Glory To His Name (3 Ways) - Piano Cover - Music Videos
377 views
An original arrangement of Glory To His Name (sometimes known as Down at the Cross), originally attributed to Elisha Albright Hoffman and John Hart Stockton.
This (or something close to it) was today's offertory.
Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX.
And introducing Thumpy, PianoPounding's official mascot! You can't see it in the video but he had to dig his little claws in pretty hard to hang on-- especially during the last chorus!
Down at the cross where my Savior died
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried
There to my heart was the blood applied
Glory to His name
Glory to His name; glory to His name
There to my heart was the blood applied
Glory to His name
I am so wondrously saved from sin
Jesus so sweetly abides within
There at the cross where He took me in
Glory to His name
O precious fountain that saves from sin
I am so glad that I entered in
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean
Glory to His name
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior's feet
Plunge in today and be made complete
Glory to His name

The NH way: Is that possible anymore?
Also last week the state's Medicaid Expansion Commission recommended that the Legislature kinda-sorta expand Medicaid. It recommended subsidizing people up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, but not putting all of them on Medicaid. The state would need a waiver to do this. If we don't expand in precisely the way the Obama administration wants, we won't get millions in federal matching funds.

The Gallery Review
Awards have been heaped on this attractive riverside restaurant, both for its architecture (a combination of Chinese and Lanna styles) and its cuisine, which embraces dishes from Asia, Europe, and the United States. Guests enter through a gallery (a small exhibition of local antiques and handicrafts), cross a secluded courtyard with an open-air barbecue, and proceed into a teak-floored dining area with eggplant-color linens. A northern Thai string ensemble plays most evenings, and a subtly integrated bar-café offers some of Chiang Mai's best jazz and blues.

The Limited Liability Partnerships (Jersey) Law: An introduction
These notes are intended to provide an introduction to the main features of the Limited Liability Partnerships (Jersey) Law and certain other legislation relevant to the operation of Limited Liability Partnerships.
Limited Liability Partnerships are a distinctive type of legal entity created by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Jersey) Law 1997 (the Law). They are different from partnerships, limited partnerships and limited liability companies. A Limited Liability Partnership has the following essential characteristics:
- It is a partnership with a separate legal personality. Whilst having the characteristics of a partnership whose existence depends upon the continued existence of at least two of the partners comprising it, a Limited Liability Partnership can own its own property and sue and be sued in its own name. It offers limited liability to all partners but does not affect liability in respect of personal debts or for losses caused by a partner.
- The maximum amount that a partner in a Limited Liability Partnership could lose if judgment were to be made against the Limited Liability Partnership would be his interest in the property of the Limited Liability Partnership together with certain amounts paid to him from its property if it was, at the time, insolvent. He remains, however, fully responsible in respect of his own debts and losses caused by him…

Theo Rollins is starting eighth grade six inches taller, and his new height is making everyone expect more from him. Coach Mandrake wants to transform him from invisible science geek into star basketball player, even though Theo has little experience with the game.
When Theo tries to hone his skills by playing pick-up ball in the park, kids are eager to include him at first; then they quickly see that he has no control of his gangly body. A girl named Rain even dubs him "Sasquatch." To make matters worse, all his time spent on training is starting to hurt his science club's chances of winning the "Aca-lympics," the school's trivia competition. Just when Theo thinks he can't handle any more pressure, he's accused of stealing.
Can he find the real thief before he is kicked off the basketball and science club teams, or will his attempt at sleuthing be yet another air ball?

This weeks show addresses the floods and blocks of our emotional world. How connected are you to other people's drama? Do you connect so much that it feels like your drama? How often do you refuse to feel someone else's pain and why?
Exploring our motivation on how we connect or disconnect sheds light on how we can release resentment and insistance on being right, and open our world to gratitude and appreciation.
This one hour weekly show sits at the intersection of metaphysics, quantum physics, ancient medicine and psychology. Dr. Kelly Brady, a Doctor in Chinese Medicine as well as a Psychotherapist and Pamela Latour a renowned Spiritual Trainer, offer a mix of insight and humor into our body, mind and soul.
Insights and Umbrellas is live on blogtalk every Thursday morning at 9:00am, eastern/standard time.

