the Gospel

Good News

The Gospel literally means “good news.” In the Bible, the gospel is the good news regarding who God is and what He accomplished in the person and work of Jesus Christ – namely our salvation. The entire Bible tells the story of the lengths that God went to in order to bring glory to Himself and save sinners. Scripture prepares us for the gospel, recalls the events of the gospel, and celebrates the triumphs of the gospel throughout its pages.

Daily Gospel

We are all about the gospel, not only for salvation but for living every single moment. We realize that the gospel is just as necessary for the new believer as someone who has walked with God for decades. The gospel is to be regarded not as elementary to our Christian walk but of “first importance” (1 Corinthians 15:1-3). Scripture says that the gospel is the “power of God” (Romans 1:16) and it affirms the reality that when we are consumed with the gospel that we are transformed by it (2 Corinthians 3:18; 4:4). We recognize the fact that we become more like Christ, grow in our love for Him, and bring Him glory as we experience the gospel in all of its fullness. We experience the gospel by daily, moment by moment, thinking about it, listening to it, speaking it, living it out, standing in it, and hoping in it. In order to experience the gospel, we must daily go to the cross and study what it proclaims about who God is, what He’s done, who we were, and what we’ve become. As we daily experience the gospel in all of its fullness we will find ourselves, our relationship with God, and our relationship with others transformed.

Jesus Christ

Who He Is

The Bible declares both the full and complete deity and humanity of Jesus Christ. Thus, Jesus Christ is one person with two distinct natures. In His deity, Jesus Christ has eternally existed as God (John 1:1-3). He is the second Person of the Triune Godhead – God the Son (Matthew 28:19). He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe (John 1:3; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:2), the sovereign King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16), Yahweh Himself (John 8:24, 58). He is thus holy, omnipotent, omniscient, and immortal. Jesus Christ in his incarnation became fully human and took on a human nature with a human will and emotions. He was born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life even though he was tempted as we are (Hebrews 4:15).

What he did

Jesus came to earth with a purpose: “To seek and save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). He came as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Jesus, by dying on the cross, endured a death that He did not deserve and became the substitutionary sacrifice in the place of wicked and guilty mankind. On the cross, Jesus took upon Himself the sin of man and endured the full weight of the wrath of God so that we might be delivered from our sins.

How We Must Respond

Jesus came as a Savior, because apart from Him there is no salvation from sin and eternal death found anywhere else. Jesus Himself said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6). Thus, Jesus was declaring that men must embrace Him as not only their Sovereign Lord but as their Savior. The Scriptures declare:  “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). Thus, God calls us to place all of our faith into the person and work of Jesus Christ in order to experience salvation. When we, through repentance, turn from our sin and place our faith in Jesus Christ, we experience salvation and are born again to a living hope that includes an eternal relationship with God Himself.

Be Saved

The Problem

The Bible declares that we need to be saved.  This implies that we have a problem we need to be rescued from. Scripture is clear that our problem is sin and the consequences of sin – death.  Romans 3:23 says: “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”  Genesis says, “the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5).  The Bible is equally clear that the just penalty for our sin against God is death, both physical and eternal.  “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).  “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8).

The Solution

Without God’s intervention, the situation regarding mankind’s dilemma would be hopeless.  But, God who is rich in mercy and love, ordained from eternity past that He Himself would provide the solution by sending His own Son.  “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).  Jesus Christ, God the Son, took upon Himself the wrath of God that we rightfully deserved to endure.  Isaiah says: “But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.  All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him” (Isaiah 53:5-6).

The Way

The Bible declares that the benefits of Jesus Christ’s death can only be received by faith.  We are called to place all of our faith in Jesus.  “Whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).  To believe in Jesus is not only to believe the truth about Him but to entrust all of yourself to Him, depending upon Him entirely, not only for your salvation but your existence.  To believe in Jesus means you turn away from your sin to follow Him in faith and obedience. We would love to talk to you further about the amazing truth of Jesus and the gospel.

The Flow of Life

Do you ever think about what organizes and balances the universe and keeps it in existence?

DD Palmer, the inventor of Chiropractic, did and he concluded that an intelligent energy organizes matter and keeps it in existence. He called this organizing energy Universal Intelligence. Its mission is to maintain balance through out the universe. It is every where all the time. It is infinite, perfect, and has never made a mistake. The new physics and non linear mathematics confirm that indeed that this energy exists and is the primary source of all that is.

Ever think about what makes you run?

Well, a subunit of Universal Intelligence, Which DD and BJ Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic, called Innate Intelligence, resides in ALL living things and it runs them. Like Universal Intelligence, Innate is infinite, perfect, has never made a mistake and always works for the highest good for the living thing in which it resides. Your Innate's mission to maintain balance within you and keep you in balance with the universe.

Innate is driven to help you survive(we call that healing), grow (we call that adaption) and it runs your life!

