ThrillerFest Debut Authors of 2013-2014: Interview with Kelly Parsons, MD, Author of Doing Harm
ThrillerFest IX is going on from July 8-12, 2014 in NYC. Sponsored by International Thriller Writers (ITW), ThrillerFest starts out with writing seminars (CraftFest) and a chance to meet with agents (PitchFest) and leads into discussions about writing, books, trends (ThrillerFest) and a chance to meet and socialize with famous authors, aspiring writers, industry professionals, agents and fans of the genre. On Saturday mornings, ITW hosts a special Debut Authors Breakfast to recognize, celebrate and introduce the newest members of that year's class of published authors.
For those of us who love reading thrillers, the chance to hear some of our favorite writers talk about their craft and what moves them is a wonderful experience. My favorite part of ThrillerFest is the Debut Authors Breakfast. A morning dedicated to hearing the stories of newly published authors and of their journeys to publication and seeing the warmth and generosity with which the more senior and authors try to encourage and help them navigate the pitfalls of publishing, what's not to love?
This year, through the help of ThrillerFest organizer Kimberly Howe, Anthony Franze, and Jenny Milchman, I was able to interview a few of the authors in the ITW's debut class of 2013-2014.
First up is Dr. Kelly Parsons whose thriller Doing Harm was released last Feb. 4, 2014.
Doing Harm by Kelly Parsons
ISBN 978-1-250-03347-5 Hardcover $25.99
Publisher: St. Martin's Press (February 4, 2014), 368 pages.
Chief Resident Steve Mitchell is the quintessential surgeon: ambitious, intelligent, confident. Charged with molding a group of medical trainees into doctors, and in line for a coveted job, Steve has a bright future. But then a patient mysteriously dies, and it quickly becomes clear that a killer is loose in his hospital. A killer set on playing a deadly game with Steve. A killer holding information that could ruin his career and his marriage. Now, alone and under a cloud of suspicion, Steve must discover a way to outsmart his opponent and save the killer's next victim before the cycle repeats itself again and again....
The book opens with
"My patient is dying.
And it's all my fault."
We follow as Steve Mitchell describes the scene as the code team tries to unsuccessfully revive the patient. One of the top surgical residents faces what seems to be his first patient death. Prior to this, he'd been a rising star at the hospital and may be offered a permanent post.
Steve's more of a doctor's doctor - he doesn't empathize with patients and dislikes having to interact with them but if you were faced an operation, you'd want him to be in charge. The patient death rattles him and leads to an internal investigation. One thing follows another and somehow a life that seemed so orderly and perfect is ready to implode. Steve Mitchell's quick decline and loss of prospects is unnerving.
Parsons puts Steve Mitchell through the wringer so well, it reminded me of Scott Turow's writing. You have a highly paid and well respected professional at the top of his game suddenly undone by a seemingly unlucky chain of events. During Walter Walker's talk on Writing From the Professions yesterday, someone mentioned that they were drawn to medical and legal thrillers because she felt that aside from the mystery and suspense aspect, she felt that she was learning something from these books as well. In Doing Harm Kelly Parson weaves in a larger point of view that goes beyond the story of Dr. Steve Mitchell. I'm not the only one that thinks that Doing Harm stands out among medical thrillers, author Stephen King tweeted:
Stephen King @StephenKing Apr 14
DOING HARM, by Kelly Parsons: best damn medical thriller I've read in 25 years. Terrifying OR scenes, characters with real texture.
How's that for a recommendation?
I'd like to share my interview with author Kelly Parsons, MD:
Q: You must be very busy with your work as professor of surgery at UC San Diego and with your young family. How did carve out the time to write? How long have you been writing?
KP: I work at a university hospital as medical school faculty. At a university, you work very hard but you have a bit more flexibility in structuring your time and dividing up your responsibilities during the day. In terms of finding the time to do write, it's not something I stopped to think about until I published the book.
KP: Writing's a passion - I'd find time and make time. It usually means getting up at 5 am, writing before everyone else gets up and gets going, weekends, and whenever I have a spare moment. I write during vacations. So, really, I write anytime I can find the time to squeeze it in. There's more time than we think it is. I'm passionate about writing.
KP: I've been writing since I was a kid. As a resident I started taking notes and writing the material that became the book which took 6 years. I found an agent and took 2 years to sell the book.
Q: Had you heard of ITW before you'd become an author?
KP: I didn't know about it. It would have been nice to have known about the community.
KP: After I had sold the manuscript, my agent told me about ITW. I joined. There's another level as a debut author. Once the book came out I changed your status.
KP: I've just become part of the community. It's great to be part of this community of similar interests, who give support and feedback, and share common passions. I'm looking forward to meeting a lot persons during ThrillerFest.
Q: Who have been influences or inspiration? Who are you reading?
KP: Scott Turow a practicing attorney even as he was a writer. I get inspiration from the fact that Michael Crichton practiced medicine. John Grisham is a practicing attorney. I'd like to speak with him.
KP: In terms of who I read, I try to read everybody and everything I can get my hands on. I'm always striving to make myself better and to become a better writer. Only by reading different genres and types of prose and narrative structures do I get that exposure that can make me a better writer.
Dr Sleep by Stephen KingAmerican Gods by Neil GaimenCryptonomicon and Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson Snowcrash cyberpunk is clearly known for being a writer in that genre. Steel crash. Fusion of historical fiction and thriller. WWII and presentThe Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
KP: For nonfiction, I just finished Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink. I'm about to read Michael Lewis's Flash Boys. You have to try to expose yourself to different writing.
Q: What are you working on now? Will steve mitchell be back?
KP: I'm working on my second novel. I've a two-book deal with St. Martin's. It's also medical thriller. Set in a hospital in San Diego and involves biotech.
Q: Independent bookstores have been described as germinating nurseries for writers. Do you go on book tours? Blog interviews?
KP: All of the above. As a debut author, it's very hard to break in and to have your work noticed by a very crowded marketplace. I go to independent bookstores in the west coast and some panels and compliments of ITW I participated in a panel on "The Birth of a Thriller" in April in Florida. That was wonderful, a great opportunity.
KP: If you love reading, please support your local independent bookstore. They are such an important part of the community. Not just for book lovers but for communities in general. I was at my local independent recently and there was a group of teenage girls just sitting in a circle in the YA section. Sitting quietly talking. That's exactly what a bookstore is about. Kids sitting, sharing ideas and hanging out.
Q: Last words for aspiring writers?
KP: Keep writing. Follow your passion. Write when you can. Read when you can. I hadn't imagined that it would come this far. I wrote because I had to write. I had an inner voice to write and am glad I did it.
KP: A plug for ITW, I wish I had known about the community earlier in the process. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to meet and gather with them. I'm looking to ThrillerFest.
Thank you to Kelly Parsons for taking the time to talk and for sharing your insights. Congratulations on Doing Harm!

Photography at the Utah State Capitol delivers a clean, white, modern look and creates timeless portraits. Whether shooting inside with the marble floors, stairs and walls or outside with the granite façade and steps, photography at the Utah State Capitol delivers a unique look. On the interior, there are wide sweeping stairs with beautiful antique gold light fixtures that are perfect for large family groups. Higher up the stairs, you have a balcony that overlooks the entire rotunda area giving sweeping views of the open vastness of the Utah State Capitol.
Outside on the front porch area, large granite columns frame the portico opposite beautiful dark and heavy iron doors. This area is my favorite place to create beautiful photography at the Utah State Capitol. Clean and modern is the feel in this area. Down the front steps, you will find black gates the lead to a lower floor and create a perfect contrast to the white of the granite.
If greenery is what you are after, there is a walking that completely encircles the Utah State Capitol and is lined with ornamental cherry trees that explode with blossoms in the springtime. Indeed a beautiful site and a wonderful time for photography at the Utah State Capitol. The capitol is located atop a hill giving stunning views of the city and valley below.
Shooting here any time of year as well as any time of day will yield beautiful imagery. Keep in mind that photography at the Utah State Capitol is gorgeous any time of day, any time of year and even in any weather because we can shoot indoors.

