Status Of Women In Islam
Category : WOMEN'S HUB ARTICLES
Author : Kouser Abdul Wajid
When talking about the societal rights of women; it is the Prophet (PBUH) who took the woman out of the depth of darkness and raised her to the high pedestal of dignity and grace. He said that Allah has declared anyone sinful who fails to safeguard the rights of his mother. (Bukhari)
The question of women's rights and status has been the subject of continuous interest across the world. Even in this age of materialism, people are turning for their guidance towards Islam. Day by day the society is crossing all limits of morality in the name of freedom. The influence these cultural and social changes are leaving is mostly on the womenfolk. The woman who had been deprived of her rights because of her being weak is being deprived today of most of her rights under the slogan of women's liberation. In other words, the woman of today has lost her natural status and respect and is being subjected to the lust of an ill-mannered society.
The real solution for this sorry state of affairs is the guidance shown by the Almighty Allah and the teachings of the Prophet (saw). To understand this, it is necessary to have a bird's-eye view of women's status before Allah enlightened the Prophet.
The ancient culture and civilization in pre Islamic Arabia or elsewhere in the world at that time did not give women any dignified place in society.
This is evident from the Quran, "And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief. He hides from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground?" (16:58-59)
The ancient culture and civilization in pre Islamic Arabia or elsewhere in the world at that time did not give women any dignified place in society. Instead, debates on her innate sinful nature, or her lack of mind were in vogue. The Vedic teaching remained shut for the women in the Hindu religion. Christianity and Judaism held women responsible for human error. Her existence itself was lowly and a matter of shame in Greek, Rome, Iranian, Persian, and Chinese civilization. In Arabia, before the last Prophet was born, when Jahiliyah (ignorance) was at its peak, the birth of a female baby was sinful and a matter of shame for the man. This is evident from the Quran, "And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief. He hides from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground?" (16:58-59)
Under these circumstances, Islam brought a historic change in the legal and practical level of women in society. In the call of the Holy Prophet to Islam is the direction of human thoughts towards women. "O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women." (4:1). This Quranic verse determines the social and cultural state of women that she, too, is a human being like a man.
Broadly speaking Islam treats women at par with men in all aspects. They owe equal obligations towards God and society. Women are separate entities in their own right and all the rights enjoyed by men are theirs as well. The Quran states "They are your garments and your their garments. (2:187). Female rights are sacred.
Islam has laid great emphasis on learning and knowledge both for men and women and called each other's helpers and akin to garments of each other. It is the only religion in the world, which describes women's duties and rights and gives the female her rightful place in society. It has described the woman as an object of 'holiness and virtue' while other religions depict her as the originator of all sins.
Islam has drawn lines of differences relating to the duties of men and women in accordance with the ability, physical structure, etc. She has been declared as the pillar of the family. If the pillar is not strong, the family will be in ruins. This is the main reason why a Muslim woman has been barred to intermingle unnecessarily with strangers, directed to wear hijab, etc.
The real position of women in Islam can be understood from verse 35 of Surah Ahzab,
"Surely ˹for˺ Muslim men and women, believing men and women, devout men and women, truthful men and women, patient men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, men and women who guard their chastity, and men and women who remember Allah often—for all of˺ them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward." The above verse clearly states that Allah has made both men and women responsible and accountable.
Her cultural rights are:-
1. Rights to choosing a spouse – Islam implements the right in a very proper and balanced manner, enjoining the believers not to marry off a girl without her consent.
2. Right to annul her marriage – If a girl was married off at her very tender age, on reaching the age of maturity, she has the right to maintain it or annul it.
3. Right to Khula – The woman has been given the right to seek separation from her husband if she finds him unable to give her rights.
4. Right to be behaved well with – The Quran says, "Live with your wives in a good manner." (4:19). "And do not forget kindness among yourselves." (2:237).
5. Right to re-marriage – Divorced and those women whose marriage has been legally annulled have the right to enter re-marriage.
6. Rights of a widow – The Quran say, "O believers! It is not permissible for you to inherit women against their will." (4:19). "And marry the unmarried among you" (24:32). The greatest act of virtue alone to a widow is that she should be remarried to a gentleman.
7. Equality between men and women in civil and criminal law – The Quran says, "Women have rights similar to those of men equitably." (2:228)
Her economical Rights in Islam:-
1. Right to Property – She is the sole owner of her property.
2. Maintenance – Rests with her husband however wealthy a woman is.
3. Mahr – The Quran also states, "And give the women [upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and ease." (4:4)
4. Right to Inheritance – A woman inherits property from her father, husband, children and other close relations.
5. Right to Education – This is the most important right after social, cultural and economic rights. A woman not only has been permitted to receive religious and modern education but her education has been deemed as necessary as that of a man. A woman's education is not only for her but for her children and family as well as she raises an entire generation. The Prophet (saw)'s wife Hadhrat Ayesha (r.a) was a teacher not only for women but men as well.
Thus Islam alone has given a woman her status of dignity and grace in society while retaining her natural and thus raised the position of womanhood. The wisdom, importance and results of the rights that Islam has given to a woman cannot be the judgment we compare these rights to those in other societies. In fact, the West considers a woman as she has been considered in the days of Jahiliyyah. Therefore, it can be said with confidence that the West has given no rights to a woman, as a woman.
A close study of human history, different cultures, ideologies, and religions brings us to the conclusion that the Divine Guidance that the Lord has himself revealed through his last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the best way of life. The teachings of the Holy Prophet are an expression of Divine Wisdom and his Seerah is the best model of life. Hence, Islam is the best and greatest protector of the rights, position and status of women in society.

