 2009, and over the years began to think more and more about pursuing dance full-time. He finally made the leap in 2016, quitting his day job as a K Street business consultant, and beginning a year as a freelance dance instructor. In 2017 he met Landra, and soon became a full-time instructor with Modern Ballroom Dance Studio – where he is excited to share his belief that there is no feeling in the world
Aldo Ortega
Aldo began his dance career in 2014, training to become a Salsa and Bachata instructor. Shortly thereafter he began teaching at festivals and clubs all over the DMV area, and has become one of the main instructors at The Salsa Room and Mr. Mambos events. Aldos' main joy in dance comes from body isolations, which is one of the reasons why he loves Sensual/Modern Bachata. Though you can find him dancing on social floors throughout the week, his true love is for teaching. His workshops and lessons have a strong focus on making legible leads and attentive follows, with an overall focus on body control. In 2018, Aldo had the idea to bring his favorite dance to groups that would never otherwise be exposed to lessons, by creating workshops suchs as Latin Dancing for Nerds and Leading Ladies. The goal is to bring new people to the scene, help them overcome social anxieties, help them find what they think is lost, open up avenues for new experiences and to be excellent to each other.
Hannah Swim
Hannah Swim Trained in ballet and jazz at Barlow Arts Conservatory. She has performed with Barlow Arts Convervatory, American Heritage School, and South Country High School. She has guest choreographed various numbers for community events, South County High School, and American Heritgage School. She has taught music to children for the past several years and is looking forward to sharing her love of dance with the children at Modern Ballroom Dance Studio.

A couple of months ago I went to China for the first time, I explored Beijing for a few days immersing in its culture and iconic places. Throughout the days of sightseeing and craziness of this busy city you just want to stay in the perfect place to rest and relax… I luckily found it on Rosewood Beijing Hotel.
Rosewood Beijing is a luxury hotel centrally located in Chaoyang District. Surrounded by Beijing's most impressive skyscrapers this hotel is right for those who enjoy city views and a modern-chic accommodation.
Rosewood Beijing features six restaurants and lounges open daily with different types of cuisine. I had an amazing lunch at one of the restaurants, Country Kitchen and I can't recommend it enough. It's Northern Chinese and Beijing cuisine that will make you drool and eat more than you should (as I did) it is so good that it's impossible to stop. Reservations can be made even if you are not a guest of the hotel.
The buffet breakfast included is another thing I have to highlight, they have everything you want from Western to Asian options, everything was really tasty. I loveee Asian food so you can imagine how happy I was having fried rice and dumplings for breakfast!
Staying at Rosewood Beijing was a wonderful experience, not only your room but all the amenities and services the hotel has to offer will make you fall in love with this place. The indoor swimming pool and the spa were some of my favorites but the hotel has so much to offer for every taste.
Thank you to the lovely Mandy and all the staff for making my stay so pleasant. As you might know and I have told you before I never recommend anything I don't like or enjoy and Rosewood Beijing is definitely one of my favorite hotels I've stayed in Asia.
Location: China, Beijing, Fengtai, Chaoyangmen Outer St, 1号京广中心 邮政编码: 100020.

Israel arrests right-wing soccer fans for the revenge murder of a Palestinian boy

