13 Jan We've Got the Power – The Power of Prayer
I used to work as a teacher in a public school. I loved my job with everything in me. I loved the students. I loved the subject I taught (Spanish). And I loved the opportunity to be a constant smile or a daily hug for a group of high school kids who, the majority of which, didn't have much in their life that was constantly positive.
While my job was incredible, there are always parts of jobs that you'd want to change or see differently – for me, it was my department. From my first day on the job until I left at the end of the year 4 years later, a couple of the other teachers in my department had decided that they didn't like me very much and they often went out of their way to show it. I have to admit – I was certainly upset that I was immediately pushed aside by the colleagues I originally hoped to learn from, but I was also certain that God's plan was for me to be at that school… with those kids… and those, exact colleagues. While it was a surprise to me to be disregarded, it was no surprise to God. And while my colleagues questioned my abilities and discredited my value, God did not. If He had ordained my steps in getting there, my place was certainly purposeful.
In the workplace, there's only so much you can do to defend yourself. I wanted to focus on my students and what was happening inside my classroom instead of putting my energy into proving them wrong. While I must admit, I practiced snarky remarks in the mirror while putting my morning makeup on plenty of times, I never really allowed myself the opportunity to use them (thankfully). I often wondered and prayed "How can I defend myself while still living above reproach?"
One day, I came across this quote. From the moment I read it, I was encouraged:
"Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers." – J. Sidlow Baxter
This quote stuck to me like glue because it is so true. My colleagues rejected my opinions, opposed my ideas, and they certainly despised my person before even giving me a chance… but there was one thing I could do that they couldn't resist – I could pray for them. I'm a daughter of the King – with a direct line to Him… I could pray for these women and they'd never even know it. As backwards as it sounded, it felt like sweet revenge – If I prayed that God would soften their hearts towards me or if I prayed that their lives would be so wonderful that it would force their personalities to be happier, it would certainly make my days at work better.
While everything in my heart wanted to NOT pray good things over them (I'm admitting a lot of ugly today), I decided to act in deliberate disobedience of my flesh and to go for it.
Our prayers are powerful, y'all. God says that He hears each and every one of them and that not one prayer falls on deaf ears. When we turn our hearts to Him in prayer, He listens and He knows – it's never in vain! The Bible says that our prayers are powerful and effective.
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." – James 5:16
"Pray for each other so that you may be healed…"
So, here's the part where I tell you that one day, both of those women had a miraculous change of heart, right? I hate to tell you this, but those two colleagues of mine didn't get any better. They worked harder and harder to make my job more uncomfortable for me up until the last day of school until my life circumstances changed, allowing me to work from home. What I can tell you is this – there was certainly healing that happened when I began praying for them. I was healed slowly of my need for their approval. I was healed of my need to stick up for myself in a way similar to how they were treating me. I was healed of the self doubt that crept in when I realized they doubted me. I eventually felt total and complete freedom and joy in the midst of conflict in the workplace. And I hadn't even realized that I needed healing in the first place.
I prayed for them and I was healed.
Today, I ask you – Is there someone in your life that would be hard to pray good things for? What would happen in your heart if you decided to pray for them consistently? Your prayers are powerful and effective! Use that power!