Jake Shimabukuro Keeps Hawaii Close to His Heart As He Conquers the World
by Bob Doerschuk
Jake Shimabukuro sits in the green room at the Franklin Theatre in historic Franklin, Tennessee. Vintage guitars adorn the walls. Bassist Nolan Verner, Shimabukuro's partner in tonight's duo performance, hovers near the buffet. The atmosphere is subdued, conversations muted. The ringtone on the uke player's phone fits the vibe perfectly—a single ping that sounds just once per call.
Shimabukuro smiles warmly and speaks quietly. He seems at home in this venue, located on Main Street amidst small storefronts and restaurants in the community whose vintage-looking signs welcome visitors to "the best small town in America."
Then again, Shimabukuro probably looked as comfortable and content two nights before, in Denver's Boettcher Concert Hall, a vast circular space where he and the Colorado Symphony presented Byron Yasui's Concerto for Ukulele and Orchestra. For the past 13 years, audiences in America and abroad have embraced Shimabukuro as an engaging performer, virtuoso, and evangelist for the ukulele. He has performed at rock festivals and jazz festivals, with Yo-Yo Ma and for the Queen of England.
For Shimabukuro, the world has become his home, though Hawaii remains closest to his heart. Whenever he can, he heads back to the islands to join his family. Though accustomed to playing and advocating for his instrument throughout the world, he puts his role as husband and father above all others.
How has the birth of your second son, Cole, affected your professional life?
I'm trying to keep a better balance of being on the road and being home. I still do about the same amount of shows, but in less time. For example, on this run, we're doing 20 shows in 21 days, something like that. I'm not a singer, so I can do 20 shows in a row and not have to worry about losing my voice. And I love playing every night. Before, when I'd have a day or two with no show between, it was like, "I don't know what to do with myself!" I'd just stay in my hotel room, practicing. Now I can do all the shows I want and have enough time to spend at home with my family.
Does mixing up solo, duo, and trio dates along with orchestral appearances keep touring fresh for you?
It helps, because you have to approach each of those situations in a different way. My wife is a doctor. She likes when she has opportunities to do different types of surgery because it helps her to keep her chops up in different areas. That's kind of how I approach it. I like doing the solo thing but I also like when we have a rhythm section or I'm doing this duo thing with Nolan [Verner]. Recently we've been doing more orchestra dates, especially with the Ukulele Concerto.
You often include one or more familiar tunes on your albums, along with your own songs. On your newest release, Travels, you feature an especially sensitive solo arrangement of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There." How did that come about?
That's one of my favorite melodies. Also, I wanted to pay tribute to Iz [Israel Kamakawiwo'ole], who was one of my heroes as I was growing up. When I was arranging it, I really wanted to capture that feel that Iz had when he played that song. Another tie-in is Pat Metheny. I remember hearing him play a Norah Jones song called "Don't Know Why" on solo guitar. He played it so beautifully. It's very straightforward until he gets to the end, where he completely reharmonizes the melody. I have no idea what he was doing in that section [laughs], but that's kind of what inspired this arrangement. I started off by playing the song so that people almost hear Michael Jackson singing it, and then I twist the harmony and do this chromatic line moving up. Then in the second half of the melody, the line comes back down. I don't think I went too far with it, but it's an ear-bender!
Pat Metheny has six strings to use in reharmonizing. How do you compensate for having just four to work with?
Well, when you have less to work with, you have to be more selective with each note. When jazz guitar players do chordal harmonies, they're basically playing on the top three or four strings. That made me realize that you can get away with very complex ideas on just four notes because you can imply a lot.
You've elevated the ukulele to international consciousness. Where do you hope it will be in that sphere ten years from now?
I just hope that serious musicians will pick it up and dedicate their lives to playing in a specific genre. I want there to be a Yo-Yo Ma of the ukulele. I want there to be a Ricky Skaggs of the ukulele—or the Hendrix or the Muddy Waters. I try to play all kinds of music because I love all kinds of music, but I've been playing the ukulele pretty much my whole life, for 30-something years, and can you imagine the person who spends 30 years playing the ukulele, but just playing the Bach Preludes? What would they come up with? Or someone who only played bebop like Charlie Parker? I can only dabble in a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but someday I hope that if I want to hear bebop ukulele, I can listen to this guy. If I want to hear serious classical ukulele, I'm going to listen to this guy. Because right now you can do that with the guitar. You can listen to [Andrés] Segovia and then you can listen to Pat Metheny. I know that day will come for us as well.

