man are based on the principle of satr (concealment). This means that the women are instructed to do all that which is most concealing for them" (Sunan Al-Kubra al-Baihaqi, vol 2, pg 222, Idarat Al-Talifaat) The statement of this great Muhadith, Imam Baihaqi, clearly indicates that there exists a difference in the salat of men and women. Majority of the proofs presented in this article are taken from the book authored by Shaykh Albani titled "Sifat Salaat al-Nabi". This book contains many mistakes and was refuted by many Ulama throughout the world like the late Shaykh Hamud al-Tuwayjiri (d. 1992). In fact, the late Shaykh Bin Baaz and Shaykh Salih Al-Munajjid have also given rulings contrary to that which is in the book of Shaykh Albani regarding this issue. So, it seems as though Shaykh Albani was the only scholar claiming that there is no difference between the salat of men and women. Hereunder, is our response to the article: Article states: "Rather the general meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), "Pray as you have seen me praying," include women too" Response: 1. The interpretation of the above Hadith provided by Shaykh Albani was never given by any scholar of the past. Not a single traditional and expert commentator of Sahih Bukhari, including the likes of Ibn Hajar Asqalani, Allamah Aini, Ibn Battaal etc had given this interpretation. It is only Shaykh Albani that has given this interpretation and logically it

attention to your content, design and offers Each aspect of your e-mail will determine its ultimate success from the text, images, layout, landing pages and presentation to the user. No matter how great your intuition may be, testing is your friend when it comes to the visual elements of your e-mail. Start with a small sample e-mail to your customer base and record the results before you roll out an extensive e-mail blast to a wider audience. By identifying core, important trends you can adapt your marketing message accordingly. You may find that you need to adjust your creative, subject line or landing page in order to improve the appeal of your campaign -- making these adjustments can significantly boost your bottom line. Make sure your content adds value to your readers rather than just aiming for a conversion. With high quality content, insightful tips and interesting ideas you're more likely to build up a loyal following for your e-mails which opens up the door for a larger potential sales or lead base. Segment your prospect list properly Rather than sending a single e-mail or even a few based upon different demographic factors, try to segment your prospect list into logical groups. Single mothers on a tight budget will respond to different factors than young professionals looking for status symbols -- in between these extremes are various demographic groups which can help improve your open and conversion rates through e-mail.

He does not know, or need to know, that his personal interest in the performance is a disturbing bias which will prevent him from learning the whole truth or arriving at ultimate causes. Mr. Everyman does not wish to learn the whole truth or to arrive at ultimate causes. He wishes to pay his coal bill. That is to say, he wishes to adjust himself to a practical situation, and on that low pragmatic level he is a good historian precisely because he is not disinterested: he will solve his problems, if he does solve them, by virtue of his intelligence and not by virtue of his indifference. Nevertheless, Mr. Everyman does not live by bread alone; and on all proper occasions his memory of things said and done, easily enlarging his specious present beyond the narrow circle of daily affairs, will, must inevitably, in mere compensation for the intolerable dullness and vexation of the fleeting present moment, fashion for him a more spacious world than that of the immediately practical.

of learning. The use of a range of evidence accumulated over the year builds dependability in progress and achievement decisions. An OTJ can be made when the teacher reviews all of the evidence in relation to a National Standard, rather than relying on a single source of evidence. When using an assessment tool When using assessment tools teachers should: understand the purpose of the assessment know the curriculum content well enough to clearly understand what is being assessed and that it is being assessed appropriately consider the difficulty of the assessment so that it fairly matches the level of the student know how to select an assessment tool, administer it and interpret the outcomes support students to understand what is being assessed and why know how to respond to assessment outcomes in a way that benefits student learning. School example Here is an example of how evidence is collected from multiple sources in reading. You can see clearly from the example that students are fully involved in the learning and assessment process.

What's the problem? There are very few browsers that can't handle unicode these days, those that are should be IMO considered a bug in the browser rather than in the content. Typographically correct quotes get a bad reputation because Microsoft implemented them in Word [reasonably, for the purpose of preparing documents to be printed, where interoperability isn't a concern] before support for them was ready in the rest of the software ecosystem, but now it _is_ there. @Jay Maynard I strongly disagree with that opinion.

And as we do not as yet possess a present, but look for a future salvation , so is it with our happiness , and this with patience; for we are encompassed with evils , which we ought patiently to endure, until we come to the ineffable enjoyment of unmixed good ; for there shall be no longer anything to endure. Salvation , such as it shall be in the world to come, shall itself be our final happiness . And this happiness these philosophers refuse to believe in, because they do not see it, and attempt to fabricate for themselves a happiness in this life, based upon a virtue which is as deceitful as it is proud . We give a much more unlimited approval to their idea that the life of the wise man must be social. For how could the city of God (concerning which we are already writing no less than the nineteenth book of this work) either take a beginning or be developed, or attain its proper destiny, if the life of the saints were not a social life? But who can enumerate all the great grievances with which human society abounds in the misery of this mortal state? Who can weigh them?

Utah State Song - "Utah, This is the Place" The 2003 Utah State Legislature voted to change the state song from "Utah, We Love Thee" to "Utah, This is the Place." Utah's original state song was then designated as the Utah State Hymn in HB223 . Rep. Dana Love, R-Syracuse, sponsored the bill at the behest of the Cook Elementary School class in Syracuse who, as quoted in article from the Salt Lake Tribune on Friday, February 28, 2003, "...they didn't like the current state song, Utah We Love Thee, that it wasn't very much fun to sing." The Cook Elementary School fourth-graders sang it to Utah senators before they voted on the change (Utah Code) . In 1996, Sam and Gary Francis wrote "Utah, This Is The Place" for Utah's centennial celebration. Since then, the song has grown in popularity with children, especially among fourth-graders who learn it as part of their study of Utah history. There was some doubt if "Utah, This Is The Place" could become the Utah State Song since Sam and Gary Francis would hold copyright to the new state song, and gain royalties every time it was sung. Rep. Gordon Snow, R-Roosevelt asked Rep. Dana Love and she wasn't sure of the answer, but someone, later identified as one of the composers, in the Legislative gallery shouted out "yes! when Snow asked if the copyright would be given up. The House adopted the tune. (According to an article appearing in the Salt Lake Tribune,

