Product Description:

This disc is essential for Jussi Bjoerling fans--doesn't that include almost everyone?--and for anyone who wants a distinctive sampling from recorded opera's most eloquent age. Best are Bjoerling's duets with baritone Robert Merrill--especially the classic "Au fond du temple saint" from The Pearl Fishers--and the scene with Renata Tebaldi, "Signore, ascolta; non piangere, Liu," from Turandot. Although the sound is variable--and sometimes disappointingly, annoyingly glitch-ridden in these recordings made between 1950 and 1959--the voice, the style, and the passion of the inimitable Bjoerling more than make up for it. --David Vernier

OMGYes is a sexual pleasure research website. After conducting research with more than 2,000 women, ages 18-95, we created a website where real people - not actors - share their stories and demonstrate their techniques. Then, users get the chance to actually practice and receive feedback along the way, through touchable simulations.

OMGYes is for women, men, and couples who are curious about how to achieve even more sexual pleasure, stronger relationships, more conversations, and better orgasms. Our study shows that couples who regularly explore new ways to increase pleasure are 5 times more likely to be happier in their relationships, and 12 times more likely to be sexually satisfied!

Founding Story

Founders Rob Perkins and Lydia Daniller

Founders Rob Perkins and Lydia Daniller

Lydia Daniller and Rob Perkins started OMGYes after a decades-long friendship. A lesbian and a straight guy, the two met in college where conversations about sex led to a realization: in an era that's seemingly so progressive, women's sexual pleasure is still incredibly taboo. There didn’t even seem to be words for the specific things women find pleasurable. They looked for resources and were saddened to find out that even academics and scientists hadn’t researched the details. What started as a series of interviews grew beyond their expectations as so many women were eager to share their stories and insights. Prominent sexologists and researchers joined, excited to study what had never been studied before. Four years later, with 10+ employees in San Francisco, the project is going live - combining film, technology and the first hard data of its kind.

OUTCRY: Stop the shocking cruelty in Libya!

Deutsche Petition

We demand the rescue of the innocent humans from the Libyan internment camps, and the instant closure of those internment camps!

At the european border are humans detained in libyan internment camps, to stop them from fleeing to Europe. What happens in this internment camps was described by Joanne Liu, president of MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors without borders), as the incarnation of human cruelty as its extreme. Humiliation, torture and rape, even pregnant women, is the daily reality of these men, women and children.

WE DEMAND, the immediate stopp of this cruelty in Libya and radical measures by the governments of the european leaders! All reason claims:

  1. The immediate rescue of these men, women and children!
  2. Shelter fit for human habitation (f.e. under the aegis of UN/EU)
  3. The incarceration and indictment, of all people which are accused in this premises, due to the International Criminal Court!

In Libya are different armed groups and several governments, which are controlling different parts of Libya. The following described events are happening within the internment camps of that libyan territory, which is supported by the governments of the EU countries to hold off refugees from Europe.

Joanne Liu, president of MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors without borders), at 13.09.2017,, wording:

What I saw in Libya, is what I would describe as the incarnation of human cruelty as its extreme. I was deeply shocked and I remain really shocked. MSF has been working in what we called detention centres in Libya for the last year. People for the sole "crime" of wanting a better life are piled up, parked in dark rooms with no ventilation, 30 cm square. Unable to even stretch their legs - for days. Starved to illness. And then people looking at me with desperation in their eyes and just whispering: "Get me out of here!" I have heard stories that will hunt me for days if not years. Stories of a pregnant woman who was forced to stand in the middle of the backyard, on one foot, under the sun, until she fell of exhaustion. And that very same woman told me, she said: "But my story is not the worst. There was a man who was hung with his hands up, beaten publicly and then afterwards they reached for his wife who was pregnant and they raped her in a different room." And then she looked at me and she said: "They don´t even respect pregnant women." Torture, abuse, humiliation, public punishment. We read them, and just move on. Going to Libya for me, put stories in pictures behind those words. And knowing what we know, that we keep building and creating policies, that are trapping individuals in this kind of nightmarish environment.

