(Corrects to indicate Perry's armband reads "persist" not "resist")
By Alexandria Sage
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 12 (Reuters) - A giant video projection of the U.S. Constitution loomed over the stage at this year's Grammys, making the music industry's top awards show one of the most overtly political yet.
The document that defines America and famously begins with "We the People" provoked a standing ovation from the audience at the culmination of a performance by pop singer Katy Perry, who wore a "Persist" armband and sang her newly released song, "Chained to the Rhythm."
With a refrain of "We think we're free," the song's lyrics talk about being lulled into a "comfortable bubble." Performing on a set that included a picture-perfect white picket fence, Perry was joined by Skip Marley, grandson of Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley, whose songs often protested against oppression and social injustice.
The aftermath of November's bitterly fought U.S. presidential election has produced a succession of political comments by artists at awards shows, most notably actress Meryl Streep's speech attacking U.S. President Donald Trump during the Golden Globes Awards in January.
That spree continued on Sunday, as various artists talked about the divisive political atmosphere and the need to speak out.
"At this particular time in history, our voices are needed more than ever," said Jennifer Lopez onstage at the start of the show.
In a more comic vein, Grammys host James Corden began the show with a rap: "Live it all up because this is the best, and with President Trump we don't know what comes next."
Hip-hop pioneers A Tribe Called Quest performed a politically charged medley with best new artist nominee Anderson Paak, calling out to "Agent Orange," a nickname for Trump. At the end of the song, women wearing headscarves joined the performers onstage accompanied by cries of "Resist!"
At an early ceremony ahead of the main awards show, Chance the Rapper won an award for best rap performance, during which he wore a black hoodie with "Obama" on the back and "thank you" on the front.
But the commentary was not all anti-Trump. In a bold statement that instantly made headlines, singer Joy Villa on the red carpet revealed a gown with "Make America Great Again" - the election slogan of Trump - stitched down the front. (Reporting By Alexandria Sage; Editing by Bill Rigby)

When my husband and I arrived in Papua New Guinea, where we were to work with the Summer Institute of Linguistics, an arm of Wycliffe Bible Translators, one of the things I found a bit awkward was the custom of hiring people to work for us in and around our home. We were told if we did not hire a woman to help in the house and a man to help keep the yard and garden, the people would consider us very stingy. So I complied. Davi came to do housework twice a week and Iya came to do the gardening. I grew to love and appreciate them both.
Iya was a very happy fellow, always smiling, often whistling or singing. So when he came to the house one day with a long face I knew something bad had happened. He told me his wife's "papa," (probably her maternal uncle), had been attacked on the trail to their village. Men from a nearby tribe had hacked his legs and back with a machete. He was in the hospital. That was indeed bad news. You don't go to the hospital to get well in PNG, you go there to die.
Iya told me the men in his village were preparing their weapons - sharpening their machetes and making spears and arrows to retaliate against the people who had attacked the man. You see in PNG there is a system of pay-back that must be followed. Good for good, bad for bad.
I was upset at this news and wanted to call in the cavalry - send the police, send an army of missionaries to stop the violence that was going to happen. But Iya said no.
"Yu mus tok long Bikpela, tasol," You must pray to God, that's all, he said.
So I prayed. A few days later Iya came to work. He was smiling. He was whistling. And he had a story to tell. He said when his wife's papa heard that the men in the village were preparing for war he insisted that he be taken home. He could not walk so they carried him through the jungle and when they got to the edge of the village he told them to put him down. He crawled to the centre of the village where the men were making arrows and he told them they had to stop. "Jesus does not want this," he said. "Jesus told us to love our enemies. Put your arrows away."
And they did.
I learned a very valuable lesson that day, from an illiterate man in a stone age culture. Sometimes you pray. That's all.
I've been thinking about that a lot lately, as I launch a new fantasy series and ponder all the marketing I am expected to do. I've been through this before and just the thought of doing it all again makes me tired, especially since most of what I tried last time did not work very well. So I've been praying about it and it seems the Lord is leading me to do just that.
So I've decided to take Iya's advice once again. I'm going to pray. That's all. Yes, I know it's risky. And it's hard. I keep thinking of all the things I should be doing and I'm tempted to once again jump into the marketing maze with both feet. But then I remember what God has done in the past, how He has changed lives with my writing and spread my words further than I ever thought possible.