This magnificent perfect intelligence needs a network through which to work it's magic as it controls, guides and directs the 70 to100 trillion cells of your being. That is why we have a nervous system. This intelligence, present at the time of conception drives the first cell to split into two then four and within 10 days of life there are so many cells we need a communication system. This is when our brainstem and spinal cord form. From this point on every function within your being that you can imagine is controlled and directed by this inner power, this life force, flowing over your nervous system.

This power, your innate, builds you from one cell and keeps you healthy. Every day billions of cells die within you and are replaced by new cells. The quality of these cells, the quality of your life is dependent on one thing; the quantity Innate reaching them over your nerve system. If this power can flow from above down, inside out you will have access to your full healing potential and your full life potential.

Subluxations dim down the flow of innate from brain to body and that my friend, negatively affects every aspect of your existence.

Chiropractors locate and correct subluxations through specific adjustments, thereby maximizing your healing power and innate potential. No other health profession can do this. Chiropractors don not treat disease, symptoms or sickness, they turn up LIFE.

You, your children your family, in fact everyone on the planet deserves to have maximum healing power and life potential flowing through them from birth to death. Please tell others about the power of living clear through regular adjustments.

Williamsburg Hipsters Out-Hipstered By Korean Boy Band

We already gave you the heads up that K-pop sensation Big Bang is set to take over the world in 2012. And with their latest album, "Alive," dominating the charts, and a world tour in the works (the group has teamed up with concert production powerhouse Live Nation to take their show to 16 countries this year), the multi-talented quintet has already set themselves up for success barely three months into the year. While we eagerly wait for them to make landfall here in the states, the truth is they actually have...kinda. The videos for their latest hit singles, "Bad Boy" and "Blue," were filmed right here in NYC in mid-February, where for the first time their unique hip-hop-meets-meets-high-end fashion sense was put to the test in the city that certainly doesn't shrink away from avant-garde outfits.
And while we're sure most New Yorkers didn't bat an eye at their embellished jeans and all of their shimmer and shine, the fashion presented in "Bad Boy" in particular made us wonder if their unique aesthetic will either inhibit or prohibit their widespread popularity in the West as a whole. Don't get us wrong — what we love about Big Bang, and what sets them apart from many other boy bands, is their willingness to take risks with their clothing. At any one time you can find them in slick suits and button-ups, and then see them again a day later in graffiti-splattered jackets and leather skirts. Still, what have boy bands been so far to the American audience? Historically, they've been pretty clean-cut, with a lot of frosted tips, tight T-shirts, and some cringe-worthy facial hair here and there. Throw in a leather jacket, and that's as "edgy" as they'd get. In that respect, a group like Big Bang, who tends to mix together so many styles at once, could definitely be seen as an oddity — coupled with the fact that they will, unfortunately, have to overcome the "foreignness" that comes with having a large, non-English discography. Though we're embracing their boldness and their willingness not to follow trends as a breath of fresh air for a very stereotyped genre, we're dying to know what you think.
Check out the videos for "Bad Boy" below and tell us, would Big Bang's unique style be welcomed in the Big Apple, and could it potentially revolutionize the way we see boy bands? Or does the thought of another wave of synchronized dancing pretty boys make you balk, no matter what they're wearing?

Parity, pricing, and solar schadenfreude: Why 2012 could be a correction year

Paula Mints from Navigant Consulting discusses the “illusion” of grid parity while PV manufacturers themselves are underwater, and hunting the elusive creature known as “pricing.”

December 14, 2011 – Incentive-driven industries are inherently risky. That the solar industry, with 98% of its demand driven by incentives of some type, appeared less risky from 2004 through 2010 (give or take a quarter or two) was merely an illusion. Currently some industry watchers are implying that solar is, and always will be, too expensive to gain a significant share of the energy producing pie chart — some of whom proclaimed solar (all solar technologies) the technology of the future. When you are hot (pardon the pun) everyone loves you; when you are not, SCHADENFREUDE takes over.

Currently there is a joyful noise over the achievement of grid parity. Indeed, solar is now more affordable and, on the demand side, margins are healthy. In some cases, solar is affordable without subsidies. That this has been achieved with prices for PV technology truly below the cost of production, along with the failure or near-failure of manufacturers — many of which are pioneers in the solar industry — indicates that grid parity as the solar industry now knows it is also an illusion. This illusion is driving companies out of business and setting one side (demand) of the industry against the other (supply). Concentrated solar photovoltaic (CSP) projects are being replaced with PV, putting this re-emerging industry at risk. CPV may well be able to ride out this unhealthy period by holding the line at appropriate direct normal insolation (DNI, ~7) and system sizes (>1MWp).

