Heavenly Praise Here on Earth

October 17, 2019 at 11:25 AM 8 comments

…For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. (Mt 5:45b ESV)

I love certain types of music, as most people have their own favorite genres. I have always been musically inclined. I began playing cornet, drums and piano in the fifth grade. Drums are an instrument I taught myself, which isn’t that difficult to do by simply listening to records (yep, vinyl years ago) and replicated what was heard on the recording. Cornet and piano are of course, much more difficult because it involves playing exact notes on the treble and/or bass scales. There are some folks who can play the piano by simply hearing a song and replicating it. However, this is not the norm. Most of us have to work very hard to be able to play something that sounds good. It takes years, unless you’re someone like Mozart, who, by all accounts, was creatively gifted as a young boy, who began playing the piano at age 5.

But music has the ability to soothe or agitate, depending upon the genre. In today’s world, rap and hip hop is actually called music, when in point of fact, it’s simply poetry put to a percussive beat. I don’t consider it music at all. In many other cases, software programs like Pro Tools are utilized after the recording to “perfect” a person’s voice or even the instrumentation, forcing the recorded music/vocals to sound right on the mark. There are telltale signs of this being used today by too many pop artists. I’ve heard some recordings of some of them prior to the use of Pro Tools and it’s pretty sad.

I’ve been singing since before the fifth grade. I’ve always enjoyed it. When I was in my late teens/early twenties, it was very easy for me to sing along with songs from Boston, Journey and others, hitting the high notes without any problems. Of course, over the years because I stopped singing, my vocal chords relaxed and started to “droop” just like everyone else’s and I have a very hard time reaching many of those high notes without going into falsetto. Even then, I have an upper limit. It’s frustrating but it would likely take a few solid years of being trained by a professional to even begin to get some of my old vocal chops back.

I often think also of the fact that the only instrument I’ve continued playing is essentially the drums. Over the past few years, I’ve gotten back into piano and am also toying with the trumpet again, but let’s face it, I’m not Mozart and it’s taking a long time to make any real gains. The fact that we just bought another vehicle to replace the old Ford Escape that had nearly 350,000 miles on it means things like piano lessons have to go away for a while.

But what I’ve been thinking about lately is how God has provided “gifts” to people, in spite of their standing before Him. Just like we read in Matthew 5:45 above, God provides gifts to all of us to varying degrees. That’s what Jesus meant when He stated that God sends the rain and shines the sun on the just and unjust.

Why does God do this? Ultimately, it is because it glorifies Him. Except for rap, hip-hop and country, I generally listen to all types of music. My favorite is classic rock, jazz, and even the classics. Lately, I’m getting back into listening to two of my favorite singers: Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. What I find is that listening to these performers sing as they do, my insides actually begin to “sit down.”

I was watching part of an interview with Sarah Brightman and she stated that she’s always had an affinity toward music. For her, her entire body is her instrument. You’ll note the way she moves on stage, the way she holds or tilts her head while singing, the way her mouth opens wide allowing her vocal chords to be unobstructed when reaching for certain notes, the way she might reach her arms out or up – these are all ways in which she is able to hit certain notes. Her lifetime of singing has given her the ability to understand her body, her head, her nasal cavities and the way sound is created within her. She understands how she must position her head in order to reach the octaves that other sopranos only dream about and she does it with ease.

Sarah Brightman is an example of God sending His rain on the just and unjust. I’m not trying to comment on her belief (or not) in God. However, in the interviews I’ve heard/watched, I don’t hear her referring to God in a personal way. Yes, she’s recorded hymns and other beautiful medleys, but I get the impression she understands that she simply was born with this affinity for music. She’s seriously musically inclined and she makes the most of it.

My frustration with myself has directed me to understand that even though in this life, I’ll likely never hit the highs of Brad Delp (Boston) or Steve Perry (Journey) without having to use a falsetto voice, play the piano like John Tesh or the cornet like Louis Armstrong, or drums like Buddy Rich, the reality is that when I get to heaven, will my musical talents not be there with me?

In other words, while I experience the frustration of not being as good as I once was in the singing department, won’t I be infinitely better when I’m there with the Lord, in a body that is glorified and totally free of the sin nature that includes death and the process of dying here and now? My guess is that God gifted me with some type of affinity toward music in this life. I didn’t create that within myself.

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that I am artistic, both musically and in the area of art. Years ago, I took private art lessons and can still remember how to do some of those things with water colors. Put a math book in front of me and I get thoroughly bored and frustrated quickly depending upon the level of math. While I’m sure I can be taught how to do the upper levels of mathematics, it is a subject that does not come easily to me. I really have to work at it and it is work for me. For others? Not so much.

When it comes to music and art, I tend to enjoy it in spite of my frustrations that I’m not where I’d like to be. For instance, had I continued playing the piano from fifth grade to now, literally only God knows how good I’d be. I mourn the loss of not having kept piano and trumpet up, though I can still get back to them.

I am convinced that when I see the Lord in heaven, I will utilize the music abilities He invested within me. I find it difficult to believe that there are no instruments in heaven. I’ve stated before that I used to play drums in church, however, now I’m at the point and have been for a while where I personally believe that type of instrumentation does not belong in church solely because of how it can affect our sin natures. Drums are percussive, like the piano, and if not careful can lead to sinful behavior. The piano can also do this but when the piano is used for playing hymns, it rarely causes problems. In heaven, with the complete absence of the sin nature and death, any instrument utilized there would be for one purpose – glorifying God. Will I be part of that heavenly choir and orchestra? I think it’ll certainly be an option and I’ll likely find that as well as I thought I could sing here, I’ll sing that much better there with the absence of those things that impair my ability here.

Why has God gifted people like Sarah Brightman, Andrea Bocelli and many others? I believe He does this because the gifts these people have an use bring Him glory, even if the person using that gift does not recognize that their gift came directly from the Father of Lights.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1:17 ESV)

When we hear someone like Sarah Brightman, we should immediately recognize that the gift she has fanned into a flame came not from her, but from God Himself. He provided her with that gift to make our journey through this life more bearable. It should force us to praise HIM for her gift, even if she does not do that herself.