This is a very bizarre post, because a friend of mine sent me a buzzfeed post about fashion, but the difference this time is that the last photo of the post was straight form my instagram. Yes I'm super excited, although a heads up from the buzzfeed writer would have been nice to keep a look out for the post, thank god my friend saw it! Still I'm super excited for it!!! Check it here!
Ecliptica | Paradis
Got the chance to be backstage taking pictures for Matte Mag in Ecliptica's fashion show Paradis. I couldnt ask for anything better than to enjoy a show being backstage and having the chance to document the process. The collective rush, documenting piece by piece, model by model, how details are fixed and changed at the last minute, how a show gets done and how it will be remembered. I couldn't ask for anything better. I Love it.

I am a resident in Uganda with a Ugandan driver's licence. I will be travelling to the US and Canada for one month in May/June 2010. Do I need an International Driver's licence to drive and rent cars in these countries?
I am a resident in Uganda with a Ugandan driver's licence. I will be travelling to the US and Canada for one month in May/June 2010. Do I need an International Driver's licence to drive and rent cars in these countries?
Hello chetnasriv
I've seen conflicting reports from several US State agencies as to whether or not you will need an International Driver's License..... some say yes, others say no. It looks like your best bet is to check with your local agency that issued your current driver's license. The US does not issue these licenses, so you will have to get one in Uganda if necessary. You could also check with any local Ugandan or international automobile association (here in the US it would be AAA - the American Automobile Association). They should be able to answer for Canadian driving as well. There will likely be a small charge for obtaining such a license. If your current license is not printed in English, then yes, you will need an international one.
Also, in the US and Canada, always drive on the right, unless it is a one-way road. Do pay attention to the speed limits as getting a speeding ticket can be quite costly and delay your trip.
Have you checked on any visa requirements for visiting the US and Canada? Is your passport up to date? Keep these things in mind, as well as what the weather will be like where you'll be visiting - nothing worse than expecting warm weather and suddenly it is -1C at the beach!!!!
Good luck, and happy travels.
It's my understanding that anyone from a non-English speaking country needs an international DL in the USA. Why not go to a site for a rental firm like Hertz or Avis to find out for sure.
Generally, no agency will allow you to cross an international border with a rental, and many only allow you to drive in specific states (and now they can checkup on you with GPS!) - heavy fines will be levied if these rules are violated. Also remember that a credit block of several hundred dollars will be placed on the credit card used to rent the vehicle - next to impossible to rent without a cr card.
[ Edit: Edited on 27-Mar-2010, at 16:20 by Daawgon ]
You are not required for an International Driving Permit in USA as long as you carry a valid driver's license from your home country. You may also need to have held this license for one year.

The debate regarding hiving off the debt management activities of the Reserve Bank occurred when RBI showed its disagreement in setting up a DMO under the Union government to manage the sovereign debt.
RBI was is opposition of the fact that all the vital knowledge regarding the management of the market volatility is given to the central bank only. The set up of an independent Debt Management Office was proposed to separate the role of RBI, which currently decides the interest rates in the market, and being the banker to the government.
Commenting on the issue RBI Governor Duvvuri Subbarao said at a meeting of the Central Bank Governance Group in Basel said that currently all the essential market pulse and instrument to aid in making contextual judgements. Thus, despite being an independent debt agency RBI would be unable to maintain the track.
Contrary to Subbarao, Rangarajan, a former RBI Governor commented that central should to take up its jobs and responsibility if it is adequately prepared to undertake that function. Rangarajan declared it earlier that government would require the help of RBI to raise the borrowing rate that below the market rate.
However, contradicting the statement, he recently said that the as per the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act, the RBI is not supposed to be in the primary market. However, currently, central bank is managing both the government's debt and fresh borrowings.

