Management is considered as a science by some management experts and some others take management as an art. This controversy has existed for a long time and still not solved.
However, many people disagree with him. So the definition of management whether it is a science or an art or a profession depends on the authors.
There are few fundamentals for management to become a science, an art, and a profession.
Management can be taken as science as it is a systemized branch of knowledge or principle which can be proved and is found out by continuous observation and verified experimentations. Management is not pure science but it is a social science as it deals with human beings and their behavior.
Management has various theories, concepts, principles, models, and techniques which help in systematic solution to an issue. Thus, management is a systemized body of knowledge.
The concepts and theories of management are true throughout the world. It is applicable and useful in every organization in any place. It may, however, vary in some exceptional situations.
Management also follows the principle of cause and effect relationship. When a certain management action is taken then it affects the organization in a certain manner. Hence, we can find management is based on cause and effect relationship.
The laws of management are derived from many observations and different experiments carried out in various organizations. So the theories of management are based on the findings and proofs of observation and experimentations.
Though all the results are not predictable, many predictions of future events can be forecasted because of the proven theories of management.
In the workplace, a manager has to make lots of decisions. Most of these decisions should be taken immediately when the problem arises. So, the experience of a manager helps them to make a practical decision. Thus, practical knowledge is an art which helps a manager to make a correct decision.
In an organization, a manager has to apply new ways and techniques to manage various people. Only through innovative concepts and creative thinking, a manager can be successful to manage his employees well.
If a manager is highly influential then he can motivate the employees to work harder for the attainment of goals. This suggests that personal qualities such as personality, physic, linguistic capabilities, etc. are necessary for a manager.
The practice is essential as it gives experience and makes a person more capable. So with regular practice, a manager is able to improve the grade of the action.
Management is an art which focuses on the attainment of the organizational goal in the most effective and efficient manner.
Management in today's world can be taken as a separate profession or occupation. In the past, there was no separation of ownership and management. Hence, owners themselves manage the people.
A profession should have a particular specialization in a particular field. One must possess a high level of knowledge and skills to practice a profession. Management is a separate discipline having a specialized and organized body of knowledge.
To be a certain professional there must be a process of formal training of education. One cannot practice the profession without any guidance or training. Similarly, management is taught and trained in various universities throughout the world. One needs to hold a certain degree and attain certain knowledge and thus may apply for a management post in an organization. However, there is no compulsion for a degree to get a job as a manager by the law.
A profession is always linked with society. A man cannot perform his task running away from society. So there are some social responsibilities that a professional must follow. One should charge money for the services they provide but a manager must also take care of all the social needs of the community and should contribute by creating utility for social welfare.
Any profession has a group or association who decide the rules and regulation for the profession in which they are engaged. The members of an association must follow the rules and regulation set by the association. This association safeguards their rights and promotes their common interests.
Any profession must be ethical to society. They must follow the rules and regulations and should be morally correct. They should not violate other's rights. So there must be a standard set of values such as honesty, integrity, and ethics.
Hence, we can conclude that management is multidisciplinary in nature.
An organization is composed up of employees having various skills and performing different tasks to achieve the predetermined organizational goals and objectives effectively and efficiently. So while managing the whole organization there exist a network of responsibility and accountability relationship between subordinate and their immediate supervisor. The immediate supervisor again has to be accountable to the supreme manager. And in this way, there are people working together in one organization but with a different designation from top to lower level.
They are the starters and promoters of the organization.
Formulation of long-term plans, policies and strategies and set objectives of the organization.
Organizes various departments and divisions in the organizational structure to implement the plans and policies.
Co-ordinates the human resources with the other factors of production for efficiency.
Reviews the work of all the departments and takes the necessary steps to achieve higher efficiency.
Lead the organization and directs the overall activities to achieve the desired output.
Links and communicates the organization with the external environment.
Provides guidelines to middle level management.
Establishes a relationship between the lower level and top-level management.
Implementation of plans, policies, and strategies designed by top level management.
They design the organizational structure of their related departments, sections, branches, and strategic business units.
They recruit and train the employees to get into various departments.
They provide the guidelines to the lower level managers.
They transfer the problems and feedbacks to the top level management.
They motivate, supervise and lead the operating level managers to achieve higher productivity.
They coordinate with other departments of the organization.
Leads and directs the workers to perform the daily activities of the organization.
Supervises and controls the work of the workers to get higher efficiency.
Arranges the human resources and other resources to perform the job.
Assign tasks and work to the workers and guide them by providing goals.
Establishes a relationship between middle-level management and the workers.
Transports the suggestions and feedbacks to middle-level management.
Co-ordinates the labor and maintains discipline among the workers.