T.J. Waters is, to the best of my understanding, an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency. He rushed to join the CIA in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Five years later, in 2006, he published a book about his training and education experiences as an aspiring spy, analyst, and staffer at the Agency. He was a rookie, one of many to comprise Class 11, trying to make the team.
Waters shows the reader the world of a person seeking to pass muster and join the Agency. You sit with him in his first general class meeting with CIA administrators and trainers. You follow him as he moves from stage to stage, from the first days of training and orientation to the culminating classroom and field education of "the Farm." To the extent that he can in light of classified information, Waters pulls the curtain and reveals a temporary life of learning that only a handful of people have ever seen.
Waters writes in a breezy, youthful style, reminiscent of someone chatting with you in the break room. His writing expresses the "adult school yard" stories that characterize Class 11 as a book. He adds to the drama by sprinkling in anecdotes about his fiancé and wife, a relationship that wrestles with issues of separation and secrecy. As a writer, Waters impresses you as sincere, enthusiastic, and friendly. Despite an occasional lapse into tediousness, Waters' ability as a writer is a boost to the book.
He depicts the class spirit of the group that sought to join the CIA the first year after 9/11. They have a self-identity of hearing a call on that day of horrors. Waters writes about the group being generally older, more professionally accomplished in business, than typical CIA recruiting classes. The identity they develop extends outside the boundaries of learning; the group frequently socializes together. Waters shares with pride that many CIA instructors comment on the uniqueness of Class 11.
The group learns the basics of work at the CIA. They conduct surveillance, "drops," follow targets on foot and in vehicles, and in similar modes of transport attempt to evade those who would follow them. They learn how to define likely sources of human intelligence (HUMINT, in the jargon) which are crucial to gathering and analyzing raw national security information.
Waters is not afraid of criticizing CIA standards and procedures. Many of the regulations and customs in CIA training and education are outdated; for example, there's almost no thought given to implications of the increase among recruits with spouses and children. At the same time, Waters is perhaps too eager to praise Class 11 for its gifts and abilities. The reader may predict that it won't be very far in the future when Waters is defending the alumni of Class 11 for mistakes in the field. From there, it's a short step to justifying yet another failure of Class 11's CIA.
This raises a point. Every organization I know seeks to instill a sense of identity and defining unity among its employees, especially recruits. But I don't know how many people stop and consider the disadvantages of hyper-identity—the blind loyalty to the group and stubborn refusal to change its behavior. There is a risk that in becoming so effective at forming a group or organizational identity we at the same time calcify it against new ideas and methods. The CIA is a powerful example of this.
The most intriguing element of the book to me was the phenomenon of a temporary life of learning. Most of us don't experience an immersion of learning as Waters did in the preparatory year at the CIA. Similar in fashion to aspects of the US military, the preparatory year at the CIA is a mixture of education and training in an industry (national security intelligence gathering and analysis), a recognized entity with the industry (CIA), and a particular role in the entity (spy, analyst, and so forth). Throughout the three-layer mixture runs a pervasive sense of uniqueness and specialization.
In almost no other job, position, or career will a person have this type of temporary learning life. Though such professions as medicine share some aspects of it, they fall short in that students learn as individuals and not as potential colleagues in the same organization. Students of languages might participate in a different kind of "immersion" program, but again, they don't have the organizational component of learning that you see with Waters and the CIA.
Interestingly, probably the closest example to the CIA's preparatory year of learning would be other national government agencies and organizations, such as the Department of State, National Security Agency, and the various officer schools of the American military. The fact that only other national public organizations best resemble the CIA's preparatory year of learning tells us about its uniqueness as an experience.
Waters discovers that training and education for hopeful CIA employees relies heavily on CIA veterans and subcontractors who have worked there in the past. Waters and the other students conduct hands-on training and do extensive role plays and scenarios that can last for days. These activities involve the students in unusual ways; they serve as contributors to each other's learning as much as they participate in their own instruction. They also endure intense scrutiny and critical feedback from their instructors.
In reading about the preparatory year of learning at the CIA, three points startled me. As you will see, each point has importance both for emerging national security issues and for organizations that are re-examining their education and training programs.
One such point was the CIA's reliance on veterans and subcontractors in the training staff (or faculty, if you prefer). These folks are excellent for passing on accepted wisdom to potential recruits and new hires. Procedure Q, as we'll call it, is time-tested, reliable, and has been precisely crafted to meet our needs. Thus, people steeped in Procedure Q are exactly the ones you want imparting this information to eager, open minds. However, there is a looming disaster if Procedure Q is part of a flawed set of organizational principles, including its culture. New results and the methods and practices that produce them are not equivalent to a restating of Procedure Q. You don't want instructors and trainers who are too heavily invested in Procedure Q (and the old ways) and yet are trying to stir a change in culture and overall reform of the organization's activities. All you'll get in that case is a weakly reheated version of Procedure Q and the same set of failures you're seeking to reverse. Waters' book suggests that fresh culture requires fresh trainers doing fresh training.
Too many veterans and subcontractors in the CIA's training system threaten the Agency's ability to revamp the worn-out conventions of national security intelligence. You'll not be likely to avoid another bumbling pre-Iraq War assessment if you simply re-stir the old ingredients in the pot. The same hold true for any private or public organization, whether profit-based or not.
The second startling point was the role of training and education in perpetuating traditional ways. I don't believe that organizations fully understand the connection between the desire and necessary of change and the link to training and education. The reader learns that the CIA is aware of needing to change and that this awareness has occasional expressions in the content and rhetoric of learning. In reality, though, this is only a fraction compared to the much greater contributions that training and education make to continuance of the CIA's status quo. After reading the book, I assert that the CIA hopes for 90-100% change in its outcomes but pursues perhaps 10-30%change in how and what its employees learn in their first year. You need to ask the same hard question of your organization—what is the relationship between the percentage change in outcomes compared to those of learning?
The third point is the loneliness or singularity of the individual at the tip of the national security spear. Human intelligence is rightly regarded as possibly the most important type of national security information. You define it as a person—someone who becomes an informant that passes on important data to a CIA agent and hence up the chain of command. It takes a CIA agent to identify, develop, and recruit each informant. Person to person, one at a time, everything ultimately hinges on the individual. When you step back and think about it, that's an enormous burden for each individual agent to carry.
One of the positive observations about the CIA which I gained from Waters' book was the Agency's appreciation of the psychological and motivational side of national security intelligence. The CIA has delved deeply into understanding the human dynamics at work in gathering and analyzing intelligence. That understanding has been translated into several components of the temporary year of learning. I encourage organizations to put more effort into comprehending the attitudinal side of their customers, internal operations, and overall employee performance. Some organizations are effective in addressing the latter but they have no sense of the former two.
T.J. Waters made a serious commitment to the CIA after one of this nation's greatest tragedies. For that he is to be commended. In his earnestness Waters assumed readers would want to know more about people who made a similar commitment as well as the institution which they strove to enter. For that he is to be thanked. And in a way that perhaps he didn't fully intend, Waters underscored the urgency of looking more clearly and honestly at the way we link a hope for change to the reality of learning. For that he is to be used.