Learn about Aloy's story A new trailer for Guerrilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn drops some more details about the game's story, offering a glimpse at both friends and enemies of our hero, Aloy. The trailer begins with a limping Aloy discovering that members of her tribe have been massacred — an event that she soon realizes was "only the beginning. " In an effort to find out more about the attackers, she leaves her tribe's sacred lands and ventures to a place called Meridian. There, she spreads the word that the masked killers who massacred her people pose "a threat to us all. " It turns out that these villains are dredging up some powerful ancient machines — "a storm of shadows, to take back what's ours" their leader calls it.
What's more, the robots attack with a corrupting influence that allows the enemies to take control of friendly machines. Guerrilla Games/Sony Interactive Entertainment An image of Lance Reddick's character in Horizon Zero Dawn. One of the characters who seems to want to help Aloy and her tribe is a mysterious figure who appears to her in a hologram. The man, who calls himself "an interested party," is voiced by Lance Reddick and bears the actor's face. Reddick has a long list of acting roles in TV shows such as The Wire and Fringe, as well as movies like John Wick, but he has also appeared in video games including Destiny and Quantum Break.
Guerrilla Games will likely have more to reveal on the "post-post-apocalyptic" world of Horizon Zero Dawn before the game launches Feb. 28. It will be available exclusively on PlayStation 4, with support for the PlayStation 4 Pro and high dynamic range (HDR) color. For more, check out our hands-on impressions from E3 2016 below.

B&Q, DIY Bondage & 50 Shades of Grey: Planning for All Opportunities
By DuBose Cole @dubosecole · On February 9, 2015
The impending launch of the film adaptation of "50 Shades Of Grey" will create opportunities for a lot of different businesses, from more "adult" sector brands such as Victoria's Secret and Ann Summers, to readers inspired by the film shopping Amazon and other booksellers. However, beyond the products and sectors directly related to the film, there are brands making preparations and, subsequently, showing how to make the most of opportunities that may be tangential.
Its in this vein, that UK DIY supplier B&Q has smartly sent around an internal memo briefing its sales staff to prepare for customers that might want to….take a bit of the film's story home with them. As previously seen in American hardware chains such as the Home Depot, passages of the book which take place in a hardware store have inspired readers to go and do some shopping of their own. The uptick of interest in the rope section of the hardware store produced a noticeable trend that the retailer identified and adapted to. In both examples, it isn't something the brand actively encourages (B&Q goes as far as mentioning "It is always B&Q's policy that products should only be used for their designed purposes" in its memo), but none the less, internal coordination has been put in place to take advantage of an emerging consumer behavior. Sex & role play isn't really B&Q heartland, but if customers are going to be inspired to come in store, they should enjoy it and have a good experience. One would assume rope sales going up is a good thing no matter the reason.
The ability to anticipate and adapt to such a consumer trend is a useful one and something that B&Q's memo highlights how to do well. In an age where brands are becoming increasingly discursive and attempting to find any reason to be relevant to consumers, throwing the cultural net wide is increasingly useful. Looking beyond the traditional examples of directly related content(car brands and action movies), or product placement to create an opportunity, and looking for more indirect possibilities makes for an agile and useful brand.
US retailer Cinnabon's enthusiastic promotion of its presence in 'Breaking Bad' spin off 'Better Call Saul' is another example of taking a less than obvious opportunity and playing on it. The retailer, first mentioned in the penultimate episode of Breaking Bad as character Saul Goodman's 'best case scenario' for employment once escaping the series, is featured in the spin-off's first episode. To capitalize on this, they are offering a free 'mini-bun' to customers the morning after the series premieres. While Cinnabon's presence and possible role is much clearer than something like B&Q's, the lack of a clear positive for the brand could have been a limiting factor. On its face, the brand is portrayed as the hellish last stop of a crooked drug dealer's lawyer. However, looking at the wider context of the show and its fan base, its easy to see how this can be spun into a positive opportunity.
As with any planning and strategy, pulling the layers back on culturally consumed content and really looking at the wider context is the core of being relevant. As seen with B&Q, the fit with a brand shouldn't necessarily disqualify a possibility, but instead highlight how it is utilized (from internal coordination to explicit placement in ATL). Few cultural opportunities for brands are going to be a movie based on going to its store, turning into its products, or interning at its offices, and the brands that make their own luck, or at least plan ahead creatively are encouraging success.

