Press release
14 September 2021

Centero, a company from Jyväskylä, Finland, specialized in IT environment’s device management and automatization, has been approved as a member of Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) for their integration with Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

MISA joins together top experts in cyber security

MISA is an ecosystem of independent software vendors (ISV) and managed security service providers (MSSP) that have integrated their security products and services with Microsoft to better defend against a world of increasing threats. MISA’s mission is to provide better security for our shared customers by extending across the security ecosystem to share signal, increase visibility, and protect against cyber threats.

“Joining MISA is of course a great honor for us. The network is an excellent place to develop ourselves and strengthen our integrations with Microsoft products and MISA partners’ services. At the same time, we believe the membership gives us new credibility and with that, new trust in our product, Centero Software Manager, CSM that automatizes application updates”, says Teemu Tiainen, Centero’s head of customer relationships, marketing, and sales.

The customer benefits from CSM on many levels. With the automatized updates, the applications are always up to date, and the level of cyber security is high. In addition, CSM is a cost-effective solution for device environments: it saves the IT administration’s time and takes care of the updates without disturbing the end-users’ work. For service providers CSM’s multi-tenant management offers a possibility to manage several end-customer’s environments at once.

For Microsoft and Centero alike, cyber security is an extremely important consideration in their products and their customer environments.

Even Better Services for Customers Thanks to the Membership

With MISA, Centero now has an even greater opportunity to help customers in the device environments’ cyber security challenges and offering functioning solutions for different situations.

“We hope that thanks to MISA we’ll learn new things, get peer support, and find new possibilities for collaboration with other MISA members. Their insights are definitely welcome to our product development,” Tiainen says.

“We also believe that MISA will give us positive publicity and visibility that helps us to open doors to new international markets for our CSM service,” continues Kimmo Pitkänen, Centero’s head of foreign sales.

“Customers need to be confident that their sensitive data, employees’ identities, applications, infrastructure, and endpoints are secure. We have invested in the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association to provide customers with more options that meet their unique security requirements,” says Maria Thomson, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association Lead.

Centero specializes in solutions for efficient and centralized device management, and the company’s services help IT service providers and organizations’ IT units around the world.

2021 – Three Years of Her Life – Chapter One

Center Lovell, Maine

August 1957

As Elizabeth stepped out of the car and looked around her grandmother’s farmhouse, she was relieved to find the scent of the towering pines hadn’t changed. The old Colonial house was a different story; the paint was peeling off the clapboard, and the adjacent two-story henhouse looked on the verge of collapse. It seemed Grandma had fallen on hard times after she sold Sunset Inn, her beachfront resort for rich city folk.

If her grandmother’s mood had deteriorated as much as the property, Elizabeth was in for an unpleasant reunion.

When she had called Elizabeth a few days ago, out of the blue, she was her usual straight-to-the-point self. “Heard you’re here for the summer before you go off to nursing school. Stop by. I’m home.”

Taken aback, Elizabeth had muttered, “Yeah. Sure, Grandma.” Hearing Grandmother’s voice brought back her uncalled-for cruelty as if it were yesterday. Elizabeth had second thoughts about facing her.

“Good,” the old woman had snapped, then hung up.

But, why did her grandmother even want to see her? It wasn’t as if they were close. Far from it, in fact.

Five years ago, she’d tried to run Elizabeth over.

In the summer of 1952, Grandma drove 13-year-old Elizabeth to a cleaning and dishwashing job every day at her uncle’s lakeside lodge. Despite the long hours Elizabeth worked to help out her uncle, her grandmother constantly ragged on her, calling her a lazy good for nothing kid whenever she forgot to do a chore around the farm. One morning, on the drive over to the lodge, Elizabeth finally had enough of her nit-picking.

“Grandma,” she’d asked. “Why don’t you like me?”

Grandma’s face turned red. She slammed on the brakes, pulling the car over to the shoulder. Then she reached across the stick shift to start slapping and punching her granddaughter as she berated Elizabeth for being a rude, ungrateful girl.

Terrified, Elizabeth jumped out of the car and ran. Grandma floored the gas pedal and raced after her. Elizabeth flung herself into the trees lining the road to escape, and was crying and shaking when she finally made it to the lodge and collapsed on the kitchen floor. Her aunt and uncle had been concerned, but didn’t believe her when she told them what happened. Elizabeth had tried to convince herself that it hadn’t happened, that her grandmother loved her. But she’d never quite managed to fool herself.

What was she in for this time?

Elizabeth wasn’t a girl anymore. She was a grown woman about to start a career in nursing. I can handle this,she told herself. It won’t be like before. If I’ve changed, then maybe Grandma has as well. Why else would she reach out? Maybe she regrets what she did.

Elizabeth tucked in her white, sleeveless, button-up blouse and smoothed down above the knee blue Bermuda shorts. She thought better of wearing controversial shorties shorts and a halter top to visit Grandmother. At least she would be presentable, facing her grandmother.

Whatever happened after that …

She flipped her long brown hair away from her face and set Cat-eye sunglasses on top of her head. Then, braced herself and walked up to the front door and knocked.

Her grandmother was grayer and plumper than Elizabeth remembered, and she greeted her granddaughter as if nothing had ever happened between them. “Now just look at you, all grown up. It’s been a long time.” Grandmother grinned.

“Hello, Grandma.” Elizabeth didn’t trust Grandmother’s grin to mean everything was all right. Not to forget, she tried to run over her.

No hug or handshake; Grandma crossed her arms, turned and walked into the living room. Elizabeth followed. The dark, musty room filled with overstuffed Victorian furniture and embroidered pillows was a stark contrast to the sunny day outside. A Hammond organ took up most of the far wall. A small smile tugged at Elizabeth’s lips when she spotted it. She’d always loved that old thing.

Grandma’s voice trailed behind her. “I want you to know… Sometimes, when people get old, they do things they’re sorry for.”

Elizabeth paused mid-step. Was this an apology? Unsure where she stood with Grandma, she thought better of asking. Elizabeth cleared her throat. “Nice to see you too.”

Grandmother nodded, as if the matter were settled. Then she sat on the couch and pulled up her flowered housedress to the knees. “Now, take a look at my legs. Tell me what you think.”

Elizabeth bent down and slid a hand over the old woman’s swollen legs. The edema was obvious. “How long have they been like this?”

“A few months.” She pointed to a worn copy of The 1951 Family Physician lying on the coffee table. “Says it’s the way my heart pumps.”

“Dad takes a water pill for blood pressure. Maybe you have the same thing. You really need to see a doctor.”

“I don’t want anyone to know. You find out for me. You’re going to be the nurse.”

Elizabeth scowled. So much for a long-awaited apology. All her grandmother was after was a free medical consultation. But it was a way to connect, and her grandmother certainly needed the help. And despite all her grandmother had put her through, she was still family.

