Corinthians iii. 21-23.
The Christian Life — Thomas Arnold
CORINTHIANS iii.21-23.
All things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
It is very possible, that all may not distinctly understand the force of the several clauses of this passage, yet, all, I suppose, would derive a general impression from it, that it spoke of the condition of Christians in very exalted language, and made it to extend to things in this world, as well as to things in the world to come. But can it be good for us to dwell on our exaltation? And if we do, may we not dread lest such language might be used towards us as that which St. Paul uses in the very next chapter to the Corinthians, "Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us; and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you." It would seem, however, that it would be good for us to dwell on the greatness of our condition and privileges, because St. Paul, who thus upbraids the Corinthians with their pride, had yet himself immediately before laid the picture of their high privileges, in the words of the text, in full detail before them, as if he wished them carefully to consider it. And so indeed it is. It feeds pride to dwell upon our good qualities or advantages, as individuals, or as a class in society, or as a nation, or as a sect or party; but, to speak generally, our advantages and privileges, as Christians, have not a tendency to excite pride; for some reasons in the nature of the case; for this reason amongst ourselves particularly, because the very essence of pride consists in contrast; we are proud that we are, in some one or more points, superior to others who come immediately under our observation. Now, we have so little to do with any who are not Christians, that the contrast is in this case wanting; we have none over whom to be proud; none whom we can glory in surpassing; and, therefore, a consideration of our Christian advantages, in the absence of that one element which might feed pride, is likely with us to work in a better manner, and to lead rather to thankfulness and increased exertion.
I say to increased exertion; for what would stop exertion is pride. It is the turning back, and pausing to look with satisfaction on what is below us, rather than the looking upward to the summit, and thinking how much our actual elevation has brought us on the way towards it. And, further, there is coupled with every consideration of Christian privileges, the thought of what it must be to leave such privileges unimproved. In this respect, how well does the language of the two lessons from Deuteronomy suit the lesson from the Epistle to the Corinthians. We heard the description of the beauty and richness of the land which God gave to his people, -- there were their advantages and privileges, -- we heard also, the declaration of their unworthiness, and the solemn threatening of vengeance if, after having received good, they did evil. And as the vengeance has fallen upon them to the utmost, so we are taught expressly to apply their example to ourselves. "If God spared not the natural branches," such was St. Paul's language to the church at Rome, "take heed lest he also spare not thee."
Let us not fear, then, to consider more nearly the high privileges which, as Christians, we enjoy: let us endeavour to understand, not merely generally, but in detail, the exalted language of the text, where it is said, that all things are ours; Paul, Apollos, and Cephas, the world, and life, and death, the things of time, and the things of eternity. These are ours because we are Christ's, and Christ is God's; they are ours so long as we are Christ's, and so far as we are his truly. They are not ours so far as we are not his: they are ours in no degree whatever the moment that he shall declare that we are his no longer.
"Paul, and Apollos, and Peter, are ours." This, perhaps, is the expression which we should understand least distinctly of any. It is an expression, however, of deep importance, though perhaps less so here than in congregations of a different sort. I need not, therefore, dwell on it long now. But the Corinthians, as many Christians have done since, were apt to think more of their being Christians of a certain sort, than of being Christians simply: some said, "We have Paul's view of Christianity, the true and sound view of it, free from superstition:" others said, "But we have Peter's view of Christianity, one of Christ's own apostles, who were with him on earth; ours is the true and earliest view of it, free from all innovations:" and others, again, said, "Nay, but we have been taught by Apollos, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scriptures; one who best understands how to unite the law and the gospel; one who has given us the full perfection of Christianity." No doubt there were some differences of views even between Paul, and Peter, and Apollos; for while, on the one hand, they were all enlightened by the Spirit of God, yet, on the other hand, they retained still their human differences of character and disposition, which must on several occasions have been manifest. But St. Paul does not tell us what these were, nor how far they extended, nor to what degree they had been exaggerated by those who heard them. He does not insist upon the truth of his own view, nor wish the Corinthians to lay aside their divisions, after the manner so zealously enforced by some persons now, namely, that those who said they were of Peter, or of Apollos, should confess that they had been in error, and declare themselves to be now only of Paul. Such a condemnation of schism he would have held to be in itself in the highest degree schismatical. But St. Paul was earnest, that schism should be ended after another way than this, by all parties remembering, that whatever became of the truth or falsehood of their own particular views of Christianity, yet, that Christianity according to any of their views was the one great thing which was their glory and their salvation. "Paul, and Apollos, and Peter, are all yours: but you are Christ's." You should not glory in men; that you belong to a purer church than other Christians; but that you belong to the church of Christ; that church, which, in its most pure particular branches, has never been free from some mixture of human infirmity and error; nor yet, in its worst branches, has ever lost altogether the seal of Christ's Spirit, nor ceased to believe in Christ crucified.