years difference over the term of your loan. The reason for this is that there are 26 fortnights in a year, but only 12 months. Paying fortnightly means that you will be effectively making 13 monthly payments every year. And this can make a big difference. Using our example from above, by paying monthly, you will need to repay $640,126 over the term of your loan. By paying fortnightly, you will save $48,534 in interest and 4.5 years off the loan. Zero pain to you, major benefit to your pocket. 5. Hit the principal early Over the first few years of your mortgage, it may seem that you are only paying interest and the principal isn't reducing at all. Unfortunately, you're probably right, as this is one of the unfortunate effects of compound interest. So you need to try everything you can to get some of the principal repaid early and you'll notice the difference. Every dollar you put into your mortgage above your repayment amount attacks the capital, which means down the track you'll be paying interest on a smaller amount. Extra lump sums or regular additional repayments will help you cut many years off the term of your loan. 6. Get a package Speak to your lender about the financial packages they have on offer. Common inclusions are discounted home insurance, fee-free credit cards, a free consultation with a financial adviser or even a fee-free transaction account.

(Courtright, 1929) 105 -- 601, 105 -- 602). Under the amendment the court has discretion to permit a supplemental pleading despite the fact that the original pleading is defective. As in other situations where a supplemental pleading is offered, the court is to determine in the light of the particular circumstances whether filing should be permitted, and if so, upon what terms. The amendment does not attempt to deal with such questions as the relation of the statute of limitations to supplemental pleadings, the operation of the doctrine of laches, or the availability of other defenses. All these questions are for decision in accordance with the principles applicable to supplemental pleadings generally. Cf. Blau v. Lamb , 191 F.Supp. 906 (S.D.N.Y. 1961); Lendonsol Amusement Corp. v.

that can serve as a useful external referent and whose riches are only just beginning to be exploited in a systematic manner. Secondly, the historical memory of the Muslim community is more robust than some have claimed. For example, many of the deities, kings and tribes of the pre-Islamic Arabs that are depicted by ninth-century Muslim historians also feature in the epigraphic record, as do many of the rulers and governors of the early Islamic state. This makes it difficult to see how historical scenarios that require for their acceptance a total discontinuity in the historical memory of the Muslim community -- such as that Muhammad did not exist, the Quran was not written in Arabic, Mecca was originally in a different place etc. -- can really be justified. Many of these scenarios rely on absence of evidence, but it seems a shame to make such a recourse when there are so many very vocal forms of material evidence still waiting to be studied.' [3] If there is a lot more to be studied, and that is definitely the case, then how can one even think of a consensus? Robert Hoyland provides some of the epigraphic and papyri evidence to suggest that this material evidence actually confirms the authenticity of the Islamic narrative in many regards. Holland, however, simply doesn't seem to be aware of this evidence in the documentary.

Needless to say, Dahl and his four friends got quite a beating for this from the headmaster, who was the next cruel figure in his life. From having headmasters who beat him, to Matrons who terrorized him, he used these experiences to an advantage, and wrote scrumptious stories which included characters like himself and the dreaded authority figures. Despite all of this nonsense, in each story, there was the contrasting role of a "rescuer", an adult who helps the child to triumph, for example, in Matilda , Miss Honey rescues Matilda from Miss Trunchbull and her own family. Dahl repeatedly used this theme because when he was away at boarding school, where he couldn't have his rescuer (his mother), he would fantasize about it and often wished he were with her. The key to

Likewise for most add-on products, such as "power conditioners", fancy cables and most accessories. The only "add-on" product I can think of that actually improves sound quality is acoustic treatment. As Winer suggests above, you only need speakers, a media player and a receiver. That's it. These are probably components you already have and we'll detail how to upgrade their sound in a bit, but first we need to get your room in order. The most important free tweak you can do to increase the quality of your sound is to calibrate your speakers and test your room. Acoustic treatment and stereo calibration require a little work on your part and we'll start with that in the next section.

"What is again and again manifest among the figures surrounding Hitler is an empty but dogged will to power, which is so often combined with extreme servility. ... The lack of independence and poverty of personality of so many of [Hitler's] leading supporters was a prime means of preserving an attachment to Hitler's person through all humiliations, and a general search for a father figure found its deepest satisfaction in the consciousness of Hitler's close presence. The stringency and caprice with which he treated his entourage merely confirmed and strengthened this feeling." (page 298) "The elements of the man willing to put himself at the disposal of totalitarianism may all be traced back: his poverty of personality, his lack of background, his weak contact with others and his emotional instability, his aggressive prejudices, his subservience to his impulses, his split mind, and his deification of the leader matched by his contempt for humanity." (page 303) This book was poorly translated and even in the original German, Fest is a heavy writer, turgid and hardly scintillating. This compilation is laden with errors, some major, some not, but the ultimate effect compromises the integrity of this book.

(approximately 40% by weight of the seed is oil) while growing in malnourished soils with high levels of salt. It is becoming a main focus in a number of biodiesel research organizations. [ 129 ] The main advantages of Pongamia are a higher recovery and quality of oil than other crops and no direct competition with food crops. However growth on marginal land can lead to lower oil yields which could cause competition with food crops for better soil. Several groups in various sectors are conducting research on Jatropha curcas, a poisonous shrub-like tree that produces seeds considered by many to be a viable source of biodiesel feedstock oil. [ 130 ] Much of this research focuses on improving the overall per acre oil yield of Jatropha through advancements in genetics, soil science, and horticultural practices. SG Biofuels , a San Diego-based Jatropha developer, has used molecular breeding and biotechnology to produce elite hybrid seeds of Jatropha that show significant yield improvements over first generation varieties. [ 131 ] SG Biofuels also claims that additional benefits have arisen from such strains, including improved flowering synchronicity, higher resistance to pests and disease, and increased cold weather tolerance.

expected cash flow approach for provisions. We know that we have not completed our work on provisioning. In issuing our proposals, we stressed the need to gather further input on issues regarding complexity, cost, and operationality, as we seek to develop a workable expected loss model. We have established an Expert Advisory Panel, comprising the relevant regulatory and practical expertise, to ensure operational issues are addressed. We expect these consultations to lead to a final standard for provisions by the end of the year. We recognise that in addition to an improved expected loss model, prudential supervisors may seek more discretion to have banks hold back more capital for unexpected losses. It is for this reason that the IASB is discussing the possibility of providing regulators with additional information to meet their prudential objectives -- without compromising transparency. Specifically, we have suggested to the Basel Accounting Task Force that an additional Regulatory Income Statement could be required. The exact content would be agreed between the IASB and prudential regulators. The statement adjusts reported Net Profit after Tax for items relevant to regulators. Within such a statement it would be possible to include a 'through the cycle provision' for regulated entities. Such a 'provision' could be used by prudential regulators to ensure a counter cyclical approach by making regulated entities build up an undistributable capital reserve during the good times to be used during the bad times.

