APPLICATION RATES
WOOD NECTAR is an OMRI, CDFA, WSDA registered organic liquid additive whereas WOOD POWER is a natural liquid additive for conventional crops (NOT AN ADJUVANT OR SURFACTANT) that when added to the crop spray solution, increases the penetration and absorption of fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, phyto-hormones and foliar fertilizers. As a result, the rates of agro-chemicals needed will be greatly reduced, while keeping the same efficacy of the original recommended rates. These benefits are realized as WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER reduces the water cluster value, in addition to its chelating potential and physical chemical properties. Additionally, the natural ingredients present in its formulation will synergistically increase crop resistance to insects and diseases. The substances present in the WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER composition are also present in all cultivated plants, but in limited quantities to boost productive potential and resistance to pests and diseases. So when an exogenous amount of WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER is applied, its components are quickly recognized, absorbed and incorporated into plant metabolism. As a result of the increased concentration of these substances within the plants, they react favorably by increasing the rate of metabolism and consequently their growth, flowering, yield and resistance to pests and diseases in general.
WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER is derived from planted eucalyptus forests that uses no synthetic chemicals in it's production. It is a natural product that contains 100% natural ingredients in its composition, which are obtained by the condensation of all volatile substances present in the liquid phase during its distillation process. This product is described as WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER since all substances from the eucalyptus wood liquid phase will be the constituents of its complex formulation. The distillation temperature and pressure are fully controlled and monitored during the complete extraction process, so that the original chemical structure and properties of all wood volatile natural ingredients are fully preserved. This controlled process ensures a product of premium quality with a true and measurable performance edge.
After condensation, the product remains stored for a period of six months to complete the chemical reactions among the various components present in the formulation. Because of its natural ingredients and complex composition, WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER will enhance the vigor, resistance, and disease management aspects of agricultural production, in addition to the reduction of agro-chemical dependance.
When WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER is added to the crop spray solution, it reduces the rates of agricultural chemicals in general up to 50% of the recommended application rates, in addition to maximizing production and quality of agricultural products. WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER is considered a TRUE GROWERS PARTNER by providing lower production cost, a CONSUMERS ALLY by allowing foods with lower residual chemical levels, and NATURES FRIEND by reducing the amount of pesticides in the environment.
WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER is available in 20 liter plastic containers in addition to 265 gal/1000 liter totes.
UNDERSTANDING THE ENTIRE CONCEPT BEHIND WOOD NECTAR / WOOD POWER EFFECTIVENESS
Modern research on the use of wood vinegar – WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER - was first carried out in Japan in the early 1950s. It was very effective against: rosette or green mosaic in wheat, nematode in sweet potato, tobacco mosaic, powdery mildew in leafy vegetables, leaf miner and other insect pests. However, due to the introduction of agro-chemicals and their instantaneous effects, research and use of wood vinegar took a back seat to synthetic pesticides. But, because of the growing concerns about the safety, and effectiveness, of agro-chemicals in the environment and food supply, an interest in wood vinegar resurfaced and WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER was developed as an organic alternative to be used in conjuction with a decrease in all synthetic, sustainable and organic agro-chemicals. This organic alternative is now commonly used by growers in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil and is gaining momentum in other áreas of South, Central and North America.
It is estimated that WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER contains more than 300 constituents such as acetic acid, methanol, phenol, ester, acetals, ketone, formic acid and many others. Instead of the specific effectiveness of a certain element, in the case of WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER, various elements work synergistically. Various factors are controlled by the dilution rate of the WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER. It has a bactericidal effect as well as the ability to propagate microbes. It has radicational qualities, which provides a growth inducing effect. But depending on the concentration of the mixture it can also be used to retard the growth of the plant.
The various elements in WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER work as co-enzymes or catalysts. Various enzymes are involved in reactions such as cell multiplication. The functions of the enzymes are assisted by the elements in the wood nectar which co-ordinate the reactions and the cell multiplication. Elements that are effective as co-enzymes and catalysts require only a minute amount. It is like vitamins in our bodies. The dosage of some of these elements is effective in the unit of PPM. (Parts per million).
WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER contains a small amount of nutrients directly taken in by the plants. It also contains very few elements that have the bactericidal and anthelmintic effect. It is neither a fertilizer nor an agro-chemical. Yet when it is correctly applied, it enhances the intake of fertilizers and reduces the damages by various diseases. WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER enhances rooting, helps in the regulating of the nutrient condition of the soil, and the balance of the microbiological population. The changes in the microbiological population not only greatly reduce the tendency of soil bound diseases, it also increases the vitality of the roots and hence enable better uptake of nutrients.