It seemed a decent idea at the time, but in the end Micheal Cuddyer gave the Mets more in retirement than anything he did on the field. Signed to a two-year deal to provide right-handed outfield pop, injuries sabotaged his first season with the Mets.
In announcing his retirement on an internet website, Cuddyer saves the Mets roughly $12.5 million. That's not enough to bring back Yoenis Cespedes, but that, plus the roughly $56 million they won't have to pay Ben Zobrist gives the Mets financial flexibility.
"With one year left on my contract, it is especially difficult to imagine not suiting up in a Mets uniform for one more year," Cuddyer wrote. "But after 15 years, the toll on my body has finally caught up to me."
How much of the $12.5 million the Mets will keep hasn't been announced as there is a probability he will receive some as a buyout.
Cuddyer's retirement leaves the Mets two outfield holes to fill: 1) a right-handed bat off the bench, and 2) the left-handed platoon for center fielder Juan Lagares.

The Efficacy of Foreign Exchange Market Intervention in Malawi
The Malawi kwacha was floated in February 1994. Since then, the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) has periodically intervened in the foreign exchange market. This report analyses the effectiveness of foreign exchange market interventions by RBM. We used a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH; 1,1) model to simultaneously estimate the effect of intervention on the mean and volatility of the kwacha. We also ran an equilibrium exchange rate model and use the equilibrium exchange rate criterion to compare results with those from the GARCH model. Using monthly exchange rates and official intervention data from January 1995 to June 2008, results from the GARCH model indicated that net sales of United States dollars by RBM depreciate, rather than appreciate, the kwacha. Empirically, this implies the RBM "leans against the wind", i.e., the RBM intervenes to reduce, but not reverse, around-trend exchange rate depreciation. However, results from the GARCH model for the post-2003 period indicated that RBM intervention in the market stabilizes the kwacha. In general, results from both the GARCH model and the real equilibrium exchange rate criterion for the entire study period showed that RBM interventions have been associated with increased exchange rate volatility, except during the post-2003 period. The implication of this finding is that intervention can only have a temporary influence on the exchange rate, as it is difficult to find empirical evidence showing that intervention has a longlasting, quantitatively significant effect.

i dated a close friend before and we coupled and after we breakup we can nvr be friends again :/ its just a waste we have so much to talk to :/ since then I'm scared of dating close friend and then I have another close friend that I'm intersted in but I was scared of dating him because I don't want ruin our friendship but after years we just have nothing to talk like last time we still friend but not as close as we usually do as we talk everyday :( oh well
conclusion: I will date a close friend cause I don't think there is any harm :-) cause date or not there is a risk of losing friendship00|00|0

