The answer to, “why did Jesus die” seems very simple to some but very complicated for others, finding the answer to this important question seems to depend on how much do we really want to know. You might say, “Didn't Jesus die so that we can go to heaven?”, and yes this is part of the answer, but the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are much more than just our, “ticket to heaven”. Jesus died to restore our relationship with God Why did Jesus die to restore our relationship? God's love for us is great, so when Adam sinned, his sin brought spiritual death to man and separated us from God. Romans 5:12–21 explains this in detail. But God already had a plan to restore the relationship with man back to how He originally intended it to be. It's important to understand the effect that sin has to separate us from God's desire to have a perfect relationship with us. Jesus died to set us Free We now understand why we needed to be set free from sin, but, why did Jesus die to set us free? What did Jesus' death set us free or save us from? Salvation also Includes Deliverance from evil, spiritual and material preservation, deliverance from fear, restoration, healing, wholeness, soundness in spirit, soul and body. Jesus died to make us Righteous Jesus had no sin. He was not born with a spiritual nature of sin like we are (Matthew 1:23), and He never committed any sin while He was on the earth. Hebrews 4:15, explains that Jesus was, “tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning”. Jesus died so we could be “Born Again”. To understand the term “born again,” we need to understand why God is not into behaviour modification. To be born again refers to being restored to the image and likeness of God's original creation. (Genesis 1:26) Jesus died so that we can choose What everything comes down to is a choice. When a person chooses to receive Jesus as Lord of their life, the bible says, they become a brand new creation Has anyone ever told you that God loves you and that he has a wonderful plan for your life? if you were to die this very second, do you know for sure beyond the shadow of a doubt that you would go to heaven? First — It's important to realize that there is only one way to God, and that is through Jesus Christ, the Lord, and Savior of the world (John 14:6). The Word of God says if you believe with your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and confess Jesus as your Lord, you will be saved (Romans 10:9–10). If you would like to receive the gift that God has for you today, say this prayer with your heart out loud… “Dear Jesus come into my heart, forgive me of my sin, set me free, Jesus thank you that you died for me and that your blood was Shed for me. I believe that God raised you from the dead, thank you that you're coming back again for me, fill me with the Holy Spirit. I'm saved, I'm born again, I'm forgiven, I'm on my way to Heaven because I have Jesus in my heart”. God bless you, Roy Clayton.

Sales outreach is one way to set your sellers apart because they deliver personalized experiences in a powerful way to prospects and customers to increase sales conversions. My guest on this episode of #ModernSelling is Kris Rudeegraap, CEO of Sendoso, a leading sending platform that enables sellers to outreach effectively and uniquely. Listen to hear how the company started, how technology is empowering these personalized experiences in ways that lead to response rates of up to 60%, and how your sales team can integrate outreach into your cadence and customer care. This episode is sponsored by XANT, the enterprise leader in sales engagement. Xant has authored the Definitive Guide to Sales Cadence. Get your copy at www.SalesCadenceGuide.com Does Gifting Swag And Direct Mail Really Work? Getting to the heart of the issue, I asked Kris a direct question, “Does this kind of stuff really work?” He said that without a doubt sales outreach works when done as part of an intentional, personalized strategy. When executed properly, sending personalized gifts into the day-to-day work flows can improve both lead nurture sequences at the top of the funnel and conversions further down the funnel. But you must ensure that the decision about where to place this service in your sales cadence is part of an overall strategy. What kind of results has Kris seen? For lead generation, his stats show up to a 60% response rate to gifts that are sent. That’s incredible! But customized outreach also proves to be effective lower in the funnel for building human relationships required as part of the modern sales approach to grow accounts and build long-term client relationships. Omnichannel Selling Is Required To Make Sales Outreach Effective It’s not enough to send a prospect a gift of cupcakes or a mug emblazoned with your company logo. I’ve had a number of edible gifts sent to me recently and I honestly can’t remember who they were from.  Why? In my opinion, the sender didn’t add enough personalization to the gift AND they didn’t effectively follow up or connect the gift to an ongoing conversation. That’s why I talk about the Omnichannel approach for sales. Sellers must engage with prospects and customers on a number of levels and use a variety of platforms to make messaging efforts memorable. Name recognition and top-of-mind status in your industry depend on it.  