I wish you could see the amount of things that are swirling around in my head at any time; it's scary even to me!
Entering in to the one word challenge, I did not choose the word MORE half-heartedly or randomly.
Me: so much stuff is happening, sometimes I'm not sure what you want from me. Where are you leading me?
God: I want MORE of you; I will direct your paths; I will show you what you should be doing.
Me: MORE (smiling)...Yes that seems so right. If I acknowledge you in everything, you will direct my paths.
God: Yes, trust me MORE; read my word MORE; pray MORE; pray as a family together MORE; pray as husband and wife MORE.
Me: I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'm committing it to you. We're on this journey together.
When I woke up I posted my one word post and the following day during my quiet time I read Psalms 19: 7-11. (BTW, the first time I heard these verses was in a song; its such an old song I couldn't find it on youtube).
7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
MORE to be desired are they than gold......that would be Law of the Lord, his testimony, his statutes, commandments, fear and judgement - are priceless and have greater value than anything we can think of; and when we keep his commandments there is great reward to us and those around us.
It was such a confirmation and was as if the Lord was speaking directly to me and answering my question from the previous night.
Have you ever had conversations with God? What has He revealed to you? Do you typically receive confirmation?
My post right now is called Sweet Confirmations! We are thinking alike!
I want more too, when it comes to HIM.


Objective. To determine whether e/Tablets (wireless tablet computers used in community oncology clinics to collect review of systems information at point of care) are feasible, acceptable, and valid for collecting research-quality data in academic oncology.
Data/Setting. Primary/Duke Breast Cancer Clinic.
Design. Pilot study enrolling sample of 66 breast cancer patients.
Methods. Data were collected using paper- and e/Tablet-based surveys: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy General, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast, MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT), Self-Efficacy; and two questionnaires: feasibility, satisfaction.
Principal Findings. Patients supported e/Tablets as: easy to read (94 percent), easy to respond to (98 percent), comfortable weight (87 percent). Generally, electronic responses validly reflected responses provided by standard paper data collection on nearly all subscales tested.
Conclusions. e/Tablets offer a valid, feasible, acceptable method for collecting research-quality, patient-reported outcomes data in outpatient academic oncology.


Wedding favours have come a long way from their origins. Back in the day, a little bag of sugared almonds in pretty pastel colours was what guests received. It was a thank-you gift to the guest from the bride and groom for attending their wedding day.
But things have moved on a bit since then.
Possibly one of the first things you need to really consider is whether you need wedding favours at all. If you're on a strict budget, then they really are something you can do without. It might be better to put the money towards your food and drinks budget bill instead.
Be practical. Think about how your guests are getting to your wedding and how they are getting home again. If people are flying to your venue or using public transport, then a pot of home grown herbs or honey might not be the best option!
You don't want to see your carefully crafted (or budget-breaking) wedding favours left behind on the tables by your guests when they leave, do you? So make sure your wedding favours are beautiful, useful or both.
Delicious and chewy French confections that are halfway between a biscuit and a sweet. If you like baking then you could DIY macaroons yourself with a bit of practise. You can choose flavours to suit you like lemon, chocolate, coffee or raspberry, then package them up with handwritten labels in a cellophane bag or small box. Here's a useful recipe to try.
You could ditch favours for adults and just give them to children, by providing the kids' table with some well-thought out gifts.
Be a bit more imaginative than sweets. It's a good idea to give children some sort of activity they'll enjoy.
We think these place mats for kids at weddings are genius. Make sure you have plenty of coloured pens in pots on the table so the youngsters can be busily (and hopefully quietly) employed during the speeches!
If you've lost somebody close to you or somebody has been ill, then you might want to give the money you would have spent on wedding favours to support a particular charity instead. The charity in question will be able to help you with printed cards like the one below or you can make your own.
Reducing our use of plastics is very much in the news at the moment and it's something we all need to work towards. We really like the idea of giving metal water bottles away as wedding favours, particularly if you're marrying in the summer. Buy in bulk (we've found some here for just £2.38 each) and add personalised labels on each (you could have the bottle personalised too).
If your guests have travelled to your wedding, putting beautifully scented mini soaps at each place setting would be a considerate idea. That's a thought that would work well for both male and female guests (and be lightweight to carry as well).
Put a candy-striped bag at each place setting, with a stick-on label (you can make these or have the bags personalised) stating the wedding couples' name and then the message 'fill up with goodies at the sweetie bar' or something similar.
Then have a sweetie table beautifully laid out with everyone's favourite sweets. You could do this instead of a chocolate fountain, which can get a bit messy to be honest!
Nobody can resist a pick-n-mix and all ages will enjoy gathering around the table and picking out their favourites it can also be an ice-breaker too.
Our stylists have created and organised several sweet/ desert tables for weddings and have plenty of ideas to help you!

Nápoles es el nombre de una familia portuguesa cuyas raíces se encuentran en el Reino de Nápoles.

Reivindicada ramal secundario de la real Casa de Anjou-Sicilia, de los reyes de Nápoles, Nápoles desciende de Esteban de Durazzo (reivindicado hijo menor de Juan, Duque de Durazzo, gobernante del Reino de Albania, y nieto de Carlos II de Nápoles), que se trasladó a Portugal durante la primera mitad del siglo XIV para unirse a las filas del Rey Afonso IV en la batalla del Salado.

La rama principal de la familia en Portugal es la de los Señores de la Honra de Molelos, nombrados Vizcondes de Molelos por el rey Juan VI de Portugal y más tarde elevados a Condes de Molelos por el rey Miguel I, en reconocimiento de su apoyo a la facción tradicionalista durante las Guerras Liberales. Entre sus miembros están Leonardo Estêvão de Nápoles, Henrique Esteves da Veiga de Nápoles y Francisco de Paula de Tovar e Nápoles, el  Vizconde de Molelos.