Every nation, every government that is faciliating to send back people to Libya or to keep them contained in Libya, is complicit to massive, massive abuses on human beings.

- (Joanne Liu, International President of Médecins Sans Frontières -MSF, or Doctors Without Borders)

Extremely odd blast from the past! I felt like I had stepped into circa 1986 or a scene from American Psycho.

Great food, lovely garden view, interesting 80's decor and art collection.

Efficient and friendly staff.

$37.00 for a salad. A little pricey.

Great service begins when you are greeted at the door. Our dinner was excellent from crab cakes to Nantucket bay scallops with arugula in a delicious sauce. My companion had the Korean beef tacos. Wine by the glass list was a cut above. Our waiter was both personable and efficient. A lovely evening.

My friends and I tried this restaurant for Restaurant Week Dinner for the first time.
Overall, we all liked food and enjoyed.
However, our waiter’s service was not as good as food, which was very disappointed.
As we didn’t get a bread basket even other tables got, I asked him if we could have it. And he just said “oh you want breads? Ok...”.. Excuse me?? He should not say “oh sorry...”?!
And after the payment, the lady just picked up our card receipts without saying “Thank You”. She said “I need to collect these”.

Floor managers and coat check lady were very nice.
However, personally I am not sure if I want to go back there...

One of the best restaurants in NYC I’m convinced- the food was so impeccable and unique that my friend and I came twice this month. This will be a place I come to again and again and recommend to anyone in town.

We had to ask for the restaurant week menu. It might have been better to have delivered both the regular and restaurant week menus, instead of just the former. Best hamburger I've ever had, will give them that, but $28 is a tad prices for a burger. The greeting staff were amiable and courteous, first rate I'd say. Rather too noisy at lunch for my comfort.

This was our 3rd time having dinner at Michael's. We had Branzino, Scottish Salmon and Rack of Lamb. Exceptional! Not one single, small complaint! For sides - Potato Puree and Haricot - Verts (string beans) with almonds - perfect!! And to end this perfect meal - Michael's cookies - truly, truly the best cookies I've ever had.

I will not lie - this restaurant is not inexpensive - but absolutely worth the cost for such an exceptional meal. Of course, we'll be back : )

Comfortable, elegant dining room. Easy to have a nice conversation. Restaurant Week dinner was tasty but not amazing. Service should have been much more professional for a restaurant in this class. Instead, it seemed as if the servers were untrained college students.

We went for NYC Winter Restaurant Week. Place is very pleasant, nicely decorated and very noisy at lunch time. We were promptly seated. Staff is nice but totally discombobulated, mostly the server of our section: tables seated after us were served before, for instance. After being “watered” to death for 40 minutes we had to call the attention to one of the Maitre D who promptly made sure we got our appetizers! Restaurant Week Menu Selection was good, nothing fancy, but the quality was there and main courses had been prepared with care, unfortunately the desserts were nothing special. Selection of wines by bottles very expensive. We will give another chance to this place

very pleasant dining room, tasteful, quiet, nice view of garden. waiting staff very attentive. excellent appetizer of smoked salmon and excellent dessert of banana brule. the linguine was a bit disappointed... not al dente and the sauce a bit watery.

OpenTable Diner (Washington DC)
5.0  Dined on May 22, 2016

The staff members were exceptionally polite and attentive. Any restaurant would be pleased to employ them. They are a real asset. The food was delicious. My only complaint - and this was out of the restaurant's control - was the problem which I encountered trying to exit the hotel's parking garage. The Calvert Street automatic exit wanted me to pay ninety (90) dollars for parking my car in the garage for just under two hours. By the time that I drove back up to the fifth floor of the garage to exit on Woodley Road, I had gone beyond two hours and was into a third hour, costing me thirty-seven (37) dollars at that exit. Again this was a hotel problem and not the restaurant's, but it spoiled an otherwise great time at this restaurant.

For a quick business breakfast meeting we were here two mornings in a row and did the buffet. Service was efficient and area quiet enough to do what we needed to do.