Various sources, including the Special Investigation Branch as well as evidences from Belgian reporters, said that rape and sexual harassment by British troops occurred frequently following the invasion of Sicily in 1943. [ 117 ] Although far from the scale of those committed by the Red Army, rapes on local women and girls were a common feature among British and Canadian troops during the last months of WWII in Germany. Even elderly women were targeted. Though a high-profile issue for the Royal Military Police , some officers treated the behaviour of their men with leniency. Many rapes were committed under the effects of alcohol or post-traumatic stress, but there were cases of premeditated attacks, like the assault on three German women in the town of Neustadt am Rübemberge, on 16 April 1945, or the attempted gang-rape of two local girls at gunpoint in the village of Oyle, near Nienburg , which ended in the death of one of the women when, whether intentionally or not, one of the soldiers discharged his gun, hitting her in the neck. [ 118 ] There were also reports of "sexual assault and offences" committed by British soldiers against children in Belgium and the Netherlands , when a number of men were convicted of these crimes while fraternizing with Dutch and Belgian families during the winter of 1944-45.

( Originally Posted by Ilikebacon ) I have some friends who only care about whether boys think they're 'fit' or not. They don't even care much about their studies.

She likes to wear very low-cut tops aswell. She once gave a boy in her year a BJ in the school toilets...classy. It's like she only goes to school to receive attention from boys. Funny thing is she has a boyfriend who goes to another school and he isn't even aware of how she acts. You would honestly think she doesn't have a bf considering how promiscuous she dresses and acts around other boys. I place my self worth on how much I help others and my academics. Surely if you base your self-worth on the number of males you attract, when you inevitably get used and dumped by these boys this will make you feel worthless?

Sports Hockey Players on the Rama Aces will not only be the inaugural skaters for the Greater Metro Hockey League (GMHL) Junior 'A' division expansion squad, but they will also get the opportunity to participate in some unique events during the 2012-13 season. Aces management has confirmed that the team will be making a weekend trip to New York in November during which they'll play a pair of exhibition matches against two U.S. schools, Canisus College and Mercyhurst University. The trip, which gets underway Nov. 9, will give the Aces' players and staff a chance to showcase their talents in front of some American college scouts and coaches who have in the past recruited from the GMHL. "(The cross-border trip) is a huge boost to our program and proves we are committed to helping our players reach the next level of their hockey and academic careers," said Aces president and GM Patrick Geary. On Nov. 10, the Aces will take on Canisus College in Buffalo. Canisus coach Steve Hurtubise is excited about hosting the Rama squad and to scout some future talent for their program. Following the game, the Aces will then travel to Mercyhurst to take in an ACHA game between the Mercyhurst Lakers and the West Virginia Mountaineers. On Nov. 11, the visiting club will tour the Mercyhurst campus in the morning, then take on the Lakers, featuring a couple of GMHL?alumni from the former Jamestown Jets, in the afternoon.

Resolved Question He doesnt care about me as much as I care about him? I feel as though I'm wasting my time, he takes at least 8 hours to respond to my texts, and doesn't seem caring when he does. He's always too busy for me and I always put in the effort to stay up late and wait for him to get home so we can spend time together, but he doesn't seem to care What does one do in this case? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker If this is happening, try to calm your emotions...and withdraw from him slightly. What this is sounding like is a misbalance of power. When one dominates and intimidates the other by withholding affection or caring... my ex used to do that to me towards the end of our relationship... and I think I know what the cause was!! Any time you show too much love, or make convosations too much agreeability, too much willingness to see them, too much desire to play around, too much telling your feelings it definately makes guys think of you as the under dog in the relationship, they get cocky and slowly lose interest whilst backing away, going days without texting you back... the way you can fix this is to show him that your okay without him! This means u have to mentally break up with him (without saying it)... so pretend you guys are just good friends who hook up or at least make

John you are in charge of IT for an organisation -- care to goad Anonymous or other group of script-kiddies and see how good your security really is?

There is ample material in this maze for every kind of domestic and imperial intrigue to topple the unwelcome victor of a popular contest.

Here too the directionless clerical state has left a scene of confusion. Since the end of the Iran -- Iraq War, its foreign policy has been little more than a ragbag of incoherent opportunism, combining conventional diplomacy of a cautious, typically collaborationist sort with largely costless gestures of solidarity to fellow-Shi'a abroad, principally Hizbollah in southern Lebanon, with crumbs for the Palestinians. Tehran was tactfully silent during the Gulf War of 1991, with not even a peep of complaint when us troops were stationed in the Holy Places. It instructed its surrogates in the Northern Alliance to pave the way for the American invasion of Afghanistan.

While these legal information engineers may sometimes be able to provide this themselves, you and other legal academics will probably be better placed to do so in a general way. Secondly, those seeking to specialise further and become `specialist advisors' may undertake at least part of their training at your law school. Thirdly, newsletter software in 2020 will probably be able to identify the potential for new fields of law to be developed. Because of fewer demands to produce value-added legal information of immediately obvious relevance to existing clients, you or your colleagues in academia may be able to lead developments in such new fields, at least initially. On the other hand, newsletter software may provide advance warning that entire areas of law may become increasingly obsolete. In such cases, of course, law schools will also have an important role in retraining. Finally, as well as receiving continuing education in substantive law (or legal information) per se, legal information engineers will come to learn how to deliver or repackage legal information for a very broad audience, since legal academics will continue to concentrate more on this. Related to this will probably be a greater involvement by law schools in professional legal education: practical training required before being admitted to the legal profession, whatever its precise contours by 2020. In Japan, the opportunity for this is already emerging following agreement in October 1997 to reduce the training period at the state-funded LTRI from two years to 18 months.

priests in the United States range from 15–58%. [ 12 ] [ 14 ] A 2002 Los Angeles Times nationwide poll of 1,854 priests (responding) reported that 9 percent of priests identified themselves as homosexual, and 6 percent as "somewhere in between but more on the homosexual side." Asked if a "homosexual subculture" (defined as a "definite group of persons that has its own friendships, social gatherings and vocabulary") existed in their diocese or religious order, 17 percent of the priests said "definitely," and 27 percent said "probably." 53 percent of priests who were ordained in the last 20 years (1982-2002) affirmed such a subculture existed in the seminary when they attended. [ 14 ] Anonymous studies have also suggested a prevalence of homosexual leanings in the Roman Catholic priesthood. Studies by Wolf and Sipe from the early 1990s suggest that the percentage of priests in the Catholic Church who admitted to being gay or were in homosexual relationships was well above the national average for the United States of America.