The global economy is also a factor in the current correction for solar. In Europe, a slight recession, high debt levels, unstable banks, and changes in the Euro system that may not be easily resolved (despite the fledgling agreement) certainly have had an effect on investor confidence. Abrupt changes in FiT rules and rates are also not helpful in this regard. Specific to the industry, high inventory levels going into 2012 (on the demand and supply sides) and the reselling of this inventory, high capacity, and a softening market indicate that prices for PV technology cannot increase in the near or mid-term.

It ain’t grid parity if manufacturers go out of business.

Figure 1: PV industry metrics, 2011 into 2012 (estimated).

Though the counting for 2011 is not (and cannot possibly be done) at this point, Figure 1 offers a picture of 2011 into 2012 including estimates for capacity, installations, shipments, production and inventory.

Pricing is the topic of the minute — which is about how often the average price estimate changes, minute-by-minute-by-minute. For the most part, the prices being bandied about are rumors passed on from one person to another. In many cases the repeated prices are from manufacturers, primarily in China, at such a low level in the food chain that their lack of survival is assured. Simply, these entities will not survive, along with, sadly, many manufacturers who should survive. The average price for the secondary market — that is, the first buyer to the second buyer and beyond, is currently $1.05/Wp. This takes a host of different price points into account, from $0.50/Wp to $1.20/Wp. The average global price from the technology to the first point of sale (first buyer) is $1.25/Wp, taking into account a host of different price points from $0.50/Wp to $3.25/Wp.

Figure 2 offers a picture of prices to the first buyer — these are annual averages. The shipment figures for 2011 are an estimate, based on current survey effort. The average prices for 2011 are based on survey data from the first buyer (demand).

Gus Clemens: The math of grapes

Gus Clemens
Special to the Reporter-News

How many grapes does it take to make a bottle of wine? Depends, as it so often does in wine. Ballpark: 600 to 800 grape berries.

In the vineyard, the berry count depends on vine spacing, row spacing, vintage vagaries, cropping techniques, and age of the vines. Vineyards roughly produce between two and 10 tons per acre. Sometimes more, although higher quantity almost always means less quality. Less quantity typically means more concentrated flavor and quality. Old vines produce fewer berries, but higher quality berries.

A ton of grapes roughly translates into a 60-gallon barrel of wine. A barrel of wine means about 300 bottles of wine. So, in general, a high quality, low production vineyard will produce around 1,500 bottles of wine. A lower quality, higher production vineyard will produce around 7,000 bottles of wine, perhaps more.

That explains much of the cost of wine. When you pay more for a bottle, you often — albeit not always — pay for the quality of the juice from a vineyard that produces fewer grapes, but higher quality grapes. You also pay for the skill of the winemaker. That noted, winemakers quickly acknowledge every great wine begins with a farmer in the vineyard.

Bottle price is not a certain indicator of quality. But it is true bottles costing less than $10 are not the same quality as those costing $30 or $300. If you are a newbie into wine, the lower on the shelf, the more affordable the wine, the less likely the quality. OK, nothing wrong with cheaper. It is where I began years ago. But as your palate — and disposable income — expands, you will appreciate what lower-yield, higher quality vineyards and more costly bottles deliver. In wine, as often in life, you get what you pay for.

Tasting notes:

Cline Cellars Ancient Vines Mourvèdre, Contra Costa County 2017: Yummy with concentrated cherry and plum leading parade on the palate. Showcases grape more often associated as a blender. Smooth, fun, easy drinker. $17

Château d’Aussières Corbières, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) 2016: Depth, finesse, and fruity intensity. Smooth and rounded easy drinker. $30-33

Beaumont Hope Marguerite Chenin Blanc, South Africa 2018: Delicious now and built for holding for another 10 years. Excellent fruit that gives the illusion of sweetness, balanced by superb acidity. $33-40

Last round: Spilling a full glass of good wine is the adult equivalent of letting go of your balloon outside when you were a kid.

“I personally don’t have the time to have the provisions for her": How teachers’ exclusionary practices in the classroom manifest in disabled children’s digital technology uses

Inclusion has long been a policy issue for governments globally. Within education, the Salamanca statement (1994) has been instrumental in strengthening the drive to deliver inclusion; recognised in policy in many different parts of the world. Even so, disabled young people often experience integration in schools rather than inclusion that does not support their sense of belonging to the community. An important aspect of this is how digital technologies are used in schools given that studies of disabled children’s uses of technology remain limited, particularly studies that engage with disabled children’s own views in context. In response, participatory research was carried out in England taking an interdisciplinary approach combining digital education with disability theory. It explored how disabled children use digital technologies for formal learning. Research was carried out with visually impaired children, their teachers, teaching assistants and qualified teachers of visual impairment as an illustrative case. Semi-structured interviews complemented observational data collected in classrooms. It was clear that disabled children benefited when schools had adopted 1:1 tablet computer schemes in class because often disabled children were able to use the same devices as their peers thereby reducing stigma. Moreover, analysis also showed that disabled children’s experiences of using digital technologies were qualitatively different depending on subject teacher approaches. Some teachers worked closely with teaching assistants in curriculum planning to ensure the seamless inclusion of disabled children. Others relied for the most part on teaching assistants in situ to provide just-in-time support or on children themselves to find workarounds to inaccessible provision. Teachers gave reasons for their different approaches in relation to the development of inclusive pedagogies using technology. This included time availability/constraints, provision/lack of guidance both in terms of using digital technologies for learning and in terms of implementing inclusive education policy; and technical issues when using technology. The paper will set out the main issues and offer short and longer term recommendations for improvement.

