Who will lead us?
I'm about halfway through Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership by Joseph Jaworski.
flickr photo by Joelk75
I've written about his former partner Adam Kahane before.
The book is an unusual sort of business/leadership book in that it's organized like an autobiography and is about leadership as an inner path - a path of service rather than one of power and control.
Peter Senge writes in the introduction:
He suggests that the fundamental choice that enables true leadership in all situations (including, but not limited to, hierarchical leadership) is the choice to serve life. He suggests that in a deep sense, my capacity as a leader comes from my choice to allow life to unfold through me. This choice results in a type of leadership that we've known very rarely, or that we associate exclusively with extraordinary individuals like Gandhi or King. In fact, this domain of leadership is available to us all, and may indeed be crucial for our future.
Did you catch that? "This domain of leadership is available to us all."
...We search for special individuals with leadership potential, rather than developing the leadership potential in everyone. We are easily distracted by what this or that leader is doing, by the melodrama of people in power trying to maintain their power and others trying to wrest it from them. When things are going poorly, we blame the situation on incompetent leaders, thereby avoiding any personal responsibility. When things become desperate, we can easily find ourselves waiting for a great leader to rescue us. Through all of this, we totally miss the bigger question: "What are we, collectively, able to create?"
Do we really need a leader to come along to lead us? What if we accept ourselves as leaders and let life unfold through us? What if we each embrace our own higher purpose instead of running from it or throwing up obstacles?
On a related note, I recently finished Poke the Box by Seth Godin – a manifesto about starting, where he writes:
As soon as we willingly and blindly accept what's given, we lose all power. Only by poking, testing, modifying, and understanding can we truly own anything, truly exert our influence.
And here's the best advice he could possibly have given:
Imagine that the world had no middlemen, no publishers, no bosses, no HR folks, no one telling you what you couldn't do.
If you lived in that world, what would you do?
Go. Do that.
Amen to that.

BATH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -The Bath Fire Department was called to a home at 1270 High Street shortly after 4:00 PM Saturday.
The homeowner who called fire crews said his alarm was going off and he could smell smoke.
Firefighters figured out that the fire was in the walls around a chimney. The homeowner had been operating a fire in a wood stove in the morning, but had since extinguished it.
Crews had to tear out the walls around the chimney in order to chase down the source of the fire.
No one was injured, but the fire, which lasted a couple hours, left the home uninhabitable.
A single family lives at the home, they're staying with family in town.
Crews from West Bath and Brunswick helped the Bath Fire Department.

It is a common experience in the sea in low latitudes that insolation warms the upper layers, and that below a depth of about 100 meters there is usually a rapid fall in temperature. This lower layer of water with rapidly increasing density is known as the thermocline or discontinuity layer. The presence Of otherwise of a thermocline has far reaching effects on the organic produce. tion and the distribution of planktonic organisms.

Democrats were in such a hurry to pass their latest giveaway to the public employees unions—$26 billion in "emergency aid" to the states—that they forgot to name the bill allocating the new stimulus funds.

[Source_Name: Short_Name='SPACE SHUTTLES']
Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellites (MAPS) Space Radar Laboratory - 1 (SRL1) Carbon Monoxide Second by Second dataEntry ID: MAPS_SRL1_COSEC_HDF
Abstract: MAPS Overview The MAPS experiment measures the global distribution of carbon monoxide (CO) mixing ratios in the free troposphere. Because of MAPS' previous flights on board the Space Shuttle, Earth system scientists now know that carbon monoxide concentrations in the troposphere are highly variable around the planet, and that widespread burning in the South American Amazon Basin and southern ... cerrados, the African savannahs, and the Australian grasslands and ranches are major sources of carbon monoxide in the southern hemisphere and tropical troposphere.
The 1994 flights of the MAPS experiment provided CO measurements that show seasonal changes in CO emissions, sources, transports, and chemistry.
The MAPS instrument is based on a technique called gas filter radiometry. Thermal energy from the Earth passes through the atmosphere and enters the viewport of the downlooking MAPS instrument. Carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere produce unique absorption lines in the transmitted energy. The energy which enters the MAPS instrument is split into three beams. One beam passes through a cell containing CO and falls onto a detector. This CO gas cell acts as a filter for the effects of CO present in the middle troposphere. A second beam falls directly onto a detector without passing through any gas filter. The difference in the voltage of the signals from these two detectors can be used to determine the amount of CO present in the atmosphere at an altitude of 7-8 km. During the dedicated Earth-Observing Space Shuttle mission in 1994, MAPS measured the distribution of carbon monoxide in the middle troposphere to evaluate CO sources and chemistry, and to evaluate the seasonal and interannual variation of this key atmospheric trace gas. Interpretation of these measurements will help us to better understand the atmosphere and the consequences that human activities initiate in global climate change. A third beam of the incident energy passes through a cell containing N2O and falls onto a detector. This N2O gas cell acts as a filter for the effects of N2O present in the atmosphere. The global distribution of N2O is well known, so the N2O signal can be used to detect the presence of clouds in the field of view and to correct the simultaneous CO measurement for systematic errors in the data.
SRL-1 Mission Goals
The MAPS SRL-1 mission took place during Northern Hemisphere Spring when global biomass burning does not typically occur. Some burning may occur for the purpose of clearing the damaged and felled trees in the forests of North America after the rather severe winter. The goals of the MAPS SRL-1 mission are to provide a validated, near-global atlas of the distribution of tropospheric Carbon Monoxide during the mission, and to assess the health status of the MAPS instrument as the mission progresses.
SL1 Summary
High concentrations of carbon monoxide over the Northern Hemisphere can be seen in measurements made by the Measurement of Air Pollution from Space (MAPS) instrument. These April 1994 measurements, made from the Space Shuttle Endeavour (STS-59), show large sources of air pollution in the lower atmosphere (2 to 10 miles above the surface) over the industrialized Northern Hemisphere.
The data that are available from MAPS SRL1 include a 5 by 5 degree gridded box (MAPS_SRL1_5X5_HDF) and a second by second data product (MAPS_SRL1_COSEC_HDF). These data sets are available from the Langley DAAC.

