Psalms 86:12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. What is the primary job of a Christian? How is this done? The primary job of the Christian is to glorify God and bring glory to His name. Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." This what we want to about today We Glorify God By:
Bearing Fruit John 15:8 "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples." To bear fruit we must be in Christ, John 17:1-7 What kind of fruit should we be bearing? Good Works Galatians 6:10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." The fruit of:
Matthew 20:25-28 "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." HeartSoulMindStrengthMark 12:30 Love God is not only concerned with our love for Him But also our love for our fellow-man. We should love God with all our: Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
We should bear the fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. John 15:9-12 "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." Paul tells us how to love in I Corinthians 13. Mark 12:31 "And the second, like it, is this: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
The Proper Use Of Our Mouth Romans 15 :6 That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The mouth can be used for good or evil. James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Improper uses of the mouth: Ephesians 4:25 Therefore, putting away lying, each one speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. Revelation 21:8 "All liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'' Lying
Foul Talk Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. Colossians 3:8 But now you must also put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Using The Lord's Name In Vain Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, It was false witnesses who testified against Jesus. Whenever we use the Lord's name it should be done reverently and with honor. Any other use would be using it in vain.
Proper Use Edifying Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Edify—To instruct in such a way as to improve, enlighten, or uplift, morally, spiritually, or intellectually; to build. I Corinthians 14:12 So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church. Encouraging/Exhortation
I Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Worshipping God Hebrews 12:28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe; Hebrews 13:15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Teaching God's Word
There is no greater way to show our love for someone than to share the gospel with them. Jesus commanded itWe just need to do it! Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…" Mark 16:15-16 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.'' This is why Christ came in the world
In Our Daily Living Everything we do should bring glory to God I Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. Every day should be used to glorify God through Christ Luke 9:23 "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Our Primary Purpose Is To Glorify God HOW WELL ARE YOU FULFILLING YOUR PURPOSE?

So I am wondering how you go about encouraging night weaning?
We have successfully got ds back to self settling to sleep at the beginning of the night with no fuss and it has reduced his night wakings to twice.
He is one next month and I know he doesn't nutritionally need night feeds.
I know some babies still wake a lot more than twice a night so I shouldn't complain. Which I'm not really, I can handle the 2 wake ups compared to the 6+ I was having until a couple weeks ago. But I don't want to continue indefinately.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

According to a report by The Times, Scotland Yard risks inflaming the already heated pre-election political atmosphere in Pakistan today when it delivers its report on Benazir Bhutto's assassination. Islamabad has maintained that Bhutto died from a head injury sustained when she struck her head on her car, while leaving the venue of a Pakistan People's Party rally in Rawalpindi's Liaquat Bagh area. President Musharraf has claimed that Bhutto ducked into her vehicle after it had been attacked by a gunman and a suicide bomber when she was driven away from an election rally on December 27, and in the process, struck her head on the speeding car's roof with some force.
The Times quoted a senior official as saying that: "Pakistani and Scotland Yard investigators are in consensus on the cause of death." Such a conclusion is likely to enrage Bhutto's family and her political supporters, who claim that she died from gunshot wounds.
The PPP is about to resume its campaigning for the parliamentary elections on February 18, following the end of the 40-day period of mourning for Bhutto on Thursday. Over 10,000 people gathered at her home town of Naudero on Thursday for the occasion.