France to change constitution to extend state of emergency

According to government sources, France will modify its constitution to extend special powers. A legal framework is to be presented to ministers on 23 December.

French President François Hollande has set out special powers including a state of emergency in France after last month’s attack on Paris. But the new constitution will allow to extend the state of emergency with no time limit,” the French government said on Thursday, beyond the current three-month limit.

This constitutional reform aims to introduce a “civilian crisis rule clause” to counter “war terrorism,” Hollande said on 16 November.

The French constitution in its current form includes the state of siege but not the state of emergency. Both state of emergency as now, and state of siege are temporary measures, but in the state of siege, the government delegates its public order mandate to the military.

During a state of emergency, the prefect can set protection and define security zones in which the presence or residence of persons would be regulated, restrict or forbid the movement of persons and vehicles at specific times and place and deny residence to any person seeking to impede the action of the public authority.

The new constitution will also allow the government to strip binationals convicted of terrorism acts of their French nationality.

Under this state of emergency, more than 2,000 police searches have been carried out since 13 November in France without a decision from a judge and more than 300 people have been put under house arrest.

Although the legal framework to change the French constitution is to be presented to ministers in two weeks time, it needs to obtain a positive vote from at least three-fifths of the French parliament to be passed, or by means of a referendum.

Here’s What Killed Atari And How Today’s Platforms Can Avoid The Same Fate

With the Right Strategy, Platforms Don’t Have to Sacrifice Quality for Quantity

In the 1980s, Atari ruled the video game universe. Game developers flocked to the pioneering platform, churning out new titles. But most games developed for Atari were not Pac-Man-level quality, and that ultimately led to the platform’s demise. New research from Maryland Smith pinpoints the best strategies for today’s platforms to curate lots of high-quality content and avoid Atari’s fate.

With the right strategy, platform owners should never have to sacrifice quality for quantity, say professors Peng Huang and Yi Xu of Maryland Smith’s department of decision, operations and information technology, who co-authored the research with Gaoyan Lyu of Peking University. Their research, forthcoming in Management Science, looks at how platforms can regulate content quality without having to exclude too many developers.

Most platforms are two-sided markets, Huang and Xu say. Take video game consoles like Playstation or XBox, for example. You have game developers and game players with the platform as an intermediary. The more games a platform has, the more customers it will attract. When a platform has a lot of players, it will also attract more developers to create new games.

“The platform owner has this incentive to attract more developers,” Huang says. “But consumers – the players – also care about the quality of these applications. So if you attract a larger number of developers, but then most of the games they develop are low-quality, then the consumers will abandon the platform.”

That’s what happened to Atari – there were too many ‘lemon’ games developed, Huang and Xu say. And that's what today's platform leaders want to avoid. In fact, it's not just a pitfall facing video game platforms – it's a worry for any provider who relies on third-party content, including streaming services Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, and mobile app platforms such as iOS and Android.

Huang, Xu and Lyu evaluated three ways content platforms can regulate content quality: excluding low-quality content providers, subsidizing high-quality content providers, and investing in producing their own original content.

With an exclusion policy – the most-used strategy – platforms set a quality threshold that developers must meet. Case in point: Apple’s iOS. Apple won’t even list a low-quality app on its platform. Nintendo uses the same strategy, say Huang and Xu, with a chip that locks development access to their game console and keeps unlicensed developers off the platform.

The researchers looked at two alternative strategies: Subsidize high-quality developers to attract them to the platform, or develop content in-house. (Think “Netflix originals” content or Nintendo’s Mario games.)

For the subsidization strategy, “instead of denying access to low-quality ones, you give rewards to high-quality developers,” Huang says. For example, Google employed this strategy when it gave monetary awards to the developers who made the best apps for its Android platform.

So which strategy should platform owners use?

“The interesting thing is the most commonly used strategy, the exclusion strategy, is never the best,” Huang says. “In fact, it’s always worse than subsidization, and in some cases, the platform is worse off by using exclusion.”

“The other two strategies can both improve the platform revenue and attract more customers, as well as lead to higher-quality content. The subsidization strategy, in particular, is also beneficial to social welfare – the sum of the gains of all parties involved in the platform ecosystem. ”

When picking a strategy, platforms should first consider the costs of developing content in-house, Huang says. “Overall, more first-party content will improve the average quality on the platform. If it has fairly low development costs, first-party development is likely optimal.”