Bright spots? In 2020?
There were not many of them, we'll admit. But there were incandescent pockets here and there, if you were an investor, and specifically if you invested in special purpose acquisition companies (more commonly known as SPACs).
On Wall Street, of course, you need to follow the money to follow what's in favor. And SPACs, hot in 2020, are, well, still hot.
All told, as estimated by SPACInsider.com, these investment vehicles, across 248 IPOs, raised more than $83 billion, far outpacing other years, where the initial public offering (IPO) size only reached double digits and where, for example, 2019 saw 59 IPOs and gross proceeds of $13.6 billion.
Thus far in 2021, as of this writing, there have been 27 SPAC IPOs, according to the site, which have generated $6.6 billion in gross proceeds.
In only one example noted in this space, as reported this week, tech startup Social Finance (SoFi) is closing a merger deal with blank-check firm Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. V to file an IPO.
As to where SPACs go from here is anyone's guess. But the fact that these "go public" options eclipsed "traditional" initial public offerings (at 194 deals and $67 billion, as estimated by Renaissance Capital and cited by CNBC) speaks volumes to the allure of raising cash and making deals, opportunistically. Investing in SPACs also requires a fair amount of trust in the management teams behind the dealmaking.
In terms of what they do and how they do it, SPACs exist as shell companies that go public, with full cash coffers, and then look to merge or acquire a private company and take it public. There is usually a two-year "horizon" (our term) for a deal to get done; if no merger is in the works, or the investors are nonplussed by the proposed deal, the SPAC can be liquidated and holders can redeem their shares (the initial distribution of SPAC shares, typically, is $10 a share). The SPAC may not have an announced target yet, and the hunt goes on until the SPAC finds a target company (and during the deal may take only a stake in that entity, not the whole firm).
Eyeing The Returns — And The Challenges Ahead
A Wall Street Journal article this week noted that of SPACs that completed deals during the period that spanned January 2019 and June 2020, the average loss was about 12 percent within six months of the deal announcement, compared to a 30 percent gain in the tech-heavy NASDAQ.
Olympia McNerney, Goldman Sachs' head of U.S. SPACs, said in an interview with Bloomberg, "The SPAC is bringing the last round of financing forward to the same time as the IPO. Companies are effectively doing the last round and the IPO all in one go."
One notable difference tied to the search for investor funds: The news outlet noted that in a blank check deal, would-be targets can offer up their "forward looking" numbers — namely, how they think top and bottom lines will fare in the future, and this is not a staple of traditional IPOs and their roadshows. We note that can stoke enthusiasm, and capital commitments (i.e., investments) based on what might ultimately, overly-optimistic projections.
In addition, the shell companies, with capital in hand, are effectively competing for the same universe of private companies for these deals, which means that valuations, and purchase prices can climb, raising the bar for returns on investment. Add that to the fact that interest rates are likely to rise off of (current) lows, the hurdle becomes even more onerous. Caveat emptor, then, as 2021 comes into focus.