In The Vampire's Assistant, Darren Shan (Chris Massoglia), is just a regular adolescent until he attends a freak show at an old, abandoned theatre with his best friend Steve (Josh Hutcherson). One thing leads to another, and suddenly Willem Dafoe is popping up for cameos, Darren's been turned into a half-vampire (prompting his discovery of hair gel), and an epic battle arises between the Vampires and the Vampaneze (evil vampires who—gasp—actually kill their victims). Manipulating all this is the ironically obese Mr. Tiny (Michael Cerveris). who is changing a book with his mind. The plot just gets more twisted from there.Talented actors such as Orlando Jones appear all of a sudden and disappear from the film just as quickly. Subplots run wild, from Larten Crepsley's (John C. Reilly) love for bearded lady Madame Truska (Salma Hayek) to a convoluted storyline involving DNA. If the movie hadn't been structured around a battle between good and evil, it would have spun itself into incoherence.The animated opening sequence was definitely the scariest, and, unfortunately, the best part of this film. The beginning got me all excited, but then the real movie started. The flashbacks and special effects feel as inauthentic as the film's tap-dancing vampires, who fight with their fingernails and knock out mere mortals with their breath. The movie does point out that these habits are really no more ridiculous than believing that vampires are blood addicts, afraid of the cross, or able to turn into bats.The bigger problem is that ˚ can't seem to figure out what genre it belongs to. It starts off as a horror comedy, only to become a fantasy, and then morphs into an action film with a great big moral pasted on at the end, as if the director wasn't really sure how to conclude the thing. The film really could have worked as a horror comedy, seeing that the humorous scenes were the most enjoyable and given director Paul Weitz's past work on American Pie and About a Boy. Having John C. Reilly in one of the main roles also should have brought the humour to the forefront, though he did an excellent job given the wooden dialogue he had to work with. (It was also great watching Reilly battle Ray Stevenson, as if he was fighting Titus Pullo from HBO's Rome.)With so many vampire movies these days taking themselves too seriously, it would have been refreshing to see one that tried to be fun instead. But Vampire Assistant's attempts at depth, including metaphors comparing puberty to vampire (sorry, half-vampire) transformation, are uninspired. At the same time, it was hard to take this movie seriously when Darren lies in his coffin, calmly playing games on his cell phone and aware that his family is mourning him just above.On the whole, The Vampire's Assistant might be a nice way to ease kids into the vampire genre on the way to Twilight or The Lost Boys. It will also resonate with fans of the books of the same name, which I myself read as a kid. But though the film has its laugh-out-loud moments, it probably isn't worth a spare afternoon.The Vampire's Assistant is now in theatres.
This Vampire requires major assistance
Strokes of imagination: Mark Kingwell
Louis Armstrong's crooning voice quietly drifts from behind philosopher, author, and professor Mark Kingwell's paper-laden desk, echoing across a meticulously organized and half-empty corner office, like the ghostly strains of a party that's happening down the street. The hushed quiet of the clean-cut space seems almost incomplete in Kingwell's absence. A pair of tortoise shell Elwood wayfarers perches atop a pile of notes and next to an uncapped pen, static in the silence.Kingwell enters the office with the confidence of a graduating high school senior. Sombre, but self-assured, he manages to wear an ironic philosophical T-shirt and jeans—without looking like a douche-bag. He picks up his pen and fiddles with his computer,"So, what can I do for you?" he asks quietly.In the introduction to Kingwell's latest book, a meditation and interpretation of the life of Glenn Gould, John Ralston Saul calls Kingwell "a philosopher of our times and of our attempts to reinvent our existence." And indeed, Kingwell explains with a sheepish smile, the presence and thought of Gould is evident on every page of the book, though Gould certainly isn't mentioned on every page."A reader said something about the book that I really liked," Kingwell says. "Gould is less the subject of the book, than the muse behind it."Saul approached Kingwell to contribute to the "Extraordinary Canadians" series two years ago. The series pairs an interesting and prominent living Canadian with the works and life of an interesting and prominent dead Canadian."Unlike some other cases, he didn't actually have someone in mind for me," Kingwell explains, "I was prepared to do Robertson Davies, but it seemed less interesting than one of these pairings might be. I just had a flash one morning that maybe nobody had taken Gould."He continues to explain that in his opinion, the importance of the series isn't the facts of a narrative life, but the interaction between the author and their chosen subject."I had a sense that Gould was an interesting thinker about music," he says, "I didn't realize just how interesting he would be until I started doing my research. […] I didn't have the intellectual wherewithal to convince them fully at the beginning that the combination of a philosopher and a musician was a good idea. I'm not a musician. But the whole point of the series is to take a famous dead Canadian and a live one, slam them together, and see what happens. The most productive combinations are going to be the ones that are a little bit off. There was just no point in writing a shorter version of a comprehensive biography."Instead of a comprehensive biography, the book is structured as an almost kaleidoscopic series of 21 "takes" on Gould's life. Each chapter presents a reinterpretation and altogether different version of the life and the driving purposes behind it. Approached with Kingwell's signature second-person style, the book seeks to understand the persona behind Gould's actions and recordings, and appeals