For instance, if the sellers who sent me cupcakes would have followed up a few days later with a customized video of themselves eating cupcakes and asking me how I was enjoying mine, I’d have definitely connected them with the gift and given them a closer look. Who Is Responsible For These Personalized Experiences? It’s hard to decide exactly who should be responsible for sales outreach initiatives simply because the integrations available with platforms like HubSpot, Outreach, Xant, and others make it an easy-to-use tool for many departments within the company. I believe, at the very least, Sales Leaders should start the conversation with the broader team about the effective use of sales outreach tools. You may find that prospecting benefits from sending tools the most, which may wind up placing oversight in the CSOs purview. But it could just as easily turn out that Sales Enablement utilizes outreach more, so the CMO would not always be the proper leader to guide its use.  The point is that the integration of these customized experiences has to be both intentional and company-wide. When everyone is on the same page and working together to stay aligned and make the most of this amazing tool, new accounts and account growth will be the result. Thinking Through The Options For Outreach Efforts Let’s review the options for the use of personalized outreach: First:It must be strategic and implemented in an Omnichannel approach. Don’t leave it up to individual ARs, BDRs, or salespeople to decide how they will use the tools, or if they use them at all. Decide how and where to use sending tools in your sales cadence as well as how you’ll follow up using social, phone calls, and other communications channels. Make tweaks as you strive to achieve the best results when it comes to sales conversions.  Second: Consider how personalized gifting can be used for top-of-funnel prospecting. Lead nurture can benefit tremendously from appropriate, timely, and personalized sales outreach. But do it wisely. Because of the costs involved you’ll need to scrutinize exactly who is the right person to receive a gift in each situation. And don’t forget to apply the right follow-up and nurturing strategy. Third: Recognize that account growth can happen through personalized engagement with existing customers. Upselling opportunities come to light as you nurture relationships and demonstrate your care and concern for those you are already serving. Personalized outreach makes that happen in unforgettable ways. Not only is Kris’ story fascinating, his stats and insights into the best practices for effective sales outreach are not to be missed.

Welcome to Finance and Fury Today – want to run through Coronavirus – Is it market noise or is it going to be an economic doomsday? First - It is too early to quantify the potential impact of the coronavirus on China. Much will depend on the attack and case fatality rates of the virus Coronavirus first emerged in the city of Wuhan, China - based on media reports - could affect growth in China and the rest of Asia-Pacific – spreading to the rest of the world – The severity of the impact of the coronavirus will depend upon the attack rate (the proportion of the population that falls ill) and the case fatality rate (the proportion of deaths) At this point, uncertainty about the nature of the virus is so high that it renders quantitative assessments pretty meaningless – but it may be helpful to think through how the virus could affect the economy – to do this – let’s have a look back on the impact of previous episodes of pandemics But the Impact of Past Pandemics Has Been Mixed - most commonly cited are the Spanish flu of 1918-1920, the Asian flu of 1957-1958, the Hong Kong flu of 1968-1969, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) of 2003, and the avian flu of 2004-2006. The attack and fatality rates, measured at the global level, vary widely across these episodes reflecting the nature of the condition and the speed with which vaccines can be produced. The Spanish flu was the most severe - health experts generally agree that most events have seen attack rates of 25%-30% and case fatality rates of less than 0.2% - but more recently for SARS, the avian flu - attack rates have been much lower, well below 0.1% For the coronavirus - Health authorities indicate it may be too early to assess these statistics for the new coronavirus. Nobody really knows how many are affected or what the death rates are - there are reports – but guess - What is reported – Less than 500 people have died from this – Before we go through the potential market effects - Time for some perspective – 1,700 people per day die from the flu – around 600k p.a. – why are people so afraid? The media 1.2m people drown every year – so should we be more afraid of swimming than the flu? You might be if the media told you to be There are two elements to the coronavirus which are being balanced - Humanitarian. The bigger the shutdowns, the greater the preventative measures, the fewer people get infected and potentially die. Economic. The bigger the shutdowns, the greater the preventative measures, the more significant the economic impact will be. The focus is not on minimising the economic impact – focus is about preventing the spread of the disease. Or, for politicians, at least been seen to be trying. The economy is no longer the issue – which is why markets are responding with volatility - This being said - I’m not a virologist, and I’m not pretending to be – have no expert knowledge if the measures in what works to prevent the virus from spreading But the economic measures to date are significant and the world is not well-positioned for an external economic shock Again - looking historically