Grassley Says Subpoena of Church Data Possible if Televangelists Do Not Cooperate

Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), in his weekly phone call with Iowa reporters March 26, raised the possibility of subpoenaing several televangelists who have failed to cooperate with him in an investigation of their television ministries.

Since 2007, Grassley, Senate Finance Committee ranking member, has been investigating six televangelists for possible abuse of their tax-exempt status after reports of their lavish lifestyles reached his office. Grassley wrote to the television ministers requesting information on expenses, executive compensation, and amenities given to executives at the various ministries (215 DTR G-1, 11/7/07).

Grassley said on the call with reporters that he has received almost complete answers from two of the six ministries, and he is making progress with the others. The two that have given complete answers have submitted themselves to what he called "an evangelical accounting board" to make sure that they are following IRS rules to remain tax exempt.

"It’s kind of a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for churches that are members of it to pledge to do certain things to make sure that their money is handled in a secure way as a trustee for the donor’s money," he said.

Joyce Meyer Ministries is one of those that joined the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, Grassley learned March 12. The council is an independent body that audits members to maintain accreditation.

For the one or two ministries that are still holding out, Grassley said: "We haven’t decided yet to take the step of a subpoena, but it looks like that’s what we will have to do."

Kenneth Copeland Ministries of Newark, Texas, and the affiliated Eagle Mountain International Church, was one of those that had been holding out. In a July 15 news release, the ministry said it has acted in good faith to respond to inquiries from Grassley but maintained any investigation should be done through an official Internal Revenue Service church tax inquiry, not one initiated by the Senate Finance Committee (142 DTR G-6, 7/24/08).

So far, Grassley said Joyce Meyer of Joyce Meyer Ministries of Fenton, Missouri, and Benedictus Hinn of World Healing Center Church Inc. and Benny Hinn Ministries of Grapevine, Texas, have provided extensive answers to all questions in a series of submissions. Incomplete responses have been submitted by: Randy and Paula White of Without Walls International Church and Paula White Ministries of Tampa, Florida; Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and Eddie Long Ministries of Lithonia, Georgia; and Kenneth and Gloria Copeland of Kenneth Copeland Ministries.

Creflo and Taffi Dollar of World Changers Church International and Creflo Dollar Ministries of College Park, Georgia, declined to provide any of the requested information.

4. Woodsia scopulina D. C. Eaton, Canad. Naturalist & Quart. J. Sci. 2: 91. 1865.

Mountain cliff fern, woodsie des rochers

Woodsia obtusa (Sprengel) Torrey var. lyallii Hooker; W. oregana D. C. Eaton var. lyallii (Hooker) Boivin

Stems compact, erect to ascending, with few to many persistent petiole bases of unequal lengths; scales uniformly brown or bicolored with dark central stripe and pale brown margins, ovate to narrowly lanceolate. Leaves 9--35 × 1--8 cm. Petiole usually reddish brown to dark purple proximally when mature, not articulate above base, relatively brittle and easily shattered. Blade lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, 2-pinnate proximally, moderately glandular, rarely somewhat viscid; most glandular hairs with thick stalks and distinctly bulbous tips; rachis usually with abundant glandular and nonglandular hairs. Pinnae lanceolate-deltate to ovate, longer than wide, abruptly tapered to a rounded or broadly acute apex, occasionally attenuate; largest pinnae with 5--14 pairs of pinnules; abaxial and adaxial surfaces glandular and sparsely villous, with flattened, multicellular hairs concentrated along midribs. Pinnules dentate, often shallowly lobed; margins nonlustrous, thin, slightly glandular and occasionally ciliate with isolated, multicellular hairs, lacking translucent projections. Vein tips slightly (if at all) enlarged, barely visible adaxially. Indusia of filamentous or nonfilamentous segments, these multiseriate proximally, often uniseriate distally, composed of ± isodiametric cells, concealed by or slightly surpassing mature sporangia. Spores averaging 39--57 µm.

Subspecies 3: only in the flora.

Woodsia scopulina shows substantial variation in leaf size, shape, and dissection, and in the abundance of multicellular hairs on the pinnae. Although much of this variation seems to be environmentally induced, recent studies (M. D. Windham 1993) have identified three chromosomal/morphologic variants that are treated here as subspecies. Diploid populations of W . scopulina are divisible into two groups, one of which (subsp. scopulina ) is scattered throughout the mountainous regions of western North America while the other (subsp. appalachiana ) is confined to montane habitats in the southeastern United States. These taxa seem amply distinct (T. M. C. Taylor 1947) and might be considered separate species if not for the existence of populations in the Great Lakes region and western cordillera that tend to bridge the morphologic and geographic gap between them. These intermediate populations (subsp. laurentiana ) appear to be uniformly tetraploid and may have arisen through ancient hybridization between subsp. scopulina and subsp. appalachiana . In regions where subsp. laurentiana is sympatric with subsp. scopulina , the two taxa are rarely found growing together, suggesting that they differ in their ecological tolerances and/or habitat requirements.

1 Scales of stems and petiole bases narrowly lanceolate, mostly bicolored with broad, usually continuous, dark central stripe; longest hairs on pinnae composed of 5-8 cells; indusial segments broad, not at all filamentous.   4a subsp. appalachiana
+ Scales of stem and petiole bases ovate-lanceolate, mostly concolored or weakly bicolored with narrow, often discontinuous, dark central stripe; longest hairs on pinnae composed of 2-5 cells; indusial segments narrow, often filamentous distally.   (2)
2 (1) Spores averaging 42-50 µm; stem and petiole base scales usually concolored or with a few isolated, dark, occluded cells.   4b subsp. scopulina
+ Spores averaging 50-57 µm; at least some stem and petiole base scales with clusters of dark, occluded cells near center forming narrow, usually discontinuous stripe.   4c subsp. laurentiana

So the last core exercise that we'll work on is actually core and glutes and hamstrings as well. It's really good for your posture and also it helps support all the movements that we've been doing before with the dead lifts and also the abductors and adductor's. They are called bridges. We're going to lay down on the floor with your feet shoulder width apart, arms by your sides, palms flat down, elbows flat down. We're going to push into your heels and push your hips up towards the ceiling as high as you can and then come back down. Exhale, pull your belly button in towards your spine as you lift up and then back down and feel your shoulder blades are also rolling into the mat as well. So you're going to extend, feel the glutes pushing your hips up and then lower back down and extend up towards the ceiling or the sky and back down. Exhale as you lift your hips, inhale back down, exhale as you lift your hips and inhale back down. Try to push your shoulders into the mat each time that you're lifting your hips and hands in through the floor so your whole body is really working very hard. Go for it!