This way, when someone makes a request you'll be able to ask yourself "do I want to do this?" and receive a quick answer you can trust. If you're still not sure, don't feel pressured to answer one way or the other. Tell the person requesting your help that you need some time to think about it and make sure it's something you can do. If they're reasonable, they'll understand your position and appreciate that you're putting thought into your decision rather than simply rejecting them outright because you're not sure. Make No (Detailed) Excuses When saying "no", you'll be tempted to provide a reason because you don't want the person requesting your help to think you're so awful you'd just say no for no reason at all. But if you asked for help and someone said "no I can't", would you assume they're just declining arbitrarily? Probably not. That doesn't mean you should provide absolutely no context for your answer, but providing an excuse gives people a reason to contest your decision. For example: "I can't go with you on a sewer adventure to find the lost poop of Isaac the Rat King because I have to mow a lawn and paint a wall." In this highly unrealistic example, the person requesting your companionship on a gross adventure could offer to help you paint your wall and mow your lawn afterwards -- or perhaps even hire someone to do it for you if they were so inclined.

"We think about the food and the way food needs to be treated. So with coffee, if you're making espresso, then you need to have really precise control over the water temperature and water pressure because they're the things that govern cup quality.

so every passenger must get equal treatment, except in extreme cases. That's why it's so hard to shift potential bad guys from the Department of Homeland Security's much larger databases to TSA's selectee and no-fly lists. As a libertarian, I agree that we should be very leery of forbidding people to fly without good reason. But requiring potentially high-risk travelers to undergo secondary screening (especially since we do some of this randomly, in any case) is hardly the end of the world. In fact, shifting to a risk-based approach to aviation security would likely mean increased security and lower costs, both for the TSA and especially lower wasted-time costs for most travelers. Under a risk-based approach, air travelers would be divided into three groups: lower-risk, ordinary, and higher-risk. The three groups would be treated differently, for very good reason. Lower-risk people would be those with active government-issued security clearances and anyone who joined a risk-based "trusted traveler" program by passing an FBI background check and getting a biometric ID card. These people would get streamlined processing at airports, similar to what existed pre-9/11. (Note that TSA's sister agency within DHS, Customs & Border Protection, operates a number of similar programs for U.S. citizens returning to this country, such as the recently expanded Global Entry program.) Higher-risk people would be those placed on an expanded selectee list and would be subjected to mandated secondary screening, including a body scan, backed up (if necessary) by a full body search.

Even as austerity riots erupted in nations such as Greece and Spain, most Americans were still convinced that nothing like that could ever happen here. Well, guess what? Austerity has arrived in America. At this point, it is not a formal, mandated austerity like we have seen in Europe, but the results are just the same. Taxes are going up, services are being slashed dramatically, thousands of state and city employees are being laid off, and politicians seem to be endlessly talking about ways to make even deeper budget cuts. Unfortunately, even with the incredibly severe budget cuts that we have seen already, many state and local governments across the United States are still facing a sea of red ink as far as the eye can see. Most Americans tend to think of "government debt" as only a problem of the federal government. But that is simply not accurate. The truth is that there are thousands of "government debt problems" from coast to coast. Today, state and local government debt has reached at an all-time high of 22 percent of U.S. GDP.

Sprint Says It Is in Negotiations With SoftBank of Japan Two giants overwhelmingly dominate the wireless market in the United States. Now a merger deal is in the works that could produce a robust challenger. Sprint Nextel said Thursday that it was in discussions with SoftBank over a "potential substantial investment." The talks, which began this summer, center on SoftBank, a Japanese telecommunications company, paying $12.5 billion for a stake of about 70 percent in Sprint, according to a person briefed on the matter who was not authorized to speak publicly. The talks emerged just a week after Deutsche Telekom, the parent of T-Mobile USA, announced a reverse takeover of another smaller company in cellphone service, MetroPCS . The spate of deal-making is aimed at shifting the balance of power in a United States market largely controlled by Verizon Wireless and AT&T. They have more than 200 million customers -- more than their next six competitors combined. Article Tools Related Links As the No. 3 cellphone service provider, Sprint, with more than 56 million subscribers, has long struggled to catch up. In recent years, it has sought to compete primarily on price. But the T-Mobile-MetroPCS merger could create a tougher competitor in the lower end of the cellphone market.

I am soon starting up a PhD project on visual methods, sociology and fashion studies (a collaboration between KEA-Copenhagen School of Design and Technology and The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts -- The School of Design). I am very excited about that. I believe that photography is an important way to add another level of representation to a research project. It is also a potentially strong way to address socio-cultural issues and themes of race, class, exclusion and empowerment. In a photograph you are able to encode an enormous amount of information, as well as symbolically reflect themes and concepts.

You didn't explicitly state that deleting the opm.db file didn't have any effect, but I assume that was the case. If deleting the opm.db didn't have an effect, I don't really expect this will have an effect either, but please delete the "MBLStore" and "OOBE" folders found in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe and delete the "AdobeMuse" folder found in ~/Library/Preferences Then launch Muse.

literature is important enough to ban, suppress and censor. From the banning of Boris Pasternak to Ayatollah Khomeini's fatwa against Rushdie and the recent persecution of Taslima Nasrin and Nawal el-Sadaawi, they seem in no doubt that the free thought engendered by literature is sufficiently dangerous to be in need of severe control. Furthermore, and probably more importantly, to say that there are needs beyond the immediate is to extend the scope of what we should demand, rather than dilute it. In the words of the old union song, the cry of the striking women textile workers was: 'It is bread that we fight for, but we fight for roses too.' Culture, including the transformation of experience and the communication of made-up stories is what makes us human, what gives meaning and resonance to our lives. A recent remark by the social commentator Christopher Hitchens on the limits and the powers of the written word may serve as a closing thought on the vitality of literature: 'The sword, as we have reason to know, is often much mightier than the pen. However, there are things that pens can do and swords cannot. And every tank, as Brecht said, has a crucial flaw. Its driver. Suppose that driver has read something good lately, or has a decent song or poem in his head...' 7 Which brings us to a final word on the extracts and recommendations which you will read in the following pages.

