15th Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG) Retreat - Speech by Mr K Shanmugam, Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Law
My Parliamentary colleague, Amrin,
Co-Chairmen of the RRG, Ustaz Ali Haji Mohd and Ustaz Mohd Hasbi Hassan,
Mufti Dr Fatris Bakaram,
Previous Mufti, Syed Isa Semait,
Guest speaker from Malaysia, Dr Ahmad El-Muhammady,
Colleagues from MHA,
Chief Executive MUIS, Mr Esa Masood,
RRG members,
Good afternoon to all of you.
Let me start by giving my congratulations to the RRG Co-Chairmen - Ustaz Ali bin Haji Mohamed, as well as Ustaz Mohamad Hasbi bin Hassan, for receiving the Meritorious Service Medal last year for your services to the community and contributions to Singapore from the President.
This is only an expression by the state, it cannot repay the tremendous contributions both of you and the RRG have given to Singapore, but I think it is good that the state recognises the contributions that you have made.
Let me start by first saying can we observe a minute of silence for the victims of the Christchurch massacre.
The attack on the two mosques in Christchurch at the Friday congregation prayers, targeting the Muslim community, 50 people killed, men, women, young children, another 50 wounded. The attack was extremely carefully planned. Before that, the attacker issued a 73-page manifesto, full of hate, it was released online before the attack. Far-right, hate speech, anti-Muslim beliefs, and he live-streamed the attack, and he aimed for maximum deaths and damage. The car had improvised explosive devices, more weapons were discovered on the scene of the attack. There has been worldwide condemnation, but at the same time, you also see the ugly head of far-right Islamophobia. I've spoken about the Australian senator, Fraser Anning. He attacked Islam, he blamed Muslim immigration to Australia and New Zealand, he said these attacks highlighted the growing fear of increased Muslim presence, he said New Zealand's immigration programme allowed Muslim fanatics into the country. His speech, which I think, is among the very worst that you can think of. As I said, if it had been in Singapore, he would have been arrested. We don't allow this. Many people criticised us for the last 50 years, for the way we approach hate speech, but I think the world can see that when you encourage hate speech, within hours of people dying, you get this sort of speech, by a person who is in Parliament.
Thankfully, many people also criticised. Within six hours there was an online petition, calling for his removal from the Australian parliament, with 60,000 signatures. When more people speak like this, even people in positions of authority, and when the media carries stuff like this, when there is entertainment which contains hate speech - It does something to society, it normalises hate speech. It makes it acceptable that you say this. When you say it and someone else criticises it and you continue saying it, then more people say it, it becomes fair game. Everybody attacks somebody else's religion. What happens in society?
So, RRG was formed 16 years ago. At that time, it was to deal with radicalisation of Singaporeans, arising from Jemaah Islamiyah. But the threat has been evolving. By 2014, five years ago, the threat spiked from ISIS. As the threats have evolved, RRG's methods of rehabilitation have also evolved. I thank RRG for the support that you've given, in helping to deal with these threats, and helping our Muslim community in Singapore, go on the true path of Islam.
ISIS' physical caliphate is now nearly gone, but global terrorism is unfortunately not gone. The threats are evolving and changing. As you saw in Christchurch, it is an anti-Muslim attack. Yesterday, there was an attack in Netherlands. Three didn't survive. We don't yet know the causes, the attacker is a Turkish man. Whether it is personal reasons, or whether it is in the name of religion we don't know yet. But unfortunately the world that we see today, every day there is hate speech, every day there is attack on the different religious faiths. In Myanmar, the attacks are on Muslims. In Europe, Islamophobia is rising. In the Middle-East, most of the attacks and fatalities are Muslims, but committed by other Muslims. 95% of the attacks are caused by Muslims on Muslims. And we will have the cycle of violence around the world.
In the West, every time an attack happens, people come together, they condemn and put flowers – it is all important. But if we don't deal with the underlying reasons why there is violence, then the cycle will just continue. We have to break that cycle. How do you break that cycle? We have to deal with the underlying hate. We have to break the cycle by dealing with the hate speech, it's not going to be possible in the West I think, but actually you need tough laws to prevent hate speech against Islam, and you need tough laws to prevent young Muslim men from thinking that going out and killing others is the way to do things. Both sides, you need tough laws. But I don't think it's doable in many parts of the world. Sometimes in the media blitz of reports on terrorism, what is forgotten is that about 70% of attacks are caused by far-right, non-Muslim, often white attackers. It doesn't get enough media attention, and it doesn't get enough coverage, and online tech companies and platforms don't do enough to take down anti-Muslim messages.
In Singapore, we take a very no nonsense approach even though we get criticised by it. Different faith groups, I was glad to see, after the Christchurch attacks, immediately issued statements condemning the attacks, and expressed solidarity with Muslims in Singapore. They reiterated the importance of protecting and strengthening inter-religious unity and harmony.
These strong inter-community relations and communal harmony, is not by accident. It does not happen by itself and it cannot happen by itself. If you leave people on their own, inevitably they will emphasise on divisions and not the commonalities. The commonality is forgotten; the divisions are emphasised.
So we have been and we have to continue to actively work on bringing people together. Without that, it will not work. Who is the we? It is all of you. Every community, every group, every religious leader and of course the Government. All working together to achieve this.
We have come a long way. Today, if anybody puts up an anti-Christian or anti-Islam or anti-Buddhist or anti-Hindu message, ISD will go and talk to them. If they continue, they will be arrested. If anybody talks about burning the Quran, they will be arrested. No questions, immediately. But in other places, this is free speech.
People's attitudes are "I want to go and watch. If you don't like it, you don't go and watch. So why are you stopping me?" What they do not understand is that we live in a society. If you go to something like this, it has the impact of normalising such speech. If it is entertainment, why not the media, why not in other places? Then if you can say it about Christians, why not say it about Muslims too? If you do not like it then you do not have to go and watch it. What does it do to society?