Wood vinegar – WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER had been long known to be very effective against nematodes. It kills nematodes directly as well as propagates microbes that feed on them. The high acidity, methanol and phenol content have strong bactericidal effect at a high concentration, such as 50 to 100 times dilution. However, microbes propagate well when it is diluted to 200 times dilution. This is mainly due to the effect on the metabolism by its main element, acetic acid. Acetyl co-enzyme is produced by plants and microbes from acetic acid. Through the TCA cycle, acetyl co-enzyme is converted into citridic acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, succiric acid and other elements that are necessary for the plant and microbes. This is the primary reason for the propagation of microbes.
Through foliar application, some bacteria are killed by direct contact and the changes of the microbiological population deter the propagation of pathogenic bacteria. The acidity on the leaves surface also deters propagation. However, the most remarkable effects of foliar application are the increase in resistance of the leaves against pests and diseases and the increase in the effectiveness of agro-chemicals.
Through foliar application of WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER, the leaves become shiny and darker in color. This is due to the increase in chlorophyll through the effect of ester in the wood vinegar which promotes photosynthesis. The ester also helps in the formation of sugar and amino acids, therefore resulting in better tasting produce, and the healthier leaves naturally have a stronger resistance against pests and diseases.
Five plant hormones are closely related to the growth and health of a plant. These are: gibberellin, cytokinin, auxin, ethylene and abscisic acid. Ethylene and abscisic acid contribute to the plant's resistance against diseases and attacks from bacteria. An amino acid called methionine effects the formation of ethylene. The formation of ethylene is reduced by the excessive intake of nitrogen. On the other hand, growth hormones like gibberellin, cytokinin and auxin will be produced. As a result, the size of the plant increases but the resistance against diseases is reduced. The formation of oxidized ethylene from ethylene and the formation of methionine is accelerated by the acid content of WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER.
Furthermore, WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER accelerates the process of transformation from nitrogen to amino acids. In other words, nitrogen is effectively transformed into amino acids. This will also stabilize the formation of methionine. As the result, oxidized ethylene is also produced. These processes contribute to higher plant resistance against various diseases.
At 300 times dilution, WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER can reduce the cluster value of water to 1/3. This means that the water is activated and can be easily absorbed by the plants because water with a low cluster value is in a very small mass. Each of these masses will hold one or few mineral elements. These elements can be easily taken into the plants.
The concentration of agro-chemicals or liquid fertilizers can be reduced up to 50% if it is diluted in a 300 times dilution solution of WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER due to its higher permeation. This will greatly reduce the use of agro-chemicals. However, it should not be used with alkaline chemicals.
UNDERSTANDING THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF WOOD POWER/WOOD NECTAR TO ENHANCE PLANT METABOLISM
UNDERSTANDING WATER CLUSTER VALUE AND WATER CLUSTER VALUE WHEN BLENDED WITH WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER
WATER MOLECULE
Water molecule is formed by two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms (H2O). The arrangement of the atoms in the molecule establishes a positive zone on one side and a negative one on the opposite side.
The water molecule with the regular cluster value holds around 10 individual molecules. However when its cluster value is reduced it holds around 6 water molecules. In that way, the water cluster value (WCV) becomes smaller in mass and size, and is more readly absorbed by the plant cells. Because the WCV is smaller, the molecules will accommodate themselves better inside the plant cell, so that more individual water molecules will be absorbed before the cell becomes saturated.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
Adjuvants are products added to a spray solution that can have a variety of functions such as spreading, wetting and/or modifying droplet formation and behaviour.
The most common adjuvant function is to modify the interaction of spray droplets and the leaf surface by altering the surface tension of the droplet. Droplets with a high surface tension will be more likely to bounce off leaf surfaces while those with a low surface tension will tend to spread on contact and be retained.
A spray solution with spherical shaped droplets on contact with a leaf surface are said to have a high surface tension. Droplets that readily deform and spread on contact have a lower surface tension. As a consequence the spray solution will be in contact with a larger leaf área which will favor a better contact of the chemicals in the spray solution with the leaf surfaces.
As it can be seen, WOOD NECTAR/WOOD POWER is not an adjuvant. Therefore, when adding Wood Nectar to the spray solution, an adjuvant should still be used, since Wood Nectar does not lower the water surface tension but decrease the cluster value of the water molecule which will result in better uptake of all ag-chemicals present in the spray solution.