That, and my doctor's prior explanation of why it was medically necessary and her assurance that she scheduled these tests as seldom as possible. I shudder to think what it would have been like had they been uncaring or hostile. I realize my case is not typical -- it's just one example of one individual's experience. But so is the experience of the "it's no big deal" patient. Everyone is different, and to mandate something like this with such blithe lack of concern for the women who may not need them is just cruel. It's meant to be a punishment, and congratulations to them, they succeeded. I hope they can sleep at night. To the psychologist saying that the waiting period was a good idea because it forced women to confront the enormity of what they were doing -- listen to yourself! Can you honestly think you are an unbiased care-giver? Do you not think that women can be trusted to think for themselves? I sincerely wonder whether some of the trauma you say your patients are experienced was inflicted, not by the abortion itself, but by the judgmental attitude of the person who is supposed to be helping them. The real purpose of the "waiting period" laws is to make it as difficult as possible to have an abortion. Many women have to travel long

to assess sexual desirability. "Women rate muscular men as sexier, more physically dominant and volatile, and less committed to their mates than nonmuscular men," the authors noted in their paper in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. I don't know about my volatility, but I've been committed to one woman for more than two decades. So there. The most interesting part of the study was the finding that "men with moderate muscularity are rated most attractive" and that the more brawny bodybuilder physique is deemed less desirable. Just one more reason to avoid anabolic steroids. So what do men prefer? A 2009 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology reveals that the No. 1 desired trait is for our mates to be thin. The study, which involved 4,000 men and women ages 18 to 70 looking at a series of photos, didn't say anything about women who are too thin, but judging by the frequent media backlash against stars who lose too much weight and based on my own anecdotal experience -- meaning what I chat about it with guys in the locker room -- I'd say retaining curves is good. Most men I know don't go for the praying mantis look. Overall, I don't believe there is anything wrong with using vanity to motivate you toward becoming a regular exerciser and improving your diet, as long as it's done in a mindful way that doesn't sacrifice health and performance.

Not sure if you've got bad breath? All you need is a spoon, a minute, and your sense of smell to find out. By scraping the back of your tongue with the tip of the spoon, letting the spoon dry, and then smelling it, you'll know if you stink or not. To give credit where credit is due, I found this tip on a (kind of annoying) Orabrush commercial I accidentally watched. Sceptical, I did a quick search and found that the tip has been recommended from a variety of sources. Just to make sure, I tried it out myself (see embarrassing photo evidence up top), letting my morning breath sit for a while. This trick does, indeed, work, and I am going to go brush the hell out of my mouth in a minute. But first, if the spoon test reveals your breath stinks then you need to start brushing your tongue -- and further back, too. It seems a lot of the smell you release when you breathe on your victims is the result of tongue buildup. So, you know, remember to brush it off. Mouthwash, gum and other minty smells will only help a little and mask the problem.

a phrase she learned from well-known Christian speaker Heidi Baker. "For me it is about listening to the Lord's promptings. Not being too busy in all the running around to stop and listen to a person or extend a helping hand or a smile." Basically, looking for anything brilliant. In her own words: Faith to me means [community / hope / food / sacrifice / art / etc] ... Taking God out for a spin. What I mean by that is ... Instead of simply staying in "first gear" all the time (being cautious, safe), I like giving God free reign and having him "bump up" the ride of my life. It means living audaciously, stupendously, risk-taking all the time. It means becoming a "thin place" or a portal between heaven and earth, wherein the supernatural and the miraculous are normal, everyday occurrences. It means the cyclical continuous flow of worship from my heart to the Father as He pours out His adoration upon me. It means reeking of His love to everyone I meet. As one of my modern day heroes Bill Johnson says, "No one is safe from a blessing wherever you are." Literally, allowing here on earth what exists in heaven -- love, joy, peace, healing, restoration, hope. Creating spaces for God to manifest His goodness.

Her flared nostrils steamed as each sound cleared itself in her mind; it was here she learned to live-out the seasons, waking in half-sleep to her own bleating, rising from the residue of a dream that has her leaping a cliff, falling it seems forever before impaling herself on a branch, blood blowing like the rapids that roared up at her, until she wakes unharmed, unsure of things, even the grass where she lay.

of a collect call, which callme in some ways replicates. As I have noted, in Jamaica it is expected, rather than rejected, that relationships are seen as having value that is commensurate with monetary value, and as such the mobile phone fits well within, rather than disrupts the bringing together of these two concepts of value, the measured and the intimate. One of the most popular anthropological concepts to be adopted by non-anthropologists undertaking sociological analysis is the concept of the gift and its associated principle of reciprocity as originally analysed by Mauss (Mauss 1954, Godelier 1999, Strathern 1988). For example it was recently applied to the analysis of phone usage by Taylor and Harper (2003). We spent considerable time and effort examining the consequences of callme , which we assumed would result in some sense of reciprocity and fairness akin to traditional anthropological treatments of the gift and reciprocity. But the evidence did not support our interpretation. Certainly we could find quotes that suggested a negative attitude towards the use of callme , particularly in terms of men's attempts to use this with women that they may be interested in. As an attractive young woman describes one of the men saved in her phone who sent her a callme text, "I think it was really cheap of him, if you want to talk to me, buy some credit simple as that.

giant squid have occasionaly been found in their stomachs, suggesting that they may well be cannibalistic. Step 3: Habitat Living between 300 and 1000 metres down the water in the darkness, the squid needs to ensure it stays at the right level. It does this by having ammonia in it's tissue which is lighter than water, giving it the buoyancy it needs. They move through the water with slow waves of movement through the fins, and when they want to move quickly they can push water through their funnel to jet propel them away from danger or towards food. Step 4: Mating The giant squid is thought to have quite a short life of about 3 years, breeding once in that time and then dying. To breed the male must find a suitable mate which he then approaches. His 1 metre penis comes out of his body and starts to stab at the females tentacles leaving behind string like tubes of sperm which burrow into the females arms, remaining there until the female is ready to produce her eggs. The males must be brave to do this as the females are usually a third bigger, and may well rip off some of the males arms with her sharp beak. Step 5: Fighting Squid are known to fight with sperm whales, but this is probably only ever in self defense.