Perfectly catered for family stay, village is ideal and beach is perfect and within a few minutes walk. Hope to return next year!
Owner's reply: Thank you for your review - it was great to have you stay and that you had a good holiday and hope to hear from you again.
Superb former coast guard cottage, sat on the garden bench having coffeee looking out over wonderful views of the sea and over Gorran Haven hard to beet that especially as it was January!! Cottage has everything you may need and is furnished and decorated to a high standard especially enjoyed the log burner in the evening very nice. We went for my birthday on arrival found a card and a lovely bottle of wine little things like this make this a lovely place to stay and we will be going back soon.
Owner's reply: Thank you for your kind review and I am delighted you enjoyed your birthday and beat the rain. I look forward to hearing from you again.
This cottage is a really well equipped, cosy and inviting. It has fabulous views over the sea, harbour and headland with coastal walks from the village. Gorran Haven is a delightful Cornish village with all the amenities that were need for a very relaxing break. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the delightful gardens especially sitting in the front garden drinking in the views.
We stayed in Horizons in March and found no problem using the small layby as Carolyn suggests for parking. The local shop was well equipped and we used it every day, also the Asda in St Austell is massive! Good walks on the doorstep, close to all the best places to see in Cornwall and the Northern coast is not far either. Local pubs: try The Barleysheaf - good local ales and cider - food was good too. Also The Crown in nearby St Ewe was a lovely old pub .
A recently renovated coastguard cottage, completed with evident love and thoughtfulness. The nearby cliffs and beaches make for first-rate walking and relaxing. Its proximity to, in particular, the Lost Gardens of Heligan is a definite bonus. If it is this good in November, what must it be like in the Spring and Summer?
Owner's reply: Thank you for your review and acknowledging our effort in making a warm, comfortable home. This was much appreciated.
The pretty cottage had everything we needed and was very clean and well presented. It is ideally located for the beach, the lovely little shops and the surrounding countryside which is great for walking. We didn't take the car out for the first four days! The people in the village were all really helpful and the shops sold everything we needed including mugs of tea and coffee that we could take onto the beach!. We were so lucky with the weather!
There were four of us plus the dog. We enjoyed our stay here as the cottage had recently been refurbished to a high standard and was clean and comfortable with everything we needed in the way of home comforts. We had fantastic Easter weather and enjoyed sitting in the sunny front garden with our morning coffee. The kitchen is well-stocked, there's a good shower and a very comfortable sitting room with a woodburner. The bedrooms are very pretty though the third bedroom would best sleep a child or small adult. It's an ideal cottage if you want a day off from too much activity or the weather keeps you indoors as it's perfectly cosy and comfortable for relaxing, reading, watching TV or playing board games. It's a short walk downhill to the small harbour and local facilities which includes an excellent fish and chip shop! There are lovely coastal walks and within driving distance there is plenty to explore including some great beaches, The Eden Project and Heligan Gardens.

Ashraf Ali Thanwi
Indian Muslim scholar
Ashraf Ali Thanwi (1862–1943) was an Indian Sunni Islamic scholar, author, jurist and a Sufi mentor of the Chishti order. He was an alumnus of the Darul Uloom Deoband, and authored several hundred books including Bayan Ul Quran and Bahishti Zewar.
QuotesEdit
People are excessively obsessed with dreams. Their concern for things which they dream is greater than their concern for things which effect them during their state of wakefulness. How confused are they!
Ashraf Ali Thanwi (2015), Hayatul Muslimeen, Adam Publishers and Distributors, p. 220
The primary purpose of Tasawwuf is the reformation of the actions of the heart.
Amir Bashir (December 2015). Muhammad Anwar Khan Qasmi (ed.). "Deobandi Sūfi Doctrine: Towards a Comprehensive Understanding of Tasawwuf within the Context of Tawhīd and Sunnah". Islamic Literature Review. Deoband: Deoband Institute of Islamic Thought. 2 (2): 3.
Knowledge prevents one from going astray because of the realization of the truth. This in itself is a great treasure.
Ashraf Ali Thanwi, Hayātul Muslimeen p. 4
Lowering oneself, which is called Tawaadhu' (humilty), is a great and valuable asset. To achieve this quality, many of the servants of Allah abandoned their kingdom and empire. They didn't care in the least what people thought of them. Surely, humility must then be a much-prized quality so that people gave it preference to it over the entire world!
Discourses of Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf 'Ali Thanwi, Islamic Promotions,p.9
A scholar is an adherent of the Sunnah.
Ashraf Ali Thānwī, The road to Allāh, p. 7
The seeking of wealth for a valid reasons is exhorted and is full of significance. Lawful wealth too plays its part in the acquisition of peace of mind, which is an end desired by the religion.
Ashraf Ali Thānwī, Hayātul Muslimeen , p.44
To assume a task beyond one's capability is not proper for a Mu'min. The consequence will be failure, disgrace, worry, and shame. Frustration will then overtake one.
Ashraf Ali Thānwī, Hayātul Muslimeen p. 66
Without the head, man is a dead body. So too, without prayers, all other acts of worship are lifeless.
Ashraf Ali Thānwī, Hayātul Muslimeen p.71
"Remembrance creates and strengthens a special bond between man and His Creator."
Mosques are not places for mundane activities. Mosques are erected purely for the remembrance and worship of Allah.
"The reality of character is that we must not cause any form of difficulty and inconvenience to anyone, outwardly or inwardly, in his presence or in his absence."
Ashraf Ali Thānwī (Kamālāt-e-Ashrafiyyah, p.93,)
If by practicing on any form of piety, someone's heart will be broken, then practice on the fatwa (verdict of the scholars). At such occasions, to protect one' piety is not permissible e.g. If, in accepting any gift, there is disgrace for you and honour for your brother, then give preference to his honour over yours.
Ashraf Ali Thānwī, Kamālāt-e-Ashrafiyyah p.93
The enthusiasm which I had for debating in my young days is now replaced by as much aversion for it because of its harms.
Ashraf Ali Thānwī, Ashraf-as-sawānih p. 39
I developed enthusiasm for Dīn - of which tahajjud is one branch.
Energizing one's intellect and disposition is not the way to success. The kindness of the Master cannot be achieved without humility.
Ashraf Ali Thānwī, Ashraf-as-sawānih p.41
Scholars are much needed as they are the backbone of religion. Scholars are more needed than Saints otherwise no one would know the religious ordinances and limits.
Ashraf Alī Thānwī, The life and teaching of Mawlānā Ashraf Alī Thānwī p.26
Saints (Sufis) are like elder brothers and Senior scholars (Fuqaha) are like father in respect.
Ashraf Alī Thānwī, The life and teaching of Mawlānā Ashraf Alī Thānwī ,p. 27
Keep intellect above your habits, and Shari'ah above your intellect.

