Morning Thought: "Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!" (Psalms 47:1, NKJV). Many people only celebrate when things go their way. But if you believe that Jesus is Lord, you can celebrate even in pain and sadness. Your joy is not based on your circumstances, but on the truth that Jesus has triumphed. Through his death, resurrection and ascension, he has dealt a death blow to sin, satan and sickness. Clap and shout because this king is your King. And to top it off, he lives in you.

One of my favorite activities in the whole world is people watching. Airports are great places for this, but since there isn't one close by, I usually get my fix downtown. Sunday afternoon I spent a few hours eating lunch, chatting with friends, getting a coffee, browsing the Book Bin, and people watching. And let me tell you, there are people to be watched around here.
One of my favorite places to people watch is at La Perla Tapatia in the Reed Opera House. It is up above the sidewalk level so you get a great view of all the people walking by below, plus you get a view out over the four corners of Liberty and Court Streets. Another great spot is the small Starbucks on the corner of Liberty and Court or the Beanery on Liberty. They both have bar seating that faces the window so you can watch the world go by.
A couple with a baby spending 15 minutes deciding which stroller to use to go to the mall (they ended up carrying the baby).
A very manly looking man who was walking a teeny-tiny dog wearing a sweater.
An older couple going out to lunch. She was in a wheelchair and he was so sweet and caring I wanted to cry.
You know what they say about real estate? It's all about the location. And I guess if that's true then Salem, Oregon is about the best real estate you could buy. Just think about this location.
We are one hour from the Pacific Ocean, sand dunes, beach walking, surfing, storm-watching, whale-watching, clam chowder, fresh fish, and all the rest that goes with the rugged Northwest coastal experience.
We are one hour from the mountains - meaning skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoeing and cabins with fireplaces in the winter. And meaning hiking, camping, mushroom hunting, boating, and all the rest of the mountain activities in the summer.
We are one hour from Portland and Eugene which are both big enough cities to have all the amenities you might need, basically at your fingertips, but without the high cost of living and the traffic problems.
We have access to national forests and state parks. We have a valley overflowing in vineyards and wineries. We have local beer, wine, and cider makers. We have fresh, local produce available nearly year round.
So, I went to DaVinci's for Happy Hour the other day with "the ladies" to whom you'll be introduced at a later date. It was delicious and fun and a great time, but what struck me was how cool that whole High St block is becoming. It used to be just DaVinci's and Fuji Ricetime with the Elsinore to back up their coolness. Now we've got La Capitale on the corner, Capitol Dog (which sells borscht and other delicious central European goodness!), Jonathan's which is looking pretty snazzy from my peeks in the window, Sushi Topia - the sushi train, and Pita Pit. I mean, my goodness, that's enough for dinner every night of the week plus an old time movie on Wednesday at the Elsinore. What a cool little block in an even cooler city. You rock, Salem Oregon!

Get ready to meet Mrs. Rostenkowski!
Malcolm in the Middle and The Bernie Mac Show actress Meagen Fay has been cast as Bernadette's mother on The Big Bang Theory, TVGuide.com has learned.
Fay will appear in the Dec. 6 episode, in which Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) and Howard (Simon Helberg) have dinner with her parents in Bernie's apartment. Casey Sander will return as her tough-to-please (for Howard at least) father.
Big Bang Theory's Simon Helberg: Wolowitz gets "planet shock" when he returns from space
Now the question is: What will Mrs. Rostenkowski sound like? Lest we forget, she used to smoke pre-natal cigarettes, which is why Bernie's so... short.
"I'm sure that's why Bernadette's so high-pitched too!" Rauch told TVGuide.com earlier this season. "I'm dying to meet her and know what she sounds like. I keep imagining all these different voices for her in my head."
This is technically the second time we'll see Bernadette's mom: Viewers got an aerial, blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpse of her in the Season 5 finale when the Google Earth satellite zoomed out from Bernadette and Howard's rooftop wedding. Both of Bernadette's parents were supposed to appear onscreen in that episode, but ultimately only her father was featured.
Big Bang Theory's Melissa Rauch: Howard can't handle two Mrs. Wolowitzes in his life
Besides Malcolm and Bernie Mac, Fay, a Second City alum, has appeared on Roseanne, Seinfeld, Desperate Housewives and How I Met Your Mother, on which she plays Lily's mom.
The Big Bang Theory airs Thursdays at 8/7c on CBS. What do you think Mrs. Rostenkowski sounds like?