This paper is based on the outcomes of a study that explored the knowledge management practices and challenges in an international NGO network. The investigation constituted comparative case studies of two centres (one in Zambia and the other in the Netherlands) belonging to a single international network. An empirically grounded framework of knowledge management practices based on the taxonomy proposed by Holsapple and Joshi was utilised as the reference framework for the study. The framework provided guidelines to characterize factors that influence organizational knowledge management; knowledge manipulation activities (processes) and organizational knowledge resources. The results of the empirical study confirm that a variety of factors affect knowledge management behaviours in an organization. These factors include managerial and internal controls such as management styles and incentives for knowledge creation and sharing; resource influences; and environmental influences relating to an organization's culture and the needs of partner organizations. The study highlights important variation in diversity, gaps and perceptions in managing knowledge between centres in the network that are based in Europe and Africa. This is despite significant communality in knowledge management processes and infrastructures. The results further show that institutionalization of knowledge management practices within a network seem to enable or constrain knowledge management at centre and network level. Recommendations are proposed to improve knowledge management practices at local and international level and include enhanced technical and advisory services at international level; capacity building; creating greater awareness of knowledge management; decentralization of knowledge management processes; implementation of a knowledge management strategy at network level and improving relationships between centres. The authors conclude that networked NGO's and specifically OWI could operate more efficiently and incrementally enhance service provision by leveraging their knowledge resources more effectively. It is in this light that knowledge management practices should be examined in NGOs and particularly networks with their complex structures and attendant reoccurring and unavoidable problems.

The goal of this paper is to explore the emergence of trusting relationships within Communities of Practice. It has been argued that trust can be viewed as an organizing principle (McEvily, Perrone, and Zaheer, 2003). However, the focus of this paper is on the view that trust is an essential pre‑condition for the sharing of knowledge. The goal of the paper is to discuss possible connections between social networking principles, network structure, and trust within Communities of Practice. This paper will define and subsequently analyze the concept of trust and develop arguments relating to the existence and strength of trusting relationships within Communities of Practice. The theoretical arguments propose relationships between the characteristics of trusting relationships and four network characteristics: homophily; closure; brokerage; and the small‑world problem. The general research question that underpins this paper is: To what extent do network principles determine the level of trust among members within a social network (i.e. a Community of Practice)? The analysis focuses on a specific type of social network which has been termed a Community of Practice. Communities of Practice have been argued to be critical elements in the creation, refinement and sharing of knowledge (Dugid, 2005; Wenger, 1998; Wenger, McDermott, and Snyder, 2002).

Abstract: Financial reporting is an important, crucial task for achieving and sustaining a well‑organized, farsighted business. Furthermore, investor demand for relevant information and improved quality and timeliness of financial information is increasin g in the face of deteriorating usefulness of traditionally reported earnings, cash flows, and equity values. Thus, many accounting industry practitioners, analysts, and researchers now see Intellectual Capital (IC) as a driver for a firms long term bus iness competitiveness. However, most IC studies have overlooked the negative side of IC which is referred to as Intellectual Liabilities (IL). Therefore, the objective of the present research is to explore through empirical analysis how Intellectual Ass ets (IA) and IL components, as independent variables, influence Firm Financial Performance (FFP) as a dependent variable. The present study uses content analysis of 2010 and 2011 annual reports for all publicly listed companies in the United Arab Emir ates (UAE). Multivariate regression analysis is employed to answer the research question: What are the characteristics of a new conceptual model that assists in explaining the relationships between IC disclosure and FFP for companies listed on the UAE s tock exchanges? The findings indicate a statistically positive relationship between Human Assets (HA), Relational Assets (RA), Structural Assets (SA), Human Liabilities (HL), Relational Liabilities (RL), and Structural Liabilities (RL) on one hand, and Return on Equity (ROE) on the other hand. However, this research has some limitations which include the restrictions inherent in the content analysis method, in addition to the external validity to other jurisdictions due to the sample being c hosen from the UAE only. In terms of practical implications, the findings of this study provide an insight to firm managers on the impact of increased transparency and disclosure on FFP.

Abstract: While intellectual capital (IC) as an asset is long noted, one area that has begun to attract attention is the communication of IC. The past decade of increasing global competition and economic downturns have enhanced the importance of the com munication of IC, in particular, how IC supports organizational performance (OP). Current literature on the communication of IC is limited to reporting metrics, which does not provide sufficient insights on OP. Yet, the need for the communication of IC is growing globally as investors are demanding for more non‑financial information to reflect organizations sustainability. Hence, the objectives of this study are three‑fold. First is to ascertain the prevalence of the communication of IC, where past s tudies have reported low occurrence. Secondly, the study aims to examine the communication of IC in terms of content; and finally, to investigate the correlation of the communication of IC with OP. The dataset used in this study was drawn from annual repo rts and supplementary corporate disclosure (ARS) published for FYE2011 in English by 299 banks listed on the stock exchanges globally. The communication of IC was reviewed from three angles, human capital, relational capital and structural capital; and OP encompasses business continuity, risk management and organizational productivity. Content analysis was used to evaluate the communication of IC and to highlight nuances and trends. Findings showed that the communication of IC was prevalent in more than half of the banks in the dataset, where the communication of Human Capital content was most widely reported. Smaller banks, in particular, were found to be lacking in the communication of IC. Three peculiarities were also identified, namely inclusion of information on women, importance of training to organizational productivity, and extensiveness of risk management processes in banks. The significance of this study lies in its effort to highlight relevance of the communication of IC from the perspective of IC components and its correlation to OP.