Management is a science as it is a systemized branch of knowledge or principle which can be proved and is found out by continuous observation and verified experimentations.
Management is an art as it is the skill and art of a manager on how they are able to manage the people and resources to complete the task and attain the goals.
Management is a profession as it has a huge scope in every field in the world today.
Three levels of management are: top level, middle level and lower level management.
Explain management as a science.
The systematic body of knowledge: Management has various theories, concepts, principles, models and techniques which help in systematic solution to an issue. Thus, Management is a systemized body of knowledge.
Universally applicable: The concepts and theories of Management are true throughout the world. Principle of the division of work, the unity of command, the unity of direction etc are accepted all over the world. This universal acceptability makes management as a science.
Cause and effect relationship: Management also follows the principle of cause and effect relationship. When a certain Management action is taken then it affects the organization in a certain manner. For example, motivated employee is more efficient than a unmotivated employee.
Observation and Experiment: The laws of Management are derived from many observations and different experiments carried out in various organizations. So the theories of Management are based on the findings and proofs of Observation and Experimentations.
Predictability: The result of the management principles which are based on scientific observation and investigation is eaxct, definite and predictable.
Explain management as an art.
Practical Knowledge: In a workplace, a manager has to make lots of decisions. So Experience of a manager helps the manager to make a practical decision. Thus, practical knowledge is an art which helps a manager to make a correct decision.
Creativity: In an organization, a manager has to use his personal imagination, creativity and intelligence to become a sucessful executive. Only through innovative concepts and creative thinking a manager can be successful to manage his employees well.
Personal Qualities: If a Manager is highly influential then he can motivate the employees to work harder for the attainment of goals. This suggests that personal qualities such as personality, physic, linguistic capabilities etc. are necessary for a manager.
Betterment through Practice: "Practice makes a man perfect" is the old statement applied by management. Managerial efficiency is developed through practice. Thus, management needs regular practice for efficient work performance.
Result-oriented: Management is an art which focuses on the attainment of the organizational goal in the most effective and efficient manner.
Justify management as a profession.
Specialized knowledge: A profession should have a peculiar specialization in a particular field. An individual cannot effectively and efficiently manage the affair of business unless he has special ability and aptitude for work. Management is a separate discipline having a specialized and organized body of knowledge.
Formal education and training: In order to be professional managers, formal education and training is necessary. One cannot practice the profession without any guidance or training. Similarly, management is taught and trained in various universities throughout the world. One need to holds a certain degree and attain certain knowledge and thus may apply for management post in an organization. However, there is no compulsion for a degree to get a job as a manager by the law.
Social Responsibility: A profession is always linked with society. A man cannot perform his task running away from the society. Managers have social obligation not only towards the shareholders but also to the customers, creditors and the government. A manager works not only for fee but also to provide services to the society.
Professional Association: Any profession has a group or association who decide the rules and regulation for the profession they are engaged. The members of an association must follow the rules and regulation set by the association. This association safeguards their rights and promotes their common interests.
Code of conduct: Any profession must be ethical to the society. They must follow the rules and regulations and should be morally correct. They should not violate other's rights. So there must be a standard set of values such as honesty, integrity, and ethics.

Q: MS Excel 2013 - Function based upon different cell values I am trying to use an error checking argument.  I want to use the values of two cells (in this case H19 and Q19) to determine a pass or fail argument.  The issue is that it is possible for two values to end up with a pass conclusion for cell Q19 ("A40" or "A41") when compared to H19.
Here is a working function with only a value of "A40" in cell "Q19":
`=IF(ISNUMBER(VALUE(LEFT(A19,2))),IF(AND(LEFT(B19,1)="A",H19<>"oor",Q19<>"A40"),"Fail",IF(AND(LEFT(B19,1)<>"a",H19<>"OOR",Q19<>"A40"),"Fail",IF(H19="OOR",IF(LEFT(Q19,1)="A","Fail","Pass"),IF(LEFT(Q19,1)<>"A","Fail","Pass")))),"")`

I want to expand this to include the new parameters of either "A40" or "A41" being in cell "Q19", similar to this:
`=IF(ISNUMBER(VALUE(LEFT(A19,2))),IF(AND(LEFT(B19,1)="A",H19<>"oor",Q19<>"A40"),"Fail",IF(AND(LEFT(B19,1)<>"a",H19<>"OOR",Q19<>"A40"),"Fail",IF(AND(LEFT(B19,1)="A",H19<>"oor",Q19<>"A41"),"Fail",IF(AND(LEFT(B19,1)<>"a",H19<>"OOR",Q19<>"A41"),"Fail",IF(H19="OOR",IF(LEFT(Q19,1)="A","Fail","Pass"),IF(LEFT(Q19,1)<>"A","Fail","Pass")))))),"")`

Here is a screenshot from the spreadsheet to hopefully clarify it a little:

A: (Please refer to revision below)
Is this what you are trying to achieve?
=IF(ISNUMBER(VALUE(LEFT(A19,2))),IF(AND(UPPER(LEFT(B19,1))="A",UPPER(H19)="OOR",OR(UPPER(Q19)="A40",UPPER(Q19)="A41")),"Pass","Fail"),"")

EDIT
Following the discussion in the comments, the formula provided by @Bandersnatch should fulfil your requirements:
=IF(ISNUMBER(VALUE(LEFT(A19,2))),IF(AND(LEFT(B19,1)="A",H19<>"oor",OR(Q19="A40",Q19="A41")),"Pass","Fail"),"")

Observe:
(Click on the image to view at full resolution)

Note that for validation:

*

*The first two characters of A19 must be numerical (e.g. 12ABC)

*The first character of cell B19 must be A (e.g. A12)

*H19 must be anything other than OOR (case-insensitive)

*Q19 must be either A40 or A41 (case-insensitive)

Time to clean any dust and debris from the tops of the slide outs. While the slide is in make sure to clean the areas of the slide out that go out. It is a very over looked area that picks up everything from dust to pine needles to toys. Take it from Tyler. He has pulled everything from toy motorcycles to hair brushes to a customer's wallet that he thought he let at a truck stop.
After a thorough cleaning make sure it is completely dry!
…on the seal prevents the seal from grabbing as the slide deploys and pull the seal off and turning a camping trip into a costly and time consuming fix to replace your seal.
For the outside of the slide follow this great video from the www.thervgeeks.com for applying the powder to the exterior of the seals without having to remove the slide toppers.
This is also a good time to make sure your slide toppers are looking good and the hardware in secure. As a slide topper is the only movable part attached to the exterior of the coach and with all moving parts things can become loss. Check the screws! Everything from the tension bars to the anti-bellow devices.
This will save the head ache down the road!