Elizabeth put her hand on Grandmother’s shoulder. “Okay, Grandma. I’ll see what I can find out.” She gave her shoulder a sympathetic pat. Her swollen legs did look painful.

“Good! Now, I’ve got more to say. I’ll make tea, and I baked those brownies you liked so much. Don’t know if you eat ‘em since you’re a model.” At Elizabeth’s confused expression, the old woman added, “Karl sent me the picture of you posing on a billboard. Your blue eyes were violet and brown hair, black, just like the actress, Elizabeth Taylor. She was a pretty little thing.”

Elizabeth followed Grandmother into the kitchen. “Really? Dad keeps you up on the news?”  Elizabeth chuckled at her grandmother’s offhand remark, close to a compliment.

“Sit down. I’ll be right back.” She turned on the stove burner under the teakettle and disappeared into a small office off the dining room.

Elizabeth sat awkwardly at the kitchen table. She looked around at the same sheer curtains, GE stove and refrigerator. Nothing had changed from years ago. She fiddled with a strand of hair. What was she up to now?

Grandmother came back with a folded white lace handkerchief in her hand.

“Grandma! I remember that; it was in your jewelry box. You grabbed it from me once.”

“Now you’re older and I’m not going to be alive much longer. There’s no point pretending it isn’t going to happen. I’m giving it to you. It’s your grandfather’s gold pocket watch. Don’t you tell the family.” Grandmother put the watch into Elizabeth’s outstretched hand.

Elizabeth unwrapped it, set aside a note lying on top to read later, then examined the pocket watch. She raised her eyebrows. “It’s beautiful.” She ran a finger over the floral engraved case, opened the latch, and stared at a sepia photo of a young woman. “Who is this?”

“Humph… Who knows? Your grandfather died and the hospital sent me his clothes bag. The watch was in it. Don’t know why they did that. I divorced him two years before.” Grandmother picked up the note. “Look. Just look what he wrote to me. I dedicated each solo performance to this woman. His last words were a confession to me. Infuriating man. So, I want you to find out who she is.”

“How can I…?” Elizabeth frowned.

Grandmother pointed to the picture. “He threw this in my face to get even for divorcing him. He had plenty of other women. I chucked it in the jewelry box drawer years ago so I’d forget.”

That explained why she was so upset when Elizabeth had found the mysterious, lace-wrapped item as a child. “Grandma, I didn’t know.”  Even though Elizabeth was older now, it was a lot to take in.

“You were too young to understand. I’ll give you this, though. You were the only grandchild interested in Gustav back then, doing all that research at the library about his life and asking questions. Even so, you were too young to know.”

Elizabeth sighed. “Dad left Mom for another woman, remember? I was plenty old enough to understand.”

“You were, what, sixteen then?”

“Fifteen.” Still too young, but she’d finished crying about it years ago.

“You can understand why I want you to find out who that woman is. You know more about boys’ evil ways now. Same goes for men.”

If Grandma only knew, she had just broken up with an older boy, who, she suspected might have had evil ways and left her for another. Elizabeth held up the opened pocket watch. “But… I can’t just show the picture around and ask people, ‘Do you know this woman?’ Besides, you’ve had years. Haven’t you tried looking yourself?”

“Like I said, I threw it in the jewelry box and forgot about it. I got it out for you when I found out you were in the area. Looked inside again and… You know the rest. Gustav was a private man; never talked about his life before he immigrated here. He came and went as he pleased. I never asked why, when, or with whom. I just knew there were other women. All that’s beside the point. Elizabeth, you know how to do research. This woman was part of Gustav’s life, so…. You’ll find out about her for your reason, and the other reason for me.”

A Novel Coming Fall 2021

Small - Three Years of Her Life 6x9 cover final

Three Years of Her Life is a book based on real and fictional characters

There are twists and turns, crises, romance (sighs) and travel in the story. This is Chapter One of the 2021 final version. Next phase — publishing Fall 2021.

A novel’s history from 2018

It’s was a lucky, 6/21/18 Summer Solstice day! An encouraging text message from son Ted that he read the “First Three Pages” (the old version was titled Sunset Inn- a secret keeper’s tale)), and it is a job well done. When will page four and five show up?

Ted completely understands how writing a book progresses…many drafts, new and rewritten scenes, even a new title.

Not to get over the top happy, (jumping with joy) but he also read the “About Me,” a job well done too.  (Yay, yippee!)

Your Friend, Elizabeth

  9. C.E.Robinson says:

    Tina, Thanks so much for your read and encouraging comment on First Three Pages. I hoped it had a mystery theme, even though not the thriller type. When I started writing the story, I thought it a dark hidden mystery when on his death bed, famous grandfather said, “No one is to look into my life. That history dies with me.” My imagination took over and I went for it. The plan is to have a first draft by summer (60,000 words), then professionally edited. Structure and story flow important. Happy Writing! Christine

  10. I love the idea of this setting–a quiet world with its own secrets. Already, I see engaging characters, Christine.

      Jacqui, thank you so much for your visit and comment. Excited to know the characters stand out for you. The relationship with grandmother was rocky for many of Elizabeth’s younger years. The change when she gets older is a surprising, happy arc. Christine

    So this is a new (2020) version? Most of the comments are from 2018.
    Do you mind a small critique? First person seems out of place for this sentence: “I had not seen my grandmother since then.” I get that the preceding passage is a memory in first person but aren’t we back in the present when we come to that sentence? I suggest “Elizabeth had not seen her grandmother since then.”
    Just a personal opinion – you have said elsewhere you have worked with an editor so if (s)he did not pick jup on this it’s my bad!
    I certainly would like to read more and hope you get it published. Self-publishing is not so hard. The problem is what comes after – getting folks to buy it. You have to become an expert at marketing. I wish you luck.

    • C.E.Robinson says:

      Frank, thank you for reading the first three pages, and making a comment. The 2018 version was very close to the 2020 one. Instead of deleting it, I changed the content. Yes, I had the manuscript line-edited and the editor kept the tense as is. Perhaps it follows—
      It had been five years…
      The memory content next…
      I had not seen my grandmother since then. Keeping it personal to the memory. It could be written both ways, however the editor didn’t question it. And believe me, he questioned a lot. It was the best learning experience for a newbie writer like me. Worth every dollar spent. You’ll know when the book is launched. I’m following you back. It may end up self-published in the end. Stay safe in these challenging times. 📚 Christine

I find myself very concerned that certain questions on this site have attracted wrong answers that have been marked as accepted. This and this and this in particular are answers that have been accepted but in fact are wrong to the point to verging on crackpottery. Here is another answer that was accepted, but is actually wrong.

