Life has been busy which is actually ironic because it's Christmas break. I just finished my second-to-last semester of School at APU… Yet graduation doesn't feel any closer. Because I haven't been bloging, I haven't yet had the chance to announce the newest member of my family. My sister-in-law went into labor on December 15th and Jake Thomas Mortier, my newest nephew, was born at 6:15am on December 16th. He still looks kinda like a rodent from the pictures but I haven't seen him in person yet. I'm planning on going down there very soon.
Also, yesterday was my 1st anniversary with my amazing girlfriend Amanda. We went to Julian, ate lunch in the Julian Café, got candy from the candy mine, got cider from the cider mill, got pie from the Julian Pie Company, and then went back to my house and watched Christmas movies. It was a good day!
Good day , I just found you blog today and have enjoyed reading. I am a pastor in Maine! cold and lots of snow on the ground! I pray you have a great Christmas in the Lord. Enjoy that baby , they are a gife from God.


We locked Mike Monteiro in a room at From Business To Buttons here in Stockholm and had a chat. "So, do you want to talk about design or politics?" That was the question that Mike posed to the audience at the start of his presentation earlier in the day.
So we asked Mike the same. Suffice to say, we get into politics, ethics, business culture, and very much into how all of that is part of the fabric of design.

Question / Help Stream super lag. Please help!
Hi guys! Would appreciate a little help with my streaming settings.
I'm using Macbook Pro 15-inches. Mid-2015.
I streamed and added the log link above.
Honestly, from what I can tell nothing seems wrong about your settings.
Your bitrate and upload speed match the criteria, this very well could've been a one time only occurence. Try it again, if nothing changes please refer back to this thread.
You are overloading your machine significantly.
The rendering lag entry means that whatever app you are running and trying to capture is using your GPU resources, leaving not enough for OBS. This can be alleviated by (if the app was a game) by capping framerate and reducing in-game fidelity options. Since you're just capturing a window, I don't actually know what you're capturing.
The "encoding lag" entry is even more serious, it indicates that with the veryfast preset you're dropping nearly all your frames, even at a relatively low resolution. Not sure what is using all your CPU cycles, but if you want to have a chance of getting a decent stream with the setup you're running right now, I'd say drop to Ultrafast and then move the other way if things are OK.
I don't know if you've got some runaway process(es) that are eating resources that they shouldn't be, but if you suspect that is the case, I'd suggest making a new ordinary user account on your machine and using that to create a new, blank profile and scene collection in OBS, and run the Auto-Configuration Wizard from the Tools menu, see what settings it suggests, and then try to run a basic setup similar to what you're trying to do and see if you get the same performance problems. If you do that and everything seems fine-- no lag, no dropped frames, then it's possible that either something in your OBS settings (scene collections, etc) has become corrupted and is causing a problem, or something else in your user account is making the machine run more slowly than it should.
If a new user account and a blank profile/scene collection and a run of the wizard results in the same performance problem, then it looks to me like what you're doing is just out of the range of your hardware.
I do know there are issues with OBS on Mojave and I am not sure I expect them all to be addressed satisfactorily as Apple is in the process of deprecating OpenGL (which OBS depends on under MacOS) in favor of Metal. Some capture methods that work on High Sierra and below either don't function or are non-performant. I myself am currently opting not to upgrade to Mojave on any machine that I depend upon to work with OBS.