Production Rehearsals
By Robb Allan in Live Sound, On Tour with Massive Attack July 11, 2014
The following is the second in the series, On Tour with Massive Attack, from Robb Allan. Robb will be sharing his perspective as both a touring FOH engineer and Avid live sound team member.
I've spent my whole life touring mixing sound, but for the past eight years I've been working at Avid in the Live Sound team. Avid makes all kinds of software and hardware that allows people to create all the best music we listen to and the movies and TV we watch, with Pro Tools and Media Composer being the most well known product names. For the last four years I've been a part of the team, led by my mate Al McKinna and featuring the audio Jedi Robert Scovill, that developed a new live console poetically called the S3L. Since its launch I've been travelling around, talking to the audio community about it and running hands-on training workshops with my colleague Chris Lambrechts. So now I'm going to spend the summer touring with S3L and mixing Front of House for the extraordinary Massive Attack on the console I've watched grow from drawings on paper to a fully functioning work of genius (yes, I'm a little biased).
So to get ready for the tour, the plan is to spend three days in the Massive Attack studio working on arrangements and ideas followed by five days of production rehearsals in the Bristol O2 Academy to get the show programmed. We'll then send the gear to Sofia in Bulgaria, have a last production day in the venue there, and then put on our first show. I haven't toured with Massive for eight years, and I'm so looking forward to meeting up with them and starting the tour, that I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas.
So I roll up to the Massive Studio, which, as they say, is in a secret location in a Bristolian industrial estate. It's a really cool space filled with art from 3D and other artists. All kinds of stuff, from original Sex Pistols posters and art that became Massive Attack album covers to an original Cyber man from Doctor Who. In fact, you can see the latter in one of the attached photos. It's an inspiring creative space and the band had been holed up there for weeks. The two drummers, Julian and Damon, the bass player Winston, and guitarist Angelo are set up in the Live room. The control room had the keys, playback and vocals. Monitor engineer Paul Hatt and the backline crew were in the hallway. I had my S3L upstairs between the dining room table where we ate and the foosball table we played on.
Thank goodness for S3L's compact size—if I'd used my old analogue desk from back in the day, we'd all have gone hungry and had to cancel the fiercely competitive foosball competition.
We didn't fully mic everything, as the focus here was on the band's arrangements. I built my show file and took a monitor mix from Paul to listen to the new songs and arrangements. I had fun but was itching to get to the Academy to really start working. Eventually late Sunday night we packed everything up and moved across town.
Bristol O2 Academy
We decided to set up the full backline on the venue floor, as there wasn't sufficient space on the stage. We mic'd everything up with pretty straightforward mics—I've included a channel and mic list for the curious.
Highlights for me were a vintage Altec 633A for Damon's snare top and the new AKG D12VR for the kick drum.
We're going to play a lot of outdoor festivals over the summer from Iceland to Lebanon, so I wanted to mic the kit zonally and with underheads rather than the traditional overhead method, to limit wind noise and have a clean and tight pick up pattern.
We had Sure Beta 98AMP's on the toms and a mix of AKG C414B XLSand Sure SM81s on the cymbals, hats, percussion, etc. I also needed close microphone placements for some of the esoteric plugins inserted on particular cymbals or percussion in parts of songs (more on that later).
In a crazy twist, the huge video and lighting rig were being prepped and programmed in a different town. We had a video link to watch their work whilst we got on with ours. We won't actually put sound and vision together until we get to Sofia! There are A and B visual set ups which will leap frog around Europe all summer with some extra surprises brought in for our Glastonbury headline slot.
FOH Kit List
So at FOH I have my S3L in a cool AdLib audio flightcase, a keyboard stand for it to sit on, (LOL, it used to take ten guys and lots of swearing back in the dark ages to get my desk up), MacBook Pro for Pro Tools record and playback, Rosendahl Mif4 to convert the LTC toMTC, Roland UM ONE USB MIDI interface, and my Focal CM50. The Focals are killer monitors from my studio that I'm using for Virtual Soundcheck and general audio work. I can listen to them all day and not get tired. I love how smooth, detailed, and non-abrasive the top end is and their flat and honest bass frequencies. Absoloutely my favourite near field monitors.
The whole show runs to code generated at the playback machine. Pro Tools stems, mainly sound effects and keyboard tracks, are imported in and with click tracks are matched to code. This is distributed to audio, video, and light worlds.
Here's how it works: LTC runs up my AVB multi to an input channel, a direct out goes to my Rosendahl device which converts it to MTC, the Roland then gives me MTC over MIDI to trigger the shows snapshots. The best thing about this is that in my Virtual Soundcheck I record the LTC code to a Pro Tools track when the band are on stage, and in playback mode the code is there in exactly the same place back from Pro Tools which goes to the Rosendahl etc. this allows me to do precise programming.
Sometimes I have a very complicated cue at a very specific point in a song that has too many changes to do simultaneously manually. I can spend time in my virtual soundcheck to find the exact frame to recall my snapshot, store it and know it will be perfect everytime.—absolutely awesome and a little sci-fi too! I used to use index cards with written reminders back in the day. The problem with memory prompts is remembering to bring them in the first place. Sometimes I'd leave them on the bus or catering, in my hotel room…. We also run extra playback tracks specifically for monitors, for example count in cues, typically 1,2,1,2,3,4 for the IEMs—even some tones or chords for the singers to pitch to in some of the denser soundscapes.
Virtual Soundcheck Rules!!!
We had the best part of four days to work in the Academy. We put in incredible long hours to make sure that the show would be perfect, with the band rehearsing the songs and working on their in-ear mixes. Paul has so many cues to write, but having the code to trigger them makes his job not quite impossible, but only just. The stage is largely silent, with no speakers, IEM's, and virtual amps. The only sounds are the acoustic drums and the clacking of the sticks on the electric kits pads. This really helps with the Virtual Soundcheck as you don't have to allow for ambient noise from the stage, especially in the large arenas and open air shows we are playing. I had Pro Tools running all day, with the longest session being ten hours!! It's incredible that with a MacBook Air and a standard USB3 drive I can record 64 tracks to Pro Tools over one Ethernet cable literally all day and night. It's a marvelous thing opening up a new session from Pro Tools and seeing "Create session from VENUE" as an option. Pro Tools recognizes that it's connected to a VENUE system, and using metadata included in the AVB network, creates a track for every channel on the desk that has an input patched in. It also creates mono or stereo tracks to match the mono or stereo channels on the console. More than that, it also takes the VENUE showfile name as the PT session name and all the desk input channel names as the track names in PT. All this happens much quicker than it takes me to describe it. It really is audio alchemy and saves so much time and effort. I start with a snapshot per song and build from there.
Snapshots and Plug-ins
As I mentioned in some of the songs there are multiple cues at a very precise point, which are impossible to do manually. I create a new snapshot for that cue and program the snapshot to respond to the exact frame of MTC. In record mode when I recall a snapshot a marker is placed in the Pro Tools timeline. In playback mode when I recall a snapshot Protools jumps to that point. Makes recording and tweeking your show so easy.
As VENUE has selective recall as its basic workflow for snapshots, I could slowly build my mixes knowing that I could add more elements later. I started with faders and mutes then added some plug-in settings and name changes for the playback tracks. Then using the Snapshot Recall Safe Matrix, I added in some more creative changes with dynamics specific to say one compressor on one channel. I ended with a couple of really specific plug-in cues. A SansAmp punches in for the rimshot of 'Tear drop' to give it an edge. This then feeds into a short plate verb with a 125ms pre delay. I have a couple of different cues inserting a mooger fooger phaser on one or other of the ride cymabals. The more general changes, say EQ or plug-ins that are a constant, I store as part of my show file. This means I can be very strategic and surgical with my snapshots.
As the band rehearsed I recorded everything into Pro Tools. There was a lot of stop-start as they got comfortable with their stage mixes and refined the arrangements. Eventually I'd get a full song recorded, and when they had a break or went home, I could start to build a mix from the recording. Robert, or 3D as he's known, would sit with me whilst I worked and he has a great ear. All the other band members would sit around as well at different times and throw in ideas. We could get very abstract and philosophical about the sound we were trying to achieve. The high hat and snare on one of the songs had to sound "like a Serge Gainsburg recording" (yes, I had to go buy an album on iTunes, I had no idea!!). At one point 3D and I were talking about dynamics. Massive have huge peaks of sound like a tsunami breaking over you that then drop down to tiny little bells (reverse delayed reverb inserted on one tune). It was late and I was ranting "Man, without quiet, loud doesn't exist—it's in the contrast that we find the truth. Without quiet loud isn't loud—it's ambient." Mark, the band's manager, then warned me that I was talking like a character from Spinal Tap. Time to go to bed! So over the days we slowly built up a detailed audio production much in the way you would produce an album. Varying the drum sounds and reverbs for every tune. Building dynamics into songs and trying to get the whole set to have an ebb and flow, so that everything we do builds towards climaxes then drops to near silence within songs and the show has a totality. The songs have to work together and have a coherent audio style and content within themselves, and as part of a whole two hours worth of performance. The collaboration that the Avid Virtual Soundcheck offers is incredible. I love being able to sit with the artist and share the responsibility and creativity of the way the audio is presented. Artists also feel so much more comfortable when they know that the audio delivered to the audience is conceptually something they have created with the FOH engineer and signed off on. Back in the day they had to rely on the feedback they got from their mums or girlfriends (or the A and R man propping up the bar) as to how the show sounded.
Roadie rule number 2. Listen to the band. Its their music, your job is to make sure everyone can enjoy it.
Sofia Production Day
So we all get to the gig to find it's in a Soviet-era ice hockey arena—all concrete, shiny seats, glass, and a massive corrugated tin roof. Basically the roof was the world's largest plate reverb. The first thing to greet us was a sign at the front door to inform us we couldn't bring guns into the venue. OK, glad to hear it. Later I timed a reverb from the kick drum at eleven seconds. There was pandemonium an hour into the load-in when a rat the size of a domestic cat (honestly freakin' huge) ran from the open drains, crossed under the stage ramp, followed the multi to FOH and disappeared down a different open sewer.
The main hang of PA was d&b V-Series with V-SUBs—the first time I'd used it. It's a passive box, so you get a lot of sound from very few amplifiers. Efficient German engineering. It sounded great even in this room. Unfortunately there wasn't enough of those boxes in Bulgaria to cover the whole Arena. It held twenty thousand or so. The rental company then had some ancient home made subs (hhmm, the less said the better) and some Nexo GEO S8 for out hangs. Also some Nexo infills and more home made boxes for the wide infills—quite a mixture. We spent a little time on it and eventually got the thing to puff and pant at the same time! It was like the united nations of speakers. I was performing the audio version of "order, order!"
Unfortunately I had to leave some of the finer points of the mix for a more forgiving room and get on with the "basic meat and potatoes" of the sound. At one stage the bass player Winston asked me whether the sound of the reverb on his bass fx rack had the correct reverb time and whether he needed to add more… The printable version of my reply is that, kind as the offer was, there was probably sufficient reverb in the lower frequencies to be had for free in the arena. So that was it—production finished. Time to get on with the Show!