You can see the consequences in other places. The young man who did the killings, played a Serbian song which glorified the killing of Muslims. It is a song too. Songs can be powerful. They are not as powerful as a religious speech, they may not be as impactful as sometimes what politicians may say. They can have an impact. Not all songs. They are different things; we have to make a judgement. I intend to have a proper debate in Parliament where we will deal with this because every generation has to understand what works in Singapore and why we are ranked number one in social harmony and religious harmony in the world. Not by accident. What are the principles underlying it? Why is it that all of us are able to gather here without any fear, without any concern, and knowing with every confidence that no one out there can make an anti-Muslim statement? No one will. And if he did, he will be dealt with. You will have every confidence.
Why is that possible? It is not possible in most places in the world. Most places where Muslims are minorities, it is not possible. But, as I emphasised, we are not done yet. I think we need to have a proper debate in Parliament to discuss these issues again. It has been repeated generation after generation. Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his generation talked about it. Subsequently, Mr Goh and his generation talked about it. Singaporeans have been constantly talking about it. It is understandable. We have to talk about these things and we need to have a debate because we need to explain why we do certain things, the way we do it, and this will be done in Parliament soon.
Have we achieved the ultimate state where race relations are perfect - far from it. The reality is that 2017, CNA did a survey, it was titled "Regardless of Religion", and in September of last year IPS did a survey "Community Relations Amidst the Threat of Terror", they found fairly significant levels of mistrust between the races. The CNA survey found if an extremist Islamic organisation based overseas is suspected of an attack here, 20 percent of Singaporeans will be angry with Muslims. Even though it is a foreign organisations and the attackers are foreign. They will be angry with Singaporean Muslims or Muslims in general.
The IPS survey showed that Singaporeans will react negatively, with more suspicion, after an attack by overseas Muslims. If there is an overseas Muslim attack on Singapore, Singaporeans in general, will be more negative towards Muslims. But if an overseas Hindu attack in Singapore, or overseas Christian, or overseas Buddhist attack in Singapore, they won't be as negative towards the Buddhists or Christians in Singapore.
So the constant media attention because of the incidents or events about Muslims elsewhere in the world, has had an impact on our population. So when there is an attack, regardless of where it comes from, our people will be more suspicious of local Muslims.
Which is why we are very strict about it, because the laws alone are not going to be enough. We have to work hard in the schools, we have to work hard in the community, we have to get the agencies working together, we have to constantly have leaders talking about this, and getting people to understand. And also, MHA has a programme – SGSecure, which all across Singapore, in every constituency, they get the grassroots leaders, and we get them to link up with the community. In the event of an attack, they will go out, they will talk to the community, they will try to stop the spread of rumours, they will assure the community and they will get the religious leaders to come forward and make statements which are supportive of the Muslim community. Get our people to understand that this is an extremist group, it's not Muslims in general. And likewise, if the attack is by Christians or Hindus.
So we make no apologies for the approach we take and we will continue to take a tough and strict approach, but a fair approach, across all communities. That is, I think, the only way to make sure that everybody can go about their businesses, do what you want, achieve their full potential, profess whichever faith you want, pray to whichever god you want. That's your right, and we protect that right.
So in the midst of all these happenings around the world, Singapore, so far, and I emphasise, so far, remains an oasis of calm and peace. Even compared to this region, we have made an oasis of calm and peace. It's because organisations like RRG, you do very good work, work within yourself, and working with us, your credibility on the ground. If I go and talk about it, I don't have credibility, but you have credibility and you speak against misguided and violent ideologies. Setting up of the RRG Resource and Counselling Centre (RCC), RRG helpline, and RRG Facebook page – all these are necessary, useful and good. It will help you connect better with the community. They provide easy access to the RRG and access to a legitimate source of religious knowledge. Together, it builds resilience among the community against radical ideas.
The Awareness Programme for Youth (APY) has recently completed its second run and is a reflection of RRG's tireless effort to reach out to young people, to help them understand Islam and how it has to be practiced in a multi-racial environment. As Mr Lee famously said, this is not a Chinese country, this is not a Malay country, this is not an Indian country. We come together. So how you practise your religion in a multi-religious context. Your efforts help to build bridges within the community, but also across communities, which is important. So I encourage everyone to uphold the spirit of learning, and learn from the best practices.
I am very glad that we have our distinguished speaker from Malaysia. We have to constantly learn. He has got a lot of experience, he has worked with the Malaysian Police, amongst others and has a deep understanding of what causes people to go into this, how you rehabilitate them. I think the best way to learn is from practitioners. Their efforts to prevent young people from being influenced by militant groups and our own people. Our own people, your own members have gone on a research trip to Indonesia, how is Indonesia doing things. I hope that the trip was fruitful and I hope that you will gain much from Dr Ahmad's experiences and insights into countering violent extremism.
Thank you and I wish you a very successful retreat.

A car fire can result from almost any type of collision, but sometimes it's not the accident at all that sparks the flames. Sometimes it's a design flaw or manufacturing defect in the vehicle's electrical system that causes the fire. Car fires can cause traumatic injuries such as severe burns and amputations, as well as wrongful death. Find out if you have grounds to bring a claim against a vehicle manufacturer for a car fire that caused your injuries or a loved one's death in Dallas.
The vehicle defect lawyers at the Law Firm of Aaron A. Herbert, P.C. have years of experience handling complex claims against vehicle manufacturing companies. Our Dallas firm has gone up against major multinational companies in pursuit of compensation for our clients' serious and debilitating injuries, including burns from car fires due to electrical defects. If you need legal assistance with your claim, speak with one of our attorneys today.