Israel's investigation into the murder of a 16-year-old Palestinian boy yielded six arrests on Monday. Israeli police say all of the suspects have one thing in common: they're members of La Familia, a right-wing group of soccer fanatics who support the popular Israeli team, Beitar Jerusalem.
The abduction and killing of Mohammed Abu Khdair last Wednesday sparked several days of rioting in East Jerusalem, the predominantly Arab area of the city. Abu Khdair had been forced into a car in the Jerusalem neighborhood where he lived with his family. Less than an hour later, the teen was reportedly beaten and burned to death. His body was then dumped in the Jerusalem forest.
Israeli police suspect that Abu Khdair's killing was carried out as an act of revenge for the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers last month. The kidnapping case had Israelis riveted for two-and-a-half weeks. Then, the bodies of the teens were discovered in a shallow grave outside the city of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
In the wake of that grim discovery, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israelis not to take the law into their own hands. But that appears to be exactly what happened.
La Familia is notorious for chanting racist slogans during soccer matches. Beitar Jerusalem, the most popular soccer club in Israel, was founded in the 1930s as an adjunct to a hardline Zionist movement. It has long been associated with the Israeli right wing and anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment.
Until last season, Beitar remained the only all-Jewish team in the Israeli league. But when the club signed two Muslim players, fans expressed their disapproval by unfurling a banner that read, "Beitar will be pure forever." A few days later, suspected members of La Familia trashed and burned their team's corporate headquarters.
"The core group of fans are well-known to the police," said Sheera Frenkel, a Middle East correspondent for BuzzFeed, in an interview with PRI's The World. "They've acted out in the past.
"One of the police officers that I spoke to yesterday in an off-record briefing said, 'I'm surprised they didn't do this sort of thing before,'" Frenkel said.
Frenkel recently met with members of La Familia and asked them if the tit-for-tat cycle of deadly violence, culminating in the death of Abu Khdair and the arrest of six Jewish Israeli suspects, was pushing them toward a change of heart. "Absolutely not," was how Frenkel paraphrased their response.
She said they told her, "We hope this is the first of many. These [suspects] represent us and what we think. We're quite proud of their actions. Arabs have killed us for long enough."
For other Israelis, however, the killing of Mohammed Abu Khdair has sparked a round of soul searching.
On Monday, Abu Khdair's father, Hussein, got a call from Prime Minister Netanyahu. "I would like to express my outrage and that of the citizens of Israel over the reprehensible murder of your son," Netanyahu reportedly said during the call, promising to prosecute the killers to the fullest extent of the law.
"The murder of your son is abhorrent and cannot be countenanced by any human being," the prime minister was quoted as saying.
In the meantime, militants based in the Gaza Strip continued to launch volleys of rockets and mortars toward Israeli towns and cities. The Israeli military has carried out a series of retaliatory air strikes in recent days. The Palestinian militant group Hamas, which controls Gaza, has vowed to take revenge for the deaths of several of its fighters, which the group says were killed by "Zionist aggression."

'An easy decision' West Brom fans will love Slaven Bilic's Albion tribute
The new man has spoken about taking over at WBA
Brian Dick
West Bromwich Albion's appointment of former Croatia manager Slaven Bilic is eye-catching.
The club confirmed on Thursday they had tempted a coach who has guided his country to the quarter-finals of the European Championship to the English second tier.
'I love him' This man is certainly very happy to see Slaven Bilic at West Brom!
He has also managed West Ham in the Premier League and arrives with an outstanding reputation.
Yet the 50-year-old insists he had no doubts about coming to The Hawthorns nor dropping down into the Championship.
"First of all, my friends know, and my fellow coaches know, not just here in Croatia but throughout Europe, that the Championship was always a competition that was on my bucket list," he told the club website.

"This is a common view and not just with me, I assure you. This is a view held by many coaches all over Europe.
"It is like the real essence of football; it is a proper league and when I get the chance to manage one of the strongest clubs in this division, it was an easy decision to make.
Celtic near transfer as wait for Rekeem Harper decision continues
"I've played in England, I've managed in England. I know the club, I know West Bromwich Albion and its history, its traditions. I know their story."
Bilic will have a huge in tray as he sets about steering the Baggies back to the top flight.
In the very short term his players are due back at training on Monday week, June 24.
There is huge uncertainty surrounding the future of key players like Salomon Rondon and Jay Rodriguez and a midfield to overhaul before the campaign kicks off in under two months.

I am fond of the manhattan. I am also fond of tequila. So I often make my manhattans with tequila in place of the whiskey and I often order them that way, too.
I am not arguing that the manhattan made with tequila is superior to (or even as good as) a traditional manhattan. It's a refreshing change, but it's not as big a drink. It does, though, have an advantage for certain drinking occasions, such as lunch or a long night, during the course of which you will consume multiple drinks: In the same way that it's a lighter-tasting drink, it also gives a different, gentler buzz. Most añejo tequilas (and you need the flavor of the barrel for a manhattan) have less alcohol than bourbons, especially the bourbons our friend Mr. Wondrich recommends for use in manhattans. So you get drunk less quickly. I would estimate that the effect of three tequila manhattans is the equivalent of two actual manhattans.
One last thing not strictly related: While I am adamantly opposed to the "measured pour" as it relates to a simple drink of any liquor and ice or any liquor neat (bartenders need to be generous souls), I highly recommend measurement in the creation of either the manhattan or the tequila manhattan.
The bartender at Boulud Sud in New York made me a tequila manhattan not long ago. It was delicious. As I headed to my table, I asked him for his recipe. He had used the same exact ingredients I had been using at home (Don Julio añejo, Carpano sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters). I asked him why his drink was better than mine. He answered with a question: Do you measure? I was not measuring. I do now. I know Mr. Wondrich is proud.


My beloved, all time favorite piece of clothing – an oversized white button-down shirt, now in the spotlight. What I love about crisp white shirts it is the fact that they are incredibly wearable for both casual and dressy, more elegant occasions. Not only that – the fact that you can wear it differently – tie it in the back, wear it backwards, off the shoulder and tie it in front makes it such a versatile and timeless fashion staple. In this video you will see chic and creative ways how to wear a simplest shirt every single person probably has in the closet.