While it is fine to have answers that aren't quite right as part of the overall discussion, it rather looks like there is a trend toward hastily accepting answers and a relative lack of sophistication in being able to differentiate good answers from bad ones on the part of people asking questions. This is not a good trend toward establishing a healthy community of users and should be addressed. What should policy be on dealing with accepted answers that are wrong? How about answers that are sort of right which get accepted, but then a better answer comes along?

  • $\begingroup$ AcidFlask is of course talking about me. I am much amused that I just put in my own question in about how to deal with him without realizing he has put in a meta-question about about how to deal with me a few minutes earlier. Please note that AcidFlask has a superb background that could make him a top-notch contributor to this group, whereas I was just volunteering (I thought) to try to help it get off the ground. So, AcidFlask, please don't feel I'm trying to push anything on anybody. I'm far more tempted simply to depart this group entirely! $\endgroup$ May 12 '12 at 9:52

    $\begingroup$ Just a note: some of those questions have downvotes. I don't know if it was you, but please do not downvote a question just because the accepted answer is wrong. $\endgroup$ May 13 '12 at 11:58
  • $\begingroup$ AcidFlask: I agree this can be frustrating. I personally have been told to review parts of my answers, because they were wrong or misleading. I have to admit that sometimes, I forgot to do so. Sending a comment to the concerned acts as a good reminder! $\endgroup$

Whether bad answers are accepted is nothing we can really change, what's important is that the overall voting weeds out the bad answers. Accepting an answer is something the original asker does alone, and there is no way to change it for the community.

If you see a wrong answer that is accepted or upvoted, pointing out the flaws in the answer in a comment and providing a correct answer yourself is the best way to deal with this (you've already done that in the example).

What I personally find very helpful in such a situation is if you find some reputable reference for showing that your answer is correct and the other one wrong. That allows me to do a basic verification of the answers using the reference and vote on them, even if I don't have the necessary knowledge to judge the answers entirely on my own.

    $\begingroup$ Fair enough. I can make a reasonable effort to find external resources to support my statements; however, it is going to be difficult to do, like in the fourth link where there are clearly fundamental conceptual issues which are not conveniently found in a textbook or the like. At some point it feels like it would degenerate into a "my word vs. yours" sort of argument. $\endgroup$ May 12 '12 at 8:09

Whenever you see a question with a (in your opinion) wrong accepted answer, comment on the wrong answer and notify the OP. . Two of those questions are mine, and I haven't been notified on either.

Note that if you expect a long, drawn-out discussion, create a new chat room and let the OP and in-your-opinion-wrong-answerer know in comments. This once happened to one of my posts on Physics.SE, and it played out well-- though one of the answerers never agreed with our result (he kept citing that his PhD friends at Berkeley had worked it out, but that doesn't make an answer correct).

Also, Physics.SE has had a similar drama, long ago, at a much larger scale. It seems to have lost some expert users due to that-- the main issue was that in certain fields/levels of questions, it is impossible for mods to determine which answers are right; and some people felt that "anyone can post a sophisticated-sounding wrong answer to a hard question and not get corrected". Anyway, this "drama" at chem.SE, if it is one, is at a much smaller degree, but its nice that you(both) came to meta to have it straightened out before it got out of hand. It's good that we're addressing this issue now, instead of later.

Back to the topic.

it rather looks like there is a trend toward hastily accepting answers

I for one, wait atleast a day before accepting an answer to let others have a chance. In fact, I accepted Terry's answer after having accepted another on the benzene question. If you've read it carefully (a pretty tedious task for most of Terry's answers, but informative), then you'll realize that he explained it via the same thing that Richard did, but added a note that it's even more different in momentum space. The rest explained a more general problem, on metals. You could call it irrelevant, but not nonsense (of course, I'm no expert, so I may be wrong here)

Also, there isn't much of an issue with hastily accepted answers. You can change the acceptance tick whenever you want, so if you feel you have a better answer, feel free to give it (which you have done, which is good). As I said, if you feel that a particular answer is wrong, let the OP know via a comment .

I hadn't gotten any indication that the accepted answer was wrong, and I liked/understood the accepted answer--so after reading yours I didn't change the acceptance tick.

Unfortunately, science is one of those fields where determining the correctness of an answer isn't as easy as it is on the other SE sites. Not everything is easily experimentally verified, and there can be more than one plausible (not necessarily correct) explanations for something. The Physics.SE post I linked to earlier is a good example of this.

So really, discussing this stuff (preferably on chat) is the only way to straighten it out. Try to keep these discussions civil(not saying you haven't, this is just a note for People From The Future); remember that the other guy is in the same position as you--both of you have a seemingly logical reason to think that s/he is correct.

Anyway, I'll scrutinize those questions of mine in a moment.

Indiana Hoosier Sports Bar to Replace Bricks Pizza in Lincoln Park

New, 1 comment

Hideaway Chicago is waiting for stay at home to lift

Four glasses of beer under the words “coming attractions”
Hideaway Chicago is poised to open once the dine-in ban is lifted.

It’s been two years since Bricks Pizza vacated its Lincoln Park space, and whenever a new tenant is ready to open whenever Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot give restaurants their blessing. Hideaway Chicago is poised to take over the space where Bricks spent 21 years. It’s a Hoosier-friendly pizza and sports bar with jumbo wings, tallboys, and more at 1909 N. Lincoln Avenue.

Hideaway co-owners Brett Dimick and Ryann Hill both attended Indiana University and plan to bring its flavors, as well as its sports and logos, to Hideaway Chicago. They’ll feature what Hill calls “immaculate” breadsticks stuffed with cheese and pepperoni, then braided and covered with olive oil and sea salt. They’re inspired by Bloomington sports bar Kilroy’s, a haven for college students where Dimick once worked as a bartender.

Following the campus theme, the drink selection is casual — $5 tallboys will be offered every day, along with domestic beers like Old Style, Bell’s, and Goose Island, and shots of Malört for $3. There’ll also be tallboy versions of mega-popular spiked seltzer White Claw, “because you just can’t not,” says Hill, who’s bartended at Wrigleyville’s Happy Camper and helped open Indiana craft distillery Hard Truth. “We really want to make a cool neighborhood hangout.”

The old Bricks space wasn’t known to be particularly spacious. Between barstools, bar area seating, and a dining room, the space seats 70 in total, but the owners know they’ll have to “get creative” when it comes to social distancing. The spacious dining room allows for seating six feet apart, and they’re buying tables two at a time to make sure the space is arranged as safely as possible. The bar also contains nine large flat-screens (for when sports someday return), a dart board, and arcade games.