Electrical defects can cause lights to flicker or malfunction. "Lights" was the number one type of vehicle defect on Statista's list with 22%. Malfunctioning vehicle lights can leave drivers abruptly without headlights or brake lights, causing accidents. They can also cause sudden engine failure, disabled safety systems, burnt components, smoke, and fires. Manufacturers can cause electrical defects through design flaws, poor-quality parts, improper installation, and failure to properly test the safety of the system.
As the victim of a car fire, it's your right to investigate whether an electrical defect is at the heart of your injuries. Do so with help from our Dallas attorneys. A product liability attorney can be a significant asset to you after any type of car accident, as he or she can investigate your crash and uncover evidence of defective or dangerous parts. Your lawyer can also negotiate higher insurance settlements on your behalf, as well as protect your rights in the face of insurance claims adjusters who may try to take advantage of crash victims. If you suffered catastrophic injuries or the death of a loved one in a car fire, however, retaining a lawyer is even more important.
Catastrophic injuries are those that inflict long-lasting harm on the victim, such as long-term or permanent pain, scarring, disfigurement, or disability. Burns from car fires are often catastrophic, causing third-degree burns and lifelong physical changes. Bad burns can require long hospital stays, surgeries, skin grafts, and lengthy recovery and rehabilitation times. The risk of infection is high with severe burns, as is the risk of amputation of infected or mangled limbs.
If this sounds like your recent injuries from a car fire, don't hesitate to talk to our lawyers. Our initial client consultations are always free, so you have nothing to lose in getting our legal opinion. You could be eligible for significant compensation through a defective auto part product liability claim in Dallas. Call (214) 200-4878 to talk to an attorney today.

Translating Institutions EU Review
Updated on July 3, 2018
There do not seem to be many books devoted to the subject of European Union institutional translation, although this is made up with a surfeit of articles upon the subject. I have dozens at least upon my computer! This lack of books is compounded by it seeming to be the case that many of the books which do exist are essentially collections of articles. Many of these are upon broader issues related to translation, upon political issues in the EU, upon ideas for reform and current topics for translation. There are very few traditional books, written by a single author, dedicated to exploring and expounding a cohesive thesis upon European translation and translators. It is this which makes Translating Institutions; An Ethnographic Study of EU Translation by Kaisa Koskinen, a sociology study of the Finnish translation unit in the Directorate-General for Translation, the translation service of the European Commission, so vitally important. It gives a useful window into the lives, principles, and actions of Finnish translators and does a lot to provide for this neglected subject.
Finns in Luxembourg : not the most populous grouping, but Finnish translators in the European Union have to come from somewhere...
Chapter 1, "Introduction", lays out the research philosophy of the book, related to the so-called the nexus model, where the focus is upon observing the context and situationality of what is being studied to enable an understanding of connections and identities. It lays out what it wishes to do, which is examine the identity and the effects of the Luxembourg-based Finnish translators in the European Commission upon translation, the reasons for the selection of the Finnish case, its broader relevance, and some associated issues. What was studied to produce this research - a microhistory of a single text translated by the Luxembourg Finnish translation section. Furthermore an overview of the book's organization is provided.
Part I, Theory and Methadology, starts with Chapter 2, Translating Institutions and Institutional Translations, spends quite an extensive amount of time defining what the author means in using the term institution. The author has a very broad view of institutions, including under that title social institutions such as customs - the giving of gifts for example - which merit being analyzed, a traditional focus of sociology. These social institutions produce norms which then proceed to dictate our actions, such as in this case translation. Translation is according to her, something which is deeply affected by its depiction and norms surrounding it, such as in its marginalization in literary criticism, publishing, and copyright. Government translation is an example of institutional translation, translation done for the institution, and the author felt that she had been the most confined and limited when translating for the European Union. Institutional translation is not translating for the institution, but instead translating the institution.Some of the instances of this playing out in various countries qnd organizations is displayed and the increasing relevance of this, especially in the Finnish case where increasing multi-lingualism and the special nature of Finland and the Finnish language help make Finland into an excellent example of language positionality in the world. There the author describes factors impacting translating in Finland and how translators are trained,
Chapter 3, Ethnographic Approach to Institutional Translation, is devoted to explaining and justifying the author's choice of an ethnographical approach, and defining what an ethnographic approach means in this case - ethnography not as a study of far off and foreign peoples and cultures but as a holistic and personal study of groups closer to home. She goes on to define the way win which she intends to use culture for studying the EU, and the EU's cultural status - whether it has a culture of its own in its institutions, which the author believes to be the case, as a nexus of linkages. This stands at the center of affinities and identities. Other discussions include the status of an observer and efforts to ensure ethical research.
Focus groups are the principal research tool used by the other other than textual analysis.
Part II, Translation in the European Commission, thus commences with Chapter 4, "Language Work in the European Commission". This chapter talks about the underpinnings of the EU's multi-lingualism structure and its manifestation in the EU, plus how research has dealt with the topic, and what the objectives and guidelines are in regards to translation work. It then explains the structure of EU translation institutions, and moves into a physical description of the working environment of the Directorate-General for Translation. We first meet our Finnish grouping here, perhaps oddly enough in a discussion about how the Finns were the first one to change their office furnishing from carpeting to linoleum. The composition, work régimes, and social world of the workers in the Finnish unit are described, one of isolation from Luxembourg and continued connection to Finland.
Chapter 5, "Institutional Identifications", is devoted to how the Finns feel in their identity - are they the first New Europeans, a transformed group of multi-cultural and pan-European citizens? The author used focus groups to study this and explains her choice and usage of this approach and of course associated ethical dilemnas, grounding it appropriately in research. What is revealed is an ambivalent identity, where although the translators are designated as officials like any other, they believe themselves to be apart from, and perhaps lower than, regular officials. Their social histories are shown, and their rankings of what they think to be important in their work listed. But the most useful information is their perspective on what their objectives are in such regards, rather than just listing it in a list; it shows a community devoted to communication with their target audience; but handicapped by limitations and rules on them and lack of knowledge. While they are almost a caste apart in Luxembourg, having maintained their own identities and living in a very Finnish community, their social life and outlook has nevertheless been altered by their time in the EU's capitol, making them less reclusive, more social and friendly.