The food was great. We had a party of 4 and everyone ordered something a little different. The service was above normally and they even made a special request for a cappuccino!! The only hiccup was I used an Open Table Dining Check and no one had seen or used it before. This caused a duplicated charge to my credit card. Other than that, everything was great.

Stone's Throw Restaurant for Lunch was a nice dining experience that allowed privacy for conversation. Unfortunately since it's open to the meeting space below, it's not always as quiet since noise travels upward.

I needed to meet with clients during a convention at the hotel and this was the only logical place to do it on a rainy day. I had red bad reviews so expectations were low. I had the grilled tuna salad. The tuna was perfectly cooked (almost rare) and salad was exceptionally good. Others had club and said it was good. Service was good considering that they appeared to be understaffed having a large convention in the hotel.

In the midst of a busy conference--which is the business of this hotel--it took 10 minutes to get a breakfast table, even with a reservation. It took 45 minutes to get a plate of toast; the pot of coffee for 3 people was tiny; and the waitress never returned with a refill. At ridiculous hotel prices to boot. I'd never go back for breakfast.

Right now, in this chaotic time of almost unprecedented change, we all need information we can trust. And we need reporting on REAL SOLUTIONS. We hear enough about all the problems. But real solutions rarely make the front page. We use algorithms and human editors to create a daily summary of real news focused on the things that ARE working and the solutions that we can apply to our communities, and to our global civilization.

...A movement

The Optimist Daily goes beyond the traditional role of journalism. We seek to actually shift consciousness. Our goal:
100,000,000 people reading our publication every day.

There is only one way our species is going to shift away from chaotic conflict and toward collaborative flourishing, and it starts by changing the way we think. There is an energy and a pattern we create by reading the traditional news – and it is no longer serving us. Instead, we need to add real solutions into our every-day routine.

The old paradigm is broken. The new one is now at your finger-tips. Share these stories on social media, forward them to friends and family, and bring them up in conversation every chance you get.

With the World Business Academy - The Optimist Daily is a joint venture between The Optimist publication and the World Business Academy, pairing an independent international editorial staff with an international nonprofit think tank and business network. This combination brings together solution-oriented journalism and a network of leaders and organizations who are bringing it to the world.

With conscious-changing organizations - We partner with aligned nonprofit organizations and businesses that share the goal of spreading solutions, catalyzing change, and shifting consciousness.

With YOU - You not only help us to spread great news... we are also thankful to have your financial support.

By providing the basic service for free, we seek to find readers who share the mission of spreading solutions in order to shift consciousness.

We are able to offer this service to so many people for FREE only if some people are willing to support the service by voting with their resources. People who become financial backers of this service (we call them Emissaries) make a very affordable monthly payment - equivalent to one sugary drink at a coffee shop. We are founded ONLY by our readers - we don't track you and sell your data, like most other websites, nor are there annoying, spammy ads and deceptive headlines that try and trick you into clicking.

Being an Emissary comes with perks - we have created a premium version of the daily service, which includes at least ten more Solutions News articles, access to our full archives of solutions, and weekly articles from the Optimist View; all from editoral and artistic contributions made by our award-winning team of editors, journalists, and graphic designers. We call our financial supporters "Emissaries" because you are on this special mission with us and you make our work in the world possible.

  • I'm Emissary

    "Now is the time for an all-out movement to shift consciousness. We're spreading the word about The Optimist Daily to our entire network, in an effort to bring in 100,000,000 readers and to change the way humanity understands the new world it is capable of creating. Today, we desperately need to focus on Solutions. Now more than ever."

    - Rinaldo S. Brutoco

Outten & Golden Partner David Lopez Elected as Fellow of the College of Labor & Employment Lawyers

PRNewswire—Outten & Golden LLP

David Lopez, partner-in-charge of Outten & Golden's Washington, DC office, will be inducted this week as a Fellow of the College of Labor & Employment Lawyers, joining current O&G Fellows Wayne N. Outten, Adam T. Klein, Laurence S. Moy and Wendi S. Lazar.