VH1 looking for women to compete in Rock of Love, possibly for Poison's Bret Michaels' love
6 Dec. 2006 | 10:15 am
VH1 is casting for a new show that sounds a lot like Flavor of Love, but that will star an still unidentified rock star from the 1990s who will select a partner from a group of women. It's those women that VH1 seeks.
Idolator unearthed the casting call (that's not yet on the network's own poorly-updated web site) that asks women who want to "compete for the love" of this lead singer to apply. The full notice:
VH1 and the producers of THE SURREAL LIFE and MY FAIR BRADY bring you the hottest relationship show ever… "ROCK OF LOVE".
CASTING: Twenty bachelorettes to live in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills and compete for the love of one of the 90's HOTTEST ROCKERS. We are unable to announce who this single rocker is at this time, but…He is the real deal. A famous, sexy, bad boy rocker. He was the lead singer of a famous 90's rock band and he still tours today!
Note how the casting call insists that this is not some washed-up, old, B-list rock star; instead, he's still touring. Idolator originally speculated that the rocker could be the Counting Crows' Adam Duritz, Third Eye Blind's Stephan Jenkins, Smasmouth's Steve Harwell, or Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst.
However, the site reported yesterday that it "received multiple tips that the frontman in question is actually Bret Michaels of Poison," even though his band "is not only forever entwined with the '80s."

Building Leaders On Campus, or BLOC for short, is a dynamic entity that has evolved and adapted over the years. It is more than just a "resource" at the Claremont Colleges. It is a space for those who identify as "marginalized" (those who have been left at the fringes of society) and their allies to come together and form a collective that maximizes the abilities of each individual in its composition. First and foremost, BLOC exists to serve its members – to allow each and every member's passions and ideas to flow through the organization and be realized through a concerted effort. This flow of energy doesn't just serve our members, but the community as a whole, whether on the Claremont campuses or in the local community. From high school mentoring programs, to anti- sexual assault campaigns, to parties that challenge mainstream culture on Campuses, BLOC gets the job done
BLOC is a crucial resource for self-identified marginalized—but in no way marginal—students. BLOC is a supportive extended family at the sometimes-alienating Claremont Colleges. BLOC is a tight-knit brotherhood; let this be most sacred. BLOC promotes academic achievement and celebrates members' successes. The organization recognizes, takes on, and tries to mitigate hardship as exercises in collective compassion.
BLOC members hone skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. Leadership opportunities prepare members for success in their chosen careers and, more importantly, as human beings. BLOC creates well-rounded programs and strives for excellence and quality in all its undertakings. Members, both individually and collectively, work toward the advancement of the campus community and broader communities. In doing so, BLOC contributes to the betterment of each member.
BLOC harnesses its tight-knit brotherhood to collaborate with other people, groups, and communities. BLOC hopes to assess the local climate in order to gauge the needs of the underrepresented. BLOC fosters close partnerships within the 5C community to achieve common goals. By embarking on these endeavors together, BLOC seeks mediation, reconciliation, and understanding. Co-curricular activities can be as valuable as the classroom experience; hence, BLOC promotes involvement in all aspects of collegiate life.

Diplomacy Beyond Nation States
C. Naseer Ahmad
Diplomacy beyond nation states has risen in priority in the dialogue among policy makers around the world. The Atlantic Council, a Washington think tank promoting constructive leadership and engagement in international affair, recently held a star studded conference on the mega city challenges. According to the Atlantic Council "this event served as a prelude to the South Asia Center's Megacity Security Conference" - scheduled to be held in November 2015 in Mumbai, India. The population of Mumbai rivals the combined population of Austria and Zambia. With the growth in population of mega cities, challenges such as education, public health and transportation require a coordinated and creative approach just to keep pace. The conference organized by the Atlantic Council brought speakers with the deftness of diplomacy as well as gravitas of experience. In his seasoned remarks, Indian Ambassador Arun K. Singh said that the conference "presents an opportunity to highlight the merits of the hitherto unsung collaboration between India and the U.S. in making our megacities safe and friendly." He further stated that "at over 400 million, India's absolute number of urban residents is exceeded by that of only one country, and our urban population is larger than the total population of any other country…the Indian city of Varanasi has the distinction of being the oldest continuously inhabited city, with historical records of at least 3000 years." Ambassador Singh added that "in India, the megacity challenge is a living challenge of massive proportion. It manifests itself in the need to find employment and housing -- particularly for the poor, the need to provide sanitation and drinking water, the need to build and maintain efficient public transport, to keep vehicular pollution and industrial effluents in check, and to fight crimes." During the panel discussion that followed formal speeches, Mexico City Mayor Miguel Ángel Mancera discussed the efforts to address challenges - such as air quality, housing and security – for a city with over 21 million residents. US Secretary of Housing and Development (HUD) Julian Castro talked about the increased urbanization around the world – a trend driven by the ambition to improve individual and family circumstances in hope of realizing dreams. Quoting United Nations estimates, he mentioned that by 2050 the majority of the world's population would become urban residents. Secretary Castro highlighted the need to focus on the challenges mentioned in Ambassador Singh's speech. The panel discussion included US Department of State's Ian Klaus and Kathryn Schalow who presented their perspectives on the megacity challenges. According to the Atlantic Council: "the challenge of the megacity is so ubiquitous that no matter the rank or position, civil servants of all origins have a shared vocabulary to discuss the challenges and opportunities of this distinct 21st century facet of modern life." The Atlantic Council, as stated on its website, through its continued work on megacities, seeks to provide a platform for megacity ties to coalesce. Continuing this theme, Ambassador Singh – in his speech at Michigan University on Oct 14, 2015 – stated that "USAID will serve as a knowledge partner to support the Indian Prime Minister's 500 Cities National Urban Development Mission and Clean India Campaign." Ambassador Singh concluded diplomatically: "experience has taught us that deeper dialogue and effort at empathetic understanding is the best way to overcome such challenges, since the big picture is one of convergence and partnership."