"The mechanical principles on which Osteopathy is based are as old as the universe."
A.T. Still
WORLDWIDE ALLIANCE
OF EQUINE OSTEOPATHS
Equine Osteopathy is the specific application of the principles and standards developed in human osteopathy, translated, adapted and modified to the unique structure and physiology of the equine. Equine Osteopathy is a manual therapy that works successfully with veterinary medicine to aid horses in staying healthy even with the unnatural demands that are placed on them in their life with people.
The first school of osteopathy, the American School of Osteopathy was founded by Dr. Still in Kirksville, Missouri in 1892. In the early 1900's, a student of Dr. Still, John M. Littlejohn, DO, introduced osteopathy to England and founded the British School of Osteopathy. From England, schools of Osteopathy were later founded in Europe and other parts of the world. In the British and European schools, Osteopathy has stayed true to its manual therapy origins. In the United States, training of osteopaths has evolved to align more closely with conventional medical training and manual therapy techniques are less often seen as a primary therapy approach.
In 1970, French veterinarian Dominique Giniaux began to employ osteopathic principles with horses and is considered the founder of equine osteopathy. Other veterinarians and osteopaths followed and began utilizing osteopathic concepts for animals both large and small.
By 2002, French osteopath Pascal Evrard had combined and further developed the early principles and techniques to a more structured and safer method. Through collaboration with Janek Vluggen, DO, MRO, EDO, who brought his expertise in visceral osteopathic principals (in relation to the autonomic nervous system and craniosacral system) to the effort, the two osteopathy school classmates continued in developing equine osteopathy into an independent complementary specialization. With the untimely deaths of Pascal Evard in 2003 and Dr. Giniaux in 2004, Janek Vluggen has carried on the efforts to educate veterinarians and other equine professionals as Equine Osteopaths, EDO®, as well as expand scientific validation of equine osteopathy.
Formal education and research in equine osteopathy is growing. Curriculums offering equine osteopathic training exist around the world, with numerous schools located in Europe. The Vluggen Institute for Equine Osteopathy and Education, based in Germany, is the only school that offers training in the United States.
An American medical doctor, Dr. Andrew Still, developed osteopathy as a treatment method for humans in the late 1800's. He defined osteopathy as "a system of 'engineering' the whole body, that keeps the communication with the brain open, and prevents all possible blood and liquids stasis." A more current definition is that osteopathy is an art, a science and a philosophy of treatment based on scientific principles. The science is based on precise knowledge of structural and functional anatomy of the bones, muscles, circulatory system and, especially, the nervous system. Osteopathy approaches the body as an entity with interaction between the three main systems: the parietal (the structure), the visceral (the physiology), and the craniosacral (the energetic). The body has specific alarm and protection systems that, when working optimally, allow the body to heal itself and stay healthy. The art of osteopathy is the performance of manual therapy and stimulation of the whole body with the goal of re-harmonizing the body to keep these self-correcting systems working optimally.

'For her, it's a liberation': World's oldest person dies in her sleep
Liam James
Sister Andre on the eve of her 117th birthday in 2021 (AFP/Getty)
The world's oldest person has passed away aged 118.
Lucile Randon, who took the name of Sister Andre when she joined a Catholic charitable order in 1944, was born on 11 February 1904.
She assumed the title of oldest person alive last April at the age of 118 and 73 days, not long after claiming the record for the oldest survivor of Covid-19.
Sister Andre's nursing home in Toulon, France shared news of her death on Monday. She died in her sleep, spokesperson David Tavella said.
"There is great sadness but … it was her desire to join her beloved brother. For her, it's a liberation," Mr Tavella, of the Sainte-Catherine-Labouré home, told AFP.
Guinness World Records said Sister Andre had lived through the invention of plastic, television, microwave ovens, the internet and smart phones.
1904, the year of her birth, saw the opening of New York's first subway line, the beginning of work on the Panama Canal and the signing of the Entente Cordiale between Britain and France.
The events of the First World War, which she saw as a young girl, stayed with her throughout her life. In 2020 she told French radio: "I've had plenty of unhappiness in life and during the 1914-1918 war when I was a child, I suffered like everyone else."
During World War II, Sister Andre worked as a teacher and a governess, before going on to work at a hospital in Vichy for 28 years.
She later dedicated her life to religious service and became a Catholic nun. She was made an honorary citizen in Toulon, where she moved in her final years, in 2019 and even received a letter from Pope Francis.
Sister Andre is interviewed by the press in April 2022 (AFP/Getty)
The nun claimed her secret to long life was work. "They say that work kills, me it was work that made me live, I worked until I was 108", she said in April 2022.
She was also known to have a daily glass of wine.
In her later years she was blind, confined to a wheelchair and partially deaf.
Sister Andre was the second-oldest European person ever recorded, around four years short of the record 122 years and 164 days set by Jeanne Calment – the oldest person in history.
After the sister caught Covid-19 in January 2021, she was asked by local news if the illness had scared her.
She said: "No, I wasn't scared, because I wasn't scared to die.
"I'm happy to be with you, but I would wish to be somewhere else – to join my big brother, and my grandfather and my grandmother," she said.

Jeff Ziemba threw five touchdown passes and added another score on the ground to lead the Rattlers to a 62-26 road win Saturday over the Green Bay Blizzard. With the win, Kevin Guy moved into a tie with Danny White for the most all-time wins (141) as Rattlers coach.
The Rattlers will return home May 20 to face the Iowa Barnstormers.