The Great Commission is about discipling nations, not just people.
The marketplace (the heart of the nation) has already been redeemed by Jesus and now needs to be reclaimed by His followers.
Labor is the premier expression of worship on earth; and every believer is a minister.
Our primary call is not to build the Church but to take the Kingdom of God where the kingdom of darkness is still entrenched in order for Jesus to build His Church.
These paradigms might seem radical, and are not necessarily what we hear from the pulpit every week, but they are thoroughly biblical and clearly reflect God's perspective. However, to be able to see them, we need to wear the right lenses, because it is our tendency to be shortsighted when processing divine instructions; that is, we tend to focus on what is closer in the present at the expense of capturing the full scope of all that God has in store for us and wants to accomplish through us.
A clear example of this is found in Acts 1:4-8 where Jesus is telling the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until they have been baptized with the Holy Spirit. to receive the power required to disciple nations all over the world. Undoubtedly Jesus is looking through the distance portion of the lenses.
How did the disciples process this information? I dare say nearsightedly, as revealed by their inquiry: "Are you going to restore the Kingdom to Israel at this time?" Basically they were asking, When the Holy Spirit comes, are we going to be vindicated before our nation, and as a result, Jerusalem become the center of the world with the nations coming to us?
But Jesus had a different focus. He told them not to wait for nations to come to them, but to go to the nations. He specifically instructed them to begin by discipling a city (Jerusalem), and from there to move up to a region (Judea), and once they had acquired some experience in the subject of regional discipleship, to go on and tackle the first nation (Samaria), and after that not to stop until they had reached the ends of the earth—all nations (Acts 1:8). What a contrast! In essence, Jesus was saying that it is not about you, it's about God and God is about nations!
Clearly, God intends to restore the Kingdom to Israel. He does pour out His Spirit upon people to endow them with supernatural power to overcome personal challenges. The problem is that the disciples focused on the immediate dimension at the expense of the bigger picture. For the Bible to make sense, for its principles to become relevant and for the promised results to materialize, a series of paradigm shifts are necessary to allow us to become disciplers of nations, empowered by the redemptive work of Christ to fully reclaim the marketplace and worship God with our jobs so we can take the Kingdom of God where evil is still entrenched so that nations will have honor and glory restored.
For many, the shifting of paradigms began with a very practical question, Where is God on Mondays? Or for that matter, every other day of the week besides Sunday? God is passionately interested and invested in human affairs all the time. Consequently, He is willing to bring His presence and His power to bear, first in our immediate sphere of influence, and eventually in our cities and even our nation.
Lieutenant Governor Welcomes Jesus into Paradise.
Hawaii, one of the most alluring and hospitable American states, has scored a number of negative "firsts." The first abortion clinic opened in Honolulu in the '70s. A strong liberal lobby in Hawaii is relentlessly pushing for the islands to be at least the second state to approve assisted suicide legislation (Oregon has the discredit of being the first).
Things began to change on December 7, 2004, when Lieutenant Governor James "Duke" Aiona led 6,000 believers in a corporate invocation, inviting Jesus, publicly and officially since on that day he was the acting governor, to come into the state to make it God's Hawaii. This solemn act was the climax of a canopy of prayer raised over the islands that day and the prayer walk of 77 school campuses across the state.
In Hawaii, that prayer exercise reflected the new understanding about the need to disciple nations and the right to reclaim the marketplace (in this case education) for the Kingdom of God.
Anybody familiar with the acidic American constitutional debate on the separation of church and state knows that participating in (and, in the case of Hawaii's Lieutenant Governor, leading) such an overt public religious exercise is tantamount to political suicide. However, this was not about the institutional church and state; it was all about God and the problems of the state. Hence, the dramatic and extraordinary changes that began to take place shortly after the statewide prayer made believers of many unbelievers, to the point that even the secular media began to report good news.
Following the raising of the canopy of prayer, crime and disciplinary referrals in school campuses decreased dramatically. In some schools, Grade Point Averages and graduation rates reached record highs. In another school, teenage pregnancy dropped significantly. Best of all, in many schools campus drug dealers, who used to operate with impunity due to the complicity of students, were exposed and arrested. All of this constituted clear validation that the Kingdom of God was taking over areas where evil had been systemically entrenched. Churches "adopted" schools and took offerings to purchase much needed equipment or to pay for repairs. Believers volunteered as athletic coaches, spiritual advisors and campus counselors, and prayer became common at track meets, sporting matches and even at faculty meetings.
Once prayer became a "normal" activity on campus, students regularly made it a practice to hold hands in small circles to publicly pray for the principal, the teachers and fellow students. Soon afterwards, reports of miraculous answers to those prayers fueled greater interest in God's presence on school grounds and many students and administrators experienced life changing encounters with Jesus.
In the context of the prayer exercise in December of 2004, a group of 25 players from across the Islands issued an invitation, and a month later 134 Kingdom minded persons came to hear and share reports, hopes and dreams for the future. This led to a spontaneous gathering of 900 transformation-hungry Christians in February 2005, which in turn resulted in an Anointed for Business seminar the following May for 2,500 believers. During the closing session of this seminar, 200 pastors commissioned 2,300 church members as marketplace ministers in an inspiring ceremony that set the stage for the newly commissioned to turn their jobs into their ministry. The following week, scores of transformation groups were launched (most of them around lunch breaks) in hospitals, ranches, the waterfront, stores, banks, car dealerships, attorney's offices, schools and hotels. Prayers began to be offered all over the marketplace for Hawaii to become God's Hawaii, just as the Lieutenant Governor had prayed the previous December.
The results became evident right away. The ancient bitter animosity between Republicans and Democrats took a direct hit when the Republican Lieutenant Governor and a leading Democratic state senator publicly asked forgiveness on behalf of their respective parties. Subsequently, spirituality in politics became prevalent among legislators and government workers. At least 50 people have joined a newly established prayer meeting in the state building. The political climate improved so much that both parties rated the 2006 legislative session as "the best ever," and closed it by singing "Amazing Grace" in chambers!
At the city level, shortly after a fiercely fought election, the Mayor of Honolulu (a Mormon and a Democrat) opened his term in office with prayer convocation to seek God's favor for the city and afterwards prayed regularly with pastors in his office seeking God's guidance and favor. A year later, at what was billed as the Mayor's "annual prayer service," he gave eloquent testimony that intercession and God's favor were the reason for the remarkable municipal breakthroughs of the previous twelve months. At this prayer service, government and community leaders representing the most diverse social and political streams held hands asking for God's blessing on the city and the state.
Breakthroughs also started to show up in the business community. The management of the leading car dealership introduced prayer for their employees and customers. Crime decreased and the murder rate was cut in half.
The booming economy is now the best in the history of the state; and Hawaii now has the lowest unemployment in the nation. Median income rose from $53,554 to $58,112 in one year, while the poverty rate descended from 10.6% to 9.8%. And on April 20, 2007, the local newspapers covered a friendly dialogue between Democrat and Republican legislators to refund to the taxpayers the fiscal surplus of the previous two years as the state constitution mandated.
Across Hawaii, voluntary worship services are being held in school campuses, and pastors are being asked to serve as spiritual advisors. Furthermore, in the tough docks of Honolulu it has become "typical" to see sturdy stevedores lifting heavily tattooed arms in prayer; while in a growing number of boardrooms divine guidance is sought by CEOs and senior management as part of the regular corporate agenda.
In the town of Nanakuli, historically one of the poorest and most hopeless places in the state, believers had adopted every square inch of the city and prayer walked the entire community, inviting Jesus to set up residence in it, and especially in its school campuses. Shortly afterwards, the National Football League donated one million dollars to build youth centers in the area, most of which will operate in conjunction with the schools where Jesus was invited in. At about the same time, a nearby prison began to experience radical transformation when the newly appointed warden invited Jesus to make it "Jesus' prison." In less than six months, half of the inmates became believers, were baptized, transformed, and are now actively involved in building a Christian ward that is setting the bar for the rest of the prison.
On the island of Maui, businessman Myles Kawakami gave God control over his company. The business began to prosper and Myles has been faithfully writing checks from God's 51% portion of the profits to bless poor people and social undertakings, while watching his income increase. Myles and his wife Joyce feed thousands of needy people in addition to funding a significant number of projects.
Breakthroughs have also gone beyond Hawaii. Francis Oda, chairman and CEO of Group 70, arguably the leading architectural firm in the state, was in Tahiti to participate in an architectural contest for the renewal of the capital's city, Papeete, and its waterfront. Francis saw himself as a channel for God's Kingdom to become manifested in Tahiti, even though the stated reason for his trip was an architectural assignment. Francis understood that he was called to disciple nations and to reclaim the marketplace, and that his job was a vehicle to take God's kingdom where evil was still entrenched.
During an official meeting, the President asked for Francis' opinion on what to do on the location of a project he had just stopped. Francis asked specific questions to get the best possible grasp on the subject, and after pondering the information he suggested a museum. The president stated that it might be better to consider an alternative placement and proceeded to give him the reasons for it. Acknowledging the President's reasoning, Francis said, "If you put it there, the project may turn out to be good, but if you place it on the waterfront, it will become world famous". As soon as his words were uttered, a sepulchral silence fell on the meeting. The President abruptly changed the subject and Francis became aware of a cultural tenet that Tahitians never violate: one does not contradict the President's opinion, especially in public.
However, soon afterwards the President returned with a wink and a twinkle in his eyes and told him, "I like your idea, but can I say that it was my idea? And can you make a presentation in two days' time?" Francis, vividly relieved, agreed to the presentation while wondering how he would find the time to do it on such a tight schedule.
The next morning, while he was "prayer swimming" – interceding for his host nation, the Lord instructed Francis to record the details of what He was about to download to him. This proved to be a challenge because Francis was in the water with no clothes but his swimming trunks and no writing material handy. But, like the prophets of old, he began "to make notes" in the sand, while his assistant (unlike the biblical scribes) ran to the hotel to fetch a digital camera to photograph God's revelation before it was erased by the tide!
For the next two days, Francis and his associate found themselves feverishly drawing to have the document ready on time. To compound matters further, just a few hours before the dinner where Francis was expected to present his work before the President and invited VIPs, he received a phone call from an assistant to the President requesting Francis' opinion on how to solve an engineering challenge affecting the docks, the beaches, and the highways in the downtown area. "The President would appreciate if you can have a solution on this subject also," intoned the assistant in the most natural manner.
Both requests represented challenges beyond anything humanly possible. But Francis, as a marketplace minister deputized by God, had a direct line to the Creator, and he put it to good use. After he prayed, God gave him a most inspired insight on how to resolve the challenge and the time and the energy to make all necessary drafts!
What emerged for both projects was so extraordinary and riveting that the President was elated and inquired again how Francis had come up with such a brilliant concept in such a short time. Very straightforward, Francis stated, "It was God. As surprising as that sounds, it did make sense, even though at first it startled the President, because thirteen French engineers had been working on the second project for six months and had not been able to come up with anything remotely close to what Francis had designed.
One thing led to another, and eventually both the President, his wife, Francis' collaborating Tahitian architect, Teiva Raffin, this architect's partners and his Iranian wife received the Lord. Francis baptized them and, after laying hands on them, they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Not long afterwards, the President asked Teiva Raffin, now fellow believer, to offer a prayer for Tahiti during an official gathering–a definite first!
Stories like this eloquently testify that these pivotal paradigms, when embraced with childlike faith and Spirit-led persistency and dependency, produce the same results that we read in the Scriptures.
Yes, the Bible is a reliable record of God's intervention in human affairs, and these stories are proof that God is very involved in transformation of nations. The Bible narratives are not meant to be mere memorials to ancient times, but to serve as launching pads for contemporary emulations. It is about time to stop seeing the Bible as an echo of the past and to let it be what it is meant to be: the guiding voice for the future. To see what we have never seen we must do what we have never done, or else we will continue to see what we always see. Embracing these five paradigms is the first step of a long and glorious journey.