SARS killed fewer than 800 people and had been attributed to decrease China’s GDP growth by about 2%. The rest of the world was fine. The issue - The containment measures already in place are far greater than the measures for SARS. They may have a significantly greater economic impact. China is more than 4x larger than it was at the time of SARS. At the time the effect on the world economy was relatively negligible Retail, restaurants and tourism are a significantly larger part of the Chinese economy now, and these are more likely to be affected. Also - SARS was basically at the bottom of the global economic cycle. Debts were low. China still had productive investment. The world was about to launch into the mother of all housing booms. Economic circumstances in 2019 are very different - Central banks have exhausted conventional measures and Corporate debt is at cycle highs. Economic effects will come from Government policies of quarantine and limited trade – Any economic hit will be felt most by industries exposed to household spending, especially activities that take place outside the home. Risk aversion and tighter financial conditions could amplify the impact, including on investment. The Uncertainty around the coronavirus Adds to Economic Uncertainty – last thing financial markets need right now is panic and uncertainty Past events – economic outcomes from the assessment of the avian flu pandemic of 2006 – from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) assessment - potential hit to the U.S. economy – they looked at two scenarios One mild and one severe with U.S.-specific attack rates of 25% and 30% and case fatality rates of 0.1% and 2.5%, respectively - estimated the overall short-term hit to U.S. GDP to be 1% and 2.3% percentage points respectively – but these estimates turned out to be too pessimistic With Coronavirus - these are just guessing – no way to truly tell - best that can be done for now is to identify the potential channels through which the virus could affect the economy. Potential channels that the economy may be impacted – Household consumption - Consumers are likely to avoid public spaces to lower the probability of infection. These effects could be compounded by travel restrictions – so catering, entertainment, and travel services are likely to be most affected if this is the case These segments are typically regarded as luxuries rather than necessities, consumers are unlikely to compensate by spending more elsewhere – especially in Australia – more likely to continue mortgage repayments - would dampen overall consumption Company capital expenditure - Capital expenditure plans of companies are meant to be highly sensitive to expectations for demand – so if there is a prolonged slump in consumption - could, therefore, affect investment (impacting GDP growth) But - firms are unlikely to react quickly unless the virus is confirmed to be substantially more potent than recent episodes when the effect on demand was relatively short-lived – likely to be brushed off by markets if this is the case Government consumption - Higher spending on the response to the outbreak, including health personnel, emergency services, and vaccines, could moderately offset the hit to consumption – but likely to have little effect on the overall economy Trade - Travel, and tourism would be the most heavily affected as individuals seek to reduce the probability of infection. This could be compounded by Wuhan's strategic role in China’s country's transport network. Supply disruptions - Restricted movement of people and, in a worst-case, a high infection could curtail output in some industries. This would affect both manufacturing and service industries and could trigger temporary production outages or a drop in activity. Finally – the Potential Economic Impact On China - The coronavirus is hitting China during Lunar New Year, a period when households tend to spend more on travel, entertainment, and gifts - Even if the virus is contained fairly quickly, the initial stages of high uncertainty are likely to affect spending. While centered in Wuhan, other large population centers including major tier-one cities have begun reporting cases – been spreading to the rest of the world - To give a sense of how big the effects could be on China’s demand - consider that consumption contributed about 3.5% to China's overall real GDP growth rate of 6.1% in 2019 The supply-side impact, stemming from fewer people going to work, may be limited to the Wuhan area so long as the recorded cases remain concentrated in the city's immediate vicinity. Recent estimates indicate that Wuhan is China's sixth-largest city, with a population of about 11 million – so accounts for about 1.6% of national GDP While this suggests any macro-level impact would be small, there are complicating factors if it is taken out of proportion – Wuhan is an important national transport hub, given its central location and that the city is a stop on the two major north-south and east-west high speed rail lines Also, a key player in China's auto industry - Wuhan hosts production facilities for seven major domestic and foreign manufacturers, and for hundreds of auto parts suppliers – is some potential for spillover effects – As we stand today - impact on financial markets has been mostly limited to equities – seeing it bouncing around between losses to gains – Economically – the short-term funding rates in China, including the repo rate, remain well within recent ranges and one-year swap rates have been edging lower The renminbi exchange rate has depreciated somewhat since the news broke, but this also be due to some retracing of the strengthening seen after the U.S.