Where: Resch Center, Ashwaubenon, Wis.
Streaming: YouTube.
Update: The Rattlers (8-1), in first place by 1 1/2 games over Iowa, have five games left before the playoffs. A win would move coach Kevin Guy into a tie with Danny White for most all-time wins (141) as Rattlers coach. Guy took over as head coach in 2008, had a year in which there was no league, and, from 2011-14, led the Rattlers to four consecutive ArenaBowl championship appearances, winning three in a row. He led the Rattlers to the United Bowl title in their first season in the Indoor Football League last year. "We've had a heck of a run," Guy said. "We've been able to bring some good people in the organization. I've got some really good assistant coaches. I've got good ownership. Great support staff. That's a win-win for everybody."
Kevin Guy's next win will tie him with Danny a white for most all-time Rattlers coaching wins Richard Obert, azcentral sports
Hawthorne to be honored
Anttaj Hawthorne becomes the first player from the Kevin Guy coaching era to go into the Rattlers' Ring of Honor.
Hawthorne, a noseguard who was a key part of three consecutive Rattlers' ArenaBowl victories, will have his No. 77 jersey go into the Talking Stick Resort Arena rafters on May 27, the Rattlers' next home game, against the Nebraska Danger.
Hawthorne, who retired after the Rattlers broke away from the Arena Football League and joined the Indoor Football League last year, is the Rattlers' all-time sacks leader.
He was one of the first players the Rattlers signed when Guy became head coach and general manager in 2008.
Hawthorne joins quarterback Sherdrick Bonner, receiver/linebacker Hunkie Cooper and wide receiver/defensive back Randy Gatewood from the Danny White coaching era to make the Rattlers' Ring of Honor.

Souter Sports construct new Crown Green
by Lucy Nicholls
in Bowls
1 Souter Sports construct new Crown Green
Following a competitive tendering process, Souters Sports, the UK's leading crown green construction contractors, were chosen to construct the new bowling green on a former decaying factory site for Budenberg Bowling Club in Broadheath, near Stockport.
The new bowling green, which also sits beside a canal, had previously been situated across the road. As part of a new housing development, the previous bowling green and club house, along with the factory where the new green is now situated, were demolished to make way for a brand new state-of-the art green and club house.
The construction took around seven weeks to complete and also included main and lateral drainage installation, concrete channel installation, green construction, path installation and final surface installation along with a full automated irrigation system to ensure that the green plays to a consistently high standard for players.
During the construction, Souters Sports team of in-house operatives were presented with challenging weather conditions but worked professionally and efficiently to successfully reach the completion of the project on budget in the proposed timescales.
Souters Sports are renowned for their attention to detail when it comes to knowing about fine turf which comes from over 50 years of experience in the sportsturf industry, and it was this experience, along with the use of specialized equipment, which led them to winning the contract.
"From the very first site visit and throughout the whole process, Souters Sports were professional but friendly with a can-do attitude and flexible enough to deal with any issues that cropped up, such as the wet weather we experienced throughout the last 12 months", said Graham Lloyd, from Bloor Homes, the housing developer.
"In what could only be called horrendous weather conditions at times, Souters Sports managed to complete the work as specified and on time".