The Finnish translation unit is distinctly Finnish and even insular in their life, but also thoroughly international in their mission and outlook. An intriguing contrast and a good depiction of the difficulties of a European identity.
Chapter 6, "Social study of texts", and the first chapter of Part III, "Institutional Text Production", concerns itself with the analysis of texts. This starts with outlining the drafting process, which places the institution of the European Commission at the center and tends to produce overly specialized and difficult to understand texts. A text whichad been tranalsted into Finnish was then analyzed, particularly errors and reasons behind these. Some were simple translation errors, but others resulted from the need to strictly translate certain words and which produced a different sense for the text, reducing the level of clarity and understanding.
Chapter 7, "Net Results", is as the title proclaims a response to questions the author raised. Do Finnish translators have their own identity or a European one? In fact, it seems more that they have achieved a cultural niche within the European Commission, neither truly part of it nor separate, and effectively marginalized. Although translators were constantly centered upon readability in their texts, they are marginalized and norms and pragmatism effectively prevents this from being carried out. Some proposals and quotations of what the role of a European translator should be are supplied, and the author provides a final reflection on ethics and her own involvement.
When starting to read this book, I had found the initial third of it rather useless. 60 pages devoted to theoretical background, to clarifying and specifying the research, defining terms, and talking about the research - while this is good in limited quantities, the sheer length of all of this seemed to start to qualify it to be used for a book in of its own right! Compounding this I found much of what the author discussed concerning theoretical areas to be convoluted, hazy, and difficult to understand; perhaps this was merely my feeble mind, but regardless I do honestly think that much of this was unnecessary and could have been much reduced without in any way harming the later content of the book. After having finished this section, I was prepared to pan the book, which seemed to offer little substance and too much theory for what it was ostensibly aiming to portray.
Thankfully, this did not turn out to be the case, and the actual research as displayed in Part II, Translation in the European Commission, turned out to be quite relevant and fascinating. There was a large corpus of facts and information, plenty of quotes and other primary sources, strong analysis of them, and a holistic understanding of how they all fit together. As mentioned I find it to be quite unfortunate that there are so few books which attempt to deal with the topics of translators and their actual experiences in the European Union, and this book does quite a lot to counter this : we get a very good feel for the identity, both in quantitative and qualitative terms, of the Finns in the Directorate-General for Translation. In addition it reveals much of their thoughts, opinions, and beliefs, and in this way in their oral expressions : it can be glimpsed elsewhere, but the focus groups which the author did provide a more much direct, and despite their roughness, elegant way to phrase the ideals of the translators. The author's writing style flows well, such as the description of the Jean Monnet translation building, and it ties all of these concepts excellently into broader themes.
The Jean-Monnet building where translators worked, now a function shifted elsewhere.
There are admittedly in my opinion, quite a few problems associated : there is a lack of historical context : was it always like this with these issues in the European translating units? Some more direct discussions of the problems faced by the translators, as said by themselves, would have been welcome. There is a lack of comparative analysis : is the Finnish section unique within the Directorate-General for translation, or a special case : the author does write about the general identity of translators, but there isn't nearly as much research linking this to the Finns. There is a lack of discussion of changes and problems facing translators, like English's hegemony and their relationship to it, and given how much it is mentioned elsewhere that terminology is a tremendous difficulty for translators in the European Union, more than the brief few pages on it would have been nice. Any political actions or feelings on part of the translators would have done more to give a more full picture of them : the translators feel like inanimate objects acted upon by forces beyond their power, and while they do seem marginalized, I am sure that there is additional information to the story. The relationship to technology is hinted at but doesn't receive as much attention as I think it merits.
This is a litany of errors, but there seems to be few volumes that match this book in giving a depiction of work inside the Directorate-General for Translation, and even fewer that provide its variety of analyses and conclusions. Its a shame that it isn't a longer book, or perhaps that it wasn't more focused on the topic : while I am not expert in ethnography, the vast amount of secondary and background material read as unnecessary to me. The confluence of advantages and the window that it brings nevertheless makes it a strong volume that would be useful for anybody studying translation issues, translation in the European Union, ethnography and its research methods (as mentioned quite often the author provides an extremely extensive grounding for her work), elements of the workings of the European Commission, and institutional analyses. It isn't perfect, but it is invaluable.

I had a chance to participate in conferences and meetings where simultaneous translations take place and I always admired the translators but the insight in this book that intrigued me is the emergence of the need to study culture because of this translation. It is also intriguing that the Finnish though insular are also international in their mission. You just piqued my interest to read this book.

Not only will the cost of entry ($5) snag you free Maker's Mark bourbon, but you will also be helping raise cash money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Let's help our boys take care of their boys and have some drinks while we are at it!
Inaugural Members of the AIS will be marauding around Wustfest Saturday, November 7th, 2009. Join us, as we drink from glass boots and consume mass quantities of potato pancakes, fried foods, and encased meats. Admission is $8.00.
"People become responsible by being properly taught, given responsibility, and then held accountable for their actions. We don't tell young people to "just say no" to driving, fail to teach them to drive, and then on their 18th birthday give them drivers licenses and turn them loose on the road. But this is the logic we follow for beverage alcohol because neo-prohibitionism underlies our alcohol policy."
Here here! The doctor is in, and he recommends a prescription of logic and responsibility.