The Willis Clan Moves on to Next Round of America's Got Talent
The Willis Clan is headed to Radio City Music Hall. The family band made it through the latest round of NBC's America's Got Talent Wednesday night, receiving word that they will be among the acts to perform at Radio City Music Hall in the next round.
Members of The Willis Clan do more than sing, including songwriting, dancing, wrestling and horseback riding. Almost everything the family is involved in links back to their Irish roots. Parents Brenda and Toby homeschool and coach their 12 children, ranging in ages from 3 to 21. They auditioned for America's Got Talent with an Appalachian-inspired rendition of The Sound of Music's "My Favorite Things." Watch their audition >>
The Willis Clan already has two albums, Roots and Boots, and they are in the middle of producing their third album, Heaven. The Clan will also perform at the Grand Ole Opry on August 23 and October 21.

Armageddon Online needs your support. A donation goes a long way on an independent site like this, and with continued efforts we can keep growing.
He told us, "We have been attacked and we are under attack 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Our military systems are probed in excess of hundreds of thousands of times per hour. Our private industry can claim similar statistics."
Petraglia suggests, "preparing for an actual worst case scenario is similar to the preparations one would make for extended period without adequate food and water supplies and access to emergency services."
Threat Assessment: Part of being prepared for any type of threat, means knowing exactly how that threat will affect you during a time of crisis. By performing a realistic threat assessment, you can get a better idea of what actions you need to take during a real life cyber-attack situation.
Emergency Communication: When the power lines go down and the internet stops working, there is one line of communication that will still be alive and well: Ham Radio! Having a good Multiband Ham Radio will allow you to send and receive critical emergency information during a disaster. It's also a great way to find alternative news sources from around the world.
Always have Cash on Hand: If a rogue nation were to target our country for attack, one of the first targets would likely be our power grids and or our financial systems. In either scenario, an attack would likely make electronic commerce almost impossible. During a full scale cyber war, cash will play a major role in how people buy and sell during the initial stages of the crisis.
Start Stockpiling Preparedness Supplies: The first thing you need to do, is make sure you have your essential needs covered. The essentials include water, shelter, food and personal security. At a minimum, you should always have at least a week's worth of emergency supplies on hand at all times. Once you have that covered, you should then set a goal to stockpile enough for 3, 6 and then 12 months.
Know what you're preparing for, and know what obstacles you'll be up against: When planning for any type of disaster scenario, including a cyber-attack, there's really only one thing that we can be sure of;Survival will be a bigger challenge than you ever believed possible. While you can't be ready for everything, there are some things that you may want to consider when planning for any type of survival situation.

Tennis News Wire -
Roger Federer has joined the campaign to use faster courts in top flight tennis as the feeling grows that slower surfaces are not only aiding the defensive players but also causing rallies to last longer, meaning more marathon encounters and consequently a greater injury risk.
Federer maintains attacking play doesnt always reap the benefits it deserves even on hard courts and even grass, because they're now designed to be slower than they used to be.
"It's an easy fix, said Federer after having to be content with finalists spot in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Just make quicker courts, then it's hard to defend. Having an attacking style is more important. It's only on this type of slow courts that you can defend the way we are all doing right now."
Federer maintained having more tournaments played on faster surfaces could make it easier for other players to challenge the leading quartet of himself, Novak Djokovic, the currently injured Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray who monopolized this years Grand Slam titles.
I think some variety would be nice, some really slow stuff and then some really fast stuff, instead of trying to make everything sort of the same," said Federer. "You sort of protect the top guys really by doing that because you have the best possible chance to have them in the semis at this point, I think. But should that be the goal? I'm not sure.
Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash started the campaign before the start of the event at the London 02 Arena in his column for the Sunday Times newspaper.
Addressing the subject of slower surfaces, Cash said: It is taking a heavy toll. I dont want to see more and more players getting exhausted and injured, and I also dont want to see everyone playing the same sort of game.
Since Wimbledon, the calendar has pretty much decreed play has been exclusively on hard court, outdoors and more recently indoors. The slow abrasive court surface contributes to more extended rallies and therefore longer matches.
Just the other week, Djokovic and Murray contested a best of three sets final in Shanghai that lasted three and a half hours. Back in my day, we hardly ever went beyond two. And of course its almost routine now for best-of-five sets encounter on hard courts in Grand Slam to stretch beyond the five hours mark. Remember this years Australian and US Open finals.
Cash isnt suggesting a return to the super-fast carpet surfaces employed a couple of decades ago but wonders why tournament directors instruct hard courts to be laid with added abrasive sand in the top acrylic layer, designed to slow down the ball.
He said: Such a change would reward the attacking player who goes to the net and return that most necessary element to the sport of tennis: variety.

Floor Updates
Reid, McConnell
Opening Remarks
Apr 17 2012
Senator Reid: (10:03 AM)
Senator McConnell: (10:09 AM)
- Today --
- The Senate will proceed to a period of Morning Business until 11:00 AM, with Senators permitted to speak up to 10 minutes each. The time will be equally divided, with the Republicans controlling the first half and the Majority controlling the second half.
- Following Morning Business, the Senate will resume consideration of the Motion to Proceed to S. 1789, the Postal Reform bill, for up to 10 minutes of debate, equally divided.
- Circa 11:10 AM, the Senate will conduct a ROLL CALL VOTE on the Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion to Proceed to S. 1789, the Postal Reform bill.
- At 12:30 PM, the Senate will recess until 2:15 PM for the weekly caucus lunches.
- Spoke on the Buffett Rule.
- SUMMARY "Our legislation would have protected 99% of small business owners and maintained deductions for charitable giving. And it would have been a small but meaningful step to reduce our deficit at a time when every penny in this case every billion counts. Doesn't seem radical to see me some request Warren Buffett who made almost $63 million in 2010 to pay a higher tax rate than his secretary. You can remember when he came and spoke to a group of democrats and he carried around his tax returns for the last several years. He's the one who told us how much he made in 2010 and lamented the fact that he was paying the tax rate that was. Well, it doesn't seem radical to me, it didn't seem radical to Ronald Reagan, and it doesn't seem radical to three quarters of the American people. The wealthiest Americans take home a greater percentage of the nation's income than any time in nearly a century yet they enjoy the lowest tax rate in more than five decades. The lowest tax rate. So it's no surprise Americans believe millionaires should shoulder their fair share. Even two-thirds of millionaires and a majority of Republicans around the country agree it's time to fix the system rigged to favor the richest of the rich. Republicans in congress aren't the only ones that are on board on this issue. If you need evident that millionaires and billionaires can afford to contribute a little more, consider this fact, this simple fact: last year there were 7,000 people who made more than a million dollars last year but didn't pay a single penny of federal income tax. Not a penny. Thanks to Republicans, these lucky millionaires can keep gaming the system while middle-class workers keep picking up the tab."
Senator McConnell: (10:09 AM)
- Spoke on the Buffett Rule.
- SUMMARY "President Obama only seems to care about Warren Buffett's opinion if it polls well. The President's goal isn't to do something about the problem, it's to make people think he's doing something about the problem until the next crisis comes along. And that's the larger problem. That we've got a President more concerned about looking like he's doing something than in actually doing what's needed to tackle the challenges we face. We've got a President who told us he was a different kind of politician doing is same old things and using the same old talking points politicians in Washington have been peddling for literally years. Weren't these kinds of gimmicks and stale talking points precisely the kind of thing President Obama campaigned against four years ago? I thought he was offering something new. Something different. I think the Associated Press summed up the President's latest proposal pretty well this morning. The White House plan which Obama was to unveil Tuesday the AP said is more likely to draw sharp election-year distinctions with republicans than to have an immediate effect on prices at the pump. AP pretty well summed it up. They said it's more about drawing a distinction. Look, we don't need new distinctions. We need solutions. Americans need lawmakers who are more concerned about with facing up to the problems we face than getting re-elected. They need a President who thinks about solving a problem, a president who thinks solving a problem involves more than giving a speech about it and pointing the finger at whatever doesn't poll well that particular day. As if said yesterday, the president seems to have forgotten why he was elected in the first place. He seems to have forgotten his own campaign rhetoric. That he was going to be different, that he would bridge differences, that he would bring people together. The reality couldn't be more different. Or more disappointing. The sad truth is, it's all politics, all the time in this White House They're out of ideas, they've got nothing new to offer. Today's announcement is all the proof you need of that."