text: Politics 6 February 2011 Nick Clegg: charlatan minor The Deputy Prime Minister's speech on growth was empty waffle. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML I have had emails from several readers asking me for my views on Nick Clegg's speech on growth. It was 2,460 words long and free of content. All in the week when my friend Polly Toynbee in her Guardian column yesterday called David Cameron "the great charlatan". I guess that makes Clegg "charlatan minor". The speech followed what is becoming a common theme in declarations about the economy from Cameron, Osborne and Clegg. First, blame Labour for the mess. "They left us well and truly in the red." And then emphasise how large interest payments are and give examples of what alternatives the money could have been spent on. "We could buy a new Chinook helicopter every day," he said -- although why we would want to do that, he didn't make clear. He probably wants one to fly around the country in so he can avoid talking to people who want to question him on his various U-turns. Second, claim that this is creating a crisis for our children and that morality is on their side. And ludicrously claim that what is going on is "theft", by emphasising only the liabilities side of the balance sheet while ignoring the asset side. From Clegg's speech: There is a moral dimension to this question too. I have never understood those who say it's more "progressive" to delay tackling the deficit, so that we shuffle off responsibility for our debts to the next generation to deal with. This strikes me as little short of intergenerational theft. It is the equivalent of loading up our credit card with debt and then expecting our kids to pay it off. Yet he fails to mention that our kids also have to suffer from an intergenerational transfer of assets including roads, hospitals, airports, schools, public health and our entire infrastructure. Third, say there is no alternative to the the government's fiscal plans and repeat several times how sincere and determined the government is to see this thing through to the end. For example: "The coalition government is determined to eliminate the deficit," and, "We are determined on our course of action to tackle the deficit," plus "As a government, we are determined to get this right". Really? Fourth, trot out as many mindless platitudes as possible that sound good but don't actually mean anything. Waffle is the watchword. "We seek nothing less than a new model of sustainable growth." "We are in government to lay the foundations for a better, stronger economy. People want their politicians to be leaders, not accountants." "A sound economy is built on diverse, strong regions and diverse, strong sectors". "We need, in short, a grown-up approach to growth, based on hard-headed analysis -- in place of the "pick-and-mix" approach that has characterised too much recent government activity, grabbing at instant initiatives rather than taking the big decisions that really count." I have no clue what that means. Finally, talk in broad terms only and provide no concrete proposals. Clegg even went as far as to say: "I do not think we should apologise for treating this issue with the utmost seriousness." We would prefer you to have a plan -- any plan -- than this empty-headed nonsense. "We need to be clear about the fundamental factors that drive economy growth; clear about the areas in which government can effectively play a role; and clear about the interventions than make the most difference." Never fear, by Budget time at the end of March they will have worked all that out! Believe that and you will believe anything. Clegg claimed there are "four important steps needed to take to build a new economy": * Weaning ourselves off debt-financed growth, and onto investment-led prosperity;* Investing in the 'hard' infrastructure that underpins growth, such as transport;* Cultivating the 'soft' infrastructure made up of knowledge, skills and education that businesses need;* Balancing regions and sectors, instead of putting all our economic eggs in one basket. OK, so we need to invest in the infrastructure and people and move to a new model of growth which doesn't exist currently, plus do some stuff for the regions and manufacturing and help chicken farmers. And don't borrow but invest a lot. And all of this by next Thursday.

Space-time alignment for asynchronous interference suppression in MIMO OFDM cellular communications and symbol -period estimation for 8-VSB digital TV

- Keywords
- Disciplines
This thesis is composed of two parts. The first part addresses multicarrier cellular systems using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Aggressive frequency reuse increases system capacity but also subjects mobiles to high levels of interference from neighboring basestations. Conventional multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems typically assume the co-channel signals to be synchronous and do not exploit the cyclic prefixes embedded in the OFDM signals. Presented herein are space-time alignment and partial equalization algorithms for cyclic-prefix based systems that are suitable for scenarios where the interferer's cyclic prefix is not time-aligned with the desired signal's cyclic prefix. The algorithms use a two-stage architecture with partial equalization for cyclic-prefix alignment in the time domain followed by simple channel equalization in the frequency domain. The algorithms align the cyclic prefixes of the multiple users, making them synchronous and thereby facilitating interference cancellation on a per frequency bin basis. They also limit the lengths of the effective channels to be no greater than the cyclic prefix length. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the alignment techniques for both coded and uncoded MIMO OFDM systems with the co-channel signals having either diverse or similar power levels. ^ The second part addresses timing recovery in digital receivers. Fast and accurate estimation of the ideal sample times is critical for rapid and stable signal acquisition. Many timing recovery techniques are based heuristically on properties of the pulse shape, which is distorted in the presence of multipath. An open-loop symbol period estimation algorithm is proposed that can be used alone or to speed up symbol timing recovery loops. The proposed algorithm is effective in frequency selective channels, does not require resampling of the digital received signal while estimating the symbol period, does not require training or estimation of the transmitted symbols, and is performed in a computationally efficient manner. ^

Thanks to everyone who bought a book so far! I'll probably be closing down the "deluxe" version by Friday so if you're still interested in nabbing a signed and arted-up copy now is the time for ACTION!
Here are two short videos that are worth watching:
Out of Sight, a lovely animated short from Taiwan (found via Lines and Colors).
OK Go, This Too Shall Pass, a music video featuring one of the coolest Rube Goldburg contraptions I've seen (and I say this as someone who's parents used to bring him to Purdue University's yearly Rube Goldburg Contest).