Hull City in talks with Max Clark over a new deal
The 21-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season

Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from HullLive - Hull City
Hull City are currently negotiating a new contract with homegrown youngster Max Clark.
Fresh from tying their most promising prospect and the Championship's top scorer, Jarrod Bowen down to a new and improved three-year deal the club have now switched their attentions to Clark.
The 21-year-old has had an unexpectedly large role to play this season, stepping at left-back for the first five games of the Championship season before making way for the more natural fullback Stephen Kingsley upon the Scot's arrival from Swansea City.
Nevertheless, Clark is expected to return to the starting line-up once more this Saturday in order to face Birmingham City after Kingsley picked up an adductor problem in the defeat to Preston North End.
LIVE Hull City news and rumours as Leonid Slutsky holds press conference ahead of Birmingham City
The former Malet Lambert school pupil is one of a host of players who are out of contract at the end of the season and therefore Leonid Slutsky is hopeful the club can persuade a second young player to sign a new contract.
"The club are speaking with his agent about signing a new contract," the head coach said. "I don't know how close it is because I don't participate. It is the owner who speaks with his agent but I think it is a similar situation to Jarrod.
"Max is from the academy and he has practise now. I think if the player understand and has a good agent I think no problem. A lot of young players now have a possibility to develop and play in the starting XI."
Hull City boss Leonid Slutsky hopeful of welcoming back host of players from injury after international break
The club are perhaps still sore from having promising youngster Josh Tymon ripped from their grasps over the summer.
The youngster made appearances for the Tigers in the Premier League last season but following relegation they were powerless to prevent Tymon leaving to join Stoke City for a fee still to be decided by tribunal.
Slutsky though tried to persuade Tymon over summer that he would be best off staying at the KCOM Stadium.
"The situation with Tymon was before I came to club," Slutsky added. "But I know about him, I try to speak with him and I called him sometimes. But I think he had a decision and when I came it was like a leaving party, so it was difficult to change something."

Leveling up the barcade: A visit to Chicago's Pac-Man themed Level 257
Ars beta tests Namco's new restaurant/ arcade/bowling alley in suburban Chicago.
Eric Bangeman - Feb 26, 2015 12:00 pm UTC
Video of Level 257
Nostalgia is a powerful thing. It's the driving force behind the continued existence of '50s radio stations, drive-ins, and other monuments to Baby Boomers. But as Gen Xers like me find ourselves locking eyes with the unblinking gaze of middle age, nostalgia has an ever-growing hold on us as well.
The surprising, stealth rebirth of the American arcade
A visual tour of the United States' biggest video arcade
Some of that I could live without—I'd rather not hear Human League's "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" while I'm grocery shopping. But nostalgia does have one upside: the revival of the arcade. I spent much of the early '80s dropping quarter after quarter into the likes of Gorf, Crazy Climber, Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac-Man, Moon Cresta, and many others. And today in the mid-2010s of Chicagoland, I can revisit my misspent youth by dropping by Wicker Park barcade Emporium or Brookfield's massive Galloping Ghost Arcade. And now there's a third arcade-themed destination around these parts: Namco's Level 257.
Namco describes Level 257 as "a brand new restaurant and entertainment destination inspired by Pac-Man." With the restaurant opening up for "beta testing" this week in advance of the grand opening in mid-March, I grabbed my 15-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son (who has gladly accompanied me on visits to Galloping Ghost), and we drove out to the sprawling Woodfield Mall in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg.
Level 257 is nestled into a 40,000-square-foot corner of the mall right next to Sears and just a couple of doors down from Rainforest Café. We could see the brightly colored sign heralding its presence from the frontage road as we exited the Eisenhower Expressway. Parking was plentiful nearby because the restaurant was still in the "soft open" phase (and because who wants to go to Sears anyways), so we found a spot fairly close to the door and made our way in.
We were greeted by a grinning Pac-Man statue standing atop his four ghost tormentors giving us a winking smile and a thumbs up. Immediately on our left was the gift shop filled with all things Pac-Man. And to the right were the stairs, beckoning us upwards and into the heart of Namco's Pac-Man themed extravaganza.
Level 257 is on the east side of Woodfield Mall, right next to Sears.

The meatballs didn't last long.
Filet Mig-Nom with "DK" barrel potato. It was tasty.
The hostess stand was manned by four friendly staffers and flanked by two retro-looking lamps with stands containing four Pac-Man bowling balls. At either end of the space, to the far left and far right, were two eight-lane bowling alleys. Straight ahead was an elevated dining room with a massive bar and "wine station" at the back. The vintage arcade machines were off to the left in the "Lost and Found" area, so we grabbed a table near another bar, right in front of the Pac-Man Battle Royale multiplayer extravaganza.
The ambience and decor were nice and eclectic. This is a distant, upscale cousin to Dave and Buster's with superior food, more bowling lanes, and absolutely no Skee-Ball. The space is very open and nicely decorated with high ceilings showing off the ductwork and little homages to Pac-Man scattered throughout. The wall near us was decorated with a variety of bowling bags and shoes, but a display case dividing the dining area from the arcade games is filled with all manner of old Pac-Man merchandise.
Previous visits to Dave & Buster's and Gameworks had me conditioned to expect two things at Level 257: a horrible cacophony of noise consisting of loud music, ringing bells, and game noises... along with really subpar food. Thankfully, I was surprised on both counts at Level 257. The music was audible, but not loud enough to make conversation difficult. Instead of a thumping bass and near-constant array of current Top 40, I remember hearing Hall & Oates, Florence & the Machine, and David Bowie at different points throughout the evening.
The menu was equally unexpected. The waiter was friendly and helpful, taking our orders on a customized tablet that transmitted things directly to the kitchen. We started off with the Hand-Crafted Meatballs: "hand-formed beef & pork meatballs, spicy tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, focaccia" for $11. They lasted about two minutes once they hit the table. For the entrée, I went with Fennel Sausage Pizza with homemade spicy fennel seed pork sausage, ricotta cheese, and shaved red onion cooked in a wood-fired oven ($15). The daughter chose the $21 Lobster Mac & Cheese, which was the best either of us have ever had, while the son went with the Filet Mig-Nom with Donkey Kong barrel potato, balsamic cipollini, and green beans ($34).
The waiter made a point of bragging about the locally sourced food and the chefs who were doing great things with said food. He had a point: all three entrées were delicious. Other highlights from the menu included Pinky's Baked Lasagna, Clyde's Chopped Wedge salad, a Turkey Bahn Mi sandwich, and I Can't Believe It's Not Steak: curry grilled cauliflower, roasted eggplant puree, herbed pastina, and sauce vert.
The cocktail menu was impressive too. I thought about the Split Screen (vodka, St. Germain, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and bitters) or a Game Over (tequila, chili liqueur, vanilla liqueur, and fresh strawberries) but ended up going with a cider. There are also a couple of fully stocked bars with a selection of locally brewed beers, including my favorite IPA from Revolution Brewing company. Got room for dessert? Order up some Chocolate "Power Pellets": bittersweet chocolate-filled doughnut holes, coffee anglaise, and powdered sugar or the Mini Fried Cherry Pies with spiced cherry filling, almond sugar, and salted caramel ice cream.
Needless to say—even if you don't care a whit about gaming, bowling, or ping-pong, the menu is compelling on its own.