Sexual arousal can happen for a lot of reasons – maybe you just find someone attractive, or they find you attractive – but what I'm going to touch on today is ways that you can deliberately create arousal in someone else by pressing their "sexual triggers" – those deep seated emotional and\or psychological attributes that pretty much everyone has; but which in many cases they don't even know they have, much less that they are being manipulated by someone.
For the sake of this article I'm going to assume that you don't have a problem approaching people and starting a conversation; if it so happens that you suffer from "approach anxiety" or that you are somewhat shy; you can find some help with that here.
When we meet someone there is both an emotional and a physical divide.
This emotional "gap" will start to narrow as the conversation goes on; but that does nothing to help with the physical gap. There is only one way to start closing that divide; and that is with touch. The biggest mistake that people make when they meet someone new is that they don't touch them enough. I don't mean in a familiar or sexual way; just a frequent, casual touch – a pat on the arm or shoulder, a tap to the back of the hand – just quick casual contact; and a lot of it. This serves to help close that physical gap while at the same time the emotional divide is closing; and it sets things up for a physical relationship once you start to create sexual arousal and inject some sexual tension into the relationship. This is the first "sexual trigger" that you need to press.
The next sexual trigger that you need to make use of in creating sexual arousal is mufti-faceted and I'm just going to touch upon it. You need to use body language. I can't say enough about how important it is to know a little about body language when it comes to creating arousal. By being able to read their body language you will always know where you stand no matter what they might be saying; and you will be able to send the right signals at the right time to help create sexual tension and sexual arousal.
When the time is right during the conversation you will need to actually create arousal – this is the most important sexual trigger of all. If you get this right; you're home free. A lot of people think that this is the hard part; but truth be told, the hard part is getting this far into it; moving forward, creating arousal is really pretty easy; and it gets back to body language.
The easiest way to create arousal is to simply get yourself aroused.
Think about things that arouse you and as you yourself become aroused your body language is going to change almost imperceptibly on a visual level; but it will be speaking loud and clear on an emotional and subconscious level. It will skip right past the logical mind and speak directly to the emotions.
impact upon physical and emotional responses: Look at their mouth as they speak.
This is a very powerful tactic in creating arousal; it is overtly sexual and it works well when used at the right time. If you use these tactics of pressing sexual triggers; it is almost guaranteed that your efforts at seduction will succeed.

A home that's ready for spring needs a bit more than just a good scrubbing. The season is also a great time to take a look around and think about areas that can be freshened up. Here are the must-haves that will help give your home new life.
You didn't think we were going to get out of here without one spring-cleaning tip, did you? While it's probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think about spring décor, a power washer can do wonders for the look of your home.


A netgroup defines a network-wide group of hosts and users. Use a netgroup to restrict access to shared NFS filesystems and to restrict remote login and shell access.
Network groups are stored in a network information services, such as LDAP, NIS, or NIS+, not in a local file.
This manual page describes the format for a file that is used to supply input to a program such as ldapaddent(1M) for LDAP, makedbm(1M) for NIS, or nisaddent(1M) for NIS+. These programs build maps or tables used by their corresponding network information services.
The items on a line can be separated by a combination of one or more spaces or tabs.
defines a group named "everything" for the domain "this.domain" to which every host and user belongs.
You can also use netgroups to control NFS mount access (see share_nfs(1M)) and to control remote login and shell access (see hosts.equiv(4)). You can also use them to control local login access (see passwd(4), shadow(4), and compat in nsswitch.conf(4)).
When used for these purposes, a host is considered a member of a netgroup if the netgroup contains any triple in which the hostname field matches the name of the host requesting access and the domainname field matches the domain of the host controlling access.
Similarly, a user is considered a member of a netgroup if the netgroup contains any triple in which the username field matches the name of the user requesting access and the domainname field matches the domain of the host controlling access.
Note that when netgroups are used to control NFS mount access, access is granted depending only on whether the requesting host is a member of the netgroup. Remote login and shell access can be controlled both on the basis of host and user membership in separate netgroups.
Used by a network information service's utility to construct a map or table that contains netgroup information. For example, ldapaddent(1M) uses /etc/netgroup to construct an LDAP container.
Note that the netgroup information must always be stored in a network information service, such as LDAP, NIS, or NIS+. The local file is only used to construct a map or table for the network information service. It is never consulted directly.
netgroup requires a network information service such as LDAP, NIS, or NIS+.
Applications may make general membership tests using the innetgr() function. See innetgr(3C).
effectively define netgroups containing only hosts and only users, respectively. Any other string that is guaranteed not to be a legal username or hostname will also suffice for this purpose.
Use of placeholders will improve search performance.
and use this netgroup "gateway" whenever the host is to be included in another netgroup.


AUSTIN, TX - MI7 announced the public availability of CODENAME: Silencer - the add on for MI7's Q integration software that removes sensitive data from integration messages and even filters out specific messages. The company will be showcasing it at the HIMSS conference in Orlando, Florida.
The country's leading healthcare innovators and digital health companies are convening in Orlando with discussions focused on every aspect of the patient experience.
Silencer is bound to be the topic of the show given its ability to de-identify and desensitize integration messages from clinical data systems. MI7 clients can establish filters to perform such tasks as eliminating Social Security Numbers from messages or filtering out all messages that aren't for Oscar Health Insurance's members.
"Scalability and security are the two biggest challenges with today's EHR integrations. Our clients asked for and we released Silencer to address those two areas. " said Zac Jiwa, Chief Executive Officer of MI7. "HIMSS 2017 in Orlando is the perfect conference to showcase Silencer and demonstrate its ability to improve security of information and help digital health companies to manage the scalability of their EHR integrations."