A dildo is a sex toy, usually shaped like a penis, intended for bodily interaction during masturbation as a masturbation toy or sexual intercourse. Dildos are used to penetrate her pussy or her ass. Some ladies also like sucking on a dildo. Usually the smaller dimensioned dildos are designed for anal penetration. Dildos which are powerdriven in order to vibrate are called vibrators. Dildos are designed in all kind of material: Glass, wood, metal, plastic and even ice. Dildos can have a textured surface. Huge dildos can generate pussy farts when removing the dildo. Dildos can be for general usage or have a custom design: very huge dildos, slim dildos, doubleheads, anal dildos and so.
If the dildo is much bigger than an average penis it is called masturbation with large objects. Depending on their shape dildos might be designed to be moved in and out of her pussy simulating a hammering penis or to stay in place.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of 3M (MMM) closed up 0.1% to $159.84 on Tuesday after the technology company said it will acquire Capital Safety from private equity firm KKR & Co. (KKR) for $2.5 billion, according to Reuters.
Capital Safety, a provider of fall protection equipment, sells harness, lanyards and other gear for workers in construction, mining and other industrial sectors.
"Personal safety is a large and strategically important growth business in the 3M portfolio," 3M CEO Inge G. Thulin said.
Acquiring Capital Safety will help 3M's Personal Safety business, which is a provider of respiratory and hearing protection solutions that help improve the safety and security of workers, the companies stated.
Additionally, demand for safety equipment is growing quickly, especially in emerging markets as worker-protection regulations increase and multinational companies grown, Bloomberg noted.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates 3M CO as a Buy with a ratings score of A-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate 3M CO (MMM) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and growth in earnings per share. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow."