But matters of fact alone are not sufficient to determine action, since they do not tell us what ends we ought to pursue. In the realm of ends, we need something other than reason. The agnostic will find his ends in his own heart and not in an external command. Let us take an illustration: Suppose you wish to travel by train from New York to Chicago; you will use reason to discover when the trains run, and a person who though that there was some faculty of insight or intuition enabling him to dispense with the timetable would be thought rather silly. But no timetable will tell him that it is wise, he will have to take account of further matters of fact; but behind all the matters of fact, there will be the ends that he thinks fitting to pursue, and these, for an agnostic as for other men, belong to a realm which is not that of reason, though it should be in no degree contrary to it. The realm I mean is that of emotion and feeling and desire. Do you regard all religions as forms of superstition or dogma? Which of the existing religions do you most respect, and why?

You can put something like a microwave or toaster on the top, and store a lot of pantry items on the shelves. Make Use of Every Nook and Cranny in the Bedroom What's great about the bedroom is that you probably have a lot of storage space already -- it just isn't being used effectively. Your closets are a great place to start: if you haven't filled them up with clothes, then you can fill them up with all sorts of other stuff. I originally put laundry and other linens in the closet and ran out of floor and shelf space quickly, so instead of doing that, put some shelves in your closet and make better use of your vertical space. Alternatively, you could get some easily stackable bins that fit in your closet and store stuff that way, too. Your laundry can go elsewhere. Then, make use of all the other space in your bedroom you don't necessarily see. I'm talking about behind doors, under your hanging clothes in the closet and under your bed.

Previous Post Next Post The art of a well-written blog post Whether you call it content marketing or blogging, reaching out with stories humanizes companies. It makes big companies feel more approachable and small companies stronger. Free, easily shareable content attracts prospects, which can be converted to customers -- and hopefully repeat buyers. Let's not mistake a well-written blog with advertising though. People read blogs (and share them with their friends) because the content resonates emotionally, not because it delivers the features and benefits succinctly. Get out of your way and get writing Writing a blog post is incredibly personal -- not because it's about yourself, but because it exposes your thoughts to the world. It lets us inside your head to see your thought process. Unlike a responsible journalist or technical writer, a blogger doesn't remove herself from the story. She participates in it, sharing openly what she thinks about the subject at hand. Your goal as a blogger is to share a piece of yourself with the reader, to connect emotionally while sharing a message. The main tools in your blogger's toolbox are truth, an eye for detail and the ability to write succinctly.

personally dislike the approach of games like skyrim, that tend to pack an amazing amount of repetitive content without particularly polishing anything or really thinking of the gameplay implications (as to give you "freedom"). There is an important distinction in sports and other similar activities, since the variety of functional actions is way smaller than the variety of possible strategic and theoretical actions, and the process for facing obstacles can vary greatly. Like chess, the physical game doesn't change at all, but as you point out the experience, expertise and process factor comes in. In the case of basketball, obviously bouncing the ball, then passing the ball and then running, can lead to a completely different outcome than running then bouncing the ball and then passing. And details go down to very precise bounces, steps, and speeds. This is a repetitive activity, but not necessarily a repetitive action. A lot of skyrim's challenges can be handled differently, although the problem I see in it is that for example to kill a dragon, there is a pretty established linear structure. In a way killing a dragon in skyrim feels like a repetitious chore UNLIKE when you face a witch in Left for dead. The witch although it never really changes its behaviour, it enforces players to change the playstyle drastically. It is not an "original enemy" but it triggers an original response from the players. This is a Repetitive -activity-, that can be deconstructed and requires original (non repetitive) -action-. Dragons

includes emails from that period it could help prevent a prolonged and stressful investigation. How - Whilst it's obviously important to define how the documents should be filed, you also need to consider the format they should be stored in. For example, if a document has been created in a word processor, it may be wise to store this in a format such as Adobe's PDF to ensure that it cannot easily be edited in the future. You may also find that you can strive towards an 'electronic by default' policy. For example, depending on your business you may benefit from the use of electronic signatures on contracts. As you should only be filing 'finished' documents, it's important to consider ways in which you can reduce the likelihood of tampering or at least make said tampering easier to detect. Certain documents may need to remain read/write but many may benefit from a read-only format. Retention Period - As important as it is to retain these documents, it's also very important to set a limit on how long they are retained for. This not only prevents the unnecessary build up of files, but also helps reduce the likelihood of someone deleting a document because they don't think it's needed any more. A well specified retention period ensures that documents should be available for the period in which they may be required, as well as providing adequate explanation should a file be required once it has been deleted.

The fast-track has lost much of its appeal for Generation Y who is willing to trade high pay for fewer billable hours, flexible schedules and a better work/life balance. While older generations may view this attitude as narcissistic or lacking commitment, discipline and drive, Generation Y professionals have a different vision of workplace expectations and prioritize family over work. Employers will need to adapt attraction/retention strategies and management techniques to better suit Gen Ys in order to allow them to flourish and engage in the workplace. It would be a huge oversight for current company leaders not to be proactively strategizing on how to add this highly impressive generation to their teams.

of his strength comes from this source, and that he owes to the ever-recurring demands of social life that unbroken tension of energy, that steadiness of aim in effort, which ensures the greatest return for his activity. But he could not do so, even if he wished to, because his memory and his imagination live on what society has im- planted in them, because the soul of society is inherent in the language he speaks, and because even if there is no one present, even if he is merely thinking, he is still talking to himself. Vainly do we try to imagine an individual cut off from all social life.