We should not be caught up with people for people’s sake. We should enjoy what God has given them because it brings Him glory. The gifts they have literally point to God as Creator. In fact, this very argument can and should be used when talking with them to possibly and hopefully get them to a point of understanding that they did not make themselves. They are the result of God creating them and investing within them the ability to do something that should cause all people to recognize the Creator, not them.

I’m not saying that we should not applaud their talents. That’s respectful. I’m simply saying that certainly Christians of all people should understand that a person who sings as beautifully as someone like Sarah Brightman does so solely because of what God instilled within her. Because of that it is certainly good to recognize her gifts but then we need to ensure that we do not praise her for what God has given her, but we should offer our praise to God for what He has given to her.

Imagine life without music, without beautiful sounds we call song. Throughout the Bible, we commanded to worship, to sing our praise to God. The book of Revelation is complete with references to heavenly choirs. Singing and beautiful instrumentation is as much a part of God’s Creation has human beings are and we should thrill at the opportunity to hear from people who are so gifted. But we must always remember that they are gifted not because of what they do vocally or musically, but because of what God gave them in the first place.

None of us are “self-made.” We are what we are at our root because of what God has gifted us within ourselves. The sooner we recognize that, the sooner we will learn to praise Him.

Updates of Praise Letting Go and Letting God?

  • 1. Eric  |  October 20, 2019 at 12:43 PM

    Hello again Dr DeRuvo,

    As this relates to the subject of your article, I just want to provide you a link to a piano piece by a group (two brothers in their debut album at the time) that is known primarily for its dance electronic sound (comparable to a Depeche Mode, if you have heard of them). There are so many genres and groups/bands that are truly creative and original in their work. Again, talent that is God-given for our musical pleasure. For purpose of illustration, this sample piece, for example, is otherwise lost since this group would not be categorized under classical. No one would be aware of this song’s existence. One of the brothers in this group is classically trained — Chris Reynolds (this piece, for example). Sadly, on a side note, I had found out the other brother (Mark) had committed suicide several years into their career. But this is another topic altogether. Sad, given the topic. God providing the talent, that is. Nevertheless, the link is below:

    The Lord bless.

    — Eric

    • 2. modres  |  October 20, 2019 at 4:28 PM

      Thanks – very nice music! It’s always tragic when talented people end their lives, whether it’s Brad Delp (Boston) or the Mark you mentioned. God gives talent but as we know that by itself doesn’t necessarily open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel.

      • 3. Eric  |  October 20, 2019 at 7:02 PM

        Hello Dr. DeRuvo,

        Yes, Brad Delp of Boston is a good example. This is so true. Whatever the talent — be it intelligence, athleticism, art, music, you name it — it still does not mean that it will open one’s eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Ironically, in many ways, the opposite truly is often the case and tragic indeed, and why we need the Lord.

        Below, I have a couple of more from Red Flag then I will leave it at that as I provide the following two links below. Besides, I don’t think you will have the time or need to do so otherwise. These are the only other two songs that would or could fall in the classical category that you will find relaxing and peaceful. In mood, they may be more on the melancholy side perhaps, but is still great listening otherwise.

        By the way, I will keep your wife (and yourself) in prayer in the course of her recovery/therapy from her surgery and future surgery in the next months. I can relate to this with my parents from the last several years, if not longer. Personally, I don’t like hospitals (who does, right?) but I certainly understand what you are going through and where you are coming from. Praise God for what He has done and what He is doing nevertheless. It’s always a reminder for us in difficult times as hard as it can be sometimes. Especially when one is looking through a glass darkly. Well, I have to go, Dr. DeRuvo. The Lord bless you and your family. I will keep you all in prayer. The two links are below for your listening:

        God bless!

        — Eric

      • 4. modres  |  October 20, 2019 at 8:39 PM

        Thanks very much, Eric. I appreciate your comments and for your prayers.

  • 5. Eric  |  October 18, 2019 at 1:38 AM

    Hello Dr. DeRuvo,

    Great article! I am a music fan myself. I don’t like rap or hip hop either. I tolerate a little country here and there but prefer western and bluegrass over country. You are a Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli fan I see. Yes, “Time To Say Goodbye, ” is a beautiful song! We happen to be Sarah Brightman fans in this household although we have not heard her music or ‘new’ music, for that matter, in quite some time. My parents had the opportunity to see her in concert twice (prior to my Mom’s passing) and in one of those two (Phoenix) I had the opportunity to see her in concert. I think you will like the following link by a Messianic husband and wife team (including daughters) with beautiful music reminiscent of Sarah. In fact, there is one song, in particular, where the introduction briefly sounds like Sarah to a ‘T” including the music intro itself to one of Sarah’s songs. You will probably pick it up right away when you hear it.This is not that song but you will find it as the album is a brief one. I would like you to hear the song I provide in the link below as this song is the one song that won me over to all the rest. Simply beautiful! Truly God-given talent that goes right back to the the Lord Himself! In fact, I discovered them on Zola Levitt several years ago now. They are Sasha and Anya Poberejny and their album is called, “To The Heavens.” The Lord bless you, Dr. DeRuvo, as you will be blessed by this music:

    — Eric

    • 6. modres  |  October 18, 2019 at 7:48 AM

      Thank you, Eric for your comments and the link. I’ll definitely check it out!

      • 7. Eric  |  October 18, 2019 at 1:35 PM

        You’re welcome. I will just mention that the two songs that are very close to each other in their introduction in sound (at least in my opinion and obviously not to a “T,” of course) is “Gates of Heaven” by Sasha and Anya Poberejny and “Free” by Sarah Brightman.
        This particular Brightman song immediately came to mind when I first heard “Gates of Heaven” by the Poberejnys. The Lord has blessed many individuals out there in the music world indeed. The Lord bless you, Dr. DeRuvo.