Hotel Vermont Offers Fun 'Bedtime Menu,' Lets You Shop Your Room Decor
An amenities-filled "Bedtime Menu" and "we sell everything!" approach to room decor is cute, clever, and only slightly bad for the bank account.
Finally, a hotel that insomniacs and kleptomaniacs can agree on! (This'll show that marriage counselor!) Welcome to Hotel Vermont, a rustic-chic destination (opened just last year) that brings urbane gloss to the cobblestone streets of quaint Burlington, Vermont. (Things it also brings: acclaimed dining at the six-time James Beard award nominated restaurant Hen of the Wood.)
The 125 contemporary guest rooms are perfect for city slicker couples who want the fresh air and relaxation of a northern New England retreat, minus all the lace and doilies and crumpets associated with your average Green Mountain State B&B. They're also perfect for those who can't help themselves from filling their suitcase with "souvenirs" of a getaway. But instead of resorting to hording sample-sized shampoo bottles (you desperate keepsake cat burglar), guests can take home not just the soap – but also the handmade soap dishes.
Oh, and the Johnson Woolen Mills flannel blankets, the alarm clock, the Tivoli radio, the felt flowers and vase, the water glasses and carafe… need we continue? "Almost everything is for sale!" explains an in-room price list, which points out all the accommodation accouterments that will simply be charged to your tab if they go "missing."
They should, because basically everything is also hand-made by local New England artisans. This is good Vermont-y swag.

The Trump Soho is Ready for Summer, Even If The Weather Outside is Not
After a long winter in NYC, it may seem like the warm weather will never come. But ladies visiting The Trump Soho can at least pretend it's summer vacation, by purchasing the hotel's new spa bag, filled with poolside accessories.
Called the ViX Valise, the canvas tote designed by the swimsuit brand, ViX Paula Hermanny, includes a caftan, flip-flops, a towel and a Bia bikini which is adorned 24k gold-plated hardware. The valise costs a pretty penny at $468 but it does save you from the hassle of hunting for a bathing suit during your stay. Most importantly, it has a cover-up too so you don't have to re-purpose your sweaty gym shirt and shorts when visiting the Trump's outdoor pool on the 7th floor.
Room rates at The Trump start around around $560 a night on the weekends. But can go much higher when the warm weather (hopefully) arrives.

An Early Christmas Gift? The Dorchester Hotel's $200 Teddy Bear Chef
How much do you love the Dorchester Hotel in London? So much so that you would spend 125 GBP (or $200 US) on a special handmade mohair teddy bear dressed up as a Dorchester hotel chef? Or perhaps you fancy the doorman version instead? (It's also slightly cheaper at $145 US.)
Price tag aside, we're suckers for these little teddy bears. Maybe it's because their little uniforms are exact replicas of the staff uniforms. Or maybe it's because the hotel has only made 500 of these, making them limited-edition bears. Beside it totally beats another boring hotel candle.
Now if only they could make a teddy bear that exactly resembled HotelChatter's Hottest Chef in the World....

Hotel Bed Week: Where to Buy Your Own Hotel Bed
All this week, we'll be talking about Hotel Beds--where to buy 'em, how to make 'em, how to trust 'em (just wait and see what we mean) and what to do when the bed isn't enough to send you to Sleepyland. Got a hotel bed question or comment? Send it to us!
Let's face it. The most important part of a hotel stay is the hotel bed. You can have the finest of fine views, the highest in high technology and the fanciest of fancy toiletries but if that bed is hard as a rock, you're going to wake up hating the hotel.
Fortunately, hotels in recent years have put a lot of money into their bed experience not just by adding comfy posture-friendly mattresses but also loading up the pillows and using luxe linens. And several hotels brands are so passionate about their bed offerings, they think you will even want to buy it after you check-out.
We already listed which hotel brands sold their beds back in 2011 but it was time for an update. Consider this your semi-regular mattress flipping.