Nury Turkel, @nuryturkel, co-founder of the Uyghur Human Rights Project and a commissioner of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, and Gordon Chang, @GordonGChang, Daily Beast, in re: Uyghurs in concentration camps, having forced abortions, being abused. Breaking news from London: The UK govt has condemned Chinese treatment of Uyghurs as barbarous; internment camps, political re-education, forced abortions, Campbell soups, cotton products, many items from China, are from slave labor in Xinjiang , Jake Sullivan calls on Europeans to "think twice" before entering into agreements with China. Sometimes calling matters out is as important as policy responses. Stark contrast to EU: the just-signed investment agreement [thanks to Angela Merkel]. Euros seem not to grasp the threat, to understand products made by Uyghur slaves. They know exactly how it is when a regime targets an ethnic religious minority; Germany not being clear on this is mind-boggling.
Uyghur women being "emancipated" by the Chinese abuse. It's preposterous, even letting China speak in such an ugly way about Uyghur women's reproduction. Hugely offensive. China sees them as "baby-making machines." Beijing thinks it can get away with this; the intl community does nothing. UK and Australia have taken positions on this. Tony Blinken should spend a little time on this.

This is a list of municipalities in the Canadian province of Quebec where Anglo-Quebecer populations form over 35% of the total population. Anglo-Quebecers, for the purposes of this list, are individuals who have English as a first language, including those with multiple first languages. As such, the list does not include those who primarily use English but for whom it is not a first language.

The anglophone community in Quebec is centred primarily in the Greater Montreal, Montérégie, Outaouais and Estrie regions, but there are smaller pockets of anglophone settlement throughout the province. Most Anglo-Quebecers live in communities with significant numbers of other Anglo-Quebecers but where they do not form a majority, such as Chateauguay, Montreal. Not included in this list are demographically significant Native reserves that predominantly speak English, like Kahnawake, because the census has insufficient data on these communities because of political conflicts between the First Nations and the state.

Between 1970 and 1973, Anant Negandhi held a series of conferences at Kent State University, sponsored by the Comparative Administration Research Institute. Kent State was then a leading business school in the fields of international business, management, and marketing. Negandhi thought that this emerging field would benefit from the contributions of young scholars in various social science fields, such as sociology. The conference focus was on "the various conceptual problems encountered in studying the functioning of complex social organizations." Negandhi started a journal that published the papers presented at his conferences, but it lasted only 5 issues.
I took part in several of these, including one that led to the publication of a book on Interorganizational Theory, edited by Negandhi. These conferences attracted a stellar cast of organization scholars, including Richard Hall, Don Hellriegel, David Hickson, Hans Penning, Jeff Pfeffer, Lou Pondy, Jon Slocum, Andy Van de Ven, and Donald Warren. Looking back, I'm astonished that he was able to attract this group to a regional state university in the Northeastern corner of Ohio. Up to that point, Kent State was known primarily for the infamous killings of four students by the Ohio National Guard during a peaceful protest against the Cambodian invasion. Indeed, memories of that tragedy were still in my mind when I contemplated whether to accept Negandhi's invitation to attend the conferences.
In addition to people known for their contributions to organizational studies, Negandhi invited Talcott Parsons to the conference because of Parsons' interest in institutional theory and organizations. In 1956, Parsons published two lead-off articles in two successive issues of the Administrative Science Quarterly, laying out what he called "suggestions for a sociological approach to the theory of organizations." In our book, Organizations Evolving, Martin Ruef and I gave Parsons a great deal of credit for offering one of the first systematic presentations of a multilevel theory of organizations' relations with their environments. He anticipated many of the themes that institutional theorists of organizations "rediscovered" many years later and his essays are still worth reading today.
Parsons' chain-smoking is probably what I remember best about that evening. Memories of his habit are confirmed in an interview Parsons did with Robert Reinhold for the ASA Newsletter around the time of his retirement, when he was asked about his role in American sociology and the bridge he provided to European sociologist. In reply to a question, he said "it happened to be my particular role, as it were, to act as an importer," and Reinhold then noted that Parsons said this as he lit up the first of six cigarettes consumed down to the filter in the course of a one hour interview. ASA Footnotes, August 1973.

A whopping 62 percent of self-identified liberal New Yorkers said they would consider an alternative to current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, according to a survey published by City & State Reports.
The survey also shows 64 percent of New York City voters who said they are willing to consider other alternatives to Mayor Bill de Blasio if the election were held today.
Among the alternative candidates, former City Council speaker Christine Quinn would get 17 percent of the vote. 10 percent of those surveyed said they would vote for businessman Donald Trump, another seven percent said they'd pull the lever for Success Academy CEO Eva Moskowitz, and 7 percent said they'd vote for actor Liam Neeson.
And with his hypothetical 26 percent, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg would beat Mayor Bill de Blasio who received support from just 25 percent of New Yorkers.