And of course, the licensed Milton-Bradley board game
Dinner finished, it was time for business—some gaming. Unlike the Galloping Ghost, where $15 gets you unlimited access to every machine until the arcade closes; or the Emporium barcade, where you need to purchase tokens, Level 257 uses NFC cards for gaming. There are a couple of kiosks where you can insert cash or swipe a credit card to get a reloadable Level Up card. $15 gets you one hour of gaming per card, while $25 buys you two hours. You'll want to get a card for each person in your party—playing a two-player game requires two separate cards. And sharing is difficult, too: once you wave a card in front of a machine to begin a game, that card is locked for a couple of minutes, preventing anyone else from using it.
The arcade selection was modest, but weighted heavily in the direction of early-'80s hits. While you won't find Defender: Stargate, Berzerk, or Crazy Climber there, you will be able to play Tempest, Dig-Dug, Donkey Kong, Qix, Asteroids, Space Invaders, and Q*bert. There are also a handful of updated cocktail table games, including three that let you choose from any of 20 titles like Galaga '88, Rally X, and Xevious.
On the other side of the wall where the classic machines were lined up is a whole other gaming room. There are a couple of air hockey tables, four pop-a-shot machines, a few Super Mario Kart machines, the Star Wars Trilogy arcade game, and a first-person flight combat simulator called Dome Screen Dogfight, which was a big hit with the son. And if you want some real classic gaming, there's also a shelf stocked with board games like Risk, Scrabble, Battleship, Operation, and more.
Ten classic games you can actually beat, but probably won't
Off on its lonesome against a black-painted wall sat a game cabinet I wasn't familiar with: Level 255. Upon further investigation, it became clear: it's Pac-Man, starting at level 255. I waved my card, was given five lives, and started playing. On my fourth life, I cleared the maze and was transported to the fabled level 256 of Pac-Man, a kill-screen where half the screen is the regular maze while the other half is filled with random characters (you can see a bit of footage in the video above). The kill screen owes its existence to the fact that the level counter is 8-bit, therefore maxing out at 255. The matte black wall it stood against was embellished, a gloss-black representation of the level 256 screen. One manager told me it took the artist a week to complete it.
Apparently, once you clear level 256, you're transported to a Pac-Man themed eatery.
If video games aren't your thing, there are a couple of ping-pong tables on the other side of the restaurant. Past those, and flush with the end of one of the two eight-lane bowling alleys, are five lonely pinball machines. Naturally, one of them is Pac-Man, flanked by The Addams Family and Twilight Zone, along with Gorgar and Black Knight. I took my revenge on the daughter at ping-pong, as she had bested me at air hockey, 7-6. Later, I summoned up enough muscle memory from college intramural basketball to destroy both the daughter and son at Pop-A-Shot.
If bowling's your thing, Level 257 has you covered as well. All 16 lanes feature full food and beverage service, shoe delivery, and fully computerized scoring. The weights on the bowling ball are even rendered in a pixelated, 8-bit-styled font.
On your way out...
If a Pac-Man logo can be slapped on it, it's probably in Level 257's gift shop.
Apparently, Pac-Man bluetooth speakers actually exist.
Will this Pac-Man cutting board show up on wedding registries?
Namco console games in the gift shop.
Power up with Pac-Man Bonus Fruit Energy Drink.
A selection of Gundam model kits.
The RX-78-2 Gundam E.S.F.S. Prototype Close-Combat Mobile Suit.
A $100 Pac-Man handbag for the ladies.
Pac-Man plushes abound.
You can be Blinky.
You can do shots from a Pac-Man shot glass while you play Pac-Man.
After dinner, exploration, and an hour of gaming, it was time to get the check and head home. (After all, it was a school night.) Our waiter showed us our bill on his tablet, I approved it and hit the 20 percent tip button (other options were 10 percent, 15 percent, and custom). He took my credit card, scanned it right there, entered my e-mail address, and within a minute, I had a receipt in my inbox.
Of course, no visit to a themed eatery is complete without a visit to the gift shop. The Level 257 gift shop is stocked with all things Pac-Man. There were plushes, Pac-Man themed candy, Pac-Man themed shot glasses, Pac-Man themed t-shirts, and even a Pac-Man themed cutting board (why can't chopping vegetables be an exercise in nostalgia, too?)
There were also a couple of end caps with Namco games for the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360. On the shelves between the end caps was a small selection of Gundam Model Kits. Dead tired from all of the gaming and bowling? Grab a Pac-Man Bonus Fruit energy drink to guzzle on the drive home. Want to write about your visit? Record your thoughts in a Level 257 notebook. Winter temperatures getting to you? Steel yourself against the bitter Midwestern cold with a Pac-Man toque. Worried your iPhone might slip your cold-numbed fingers? Protect it with a Pac-Man case. And once spring finally does arrive to these frozen suburbs, you can venture out onto the links and drive your Pac-Man logo golf balls down the fairway while wearing a Pac-Man golf shirt.
All told, I spent $175 on food, drinks, dessert, and gaming (and a $3 Pac-Man plush for Deputy Editor Nate Anderson). It was more expensive than I anticipated, and, after having drunk deeply from Galloping Ghost's all-you-can-play gaming well, I found the $15 per hour per person set-up to be a poor value by comparison (I did get five lives to start Tempest, and the game was set to dish out bonus lives every 10,000 points). Bowling is $5 per game with a $4 shoe rental per person. My pint of Seattle Cider was $6.50. Pizzas range from $12 to $15 and entrées from $13 to $34. In short, things can get expensive here, very quickly.
On the other hand, the food was excellent, the service was great, and we had a blast. There is enough variety in the video games to appeal both to kids and those old enough to remember the original arcade boom. If you're looking for a full-scale immersion into the '80s arcade scene, there are places better suited for that, at least in the Chicago area. But if you're after good food, good drink, and good fun—and you don't mind paying for the experience—Level 257 certainly has enough to recommend it.