What To Buy At The Raffles Hotel Gift Shop
We've said it before, but boy do we love a well-stocked hotel gift shop. After a recent visit to the Paramount Hotel, where we found nifty travel gear and Big Apple-themed tchotchkes, this week it was the Raffles Hotel in Singapore that had us acting like a kid in a candy store, inspecting every single item displayed on the shelves.
And believe us, there was a lot.
Located next to the fountain courtyard, the gift shop is like an ode to the entire Raffles Hotel, every ounce of its fabled existence neatly preserved in an endless array of crockery, loose leaf tea tins, tea towels, vintage travel posters, stuffed animals, leather-bound notepad holsters, and pretty much any other form of souvenir you can think of.
A true hotel geek would be hard-pressed to enter here and not walk out with some kind of goodie.
Here's a quick look at a few of our favorite Raffles-branded things:

Lessons In Cute: Swooning Over the Fullerton Hotel's Bellhop Bear
You know those people who can't walk by a pet store without coo-ing over the adorable puppies in the window? Or, say, walk around a mall without popping their head in every darn shoe store? Well, that's pretty much us when it comes to cute teddy bears, and we totally fell for this little guy on a recent spin through the lobby at Singapore's Fullerton Hotel.
Dubbed the "Fullerton Bellhop Bear," he is one of four collectible stuffed animals being offered by the iconic hotel.
The complete Fullerton Bear collection includes: The Fullerton Postmaster Bear (referencing the hotel's history as a former post office), The Fullerton Bellhop Bear (pictured), The Fullerton Bay Ship Captain and The Fulleron Panda Plush Bear.
And just in case you're rolling your eyes right now at the frivolity of this post, keep in mind that the sale from each bear goes towards supporting two charities chosen by the hotel: Mainly I Love Kids (MILK), and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF- Singapore). The fundraising initiative started last year with just the Postmaster Bear, but due to its popularity, the hotel debuted the other 3 bears this past April.

Get Travel Goodies Galore At Paramount Hotel's New Souvenir Shop
On our recent wander through the newly-unveiled lobby at Paramount Hotel, we made a detour through the lobby's souvenir shop, Paramount News, and boy, were we glad we did.
Reminding us of a cross between the tchotchke-packed Opening Ceremony at Ace Hotel and the Delano's tiny magazine stall in Miami, Paramount News is a small retail space whose shelves are artfully filled with an array of nerd-tastic Manhattan-themed travel goodies. A few of the trinkets we spotted included…
Flight 001 travel gear, a decent selection of novelty wallets (we liked the one designed like a nametag, with "Hola, me llama" printed on the front), whiskey flasks, laptop cases, journals, tin boxes of colored pencils, miniature Statues of Liberty, Bigelow toiletries, Assouline travel books, and local magazines and newspapers.
We almost sprung for a giant foam hand shaped like the Statue of Liberty, but then remembered we hardly ever go to sports events. Plus, we live here, so a NYC souvenir isn't really something we need...

A 'Jogging Corner' and Freebie Fitness Extras at a Funky Frankfurt Hotel Find
While more and more hotels realize that perhaps their guests prefer a fitness experience other than a musty gym, we see more and more yoga mats in closets and jogging maps on desks. Recently, during a stay at the Goldman 25Hours in Frankfurt, Germany, we checked in at reception next to this little "Jogging Corner" cart.
The Jogging Corner is all the basics you'd need to have an enjoyable run, while traveling light. That means they provide the water bottles, the small sweat towels, wristlet keychains or branded sweatbands, all complimentary to guests.
We went for the sweatbands, since we quickly figured out that these serve more than the function of storing the tiny specially made jogging map of the area; we wore the sweatband and stored our bus and tram coins in it. Perfect! No fumbling in a wallet while trying to board public transportation.