When they bought the bar in March, Hill and Dimick could never have anticipated the massive changes set to roil the hospitality industry in Chicago and across the country. Illinois’s original stay-at-home order, designed to help stem the spread of COVID-19, came just three days after they took over the space. Though the timing was admittedly not ideal, Hill says the extra time and a Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan has allowed them to refresh, renovate, and familiarize themselves with running a kitchen. “Even though this COVID thing is a crisis, it’s given us an opportunity to ease into it and make sure doing everything right.”

The location lies in between Old Town’s alcove of college bars on North Avenue and Wells Street, and the formerly boisterous corner of Armitage and Lincoln, near college bars like Gamekeepers, Stanley’s Kitchen & Tap, and Sedgwick’s Bar & Grill once drew crowds. The trio of spaces remain vacant.

Hideaway Chicago is poised to debut shortly after Illinois’s stay-at-home order is lifted. Stay tuned for an official opening date.

Hideaway Chicago, 1909 N. Lincoln Avenue, Opening TBD.

Beyond the Click-Through: Revisiting Web Banners as Billboard

I used to hate web banners with a passion – not the kind that sit at the top of the page or to the side, but the ones that literally scrolled across the text I was reading. These are perhaps the dumbest form of interruption marketing I can think of. If you really want to tick someone off into not buying your product or service, this is a great way to go. Essentially you’re saying: “We know what you were reading may have been amazingly important to you but we will prevent you from reading it – at least for a few seconds – until you click the “x” to remove our ad.”

Thank you for letting me get that off my chest.

That said, not all banners are as evil as that variety. And it’s time we gave some of those lesser intrusive web banners a new look without measuring them solely on whether or not someone clicked on it.

“Why?” you say. “Isn’t clicking through the banner to the website the whole point?”

Actually, no. Let’s talk about the worst-kept secret around: People are clicking through less and less. Not always because the banner is bad creatively, but because we’re there for another purpose – to read an article, watch a video, etc. We don’t want to be taken away from that. But does that mean we completely tune out web banners that make us aware of the product or service? Not usually. I’ve seen many a service that I am aware of and understand its benefits well enough…but have never clicked through to the website. I don’t have to. I get what they’re selling. It’s just that I don’t need to have an in-depth experience with them at this specific moment and may buy from them later. Is that bad? I argue that no – it is not.

How is it different than most of the billboards on the highway that you see on your way to work? That’s for awareness. You’re not going to dial their number or visit their website while driving 65mph. But if they’ve done their job well, you’ll remember it.

But that’s the extent of the relationship.

Web banners may work in a similar fashion for awareness yet cost significantly less and have at least 2 advantages:

1) They’re hopefully placed in a setting where your target audience tends to frequent. The traditional billboard is placed in an area where anyone could pass by.

2) There a chance, albeit a dwindling one, that someone will visit your site after viewing the ad. There’s an even smaller chance when you have a traditional billboard that merely has your name, logo and headline on it. Brand building? Maybe. Action taken as a result? Unlikely.

Billboards as we’ve known them aren’t dead. It’s just that we need to be demanding more of them. It’s no longer enough to stick a billboard on a “high traffic” road and say that the ultimate measure of success is that more people are aware of the brand when there are lower cost options to potentially achieve the same thing or better.

Which leads us back to web banners. Let’s agree that click-throughs are generally atrocious – .1% or 1 in 1000. But if we’re to look beyond that and focus more on the awareness/recall factor, we can see that this may not matter nearly as much as we thought, case in point the recent Mashable article, “Why Banner Ads Are Having A Banner Year.”

Yes, you should hold web banners accountable as part of the overall marketing mix to reach your goals. But their success or failure should not be measured in clicks alone. Which is why I think cost per impression (CPM) gets a bad rap at times.

To be clear, I don’t recommend web banners as part of every mix, but it’s time to revisit how they’re judged. In the same vein, it’s time to hold traditional billboards under the microscope too. Could you find greater interactivity in an airport billboard, billboard on an subway station platform (here in Chicago, I’d say we have a good 5 minutes standing next to the message of choice while waiting for a CTA train) or on the train/bus itself where people spend even more time. And beyond placement, are there texting options, QR codes or other immediate response devices that make that ad go farther?

That’s the funny thing about the new media choices. We’re so focused on adding entire new channels, we forget that the old ones we’ve known still have potential use in the right situation. As long as we know which metric to look at and understand it’s not always about the click.