        — Eric

      • 8. modres  |  October 18, 2019 at 2:51 PM

        Thanks for the additional information. I started listening to the link you sent and it is very uplifting. With as much talent as the Lord has gifted to many within the music/singing field, I can only imagine what the actual heavenly choir will sound like. That will make all music/singing here pale in comparison but for now, it’s still wonderful to listen to and absorb.

St. Mary’s Island low tide

Fujifilm X-T3, 25.7mm, 1/480s, f/8.0, ISO 160

Back on the local coastal theme, here’s an image from St. Mary’s Island during a low tide last week. I need to let it settle, but at the moment I think it’s one of my favourite images this year and I wasn’t even trying to get it.

As we arrived, there was a bit of fret out to sea with some kind of sea platform (my shipping knowledge is weak) on the move, just on the horizon. It looked really interesting, sitting in amongst the mist, so I wanted to make some images of it but hadn’t brought a long lens with me.

Instead, I had taken the 16-55mm F2.8 on my Fuji X-T3: knowing it was low tide, I had more been thinking about photos of the kids in amongst the rock pools and maybe some more low, wide-angle landscape shots amongst the rocks too.

The largely bright conditions weren’t encouraging me towards yet more photos of the lighthouse.

Walking along the promenade from the car park, I missed one decent angle chasing a toddler and then managed to fire off a quick set of hand-held frames at the top of the causeway, to include both the lighthouse and the platform in the mist.

We carried on, had a fun clamber among the rock pools, saw a glimpse of some seals and then headed home for lunch.

Later that evening, I imported the photos to Lightroom and set off a merge-to-panorama task for the hand-held shots while I went through marking selects.

A promising composition

Once the pano stitch completed I quite liked the composition, especially after refining it to a 7:6 crop—having shot a little with my Bronica GS-1 recently, the ratio has been front of mind—and so I began quickly experimenting with post-processing.

The conditions were quite flat so the image in colour was a little ‘meh’ but, again, I liked something about the composition.

The causeway leading diagonally up to the lighthouse is an obvious leading line, however what I had missed (consciously at least) when taking the photo and indeed in post-processing until I converted to black and white, was the matching diagonal edge of the cloud bank on the left that also leads down to the tip of the lighthouse.

Monochrome makes it

I have a preset I developed when processing some of the images in Week notes #5 for high-contrast sunny days, called ‘ACROS crunch’. The hint being in its name, it builds on the lovely Fujifilm ACROS film profile and then crunches down the shadows for some real depth, among a couple of other minor alterations.

Once I hovered over the preset in Lightroom and got the preview applied on this photo, the image completely clicked together for me.

The converging leading lines on the lighthouse from causeway and cloud, the trident of the platform sitting in the mist at sea, and the lighthouse itself standing out bright amongst the deep, dark rocks that surround it just work.

I love the little highlight where the white keeper’s house reflects in the shallow pool next to the causeway, and that there’s just a nice bloom of sand either side of that causeway in the foreground, giving both contrast to frame the road as it leads into the image and some lighter tones to balance the lower half of the frame which otherwise could be too heavy.

Applying a critical eye

I really only have two nitpicks this image for now, neither of which diminish my enjoyment of it though I reserve the right to change my mind and try removing them later.

First, the standing stone on the right edge is a distraction. It is a significant object that exists in the scene and so I have left it in for now, but it does detract and distract a little from the composition.

Secondly, there are a couple of odd rocks catching light amongst the dark swathe in the middle ground which almost have the same effect as stuck pixels once you notice them. These I have less issue with spot-healing away, so I’ll probably do that at some point before printing.

A surprising favourite

I love the potential for an image (or set of images) you have taken yourself to still surprise you after the fact. In a rush and going through the motions a bit, I wouldn’t have expected anything special to come this morning and yet—as I mentioned at the start—I think this is one of my favourite images so far in 2020.

Creating Account Packages
Posted by on 18 January 2014 10:43 AM

When you create an account in WHM, you can select quite a few resource limits on the account, ranging from disk space to allowing SSH access. But what if you plan on using the same settings for multiple accounts? That's where packages come in. A package is a list of resource limits that you can assign to any account, new or old (upgrades/downgrades), without having to change the values manually.

Please note, this requires either a reseller account, VPS or dedicated server. Shared hosting plans are not allowed to create accounts, so they can not create packages.

Adding a package

  • Sign in to WHM by visiting https://yourdomain.com:2087 or http://whm.yourdomain.com
    • You can also access WHM by signing in to cPanel and clicking WebHost Manager in the Advanced section.
  • On the left side of the screen, type "package" into the search box.
  • Click "Add a Package"

  • The next screen is where you define the package name as well as the limits for the package.

  • Enter the name of the package. It's better to use something that will easily identify the limits. For example, a package with 1GB of diskspace could be named 1000.
  • Choose limits for the package in the Resources section by entering a value in the boxes.
    Warning: Unlimited accounts are limited by your hosting plan and selecting Unlimited may allow acocunts to consume all of your available resources.
  • In the Settings section you can set if the package includes a dedicated IP (Due to ARIN regulations, it is not recommended that this be selected. All IP addresses should be requested.), if SSH access is allowed, whether or not FrontPage and CGI are enabled. You can even select the theme that will be used. Note: FrontPage extensions are not recommended, and will actually be removed by cPanel soon.

  • Once you have all of the options set up how you'd like them, click Add.
  • You can now create a new account and select this package.

Removing a package

  • Sign in to WHM using one of the methods listed above.
  • Just as if you were adding a package, type "package" in the search box on the top left.
  • Click on the "Delete a Package" link.

  • Select the package you would like to delete. Once you have it selected, click the "Delete" button.

Editing a package

  • Editing a package is just like creating one. Type "package" in the top left search box.
  • Click on the "Edit a Package" link.

  • Select the package you want to modify then click "Edit."

  • You can now change the package limits in the same way you created them.
  • Once you're done, click "Save Changes."
  • If you changed something you didn't mean to, you can click "Reset" next to save and the package will revert to it's original state.

Creating an account

Now that we have a package defined, let's make use of it by creating an account.