Finding Mexico's Missing Billionaires
Kerry A. Dolan Forbes Staff
He never made the list: Former Mexican President Carlos Salinas
Back in the late 1990s when I was running the Forbes World Billionaires' list, Mexicans would ask me why the list didn't include former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari or any of the country's drug dealers. Salinas was rumored to have benefitted from privatizations of large state companies like phone company Telmex –but this was never proven. (Telmex was taken private in 1990 by Southwestern Bell and Carlos Slim Helu, now the world's richest man, and is today owned by Slim's America Movil ). As for the drug dealers, no one man rose to prominence back then. A few years ago Forbes was able to confidently put Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman Loera, the head of the Sinaloa cartel, on our list, with a net worth of $1 billion.
There are still Mexican billionaires missing from our list –this time intentionally so. These are family fortunes spread across a large number of shareholders or across several generations. When Forbes began tracking global wealth in 1987, we lumped fortunes shared by nuclear families into one listing. The Walton family, for example. As we learned more about how various Walton family members owned shares of Wal-Mart , and as Sam Walton's children grew into adults with fortunes of their own, we broke those fortunes apart into individual holdings. For our billionaires' list, we deliberately avoid including billion-dollar fortunes that are shared across several generations of a family, or that are shared by a very large number of family members, like the Rothschilds of European banking fame.
We have included Mexico's Jeronimo Arango and his two brothers as one shared fortune because we don't know exactly how the three brothers divvied up the money they made when Wal-Mart's Mexican unit bought the majority of retailer Cifra, which the Arango family controlled, in 1997. They make our list because it's safe to say that by sharing in a $4 billion fortune, each brother is worth at least $1 billion.
So who's missing?
The Martin Bringas family. According to documents filed with the Mexican stock exchange, seven siblings who are members of the Martin Bringas family share in a fortune worth $3.5 billion (using the stock price from March 25), derived from ownership of publicly traded retailer Soriana. The seven: Francisco Javier Martin Bringas, Juan Jose Martin Bringas, Pedro Luis Martin Bringas, Carlos Eduardo Martin Bringas, Ana Maria Martin Bringas, and Maria Teresa Martin Bringas.
The Martin Soberon family. Four siblings -- Alberto, Armando, Gerardo and Maria Rosa Martin Soberon –share in a $1.7 billion fortune that lies in the value of their stake in retailer Soriana.
Cynthia and Bruce Grossman. These siblings share a fortune worth nearly $1.5 billion from ownership of Grupo Continental, a Coke bottler and maker of Jugos del Valle juices. Their late father Burton Grossman founded Grupo Continental and they inherited his stake.
The Jorba Servitje family. Through their stake in baked goods giant Grupo Bimbo, this family is worth $1.1 billion. Jaime Jorba was one of the four founders of Grupo Bimbo in 1945. Last year Bimbo announced it was buying the bakery business of Sara Lee (NYSE:SLE) for $959 million. (Grupo Bimbo CEO Daniel Servitje Montull & family is a member of the billionaires list, with a net worth of $3.5 billion)
There may be other Mexican family fortunes that we have missed. If so, I'd love to hear about them. You can email me at kdolan [at] forbes.com

Shell, Philippines' $1.2B Tax Dispute Heads To World Bank
Jul 22nd, 2016
By Bryan Koenig
Law360, Washington (July 21, 2016, 6:30 PM ET) — A Royal Dutch Shell PLC unit on Wednesday took its $1.2 billion tax recalculation dispute with the Philippines' Commission on Audit over the gas-to-power Malampaya project the company operates to a World Bank arbitration dispute body.
The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes records show that Shell Philippines Exploration BV initiated the arbitration proceedings, registered Wednesday, against the Republic of the Philippines over the taxation of a hydrocarbon concession.
While the records show no other details, they appear to relate to the audit commission's spring…

MANILA, Philippines – The local unit of Royal Dutch Shell PLC wants an international arbitration body to settle its tax dispute with the Philippine government involving the former's Malampaya deep water gas-to-power project.
Data from the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) showed that on July 20, Shell Philippines Exploration BV filed a request for an arbitration case against the Philippine government over "taxation [on] hydrocarbon concession]."
The request is still pending before ICSID.
In 2009, the Philippine Commission on Audit (COA) report on the Department of Energy (DOE) showed P53.14 billion ($1.2 billion) in unpaid corporate income taxes from the Malampaya concessionaire, composed of Shell Philippines, Chevron Malampaya LLC, and state-owned PNOC Exploration Corporation.
The DOE had earlier argued that these liabilities are already covered by the 60% share remitted by the department from 2002 to 2009, the period of exploration.
The Malampaya group then appealed the 2009 findings, but COA rejected the petition for review.
COA upheld its findings in April 2015, and ordered the Malampaya consortium to pay the government P53.14 billion ($1.2 billion) in taxes.
Second arbitration case
In September last year, Shell filed an arbitration case with the Singapore International Arbitration Center over the Malampaya tax dispute.
Rappler sought Shell Philippines and DOE for comments, but could not be reached as of posting.
A news report, however, quoted a Royal Dutch Shell statement, acknowledging the new arbitration proceedings.
"We can confirm that Shell Philippines Exploration BV (SPEX) has filed a request for arbitration with the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID)," a Law 360 news report quoted Shell as saying in a statement.
"The case has been filed pursuant to the bilateral investment treaty between the Philippines and the Netherlands," the statement added.
The Malampaya project fuels 3 natural gas power plants with a combined capacity of 2,700 megawatts (MW), equivalent to about 36% of Luzon's power generation requirements.
The government and the consortium, which wants a 15-year extension of its service contract to 2039, are discussing the issue.
The license granted to the Malampaya consortium to conduct exploration and drill activities under Service Contract 38 is valid until 2024.
The Washington-based ICSID, established in 1966 by the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States, describes itself as "an independent, depoliticized and effective dispute-settlement institution."
"ICSID provides for settlement of disputes by conciliation, arbitration or fact-finding. The ICSID process is designed to take account of the special characteristics of international investment disputes and the parties involved, maintaining a careful balance between the interests of investors and host States," it said in its official website. – Rappler.com