Paul cared deeply for the Ephesian church. He also understood the struggles & opposition this little church faced living in 1st Century New Orleans city much like . Perhaps they were just worn out in the battle. Maybe Paul had heard reports that indicated they had begun to lose their moorings. Perhaps he could sense that they were living more out of Principle than Presence .
Take time today to pray Paul's prayer for someone else.
Step 1: Ask the Lord for the name of the person to pray for.
Step 2: Ask God to show you what to pray for that person.
do they need wisdom? what about?
are they making wrong decision? Do they need discernment about good vs bad choices?
are they struggling with being chosen, loved or adopted? Why?
is there darkness, discouragement or depression in their lives?
Step 3: Thank God that He has heard your prayers.
Step 4: Ask the Lord if there is anything else he wants you to do.
Step 5: Record your prayer experience in your journal.
Your posts are very personal.
I hope you keep going with the Challenge.

Police arrest 13 over demo at Nima
by Classified
Police have arrested 13 people in connection with unauthorised demonstration in Accra's suburb of Nima.
Their action to demonstrate against the UNI-PASS customs deal was considered a clear breach of the public gatherings ban.
The pocket of demonstrators appeared to have been hired by Westblue one the two companies whose trade facilitation contract has been abrogated and replaced with UNI-PASS solution from South Korea.
Among the persons arrested are the National Chairman of an amorphous group leading the demo, Coalition of National Zongo Political Groupings, Alhaji Yahaya Alhassan, two journalists and two soldiers.
The journalists who could not identified themselves were later granted bail while the military police took over the case of the two soldiers.
They were bundled into police pick-ups and transported to the Accra Regional Police command.
They had wielded placards some of which read "Zongo United For West Blue," "Decline West Blue Is Attack On Womanhood."
Some of the demonstrators were seen wearing face masks as precautionary measures for coronavirus, with some holding the Ghana flag.
The Coalition had issued a statement, describing the move as a day of shame for business in Ghana.
Members of the Coalition are at a lost as to why the Akufo-Addo's administration which is championing Ghana Beyond Aid is terminating West Blue's contract which is owned by a Ghanaian woman in favor of UNIPASS which is a South Korean company.
But the police said the group breached the social gatherings ban as well as public procession with no notification.
The demonstrators under the law ought to have given the police five working days notice.
Some of the demonstrators upon seeing the police dropped their placards and took to their heels.
According to the Accra Regional Police Operation Commander, ACP Kwesi Ofori those arrested will be processed for court.
The police, DGN Online learnt pitched camp at Nima at 5am after learning about the impending demonstrations.
They blocked the road from the Ring Road to the Nima roundabout but that did not deter the demonstrators leading to their arrest.

In the lead up to summer and the season of Less is Best (Exhibit A. Miss Rosie, above), I like to have a bit of a glow on and have become quite the fake bake connoisseur. If you're a novice however – or like a lighter touch – a great option is using a gradual tanning product, and there are some stellar examples out there on the market.
A gradual tanning product is a great way to extend the life of your spray tan and because you get a built in moisturiser you just pop it on after your shower and you are done. It's incredibly easy to add to your daily routine, and once you get into the habit, you'll be seriously hooked.
In the past I've raved about the versions by Dove (save) and St. Tropez (splurge), but lately I've been falling in love with the all-new formula from Dr. LeWinn's.
A little lighter than several other versions that I've tried, this little pearler is designed for post-sun exposure and also works really well with pre-applied fake tan. It is formulated to soothe skin after being in the sun and has a silky smooth consistency as well as giving subtle colour and a lovely glow. Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Shea butter are in there to rehydrate and cool dry skin, so it's perfect after a day at the beach when your skin really feels like a night cool drink of water.

How good did he strike it Bruce?
I have done a few demo days for him at his corporate golf days, top bloke.
I never really got to see the best of him Maxx although worked for him in about maybe 15 - 18 tournaments in 1973 and 1974 before we parted ways. That is the story - Bob kind of had the last laugh. Always liked him though and yes was a fabulous long iron player.
He still struck it alright last year when I played with him. Haven't seen him around the club lately though, hopefully he's still travelling alright.
Is he still a full member or just drop in and play occasionally as a former icon of the club?
Simon said he did not have a caddy the following week but was unsure if he could afford a regular tour caddy and would think it over.
Edited by PerryGroves, 06 September 2016 - 05:47 AM.
Nice find Perry on the Paul Stevens story. Yes he would sing at night and caddy during the day sometimes.