What do you call the name of the room where a person is initiated as a Christian?
Did you say the word "font" or "baptistery?" Likely you did, and those are the most common words in modern times for the site of Christian initiation. But the ancient evidence tells a different story. I'm currently writing a scholarly article about this underappreciated fact, that the word "baptistery" (Greek baptisterion / Latin baptisterium) was, at least according to the evidence from inscriptions, not nearly as common as other terms. Many others were used, such as kolumbethra (swimming bath) and piscina (fish pond).
But I'm focused now on the word photisterion, a Greek word meaning "place of illumination." Why did many churches – especially in Syria, Palestine, and Jordan – use this term to capture the meaning of the site of initiation?
Part of the reason likely has to do with the prominence of anointing oil as part of the composite initiatory rite. Oil manifests fire, both physically and metaphorically. It fills lamps for tables and flasks for torches. Figuratively, oil incarnates the spark of "illumination" (photismos), this term itself being one of the primary words for Christian initiation in the East.
For contemporary listeners, ideas of illumination or enlightenment might sound more at home in Buddhism or "new age" spirituality, but in fact, they were at the heart of early Christian initiation. For example, when Cyril of Jerusalem describes those preparing for initiation, he often calls them "those about to be illuminated/enlightened" (photizomenoi). And in Gregory of Nazianzus's oration "On Holy Baptism" (Oration 40, Epiphany, 381 C.E.), the term "baptism" is interchangeable with "illumination," to the extent that Rufinus's Latin translation of this oration usually renders the Greek photismos as the Latin baptismus. In terms of the ritual logic of initiation, oil and fire are inextricable from one another, and they are two primal elements that proverbially "don't mix" with water, the other primal element of the ritual program. The liminal space of conversion brings together these opposing forces in order to intensify the sacramental experience.
Fire or light also manifests the Holy Spirit at initiation, and in the Syriac traditions especially, such imagery sparkles. Ephrem portrays a general Syrian view: "fire is the symbol of the Spirit; it is a type of the Holy Spirit who is mixed in the baptismal water so that it may be for absolution" (Hymns on Faith 40).
But beyond these general connections, I'm also exploring the early Christian recollection of the light at Jesus' own baptism. You remember that part of the story, right?
No, probably not. If you're confused by what I mean, you're not alone. The canonical gospels describe the voice and the dove, but not a special light. Nonetheless, the presence of fiery light was part of the story known by Justin Martyr in the second century: "As Jesus went down into the water, the Jordan was set ablaze" (Trypho 88). It appears in other sources too, such as Old Latin biblical codices of Matthew: "when he was baptized, a flaming light shone around the water." More importantly for the interpretation of the photisterion, later Syrian texts pass on this tradition of light at Jesus' baptism (the Diatessaron, Ephrem, Jacob of Serugh, and more).
It is also possible that the light at Jesus' own baptism was ritually reenacted by at least some Christians in their own initiations – a kind of anamnesis, akin to the ritual of the eucharist's recollection of the Last Supper. To this point, Ephrem's Hymns on Epiphany are very suggestive, but the best evidence for anamnesis that I've found so far is a story from Egypt.
It's part of a letter preserved in Coptic from Theophilus of Alexandria to the monk Horsiesios. The archbishop asks the rural monk to come to the city, in order to help him out with the baptismal ritual, since he is having trouble consecrating the water: "Since my fathers they have come to baptize on the appropriate day," he writes, "and while they are praying by the pool, a shaft of light (oy-hrabdos n-oyoein) comes and seals the waters. But this year we have not been worthy to see this." Theophilus then continues to describe how he had a vision that Horsiesios can help him. As you might guess, Horsiesios does come, and the ray of light does appear.
The overall text has different aims -- about the proper date of Easter -- and this "shaft of light" episode may just be a fanciful "holy man" story. On the other hand, perhaps the arguments about the proper date of Easter are actually the key to understanding the "shaft of light" scenario. That is to say, if a room for initiation was constructed with a hole or oculus in the ceiling or wall, so that sunlight shone through and illuminated exactly the initiatory spot on precisely one day of the year, the connection made by the text makes perfect sense. It would be not only an architectural way of reenacting the ray of light at Jesus' baptism, but also a clever means of securing a specific calendrical date for initiation.