Roma Yellow Cards – Recent Controversies
If you are a football fan, you must be wondering why Roma's players have been sent off in the past. It seems that refereeing issues have plagued the Italian side all season. However, one of the most recent reports on the matter has highlighted a different story. The referees raised some questions during the first half, and Gazetta Dello Sport addressed them. Let's look at the situations involving Cavani, Mancini, and Nuno Santos.
Gianluca Mancini
Nuno Santos
Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho has hit out at Italian referee Luca Pairetto after his side's 2-2 draw against Verona. The Red Devils boss was furious at the decision and gestured to the touchline after Pairetto sent Tammy Abraham off. Tammy Abraham will miss the weekend's game against Inter Milan after receiving his fifth yellow card this season. The referee is also under fire after deciding to book Nicolo Zaniolo, who dived to take the ball from Tammy Abraham. Mourinho also suggested that the player be transferred out of Serie A as he has no protection.
The incident occurred during stoppage time when Jose Mourinho clashed with the referee and pointed at his head. He also booted the ball into the Stadio Olimpico crowd to express his frustration. Mourinho also received a yellow card for a foul on Napoli's Luca Lorenzo Insigne. However, Jose Mourinho is no longer enraged and is left to rue his actions.
The Serie A referee Luca Pairetto has a record showing yellow cards during Roma games. He has also given red cards to the Italian team twice this season, in the 2-1 win over Parma. Luca Pairetto is an experienced referee and has made 21 appearances in the league this season. He has shown 88 yellow cards, eight red cards, and then penalty kicks, giving out a yellow card every 1.6 minutes.
Despite his record as a referee, the Italian club's defenders have faced criticism over the last few weeks. On February 19, 2022, Roma coach Jose Mourinho was sent off for a second time during a match with Verona. Verona fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Roma. If the VAR had not canceled the final goal, Verona might have won 3-2.
Gianluca Mancini is an Italian football defender. He plays for Serie A club Roma and the Italian national team. Gianluca Mancini has been cautioned 14 times this season. Here are his most recent yellow cards. The defender has scored 0 goals and provided 0 assists in 33 matches for Roma. Gianluca Mancini has accumulated 17 yellow cards and one red card during his career.
As a manager, it is crucial that the Roma manager reins in Mancini's escalating yellow card habit. The Italian has received over a dozen yellow cards this season, including one red card for a double yellow. His discipline problems have been the stick critics have used to smear his reputation. But the reality is that Mancini has always been prone to yellow cards. Indeed, his combative style last season was partly responsible for his high yellow cards. However, Mancini's escalating yellow card tally this season is a concern.
Impact Mancini had a quiet game in a recent match in which Roma won 1-0 despite missing a penalty kick. Nonetheless, he received his 11th yellow card of the season and will miss the rest of the match. This is a big blow for the club as it means that Marash Kumbulla is likely to start at center back, and Chris Smalling is expected to return from injury. In his last five games, Impact Mancini has tallied nine tackles, five interceptions, seven clearances, and two blocks.
After spending just two seasons as Roma's vice-captain, Gianluca Mancini has made an unimpressive start to his tenure at the club. Although he has played briefly in midfield for Roma, this is not a representative sample. It is easy to see why Mancini's problems haven't been solved. It could simply be his inability to read the game.
The latest controversy involving Cavani, the Argentine striker, comes from two yellow cards. Both of these incidents were caused by a rash tackle on the Uruguayan by Lens's Jean-Philippe Gbamin. The incident occurred in the 55th minute when Lens converted a penalty. Lens manager Laurent Blanc was less than happy with the decision but did not let it dampen his mood.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker celebrated his 100th career goal on Wednesday night and showed his support for the victims of the recent air crash involving the Brazilian club Chapecoense. While many players posed for photographs and showed their support for the injured, Cavani was cautioned by referee Frank Schneider for a similar gesture. The fans took to Twitter to vent their frustration, while the PSG side eventually won the game 2-0.
Cavani joined Napoli in July 2010 on a loan deal worth EUR5 million, with the option of buying him outright for EUR12 million. He had already played for the Uruguay national under-20 side in Paraguay, where he finished as the tournament's top scorer and helped the team finish third at the FIFA U-20 World Cup. However, this new contract pushed his salary to over EUR150 million a season.
Tottenham Hotspur assistant Nuno Santos has been fined PS8000 and banned from the touchline for one match for his rant against the referee. Santos had challenged Bankes after the controversial VAR-assisted penalty that had awarded Newcastle a one-all draw. Nuno Santos is one of four assistants to join Mourinho at Roma in July.