Interview with Catherine Federici, ISSON Eyewear
By Tim Cox in New Fashion on Tuesday 15 December 2009
We checked in with Catherine Federici, one of the creative forces behind Australian sunglasses company, ISSON Eyewear, and asked her what lead to her take her industrial design training and apply it to sunglasses design: 'I worked in Optometry practices since I was fourteen. It just seemed like the better option to working the cashier at McDonald's or Woolies. By the time I was at University, I was working at George Skoufis Optometrist in Paddington, renowned for quirky, unusual, unique frames and sunglasses and my passion for eye-wear design really evolved there. Coming from an I.D background, it seemed that the eyewear designer's artisan approach to mass production was unique. I found this to be inspiring and a creative challenge I wanted to take on'.

Skinny Blonde beer's new ink technology
By Tim Cox in New Trends on Thursday 11 June 2009
It's a hot summer's day and you're cracking open your second beer. Life is good. But there's something missing, right? Not anymore. Each bottle of the new Australian-brewed low carb beer, Skinny Blonde, features the soon to be iconic Daisy Blonde on the label, who — in a clever twist — reveals more and more of herself as the beer gets drunk. Or the drinker does. Whichever comes first. This cool initiative is the result of innovative heat sensitive ink technology which sees Daisy's Bikini top on the beer bottle label disappear with each sip until she reveals all. Seriously! Now, boys. Slow down. Drink responsibly. The beer is brewed by the Sydney-based Brothers Ink, comprised of three friends, including Hamish from Aussie rockers, The Vines. Yup, if hypercolour shirts worked like this, we'd still be wearing them.