QB Kyler Murray's Comments on CeeDee Lamb a Reminder of Cowboys Luck
It's difficult to get over the Dallas Cowboys drafting Wide Receiver CeeDee Lamb. As we look ahead to the 2020 NFL season, the rookie from Oklahoma is perhaps the one player fans are more excited about. Considered by many the biggest steal of this year's Draft with the 17th pick, Lamb was expected to be picked in the Top 15, maybe even Top 10.
The floor for Lamb seemed to be the Denver Broncos with the 15th pick. Before them, potential landing spots for Lamb included the San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Bucs, Las Vegas Raiders. But as it turns out, there might've been another NFC team with a Top 10 pick that could've taken CeeDee Lamb's talent elsewhere.
On Wednesday, Quarterback Kyler Murray confirmed he lobbied the Arizona Cardinals to draft Lamb.
#Cardinals QB Kyler Murray confirmed to reporters today that he lobbied the team to draft former Oklahoma teammate CeeDee Lamb at No. 8 in the Draft: "Hell, I play quarterback. You can never have too many weapons."
This isn't at all surprising, considering Murray paired up with Lamb during his time playing for the Oklahoma Sooners. After being drafted with the first overall pick in 2019, Kyler played lights out as a rookie and is one of the most promising young quarterbacks in the league.
CeeDee Lamb would've been a great weapon to add to a dynamic offense led by Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury. Just imagine the Cardinals' offense featuring Larry Fitzgerald and DeAndre Hopkins and adding Lamb. He was, after all, considered by many the best wide receiver prospect in this year's rookie class.
However, it would've been difficult for the Cardinals to let Isaiah Simmons fall beyond pick #8. Simmons' versatility made him one of the most coveted defensive players of the year and Arizona won't regret drafting him over Lamb. However, you can't help wondering what could've been.
Instead, you know the story. CeeDee Lamb was drafted by Jerry Jones while he sat on his superyacht and the Cowboys began what now seems like a very dominant Draft.
Lamb arrives just in time for an offense that'll be driven by Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore. While the Cowboys already had a very solid starting duo of receivers, there wasn't anything close to a clear-cut third starter. The Cowboys get just that in Lamb, whose run-after-catch abilities will give Dak Prescott an additional big-play threat in the passing game.
Kyler Murray's comments serve as a reminder of how fortunate the Cowboys were to find Oklahoma's product with the 17th pick. In any normal year, social media timelines would surely be featuring a handful of impressive plays in the team's workouts. However, due to the current situation, players won't be reporting to team facilities until July.
It's nice to hear Kyler Murray say he would've liked to have Lamb on his huddle.
The bright side for the Cardinals Quarterback is that he'll get a chance to say hello to his old teammate on October 19th, when his team visits the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium for a Monday Night Football showdown in Week 6.
But CeeDee Lamb will be wearing the silver and blue with #88 on his back. If all goes according to plan, he'll be having one hell of a rookie season, too. But hey, in the meantime, remember how we mentioned not having Lamb practice videos on our timelines? This is the closest thing out there and it's awesome. Enjoy.
Cowboys fans will love to see it:

Lamb is going to start in the slot but if Dallas was truely wise about using him, they will use him at all the receiver positions. I would even put him at TE. Give the defense lots of looks and make them spend extra time preparing for him. I would even motion him out of the backfield in a 2 back set to get him isolated on a LBer. Mayhem.

I can't wait for the season to start. As a lifelong Oklahoma fan, I saw CD lamb takeover games and make defenses look turtle inept. I, for one, temper this with the fact that the big 12 is not known for defense. However, CD did get over a hundred yards vs LSU in the championship playoff series last year. I look forward to his progress as a Dallas cowboy. Go cowboys
Kellen Moore — a decision has yet to be made


Geoffrey Robertson QC explains how to avoid war in the Middle East and a catastrophic nuclear disaster.
- What is worse: Iran getting the bomb or America bombing Iran?
- Will our children ever live in a world without nuclear weapons?
- Will a nuclear explosion change the climate before climate change does?
In Mullahs Without Mercy, Geoffrey Robertson explores these and other awesome questions that arise from Iran's potential for acquiring the bomb. The scramble for nuclear weapons by brutal or unstable regimes poses the clearest present danger to the peace and the climate of the world.
This ground-breaking book exposes Iran's crimes against prisoners and dissidents, perpetrated by the very same mullahs who may soon have their fingers on nuclear triggers. But it argues that America has no legal right to attack, as Israel – hypocritically hiding its own nuclear arsenal – demands. In this vividly written and authoritative book, one of our highest-profile legal minds shows how the mushroom cloud hovering over the Middle East might yet have a silver lining – forcing the world to reassert the rule of international law, which could lead to the elimination of a weapon with the power to destroy us all.