This special edition of the journal is a selection of the best papers from the recent European Conference on Knowledge Management, held at Southampton Solent University in 2008. Several of the papers addressed the shift to what is increasingly being called knowledge ecologies, within the more general field of digital ecologies (see IEEE 2009)

Vanessa Lawrence's keynote speech on Ordnance Survey: underpinning Great Britain with geographic information set the tone for the conference, and set the standard for key aspects of knowledge management and knowledge ecologies. The Ordnance Survey (OS) is an exemplary case study of how to create well mapped data and maximise its use in today's digital ecologies. This case study combines the best aspects of interoperability at the level of data with the best aspects of dynamic, complex and even open systems at the level of information and knowledge creation and exchange. Intelligently mapped data is at the heart of the OS topological information system, creating uniquely identified data objects which are the building blocks for the four layers of the Master Map: topography, address, integrated transport, and imagery.

More importantly from a knowledge management point of view, this integrated Master Map crosses seamlessly from data base management, to information systems, to traditional knowledge management and into knowledge ecologies. A range of commercial and community organisations can build on the Master Map, using elements from it, to create their own maps from their own perspectives, such as housing, health care, flood management, or policing. These different, user‑generated derivative maps create a knowledge ecology, which is a dynamic, flexible, and adaptable set of meta‑mappings (literally and figuratively) or what might be called 'map‑ups', which people can read, write and contribute to, link to, and mash‑up with their own data.

The intelligent data is itself dynamic and changing, and in a ""mobile, transient society and economy where location is a dynamic resource within business"" (Lawrence op. cit.), the data has to be accurate and constantly updated. The figures are impressive: 460M data fields, 1.8M changes per annum, 0.5M updates per annum, of which 99.9% are updated or added within 6 months of completion on the ground, and a potential resolution of 20mm for information on reticulation.

The Open Space initiative, for non‑commercial use only, provides a base and a framework for social mapping or map‑ups. In the first year it involved 900 developers and 156k visitors. The Explore programme allows people to create routes, tag points of interest, and share pictures, news and events.

Lawrence summed up the Ordnance Survey approach as the challenge to ""establish principles to make information sources accessible and connectable"", an elegantly simple framework for knowledge management in the service of knowledge ecologies.

Maracine et al describe knowledge ecosystems (KE) as a new kind of digital ecosystem which is an ""active and dynamic process, that … helps the building, growth, sharing and forgetting of knowledge"". They explore this in healthcare systems for home rehabilitation, which differ from other KEs because of the role and importance of the patient: in practice the entire ""life"" of the ecosystem gravitates around the patient and their personal rehabilitation chain.

Managing Intellectual Capital is now central to the EU strategy, so small and medium sized companies (SME's) must play their part in this. Mertins, Wang and Will's study analyses the different rankings of IC factors across 5 major economic sectors, and leads to some interesting conclusions, for instance that ""the traditional distinction between Industry and Services is improper for researching the strategic impact of IC. Rather companies should be classified by comparing the actual business models"".

Third sector organisations are also applying KM. In this case study, Reilly describes the way resource priorities, programme funding and dispersed Authority inhibit successful KM. There is widespread support for the discovery of knowledge, but it is subject to diverse interpretation, and consensus on how to apply it is difficult to achieve. Reilly proposes a relational knowledge domain to promote a more holistic approach in value driven organisations, to integrate and optimise KM. There seems to be similar issues in the corporate sector too, as Brännström and Giuliani have found, namely that one of the difficulties in IC reporting is that ""goodwill is substantially based not on particular components of IC, but on the synergies between them"". Another problem with IC reporting, and with FRS IFRS3 in particular is that some firms deliberately ""want to continue to use goodwill as a 'blackbox' to avoid disclosing some items to analytic scrutiny by outsiders"".

The link between descriptions and analyses of real business situations and personal experience can be used to build a real consensus. The Socratic Dialogue (Remenyi & Griffiths) involves much more than a simple verbal agreement. Participants try to clarify the meaning of what has just been said by testing it against their own experiences. In this way the limitations of individual experience which stand in the way of a clear understanding can be made conscious, and these limitations can hopefully be transcended.

Garcia‑Perez & Ayres's paper outlines an approach where elicitation and transfer, and possibly also creation, are carried out in one process. This involves identifying key experts and stakeholders, who then work together to develop a representation of the experts' domain knowledge. They conclude that ""communicational problems are minimised because the main interaction will take place between domain experts and their stakeholders. Also, discussion of their own experience with colleagues through a process of modelling their expertise significantly increases experts' motivation to share knowledge"".

Begley et al outline their 'new' theory of the firm, its relationship to networked society, and to other theories of the firm, within KM. They see the firm as a 'connected temporary coalition' perspective (based on Taylor, 1999; 2006), within an interactive model of the firm, containing diverse types of relationships, collections of both closely coupled and loosely coupled systems that configure, dissolve and reconfigure over time, forming a distinct capability in leveraging collective knowledge assets.

A new approach to systems development for KM is presented by Moteleb & Woodman, which is based in action research and Grounded Theory, using a number of business problems experienced by organizations. The KMSD approach is highly participatory, requiring full involvement of members of an organization, in three interacting aspects: envisioning knowledge work behaviour, design of knowledge management system (KMS), and identifying technology options. The KMS design integrates organizational, social and technological aspects of the system.

Landwitch et al have developed a more interactive and dynamic process for Information Retrieval in which the IR systems explicitly support the user's query requirements, but also their cognitive abilities, to realize a dynamic dialogue between the user and the system. This is aimed at satisfying both the information needs of the users, and the innovation‑process. Smith deals with the specifically human elements of what could also be called knowledge ecology, integrating cultural and process issues, and ""issues of organisational adaptation, survival and competence in and increasingly discontinuous environment. Rather than being a process problem, poor knowledge emergence from a new system is more likely to be a communication and learning problem where there is a failure to engage with the individuals who are within the system"".