Children found increasingly inventive ways to raise money for a range of causes. By 1918 trails of copper pennies were a popular means of fundraising. Auckland and Wellington challenged each other to build a copper trail along the main trunk line to the other city. Schools along the way took part by encouraging each child to bring a penny to school. Progress was reported in newspapers throughout the year. Auckland won the contest. Children also helped by providing 'comforts' for the soldiers. They knitted and sewed socks and scarves to keep soldiers warm at the front. They also wrote letters and sent care packages to 'lonely' soldiers, ex-pupils of their school and other local men in service. Many received postcards in return and bonds were created between the classroom and the front line. tags How to cite this page: 'Supporting the war effort - schools in the First World War', URL: http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/war/children\\...

of Train Operating Companies (Atoc) said that although there would be engineering work on the railways, the vast majority of people expected to travel over the Christmas and New Year period should experience no disruption. They added that the number of replacement bus services needed will be almost half that of the festive period last year. Atoc chief executive Michael Roberts said: "A great deal of effort and planning goes into making sure that work to improve stations and make journeys faster and more reliable goes on while minimising disruption for our passengers. "This year, we have again been able to reduce the number of people who will have to get on to a replacement bus. Once again train companies have been working closely with NR to make sure that we keep people on trains wherever we can."

small closet-like bathroom. Her blood left a telltale trail behind him. The dark bathroom smelt of apples. A toilet flushed somewhere upstairs and the sound of the water rushed down to him through the open ventilation window. He dumped her in the bath tub and arranged her body so that it was in the foetal position, with her arms curled around her legs, switching on the bathroom light so he could admire his handiwork. The light flickered above his head and then flashed on, giving the scene a bright, harsh light. The room reminded him of the bathroom she'd locked him in, where he had so often cried himself to sleep, wet and cold, curled up in the tub. Conflicting emotions stirred within him. He felt triumphant, almost godlike staring down at his creation, but there was a part of him that wanted to scream out in pain at what he'd done. He shut his mind to the guilt that was making him weak. He needed to urinate, so he stood over the bathtub, unzipped his pants and sprayed over her body. Relief flooded over him. The joy of pissing on a woman like her made him smile. When he was done he zipped himself up and left the bathroom. He walked to the kitchen, leaving bloody footprints in his wake, retrieved his rucksack from the top of the kitchen counter and carried it back to the bathroom. He opened the bag and removed his digital camera. He placed himself

revolution that's now underway. The Harris Academy in Peckham has increased the number of students getting five good GCSEs -- from 12 percent when it was under local authority control to almost 90 percent now. The transformation has been astonishing -- and the methods have been Conservative. Smart uniforms, teachers in suits. Children taught physics, chemistry and biology not soft options. Children set by ability -- with excellence applauded, extra resources for those most in need but no excuses for slacking. When you see a school like that succeed it prompts the question: Why can't every school be that way? Why can't every child have those chances? It's not because parents aren't ambitious enough -- most of these schools are massively over-subscribed. It's because the old educational establishment -- the left-wing local authorities, the leaders of the teachers unions, the Labour party theorists -- stood in the way. When we saw a badly failing school in Haringey and wanted to turn it into an Academy, the Labour authority, the Labour MP and the teaching unions said no. When inspirational teachers and parents -- in Hammersmith, in Norwich, in Bristol and in Wigan -- wanted to open free schools, the left-wing establishment said no. When we proposed: More pay for good teachers... Getting rid of bad teachers... ...Longer school days to help children learn... Flexible school hours to help parents work...

And they say women are picky. Atgemis is still to marry despite myriad opportunities to meet women, especially given his background as the co-owner of a Sydney nightclub called Shh, which is known for its parade of attractive young socialites who can only get in by tottering up a dirty laneway strewn with garbage and divulging a secret code. And this is despite, by his own admission, having had three girlfriends who qualified as marriage material. "My expectations have been crushed every time because women do not conform to your ideas of what is perfect and, for a lot of guys, it is a search for perfection," he says. Atgemis recalls some advice his uncle gave him: "You're walking through a forest looking for a straight stick, but you're going to come through the other side empty-handed because there is no such thing as a straight stick." And his mother recently urged him to get on with it, prodding him about marriage. She pointed to his hairline, then his waist, before telling him, "You're going off. Find a wife, quickly." When Atgemis thinks about the topic some more, he postulates that maybe, deep down, what he is after is someone not so different from his mother - a modern version of her, someone "patient, caring, dutiful".

goals that seem out of the box. This is Not the Ivy League is a part of the American Lives Series edited by Tobias Wolff. I strongly recommend it. This is an amazing work, rendered in the most lovely language that seems to dance across the page like little ice shards. In this little book, she covers not only her struggle to become and remain an an academic under the most trying circumstances (often with the most unusual people), but she gives a wonderful, personal history of life in the West. You will meet her family who lived the hardscrabble ranch life, as she also did in her youth, you will be treated to the raw beauty of the West, and you will encounter a person who did her best to be who she was, no matter what. I can't recommend this book enough. Buy it, read it, review it, pass it on to your friends. Just in case you are wondering, I have never met Mary Clearman Blew; I was just lucky enough that my husband bought me the book. As is noted in the acknowlegements, almost every chapter in this book recounting the author's childhood and academic career first appeared in a literary journal, book or magazine.

How will I market myself and my business? Do I have enough contacts to go it alone? Building/refreshing your CV "Keeping your CV up to date and a portfolio of work is much easier when it is done regularly, rather than having a last-minute panic trying to remember key achievements and success stories," says Staniland. If you are considering moving from the public to the private sector, it is imperative that you understand the differences. For example, the public sector is still led by application forms whereas the focus is on a CV in the private sector. Staniland says many public-sector candidates will be thinking about job hunting for the first time in years and may have missed the importance of online networking and the emergence of the competency-based interview. Mills suggests that before writing your CV, you do your research. Study job adverts, talk to recruiters and business contacts to understand what their selection criteria are likely to be. Then write your CV with the aim of showing clearly how you meet those criteria. Collect examples of your recent achievements to include in your CV. Look at your key personal and team

Built right - from the ground up - great radio stations last a long time! By Marty Forbes Monday April 16, 2012 It's anniversary year in Edmonton radio. CISN FM turns thirty years old - followed a few months later by CKNG (Joe FM) which launched as CJAX FM - and then CFBR - The Bear turns a ripe twenty years old this September . Former 630 CHED 'legend' Bob McCord (and a LOCAL ownership group) took two kicks at the CRTC cat in the late 70's and early 80's for a new FM licence in Edmonton and the second application worked as they launched CISN FM in the spring of 1982. Over the years the station has been a perennial 'winner' of many industry awards, both in music and media, and has been at the top or near the top of the Edmonton for much of the past three decades. Many 'great' broadcasters came and went from the station in the past three decades and it has been sold a few times over but in 'all' cases the owners/managers/program directors realized the power of the station and the format and super served the listeners. Another benchmark for CISN is community service and there just isn't enough space in a blog like this to properly recognize the many innovative and creative ways that the station has helped in the Edmonton and Alberta rural communities.