"I am very pleased that the College has recognized the extraordinary accomplishments of my partner David Lopez," said Mr. Outten, the firm's managing partner and a founding member of the College.

Mr. Lopez served as General Counsel of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from April 8, 2010 until December 9, 2016 – the longest serving General Counsel of the agency.  Mr. Lopez was nominated twice by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2010 and 2014.

Mr. Lopez is the first EEOC field trial attorney to be appointed as the agency's General Counsel.  As General Counsel, Mr. Lopez was in charge of the Commission's litigation program, overseeing the agency's 15 Regional Attorneys and a staff of more than 325 lawyers and legal professionals who conduct or support Commission litigation in district and appellate courts across the country.  He has served at the Commission in various capacities for the past 22 years, including as Supervisory Trial Attorney in the Phoenix District Office and Special Assistant to then-Chairman Gilbert F. Casellas.

Prior to joining the EEOC, Mr. Lopez was a Senior Trial Attorney with the Civil Rights Division, Employment Litigation Section, of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, DC. Between 1988 and 1991, Mr. Lopez was an Associate with Spiegel and McDiarmid in Washington, DC.

Mr. Lopez obtained his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1988 and graduated magna cum laude from Arizona State University in 1985, with a B.S. in Political Science.

The College of Labor & Employment Lawyers was founded in 1995 on the 60th anniversary of the National Labor Relations Board and the 30th anniversary of Title VII and Executive Order 11246. The College began as a non-profit professional association honoring leading lawyers nationwide in the practice of labor and employment law. It has now evolved to become an intellectual and practical resource for the support of our profession and our many audiences.

Membership in the College of Labor & Employment Lawyers is by nomination only, limited to those who have met the required qualifications for a period of not less than twenty years. Membership honors those lawyers who have demonstrated their excellence and professionalism to their peers, the bar, bench, and public through longstanding, exceptional performance in the practice of labor and employment law.

Outten & Golden LLP focuses on advising and representing individuals in employment, partnership, and related workplace matters both domestically and internationally. The firm counsels individuals on employment and severance agreements; handles complex compensation and benefits issues (including bonuses, commissions, and stock/ option agreements); and advises professionals (including doctors and lawyers) on contractual issues. It also represents employees with a wide variety of claims, including discrimination and harassment based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, disability, national origin, religion, and age, as well as retaliation, whistleblower, and contract claims. The firm handles class actions involving a wide range of employment issues, including economic exploitation, gender- and race-based discrimination, wage-and-hour violations, violations of the WARN Act, and other systemic workers' rights issues.

Outten & Golden has nine practice groups: Executives & Professionals, Financial Services, Sexual Harassment & Sex Discrimination, Family Responsibilities & Disabilities Discrimination, Lesbian Gay Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Workplace Rights, Discrimination & Retaliation, Whistleblower Retaliation, Class & Collective Actions, and WARN Act.

'Welsh Government must act to attract foreign investment'

This article was first published by the Western Mail.

The Welsh Government has recently defended its FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) performance after EY released figures suggesting that it has halved in the period 2015-2016.

While the government argues that the numbers do not give the complete picture, they do come after recent ONS figures showing that Wales’ share of GDP grew by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2017, down from 0.7% in the fourth quarter of last year.

The accuracy of the statistics should be a matter for a different debate, what is important is that the numbers tell an all too familiar story for Wales: that it is a nation failing to reach its full potential in a challenging environment.

The global economy is in its most precarious position in decades. There is increased competition for FDI between old established and newer, perhaps more needy, nations and political uncertainty in the US and Middle East, as well as the particular challenges of Brexit.

This is underpinned by increasing disparity between the haves and the have nots at home and abroad; and the rise of the digital economy that is fuelling social media use and access to data that informs the public but inadvertently can conspire to undermine investor confidence.

Wales faces the additional challenge of being a net beneficiary of EU funding. Industry bodies across sectors from agriculture to steel, aerospace to automotive, renewable energy to life sciences are consumed by debates about what promises they can secure from Government to underwrite potential funding gaps.