But it also depends on other things, like what’s the distribution of the high-quality versus low-quality third-party developers. “Our conclusion is if the distribution is more lopsided – say 90% of third-party application developers are low quality – then first-party application strategy is more likely to be the optimal strategy.”

In contrast, if the distribution of the high-quality and low-quality application developers in the market are roughly equal, then using subsidization will be the optimal strategy, say Huang and Xu.

Huang and Xu say the central takeaway from the research is that platform owners don’t need to sacrifice quality for quantity of content, and they don’t need to exclude so many developers.

“If you look at the other two strategies that we studied, this problem goes away in the sense that you can improve both quantity and quality at the same time," Huang says. "If you make the right choice, you can actually improve both.”

Our District

Our History

High School District #227 serves the residents of Country Club Hills, Matteson, Olympia Fields, Park Forest, Richton Park, a small section of Chicago Heights and adjoining rural areas in South Cook County. The district was formed from non-high school territory in 1949. Construction of the East Campus of Rich Township High School, financed by a $1,600,000 bond issue, began in September, 1952. Twelve months later it was operating as a four-year high school. During the 1952-53 school year, a ninth grade school was operating in the Faith United Protestant Church in Park Forest, Located on a 55-acre site donated by American Community Builders, Inc., the original building accommodated approximately 750 students.

     The East Campus was formally dedicated in December, 1953 by the Secretary of Health, Education and Safety; Mrs. Oveta Club Hobby. It was fully accredited by both the North Central Association and the State of Illinois during the initial year of operation. In 1954, it won, for the municipalities which it serves, the All-American City award, the first ever to be awarded by a school.

     In 1955, a $450,000 bond issue financed the addition of 12 classrooms and a gymnasium. This increased the capacity of the school to approximately 1,100 students. In 1957, a $1,050,000 bond issue was passed and the money used to increase the size of the East Campus to accommodate 1,500 to 1,600 students. At the same time, 50 acres of land for a new high school site was purchased in Olympia Fields.

     In 1959, a $1,690,000 bond issue was passed to finance building of the initial stage of a new Central Campus in Olympia Fields. The first stage provided facilities for about 700 students. The building has been recognized as one of the "significant schools of the future" in a monograph published by the Ford Foundation. In its July, 1960 issue, The Nation’s Schools carried a cover picture and a ten-page article on the new school under the title, "An Image of the Future in Olympia Fields, IL." In 1960, a bond issue of $225,000 was approved to equip the new school which opened to approximately 425 students in the ninth and tenth grades in September, 1961. At the same time, the East Campus enrolled about 1,600 students.

     In 1962, a $1,250,000 bond issue was authorized by voters in the district to build and equip an addition to the Central Campus facility bringing its capacity to 1,500 students. This addition was completed for the opening of school in September 1963.

     In 1966, a $2,700,000 bond issue was authorized by voters in the district. $2,500,000 of the bond issue was for the purpose of building and equipping additions to the Central and East Campus facilities. This brings the capacity of the Central Campus to 2,100 students and the East Campus to 1,800 students. $200,000 was used to purchase land for a third high school.

     In 1969, a $3,200,000 bond issue was authorized by the voters of the district. $300,000 was to build an addition to the East Campus. This addition consisted of a little theatre and two arts and crafts classrooms. The remaining $2,900,000 was for the purpose of building Rich South High School. Rich South opened at the East Campus for freshmen and sophomores in September of 1972 with an enrollment of 600 students and then moved into the new facilities at the South Campus in January 1973.

It’s said that necessity is the mother of invention, and the current situation undeniably reinforces that notion, Small businesses like restaurants and personal services that rely on in-person customer interactions have been creatively reinventing themselves in response to COVID-19. As we’ve moved beyond shelter-in-place to a modified version of conducting business, we started asking ourselves how we can extend help to the small professional services companies that also need to embrace change to stay successful.

We conducted a survey of over 1,000 small business leaders, the results indicate that professional services companies were not impacted by COVID-19 as immediately or aggressively as businesses whose profit model depends on in-person transactions. For example, 50% of small businesses in arts, entertainment, and recreation (the hardest-hit group) were forced to close some aspects of their business due to the pandemic. Conversely, only 11.9% of real estate businesses (the hardest-hit professional services vertical) had to close.

Even though they felt little impact during the initial onset, professional services companies can’t escape the fact that we are all operating in a new paradigm and long-term success will require us to adapt to the new normal.

A majority of Americans hope to continue working from home after the COVID-19 crisis ends, and many say they will continue shopping online even as brick-and-mortar shops reopen — signs that we are seeing a permanent change in business and daily life. A quick review of headlines in any major business publication tells a similar story. Nearly every leading CEO is thinking about how to change their business model, so how does a small business embark on that journey?