Pakistan moves to tackle Omicron threat
As Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Health Dr Faisal Sultan said that it's too early to encompass how dangerous Omicron variant of Covid-19 is, the Sindh government on Tuesday issued new guidelines to curb the transmission of Covid-19 in light of the threat posed by the new Omicron variant.
The Sindh Home Department issued the new guidelines that will be applicable across the province from Dec 1 (today) to Dec 15. The notification stated that Karachi Division, Sukkur and Sanghar have been categorised as having "good vaccination progress" while the remaining cities/divisions fall under the "low vaccination progress" category.
Indoor and outdoor gatherings are allowed for vaccinated individuals. In Karachi, Sukkur and Sanghar, there is a maximum limit of 500 people for indoor events and 1,000 for outdoor. For other cities, the limit is 300 people for indoor gatherings and 1,000 for outdoor. Indoor dining, including food courts in shopping malls, is allowed for fully vaccinated individuals till 11:59pm. The occupancy in Karachi, Sukkur and Sanghar has been capped at 70pc and 50pc for the rest of the province. Outdoor dining is allowed for fully vaccinated citizens till 11:59pm. Takeaway/drive thru and home delivery is allowed 24/7, subject to following of SOPs and staff and delivery personnel duly vaccinated. The timings for businesses and markets has been capped at 10pm, while essential services will continue 24/7.
It will take months to develop a new shot of Covid-19 vaccine that works against the Omicron variant as the existing vaccines may be less effective against the new strain, the head of US vaccine manufacturer Moderna told Financial Times.