This challenge can be addressed but the Welsh Government needs to make the right moves now.

Investors like certainty, they like consistency and they like to know a country’s leaders have a vision for the future and clear path to get there.

Now is the time for the Welsh Government to step forward to show potential investors it has that vision and that Wales is open for business. This should start with simple short term steps such as more effective communication and strategic marketing of key sectors. That can be followed by medium term activities including education reform to deliver the workforce of the future and finally long term investment in infrastructure.

All these will then present Wales in a strong a positive light on the international scene.

The government then needs to overcome its distaste for picking winners when this might be at the expense of near contenders and even also-rans. There are simply not enough resources in the economy to shore up the lower end of the value chain.

Whether selecting and focussing on the future stars of the Welsh economy or targeting high growth markets to entice investment, it makes sense to deploy resources strategically and where they have the best chance of success.

For example, targeting firms in the compound semiconductor industry and building on the cluster in Cardiff will help Wales build a modern flagship industry, add to the 5,000 jobs it will create and boost the supply chain in the country.

Delivering ecosystem accelerators in the Cyber cluster, life sciences and renewables sectors will draw more innovation from academia into industry than simply entertaining the aspirational ambitions of mega projects such as the Circuit of Wales.

The two City Region deals offer the opportunity to galvanise commitment to investment in infrastructure (SW Metro) and growth (Llanelli Wellbeing village).

In addition the Welsh Government has plans to support programmes such as the Swansea Tidal Lagoon, the Skills Gateway and the supply ecosystem development around Wylfa B. These plans can allay investor fears around infrastructure and skills respectively but they have to demonstrate progress and soon.

This kind of long term investment and forward thinking breathe confidence into a fragile global economy.

Things will look up for Wales if it can show the determination, drive and commitment to target resources to move it into the fast lane and attract the FDI and growth that will fulfil the nation’s potential.

AT&T T-Mobile merger

It's starting to look like the AT&T/T-Mobile merger may not go through, which is a great boon for American consumers. But that doesn't mean T-Mobile will just go on like before. If the merger fails, the carrier's parent, Deutsche Telekom, will probably go shopping for other buyers that won't incense the Department of Justice quite so much.

There aren't that many companies in the market for a $39 billion wireless carrier, but they're out there. Here are some of my assessments of the top competitors; feel free to disagree in the comments below.

They Won't Buy It, But You Had To Ask

Sprint. Let's just take this off the table. Sprint doesn't have enough money to buy T-Mobile, and anyway, if Sprint is spending a lot of money on anything, it will be sorting out its complex relationship with Clearwire. Sprint has also been burned before when trying to integrate a technologically dissimilar network (Nextel's), and the government is pretty clear that it doesn't want to see a reduction in national competition from any T-Mobile sale. All signs point to no.

Apple. Ever since before the first iPhone came out, people have been speculating about whether Apple would finally give iPhone owners a true end-to-end Apple experience. AT&T's service has always been the least-liked thing about the iPhone in the U.S., and actually running a telecom network could let Apple show the world how cell phones are supposed to work. This is unlikely to happen, though. Apple doesn't tend to make big acquisitions, and the company has historically stayed away from providing "pipes" on its own.

Google. Unlike Apple, Google is toying with being an ISP in Kansas City, KS. And its purchase of Motorola has shown some desire to emulate Apple's end-to-end model. But I don't see this happening either. Google's successful Android business relies on it not competing with its customers, and becoming a wireless carrier would make conversations with AT&T and Verizon just too uncomfortable.

Who Might Really Buy T-Mobile

Comcast, Time Warner and Cox. Cable companies have toyed with becoming wireless networks for years now, with most of their efforts ending up in semi-failed partnerships with Sprint and Clearwire. But now Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-Verse are moving in on their core turf, which means the cable guys really need to fight back. None of the cable companies may have the money to buy T-Mobile on their own, but they've shown a willingness to band together in the past. A bonus: They already own some wireless spectrum.