Call Us "Honey Boo Boo" Thanks to Fairmont Hotel's Bees
You may recall that we developed a taste for honey from Fairmont Hotel bees over a year ago.
Readers, it has become an obsession.
Earlier this year, we returned home from the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Alberta, Canada, with a few wee jars of their bee's honey. When we ran out, we were bereft. What could brighten up a cup of morning tea or bowl of yoghurt like this honest-to-goodness, tastes like real food sweet stuff?
Supermarket honey just didn't cut it, of course. To our surprise, the Fairmont folks heard our Twitter moaning and offered to send us samples from a few more of their hard-working hotel honeybees in residence.

Hilton Hotels Unveil Limited-Edition Slippers from Designer Vivienne Tam
It was just a year ago that Hilton Hotels rolled out the red carpet for Chinese travelers with thier Hilton Huanying program. Now today, the brand is celebrating, um, celebrating its Chinese guests with a special limited-edition pair of of "Water Dragon" slippers designed by fashion designer Vivienne Tam.
The slippers are available only for one month exclusively for guests of the Hilton Huanying program which is in place at 70 participating hotels in 23 countries.
But if you aren't heading to any of these places any time soon, don't fret. The slippers will be for sale for $28 on www.hiltontohome.com while supplies last.
Here's a description of the slipper:
The stylish slippers feature a mirrored design of two intricate inward-facing blue dragons swimming in a turquoise "sea" - a common symbol of optimism, harmony and fulfillment in Chinese culture. Featuring rich shades of blue inspired by the Hilton Hotels & Resorts signature color, the slippers celebrate the Year of the Dragon and are available in a men's and a women's size and made of soft terry cloth, plush cushioning at the toe and a textured sole.
We've been known to swipe a pair hotel slippers (or two) during our stay but these are so cute, we'd definitely cough up $28 for them. Keep reading for how to get your own pair!

Here's a Way to Wear Your Love for The Dorchester Around Your Neck
When we fall in love with a hotel, we do what we can to bring the hotel experience home with us. Sometimes, we settle for the bath toiletries or the note pad and pencils. Other times, we shell out money for limited edition items like scented candles, plush bathrobes, tote bags and even flip-flops and sneakers. And while we've yet to personally shell out thousands of dollars on jewelry collections inspired by a hotel, it's nice we could do that...if we had the funds.
But for now, we're eying a less expensive way to wear our love for a hotel around our neck--a printed silk scarf from British fashion designer Teatum Jones inspired by The Dorchester Hotel.
Measuring 54 inches by 54 inches, the scarf is made of 100 percent pure silk double georgette and features the metalwork of the hotel's balconies juxtaposed with old black and white photographs of the hotel's staff from the early days. Catherine Teatum, creative director of Teatum Jones, explains more about the design:

Cheaper to drive: unfair plan to increase fares on city's over-priced buses
by Nicola Young
Wellington's bus fares are so over-priced that it's cheaper to drive. So it's hardly surprising that, despite a six percent population increase over the past five years, our use of public transport has increased by only one percent. The past 10 years have been a lost decade for Wellington's buses.
Public transport should be efficient and affordable; instead, the Greater Wellington Regional Council plans to increase cash fares by 25 – 33 percent across Zones 1-3 on October 1. These increases are unfair, will lead to a reduction in the use of buses in Wellington, and a possible increase in congestion.
The proposed price hikes will hit Wellingtonians the most, as we have the highest percentage of regular public transport users in New Zealand, and bus trips in Wellington city account for over half the region's total public transport use. The most popular ticket is the Zone One fare and, as 40 percent of Zone One fares are paid in cash, this increase is significant – especially for those who can't afford the upfront costs of a Snapper card.
These fare increases contravene the Regional Council's position on social impact, as affordability directly affects bus usage – in particular: low income households, students, households without cars, school children, and people with disabilities. These are often people who cannot afford the upfront cost of investing in a smartcard.
Since 2010, the Zone One cash fare (or its equivalent, as the CBD Zone fare no longer exists) has increased from $1, to $2, and now $2.50 is proposed. The new Zone One child's cash fare will cost more than a comparable adult fare in Auckland.
Zone One tickets are already more expensive than using a car, which is contrary to the GWRC's goal to make public transport an affordable alternative. It is estimated the proposed Zone One cash fare increase will generate $0.25million; this could be raised by a slight reduction in the 42% discount currently given to Rail Monthly fare users (estimated to cost $5million a year).
Bus users already pay more than their fair share, as our fares are the highest in New Zealand, and the least subsidised. Wellington bus passengers pay around 67 percent of their fares, compared to Aucklanders who pay between 45 percent and 55 percent.
Rail users (only one third of the region's commuters) have much cheaper fares, have much bigger subsidies (funded by Wellington ratepayers) and, unlike bus users, can buy monthly tickets. The GWRC anticipates spending more than $494million on public transport infrastructure over the next six years, but only 2.6% of this will be spent on our buses (and ferries). Zones 1 – 3 fares (mainly bus users) are higher than car travel, yet Zones 4 – 13 (mainly rail users) have cash fares that are cheaper than car travel.
Low rail monthly fares give a disproportionate benefit to train passengers. The GWRC should reduce the discount on monthly rail tickets, as rail users have benefited from a massive upgrade in trains, track, upgraded platforms and extended (free) 'park and ride' facilities; now it is time to sort out our bus service.
Note: I made a personal submission to the Greater Wellington Regional Council's draft Annual plan, so I'm delighted the Wellington City Council has finally decided to make a submission to the Regional Council's draft Public Transport Plan, asking – amongst other things – for 'fairer fares'.

I'm very impressed with Councillor Young's comprehensive information. A pity the Go Bus company allows side windows of their bus fleet to be covered in advertising. Impossible for passengers to see outside to know when to alight. Locals and tourists using them should ask for their money back. Or refuse to pay. Visual pollution at its worst! Regional councillors obviously don't care about this form of transport.