Vedteramo & de Carolis advocate a community‑based approach to KM in the growing sector of project‑based organizations. Projects are typically temporary, and much learning may be lost when they disband, the storage of lessons learned is not effective, the databases are not widely used and the people are too engaged in their projects to share knowledge or help other people cope with similar problems. Vedteramo suggests the adoption of McDermott (1999)'s ""double knit organisation"", integrating project teams and communities of practice.

Webb uses open ended diaries and strategically resourced reflection on the diaries, and provides material on management and complexity theory for managers to use, to reflect on and make sense of their practice and learn from it. This provides ""multiple first person accounts and opened up new avenues of exploration and … [suggests that is could also be used for] the stimulation, initiation and development of knowledge transfer activities on particular themes.

Koolmees et al have developed and tested a new Knowledge Management Scan which assesses six basic KM abilities in an organisation , based on a survey of 15 statements per ability, and is based on work on value based KM, and different organisational learning types. The abilities are: to produce, anticipate, respond, learn, create and to last. The Scan produces an understanding of the organisation's overall learning ability, in terms of single, double and triple loop learning.

Harorimana's case studies describe how knowledge gatekeepers contribute to the benefits of the firm's internal capabilities, without being paid for their role. However, the informal nature of people's roles as gatekeepers makes their job difficult to recognize, and therefore requires some form or rewards.

Evans and Wensley's research on network structure and trust explores the extent to which network principles determine the level of trust in Communities of Practice. They provide a detailed analysis of the how trust is established and how it functions in CoP: in self‑directed teams, mutual trust takes the place of supervision, and this has a positive impact on knowledge sharing and on innovation.

Rees and Protheroe recommend the joint development of KM and kaizen practices (continuous improvement), embedded into the redevelopment of an existing strategy set, to facilitate the development of knowledge value, and show how this is implemented in the higher education sector.

Aidemark points out the ongoing confusion in the theoretical base of KM, and specifically highlights the complexity and paradoxes that arise between knowledge as information on the one hand, and as competence (or know‑how) on the other hand, and provides models which should improve our awareness of these problems, and help us in developing strategy.

And finally, Devane and Wison, in their paper on Non‑managed Knowledge, provide an interesting critique of traditional approaches to knowledge 'management' and knowledge transfer, and suggests that Coverdale's focus on the development of skills is a better foundation for a company's success. They argue that knowledge should not be seen as something extrinsic, and external that can be managed 'for' individuals, but rather as something intrinsic, in which case the best approach is to allow individuals to manage it themselves.

The papers in this special edition provide new ideas, new critiques, and new research on KM. Most of them in some way also address the very welcome shift from 'management' to 'ecologies', which adds more emphasis on personal roles and at the same time, more emphasis on networking, content and knowledge creation beyond the confines of the traditional Weberian institution. Lawrence's approach is an interesting exemplar of how this can be done, as it integrates well mapped data and basic information structures with flexible, customisable and personalisable knowledge creation and sharing. Perhaps this could be called 'connectable interoperability'?

: Agriculture must evolve into a more environmentally‑friendly approach while remaining economically workable. This type of agriculture is said to be sustainable. It has a systemic logic and therefore requires a strong knowledge base. In this study we propose a knowledge management IT‑based system. In the first part of our article, we discuss the potential actors of the system and their possible implications. The second part deals with the knowledge selection and formalization. The third part describes the main computing features of the knowledge server we propose.

Philosopher John Morreall famously defined humor as amusement that takes pleasure in a cognitive shift. The opening of this show presents a timely connection with the presidential elections, begging the question: How might emerging artists convey religious and racial discrimination, or a crippling economy, or housing costs through humor?

Simón Garcia-Miñaur. Welcome to Introduction to Fractal Sex, 2015, HD video, single channel

Inspired by philosopher Herbert Marcuse's notion of "the great refusal," Get Lost showcases contemporary takes on queer identity politics.

By challenging the representational imagery that queer art is perhaps best known for, these artists present a new understanding of the self through displacement and absence, suggesting that queer activism in the digital age may take more nuanced forms of expression.

a hand's turn = a hands turn

a hands turn = a hand's turn

a stroke of work – informal

1982 - Rodney Hall - Just Relations - Rich was she? A wallowing pig in jewels and wicked money she never did a hand's turn to earn for herself?

all hands

the entire crew of a ship

A US variant of this phrase is all hands and the cook meaning absolutely everyone available, since the cook would not normally be expected to do the work of other team members except in cases of dire emergency. All hands on deck or all hands to the pumps, in addition to their literal shipboard senses, are also used to indicate that all members of a team are required to be involved.

be a dab hand at

be expert at

Dab in this sense is recorded since the late 17th century. But its origin is unknown.

1998 Bookseller Stephanie Cabot is apparently a dab hand at milking cows, according to one of those mystifying diary items in Skateboarders' Weekly.

bind his hand and foot = tie his hand and foot

severely restrict someone's freedom to act or make decisions.

do something with one hand behind your back = do something with one hand tied behind your back

do something easily

get your hand in = keep your hand in

become (or remain) practised in something.

get your hands dirty

do manual, menial or other hard work

become directly involved in dishonest or dishonorable activity – informal

1998 - Spectator - Unlike its sister churches in the West, the Catholic Church in the

Philippines is not afraid to get its hands dirty.

give a hand = lend a hand

assist in an action or enterprise

give someone the glad hand

offer someone a warm and hearty, but often insincere, greeting or welcome – informal

hand in glove

in close collusion or association

This phrase appeared earlier in the late 17th century as hand and glove. The current form gained ground from the late 18th century.

from hand to mouth

satisfying only your immediate needs because of lack of money for future plans and investments

1960 - Lynne Reid Banks - The L-Shaped Room - I'm twenty-eight years old and I'm still living from

hand to mouth like a bloody tramp.

hands down

(especially of winning) easily and decisively

Originally a horse-racing expression, win hands down meant that a jockey was so certain of victory in the closing stages of a race that he could lower his hands, thereby relaxing his hold on the reins and ceasing to urge on his horse.

hands off!

used to warn someone against touching or interfering with something

have your hand in the till

stealing from your employer

make money hand over fist = lose money hand over fist = spend money hand over fist

make (or lose or spend) money very rapidly – informal

This phrase first appeared in the mid 18th century as hand over hand. Found in nautical contexts, it referred to the movement of a person's hands when rapidly climbing a rope or hauling it in. By the mid 19th century, hand over hand was being used to mean advancing continuously and rapidly, especially of one ship pursuing another, Hand over fist is first recorded in the early 19th century, also in a nautical context, but it was soon used more generally to indicate speed, especially in the handling of money.