We are committed to building places for people to lead healthy, meaningful lives in a sustainable and responsible environment.
The built environment has great potential to make an immense difference in the amount of energy required to accommodate the needs of our communities.
We at GGA understand the importance of sustainable and responsible design. We understand the importance of sustainability in today's architecture and design industry, acknowledging the relevance of this directly through our actions. We approach sustainability in an integrated manner, looking holistically at the total project.
To us, creating sustainable and responsible solutions is more than implementing current trends and technologies. It acknowledges the need for responsive and adaptable design that is financially, environmentally and socially responsible for years to come. Implicit in all our designs are responsible decisions founded in careful research and analysis. Whether designing the first LEED Gold building in Southern Alberta, being part of the team to design and implement the first LEED Platinum certified high-rise project in Calgary, or designing a community centre to be one of the most inclusive facilities in Calgary, our design decisions are made collaboratively with our clients.
We see sustainability as a way of life.

NO HIGHLIGHTING
ICRC Overview 1999 - Landmines Must Be Stopped (International Committee of the Red Cross , 1999, 40 p.)
Mine awareness
Mine clearance
Main sources
Mines continue to inflict injuries and suffering everyday. One of the solutions to reducing the risk of accidents is demining. Mine clearance is required both by amended version of Protocol II to the CCW (anti-tank and anti-personnel mines) and by the Ottawa treaty (anti-personnel mines only).
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is not directly involved in undertaking or funding mine-clearance operations, but strongly supports the need for humanitarian demining efforts that take account of the real needs of affected communities. The United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) is the new focal point within the United Nations system for mine clearance. A number of dedicated specialist non-governmental organizations (NGOs), such as Halo Trust and the Mines Advisory Group from the UK and Norwegian People's Aid from Norway are active in clearing mines in many countries. In addition to supporting indigenous mine-clearance capacities, a number of governments are also financing research activities to develop improved mine-detection and mine-clearance techniques.
HUMANITARIAN MINE CLEARANCE
A humanitarian mine-clearance operation aims to remove all mines from an area in which civilians are already living or are planning to resettle, while minimizing the risks for demining personnel. Clearance operations usually include the following phases: minefield location and marking, detection of individual mines, disposal and/or demolition.
SOME ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED IN MINE-CLEARANCE ACTIVITIES
· In 1998, the United Nations had mine-clearance programmes in eight countries: Afghanistan, Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Croatia, Iraq, Laos and Mozambique. These programmes were run under the auspices of a mine action centre which carries out clearance operations, training programmes, awareness activities and assistance to victims. Close cooperation with the governments concerned and with NGOs involved in mine-related work is crucial in order to ensure sustainable national mine-clearance capacity and effective coordination of activities.
· The Mines Advisory Group (MAG) is a British NGO which has a global policy of establishing an indigenous capacity to respond to the long-term problem of mines. It trains selected local people from affected communities, including mine amputees, to survey, mark and clear minefields, and to set up community awareness programmes. MAG seeks first to clear the land that is most important to the community, which may not necessarily be in the areas where the greatest number of mines are to be found. Its work began in Iraqi Kurdistan in 1992, and has expanded rapidly with the establishment of programmes in Angola, Cambodia, Laos and Viet Nam.
· Based on its experiences gained in mine-related activities, Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) has developed a complete programme to address the many challenges that a country with a serious mine problem faces. It is designed so that the local authorities are able to continue the projects, both economically and technically, within five years. The programme includes the following elements: mapping minefields; training and organizing local deminers; demining, manually and using dogs; mine awareness programmes; developing new methods of demining; and international and national lobbying for a total ban on antipersonnel landmines. Active since 1992, NPA is currently involved in operations in Algeria, Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Iraq, Laos and Mozambique.
Locating minefields
Locating minefields involves delimiting and marking an area suspected of having mines, without necessarily finding them. The fact that in many conflicts mines are seldom laid in accordance with military doctrine means that mined areas are rarely demarcated and no records are available. Mine clearers often resort to local intelligence, asking the villagers where mine incidents have occurred and whether any livestock has been killed by mines, to identify areas likely to be mined. Once unmarked minefields are found, they must be demarcated. This task is often complicated in areas where marking signs may be valued as building materials or firewood. The fact that no mines are found in 90% of a suspected area does not necessarily mean that none will be discovered in the last 10%; the smallest "minefield" is of course a single, isolated mine.
Mine-clearance techniques
In many situations, the most effective and reliable detection technique remains the painstaking use of a hand-held prodder by a crouching deminer. However, more and more a "tool box" approach is used, which consists in combining different detection methods: mechanical means, to unearth or explode the devices; metal detectors (these do not react to mines containing very little or no metal), to locate the devices; trained dogs, to smell out explosives; and finally, manual search methods using prodders, such as bayonets or screwdriver-like instruments to probe the ground for the mine casing.
Once a mine has been detected, it needs to be disarmed and disposed of or destroyed on the spot. A mine can be neutralized by reinserting the safety pin, or by removing the detonator. Once neutralized, the mine can be disposed of safely. Because of anti-handling devices, booby-traps or unstable detonators, mines are often destroyed on the spot with an explosive, without ever being touched. Many experienced deminers have been killed or injured while trying to clear booby-trapped mines.
Better detection technologies would considerably increase the safety and efficacy of demining operations. Present technologies being developed include ground-penetrating radars, artificial noses and thermal imaging techniques.