GENEVA (5 December 2014) – United Nations human rights expert Pablo de Greiff will visit Burundi from 8 to 16 December to assess the transitional justice efforts undertaken by the authorities thus far. Since gaining independence in 1962, Burundi has experienced several periods and incidents of grave violence and massive abuses, often ethnically motivated.
"This first visit comes at a particularly crucial moment," the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence said, pointing to the ongoing process of the establishment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The creation of the truth-seeking body in Burundi is one of the main steps contained in the Arusha Agreement of 2000 and a key recommendation of the national consultations of 2009.
"However, beyond truth-seeking, my mandate focuses on the areas of justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, which," as the expert pointed out, "aim to redress the legacies of massive human rights violations, and to assist in providing recognition to victims, foster trust and reconciliation, and strengthen the rule of law."
"I intend to assess objectively and impartially the work undertaken in all four areas of my mandate and offer my assistance to the Government and the entire Burundian society to adequately address past violations with the aim to continue to move forward," the Special Rapporteur underlined.
Mr. de Greiff, who is visiting the country at the invitation of the Burundi authorities, is scheduled to meet with Government officials, representatives of the legislative and judicial branches, law enforcement officials, a broad range of civil society actors, victims, the UN and diplomatic delegations. He is scheduled to visit the provinces of Bujumbura Rural, Bubanza and Gitega.
The expert will hold a press conference in Bujumbura at the end of the visit on 16 December at 10:30 at the Office of the United Nations in Burundi (BNUB), Chaussée d'Uvira, to present his preliminary findings and recommendations. For any additional information regarding the press conference, please contact Mr. Vladimir Monteiro, Public information officer (+257 7611 5744/ +257 71236118 ; firstname.lastname@example.com).
A final report on the visit will be presented by the Special Rapporteur to the UN Human Rights Council in September 2015.
A human rights expert from Colombia, Pablo de Greiff has extensive professional and academic expertise on transitional justice issues, including on the four measures under this mandate (justice, truth, reparations, and guarantees on non-recurrence). He has worked with different transitional justice bodies across the world and has provided advice to a number of Governments and multilateral institutions on international policy, transitional justice, and on the linkages between justice, security and development. He has also collaborated with numerous NGOs working with victims in many countries. Mr. de Greiff has published widely on the issues pertaining to his mandate and lectured in prominent universities. He was the Director of Research at the International Center for Transitional Justice from 2001 to 2014.
Mr. de Greiff was appointed by the UN Human Rights Council as the first Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence in 2012. As a Special Rapporteur, he is independent from any government and serves in his individual capacity. Learn more, visit: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/TruthJusticeReparation/Pages/Index.aspx

Sit down if you haven't already heard this one, but Hillary Clinton — who is coming up on four years of not going quietly into the night after losing the 2016 election — is predicting President Trump won't go quietly into the night if he loses this November:
This is a special kind of self-unawareness:
2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Thursday that if President Donald Trump loses the presidential election this fall, she believes he won't go "silently into the night."
"I don't want to scare people, but I want you to be prepared. I have every reason to believe that Trump is not going to go, you know, silently into the night if he loses. He's going to try to confuse us, he's going to try to bring all kinds of lawsuits, he's got his crony Attorney General (William) Barr ready to do whatever is necessary," Clinton said at The 19th Represents Summit.
HAHAHA! Thanks for another laugh, Ms. Clinton.
The self-unawareness burns.
She should know….

You still haven't gone silently in the night still blaming Russia for your embarrassing loss in 2016
— Paula Watson (@alfwats09) August 14, 2020
Given that Hillary and her supporters have been walking around for 3 1/2 years claiming she won the election, this really takes some Chutzpah.

Horror fans were in for a treat this morning with the trailer for a new movie, Spiral. Check out the trailer below and then continue reading for some information about this new take on the Saw franchise.
The Game is Back
Lionsgate is ushering in the return of the twisted Saw franchise to theaters with Spiral. How exactly this film connects to the existing series is a bit up in the air, but here is what is known so far.
The film is executively produced by Chris Rock who also developed the story and stars in it. The film also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Max Minghella. As for the official synopsis, Lionsgate released the following: "A sadistic mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in 'Spiral,' the terrifying new chapter from the book of 'Saw.' Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Jackson), brash detective Ezekiel "Zeke" Banks (Rock) and his rookie partner (Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city's gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer's morbid game."
The film does not confirm the status of Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) but the grisly mechanical methods of death are making an appearance in the film, along with a recognizable spiral image, based on the trailer and poster so far.
This film, the ninth in the series, will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. Bousman is very familiar with the franchise, having directed Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV. Jigsaw writers Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger also return.
The Saw franchise took off in 2004 thanks to the shocking brutality and surprises of the first film, directed by James Wan. For about six years, Saw became a year franchise until about 2010. In 2017 the series returned with Jigsaw.
The series as a whole has been a long string of box office successes, though it has lagged critically with successive installments. The worldwide revenue of the series has reached close to a billion dollars with Spiral more than likely to put that total over the edge. Not bad for a series of films with an average budget of about 8 to 10 million dollars.
So, are you excited to see the return of the sinister and cruel tortures of Jigsaw? Are you a fan of Saw? How does Spiral sound to you? Let us here at Haunted MTL know your thoughts.