1991 - Simon Winchester - Pacific – Japan continued making money hand over fist, the American trade deficit became steadily larger and larger.

on his hands = off his hands

having (or not having) to be dealt with or looked after by the person specified

raise your hands in surrender or to signify assent or participation

the right hand does not know what the left hand does

there is a state of confusion or a failure of communication within a group or organization

set your hand to = put your hand to

start work on

A fuller version of this phrase is set your hand to the plough which alludes to Luke 9 : 62 : No man, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

sit on your hands

take no action

1998 -Times - The England selectors, historically, find reasons to sit on their hands.

become influential in determining something

1988 - Shetland Times - The amenity trust is also taking a hand in restoring two old gravestones in the Ollaberry kirkyard.

turn your hand to something

undertake an activity different from your usual occupation

1994 - Barbara - Anderson All the Nice Girls Win had always told him he was an able man, a fixer, one who could turn his hand to anything.

attend to all of someone's needs or requests, especially when this is regarded as unreasonable.

1955 L. P. Hartley A Perfect Woman He has everything he wants and servants who wait on him hand and foot.

wash your hands of

disclaim responsibility for

This phrase originally alluded to the biblical description of Pontius Pilate, who, when he was forced to condemn Jesus to death, sent for a bowl of water and ritually washed his hands before the crowd as a sign that he was innocent of this just person (Matthew 27 : 24).

Louzhu Hello.

Can be said that the world's leading supplier of table tennis equipment, essentially a cluster in Japan, so Japan's national team is sponsored by sports equipment company is also relatively more. Such as clothing, sports shoes, alone Mizuno, nita library, butterflies and so on, players use rackets and rubber are also different, is that most are using a butterfly, like a falcon Mizutani, Kenta Matsudaira, Kishikawa Moriya and other popular national team with all butterflies; there are some, like that used by Ishikawa pure nita library, Han Yang using a Jasaka so.

Therefore, Japan national team sponsor is multi-faceted. Hope you are satisfied.

PS clothes, then out of the recent event wearing a look at the Japanese team are Mizuno and butterflies, shoes are Mizuno.

Key of Life

An attempted suicide and a discreet assassination.

A struggling actor and an underachiever of life in general, Sakurai can’t even succeed in hanging himself. He finds himself completely out of luck and money in the chaos of his room. Meanwhile, Kondo, a dark and smooth man of exquisite tastes, completes his mission again – an assassination of a successful businessman – in a perfect discretion. It is literally in a matter of seconds he finishes his job, without any trace. These two strangers meet, in all places, in a public bath. Ignited by one of the most poetic cinematic justice, another story of the Prince and the Pauper begins. Kondo is knocked out by a freak accident, losing his consciousness. Sakurai sees the opportunity: he switches their locker keys, remembering Kondo’s fat wallet. The difference with the classic tale is that these characters don’t know who they are supposed to be becoming. Sakurai has the faintest idea about what Kondo does for his living, except he has a lot of money. Kondo temporarily loses his memory, and genuinely believes he is Sakurai, but doesn’t know anything about him.

The film resides on the premise that everyone acts out one’s role, no matter what one’s actual desires are. The meticulous methods of Kondo actually makes him Sakurai. Making notes on every detail of Sakurai’s life, from his possessions to even his favorite cigarette brand, he becomes Sakurai, as if a Method actor immerse himself into the character he is playing. Meanwhile, Sakurai is just what he is: an amateur actor, playing the character as it fits him, not the other way around. Kanae Mizushima, an editor of a magazine who acquaints with Kondo in the hospital, is also an actor of her life. She plans everything ahead in detail, even her wedding before she finds a partner, and acts it out accordingly. The original title of the movie is “The Key Thief’s Method”, method as in Method acting.

The film employs numerous plot devices, mise-en-scene, and clever dialog to drive the narrative forward. And it really works. The director Uchida uses rather restrained, quiet camera to capture pivotal scenes. One of my favorite is the scene at the supermarket parking lot. When Sakurai tries to flee from Yakuza, driving his (or Kondo’s) car frantically to shake off a group of menacing men, the camera remains at a long shot, a bird-eye’s view of the parking lot. It captures the multiple events in parallel inside the frame. Its orange-ish late afternoon atmosphere brings the scene such a natural look. It’s cinematic.

Most of the Japanese screens today are filled with animes and adaptation of popular mangas and novels. These tend to rely on the characters and situations without really adapted to cinematic language. Uchida wrote the original story and screenplay for Key of Life. And it shows. Crafts of cinema are well integrated into the story. It’s an old school, but it’s fun.

KEY OF LIFE (鍵泥棒のメソッド, 2012)

Written and Directed by Kenji Uchida
Cinematography by Akira Sako
Original Music by Yusuke Tanaka
Starring: Teruyuki Kagawa, Masato Sakai, Ryoko Hirosue

By the way, Teruyuki kagawa is the grandson of the actress Sanae Takasugi (starred in Mizoguchi’s WOMEN OF NIGHT, Ozu’s MUNAKATA SISTERS and Shimazu’s MY LITTLE NEIGHBOR, YAE).

Six Nations: Honest Jones great for game, says Gatland

Warren Gatland has named an unchanged XV to face England. Stu Forster/Getty Images

Wales boss Warren Gatland has praised England counterpart Eddie Jones for his "refreshing and honest" outlook ahead of Saturday's RBS 6 Nations showdown at Twickenham.

