## Quotes

* Despite conflicts and challenges that have occurred in different parts of the world, in general, peace, security and development cooperation among all nations remain the prevailing trend of this era. This is the important achievement of the United Nations in fulfilling its mandate as stipulated in the Charter. .. Nevertheless, the international environment continues to undergo numerous challenges such as armed conflicts, terrorism, poverty and hunger, infectious diseases, climate change and natural disasters which have posed major threats to peace and development. Therefore, I am of the view that we must enhance our political will, mutual assistance and cooperation under the banner of the United Nations in order to collectively address the said challenges facing us. .. Today, conflicts have often occurred in many regions of the world such as in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe, which have caused major concerns for the international community. Therefore, it is important to find solutions and restore peace and development to those regions. .. In the era of interdependence, cooperation and engagement are the key factors for peaceful co-existence and mutual benefit. The Lao PDR, therefore, welcomes the recent re-establishment of the diplomatic relations between the United States of America and the Republic of Cuba, which has opened a new chapter in the history of relations between the two countries, that had been stalled for many decades. .. Climate change and severe natural disasters, which have occurred more frequently, have caused huge impact on the development of countries, especially developing countries, including the least developed countries that are most vulnerable due to their limited infrastructure, insufficient technology, financial and human resources to respond to and address those phenomena. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the international community to help these vulnerable countries, through, among other things, building their long-term capacity to tackle such challenges. .. The Lao PDR attaches great importance to promoting and protecting human rights and has become state party to seven of the main international human rights instruments.

### The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business Is Selling Less of More (2006)

Page numbers refer to the 2006 Hyperion edition, ISBN 1401302378.
* Our growing affluence has allowed us to shift from being bargain shoppers buying branded (or even unbranded) commodities to becoming mini-connoisseurs, flexing our taste with a thousand little indulgences that sets us apart from others.
** Introduction to the 2006 edition, p. 11
* For the first time in history, hits and niches are on equal economic footing, both just entries in a database called up on demand, both equally worthy of being carried. Suddenly, popularity no longer has a monopoly on profitability.
** Ch. 1, p. 24
* The world of shelf space is a zero-sum game: One product displaces another.
** Ch. 2, p. 40
* We are turning from a mass market back into a niche nation, defined now not by our geography but by our interests.
** Ch. 2, p. 40
* In an era without the constraints of physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of distributions, narrowly targeted goods and services can be as economically attractive as mainstream fare.
** Ch. 4, p. 52
* A Long Tail is just culture unfiltered by economic scarcity.
** Ch. 4, p. 53
* Talent is not universal but it is widely spread: Give enough people the capacity to create, and inevitably gems will emerge.
** Ch. 4, p. 54
* Never underestimate the power of a million amateurs with keys to the factory.
** Ch. 5, p. 58
* The Web is the ultimate marketplace of ideas, governed by the laws of big numbers.
** Ch. 5, p. 70
* The ultimate cost reduction is eliminating atoms entirely and dealing only in bits.
** Ch. 6, p. 96
* For a generation of customers used to doing their buying research via search engine, a company’s brand is not what the company says it is, but what Google says it is.
** Ch. 7, p. 99
* In a world of infinite choice, context—not content—is king. (Chris Anderson quoting Rob Reid)
** Ch. 7, p. 109
* Broadly, the Long Tail is about abundance. Abundant shelf space, abundant distribution, abundant choice.
** Ch. 8, p. 143
* Remember, in the tyranny of physical space, an audience too thinly spread is the same as no audience at all.
** Ch. 9, p. 163
* Blockbusters are the exception, not the rule, and yet we see an entire industry through their rarefied air.
** Ch. 9, p. 167
* We are entering an era of unprecedented choice. And that’s a good thing.
** Ch. 10, p. 168
* Order it wrong and choice is oppressive; order it right and it’s liberating.
** Ch. 10, p. 174
* This is the end of spoon-fed orthodoxy and infallible institutions, and the rise of messy mosaics of information that require—and reward—investigation.
** Ch. 11, p. 190
* Fundamentally, a society that asks questions and has the power to answer them is a healthier society than one that simply accepts what it’s told from a narrow range of experts and institutions.
** Ch. 11, p. 191
# Chowa

Chowa (1637 - October 17, 1715) was a Japanese haiku poet.

## Quotes

* "Kono ikku / shūgihan nashi / kogarashi no."
* "This is one poem / people won't dispute / the winds of winter."
** Japanese Death Poems. Compiled by Yoel Hoffmann. ISBN 978-0-8048-3179-6

## Quotes about Chowa

* ... "Hototogisu!" I waited and repeated, — And day dawned. This is said to have been composed in the early morning after having vainly attempted all night long to write a haiku on this subject, set by her teacher, Rogembo. It seems to me a very fine verse. She has at last identified herself with the hototogisu, and begins to sing like one. A similar verse, in which the bird can be heard, is Hie famous 13th century Cuckoo Song: Summer is icumen in Lhude sing cucu! But the verse attributed to Chiyo-jo seems to derive from one by Chowa, who died in 1715 aged 78.