Abolition Institute and others call upon United Nations to act on Mauritanian human rights issues:
To the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Slavery,
To the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and related Intolerance,
To the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders,
To the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association,
We, international organizations supporting the anti-slavery movement in Mauritania, are writing to call for concerted action from the UN human rights community after the conviction of three Mauritanian human rights activists was upheld on appeal on August 20, 2015. Biram Dah Abeid, Brahim Bilal Ramdhane (President and Vice-President of the Initiative for the Resurgence of the Abolitionist Movement) and Djiby Sow (President of Kawtal) were initially convicted on January 15, 2015, after leading a peaceful campaign against slavery and for land reform in favour of disadvantaged groups in Mauritania. Their 'crimes' were "inciting rebellion", "disobeying the orders of the authorities" and (for IRA) "belonging to an illegal organization". Their conviction prompted a national and global outcry; one response was an Avaaz petition signed by nearly one million people from around the world.
Within two months the activists were transferred to an isolated unit of a prison in the remote town of Aleg, where their appeal was held. This move was in conflict with normal legal procedures according to which the imprisonment and appeal should have been held in Nouakchott, which led the activists to regard their detention in Aleg as 'arbitrary' and to boycott the appeal in protest.
We find it deeply disturbing that the Mauritanian authorities would choose to prosecute these innocent defenders of human rights, in flagrant violation of their rights to freedom of assembly and association, simply for their action against Mauritania's deeply-rooted slavery system. Indeed, the Government should be actively engaged in this vital work, facilitating and supporting the role of civil society. It has instead chosen to target and punish civil society leaders, while slave-owners continue to enjoy total impunity. Mauritania's array of measures to combat slavery, including a new anti-slavery law adopted just last week, has been revealed once again to be little more than a smokescreen to disguise the Government's continued lack of action or will to end the practice.
The testimonies of people who have escaped slavery bear witness to systematic abuse, forced labour and the exercise of full ownership rights over them from birth. Yet despite an overwhelming body of evidence of the practice and at least 30 slavery cases before the courts, the Government continues to deny the existence of the slavery system, acknowledging only that the 'legacy' of the practice remains. A culture of denial and cover-up pervades Mauritania's judicial system: the only slave-owner ever prosecuted for the crime (in 2011) was released on bail pending his appeal, which has never taken place. It is also deeply ironic that this slave-owner had received a prison sentence of just two years – the same sentence that the activists are now enduring for their work to combat slavery practices.
We call on you to recognise that no anti-slavery initiative from the Mauritanian government can be taken seriously as long as leaders in the anti-slavery movement continue to face this level of persecution for their work. We respectfully request that you make every effort to increase pressure on the Mauritanian authorities to cease its campaign against the activists and uphold their rights. We, the undersigned organisations, all actively supporting the anti-slavery movement in Mauritania, are at your disposal to provide any support or information to facilitate your efforts.

SG-HK Travel Bubble to Formally Begin Next Month
Singapore's Transport Minister Ong Ye Ku and Hong Kong's Commerce Secretary Edward Yau announced that the scheme will begin with one flight a day into each city, with up to 200 travellers on each flight, the Travel Weekly Asia reported.
Those who wish to travel from either city must test negative for COVID-19 before departure and on arrival. Moreover, Hong Kong residents can only fly to Singapore at least 14 days after they have had two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Meanwhile, travellers on the route – which attracted 15-20 flights a day each way before the coronavirus – won't have to quarantine and there will be no restrictions on the purpose of travel.
The state representatives noted, however, that if the seven-day moving average of the daily number of unlinked local COVID-19 cases is more than five for either Singapore or Hong Kong, the scheme will need to be held off.
Yau shared: "The re-launch … signifies that gradual resumption of cross-border travel is achievable through mutual collaborations among different places."
In line with this, the two Asian countries are also communicating with places including New Zealand and Australia for similar travel bubbles. The scheme was made possible as the two Asian cities have brought the local virus situation largely under control compared with other developed cities.

Local Authorities: Use LeaveHomeSafe App When Dining Out in HK


Vending machines have evolved way past the halcyon days of Cool Ranch Doritos and Diet Cherry Sprite. Thanks to a new partnership between Ford and Alibaba, car shoppers in China can now test drive a Ford vehicle dispensed straight out of a vending machine, no exact change required.
The Super Test-Drive Center in Guangzhou, China, is stocked with 42 Fords, from Mustangs and Mondeos to Explorers. Even better, according to Engadget, there's no salesperson trying to up-sell you. Instead, anyone interested in a test simply needs to sign up with Alibaba's Tmall app, snap a selfie, and wait for the vending machine to spit out their brand-new Fords. Unfortunately, the vending machine won't be around forever. According to Gasgoo, the project will end on April 23.
While the vending machine is headline-grabbing, Fords doesn't even rank in the top seven the most interesting things you can get out of a vending machine. How can a Ford and Alibaba compete with the vending machines that dispense any of these items?

John Thms. Williams (1929-2018)
John Thomas Williams, a spirited jazz pianist strongly influenced by Bud Powell and Horace Silver who recorded with the Stan Getz Quintet in the early 1950s before recording his two sole leadership albums for EmArcy in 1954 and '55, died on December 15. He was 89.
Born in Windsor, Vt., Williams began as a church organist. In the mid-1940s, he joined the regional band of jazz violinist Mal Hallett, which brought him to New York. By the late 1940s, Williams was playing in saxophonist Johnny Bothwell's band. In 1951 and '52, he played baritone horn in an Army band during the Korean War. Discharged in 1953, Williams attended the Manhattan School of Music for a semester before touring and recording with Getz on his early Clef and Norgran recordings with trombonist Bob Brookmeyer. [Photo above, from left, of Bob Brookmeyer, Stan Getz, Frank Isola, John Williams and Teddy Kotick in 1953]
Williams also played piano on key recordings led by Med Flory, Nick Travis, Bill De Arango, Charlie Mariano and Cannonball Adderley, among others. But Williams was probably best known for his trio recordings as a leader on EmArcy. Today, these can be found on a single release here. Starting in the 1960s, Williams became a banker and eventually was named a city commissioner in Hollywood, Fla., before recording two final albums in the 1990s.

Fired SpaceX employees accuse company of violating labor law

Several SpaceX employees who were fired after circulating an open letter calling out CEO Elon Musk's behavior have filed a complaint accusing the company of violating labor laws.