-China trade deal was signed – which is the more likely culprit = Implied renminbi volatility remains steady based around the market expectations Overall - too early to start thinking about revising GDP growth estimate for 2020 due to the coronavirus   What about the potential spillover Effect On the rest of the world? Of course, much will depend on the extent to which the virus spreads outside China - again between the media and the high uncertainty – better to concentrate on the economic spillovers from China - The most important short-term impact will be felt on travel and tourism In Australia - Tourism receipts in the region could fall as people curtail their travel plans in response to heightened health risks – other countries in the region that have large tourism sectors and would, therefore, have a relatively larger impact include Thailand and Vietnam – Thailand- tourism exports are about 11% of GDP. Tourists from China also represent a large proportion of arrivals for these economies, particularly for Thailand and Vietnam, where more than 25% of arrivals are from China – But these tourism numbers effects the local economy – if anyone has been to these countries – how many listed companies benefit from this in Thailand or Vietnam – think the local street vendors are listed on a market? Airlines may be impacted and large hotel chains – but that is it when it comes to the share market directly Largest spillover will probably come from uncertainty – resulting in equity market volatility across the region At least currency and bond markets have been calm While prolonged volatility in equity markets could lead to broader risk aversion, there are few signs yet that financial conditions have tightened   This is a bit of a side note – but where is the real money going to be made from this? – in the WHO and the media Media – fear creates more clicks – which drives more traffic for advertisers WHO – The medical marshal law – pharmaceutical companies that sit on the pandemic council of the WHO – get to declare pandemics – such as swine flu – when they get billions of dollars out of vaccines for a virus – Even the European council – year after swine flu in 2010 said it was a scare tactic that was a false pandemic to get billions out of the population   If you are worried about the economic effects - Where to avoid Exposure to Chinese demand Reliant on Chinese and global tourism More importantly – longer term – Companies with too much debt Countries with consumers carrying with too much debt Countries with too much debt not denominated in their local currency Cyclical companies, like resources or capital equipment which tend to rise more quickly in booms but fall more rapidly in busts Exposure to Chinese students - Banks exposed to the above Australia ticks almost every box above. Europe ticks a lot. Canada has a decent spread. But like most pandemics of the past – think it will blow over and be more market noise This does depend on government responses If markets do crash in response to this – will be yet another convenient scape goat to the underlying structural problems that markets face  

With Efrem having other things to do this past week, we bring you a News for Dogs special episode! And we have some great ones for you pups! First: It’s true, your parents do like their cats better than you. Sorry. Then: Scientist spend time playing hide and seek with rats! What could possibly go wrong? And a vaccine for cat allergens? Sounds too good to be true…  And finally, a use for facial recognition that we can all get in front of. Last but not least, we cover an update out of Chevy Chase, MD.

First - It looks like Thom may be right that the AG with the resume for covering up crimes, William Barr, might deep-six the Mueller report. What can be done? ----------- And then-investigative Journalist Vicky Ward exposes the corruption of America's self appointed prince and princess, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Could the famous couple be even more dangerous than Donald Trump? And how did Jared get Qatar to 'rent' his building in New York City for 99 years paid up front? Was it bribery? And finally, Thom leads a fascinating discussion as to whether we ought to be showing the horrific violence inflicted on shooting victims. Would this lead us to do something about rapid-fire weapons that can take out a cubic foot of flesh with every small-caliber bullet? The discussion then leads into a deep consideration of the nature of guns in American society- plus- a listener in New Zealand adds her thoughts.

First: It's a familiar story. A far right party on the rise, causing a rightward shift across the political spectrum. It has happened across the continent and Sweden is no different, where a sense of doubt has crept in to a society once better known for its successes, but now concerned about migration and a perception of rising crime rates. Our correspondent Derek Scally reports from Stockholm. Later: Journalist Sally Hayden on the strange plight of hundreds of refugees who were abandoned in Libyan detention centres when their guards fled due to the outbreak of fighting between local militias. The refugees, returned to Libya after being stopped by the Italian coastguard, contacted Sally to report that they and their families went for days without food and water. What does the story tell us about Europe's response to migration?