An Interpretation and Dissertation of the Story of The Wedding at Cana:
The Gospel of John, 2.1 - 10, November 13, 2000
On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." And Jesus said to her, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do what ever he tells you."
Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them. "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them. "Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast."
So they took it. When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him, "Every man servers the good wine first; and when men had drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
The symbology of this story is as follows:
The "Water": this is a symbol of the emotions, human nature, ever fluid, ever changing. It is also the symbol of creation - the fish being the symbol of humanity existing within the essence of God, the sea of the Spirit.
The "Wine": this is the symbol of life, and of the teachings on life.
The "Poor wine": the teachings of the prophets of old.
The "Good wine": Christ's teachings
The "Wedding or Marriage Feast": this is the symbol of a blending, the blending of the people with the Christ within, the Hope and the Glory, their souls (the Christ principle).
"Christ": the giver of new life, the new wine, the physical manifestation of the second aspect of God, the embodiment of the Love principle.
"Mary": ever the symbol of the earth, of nourishment, fertility and femininity.(The earth is feminine: Mother Nature, Mother Earth, that from which all things spring - our season of new growth and rejuvenation.)
It should be understood that the parables, if understood correctly, all have the same underlying meaning or message. This one is no different, for it depicts human growth and human progress; Christ's concern. We must also realize that his words, though possibly experiencing some change through the millennia, will always have a deeper meaning than the superficial or that given by those who wear the canonical blinders or that of the fundamentalists.
Also, parables are usually put into some familiar local setting such as fishing, farming or weddings. This parable is about a wedding. Some of the stories in the parables actually happened and some of them did not. As far as the teachings within the parable are concerned, it does not matter if the occurrence depicted in the parable actually occurred or not.
The parables are meant to teach, if not consciously then subliminally with the use of symbolic wording that the human sub-consciousness understands. To understand this concept more thoroughly, read the book "Experiencing Erickson". A presentation of a psychiatrist's work. Parables are not meant (nor is the Bible) to be historical, but rather to bring to those who hear the words a means to enlightenment.
This parable is indicative of the affect that the Christ and his teachings will have on humanity. A humanity that had previously been practicing the teachings of the "poor wine", the then current teachings given by teaches, sages and profits of olden times.
Notice the term used in the beginning of the parable, "When the wine failed", it says not "When the wine ran out", but failed. The wine given first at a marriage, an actual marriage of two people, was the best of the wines to be served, later the poorer wine was served. In this marriage, symbolizing the marriage or blending of humanity with the spirit through the acceptance and practice of the available teachings shows that wines (both wines of the feast) were, to Christ, unacceptable. Unacceptable not necessarily because they (the teachings) were not correct for humanity up to this time, but with His coming, they were unacceptable.
Throughout history, each teaching, when given is in the line of an experiment to see how humanity will respond. If humanity does not respond correctly (or as hoped) then the people given that teaching "failed" to properly or successfully incorporate the teaching into their social structure. And, through long ages (as was the case of the Jewish people and pointed out so frequently by Christ) the original teachings were changed, added to, or became, in some way, distorted. This is usually accomplished by people of positions of power for their personal benefit and to gain an advantage over the masses which accomplishes the former. This is nothing new. In recent psychiatric teachings this is now recognized as the "emotional plague" (another fascinating topic, Character Analysis by Reich).
Mary said to Christ, "They have no wine". It is fitting that it was Mary that made this observation. She being the symbol of the nourisher or the earth, which saw humanity struggling with the "poor wine", which now, even that had run out (failed). The people were really without true spiritual guidance. We also have the relationship of the Mother to the Son; the Mother requiring the help of divinity for the spiritual nourishment and development of her humanity and the Son doing the wishes of the mother through the will of the Father and providing that which is needed, the "good wine".
The marriage ceremony (leading up to the marriage, to the joining itself) symbolizes the long history, evolution and development of humanity. The marriage here, being the final assimilation or perfection of the human race which is also symbolized by the "Marriage song of the heavens" which will sound forth at that time. We must also understand the time element present, yet hidden, in some of the parables. The time frame of this parable, like the Prodigal Son parable, extends over a vast period of time, through long ages and reflects the development of humanity. There are many similarities in these two parables, which, in many ways, are the same.
Following the "failure" of the ceremonial wine, Mary said to Jesus, "They have no wine". This is not a request on her part, but a statement by the nourisher of her realization, at this period in the evolution of humanity, of the lack of direction and of ongoing spiritual guidance. It is no coincidence, viewing the history of the race and its current problems, that Christ was now present to provide that needed, that indicated here as the "good wine". For there is never a conflict between the creator and that created. The realization of a need and the fulfilling of that need: "Your Father (who is in heaven) already knows that you need." There is implied in that statement not only a realization/knowledge of what is needed but also the providing of that which satisfies the need. It should be understood that the word "need" is used here and not what some would like it to be, that is, the word "want." This statement exemplifies the cooperation that ever exists between the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus' response to Mary's statement is of interest and conforms perfectly to the pattern and flow the parable, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My time has not yet come." What she has to do with him involves their relationship and the mutual cooperative duties on the part of two aspects of divinity. These involve the evolution and growth of humanity and these words are not a dissertation between a mother and her biological son. He is making the statement, "What is your relationship to me, what would you have me do within our relationship?" The answer, of course, is in her statement to him, "They have no wine." Beautifully portraying the understanding between them and their commitment to each other and to human evolution, which, by the way, is the continuation of the original creative process.
[Just a note on the word 'O' which means to directly address or to invoke. It would possibly be that the wording may be out of order, that is, she approaches him, he recognizes her and her approach and he says, "O woman, what have you to do with me?" and she answers, "They have no wine." Knowing her implication, his response would then be, "My time has not yet come."]
The second part of his response is, "My time has not yet come". If we look at the preceding explanation of the first part of his response, we will be more easily able to explain the second part. Seeing the marriage ceremony as a long period of time culminating in the time of Christ (the actual marriage has not yet taken place and will not for a very long time to come) and with the understanding of Mary's statement "They have no wine." we will see that "his time" at that juncture in time had come! This is the basis of our belief in the Christ and his ministry. His time, his ministry, although not beginning at the time of the wedding ceremony as one would interpret it literally, but rather, in a broader sense, began when, in time, the need could no longer be denied. In this broader sense then his ministry did begin with Mary's invocation.
Jesus then said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. This is the bringing of the power of spirit of God, of divinity into closer proximity to the earth, making it, through the ministry of Christ, more accessible to humanity.
There is a double symbolism in the water. The first symbolism of the water being changed to wine is the expectation (hope) that the emotional/spiritual nature of humanity would accept the "good wine" (Christ's teachings) and through the affect that the "good wine" has on humanity his teachings would be followed. (The sowing of the seeds on fertile soil - that of another parable)
The second is that water (which is colorless, odorless and tasteless) symbolizes that Christ started with (or came from) that which is pure and uncontaminated, the spirit of God, the Father from whence he came. The "six jars" symbolizing his entrance into that which is of the earth. The number six indicates that which is not yet pure. We have then in the symbology of the water and the jars, the coming of the Christ through the Spirit of God to his incarnation on earth - "Through the mystery of the blending of this water and wine, may we come to share in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share in our humanity." The water being the divinity/spirit, Christ the wine and the jars the yet imperfect earth.
Another aspect of this writing is that spoken by the steward, "Every man servers the good wine first; and when men had drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now." After the first wine was served they were then served (unbeknownst to them) the inferior wine. This symbolizes that mentioned above about the original teachings being the first wine served and being changed through time and for the benefit of those in power to the "poor wine": the deceit of the masses. A teaching that is no longer tenable and one that needs replacing. Thus Christ's appearance.
The "poor wine", as indicated above, symbolizes the Jewish teachings or religious practices at that time. Christ's teachings are symbolized by the "good wine" symbol. Notice that Christ did not change the "poor wine" into "good wine", but rather water into the "good wine". The "poor wine" is too contaminated and no longer, from Christ's point of view, useful.
The question now to be asked, is the good wine that Christ gave us still "good wine" or have we allowed it, as happen before, to be changed into "poor wine". Had he expectations of this changing, that is, in his declared return, will he have to again bring to us a "new wine". My son, when he was ten years, old wrote the following:
"When Christ came the first time he gave us a map to follow,
When he returns he will show us that we have been reading the map upside down."
There are other symbols that can be expounded upon in the parable: the Bride and the Bridegroom, their relationship to Christ and Mary and the meaning of the words Cana and Galilee. Who is the Steward of the feast? Who were the servants that did Christ's bidding? What is the meaning of the size of the jars, the numbers given? All these things can be interpreted to further our understanding of the rich teachings of this parable.
As with all parables they can be interpreted in different ways, but regardless of how they are interpreted, they must express a truth, a fundamental teaching, a teaching that can be implemented and followed and in line with the teachings of Christ. This is my interpretation of this parable. There are other meanings embedded in the symbolisms. This writing expresses the basics of that which I believe to be the underlying essence of the parable.
The following is some additional information about the wedding that is not given in the gospel but from another source.
Soon after the return of the Master from the Jordan, and his dwelling by the sea, there was the wedding at Cana of Galilee.
The girl to be married was a relative of those close to the mother of Jesus, who prepared the wedding feast, as was the custom in that period. She, the bride, was a daughter of the cousin of Mary, a daughter of a younger sister of Elizabeth, whose name was also Mary. She was the one spoken of as "the other Mary," and not as some have supposed.
Mary, "the other Mary," was among the household of Zebedee as an aid to Zebedee's wife and James and John and their sister Naomi, the younger of Zebedee's children, were in their early years Mary's charges or cares. John, the younger of the family as well as the younger of those chosen by the Master, that one called "the beloved," was an especial favorite of Mary.
The groom, in the name of Roael, was among the sons of Zebedee, being an older brother of James and John, who later became the close friends and closer followers of Jesus.
The families of Mary were present, as well as those of the Groom. The Master, returning with those who were hangers-on, naturally sought to speak with his mother. Learning of this happening, he too, with his followers, was bid to remain at the feast.
The customs required that there be a feast which was composed of the roasted lamb with the herbs; the breads that had been prepared in the special ways which were the custom and tradition of those who followed close to the faith of Moses' law, Moses' custom, Moses' ordinances.
Much wine was part of the custom. The day was what ye would call June third, and there were plenty of flowers and things of the field, yet only a part of those things were needed. For the custom called for more of the meats prepared with certain herbs, and wines.
The day had been fine; the evening was fair; the moon was full. This, then, brought the activities with the imbibing more and more of wine, more hilarity, and the dance-which was in the form of the circles that were a part of the customs of that land.
With those activities as indicated, the wine ran low. Remember, the sons of Zebedee were of the upper class, as would be termed, not the poorer ones. Thence the reason why Mary served or prepared for her relative at the feast.
From those happenings that had been a portion of her experience upon their return from Egypt---as to how the increase had come in the food, when they had been turned aside as they journeyed back towards the Promised Land--Mary felt, knew, was convinced within herself that here again there might be such an experience. With her son returning as a man starting upon his mission.
For what was the pronouncement to the mother when Gabriel spoke to her? What was the happening with Elizabeth when the mother spoke to her? This might be called a first period of test. For had he not, just ten days ago, sent Satan away, and received his ministry from the angel? This had come to be know as hearsay.
Hence there was the natural questioning of the "mother-love' for his purposes. For this son, strange in many ways, had chosen, by dwelling in the wilderness for the forty days and then returning to the lowly people, the fishermen about this country, a way that seemed strange for one who had mastered the teachings of the East. Therefore a question was implied when Mary told Jesus "They have no wine."
And though he said, "My time is not yet come," yet Jesus gave the commands whereby this miracle came to pass, when the water was turned into wine. Or, as expressed, caused the wine to blush--water saw its master, blushed and became wine by activity. Remember, only when it was poured out would it become wine. Had it remained still, no wine would have filled those conditions. (He said to them. "Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.")