As part of the Victorian Game Management Authority's (GMA) plan to strengthen its operational and surveillance capacity, all authorised GMA Game officers are now equipped with new high-tech body-worn cameras (BWCs). The GMA's Authorised Officers are now using the BWCs to improve evidence gathering in situations such as approaching and engaging alleged offenders caught illegally spotlighting deer, exceeding bag limits on game ducks and shooting protected species.
The GMA undertook extensive research into BWCs and found that the Axon Body 2, which is a wearable camera system incorporating an audio and video recording device, was the most appropriate model for the GMA's purposes.
The camera provides high quality audio and video recording capabilities. Mobile phones can be paired with the BWC, and a mobile phone app, called Axon View, is used to monitor and save video footage.
Through Axon View Authorised Officers can:
The recorded footage is stored on a cloud-based digital evidence management system. This system allows for a 'forensic fingerprint' of each evidence file and tamper proof evidence audit records. The evidence management system also allows the sharing of footage within the GMA and with other trusted agencies, including Victoria Police, via a secure link. Photos taken by members of the community who report alleged illegal hunting offences can be saved to evidence management system and stored within the database for inclusion on case files and information reports.
The GMA's Authorised Officers can also capture photos, video and audio with their mobile phones, and using the mobile app, securely upload these files to the evidence management system. In equipping GMA Authorised Officers with BWCs, the GMA was mindful of the risks associated with the privacy of community members, particularly in the context of inadvertently capturing footage or recordings of people not involved in a GMA enquiry i.e. if our Officers walk past a group of people conversing while approaching an offender.
At all times, the GMA maintained a conscious effort to ensure the use of the new BWCs meant that Authorised Officers could still comply with the Surveillance Devices Act 1999
Recent amendments to the Act ensure that police, ambulance officers and other prescribed persons do not commit this offence inadvertently, while carrying out their duties. The GMA obtained legal advice from the Victorian Government Solicitors Office on how best to ensure that GMA Authorised Officers could also be protected from any breach of the Act. This risk was removed by making a recommendation under s 37A of the Act to the Governor in Council (GIC) to make regulation with respect to prescribing a GMA Authorised Officer as a prescribed person for the purpose of the of the Act. The BWCs are part of the Victorian Government's $6 million boost over four years to increase GMA staff, provide new equipment, increase research capacity, conduct education campaigns and develop a new online Game Licensing System.
A South Australian waste removalist convicted of assaulting two environment protection officers has been given a suspended sentence, but his company has been fined $49,000 for illegally storing more than 17 tonnes of asbestos.
The Environmental, Resources and Development Court heard Gavin Piller snatched a camera and audio recorder from the hands of the officers from SA's Environment Protection Authority (EPA).
The court heard Piller's company, GP and Sons, had a history of complaints dating back to August 2015, when the EPA attended one of the company's sites to discuss concerns over a large amount of dust causing an environmental nuisance.
EPA chief executive Tony Circelli said Piller's punishment sent a strong message to "anyone attempting to intimidate or assault EPA officers during the course of their duties".
He said the EPA officers were documenting the contents of two skip bins containing wrapped and unwrapped asbestos on April 3, 2018 at Largs Bay when they were abused and attacked.
"This type of illegal activity will not be tolerated — it risks both harm to the environment and the community, and damages confidence for investment and fair play for legitimate waste operators," he said.
Piller wrote a letter of apology addressed to the court, the EPA and its officers, expressing regret and accepting "full responsibility for his poor and unacceptable behaviour that afternoon".

Need a good exercise program? Don't sweat it | The Dr. is In
PORT ST. LUCIE — Most of us gauge our workouts by how sweat-drenched we are when we're done: we think the wetter, the better.
But is that the best way to measure how hard you're working and how many calories you're burning?
Does it indicate you've had a good workout?
According to experts, it doesn't.
They say sweat depends on a lot of factors, most notably genetics and ambient temperature.
If you do 60 minutes of cardio and perspire a lot, you won't necessarily be fitter than if you did 10 minutes of less-sweaty interval training.
If you've ever done a Pilates or yoga workout, you know that even though you've improved your health and endurance and built core muscles, you weren't a sweaty mess when you were done.
And if you think the only way to get the job done is with pulse-pumping cardio workouts, it's time to go back to the drawing board.
Cardio fails to improve strength, leads to overuse injuries, is highly over-rated for fat loss, and doesn't improve total body muscle endurance.
So, if sweating buckets in a spin class is your favorite way to stay fit, just remember it isn't the be-all, end-all for fat burn that many of think it is.
The sweat you do lose from exercising won't be gone for long. It is made up of water (which is heavy) and sodium from electrolytes and you'll automatically lose weight immediately.
But it's only temporary: once you drink water to rehydrate, the weight you lost will return.
Sweating controls body temperature and prevents overheating, so it's important for good health.
The two main reasons your body sweats are to cool you with perspiration when you exert yourself or when the weather is too warm or if you become emotionally stressed, nervous, anxious or scared.
If you equate sweating with losing weight, remember there's only one way to do that permanently: by burning more calories than you take in.
To lose one pound of body fat, you must burn 3,500 calories. Do that by increasing your physical activity or decreasing your calorie intake – or by combining the two for faster results.
If you like to relax in a sauna, by all means do so, but don't think the sweating you do there will help you drop pounds.
The medical professionals at Treasure Coast Primary Care will help you develop a no-sweat program to accomplish whatever health, exercise and dietary goals you have in mind.