✅ Here’s a summary of what was discussed in this coaching/feedback episode:   Breaking down the project into smaller tasks Doing a time analysis Getting clarity on the business idea   Christopher Hayles’ entry on Facebook contained the following: “Ok gents, I'm at a loss. 3 kids 5-16, work full time for a consultancy company that works closely with Microsoft. We do cloud migrations, automation, data science and business intelligence. Lots of highly sought after stuff. Obviously, this is pretty well paid.” … I'm not wasting a bunch of time. I rarely watch tv, I play soccer once a week, I time limit my social media, I don't get enough sleep as it is. I'm just kinda stuck. Question: How have you managed to break away from the routine to build something on the side? Is it necessary to let some of the other plates drop, temporarily? DILEMMA ➡️ I've long wanted to break out on my own, but somehow seems there's no time whatsoever to work on any personal projects that could eventually turn into a business. First: Choose a project - singular - that ties in with your business Second: Break down the project into small tasks Third: Work on one little task at a time maybe one each day or week When the project is looked at as a whole, it appears as one gigantic mountain; impossible to scale When it is broken down and given its own focus, the size shrinks DILEMMA ➡️ Usually there's barely enough time to take care of myself after taking care of everyone else and my full-time job. First: Do a time analysis by putting it all down on paper Second: Track your time over a 2-week period and see how you are spending your time. Be brutally honest Third: Look over the data and see what is there that was a time-waster or can be removed DILEMMA ➡️ I also have a hard time justifying (to myself) diverting funds to any of my pet projects. First: It is understandable if you are diverting funds to a pet project. This makes it sound like an expensive hobby Second: Be clear on what it is you are pursuing: is it a hobby or a business? Third: If it is a business, then see it as investing funds, rather than diverting funds ✅ Now Your Turn Go to legacybuildingdads.com, you can request entry into the group, where you’ll answer a couple of questions and if you meet criteria, you’ll be given access to this high achievers group.

Today is August 30th, 2017 and our guests this week are: Mike Shuster from the great war project blog,    Dr. Leander “Russ” McDonald, President of the United Tribes Technical College Joel Mize from the 100 Cities / 100 Memorials project in Sheffield, Alabama And Chris Connelly from Dayton Ohio who submitted a “stories of service” post and we want to talk about THAT. WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. Harvey Before we start the show today, we wanted to take a moment for the people of Texas struggling with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Here is Dan Dayton the Executive Director of the WW1 Centennial Commission [DAN DAYTON] There are several links for donating to the relief effort in the podcast notes. link:https://www.uwtexas.org/hurricane-harvey https://give.salvationarmyusa.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app362b?df_id=27651&mfc_pref=T&27651.donation=form1&NONCE_TOKEN=7D83ADF3DC5B202D97E48EC4DA2D792D http://www.redcross.org/hp/harvey3 World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [SOUND EFFECT - WHOOSH] It really was a world war. In part, what made WWI  so immediately global was the “imperial” mindset of the times. Everyone thought in terms of empires - global and regional conquest, possessions, colonies, holdings, opportunities and international allies and bringing all that baggage into the fray.   [MUSIC TRANSITION] We’ve gone back in time 100 years to explore the war that changed the world! It is August 1917 and on the 14th of august, China declares war on Germany. So that got us thinking, here at WW1 Centennial News - about an Asia focused segment -  and this is it. Quick quiz! OK, China declares war on Germany - But is Japan in the war? An what side are they on? [ticking - buzzer] That’s right - in WW1 Japan is ALSO on the side of the allies. This week 100 years ago, a Japanese Delegation comes to America headed by Viscount Ishii, the former Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan. This prompts a number of articles in the Official Bulletin - America’s War Gazette created by the order of the President and published daily by George Creel, America’s propaganda chief. [SOUND EFFECT Radio and telegraph] Dateline: Monday August 27, 1917 Headline: Japanese Mission Pays Homage to George Washington, “He Belongs to All Mankind” Declares Viscount Ishii As the diplomat placed a wreath on the tomb of America’s first president, he declares: In the name of my gracious sovereign, the Emperor of Japan, and representing all the liberty-loving people who own his sway, I stand to-day in this sacred presence, not to eulogize the name of Washington, for that were presumption, but to offer the simple tribute of a people’s reverence and lové. The Day’s events began with a speech by Secretary of the Navy Daniels who recalled the visit to Japan by Admiral Perry a half a century earlier and couches it - NOT as gunboat diplomacy - but as the beginnings of a friendship between the nations. Later, Secretary and' Mrs. Daniels host the Japanese mission, at  Mount Vernon. The story goes on to list the guests who attend, including the 20 Japanese dignitaries and 60 odd American navy, diplomatic and political invited guests. Near the end of the