  • Within WHM, type "create" in the top left search box.
  • Click "Create a New Account"

  • Enter the information for the account you're creating. Domain, username [will automatically fill in based on domain, but it can be changed], account password, and a contact email address.
  • Select the package you just created, as well as a theme and locale if you need to change them for this account.
    • Packages that are highlighted in red can not be used, as they would put you over your allowed resources. If you believe it is mistakenly disabling a package, please contact support.

  • On the next section of the page you can select if this account is a reseller (can create their own packages and accounts).
  • For most people, leaving most of the last two sections alone is fine. The one thing you do want to check is "Enable SPF on this account".
    • Enabling SPF (a type of DNS record) will help reduce the chance of spammers spoofing your domain, making it seem like you are sending an email that you didn't.

  • Once you have all of the settings configured as you want it, click "Create."

Congratulations, you have just created an account using packages. If you were to create three accounts using the exact same settings instead of creating a package for the accounts, you would have spent about 10 more minutes creating the accounts.

How Long Until I am Approved to Submit Claims?

What determines a payer’s turn-around-time for EDI submissions?

Each payer determines their own turn-around-time (TAT) based on their internal processes and
requirements.  This time is to be used as a guide as each payer’s processing time may
change based on their current processing volume.  TATs can vary from immediate to several weeks for government payers (Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare).

To ensure that your application is processed as efficiently as possible, please make sure to include all requested documents and fill in all required fields.  For governmental payers, please make sure that the authorized person (as mentioned on your credentialing paperwork) is the one who signs the enrollment forms.  Any other signature will cause your application to be rejected.

While you are waiting for approval, it might be helpful to create a custom billing status and hold your claims there.  When you receive approval, you will be able to bulk submit them to the clearinghouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Cinema 4D hang/freeze after trying to sign in? (the three spinning dots spin forever)

The issue may be due to trusted root certificates that Cinema 4D is reading; some certificates can potentially block Cinema 4D and need more in-depth investigation.

You will need to send us two files; the "BugReport.txt" and the "licenselog.txt" files. These files will better help us understand and resolve the issue you are experiencing.

To Get Started:
Sign into Cinema 4D, and while it hangs, please press SHIFT+SHIFT+DELETE. This will create a crash report. Next, you will open up a support ticket here https://support.maxon.net/ and send us the crash report. The report is titled "BugReport.txt". This text file can be found here:
Users > *USERNAME* > AppData > Roaming > Maxon > Maxon Cinema 4D R21_******** > _bugreports.

Note that you can also simply click in the Explorer window where the file path is displayed and type in the file path instead. Once you do that you can just type in "%AppData%\MAXON\_bugreports" to get to this folder.

*If you are having issues finding the AppData folder, please make sure to unhide "hidden items" (image included on how to do this on Windows).

On Mac, simply open a Finder window, then from the top menu choose "Go To Folder" from the "Go" menu and type in "~/Library/Preferences/MAXON/_bugreports" and you'll be taken to the bugreports folder where you should see the BugReport.txt file to add to your ticket.

Next, you will download our License Debug Tool and send us the license log file that is created from this tool: Download License Debug Tool

How the license log file is created:
After downloading the license debug tool, you will unzip into a folder; then, you will launch a file named "kernel_app_64bit". Next, sign into the debug tool like you have been in Cinema 4D's license manager. Once you've gone as far as you can go, most likely where it hangs, you can then go back into the folder where you unzipped the tool. In this folder, you will now see a file named "licenselog.txt. " Please also add this file to the support ticket you're creating and then submit the ticket for Support to review.

Please Wait!

Please wait... it will take a second!

For some reason periodically I get the following error displaying when trying to view a specific page:

-A forbidden parameter 'language' was passed to this page in the URL or a form.-

Clearing the site's data/cookies solves the issue for a short while and then it returns.

I understand the error is generated via 'Bootstrap' javascript files, but it doesn't explain the cause.

Can anyone shed any information on it, the cause, and above all how to fix it?

So this is a problem with cookies and not some GET parameter that is added to the URL ?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder that stores the cookies got corrupted.

  • rename/remove cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and when present delete cookies.sqlite-shm and cookies.sqlite-wal in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

The key to successful innovation management is balancing your portfolio of projects and managing its performance as you progress. Solverboard helps you achieve this by providing a complete picture of all your innovation initiatives, from ideas through to projects; and giving you access to rich sources of measurement, so you can get to grips with how well your portfolio is doing.

Portfolio Management

Solverboard's complete picture helps you understand how your portfolio is contributing to your organisation's strategic direction, what the likely benefits of your projects are and when they are predicted to occur. This understanding allows you to see where any gaps might lie, and to prioritise and mobilise new efforts: the key to achieving your strategic objectives.

On Solverboard, you can develop this deep understanding of your innovation portfolio by:

  • Assessing the alignment of your portfolio to strategic goals to make sure you have the correct mix of initiatives
  • Categorising your portfolio into innovation ambitions, types and custom categories to leverage the right balance of initiatives
  • Analysing the emphasis of your portfolio, identifying gaps to prioritise or implement new initiatives
  • Understanding the financial and benefits makeup – the return, the speed, the size, and the confidence

Throughout the process, Solverboard provides you with information guiding you on the best initiatives to launch at any one time.

Innovation Measurement

Solverboard’s Innovation Measurement dashboard displays the performance results of your innovation efforts. These analytics will tell you the speed at which your organisation is innovating, the value being created (realised and potential), and the rate at which innovations are moving through the process, helping you to determine the effectiveness of your organisation's innovation activity.

You can see and assess:

  • Idea generation performance – rate of ideation, alignment to goals, time to gestate, best solvers and location, number of collaborations (coming soon), ideas raised as a direct result of a customer need (coming soon).
  • Testing performance – percentage success rate, value of proven ideas
  • Project performance - percentage success rate, potential value of projects in progress, value of realised innovations
  • Time performance – time taken for an idea to move from inception, to project, to realised innovation.