After news late last week that a reporter brought an information non-disclosure lawsuit against a government office in China’s financial center of Shanghai, some media in China asked whether this might push China toward a more open society. The reporter was using “Shanghai Municipal Government Ordinance on Openness of Information”, a local ordinance on government information disclosure passed back in 2004, to support his case. Southern Metropolis Daily, one of the country’s top newspapers, called the pending lawsuit “historic”. “We salute this reporter’s courage, and even more we hope people pay attention to this new topic of discussion”, the paper said. [PDF of Beijing Youth Daily editorial, June 3 here:pdf_article651.pdf]. [PHOTO: The State Council announces release of China environmental report in the spirit of disclosure, June 5, 2006, from Central People’s Government website].
[UPDATE: CMP’s mainland media sources are confirming the reports we cover here are so far the only that have appeared on this case in China, although the original coverage, by China Youth Daily, was picked up by a handful of other papers. There is apparently no national ban or limitation on coverage, but Shanghai media have avoided the story altogether, which may suggest a local ban is in force.]
This has all the hallmarks of a great story — a little guy up against recalcitrant, entrenched leaders, the question of important new legislation this year (the State Council is considering a national mandate for disclosure of government information), the perennial questions of political reform and free speech, etc. There was coverage by Hong Kong’s Ming Pao and Apple Daily, who regurgitated the original China Youth Daily story – and blogger ESWN (of course) picked up the basics from Ming Pao.
The critical question here is what impact cases like Ma Cheng’s, and the attending publicity (should coverage continue to be permitted), could potentially have on A) the public debate over disclosure of government information in China, B) on the effective implementation of local ordinances as well as, possibly, the national one, and C) on the perceived role of journalism in China. The case could provide greater impetus for action in the State Council, which entered a proposed “Ordinance on Government Information Release” (政府信息公开条例) into this year’s legislative calendar.
Hu Shuli, managing editor of Caijing magazine, wrote of the proposed State Council ordinance in April this year that “when looking back again after thousands of years, Chinese people will see that today is another new milestone in their history” [SEE “The Imperative of Information Freedom”, by Hu Shuli, translated Far Eastern Economic Review, May 2006, p. 62-63].
After government suppression of information about the SARS epidemic in 2003, public access to information became a more immediate concern for Chinese. In late 2003, the city of Guangzhou became the first to implement a local ordinance on information disclosure. The municipality of Shanghai came next, followed by Hubei, Jilin and Jiangsu provinces. Responding to public incidents, various government offices, such as the State Food and Drug Administration, issued their own ordinances or regulations on information disclosure.
The problem, as ever in China, is making the government stand by the letter of its own laws and regulations. The Ma Cheng case, which domestic Chinese media are saying is the “first time ever in China a reporter has sued a government office for violating his right to carry out reporting”, is one attempt to press the government to make good on its promises.
Behind this case about public disclosure of government information is a debate about the role of journalism in China. One legal expert quoted by domestic media said that Chinese citizens are the intended target of the disclosure ordinances, and that journalists using the ordinances as journalists per se may find the way blocked legally. Southern Metropolis Daily related the case directly to the question of protections for journalism.
The first report on the Shanghai case came from China Youth Daily, a newspaper published by the Chinese Communist Youth League on June 2. It included comments from a Fudan University professor about the probable success of a lawsuit as either a “citizen” or a “journalist”. Also interesting is Ma Cheng’s claim that his request for a media interview was treated by one Shanghai government office as a petition for redress, which might suggest either confusion as to how media requests should be handled or deliberate abuse of the petitions system to put journalists off:
China Youth Daily, June 2, 2006 – “The final result is not important – the crux is really making sure the relevant [government] departments attach importance to the right of journalists to do reporting.” Today Ma Cheng (马骋), a reporter for the law and politics section of a Shanghai newspaper told this reporter by telephone that he is suing the City Planning Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Government for not providing access to information, and that the case has already been accepted by Shanghai’s Huangpu District People’s Court. This is the first time ever in China that a reporter has sued a government office for violating his right to report.
Ma Cheng told this reporter he had carried out extensive reporting of a story and on April 18 faxed his interview outline to the Shanghai City Planning Bureau. The bureau had never responded, and on April 23 sent a formal written interview request to the Shanghai City Planning Bureau asking them to provide public records in accordance with “Shanghai Municipal Government Ordinance on Openness of Information” [in Chinese here]. Once again he was ignored.
In filing his case, Ma Cheng asked the court to rule that Shanghai’s City Planning Bureau open up the government information he had requested in accordance with the “Shanghai Municipal Government Ordinance on Openness of Information”.
In a letter addressed to the All-China Journalist’s Association, Ma Cheng said that in recent years as he reported stories he frequently was ignored by various government offices. Some offices [he said] used methods against laws and regulations to limit news reporting, making journalists unable to exercise their right to report (采访权).
On one occasion Ma Cheng abided by the regulations of a particular government office in Shanghai and submitted a written interview request. Little did he know the a few days later he would receive in the post from this office a “Letters and Calls Confirmation Slip” saying his request was being handled as a petition matter and that “according to the ‘Petition Statute’ offices handling petitions must send a written reply [to the petitioner] within 60 days of receiving the request, and in cases of extension notify [the petitioner] of the status of the case”.

The “Shanghai Municipal Government Ordinance on Openness of Information”, implemented in May 2004, says that except in cases where disclosure is prohibited, government information regarding the economy, administration of society and public services should be disclosed or provided in when requested.

