Overview: Perhaps you have described someone as looking at life through "rose-colored glasses". It means they have a somewhat distorted view of things because of the lenses in front of their eyes. The book of Second Corinthians provides the "lens" of God's will and word for our eyes about many things in life.
In this series, we look at a lot of issues faced in life through the lens of God's spirit. We discuss things like grief, hardship, death, reconciliation, repentance, and spiritual warfare. The Apostle Paul speaks directly to all these subjects and more in this 11 week series.
The last message speaks about God using our weakness, to demonstrate His strength. That doesn't make sense through the "lens" of the world system today. But it makes perfect sense to the Lord! Find out how and why!
Monday – We are all people who want other people to know our strengths! And yet, Paul discovered that God will do more in our weaknesses to demonstrate His strength, then we could ever do out of our own capacity. Doesn't make sense, yet it is true. That is the great paradox of the Christian life.
Tuesday – Paul talked about some great revelations God gave him about heaven. And yet to keep him from getting conceited from this, he believed that God permitted a "thorn in his flesh". We don't know what it was, but it was something in his life that tormented him. He then shares how God told him that God's power would actually rest upon him- through his weaknesses!
Wednesday – We share a quote of Max Lucado who shares how many people have gone through unbelievable burdens in life. And yet somehow, God was working in those burdens and through them in our lives. Think about the weaknesses you face in life. Is it possible God has already demonstrated or will demonstrate His strength through that weakness? It is!
Thursday – This scripture has a past, present, and future component in our lives. We can all think perhaps of past experiences where God demonstrated His strength in our weakness. For others, it is going on right now, present tense! For still others, it is yet to happen, but it can and will. Where are you in that time line?
Friday – We close with a powerful story of a man from Florida with a handicapped wife who has discovered firsthand how God works in the weaknesses of their lives to demonstrate His power. He describes how his wife has nothing more to use in her life other than her God given weakness! God will do more with a "surrendered weakness" than He might ever do with an "unsurrendered strength". That doesn't make sense, it's paradoxical. Yet, it's true!
This Week: Parental love means a lot more to people that don't experience it. They might not consciously think about it, but they're impacted by a lack of love more than they know. In the book of 2nd Corinthians, the Apostle Paul tells the people of the church at Corinth, that he loves them with a "parental type love". He gives a description of parental love that may be new to you!
Monday – Henry Ward Beecher said this generations ago, "We never know how much our parents loved us until we became parents." The opposite may also be true, "We never know how much our parents didn't express love to us, until we become parents. Paul describes parental love as not only "spending", but being "spent" in terms of time, energy, and money. Does that speak to you at all in terms of your childhood and/or parenthood?
Tuesday – We illustrate parental love with a story about a young woman with dreams about making it on Broadway. She was a gifted singer who was told she had what it takes to go to the top. She chose marriage, motherhood, and teaching for her life's path. What she describes will not only speak to you, but touch your heart. It really will. The love of a parent is unlike any other!
Wednesday – We share a companion passage from the Old Testament that says parents are to teach their children about the Lord, morning, noon, and night. It's hyperbole or an exaggeration to make a point. We live in a culture where we rarely or ever talk about spiritual things with children. We quote a sociologist who uses a "word picture" about this that you will never forget! Never!
Thursday – Today, I share a story that has produced more response than any story I've used in the last 10 years! It's about a man who was so physically abused by his mother, he "turned himself in" to the authorities. A foster mother's love changed his life for the better. What he says about parental love moved people to tears when I shared this true story three years ago.
Friday – Paul ends his comments with a question, "If I love you more, will you love me less?" Is there something to the thought, whoever loves the least in a relationship holds the most power? We close with the story of a funeral where a son of the deceased man shares his most powerful memory of his dad, a retired FBI agent. What he says will not only surprise you but impact your life!
This Week: Spiritual warfare to some is just as strange as science fiction. They look at the term with suspicion. And yet the Bible speaks with certainty about the reality of spiritual warfare in our lives. All this week on CrossHope, we discuss what the Apostle Paul told the church at Corinth about that warfare in chapter 10 of Second Corinthians, verses 3-5. What he says may surprise you!
Monday – We begin with a true story of a man sharing the pain of knowing that his son was in the Normand invasion of June of 1944. He tells of his prayers for protection of his son in warfare. We transition into the subject of spiritual warfare by talking about the results and fallout of that warfare all around us. What are they in your life?
Tuesday – Sooner or later in life you will realize that the struggle you face in life involves more than just "people or circumstances". We do live in a spiritual world as well as a physical world. We quote C.S. Lewis who describes the two extremes that people believe about Satan and evil in our world. Both extremes are wrong; yet that warfare is real in our culture. It's real in your life and mine!
Wednesday – Paul says that "though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does." Being in the world is different from being of the world. We explain the difference. Then he says that the weapons we use are not the weapons of the world. We describe what those special weapons are. You and I need to at least know what they are.
Thursday – We talk about spiritual strongholds in our lives. What is a spiritual stronghold? The answer is in the word itself. A stronghold is anything in life that has strong hold on my mind, spirit or soul. Is there something in your life that in your heart, you know has a strong hold on your life? Most people can think of something. Paul says that we "demolish" strongholds that are counterproductive in our lives.
Friday – The spiritual weapons we possess are both offensive and defensive. Why? We need both in the struggle of life. We close by talking about Paul's comment that we even "take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." Everything in our lives flows out of our thought life, whether we know it or not. According to Jesus, every sin has its origin in our minds and thoughts. Most people realize that is true. Spiritual warfare is either true or false. What's your verdict?
This Week: Author Patricia Schultz has written two travel books that are best sellers. They both have to do with 1,000 places you need to see in this country and around the world before you die. In the "world version edition", there is only one place in Ohio that she believes that you and I must see before we die. It completely surprised me; I think it will surprise you. All this week, we talk about a place that from a spiritual point of view, we must all visit. It's a place called repentance.
Monday – Most people think of the word repentance as an archaic and outdated word. Even the dictionary on your iPhone will possibly incorrectly define it. Most people define it as simply being sorry or contrite for your sins. It's much more than that. The word in the Greek language means to turn 180 degrees; turning away from something in order to turn toward something else.
Tuesday – The passage we study talks about "worldly sorrow" and "godly sorrow". We all know the sorrow and regret of being discovered or caught in a sin. That's worldly sorrow; sorry for the consequences. Godly sorrow is when you and I realize that all sin is a wound against the heavenly Father! It's godly sorrow that actually leads to true repentance!
Wednesday – Have you ever asked someone to tell you what they think your faults are? That can be a risky experiment. The word of God can do the same thing in our lives when we read it or listen to it. It actually can confront us about what is going on in our lives. What has God ever confronted you with? What did you do next? More than that, what did you refuse to do?
Thursday – Today, I share what I honestly feel is the most powerful story I have ever told on the subject of repentance. I'm not exaggerating. It's about a young man, sentenced to 12 years in prison for robbing 5 banks, and his coming to a place called repentance. Listen to what he says about his past, present and future as it relates to that word. It is a life-changing story!
Friday – There is a rarely quoted verse in the book of Acts that says when we repent, not only are our sins blotted out, "times of refreshing" come. What does that mean? The phrase literally means, "Recovery of breath"; you can breathe again! That's no small thing. When you and I visit a place called repentance, we can spiritually breathe again. How's your breathing?
This Week: Over 1,000,000 people die every year in our world due to contaminated water! And yet, do you remember the last time you heard that in the media? Contamination happens when a substance is rendered impure by the addition of another substance. The Apostle Paul talks about the "contamination" of our bodies and souls in 2nd Corinthians 7, all this week on "CrossHope". How does that happen? We'll discuss four ways that it happens in your life and mine.
Tuesday – We share the first of four things that can contaminate our lives. Surprisingly, the first is anger. More men and women have contaminated their lives with anger than they're aware. James says that "anger does not produce the righteous life that God desires". Frankly, it does just the opposite. We'll talk about that today.
Wednesday – The most requested message I have given on the radio in over 30 years is a message on anger. A Christian psychologist told me the reason is this: "We're all the victims of someone else's anger. But we're also victim makers or victimizers." The second cause of contamination in our lives is resentment. We talk about how resentment impacts lives, marriages, and families. Bitterness is the third cause of contamination. Bitterness does to the soul what sexual impurity does to the body.
Thursday – The last source of contamination we discuss is envy. There's a difference between envy and jealousy. Also, the Bible talks of two types of envy: envy and bitter envy. We'll explain the difference. If there is anger, resentment, bitterness, or envy in your life, you are contaminated! Why? Remember, contamination happens when a substance is rendered impure by the addition of another substance.
Friday – We close with a story of a woman from Russia who shares how people around the world deal with stress and guilt. What she says will surprise you and bring a smile to your face. The only "answer" to guilt and its stain upon our souls is the blood of Christ! God has challenged us in 2nd Corinthians 7:1 to avoid that which contaminates our souls. Are you up to the challenge of facing what that may be in our lives? Anger? Resentment? Bitterness? Envy?
This Week: To be honest, I was tempted to "skip" this passage when I preached this series. In our politically correct culture, this scripture is unthinkable in the lives of most people. It really is. This passage is not only politically incorrect; it is blatantly offensive to the sophisticated man or woman of our day. If you don't believe it, just read it out loud. Listen to it from the world's point of view, and you'll see what we mean.
Monday – Paul begins by admonishing us: "Don't be yoked together with unbelievers". This is from a farming illustration in the Old Testament. A yoke was a device that put together two animals for plowing. It implies close proximity physically; Paul means it emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. Don't be attached in those ways to those who don't acknowledge the Lord God Almighty is the message. Easy to do? Not at all!