INNOVATIVENESS OF BELARUSIAN ECONOMY THROUGH THE PRISM OF ITS COMPETITIVE POSITION IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Krzysztof Falkowski Warsaw School of Economics, Poland
Keywords: innovativeness, competitiveness, comparative advantages, international trade, Belarus
The main purpose of this study is to answer the question of how innovative Belarusian economy is. Its innovativeness has been assessed through an in-depth analysis of Belarus' position in international trade, especially in high- and medium-high-technology goods, on the back of the assumption that any competitive advantages possessed in them testify to the economy's high innovativeness. The analysis of the dynamics of long-term revealed comparative advantages in Belarusian foreign trade by using Balassa's RCA methodology and covering the years 2000-2014, has shown that the country was generally characterized by low innovativeness, as evidenced by the possession of such advantages only in trade in goods of relatively low technological intensity (medium-low technology). Meanwhile, in hi-tech goods (high and medium-high technology), Belarus did not have any (or only had relatively small) long-term revealed comparative advantages. Moreover, Belarus' competitiveness in international trade deteriorated over that period, not only regarding high and medium-high technology goods but also in foreign trade overall. This seems to be, amongst others, the consequence of low efficiency of the country's current innovation policy.

Q: Menu distorts page on mobile devices and creates white space on the right I am not a web designer per se. I am a copy writer and animator studying at college at the moment. However I am teaming up with a friend of mine who is a graphic designer and website designer. Our problem is that if you look at the image below. the menu on our website is so long it distorts the rest of our website on mobile devices.
Our menu is has its place near the top of the website however using Javascript, when you scroll down the page the menu fixes to the top of the page. When it is fixed to the top while scrolling the page looks normal, however when the menu is in its original place it creates a white area on the page that should not be there. I am assuming its because its too long but if somebody could take a look and help me I would really appreciate it.
This page can be found HERE I will delete the livelink after the question is answered for future posterity.

This is my CSS for the menu when in its original position as well as when fixed to the top of the browser when user scrolls.
#menu, #menu ul {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#menu {
display: table;
width: 100%;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
top: -30px;
text-align: center;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
box-shadow: 0px 3px 5px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
font-size: 18px;
height: 20px;
z-index: -101;
}
#menu.fixed {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#menu li {
display: table-cell;
list-style: none;
padding-right: 50px;
left: 50px;
vertical-align:middle;
}
#menu > li:hover > ul {
background:#FFF;
display: block;

width: 100%;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 2px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);

box-shadow:         0px 3px 2px 0px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75);
border-top:thin dotted #999;
top: 32px;
}
#menu > li > ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
 text-align: center;

}
#menu li a {
display: block;
padding: 2px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: lighter;
white-space: nowrap;
color: #333;

}
#menu li a:hover {
color: #CCCCCC;
font-size: 18px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#menu li ul li {display: inline-block;
float:none; }

A: The problem isn't the menu, per-se, but the fact that it isn't responsive (the entire site isn't responsive). Even the content below is all squished in mobile.
I would highly suggest you rebuild the site on a responsive platform like Bootstrap or Zurb Foundation and take a look at their grid system for your content blocks and carousel, and the mobile menu for mobile fall-backs.
A pitfall you have is also all of your CSS is embedded on each page, rather than calling a unified CSS file. This makes maintenance a nightmare as when you update CSS, you have to update every page.
Another thing you should do is make shared assets be includes. This would require changing your HTML to PHP (PHP includes are what I would suggest anyway). You can do that for the menu and footer.
There is, unfortunately, no quick fix for the menu because it's not really the root of the problem right now.
To make your site responsive, you need to add this in your header: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">.
Then you need to set media queries (see http://cssmediaqueries.com/what-are-css-media-queries.html) to hide the current menu and show a mobile fallback.
I would also set the mobile breakpoint to have #cell1, #cell2, and #cell3 be 100% width in mobile so those grids can be easily viewed.
There is an easy tutorial here on how to make a simple dropdown menu for mobile. That would probably be the best method for you right now.

