Thank You Father that You use the foolish to confound the wise. You use those who are broken to carry Your message of love and restoration. You use the ill-equipped to do the works You created for us to do so that we may be Your blessing to others. I also say thank you so much to my wife, and our three children for the sacrifices they have made in providing me the time and support to complete this work. Another special thanks to my friend Steve Adler for a great photograph of myself for the front cover. Somehow you managed to capture me, the spirit, within the face God has given me. Finally, to all of you who are part of these pages, which is just a small part of my life- story that has been captured in this book, you have contributed to being a part of God’s gift of life to me. Even though difficult at times, God has proved that Jesus makes life worth living. Rick Evans iii A Life is Worth Living 1 How to read this book This book is a window into how God works – It is all about Him, so watch what God does and says and confirm the Scriptures quoted. You will find an incredible blessing walking with God through this story, and if you read the whole story, your spirit will have learnt a lot about how to work with God, even if your mind does not fully grasp it yet. There is a term I use regularly in telling these stories I call it “Design-Time”. I have come to understand this to be the time-before-time, before anything was created, when God, (Our Father, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit), planned out the opportunities for us each to have the most amazing and beautiful lives, not just in this physical realm, but also the amazing opportunities for us throughout our eternity. God also saw how Satan would turn, and would create terrible challenges and destruction, and so Our Father limited what he was allowed to do in each situation, and used him to grow and strengthen and build each one of us into a master piece. It is unfortunately so terribly sad, that with our gift of free will, we often reject God’s amazing life, and settle for, and accept, Satan’s alternatives. To have a beautiful life, ask God what He had planned at Design-Time for you. In this book you will see the easy and difficult times of my life. Through it all I have learnt to make this same request of God, to show me His way and His plan. And then I wait patiently on Him for His response. I have learnt to quote the following scripture when I ask Him for His guidance and insights. Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” After reading this book you will begin to notice God working in your life too. You will see that your life is worth living. You should read this book watching what God does and says. This book is about what God has been doing in and through my life. It is about, and how He has been leading and guiding me, and how I was taught to walk and work with Him. You will see my successes and my failures, and you will see a relationship developing over time that you too can have with God, and I pray yours is better than mine. I learnt to be an obedient servant, because I knew it

This May we witnessed a great transformation during a traditionally television- centric time of the year. Referred to as the Upfront, TV networks showcase their fall shows and highlight what American consumers’ love: content. The Upfront draws the interest of advertisers and media networks as they engage in an elaborate negotiation and collaboration around the buying and selling of advertising inventory for the coming season. This year was different. Early conversations around time-shifting and digital became very real. Upfront talks around shifting some deals from Live+3 days to Live+7 days, digital rights, DOUNIA TURRILL and programmatic buying, have those of us in the media and advertising industry SVP INSIGHTS, NIELSEN on the edge of our seats. Just as cable networks entered the Upfront fanfare a few years back, digital publishers, who have for the past couple of years showcased themselves in the Newfronts, came out strong. Capturing the attention of Millennials in growing numbers, these agile powerhouses challenge the media landscape. And, at the risk of being repetitive, the American consumer has never before engaged with more content across media type, media devices and content type. THE VIDeo VIEWING CURVE coNTINUES to GROW AS DELIVERY AND EXploratioN OF coNTENT coNTINUES to EXpaND. Understanding, defining and measuring this curve matters to our clients.

Through a series of in-depth interviews it explores the phenomenon, investigating both how and why TV consumers are using social media to talk about TV content while watching it. The findings of this thesis include numerous insights about the viewing behavior associated with synchronous Social TV, covering several different aspects: Driving forces, the context in which Social TV viewing takes place, the features of the content being consumed, with whom and how Social TV viewers are interacting with each other, identified barriers and needs, as well as perceived effects on the TV viewing experience. It becomes evident that TV viewers consider the act of watching TV as a highly social activity, seeking to share it with other like-minded individuals, using social media to recreate the experience of watching together as a co-located group.