Tuesday – Who are the people you take your social cues from? Who are the people that greatly influence your behavior and moral choices that you make in life? Those are probably the people with whom you are "yoked". We are yoked and connected to the people that impact what we do, what we say, and what we think.
Wednesday – What moral choices have you had to make this week, this month, or this year? Paul's message to the church at Corinth had to do with "hanging out" with those who worship idols and thus being yoked to them emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. Paul asks a rhetorical question: "What fellowship does light have with darkness?" The answer? None! We can't be "Christ followers" on Sunday, and then be idol worshipers during the week.
Thursday – We tell a dramatic story of a man who had to make a moral choice that affected his future income. My guess is that most people couldn't make the choice he had to make. Listen and see if you agree! When money is involved in moral choices, decisions are influenced in ways hard to measure. Often money rides in the front seat; ethics and morality ride in the trunk!
Friday – We begin with a disclaimer! This day's edition of CrossHope may not be suitable for small children to listen to. It's a description of a crime committed in southern California and its impact on the victim of the crime. His account of what the crime did to him psychologically and spiritually is really worth listening to, if you're able to listen!
This Week: Two days before I gave this message, I lost a brother in law suddenly and unexpectedly in death. Ironically, the last message he heard from the word of God was the same message you perhaps heard on CrossHope last week. It was from the passage in 2nd Corinthians 5, where Paul says, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." This message was given the next Sunday. What if this was to be the last message you heard? It's from the same chapter of the book; it's about reconciliation. Reconciliation is discussed, with the Lord and with other people.
Monday – We begin with the story of the "Miracle on the Hudson", the plane that had an emergency landing on the Hudson River in New York City. One writer described what happened as a "jolting experience." That's probably putting it mildly. Coming to Christ can be a jolting experience. Being reconciled to another person can be such an experience.
Tuesday – We are not only reconciled to God through what Christ accomplished on the cross, we can be reconciled to others. According to the Apostle Paul, we have been called to a ministry of reconciliation. As people who have been made "brand new", we have the opportunity to be instruments of reconciliation. Has the Lord used you lately for that purpose?
Wednesday – How do you "look" at people? We can look at people politically, racially, educationally, economically, and even sexually. Paul tells the Corinthians that as Christians, we look at people from God's point of view. We see people who need forgiveness in their lives and who need to be reconciled to others. That's why we all are called to the ministry: the ministry of reconciliation. Make sense?
Thursday – When a person comes to Christ, everything is different- especially your perspective on life! You will look at your house, your car, your job, even your family differently because of Christ. When you have a different view of life, death, and eternity, it changes everything you look at. It really does!
Friday – We close with a true story from the 1980's. A woman who was involved in the sinking of a large sailboat on the Atlantic was one of only two survivors. She went through a horrible ordeal. She made the comment that she had "always believed in God in a vague Sunday School kind of way." I'm not sure we can make it in life in 2015 with that kind of belief. We need to believe in the God of reconciliation; the One who makes reconciliation possible though what happened on the cross.
This Week: A person's view of death and life does color how someone looks at everything! Your view of death and life will impact how you treat your family and friends. It really does. Second Corinthians 5 tells us what happens when we are "absent" from the body. We transition into the presence of God. Either that is a cruel joke, or a great truth of scripture. You and I need to decide what we believe about that. Why? It impacts all of life!
Monday – We tell the story of Nancy from Massachusetts who tells of tragically losing her brother and how her family coped with the loss. They simply believed in love (not God or the Bible), and she feels that was the basis of their comfort. Interestingly enough, God takes credit for teaching people how to love. If that's true, the basis of comfort is in the One in whom she refuses to believe.
Tuesday – There is a growing movement in this country to have "non-Christian" funerals. It's an effort to celebrate life, without talking about anything Biblical or having to do with Christ. While it is certainly people's right to do that, it offers little hope to the living. Ironically, any hope in death is connected to the One who claimed to be the "resurrection and the life".
Wednesday – According to the Apostle Paul, we are in one of two places. We are either "in this body" or away from the Lord. Or, we are "absent from this body" and present with the Lord. For some, that is too simplistic. And yet Paul says that it's one way or the other. The more you think about that and believe it, the more power those words have in your life!
Thursday – Verse 10 tells us something very politically incorrect in today's world: "For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ." No one wants to be held accountable for anything in our culture today. Therefore, people "stand in judgment" of anything in Scripture that speaks of God's judgment with us. Talk about irony!
Friday – We close the message with a story told by a California attorney of a six-year old boy who lost his mother in a train accident. What the boy expressed to his grandmother in his grief conveyed his childlike belief in life after death. He believed he would someday be reunited with his mother. The only hope we have in death is connected to Jesus Christ. Do you believe that?
This Week: The word light has a literal, physical meaning. We can see or visualize nothing without it. Light also has a spiritual meaning. Jesus referred to Himself as the "light of the world". God is light; the word of God is light. Truth can be light in a dark world. We take a look at light and darkness through the looking glass of Christ from 2nd Corinthians 4 this week.
Monday – Pastor Jim Cymbala of Brooklyn, New York tells the dramatic story of a former heroin addict nearly dying of an overdose on the roof of the building behind the church. What happens to her physically and spiritually will speak to your life about an important subject: light. She went from the darkness of addiction and death to the light of God's truth in Christ.
Wednesday – Verse four says that the "god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers" so they cannot see the light of the gospel of Christ. The god of this age is Satan. He really doesn't care what you do or don't do, as long as you are blind! The two most common ailments that Jesus healed in his earthly ministry were blindness and lameness. We define both spiritually.
Thursday – Spiritual blindness is refusing to see the sin in our own lives. Spiritual lameness happens when we are so focused on the past, present, or future, we can do little or nothing spiritually in terms of forward motion. Veterinarians speak of a condition known as "untreatable lameness" in a horse or dog. Jesus would say that the cares of this world can choke out anything spiritual in our lives. Sound familiar?
Friday – We close with the story of professional golfer, Payne Stewart who tragically lost his life in 1999 in a plane crash. Telling his story involves telling about his coming to the light of Christ before his untimely death. Hopefully, we all come to the point of seeing the light of the world in our lives before we come to the end of our lives. What gives Payne's family hope, even in death is the One who is the resurrection and the life! Got hope with a capital H?
This Week – Sooner or later, we all face hardships. Sometimes they are medical, other times financial. Sometimes they involve family, sometimes they involve others. The Apostle Paul tells the church at Corinth that the hardships he faced were not only beyond his ability to endure them; he sometimes despaired of living! If you can relate to that in any way, this message is for you.
Monday – We begin with the lyric to a country western song: "I'd Like to Have a Problem like That." A line of the song goes like this, "I'd like to be too rich, I'd like to be too thin, I'd like to be too young, I'd like to be too in." Have ever wished you had someone else's problems? We all face problems in life, and the Lord speaks to that issue in your life and mine.
Tuesday – God doesn't necessarily deliver us "out" of a hardship, but He does deliver us "in" those hardships. Paul says the God who raises the dead is the One we appeal to in dealing with our hardships of life. We appeal to the One who has the power over life, death, and eternity.
Wednesday – Paul didn't know for a fact that God would actually deliver him in his hardships, but he believed that He would! That's important. We explain how that observation applies to your situation and mine. On the basis of his trust, Paul moved forward with living and serving. So can we!
Thursday – We tell the story of John from Knoxville, Tennessee. He lost his father tragically, and yet he tells how the Lord used his father's death to change his life. God didn't deliver him out of the tragedy, He delivered him in it. Could it be the Lord can use the hardships in your life and mine to minister to others in ways never imagined? He can; He does!
Friday – If you're a parent, job one for you is to pray for your children. If you're married, job one is praying for your spouse. Unfortunately, most people don't understand that. The highest office in the body of Christ is to be an intercessor. It's part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to encourage us in every problem of life, including the hardships.
We begin a new series on CrossHope from the book of 2nd Corinthians in the New Testament. We will look at numerous issues in your life and mine through the lens or looking glass of scripture. Really we look through the lens of Christ. We begin with the subject of grief, and how that God seeks to comfort us in that grief. But then God asks us to do something with the comfort He gives: comfort others through the comfort we have received from Him! What a concept!
Monday – A man from Providence, Rhode Island is the subject of the introduction. He's visiting a church with his girlfriend in Chicago. Without warning he starts weeping in the middle of the service, just thinking about a friend who had committed suicide, years earlier. He was surprised by his grief; more than that surprised by the comfort that a complete stranger gave to him.
Tuesday – The secret that we share from 2nd Corinthians is this: God does comfort us in our grief! How? Through His word, through His spirit, and through other people that He has already comforted in their grief experiences! Even though I had conducted many funerals for other people's fathers, I never understood losing a father until I lost mine. My level of understanding changed through my going through the same loss.
Wednesday – Paul addresses his letter to the "church of God in Corinth". God had a presence in the city with a bad reputation. God can have a presence in a family that is not necessarily involved as a whole in the body of Christ, but just one person is! That family is then blessed by the connection of that person with the Lord, even when don't know it.
Thursday – We repeat something said at the end of yesterday's program that I feel is one of the most important things that I have ever said in any sermon! That's no small thing to say that. We define what a Christian is in terms of how we bless other people. Don't miss this. You may need to hear this statement with what's going on in your life and in the lives of those you love.
Friday – We close with a quote by John Fountain, an African-American writer who shared the grief in his life brought about by the desertion of his earthly father. He believes he was "hobbled by years of fatherlessness". John says he was "found" by his Heavenly Father through faith in Christ. It's a story that honestly can change someone's life!