But the next words are of more particular concern to us here. "The world, and life, and death, and things present, and things to come, are all ours." They are all ours, so far as we are Christ's. The world is ours; its manifold riches and delights, its various wisdom, all are ours. They are ours, not as a thing stolen, and which will be taken from us with a heavy over-payment of penalty, because we stole it when it did not belong to us; but they are ours by God's free gift, to minister to our comfort, and to our good. And this is the great difference; the good things of this world are stolen by many; but they belong, by God's gift, to those only who are Christ's: and there is the sure sign, generally, to be seen of their being stolen, -- an unwillingness that He to whom of right they belong should see them. What a man steals, he enjoys, as it were, in fear: if the owner of it finds him with it, then all his enjoyment is gone; he wishes that he had never touched it; it is no source of pleasure to him, but merely one of terror. And so it is often with our stolen pleasures, -- stolen, I mean, not in respect of man, but of God, -- stolen, because we do not feel them to be God's gift, nor receive them, as from him, with thankfulness. They may be very lawful pleasures, so far as other men are concerned; pleasures bought, it may be, with our own money, or given to us by our own friends, and enjoyed without any injury to any one. They may be the very simplest enjoyments of life, our health, the fresh air, our common food, our common amusements, our common society; things most permitted to us all, as far as man is concerned, but yet things which are constantly stolen by us, because we take them without God's leave, and enjoy them not as his gifts. They are all his, and he gives them freely to his children. If we are his children, he gives them to us; and delights in our enjoyment of them, as any human father loves to see the pleasure of his children in those things which it is good for them to enjoy. But then, is any child afraid of his father so seeing him? or is the thought of his father any interruption to his enjoyment? If it would be, we should be sure that there was something wrong; that the enjoyment, either in itself, or with respect to the particular case of that child, was a stolen one. And even as simple is the state of our dread of God, of our wish to keep his name and his thought away from us. It is the sure sign that our pleasures are stolen, either as being wrong in themselves, or much oftener, because we have taken them without being fit for them, have snatched them for ourselves, instead of receiving them at the hands of God. Two of us may be daily doing the very same thing in most respects, -- enjoying actually the very same pleasures, whether of body or of mind; the same exercises, the same studies, the same indulgences, the same society, -- and yet these very same things may belong rightfully to the one, and be stolen by the other. To the one they may come with a double blessing, as the assurance of God's greater love hereafter: to the other, they are but an addition to that sad account, when all good things enjoyed here, having been not our own rightly, but stolen, shall be paid for in over measure, by evil things to be suffered hereafter.
And what I have said of the world, will apply also to life and to death. Oh, the infinite difference whether life is ours, or but stolen for an instant; whether death is ours, our subject, ministering only to our good; or our fearful enemy, our ever keen pursuer, from whose grasp we have escaped for a few short years, but who is following fast after us, and when he has once caught us will hold us fast for ever! Have we ever seen his near approach -- has he ever forced himself upon our notice whether we would or no? But two days since he was amongst us, -- we were, as it were, forced to look upon him. Did we think that he was ours, or that we were his? If we are his, then indeed he is fearful: fearful to the mere consciousness of nature; a consciousness which no arguments can overcome; fearful if it be merely the parting from life, if it be merely the resigning that wonderful thing which we call our being. It is fearful to go from light to darkness, from all that we have ever known and loved, to that of which we know and love nothing. But if death, even thus stingless, is yet full of horror, what is he with his worst sting beside, the sting of our sins? What is he when he is taking us, not to nothingness, but to judgment? He is indeed so fearful then, that no words can paint him half so truly as our foreboding dread of him, and no arguments which the wit of man can furnish can strip him of his terrors.