Our response to CQC statement that mental health is 'at a crossroads'
Posted by Devon Partnership Trust in Mental health, News on 20th July, 2017
The CQC has today issued a media statement warning that the mental health sector is 'at a crossroads'. Our Chief Executive Melanie Walker has responded to the media locally by saying:
"We are pleased to see the continued national spotlight on mental health and agree with many of the CQC's findings, in terms of the challenges being faced by providers of mental health services.
"We were delighted to receive a 'good' rating from the CQC earlier this year and our frontline teams deserve a huge vote of thanks for their ongoing efforts to provide high quality care during very tough times.
"Mental health is one of the seven priorities identified for Devon over the next five years and local commissioners and providers across the health and social care system are committed to addressing the inequities associated with mental health and placing it on an equal footing with physical health.
"We have benefited from additional national money this year as a result of the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health and this is helping to fund local service improvements in areas such as perinatal care (for pregnant women and new mums), better access to psychological therapies and more psychiatric support for people in the county's acute hospitals who have mental health needs."
CQC media statement
CQC warns mental health sector is 'at a crossroads' – some services responding positively to unprecedented challenges but others must move away from out-dated care that leaves people 'helpless and powerless.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) today publishes the findings of its comprehensive inspection programme of all specialist mental health services, giving the most complete picture ever of the quality of mental health provision for people in England.
Inspectors found many examples of excellent care – but they also found too much poor care and far too much variation in both quality and access across different services. This is particularly concerning given the increasing demand for mental health services, meaning that more people risk receiving care that is not good enough – or no care at all.
By 31 May 2017, 68% of core services provided by NHS trusts and 72% of independent mental health locations were rated as good; with 6% of NHS and 3% of independent core services rated as outstanding. Of the 22 NHS trusts originally rated as inadequate or requires improvement that we have re-inspected, 16 achieved an improved overall rating. And nearly all NHS and independent services were rated as good or outstanding for having caring and compassionate staff (NHS: 88% good, 9% outstanding; independent: 93% good, 5% outstanding).
However, the report identifies several areas of concern:, physical environments not designed to keep people safe, care that is over-restrictive and institutional in nature, and poor recording and sharing of information that undermines the efforts of staff to work together to make sure that people get the right care at the right time.
Dr Paul Lelliott, Deputy Chief Inspector of Hospitals (Lead for Mental Health) at the Care Quality Commission said: "More than ever before, people are being encouraged to talk openly about mental health conditions and to share their experiences - and more people than ever are receiving treatment and care for mental health conditions, in part due to a reduction in the stigma associated with mental ill health. But this vital work must be supported by services that give people the help they need, when they need it.
"The mental health sector is at a crossroads. The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health, published last year, along with the newly introduced waiting time standards, point the way to a future where people have easy access to high quality care close to home and are able to exercise choice. To achieve this vision, the sector must overcome an unprecedented set of challenges – high demand, workforce shortages, unsuitable buildings and poor clinical information systems.
"Some services remain rooted in the past – providing care that is over-restrictive and that is not tailored to each person's individual needs. This can leave people feeling helpless and powerless. But the best services are looking to the future by working in partnership with the people whose care they deliver, empowering their staff and looking for opportunities to work with other parts of the health and care system.
"These outstanding mental health services provide world-class care, whether in hospital or in the community; the challenge is how to ensure that everyone, no matter where they live or who they are, has access to services of this quality. The good news is that mental health services in England have the raw material to achieve great things.
"We have rated almost every service as good or outstanding for caring - ratings that were informed by our own observations and with interviews with many thousands of staff and patients.
"Those who deliver and commission care must learn from the services that are getting it right. And we will continue to highlight good practice, drive improvement and act on behalf of people to ensure that everyone gets the help they need when they need it."
Inspectors found that some types of service shone out: community services for people with a learning disability or autism performed particularly well; with 80% rated good and 9% as outstanding. In these services, inspectors found that staff were skilled and appropriately trained, patients were involved in planning their care, and there were systems in place to deal with urgent referrals.
However, looking across all care settings, the report identifies several areas of concern:
- Restrictive practices. There are about 3,500 beds in locked mental health rehabilitation wards, with about two-thirds managed in the independent sector. These wards are often situated a long way from the patient's home, meaning that people are isolated from their friends and families. Inspectors were concerned that some of these locked rehabilitation hospitals were in fact long stay wards that risk institutionalising patients, rather than a step on the road back to a more independent life in the person's home community. Another area of concern was the great variation between wards in how frequently staff use physical restraint to manage challenging behaviour. CQC is further strengthening its assessment of how and how often services use physical restraint, and will be subjecting those services where staff frequently resort to restrictive interventions to much tougher scrutiny.
- Safety. This was the area in which services were most likely to perform poorly, with 4% of NHS core services and 5% of independent mental health core services rated as inadequate for safety and only 59% and 61% respectively rated as good. On too many wards, the combination of a high number of detained patients who pose a risk to themselves and sometimes to others, old and unsuitable buildings, staff shortages and a lack of basic training, make it more likely that patients and staff are at risk of suffering harm.
- Patient clinical information systems. Many clinical staff told inspectors that they had difficulty recording and retrieving information that was sometimes critical to patient care, and had to work with a confusing combination of electronic systems and paper. Ineffective clinical information systems can have a real impact on people – for example, crisis teams not being able to access records for patients taken to a health-based place of safety, which could prevent people getting the care they need at the time they need it most.
Underpinning all these concerns is the fact that mental health services are under significant and increasing pressure. National figures show a continuing decline in the number of mental health nurses (a 12% fall between January 2010 and January 2017), and the number of inpatient psychiatric beds reduced by 4% overall between 2014/15 and 2016/17. At the same time, the number of detentions under the Mental Health Act rose by 26% between 2012/13 and 2015/16.
Providers have tough decisions to make, and there are no easy answers. However, the decisions that are right for people are often those that are right for organisations too:
‒ treating people as active participants in their own care promotes recovery and lessens dependence on services;
‒ investing in better services locally prevents the need for costly out of area placements that risk isolating people from their family and friends; whether that is for an acute admission, or to a psychiatric intensive care unit or to a locked rehabilitation ward; and
‒ investing in information technology that enables staff to enter and retrieve clinical information while on the move will reduce wasted staff time and make care safer.
Leadership that supports staff to work to their full potential not only increases the likelihood that people will receive good care but puts providers in a stronger position to face a future in which the scale of the challenge is unlikely to decrease.
Commissioners, too, have a responsibility to ensure that the services they are buying with public money are right for the people using them.
CQC will play its part by ensuring that everybody gets the care they need to recover - sharing best practice, driving improvement and taking action to protect people where necessary. To help do this, CQC will continue to work closely with experts in the field of mental health care to ensure that inspectors understand the latest thinking on what is a rapidly evolving area of policy and practice.
The best mental health services in England provide care in hospitals and round-the-clock care in the community that is world-class. The characteristics of outstanding providers – like Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust and East London NHS Foundation Trust – are those that display clear leadership, both at a provider and ward level, that ensure their staff have the systems in place to enable them to do their jobs properly and that shape the care they deliver around the people who receive it.