## Quotes

* I was just always really into having pets and felt a real connection with animals, and I guess as I became aware … from where it was coming to my plate it's just I couldn't eat it—it was disgusting. I stopped eating read meat … but I still ate chicken for a long time, and we were on tour and saw a chicken truck go by with these chickens that were just bleeding—it was just disgusting. And that was it. I haven't had a piece of it since. … We're not actually born ready to eat meat, it's something you have to develop and it's not something that you need to develop. The issue with the whole thing is just education and information. You know, most people don't think about it.
** “Lamb of God interview,” by Peta2.com, on YouTube (19 February 2007).
* My marriage, my relationships and family, my accomplishments with my band and my choice to be vegetarian are not only things I am proud of, they define me.

## Quotes

* I can’t wear any brand on my body - I just freak out. I mean, if I’m with a girl who’s wearing a Christian Dior necklace, I can’t even fuck her. And then there are those girls - like every girl I seem to find - who has one those Louis Vuitton bags. C’mon, it’s fucking false tribalism.

* Look, I spent months in Mexico and the Dominican with subcontractors. I could tell you where all the best fucking bars are in the Dominican. What I’m trying to say is that it doesn’t work. My theory is, and I think I’m right - and I mean you guys had rioters in Montreal a few weeks ago [for the WTO] - is that going offshore is actually more expensive than these guys let on. What I’m going to prove, and I’m going to embarrass the entire fucking establishment, is that sweatshops are more expensive in the end than vertically integrated manufacturing in Canada or the U.S.

* I made a mistake with these stores; I didn't do it myself and it's wrong. So I've had to let people go and there's nothing I hate more than having to get rid of kids. It breaks their hearts. But you know what? It affects sales. Should garment workers at my factory suffer because we fuck up the casting? What I'm looking for is style--that's not something you can teach a person. You have it or you don't. Let's say one girl has an acne problem but good style, while another one is beautiful but has no style. I'm picking acne!"

# Christian music

Christian music is music that is written to express either personal or a communal belief regarding the Christian life, as well as to exist as a Christian alternative to main stream secular music.

## Quotes

* Our church does not use musical instruments, as harps and psalteries, to praise God withal, that she may not seem to Judaize.
** Thomas Aquinas, Bingham's Antiquities.
* Like all music, the figured bass should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the recreation of the soul; where this is not kept in mind there is no true music, but only an infernal clamour and ranting.
** Johann Sebastian Bach, quoted in Ludwig Prautzsch Bibel und Symbol in den Werken Bachs p. 7 [1]; translation from Albert Schweitzer (trans. Ernest Newman) J. S. Bach (New York: Dover, 1966) vol. 1, p. 167.
* Where there is devotional music, God with his grace is always present.
** Johann Sebastian Bach, Original: "Bei einer andächtigen Musik ist allezeit Gott mit seiner Gnaden Gegenwart".
* We have brought into our churches certain operatic and theatrical music; such a confused, disorderly chattering of some words as I hardly think was ever in any of the Grecian or Roman theatres. The church rings with the noise of trumpets, pipes, and dulcimers; and human voices strive to bear their part with them. Men run to church as to a theatre, to have their ears tickled. And for this end organ makers are hired with great salaries, and a company of boys, who waste all their time learning these whining tones.
** Erasmus, Commentary on I Cor. 14:19
* Eric Cartman: Christian music doesn't require any thought at all! All you have to do is get crappy love songs and replace the word "baby" with "Jesus".
** Trey Parker, "Christian Rock Hard", South Park, (October 29, 2003).
* Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) has grown over a long period of time. Its foundations are evident in the early hymns of various Protestant faiths. Overtures of intimacy and sentimentality were mixed with Christian music in the 19th century as the feminine ideal of piety combined with the temperance crusade emerged. Even militaristic themes characterized hymns in the early 20th century as the world and the United States fought several major wars. By the 1960s, however, Evangelicals began to realize that "Bringing in the Sheaves" on Sundays couldn't begin to compete with weekday broadcasts of "Hey Jude" and "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," especially among younger listeners. Composer Ralph Carmichael began the CCM renaissance with pieces such as "Pass It On" and "He's Everything to Me." Musical creativity burst onto the Christian music scene as the younger generation brought its hippie culture, with music largely devoid of theological divisions, into various churches.
** Christopher H. Sterling; Cary O'Dell, "The Concise Encyclopedia of American Radio", (9 February 2011), Routledge, p. 184.

## Quotes

* Practical life is not necessarily directed toward other people, as some think; and it is not the case that practical thoughts are only those which result from action for the sake of what ensues. On the contrary, much more practical are those mental activities and reflections which have their goal in themselves and take place for their own sake.
** Aristotle, Politics, VII, 3, 8, 1325b16-20
* We ought at all times to wait for the enlightenment that comes from above before we speak with a faith energized by love; for the illumination which will enable us to speak. For there is nothing so destitute as a mind philosophising about God, when it is without Him.