Google is slowly moving beyond typing as an input method, along with the whole industry, but it's a slow process. The most recent developments for Google are the speech input capabilities built into Chrome which are now supported on more and more Google sites.
The latest to join the list is Google Maps, which can now receive searches via voice. The process is identical with searching for something using voice on the main site and still only works with Chrome. You also need to be in the US and it only works for the English language version.
"Without using your keyboard, you can now talk into Google Maps to look for places and get directions. If you're using a Chrome web browser in the U.S. (English only for now), simply click the microphone icon and speak into your computer," Jed Burgess, software engineer at Google, announced.
While voice input may not be as relevant on the desktop as it is on mobile devices or other devices that don't have a typical keyboard, it's a good addition.
If you're using Google Chrome, just click on the small microphone icon that shows up in the search box on Google Maps now. If everything is set up and works properly, you will see a pop up notifying you to "speak now."
"Using voice search can make it easier to find hard-to-spell places (like Poughkeepsie or Liechtenstein) or simply get directions without typing (for example, say 'Directions from Los Angeles to San Francisco')," Burgess explains.
The new voice search feature works for the 3D Earth layer in Google Maps as well, provided your browser and operating system is supported, so you can enjoy the world in 3D using only your voice.
"Or if you're interested in exploring the world through the Earth layer (using the plugin), you can just say where you want to go and fly over to that location directly within your browser!," Google added.