to the reader to understand the torrid mindset and almost frantic search for reinvention and identity that drove the prolific, neurotic, enigmatic figure. Somewhat rambling, and tip-toeing around the edge of being altogether random, Kingwell presents a meditation on the thoughts and ideas of a musician the way he perceived them, placing the book's emphasis on the fruits of pairing a more disciplined and philosophical thinker with a talented and tortured musician."Gould's' music is the audible tip of the iceberg," he says, "It's the part you hear, hiding the part you don't hear. You can appreciate it for its clarity and its beauty, but it's only one-eighth of what's going on. The rest of it is only partly revealed in his written work, and that's a part of the enduring fascination with Gould."Kingwell took an abstract approach to getting inside Gould's head. In a period of four months, he spent every day with Gould's music and his written work. He listened to a comprehensive set of Gould recordings on repeat, and tortured his close friends with stories of the musician's life and accounts of abstract issues of consciousness and identity."In that fairly short period, you're dominated by your subject's concerns, and you're trying to grapple with them from your own perspective. It does drive you a little bit crazy," he says, "If you spend a lot of time in his company, in a sense, you get a real vibe of that lack of resolution of identity. It's almost like the picture of himself couldn't come into focus. […] And that, in my opinion, is his single most contribution to 20th-century culture."In Glenn Gould, Kingwell approaches the tragedy and pain of his subject with an intrigued sensitivity, using peculiarities and eccentricities to explain a larger philosophical schema. In person, Kingwell communicates the extent of pain and passion, which were a part of getting inside of Gould's head with an almost fervent tone breaking into his steadily calm articulation. He describes Gould as a fractured thinker, someone for whom the tension of day-to-day life was peppered with the burden of extraordinary talent. He speaks of Gould almost as an acquaintance, rather than a subject; a brother rather than a case study. But, after all, they did spend four months together."It's funny, because intellectual life is supposed to be programmatic—you're supposed to arrive at conclusions through rational reflections," Kingwell explains about his approach to the book, "But these strokes of imagination are much more important. […] You have to start the performance, and see if you can pull it off."Mark Kingwell is participating in the IFOA's Extraordinary Canadians panel at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31 at the Harbourfront Centre's Brigantine Room. Tickets are free for students.

Atlas unplugged
Well into the evening last Saturday night, Lee's Palace was far from capacity. The large line-up that routinely circles the wall of the venue was nonexistent, and people wandered in sparingly, casually flashing their ticket stubs and thrusting their wrists out to receive a token "Lee's" stamp at the door. The lack of loyal fans that usually greet a 10 p.m. set time was somewhat disconcerting. Inside though, there was a relaxed atmosphere about the few people around—a tacit understanding that what was to come would be remarkable.Like other indie enthusiasts, I have loyally followed Bradford Cox's more renowned band, Deerhunter, and seen their shows a handful of times. The atmosphere at Lee's Palace, though, told me that his solo incarnation would be very different. Fellow Atlantans The Selmanaires opened the show with an abundance of instruments, wheezy vocals, and a psychedelic tone. Yet despite all their experimental glory, there was something fundamentally off about this four-person outfit, resulting in shoegaze-wannabe status at best. When they announced their last song, the audience erupted into an ambiguous cheer of support and relief.Sure enough, come 11 p.m., the venue had become an overcrowded zoo, accompanied by the zealousness I once doubted. There was no calculated tardiness or boring introduction: Cox walked onstage without a minute to spare, grabbed his acoustic guitar, mouthed an eerie "hello" into the mic, and launched into his set. Though he's been known to wear anything from maids' dresses to fishnets on stage, he sported corduroys and a knit sweater. His tall and skinny frame loomed over the crowd and his voice and presence were simply ethereal.His songs, though leisurely and basic, were far from boring. Electronic loops and overlapping guitar riffs were otherworldly and hypnotic. Already, his live performance was far greater than my spaced-out imagination could fathom. Five songs in came the much-anticipated (thank you, Pitchfork) Noah Lennox duet "Walkabout." The familiar, sweet-sounding hook of the intro was the catalyst to make the otherwise head-bobbing crowd start boogying.There were a few show casualties, including an onstage police announcement asking for two gentlemen to report to the doors immediately. "Screw you guys," Cox sarcastically exclaimed. "Thanks for ruining the effing show."The peak of the set was when Cox calmly announced he'd like to play a new song, to which the crowd responded with eager applause. He strapped his acoustic guitar back on, and began a gentle instrumental with quiet bass and percussion complementing him in the background. It was then that he finally broached the famed looping technique that Atlas Sound is so well known for. Allowing several chords to loop over each other electronically, he left his guitar to stroll to the back of the stage and make use of an abandoned drum set. Suddenly, the four band members perked up again—the bass, percussion and tambourine all coming into play—and the room was lit up by the hauntingly beautiful orchestra.Cox's performance was awe-inspiring and gorgeous, and I left at midnight having made sense of what I was so unsure of only hours prior. I was hooked. After eight years in the spotlight, with two years of solo glory as Atlas Sound, Cox has achieved the sort of cult audience that won't slow down anytime soon.