But what if death too, as well as life, be ours? -- which he is, if we are Christ's; for Christ has conquered him. If he be ours, our servant, our minister, sent but to bring us into the presence of our Lord, then, indeed, his terrors, his merely natural terrors, the outside roughness of his aspect, are things which the merest child need not shrink from. Then disease and decay, however painful to living friends to look upon, have but little pain for him who is undergoing them. For it is not only amidst the tortures of actual martyrdom that Christians have been more than conquerors, -- in common life, on the quiet or lonely sick bed, under the grasp of fever or of consumption, the conquest has been witnessed as often and as completely. It is not a little thing when the faintest whisper of thought to which expiring nature can give utterance breathes of nothing but of peace and of forgiveness. It is not a little thing when the name of Christ possesses us wholly; not distinctly, it may be, for reason may be too weak for this; but with an indescribable power of support and comfort. Or even if there be a last conflict, -- a season of terror and of pain, a valley of the shadow of death, dark and gloomy, -- yet even there Christ is with his servants, and as their trial is so is his love. Thus it is, if death be ours; and death is ours, if we be Christ's. And are we not Christ's? We bear his name, we have his outward seal of belonging to his people, -- can we refuse to be his in heart and true obedience? Would we rather steal our pleasures than enjoy them as our own; steal life for an instant, rather than have it our sure possession for ever? Would we rather be fugitives from death, fugitives whom he will surely recover and hold fast, than be able to say and to feel that death, as well as life is ours, things to come, as well as things present, because we are truly Christ's?

Dragon Age 2: The Black Emporium *UPDATED*
Preorder or I cost 7 dollars...
Bioware is releasing Dragon Age II on March 11th , but the only way to get some great "free" stuff is to pre-order the game by January 11th. Here is what you get.
A download code for a bonus playable character and missions
Downloadable game soundtrack
Exclusive in-game digital armory featuring multiple weapons
Additional downloadable items *UPDATED* – If you pre-ordered before January 11th you gain access to a Mabari Warhound pet (not like a WOW cosmetic pet, this one kills things) as well as the key to the Black Emporium, a shop so diabolical only people crazy enough to pre-order will gain access. What is inside? Nobody knows for sure, although there are rumblings of The Mirror of Transformation which can be used to alter your appearance after the game has already begun.
That's a lot of free stuff
Waaaitt – Hodup, did you say bonus playable character?
I sure did, by simply preordering the game you get access to "The Exiled Prince: Sebastian". I for one have loved all of Bioware's DLC characters: Shale, Kasumi and Zaeed. And truth be told, I went to the store today and pre-ordered two copies. One copy for myself, and one for Dragon Age addicted wife Christinabot.
Take a look at Sebastian in action
Do you guys like the marketing strategy of "giving away" free content to people that pre-order? Or do you feel it's an underhanded way of punishing people that don't pre-order? – Thanks to Derek for the heads up.

Hero Academy has become a bit of an obsession here at Nerd Appropriate HQ. Creators of Orcs Must Die, Robot Entertainment have managed to craft an incredibly fun and addicting asynchronous iOS strategy game. Like any great strategy game Hero Academy is simple to learn, but challenging to master. Game play is an epinephrine infused game of chess, mixed with the random nature of Magic the Gathering.

Yay! That sounds really cool. Is it weird that I'm most excited for the Mabari though?
Pilx January 17, 2011 at 7:58 pm
I understand why they do it…but I don't always like it. Especially because for the most part you have to go to Gamestop who I find horribly shady.