Dorchester & District Labour Party
Local Elections 2019 Results
Petition shows councillors need to get the message on housing
Labour has attacked the Liberal Democrat opposition to building new homes in Dorchester. Claudia Sorin, of Dorchester Labour, says 'We were shocked to read of the Liberal Democrat position, which smacks of nimbyism. They say 'we do not need so many houses' but Dorchester is desperately short of housing for local families and key workers. I challenge councillors to find a two bedroom flat in the town for much less than £200 a week to rent on the open market. We have just delivered a 1216 signature petition asking West Dorset council to provide more affordable housing'.
Labour argues that any new housing such as on the Charminster to Cokers Frome site does need to be the right sort of housing, genuinely affordable for local people, so that the town can carry on thriving and developing as a community. A recent Labour Freedom of Information request shows that since 2011 the council received over £500,000 from developers wanting to avoid their local plan responsibility to ensure some of their projects are affordable. Labour says the Council should spend all of that money on affordable housing, perhaps by giving some to the new Community Land Trust. But they should also toughen up their procedures. Claudia says 'During the prison fiasco we gave the council lots of advice about how other councils get better deals out of developers, but they have not toughened up their procedures. As a result, the town is likely to be ripped off again in this next wave of development. We are also disappointed they are not taking the proposal to include housing in the Dorchester Town redevelopment seriously.'
Dorchester Labour Condemns Councillors for Abandoning Dorchester Residents in Need of Affordable Housing
The prison is set to become a gated community again but this time of luxury flats and houses that local key workers will not be able to afford. Barry Thompson of Dorchester Labour said 'Dorchester residents paid for that prison over centuries, it was a public asset, and when the government sold it as part of a job lot of four prisons for £5 million, West Dorset District Councillors should have made it clear to developers that they would have to stick to the Council's own target of 35% affordable. Instead Conservatives and Liberal Democrat councillors have just accepted the developers' figures and incredible claims they won't make a profit'.
He adds 'Other councils up and down the country have got wise to developers, why can't we? This firm boasts of record profits over the last few years and by the time they have built and sold all these flats they will have made another record profit. But the Council will not make them publish their figures and will not even find a way to claw back some money for Dorchester if at the end they have made more of a profit than they claim. Our public building, but developers profit. We have been ripped off again'.
Update on Dorchester Prison Site development (BBC & Dorset Echo webpages)
Both the Dorset Echo and the BBC are reporting on a view that affordable housing is not viable on the prison site. Please watch this website for further developments.
Why is Labour campaigning about the Dorchester Prison Development
We believe that developers should stick to the District Council plan that all developments should include 35% of 'Affordable' housing. This should be available to local residents below the market price.
We have discovered that the housing waiting list in West Dorset is 1,094 applications of which 108 are homeless or threatened with homelessness. That is why we are campaigning for affordable housing in Dorchester and West Dorset.
According to the Office of National Statistics, there are now 3.3 million 20 to 34 year olds living with their parents that`s more than any time since 1996.
Young people should have the chance to own or rent homes for themselves and not be reliant on 'the bank of Mum & Dad'. West Dorset needs a building programme that helps young people get their own home. We will continue to fight for better and fairer housing solutions in our area. We want policy makers to see things the same way.
We must have 35% Affordable Housing!
Housing Forum Team
Local Labour members attended Dorchester Town Council's planning meeting on the 4th January to express concerns over the planned prison site development. Forum Members Claudia Sorin and Anna Killick asked the Town Council to Pressure the District Council to publish the full viability assessment into affordability on the site.
Claudia Sorin went on to ask the council to hold its planned meeting with City & Country in public so that residents could hear the full debate with the developers. The council refused!
Lee Rhodes asked the council to press for a full disclosure of all data collected by City & Country during their recent consultation on the development plans. Labour want to ensure the level of public support for affordable housing on the site is made clear.
Members of the public can still contribute comments to the District Council web-site up until that date. http://webapps.westdorset-weymouth.gov.uk/PlanningApps/Pages/Planning.aspx?App=WD%2fD%2f15%2f002840