One month after the “Provision” took effect, 70 year-old Shanghai resident Dong Ming filed a lawsuit against the Real Estate Bureau of Shanghai’s Xuhui District alleging “government non-disclosure of information” after being denied access to real estate asset records. This case was called “the first government information disclosure case” [in China]. But Dong Ming eventually lost his case.
A proposed “Ordinance on Government Information Release” has made it into the State Council’s legislative calendar for this year. This “Ordinance” would make government disclosure of information mandatory, with disclosure the rule and non-disclosure the exception, changing the secretive prior rule of “secrecy on principle, disclosure on exception”.
Huang Hu, an expert on laws and regulations at Fudan University’s School of Journalism, said Ma Cheng would have no problem bringing his case for government non-disclosure before the court in the capacity of a civilian, because of the “Shanghai Municipal Government Provision on Openness of Information”. But alleging before the court that a government office violated his right to access information as a journalist would have little legal basis. This is because in China, and indeed outside China, there are no specific regulations addressing the journalist’s right to reportage, and government offices were under no legal obligation to accept approaches from news reporters. “The object of [these regulations concerning] information disclosure is the citizen, but do not mean the government is under any obligation to release information to journalists”
In the past, some within the industry have pointed out that the media are not organs representing the will of citizens and are not the legal agents of the people. In the obtaining of information, journalists do not enjoy any special privileges not accorded to citizens. While their profession demands that they must pay attention to the affairs of government, they are not carrying out the work of the state in gathering such government information. Because of this, when being denied information, media cannot take legal action in the capacity of plaintiff. Reporters may only sue in the capacity of citizens. This means that even if a court hands a victory to the reporter, their decision will in no way mean information must be made available to the media in question. Therefore, legal victories for journalists per se lose much of their significance.
… Ma Cheng told this reporter that his suit was filed in accordance with the “Shanghai Municipal Government Provision on Openness of Information” and mainly seeks disclosure of information, not emphasizing his right to reportage as a journalist. Of course, he also submitted a letter explaining his actions to the All-China Journalist’s Association, saying he was seeking to “test the use of civil law for recourse in the rights of journalists to conduct reportage”.
The next day, Beijing Youth Daily, the newspaper of the Beijing Communist Youth League, ran the following piece on its editorial page. The article was written by Yang Shou (杨涛), a prosecuting attorney in Jiangxi Province:
HEADLINE: The ice-breaking significance of the government disclosure case
Beijing Youth Daily, June 3, 2006 — [First paragraph is a summary of case as reported in China Youth Daily… In regards to right to report, the law does not say anything explicit. The general theory holds that the right to report is a right (权利) and not a power (权力). Therefore, the act of reporting by a journalist customarily requires consent of the person being interviewed. Exceptions are made, however, for information concerning the public interest – citizens should have a right to know information, and journalists have a right and duty to report it.
It should be said that Ma Cheng’s lawsuit is reasonable, proper and lawful. The “Shanghai Municipal Government Ordinance on Openness of Information” stipulates that information concerning planning issues, such as city planning and land use, belong to the category of information that should be made available to the public. Well then, if Ma Cheng cannot access the abovementioned information, he has reason to seek information and interviews with the Shanghai City Planning Bureau, and if his requests are denied, he can act in accordance with the provisions, which say: “Citizens, legal persons and other organizations that feel the government has violated the concrete forms of administrative conduct prescribed in this document and violated their legal rights and benefits, may request reconsideration in accordance with the law, and if proper reconsideration is not made may bring legal action; citizens, legal persons and other organizations may file a lawsuit directly with the People’s Court”.
On the one hand, Ma Cheng’s lawsuit strives for the citizen’s right to know. Lately, a number of local governments have come out with statutes on disclosure of government information, but a national “Ordinance on Government Information Release” has never been created. Citizens’ means of obtaining government information are imperfect. Only by going through a succession of concrete lawsuits can we make sure these local initiatives work, in this way bringing the public’s attention [to the issue] and promoting the creation of a national law and making sure the public’s right to know becomes a reality. One the other hand, his lawsuit is strives for the right for journalists to conduct reporting. China does not yet have laws protecting news reporters, and because the law makes no provisions on protection of the rights of journalists to conduct interviews, journalists are denied interviews by government offices and their employees, and sometimes even attacked. Through the use of specific legal cases like [Ma’s] the idea of protecting journalists’ right to report will receive the attention it deserves from society, allowing the media to be more effective in carrying out their watchdog role. I believe that striving after these rights will promote more timely and direct information throughout society, serving the public interest and avoiding harm. It will make news reports more impartial, free, and more importantly, members of society can then more effectively obtain information, and be therefore more equipped to safeguard their legal rights.
On the same day as the Beijing Youth Daily editorial, Southern Metropolis Daily ran its own in page 2. The editorial directly addresses the implications of Ma’s case for the work of journalists and seeks to dissolve distinction between “journalist” and “citizen” in the debate over information disclosure. It also discusses “supervision of public opinion” (舆论监督), the government mandate for the media to supervise lower-level officials, businesses and other aspects of society. The implication is that enforceable laws and regulations on disclosure would better enable reporters to carry out this social duty:
Southern Metropolis Daily, June 3, 2006 – According to a report by Beijing Youth Daily, a Shanghai reporter named Ma Cheng has sued Shanghai’s City Planning Bureau for repeatedly avoiding his requests for an interview for a story he was working on. In his suit, Ma requests that the bureau disclose government information in accord with the “Shanghai Municipal Government Ordinance on Openness of Information”. This case has already been accepted by Shanghai’s Huangpu District People’s Court. This is China’s first case of a reporter suing a government office for violating his right to report – its meaning is no trivial matter and deserves the attention of the nation.
The understand the importance of the case, one first has to be clear about the history and current practice of information disclosure in China. For a long time, we have been taught in our educational curriculum that protecting national secrets is the responsibility of all citizens, and that overlooking or playing down of the information demands of the people was an important function of the government. Along with the opening of society and the global information age, the ordinary understanding is that governments make the transition from a social control orientation to a service orientation and that official business be discussed openly.
[Summary of local ordinances since SARS in 2003 and this year’s possible national ordinance…
In accordance with modern principles of governance, these [local] rules and regulations are a mandate for public disclosure of government information – the idea is to make disclosure the rule and non-disclosure the exception. The scope of disclosure should be the large and cases of government secrecy rare, removing the gap between government disclosure and public demand for information. Using the news media to release government information is without a doubt the first choice in meeting the above-stated needs in today’s society – it’s the same in countries throughout the world. To meet the demands of regulations on government information disclosure, Shanghai and other local governments have already established news spokesperson systems, regularly issuing government information to news media. Also without a doubt, the news media are the first choice for citizens to learn government information.
However, due to the sustained influence of the social control model of governance … the implementation of government disclosure ordinances has not been thorough. In many local areas disclosure of information is a mere formality. The important is avoided and the trivial dwelled upon [in the release of information], empty talk is put out and nothing done, or pockets of interest use [information release] as a political device, so that it has become a tool for misleading the choices of ordinary people. In recent years a whole host of problems, from the real-estate market and fees in the public service industry to price-rigging by monopoly enterprises, all have sown doubt among the people and experts. In such a situation, supervision by public opinion [Chinese “watchdog journalism”] is the most basic protection of disclosure of government information. Because of this [need to resort to enterprising reporting under a state mandate for investigative journalism to ensure disclosure] those officials who are abusing their positions or asleep at the controls avoid contact with news media and even impede media reports. Recent cover-ups of safety accidents, mine disasters, etc. are classic examples of this. We must no overlook the work of journalists who do their jobs with utmost respect and stop at nothing to reveal the truth, getting government offices to make relevant information available to the public.
Although China does not yet have laws or regulations protecting the right to report, but the above facts and analysis confirm what is common sense to the people of our nation, that the government disclosing information to the public is the exact same thing as disclosing information to the news media. Unimpeded reportage by journalists watches and ensures government disclosure of information. This is now the convention in the law and practice of developed countries throughout the world. Although some countries do not have specific laws [concerning the right to report] they incline toward the media in judicial decisions, particularly in cases involving the government offices and the media, so that the former find it difficult to win cases.
The case brought by Shanghai journalist Ma Cheng against the City Planning Bureau has already been officially accepted by the courts. Before the case is heard, it’s impossible to tell what the outcome will be. But no matter what the result, this means opening a new chapter in history, and will lead people to think a great deal more about the question of journalists’ right to reportage and disclosure of government information. Whether this reporter wins or not it not important. What is important is that he has the courage to raise this lawsuit. What is important is that a new chapter in history is now opening. We salute this reporter’s courage, and even more we hope people pay attention to this new topic for discussion.

Alain Ducasse revitalises Hong Kong presence with Rech restaurant

Rech by Alain Ducasee Interconti HK.jpg

Legendary chef Alain Ducasse’s first foray into food was not a runaway success. As a child growing up in France he would watch his grandmother cooking and aged about 11 he decided to make a chocolate roulade himself. “My grandmother let me attempt this, although I was not up to the task,” Ducasse recalls. “Chocolate ended up everywhere and in the end the cake did not resemble a roulade at all!”

Luckily for the culinary world Ducasse was not put off by his early endeavour. Last month saw the opening of his 25th restaurant worldwide. He has chosen Asia for the first international outpost of Rech Alain Ducasse, a French seafood restaurant replacing his Spoon concept at the Intercontinental hotel in Hong Kong.

A Smattering of Michelin Stars for The Peninsula Shanghai

Sir Elly’s

Given the mystifying exclusion of The Peninsula hotel’s restaurants in the Michelin Guide Hong Kong, it’s good to see The Pen’s Shanghai counterpart recognised.

Yi Long Court and Sir Elly’s at The Peninsula Shanghai have been awarded two and one Michelin star respectively in the inaugural Michelin Guide Shanghai, announced today.

Chopstix dined at both restaurants earlier this year and can wholeheartedly give them the thumbs up.

Best Restaurants for Singapore F1

Singapore skyline at Sky on 57, Marina Bay Sands

Singapore skyline at Sky on 57, Marina Bay Sands

In Singapore for the F1? In between watching the Night Race and Kylie here’s Chopstix’s pick of the best restaurants near the race track.

Saint Pierre

Scallop at Saint Pierre

A long time darling of Singa’s fine dining scene, Saint Pierre has recently moved to a new location in one of the Fullerton heritage buildings overlooking the Marina in the CBD.

Chef Emmanuel Stroobant’s fancy fare sits better in this table clothed, chandeliered setting though the vibe is modern rather than stuffy. Stroobant combines French techniques with tip top Japanese ingredients with wonderful results. The service is top notch too.