Jones is currently serving a self-imposed media ban, and he has not fronted an England press conference since immediately after the victory over Ireland 10 days ago, although that exile is due to end on Thursday this week.

"Eddie has brought a bit of an edge," said Gatland. "What he has done is just expressed himself and said what he thinks.

"He has been honest and opinionated, and I think that's been great for the game. It sounds like the [England] players are really enjoying the environment and thriving on that.

"I get on with Eddie well. He's been great. He has been refreshing and he has been honest.

"When he does say something out of turn, it is important you guys [the media] don't jump on him, otherwise he will clam up and stay quiet. Give him the licence to speak his mind and say what he wants to say, without actually analysing everything or making headlines out of things."

Gatland has named an unchanged team to face fellow unbeaten challengers England in what is effectively a Six Nations title decider, retaining the starting line-up that accounted for France 11 days ago, although there are three switches on the bench.

Scrum-half Rhys Webb, who was called into Wales' Six Nations squad on Monday following a six-month injury absence from Test rugby, is among the replacements, along with fit-again lock Luke Charteris and prop Paul James.

Ospreys loosehead James takes over from 122 times-capped Gethin Jenkins, who is continuing his recovery from a calf muscle strain. Charteris missed the France game due to a knee injury and was replaced by Wasps forward Bradley Davies, who continues in the second row alongside Alun-Wyn Jones.

Webb, meanwhile, has not played for Wales since their final World Cup warm-up fixture against Italy last September. The 27-year-old suffered a serious foot injury during that match and was ruled out of World Cup contention. He returned to action last month, and has made three comeback appearances in Ospreys colours.

Cardiff Blues scrum-half Lloyd Williams drops out of the matchday 23, together with Jenkins and Scarlets lock Jake Ball.

Reflecting on his selection, Gatland added: "It was pretty straightforward -- there was not much discussion at all about selection. As a team, we are in a pretty good place.

"Both teams have got very strong defences. We pride ourselves on being able to play without the ball, and England are pretty good in that regard.

"We won't disappoint [England fly-half] George Ford in terms of where we go on Saturday. We won't be throwing the ball all over the place, we will be pretty direct. We need to earn the right to go wide, and we've got players to get us across the advantage line, and hopefully when we do get across the advantage line we can play some pretty positive rugby."

Wales have beaten England three times at Twickenham since Gatland took charge eight years ago, with their most recent triumph being a dramatic 28-25 World Cup pool stage victory last September. Another Wales win would then leave them needing to beat Six Nations strugglers Italy at home on Saturday week to secure a fourth Six Nations title of Gatland's reign.

England, though, will close in on Six Nations silverware -- and leave themselves one win away from achieving a first Grand Slam since 2003 -- if they defeat their unbeaten title rivals this weekend.

"We've not spoken about the World Cup and what happened there," Gatland said. "It was a great performance to get out of the group, but we feel in much better shape than at the World Cup.

"The guys are training well, and we are treating Saturday like a final. They [England] are a good side. They have a lot of strength in depth, and young players continuing to improve. It will be one heck of a game on Saturday, and whoever wins, probably wins the Six Nations."

The Third Reich was invaded in 1945 from West and East by the Anglo-American and Soviet troops respectively. In order to be victorious over it, they had to effectively destroy the National-Socialist regime. However, the Entente was not in the same situation at the end of 1918:the Allied troops, but especially the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), caused Imperial Germany major losses on French soil, however, they did not advance towards Berlin. Thus, from here stemmed the paradox of First World War, a paradox unsolved by the Versailles Treaty:Germany’s national territory was never conquered during the First World War and thus, Berlin had never felt defeated.

The German request to Washington for an armistice

On November 11th, 1918, the Allies accepted the German request for an armistice. It was an actual surrender of Berlin, although it was not perceived as such at the time. Because of the American president Woodrow Wilson’s public discourse on a peace without annexations, the German leadership thought it could manage to make the war end on this note. Basically, Germany wanted a status-quo-ante 1914, which was practically impossible in 1918.

The Mittelmächte(Central Powers) were almost victorious in 1917, owing it also to the Russian exit from the war which was brought about by the radical regime change caused by the October Revolution at St Petersburg. However, Berlin was not able to fully enjoy this moment, because it made mistakes that determined the US decision to enter the war. Besides the fact that Germany attacked the neutral American cargo ships, the Kaiserreich asked Mexico to become its ally through the so-called Zimmerman telegram. This way, Washington entered the war as an Associated Power, however, initially, all it could do was to finance the Entente, in order to ensure its further combat capacity.

Germany’s fate was sealed. Even if it could have resisted the exhausted Anglo-French troops, Berlin could not have done the same when the US tipped the war balance clearly in favour of the Entente. This meant that a German victory was rendered impossible since the end of 1917. The military and political leadership in Berlin decided to request an armistice from Washington when it was clear that the German troops were defeated in the summer and autumn of 1918. London and Paris did not receive the request, because Germany intended to bring about a separation between the European and American leaders of the Entente.

The US accepts the armistice

The president of the US did not aim clearly to produce a regime change in Berlin, however, Wilson hinted that both the German autocracy and militarism were standing in the way of achieving peace. In order to impress Wilson, Berlin executed a superficial regime change in October 1918 when the military leadership of general Erich Ludendorff and marshal Paul von Hindenburg resigned in favour of civil politicians. This way, Germany achieved a quasi-democratic regime compatible with the American one.

Because of the US domestic politics, the German request for armistice was not left unanswered. The Congress had at the time a Republican majority which made the support for the Democrat president Woodrow Wilson dwindle. Moreover, the US had to pay more for the war than it originally planned and it did so in francs and pounds, not in its own currency.  This way, Wilson acknowledged that Washington could not continue its participation in the war and approved of the armistice.

Revolution in Germany

Because of this, an Allied attack on Berlin that would do away with the autocratic regime was out of question. Yet, the domestic situation in Germany was going towards this very end. In October 1918, Berlin found itself alone facing the Entente, because all its former allies surrendered and formally left the war. This situation caused chaos inside the Kaiserreich which experienced revolution and civil war. Also, it led to the abdication and fleeing of the last Kaiser of Imperial Germany to the Netherlands in November 1918.