Labour hail public housing meeting a success
Dorchester & District Labour Party have hailed their recent public meeting as a significant step forwards for those who want a home in Dorchester.
Local Labour Chairman Barry Thompson said "The high numbers of people attending the meeting and the strength of their feeling clearly show that housing is a serious and important issue in Dorchester. Some people discussed their personal experiences including earning a reasonable wage yet still being unable to buy a home. Others mentioned how they can't save for a deposit because private renting costs are so high."
Event organiser Claudia Sorin said, "There was some anger from people who want a home in West Dorset. The audience indicated that some of the key issues to be tackled in West Dorset include a shortage of social housing; the right to buy schemes making the housing situation worse and private rents being too expensive and insecure. There was also support for stronger regulation of landlords to address the problems faced by many tenants. "
Labour will be forming a housing pressure group in Dorchester in the new year to raise these important issues with those who have power and influence over housing in the County Town.
Barry Thompson added "We in the Labour Party want to express our thanks to the event speakers Graham Colls (Magna), Cllr Tim Yarker (WDDC) and Catherine Parker (Shelter). However, we also want to express our disappointment at the non attendance of City & Country, the prison site developers, who could have given their 'developers' view on housing."
South West MEP's concerns for West Dorset housing crisis
Clare Moody, Labour MEP in the South West has given her support to the public meeting on housing hosted by Dorchester & District Labour Party.
Clare said, "Home ownership is fast becoming a distant dream for many in the South West. Housing is becoming more and more unaffordable with the average house now 10-times the average yearly wage. This is excluding more and more families from owning a home."
"Every family in West Dorset should be able to own their own home or have security of tenure in rented accommodation. I am delighted that a local Labour Party branch has taken such a bold step and arranged for a public meeting to take place to discuss the matter more fully."
Dorchester & District Labour Party have been campaigning on housing for over a year. They have called the meeting as housing was a big talking point on the doorstep in recent elections.
Dorchester Labour have received answers to a Freedom of Information request from West Dorset District Council which showed that a family needing a 2 or 3 bedroom house could be on the Council's waiting list for 8 to 10 years.
Clare Moody added " If home ownership is to be a realistic aspiration for working people, and if rents are to be affordable, then we need a step change in the scale of house building not just in West Dorset but in the entire South West. We look forward to the views of residents as they attend this meeting."
Why a public meeting on Housing?
We will let this family answer that!
Public Meeting to discuss the future of Housing in West Dorset
On the 25th November 2015 at 7pm Dorchester and District Labour party will be holding a public meeting at the Corn Exchange to discuss affordable housing both to rent and buy, with the citizens of West Dorset.
Claudia Sorin of Dorchester Labour said "We will be holding a public meeting across the road from the latest private development. We want to get the views of families in the area who are being priced out of the housing market due to the lack of supply at locally affordable prices."
Claudia said "Dorchester's residents are facing a housing crisis the likes of which it has not seen in generations. The Government has presided over the lowest level of house building in peacetime since the 1920s. The consequence is that families are being priced out of local housing whether this is renting or buying. We know there is real demand for both first time and family homes in the area."
Figures obtained by Labour under the Freedom of Information Act show that the wait for a 3 bedroom house can be up to 8 years with a 2 bed flat being up to 10 years.
Claudia continued "This simply is not good enough. Should we have luxury second homes built in Dorchester, when we can't provide homes for our existing residents?"
Labour believes West Dorset District Council should take action to tackle the housing crisis by requesting private developers build real affordable housing, whether to rent or buy to help deal with the growing housing problem in West Dorset. Labour will be inviting the other 4 political parties in the area to attend as they need to make a positive contribution to this debate.
Chairman announced for public meeting on Housing
Dorchester and District Labour Party have announced that Dorchester local resident, Chris Williams has agreed to chair the public meeting on housing on the 25th November in the Corn Exchange.
Chris said, "I was delighted to be asked to chair such an important local debate. I have lived in the centre of Dorchester for many years. Like others, I am concerned that many of the younger generation may never be able to afford to live in their home town."
Dorchester Labour party have also announced the key organisations invited to take part in the public meeting. Invitations to speak have gone to representatives at Shelter, Magna Housing Association, City & Country - the developers of the Dorchester Prison site and the Councillor for housing at West Dorset District Council.
Claudia Sorin of Dorchester Labour said, "We wanted to ensure that residents could ask questions of key stakeholders in the future of housing in the Town and District. We are inviting housing providers from both the profit and not for profit sectors along with the council and those who have to deal with housing problems."
Members of the public with views or questions on the future of housing are encouraged to attend the event to be held at the Corn Exchange.