You must have Android (APK and Eclipse plugin) installed. We also assume that you have completed the Hello, World! tutorial.
The JARs created by the Net4Care archetype (as in the Hello, World! spirometry tutorial) may be used in an Android application. The present tutorial explains how to create an Android client to replace the client generated by the Net4Care archetype.
Create an Android application (e.g., "n4c_android") in Eclipse with an Activity for creating and sending spirometry measurements (e.g., "Spirometry").
To add one of these JARs, the recommended way is to (in Properties -> Java Build Path -> Add Variable...) "Extend..." the M2_REPO environment variable (cf. the Eclipse Maven setup) to point to JARs in your local Maven repository, which can be found under "org", "net4care", "n4c_DEPENDENCY_NAME", "0.X-SNAPSHOT". Once you have added the JARs, you must tell Eclipse to provide these libraries at runtime by selecting them in the "Order and Export" tab.
Here, defineSpirometryObservation() is defined similarly to HelperMethods.defineSpirometryObservation() in "n4c_test". Remember that you will need a CPR number recognized by the the system to define observations. You can find a list of recognized CPR numbers in the class "FakeObjectExternalDataSource" located in "n4c_storage".
and, secondly, run the Android application from Eclipse. The code above assumes (because of the URL) that the Android application is run in an emulator running on the same computer as the server.
Finally, you may inspect the log in the DDMS perspective in Eclipse and the server log located in "n4c_receiver/runner/net4care.log" to ensure that the data was sent and received correctly.

There is more to life than sacrificing your gift to the highest bidder.
Wake up early. Get to work and try to impress everyone with how good you are at it, even though you're secretly bored to death. Maybe you even hate it. Regardless, you're not enjoying it, but you have to at least pretend. Try to keep that act up until quitting time, when you start doing anything you can to keep your mind off the fact that you've got to do the same thing again tomorrow.
What do you call that? The daily grind? The hustle?
I've got another word for it: Prostitution.
It's what happens when you degrade your identity for a paycheck.
It's what happens when you refuse to believe that you're worth more.
I take it you're starting to see the parallel, but it gets worse.
The core problem with prostituting yourself isn't the money, the long hours or the fact that you have to pretend to enjoy it. It's not even the fact that you're giving yourself to people who ultimately do not care about you.
The problem with prostituting yourself is that you are meant for so much more!
You were designed with an incredible amount of talent and genius that can change the world, if you let it! Your gifts are more than just decorations for your personality—they are the key to who you are! When you're working out of your gift, you're allowing the world to experience your greatness and, believe me, the world needs it!
But even more importantly, you need it.
You need it because you don't deserve a life of prostitution. You don't deserve a life of squandering your identity to your pimp for nothing more than a paycheck. There is no amount of money that's worth that, because you're doing way more than just working a boring job. You're choking out the deepest, most valuable part of yourself.
If that sounds like the life you want, fine. But I'm guessing, deep down, you know you deserve better. You know there's a better life for you. A life where you're doing something you love. A life where you're doing more than just what you're capable of doing. A life where you're doing what you're meant to be doing.
Breaking free from the life of prostituting your gift isn't easy, but the first step is a simple one.
You've got to find your genius.
"Genius" is what I call it anyway. Athletes call it "being in the zone." Artists call it "feeling inspired." Right now, you might call it your "dream job" or your "hobby." But the truth is, it's your passion. It's your purpose. It's how you "waste time" when you're "supposed" to be doing something else. And it's there in your heart, just waiting for you to embrace it, and let it turn your world upside down.
Really? That's all you want?
If you're really not sure if you even have a deep passion, or if you're just not sure what it is, here's a quick checklist for you to help you figure it out.
Where's your talent lie? What is something that you're really, really good at? Not just what you're able to do. You're able to do a lot of things, and your boss (your pimp!) will probably pay you just fine to do them. But what's something that you are actually, truly gifted at in a way that few people are? It might be something you haven't done since college, or even high school, but that's not a bad thing. That just means you stopped doing it once you decided it wasn't "realistic." It's time to bust it out again.
Do you enjoy this talent? More than just enjoy it, do you love it? Is this something you can just lose yourself in? Do you start doing it and lose all track of time? In Christian language, they'd call this an "anointing" or a "calling." You can just call it an energy.
How do people respond when you do this? Maybe you have no idea, because you haven't even tried to live from your genius in years (or maybe you're too scared of it to even let anyone in and see it) but trust me, if you want to live from your genius, you're going to need feedback. You need to know that people are responding to what you're doing, and that your passion has an energy that can multiply itself. This will mean letting people into your genius and letting them be honest with you.
Figuring our your genius is a process that can take some time. Often, it'll mean peeling back the layers you've built up over your heart, and really sitting with the fact that you're not happy. Maybe you're even miserable!
These realizations may not be comfortable but they're the best way to motivate you towards freedom. Once you realize how bad your heart really wants it, you'll risk everything to achieve it!
Prostitution is the life most people choose for themselves. A life of shoving their talent into a dark corner in order to work for people they don't particularly like so that they can afford a life they don't truly want.
But here's the thing: That's only your life as long as you allow it to be.
Change is within your reach. Freedom is on just the other side! Break free of your life in servitude and live out of where you were meant to live: your true genius!