For those of you that don't know, our friend Kintsho has been diagnosed with cancer. He needs to find $1000 pw for a special treatment to extend his life. We are holding a Special concert benefit to help raise money for him and his family. For those of you that know Kintsho and would like to help, spreading the word via email or Facebook or even a poster in your area would be amazing.
We are also looking for donations to raffle off and auction on the night. If you know of someone or even have an inkling of someone who may be interested in supplying us with stuff to auction off on the night (gift vouchers, food or product hampers, beauty sessions etc). that would help a lot.
Finally, its seems that this night will end up being somewhat of an 'industry' reunion of sorts. There will be lots of familiar faces, with no less than 16 acts performing too, so if you and your friends are into helping out, enjoying a night of passionate musicians, Djs Singers and Dancers giving there all, then that will be worth the price of admission alone.
BTW at the bottom of the poster are the bank details for those that would like to donate something towards the cause.

The Revolution Will Be Improvised: Five Innovations That Could Change Branch Banking
This article provides a glimpse into what many (or even most) branches could resemble someday: 1) lounges where people can relax and local communities come together; 2) retail stores; 3) gathering places that double as community centers; and 4) coffeehouses.
The Most Impactful New Trend in Credit Union Website Design
Real-time personalization is the most impactful new trend in credit union website design because it dramatically increases engagement and conversion. A study by Forrester found that "77% of consumers have chosen, recommended, or paid more for a brand that provides a personalized service or experience."
NCR Teams with Town & Country FCU to Fine-Tune Alexa's Financial Skills
NCR has partnered with Maine-based Town & Country Federal Credit Union to create a new skill for Amazon Alexa-enabled devices that allows members to securely link and manage their personal account information through the device. According to a press release, Town & Country's skill will allow members to access their account information with simple voice commands, such as, "Alexa, ask Town and Country, what is my balance?"
More than 9 out of 10 Paychecks Now Electronic
Ninety-five percent of employees receive their wages electronically, according to the 2017 "Getting Paid In America" survey conducted by the American Payroll Association (APA). Electronic wage payments offer employees several benefits over paper paychecks, including not having to travel to the office to pick up a paycheck following a natural disaster.
New Standards Will Shore up Internet Router Security
Industry efforts to strengthen the critical Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) system that the Internet's core routers use to direct traffic just received a boost with the release of new draft standards by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The standards center around a security feature called BGP Path Validation and are designed to ensure that Internet traffic is not accidentally or maliciously intercepted and rerouted as it travels from one point to another. Such interception has resulted in network disruption, eavesdropping, and financial theft in recent years and has heightened concerns about the vulnerability of the BGP system to targeted attacks.
81% of Organizations Fail to Properly Address Cloud Vulnerabilities, Report Says
RedLock's recent Cloud Security Trends details the rise of data exposures, changes in cloud security, and what businesses need to do to address these issues.
* 81% of organizations fail to properly address cloud vulnerabilities
* 53% of organizations using cloud storage services like Amazon S3 have unintentionally exposed one or more such service to the public
* Admin accounts have been compromised at 38% of organizations

OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we generated a new protein, recombinant human alpha-1-anti-trypsin (AAT)-IgG1 Fc fusion protein (AAT-Fc), and evaluated its properties to suppress inflammation and interleukin (IL)-1beta in a mouse model of gouty arthritis. METHODS: A combination of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals and the fatty acid C16.0 (MSU/C16.0) was injected intra-articularly into the knee to induce gouty arthritis. Joint swelling, synovial cytokine production and histopathology were determined after 4 h. AAT-Fc was evaluated for inhibition of MSU/C16.0-induced IL-1beta release from human blood monocytes and for inhibition of extracellular IL-1beta precursor processing. RESULTS: AAT-Fc markedly suppressed MSU/C16.0-induced joint inflammation by 85-91% (p<0.001). Ex vivo production of IL-1beta and IL-6 from cultured synovia were similarly reduced (63% and 65%, respectively). The efficacy of 2.0 mg/kg AAT-Fc in reducing inflammation was comparable to 80 mg/kg of plasma-derived AAT. Injection of AAT-Fc into mice increased circulating levels of endogenous IL-1 receptor antagonist by fourfold. We also observed that joint swelling was reduced by 80%, cellular infiltration by 95% and synovial production of IL-1beta by 60% in transgenic mice expressing low levels of human AAT. In vitro, AAT-Fc reduced MSU/C16.0-induced release of IL-1beta from human blood monocytes and inhibited proteinase-3-mediated extracellular processing of the IL-1beta precursor into active IL-1beta. CONCLUSIONS: A single low dose of AAT-Fc is highly effective in reducing joint inflammation in this model of acute gouty arthritis. Considering the long-term safety of plasma-derived AAT use in humans, subcutaneous AAT-Fc emerges as a promising therapy for gout attacks.

Got crushed as the Japanese in Coral Sea and soundly beaten as the Germans in Battle Of The Bulge. Patton made an audacious strike from the south the relieve the siege of Bastogne. All I could say to that was Nuts!
Maybe the AI in Wars Across The World isn't so bad after all
I finished Mass Effect, which was a technically superb but slightly joyless experience. It makes me think that all the games I like the most have an element that it lacks. It's hard to give it a name: "charm" seems to be the right expression, but it isn't necessarily anything cutesy or "nice" (or maybe "wit" in the old sense of the word). It's a mixture of having a genuinely engrossing setting and a sense of (non-forced) quirkiness or individuality. Anyhow, Mass Effect is extremely good.

Still PUBG with a few friends, one who left the country a year ago so we play partly for the social aspect. The game itself is great though, the gun play and just general feel of it hasn't been matched for me personally with any other recent FPS games.

Still shouting abuse at HOI4; playing as Germany, attacked nobody, assembling the Axis against an anticipated Soviet attack - then Turkey declares against Bulgaria, joins the Allies, and suddenly the entire West is up in arms.

I've been playing Abzu. You are a diver, who seems to be a woman but might be a robot, and you explore an underwater world. It's basically Journey under the sea, and while it's not clear what I'm actually trying to do, it's relaxing and the graphics are beautiful. Journey helped keep me sane during last year's heatwave, and hopefully Abzu will help in 2021.