And of course like you said you get "punished" for coming in to a game, even a week late. Sometimes I like to wait and see how a game is before I buy it, crazy.
Obviously with Dragon Age 2 you pretty much know what you are getting in to so it makes sense and all those bonuses sound like a great deal. I need to jump on the Bulletstorm pre-order so I can get my free dick cream.
Ash January 17, 2011 at 9:16 pm
Yeah, I agree. While I love getting "free" stuff for pre-ordering, it has become so commonplace that I feel like I have to pre-order everything just so that I don't miss out. On another note, this Dragon Age 2 stuff looks great.
Scott January 18, 2011 at 9:56 am
IMO, Gamestop is going to sell this game for $60, buy it from you for like $25, then sell it again for $55. Unless EA is getting a cut of this resale, I don't understand why so many digital bits are exclusive only to Gamestop.
Of course, a few months from now a box retail copy of this game will be available for less than the original price, with all of the disc content unlocked*
Notice I didn't say DLC, because most of the time it's not. It's already on the disc, you just need to pay more to get it. Companies would love to sell you their games for $80-$100 upfront, but settle for the installment plans instead.
All this talk of pre-order made me peek at the Dead Space 2 bonuses. A rivet gun EXCLUSIVE to the the pre-order. The fact that I have to pre-order to get that specific gun and there is no other way to do so seems pretty lame.
Although the special edition comes with a fucking Plasma Cutter replica with LEDs that light up when you pull the trigger. Are you kidding? Guess I have to buy it.
Dead Space 2 pre-orders also come with Dead Space Ignition. And if you beat that you get access to the "Hacker Suit" which looks damn awesome. I haven't played Ignition yet.
Scott January 18, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Dead Space ignition is a motion comic with multiple paths and some hacking mini-games. Add a bonus suit to it, and it's worth five bucks, or free with that preorder.
Now the real test of your dedication to Dead Space starts here:

Helicobacter pylori infection in adult obesity-related nephropathy patients under the partial differential network mathematical model-based artificial intelligence health data monitoring
Xu, Pengjie
Chen, Bo
Takshe, Aseel A.
Omar, Khairi Mohamed
Elsevier B.V.
This study aimed to explore the relationship between obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG) and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in adults. Therefore, an artificial intelligence health data monitoring system was established based on the partial differential network mathematical model. The 13C breath test method was applied to detect HP infection in the research objects. A total of 130 patients were included in this study, and rolled into an experimental group (test results were negative) and a control group (test results were positive) according to the results of the 13C breath test. The results showed that there were 83 patients (63.85%) with HP-positive infection and 47 patients (36.15%) with HP-negative infection. The serum creatinine (SCr), 24-hour urine protein level, and the proportions of patients with damaged renal tubules, abnormal retinol-binding protein (RBP), and abnormal N-aceltyl-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) of the patients in the experimental group were markedly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the proportions of patients with global sclerosis, segmental sclerosis, severe fibrosis, and moderate fibrosis in the experimental group were substantially higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05); and the proportions of patients with hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia (HUA), and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the experimental group were greatly higher than the proportions of the control group (P < 0.05). In short, the partial differential network mathematical model-based artificial intelligence health data monitoring system under E-health can obtain the basic information of the patients in real time, and the HP-positive infection was highly expressed in the ORG patients. The renal function damage of patients with HP-positive infection in ORG was more serious than that of patients with HP-negative infection. Thus, HP infection might be related to the process of ORG. © 2021 The Author(s)

Independent Generations – ACC
Independent Mix
Independent Bond
Independents policy for CSR
UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals
Tiedemann Independent A/S and our funds act responsibly in every situation and we have done so for many years. This is also the case for the companies we invest in. We want to address the UN's 17 SDGs sensibly and simply and develop our business in that spirit.
Our goal is to act responsibly and to invest in profitable companies that have a solid foundation and fair business practice, and that comply with the laws and rules in the countries in which they operate. In short, that the companies take on their social responsibility.