Putting 2 and 2 together, Jeff Atwood appears to have paid* a fairly large (to me) sum to acquire the superuser.com domain. I wonder how much Microsoft paid for bing.com?
I switched my default search engine to Microsoft's new beta search engine yesterday. Today I switched back to Google. Not that bing was all that bad – to be honest I couldn't see much difference between what it gave me and what I see from Google. The background picture, which I guessed was of some Greek island yesterday (it's somewhere different, but similarly attractive today) was certainly pleasant.
The killer was that after Firefox (3.0.10) reported that the page load was "Done" (and the results certainly seemed to be present) there was a delay – during which time FF froze completely – of about 12 seconds, after which my browser shook itself and woke up.
Bing could be the best search engine in the world ever and I'd still not use it if that delay were present. I can't believe it occurs for all users for all browsers but I'm only me and I prefer FireFox. It could be some interaction with one or more of my – fairly standard – plugins. Maybe I'll try it again when the beta is done.
* Unless of course he was tweeting about another one, which is entirely possible.
Browsers++, eh? Google have launched their browser, in beta form at least. Of course, "beta" for Google doesn't always mean what it means for others – is gmail still in beta, by the way?
Getting warm, getting warmer, oops!
Ah well, it is a beta, after all. And it appears that the crash may have occurred at the run-after-install bit, since by the time it happened I had a desktop icon that seems – touch wood – to work.
A little detail that I really appreciated was that the install option page included a setting to make Chrome my default browser but it was unchecked by default. Nice one.
And then it just mostly worked. Some minor issues with font sizes, which seemed to randomly apply changes across tabs when I zoomed in or out using Control +?- or Control-mousewheel, but otherwise my regular stuff all seemed to render pretty well, internal or external.
It appears that the Chrome rendering engine shares the same standards book as Firefox's – both render our IE-specific corporate intranet home page with the same set of "errors". I tried looking to see what in the CSS was causing the problem but my limited skills weren't up to the task. But while I was searching the source, which on a right-click/"View Source" request opens in a new browser window, which is nice, I discovered something nice. Nothing earth-shattering, but nice. I hit Control-F, which did what I expected, typed a few characters and the page was scrolled to the first found instance. As expected. Then I noticed something.
See what they did? No? Look at the vertical scroll bar. That's a really nice touch. I like the way the "what to find" box organically grows from the surround too, and the animation is smooth, too. I suppose they could have made it slightly bouncy, in the way that Flash apps seem to like to work these days, although that can make one a little nauseous when over-done.
Oh, and another little plus on the view-source-in-the-browser thing is that links to, for example, stylesheets, are navigable. That removes a tiny piece of Firefox excise that I didn't previously even know existed.
I'm sure there are all sorts of other little things. The address-bar within each tab may prove to be a boon, and the process-per-tab thing could be useful, although I can't say crashing ranks very highly on my list of browser annoyances. We'll have to keep sucking it to see.
I won't be deleting Chrome. Neither will it be elevated to the status of default browser in the short term – I'm far too fond of my little set of FF add-ins. When Chrome has features that give me the capability provided by, at least, AdBlock, Firebug and Greasemonkey then we may be in business. But I think it's going to be something of an uphill struggle until something really compelling and unique is offered. The thing is, Windows users who cared have already switched from IE to (mostly) Firefox and I don't see a reason, other than possibly the bleeding-else coolness, to change again.
At least, I don't see the compelling reason to switch yet.


I'm turning 36 this summer and, until now, didn't really make skin care a priority. I was blessed with good skin thanks to my Moroccan father. But in the last year, I've noticed changes and decided I needed to take a proactive step to maintaining my face's youthful features. I've heard some amazing reviews about Zahara Day Spa, a small boutique spa located downtown in the "JC Village" neighborhood. Funny enough, the owner Najat is Moroccan! It was like a match made in heaven.
I made an appointment for a Friday and took a much needed "me day." I walked into the spa – it's super cute and quaint – and was greeted with some green tea and cookies. I didn't feel like I was in Jersey City.
The whole experience was fantastic!! My skin was glowing and radiant, and I can't wait to go back for more. They offer various services like body treatments, massages, and more! The owner Najat is an amazing woman and her beauty standards are unparalleled. I am telling you, I was reluctant in sharing my experience because I feel like this place should be nestled in the Hollywood Hills. It's that good.
Zahara Day Spa also offers their own skin care line! So make sure to give them a visit and support this local business.
You can find Zahara Day Spa at 403 Monmouth St in Jersey City. Find more information on their website, Instagram, and Facebook.

My Adelaide life
At Play Our Wellbeing People of Adelaide
Adelaide is as diverse in its people, as it is in what it offers. We asked two international students to share why they chose Adelaide to study and live, and their favourite city finds.
Why Adelaide?
I chose to study in Adelaide because of the Bachelor course I'm doing – it's a globally recognised course. My father had also done the same course – he is a University of South Australia graduate! Coming to Adelaide - somewhere I'm unfamiliar with - was scary. But when I first arrived, people were very welcoming. It was the first time being alone in a foreign country, so that was really nice. One of the things I love about Adelaide is how the city is structured and planned. You can find everything easily.
What are you up to right now?
Currently, I'm President of UniSA's International Student Business Society: Malaysian Chapter. ISBS caters for the welfare and development of the field of business for students, particularly Malaysians in Adelaide. We organise social and business-related events for students to have a platform to network, gain more business insights and have fun! I'm also a Student Ambassador for StudyAdelaide and help out with their social media. Despite my commitments and responsibilities, I strive to study hard, obtaining a CGPA of 6.50 and UniSA's Chancellor's Letters of Commendation.
Favourite city discovery
Free bike rentals from Bike SA around the university! We can bike around the entire day, and then return it at the end of the day. Also, Adelaide is surrounded by the Park Lands. And I particularly love Victoria Park (Pakapakanthi / Park 16) because you can get a really good view of sunset in the evening, and that, for me, is a really good discovery.
Tips for new students
Put yourself out there, just go for it! Join clubs, be in executive positions, go to networking events, or any events. At the end of the day, you can tell yourself, "Yeah, I didn't just get an education. I improved myself in ways that I didn't imagine possible." I think that's much more rewarding than getting a high GPA.
Tracey Trang Vu
I've been living in Adelaide for more than two years, completing a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Marketing at the University of Adelaide. I chose this university as it's in the top one per cent of the world's universities.
I enjoy Adelaide's convenience. Everything is within a five-minute walk. The student life here is so vibrant with lots of affordable amenities and a variety of places to eat and go on the weekends. As a student, living in the city is also really affordable. You can walk to what you need, catch a free bus around town and there's lots of cheap food options available, plus Chinatown for buying groceries.
I recommend Adelaide as a study destination, especially for international students. It's provided me with a wide range of opportunities. If you put yourself out of there and open up, you'll find Adelaide is not just a place, it's your home.
I finished my degree at the University of Adelaide last year and I'm in a graduate program with a local packaging company. This is really my dream, because I can experience the local working environment but still get exposure to the global scene.
The State Library. When you walk into the State Library, it's new and modern. Then, a small corridor leads you into the old wing. Walking through it takes you into a whole new world (Mortlock Wing, State Library of South Australia).
Register for a free tour by the City of Adelaide where a local tour guide will take you around the city. Also, befriend locals to learn more about the city and life here. Finally, seek help and support from your university and other organisations like Study Adelaide – it's free!