Considerable research has been conducted on the Canadian North over the past few decades. This research has focused on resource development (mining and forestry), on small resource towns, and on mega-projects such as the James Bay Hydro Project. To date, little work has been produced on the relationship between military activity in the north and the landscapes, communities and people affected by such activity. Only in the past decade have historians and geographers, like P. Whitney Lackenbauer and Matthew Farish, opened the door to a broader discussion about how military operations and settlements/bases have affected northern people and northern physical environments.[1]
During the early years of the Cold War, three massive radar lines were constructed across the north: the Distant Early Warning (DEW) line, the Mid-Canada line, and the Pinetree line. The goal of the radar lines was to monitor Soviet plane traffic across the Arctic in order to intercept planes, armed with atomic weapons, which were intended (presumably) to destroy North American cities. Most of the research on radar lines has focused on the DEW line and the high Arctic. Little research has been conducted on the Mid-Canada and Pinetree radar lines.
My research examines the impact of the Cold War on the near north, with the community of Moosonee, Ontario as a case study. Moosonee is a small northern Cree community located on the Moose River, ten kilometers south of James Bay. It was a Mid-Canada Line shipping center in the mid-1950's and it became the site for a Pinetree radar base in 1961.
My PhD research asks the question "What was the Impact of the Cold War on the community of Moosonee?" The term 'impact' refers to the consequences for the community of Moosonee of hosting a radar base. Impact(s) will be assessed at two levels: 'Personal' and 'Community' as follows:[2]
- "The Personal experience": This aspect will examine personal relationships and everyday life for women and men who lived in Moosonee and on the radar base, and
- "The Community experience": This involves an assessment of how the construction of a radar base (adjacent to an existing town) changed the land uses, physical infrastructure, and landscape of the Moosonee area.
Kerry Abel links the concepts of personal and community experiences in her recent writing on Northeastern Ontario. She states that "The experience and symbolism of community continue(s) to play a major role in the human experience."[3] My thesis research will attempt to make the same type of linkages by studying Moosonee.
The town site of Moosonee experienced little development until the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway (T. & N. O.) connected the town to Cochrane in 1932. By the mid 1950's Moosonee had become a shipping centre for more northerly Mid-Canada radar base sites, like Fort Albany and Winisk. Several Mid-Canada Line (MCL) articles referred to Moosonee as a Cold War construction and shipping center. For example, in the 1958 Roundel, Flying Officer S. G. French described the establishment of "marshalling areas at ends-of-steel ". In Ontario, this meant Moosonee as the furthest north railway line or "end-of-steel". French then described how Moosonee, became "a new main base of operations." He emphasized the role of Moosonee as a central operations base by noting that when work was completed much further north, helicopters returned to Moosonee. French also described winter tractor train operations. He wrote that "During the winter of 1955-56 about 11,000 tons of materials were moved …by tractor train. At their peak, these trains running out of Gillam, Manitoba and Moosonee, Ontario used over 400 sleds and over 40 heavy tractors."[4] Clearly Moosonee was part of Cold War activities long before it hosted a radar base.
By 1961, Moosonee had its own military base–a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Pinetree radar base known as 'Sasakipao'. This base, constructed only a mile or so from downtown Moosonee, operated from 1961 to 1975 (see "Air Photo of Moosonee Pinetree Radar Base, 1962"). It became the home for 150 RCAF officers and airmen, their spouses and their dependent children. It also became the workplace for approximately 60 civilian employees from Moosonee.
Thesis research conducted to date suggests that the Cold War affected the people and the community of Moosonee in both positive and negative ways. Cold War military planners had a singular and immediate goal: to build and occupy defensive military sites in the north. My initial archival work suggests that the social and physical (landscape) impacts of such development were irrelevant to the military planners, and that local people almost seem to have been 'invisible'. However, interviews of current and former residents of Moosonee give quite a different picture of human interaction. Interviewees state that there was a lot of interaction between radar base and town residents. Almost everyone who has been interviewed so far has indicated that they not only worked at the radar base, but that they joined the mess clubs and took part in all of the base recreational activities—from curling and bowling to dances and carnivals. The common refrain is that people developed specific life-long careers, and recreational interests, because of their time at the radar base.
My initial research suggests that Cold War community development in Moosonee followed some of the "boom and bust" stages observed by land use planners in northern resource towns. That is; the initial 'boom' created construction jobs and the 'bust' phase — closure of the radar base — meant a loss of jobs and an immediate need to deal with abandoned infrastructure. However, the way that Moosonee residents handled the 'bust' phase was impressive. Two examples, which deal with housing and education, demonstrate this. As soon as the base closed, the town pulled every second home from the crowded radar base subdivision and sold these homes to both local people and to residents of Moose Factory Island (across the river from Moosonee). At the same time, the town immediately converted radar base facilities, from the Officer's Mess to the Recreation and Maintenance Buildings, into a brand new high school. The creation of a high school meant the end of an era. It meant that local students no longer had to travel south by train to Sudbury, North Bay, or Timmins for five long 'away from home' years. Finally, the new high school was also available to students in Moose Factory Island who lived, during the school week, in the renovated radar base barracks. The creation of housing and the new school demonstrate how a local community exercised agency in dealing with Cold War change. Thesis research will continue to examine the changes that Moosonee experienced—both the personal and the community/infrastructure changes– and the related impacts.

You didn't expect this. I don't care who you are, I don't care what your allegiance is, you didn't expect John Daly to be in the lead in the PGA Championship.
It's not that Daly isn't a good golfer. Even after all the sordid sagas, the multiple ex-wives, the life-lived-like-a-country-song, the guy remains one of the finest golfers on the planet. It's just that with Daly, the story always overwhelms the game.
On Thursday, though, we saw a different John Daly. A John Daly who harkened back to the kid out of nowhere who won this event in 1991. As befits Daly, his scorecard was as checkered as his pants, with four birdies, two bogeys and a stunning eagle on 11 that briefly put him into a tie for the lead. He would finish his day at 4-under, two strokes back of clubhouse leader Carl Pettersson.
"When I get on a run, six, seven, eight weeks in a row, I feel like I have a better chance at playing well," Daly said afterward. "It's starting to pay off a little bit, but that's if you're making cuts. I always believe when you're making cuts, it gives you a chance to get some confidence in your game. So I'm getting a lot of confidence, but I'm just hitting the ball solid."
There's plenty of time left in this tournament, but barring a total meltdown, Daly will be around for the weekend. And that's good news; think what you want about the guy, but he brings something to the game of golf that no one else in the field even touches. And Daly knows exactly what that is.
"My golf game ... is up and down. So is my life," he said. "Everybody's life is up and down. It's how we battle to get through it, and I think people relate to that."