The Transported haulage programme demonstrates perfectly the Transported ethos of "transporting art" and making it accessible.
As part of our ongoing partnership with FreshLinc, designed wraps on their lorries put art on a moveable canvas that reaches not only those in Lincolnshire, but beyond to Europe. They also celebrate our local area and what makes it special, in another recurrent theme of the Transported programme as a whole. The first 'Art on Lorries' project, Lincolnshire Loveliness, by artist Alisha Miller was completed and the final ten FreshLinc lorry designs were unveiled in April 2015, after a parliamentary launch of the first lorry in July 2014. We have also worked with Boston Borough Council on a similar project for their Refuse Freighters. This approach takes our partners through the commissioning process.

Head at Kingswear Primary School Interview by Steph Woolvin T
hey say size isn't everything and that's certainly true for Kingswear Primary. Nestled into the hillside with views overlooking the
Naval College, the school with it's 76 pupils is small, charming and unassuming. Head Jess Alford says her job is to create a stable educational family but be ready to adapt and even lead the way when it comes to the constantly shifting and challenging National Curriculum. Steph Woolvin was called to the head's office…. In the playground there's warmth and energy as the
children run up to Miss A happy to tell her their news and keen to make her smile. 31 year old Jess may be a young head but you can tell she's completely on top of things here at Kingswear. She has one eye on the comings and goings in the busy reception area and is half listening to the administrator's telephone conversation about a pupil unable to make it in but doesn't once falter when describing her aims and objectives.
Jess qualified in 2007 and started at Kingswear
Primary the following year teaching Reception, Year 1 and 2 (four - seven year olds). She says she always wanted to be a teacher: "There was never an alternative for me, I didn't ever question it, I just knew I wanted

to work with children. No two days are the same and each day you watch a child learn something new. It never fails to please me." Her passion may have come from her dad, who was a lecturer at Plymouth City College. Jess lived with him, her mum and brother in Ashprington before moving to Paignton where she currently lives. She took the position of Head of Teaching and learning at Kingswear in 2013/14 and then moved up to Head of School last September. One of Jess's first initiatives was the introduction of
a forest day. Every Monday the whole school relocates to a piece of land at the top of the hill. Kindly lent to them by farmers Edward and Emma Jones, it comes complete with an allotment, pond, bell tent and fire pit for toasting marshmallows. "I was determined to get the children up there," says outdoor loving Jess. "Not all children thrive in a classroom environment and I believe no child should ever leave school thinking they've failed. Open space can go a long way towards addressing any anxiety or self esteem issues. It gives all children the chance to run, explore and learn about science, technology and engineering in a practical and exciting way. Whether they're chopping wood, bird watching, building dens or creating animal feeders – they're learning. I especially love watching the


The UFC Heavyweight division is already a toss-up with the Cormier-Miocic-Lesnar love triangle. Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and interim champion Colby Covington hate each other with a burning passion, but haven't set a date to unify the title. Now, another weight class is going to be put on hold while its champion recovers from surgery.
The current UFC Middleweight Champion, Robert Whittaker (21-4), announced that he won't enter the octagon again until 2019.
"The Reaper" has said he anticipates returning to defend his title against third-ranked Chris Weidman at UFC 231. Kelvin Gastelum, the division's fourth-ranked fighter, is also in the mix for a title shot in 2019.
Whittaker suffered a broken hand in the first round of his UFC 225 split decision win over Yoel Romero. After a plate and screws were used to fix his right hand during surgery, as well as ligament damage in his left hand, Whittaker announced his hiatus on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show.
After Whittaker beat Romero at UFC 213, he was named the UFC's interim middleweight champion; Michael Bisping, champion at the time, was not fighting due to a knee injury. Whittaker missed the rest of 2017, himself, recovering from a left knee injury.
When Georges St-Pierre vacated his Middleweight title in December 2017, Whittaker was dubbed the undisputed champion without having to fight for unification of the titles.
Whittaker pulled out of a his first title fight due to an injury at UFC 221 against Luke Rockhold. He was replaced by Romero, who won the fight. Romero, however, missed weight and was not eligible to be named the interim champion.
At UFC 225, the bout was originally set to be for the UFC Middleweight Championship, however Romero weighed in over the 185-pound limit again; the match was billed as a non-title catchweight bout.
Whittaker, fighting out of Sydney, Australia, is one of only two current UFC title holders to be born outside of the United States; the other is current UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, born in Russia.
The Australian won the welterweight tournament in the first season of The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes. He's also agreed to coach the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter 28.
It will be another division put on hold for the UFC. President Dana White's efforts to groom contenders with a deeper pool of talent has brought the UFC unprecedented success.
Having a superstar champion like Conor McGregor or Ronda Rousey for the sport to lean on has been missing, and losing Whittaker again only adds to the void left behind.
Whittaker claims three Performance of the Night and four Fight of the Night bonuses to his 25-fight resumé.
We'll have to see what White and the UFC cook up next with the Middleweight division on hold.