PPC Advertising is an advertising model where you pay a price for each person who clicks on your ad.
You can also pay for conversions or pay for impressions. An impression is when an advertising platform displays your ad. Impressions do not mean that a person will click on your ad or even see it. It simply means that it is displayed so that it can be seen.
For example, when you search for a particular keyword in Google, ads will show up at the top of the screen and in the sidebar. These ads just received an impression because they are on your screen. Now if you click on one of those ads, the person who created the ad is charged a cost for that click.
There are many steps to properly set up a campaign. Steps that include, keyword research, creating ads, setting budgets, bidding on clicks, setting demographics, etc. Each Ad platform is different and the steps to setup a campaign will vary, but most companies like to be conservative with the campaign budget and only pay for highly targeted traffic that can result in a win for the business, until they have a baseline to measure the return on investment.
Once you sit down and put some thought into this marketing model, it doesn't take long for you to realize that the profitability of paying for clicks relies on the cost per click & the rate you are able to convert that person who clicked on your ad into a customer. Therefore, the first step is to establish a conversion rate and then look into the cost for the traffic.
To help you take the next step, we have put together a scorecard and basic reporting process that will help us understand your current position and identify opportunities for growth. This is a free basic evaluation to point you in the right direction.

I received my masters degree in computer engineering with a specialization in machine learning and pattern recognition.
Experience includes online advertising and digital media as both a data scientist (optimizing click and conversion rates) and big data engineer (building data processing pipelines). Some big data technologies I frequently use are Hadoop, Pig, Hive, MapReduce, and Spark.
I've created deep learning models to predict click-through rate and user behavior, as well as for image and signal processing and modeling text.
My work in recommendation systems has applied Reinforcement Learning and Collaborative Filtering, and we validated the results using A/B testing.
I have taught undergraduate and graduate students in data science, statistics, machine learning, algorithms, calculus, computer graphics, and physics for students attending universities such as Columbia University, NYU, Hunter College, and The New School.

Q: How can a component be rendered conditionally dependent upon the value in a defaultprops array? I have a ReactJS static defaultProps array, which is used to render a number of buttons. I'm looking to conditionally generate a text-component dependent upon which specific button is clicked.
Here is an example depicting a Car component:
...
static defaultProps = {
   cars: [
      { type: 'hatchback', color: 'red', info: '...' },
      { type: 'sedan', color: 'blue', info: '...' },
      { type: '4x4', color: 'green', info: '...' },
   ]
}
...

Let us say that each 'type' field generates a button labelled with type. Let's imagine that I want to create a swatch div that depicts the color onClick. So if I click the 'hatchback' button, then the swatch div will turn 'green' or 'red' or 'blue', dependent upon the car type selected.
What is the easiest way to do this?
Here is an example of the button mapping function:

{this.props.cars.map((car) => (
   <button>
      {car.type}
   </button>

And here would be an example of the colorSwatch div:

{car.info}

To be as specific as possible, the problem is to do with the text content and not conditional CSS issues.
I want to know how to conditionally set info.

A: You can store the clicked button object in state and use it to render your colorSwatch div
{this.props.cars.map((car) => (
   <button onClick={() => this.setState({clickedBtn: car})}>
      {car.type}
   </button>

const { clickedBtn } = this.state;
...
{clickedBtn &&
{clickedBtn.info}
}

This tutorial will guide you through building the video server present in the examples/video directory. This is a very simple app that responds conditionally to the requests i.e. it will allow the HTML video tag to work correctly.
the video is then available at http://localhost:5000/. Note you will need to place a video file called video.mp4 alongside the video.py file for this to work.
doing so will also make your project familiar to others, as you follow the same convention.
as hinted this is quite common for videos, given the large size.
as a client you can tell the difference via the status code, 200 is the full response and 206 a partial response.
The example files contain this entire tutorial and a little more, so they are now worth a read. Hopefully you can now go ahead and create and serve videos or any other file conditionally.


I spent the early afternoon snorkeling off San Clemente Island in the South Channel Islands of Southern California. After swimming through kelp forests and playing with sea lion pups, I stood on the boat and took this photograph. What I actually photographed was golden kelp beneath the water's surface, but the final print gives the impression of flowing deep blue velvet.


I can't seem to post more than one pic at a time anymore. It says I have exceeded my one picture limit per post. Is this something new?
It looks like you should be able to post 10. Your subscription hasn't run out has it? Check with the boss.
I just renewed for another year on the 14th of March. Maybe It just hasn't been reset yet. I'll check. Thanks!
FOr some reason your account did not get set automatically like it should have. It should be better now. Try again.
It's not working for me. I am trying to enter the url for images, ending in .jpg, etc. What am I doing wrong?
It sounds like you're doing it right. What is the URL you are trying to add?
I tried posting it over in the spridget forum under the monza performance muffler thread. maybe you could check the code on my post. I ended up posting a link to my photo and a disclaimer in case the photo attachment didn't work.
I tried to post that link as an image and couldn't do it either. It may be some copyright protection?
i tried to link to one from photobucket too but I couldn't... dang.
I think the problem is that Photobucket may not allow hotlinking of images from their server. Another option would be to download the picture you want to your computer, then add it as an attachment to a post (When you make a post you will see a "file manager" at the bottom of the editor for this purpose.
Blogger must not allow that either. I was able to attach a photo though. Thanks Basil.

Home IT & Telecom Intel ranks first in the nation for using renewable energy
Intel ranks first in the nation for using renewable energy
Greentech Lead America: Technology majors such as Intel
and Microsoft are in the top list of companies for using renewable energy.
Chip major Intel has been ranked first in the U.S. for
using renewable energy.
Intel used 2.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy in 2011
– 88 percent of its electricity use – up from 1.4 billion kWh the
previous year.
The company gets renewables from biomass, geothermal,
small-hydro, solar and wind by buying certificates and from on-site generation.
Kohl's Department Stores is second position. Technology major Microsoft is in
third rank. Combined, the top 50 EPA Green Power Partners use more
than 15 billion kWh of clean energy a year, preventing carbon
emissions equal to produced by 1.3 million American homes.
Kohl's runs on 100 percent renewable energy (solar and wind), but still uses
less than Intel at 1.5 kWh, because it's a smaller company. Kohl's leads the
retail industry in renewable energy use and buys certificates as well as
generating on-site. All new stores are LEED-certified and plans
to have 300 stores certified by the end of this year
and over 500 by 2015.
Microsoft is new to the list, ramping up to 1.1
kWh, taking third place through buying certificates, and McDonald's
USA, also new to the list, ranks 11th.
The City of Houston gets top ranking on the Top 20 Local
Governments list.
This is the first year that every Top 50 partner is
using more than 100 million kWh of clean energy a year.
EPA's Green Power Partnership works with 1,300
organizations, over half of which are small businesses and nonprofits, to
voluntarily use green power.
Close to 700 partners use clean energy for 100 percent of
their electricity.
The EPA measures corporate renewable energy use only for
operations within the US.

Q: How to Apply Computer Configuration Group Policy to a Remote Desk server based on user security group We are trying to figure out how to have a computer policy apply for only users in a specific security group. Essentially we have a group of users where we want to lock down things like server manager and powershell, but other users should have access to them on this remote desktop server. The RDP server is in its own OU with the group policy applied. In the group policy we updated the scope to only include the security group of the users we want the computer policy applied to. We also ensured under the delegation tab that authorized users had read access to the group policy.
When we run the group policy modeling wizard group policy is not applied because of security filtering. If we remove the security filtering and just have authenticated users, the group policy is applied ... for all users as you would expect.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Dan
Other Details
Windows 2008 R2 Domain and Windows 2012 R2 RDP Server

A: You can't filter Computer Configuration settings in a GPO based on a security group that contains users as members. Computer Configuration settings apply to computers, User Configuration settings apply to users, and never the twain shall meet.
The reason it works for Authenticated Users is because all computer accounts are members of Authenticated Users.