Tasting menu only for dinner ( choose between six or ten courses, meat or vegetarian) plus a spectacular French cheese cart and a petit fours trolley.

Around 7pm you’ll catch the jaw dropping sunset reflected in the Marina Bay Sands spectacular across the bay.

1 Fullerton Road

Gunther Hubrechsen doesn’t get as much glory as the showier chefs in Singapore which is a travesty because his food (mod European) is superb and his eponymous resto makes a refreshing change from all the shopping mall and hotel set ups in the Lion City.

Instead, Gunther’s is based in a converted shop-house on an historic side-street. A tiny but cute belle époque-esqe bar leads to a surprisingly modern dining area.

Star attraction is the vast tray of impressive raw ingredients, including live seafood, shown to each diner at the start of the meal and testament that produce is king here. Signature dish is cold angel hair pasta with caviar.

That the customers are overwhelmingly regulars is proof of Gunther’s appeal.

36 Purvis Street

Beetroot Collection at Jaan, Singapore

Beetroot Collection at Jaan, Singapore

Restaurants with a knock out view usually don’t bode well on the food front but that’s not the case with Jaan. Although the 70th floor vista of central Singapore will impress even the most spoilt and/or jaded traveller, the cuisine – and the service, also match it.

All tables at this compact restaurant are cleverly set up to enjoy the outlook overlooking the river, marina and beyond to the Straits sea.

The kitchen is in good hands with Kirk Westaway the long time sous promoted to head chef whose notched up a Michelin star. Food-wise we’re talking tasting menu only at dinner. Expect high end French with contemporary twists and trickery that elicit lots of smiles and admiring “aahs”.

First comes a plinth of amuse bouches that looks like a work of art. Then a 55 degree cooked egg is cracked and poured into a dish before you in a cute nod to Singaporean coffee shops way of serving soft boiled eggs.

Level 70, Swissotel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Road

Shinji by Kanesaka

[UDPATE: Raffles Arcade is now closed for refurbishment until mid 2018 and Shinji has relocated across the street to the Carlton hotel.]

This menu-less, omakase (“I’ll leave the choice up to you”) restaurant has caused quite a stir in Singapore and has been awarded a Michelin star in the city state’s inaugural Michelin Guide. It’s the brainchild of renowned Tokyo chef Shinji Kanesaka, as the name suggests.
In Singapore, a team of Japanese chefs work under the watchful eye of master chef Koichiro Oshino who has been with Shinji for over 20 years.

They work behind a wooden counter carved in a single piece from a 220 year old hinoki or Japanese Cypress tree which is as stunning as the food they prepare.

Only fish and seafood is served but not just sushi and sashimi there’s plenty of grilled dishes too including 5-hour steamed Hokkaido abalone.

Waku Ghin

Exclusive has become an over used word but it’s a fitting description for Waku Ghin. There are just 25 covers, dotted among four private rooms each with a chef preparing a 10 course tasting menu on a teppanyaki grill.

This is Sydney-based chef Tetsuya Wakuda’s first foray outside of Australia and is an extremely hot ticket in Singapore – especially since it zoomed into the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2012. The restaurant has since earned a Michelin star.

To start is raw seafood, maybe sea urchin and abalone, followed by “salads” such as scallops with daikon and oyster. Standout dish is the marinated shrimp with sea urchin and caviar.

The the real magic begins as your private chef cooks a succession of fish and meat dishes such as crab legs steamed on a salt bed and wagyu beef with grated wasabi. It’s part theatre, part cooking lesson.

All dishes can be expertly paired with wines or saki from biodynamic Sancerre to an Australian chardonnay produced especially for the chef.

Local enfant terrible Justin Quek trained with some of the best chefs in France and now mixes Singaporean Chinese flavours with classical French techniques and vice versa.

His impressive menu includes foie gras braised in soy sauce in the same style as Teochew braised duck and xiao long bao filled with foie gras and truffle consomee.

A particular triumph is JQ’s Beef Broth with Braised Tendon, Ribs & Slices of Wagyu. The chef says it’s inspired by Singaporeans eating Beef Noodles at hawker stalls at the end of a night out to avoid a hangover the next day. His version comes with a shot of Jack Daniel’s added.

Osteria Mozza

There’s always a gathering outside Osteria Mozza of those without the foresight to book ahead at this popular Mario Batali outpost.

Inside, the dark wood, white table cloths and sizeable bar transports diners from Marina Bay Sands mall to New York. Batali’s trademark rock soundtrack adds a convivial atmosphere but never detracts from the attentive, friendly service.

Under the helm of executive chef, David Almany, the menu is Italian American boasting half a page of mozzarella and a full page of pasta as well as exemplary antipasti, meat, fish and of course, dolce. There’s also a great selection of Italian wines, thanks to co owner Joe Bastianich.

If you can’t get a seat here, Batali’s other joint next door does the best pizza in Singapore.

[UDPATE: In June 2019 El Celler de Can Roca joined the newly created Best of the Best list as part of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards. This “hall of fame” celebrates previous winners of the no 1 slot on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and are not eligible to be voted for on the list going going forward.]

High above Hong Kong inside Felix restaurant at the top of The Peninsula hotel Joan Roca the head chef and eldest of three brothers behind one of the world’s most famous restaurants, El Celler de Can Roca, is assembling two dishes.

The first, a sous vide fish, Joan explains is inspired by his home of Girona in Spain and can be found on the menu at the Rocas’ three Michelin starred establishment there which has twice been crowned the World’s Best Restaurant.

The second, crispy pork, is a new creation that’s an homage to Hong Kong his host city today. The demonstration, and the reason Joan is so far from home, is part of an exclusive dining experience the Rocas are holding at The Peninsula organised by American Express Invites for Centurion cardholders.

Home Daily Devotional Rhapsody Of Realities Tuesday 1st

Rhapsody Of Realities Tuesday 1st

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us (1 John 5:14).

Ephesians 6:18 says, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints.” Notice that it says, “Praying always”; not “Praying sometimes.” It parallels what Jesus said in Luke 18:1: “…Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.”

If you’re a praying Christian, you’ll be an effective Christian; effective through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said to His disciples, “…without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5). In prayer, you maintain
that connection in your communication; you remain open to His will and bring others to Him in your heart, as you pray for them.

Some think prayer is the response of the helpless or the weak to insurmountable and overwhelming challenges; no! Prayer, primarily, is fellowship with God; and even though when one is oppressed or
suffers injustice, he should pray, that isn’t the reason for prayer. Prayer is the joyful response of the one who, with a heart full of faith, trusts in the living God.