Our visit to the Independence Brewery in South Austin was a success. It was much more crowded and sunny then we had anticipated, but we had a lot of fun tasting beer and conversatin'. My favorite part was the plethora of dogs running around. The brew was tasty, I liked the Pale Ale the best. We all had a great time and then visited the nearby Catfish Parlor for deep fried goodness. I do believe the Austin Imbiber's Society will be back to visit the Independence Brewery again.
AIS member Dee submitted this blog for our all important society's review.
I propose we have an outing one sunday night and mosey on down to check it out.
Here is a recipe from The Tipsy Texan using Paula's Texas Orange some of us may have sampled at our inaugural meeting.
Combine ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake vigorously; strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
The Austin Imbiber's Society is a celebration of all things imbibed for the joy of human kind. We, as a group, find that alcohol is often demonized. If used responsibly and when people have personal responsibility, alcohol may be enjoyed to its fullest capabilities. Anyone and everyone can join our celebration of spirits, as long as they are over 21. We are currently looking for sponsors in the Austin area and plan on working within the Austin community to raise awareness on the joys of imbibing. Ahem, cough cough - Spec's we're looking at you!

Where can you see The Christ and the Angel?
Where can you see the Dove?
Where can you see the image of The Christ and the Angel?
The image of The Christ and the Angel can be seen on the San Jacinto Mountain in Palm Springs. As you can see in the picture above, their images are very clear.
This is a totally natural phenomena, images etched in the rock. Most impressive, the Angel was naturally sculptured in the rock, and even more amazing is that the Angel is seen on a small mountain as a pyramid shape, and the Angel is where the Chamber of the King would be on an Egyptian pyramid. That should amaze all of us.
After a month and a half living in the desert, I quickly realized the purpose was to bring awareness to the Angel on the mountain.
I was inspired by the Angel in 2006 to compose my CD, Symphony of Light, to honor her presence and to bring awareness to her.
Both Christ and Angel images are absolutely amazing to witness, however the Angel has messages for all of us.
Acknowledging her (as I think it is a she) is a start. Communicating with her is another. Receiving messages from her is another.
It is up to each of us whether we accept her message as truth and use if in our lives.
Again, this image etched on the rock is not here for NO reason!!!
Its image is so clear. And there may be a good reason why it is so clear right now for EVERYONE TO SEE!
If one day, you see her image fading away rapidly from the mountain, or see a sudden change in her appearance, whatever it might be, please be aware that she will give a signal to you, who see and acknowledge her, to alert and save you from any potential catastrophic events.
Know that if such a phenomena was happening that you should contact me, your friends, neighbors, and local authorities immediately then reach higher grounds right away. Observe and follow the animals, as they always sense when something abnormal and dangerous is about to occur and they flee in the direction to be safe, that you should also follow.
1) If all people followed the animals when the tsunami hit Thailand after the earthquake in Indonesia, not as many people would have perished. It is often our ignorance or our refusal to believe in the signs of Nature that causes our sufferings.
2) If Italian authorities would have listened to Mr. Giampaolo Giuliani who predicted the Italian earthquake of April 5, 2009 and did not ask him to remove his prediction from his website, not as many people would have perished in that area.
Observe and you will always be guided what to do and where to go in due time. Trust your intuitions always!
The Dove is like the same natural phenomena than the Angel and the Christ, except it is on the Hills of Desert Hot Springs, (town north of Palm Springs).
The best time to see it is in mid-afternoon.
It is my understanding the dove is pointing towards, and is spiritually linked to the White Dove Franciscan Church, located just south of Tucson, Arizona.
I deeply know I was guided to relocate to this Coachella Valley (the native american translation is "Palm of God") for a mission. After a month and a half living here, I quickly realized the purpose is to bring awareness to the Angel on the mountain. Both Christ and Angel images are absolutely amazing to witness, however the Angel has messages for us, to save us.
The Angel, The Christ, and The Dove are on the same line. The dove is connected/pointed/spiritually linked to the 'White Dove' Franciscan church, south of Tucson, Arizona. This last place is filled with wooden sculptured Angels inside the church.
The Christ and the Angel, are naturally etched on the rock of the San Jacinto mountain in Palm Springs, Ca. and the dove, on the hills of Desert Hot Springs, a worldwide renown city for its best waters in the USA and its numerous natural hot springs, located north of Palm Springs and at the foot of Joshua Tree National Park.
I knew there was a good reason for the Angels guiding me to this magnificent desert.
These spiritual/religious images etched on the rock are there for us to catch our attention, stop for a moment, see, feel, enjoy and be thankful. They are not just here for NO reason.
Like most mountains with high levels of energies (vortexes), such as found in Mt Shasta, California, our local mountain also attracts spaceships. On cloudy days, spaceships take place on top of the mountain, and while real clouds pass by, these lenticular clouds stay for a longer time, sometimes for as up to 12 to 24 hours on top of our area without moving.
It seems like there is more to be discovered, more dots that connect each other to a geometrical and maybe even mathematical purpose. I will update this page when more dots will be connected to the ones we have already: the Angel, the Christ, the Dove and the 'White Dove' church.
If you too, have any insights, contact me through my email, as I welcome them with gratitude and grace.

Quite often a [tag-tec]damsel fish[/tag-tec] is one of the first fish which is introduced to the aquarium, however this might not be a good thing to do – the reason is that they are very territorial and quite aggressive.
I can understand the reasons as to why people introduce these fish first as they are quite hardy fish and can tolerate the conditions of the aquarium when it is first set up – as long as the aquarist is responsible. The trouble though is that once they settle in they can become quite troublesome.
Hi. The black/white type damsels seem in general to be more agressive than the blue types. Is it possible to remove the dominos? If not, could you remove the chromis and give them to an aquarist or local hobby shop so they can recover? Best of luck anyway.
I have to agree – I think that you should attempt to remove the damsels from your aquarium. Once removed then the chromis will start to recover. Another alternative is to remove the chromis and either return them to your local fish shop or place them in your sump – if you have one.