The incident started after the referee sent off Jose Mourinho against Verona. Mourinho was unhappy with the decisions against his team and fired a frustrating shot into the air. The referee, Luca Pairetto, responded by showing him a red card. Nuno Santos was able to hold back Mourinho from arguing with the referee.
The incident sparked a full investigation into the conduct of the two coaches. While UEFA does not rule out a five-match ban for violent behavior, it hasn't been revealed whether there are any witnesses to back up these allegations. Asmpyra, the Danish side, also reported Santos to the police. Asmpyra was defeated 4-0 at home by Roma and secured promotion to the Conference League semi-finals. The fourth official, Davide Santoni, was also yellow-carded for an argument with the fifth official.
Nuno Santos's playing statistics include his average player rating, number of matches played, goals and assists, cards, and other relevant data. As a goalkeeper, Nuno Santos has played in 29 games in the Portuguese Primera Liga so far. However, he has been a substitute in nine games while playing eight times in the league. His contract with Pacos de Ferreira will end in -.
The red card shown to Napoli's Spalletti comes just after the full-time whistle, and he applauds Massa's decision sarcastically. The red card comes just one day after Roma lost 6-1 to Bodo/Glimt in the Europa Conference League. Mourinho's squad was missing key players such as Borja Mayoral, Gonzalo Villar, Bryan Reynolds, Marash Kumbulla, and Amadou Diawara. Although the match finished goalless, the Italian side is now second in the league, ahead of AC Milan.
The match was tightly contested, with little scoring for either side, with Tammy Abraham missing an open goal during the first half. Jose Mourinho was given a second yellow card after an argument with the referee, and Roma coach Luciano Spalletti received the same punishment after applauding the officials. The two teams will now meet at the Champions League, which starts in September. And it's not just Roma who received yellow cards.
After the match against Hellas Verona, Mourinho was suspended for two games and had to watch the rest of Roma's match from 'jail.' even though his team finished the game with two yellow cards, the Portuguese manager seemed angry with his team's tactics and the two yellows. He subsequently tweeted a funny picture of himself eating a sandwich alone. And this was after the team had already beaten Cagliari 2-1 in the previous game.
However, the yellow card issue can potentially be dangerous for Jose Mourinho and Roma. Both sides are desperate to win, and Mourinho will likely risk sacrificing some key players. As for Roma, four players will be out due to yellow cards, with Bryan Cristante and Rick Karsdorp both in doubt. It's also possible that Mourinho might start only two or three of these players against Inter.

Pinpointing the exact origins of kung fu is fairly complicated. Although kung fu itself is a broad term that relates to a wider group of Chinese martial arts, many historical sources point to India as the birthplace of what would eventually become kung fu as we know it. Separating historical fact from legend is difficult, with many conflicting sources and quasi-fictitious stories complicating matters.
Kung Fu Beginnings & Bodhidharma
One individual often credited with the invention of kung fu is Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk originating from India. Although some scholars doubt the existence of Bodhidharma, there is some evidence to suggest he was a very real person. Depending on the source, Bodhidharma is said to have lived during the fifth or sixth centuries. Although not the first monk to bring Chan Buddhism to China, he is often considered the one responsible for firmly entrenching it in Chinese territories. He is also considered the forefather of kung fu as we know it today. Legends say he crossed paths with Shaolin monks shortly after arriving in China and eventually trained them in the art of kung fu. Some of his disciples are also named as important figures in the early days of kung fu.
Evolution of Kung Fu
Although the veracity of stories regarding Bodhidharma and his disciples is open for interpretation, the history of kung fu is far easier to document from the sixth century onward. During the Sui Dynasty, there is plenty of documented evidence to show that Shaolin monks were practising an advanced form of kung fu. The popularity of kung fu would spread far and wide during periods of military engagement in China. One of these boom periods was during the Ming Dynasty, which lasted up until the 1600s, with Shaolin monks developing a varied range of kung fu styles.
Modern Kung Fu Styles
Today, there are hundreds of individual styles of kung fu practised around the world. One of the most popular of these styles is Wing Chun, a form which places a keen emphasis on swift movements and self-defense techniques. As with the early days of kung fu, the origins of Wing Chun are unclear. Wing Chun relies on oral histories and verbal teaching, rather than written scripture, which makes identifying its source difficult. However, one enduring legend often attributed to Wing Chun is that of Ng Mui, one of the Five Elders who escaped persecution from the Qing Dynasty and the annihilation of the Shaolin Temple. Legend has it that Ng Mui took her inspiration from the natural world after seeing a snake and crane locked in combat. She is said to have weaved their movements into a new form of kung fu, passing on this newly created martial arts system to a female disciple so she could defend herself. This woman, Yim Wing Chun, would give the martial art its name.