Fogo De Chão is an authentic gaucho style Brazilian Steakhouse with roughly about 35+ locations open throughout the United States. The Brazilian chain is great for both private and group dinning. Fogo De Chão offers both lunch and dinner menus, so you are able to have the same menu during lunch time for a cheaper price. The menus also come in various packages, for example, you might decide to have only the market table and not the full churrasco experience. The full churrasco experience however includes the market table and feijoada bar.
The market table consists of a variety of fruits, vegetables, cheeses and a number of other sides. Below is what the market table at the Piedmont location in Atlanta looks like. Different locations have different set ups, so it might vary depending on what location you visit.
Each table gets served some fried bananas, mash and yam, as well as some cheese bread. The cheese bread is one of my favourite sides, especially when served hot. I literally overdose on it every time I visit Fogo.
However, it is best to go easy on the sides because the meat experience feels you up super quick. Brazilians eat a lot of meat, and this is literally what the Churrasco experience is. You keep getting fed meat until you're ready to stop.
Upon arrival, you are presented with a double sided card. You face the red side up when you want your waiters to stop serving you meat and the green side up when you're ready for more meat. It's a never ending journey of how much meat could I possibly eat. The meats range from ribs, to lamb chops, to pork chops and just about any other thing you can think of. You can also decide on how well done you want your pieces.
Tip: Always visit a Brazilian Steak House on an empty stomach if you want to make the most of your money and meal.
Below are some of the meats I had on my last visit to Fogo.
The chicken and beef wrapped in bacon is one of my favourites.
Side Note: Fogo members get a free birthday dessert on their birthday and the celebrant gets to choose what dessert they want from the dessert menu. I got one of my favourites, the creme brulee. In addition to a free birthday dessert, you also get $$$ off your birthday meal during your birthday month. Now, it doesn't get better than that.
Final Thoughts: The meats can get overwhelming, particularly if you've had something to eat before visiting. However, if you love your proteins, and a never ending buffet, Fogo De Chao is the place for you. It's a great place to visit for lunch on the weekends or brunch right after Church.