Our vision is to use the UN's 17 SDGs as guidelines in the light of a growing population and consumption of resources. In particular guidelines that provide:
better living conditions for people and
change the world more sustainably.
We have chosen the UN's Sustainable Development Goals as the basis for our policy on social responsibility because this is the leading standard in the future.
High-quality companies we invest in
These companies usually act responsibly towards their employees with regard to working environment, employee health and pay because it improves value creation. We avoid companies without guidelines for anti-corruption and equal opportunities.
We look for companies with a particular focus on climate and sustainable business, thereby avoiding long term overconsumption of resources that damage the environment needlessly.
Walk the Talk and Talk the Walk
We want to improve our quality standards and be an ambassador for the SDGs at a tempo that makes us credible. We see it as a process where we are learning along the way. Even though we are a micro-company globally, we want to contribute as much as we can:
Support the real value of our investors' assets, so they
are self-sustaining and create value when needed.
We are inviting engagement with our measures in order to work gradually towards the UN's 17 SDGs. We will continually review our own behavior and investments with regard to the 17 SDGs as well as what progress is being made.
Our goal towards 2030 is to gradually incorporate the UN's 17 SDGs into our investments.
We start with the sustainable dimensions of the Brundtland Report: the
economic and
social, and we add
governance.
We link these 4 dimensions with the 17 SDGs to become better at referring to and reporting on the SDGs.
We avoid companies
We will contact companies which do not clearly communicate their social responsibility to get some clarification. If a company in our view does not live up to standards of proper behaviour and social responsibility or change its behaviour, then we divest.
Talk the Walk
For example, in the spring of 2018 we sold Facebook shares after the data scandal concerning the misuse of personal information. We have chosen not to invest directly in harmful products such as tobacco. In addition, we don't invest in the weapons industry, even though parts of it create security for governmental authorities and democratic states.
We act as a team which develops expertise, trust, and creates opportunities for personal development in a healthy working environment. Social responsibility occurs when we buy materials, digitalize and improve our energy efficiency among other things.
Contributing to Society
Tiedemann Independent makes contributions to charitable and worthwhile organizations, where contributions are not lost in administrative costs and where it makes a difference to the individual and the individual family.
In Denmark we Support

In Ashley Judd's Interview With Diane Sawyer, Harvey Weinstein Is Still Trying to Defend Himself
By Bridget Read
Ashley Judd sat down with ABC News for her first television interview since coming forward to The New York Times with sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein. In an emotional interview with Diane Sawyer that will be broadcast on Thursday, Judd recounted the incident again, saying that she felt shame for a long time afterward but knew she had to speak out.
Judd recalled finding herself in a hotel room, instead of a public place, for a planned business meeting with Weinstein, where he attempted to pressure her to give him a massage and watch him taking a shower. "I fought with this volley of nos, which he ignored," she said. "Who knows? Maybe he heard them as 'maybe,' maybe he heard them as yeses, maybe they turned him on. I don't know." Judd finally begged off by promising that she would entertain him when he won her an Oscar. "He kept coming at me with all this other stuff, and finally I just said, 'When I win an Oscar in one of your movies, okay?' And he was like, 'Yeah, when you get nominated.' And I said, 'No! When I win an Oscar.' And then I just fled. I just fled."
She told Sawyer that she didn't take coming forward—and the likely career and personal repercussions—lightly. Her family, including her mother, country star Naomi Judd, have always been figures of support; they were among the first she told about the incident with Weinstein. Sawyer and Judd also discussed the #MeToo campaign, and the attempts to give a voice to countless other victims of sexual assault and violence across the country, namely those who don't share the platform that Weinstein accusers like Judd, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and others have.