Bisi Alimi is a famous Nigerian gay activist. Bishop Oyedepo is a well-known Nigerian pastor whose sermons still cause controversies. Bisi Alimi insulted Bishop Oyedepo over his new sermon over tithes. Bisi Alimi is Bisi Alimi is an outspoken gay Nigerian who is an activist for gay rights. He has always been one to have controversial opinions when it comes to issues of religion as he has called out different pastors around Nigerian on things they say. These pastors include Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Prophet TB Joshua and Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.
Now, he has added Bishop Oyedepo to his list of victims. He took to Twitter to say that Bishop Oyedepo is practicing stupid pastoral marketing that keeps religious people in perpetual poverty. This was Bisi's reaction to a sermon the Bishop gave on issues of tithes and getting blessings from God. Bishop Oyedepo had said: "Everybody believes that God has an open heaven order of blessings for his people. But you see, it takes your tithing to qualify for it. So if you only know the promise and don't know the conditions, you will die frustrated."
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of sin, of poverty, of death, but what does it take to get there? It takes faith in the demands. People just believe the promise but you also need to believe the demands." It is believing the demands that entitles you to the fulfillment of the promise. There is no provision in the scriptures without a condition attached. Even salvation, as free as it is, you need to repent before you can be saved. There is nothing provided without conditions to meet." Do you agree with Bisi's opinion, are tithes really making Christians poorer?