Divorce Mediation Options: Family Court Child Custody Mediation or Private Counseling?
The goal of mediation is to help you and your spouse come to agreements regarding your children. Assuming you and your spouse are in agreement, you can choose to opt out of working with a family court mediator and instead retain a private mediator. Your other route is to file a Request For Order (RFO) for child visitation with Family Court and attend mediation or child custody recommending counseling (CCRC).
Sign up for a free Hello divorce membership to learn more about which type of mediation is better suited for your divorce with advice from experienced co-parenting therapist Alison Urdan.
A licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and survivor of domestic violence, Alison works to improve the lives of children through her work in divorce and child custody actions. Alison found herself in her own family court custody battle that lasted for fourteen years which led to her getting certified and trained in custody evaluations. Being in the family court system is extremely stressful and Alison believes the best road to take is to stay out of family court if at all possible. Parents should do all they can to work things through together keeping their child(ren)'s needs and best interests in mind.

Paul McCartney's old school Literature book sells for £46,800
By redazione on	 27 March 2019 News
A school book Sir Paul McCartney used as a teenager has sold for £46,800 – nearly 10 times its estimate.
The exercise book – which features a doodle of a man smoking and a teacher's critical comments – sold at an auction of Beatles memorabilia in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside.
One of Sir Paul McCartney's old school books, which contains notes and grades written in by his English literature teacher, will be sold at auction next week. (Source NME – Omega auctions)
Omega Auctions in Merseyside will conduct the sale at 11AM on Tuesday (March 26) as part of their 'The Beatles Collection: Memorabilia & Vinyl Records' auction, with the auction house estimating that this lot in particular will reach a final price of between £4,000 and £6,000 – although estimates of £10,000 have also been quoted.
Read the other pages here
The book contains 22 pages of essays on books including Thomas Hardy Return of The Native and Milton's Paradise Lost. There are also 4 pages of notes on essays at the back along with notes and a doodle of a man smoking on the reverse. All 5 essays in the book have been marked (some with comments) by Mr Durband with Paul receiving a mixed collection of very respectable B's from B++ to B-.
The green book measures 6.5″ x 8″ and has the school logo on the front cover along with the writing "JPMCARTNEY ESQ. 6AM2 ENGLISH LITERATURE". In Mark Lewisohn's book "The Beatles: Tune In" he writes "Paul was now in his final year at the 'Inny', class 6AM2, one of the oldest boys in the school…. Was now deep into his Dusty Durband-inspired literary phase. 'I did most of my reading in (that) little period of my life… I thought it was a bit swotty, a good image… I felt like I was at university'.
All of McCartney's essays are marked in the book by his teacher Alan "Dusty" Durband, who taught the musician English literature between 1959-60. Durband's notes and grades can be seen in the book, with the teacher at one point telling his student: "I'd answer the question first before challenging its truth." See the extract in question below.

One of the last of the famed Bengal Lancers, Brigadier Ingall has spent most of his life in India and Pakistan. When he first went to India in 1929, all the officers were English and all the enlisted men were Indian (Hindu, Sikh and Moslem). India was part of theBritish Empire and the Army was basically involved with hunting down outlaw bands of horsemen and keeping them in order. One of his first experiences there was leading a charge on horseback (swords in hand) of the 5th D.C.O. Lancers in the battle of karawal near the Khyber Pass. Later, in the Second World War, he commanded the 6th Lancers in a drive through northern Italy. By this time he had traded their horses for light armour (manufactured by General Motors), but the hazards were no less great. In one 2-hour punch, Ingall's forces cut a swathe through the remnants of the three German Divisions and penetrated 50 miles into enemy territory. For this he won the DSO. He was also awarded an OBE by King George VI for his service as founder and head of the Pakistan Military Academy which he was invited to found by no less person then Mohammad Ali Jinnah himself. Ingall serves as the academy's Commandment until 1951. Since then he has revisited the area several times as an honoured guest of the state, In 1982 he was appointed Honorary Council General of Pakistan , in California, where he now lives, by it's president General Zia-ul-Haq , who described Ingall as 'one of the founding fathers or our army.' During his many years in India and Pakistan he knew and worked with with the areas most important dignitaries such as Lord Mountbatten and Lord Ismay, Gandhi and Nehru. This is an autobiography full of incident and humour which will delight not only the old and bold but but all those who enjoy reading about the last days of the Raj.