That's the trouble with damsel fish, they are ok when you first put them in but after a while they become territorial and start bullying other fish, it gets worse as they get older as well.
i first started tank with maroon clown chocolate chip star live rock. then added orange clown. general star fish. then two blue damsels. one yellow damsel two velvet and black damsels. they don't seem to be aggressive yet but should i keep a close eye on them? chocolate chip star died looked like chunks were missing out of it do you think a fish could of done that or the pet store said the general star probably did it. Any replay would be appreciated.
With the mixture of damsels you have in the aquarium I am surprised that there has not been any agression shown as of yet. You do not mention however how large the aquarium is or how long it has been running. What you may see over time is that the damsels start to become agressive as they age more.
With relation to the star fish I very much doubt that this will have been caused by a fish as whilst nippy fish they would probably not have the capacity to be able to take chunks out of the starfish.
If I remember correctly general starfish should not be kept in a reef aquarium and do need a large aquarium however I do not know the size of the aquarium of whether it is fish only or a reef tank.
I would be surprised however if the general starfish was the culpret.
It could be that there is something slightly wrong with your water parameters and the starfish has simply passed away and has been both 'pecked' at by the fish as well started to decay.
Any idea how to remove damselfish (chromis) from show tank without disturbing aquascape and corals? Is there some kind of trap for chromis? I want to try to catch them when they are "asleep" but it requires removing live rock. They're getting bigger and two of them are becoming more and more agressive. I would appreciate if someone can email me an idea. Thank you!
If you decide to go the fish trap route (shameless plug) Click my name to be taken to my site. Click any link and search for fish trap.
It is very hard to remove fish from an aquarium when there is rocks and corals present.
As already said there are various traps which are available. Some which do work and other which don't appear to be that good.
Patience really is key. They can be removed at feeding time by using two nets, however you do need to take your time and as said be patient.
If the removal at feeding time does not work and neither does a trap then unfortunately I think you will need to take apart some of your rockwork.
I have an 80gal reef tank. Was considering a group of blackbar chromis (chromis retrofasciata) maybe 4 or 5 , I have 2 maroon clowns,1 tailspot blenny, 1 hectors gobie, 1 royal gramma, and….. 2 springers damsels (they live on opposite sides of the tank but are not aggressive when they frequently Visit the others territory) Lots of live rock to hide, plenty of unclaimed area's and open water over the reef.
Will the chromis be tolerated by the damsels?
Does Anyone have any experiences that may be helpful, other than the typical "damsels are territorial"?
I hate questions like that! I don't know. I have always placed any damsel in the aquarium last so that the other fishes that could be at risk are already settled with secure areas of their own. I have a blue damsel (Chrysiptera cyanea) that went in last and no problem – the damsel is bossed about by a flame angel (Centropyge loriculus). I have to state that there are only two fish in the aquarium anyway, by design, even though it could house many more. So perhaps only experience will tell and that needs someone who owns the fish you want. If there is a problem then rectifying it could be a pain, even down to dismantling the rockwork, not fun. Perhaps a good trawl of the internet on all the characteristics of the fish would steer you in the right direction. I've always gone by the 'if not reasonably sure don't' philosophy.

National Reach
With over 200 combined years of experience in the construction industry, the team at NPSG Development has performed all types of building and design. Ranging from industrial warehouses, to medical surgical centers, to high rise casinos in Las Vegas, our team shares extensive experience in planning and design, ground up construction and build outs of existing spaces. Within this range of experience there is one unifying factor, the NPSG Development team has been working within the construction space for a very long time, most from a very young age.
Under the direction of Robert Mooney, whose work history literally started in the trenches as a college student to construction management of large retail spaces, educational facilities and industrial warehouses, the team at NPSG Development brings a unique approach to every part of the building process. Robert leads our team of construction professionals, sharing his passion for quality workmanship, relationship building, and mutual respect in the work place.
Over the last several years NPSG Development has proven their ability to think fast and act quickly, responding to ever-changing demands in the marketplace. Currently working in markets ranging from Seattle to New York, NPSG Development continues to grow its relationships throughout the US.
With our sister company, Advanced Sports Group (ASG), we are also uniquely positioned to provide a turn-key construction/development solution for all types of competitive sports venues. We have the ability to convert a blank canvas to a multi-sport, multi-functional recreational complex.
Meet our team:
Robert Mooney, President
Robert Mooney, President, leads with over 35 years in the construction industry, specializing in both commercial and residential building. Due to this extensive history in the industry, Robert understands every part of the construction process. One of his favorite projects was the complete renovation of a 4-story 100-year-old brick building in Richmond, Virginia. After cutting in an elevator shaft through 100-year-old timbers, from basement to roof, and adding a heated swimming pool, his team turned this abandoned building into one of the premiere sports medicine facilities in the South East.
Ron Welch, Construction Manager
Ron brings over 33 years of experience alone, as field engineer and project superintendent for hotels, co-work office space development, educational complexes and retail stores. He has also worked as a land developer and a DOE contractor. His favorite projects are usually ground-ups, like hotels, due to the extreme transformations he witnesses.
Heath Meadows, Project Manager
Heath's story begins slightly differently, in the athletic sports flooring industry, where he built and constructed gymnasium floors. That developed into a career building ground up residential, small box retail, office and restaurant developments of over 1,000,000 square feet. His experience in upfitting a space has been particularly beneficial to our team.
Matt Richardson, Sr Estimator/Project Manager
Also beginning his career at a young age in construction, Matt excelled in all aspects of infrastructure work, including water, sewer and gas lines, pipeline work and grading. He also spent several years in commercial interiors, specifically medical and surgical centers. His favorite project was installing natural gas lines from a landfill to reclaim and power a Coca Cola plant.