Freshly Pressed: IDLE TIGERS — PERSISTING LIKE A RACEHORSE
Persisting Like a Racehorse, the second album by Idle Tigers, combines the sounds of Stereolab, Syd Barrett, and Tiny Tim into one seriously unique mix. Like on his first album, last year's The Spirit Salon, Idle Tigers (a.k.a. Ross Hawkins) experiments with electronic sound against mandolin music and witty verse.On Persisting, Hawkins retraces his roots to Northern England, meshing historical, contemporary, and imaginary tales to illustrate a rural countryside on mushrooms. On stand-out tracks "Silk on My Knee," "The Adoration of the Magi," and "Kitchen Sink," Hawkins turns traditional stories upside down, commenting on the absurdity of modern life and sympathizing with those disappointed with their lot.Ultimately, the lyrics are what take the spotlight in all of Hawkins' songs. Even referring to them as "songs" is a little misleading, as this would imply some sort of melody or musical touch. The tracks are better described as a showcase of electronic sounds paired with decorative recitation of poetry.Listened to passively, the album doesn't really work, and delivers the same effect as a haunted house soundtrack. (This is not only a warning, but a suggestion. Halloween is just around the corner, after all.) But if you've got time to devote to it, Persisting Like a Racehorse is worth listening to at least once. Even beyond appreciating the cleverly crafted lyrics, it will make for a unique, albeit creepy listening experience.

What happens when you cram tons of highly intelligent, enthusiastic, hardworking students into one place and try to transform them through four years of rigour and sleep deprivation into successful engineers?Even non-engineers should know that such a person requires some sort of outlet, and for the cast of Skule Nite, it's a musical comedy revue. Logic should follow that overloading these diligent students with even more classes and depriving them of even more sleep can turn them into a world famous musical sketch comedy revue. At least, that is what Skule Nite hopes will happen when they compete in this year's Toronto Sketch Comedy festival.Ever since their first variety show performance at Massey Hall in 1921, Skule Nite has been dazzling audiences with their witty scenes and zany musical numbers. Featured every March at Hart House, the group's annual show has become a mainstay of the university's theatre scene and plays to packed houses every year. According to group member Jonathan Sun, Skule Nite's brand of comedy "is made up of short scenes touching on a variety of different subjects that don't necessarily have to do with one another. Just think Saturday Night Live."He adds that unlike many other comedy groups, Skule Nite members do not generate their material through improvisation, but plan and write it ahead of time. "Since we're associated with the Faculty of Engineering, we do include some engineering jokes in our routines, but we try to make sure that they are suitable for a general audience."Group member Hasan Alkabeer adds, "At least 70 per cent of our material has to do with other topics: politics, pop culture, anything really. We want to be accessible to everyone." For example, one of last year's sketches featured "Four Years to Save the World," a song that parodied Barack Obama using the Madonna hit "Four Minutes."Engineering students find themselves joining Skule Nite through a variety of paths. Elissa Caccavella, a fourth-year chemical engineering student and assistant director of this year's March show, recounts, "In my first year here I went to see the show and could not pass up the chance to audition. I've always been a dancer, so I appreciated the incorporation of musical theatre elements into the show. It's a good way to meet new people and engage with the wider community. It's also a nice break from school."Not all Skule Nite members are engineering students. A friend introduced Gete Berhe, who studies human biology, to the group. "I auditioned because a friend who studies engineering needed someone to audition with. I got in, and since then, I've absolutely fallen in love with Skule Nite," she said.Nina Mason, who recently graduated from U of T's Drama department and is now training to become a Montessori teacher, appreciates the laid-back atmosphere of the group. "This is much less formal than the kind of work I'm used to," she says. "It's more casual and participants have a more direct impact on the creative process. In the drama department I did various kinds of classical and contemporary theatre and I liked that. However, with Skule Nite I get to do something completely different."Building on the success that they have enjoyed over the years, Skule Nite members decided to expand their scope by entering Sketch Fest, an annual competition for sketch comedy groups from across Canada and the United States. According to group member Peter Raimondo, "Of about 120 entries from across Canada and the U.S., 48—including Skule Nite—were selected. We are very excited about this." Sketch Fest will allow Skule Nite to perform alongside such well-established professional groups as Toronto Second City. Prizes include a range of cash awards, free workshops, and further performance opportunities.One of the many hilarious sketches to be featured in the performances is entitled "Coming Soon," and tells the story of three roommates, one of whom has recently started a job doing voice-overs for film previews. Perhaps overzealous in his career, he has begun to narrate all aspects of his daily life as voice-overs, and his omniscient insight into his surroundings soon leads him to reveal his two roommates' dirtiest secrets, to his own advantage.This year's festival features three other groups that have attended U of T: Statutory Jape, The Boom, and Shoeless. But let's see how far Skule Nite can go while they continue to spend their days in class.The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival runs November 10 to 15 at The Second City and other venues.