SE: Ian Connole Inspires at TEDxMHK
Dr. Ian Connole, K-state's Director of Sport Psychology, speaks at TEDxMHK in Manhattan, Kansas.
Dr. Ian Connole vividly remembers one of his first opportunities in the sport psychology field. He was a graduate student at Cal State Fullerton and had just begun working with one of the local baseball teams. He walked into the team's practice one morning just in time to see the top player crank out four consecutive home runs. Connole was in awe. Then, the team's coach, leaned over and whispered, "This guy could really use your help."
Connole wondered how he, a former Division III basketball player whose, "last home run came in little league," could possibly help this talented baseball player.
That's the story Connole, K-State's Director of Sport Psychology, used to open his speech at Kansas State University's first-ever TED Talk. Chosen as one of TEDxMHK's eight community leaders to speak at the event, Connole used his 20-minute talk to help inspire his audience to "perform a little better, connect a little deeper, live more enjoyably and create a foundation in our lives from which excellence can be built."
The mission of these TED (technology, entertainment and design) Talks is to spread ideas by, according to their website, "welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world." TED believes in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. TEDxMHK's theme was "Fueling Human Existence," and from world travelers to professors with big ideas to K-State's Director of Sport Psychology, the event gave attendees the opportunity to learn more about the world surrounding them.
Using three mottos – separate who you are from what you do, be where your feet are and bring the best to the rest – Connole spent his time on stage helping his audience learn how to better their lives in the classroom, in the workforce and in their homes. (You can watch Connole's entire TEDxMHK Talk by clicking here.)
Connole used his experience working in sport to help get his point across. Going back to his opening story, Connole explained to the group that, though this baseball player was talented, there were mental blocks keeping him from experiencing the fullness of his potential, and that is where Connole was able to help.
"I've learned that excellence is not about perfection or invulnerability, but the willingness and courage to feel whatever you feel and still go for it," Connole said to the crowd. "To be able to face fear and yet to step up and say, 'These are my goals, and I'm going to go for it, and nothing is going to get in my way.'"
Connole used that logic to help get through to this baseball player and it, ultimately, helped the player enhance his performance on the field. By sharing the basis of his job working with student-athletes and helping them create a foundation for excellence, Connole was able to share pointers to those in attendance on how they can also strive for excellence in their lives.
"It was an amazing experience, it's not every day you have the opportunity to give a TED Talk in the first place, so from that standpoint, it was a bucket list type of thing for me," explained Connole after the talk. "It was really awesome to get the chance to do it. I wanted to go out there, have fun and do the best I could with it."
Connole came to K-State in January of 2014 and has since made a big impact on each of K-State's 16 athletic teams.
"Dr. Connole has been a great addition to the staff," said K-State women's golf head coach Kristi Knight. "Having someone who's totally behind sport performance and enhancement and who is here on a daily basis for the student-athletes, it's a huge addition. We do some team sessions with him, and many of the ladies work with him individually. Golf always gets labeled as a very mental sport, and it really is because there's so much time between shots and the most difficult opponent is yourself, so I think that's where someone like Ian comes in handy."
Connole earned his Ph.D. in Sport and Exercise Psychology from West Virginia University and also has a masters in Counseling from West Virginia as well as a masters in Sports Psychology/Performance Enhancement from Cal State Fullerton. A former student-athlete, Connole played basketball at Skidmore College, which is where he said he discovered his passion for sport psychology.
Before coming to Manhattan, he worked with Colgate University as a member of the college's Counseling and Psychological Services, while, prior to that, he helped coordinate Sport Psychology and Mental Training at Waynesburg University and the Nate Smith Basketball School.
"He's been huge," said K-State baseball pitcher Levi MaVorhis. "When I'd start on Fridays, I'd go with him and we would work on visualization. I'd tell him what type of outing I'd want to have and what I wanted to focus on, and he would go through that whole outing with me, run through certain scenarios. He's been a huge help, especially if you're going through a slump, you can go in and talk to him and he'll tell you what to focus on and what to work on."
Originally from Dixmont, Maine, he said his two years working K-State student-athletes and coaches has been an exciting experience so far.
"It's been incredibly rewarding for me," said Connole. "In my first two years here, I've learned so much. A big part of me coming here was being open to learn and understand the culture then figure out how the mental skill training fits within the culture that already exists."
Focusing on the values of family and a hard work ethic that K-State Athletics already holds dear, Connole spends his days working with K-State student-athletes and coaches in both team settings and individually. He said the best part of his job is seeing growth both in and out of competition in the student-athletes he works with on a daily basis.
"It's not about the results, it's about the growth and development. If we're growing and developing, the results will come," he explained. "So being able to see the mindset shifts and see the fruits of their labor at the same time, those are the constant gratifying things for me."
Along with the one-on-one work and team building activities he conducts, Connole has introduced Wildcat student-athletes to K-State Athletics' first-ever mental training lab.
Located in the new Vanier Family Football Complex, the lab is complete with an egg chair set up to help the student athletes with imagery, help them notice the difference between tension and relaxation and provide feedback on how their minds effects what's going on in their body.
"When a player is in a basketball game, they go from rushing down the court to having to calm themselves to be able to make a free throw – this helps them make those transitions," he explained.
Along with the egg chair, the room is home to a state-of-the-art vision reaction training board, which isolates and exercises the muscle groups that control your eyes, helping to increase the ability to see more by developing a wider peripheral ordinance and awareness. Once they meet with Connole, K-State student-athletes can take advantage of these resources on their own whenever they feel the need.
The technology found in the new mental training lab is the same technology the military uses to train its most elite leaders and soldiers studying at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
"Part of what I do here is based off of the way Center of Enhanced Performance is run at West Point," explained Connole. "They use similar methods at West Point, and it's based on the same model that we teach skills for performance in life. It's not about anything being wrong, rather we teach skills to enhance overall performance in athletics, academies and life."
During his time working with K-State, Connole has made a difference in the lives of student-athletes and coaches from every team at K-State.
And with his recent TEDxMHK Talk, he has made an impact on the Manhattan, Kansas, community as well.
"A big part of my mission is being able to share ideas, resources and the best practices with others to be able to help them become the best they can be," closed Connole. "I look at the core of what I'm doing, and that's serving others any way I can to help make an impact in their lives, that's where I want to spend my energy.
"I'm blessed to be able to do that in a place that's so receptive with student-athletes that are on the path towards wanting to be the best they can be. They're open to it and ready for it, and I'm happy to help."