Learn how to streamline your professional services firm’s communications with this free playbook.

🌟 Want to communicate better with clients (and each other)?

Professional Services Can Learn from Brick and Mortar

While they may not be immediately obvious, there are many similarities between the foot traffic-based small businesses and boutique professional services companies. During the Small Business School Challenge, we identified three areas where small business owners can make small adjustments that position them for long-term success: client service, collaboration, and productivity.

Client Service: The Most Important Aspect of Business

First and foremost, all small businesses need to deliver exceptional customer service. Whether you are selling a physical good or trading in your expertise, relationships with customers are key to long-term success. As a small company, you probably enjoy a more personal relationship with your clients than larger competitors. Be creative about how you can continue to strengthen these relationships. Increasing interaction through message, video, and phone interaction is an obvious first step, but what else can you do?

Unprecedented times create unique client needs. Remaining focused while managing stress and uncertainty is a top concern for everybody these days. Are there any additional services that you can offer to help your clients deal with stress? Converting client challenges into unique offerings benefits everyone.

Collaboration: Making Work an Activity, Not a Location

When we think of “work,” we usually think of “going to work.” But work is no longer a place, it’s part of our lives. You need the right tools to keep employees connected to one another and clients. Offering integrated message, video, and phone technology improves interaction, collaboration, and client experience.

Productivity: “9 to 5” is No Longer Reality

The notion of office workers keeping rigid business hours came to fruition in the early 1800s. The reasons that it made sense then are no longer valid, and it’s time to rethink this construct. Our personal and professional lives are increasingly blended; employees need to be able to work any time, from any place, on any device.

Putting It into Practice

A3K Consulting based in Pasadena, California is an architecture, engineering, and construction consultancy. They worked with a team of students from UCLA during the Small Business School Challenge to develop a new pricing model that blends a traditional fixed-fee structure with back-end revenue sharing. A3K is able to keep overhead in line by working remotely and using message, video, and phone technology to stay in touch with groups of subcontractors working on construction projects. In combination, these two creative approaches give A3K a unique way to cater to clients’ needs.

Good News

Innovation and adaptation have long been the name of the game for successful SMBs. And it’s much easier for a tugboat to change course than it is for an aircraft carrier. By carefully assessing the situation and listening to customers and employees, smaller companies can out-perform their larger competitors. But you probably already know this, as two-thirds of respondents to our small business survey say they are “very optimistic” about the future. We are, too, and we’re ready to help.

Spanish repository aims to launch service in July

The Spanish stock exchange, Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME), aims to launch the first phase of its trade repository for all classes of over-the-counter derivatives in July, says Jésus Benito, chief executive of Iberclear, the central depository for stocks in Spain owned by BME.

“At the moment, we’re planning to launch interest rates in July, then move on to other asset classes. By December, we’re aiming to have equities and maybe forex as well,” says Benito. “Clearly, plain vanilla contracts are the easiest to register, but in interest rates we are also looking to have the capacity to register bespoke contracts in the first phase of the project. Other trade repositories are offering a solution for plain vanilla contracts, but we are putting a lot of emphasis on the non-standardised contracts, as well as plain vanilla ones.”

The project envisages covering “every kind of contract and every kind of underlying”, says Benito. However, some market participants argue the venture is too ambitious, labelling it an attempt to cash in on the European Commission (EC) communication of October 20, 2009, which invited companies to establish trade repositories. Other ventures – notably Stockholm-based TriOptima for interest rates and US-based MarkitServ for equity derivatives – have focused on one asset class. Nonetheless, Benito is convinced BME can provide a complete service.

“Without doubt, it’s a challenge, but we’re specialists in trade registration at Iberclear, and we think once you’re registering one type of contract, you should be able to register the others too. Non-standardised contracts present the biggest challenge, but we’ve got imaginative solutions for this, which we will present when we make the public announcement,” he says.

BME revealed its intention to launch a trade repository for a wide range of OTC derivatives instruments on November 3, 2009. The news came out of the blue for many in the market. TriOptima and MarkitServ had both been selected via a process driven by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, but BME was the first company to launch its own initiative without waiting for an official nod from the derivatives association. Benito says he has not talked to Isda so far, but is due to meet with representatives soon.

“I wouldn’t say it is a problem that BME wasn’t selected via an Isda process – it is a fact and we have to live with that. We have already presented the project to very important Spanish players, as well as to the EC and the European Central Bank, both of which were delighted there is a project with a completely European scope,” he says. “Clearly, the future is competition between repositories. We think our project is going to be comprehensive, as we’re looking across all asset classes and focusing on both the interbank market and the dealer-to-corporate market. We think it’s a niche in the market we can exploit.”

The idea of competition between repositories has not been universally welcomed. Some critics have suggested multiple repositories could lead to information duplication and increased operational risk. Benito dismisses such concerns, claiming the European Securities and Markets Authority (Esma), the body that will oversee trade repositories in the European Union, will ensure information is collated and shared appropriately.