Several SpaceX employees who were fired after circulating an open letter calling out CEO Elon Musk's behavior have filed a complaint accusing the company of violating labor laws.
The complaint, made Wednesday to the National Labor Relations Board, details the aftermath of what allegedly happened inside SpaceX after employees circulated the letter in June, which, among other things, called on executives to condemn Musk's public behavior on Twitter—including making light of allegations he sexually harassed a flight attendant—and hold everyone accountable for unacceptable conduct.
The letter was sent weeks after a media report surfaced that Musk paid $250,000 to the flight attendant to quash a potential sexual harassment lawsuit against him. The billionaire has denied the allegations.
Employees in their letter urged SpaceX to uniformly enforce its policy against unacceptable behavior and commit to a transparent process for responses to claims of misconduct. A day later, Paige Holland-Thielen and four other employees who participated in organizing the letter were fired, according to the filing, which was made by Holland-Thielen to a regional NLRB office in California. Four additional employees were fired weeks later for their involvement in the letter.
A company spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and is currently running Twitter, prefers to do things his own way even if that means running afoul of rules and regulations. He's currently in a defiant fight with Civil Rights department, a California regulator that is suing Tesla for rampant racial discrimination.
Some view Musk's management style as autocratic and demanding, as evidenced by a recent email he sent to Twitter staff giving them until Thursday evening to decide whether they want to remain a part of the business. Musk wrote that employees "will need to be extremely hardcore" to build "a breakthrough Twitter 2.0″ and that long hours at high intensity will be needed for success.
A number of engineers also said on Twitter they were fired last week after saying something critical of Musk, either publicly on Twitter or on an internal messaging board for Twitter employees.
In a statement, Holland-Thielen said as a woman engineer at SpaceX, she experienced "deep cultural problems" and comforted colleagues who had experienced similar issues.
"It was clear that this culture was created from the top level," she said.
Still, she said part of what she liked about the company was that any person could escalate issues to leadership and be taken seriously.
"We drafted the letter to communicate to the executive staff on their terms and show how their lack of action created tangible barriers to the long term success of the mission," Holland-Thielen said. "We never imagined that SpaceX would fire us for trying to help the company succeed."
The firings coincide with Musk's $44 billion buyout of Twitter. Around the same time, the billionaire used a sexual term to make fun of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates' belly and also posted a poop emoji during an online discussion with then-Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal.
After terminating the first set of employees, SpaceX allegedly interrogated dozens of others over the next two months in private meetings, telling them they couldn't disclose those conversations to anyone else due to attorney-client privilege, according to the complaint. Four additional employees who helped draft or share the letter were fired in July and August, the filing said, adding up to nine terminations in total.
"Management used this 'ends justifies the means' philosophy to turn a blind eye to the ongoing mistreatment, harassment, and abuse reported by my colleagues, much of which was directly encouraged and inspired by the words and actions of the CEO," said Tom Moline, who was also fired from SpaceX after organizing the letter.
Jeffery Pfeffer, a professor who specializes in organizational behavior at Stanford University's business school, said that the allegations were hardly a surprise given Musk's leadership style at Twitter. Musk's success at companies like Tesla and SpaceX have created what he labeled as hubris under the false notion that it was "all about individual genius."
"Powerful people get to break the rules. They don't think they are bound by the same conventions as other people," Pfeffer said, criticizing Musk's behavior. He said it showed the arrogance of Musk, one of the world's richest men: "Why would he think he is a mere mortal?"

It hurt to compare Pawan Kalyan like that.. It might have disappointed them: MP Raghurama
byThe News Glory
MP Raghurama Krishnaraju said that he agrees with the comments made by Janasena Party leader Pawan Kalayan. He said that Pawan Kalyan's comparison of his party with a terrorist organization hurt him.. If we look at the comments made by the brother of an MLA from his party against former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and TDP National General Secretary Nara Lokesh, it seems that Pawan Kalyan's comments are correct. He said that the MLA's brother's comments that they are the ones who would wake up Chandrababu in the past and now if they want to wake up Lokesh, are close to the comments made by the representatives of terrorist organizations. He said that there is nothing wrong in Pawan Kalyan's comments.
Pawan Kalyan's comments that he does not need anyone's permission to fight against the government have stolen his heart. He said that it is ridiculous that some leaders have asked for a road map and Google map. He recalled that the central BJP leadership behaved very politely with Pawan Kalyan. Prime Minister Modi also allotted time for 40 minutes and discussed with him. Pawan Kalyan's response to Chief Minister Jagan's comparison of Janasena as a rowdy sena was appreciated. Pawan Kalyan is a leader of all communities.
Raghurama said that the visits of former Chief Minister Chandrababu are getting unexpected response from people. During Chandrababu's visit to Kurnool and Nandigamal, even though his arrival was delayed by hours and hours, people flocked to the villages and showed interest to listen to his speech. He commented that if the main opposition leader in the state is a symbol of public patriotism, then Pawan Kalyan is a symbol of courage. Pawan Kalyan, who is fighting hard on public issues, said that it is a good result that he will see that the votes of the opposition are not split. Raghurama Krishnaraju said that the Supreme Court refused to grant a stay on the High Court's verdict on the establishment of three capitals.
Raghurama Krishnaraju said that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Telangana has mentioned in the notices issued to him that they will call again if necessary. Eddewa said that this news will be a disappointment to those who were waiting like chakora birds that he will attend the SIT inquiry. He said that he had changed his schedule to attend the SIT inquiry as a law-abiding person. He said that since there is a religious aspect to it, the SIT police may have issued notices to him earlier due to some misconception as he is a person who respects Sanatana Dharma.

United States (sometimes abbreviated US or USA) is a sovereign country in North America, with a total land area of approximately 9,147,593 sq km. Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65), in which a northern Union of states defeated a secessionist Confederacy of 11 southern slave states, and the Great Depression of the 1930s, an economic downturn during which about a quarter of the labor force lost its jobs. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state. Since the end of World War II, the economy has achieved relatively steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.