Like a crazy person (or someone who prevaricates buying things for so long he can usually get them on sale) I'm playing both Wasteland 3 and Valkyria Chronicles 4 for the first time.
Despite being a mix of XCOM and Fallout in Colorado for the former and tactical JRPG in not-Europe for the latter, they both somehow involve Rangers and heavy snow.
Post-apocalypse isn't my favourite setting but I'm liking Wasteland 3 a lot, already having factions and morally difficult questions to answer. I played, and liked, the first Valkyria Chronicles, but this is the first real successor game to mainstream consoles. I like the small changes to the battle system (gaining a small APC rather than a second tank changes things up tactically, and the basic command system works well), story/characters not so far on a par with the original but not bad.
Professional Proofreader - send me a DM if you're interested and we can discuss your needs (word count, English variant, payment (including preferred currency), deadlines, and any other concerns).
I've recently fired up XCOM Apocalypse and I'm rapidly remembering why I never finished it when it first came out. Jeez! This game is hard…so hard it's not particularly enjoyable just getting wiped out.
On novice level, my first mission and I'm up against half a dozen headcrabs and other aliens. I quickly lost two of my four agents to these brainsuckers (which then are controlled by the aliens). I used stun grenades to put the turncoats out of action without hurting them and then dealt with the remaining aliens. I had hoped that the group could return to base and perhaps the turncoats could go back to duty after medical treatment. But no. It appears once under alien control, they're gone for good and no way to bring them back. Might as well just kill them.
All this happened within the first day of operation. My troops had no chance to train or improve the odds against them. If this difficulty level on novice isn't caused by a bug, I dread to think what this game is like on the greatest difficulty level.
I quickly lost two of my four agents to these brainsuckers (which then are controlled by the aliens)
Mind control in any game is one of my pet peeves. Hate it so much :/
Tried the same battle (I saved at the start of tactical combat). I knew there were headcrabs, I had all my guys with action points reserved so they could react to any enemy movement. They were set to cover all directions and I still got nailed. Lost three of the four troops in one turn. Never saw a thing. The headcrabs suddenly just appeared and took over. Normally, you catch a glimpse of them scuttling across the floor (they must have a huge number of action points for the distance they can travel). The fog of war is more like fog of teleportation. I did some digging on the internet and it seems that XCOM Apocalypse was released as a half-finished mess with loads of issues. That's it. No point in wasting my time. This one's binned from my hard drive. Time to move on to something else.
Some more tactical innovations have occurred with VC4. Just small stuff but it all adds up to some extra flexibility, and are improvements rather than detriments (not always the case when things are 'updated').
@thaddeus6th Noticed I have VC4 from what I suspect was a Humble Bundle. Would you say it's worth playing?
I should've read a book last night; instead, I stayed up to beat RE: Village. Great game, keeps getting better as you go. Took me 11 hours.

In picking division winners, we've constantly talked about "value," the idea that some bookmakers' odds don't reflect the real chances of a team winning. In the final division odds preview for the AFC and NFC East, we see the different ends of the value spectrum.
One division features a team that's all but guaranteed to win, but can't be represented at those odds; the other appears to be a four team race, so the true contenders get better value than they should.
After hitting the North, South and West divisions in the AFC and NFC, we finish our previews here.
Thanks to the Tom Brady suspension, we're looking at the most wide-open AFC East race in the last seven years (Yes, the Pats at 1/2 is the most wide open it's been.) That goes to show you just how one-sided this division has been.
You can bet the Patriots to not win the division for the surprisingly high price of +175. Whether you should is an entirely separate matter.
New England has been the model of consistency under Bill Belichick, especially lately. His Patriots teams have finished 12-4 in each of the last four seasons and reached four straight AFC Championship games. Who among the East leftovers seems capable of hitting the 12-win mark this season?
Is it the bumbling Jets, reliant on a journeyman QB who has never strung together two good seasons? The perennially 8-8 Dolphins, for whom every offseason pickup seems to backfire? Or the Bills, the owner of sports' longest playoff drought, and the early favorite for "injury riddled team of the year"?
Even if you have rock-bottom expectations for Jimmy Garoppolo, the Patriots team around him is too good not to survive the first quarter of the season. (And even if it wasn't, the other three teams are too mediocre to pull away.) The Pats finished last season sixth in points for, ninth in points allowed, and sixth in Defense-adjusted Value Over Average ("DVOA"). They've also won seven straight AFC East titles.
The best play here is not really a question.
Change you can set your watch to, the NFC East hasn't had a repeat champion since 2004. (Bad news for Washington fans.) That's part of why, from top to bottom, this year's race features the tightest division odds in football. And it's already gotten crazier without a single down of meaningful football being played.
Slight favorites to open the year, the Dallas Cowboys have already lost starting quarterback Tony Romo for 6-10 weeks, and will enter the season with rookie Dak Prescott at quarterback. The Cowboys don't have a dynamic defense, ranking last in takeaways in 2015 and 19th in defensive DVOA. That means this kid will need to lead an effective offense if Dallas is to survive the first half of the season.
Reigning-champion Washington took advantage of an easy schedule last season, never beating a plus-.500 team yet still finishing 9-7. Washington boasts an exciting passing attack, but not much else. Incapable of running the ball, and well below-average on defense, if you're taking the Skins to win this season, you must have a ton of confidence in Kirk Cousins.
New York and Philadelphia both enter the season with new bench bosses; and in the last two years, teams with new head coaches have averaged a 1.7-win increase Of the two, the Giants made the more significant upgrades, addressing a ton of defensive needs through free agency. With an offense headlined by Eli Manning and Odell Beckham, the G-Men are currently the most talented team – on paper – in the East.
Philly, meanwhile, is getting shorter odds than they deserve because of the division they're in. Sam Bradford leads a no-name offense (at least for now, until Carson Wentz is deemed ready) that will put a ton of pressure on a defense that faded down the stretch last season.
Though this division has been defined by its unpredictability, I see too many holes on Washington and Philly to take them seriously. The Cowboys and Giants both offer good value, but I will roll with the team that still has its starting quarterback available for Week 1.

Police were also made aware of the matter and have looked into the allegations.