'Get off our property!'
In May 2008, the Beaver Lake Cree launched a lawsuit against the government of Canada and the province of Alberta to prevent the expansion of the tar sands into their territory, located in Lac La Biche, Alberta. According to the lawsuit, an 1876 treaty between the Cree and Alberta states that "in exchange for the surrender of land," the Cree have "the right to hunt and fish through the tract surrendered." But development of the tar sands will render the land uninhabitable, the Cree say. Jack Woodward, who represents the Beaver Lake Cree, spoke Tuesday evening at the George Ignatieff Theatre, hosted by the group Environmental Defence."What this case is about, for the Cree People, is protecting the integrity of their land, and protection of the land in which they hunt and fish. And they are guaranteed that right to hunt and fish in their treaty," said Woodward.According to the lawsuit's 745-page statement of claim, Alberta has granted over 16,000 permits for companies to extract oil from the Beaver Lake Cree's traditional territory, with the permits representing infringements on this treaty right. The method of extraction, called steam-assisted gravity drainage, destroys large swaths of boreal forest and releases toxins that seep into the land.The Canadian Constitution enshrines Aboriginal treaty rights, which, according to Woodward, means no statute of Canada or Alberta can infringe on these rights. In a 2005 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the Mikisew Cree when they sued the Canadian government, ruling that the construction of a winter road through their reserve in Alberta infringed upon their treaty right to hunt, fish, and trap. "This is an exercise of the most potent environmental law available in the Canadian legal system," Woodward said.Neither Canada nor Alberta have issued a statement of defence, although they are required to do so within three weeks of the statement of claim being filed. The Attorney General in Ottawa declined to comment for this article, as did representatives of BP Canada Energy, Canada Natural Resources Ltd., Conoco Phillips, Devon Corporation, and Husky Energy."It's very, very difficult to do what Beaver Lake Cree are doing, what my community is doing, and what hundreds of other [aboriginal communities] are doing," said Ron Plain, program manager of Environmental Defence's aboriginal program. Plain said that departments in the Canadian government are set up to work in the best interest of the Crown, and highlighted the personal struggles that community members go through.
President of Guyana visits U of T to speak on climate change
Climate change due to deforestation is one of the biggest threats facing our species today. President Bharrat Jagdeo of the Republic of Guyana thinks he knows how to solve it. Jagdeo gave a lecture at Hart House on Thursday, October 22 discussing sustainable forestry and climate change.Jagdeo, who Time magazine and CNN named as one of the heroes of the environment in 2008, spoke about the failure of past international environmental initiatives. "I think we fail because the Kyoto model did not address the crude costs of deforestation. In Haiti and in the Dominican Republic, trees are being cut down because people need firewood to cook and eat. There is a rational incentive to deforest," said Jagdeo.He argues for a new global environmental model called Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, a strategy that merges a low-carbon economy with sustainable forestry. "In Guyana, we have decided to do a large-scale pilot [study] to encompass the whole country. We have 16 million hectares of forest. We are prepared to save the forest if the incentives are there."REDD is based on the idea that former international agreements, such as the Kyoto Protocol, left out an important detail in the battle against climate change: the protection of forests and their ability to preserve biodiversity, regulate rainfall, and act as carbon sinks. In order to generate revenue, countries such as Guyana that possess large areas of rainforest will charge developed nations for the service of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Jagdeo explained how the idea of REDD will work in Guyana: "What is the profit from timber, soybean production, and mining? Out of that sum, we subtract the loss of local ecosystem services." He has come up with a cost effective model that works out to a profit of $580 million per year."We've had a consultation process, [we formed] a committee with indigenous people, loggers, miners, the private sector, every interest group. We are trying to develop a broad national consensus," he explained.He addressed where the revenue from the low carbon model will go. "Most of our people live below sea level, we want to spend some of the money on bettering our control of water management. We want to spend some resources on a whole series of low carbon investment opportunities, such as ecotourism and large-scale agriculture. To create alternative employment for people, we want to use some of the resources to transform the economies of indigenous villages, find sustainable activities for them to earn money," he said.In a Q&A session after the lecture, Jagdeo addressed the possibility of government corruption within his low-carbon model: "We need new government structures to deal with global climate change funds which should have separate procedures. A global governance structure for the government is a vital part of the discussion in Copenhagen."Jagdeo also spoke earlier in the day at York University and Trent University. When asked why he wanted to speak at universities, he responded, "It is important to raise awareness within academia and the public at large. Negotiations for a replacement to Kyoto have taken place at a technical level, but what is needed now is a political breakthrough to have a successful agreement. The political incentive will only come about if everyone gets involved in the debate."The Republic of Guyana plans to debut the model at the Climate Conference in Copenhagen later this year. "We want to prove before Copenhagen that we have a model that works," said Jagdeo. "Encourage your government to get involved. Non-governmental organizations, the private sector, we all need to take positions. It will happen when we all become involved."I think we fail because the Kyoto model did not address the crude costs of deforestation. In Guyana, we have decided to do a large-scale pilot study to encompass the whole country. We have 16 million hectares of forest. We are prepared to save the forest if the incentives are there.