SEO is still one of the most important strategies for businesses looking to grow online. As search engines continue to get smarter and more user-focused, businesses need to make sure they are giving the search crawlers all the information they need. Adding structured data to your site is imperative for any company looking to leverage search.
Search crawlers speak the language of data. Sure they can "read" text and other elements, but their native tongue is strings and elements. Adding structured data to your site gives the crawlers the information they need in the way they understand it the best. Check out the video below and learn how to markup your site.
Welcome to Hack-My-Growth. In this episode, we're going to be walking through four different stages of adding structured data to your website. We're going to start with defining the type of data that we want to add some structure to. Then we're going to create the JSON-LD that we need to add to our website. Then we're going to walk through how do we add it to our website. We're going to give two different options. One adding it directly, and another using Tag Manager. And finally, we're going to wrap it all up by validating our code to make sure that it's firing correctly and we can get those rich listings that we're looking for. All right, let's go.
This is your first time watching, maybe watching a while but haven't yet subscribed, please do so now. We create content like this each and every week to help you get the most out of your marketing activities. Now, if you've watched our schema video before where we talked about the different types of schema, you may have been wondering, okay, how do I actually add this to my website? How do we define the type of schema I want? Well, that's what we're going to cover today. We're going to walk through an example on our website. We're going to show you a couple ways to add that schema to your website and some easy ways to generate it. A lot of times when we get into structured data, it can be overwhelming. But the reality is, once you start doing it, it's not as difficult as it seems.
The first place you want to start is your website. And you want to understand how your site's built, how its structured and you want to look at the different pages that you have. Now, you're not going to be adding structured data to every page, although you absolutely could. But you really want to look at the types of pages you have and build a hierarchy. A tool that I recommend for crawling your site and looking at your site's structure is a tool called Screaming Frog Spider and that's what we're going to look at next.
Screaming Frog is a UK based search marketing agency, but they also have one of the most powerful and famous website crawlers available to SEOs or Webmasters. It's called the SEO Spider Tool and you can download it for free from their website right here. Download the tool, and you can use it. Now there's also a paid version, which gives you a lot more features. But you can also get away with just using the free version.
Once you launch Screaming Frog, this is what it's going to look like. I always like to copy and paste here. You have to add your website in. For this example, I'm not going to do this in-depth analysis. It's going to take a really long time. But you put your site in here and you can begin to crawl your website. Either hit enter, or you can do some configuration to make it crawl a little bit faster, which is what I'm going to do right now and then fast forward to the actual file we'll get.
Once you're done crawling your website, you want to hit the export button. It's going to export an Excel file for you and it's going to give you a lot of detail on your website. This is the Excel file that Screaming Frog spit out. As you can see, there's a lot of different pieces of information here. For this specific video, we're not going to go through all the different information here, we're going to look at our site pages that are spit out right here. So I'm just going to go ahead and copy the site pages and then move them into another template.
This is a template I created to help me organize my schema projects to make sure that I have everything that I need, and that I can check it throughout the whole process. I've linked the schema mapping templates above so you can use it as well. It's pretty simple. Honestly, we just have the pages here, the types of schema we want to use, the mapping. What type of information are we going to need in generating the JSON-LD code and then just the test results in the areas that we're seeing?
These are the main top-level pages on our website. There's a lot of different things that we can do here based on the pages that are available to us. From a high level, you want your main site pages, you can use an organization schema. This is going to be information about your specific company or your business. There's also a drop down list here that you can choose from, as you see organization. Now, analytics, it's a product or service. This marketing for tech companies. This is a case study. So this would probably fit more under news article. Consulting is going to be a product or service. So you would go down through here and organize all of your pages under the different types of schema that we're looking to create.
Now the one we're going to use as an example is going to be our Contact Us button. And we are going to generate a local schema for this specific page. The reason why we're doing that is well, we have a local presence here in our area. We do work with a lot of local businesses, and we want to make sure that when people search for our business locally, we have a really robust local presence and we look nice and put together and more put together then the other companies in the area. This is a great way to build off of your Google My Business places for local SEO. But it's also helpful just to give the search engines more context about your specific business.
Once you've decided the types of schema ... Let's say you would go through here. The next step is to map out that schema. So what type of information am I going to need in order to create this JSON-LD code. One place you can go is here to schema.org. This is the homepage of everything schema. If you're looking at schema you can either look down here and go in the drop downs and look through. You'll see local business. There's also a really helpful custom search button. But since we already found a local business here on the main page, we can go ahead and click local business.
As you can see, they're giving us all the different types of properties associated with a local business. Currencies, opening hours, payments, price ranges, these are things that are associated strictly with local business. Pulling other properties, you can connect them to the organizational properties. It just goes down and down. You can look at all these different properties. Now, you're not going to necessarily have to map every single one of these, you could if you want to, but you don't have to. I actually like to go down here to the bottom and look at the examples. Because what they're going to do here in the examples is allow you to see what a page would look like without markup, and then what it looks like in the three types of markup.
There are three main types that can be used. Microdata, RDS information or JSON-LD. I prefer using JSON-LD. It's also what Google prefers you use as well. I would look at these different examples and see the one that applies like my business, or close to my business. So you've got an example of invoicing for purchase. So it's not really worth doing. This one has a four-star review. This one just has the name, a little bit of information and some markup. And again, this is a variety of services associated with that markup. Now example three probably makes the most sense. Like if you went to our website page, our contact page, you would see that most of what we have is included here.
We've got a map here. We've got a little bit of information. It's not super intense because we're giving people a way to connect with us and see where we exist. So if I go back to the schema page, I would probably look at this one right now and click on JSON-LD. Now it's going to start to pool or show me a couple of different things. Now these two things here at the top, at context and at type, we don't want to mess with. These aren't things that we're going to be changing. These are telling the search engines where to go and find the specific markup and what type of markup it actually is. What we want to look at down here are things that are variable. We've got address locally. This would be your city. The region, which is going to be your state or your province, depending on where you are. Your street address, then you have your description, your name, and your telephone. Very simple piece of code here. Although it can look a little scary when it's wrapped inside of a specific script.
What we want to do is tick these things. So we've got city, region, address. And we're going to go over here and mark these out. So these are things that we need. We need our city, we need our region, our address and there are a couple of other pieces of information. We need description, the name and then the telephone number.
There are a couple things you can do. I'm a huge believer in not duplicating what's already been done before. I'm a big believer in just taking something that's working and using it. So you obviously can just take this script right here and copy it and paste it and change out the pieces of information that are needed. There's also another really cool site and it's called JSONLD.com. It's also known as Steal Our JSON, and they spit out code for you. As you'll notice here, if I go down to, where I'm at already is local business schema as you can see it up here. This code is already validated by Google. It's already working. They know that it works. They've validated it, as you can see right here.