The most surprising part of the interview occurred when Sawyer brought out a photo released by Weinstein, of Judd and Weinstein holding hands at a Vanity Fair Oscar Party. According to Sawyer, Weinstein said that he and Judd were "fine," and that he had even tried to set her up with his brother and former business partner, Bob (who is facing his own accusation of misconduct). Despite Weinstein's reported attempts at rehabilitation, the disgraced movie mogul appears to be back at work—at least when it comes to defending his reputation. For someone allegedly planning a comeback, it's worth noting how precisely it counteracts any remorse he's displayed when he attempts to blame his victims. Judd, for one, was unmoved by his efforts to undermine her account: "That's deny, attack, reverse the order of offender and victim."

Has anyone ever asked you that? How did you respond?
Now that some holiday dust has settled, let me ask you something: Did you send fewer Christmas cards this year than last? Did you receive fewer?
Maybe it's the writer in me, but I'm one of what appears to be a rare-and-vanishing-breed of old-fashioned souls who starts banging out a family Christmas letter each year just after Thanksgiving. Sometimes before. December without an annual family newsletter is like peanut butter without jelly, Aspen slopes without snow, Lucy without Ethel… Well. You get the idea.

Moves Islanders Should Make in the Off-Season
By Michael DeSantis May 27, 2015
The playoffs may be going on, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start analyzing what moves NHL teams should make this offseason. The Islanders will be looking to build on the success of this season with another successful set of summer transactions.
To start, General Manager Garth Snow should look to extend some of the players that were an integral part of the team this season. Anders Lee scored 25 goals this season, the second most on the team behind John Tavares. Lee will be a restricted free agent following the playoffs, giving the team more leeway with getting him signed. Snow would be remiss to not sign Lee to a multiyear deal and lock him up long term. Brock Nelson had a successful sophomore season, scoring 20 goals. Nelson should receive similar treatment as Lee with a nice raise and extension.
While Michal Neuvirth hasn't been a brick wall, a full season as the Islanders backup may do the team well. Backup goalies shouldn't be given large contracts, so Snow should give Neuvirth two years at the most.
A lot of young players are soon to be due for raises. Kyle Okposo, Ryan Strome and Frans Nielsen have one more year on their contracts, but Snow should start looking at his options regarding them. Okposo, who has the potential for stardom in the NHL, will be due for a big payday, as he's only made $2.8 million the past few seasons. He should earn about $5.5 million. Strome, another young stud for the Isles, should receive a multiyear deal as well. Strome is arguably the second-best forward on the team behind Tavares, putting up 50 points for the team. Nielsen's situation is unclear, since he is currently the longest tenured Islander and underpaid at $2.75 million. Nielsen is above average on both sides of the puck and supplies veteran leadership, but he may have to take yet another hometown discount.
The Islanders have some very good young talent waiting in the wings. Forwards Michael Dal Colle and Joshua Ho-Sang and defensemen Griffin Reinhart and Ryan Pulock will all be looking to make the roster next season. It's a bit of a reach for the two forwards, but it's likely that Isles fans will see Reinhart and/or Pulock with the Isles soon. Assuming Snow doesn't re-sign aging veteran Lubomir Visnovsky, one of those young defensemen will take his place. Whoever doesn't replace Visnovsky should replace Brian Strait, who has become the bane of many Islander fans for his lackluster play.
Not much to say regarding trades, because I don't think the Islanders will try to acquire any big names this offseason. They may try to trade Michael Grabner, however. After posting 34 goals in his rookie season, the speedy Grabner has had trouble replicating that success. With the signings of players like Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolay Kulemin, the writing may be on the wall for "Grabs." Snow may shed some salary by flipping Grabner for a draft pick.
While it doesn't seem like it on paper, many Islander fans would argue coaching has held the team back. It will be interesting to see what happens with the head coach, Jack Capuano. Fans feel the Islanders had success was in spite of him, and would have clinched the playoffs long before they did with a better coach. Throughout the year, he's made questionable decisions regarding the lineup, like playing Strait over youngster Calvin de Haan. Assistant coaches Doug Weight and Greg Cronin may see pink slips after the Islanders special teams struggled throughout the regular and postseasons despite solid personnel.

O Apple Cinema Display é uma linha de produtos de monitores tela plana widescreen criada pela Apple Inc.. A Apple inicialmente introduzida com a 22" Apple Cinema Display, em setembro de 1999, a par do Power Mac G4.