Four words for Cr Young to consider: Infratil… Infrastructure… Investors… Returns…
Jacob Toner, 17. May 2014, 8:19
Well researched and written. It is appalling to see systematic relative overcharging for buses with the inevitable flow on impact to patronage. As a modern city we should be looking to encourage public transport use and the decisions of the GWRC fly in the face of that goal.
Traveller, 17. May 2014, 13:40
The city council announcement about its submission to the Regional Council shows a "cap in hand" attitude, as if the Regional Council is the absolute boss and the city council is a supplicant, begging for small mercies. How come the two organisations aren't equal? How come the city council doesn't have a controlling influence on bus fares in its city? Why has it been so embarrassingly positioned as having to send a written submission (like any ratepayer), instead of being able to negotiate strongly from a position of equality inside the regional council's tent?
Nicola Young, 17. May 2014, 13:44
Bus fares are set by the GWRC; Infratil has to work within GWRC constraints – fares, routes, etc
Sridhar Ekambaram, 17. May 2014, 21:29
Good work Nicola! We need councillors like you to impress on GWRC not to increase bus fares anymore. If anything they need to come down.
CC, 18. May 2014, 7:47
The following indicative fares are provided so that Cr. Young might try to explain how GWRC 'constrains' Infratil's profit margins when fare structures are negotiated.
- Bus fare from Auckland Airport to Ferry terminal – 24km (on an unsubsidised service) costs 66c/km.
- Wellington Airport to Railway Station – 8km (subsidised?) costs $1.125/km.
Assessing the costs of public transport requires more than formulating or repeating spin lines, then advocating that Wellington rate and tax payers should front up with larger subsidies to encourage public transport usage.
Daran Ponter, 18. May 2014, 11:03
Good article Cr Young.
As a GWRC councillor who voted against fares increases I agree that Wellingtonians need more affordable public transport.
But you seem to avoid two things in your article – (1) the role of the Government (NZTA) in setting fare recovery rules; (2) and the cost of trolley buses, which in recent years has ballooned.
Michael Gibson, 18. May 2014, 15:30
Cr Young gets universal approval – why has nobody else been standing up for Wellington?
Lower fares should surely get better support from the Greens especially since the only Greater Wellington Councillors who actually live full-time in Wellington are Green.
The trouble is that the GWRC majority are not paying fares in Wellington City & are only concerned with getting Wellingtonians to pay as much as possible to their rates in Kapiti or the Wairarapa or wherever (through paying exorbitant fares in Wellington).
This is misguided – but it was ever thus & has been getting worse very recently. That is until Nicola Young came onto the scene!
Daran Ponter, 19. May 2014, 10:39
Whoa Michael – In the last term three councillors consistently voted against fare increases – me (Wgtn), Cr Paul Bruce (Wgtn) and Cr Nigel Wilson.
I agree that some councillors are protecting their patch and are quite unperturbed about Wellington City carrying the burden of costs for public transport across the region.
I do think the Council could be smarter in the way it contracts. But to a large extent the Council's hands are tied by the NZTA who set the rules for fare box recovery (i.e. how much the council must recover from passengers).
Kerry Wood, 19. May 2014, 16:25
What does Nicola mean by "its cheaper to drive"?
Does she include paid parking, 'free' parking or street parking. Somebody is paying for all of these.
Does she include other hidden subsidies, such as the 50% of local road costs paid from rates, or externalities such as noise and greenhouse gas emissions (much higher for cars than buses)?
Does she include depreciation, servicing and registration?
Or is she simply using parking and petrol?
Ross Clark, 20. May 2014, 1:18
While fare levels do have an effect on demand levels, it is very difficult to use lower fares to attract car *drivers* out of their cars (car passengers are a slightly different story). The very simple reason? Cars are simply far more convenient.
A public transport system which was as convenient as the car would be very expensive; and restricting the use of cars in the CBD (eg. by controlling the availability of parking and especially commuter parking), is politically, a no-go. I am sure that this is understood, but it needs to be admitted to.
Strathmore Park, 21. May 2014, 14:11
Let's be honest here. The patronage on buses has been falling, the service getting worse, the cost increasing and what we hear from the collective GWRC is just mindless waffle and propoganda.
I don't agree with Ross Clark when he says that a public transport system which was as convenient as the car would be very expensive. We used to have a world class public transport system and the GWRC has basically done nothing to it in the last eight years.
It is cheaper to drive, I've run the figures. And more, it saves (from Strathmore at least) about twenty hours a week of sitting in a bus, waiting for a bus, and the like. That's time I can use in my life quite frankly.
This idealistic left bollocks coupled with a GWRC who have no interest in improving the service, running their own agenda, and pouring tens of millions into trains is going to kill it off.
Shutting down car parks and make it difficult to drive in town will just compound the issues. Basically, the CBD will be difficult to access and business will suffer as a result.
Phil C, 22. May 2014, 2:00
Has anyone undertaken a comprehensive study of the provision of public transport under the old WCC and the newer outsourced model, addressing financial aspects incl. subsidy levels, the extent of the routes, employee conditions and wages, quality of buses (including safety) etc. It would seem to me an appropriate juncture to compare the two ideologies of providing public transport i.e. in-house or outsourced.
Ross Clark, 22. May 2014, 21:57
@Strathmore – to get my point across more clearly: even if it were much more expensive to drive, many would still prefer to do so. The convenience factors you yourself cite explain why ("And more, it saves (from Strathmore at least) about twenty hours a week of sitting in a bus, waiting for a bus, and the like. That's time I can use in my life quite frankly").
Alana, 24. May 2014, 21:23
Excellent arguments, Cr Young. A recent study in LA found that users of public transport saved on average $10,000 per year!