I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called At the Center of My Life: Talking with James Ward on Multicultural Worship Past, Present and Future and is located at https://thewitnessbcc.com/at-the-center-of-my-life-talking-with-james-ward-on-multicultural-worship-past-present-and-future/.
Since 2002, Jim Ward has been the Director of Music at New City Fellowship, a Reformed, multicultural congregation in Chattanooga Tennessee. Ward is a highly skilled musician with a love for God, a passion for sound theology, and a great respect for the musical expressions of other cultures. Add to that mix the chops to pull off a wide diversity of musical styles with integrity, and Jim's musical leadership treats us to a purity of both sound and culture. When it comes to worship, Ward obliterates all the man-centered boxes of expectation and focuses us squarely on Christ as the Creator and Head of the nations.
Before this month's New City Music Conference on July 25-28, Ward sat down with Karen Ellis and RAANetwork to share his thoughts on where multicultural worship has come from over the last forty years, where it may be headed in the future, and his view of possible role of movements like spoken word and Reformed hip hop in liturgy.
KE: Many acknowledge that you were on the ground floor of the multicultural worship music movement; some even say that you were the catalyst for it. How did you personally develop musically, and how did that run parallel to the infancy of the new movement in church music?
JW: I was a student at Covenant College in the 70's when Frances Schaeffer first came back to the US to speak and spread his worldview of 'all of life redeemed.' As a music major, I was inspired to go out and do music to the glory of God wherever that might be. I had grown up in the Reformed Presbyterian church, and so it wasn't new for me to involve church in that spectrum. For a lot of musicians who are educated in contemporary and pop music, the church is kind of a strange land, but for me, it was one I could already freely operate in. In contemporary Christian music, which was the field I started in, there were very few of us in the eastern United States at the time. I played a lot of public concerts sponsored by Intervarsity after their philosophy of "pre-evangelistic music." That was kind of where I got started.
Later when I signed with the Benson company in 1979, I had an album called Mourning into Dancing. The record had three songs on it that didn't specifically refer to Christ or to God; they were simply songs about life. Charisma magazine completely rejected the idea that an album by a Christian could have various kinds of experiences on it without necessarily alluding to a Scripture passage.
This was kind of a collision of cultures for me as a Reformed Christian coming out of this Schaefferian worldview, going to Nashville and trying to interact with the Gospel music industry. Whether we were Pentecostals, or Southern Baptists, or Reformed Christians, we were all coming into the music business with this mission we wanted to accomplish, and colliding with the business. It was hard – I didn't succeed at the Benson company; their view of what they were doing was geared toward mainstream acts. That was the parallel to my work in the church.
KE: How did that cultural conflict inform what you're doing now?
I enjoyed what I did… and any craftsman who likes popular music as I did would go into a song tank like Nashville where songs were being sold and recorded. I mean, Al Jarreau and many others found songs in Nashville, all kinds of people came there for songs. Many of my friends were – and still – are songwriters in Nashville. I learned a tremendous amount about how to craft music.
Like any artist, there were hard things and disappointments. If I were still on the road today, there's so much involved in being an entertainer, scrapping for what you want and savagely trying to win; that part didn't agree with me. I wanted to succeed, and though I had all the chops to be successful as a songwriter and an entertainer there was this other room in my house that said to me I can go so far, and no farther.
My identity included this aspect of working in the world to bring about good, and working for the marginalized and the mission that my wife and I had – even as I began to enjoy the benefits of playing contemporary Christian music. The Lord ordered my steps and He brought me to a place where I can be creative, and no one flinches because I played diminished jazz chords. Sure I have regrets, but there's a richness to all these experiences in a tapestry that's being woven together that's our life; I find that identity to be unique, and something to be treasured.
Listen to Jim Ward with New City Fellowship Choir, singing Death Is Ended.
KE: Talk a bit about how identity comes into play when we think about multicultural worship.
JW: Being a White Christian … you can't just look at a White person and say, "that person is going to behave in a certain way." Of course, Whites have done that with African Americans, and with Latinos and different ethnic groups, but we too are a diverse people group. My identity blends with my childhood – in a large family where music was important, and music was folksy, and something we laughed with and enjoyed – up through college where I began to be more formally educated. During my pop music phase, I began to enjoy jazz more, and God helped me to use my musical interests alongside the [multicultural] mission of our church.
Many musicians have the opportunity to interact with other ethnic groups, and their music becomes intertwined with that. I was a folkie – I played guitar (Simon and Garfunkel)… so for me to interact with African Americans in college and play a bit of blues on the piano and see the electricity of the response – moments like these changed not just my music, but my identity.
After getting off the road, I learned many of my worship leading skills after transitioning from a recording artist to a working musician and getting my graduate degree – someone who could so a variety of things with skill. I had some heroes… I learned band-leading by watching people like Duke Ellington. I saw him on videos watching his band from the piano, indicating who would take the next solo, admiring his soloists, honoring his band members, calling out their names, clapping for them… I saw Ellington as one of the great composers of American history, behaving in a very supportive role toward his band, and nurturing them.
KE: From your perspective, why is our identity so wrapped up in our worship experience, and what are the possibilities and limitations of the connection?
JW: People experience a cultural connection to their worship environment. If they're in an environment that's never been threatened, that's a comfortable place for them. When they come into a space and they hear an organ playing, maybe a pipe organ, or an electronic organ, they begin to center on the experiences they've had in that setting.
The emotion of that environment, the psychological repose, if you will – if someone comes into a church and they expect candles to be lit, or distant voices singing in Latin – those things are all reinforcements for someone's faith life in a corporate sense, and as they come into that environment there is that expectation.