TWO new laboratories costing £2.5million have opened at Hammersmith Hospital.
Sir Bruce Keogh, national medical director of NHS England, unveiled the cardiac catheter labs at the White City hospital on Tuesday last week.
Sir Bruce took a tour around the Augustus Waller Department of Electrophysiology, which has new diagnostic imaging equipment and will mean doctors can diagnose and treat irregular heartbeats, and perform coronary angioplasty to widen narrowed arteries.
Other treatments include TAVI, a less invasive form of aortic valve replacement to treat narrowed heart valves and minimally invasive closures of holes in the heart.
The new labs are part of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust's move to contain all cardiology services on a single site, after the electrophysiology department at St Mary's in Paddington was moved to Hammersmith Hospital.
A former cardiothoracic surgeon at Hammersmith in the 1990s, Sir Bruce said: "The cardiology service at Hammersmith Hospital has a fantastic heritage and a great future thanks to the trust's ambition and academic leadership.
"The trust is in good financial shape and this will help to develop services while, as part of an academic health sciences centre, the department will be able to conduct important trials and be involved in translational research for the benefit of patients."
The new facilities are part of a five-lab suite to improve quality of care, research and patient experience.
They are named after August Waller, a professor of physiology at St Mary's Hospital whose research led to the development of the electrocardiograph (ECG), which records the heart's electrical activity.
Dr Kevin Fox, the trust's chief of service for cardiology, said the opening represented a bright day for people at risk of heart disease in north west London.
He added: "We have created a hub for acute cardiac care in north-west London, linking a fantastic Imperial College London research facility to clinical care on the same site. Working in partnership with London Ambulance Service, we uniquely in north-west London offer 24/7 care for people whose heart is beating life threateningly fast or slow, whose heart arteries are blocked or whose heart muscle is failing."

Around Town: Budget drafts due today in Vestal, Union
When work sessions on the budget began two weeks ago, Vestal Town Supervisor John Schaffer gave board members a warning. The 2015 spending plan, he said, would be "the hardest budget that we're going to have — ever."
The challenge facing the board is the cause of rising expenditures and flat revenues, town officials said. Schaffer said it's a problem that's being dealt with by other municipalities, too.
Vestal has until the end of the day today to file its "tentative" version of the budget. A "preliminary" version will be filed later next month and will be followed by a public hearing in early November. The town board then has until Nov. 20 to pass the final version.
There's a lot more work to be done before then, Schaffer said.
"Our work is just beginning again," he told board members at last night's work session.
The town will hold a separate public hearing on its proposed fire budget, which won preliminary approval from the board in a vote last night, on Oct. 21. The final deadline for approval of that budget is Nov. 4.
The close of today also marks the deadline for the Town of Union to file its preliminary budget to the clerk.
The Press & Sun-Bulletin and pressconnects.com will have more detailed coverage of both towns' budgets later this week. As we review the numbers for next year, let us know what you'll be looking for in your town's budget and what areas and issues are most important to you.