America Movil. Why should the New York Times be the only American icon rescued by Carlos Slim? Owned by the richest man in the world, America Movil is the world's fourth-largest mobile operator and already has a foothold in the U.S. through its ownership of Tracfone/Net10/Straight Talk. If T-Mobile is indeed America's value player, it could have some synergies with America Movil's existing offerings. Also, Slim loves telecom.

Wind Telecom. This Russian-owned mega-carrier recently invested in a new Canadian carrier called WIND Mobile that runs on the same spectrum and technology as T-Mobile USA. A purchase of T-Mobile would increase its economy of scale and vault it into becoming a true global force across several continents. Wind also owns major carriers in Russia, Egypt and Italy, among other places. Watch for the Congressional hearings that would result when a "valuable national security network" is bought by a bunch of Russians who also happen to operate a cell-phone network in North Korea.

"Investors." Their names don't matter, and they usually don't mind if they stay out of the news, anyway. The deep-pocketed VC crowd will take a gamble on anything they think can make money. T-Mobile USA's profit has been declining, but it's still a profitable business, and maybe there's someone out there—say, an ex-carrier executive—who thinks he can run it better than DT has done.

Analysts warn Google not to lose focus amid success

With cash in its coffers and acquisitions on its mind, Google shouldn't spread itself too thin

As Google's earnings and optimism continue to rise, analysts are cautioning the Internet giant to beware of taking costly missteps with its bankroll and its focus.

Google late last week reported that its third-quarter profit was the company's best since its founding 11 years ago. And unlike some other major tech companies, the dismal economy didn't prevent revenue growth, as sales increased by 7 per cent from the same period last year.

With those positive numbers came news that Google plans to hire a few thousand people and to spend some of its capital on promising start-up companies. Those plans come less than a year after Google had announced plans to lay off 100 recruiters, and shutter engineering offices in Texas, Norway, and Sweden.

Industry analysts are split on whether Google's strengthening financial position is a bellwether for the rest of the technology industry. But nearly all of them cautioned that Google should maintain its focus, which they note can be a tough task for a company with coffers full of money and opportunities around every corner.

" Google is strong right now, very strong," said Dan Olds, principal analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group. "With revenue up and a huge war chest, they can make just about any move they want. This becomes even more significant in an environment where acquisition prices are at rock-bottom due to the economy. Google is a rich, fat kid in a candy store having a going-out-of-business sale'."

Olds said it can be confusing and risky to be the rich kid in such a store.

"For Google, there aren't any real constraints," he added. "They can go in any direction they want, which is dangerous. They could squander their energy trying to go in too many different directions."

Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, contended that a company with cash on hand in buyer's market can be in a dangerous position. That pertains even to very successful companies like Google, he added.

"Google could generate a substantial amount of complexity over a very short period of time and run the risk of creating a company that is unmanageable," he added. "Yes, there are bargains to be had, but Google needs to show they can make past acquisitions, like YouTube, profitable. There's the feeling of throwing [stuff] against the wall in the hopes that something will stick and the result will be beneficial."

On the other hand, IDC analyst Caroline Dangson says Google needs to prove that it can be successful outside of its Internet search business . One way to do that is by acquiring companies that are creating innovative technologies that Google is not, she added.

Ezra Gottheil, an analyst at Technology Business Research, said Google has shown strong discipline in the past, so it will likely avoid spreading itself too thin.

"They're practiced in acquisition," he added. "They're not about to neglect their main business. They've become more disciplined, which is helpful. In the past year, they've eliminated a number of unproductive products and initiatives, including Notebook -- a Web-based clipping file, which I miss -- and television advertising. When the market slowed down, they started to act more like a business."

Google, said Gottheil, has a lot of money and opportunity to play with, but execs there know that they need to have a plan and keep to it as well.

Microsoft Office 2019 will only run on Windows 10, and will begin previews next quarter

Not surprisingly, Microsoft is making Office 2019 synonymous with Windows 10.

Credit: Microsoft

Microsoft has previously tied support to the latest microprocessors to Windows 10, and it’s taking the same approach to Office: Office 2019 will only run on a supported Windows 10 OS.