The US and the UK do not assume a bigger role in the state system

Moreover, at the end of the war, the Anglo-Americans immediately demobilized their troops and failed to take into consideration leaving soldiers on the Continent. The follow-up to this policy would be seen in 1938 and 1939 when the UK realized that it had only one division to send in Europe to help France fight National Socialist Germany. In 1918, the US and UK were not ready to assume a role which meant a constant intervention in the system so as to avoid the appearance of a hegemon.

Thus, the Entente decided to impose on Germany such conditions in the peace treaty that would render Berlin unfit to rearm and wage another war.  This way, as early as November 11th, 1918, the Kaiserreich had to respect tough military and naval clauses, which made it impossible for Germany to counterattack. Nevertheless, the UK did not plan on a total destruction of its former enemy, because London acknowledged that a healthy German economy leads to the well-being of England and implicitly, of Europe. Because of this, the UK did not wish to deliver a crushing defeat on Germany and thus, its armies did not advance in German territory.

Foch plans on getting France out of the war before it loses its Great Power status

More than the US and the UK, France planned on maintaining as long as possible its ascendancy over Germany, which was gained after the Allies won the war. Because of this, marshal Foch acknowledged that the French influence would be completely lost in Europe, if the length of the war was to be extended. Foch demanded that France should occupy the lost territories of 1870 – Alsace and Lorraine – and also, take into possession the bridgeheads on the Rhine. The French prime-minister, Georges Clemenceau, demanded even more than Foch – he wanted to establish a Rhenish buffer-state between France and Germany, however, all he managed to get through the Versailles Treaty was the 15-year demilitarization and military occupation of the area.

Because of the aforementioned reasons, the Allied troops did not advance towards Berlin in the autumn of 1918. The causes that led to this situation are of military and financial nature as well as prestige matters. Also, it was related to how the political leadership of the Entente states imagined its function in the state system. In the interwar period, even if the US was financially powerful, it was not yet ready to assume an active political role and it resumed its position of neutrality.

The Europe Trust is now more than ten years old and is proud of its distinctive approach of using awaqf (endowments) to generate resources to support many deserving organisations and community projects.

We have been working to develop our current assets and are now seeking more support from the business community and other investors to increase our investments, thereby increasing our support for community projects.

Our plans for the future are ambitious and we see the growth of awaqf as the key to our success.

However, recognising that the lack of public awareness of awqaf is a major obstacle, which we need to overcome, and so we have joined forces with the Kuwait Awaqf Foundation and the Islamic Research and Training Institute of the Islamic Development Bank and organised a seminar, back in 2006. This was the first seminar of its kind and was intended to initiate consultation on the concept of waqf and to explore how awaqf can be used for community development projects.

We are working with partners across Europe to encourage donors to set up endowment assets which will ensure the sustainability of community education, health care and social welfare projects for the benefit of future generations, as is reflected in our motto – Society, Welfare and Serenity. We need to reach out to many more potential donors and supporters and we ask you to help us spread the word. Please introduce your friends and colleagues to our work and encourage them to support us.

Jazakum Allah Khair

Yours truly,

Dr Fouad Alaoui

I seem to remember a Daily Telegraph article a few weeks ago?

It essentially said that a "Plus deal" including services will be difficult. Because allegedly modern FTAs have a clause in it, saying that if one side later on offers a better deal to another country, the older FTA should be open for an "upgrade" too.

The author basically concluded that the EU would like to avoid that scenario.

Why give London a privileged position of financial services within the EU if you later have to give the same benefits to all other countries with which you have or want to conclude a trade deal? There is a way to provide the UK with a "bespoke" deal better than any other: it's called the Single Market and Customs Union.

Colored Pencils

Can eating too much turkey make you want to draw with colored pencils?  I think it can because it happened to me last week.  I really don't know much at all about colored pencils but I own a set.  I don't know why, probably from college.  I was inexplicably overcome by the urge to use them and this is the result.  After completing this drawing the feeling vanished as quickly as it came.

Being a guest on live TV is thrilling, fun, and a great way to get you and your brand out there. If you’ve never been in a television studio or been interviewed live, it can be scary, too!

Over the past year, I’ve done two live segments on local (Las Vegas) morning shows. I was contacted by a PR company in New York City (more on that later), and I thought, sure why not!? I was broadcasting major in college, I’ve been in TV studios, and worked as a reporter for TV station in Iowa eons ago. So I thought it would be fun to get back on TV even though I’m not the weight I was all those years ago—I had to get over it and trust that people would still relate to me.

And, I was a little rusty. I took a few notes along the way of what I did right, what went wrong and what I did to prepare, in hopes it might help you when you land a live TV interview. I love being live on TV, and always jump at the chance—and I want you to be as excited and prepared for your live TV appearance!

1. You never know who is going to find you.

It’s true what they say: the internet is eternal. Things we post today may not see results for years. That was certainly the case for me when a PR company asked me to do a segment called “Out of the Basket Easter Ideas.” They’d seen my blog—which I hadn’t been posting on regularly for a couple of years—and thought I’d be a good fit. Luckily my lifestyle blog was in pretty good shape. Although it’s not the focus of my business, it’s still an opportunity to get on air, and get in a PR company’s Rolodex.

How is your online presence looking? Make sure your blog and website are visitor-ready at all times. Try my friend Dawn Mena’s tips to keep your website looking its best.

In addition, make sure you have a media kit to give to the producer. Do the work for them and you’ll be a dream guest that they’ll want to have back again.

2. Be your own producer.

News and morning show producers have to be the most organized people on the planet. I have no idea how they do what they do day in and day out. They’re busy; they’re thinking of 1,000 things a minute.

They’ll probably tell you what they want you to know, like what time to show up, but it may not be everything you need to know. So, ask questions. Ask the producer, or call and speak with the station’s receptionist. They usually have the down-low on all the logistics about where to park, how to get in the building, etc.