WINE TALK; They Make The Champagne Of Champagnes
By Frank J. Prial
Published: January 28, 2004
REIMS, France— ''I WOULD like to see people drinking Krug at picnics,'' said Rémi Krug, the man who makes Krug Champagne. ''The wine is too revered, overworshiped. How often have I heard someone say: 'I've had a bottle of Krug for years. I'm saving it for something special'?''
We were sitting in an austere reception room at the Krug winery here one January day, Rémi, 62, and his less voluble brother, Henri, 65, and before us on the table, like some precious icon, a bottle of Krug's 1990 Vintage, which is just now being released.
As a chill winter rain rattled the windows, Rémi Krug described a cricket match he attended in England not long ago when the players refreshed themselves between wickets with Krug 1961. ''I loved it,'' he said, ''and I'd love to see more of it. People enjoying Krug, not just praising it.''
Yes, yes, of course. But Mr. Krug is a romantic. His least expensive Champagne, at something like $100 a bottle, is more costly than the top of the line at other houses. Krug at a picnic? Why not caviar at a Knicks game or pheasant for breakfast? Occasional reverence is a small price to pay for Krug's extraordinary reputation, one the Krugs themselves have nurtured carefully for five generations.
I had long wondered about the Krug reputation. Was it justified? The wines are magnificent, but there are other great Champagnes: Bollinger, Salon, Moët's Dom Perignon, Roederer's Cristal. Even so, critics with far more experience than I invariably place Krug ahead of all of them.
So I came out from Paris to learn the secret, and finally, in that studiously dull tasting room, listening to Rémi Krug talk about commitment and passion, I began to understand. For one thing, there before us and in our glasses was the 1990 Vintage, a Champagne made 13 years earlier, in the days of the elder George Bush, just now being released. There has to be something special about a business that makes a product, then waits 13 years before selling it. In fact, all Krug Champagnes are aged at least six years before they are released.
And then there is the 1988 Vintage, held back until well after the 1989 was released. ''We just didn't feel it was ready,'' Henri said, ''and the 1989 was.'' What's more, ''ready,'' in Krug parlance, means ready to sell.
A Krug Champagne can be drunk as soon as it is released, but Krug fanatics insist the wines should be held a decade or more before opening. Actually, part of Krug's vintage production is always held back for long aging in the cellars here in the Rue Coquebert. The wines are eventually sold to the most loyal of all Krug fans, known as Krugistes, who eagerly pay $350 or more a bottle for 30-year-old wines. Krug Champagnes seem to last forever. The family's own favorites include 1928 and 1959, both, they maintain, still lively and fresh. I can vouch for the 1959, a wonderful wine 10 years ago, but not yet for the 1928.
Despite all the talk of vintages, the star of the Krug cellars is the Grande Cuvée, a nonvintage blend, which may include wines from 20 crus and 10 vintages. It is a dry Champagne of great depth and power with immensely complex flavors. To one commentator the Grande Cuvée is as detailed and textured as a Gobelin tapestry. There is a nonvintage Rosé Brut and, for true Champagne connoisseurs, the legendary Clos du Mesnil, a vintage Champagne that first appeared in 1979. All Krug Champagne is fermented in oak barrels, a practice begun when the company was new. ''But we don't do it because our grandfather did,'' Rémi Krug said. ''We do it because wood brings out the Krug taste.''
Wine purists complain that Champagne, being invariably a blend of wines from all over the Champagne region, cannot possibly express the native soil from which it springs, as in Burgundy and, more and more, in California, too. There are exceptions in Champagne, and the Clos du Mesnil is one of them.
Its 4.5-acre walled vineyard in the center of the town of Mesnil-sur-Oger was once part of a Benedictine monastery. It is entirely planted in chardonnay, making it one of the most exclusive of all blanc-de-blancs Champagnes. Only a few thousand cases are made in years when a vintage is declared. Most of it is reserved for restaurants and special customers, and what is left usually sells for $250 to $300 a bottle.
Krug was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, who came from Mainz in what is now Germany and worked for other Champagne houses before setting up his own business. He was said to have exceptional skills as a blender and for many years made Champagne cuvées for other houses. Evidently, he passed his blending skills on to his descendants.
Neither Rémi nor Henri is an oenologist, but they alone are responsible for the Krug style. Remarkably, Krug has maintained its individuality even though it has been owned by others for almost 30 years. In the mid-1970's, the house was sold to Rémy-Martin, later Rémy-Cointreau, the Cognac producers. In 1999, Rémy-Cointreau sold its interest in Krug to LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, which also owns Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Mercier, Pommery and Canard-Duchêne.
The outside owners, whatever their influence on Krug's business practices, appear to have had no impact at all on the Krug style. The Krugs themselves rarely refer to their corporate masters, preferring to concentrate on their shareholders. The only visible sign of outside corporate policy may be Henri's mandatory retirement this year. He will continue to be a consultant while his son Olivier, who has joined the company, hones his own blending and tasting skills.
Henri's career marks a change from the days when his grandfather Joseph Krug II was running the company. He took over in 1910, but in 1915, as an artillery captain in World War I, he was severely wounded in the Ardennes and taken prisoner. After the war, his health was so poor that a nephew took over the business. He recovered, however, and remained head of the firm until 1959, when he was 90. Even then, he remained as a technical adviser until 1965, when he was 96. Paul Krug, the father of Henri and Rémi, continued to join final-blend tastings until his death at 85 in 1997.
Nor was Joseph II the only strong-willed Krug to head the firm. When he was taken prisoner, his wife took over. She made several vintages of Krug in her own style, which apparently leaned toward more red grapes than her husband liked. In fact, according to Patrick Forbes's ''Champagne: The Wine, the Land and the People'' (Gollancz, 1977), she used mostly red grapes because it was difficult to get white grapes from outlying vineyards in the middle of the war. She ran a dispensary for wounded soldiers in the Krug cellars and was gassed twice. In World War II, she hid downed British airmen here until the Gestapo caught on and jailed her.
Krug is a small Champagne house, producing less than 50,000 cases of wine a year. The Krugs would like to grow, ''particularly in America, which was the biggest Krug market before Prohibition -- but not at the expense of quality,'' Rémi Krug said.
''We could double our American sales,'' he added, ''but not at the expense of quality.''
''Often people say to us, 'I remember the first time I had Krug.' I never want to hear anyone say, 'Krug was not what I expected.' Our clients expect so much of us. We feel we have a commitment. This is very personal with us.''

Paneer Cheese and Its Health Benefits!
Paneer, also called Indian cheese, can be produced from the milk of sheep, goats, cows, and other mammals. It is prepared by heating raw whole milk and then adding food acid (usually lemon juice, vinegar, or citric acid) to it to separate the curds from the whey. When the milk coagulates, the curds are drained and the excess liquid is pressed out. It is similar to Ricotta cheese except that it is in block form. The resulting paneer is dipped in chilled water for 2–3 hours to give it a good texture and appearance.
From this point, the preparation of paneer in India diverges based on its use and regional variation. In most cuisines, the curds are wrapped in cloth and placed under a heavy weight, such as a stone slab, for 2 to 3 hours and then cut into cubes for use in curries. Pressing for a shorter time (approximately 20 minutes) results in a softer, fluffier cheese.
In Eastern Indian and Bangladeshi cuisines, the curds are beaten or kneaded by hand into a dough-like consistency. In these regions, it is distinguished from ponir, a salty semi-hard cheese with a sharper flavor and high salt content. Hard ponir is typically eaten in slices at teatime with biscuits or various types of bread, or deep-fried in a light batter. In the area surrounding the Gujarati city of Surat, surti paneer is made by draining the curds and ripening them in whey for 12 to 36 hours.
Health Benefits
Paneer, prepared by the most simple method, has many health benefits and it is good to know about them. Indian cheese is a treasure of good nutritional elements. It is easy to digest and can be used in a number of preparations. It is used in most Indian homes. Paneer can be used in sweets, savories, and in gravies of dishes too.
Indian cheese is a rich source of calcium. This helps in building strong teeth and bones. Paneer has the health benefit of helping to prevent osteoporosis, which is a curse of old age. Women who have attained menopause and men above the age of 65 should make it a rule to include such foods in their diet to get 25% of calcium through food.
Paneer eaten in moderation could help reduce weight. It is good to note that many people who wish to lose weight include Indian cheese in their daily diet.
Paneer also gives the health benefits of reducing the development of Insulin Resistance Syndrome. Hence, it is all about tackling the problem of insulin-dependent diabetes.
Including paneer in one's daily diet helps to give the health benefit of providing the protein required by the body for growth and renewal.
It is, however, also interesting to note that Indian culture believes that paneer cheese provides protection against cancer. Equally interesting is Indian culture states that this cheese helps prevent stomach disorders in people as they grow older. One thing that health practitioners can agree on is that paneer is a storehouse of calcium, which has the benefit of making bones stronger and helping prevent brittle bones as we age. Since it promotes strong bones, paneer also helps to prevent and reduce back and joint problems.
To conclude, anyone who has realized the health benefits of paneer should make it a rule to include this delightful cheese in their diet. The ways in which Indian cheese can be used are many and varied and most people would enjoy the taste and flavor also. We definitely enjoy cooking with paneer here at Mountain Valley View Farm, Inc. and the Getaway Studio.