Michael Scouten, General Superintendent
Skilled in both residential and commercial construction, including both cold storage and IMP (insulated metal panelling) and ammonia and glycol systems, Michael has a length history of leading teams at NPSG Development. He brings extensive knowledge of light and heavy industrial work, as well as office and technology park construction. He has successfully completed projects on time in over 22 states across the country.
Sunny Long, Superintendent
Growing up in the family business, Sunny began as a Journeyman carpenter at a young age. Compounding on that experience, he built high rise casinos in Las Vegas, as well as industrial ground up construction and build outs, acting as General Superintendent. He also spent over 20 years of his career building waste water treatment plants. His favorite one was a very large $200M job in Salsbury, Maryland.
James Dwyer, Superintendent
Jimmy brings over 18 years of general construction expertise to NPSG D with specific attention to excavation and site work. His extensive time on the job site lends a unique ability to connect, oversee and partner with our vast network of sub-contractors. Jimmy also works closely with the client on-site, creating a high level of confidence through open communication and timely deadline completion.
David Mills, Assistant Superintendent
David started his career at a young age, working with his father who is a custom cabinet builder. Between work in residential and commercial construction, David served our country for two tours in Desert Storm and Desert Shield. His favorite project was building parent and caretaker housing for the Ronald McDonald House charities all over the country.
Additional Support Staff:
Tracy English, Project Coordinator
Kadee Whipple, Controller
Madison Clark, Project Accountant
Charity Gherardini, Marketing Director

Ski - Town and Municipality
The rail road came to Ski in 1879 and a town grew up around the rail road.
As of January 1st 2010 Ski has 28023 inhabitants and it is the biggest municipality in the Follo region, which is one of the three main regions in the county of Akershus. Slightly less than half of its inhabitants live in Ski.
Many of Ski's inhabitants work in Oslo, which is easily accessed both by car and train, although there is heavy rush hour traffic. There are a lot of job opportunities in Ski, especially within the line of service. Additionally Ski is rich in agriculture and forest.
One of the oldest settlement findings in Norway, Stunnar, has been made in Ski, dating back from approximately 7500 B.C. Today this place lies almost 170 meters above sea level, but for a period in the Stone Age Stunnar was situated close to the sea. Ski has two stone churches in Roman style dating from the Middle Ages, Ski church and Kråkstad church, both from around 1150.
Since the 1950ies Ski has participated in cultural exchange programs with towns in other Nordic countries: Gladsaxe in Denmark, Solna in Sweden, and Pirkkala in Finland.
The history of the school starts in 1921, but it did not become an upper secondary school until 1938. Today's school building was built in 1968. The name of the school, Ski videregående skole (Ski sixth form college/high school), dates from 1976.
Originally the school was a lower secondary school with two classes running for three years. The pupils had completed compulsory primary education. After lower secondary they could continue in upper secondary, but then they had to commute to Oslo.
In 1938 Ski got its first upper secondary classes – one in Arts and one in Science. The classes were popular and the biggest one had 47 pupils. In 1939 the first school building was built. This building became too small after a while and the school had to rent class rooms elsewhere.
The present day school building was completed in1968. To avoid the traditional long corridors, this building consisted of an attendance hall with a stage - with the hall in the middle and the class rooms surrounding it. This big hall was used for different kinds of occasions and arrangements, both during the day and in the evenings, and it was a good place for the pupils to gather during the school day. But during the reconstruction of the school in 1999, the hall was made into a library in stead.
The upper secondary education system has gone through several reforms during the last 40 years. In 1970 Ski became one of the so-called reform schools. Hence the pupils where given a lot more options than what was normal in a traditional upper secondary school.
Since 1976 the school has been named Ski videregående skole. An upper secondary school can be both vocational (trade school) and non-vocational with different theoretical study programs. ("utdanningsprogram" in Norwegian.) Ski has largely remained a theoretical school but offers today both theoretical subjects as well as physical education and arts (music, dance and drama). Since 1969 the school also offers evening classes for adults, and in 1986 special courses for foreign pupils were added to the list.
The school offers three different educational programs:
The Study Programme for Specialization in General Studies
The Study Programme for Physical Education
The Study Programme for Music, Dance and Drama
The Study Programme for Specialization in General Studies previously offered a specialised study program for speakers of minority languages. However today these pupils are expected to follow the regular curriculum, but they are entitled to follow special classes with fewer pupils within the core curriculum. They may also receive extra hours in English and Norwegian.
School admission requires a valid residence permit. The applicant must also have completed primary and lower secondary school or the equivalent from their native country, and they must have a basic knowledge of Norwegian.
In addition to the three-year study program, the school also offers a one year introductory course for the speakers of minority languages. These classes aim to prepare the pupils for the three-year study programs. This course focuses mainly on subjects such as Norwegian, Social Science, Mathematics, English, Natural Science and Physical Education. Furthermore the pupils are given a thorough introduction into the possibilities of further education and job opportunities.
Foreign Pupils
Since 2006 Ski videregående skole has been a resource centre for foreign speaking pupils/refugees. Here the counsellors try to ensure that the pupils who do not master the Norwegian language get a good learning experience and a good learning process. These counsellors also keep in contact with primary and lower secondary when necessary.
For the foreign speaking pupils and their families information about the school and the school's rules and regulations can be found online, in addition to introductory information in many different languages.
Our counsellors mainly work in two areas. They offer educational welfare counselling and career counselling. Their object is to help pupils with school related problems or with personal or social related issues. They can, for instance, create an individual subject syllabus for pupils with special educational needs. If possible the counsellors will contact the pupil's contact/main teacher and parents/guardians as well as support systems within or outside school. The counsellors are also able to assist the teachers with their learning/class environment if needed.