week, Viscount Ishii is invited to address a special session of the US Senate: [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: Friday August 31, 1917 Headline: Viscount Ishii tells senate: “japan Took Up Arms Against Germany Because Our Solemn Treaty With Britain Was Not to Us, just a Scrap of Paper” Viscount Ishii speech included: To us, the fact that you, [the United State],  are now on the side of the allies in this titanic struggle, constitutes already a great moral victory for our common cause, which we believe to be the cause of right and justice, for the strong,  as for the weak… for the great, as for the small. We of Japan believe We understand something of the American ideal of life. and we pay our most profound respects to it. Jefferson, your great democratic President, conceived the ideal of an American Commonwealth to be not a rule imposed on the people by force of arms, but as a free expression of the individual sentiments of that people. Jefferson saw Americans as a myriad of independent and free men, as individuals... only relying on a combined military force for protection against aggression from abroad or treachery from within. In fact, the treaty he refers to means Japanese and the Brits have been besties since signing in 1902 - So - So on August 23, 1914 - 103 years ago (aside) - and - this is less than a month after war breaks out in Europe, Japan formally declares war on Germany and Austria/Hungary  - Here’s the deal they made - Even in 1914, the Japanese Imperial Navy is no slouch - so they agree to protect England and France’s interests in the Asia-Pacific-region, and in return, Japan gets to snag all the German territories in Asia as well as German pacific Islands. So the first thing the Japan does … even before they declare war… is to target a big German colony port in China… Tsingtao. Yes.. There is a connection… German beer… German breweries… German Chinese territories… and today’s great chinese beer brand. Prost… Gānbēi. Next, as per the agreement, Japan goes after the German colonies in the Pacific, making short work out of capturing the Mariana, Caroline and Marshall Islands. This kind of freaks out the Allies including the United States… although we weren’t at war yet. This Imperial Japanese Navy is performing just a little too well for our comfort. It just isn’t natural in the western cultural thinking of the time - with its deep seated bigotry and ignorance - to believe that an asian navy might be world class. But it is! Their support extends to europe…. By 1917, the on-going slaughter on the Western Front means that a constant stream of reinforcements is needed. If the Mediterranean route is squeezed shut, - by Uboats - the French and British Empire-troops would need to go all the way around the southern tip of Africa. So the Japanese Imperial Navy sends a fleet to the mediterranean to help with escort duties. Based in Malta they protect Allied shipping between Marseilles, France, taranto, Italy and Egyptian ports.    By the end of the war, Japan’s Second Special Squadron has escorted 788 ships across the Mediterranean, safely transporting more than 700,000 troops to the Western Front. Reportedly, several Japanese commanders commit Hari-Kari after ships under their protection are lost. They do have a powerful sense of duty! So by 100 years ago this month, on August 14, 1917, - three years after Japan - China declares war on Germany - How come!? Well, China declares itself neutral at the outset of the war, but also wants to show solidarity with the allies. Unable to send men to fight, they sent men to help. By the end of the war, Chinese workers rank as the largest and longest-serving non-European contingent in World War I. There are complex politics surrounding their role and the Chinese Labor force  - But perhaps most important -as China sees America entering the fray, it wants to earn itself a place at the post-war bargaining table. Top of the list for china is to regain control over the vital Shantung Peninsula.. That poky little part in the yellow sea across from Korea that Japan grabbed at the start of the war…  You know, where Tsingtao is located - China wants to reassert its strength over Japan, which is it’s big , aggressive adversary and rival in the region. At the Versailles Peace Conference following the armistice, the Allied Supreme Council—dominated by the United States, France and Britain - are divvying up the world… Japan and China are both there lobbying hard —about their respective claims to the Shantung Peninsula. Meanwhile - Japan introduces another idea into the mix. They propose racial equality language to be included in the league of nations charter: Their proposed language read: “The equality of nations being a basic principle of the League of Nations, the High Contracting Parties, agree to accord, as soon as possible, to all alien nationals of states and members of the League, equal and just treatment in every respect making no distinction, either in law or in fact, on account of their race or nationality.” A bargain is eventually struck with Japan, but not really to their liking! They go home pretty angry and humiliated. The racial equality clause is shut down - but --- in compensation - they get to keep some German submarines and the Shantung peninsula. Some historians noted that both sides see one another as unacceptably arrogant and bigoted… It’s worth noting that the next time we see Japan at war it will not be as an allie. And that is a quick overview of some of what happened in Asia 100 years ago in the war that changed the world.