She leverages this background as a fact checker for The Balance to ensure that facts cited in articles are accurate and appropriately sourced. learn about our editorial policies Photo: Reza Estakhrian / Getty Images Investing in stocks of a small business is merely an extension of buying a small portion of a business run by someone else and enjoying your cut of the earnings. Small businesses sometimes are seen as wonderful gifts that, when well-nurtured, can produce a lifetime of financial independence and a standard of living much higher than average. Small business and start-up business investment opportunities often come in the form of penny stocks, which can expose the investor to higher risks. Key Takeaways Many participants in small business ventures only make money from being on payroll, which limits growth and expansion opportunities.When a small business makes a profit, this can either be reinvested in the company or, for a corporation, paid out as a dividend to investors.Taking dividends now increases your current income, while reinvesting them increases your potential for future wealth.Some small business owners form their ventures intending to grow them only until the earnings can be capitalized and the company sold to investors. Who Invests in Small Business Stocks For the right type of person, with the right type of skill, temperament, and risk profile, small business investment can be a lucrative investment. Typically, there are only three mechanisms through which you can experience a profit in net worth from a privately held firm. Knowing these three sources of wealth generation is important because new investors are sometimes too quick to jump head-first into potential opportunities without clear ideas of how they will drive the economic engine to gain the financial benefits they desire. The Salary You Pay Yourself For many small business investors, the company never generates more than enough for them and their family to live upon from salaries taken out of the company in exchange for working on the payroll. Though this can be considered a success, the small business isn't really an investment at this stage. Instead, the founders have essentially created a job for themselves, which includes the benefits and drawbacks of self-employment. These payroll distributions can limit the total capital the company has to expand, which can explain why many small businesses are never able to move beyond a single location or increase sales significantly. It is isn't unusual for more successful small businesses to begin as part-time ventures, allowing the founders to continue their day jobs until the company grows large enough to support their small business salary needs. Distributions From Profits When a small business investment has become successful, there is remaining profit for the owners—above and beyond the amount taken out in salaries and wages. The owners then can decide to reinvest the profits for future expansion, or they can declare a dividend. In the case of a corporation, the dividend is a distribution to shareholders. This payment takes the form of a draw for a limited liability company or limited partnership. A sole proprietorship small business may use the money in their personal lives, often to build savings, acquire other investments—such as stocks, bonds, or real estate—and pay down debt. Whether or not a small business investor reinvests his or her dividends can have an enormous effect on their ultimate net worth. There is no right or wrong answer. If you desire to live better now and give up more wealth in the future, taking dividends can be a rational course of action. If you would rather be richer in the future and are willing to risk additional capital in that pursuit, reinvesting dividends can be a more intelligent strategy. In any event, when you move beyond having a job, dividends from profits are the second most common source of wealth for small business investors. Capitalized Earnings From Selling the Firm Once a company has grown beyond the small business realm, it could become attractive enough that outside investors want to own it. When this happens, these investors may offer to buy the company. With few exceptions, the primary source of value for an operating business that generates good returns on capital is the earnings power, not the assets on the balance sheet. For example, manufacturing plant machinery isn't worth much when bought on the liquidation market. Still, when acquired as part of an on-going company that produces large profits, it is valuable. Investors will look at the earnings of the business and factor in growth, debt levels, and the economics of the industry as a whole. If things are attractive, they often apply a valuation multiple to the profit stream. This valuation is the equivalent of the price-to-earnings ratio you hear so much about in the stock market. Thus, a business that earns $1 million per year in profit might reasonably sell for $10 million or $15 million. That figure is the "capitalized" earnings value of the firm. Some small business owners form new ventures for the sole purpose of growing them to the point the earnings can be capitalized and the company sold. This change of ownership is known in financial terms as a "liquidity event." There are even special types of investors that focus on this niche investment strategy, such as so-called "venture capitalists" who back nascent enterprises in the hopes of someday taking them public in an IPO or selling them to an established player in a market.

Dive Brief:
- Organizations that emerged from the height of the pandemic in better shape spent time and resources on their work from home strategy, according to a survey from software company Catchpoint. The firm surveyed 200 CIOs and 200 managers overseeing work from home in July, sorting their companies in top, middle and bottom tiers according to metrics such as revenue, employee satisfaction and network reliability.
- Businesses in the top tier were 33% more likely to train staff on work from home technologies when compared to bottom-tier companies. Employees at top-tier companies were also nearly three times more likely to say collaboration tools were extremely effective.
- Among the leaders, cloud played an essential role in the midst of the pandemic. Leaders were nearly three times more likely to say their cloud vendor enabled the delivery of services and applications.
Dive Insight:
In the crisis, organizations put collaboration tools and existing platforms under new stress. Now that the period of adjustment passed, businesses must figure out how to lay out a sustainable remote work strategy — and how to deploy the technology this will require.
Low employee morale and productivity are two threats companies must contend with as they emerge from the crisis, according to the report. Top-performing companies reaped the benefits of spending time and resources into equipping employees with necessary technology.
More spending is expected in the months ahead as companies leverage what they learned during the height of the pandemic. Though analysts expect a 7.3% contraction in global IT spend, companies enumerating their software priorities for beyond 2020 often cite collaboration as a critical area for investment.
To secure worker connection to critical systems and increase network visibility, organizations will continue to devote resources to cybersecurity strategies, as employees logged on from home are targeted by malicious actors.