Educational welfare service:
individual guidance, individual training programs, close contact with teachers, parents/guardians, therapists and institutions outside school such as PPT (i.e. The Educational and Psychological Counselling Service)
career/educational counselling of pupils with an individual subject syllabus
guides teachers in their work with individual pupils or groups with special needs with particular emphasis on the class' learning environment
Career councelling:
offers career counselling and information about higher education for groups or individuals
facilitates the work between the secondary school and institutions of higher education and other institutions of various kind
The Educational and Psychological Counselling Service (PPT):The Educational and Psychological Counselling Service is instituted by law. They are a group of pedagogues and psychologists who offer help and guidance to pupils, parents and school staff. PPT makes professional diagnostic evaluations in order to offer further help and assistance.
The School Drop-Out Follow-Up Service:
The School Drop-out Follow-Up Service (Oppfølgingstjenesten) offers counselling to school drop-outs between 16 and 20. OT works together with the local unemployment office, the municipalities and the secondary education system to give help and guidance on apprenticeships, school programs, job training or employment.
Adults who have completed 9-10 years of compulsory primary and lower secondary education, but who have not completed upper secondary, have the right to upper secondary education after the age of 25 – free of charge.
At Ski we therefore offer evening classes in the following subjects/core curriculum: Mathematics, Natural Science, English, Norwegian, History and Social Science.
Examination: for further information concerning your rights and obligations, please contact the school.
The library is a place of study and a good source of information for all the pupils. The library offers a broad variety of encyclopaedias, factual literature, novels, comic books, films and audio books. The pupils are welcome to use the library and may be assisted in their search for useful and reliable information for their various projects and subjects. They may also relax with board games or a magazine.
Opening hours are: Monday-Friday 08:00-15:30.
Pupil's Activities
Geilo:
Every January our first-year pupils go on the school's annual three-day trip to Geilo, a skiing resort in the Norwegian mountains.
Ealing:
The second-year pupils of English go on a one-week study tour to Ealing, just outside London. They lodge with English families and go on a variety of excursions with their teachers. The trip to Ealing is very popular with our pupils and has become somewhat of a school tradition.
Music, Dance and Drama:
Every year our third-year pupils go to London to see plays and dance performances of various kind. They also go to the city of Voss in Norway to study folk music, in addition to staging various performances themselves.
Physical Education:
Our pupils in the Physical Education program go on several trips throughout the year (canoeing, skiing, digging snow huts etc.).

The Central Bank of Iceland has exclusive rights to issue currency in Iceland.

Security features have been used in banknotes for hundreds of years. The hand-written signature was one of the first security features and many others have since been added, such as specially processed paper, watermarks, security threads and intaglio printing. In recent years central banks have issued new notes with a wider, even more sophisticated range of security features. Others have upgraded their earlier notes with the same aim. The following table shows the security features of Icelandic banknotes that are in circulation today.

Stranger Things Happen: Stories (Paperback)
By Kelly Link
Paperback (November 17th, 2015): $16.79
"An alchemical mix of Borges, Raymond Chandler and Buffy the Vampire Slayer."--Salon.com (Best of the Year)
"A delightful collection."--Cleveland Plain Dealer
"My favorite fantasy writer."--Alan Cheuse, All Things Considered
Link's stories defy explanation, or at least, brief summary, instead working on the plane between dream and cognitive dissonance. They are true to themselves: witty, beautiful, funny, and startling.--Rain Taxi
Link uses the nonsensical to illuminate truth, blurring the distinctions between the mundane and the fantastic to tease out the underlying meanings of modern life.--Booklist
The 11 fantasies in this first collection from rising star Link are so quirky and exuberantly imagined that one is easily distracted from their surprisingly serious underpinnings of private pain and emotional estrangement.
Kelly Link's collection of stories, Stranger Things Happen, really scores.
--Daniel Mendelsohn, New York Magazine
A tremendously appealing book, and lovers of short fiction should fall over themselves getting out the door to find a copy.
--Washington Post Book World
Stylistic pyrotechnics light up a bizarre but emotionally truthful landscape. Link's a writer to watch.
--Kirkus Reviews
A set of stories that are by turns dazzling, funny, scary, and sexy, but only when they're not all of these at once. Kelly Link has strangeness, charm and spin to spare. Writers better than this don't happen.
--Karen Joy Fowler
Kelly Link is probably the best short story writer currently out there, in any genre or none. She puts one word after another and makes real magic with them-funny, moving, tender, brave and dangerous. She is unique, and should be declared a national treasure, and possibly surrounded at all times by a cordon of armed marines.
--Neil Gaiman
Kelly Link is the exact best and strangest and funniest short story writer on earth that you have never heard of at the exact moment you are reading these words and making them slightly inexact. Now pay for the book.
--Jonathan Lethem
The eleven stories in Kelly Link's debut collection are funny, spooky, and smart. They all have happy endings. They were all especially written for you. A Best of the Year pick from Salon.com, Locus, The Village Voice, and San Francisco Chronicle. Includes Nebula, World Fantasy, and Tiptree award-winning stories.
Kelly Link is the author of three collections of short fiction Stranger Things Happen, Magic for Beginners, and Pretty Monsters. Her short stories have won three Nebula, a Hugo, and a World Fantasy Award. She was born in Miami, Florida, and once won a free trip around the world by answering the question "Why do you want to go through the world?" ("Because you can't go through it.")
Link lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she and her husband, Gavin J. Grant, run Small Beer Press, co-edit the fantasy half of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, and play ping-pong. In 1996 they startd the occasional zine Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet.
Kelly Link is the author of two collections, Magic for Beginners (chosen as a 2005 Best Book by Time Magazine, Salon.com, and Book Sense) and Stranger Things Happen. She is the editor of the anthology Trampoline. She and her husband Gavin J. Grant started Small Beer Press in 2000.