History of Alimony in North Carolina
The history of spousal support (and child support), also called alimony or maintenance, can be traced back to the Code of Hammurabi, a Babylonian code of law dated back to 1754 BC, that declares that a man must provide sustenance to a woman who has borne him children. The Code provides that "If a man wishes to separate from a woman who has borne him children, or from his wife who has borne him children, then he shall give that wife her dowry, and a part of the usufruct of a field, garden, and property, so that she can rear her children. When she has brought up her children, a portion of all that is given to the children, equal as that of one son, shall be given to her. She may then marry the man of her heart."
A similar law can be traced back to the Code of Justinian, which is the codification of Roman law ordered early in the 6th century by Justinian I, who was an Eastern Roman emperor in Constantinople. The Code of Justinian essentially provided that a gift of dowry or a prenuptial donation be held in escrow by the husband for the support of the wife in the event the marriage failed due to no fault of the wife. The law provided that there were five reasons a man could divorce his wife: i. Treason against the government; ii. She plotted against him; iii. Adultery (If there were no children, husband would keep the prenuptial donation and 1/3 of any property that wife possessed. If there were children, the prenuptial donation and property would be held for them when they became adults); iv. She bathed with strangers, or attended banquets, circuses, theaters, etc. against his wishes; or v. Wife remains away from home without husband's knowledge or permission, unless she was visiting her parents. A wife, on the other hand, could divorce her husband for the following six reasons: i. Treason against the government; ii. He attempted to kill her or not warn her of a murder attempt by others; iii. He seeks to delivery her to another man for the purpose of committing adultery; iv. He accuses her of adultery but fails to prove her case; v. He entertained another woman in his wife's home or he is frequently with another woman and refuses to stop after being warned by wife's kinsmen; or vi. Husband is convicted of adultery (If there are children, wife retains prenuptial donation as alimony and gets portion to husband's property to preserve for ownership of their children. If there are no children, portion of husband's property to wife and portion of husband's property to the government).
In the United States, modern alimony traces its roots back to feudal times in England where title and control of a woman's property vested with her husband upon their marriage. In exchange for taking and controlling her property, the husband became responsible for support the wife for the rest of her life. This obligation to provide support continued even if the parties divorced, unless the divorce was the fault of the wife. If the wife's bad conduct or infidelity was the cause of the divorce, the wife would not be entitled to support from the husband. Over time, the law evolved to require the wife to prove that husband's misconduct or infidelity was the cause of the divorce, and thus entitle her to alimony.
The law in North Carolina before 1995 reflected this common law principal: that a dependent spouse seeking alimony must prove that the supporting spouse, whether husband or wife, committed marital fault before a court could consider their request for financial support. Additionally, then, regardless of whether the supporting spouse cheated, infidelity on behalf of the dependent spouse, before or after the date of separation, was a complete bar to receiving support.
The current spousal support laws of postseparation support (temporary alimony) and alimony in North Carolina were enacted in 1995. The current laws have diminished the role of marital fault in spousal support and focus more on economic need. Postseparation support is support that a dependent spouse is entitled to if the court determines that the dependent spouse's resources are not adequate to meet his or her reasonable needs, and the support spouse has the ability to pay. While a court may consider marital misconduct in making a determination of postseparation support, the impact of any marital misconduct on a potential postseparation support award is within the discretion of the judge. Infidelity, for example, does not automatically serve as a bar for a dependent spouse seeking postseparation support; rather it is a factor for a judge to consider in determining whether to grant an award of postseparation support. An award of postseparation support will continue until: i. the date specified in the postseparation support order; ii. the entry of an order awarding or denying alimony; iii. the dismissal of an alimony claim; iv. the entry of a judgment of absolute divorce if no claim of alimony is pending at the time the judgment of absolute divorce is entered; or v. modification of an order for postseparation support. It is important to understand that postseparation support is primarily designed to function as a means of securing temporary support for a dependent spouse in an expedited manner.
The current alimony laws in North Carolina replaced a fault-based approach in making an award of alimony with a needs-based approach. With the exception of illicit sexual behavior, marital misconduct is one of many factors a judge may consider in determining whether alimony should be awarded, the amount of alimony, and the duration of the alimony award. As mentioned above, fault does control an award of alimony when there has been illicit sexual behavior. North Carolina defines illicit sexual behavior as acts of sexual or deviate sexual intercourse, deviate sexual acts, or sexual crimes voluntarily engaged in by a spouse with someone other than the other spouse. In at least one case, by way of example, penetration of a vagina by a finger was determined to be an act of illicit sexual behavior. See Romulus v. Romulus, 215 N.C. App. 495 (2011).
Illicit sexual behavior impacts alimony in North Carolina as follows:
If the court finds that the dependent spouse participated in an act of illicit sexual behavior during the period of marriage and prior to or on the date of separation, then court SHALL NOT award alimony to the dependent spouse.
If the court finds that the supporting spouse participated in an act of illicit sexual behavior during the period of marriage and prior to or on the date of separation, then the court SHALL order that alimony be paid to the dependent spouse.
If the court finds that the dependent spouse and the supporting spouse both participated in an act of illicit sexual behavior during the period of marriage and prior to or on the date of separation, then alimony shall be awarded or denied in the discretion of the court based on consideration of all the circumstances. Any act of illicit sexual behavior that was condoned by the other party shall not be considered by the court.
Thus while the law is shifting away from fault in determining alimony, in North Carolina, illicit sexual behavior may serve as a bar or guarantee of an award of alimony. If you need to speak with an experienced spousal support attorney, contact Adkins Law to arrange a consultation.