Today Mike’s post takes us to the Aegean sea and the port town of Salonika, an allied stronghold in Greece - across the sea from Turkey. On August 27th, 100 years ago this week a major event strikes the city. Welcome Mike! [Mike Shuster] Thank you Mike. That was Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. LINK:http://greatwarproject.org/2017/08/27/idyllic-greek-city-consumed-by-fire/ The Great War Channel For videos about WW1, visit our friend at the Great War Channel on Youtube - They have well over 400 episodes about WW1 - covering the conflict since 2014 - and from a more European perspective. This week’s new episodes include: The second battle of Verdun Inside A British Mark IV WW1 Tank and Inside A British Bristol Scout WW1 Airplane, both from the Great War Channel’s recent trip to England Follow the link in the podcast notes or search for “the great war” on youtube. Link: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar [SOUND EFFECT] World War One NOW [SOUND EFFECT] We have moved forward in time to the present… Welcome to WW1 Centennial News NOW  - This part of the program is not about history but how the centennial of the War that changed the world is being commemorated today. Activities and Events [Sound Effect] I’d like to start by spending a little time on U.S. National WW1 Centennial Events Register itself. One of the tasks of the commission is to record and archive what America is going to commemorate the centennial of the War that Changed the World. So we built a US National Events register for that purpose at ww1cc.org/events - all lower case. Then we created two programs to feed it. One is a big red button that anyone can click and submit their event to the national register. That does two things. FIRST - It gets your event listed in the National Register and THEN - It puts your event into the permanent national archive for what transpired during the US WWI centennial - This is a permanent archive that will live on long after the centennial itself passes. In theory, when the US prepare the bi-centennial another century from now, your commemoration idea and event will be part of that record for the 2117 team to reference. The second program we created is for state centennial organizations, museums, libraries, universities and others who are holding a number of WW1 themed centennial events over the period. If you are one of those organizations, we have a special publishing partner program where we will train you, and give you direct access to the register - so you can post your WW1 events directly into it. If you would like to avail yourself of that program go to “contact” in the menu on any page of our website at ww1cc.org and send us a request . And perhaps most important of all -  for those of you just wondering what WW1 themed events are happening in your area --- currently I counted around 70 on-going and 45 single day events. That is around 115 different events going on around the country on most any day. And we think that is only a fraction of what is actually going on. So pass the word, if you are doing WW1 related events - Big or small - get them into the register and let our community of interest, and history know what you are doing to commemorate the centennial of World War I. The link to the U.S. National WW1 Centennial Events Register is in the podcast notes. link: http://ww1cc.org/events Updates from the States North Dakota [SOUND EFFECT] This week in our Updates from the States section - we want to highlight a very special gathering in North Dakota On September 10th during the final day of the 48th Annual United Tribes Technical College International Powwow, an annual gathering of some five to ten thousand individuals - they are going to focus on native americans and WW1. Susan Mennenga from the Pritzker Military Museum and library - and World War One Centennial Commissioner Terry Hamby will be on hand for the ceremony. We have with us today Dr. Leander “Russ” McDonald, United Tribes Technical College president. Welcome, Russ! [Exchange Greetings] [Russ, the Native American Role in WW1 was profound - both in terms of indian nations independently declaring war on Germany - as sovereign nations - and Native Americans volunteering as soldiers. Can you give our audience an overview?] [What do you think was the most profound effect of WW1 on the Native American Community?] [On September 10th, during the 48th annual UTTC International Powwow there is a remembrance and honoring of native american WW1 warriors. Can you tell us about that please…] [Russ, thank you for coming on the show] That was “Russ” McDonald, United Tribes Technical College president and host for the 48th annual UTTC International Powwow. There are links to the event in the podcast notes. link:http://www.uttc.edu/news/uttc-powwow-feature-honoring-wwi-native-servicemen Speaking WW1 And now our “Speaking World War 1 feature - Where we  explore today’s words & phrases that are rooted in the war  --- This week’s  phrase is “Field Day” Today, one might say that the “Hollywood Press” had a field day when rumours broke out that Angelina and Brad broke up. The way it is used now, the phrase “to have a field day” means an opportunity for action, success, or excitement. But the phrase originates from the military. It was used in the literal sense, for a day spent in the field, doing maneuvers, exercises and drills. This was particularly true during WW1 when  A LOT of men got A LOT of training exercises... A marine corp barracks might have sounded like this: Alright gentlemen, grab your packs, your rifles and your sorry butts - today we are having a field day - starting with a 4 mile run. Move out! You maggots. Field Day… A big event - now and then! The earliest references go back all the way to 1747. see the the podcast notes for more link: http://www.theidioms.com/field-day/ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/field_day 100 Cities/100 Memorials [SOUND EFFECT] Joel Mize 100 cities Next, we are going to profile another 100 Cities / 100 Memorials project. That is our $200,000 matching grant giveaway to rescue ailing WW1 memorials. Last week we profiled a brand new memorial going up in Fort Towson, Oklahoma complete with a newly commission doughboy statue. This week, we head to Sheffield, Alabama for a project that honors those who died in the Northwest Alabama region known as muscle shoals. Joining us is Joel Mize, Steering Committee Chairman for the 101 Memorial project. Welcome, Joel! [exchange greetings] [Joel - your projects honors 101 individuals who died as a result of WW1, but not on the battlefields of Europe - but in serving the nation as Civilian defense workers in a manufacturing plant,  Would you share their story with us please?] [Joel - in putting this project together - what do you think is the most memorable thing that has happened to you and your team?] Thank you joel! That was Joel Mize, Steering Committee Chairman for the 101 Memorial project in Sheffield, Alabama. We will continue to profile the submitting teams and their unique and amazing projects on the show over the coming months. Learn more about the 100 Cities / 100 Memorials program at ww1cc.org/100memorials or follow the link in the podcast notes.

