Arts and Culture
Officiated weddings in Japanese for wedding chapels at several chapel locations in Karuizawa, Japan on weekends for a Japanese friend who had started a Wedding Chapel business. At the time Western-style or "Christian" weddings were very popular. I performed 2 to 3 weddings per day every weekend for 5 months while my family and I toured Japan during the week days.

Discover concise keyword outlines of Biblical history in the strokes and symbols of ancient Chinese characters. Even though people in China and Japan may be tempted to think that Christianity is a "Western" religion, there is evidence that it is not as is seen within the Chinese characters they use everyday. If I were to ask a Chinese or Japanese junior high school student how many people were on Noah's Ark and told them that the answer can be found in the word for "ship," they would know the answer. But if I asked a Westerner the same question, would they know that the answer is eight?
In this book we will take a look at the gospel message embedded in the symbols of the Chinese characters that the Japanese use in the verse in Matthew 11:28, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest."

This hits the core truth of why so many digital initiatives fail. Technology was never the problem — decision-making was. We kept upgrading frameworks while the underlying processes stayed broken. AI changes the entire game It lets you architect visibility, speed, and intelligence directly around your biggest bottlenecks. In 2025 and beyond, the winners will be the companies that stop digitizing inefficiency and start engineering intelligence. Completely agree with this perspective. #AI #DigitalInitiatives #Technology #DecisionMaking #EngineeringIntelligence

Sutter Health Park Just Got Smarter — From Dugout to Parking Lot. We’re proud to announce the full NXTFusion™ sensor deployment at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, bringing autonomous AI intelligence to the venue as we start the 2026–27 baseball season. Starting this season, NXTFusion™ is deliver real-time AI-powered visibility across the entire venue footprint — managing traffic flow, protecting revenue, securing the parking lot, and keeping fans and staff safe across all the events on the calendar. And the calendar is packed. Beyond the Athletics (soon to be the Las Vegas Athletics) and Sacramento River Cats baseball, Sutter Health Park hosts some of the most dynamic events in the region: -Savannah Bananas — bringing their viral brand of baseball entertainment to Sacramento fans -Shamrock Marathon — one of the region’s premier running events flowing through and around the venue - Perfect Game tournaments — elite youth baseball where every play matters and every parking spot counts Each of these events brings unique crowd dynamics, traffic patterns, and operational demands. NXTFusion™ adapts in real time — automatically — so our operations partners at Ace Parking can manage it all with fewer staff, less guesswork, and zero revenue leakage. This is what a fully sensored venue looks like: AI-powered vehicle counting and traffic orchestration, Real-time anomaly detection and employee safety alerts, POS Sentry revenue accuracy across all cashier-managed operations, Predictive crowd flow — before problems become incidents. We didn’t build NXTFusion™ for a single game. We built it for the full season, the doubleheader, the marathon morning, and the Friday night lights of youth baseball. See Everything. Miss Nothing. Respond Instantly. Sutter Health Park is now one of the most intelligently managed venues in Major and Minor League Baseball. And we’re just getting started. Interested in what full-venue AI sensing looks like for your property? Let’s talk. #NXTRobotics #NXTFusion #SutterHealthPark #Athletics #SacramentoRiverCats #SavanannahBananas #ShamrockMarathon #VenueOperations #SmartStadium #AceParking #RevenueProtection #AutonomousAI

As WordPress grows into a true application platform, developers are facing new challenges—and new opportunities. Building complex solutions like custom workflows, dashboards, and enterprise integrations demands more than code. It requires process, governance, and disciplined practices. In my latest article, I explain why WordPress developers should embrace the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to deliver scalable, enterprise-grade applications. Read the article and discover how an SDLC mindset can transform your development practice: https://lnkd.in/etG-uNJp #WordPress #SoftwareDevelopment #SDLC #EnterpriseDevelopment

The billing for an Application Load Balancer (ALB) is relatively straightforward compared to other services. ALBs charge $0.0225 per hour, resulting in a cost of $16.43 per month, even with no targets registered. This consistent hourly charge can be overlooked by teams, leading to unexpected monthly expenses. Understanding this pricing structure is crucial for effective budgeting and resource management in cloud infrastructure.

We all know the Benefits of Custom Code and how enhancements provide tailored fit to business process. Here are some downsides - reasons to cut short on the list of enhancements as and when possible. 1. Increased Complexity Custom code adds layers of complexity that can make the system harder to manage, troubleshoot, and upgrade. 2. Upgrade & Maintenance Challenges Future SAP upgrades (e.g., support packs or major S/4HANA releases) may break customizations or require rework, delaying adoption of new features. 3. Higher Costs Development, testing, documentation, and ongoing maintenance of custom solutions add to total cost of ownership. 4. Skill Dependency Custom solutions often require specialized consultants or developers. Knowledge loss becomes a risk if key personnel leave. 5. Deviating from SAP Best Practices Over-customization may cause divergence from SAP's roadmap, reducing the benefits of standardization and pre-delivered functionality. 6. Performance Risks Poorly designed custom logic (e.g., in RF transactions or warehouse task processing) can degrade system performance in high-volume environments.