I voted for the power because he said he needed it not to go to war but to keep the United States, the UN in line, to keep sanctions on Iraq and not let them be lifted. I, along with Dick Lugar, before we went to war, said if we were to go to war without our allies, without the kind of support we need, we'd be there for a decade and it'd cost us tens of billions of dollars. John McCain said, no, it was going to be OK. I don't have the stomach for genocide when it comes to Darfur. We can now impose a no-fly zone. It's within our capacity.

How can you ensure that your food lasts longer and keeps fresh? There are many things you can do, such as regularly clean your refrigerator and regularly check the food in there and also that you keep in the cupboards or anywhere else. But its not just about checking them. This cannot prevent anything. All you will be doing is throwing away food items before they stink up the entire kitchen. So, what can you do to keep the food fresh? Practical List of Tips for Ensuring Food is Cleaner and Fresher: 1) Spread some cloves on and around the marble surface of your kitchen, and also spread some cloves under the sink. Why? The Cloves keeps ants away. 2) Place some bay leaves inside your bags of dough, rice and the rest of the packs that insects prefer. Why? Bay leaves keep insects and other such lice away from food products. By placing bay leaves inside the packets, we ensure that insects do not reside there. But please remember to change the bay leaves once every three months. 3) Place half a potato in the refrigerator. Why? If there is any kind of bad smell from food or cooked items, the half potato will absorb it. To make sure that this works, remember to exchange the potato every three days. 4) Store eggs with the pointed side down. Why? Storing eggs with the pointed side down keeps them fresh for a longer period. 5) Place a few cubes of

primer on open source legal issues. International Free and Open Source Software Law Review offers peer-reviewed information for lawyers on free software issues. Richard Stallman, a supporter of the free software movement, was one of the free software and open source movement advocates who proposed an alternative to the private models prevalent in the industry. After developing a non proprietary operating system called GNU, Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation in 1983. For most of the 1970s and 1980s, organizations such as AT&T, with their Unix operating system initiative, have promoted a policy of shared source code. Linus Torvalds then built upon Stallman’s development in the late 1980s and created the Linux operating system that he released under Stallman’s GNU General Public License. This enabled open source programmers to improve, modify, and develop his system. [ 14 ] The Open Source Initiative (OSI) was also instrumental in the formalization of the Open Source Movement. The OSI was founded by Eric Raymond and Bruce Perens in February 1998 with the purpose of providing general education and advocacy of the open source label through the creation of the Open Source Definition that was based on the Debian Free Software Guidelines. The OSI has become one of the main supporters and advocators of the open source movement. [ 15 ] In February 1998 the open source movement was adopted, formalized, and spearheaded by the Open Source Initiative (OSI), an organization formed to market software “as something more amenable to commercial business use” [

TALK, DANCE Talking while dancing is distracting and creates a lack of presence in the moment ... for your partner as well as those around you. Save the conversation for when the music stops. Teaching or correcting your partner is particularly inappropriate on the dance floor at a milonga. Save it for a practica or step outside of the milonga space to review, if need be. We encourage everyone to follow these simple rules ... for safety and to provide an environment conducive to the quest for the 'transcendent experience of tango'. Relax and take it slowly. You don't need to demonstrate your tango prowess on the social dance floor. Less is more. Too much energy disturbs the flow of the whole crowd. You are not alone in the room, learn to feel the whole space as you dance. You are not entitled to do as you please; we are, after all, a community of dancers. (Every Tango community has to address floorcraft at one point. The above is my own version, order and emphasis ... but based on various web articles on this subject).

What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Human activities are shown by atmospheric scientists to be responsible for increasing the amount of carbon dioxide CO 2 in the atmosphere. The major sources of human emissions are the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas for industry, driving our transport, heating our homes and generating electricity. Humans produce between 3 and 6% of all carbon dioxide emissions. Natural carbon sources produce much larger quantities than mankind, but this is offset by the vast natural carbon sinks that remove CO 2 from the air. The current imbalance is due to human activity. We know where the increase comes from because CO 2 from fossil fuels has a specific chemical signature, and scientists have observed that the proportion of CO 2 from fossil fuels in the atmosphere has increased globally, and even more in cities and populated areas. Human emissions are not the only factor, but it is currently the most significant. For example, human emissions of CO 2 are more than 130 times greater than the amount released by volcanic eruptions. Burning wood or allowing trees to rot does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as long as old trees are replaced by new ones which absorb as much carbon as the old ones had done. This is essentially part of the natural cycle, in which carbon is continually added to and removed from the atmosphere But deforestation does increase the

The many sides of Mel Brooks He's a specialist in Russian literature, produced some of the most respected dramas of the modern age including The Elephant Man and, at one time, had his sights set on the Oval Office. Yet fame came to Mel Brooks in the form of farce and flatulence, and for that, the veteran actor, writer, producer, director and comedian remains eternally grateful. "I found my true joy telling jokes and making people laugh -- but I took a few left turns along the way." Speaking from his Los Angeles office prior to the release of his latest DVD collection, The Incredible Mel Brooks -- a motley assembly of early interviews, forgotten performances and career tributes available in stores this week -- Brooks says he was always drawn to public service, especially in the wake of seeing former U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt for the first time as a young man. "I remember I was six years old and he was on his way to Williamsburg (Va). We were taken out of school and we lined the sidewalks," says Brooks, with a flush of nostalgia audibly surging through his veins. "He had this cigarette holder jauntily jutting up and his hat had the brim up, and he'd wave from side to side in an open car. And I said to my mother, 'Ma, he looked at me. He really looked straight at me!'" Brooks's boyish, effervescent tone bubbles over the phone line. "He came from a very