I John 1-5: Walking in the Light.
Daily Reading: I John 1-5.
Background: The first of three letters that have been persevered, I John is attributed to the Apostle John, author of the gospel that bears his name. The letter is written to what would seem to be believers that the aged apostle held in his care, who he calls his little children several times throughout the epistle. The work was written in part to combat a false teaching that had arisen about Jesus, saying that He did not come in the flesh, but rather only in spirit. John focuses on love and obedience, giving his audience ways of knowing whether or not they were true believers though their actions. We can learn much from the wise apostle though his letter, as it was written to believers just as those of us today.
Walking in the light: From the opening of the letter, John addresses one of the main false teachings that had crept in among the believers that Jesus had not come in the flesh, but on in the spirit. He affirms that they had been there from the beginning with Jesus, seen Him in the flesh and not proclaimed to the world eternal life. John tells them these things so that just as they had fellowship with Jesus on this earth, now all the believers may have fellowship with one another. This concept of fellowship would continue throughout the rest of the chapter as John talks about having fellowship with God by walking in the light. The second half of this chapter is a very important teaching as it shows the difference between sinning and living in sin. If we say that we have fellowship with the Lord but walk in darkness, we are lying and not practicing the truth. However, John would go on to make it clear that no one is sinless, and if we say that we have no sin, we are also deceiving ourselves. Verse seven here is the key to understanding this, where John says that if we are walking in the light (genuinely attempting to live the Christian life), then the blood of Christ continually cleanses us from sin. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and will forgive our sins, cleansing us from all unrighteousness. Thus, we are to walk in the light. If we fall, we should get back up and try again. The Lord knows our weakness, and He knows that we struggle with sin. That was the purpose of sending Jesus to die for our sin, that we might live for Him. There is a difference between sinning (and getting back up) and living in sin (not coming to repentance), and that difference is the cleansing of Christ's blood. This concept is continued and expounded on in the next chapter, 2:1-6.
The teaching of Christ: At the opening of this chapter, John continues his discourse from the last chapter, wiring so that his audience would be encouraged not to sin, but if they did, they would know that they had an advocate with the Father who is the propitiation of our sins. One cannot claim to know Christ (in the sense of following Him) without keeping His commandments. This is the first test that John gives to the believers to see if they are truly abiding in Christ, examining whether or not they are keeping His commandments (see John 14:15, 15:10). John then comments on the commandment that they had had from the beginning, that they love one another, for if anyone hated his brother, he was still in darkness. The one who walks in darkness has no fellowship with the Savior, as we see from the first chapter. John then addresses several specific groups of people he is writing to and why he is writing to them, giving each specific complements and encouragement.
John goes on to remind his little children who they are and how they are supposed to behave in this world. He tells us not to love the world or the things in the world, that is our fleshly (sinful) desires and things that will lead to sin. These are not from the Father and are passing away. But eternal life is given to those who walk in the light. He warns against antichrists who have gone out among them, departing from the faith and denying the deity of Christ. The term 'antichrist' makes a lot of sense in this context, as these were teachers who were essentially teaching against Christ, though they acted as though they were of the faith. John makes it clear that anyone who denies the son does not abide in the Father. These teachers were doing nothing but trying to deceive sincere believers. John gives the believers encouragement to abide in the Lord just as he has been explaining to them by practicing rightcoenssess, so that we may not be ashamed at His coming.
Love: John continues his discussion about the second coming of Christ at the onset of this chapter, noting the love that God has for us that we might be made like Jesus at His coming. We are the children of God now, but in that day we will be transformed through His power. Then John makes it abundantly clear that continual sin, or the practice of sinning, is lawlessness and separation from the Lord. He says that no one who abides in Him keeps on sinning, tying what he is saying here back to what he teaches in the first chapter. Do we all have sin? Yes. Are we to continue in sin? Absolutely not. John actually says that whoever continues in sin is of the devil and not of God. We must strive to defeat sin, and when we do fall, we must continually get back up and try again. In this, the blood of Christ will continually cleanse us. But in the continuation of sin, we show that we actually have no fellowship with Christ at all. We have been born of God, and thus we cannot make a practice of sinning.
Closely related, we also cannot be born of God and hate our brother at the same time. John reminds us the importance of loving one another and draws upon the example of Cain to show the evil of hatred and murder (see Genesis 4). We are to be dead to sin and alive to Christ, for we are born of God (see Romans 6:1-11). In this, we are not to be surprised when the world hates us, for they are not of God. But we are to love one another, showing ourselves as disciples of Christ. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer and does not have eternal life abiding in him (see Matthew 5:21-22). Just as Jesus laid down His life for us, so are we to love one another. We are not to love in talk or word only, but in deed. This is another test that John gives to us to determine whether or not we are disciples indeed. If we pass the test, we have assurance that we are in Him, even when our very hearts condemn us (we are often too hard on ourselves). God is greater than our hearts, and if our heart doesn't condemn us, then we have all the more confidence before God. Whoever keeps His commandments abides in God, and God in Him. Let us put our spiritual walk to the test.
1. Testing the teaching: In the opening of this chapter, John charges the believers not to just accept everything they hear, but rather test the teaching to see whether it is of God or not. He warns that many false teachers have gone out into the world. Anyone who came to them and taught against Christ, saying that He had not come in the flesh or that He was not the son of God, was a false prophet/teacher. They were not to listen to such teaching, for it was deception and not of God. They were to overcome these false teachers, listing to John and the other apostles who were from God. John said that whoever listens to them knows God, but whoever did not listen to them is not from God. This was another way to tell if the false prophets were from God or not. Note that the specific false prophets that John was contending against were those who were denying Jesus' deity and/or saying He had not come in the flesh, which is the context of his statement "every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God." Certainly there have been many since then who affirm that Jesus came in the flesh but teach false teachings about Christ and Christianity. However, John was combating a specific group of people and teaching here.
2. God is love: After warning about false teaching, John again emphasizes the love that we should have for one another, for love is from God. God is love. We are not born of God if we do not have love for one another. John makes this abundantly clear, almost as though he was making sure that his audience could in no way miss his point. We love Him because He first loved us and sent His Son to be a propitiation for our sins. Again, this is the test that John says we should put ourselves through to determine if we are true believers: do we love one another? Anyone who loves God must love his brother. If we love one another, God abides in us and His love is perfected in us.
Believing in Jesus: Wrapping up his letter, John encourages the believers by reminding them that anyone who had been born of God overcomes the world. This is our victory- faith in Jesus. Our status as children of God is made evident by our love for Him, in that we keep His commandments and His commandments are not burdensome to us. John then goes on to talk about how Jesus came by water and by blood, and that the Spirit, water and blood all agree and testify to Christ. This seems to be a reference to baptism, or at least a parallel to baptism, as we reach the blood and the Spirit though this surrender to God and acceptance of His grace (see Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-11, Colossians 2:8-15). Whoever has the Son has eternal life. John writes these things to the believers that we might know that we have eternal life. If we love one another and walk in the light, we can be assured that the love of the Father is in us and we can have confidence towards Him. Anyone who is born of God does not keep sinning. But those who continue in righteousness abide in Him and have everlasting life. Note at the end of the letter John says, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." In context, he says nothing about physical idols as we think of them. However, he does talk about the love of God and abiding in His commandments. Anything that holds precedent over God in our hearts, as told by our actions and the time we spend with it, is an idol. John is warning us against these idols, these things that take the place of God. Let us be vigilant and keep ourselves from idols, ever placing the Lord as first in all aspects of our lives.