It's an annual affair for our sister company, Ovum to have packed meetings, briefings and presentations, reflecting on key developments, trends and rumours at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona. MWC has always known as a specialized conference for the telco industry, this has somehow changed this year. It is now one of the world's greatest showcases of enterprise technology and emerging trends ranging from artificial intelligence to the long-awaited 5G connectivity.
The overarching theme at this year's MWC was 5G. This was not unexpected, given that we are currently in the 5G investment and commercialization cycle. However, perhaps more noteworthy were the specific IT technologies and operations that were highlighted as key building blocks in this bigger 5G story.
Telco IT and operations topics were much more in evidence this year than in previous years. This is mainly because communications service providers (CSPs) will totally need new IT platforms and operations structures as well as cloud-native architectures if they are to develop, deliver, manage, and monetize new 5G services. Ovum has highlighted three key takeaways from MWC19.
What operations changes are we seeing more of? Green field investments by the likes of new Japanese operator and e-commerce company Rakuten are still the exception to the rule, but we are seeing significant investment by CSPs seeking to transform their legacy systems, such as Telefonica UK's end-to-end BSS/OSS suite deal with NEC/Netcracker. Also, judging from conversations at MWC19 with vendors and operators, a broad mix of cloud-native transformations is finally being embarked on rather than just talked about. DevOps, continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD), microservices architectures and containerization, big data management, and AI – all these have made it onto the to-do list for the major CSPs. This is partly because 5G requires a totally different set of structures to enable and monetize new services.
Collaboration and partnering is the second theme Ovum is highlighting here. Collaboration has been building up a head of steam for several years now, but this year felt that much more intense, especially with hub and lab announcements. This is partly driven by the fact that so many 5G-based business models will depend on diverse partner ecosystems.
There was also an interesting twist to the collaboration theme at MWC19 in the shape of open APIs not just being opened up to third parties but also feeding back into CSPs' internal operations. Open APIs do not just support cross-industry developer collaboration; they can also facilitate easier link-ups between vendors as we saw at MWC.
Finally, we come to the growing impact of AI on operations. AI featured as one of the big themes at this year's event, and as we have been hearing, AI increasingly permeates everything, driven partly by the need for the technology to support the speed and scale of the 5G world.
There was a particularly big focus on the automated network management use cases of AI at the event, with numerous vendor announcements. Several operator sessions were also held on the role of AI and the operator automation opportunity for improved customer experience, suggesting this is also picking up.
In addition to the insight provided in this article, Ovum may provide recommendations and further opinion on the latest transformation technology trends. We invite you to contact us here for an opinion piece related to your industry.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a cartilage degenerative disease and millions are suffering worldwide. Cartilage degeneration is the result of imbalance between anabolic and catabolic processes. In addition to that, increased expression of proteolytic enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinases and aggrecanases also play an important role in the onset of the disease. Treating OA is limited to symptomatic treatments as drugs curing OA is not yet developed as our current understanding about molecular mechanisms involved in this disease progression is not yet fully explored.
It is important to understand the switching mechanism between hypertrophic cartilage and permanent cartilage. This will give new insights in to therapeutic possibilities to OA. Transcription factors SOX9 and RUNX2 are known to play a key role in this switching mechanism. My current research involves mapping their mobility in chondrocytes using biophysical methods such as FRAP and FRET.

Lewis Hamilton has been in 'sweet spot' since 2018
Lewis Hamilton insists he hit a "sweet spot" in form towards the end of 2018 and has not dropped since.
Eight wins from the last 11 races in 2018 for Hamilton turned his title fight with Sebastian Vettel from a fierce battle to a one-horse race.
This season has followed a similar trend with the Brit taking five wins already and enjoying a 29-point lead over Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas in the Drivers' Championship.
The five-time World Champion has credited this to his ability to remain in that "sweet spot".
"Last year I hit that sweet spot at some point during the season, and started being really, really consistent," Hamilton told Autosport.
"The races have been really strong, as last year, and I've not really dropped the ball in that sense, I've not dropped off.
"Last year qualifying at the end of the year was very strong.
"But it's all to do with lifestyle, health, all those kinds of things, and they have a real impact. Also we're doing a great job as a team.
"Whether or not we're quickest on the weekend I've still got to do the job and deliver. I'm hoping that the rest of the year continues.
"I'm happy where I am in life, I have my health, and the people around me. That's all down to lifestyle, and life choices."
His incident with Vettel during the Canadian GP of course earned most of the publicity, but Hamilton himself made a rare mistake as he crashed during free practice.
The 34-year-old prides himself on keeping his errors to a minimum, and so was pleased that he bounced back to take the win at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
"I take a lot of pride in my work and particularly my track record of not making mistakes," he added.
"I've managed to get myself in a really good place, and really delivering minimum faults, mistakes on race weekend and races.
"A small hiccup on Friday [in Canada], but I was able to pull it back on Saturday, and then throughout the weekend."
Hamilton has suggested that Ferrari have power modes available to them which Mercedes can't match, but this hasn't prevented the Silver Arrows from taking every race win so far in 2019.
The Brit is proud of the team's ability to win even when they don't have the best package, and says his goal at every event is to "extract above and beyond".
"What I can say is my races have been really, really strong, really consistent, and even weekends where we've not had the car to really win, I've been able to put it right there with the frontrunners," he said.
"My goal on a race weekend is obviously to do the best that I can do for the team, but it's also to really extract above and beyond."
"If you can be an all-round driver, you work well outside of the car and particularly to pull these things out that others are perhaps not always able to pull together, it makes your value go up."