Creating a welcome musical environment isn't merely about accommodating language, though that's an important part. It's also about the instrumentation; it's about the unique vocal timbre associated with singing music from different cultures. There are worship experiences that appeal primarily to the rational experience of God. But as you move away from highly educated areas of the world and you move into areas where Christianity is something that people are fighting and dying for, there is more physicality; there's a more basic expression of faith, sorrow and praise that's highly repetitious. Personally, when I think of a multicultural worship experience, I'm thinking more physical – even if we're singing music from the Western songbook, if we have a steady beat and a rhythmic pulse and people want to move, they can move. That, to me, is a welcoming environment.
Listen to Jim Ward's Low in the Grave.
KE: What are some of the pitfalls of addressing multiple cultural identities in a worship setting?
JW: Say there's a church that wants to have diversity, and there is resistance to that. It may produce a leader who wants to have more than one service so that, for example, "we can have one thing over here, and y'all can continue to do what you do over there" – this doesn't address the problem, it simply says "we're going to agree to be different." That's one thing if you're going to have a bilingual church if you're going to take people out and have a worship experience in their own native tongue. It's another thing altogether if you're going to have a church divided by cultures so that people can be happy. It doesn't really look at the fact that you're looking at the people around you, and a particular song may not be necessarily blessing you, but it's blessing others and you release this because you love them … that's the more positive response.
KE: How do we move a congregation of people to understand that they need to make room for others in their own worship experience?
JW: I try to make the music I choose welcoming to everyone, but I think that if there's an explanation of the vision as people join a church – that the vision is to unite, and new members should submit to the leadership plan for unity, then I think that worship happens, and friendship and fellowship can follow.
KE: How are you preparing to pass this ethos on to the people coming behind you, and how do you see it changing?
JW: Our Black young adults don't necessarily want to sing what Grandma sang. We're having to look for new expressions in the field of Gospel music. It's tricky; we're not going to sing the same songs forever, and we're developing new material.
Ironically, multiculturalism in society in general is becoming something that everyone is used to. In everything from commercials to how housing is treated, to how we travel together, people are not as compartmentalized as they used to be. For example, I can have an African American woman in my congregation bring me a CD for communion meditation that's blessed her, and the music is folk Irish Celtic worship; she's having a visceral response to a worship experience outside of her own culture, and I want to honor that.
Listen to Jim Ward's At the Center of My Life.
KE: Speaking of young adults, what place do you see for the Hip Hop movement in Reformed theology in your own church's Sunday morning liturgy?
JW: I'm seeing it already. I can hear it in my head, and I'm developing a pool of people with unique gifts to pull from. There's also something to the craft of Spoken Word where the approach is not so assertive but more contemplative, and it reminds me of some of the music from when I was younger, like Gil Scott Heron and some of the poets who spoke over their music. I've been listening to this record from The Robert Glasper Experiment of rappers interacting with a Rhodes (piano) sound and a slow back beat, and I can hear doing a Call to Worship this way. I'd love to hear someone get up and rap the Call to Worship; I would enjoy that myself, and I wouldn't see any contradiction in the priorities we have in worship – I don't think it needs to be overly dramatic, but I think in our congregation it would be well received.
To raise up musicians that speak to congregations in multicultural settings, we have to recognize that the church is an educational institution – not a performance venue. We need to raise up our kids with sound theology. If we raise them up properly, and if they're musically gifted, they'll take on themselves the mission with the skills they've been given. I want to capture these young people in the church now and see their art assimilated into our body; I want to see this in the same way I want to see a gifted young man with a violin raised up – with sound teaching, and affirmed in his gifts.
We need to continue to teach our musicians from the Word. It concerns me when the musicians don't stay for the preaching; they're not getting the whole picture. The preaching Is where they'll hear the call of the gospel on their life, and be convicted about their own sins. So in our church, we rely heavily on the preaching and discipleship for education. Growing up in the church gave me a strong sense of what's appropriate in worship; I'm constantly trying to pass that around with a high level of musicianship.
The question is often asked, do you want the guy who's the great musician but shallow spiritually, or the spiritual giant who can't play? Neither of those is the best option.
The skill – the art and the spirituality – they have to come together.
This month, Jim Ward will be conducting the New City Music Conference in Chattanooga, bringing together worship leaders and planners, musicians and pastors and like minded congregations who want to engage in cross-cultural worship, fellowship, learning. The conference will show appreciation of Northern European, African, African-American, and Hispanic traditions, as well as the contemporary expressions in these cultures. Learn more about the conference here.
Gabriel, I have found John Frame's position on the regulative principle to be liberating rather than stifling. Check out his book on Contemporary Worship Music. He's an apologist so he leaves no stone unturned! One should take each diverse cultural circumstance in worship for its own merits according to the Scriptures, whether it is a gospel choir with a vamp at the end, or prayers for healing, when the sick come to the front of the church for prayer and anointing with oil.
Thank you for the response. I will definitely check out the book. Again, the reason that I asked is because I play the saxophone. Over the past couple of years, I've heard multiple reformed people say that I'm rejecting the Regulative principle when I introduce musical instruments into worship. Since I didn't have any frame of reference in addressing their points, I simply took their advice and stopped playing my saxophone altogether. The interview posted here definitely has me re-thinking the issue.
recently because of my own musical interests. I have a question though. How would this discussion on multicultural worship fit into the Reformed view of the regulative principle of worship?