Toronto, Canada, 20 May 2020 – Surecomp®, the leading provider of global trade finance solutions for banks and corporates, today announced that one of its flagship customers – Norway’s largest bank DNB – is ready to be switched on with SWIFT-compliant versions of both its front and back-end solutions, IMEX and allNETT. Despite the deadline of the guarantee messaging standard moving back to 2021, DNB’s proactive approach is exemplified by dozens of other customers who have also been successfully tested and are ready to go live.

The leading Norwegian bank – one of the first banks globally to be ready in switch-off mode – now has the advantage of being able to allocate funds, time and resources to other value generating initiatives safe in the knowledge that it is prepared to go live when needed. “Having completed testing with no reported issues, we are extremely happy with the successful deployment of these SWIFT-compliant upgrades. The Surecomp team has worked diligently to ensure success and we thank everyone in the team for their support and commitment during this process,” said Ankit Patel, IT Application Manager at DNB Technology & Services.

The rigorous SWIFT changes which are now due to take effect in November 2021 – feature changes to standby letters of credit and guarantee messaging. Surecomp is encouraging banks not to procrastinate and is further poised to deliver compliance readiness and a seamless transition for all of its customers across the globe.

“Delivering unrivalled security and compliance is of utmost importance to us so I’m delighted that, thanks to our dedicated team of experts, we can assure DNB of SWIFT compliance well before the transition deadline,” states Yaron Hupert, Surecomp’s SVP of Account Management. “Deployment can be fast and efficient and Surecomp is able to guarantee a successful go live for anyone who is yet to comply. We urge any bank not to delay, to take action now and check this off the list.”

Letter Re: One Year Food Supply at COSTCO

Just a quick note regarding the posting of “One Year Food Supply at COSTCO”. Just in case Walt G. and others are not aware, that particular food storage system has no meat
In Costco’s THRIVE special, it’s all TVP. True, there is milk and egg protein, but if someone needs actual meat, there isn’t any–it is [soy-based] TVP (textured vegetable protein).
Take care, and thanks, Steve N. in Arizona

JWR Replies: There are other food storage packages on the market that do have real meat. And one alternative is to supplement with real canned meats (such as tuna, salmon, ham, and chicken), or retort packaged meats (such as smoked salmon fillets). These are available in case lots at COSTCO and other Big Box stores. I describe how to do an “11th Hour” food shopping trip at any of these stores in the Rawles Gets You Ready Preparedness Course.

Where there is no vision the people perish…

The Bible is very clear on the subject of vision. What you see you will have. One translation of the Bible says “where there is no redemptive revelation, the people run wild.” You must have vision. A vision first of what God, our Father, has done for us in His redemptive work on the cross.

Simply put, Jesus was sent and died for YOU. This is God’s gift to us! We must freely receive his gift. This is your first step into the most exciting journey on this earth! This is where VISION, PURPOSE, AND DESTINY ARE BORN, and then realized.

From this point your life will begin to unfold, with meaning. You now have entered into the “zone” I like to call POB (point of beginning). My friend’s, let’s walk out our destinies, with purpose! On Purpose!!

REVIEW: BackPocket Notebooks

Having moved relatively recently I have had to admit that I am a complete notebook fiend.

There are the pretty, sexy notebooks I am saving for my ‘dream job’, first novel, or when my handwriting gets a bit more grown up. And of course there are my functional notebooks used for work and endless (and I mean endless) to-do-lists.

Thanks to my bit-on-the-side job as a handwriting and stationery blogger I was recently sent three super cool BackPocket Notebooks to review.

I wouldn’t describe myself as cutting edge but I thought the set of guitar notebooks looked really fresh and quirky. This was backed up by my much cooler boyfriend who nabbed one for himself to do a bit of Best Man admin. So they’re totally unisex!

The concept

The concept of the notebooks is that you can carry them around so you have them with you when you have your best ideas.  And there size means you can totally fit them in your back pocket.

The design

The guitar notebooks are just one of the themes offered by the company. I really love the mini ukulele, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. I’m sure the chords inside would appeal to music lovers too.

I am most impressed by the quality of the notebooks. The covers have a lovely texture and seem durable. The paper inside is really thick – with no risk of any ink bleeding through onto the next page.

To find out more: Visit the BackPocket Notebook website or follow them on Twitter.

To read all the other stuff  I have written about notebooks, stationery and handwriting visit the uni-ball website.

The 67-9071 Chronograph Dials – Close Up & Personal

With many thanks to ‘Marty’, who sent me excellent macro shots, I’ve got some pics to share….and a question or two to ask 🙂  First though, which watch are we looking at? It’s the 67-9071 model from the 1970s fly-back chronograph range, i.e. with the 8110A twin register movement. Sometimes referred to as a ‘monaco’ in style, the lower case is black coated alloy, with an angular steel  upper case. It’s not too common a watch, and to find one in good condition is difficult – mine is not so good, so Marty’s images of his two examples are very useful and welcome in exploring the finer detail. The 67-9071 came with two primary dial colours, green and gold. This is Marty’s green example:

And this is the gold version (not Marty’s):

There was also a gold version with white lettering – this is from a 1974 catalog so definition is not great – it’s hard to see colours on the sub-dials for example, but a great reference for the original strap:

So let’s take a closer look. First the green dial – the textured finish on the main dial and sub-dials is nicely shown, with crisp printing:67-9071green3_zpszmsjmvsa

….and a clear dial code:67-9071green2_zpsmg6ijubr

When we look at the gold dialled example, we get to the questions:67-9071gold4_zps0a9if0zk

The printing is not quite as fine, and there is a slight gap in ‘chrono graph’ – that style can be found at least on one of the 8100 models though. Many of the finish and colours look very good, but there is less texture on the dial and sub-dials. 67-9071gold1_zpsh8llrzm6

Dial code looks good, but the font on the sub-dials is narrower than on the green one and gold reference example, and some of the numbers are positioned slightly further away from the sub-dial track: 67-9071gold2_zpskxjuewxy

I have seen the exact same dial on another model, sold as ‘mint and original’:67-9071mintampstrap_zpsl6xa8st8

Well, it’s not mint, and either the applied Citizen logo or the printing looks to be slightly out of line, but is it original?  Marty and I have considered this issue, and at the moment we think it is more likely to be after market, but we’d like to hear from others, especially if you are an owner of one of these. What do you think……?