They're giving you a little bit more information in this, which I would probably use this one, and we'll get into that right now. When we're talking about local in local search, we want to give Google as much information as we can so that it can enrich our Google My Business listings. Yes, citations are important. Review sites are important. All of that stuff is important. But Google is the most important. They care more about Google My Business and understanding the context of your site from their own platform more than anything else. Now, one of the ways that they can easily find out where you are, is using latitude and longitude. These geo coordinates are extremely important. A lot of times we don't think of geo coordinates just because we're navigating this way most of the time. So we're thinking of our street address which is important, but so is our latitude and longitude coordinates. This helps us show the locality of our business within a city.
Giving Google this is going to give them better information of how far we are from other points inside the city, which also makes it much easier for users to engage with our business and help you find our business from a local standpoint. Steal my JSON has this great piece of code right here. We've got the address and stuff we saw before. We've got the description and the name. Then also adding in your opening hours, closing hours, your geo type. And then there's also this other function that you can add in here called Same As. This is important, especially if you have a local presence on social channels.
How does Google know if your Facebook page is the same as your business page or if it's the right one as your business page? By adding the same tag in your JSON code you can create that connection between your business and social profiles online. We're going to take and steal this code and drop it in and then work on adding in our own information. Another great thing is they give you links here where you can obtain your latitude and longitude for your business. I wouldn't just copy this code right into your Excel file, I would use either a text editor or some sort of code editor that's going to help you manipulate the code. The one I recommend, the one I like to use is Sublime. And so we're going to copy this into Sublime and start changing things out from there.
All right, so we have added our code here into Sublime and we are going to start doing some manipulations. We want to start again, we don't want to mess with any of these as types. We only want to change the things that are relevant to us. For instance, our business is located in Melbourne, Florida. We're going to add these in here and then we would add a description of our business and the name of our business. Doesn't need to be super long, but should be descriptive and it should also use keywords. Those are very important. This is an area where we can talk to search engines, you want to tell them who you are and what you do.
This is important to remember here. This is military time, not your 12-hour clock. This a24-hour clock. That's important to remember. Now the last thing we want to look at right here before we get into copy and pasting our social channels is our geo coordinates. Now here's the cool thing is they again gave us this resource here so we can find our geo coordinates. That is our latitude and longitude right here. So you notice that we don't have the full number here, we just have it to two decimal points. So we're going to do the same thing. Just copy and paste.
All right now we've had latitude and longitude. We're going to add the social channels for good measure. I'll show you how to do that. Again, a lot of copy and pasting going on here. And we're not going to do Google Plus because it's being phased out. All right there we have it. Here is our JSON-LD code. Now we want to copy that and save it for good keeping right here in our Excel file which looks really nice, right? If you want to trim this down, you go to format, you can format that cell and I like to wrap my cells. There you go.
The next step is adding it to our website. We're going to show you two ways to do that. The great part about JSON-LD is it's not going to slow your site down. You can drop it right into the web page that you want, and it's going to fire correctly. You're going to go login to WordPress or your HTML file or whatever CMS that you're using. For us, we're using HubSpot, and you drop that code right into that page. Let's drop it in and give it a test.
Once you've added that structured data to your website, we want to test it. We will make sure that it's firing correctly. Go over and copy the page that we have added the code and go to the structured data testing tool, which is brought to us by our friends at Google, copy the URL, paste it into the box and run the test. This tool is going to crawl the page, it's going to look for any markup and it's going to tell us, yes, is it working, no is it not working. And as you see here, we have schema local markup.
Now what you also may notice is that we're getting a couple of errors. Google is looking for an image here local business, apparently. And they're also saying, "Hey, pricing field is also recommended. You should probably be adding your pricing to your business listing." Now this will still fire, it will still work. Even though you are generating these errors. Again, I would always mark down these errors over here, test results, it is firing but we are getting these two errors. And you can go back and add those into the code to make sure that you have it filled out fully.
If we went back over here to schema, you remember that some of these over here did have a pricing range. So if you're wondering how to add pricing range, you just go to this example of pricing range and we'll go here where it says pricing range $2, $1, $4 signs, however fancy or how expensive you are. You can also scroll back up here at the top and we can look at the pricing range element here in schema. It's going to tell you that this is a text value. This is what is used in the local business schema. And you can add in your pricing for your business. So we can go in and add that and clean it up, make sure that it fires correctly. As far as the image goes, this is an interesting one just because it's also lining up here with line 344. Now we don't have an image in our structured data here. But you can also put in a logo and that sort of thing. That's maybe what it's trying to look at here.
A lot of times have I run into an error like this, and I don't know what to do, I Google it. And that will help me find the right answer. But all we did here is we copy and paste this into our website, and it fired our schema markup.
The next step is to look at how we would do that using a tool like Tag Manager. Tag Manager is a tag management tool. If you're not using it on your site, I highly recommend it. It's a very cool tool to help you keep organized and allow you to do a lot of very cool things in tracking and tagging your website. When you want to add a new tag, you just simply go to tags and new, then we're going to call this local schema. And we are going to do a custom HTML tag. Like we paste it into our site before, we're just going to take this and paste it into Tag Manager.
This used to work really awesome. Now the structured data markup tool sometimes has an issue reading the script straight like this from JSON-LD. We're going to test it and you're going to see what I mean. And then I'm going to show you how we change this tag a little bit in order to get the results that we're looking for. The next thing I want to look for is triggering. This is saying, okay, here's your tag when do we want this tag to be triggered? Now, this is local schema and we want to be triggered on the Contact Us page. As you can see, right here I have a couple of different triggers. But this is not the one that I want. I want to add a new one.
I'm going to call this Contact Us and then I'm going to click on the little element here and I will say page view, some pages and URL equals this page here. So this means this will only fire when somebody or a search crawler or a search engine hit the Contact Us page. Once you save this, you need to submit it. Always make sure that when you submit something that you remind yourself of what you did. We'll call this Contact Us and publish. Once you publish it, it's live on your site. You can also test it before you publish it. But in this case, I'm just going to show you how it's done.
Now before you go to test this, make sure that you've removed the local JSON markup from your site. If you've already done it, drop it in there. Let's say you want to go back now and add to Tag Manager, make sure you remove it before you run the test, otherwise, you're going to show that it probably worked the right way, even though you're going to have duplicated code. Don't duplicate your code. Once you've added your tag, and you've set your tag live, it's time to go run it again with the structured data testing tool. Again, you put your URL here and you click Run the test. Once again, it's performing the same action as before and it's looking for a markup.
As you notice, this time we added a tag but it didn't show up even though we know this tag is in there, for some reason Tag Manager and the structured data testing tool isn't reading the JSON-LD. So how do we solve this problem? Let's get into that.
But in this video we've done a couple of things. We've looked at using Screaming Frog to scan our site. To see how many pages that we have and then we've started to map out our schema by the type of schema and the type of mapping we're going to need in our schema. Then we've added that to our site in two different ways. We drop the code right into the site. We've also used Google Tag Manager. And we talked about some of the errors that structured data testing tool has with Tag Manager and why you need to wrap it in a different script.