Prayer is a response, more to God’s invitation to pray, than the response to a situation. He invited us to pray because He intended to answer. So, the greatest part of prayer isn’t the prayer itself; it’s the answer. We haven’t had a great prayer time if we didn’t receive
answers to our prayer! Irrespective of what we have said in prayer, it’s God’s response that truly matters.

Thanks be unto God! We’re ordained to receive answers when we pray, because He said if we pray according to His will—His rule for prayer, which is praying in the Name of Jesus—He hears us. If He heard us, then He answered us. That’s the beauty of prayer: the fact that we’re guaranteed of a hearing (1 John 5:14). You ought to rejoice each time you pray and say like Jesus, “Father, I thank you, because you hear
me always” (John 11:42). Hallelujah!

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the blessing, privilege, and opportunity of prayer; a channel for rich fellowship with you. I trust you with my life, and I’m confident that my future is secure; I’ll fulfil your destiny for me gloriously, as I remain yielded to your Spirit, guided by your wisdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:17; Ephesians 6:18 AMPC

Jersey Singer-Songwriter Rick Barth Releases Acoustic Roots-Oriented Sophomore Album

I met Rick Barth in June 2018 and at the time wrote about his 2015 debut album Hand Me Down Soul. Now the singer-songwriter from Budd Lake, N.J. is out with his second record titled Fade. It’s a nice continuation of his acoustic-oriented rock, singer-songwriter ballads, as well as country and roots-oriented music.

While Barth has been performing on the New Jersey music scene as a solo artist and a member of various bands and duos for about three decades, he only decided to start writing his own music less than 10 years ago. His named influences include Butch Walker, Ryan Adams, John Lennon, Ryan Bingham, Tom Petty, Michael Trent, Jason Isbel and Parker Milsap. I can also hear traces of John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen and Steve Earle.

Let’s get to some music. I’d like to kick things off with the opener We Had Fun (Didn’t We?). Like all other tunes on the album, the song was written by Barth.

Next up is the title track featuring nice pedal steel guitar accents.

A vocal highlight on the album is Shine, in my opinion, where Barth’s voice beautifully blends with backing vocalist Louise Trezza.

Here is another tune I like: Stranger Things. Check out the nice dobro work!

The last track I’d like to call out is Change, a country song that to me is perhaps the musical highlight of the record. I dig the beautiful violin playing and the pedal steel guitar, which sound great together. This is perhaps somewhat ironical coming from a guy who used to say he doesn’t like country. Oh well, it just goes to show again that genres don’t need to define great music.

Apart from lead vocals, Barth handles guitars, bass and mandolin. In addition to Louise Trezza (backing vocals), other musicians on the album include Keith Dunham (bass), Wayne Wilson (pedal steel), Jim Reeber (keyboards), Rick Krueger (lap steel, dobro), Ralph Heiss (bass), Dawn Patrick (violin) and Rob Ot (percussion).

Fade was produced by Barth and Dunham and recorded at Rifftide Studio in Ledgewood, N.J. Dunham also served as recording engineer. The album is available on streaming platforms and since yesterday on CD through Barth’s website. By the way, the picture on the cover shows the former Bethlehem Steel plant in Bethlehem, Pa., which during its heyday was one of the world’s largest steel producers.

The Wisdom From Heaven

October 10, 2006

What would you be willing to bet your salvation on?

We are all fallible humans. Our understanding is incomplete on many if not all subjects. If our salvation depended on complete and perfectly accurate knowledge and flawless reasoning, none of us would be saved. Thank God that is not the basis for salvation!

Eph 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

1 Cor 2:4-5 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

1 Cor 3:18-20 Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

1 Cor 8:1b-3 Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God.

One who is a Christian has bet his salvation on the redeeming work of Jesus on the cross, and in his resurrection. That is the core of the gospel according 1 Cor 15:1-11.

Hopefully, none of us would willingly to bet our salvation that we are correct on every point of doctrine. Yet some people are willing to write off as lost those who disagree with them on such subjects as communion cups, missionary societies, or musical instruments. In effect, they demonstrate a willingness to bet someone else’s salvation on the correctness of their views. Those folks have moved a long way beyond the positions of their predecessors of 100 years ago. Consider the following statement by James Harding in 1901:

I have been taught all my life that the Scriptures teach ‘by precept by approved apostolic example and by necessary inference,’ and it is certain that this is correct….I am sure it is safe to do as they did; I am not certain it is safe to do any other way.

It is one thing to say that following this hermeneutic is safe, and entirely another to say that abiding by all of its conclusions is essential to salvation. Some even go beyond that today, saying in effect that all of the inferences drawn by their faction of the church are free from errors, and that any deviation from their view is rebellion against God. It would be better to exhibit the kind of wisdom James described in chapter 3:

James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

James 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

We need the humility to admit that our knowledge and our reasoning are faulty. There are some things God has not told us. When we insist on reading between the lines of scripture and binding what we think we see there, we are not being wise. Let’s pray for the wisdom that leads us to do good deeds together, to extend mercy to one another, and to seek peace.

One comment

  1. Betting on salvation based on fallible human understanding just might get us in trouble.Because we will never reach perfection in this life we certainly look to the blood of Jesus, and a loving God who is merciful beyond our imagination.So….I bet my salvation ultimately on God’s grace.

Simple Easy at home facials

Some people are beginning to venture back out into the world for personal care services. For those of us who aren’t ready to go to the spa for facials, I wanted to share a step by step routine on how to give your self a great facial at home. If you have products at home that you absolutely love use them. If you don’t, research and see if your favorite spa offers virtual appointments so he or she can make suggestions on what products would be appropriate for your skin.

1.Cleanse skin with appropriate cleanser. Dry or mature skin try a creamy hydrating cleanser. Oily? Try a gel cleanser. Acne prone try a cleanser with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. (steaming the skin is optional before or during this step.)

2.Exfoliation.Both chemical or manual exfoliation loosen dead skin cells that cause dullness to the skin. When deciding about chemical exfoliation of the skin consider toners that use acids such as lactic (my favorite because its gentle yet effective), glycolic, salicylic and azaleic. For manual exfoliation choose a gentle exfoliant that used rice powder and enzymes as opposed to a rough gritty product what can cause micro tears to the skin. (I recommend manual exfoliation no more than 2-3 times a week.

3. Mask. Choose a facial mask based on the need of your skin. For dryer mature skin try a hydrating gel, sheet mask or something rich and nourishing. Oily or acne prone? Check out clay based or masks that contain sulfur.

4. Serums. Serums are great for targeted skincare needs. The molecules in serums are small so it is easier for them to penetrate the skin and do its intended job. Choose based on what it is that your skin needs.

5. Moisturizer and eye cream should be chosen based on your skin needs and/or the time of year. Texture is also something to consider when choosing your moisturizer.

Hoping these tips were helpful!