The Soviet Union fell 20 years ago, but remnants of Russian authoritarism remain strong today
The Economist published a story last week illustrating an important fact about today's Russian society. As a joke, a restaurant called themselves the Anti-Soviet because of its location opposite a hotel called the Soviet. Local authorities ordered the restaurant change its name. Spreading anti-Soviet feelings, the restaurant was told by the local state, is not acceptable in Russia.This is only one example of such state intervention. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, an ex-KGB member, has repeatedly engaged in acts that embrace the old Soviet Union ideology. He has called the USSR's fall "the greatest geo-political catastrophe," has re-entered pro Stalin teachings into school curricula, and has created a statue in honour of the cruel dictator in a Moscow Metro station.Putin and his administration increasingly use methods associated with the Communist Party of Soviet Union and the Soviet regime. They have rigged elections, and have arrested and harassed lawyers, journalists, activists, trade unionists, and anybody who is in opposition to those currently in power. They've appointed hand puppet President Dmitry Medvedev, who everybody knows carries no real weight without Putin's approval.The traditions of the CPSU are not carried by its legal successor, the Communist Party of Russian Federation, but by Putin's party, United Russia. The genealogy of United Russia goes right back to the same CPSU and the Soviet elite. They had enjoyed their privileges for years, while letting the Soviet economy sink in its inability to compete on a world scale. But they weren't content with that; they wanted to plunder the assets of the Russian people. That is to say, they wanted capitalism.These poster boys only wanted western-style democracy when it was accompanied by capitalism because it would let them sell national property, knock-down prices, and become rich overnight. They didn't really want democracy at all.It is natural that Putin stands for a lot of what Soviet bureaucracy stood for, while at the same protecting the private economy and never talking about going back to the nationalized economy of the USSR. After all, what would be better than a capitalist regime where bureaucrats can make themselves wealthy by selling national assets, accompanied by all the repressive measures needed to silence the society? Market without democracy—that is what they stand for.It is true that Putin is popular among the people. Tired of the miserable life they had to live, especially in the first years after the fall, people turned to a strongman who wouldn't talk about boring politics and would single-handedly rule the country. A man of common sense, who is "one of them." Putin has been very successful in promoting this picture of himself.But who are the real opponents of these authoritarian measures? Who has fought against them, and who can actually put them to an end?The right, the liberal critics, and the champions of western liberals have no base in Russian society. Their two per cent of the vote in the last election might be lower than what it actually was (due to rigging by the government), but the real result couldn't have been much better. They have failed to win any support in Russia, which is why they're easily repressed.It's an historical irony, then, that the only real opposition to the Putin regime comes from the Communist Party of Russian Federation. Workers, trade unionists, youths and left radicals are coming to the ranks of the CPRF in recent years, and it has managed to be by far the second biggest party in country.Russia's political development is still far from a finished process. The people who are tired of Putin's rule remain apathetic and avoid politics, or focus on NGO-style operations and human rights activism, which doesn't extend into the realm of political power. But the CPRF has shown that it can attract protest movements, and maybe under better leadership, be a voice of opposition.The subsequent history of Russia will depend on the degree to which the CPRF, or any other party, could lead a mass opposition to the country's elite authoritarian rule, and demand the political power.

The NLCE is a forward thinking group of pro-active landlords & agents. Offering a national solution to best practice letting guidelines, property maintenance tracking, accreditation and training.
Read on…… What is the NLCE
From our team of specialists we offer introductory and established letting and rental guidelines, what you need to know about your legal obligations and how to build strong tenant/landlord relationships to improve stability, community, understanding and long term rentals.
Our experience has shown over the years that most problems arise in a tenancy because of property repairs and maintenance issues.
This is why to overcome this problem the NLCE has created a national tenant repair reporting system. The streamlined repair reporting system allows tenants to make a formal written notification to a landlord about property repairs.
This service is free to all UK tenants and formalises the reporting of repairs.