is a Japanese-French professional mixed martial artist and kickboxer who most recently competed in Bellator's Middleweight division. A professional MMA competitor since 2013, he has also competed for Rizin.

Background
Born and raised in Paris, Kato's father was a Japanese judoka who moved to Paris to pursue a career teaching the martial art, and become one of the top instructors in the country. However, he died when Kato was only a few years old. Kato's mother is French. Growing up, Kato pursued judo but favored the striking techniques of traditional Japanese martial arts such as karate. Kato was also a highly-talented handball player; he began competing in junior high and moved to Japan at the age of 18 where he competed for the national team and attended college. He later returned to his martial arts roots at the age of 23, joining the Kudo Federation of Japan where he competed and won five consecutive national tournaments. After winning his fifth title, Kato was offered a contract by the Japanese MMA promotion HEAT.

Mixed martial arts career

Early career
Kato made his professional debut in March 2013. In the first two years of his career, Kato competed exclusively for the Japan-based promotion, Heat. He compiled a 4–1 record, which included a first-round TKO of Yuki Niimura to win the vacant Heat Middleweight Championship.

Bellator MMA
Kato faced Joe Schilling in his promotional and United States debut at Bellator 139 on June 26, 2015. Despite being a sizable underdog, Kato won the bout in highlight-reel fashion, knocking out the seasoned kickboxer with a superman punch early in the second round.

In August 2015, Kato signed an exclusive, multi-fight contract with the promotion.

Kato faced another experienced kickboxer, Melvin Manhoef, at Bellator 146 on November 20, 2015 in the main event. Kato lost the fight via knockout due to a left hook from Manhoef in the first round.

Kato returned to Bellator in a mixed martial arts bout against A.J. Matthews on October 21, 2016 at Bellator 162.  He won the fight via TKO in the first round.

Kato faced Ralek Gracie at Bellator 170 on January 21, 2017. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Kato faced Chidi Njokuani at Bellator 189 on December 1, 2017. He lost the fight by unanimous decision. Kato was subsequently released from the promotion.

Kickboxing

Bellator Kickboxing
On June 24, 2016, Kato made his professional kickboxing debut for Bellator Kickboxing. He faced Joe Schilling in a rematch at Bellator Kicking 2. Despite Schilling being the more experienced kickboxer, Kato again won the fight by knockout due to a spinning back fist in the second round.

K-1
Kato was scheduled to face Makoto Uehara for his K-1 debut. He beat Uehara by decision, after an extra round was fought.

In his second fight with K-1, Kato was scheduled to fight RUI. Kato won the fight by a first round KO.

Kato challenged for the K-1 Cruiserweight title, held at the time by Sina Karimian, during K-1 K'Festa 2. He lost the fight by a unanimous decision.

After his failed title shot, Kato was scheduled to fight K-Jee in December 2019. He won the fight by a second round KO.

The two of them fought a rematch during Krush 112, for the Krush Cruiserweight title. K-Jee won the fight in the first round, by a body shot KO.

For his sixth fight with K-1, Kato was scheduled to fight Mahmoud Sattari at K-1: K'Festa 4. He lost the fight by a second-round knockout, suffering a broken nose in the process.

Kato faced Ryo Aitaka at K-1: K'Festa 5 on April 3, 2022, in the reserve bout of the 2022 K-1 openweight tournament. He won the fight by a third-round knockout. As Satoshi Ishii later withdrew from the tournament due to injury, he stepped in as the replacement to face Seiya Tanigawa in the tournament semifinals. He lost the semifinal bout by a first-round knockout.

Kato faced Akira Junior at K-1 World GP 2022 in Osaka on December 3, 2022. Despite scoring a knockdown in the first round, he lost the fight by a second-round knockout.

Melissa van Biljon from Eden Community in South Africa brings us these hanging pallets on their back wall.
They had a very small budget but still wanted something visually striking on their stage. So they went to a recycling dump and found some wood pallets. They cleaned them off and hung them from their ceiling. They lit them up with LED lights and added some candles around to soften the look.