4.0 von 5 Sternen A Brief Summary and Review,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Social Physics: How Good Ideas Spread-The Lessons from a New Science (Kindle Edition)
The main argument: The sciences that focus on human behavior, meaning the social sciences, have traditionally relied mainly on surveys and lab experiments in their investigations. While valuable to a degree, these sources of evidence do have their shortcomings. Most significantly, surveys offer but indirect evidence of human behavior (and can also be compromised by deception and self-deception); while lab experiments tend to be somewhat artificial, and fail to capture the complexities of real life.
Recently, however, new digital technology has opened up a whole new way to study human behavior. This proves to be the case since mobile devices and sensors of all kinds are now able to record a dizzying array of human activity—everything from where we go, to what we buy, to whom we interact with and for how long, to our body language, and even our moods etc. When placed in the hands of social scientists these new sources of information can prove very valuable (and are far preferable than either surveys or lab experiments); for they allow scientists to study us in our natural environments—out in the real world—and they also allow scientists to study what we actually do, rather than what we say (which are sometimes quite different).
The method of investigating human behavior in our natural environments using digital technology has come to be called reality mining, and it is revolutionizing the social sciences.
One of the pioneers and leaders in the field of reality mining is Alex Pentland, a researcher out of MIT. Pentland's main field of interest is using reality mining to explore the properties and patterns of interactions between people—what he calls social physics. Specifically, Pentland uses reality mining to investigate the social physics in a wide range of groups and situations, from social and peer groups; to social media platforms; to institutional settings such as schools and businesses; to even whole cities. And in his new book Social Physics: How Good Ideas Spread—The Lessons from a New Science Pentland takes time out to catch us up on his findings.
One of Pentlands's main findings thus far has to do with the importance of social interaction in influencing our behavior. Indeed, Pentland has found that much of our behavior is dominated by the influence of our close relations and the peer groups we are embedded in—everything from our diet and body weight to our political opinions and all things in between.
The influence of our social world is so great, in fact, that Pentland argues it is much more appropriate to think of ourselves as group-oriented than self-directed. This is important because Western society as a whole tends to take the opposite view. The result is that many of our policies and institutions are ill-fitted to our true nature—which leads to less than desirable outcomes. Thankfully, Pentland does offer some advice with regards to how we can re-design our policies and institutions in a way that better accommodates our nature.
A second of Pentland's main findings has to do with how ideas and behavior spread through human interactions and groups—and also, and even more important, what kinds of interactions produce the best results in terms of generating the most creative and productive ideas.
Specifically, Pentland has found that the most creative and productive groups tend to have something very important in common: the group members have numerous interactions with highly diverse people outside of the group, and the group members are also highly connected to one another.
In terms of explaining why this pattern works best Pentland argues that the interactions outside of the group are important in becoming familiar with many different types of ideas, while the interactions within the group function to winnow out what are the best ideas, and also help build common norms of behavior and trust that allow the group to work well and cooperatively together.
I was happy to get the opportunity to learn about a very new and promising science from one of its leading practitioners. Many of the 'living lab' experiments outlined in the book are very interesting and I certainly learned a lot. My only complaints are that the book does have a fair bit of repetition and jumps around some, so I question the writing and organization a bit. All in all, though, a very good and interesting read about a new field that we are sure to hear more from moving forward.