  1. love the 70’s colorful chronograph style…I wish Seiko and Citizen would reissue a few of these model with modern inner workings. They’d sell a ton of them!

  2. Manikandan says:

    Well Said Mike!!! Even today people will wonder how the mechanism has been made those days, if it comes back then it will ROCK!!!

  3. Rob says:

    Hi Stephen,

    I am trying to find some info about a watch I have.
    It’s a Crystron Citizen Quatrz, with the following numbers stamped on the back.
    4-730194 TA
    Any help or redirection is appreciated. Thanks.

    • sweephand says:

      Hi Rob, thanks f or visiting my blog. I’m afraid I can’t help very much since your watch is a quartz model, probably from 1988. There is not vert much information around about quartz watches after the early 1980s once the technology, which was introduced around 1975, got much more common and affordable with mass production. Is there a dial code on the the face (usually just below the 6 o’clock marker) since may help identify which movement is inside. Stephen

  4. asa says:

    All best

Be Harder, Better, Faster, and Stronger with this Slick, Top-Class Smartwatch

Taking control of your health (and your life) has never been easier with the Life Smartwatch.

We live in a very interesting world where new technologies to make our lives easier are being rolled out literally every day.

However, with all these new technologies that have made things for humankind much easier, do we really feel like we’re on top of everything?

Think about your job.

Your family.

Your career.

Your own health.

In spite of all these advancements, it seems that life has just become more complicated and stressful than it’s ever been – and it’s taking a toll on our collective health (and sanity).

More and more people are becoming conscious of their health and fitness at a time when creature comforts are everywhere, and for good reason.

And this is because of the rise of physical inactivity as a legitimate, global threat to health.

There is unquestionable evidence that points to the fact that physical inactivity is the fourth-leading risk factor for death globally.

Although it may be difficult to stay on top of your health and your body given today’s busier schedules, you are not excused from looking after yourself.

And you no longer have an excuse to put off looking after your health – with the Life Smartwatch, everything you need to do to stay on top of your health as well as staying on track to do the things you have to do can be monitored right on your very wrist.

And it beats all other conventional smartwatches with what it can do at its size and its price range.

It’s finally here.

And you can buy it at a fraction of the price a conventional smartwatch will cost you (only $89 for a limited time).

Stay on top of your health and your schedule – no excuses

The Life Smartwatch is a new, cutting-edge smartwatch specifically designed to help you manage your health as well as stay on top of your schedule – and look stylish while doing so.

And yes, it’s for all ages. It’s that simple to use.

Smart and stylish together

The designers of the Life Smartwatch desired to develop a stylish smartwatch that packs a lot of power and that can withstand regular wear and tear (waterproof and dustproof) that every device will undergo, without scrimping on features such as health data sensors that everyone will be able to afford.

Don’t let its robust, stylish design fool you, however – it is well-built to withstand regular wear and tear.

Monitor your vital signs like a pro, right on your wrist

Think of the Life Smartwatch as your very own personal medical assistant literally at the back of your wrist – if you have any preexisting conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension, or otherwise, the Life Smartwatch monitors all your vital signs in real time.

Now you can quantifiably listen to your body with the stats the Life Smartwatch pulls from its state-of-the-art sensors – and take the guesswork out of the equation.

Get a better night’s sleep, all the time

Unhealthy sleep patterns can be a scourge for those who work odd hours or have poor sleeping habits.

Fortunately, for the Life Smartwatch, monitoring doesn’t stop with your vitals – the Life Smartwatch also looks after your sleep quality and provide you information on how well you are sleeping.

Refresh your sleep patterns and build good sleeping habits with the Life Smartwatch – in no time!

Motivate yourself to move it

Obesity arises from a sedentary lifestyle – one that doesn’t keep you moving a lot, if at all.

This goes for those who think they are “active” enough, yet work all day seated in front of a laptop or a monitor, or spend one day in the gym and spend the rest in front of the TV.

The Life Smartwatch monitors every step you take every day, as well as the calories you consume – all intended to motivate you to achieve whatever your fitness goals, big or small.

Stay organized

That’s not to say that the Life Smartwatch is only limited to tracking your health.

It offers full synchronization with your entertainment, allowing you to control your media anywhere you view it.

Furthermore, the Life Smartwatch is fully equipped to help you stay on top of your schedule so you can stay connected with your friends, family, or colleagues. Conference call at 3 PM? No worries – answer straight from the Life Smartwatch itself at one tap.

Withstand the elements

Don’t let the cutting-edge design fool you, with its aesthetic OLED touchscreen and its fantastic battery life that goes up to 15 days on standby mode.

The Life Smartwatch was designed to handle regular daily use without any worries as to how it will hold up.

It is 100% waterproof and dustproof, robust and ready to deal with whatever life throws at you.

Worth every single penny

There is no other smart watch in the market that can give you all the features and benefits of the Life Smartwatch at its price point. Go on, try to find something remotely similar to it…and see the price rise as well.

This offer won’t last forever

Act now and you will be able to experience the Life Smartwatch at its maximum capacity – here’s how to get yours right now at this amazingly low price!

1) Order the Life Smartwatch from the official website.

2) Download the Life Smartwatch app (Android & iOS) and connect.

3) Wear it and forget it!

It’s as easy as that!

Browns and Brook duns.

Well the Brook duns are out in force and about time to!

I manged to get out on the river for a few hours in the week after a bonkers morning so rang the boss and had the day off and after sorting a load of stuff out i hit the river for a few hours.

I knew one of my mates was on the river that day so i made a quick call and met up with him and his butty. when i met them up around 11.30 the flies started to hatch and the day looked quit promising. Finally we caught sight of the brook duns taking off on the stones as we walked the river. In the  night  we had a fair amount of rain making the river quit cloudy but we knew it would clear over time and i always love fishing the river with a slight colour to it, it can be the best time to look for the larger fish on the move around and with good amounts of brook duns coming down the chances were in are favour :).