(Houston, Texas - May 22, 2012) The APQC board of directors has elected Dr. Carla O'Dell chief executive officer for APQC, effective May 16, 2012. She previously served as president of the benchmarking and best practices research organization. She succeeds Dr. C. Jackson Grayson, APQC's founder, chairman, and CEO, who will assume the role of executive chairman. The board also named Lisa Higgins, current chief operating officer, as president/COO.
"Jack Grayson's early and sustained efforts to help companies improve productivity and quality have enhanced the competitiveness of countless organizations for almost four decades. For the past 15 years he has focused on helping the U.S. public education sector restructure and improve student achievement and system performance through the use of process management and benchmarking. In his new role, he will continue that work full-time," said Carl G. Thor, chairman of the board of directors for APQC and president of JarrettThor International. "We can find no more fitting individual to take the helm than Carla O'Dell, who has been with APQC since near its founding 35 years ago. With her keen ability to identify trends and shape research, we foresee continued growth, leadership, and innovation for APQC and its members."
O'Dell noted "It is a great privilege to be asked to lead APQC. Jack's improvement mission and mindset as well as his tireless energy have had a profound impact on our staff, our APQC members, and our society. Lisa and I are honored and dedicated to continue this important work to help organizations make best practices their practices."
Grayson founded the American Productivity & Quality Center in 1977 as a means to halt the decline in American productivity, growth, and competitiveness that he identified while serving as the chairman of the U.S. Price Commission under President Nixon. During his tenure, Grayson and APQC co-founded the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in collaboration with ASQ, established the International Benchmarking Clearinghouse, developed the Process Classification FrameworkSM, and launched the APQC Education Initiative.
Considered one of the world's leading experts in knowledge management (KM), O'Dell has served as APQC president since 1994 and in leadership roles since joining in 1978. Under her direction APQC has built the world's largest body of actionable best practices for KM. She is the co-author of The New Edge in Knowledge: How Knowledge Management is Changing the Way We Do Business (Wiley, 2011), The Executive's Role in Knowledge Management (APQC, 2004), and If Only We Know What We Know: The Transfer of Internal Knowledge and Best Practice (The Free Press, 1998). O'Dell has a bachelor's degree from Stanford University, a master's from the University of Oregon, and a doctorate from the University of Houston.
Spearheading many departments and initiatives since joining APQC in 1993, Higgins has served as COO since 2000. She led APQC's work to create Open Standards BenchmarkingSM, which standardized processes and measurements to benchmark. The project has grown into the world's largest database of performance analytics, benchmarks, and best practices with more than 7,000 organizations. She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston.