A: In addition to joeqwerty's answer, if you need to do it and can change your setting from computer to user, then;
You could use loopback processing mode.
Using Group Policy Management Console, edit the GPO you desire, expand Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy, and then double-click User Group Policy Loopback Processing Mode.
Then select the appropriate option (Replace or Merge).
A small explanation there

A workaround is to use user configuration settings with your security group filter with a WMI filter to target only that specific server.

Home / About us / Who we are
The ISBA has an 80-year heritage supporting independent schools. It can trace its history back to the founding of the Public Schools Bursars' Association which held its first general meeting on 26 April 1932 at the offices of Epsom College. Its name then changed to the Independent Schools' Bursars Association in 1983.
We now have more than 960 independent school members, covering over 1000 schools, including some 30 overseas associate members, from smaller preparatory schools to larger and well-renowned senior schools, including both boarding and day schools.
The ISBA is a charitable company limited by guarantee and although it is the school and not the bursar who becomes a member of the association, it is usually the bursar or equivalent who is the school's nominated representative.
Day-to-day we advise many different staff within a school's senior management team including the bursar, finance director, chief operations officer, business manager, deputy or assistant with areas of responsibility encompassing accounting, financial management and reporting, risk management, regulatory compliance, facilities management, HR, technology, environmental sustainability, auxiliary services and many more.
The ISBA is one of the constituent members of the Independent Schools Council (ISC) and is represented on the ISC Governing Council and a number of ISC committees. We are also often called on to represent the ISC at meetings with the DfE, HSE and Teachers' Pensions providing advice on bursarial matters.
Supporting independent schools since 1932


At the state 45th Legislative District's first meeting of 2018 on Wednesday night, Democrats took time to review some issues left unresolved after last year's session in Olympia and looked toward this year's.
The 45th was a key race in this year's special election. With Democratic Sen. Manka Dhingra's win in the district, both the Washington state House of Representatives and Senate came under the party's control.
State Rep. Roger Goodman addressed the crowd at Horace Mann Elementary in Redmond with policies he would like to see passed in 2018, a shorter session than last year's.
First, Goodman said he will be pushing to pass a the capital budget, which finances infrastructure projects.
Democrats have a one-vote majority in the Senate, which is enough to pass the budget, but a 60 percent approval is needed to issue bonds to fund the projects in the budget, Goodman said.
This presents a problem for Democrats who are locked in a battle with Republicans over a state Supreme Court decision known as the Hirst Decision.
The Hirst Decision essentially forces counties to take on the responsibility of issuing permits for wells, a function that the state formerly oversaw. Many rural counties argue they don't have the resources to do this, which has impacted the creation of wells in parts of the state outside Puget Sound.
Republicans refused to pass the capital budget last year without action to undermine the court decision, and Goodman said they will likely block the issuance of bonds even if the budget is passed this year.
Goodman also hopes to address gender and race equity, expand voting rights and enforce reproductive rights.
While he would like a carbon tax, he said the votes likely aren't there for it.
Similarly, while he said he supports single-payer health care, he doubts there will be enough support in the Legislature to pursue it in Washington state.
In criminal justice reform, Goodman hopes to offer a bill to create a commission to examine widespread reform in the state.
This commission would look at ways to reform the justice system from sentencing calculations, to how juveniles are treated and possibly police use of force.
"I've been waiting 20 years for this," he said.
John Stafford, a speaker at the meeting who keeps an eye on the Legislature for the party, said he hopes to see a change in the way police killings are handled. The state requires that prosecutors prove malice when trying to convict a killer, a higher burden of proof than most states.
The Legislature convenes on Jan. 8 for a scheduled 60-day session. Last year, the Legislature went into three special sessions for the longest session in state history at 195 days.


Even as we settle more and more into life in Serra Grande, we were happy for the chance to get on the road a little bit and travel to Salvador for the World Social Forum!
The World Social Forum is a massive event that in the 2018 edition brought together over 80,000 students, activists and actors from 120 countries and different areas of society to dialogue, share their stories and network towards new models alternatives to capitalism. Over 2000 workshops and activities took place in just 5 days, ranging from huge marches and protests to intimate talks and strategy sessions.
With the vision that "Another World is Possible," the first edition was held in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 2001, exposing the problems of globalization and free-market capitalism, and highlighting efforts to create alternatives. Over the years, the event has hosted 12 planetary editions (most of them in Brazil) and dozens of other smaller events, which have sparked many actions, alliances, and movements towards social and environmental justice.
Leticia was part of the early years of the WSF, attending the event in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005. We also attended a regional version of the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre in 2010, as we were preparing for the launch of Común Tierra, and then hosted an activity during the Thematic World Social Forum in Porto Alegre in 2016.
So it felt good to reconnect to this movement, and offer another space to explore some of the work Común Tierra has developed over the last few years.
We led a 2-hour workshop on the Federal University of Bahia campus, in the heart of the forum. We began by talking about Común Tierra, and then connected to CASA and GEN, sharing briefly about our experiences working in these two broader networks. After watching a couple videos, we introduced a bit of the holistic framework Ecovillages have developed for designing sustainable communities, using the 4 dimensions of sustainability model developed by Gaia Education. We explored these four dimensions and their interconnectedness, then split into small groups for some self-analysis of each participant's level of engagement with these different dimensions.
Our workshop attracted a great group, and it felt like no one wanted to stop when our time was up - always a good sign! It's true, we were really just getting going when our 2 hour slot had already gone!
The rest of the forum was full of activities, and we had to balance time for Anahí with the busy forum schedule. Some of our highlights include the opening march through downtown Salvador, the launch of the Latin American Eco-Socialist Alliance, and connecting to the movement of alternative currencies in Bahia and Brasil at large.
One of the most alarming events that occurred during the forum was not in Salvador but in Rio de Janeiro, where Councilwoman and human rights activist Marielle Franco was assassinated. Her death sparked protests around the country, and many actions within the Forum to express outrage and to push for justice and investigations.
Even with the logistics of attending with Anahí, we felt happy to to see that the World Social Forum is alive and well, continuing to serve an essential role as one of the only global spaces for social movements to come together and share their alternative proposals for the global crisis we face. As the mainstream political and economic institutions continue to offer nothing but "more-of-the-same," the voices and resistance of social movements and grassroots groups are more important than ever.


King's College London has won planning for a student halls-led mixed-use scheme in Rotherhithe, east London.
The complex on the site of Rotherhithe's former Mulberry Business Park – which includes 770 student bedrooms and 33 affordable homes – is the first element in King's expansion plans for the former docklands area.
King's has expressed an interest in developing a brand-new campus on the site of the Daily Mail's former printing press at 15-acre Harmsworth Quays next door, where British Land acquired the leasehold in April.
The student halls-led scheme will also include a health centre and retail space.
The two sites are near Canada Water station, which links the area to central, north, east and south-east London via the Jubilee line and overground line.
Councillor Peter John, Leader of Southwark Council, said: "King's College is an internationally renowned and respected university of great standing and I welcome them to an exciting part of the borough, this can only add to the progress made as part of the Area Action Plan, including the new super-library, new homes and public space.
"Last night's decision supports the council's aspirations to create a vibrant town centre for Canada Water and opens doors to the potential for a new campus in the adjacent Harmsworth Quays area.