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Social Physics: How Good Ideas Spread—The Lessons from a New Science (Gebundene Ausgabe)
I happened to read the interview that Alex Pentland gave to DER SPIEGEL some months ago. After that I was very curious to learn more about social physics. Thus, I have ordered a copy of the book and started reading. This book is written for the public and I found it to be a real turnpager. The author describes his fascinating ideas in a very comprehensible way.
Nearly all of us are working in teams together with very different people and many of us have asked ourselves why some projects succeed and some become a complete desaster. In my opinion, often the so-called "chemistry" between the co-workers is a crucial aspect for success (unless the project is useless from the very first moment). So far, this might just have been a suspicion and no one was able to really measure the quantity and quality of cooperation (of course you can look at the result, but by then it might be too late) .
Alex Pentland has developed the software tools to measure and analyse the chemistry or better say the physics between people that work together or even live together in larger groups, villages or cities. Alex Pentland's working horse is the smartphone. He uses it as an intelligent sensor to monitor whom people meet, how they talk, how active they are and so on. In his book there are instructive examples that show how his analyses help to improve work-flow and outcome. Thus, social science becomes to a large extent computer science on big data.
I know that many people (especially in Germany) see much potential for misuse of the sensitive data that have to be collected for such a social physics survey. Certainly, this is a serious concern, but Alex Pentland proposes a software solution for this problem (it would lead too far to explain his idea here, you better read it in the book).
As a physicist I might be called naive in topics related to social science. But, in my opinion, this social physics ansatz is a great chance for the social sciences to achieve better results in terms of accuracy and reliability.
As a consequence of my enthusiasm I ordered more copies of the book and gave it to some of my colleagues. I am pretty optimistic that this will lead to a different view on our collaborating. Let's see what will happen ...

News Panel: State of the State, Controversy in Oakland, and more
Watch Complete Episode: January 25, 2013 »
Gov. Jerry Brown delivered more good news in an upbeat State of the State address, thanking lawmakers, voters and others for making tough decisions to balance the budget. The governor described his long term vision for revamping education funding and revising the state's environmental law. He also promoted the construction of high-speed rail and a controversial plan to build tunnels to transport water from north to south.
The Oakland City Council approved the hiring of police consultant William Bratton after a heated meeting that drew hundreds from the community and lasted more than nine hours. Previously chief of the LAPD and NYPD, Bratton is known for aggressive tactics, including the highly controversial "stop and frisk" policy which has raised concerns over civil rights and racial profiling. Oakland is the most violent city in the state, with a 23 percent increase in serious crime in 2012.
Apple Inc. reported a $13 billion profit in the fourth quarter of 2012, bringing last year's total profit to over $40 billion. But the maker of the highly popular iPads and iPhones found investors still hedging their bets, with a marked drop in the price of the company's stock.

Indranil Bhaduri
Could You Say?
When you smile with a cheerful face
Touching my soul staying far far away,
I dream of you with a delightful mind
And live for you every night and day.
When you are there very near to me,
And end my long time waiting spree,
I long to gift a fresh red rose,
And wish to hold you and walk together free.
When your small fingers touch my palm
And makes you passionate and intensely shiver,
I feel like starting a beautiful journey,
Sailing together to the horizon, in the lone river.
When you look deep into my eyes
And turn your face into crimson red,
I wish to touch your tender lips
And lovingly kiss your forehead.
I embrace my heart with your thoughts,
They seek some moments for me to say,
My wish cries to hug you tight,
And make a memorable romantic day.
Is it my love that speaks for you? Could you say?

Education OptionsMarch 11 2010 at 5:43 pm 1 Comments
On Sunday, February 21, I took a few minutes to talk to the church about education options. My focus was on our sobering responsibility as parents to steward the hearts and minds of our children as we guide them through their school years, and on guarding our unity as different families choose different education paths. Above is the video of my comments.
Share this on:
I realy appreciate your words and the spirit behind them about the pastors supporting the different education options for our children and that there are more than two options and that public school might be the right one. Thats radical compared to where we have been but consistent with where we are going on trying to be gospel living people. Jesus said we are in the world but not of it but sometimes I wonder if we are even in the world.