Relaxation Effects in Small Critical Nozzles

We computed the flow of four gases (He, N2, CO2, and SF6) through a critical nozzle by augmenting traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a rate nist-equation that accounts for τrelax, a species-dependent relaxation time that characterizes the equilibration of the vibrational degrees of freedom with the translational and rotational degrees of freedom. Conventional CFD (τrelax = 0) under-predicts the flow through a small nozzle (throat diameter d = 0.593 mm) by up to 2.3 % for CO2 and by up to 1.2 % for SF6. When we used values of τrelax from the acoustics literature, the augmented CFD under-predicted the flow for SF6 by only 0.3 %, in the worst case. The augmented predictions for CO2 were within the scatter of previously published experimental data ({plus or minus}0.1 %). As expected, both conventional and augmented CFD agree with experiments for He and N2. Thus, augmented CFD enables one to calibrate a small nozzle with one gas (e.g., N2) and then to use it as a flow standard with any other gas (e.g., CO2) for which reliable values of τrelax and the relaxing heat capacity are available.

Stories are creative drivers. They move us and shape us; they inspire and change us. Stories are as old as humans. They were pantomimed around fires and drawn on cave walls and in pyramids. We tell stories to ourselves, to our children, and to each other. Stories bring us together, and sometimes, they move us apart. But mostly, stories are a glimpse into hope, imagination, and all that we are capable of.
Storytelling is even older than language. Stories draw us in. Stories captivate us and teach us.
How we tell stories today may have changed, but the desire to engage with honest, authentic, and motivating stories has not.
The campfire may have turned digital, but people are still human. And humans are still drawn to a good story.
At Kre'Adiv House, telling good stories is what we do. And telling YOUR story is what we're most passionate about. We want to be a part of that narrative; we want to help construct that narrative.
Whether it's helping you tell your story better, or helping it reach a bigger audience, telling your unique, authentic story is what motivates us.

I had the good fortune of hearing Graeme Bloch talk at a conference I attended, and was therefore pleased to get hold of a copy of The Toxic Mix. This is a short work in which he details the various problems in South Africa's education system, as well as some possible solutions to improve matters.
I was somewhat disappointed by the book, however. While it presented a very good overview of the state of education in our country, I found myself learning little that I didn't already know. Similarly, while his solutions are logical, I found them slightly to high-level, and not quite at a point where they can be implemented.
Nevertheless, this is an interesting book, and worth the effort for those interested in South Africa's education system.

This is a super simple nutritious meal that the whole family will love. It takes just minutes to prepare and can be served along sauteed veggies (with butter!), with rice or lentils, on naan or wrapped in lettuce for Indian Chicken Wraps.
Sprinkle chicken strips or chunks with salt, pepper, and half of the garam masala and curry powder. In a large glass bowl, mix yogurt, lime zest and the rest of the garam masala and curry powder. Add chicken to yogurt mixture and stir to coat well. While that marinates, preheat oven to 500 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, fitted with wire racks (I use my cooling racks) or a broiler pan, lay out chicken pieces. Roast until cooked through, about 15 -20 minutes.
You can let the chicken marinate in the yogurt mixture in the fridge for several hours, if you'd like. As an alternative to using the garam masala/curry powder blend, you can try using a Vindaloo spice blend, which has a few similar spices along with a couple that are different.
Additionally, you can skewer chicken before cooking (either in chunks or strips) with wooden skewers. I generally soak the skewers in water for a bit before using so that they will not burn during cooking. This makes great party finger food.
I love all the flavors in this chicken…wish it was my dinner tonight.
It's so easy, and yes, VERY flavorful 🙂 Give it a try soon- it will become a staple!
I'm definitely going to put these on my list to try. I love indian spices.
Hey Chris 🙂 It's definitely worth a try- we sure love it. Easy and delicious, nutrient-dense- can't beat that!
This sounds really good! B/S thighs are the best.
Hi Amy. Another amazing recipe from you. Thanks so much for using our spice blends in it. I just ordered some greek yogurt culture to make with our raw milk, so can't wait to make this with fresh homemade yogurt.

NEW COACH: Steve Kerr named next U.S. men's basketball head coach
USA Basketball made the announcement in December. Prior to the Brooklyn Nets matinee against the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich recognized Durant with the special honor.
The Nets shared the award presentation on their social media account. Durant embraced with Popovich before taking photos with the award.
"It's amazing to be honored in this way," Durant said in a USA Basketball press release in December. "First off to represent your country and do it amongst the best athletes in the world, it's an honor. So many great athletes come through USA Basketball and the national teams in general in all sports, and so to be chosen as one of the top athletes is an honor. I'm very grateful for the opportunity and thankful that I received this award."
In his USA Basketball career, Durant has appeared in 55 games. He is the U.S. men's basketball all-time Olympic scoring leader and owns eight records. Durant has three Olympic gold medals and one FIBA World Championship.