A Apple atualizou o Cinema Display em julho de 2000, através da execução de DVI, USB e 25 volts, possíveis através de um único ADC conector. Em março de 2002, a Apple substituiu o 22" com um modelo 23" com apoio integral de uma resolução de 1080 pixels, que foi redesignada para o "Cinema Display HD". Em junho de 2004, o Apple Cinema Display totalmente redesenhado, introduziu a sua linha um 30" Cinema Display HD com um emblemático modelo. Estes modelos mais tarde ganharam um desenho semelhante ao atual iMac Stand, e uma superfície que corresponde a dos Apple's Mac Pro e MacBook Pro computadores. Vêm em 20", 23" e 30" modelos.

Embora concebido para ser emparelhado com computadores Apple, o 20" e 23" modelos são totalmente compatíveis com quaisquer outros computadores pessoais, com saída DVI. Os 30" modelos requerem um computador equipado com um adequado card de vídeo apresentando dupla ligação DVI. (A 30" Cinema HD Display exige uma dupla conexão DVI-link)

Student voters have a chance to make significant changes to the government. Registering them to vote is the first step toward starting the movement.
From Malala to the Parkland teens, young adults crusade for the changes that they want to see in society — even more, they are pushing for the rest of us to join their movement.
Despite the encouragements of these inspiring icons and watching them make strides in the world, it can be easy to conclude that the actions of a regular young adult won't make much of a difference. However, the case is quite the opposite.
The Pew Research Center recently released a report noting that in 2016, 7 million adults between the ages of 18 and 21 were qualified to vote. However, according to Child Trends Data Bank, since young adults became eligible to vote in 1971, voter turnout has been in decline. The report concluded that the decrease in turnout was due to young voters feeling that they were not well-versed in political matters.
Even in the case of University of Iowa Student Government, in which students are automatically registered to vote, turnout is incredibly low: in last year's UISG election, only 5,706 voted of the more than 20,000 undergraduate students. While the facts are disheartening, many organizations are trying to ensure that young adults pay more attention to the upcoming general election.
One of the notable groups pushing the youth vote is NextGen Iowa, which is one of 11 chapters composing parent organization NextGen America, founded by Tom Steyer. NextGen Iowa aims to make progress through political movements; it is active on 32 campuses throughout the state.
A NextGen Iowa representative confirmed that the goal of the group this year is to "turn out young voters in Iowa at unprecedented numbers." Haley Hager, NextGen's state youth director, noted the significance of targeting young voters, saying, "Young people are the largest voting block in Iowa and in the nation." This means that young adults share similar concerns that can be seen in significant trends in voting. NextGen Iowa believes that college students could have a voice in subjects that directly influence them, such as budgeting for public universities and privatizing Medicaid.
NextGen Iowa reports that it helped more than 1,500 people register to vote at the UI, and the organization is well on its way to reaching the goal of getting 8,000 young adults registered before the November election. The organization hopes that by having more conversations with young people, the likelihood of their voting will increase and "chang[e] the political landscape," Hager said.
With the election looming in November, there is a race to get young people ready to vote. Registering to vote can be done online or the forms can be delivered by mail to fill out at home.
Not only is the registration form fairly easy to complete, but the action also has a lasting effect. By registering to vote, young Americans can ensure that their voices are heard by their nation's leaders.


Delta State University, in partnership with various organizations, is committed to advancing community and economic development in the Delta region to improve the quality of life and raise the educational level of its citizens. Through The Delta Center for Culture and Learning and the University Archives Department – two collaborators on the Historic Lomax Mississippi Recordings project – Delta State continues to promote and celebrate the unique heritage of the Delta while also addressing the longstanding social, economic, and cultural challenges that inhibit advancement.
The mission of The Delta Center for Culture and Learning at Delta State University is to promote greater understanding of Mississippi Delta culture and history and its significance to the world through education, partnerships, and community engagement.