“Esma will define the formatting standards for the way information is communicated. These formats will have to be followed by all trade repositories, and Esma will be the one receiving all the information. We also think trade repositories are interested in being interconnected: if a US bank registers a trade in the US while a Spanish bank on the other leg of the trade registers it with us, all parties have an interest in ensuring the repositories are interconnected so both receive confirmations that are exactly the same in both instances,” he says.

“I actually think it is better to have various trade repositories over one sole repository in the world, because if that one organisation has operational problems, clearly the lights will go out for all regulators – European and US. I think it is a business in which there should be competition,” he adds.

Benito says he has talked to a number of major Spanish players, which have helped to develop the functionality of the repository and provide feedback on the project. It appears domestic reaction has been positive so far.

“It may be an opportunistic move, but isn’t that the very nature of business? We will be using it when it is launched. Part of it is supporting local businesses, but BME is also a professional outfit with the experience and infrastructure to undertake this ambitious project,” says one senior Madrid-based banker.

Even if BME can only attract Spanish business, Benito says this will be enough to “ensure our existence”. However, this is clearly not the plan. “The project was born in Spain, but it is aimed at all of Europe – we are going to internationalise this project. We are aiming for the larger market, and we know there is stiff competition,” he says.

A new generation learns about Tītokowaru's War

8:05 am on 7 September 2018

The younger generation has been learning about the battle of Te Ngutu o Te Manu ahead of its 150th anniversary, marked by a dawn ceremony in Taranaki this morning.

Ngāruahine iwi members gathered near Kapuni in Taranaki this morning to commemorate the battle, where the celebrated Prussian soldier of fortune Gustavus Ferdinand von Tempsky was killed.

On 7 September 1868, Māori under the command of Riwha Tītokowaru, repelled an assault by colonial forces at Te Ngutu o Te Manu in the most famous victory of what became called Titokowaru's War.

Today's ceremony is part of the commemorations of the South Taranaki campaign which saw the Hawera events centre converted into a marae-like setting for the week.

Event organiser Daisy Noble said fed up with ongoing land confiscations, Tītokowaru renounced peace and provoked the Te Ngutu o Te Manu assault when he sent his forces to attack Turuturumōkai in July 1868.

"Tītokowaru, we understand, sent over a few of his men just to tickle the Crown forces that were over there and of course he successfully did that to the point that lives were lost.

"In retaliation for that little skirmish it was decided they were going to declare war on Te Ngutu o Te Manu, but that was always going to be the case anyway," said Daisy Noble.

Suitably riled, the commander of colonial forces in the area, Thomas McDonnell, unsuccessfully tried to sack Te Ngutu o Te Manu in August.

"Then they thought they'd have another shot at it, if you like, which was the 7th of September and that's of course where the person who had led some of those campaigns, which was Von Tempsky, lost his life.

"And that's the battle if you like, that is very famous around the South Taranaki campaign."

A brilliant military strategist, Tītokowaru's War raged for six months across the coastal strip between Whanganui and Mt Taranaki, before he abruptly abandoned warfare and later re-emerged as a strong supporter of the pacifist prophets Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi at Parihaka.

Daisy Noble said the commemorations had not been about glorifying battle, but about reconnecting people with the area's history.

She said hundreds of school children and members of the public had taken part in workshops and listened to presentations at the TSB Hub designed to do just that.

Puhi Nuku was taking poi workshops.

"We're making poi for traditional poi songs that we do here in the south as well as in Taranaki. We just use a single poi for that so the kids are learning to make their own poi," said Puhi Nuku.

Ms Nuku said the children had been taking on valuable lessons while they worked.

"They're learning their history because not only are they visiting the Te Ngutu site they are also learning the history about Te Ngutu and some of the ancestors involved are their tipuna that participated in the Te Ngutu o Te Manu battle."

Ngapera Moeahu has also been busy.

"We've been weaving. Just taking them through the process of harakeke, where harakeke comes from. Telling a little bit about the story of harakeke and doing a little bit of making," said Ngapera Moeahu.

Ms Moeahu said learning to work with harakeke (flax) could offer children a tangible connection to the past.

"They can identify with what they have got in their own homes. That korowai (Māori cloak) is make from harakeke. They can identify with their tipuna with kite that might have come from their grandmother or an aunty or someone who has made something special. All sorts of things."

Ariana Graham, 10, of Ramanui School, was taking it all on board.

"I've learned about Taranaki and the relationship between Māori and Europeans and lots of things that I can't really explain, but one thing is that it is part of our culture and what we need to learn and respect," said Ariana.

The commemorations which have also included workshops on moko kauae, tangihanga and mirimiri or Māori massage wrap up later today.