The Pope Versus the President
The Vatican's recent snub of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice isonly the latest salvo in the battle between Pope Benedict XVI andPresident George W. Bush. This tug of war has profound implications forboth U.S. foreign policy and the critical Catholic vote in 2008'spresidential race.
Overlapping Agendas
Thingshaven't always been tense between Bush and Benedict. They share similarviews regarding abortion, gay marriage, and other hot-buttonconservative issues. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (as Benedict was knownbefore becoming Pope in April 2005) even helped Bush secure the WhiteHouse for a second term.
Specifically, after Bush visited theVatican in June 2004, complaining that "Not all the American bishopsare with me," Ratzinger sent a letter to US bishops, ordering them torefuse Communion to "a Catholic politician ��� consistently campaigningand voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws" - athinly-veiled reference to John Kerry. Ratzinger added that any personeven voting for this Catholic politician "would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion." Probably no surprise, then, that Bush increased his margin among Catholics by 6% from 2000 to 2004.
In an interesting twist, Ratzinger also partnered with George W. Bush's brother Neil in a foundation "to promote ecumenical understanding and publishoriginal religious texts" in 1999. Oddly enough, business creditreports listed the foundation as a "management trust for purposes otherthan education, religion, charity or research," leaving the true natureof the Neil Bush/Cardinal Ratzinger venture unclear.
In 2005,Ratzinger was named as a defendant in a U.S. lawsuit suit accusing himof conspiring to cover up the sexual abuse of minors. At the center ofthe controversy was a May 2001 confidential letter he had sent Catholicbishops across the world ordering them to keep evidence of the sexualabuse of minors by clergy secret until 10 years after the child hadreached adult status.
Soon after becoming Pope, however, Ratzinger was dismissed from the case. A US federal judge decided the lawsuit would be "incompatible with the United States' foreign policy interests."
Disagreements Multiply
Onmany contentious issues since then, Pope Benedict XVI has disagreedwith the Bush administration's policies, but only politely andindirectly. For example, Benedict has spoken in favor of theInternational Atomic Energy Agency, which is often at loggerheads withBush administration foreign policy.
Similarly, Benedict's Vaticanhas taken a firm stance against global warming, even acquiring a carbonoffset forest to make the Vatican the "first entirely carbon neutral sovereign state."He has called for greater international co-operation to fight ozonedepletion, yet not overtly criticized White House foot-dragging in thatarea.
The gloves came off, however, regarding the war in Iraq. In a May 2003 interview, Ratzinger said, " There was not sufficient reasons to unleash a war in Iraq. To say nothing of the fact that, given the new weapons that makepossible destructions that go beyond the combatant groups, today weshould be asking ourselves if it is still licit to admit the veryexistence of a 'just war.'"
The U.S. invasion of Iraq was similarly contentious for former PopeJohn Paul II, who sent a special envoy to the White House in March 2003in an effort to prevent an attack. The papal envoy's pleas fell on deaf ears.
Vaticancriticisms of the Bush administration's military intervention in Iraqhave continued unabated. French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, head of thePontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, told an Italianmagazine in August 2007, "The facts speak for themselves. Alienatingthe international community (with the U.S. push for war) was amistake." Tauran, who has referred to the invasion and occupation as a "crime against peace," also said that Christians in Iraq "paradoxically, were more protected under the dictatorship" of Saddam Hussein.
Rice Rebuffed
Assuch, it is perhaps unsurprising that Benedict failed to honorSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice's urgent request for a privatemeeting last month. The Italian periodical Corriere della Sera reportedthat Rice was hoping to capitalize on the Pope's moral authority byhaving a papal audience focused on the Middle East. Instead, Rice wastold that Benedict was on holiday and had to settle for a telephoneconversation with a lower Vatican official.
The ongoing tensionsbetween Bush and Benedict over Iraq put America's over 75 million RomanCatholics in a tricky position for 2008. By supporting candidateshawkish on the Bush administration's Iraq policies, are they defyingthe Pope and the Catholic Church?
For its part, the powerfulUnited States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has taken a firmstance against the US presence in Iraq. A July 2007 letter to HouseRepublican Leader John Boehner (R-OH), USCCB noted, "The current situation in Iraq is unacceptable and unsustainable,as is the policy and political stalemate among decision makers inWashington ��� our nation must have the moral courage to change course inIraq."
Dissent is swelling up from the grassroots as well. InAugust 2007, an alliance of religious groups calling itself Catholicsfor an End to War collected 10,000 signatures for an online petition"urging leaders to commit to a responsible withdrawal of U.S. troops."Sister Simone Campbell of the national Catholic social justice lobbyNETWORK said, "Church leaders and individual Catholics have opposedU.S. policy in Iraq since before the war began," adding that thepetition "lets thousands of Catholics unite to speak out even more strongly for an end to the violence and occupation."
Inother words, being dovish on Iraq might help the next Democraticpresidential contender win Roman Catholic votes. Whether the currentfront-runners qualify for that distinction, however, is another matter.


Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/Holiday Season and here's wishing you a very Happy 2009.
Ours was a very busy season and I'm kind of glad it's over and we can get back to a regular routine of more sleep and less stress.
My parents celebrated their 65th on Dec. 15th. They have had an amazing marriage and are lucky beyond most people's wildest dreams. I think they look pretty darn good for 87 (mom) and 89!
As did Mooky! She claimed this present!
I really think that I'll blog less in 2009 as I just have too many other areas in my life that I'm not covering as well as I should be. Thanks for reading my blog and commenting and I'll try to get around to yours every so often.