Landlords must note that in law for new tenancies which start in (or after) October 2015;
In today's culture of "where there is blame there is a claim" it is imperative that landlords document and itemise everything that is required of them. For instance, if a landlord does not register a deposit properly they can end up paying 3 times the deposit to a tenant in compensation, or failure to register an annual gas certificate can land a PRS buy-to-let property investor in jail.
At the NLCE we offer those who wish to adopt the code of excellence and become accredited the opportunity to have a free management dashboard, where landlords can upload their relevant documents, add the dates of renewals and then our system will send an email within two weeks of renewal (to remind the landlord that they need to renew their documents).
You can get this free service by calling 0800 9994 994 and we will register you free and get you started.

Thank you for your quick response, this has been the most incredible display of customer support I have ever encountered. I am truly thankful for your dedication to your product.
Alexander Roos, University of Maryland College Park
I've worked with a wide variety of vendors during my 15 years as a System Administrator for both educational institutes as well as hospitals, and for the most part, I've been satisfied with the level of customer service received. But very seldom have I ever experienced such commendable level of customer care that [your account executive] was able [to] provide. With frequent back and forth exchange of emails, phone conversations, as well as voice mail messages, [she], without fail, always provided exceptionally quick, courteous, and professional responses. It is this level of customer service that all businesses should be modeling after. [...] she always manages to inject a touch of kindness, respect, and friendliness with every interaction that is difficult if not impossible to coach or train. [...] Her exemplary customer care certainly reflects positively on the company that obviously values their customers and sets such high standard for customer service. I very much look forward to doing business with your company again.

Thank you very much for answering my questions to Stata so fast. I was really surprised about the service that exists for your users.
Dagmar Biberger, University of Munich
Three years ago, I started teaching a one week seminar at U Michigan's ICPSR Summer Training Program. Nobody at ICPSR had been using Stata, and StataCorp generously provided copies of the program and documentation. Three years later, Stata is becoming the software of choice in the classes. This year, StataCorp offered a very generous price (the grad pac price) to participants. Several people in my class were feeling a bit pressured to make a decision and I told them not to worry that the folks at Stata are very reasonable. Indeed, when these people called, those answering the phone went to great lengths to work out POs, payment, and all the details. And, the support staff at ICPSR report that the help they receive if they have a problem is absolutely first rate.
I'm always reluctant to recommend software, but I'm pleased to report that everyone who has taken my suggestion to try Stata has been very pleased.
J. Scott Long, Department of Sociology, Indiana University
Stata has world-class customer service!
Cheryl Tiahrt, Manager of Technology Services, Information Technology Services, The University of South Dakota
Thank you so much for your great customer service. I certainly appreciate being able to work with a company willing to help out their customers in a timely fashion.
Diane Benckert, Office Manager, School of Public Health, Drexel University
If we were asked to rate vendors, I would definitely rate Stata five stars.
Diane Kaczor, University of North Carolina
I am extremely impressed with the level of service we have received with this order. Like your software, the support components of your business appear to be in great working order as well.
Joseph Dorris, Altarum Institute
Your responsiveness and skill are greatly appreciated. You at StataCorp are setting, I think, a new standard for statistical software, and also a new standard for interactions with your customers.
William Mason, Department of Sociology, UCLA

David Crosby, Stoner Time Machine, History Lesson
David Crosby is the Forrest Gump of rock n' roll.
I'm not saying Mr. Crosby isn't very bright, nor that he's very fast or adept at ping pong. But just as you can't escape Forrest Gump when going through 20th century American history -- there Forrest is shaking JFK"s hand, now he's stopping the Watergate break-in, is he teaching Elvis how to dance?! -- neither can you escape David Crosby when looking at the annals of rock 'n' roll history.
To anticipate David Crosby's Friday night performance as part of Crosby, Stills and Nash, let's step into the way, way back machine and see all the places David Crosby pops up.

Earlier this month, when the BBC unveiled its plans for this year's fund-raising extravaganza, Sport Relief, on 15 July, it included a new attraction called Strictly Come Pole Dancing. The prospect certainly appealed to the tabloids, which loved the idea of famous women getting their kit off for the lads - and for charity, of course. Zoe Ball's name was mentioned - one red-top hailed her as "brave Zoe" - while the BBC website directed visitors to an interview with the chat-show host Patrick Kielty, who salivated over the idea that newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky might get involved.
"Natasha Kaplinsky sliding down a pole," Kielty exclaimed in a piece of audio available on the BBC website two days ago. "Come on, like a snail on a lamp-post - we all want to see that!" Oh, really? Not only do I not want to watch female celebrities gyrating round poles for a blokeish audience of sports fans, I'm sure many other people will be alarmed by this evidence that raunch culture - the commercial sex industry selling demeaning male fantasies as sexual freedom - has invaded the BBC.