As the hatch was well under way the trout started to go nuts and even the grayling got in on the action. Rob and Adrian were having a right ball taking fish left right and centre in a long pool. I held back just watching and spotting fish but my eye was set on something else. I just knew it would’nt be long and i would here that noise that makes the heart jump and the hand shake. GULP!!! 🙂 took me a bit of time to pin point the bugger because there were a few fish rising on the far bank tight. i waited and watched and then i seen the bugger, i watched a brook dun come down and then that spotty nose pocket through the film of the water and that gulp noise and it was the end of the brook dun. I got myself into a good casting position and made the cast. as the fly went down it went all in slow motion and bang fish on,, cracking fight and what a lovely fish to catch.  It was a lovely 4lb 8oz brown 🙂

As the fishing was going nuts i sat there just watching Rob and Adrian catching fish and having  great time, we headed up river just using the dries, was plenty of  bugging water but bit sick of chucking tungsten and with so many fish rising it was just pointless anyway!. Rob and Adrian took many fish  around the 2lb mark.. I didn’t have much time left after that so i had 2 head home to pick my son up from school so the boys followed and all in all it was a wild few hours fishing and was great to see a cracking Brook duns hatch for ones 🙂 Rob below with some of the lovely browns he had!

One of the most enjoyable instruments to play when done correctly.

About Gregory H.

As a younger brother at the age of five, I began studying the piano because my older sister did. After my foundation in music strengthened I fell in love with the trumpet. At first, each note took time to develop and I enjoyed the challenge. The trumpet allowed me to travel all over the Southeast later in life and even to China with a 1940's Radio Show. I enjoyed many top-level bands the kindled my love and passion for good music. I want to share that kindling with my students in a nurturing and guiding situation, just like my teachers gave me.
I used to go to lessons and become so motivated and inspired that I thought I could change the world. I always knew that I would want to give back exactly that. As my performance opportunities grew into venues like Churchill Grounds, The Rialto, and The Variety Playhouse in Atlanta and Radio City Music Hall, 54 Below, The Jazz Standard, Bowery Ballroom, Shapeshifter and Flushing Town Hall in New York, my fire for wanting to develop my teaching did also. I was always thinking back to what my old teachers gave me, inspiration. I then understood that inspiration is the key to success in life.

*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons will be something the student looks forward to every week. We will work through common method books and learn material that the student has an interest in. For example, some students want to learn to play high notes, a popular song, improvise, or write their own songs. I am a laid back guy, but I do expect effort in the lessons and at home. I believe whatever you put into music is what you get out of it, and I will inspire and motivate the student to get as much out of the lessons as they can. Students will create, with my advisement, and update short term and long term goals every few months.

*** Studio Equipment ***
Keyboard or Piano and Music Stand

*** Travel Equipment ***
They should provide their instrument, instrument care products (valve oil), method books and sheet music.

*** Specialties ***
I specialize in jazz and classical music. I use many common methods depending on how the student tends to learn the best, and will even combine different methods if the student requires it.

I've had just 3 lessons with Gregory and I'm making great strides thanks to his intimate knowledge of the horn. His manner of teaching is so relaxing that it helps no feel so stressed to play. I look forward to my next lesson. He drives you in a direction that works best to the student. Hes a great teacher.

I'm 58yrs old and a comeback player. I haven't played in over 40yrs. Yesterday was my 2nd class with him. And I was amazed at how my playing is already showing progress thanks to Gregory. He puts you at ease almost immediately. He is very patient and through his instruction I've gained more confidence in my playing. Gregory gets 5 stars for his demeanor, trumpet and overall music knowledge. He is the go to instructor in my opinion.

I have had several lessons so far with Gregory and as an experienced trumpet player can recommend him extremely highly.
I am getting back into the trumpet following a gap after playing for 10 years when I was at high school. Gregory has really helped getting my technique and sound going again, I have been really pleased with my improvement. He has a great demeanour and has been great fun to work with. He is also an excellent player, and is highly reliable and easy to schedule with.

Robustness (part 9)

The glass sign that said “Emergency Use Only” wasn’t necessary pointing to the emergency lever underneath. Without more clarification, Ezekiel couldn’t be sure it wasn’t referring to the bench beneath it, or to the train itself. Not to mention, whatever constituted an emergency was unclear. If one of these passengers passed out, one should probably not pull the lever. Better to let the train run its course. The only emergency worth stopping the train that Ezekiel could think of, was if the train would not stop.

He looked out again, to make certain. If it flew past a station, he would feel better, but he saw nothing but the flashing lights, evenly spaced along the insides of the tunnel. No one else seemed upset, but nothing assured him that this trip would ever end. He examined the glass again.

To reach the lever, one had to break through the panel, but no tool was provided. Ezekiel flipped his backpack over his shoulder, and grasped for any hard object inside. The Rubik’s cube would shatter, and almost everything else was soft, except the automatic. He had forgotten it was in there, because it shouldn’t exist. He forgot about racism, misogyny, classism, jealousy, Coca-cola. He held the backpack in front of him, his hand inside, clutching the pistol. With the bag against the glass, he tried jostling the gun forward, and it made a hard tink that might have echoed around the cabin, might have commanded attention. He didn’t look to see. As far as he knew, no one could see or hear him, and that was for the best. He shouldn’t exist. He should have been gone a long time now.

Tightening his grip, he held the muzzle against the glass. Oh well.

#cognitive-dissonance, #fiction-in-parts, #guns, #isolated, #robustness, #train

Robustness (part 1)

Amnesia wasn’t the issue. Ezekiel remembered the last five years down to the last detail. He had had jobs and relationships. That was all.

He was in an office now. Or he was undercover for special police. A reporter for a tiny newspaper in rural Arkansas. A bartender in a pansexual strip club. A line worker in a glue factory. He corrected a nozzle if it strayed off target. He was investigating a serial murder. He’d tell everyone. His boyfriend had no idea. His girlfriend knew everything. His gender-neutral playmate had no idea. His long-lost soulmate had no idea.