A merger between the AJC and STC will lead a package of potential reforms including $174 million in funding however, the merger of the AJC and STC is not certain.
The future of Sydney's new 'super club' is far from certain. In a move conditional upon the merger of the Australian Jockey Club (AJC) and Sydney Turf Club (STC), the NSW Government recently announced a package of potential reforms including $174 million in funding for the redevelopment of the Rosehill and Randwick race tracks. While both the AJC and STC Boards had given their unanimous endorsement of the proposed government package, it was up to AJC and STC members to vote on the merger of the two clubs.
Whilst the members at the AJC general meeting overwhelmingly approved the merger on 7 October 2010, the members of the STC, who attended the 11 October 2010 general meeting, voted against the merger by a reported 40/60 or 2/3rd majority.
It is understood that the NSW Racing Minister, Kevin Greene, has asked the boards of the AJC and STC for their recommendations by the end of this week and, if supportive, the Government would proceed. However, some might consider it a brave STC board to now recommend in favour of the merger in light of the vote.
the STC would have received $24 million and had planned to refurbish the Fleming Stand at the racecourse, build a new main entry and railway bridge, build a pedestrian bridge over James Ruse Drive, purchase a new demountable concert stage and infield screen and build a vehicular access bridge and tunnel link to the infield car park.
Details of the merger were still being determined prior to the vote and before a new Act was introduced into the NSW Parliament to endorse the package. The proposed Act would have established the new racing club and repealed the previous Acts which established the AJC and the STC (the Australian Jockey Club Act 2008 and the Sydney Turf Club Act 1943). The proposed start date for the new racing club was reported to have been 1 January 2011.
As part of the package of reforms, hundreds of new computerised gambling terminals (called Trackside) were to be introduced into pubs, clubs and TABs around NSW. It is reported that in a deal between Tabcorp, Racing NSW and the NSW Government, Tabcorp was expected to put up $150 million for the redevelopment costs of Rosehill and Randwick race tracks. It is not clear at this stage how Tabcorp would have recovered this "grant".
With uncertainty surrounding the future of Sydney's new 'super club', Clayton Utz will continue to monitor merger developments closely.


We're a real business, really!
Wow, we're a business. Not only have we incorporated (Playful Grounds Incorporated), but we now have a business bank account, with cheques and everything. I feel like such a grown up!
In other news the space we looked at on College isn't going to happen. But it's good. We decided that renovating a clothing store and converting it into a cafe would probably cost in the order of $100,000. So, we need to lease an existing cafe. That's a better idea. We have a line on a place, but no details yet - don't want to jinx it and all that.
If your next lead falls through you should look at the old Queen of Tarts space on Roncesvalles...wasn't a cafe exactly but a bakery, prime location and tons of kids in the neighbourhood (highest density in North America).
Thanks for the info. We will keep it in mind. Maybe it will be our second location!

Karlmann (französisch Carloman; † 876 in Echternach) war ein Angehöriger des fränkischen Herrschergeschlechts der Karolinger. Er war ein jüngerer Sohn des westfränkischen Königs und römischen Kaisers Karls des Kahlen aus dessen erster Ehe mit Irmentrud.

Um die bei den Franken traditionelle Herrschaftsteilung unter allen Herrschersöhnen zu vermeiden, beabsichtigte Karl der Kahle zugunsten seines ältesten Sohnes, Ludwig dem Stammler, seine jüngeren Söhne in den geistlichen Stand zu versetzen, um ihnen somit die Fähigkeit zur Erbfolge im Königtum zu entziehen. Karlmann erhielt deshalb 854 als erster Karolinger überhaupt die Tonsur und wurde wenig später zum Abt von Saint-Médard in Soissons ernannt. Nach dem Tod seines Bruders Lothar 865 erhielt er auch die Abtei Saint-Germain in Auxerre.

Trotz seines geistlichen Standes war Karlmann in der weltlichen Politik aktiv und unternahm mit einigen Getreuen 870 eine Revolte gegen seinen Vater. Der Aufstand scheiterte, Karlmann wurde in Senlis durch einen Richterspruch seines Vaters seiner Abteien enthoben und in das Castrum von Senlis gesperrt. Bald wieder freigelassen, floh er nach Flandern, von wo aus er die Revolte weiterführte. Einen Vermittlungsversuch seines Schwagers, Graf Balduin Eisenarm, wies er zurück. Im Jahr 873 wurde Karlmann erneut gefangen genommen und in Senlis eingekerkert. Eine Versammlung der westfränkischen Bischöfe sprach ihm nun auch seine geistlichen Würden ab und gestand ihm einzig die Laienkommunion zu. Dadurch wieder in den Laienstand versetzt, erhielt Karlmann wieder alle Rechte eines Thronerben und wurde damit zu einem wichtigen politischen Faktor. Schnell bildete sich eine neue Opposition führender Großer gegen Karl den Kahlen, die eine Befreiung Karlmanns und vermutlich dessen Inthronisierung zum Ziel hatte. Nachdem der Herrscher diesen neuerlichen Aufstand schnell niedergeschlagen hatte, verfuhr er mit den eigentlichen Verschwörern milde. Seinen Sohn aber, der dieses Mal persönlich nicht an dem Aufstand beteiligt gewesen war, ließ er blenden, um ihm somit erneut und nun endgültig die Thronfolge zu verwehren.

Nach diesem Strafgericht wurde Karlmann in die Abtei Corbie gebracht, wo er als Mönch leben sollte. Von dort gelang ihm aber die Flucht in das ostfränkische Reich seines Onkels Ludwigs II. der Deutsche. Dieser ernannte ihn zum Abt des Klosters Echternach, wo er wenig später starb.

More than 30 million people in the United States report struggling with mobility and 1 out of 50 live with paralysis. Many, like Aaron, receive a prognosis which is bleak and riddled with "you will nevers". But does this negativity become a self-fulfilling prophecy? How would a more positive approach combined with access to resources effect those struggling to overcome immobility?