$77M SkyVue project underway
LANSING - Demolition has begun on the former Story Oldsmobile building on Michigan Avenue to make way for the $77 million SkyVue project.
The nine-story, mixed-use building near the Frandor Shopping Center will have 359 residential units with a small retail space available on the first floor. The project, headed by Georgia-based developer Rise Real Estate, is expected to be complete by the summer of 2017.
"I'm really excited about the impact it will have on all of Michigan Avenue … the retail in Frandor and at (the future) Red Cedar Renaissance," said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership. "This will be a new standard for development."
The 667,000 square-foot development is expected to bring in 1,000 new residents to the area. Rise Real Estate is expected to receive $17 million in reimbursements plus interest, for an anticipated total of about $25 million. The money would come to the developer over 25 years through property tax reimbursements.
Council supports East Michigan Avenue�s revitalization
Trezise said negotiations are still ongoing for the $276 million mixed-use Red Cedar Renaissance project at the nearby Red Cedar Gold Course. The project is led by developer Joel Ferguson and Frank Kass, chairman of Columbus, Ohio-based Continental Real Estate. That project will include restaurants, student housing, townhouses and a full-service Hyatt hotel.

Ancient and Modern Democracy is a comprehensive account of Athenian democracy as a subject of criticism, admiration and scholarly debate for 2,500 years, covering the features of Athenian democracy, its importance for the English, American and French revolutions and for the debates on democracy and political liberty from the nineteenth century to the present. Discussions were always in the context of contemporary constitutional problems. Time and again they made a connection with a long-established tradition, involving both dialogue with ancient sources and with earlier phases of the reception of Antiquity. They refer either to a common cultural legacy or to specific national traditions; they often involve a mixture of political and scholarly arguments. This book elucidates the complexity of considering and constructing systems of popular self-rule.Read more
- Offers an analysis of the continuity and changes in a debate that has stretched over 2,500 years
- Shows an interconnection between political theory and historical scholarship in the subject of Athenian democracy
- By establishing political ideas in their contemporary institutional context, the book connects with a modern audience

White Nationalist Steve King Mad At His Dratted Phone, And What's Google Anyway
When Google CEO Sundar Pichai testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, white nationalist Rep. Steve King thought it a good time to ask about an issue his granddaughter had with her iPhone — an iconic product with which Google, and Pichai, is not affiliated.
Business Insider reported that while Pichai was being grilled, King asked why, when his 7-year-old granddaughter was playing a game on her phone before an election, a notification popped up with his image accompanied by foul language.
Then, the Iowa congressman held up his Apple device. "How does that show up on a 7-year-old's iPhone who's playing a kids game?" he asked Pichai.
"Congressman, iPhone is made by a different company," the Google CEO responded, causing the Democratic staff to break out in laughter.
King tried to save himself: "It might have been an Android. It's just … it was a hand-me-down of some kind."
Pichai offered to follow up with him later, as in the moment, he couldn't get into the workings of a secondhand phone, possibly made by a competitor, according to The Verge.
"You know, I'm happy to follow up when I understand the specifics," Pichai said. "There may be an application which was being used which had a notification. But I'm happy to understand it better and clarify it for you."
Later in the hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu reportedly told the Iowa congressman that if he wanted "positive search results, do positive things," Business Insider reported, referring to King's long history of making anti-Semitic and racist comments.

Car chase leads to standoff, suspect arrested by SWAT
Posted on April 13, 2014
A car chase ended after a multi-hour standoff with police Saturday. The standoff ended with the suspect arrested by SWAT.
The incident began at 2:40 a.m. when officers spotted a stolen Chevrolet Tahoe whose driver may have been involved in a nearby shooting. The incident started at the intersection of South Vermont Ave. and West 79 St., said Los Angeles police Sgt. C. Meisner in an interview with the Los Angeles Daily News.
When officers stopped the car, the driver fled. Two other males who were in the vehicle at the time were arrested, Meisner said in an interview with the Los Angeles Daily News.
Officers followed the fleeing man, who broke into one house and then ran into a second one in the 300 block of West 112th St.
SWAT officers were brought in after police failed to remove the suspect from the home. Officers believed the suspect was not alone in the residence.
Police did not release details about how the arrest was made.

Excellent colors, impression and overall condition.Notes: This is an extremely rare Deluxe edition with Mica in the sky and river banks area. Usually, this technique was reserved for good customer or prestigious people, as the technology was fairly new, expensive and difficult to master.More about this print: Why are two half-naked figures out on such a chilly night? It was customary for artisan apprentices to engage in kan-mairi, wintry nighttime visits to temples and shrines where they would bathe in icy water to temper their bodies and offer prayers to the gods for the refinement of their skills.These two apprentices are returning from a visit to Konpira Shrine, which lay directly behind and to the right. Like the bundled figures on Aoi Slope to the left, they carry lanterns; the lantern of the shorter apprentice bears the name of the shrine god, Konpira Daigongen. The other apprentice also holds a small bell, which he rings as they hurry bravely through the cold.Pictures: Pictures are taken outdoor, in the shade, to reflect true colors, without any enhancements of any kind. The last picture is taken indoor, with a light behind the print, to reveal the exact paper grain, holes if any, or other possible flaws.