Farm Fresh, Organic Eggs For Sale!
Mountain Valley View Farm is proud to announce that we are now selling farm fresh, organic eggs. We have 3 different types of chicken: Plymouth Barred Rock, Red Star, and the unusual Aracauna that lays beautiful blue and turquoise colored eggs. We also have 7 breeds of duck that lay eggs for us, and we are planning to add geese and turkeys to our flock soon. All of our birds are free range, hormone and antibiotic free, and fed a fresh grain feed that contains no soy or animal bi-products so that you can always be sure you are getting the best quality organic eggs.
Benefits of Organic Eggs
Organic eggs are extremely nutritious and contain significantly higher ratios of Vitamins A and E, Omega 3, and beta carotene than commercially produced eggs. They are also lower in cholesterol and saturated fat, making them an excellent choice for anyone concerned about their health. Furthermore, trace chemicals from pesticides and fertilizers have been detected in commercial eggs, and many of these chickens are given growth hormones and antibiotics to make them produce more. Chickens at Mountain Valley View Farm are fed an all-natural grain and allowed to roam and forage for food to supplement their diet. We do not use chemical pesticides or fertilizers on our farm, nor do we give our animals growth hormones or antibiotics, so you can be assured that our eggs will not have the toxins so common to commercially produced eggs. You will also love the taste of our eggs, as studies have shown that organic eggs from hens that eat a varied diet have a noticeably stronger and more pleasing flavor than commercial eggs.
Benefits of Duck & Goose Eggs
Duck eggs are significantly larger than chicken eggs, and goose eggs are larger still. One goose egg, when cooked, will be roughly equivalent to four chicken eggs, and both duck and goose eggs also have more yolk than the average chicken egg. Thicker shells lend themselves toward a longer shelf life (at least 6 weeks in the refrigerator), and goose eggshells are so thick that they are perfect for the delicate art of carving and embossing beautiful designs directly onto the shell. Both duck eggs and goose eggs are slightly higher in protein content, as well as containing greater concentrations of other nutrients like iron, potassium, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D.
Duck and goose eggs have their own unique flavors as well. Duck eggs have a noticeably stronger flavor than chicken eggs, and although not everyone may care for this taste when eaten plain, nearly everyone agrees that duck eggs are unparalleled when used for baking. Their richness produces moister, fluffier baked goods–absolutely incredible cakes and cookies. Goose eggs taste similar to chicken eggs, but seem a bit drier. They are also thicker than chicken eggs and have a custard-like yolk. They are also wonderful in cooking and are best in sweet confections and omelets.

Origins of the Milky Way (the candy bar)
The History of the Milky Way Candy Bar
The Mars chocolate company is known for successes such as M&Ms and Twix, but one of its first chocolate bars was the Milky Way. Ever since its release, the Milky Way bar has thrived in the candy world and created countless knock-offs—as well as a few spin-offs of its own. The history of the Milky Way bar proves how a simple formula can continue to work decades after it was first introduced.
- The Milky Way bar was invented in 1923 and counts as its inspiration the milk shakes that were popular at the time. The original Milky Way featured the same ingredients it still does today—a chocolate-nougat base topped with caramel, all surrounded by milk chocolate. The Milky Way has two varieties, the vanilla Milky Way and the chocolate Milky Way.
Forever Yours
- In 1936, the vanilla Milky Way was branded as the "Forever Yours" chocolate bar. In 1979 it was discontinued as the Milky Way continued to thrive. But customer demand led to the Forever Yours returning in 1989 with the Milky Way name back in the title. Today, the vanilla Milky Way is known as Milky Way Midnight.
- But the caramel, nougat and milk-chocolate mix known so well in the U.S. is unknown in Russia, Germany and Ireland, where the caramel is omitted. In addition, the countries feature a light- and dark-chocolate variety.
- The success of the Milky Way candy bar has led to several spin-offs. The Milky Way ice-cream bar replaces the nougat with a vanilla-ice-cream center, while Milky Way Crisp Rolls are exclusively available in the United Kingdom and feature wafer rolls with Milky Way ingredients. Australia is home to fruit-flavored Milky Way bars, including strawberry and banana.
- Throughout its 80-plus-year history, the Milky Way bar has employed a long variety of ad slogans. They include "Comfort in every bar," "The sweet you can eat between meals—without ruining your appetite" and "At work, rest and play, you get three great tastes in a Milky Way." Print ads also feature a broken Milky Way with a string of caramel connecting the pieces.

ATLANTA -- Jason Heyward hit a tying homer with two outs in the ninth inning, the second of back-to-back shots by Atlanta, and Nate McLouth led off the 10th with another home run to complete the Braves' power-packed comeback in a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.
Kyle Kendrick threw eight scoreless innings for Philadelphia, but Ryan Madson blew a 3-0 lead in the ninth by giving up consecutive homers to Troy Glaus and Heyward.
Glaus, booed earlier in the game for hitting into a bases-loaded double play, smacked a two-run shot with two outs that drove in Chipper Jones, who had walked. Heyward, the Braves' celebrated rookie, followed with his team-leading fourth homer into the center-field stands to push the game to extra innings.
Heyward delivered his second big ninth-inning hit in two games. He had a two-run single with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth inning on Sunday to give Atlanta a 4-3 win over Colorado.
McLouth's first homer into the right-field seats came off Jose Contreras (0-1). Madson took his first blown save in four chances.
Billy Wagner (1-0) pitched a perfect 10th for the win.
Chase Utley drove in two runs for Philadelphia.
Kendrick, who took a 17.47 ERA into the game, recovered from his slow start by allowing four hits with two walks and two strikeouts in eight innings. After lasting only a combined 52/3 innings while giving up 12 hits and 11 runs in his first two starts, he lowered his ERA to 7.24.
Kendrick matched the longest start of his career while continuing his success against the Braves. He has allowed no more than three runs in each of his seven career starts against Atlanta.
Braves right-hander Tommy Hanson gave up six hits and two runs in 42/3 innings.
Attendance was only 18,032, the smallest of the first seven home games at Turner Field, in the Braves' first game against the two-time defending NL champion Phillies.