David Doe gives his personal view on the current outlook for the London insurance market.
The London market is very well placed to capitalise on the robust trading conditions now prevalent in the insurance industry cycle. But prior to any overindulgence, the market should take a sharp intake of breath and aim to consolidate and to plan long term, beyond the bubble of the current hard market. Alas, this is only likely to happen at few underwriting entities. Most underwriters, wary of professional mortality and management purges, will be only too eager to squeeze and to gouge as much as possible to keep themselves away from any corporate unpleasantness. How can you blame them? For those underwriters who have made it to the Nirvana of the hard market are now too busy to think of anything as mundane as forward planning, let alone building foundations for the future. But they should, for these salad days will not last forever. Although here for at least a couple of years, the hard market will eventually go, and through the present conditions the more prudent underwriters, and their management, should look beyond the current cycle.
This is, of course, a time of much underwriting opportunity and potentially large future profits. But it is also a time to consolidate, and to nurture relationships, some of which will be born out of the white heat of the hard market. Yet a wrong attitude now - and this is certainly a market that can pump up the prima donna's ego - and long-term damage could easily be done.
On a broader basis, London must cast a wary eye on the Bermudian market and its development. Bermuda, with its relaxed regulatory and tax regime, has attracted much virgin capital over the past 18 months - though London did not. Bermuda is a market that `plays' at the top level of reinsurance, but is now broadening out into certain direct lines on a lower attachment basis. Any significant shift in its business focus could ultimately act to take business away from London. In the meantime, London should be safe in the harbour of the current market and enjoy the good times, as it is doubtful there will be any change soon. The current economic (and political) outlook is favourable for the insurance market to remain hard for a while yet.
The investment fundamentals remain miserable. One has to go back over 60 years to see a time when the world's major stock markets fell for three consecutive years. The economic slowdown following the bursting of the technology bubble and the major terrorist attacks of September 11 had a dramatic drag effect on the large Western economies. Although major economic upheaval, such as high unemployment and raging inflation, has, to date, been avoided, it cannot be discounted completely. The major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, have aggressively cut interest rates again and again. This is designed to act as a stimulating influence throughout the economy generally, and, specifically, by maintaining and even increasing levels of consumer spending. However, this effort to revive and to kick-start the economy brings with it its own dangers. By allowing consumers (particularly those in the US and UK) to build up high levels of debt, the downside is the payback of such debt, though it is currently fundable due to the low interest rates.
Any significant increase in unemployment or inflation could trigger a formidable downside in the economy. Indeed, even without any significant increase in unemployment or inflation, consumers will be highly unlikely to maintain such growing debt burdens and eventually they will at some point become `bogged down' and as a consequence, overall consumption will slow. In such a scenario, the major Western economies are likely to yield only anaemic levels of growth, impacting corporate profits and maintaining a depressingly dull stock market. This dreary economic outlook is set to last, and will, in turn, help maintain the hard insurance market. For insurers must rely on pure underwriting profit and not on any investment cushion. Further, the appetite of capital providers will be diminished. So there is no economic reason to see any fatigue of the current market conditions, at least in the short term.
The political outlook is even more difficult to call than the economic one. The potential for conflict in Iraq, and wider conflict throughout the Middle East, is rightly cause for much concern. The West is still highly reliant upon the natural resources of oil, and with some 80% of the world's production generated from the Middle East, any extended or complicated conflict could see oil prices rocket, which could push much of the world's already ailing airline industry into widespread bankruptcy. The threat of al Qa'ida terrorism has also certainly not receded, although hopefully it might be more contained. There are also other simmering concerns for the world, be they how to deal with `rogue' states like North Korea or the lingering threat of confrontation between India and Pakistan. But hopefully the most obviously pressing issue - that of war with Iraq - might be dealt with, if required, in quick order. Indeed, if this particular conflict can be decisively concluded thereafter, with American insistence, pressure can be brought to bear upon the Israelis and Arabs to make a lasting peace. Given such a Utopian outcome, much of the world's pent-up tension could be released. This would likely be followed by a powerful economic recovery induced by a return of confidence. Such is the current economic and political paralysis in the world that if this particular blockage can be flushed away, stability might return and lead to increased growth. An enormous amount of responsibility therefore rests not only with our political leaders, but also with our armed forces.
In the meantime, all of this uncertainty impacts the insurance markets in two ways. Firstly, the financial markets hate instability and this will affect investment returns and capital availability. Secondly, increased fear can generate more need for protection against risk and in turn, more business for insurers. This combination will further maintain the hard market conditions.
Of course, during times of such uncertainty, be they politically or economically driven - or both - many industries falter, but the insurance industry doesn't necessarily follow suit. The need for insurance protection is, in reality, increasing and not decreasing, and this need will grow as the world becomes an even more uncertain and dangerous place. However, that said, the particular problem that insurers face is the `double whammy' of not only recent catastrophic losses such as the vortex of September 11 and the European floods of last year, but also the beating that their investment funds have suffered with the dramatic three-year bear market. The insurance sector worldwide has seen a staggering figure of nearly $100bn wiped off its combined stock market capitalisation.
In order to rebuild damaged balance sheets, numerous insurers have had to go cap in hand to capital markets with rights issues, often on a highly discounted basis. Some major insurers have noticeably failed in efforts to gain market backing and now look decidedly shaky. It is interesting to note how some of the smaller, more lighter-footed specialist insurers in Lloyd's have succeeded in raising capital where some of their monolithic peers clearly have not. This is of itself a testament to the Lloyd's market, and that `size' and `critical mass' are not necessarily king. Hopefully, those investment bankers and private equity investors who hold an almost irrational, unfair prejudice against investing at Lloyd's will think again. In the current investment climate, and given estimated gross domestic product growth predictions of only 1%-3% for the UK and Euro area economies, where else but with specialist publicly quoted insurers is there the possibility of double digit returns? In the past soft market - ironically driven by high investment returns and abundant naïve capital - insurance stocks were very much out of vogue. An industry that was much maligned as drab and boring has become, in certain areas, highly exciting for stock pickers scouring the market for opportunities for `real' growth and dividend-bearing stocks. There appear to be some excellent short to medium-term buys among the quoted `boutique' Lloyd's insurers. These companies, while small in size, have excellent management coupled with outstanding individual underwriting talent. They are the quick-moving `Artful Dodgers' of the market, while their larger peers may lack innovation and speed, hampered by tiers of bureaucratic management that unintentionally stymie the individual in favour of the company culture.
It is an undeniable truism that the insurance business is essentially a `people' business; capital is king, but key people are vital. This is something that the Lloyd's market, often derided as an archaic institution, has understood for more than 300 years. Face-to-face trading in the `Room' at Lloyd's sets the place apart from other markets. It is a unique part of a unique market; it is not just `old fashioned' - it is nothing to do with fashion - it is just good business practice. It is most welcome to see the growing confidence within Lloyd's manifested in the recent string of successes of market businesses obtaining increased capacities. At £14.5bn this year, Lloyd's market capacity has never been greater. But currently, and despite some pockets of successful capital-raising, there is still a lack of underwriting capacity in the world insurance market, that will further extend the life of the current hard market. The fact is, there is still substantial undercapitalisation in the market.
an increasing reliance upon high technology in everyday life will become ever more pronounced, indeed, to a level of extreme vulnerability for the world economy. This increasing dependency will magnify the risk potential of major interruption or failure, which will require a growing level of protection.
All in all, and despite many complicated issues, the world insurance industry is well placed to grow, especially in our uncertain world. For although undoubtedly the world has become a much riskier place, so too has the need for risk protection increased. As such, the risk business of insurance is well suited to the current world scene, and no other insurance market is as well placed as London.