Deanne Marie Thanksgiving Las Vegas NOW

On air with JC Fernandez on Las Vegas NOW.

Here are some of the things you’ll want to know:

  • The name of the show
  • How much time you have for your interview
  • What time you need to be at the station
  • What host or anchor will interview you
  • When and where the show will air (including replays)
  • Social media handles (follow & like them)
  • The producer’s cell phone number and the front desk phone number
  • If you should bring props; how the set will be set up (e.g., will you be sitting or standing? On chairs or stools?)

Be sure to watch several episodes of the show before your appearance, so you have a feel for the set, the flow of the show, and how the hosts interact with the guests. Some ask a lot of questions and get chatty; others let you do most of the talking.

I’ve put together a checklist for you to track all of this information and more for your live TV appearances. Simply click the graphic below and enter your details and I’ll send it off to you!

3. Bring more than you think you need.

If, like me, you tend to overpack a bit for out-of-town trips, then this should be easy for you. Take along your makeup bag for touch-ups, and bring a small mirror since the restroom could be a hike from the studio. Bring your hair products and a comb or brush. Bring water. Put your lip gloss in your pocket for a quick swipe before you go on air.

The one thing I would definitely take with me again is an assistant! My friend Carol came with me both times, and I’m so thankful she did. An assistant (a friend, your spouse, your brother) can help carry your bags if you have props, helps calm you down, and can take photos and video of you while you’re being interviewed. They can check your clothes and hair and makeup and make sure you’re looking good before you go live.

Seriously, even if you don’t have an assistant in real life, take one with you when you go on TV!Deanne Marie Krystal Allen Wake Up with The CW

Also bring your printed collateral like business cards and brochures, and if you have a book, bring that, too! Even though my segments weren’t about my gift giving book per se, one of the hosts (that’s Krystal Allen from Wake Up with The CW shown to the right) was so kind to mention it and show it on air. Score! Don’t be shy about talking to the hosts about what you do before your segment is live. Don’t be pushy, just engage in conversation.

4. The cameras don’t look like cameras.

This is something that still surprises me. When we’re on our webcams or iPhones doing video chats, we’re talking to a camera lens. So I always expect to see a lens. But, no, in a TV studio the camera lens is covered by a teleprompter with the script rolling by as the host delivers her lines.

Therefore, it’s hard to know where to look, or what camera is on you at any given moment. (Hint: There’s a red light at the top of the camera. When the light is on, that’s the camera that’s live.) If you’re being interviewed by a host, no problem! Just ignore the camera and look at the host. That will come across the best 99.9 percent of the time.

5. No matter how much you practice, you’ll probably make a mistake. It’s okay.

For both of my live TV segments, I practiced. A lot. I knew the products inside and out, I knew my talking points, I timed everything to the second to fit in the segment.

For my Easter segment, everything went great! But for my Thanksgiving segment, well … let’s just say it didn’t. A product box almost broke when the host picked it up. I spaced on the name of a product! Field Roast Grain Meat Company. Field Roast Grain Meat Company. I said it 1,000 times in my practice sessions, but I just could not remember it! I had to read it off the package. Not professional, but better than getting it completely wrong. It slowed me down and kind of threw me off kilter. Oh well. As one of my friends said, he probably wouldn’t remember his own name if he had to be on TV.

And, wouldn’t you know, seconds after my segment ended, one of the hosts flubbed a line on the teleprompter.

It’s live. It happens. Forgive yourself and be ever thankful that you got the opportunity to build up your media muscle and get your brand out there!

As soon as you get home and wash off your makeup, be sure to send a thank you note to the producer and the host who interviewed you. Share the link to your appearance on all your social media channels, update the media page on your website, and make some notes to yourself for the next time you’re asked to be on TV!

Asp.Net 4.0 - Custom Output Caching Provider (Design Patterns in Action)

Desing Patterns in Action

Today we will develop a custom output caching provider in asp.net 4.0. In .net framework 4.0 microsoft has emphasized on provider model for pluggable development. The provider model in .net 4.0 has been used and promoted extensively.

Developers can write their custom provider for logging, membership, caching, viewstate without affecting the existing application and plug that up with just configuration changes.

I will try to show this by writing custom file based output caching for asp.net 4.0 application. There may be scenario where memory based caching is expensive, so we can make use of provider model and write our own custom output caching.

Let's start-

1. Create a C# Library Project

2. Add reference to System.Web dll

C# Abstract Factory Pattern - Design Patterns in Action

Abstract Factory Design Pattern

We have already seen about factory method design pattern. abstract factory is about grouping similar family of factory pattern and providing abstract layering for them.

The main motto of abstract factory design pattern is "Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes." as specified in GoF. Below are the main members of this design pattern:

AbstractFactory - An interface with Get operations for each of the abstract products

Factory1, Factory2 - Implementations of all the AbstractFactory creation operations

AbstractProduct - An interface for a kind of product with its own operations

ProductA1, ProductA2, ProductB1, ProductB2 - Classes that implement the AbstractProduct interface and define product objects to be created by the corresponding factories

Client  - A class that accesses only the AbstractFactory and AbstractProduct interfaces

C# Repository Pattern - Design Patterns in Action

Repository Pattern

Repository pattern is one of the pattern which is most frequently used in Data access layer. This provides an abstraction to underlying database. This is also useful when database is not ready and we want to test the application by building an stub.

So repository pattern provides testability, abstration and  dependency injection.

Repository is defined as "an abstraction that provides us with persistence ignorance and a separation of concerns where the responsibility of persisting domain objects is encapsulated by the Repository that  leaving the domain objects to deal entirely with the domain model and domain logic."

I am going to show a sample of repository pattern implementation with c# and entity framework. Our entity framework DataContext object will be inside the constructor of the repository class. This will implement IDisposable interface to make sure that object is disposed properly in case of any failure or when object is no more required.

We will delcare some of the most frequenlty used operations in interface such as GetOne, GetMany, Filter, Save, Delete.

So IRepository and RepositoryImplementation Class will be the building blocks of repository pattern.More...