Microsoft revealed the changes this week to Office 2019, which was first disclosed in fall 2017. While Microsoft hasn’t said specifically what features will be showcased within the new apps, we do know we’ll be able to try them out soon: Microsoft revealed that preview versions of the new apps will be available during the second quarter. As Microsoft previously confirmed, the final version of Office 2019 will ship during the second half of 2018.

What Microsoft hasn’t said before, however, is what you’ll need to run Office 2019. While the exact hardware specifications haven’t been revealed, we do know that you’ll need Windows 10, specifically any currently supported version that is updated on a semi-annual basis with new feature updates—basically Windows 10 Home and Pro. Microsoft also said that it won’t be shipping Office using the older MSI installer—they’ll all use the Click-to-Run installer which is commonly used by Office 365.

“Software that is more than a decade old, and hasn’t benefited from this innovation, is difficult to secure and inherently less productive,” Microsoft said. “As the pace of change accelerates, it has become imperative to move our software to a more modern cadence.”

Microsoft will provide Office with five years of mainstream support and an additional two years of extended support, ending on Oct. 14, 2025.

Microsoft is also trying to phase out the ProPlus version of Office that isn’t on what’s known as the Semi-Annual Channel—again, the version of Windows that receives major feature upgrades every spring and fall. Though businesses can essentially refuse upgrades—known as the Long Term Stable Channel, or LTSC—LTSC versions of Windows won’t be eligible for the perpetual Office updates after Jan. 14, 2020.

What this means for you: The only thing this latter change means for consumers is simple: Microsoft won’t update Office if your Windows 10 PC isn’t being serviced. If you keep up with Microsoft’s updates, however, you should be fine. As for Office 2019 only running on Windows 10: well, that’s not really a surprise.

Brief Profile

Guatemalans have immigrated from their homeland in Central America in large numbers due to war, violence, and economic pressure, and make up one of the largest groups of Hispanic and Indigneous immigrants in North America. In the United States, half of the Guatemalan population is situated in two parts of the country, the Northeast and Southern California.

Guatemalan are culturally diverse, reflecting the complex mixture of people groups in their homeland. Spanish-speaking Mestizo Guatemalans make up a majority of the population, and have often intermingled with other Hispanic groups. Both Guatemalans and the various people groups of Guatemala may often be found working at or shopping in Guatemalan bakeries which serve delicious breads and traditional dishes.

Some Guatemalan traditions are the celebration of Quinceñeros (15-year old birthday parties), the formation of soccer leagues, and the fiestas celebrating the patron saints of various Catholic villages.

In addition to the Mestizos, many Guatemalan Mayan people groups have immigrated in significant numbers due to economic, social, and political challenges in their homeland. Among them are Chuj; Kanjobal, Eastern; Mam; Popti; and Quiche, Central peoples. In the United States, there are concentrations of Mayan in FL, AZ, GA, SC, TX, CA, and many other states. Many of these people still speak a wide variety of Mayan languages, depending on their area of origin, as well as holding to their pre-Columbian customs and religious practices. Numerous Mayan cultural associations exist in the USA with the goal of promoting and preserving Mayan culture, language, and religion. The primary religion practiced by the Mayan peoples is ethnic religion rooted in the reverence of their gods and spirits in nature. Mayan religion is expressed through traditional rites, customs, and worldview, and conversion to Christianity essentially equates to cultural assimilation.

There are also a few non-Mayan Guatemalan indigenous peoples such as the Garifuna, who are descendants of African slaves who mixed with native Carribean populations. While a majority of Guatemalans are Roman Catholic, an increasing percentage of them are Evangelical Protestants, and Guatemalan-Americans have been a contributor to the rise of Hispanic Protestants during the 2000s.

Prayer Points

  • Pray Guatemalans will find not just economic prosperity, but the riches of new life in Jesus Christ.
  • Pray for workers to be raised up to reap the harvest among Guatemalan immigrants who are more open to Christianity due to the changes in their lives.
  • Pray for the evangelization and discipleship of all of the people groups of Guatemala, wherever they may be found.