ALBANY — A freshman state lawmaker likened abortion to "African-American genocide," spurring a lengthy, heated debate Tuesday on the Assembly floor and leading some of his Democratic colleagues to walk out in protest.
The remark from Assemblyman Ronald Castorina, R-Staten Island, riled the Assembly chamber, angering Democrats and black lawmakers, who repeatedly tried to interrupt Castorina as he tried to continue his speech.
The comment came as the Assembly debated a bill that would formally install federal abortion rights into state law.
Castorina's comment came as he recited statistics about the race of those seeking abortions. He did not cite a source for the statistics, but they appear nearly word for word on an anti-abortion website named BlackGenocide.com.
"I urge my friends and colleagues in the African-American community to be very, very careful about this legislation, because we're talking about African-American genocide," Castorina said.
Audible jeers and shocked gasps could be heard on the Assembly's live feed of the proceedings.
Assembly Democrats then staged a parliamentary protest, with lawmaker after lawmaker rising to ask Castorina to yield his time, as is allowed by Assembly rules. Each time, Castorina declined, but the repeated queries delayed his ability to speak.
"Respectfully, no," Castorina said repeatedly when asked to yield.
Assemblywoman Diana Richardson, D-Brooklyn, said she was offended as both an African-American and a woman.
After a lengthy debate, the bill ultimately passed by an 88-44 vote. It's not likely to receive a vote in the Senate, which is controlled by Republicans.

Stop spending a fixed 0.7 per cent slice of our national wealth on Foreign Aid

Despite spending cuts at home the Government is committed to hand over 0.7% of national income in overseas aid, regardless of need. The Mail on Sunday believes voters do not want this and instead, we should provide money only for truly deserving causes, on a case-by-case basis.

A bill passed in 2015 required the Government to spend a fixed 0.7% of gross national income on foreign aid. UK handouts will rise from current £12bn to £16bn by 2020. This is by far the highest rate of any G20 nation and is leading to huge waste and corruption. We believe this is the wrong approach because it fuels waste by focussing on targets, not outcomes. Foreign aid should provide money for the job, not jobs for the money.

The Government responded to this petition on Tuesday 12th April 2016
The UK's aid commitment means we can be proud to be a country that not only meets its responsibilities to the world's poorest, but in doing so best serves and protects its own security and interests.
The UK's commitments on overseas aid were part of the 2015 manifesto on which the government was elected. The government is keeping its promise to the electorate, tackling global challenges in the national interest.
Britain faces a simple choice: either we wait for the problems of the world to arrive on our doorstep, or we take action to tackle them at source.
UK aid, whether it is helping to prevent deadly diseases like Ebola from coming to the UK from West Africa, or enabling Syrian refugees and other would-be migrants to stay in their home region, is about creating a more stable and secure world.
Over the last five years, UK aid has been life-saving and life-changing for millions of the poorest people around the world. We have supported 11 million children through school. We have helped more than 60 million people get access to clean water, better sanitation and improved hygiene conditions. We are leading the global effort to save millions of girls from child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation.
UK aid is spent where it is most needed and is subject to rigorous internal and external checks and scrutiny at all stages. The UK's aid programmes are scrutinised by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact, the International Development Select Committee and Public Accounts Committee in Parliament, and the National Audit Office. This is in addition to internal monitoring and evaluation to ensure projects stay on track and deliver value for taxpayers' money.
The government has realigned the UK's aid strategy, cutting wasteful programmes and making sure spending is firmly in the UK's national interest. Alongside an increased defence budget and the UK's world class diplomatic service, our aid programme is helping to create a more prosperous and stable world in which the UK can stand tall and flourish.
Britain's aid strategy recognises that tackling poverty overseas means tackling the root causes of global problems that affect all of us, such as disease, migration, and terrorism. The Department for International Development is the UK's primary channel for aid, but to respond to the changing world, more aid will be administered by other government departments, such as the Home Office, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Department of Health, and Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, drawing on their complementary skills.
The government will invest more through its aid programme to tackle the causes of instability, insecurity and conflict, and to tackle crime and corruption. DFID is already working with the Metropolitan Police, National Crime Agency, and HMRC to recover funds stolen from developing countries, and help countries build proper tax systems and robust institutions so they can stand on their own two feet.
This is an approach that works; as well as delivering humanitarian aid to crisis zones and targeting the root causes of the migration crisis, it is increasing economic prospects in fragile states to help counter extremism, and helping build our future trading partners.

The raw data supporting the conclusions of this manuscript will be made available by the authors, without undue reservation, to any qualified researcher. Previous studies have shown that creativity is enhanced by a broad attentional scope, defined as an ability to utilize peripheral stimuli and process information globally. We propose that the reverse relationship also holds, and that breadth of attention also is a consequence of engaging in a creative activity. In Study 1, participants showed increased breadth of attention in a visual scanning task after performing a divergent thinking task as opposed to an analytic thinking task.