The Delta State University Archives Department supports the teaching, research, and public service activities of the University by collecting, preserving, and making accessible historical manuscript collections that document the history and culture of Mississippi in general, and the Mississippi Delta region, in particular. The collections are open to faculty, staff, students, visiting researchers, and the general public.
The Association for Cultural Equity(ACE) was founded by Alan Lomax to explore and preserve the world's expressive traditions with humanistic commitment and scientific engagement. ACE was registered as a charitable organization in the State of New York in 1983, and is housed at New York City's Hunter College.
Inspired by the example set by Alan Lomax, our mission is to stimulate cultural equity through preservation, research, and dissemination of the world's traditional music, and to reconnect people and communities with their creative heritage.
tall-tales and narratives they documented represent a diversity of the black vernacular culture of a region undergoing fundamental social, occupational, and aesthetic change.
The lion's share of material in the Lomax Mississippi collection was amassed in 1941 and 1942, under the auspices of a brilliant collaboration between the Library of Congress and Nashville's Fisk University that was to investigate social and cultural change in the African American communities of Coahoma County, Mississippi, in the heart of the Delta, rapidly modernizing due to increasing agricultural mechanization and the industrial war effort. The key players were Fisk's John Work, who served as the presiding musicologist; sociologist Lewis W. Jones, also at Fisk, and Lomax, folklorist and recordist, representing the Library. Lomax and Jones collected some 27 hours of it over three weeks in the late summers of 1941 and '42. As their investigation was into both urban and rural, the black professional to the tenant farmer, the recordings ran the gamut: sacred and secular, old and new. Of the latter, two of their most fruitful discoveries were two young bluesmen, whose debut recordings they made: David "Honeyboy" Edwards and McKinley Morganfield, or Muddy Waters.
The Association for Cultural Equity, in partnership with Delta State University, received support from National Endowment for the Arts Artworks to digitally transfer, catalog, speed-correct, disseminate and repatriate the 40 hours of John and Alan Lomax's historic 1933-1942 Mississippi recordings. In addition to providing linked lesson plans for educators, repatriating the collection to key cultural institutions in the state, presenting a series of lectures and performances of the material for Mississippi residents and connect with surviving artists or their heirs, ACE and The Delta Center for Culture and Learning provide free access to the complete digital collection through this collaborative website constructed and designed with our institutional partners. This media will be repatriated to the region through digital donations to Delta State University, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and the Blues Archive at the University of Mississippi.

Many Nigerians not benefiting from health care fund_ SGF
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has said that despite the budgetary allocation for the operation of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund, many Nigerians were yet to benefit from the scheme.
According to him, the scheme was established six years ago to provide quality basic health care services to all Nigerians especially the poor, saying that only a few had benefited from it.
A statement by the Director of Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey, quoted the SGF as speaking during the inauguration of the 15-man Committee on Basic Health Care Provision Fund in Abuja on Tuesday.
Mustapha was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Political and Economic Affairs Office, Mr David Adejo.
The statement was titled 'FG set to reform health sector, inaugurates committee.'
It partly read, "Despite the budgetary allocation for the operationalisation of the BHCPF, many Nigerians have not benefitted from it since six years of its establishment. The Joint Working Committee was constituted to provide an effective stakeholders' coordination mechanism towards the actualisation of the Fund.
"Part of the terms of reference for members of the committee is to bring stakeholders up to speed on the status of the Fund, to proffer recommendations as action plans to fast track progress of implementation and to establish the need for the stakeholder coordination framework and other mechanisms to sustain momentum."
Speaking earlier, the Director-General of the Bureau for Public Service Reforms, Mr Dasuki Arabi, said the purpose of establishing the BHCPF was to bring relief to Nigerians who have never experienced proper basic healthcare.
He added that it is in a bid to revive the Fund that the BPSR, with the support of development partners, Civil Society Organisations and Non- Governmental Organisations, undertook an analysis of the current situation of the Fund to uncover the underlying issues and seek a way forward for speedy implementation.