Two teenage girls escaped serious injury after their car crashed on the Blue Ridge Parkway today, an accident rescuers said could have been worse if a tree had not kept the vehicle from plunging off the steep mountainside.
The single-vehicle wreck was reported shortly before 11 a.m. at milepost 402 near the Beaver Dam Gap Overlook, about nine miles south of Asheville.
The accident shut down the parkway for more than an hour while emergency crews worked to free the driver, who was pinned in the car. ...

Tusk has done a great job with this canvas roof. The fit, installation and look is on point. I have been looking for a roof for my rzr for a while. After watching some buddies bash their expensive plastic roofs on trees and bust them, I decided to try a cheaper canvas style roof. This roof is on par! The fit, form and function is great! Along with being priced well enough if you beat it up, you can replace it without killing your wallet.Read All Reviews

Ken in MO
Love my new aluminum roof, but IMO the nuts and bolts sent in the installation kit were to small and to short. I had to remove the factory sun visor in order to install my new roof so I used the bolts and clips from the sun visor to hold the roof in place. Three of the four holes in the roof fit but one was about 3/8" off and had to be redrilled.Read All Reviews
Mike in Tennessee
Had this roof for a little over 3 months and it fits well. Just do not get caught in the rain. The design will channel all of the rain onto your dash, down the inside of your windshield, and into your lap. It does not seal against the stock front visor.Read All Reviews

works very well, and its rugged. does add some height to it that could be a downside to some.Read All Reviews
Scott in IN
I like this roof, it's easy to put on and take off. To clean I just run it thru the washer. The only suggestion I could make would be to add the strips of rubber on all mounting points so it will stay put. This should eliminate the flapping that sometimes occurs at speed. I would by another one if I needed to.Read All Reviews

The Thrill of Being Physically FocusedSaturday, September 20th, 2008
A Wind of the Soul visitor sent me a great email just a few days ago. He had listened to my law of attraction podcast and was specifically interested in the segment where I discussed receiving two pennies through seemingly mystical means. In his letter, he asked if I fully believed in my abilities to manifest financial wealth and abundance, without the need to take any physical action. He also was curious to know whether or not I was capable of realizing my true power and if so, why I would choose to continue pursuing my online businesses for bringing in income, if I indeed was in tune with my capabilities?
I love all of the feedback I receive from my visitors, but I truly appreciate it when someone asks probing questions, such as these. I'm not at all offended or put off by such questions, as they help me to consider new ways of looking at the subjects I frequently discuss. They also provide me with some insight into what my visitors are taking away from and bringing to my blog posts and podcasts.
In honestly answering his questions, I stated I do not believe enough in my power of instantaneous materialization to remove the need for taking all physical action. Over time, I have developed a belief in a balance and a synergy between my thoughts and my required actions for manifesting those thoughts.

All PwC firms are involved in their local communities through a vast range of projects, from supporting youth education and leadership programmes to helping social entrepreneurs and local charities. This is a core part of our PwC culture, and we regularly contribute our time, skills and resources.
While our goal is to make a difference in the communities where we work by sharing our time and knowledge, PwC people also benefit from new skills, enhanced personal fulfilment and deeper local relationships.
Our approach to volunteering and community engagement tends to be local and considers local priorities and customs so that the activities have a positive impact on beneficiaries. To learn more about our commitment to community engagement please see our CR commitments page.
We're supporting education programmes. Many of our firms are involved in local initiatives to support education. For example, PwC US' Earn Your Future addresses two critical shortfalls in the US education system: financial literacy among young people and financial training opportunities for educators. PwC's Open University in the US offers free and open access to a selection of courses developed by PwC. In Indonesia, PwC has run a programme to mentor young leaders. PwC China works with NGOs to run the Rural School Volunteer Programme, which sends volunteers to rural village primary schools for a week to lead fun, interactive classes in English, computer literacy, environmental awareness and physical education. PwC Mexico's staff provided technical coaching and advice on accounting, finance, audit and tax to students of Villa de las Niñas, an organisation that provides education opportunities to girls from impoverished backgrounds.
We're supporting social entrepreneurs. Social entrepreneurs create socio-economic value for their communities. We seek to strengthen the business skills and expertise of these entrepreneurs. Such capacity-building is one of the most useful ways that we can support small business as it ensures that the work undertaken adds strategic value to organisations and maximises PwC's impact. For example, PwC firms in the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Spain, Switzerland and the UK, support and promote social entrepreneurs.
We're raising reporting standards in the not-for-profit sector. We aim to help non-profits report their results effectively and accurately. The PwC Transparency Awards were established in 2004 by PwC in the Netherlands to recognise the quality and transparency of reporting by not-for-profit organisations. They have since been introduced by other PwC firms around the world, including Australia, Germany, and Korea.
PwC China/Hong Kong recently launched its Strengthening Donor Communications and Mentoring project to help NGOs to understand impactful reporting, good governance and robust internal controls. Sessions were run in Beijing and Hong benefitting over 100 NGOs.
We're contributing to disaster recovery. Following the devastating Typhoon Haiyan people from across the PwC responded generously with their time, donations and numerous fund raising campaigns. Locally, in the aftermath, PwC Philippines carried out an outreach program in Busuanga Palawan which was badly hit by Typhoon Haiyan.
'On the ground' experience in devastated towns like Busuanga, backed by our disaster relief experience in other countries, has also allowed PwC Philippines to sign a memorandum of agreement with the Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery to provide the government with advice on governance and transparency. Providing access to our people's skills is perhaps the most important contribution we can offer to make a lasting difference.
PwC co-created the R!SE Initiative, together with the UN, and continues to lead the global expansion of the scope of R!SE. This ground-breaking global effort, launched in May 2014, brings all stakeholders together in a single alliance to take leadership on disaster risk resilience, with a focus on creating shared value by making investments risk-sensitive.