Buddhist Religious Identity in South Korea
Laurence Caillet
A review of La construction d'une identité religieuse bouddhiste en Corée du Sud (The Construction of a Buddhist Religious Identity in South Korea), by Florence Galmiche.
Florence Galmiche's The Construction of a Buddhist Religious Identity in South Korea is a 371-page dissertation, originally written in French, richly illustrated with photographs taken by the author. It includes a glossary, a list of informants, a list of primary sources, and a trilingual bibliography (English, French and Korean). It could be characterized as a classic thesis in social anthropology. However, the subject — an analysis of the contemporaneous revival of Buddhism — is very innovative as most experts on Korea concentrate on rivaling religions such as Confucianism, Shamanism, and Christianity.
Ed. note: This review belongs to a new series on our website, called "DR World", dedicated to reviewing dissertations from around the world written in languages other than English, including French, German and others. If you would like to have your dissertation reviewed here, or to contribute a review, please contact info@dissertationreviews.org.
The ambition of the thesis is to bring out the transformation of religious practices in modern Korea. Accordingly, Florence Galmiche chose to work with housewives since they are in fact the major actors of the modernization process of Buddhism. Her aim is to elucidate the tension between two visions of religion: the first oriented towards popularization and life "here below", and the second more concerned with ascetic tradition.
The first chapter focuses on devotional rituals executed in Buddhist temples by mothers of the young candidates wishing to be admitted to prestigious universities. The ethnographical description of the rituals accomplished by thousands of women — about 1,500 for a single day at Bongeunsa Temple 봉은사 in Gangnam District in Seoul — is simply astonishing: under the monks' iron rule, the mothers conform themselves to the busy schedule of their children. They keep praying and bowing as long as their children's university entrance examinations are still running, and take rest during the occasional breaks. Such ceremonies are obviously linked to the belief in some "quasi-magical" effect, but, according to the monks' injunction, the women must not pray for the success of their children, and instead must accomplish a correct devotional attitude complying with their social status. This dual, ambivalent interpretation offers the possibility to hide the popular appearance of the practice.
The second chapter describes the extension of the role of Buddhist laymen, who initially visited the temples from time to time, for instance during the university entrance exam prayers. The formation of secular associations gives support to apparition and development of small cooperative groups. This type of social formation seems inspired by the charity activities of Christian churches, but they also meet the aspirations of a new and modern Korean Buddhism. As the role of faithful adherents is becoming more important, monks get involved in religious teaching and organize training sessions in Buddhist doctrines, consequently obliterating the traditional repartition of tasks between monks who led an ascetic way of life, and the lay followers who engaged with society. In fact, this new modern Buddhism does not focus any longer on the monks but on the laical community, Florence Galmiche concludes.
The last chapter brings to light the contradictions created by this recent situation. The individual engagement in social activities is opposed to the egotistic seclusion of monks. Some criticize the monastery way of life, supposed to be without any social utility and consider that "modern Buddhism" means "socially involved Buddhism". But others defend a way of life dedicated to ascetic practices, and advocate the reinforcement of monks' authority and their supremacy bound to their detachment from mundane, secular affairs.
Florence Galmiche's dissertation is very important. It will of course be of great interest to specialists of Korea and to social anthropologists and sociologists specialized in religion. Beyond that, the revival of Buddhism(s) is part of a sweeping global change, taking place everywhere from the Himalayan regions to Japan. In fact, the efforts accomplished to acquire a phantasmagoric parity with Western nations implied the valorization of universal religions, comparable to Christianity. And, in Asia, Buddhism is the only religion which appears universal and comparable to Christianity. Although this influence is often denied by local specialists, the influence of Western metaphysics leads to the greater emphasis on faith and belief, and the deprecation of practices. Because of the political necessity to avoid any amalgam of rituals and magical practices, monks establish meditation as the most "intellectually correct" ritual. This mode of thinking de-emphasizes or even ignores the efficiency of rituals. The prayers do not offer any longer guarantee about success. Monks aim to convince parents to abandon excessive desire, especially as far as their children's success is concerned. Mothers, as seen above, must not think about the success or the failure of their prayers, but they must adopt a "correct" attitude, the climax or apogee of which is meditation — a kind of ritual considered more developed in Asia than in Western countries.
Though the actors — monks or laymen — always refer to Korea, this phenomenon is not typically Korean. In fact, many Asian countries refer to Buddhism as a new way to a "modernity" which would not be indebted to nineteenth-century Western philosophy and political thought. Far from the usual "modernity," the conception of which is based on the proliferation of technical objects, the domination of nature and the autonomy of the subject, Buddhism proposes — or claim to propose — a symmetrical cosmology which enhance ecological philosophy, links between nature and culture and interdependence of human beings. Theses values, to be substituted for western concepts, are conceived as contributions of Asia to the definition a new world order. Korea appears as one of the nations implied in this process of universalization of a local religion, a process which from now on can no longer be the privilege of the Western countries.
One of the most valuable insights of Galmiche's work is the discovery of the logic produced by the combination of entwined layers of micro and macro analysis which articulates women's religious activities and the role of Buddhism in Korea. This habile construction offers the reader a comprehensive picture of Buddhism in Korea. Standing out from usual studies about Korean Buddhism in Korea, Japan and the United States — which tend to focus on history, history of art, philology and philosophy — and from contemporary studies which generally aim to contribute to the creation of a reformed Buddhism, this dissertation reveals that the opposition between "popular religion" and "elite religion", as well as the dichotomy between rituals and beliefs, are no longer pertinent. This dissertation extends the reflections of Richard F. Gombrich, Gananath Obeyesekere, and perhaps George D. Bond on the growing individualization and goes beyond them, as the complexity of the Korean situation clearly shows that the revival of Buddhism and the development of individual affiliation of believers are not a reaction to the loss of influence of religion within the context of modernity. On the contrary, the success of Buddhism is based on modernization itself.
This dissertation is a model for future research for the comprehension of the notion of modern religion and modernity in Western countries. All specialists of religions in Asia, as well as researchers interested in the social meaning of so-called individualism should read this fascinating work.

Masada, Israel
Masada is an ancient fortification in the Southern District of Israel situated on top of an isolated rock plateau, akin to a mesa, on the eastern edge of the Judaean Desert, overlooking the Dead Sea 20 kilometres east of Arad.
Herod the Great built palaces for himself on the mountain and fortified Masada between 37 and 31 BCE. According to Josephus, the Siege of Masada by troops of the Roman Empire towards the end of the First Jewis-Roman War ended in the mass suicide of 960 people the Sicarii rebels and their families hiding there.
Masada is one of Israel's most popular tourist attractions.
The cliffs on the east edge of Masada are about (1,300 ft) high and the cliffs on the west are about (300 ft) high, the natural approaches to the cliff top are very difficult.
Masada was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. In 2007, the Masada Museum in Memory of Yigael Yadin opened at the site, in which archeological findings are displayed in a theatrical setting. Many of the artifacts exhibited were unearthed by Yadin and his archaeological team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem during the 1960s.