Pole dancing is the supposedly respectable end of a huge industry which ruthlessly exploits women. There are persistent allegations that dancers are encouraged, or even expected, to have sex with customers, and that they are abused by staff such as doormen. "Despite celebrity advocates promoting pole dancing as harmless fun, we must not forget that it has inextricable links to the sexual exploitation of women," Denise Marshall, chief executive of the charity Eaves Housing for Women, told me.
Her organisation oversees the Poppy Project, which with Home Office funding runs the UK's only refuge for trafficked women. The male bonding which accompanies big sporting events, such as this summer's football World Cup, has a dark side that expresses itself in visits to sleazy clubs and massage parlours, where men are increasingly likely to have sex with trafficked women.
The combination of sport, booze and sex is a huge problem, encouraging degrading attitudes and sometimes actual violence towards women. Premiership footballers boast about activities such as "roasting", promoting the idea among fans that such behaviour is manly; and a string of young women, some of them only schoolgirls, have approached the police with allegations of gang-rape.
With the football World Cup soon to take place in Germany, anti-trafficking organisations, EU justice ministers and the Council of Europe are up in arms at the prospect of 40,000 women being imported for the "use" of visiting fans, a scandal that is only just beginning to receive the attention it deserves. "There are so many people, particularly in eastern European countries such as Ukraine, where they have very few education and unemployment opportunities, where they face terrible discrimination and they are really very, very vulnerable indeed," the Labour MEP Glenys Kinnock observed recently. They are also, ironically, just the kind of people that Sport Relief - set up by Comic Relief and BBC Sport - is supposed to help.
The scale of the problem is breathtaking. During a Council of Europe debate last month, one delegate made the startling claim that there are virtually no young women left in some villages in Moldova; they have all been lured to western Europe with promises of jobs in bars and restaurants, only to find themselves working as pole dancers, prostitutes or even sex slaves. "It is completely inappropriate for Comic Relief to sexualise women in the name of sport," Denise Marshall told me, "especially at a time when we know that thousands of women are being trafficked to Germany to meet the sexual demands of football fans."
The BBC's response is predictable: when I call on Friday, a press officer insists it's all a bit of fun. Yes, she admits, Strictly Come Pole Dancing was announced at the launch of Sport Relief but "we're not going to call it that and we're still working on the format". I point out that it's still called Strictly Come Pole Dancing on the BBC website and read her the quote from Kielty's interview, which she dismisses as just "Patrick's bit of fun".
"It's intended as a light-hearted, fun way of raising money," she says. "It's an entertainment show. We're not making any comment whatever on any issues." Is she aware, I ask, of research suggesting links between strip clubs and prostitution, confirming their status as an integral part of the commercial sex industry? She isn't, and calls me back to ask whether I know that lots of women go to pole dancing classes as a form of exercise.
More to the point, I think, is the fact that research carried out in London by the Lilith Project suggests that "lap-dancing networks have links with other aspects of the sex industry, and more troublingly, with the traffickers who often supply this industry. This is the darker side of the slickly marketed, slightly naughty night out". The researchers also point out that the presence of strip clubs in a neighbourhood draws potentially violent men and unlicensed minicabs, putting women at risk.
In 2001, the female rape rate in the London Borough of Camden, which then had seven clubs sited mainly in residential areas, was three times the national average; the researchers say that since 1999, rape of women in Camden has increased by 50 per cent and indecent assault by 57 per cent . In 2002, a report from the council's environmental health department recorded that some streets had turned into "a no-go area for female shoppers and male passers-by who are often accosted by pimps and other strip clubs offering sexual services and favours".
At the BBC, the sports press office is still insisting that none of this has anything to do with the corporation's exciting plans for 15 July. "Everyone seems to be assuming we're getting women to do this," she says. "It hasn't been decided yet. We're not just talking to women." She tells me that the event has got a new name, which isn't yet on the website but gets round all the problems I've raised about sport and the sexual exploitation of women. Go on, then, what is it? Er... Strictly Dirty Dancing.
No connection with strip clubs or raunch culture there, then. I'm not surprised, on Friday evening, to get another call, informing me that Strictly Dirty Dancing may get the chop. I just wish I could be sure the BBC's got the message, rather than trying to avert a PR disaster.

The following presidential hopefuls are participating in the event: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
Romney finished in first place in the 2012 Iowa caucus and New Hampshire's primary election earlier this month.