Long-Term Care Provisions Would Be Repealed in Fiscal Cliff Bill

Posted January 1, 2013 at 1:02pm

The bill to avert the fiscal cliff would repeal a suspended program in the 2010 health care law that has long been targeted by Republicans.

The Department of Health and Human Services suspended implementation of the long-term care insurance program in October 2011, but Republicans still have pushed for full repeal. Most Democrats resisted, saying the program needed to remain on the books so it could be improved and replaced.

But the fiscal cliff bill (HR 8) would fully repeal the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act and put a commission on long-term care in its place. Including the provision is a victory for Republicans, who have been concerned that the administration could bring the program back in a form they would oppose.

The Senate passed the measure, 89-8, early Tuesday. House plans for a vote on the bill remain unclear.

The Congressional Budget Office originally scored the CLASS Act as saving $70.2 billion over 10 years. After the administration suspended the program, however, the CBO said it would score a straight repeal as costing nothing.

The commission, made up of 15 appointed members, would be tasked with developing a plan to establish, implement and finance a comprehensive system for long-term care. If a majority of the members vote in favor of a plan, the group’s recommendations would be sent to Congress. A summary of the bill said the commission provision “has no scoring implications.”

In February, the House passed a bill (HR 1173) to repeal the CLASS Act, with the support of 28 Democrats. In August, bill sponsor Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., R-La., and Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., wrote to HHS saying they were concerned that administration officials were meeting with stakeholders to discuss reviving the program in some form. Thune is the sponsor of a similar repeal bill (S 720).

“The Senate’s action will ensure that the CLASS Act, which the president’s own HHS secretary has called ‘totally unsustainable,’ will be permanently removed from law so that it can never be implemented,” Thune said in a written statement. “The House of Representatives has already voted to repeal this fiscally insolvent new entitlement, and I look forward to the House considering repeal again.”

Without formal repeal, the Republicans have argued, HHS could be in violation of the law’s requirement to designate a benefit plan for the program by October 2012.

The CLASS Act, created in the 2010 health care law (PL 111-148, PL 111-152), was designed to allow workers to pay into a fund that would provide a $50 daily cash benefit for long-term care services. The program was structured to collect premiums for five years before it began paying out benefits, which helped CBO score it as a 10-year savings. Republicans argued that that amounted to a budget trick.

HHS suspended implementation of the program in October 2011 after determining that it could not meet requirements set out in the law that it be voluntary, self-sustaining, and solvent for 75 years.

Bringing English Communication to Life!

The Language Training Centre has innovative and accessible programs including Intensive English, English for Specific Purposes, and Academic Language Preparation. Our students have many goals for settlement, education/training, and employment. We support students and their success through the delivery of educational and cultural activities – in classrooms and computer labs, online, in the community, or in the workplace. Let us help you reach your education, career and life goals!

The Language Training Centre enrols approximately 1000 students in our English language programs every year. What is it about Red River College that brings such a diverse population of learners, year after year? Why is the LTC so often a learner’s top choice for improving language skills and working toward their life, education and career goals?

We believe it’s because of the supportive and energetic staff (instructors, assessors, student support staff, and administrative staff) who strive to create a dynamic learning environment in a location that is convenient and accessible for learners. It’s because our vision and mission is to help international students and newcomers to Canada be satisfied with their language competency; and to provide them with the supports to empower them with the skills and confidence they need to find their own success in every day life, education or employment.

More advantages of studying English at Red River College’s Language Training Centre:

  • Comprehensive levels of language programming
  • Assessment-based placement so students are in the right level
  • One-on-one opportunities with instructors
  • State-of-the-art online learning opportunities
  • Completion certificate and official language competency report
  • International student supports and social activities
  • A Workplace Language Exposure component

Your Success at Red River College is important!

We are proud that 95% of our graduates find employment after their programs. RRC prepares students for success. This means getting a job after graduation and keeping that job. This is why many people choose RRC rather than a university. Our programs are well regarded in the community because students who graduate are job ready.

Strong English language skills are important for your success because:

  • RRC programs are skills-based and practical. The tasks replicate those used in the workplace.
  • English is the medium of instruction.
  • Student-to-instructor ratios are small.
  • The programs are relatively short and intensive.
  • Students are required to participate in all classroom activities.

Key factors in your language learning journey:

One of the keys to your success is developing effective communication skills. Language learning is an individual process. It involves developing skills, not knowledge. Your own improvement depends on:

  • The ownership you take of your own learning
  • Your active engagement in the classroom
  • Regular classroom and language lab attendance
  • Your active practice outside the classroom, which includes engagement in the community
  • Your ease in language learning (everyone learns at their own pace)
  • Your openness to learn
  • Your interest in the English language
  • Goal setting and using all of the resources available to you

Moving to a higher level in the English program:

Your evaluation and promotion to a higher level is based only on demonstrated progress in class. This means how well you can use English to communicate effectively in all four language skill areas (listening, speaking, reading and writing).