With us today is Chris Connelly from Dayton, Ohio who submitted the story of his grandfather Peter Alphonse Connelly who served with the United States Marine Corps 5th Regiment. Peter was drafted into the Marine Corps, becoming a Rifle Expert during training before deploying for france in February 1918. He returned home with a Croix de Guerre for his bravery in battle; interestingly, Peter was an avid photographer and returned home with not only medals but many wonderful photos. Welcome, to the show Chris! [Exchange greetings] [Chris, we have a link in the podcast notes about Peter Connelly and the story you submitted about him - - but I wanted to learn a little more about how you went about putting the story together - Where did you find the materials? ] [What made you decide to submit Peter’s story to our Stories of Service archive?] What is the Marine Corps muster roll? Where can people find it? [What is the most memorable thing for you in putting this together?] [Have you shared your findings about Peter with the rest of your family? What was their response?] [What advice would you give to others wanting to investigate their own family connection to WW1?] Thank you, that was Chris Connolly - who submitted a Story of Service about his grandfather US Marine Corps WW1 veteran Peter Alphonse Connelly. For those of you interested in your ancestors who served, we have very exciting news - We are linking up with The Roll of Honor Foundation, a nonprofit charity with the mission of honoring the military service of the men and women of America’s Armed Forces, educating the public about their legacy and encouraging public service among the next generation. We are in the middle of integrating our Stories of Service and their database of WW1 veterans which will add your story of service to the Roll of Honor. You’ll also be able to purchase a tribute wreath for you veteran on their profile, which will go directly to funding the national WW1 Memorial in Washington DC honoring all our WW1 veterans. We will have more details on this for you over the coming weeks. The links Peter Connolly’s story, the stories of Service and the Roll of Honor are all in the podcast notes. link:http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/commemorate/family-ties/stories-of-service/2471-peter-alphonse-connelly.html ww1cc.org/stories http://rollofhonor.org/ww1/ [SOUND EFFECT] Articles and Posts This week in our Articles and Posts segment - we are going to highlight 2 stories from our website at ww1cc.org/news "The Americans seldom miss a shot.” The first is about a famed skill of the doughboys. They were crack shots! As America entered World War I in 1917, a who’s who of National Rifle Association rifle champions gathered at Camp Perry, OH for an important mission. Training Snipers! These NRA Sharpshooters organized a national-level advanced shooting program —the Small Arms Firing School—where specially selected soldiers would learn advanced marksmanship, culminating in long-range shooting and sniper training. Afterwards, the graduates rejoined their units bringing their new skills with them and training others. Read the whole story about about how this public-private partnership for military marksmanship contributed to the American war effort by following the link in the podcast notes. link:https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/8/24/how-nra-trained-america-s-snipers-to-fight-over-there East Indian Americans in WW1 Finally in Articles a posts, we have a story about one of the Commission’s former interns, Tanveer Kalo, who is STILL doing great work on WW1. Tanveer was also profiled in the May 16, 2017 issue of the WWI DISPATCH newsletter - our sister publication at ww1cc.org/dispatch for his intern work and support in creating our Vande Mataram website about a forgotten group of WW1 veterans from America’s asian Indians community (see the link in the podcast notes)... Having become somewhat of an expert on the subject, Tanveer was recently invited to write an article on the same subject for American Bazaar Magazine, which was just published. Tanveer talks about the process and discoveries of his work, and how he is continuing his research even after returning to college. In the article he highlights his personal favorite story of Manganlall K. Pandit, who served the US military in both World Wars.   Check out Tanveer's great article at the link in the notes. link:http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/communicate/press-media/wwi-centennial-news/3039-in-defense-of-their-new-home-indian-americans-who-fought-for-the-united-states-in-world-war-i.html http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/vande-mataram-home.html The Buzz - WW1 in Social Media Posts That brings us to the buzz - the centennial of WW1 this week in social media with Katherine Akey - Katherine - You have two photos to tell us about today - Take it away!