Dariusz K. Economics — prof. Jerzy Kisielnicki. Kulikova Russian Federation , Douglas E. Selvage United States of America. The original version of the journal is the printed version. Muslims in Warsaw. Fiszer Shaping and development of Polish-German relations in the years — An assessment attempt. Od Redakcji. Wyznawcy islamu w Warszawie. We are handing to our readers the third issue of our academic quarterly in which is extensive, very interesting and published entirely in English.
It contains as many as twelve valuable articles and two reviews. The presented quarterly should be of interest not only to social scientists, historians, economists but also specialists and experts, students, graduate students, teachers and journalists. We especially recommend it to politicians and decision makers whose wisdom, knowledge and decision-making skills largely determine the effectiveness of foreign policy and the role of each country — including Poland — in the international arena.
This volume contains a number of original scholarly papers devoted to current economic, financial, social, political and international problems with which the European Union and the whole world is struggling today. There are also several texts devoted to Poland, its internal and foreign policy.
This periodical shows how quickly today the situation on the international stage changes and that new social, political, economic and international phenomena and processes occur, which should be analysed by scholars and experts, as well as political elites in real time.
The presented issue of our quarterly, according to the previous practice and rules adopted by the editorial office, consists of two parts: the first one which is devoted to broadly understood economic issues, and the other pertaining to political issues and the international situation in Europe and in the world.
In the first part we are publishing four articles. Every health care system is characterized through the prism of how it fulfils three basic functions: financing, provision of services and regulations. According to the author, these three dimensions show the essential role of the state and the direction of its policy in different models.
The author proved that during this period working conditions in terms of accidents at work were not particularly improved. Work in Poland did not become safer. In the years — the number of accidents at work in general as well as the rates did not change. Another study in this part is an interesting article by Maciej D. The authors analyse here a few important problems faced by the trade union movement today, and which go beyond the traditional discussion on the role and importance of trade unions in the free market economy.
The author emphasizes here that Europe needs a common sense of security, a uniform perception of threats, and thus a joint risk assessments. In this regard, the European Union should create new forms a framework of intelligence cooperation, something like an intelligence agency, from services of which all its Members would benefit.
Unfortunately, as the author stresses, there is still no political will for this solution. It is devoted to significant problems, namely to peaceful and conciliatory activities of the Vatican in the international arena.
In international relations the Holy See functions using both classical diplomacy and so-called track two diplomacy. Its primary goal is to provide its followers with the possibility to freely practice their worship and to disseminate religious freedom in the world. The author writes here. As the title indicates, the aim of this article is to answer the questions regarding the situation of different churches and religious denominations in Romania. The authors show here the still progressing secularization in Romania, and on the other hand, an increase in religiosity among the citizens of this state.
The author writes, among others, that as a result of the immigration crisis Poland, following Western countries, moves towards fairly restrictive immigration policy, basically opposing the influx of Muslim immigrants. One of the main reasons of the expansion of jihadism in Egypt is — according to the author — frequent change of authorities and the general destabilization of the internal situation in the country after , i.
The main thesis of the article is the observation that in the years — in Polish-German relations had dealt with their difficult normalisation, continuation and at the same time significant changes, not always favourable for Poland, especially in the years — The author stresses here that the years —, and especially the years — were a time of great international events in Europe and in the world which had a major impact on foreign policies of both countries and on Polish-German relations.
Referring to the theories of alliances and. This article presents the main tasks which Poland should undertake to strengthen its security in the next 5—10 years. The presented issue of the quarterly — as always — closes with two reviews of the latest, very interesting and valuable scholarly books devoted to the EU policy towards China, and domestic and foreign policy of Japan, especially in the years —, that is, in the era of the rule of the Democratic Party of Japan DPJ. We wish all our readers interesting reading and we encourage everyone to cooperate with our editorial board and Lazarski University, one of the best universities in Poland.
It is not only a great award for us but also a great honour and a commitment to further academic, educational and organizational efforts. These three dimensions allow you to capture the fundamental role of the state and the direction of its policies in individual models.
Studies show, however, that over the last 40 years the models have become similar to one another. As a result, today it is hard to speak of pure — model — solutions because these are in fact hybrids based in varying degrees on individual basic versions2.
According to OECD, health systems in the world are subjected to similar pressure but the response to this pressure is varied because in each country public policy makers and stakeholders conduct various debates concerning the organisation and financing.
It is, however, only a certain cutting of very complex reality. Solving real problems must be preceded by an analysis of institutional issues in the context of the historical trajectory of development. Rothgang, H. The converging role of the state in OECD healthcare systems. In Rothgang, H. The state and healthcare, comparing OECD countries. London, p. As the OECD research shows3, citizens living in a centralised health care system or a model of national health systems are more likely to support greater government involvement in health care.
Those who live in an insurance system are more sceptical in this respect. It seems that this can be explained by reluctance of societies to experiment in the field of such important public policies. Hence the commitment to the existing model and the consent to deepening it, which is seen as less risky than the introduction of elements of a foreign system.
In the literature4 it is stressed that health care systems are complex adaptive systems CAS , which results in their significant unpredictability and resistance to changes introduced by means of classic authoritarian tools.
Kikuzawa, S. Similar pressures, different context: public attitudes toward government intervention for health care in 21 nations. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, vol.
Brest, A. Large-system transformation in health care: a realist review. The Milbank Quarterly, vol. The area of social policies is very little susceptible to quantification, or even measurement of the quality of services because, for instance, there is no unified method for measuring the results of clinical procedures, or even widely accepted definition of their quality.
What is more, universal social and health security is a rule in developed countries. The government must, therefore, on the one hand, enforce cost control and thinking oriented towards economic efficiency. On the other hand, it must take into account a key group — doctors — who passionately defend their professional autonomy.
Then there are patients — often represented by their attorneys — who demand maximum space to make decisions about the treatment and often in the areas that require professional competence5. The above diagram illustrates interactions that occur between the main actors in building a health care system ensuring the quality of services, albeit implemented with respect to economic efficiency.
In order to obtain satisfactory results, it is therefore necessary to find a balance of power between the three entities mentioned above. Reforms implemented in the spirit of governance focus primarily on strengthening the position of society which usually has been a too weak partner, in particular in relations with the administration acting in the field of the empire. This convention emphasises, however, also the participation of NGOs in co-management, which in the above diagram fit in the regions of its central point — a little closer to the public or the medical profession depending on the profile.
They can primarily play the role of a relay of information, an aggregate of public sentiment, a support system, or an arbitrator in emerging disputes. Their place would be, however, in principle outside the area defined as a formal management structure. Depending on the intensity of the stimuli — the health care system in the given country is more oriented to the needs of the patient or general notions of clinical effectiveness. At this point we should note that the above diagram shows that formal structures do not cover the entire space of interaction in this field.
They leave a lot of space for non-formal interactions which affect the quality of the system to a similar extent. Ergo: it is impossible to build an effective health care system only on the basis of formal actions. It is necessary to perceive real interactions in their whole complexity and to use methods of soft law or informal channels of communication and decision-making.
This, in turn, 5. Kodate, N. Events, public discourses and responsive government: quality assurance in health care in England, Sweden and Japan. Journal of Public Policy, no. Thus, an economic analysis of the law is a research perspective which was adopted here. This interdisciplinary convention assumes the treatment of the law just like any other object of research, which economics deals with, while recognizing its whole juridical complexity.
It should be emphasised, however, that the limitation to only such assumptions would be insufficient, because this study concerns the protection of human health and life and a decent existence, which often escape the economic quantification. Hence the need to supplement the discussion with the context of non-economic values, allowing us to take into account the impact of public policies that are analysed here on wider social reality.
The preparation of this text was preceded by conducting comparative research in the field of the law system normative acts, soft law in the area of health policy in selected developed countries in terms of the level of implementation of the demands of the concept of governance in a dynamic perspective, taking into account the current direction of changes and projected trends.
The conducted analysis of public policies will focus on those elements that allow for the fullest realisation of interactive management. In order to show the context, the discussed practices will be also assessed from the perspective of implementation of the demands of New Public Management, understood as a modern form of managerial approach to administration.
The central place in the analysis, however, will be occupied by the concept of governance good governing , the essence of which is to make decisions and take actions which are characterised by engaging all stakeholders, the rule of law, transparency, responding to social needs, striving for consensus, taking into account voices of minorities, efficiency, as well as broad responsibility towards society.
Eight countries characterised by high socio-economic. The group chosen in this way allows us to observe differences between various traditions, to indicate characteristic solutions, compare the operation of the most important mechanisms in order to evaluate individual institutions in order to identify good practices.
Only on this basis it is possible to correctly propose postulates de lege ferenda. Proposing such conclusions will be possible also because the analysis of health care and social systems of the above countries concerns not only the current state, but is made in a dynamic perspective, allowing us to observe the basic directions of reforms.