He had no idea.

A man on the train asked him, “Do you know how to get to The Glass Museum?” The man expected him to know, so he knew, but the man wouldn’t follow his instructions. Ezekiel repeated them slowly several times until they arrived at the stop where the man would need to leave. Ezekiel nearly had to push him out, but he wouldn’t find his way. The man was committed to being lost.

Ezekiel was more open-minded. He could ride the train, or he could ride the bus. He could ride a Greyhound bus to a place he had abandoned. He hadn’t had a job. He hadn’t had a relationship. He’d spent the last few years planning a better future, all alone, The Count of Monte Cristo without the money or moral imperative. He could get the money. He didn’t need justification.

In film, the screen blacks out and the characters return in the future, having done what they needed to do. The last five years were not forgotten. They were blacked out, and he would be whoever he had been. He would find out after the break.

Michel F Côté & Catherine Tardif / Et Marianne et Simon

60 minutes

An interactive retinal and postural game for an audience and ten artists. This commando project offers a series of short choreographic interventions whose origin lies in the visual grammar of the magazine Permanent Food, a pirate and anthropopagic object created by Maurizio Cattelan. In turn, Et Marianne et Simon will pirate – cannibalize – the magazine.

It is the instantaneous and immediate reciprocity of gaze and gesture that are the heart of this proposition. Diverse levels of interpretation are offered to spectators, whose bodies serve as a filtre for these readings.

Creation Michel F Côté & Catherine Tardif
Music Michel F Côté
Improvisors Marie Claire Forté, Peter Trosztmer, Alanna Kraaijeveld, Magali Stoll, Catherine Tardif, Manuel Roque, Guy Trifiro, Alexander MacSween
Lighting designer Lee Anholt

Catherine Tardif is a Montreal choreographer and dancer who has been active in the dance and theatre world since the early 1980’s. As a dancer, she has worked for the Fondation Jean Pierre Perreault, Carbone 14, Le Carré des Lombes, Cas Public, as well as for Fortier Danse Création and Montréal Danse, for which she has also served as a guest choreographer. Her work as a choreographer has been presented in Europe, the United States and Canada. As well, she has several collaborations with theatre productions under her belt. Indeed, she was co-designer and dancer for the Ex Machina company, which is directed by Robert Lepage. In March 2001, the Et Marianne et Simon company sees the light of day and Catherine Tardif becomes its co-artistic director and choreographer. From July to December 2003, she received a residency grant for the Studio du Québec in Paris.

A storyteller and sporadic musician, Michel F Côté was born in Montreal, the year the submarine USS Nautilus made history by travelling under the North Pole’s ice cap. Since 1990, he has recorded and played with some of the most renowned musical creators in the world : Hilton Cravis III, Rev. Trevor Doldinger Jr, Béatrice “Bébé” Berlegot, and Solidman Baktouf, to name a few. His concerts and recordings have received praise locally and abroad. He is associated with the defunct collective Ambiances Magnétiques, on top of being the co-founder of the label &records. He has partnered up with Catherine Tardif as co-artistic directors for the dance company Et Marianne et Simon (6,3 évanouissements (2014), Salle de montre, bientôt, près de chez-vous). He is also dreaming up schemes with Catherine Lavoie-Marcus : together, they collaborate on the magazine esse. He keeps coming up with new tricks to trip up the bankers of this world.

Alongside and through her artistic practice, Marie Claire Forté translates, writes and teaches dance. Her plural path has been supported and inspired by people and institutions, namely Lynda Gaudreau, k.g. Guttman, Ame Henderson, Public Recordings, Toronto Dance Theatre, Martin Bélanger, la calq, Catherine Lalonde, Noémie Solomon, Jody Hegel, Adam Kinner, Tangente, Circuit-Est, Concordia University, Studio 303, Peter Trosztmer, le Centre d’arts actuels Skol, le Mois de la photo de Montréal, the Casino Luxembourg, Artexte, WP Zimmer (Antwerp), the Regroupement québécois de la danse, l’École de danse contemporaine de Montréal and Montréal Danse.

Alanna Kraaijeveld is a dancer, teacher, and improviser. She is interested in playfulness, endurance, timing, and physical rigour. This season she participates in projects with Louise Bédard Danse, Dave St-Pierre, and Et Marianne et Simon. Kraaijeveld’s quixotic movement style, humour and adaptability have supported her in diverse projects. She has worked with artists and organizations including Marie Claire Forté, Susanna Hood, Yves Charuest, Joane Hétu, Danse à la Carte, Mayday/Mélanie Demers, Sylvain Émard Danse, RQD, Dancemakers, Stella Adler Studio of Acting à NYC, Studio 303, Circuit-Est, Concordia University, L’école de danse contemporaine de Montréal, and was a member of (now defunct) Le Groupe Dance Lab under the direction of Peter Boneham for four seasons. This fall, Alanna received a grant from the Dancer Transition Resource Centre to study Fighting Monkey, movement training developed by Linda Kapetanea and Jozef Frucek. She is pursuing teacher certification in the method.

Aside to an exciting and diverse career as a performer for dance companies such as Sylvain Émard Danse, Fortier Danse-Création, and Daniel Léveillé Danse, Manuel Roque is also choreographer. In 2013, he founded the company Manuel Roque. His recent creation, the solo Data, questions the notion of identity and the mater mutation through a formal and hyper physical performance. Manuel is also a choreographer in the field of contemporary circus (Babel, presented at the festival Montréal Complètement Cirque in 2012, 2013 and 2014) and teaches interpretation/creation workshops at the École de Danse Contemporaine of Montréal. He also creates Aurora for 7 students from EDCMTL presented in May 2015. In 2015, he benefits from a 2 months creative residency at La Fabrik Potsdam, thanks to the financial support form CALQ. The same year, he is also nominated “Bearer of Hope” in the annual selection of the prestigious “Tanz” magazine.

Magali Stoll studied dance in Switzerland. She is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dance (London) and received a Bachelors degree in psychology from the University of Geneva in 1994.