Although Wing Chun takes its name from this legendary account, the real origins of the martial likely lie with the Red Boat Opera Company. In the early 19th century, this travelling company of opera singers rose up against the Qing Dynasty, deploying a newly developed form of kung fu to fend off enemy troops. Today, many styles of Wing Chun trace their origins back to this travelling company.
Watch this documentary about the origins of Kung Fu and learn more about Shaolin monks and their connection to today's martial arts styles.

Q: Journey Builder Multiple Entries I have a data extension with more than one entry for a subscriber. These entries are 'Subscriber Key + Enrollment ID' so every entry is unique because one person will enroll to more than one class.
I have set the Contact Entry in my journey to "Re-entry after exit". When the journey is being executed, only one entry enters the journey.
How can I implement this so that every entry in DE enters the journey and being 'Accepted'?

A: Question for you - did you make the combination of fields the Primary Key in the Data Extension?  Otherwise, you could try writing a query to concatenate the two values into one and write to a new DE.
Finally, assuming you did that - have you set up the appropriate population/attribute groups?  If the record is new to the platform (and assuming combining values would mean a new record), then you must add users to a population first.
Give it a go and let us know

Rolls-Royce has signed a contract to deliver propulsion and deck machinery for 13 new tugs, including five which will have a direct bollard pull of around 150 tons.
The contract, with Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) is worth more than 38 million Euro. The 13 tugs are being designed and built at Chouest-affiliated shipyards in the USA.
The five most powerful tugs will be 45 meters long and 17 meters wide, making them the world's largest of their kind to date.
Rolls-Royce scope of delivery includes both large azimuth thrusters and winch packages, enabling the tugs to efficiently perform their main duties; general harbor assistance, braking or steering the vessel, or performing deep sea towing.
Eight of the vessels ordered by ECO will be equipped with two US 255 Fixed Pitch thrusters, while five will have US 60 Controllable Pitch Propellers.
All 13 vessels will be equipped with towing winches plus auxiliary winches from Rolls-Royce, all based on low-pressure hydraulics. The five largest of the tugs are to be equipped with winches with dynamic towing capability in the full bollard pull range, this is instead of towing on static brake which is most common for these type of vessels. The dynamic towing capability of the low-pressure hydraulic reduces risk during a towing operation, and reduces wear and tear on tow gear.

1. Introduction to Report This report focuses on
Apr 22, 2019 adminManagement
1. Introduction to ReportThis report focuses on identifying potential members of Le Club Management Studio, a facility at Block 29A, which would be made available to Temasek Polytechnic students from the School of Business.
The objective of this report is to identify potential members and gather their ideas to improve Le Club.2. FindingsDemographic profile of respondentsThere were a total number of 212 Year 2 & 3 students, from the Diploma in Business (BUS), Leisure & Events Management (LEM) and Marketing (MKG) who had responded to the survey. Out of which 9% are from BUS, 32% from MKG and 59% from LEM. 30% of the students were male, while 70% were female. Lastly, 46% of the students who responded to the survey are Year 2 students, whereas 54% were Year 3 students. After conducting this survey, there are in total two segments which I have identified to be potential Le Club Studio Members.
The graph above compares the different courses (Marketing, Leisure & Events Management, Business) and the type of activities that students from this course engage in after school. LeClub Studio offers the indoor type of activities. For the activity "Indoor Home-Type". 41% percent of Marketing students participated in this, 37% for Leisure & Events Management students, and 32% Business students.
Using this, we can thus identify Marketing students as a potential segment of members at LeClub Studio, as they engage in activities which LeClub offers after school. The theory behind Customer Value Categories is that not all customers are the same. One of the categories of this theory which can be applied would be Most Valuable Customer (MVC).
They are the customers contributing to the highest volume of customers, and refer a large number of customers, costing less to serve. In this case, since there is a match of what LeClub offers and activities Marketing students engage in, it will save LeClub effort to promote their membership as they are already potential members. The graph above compares the Year of Study and the type of activities engaged in after school.
8% of Year 2 students engage in mall-type activities after school, while it is 10% for Year 3 students. While mall-type activities are not what LeClub studio offers, they are both indoor activities. Hence, I would identify Year 3 students as potential members of LeClub members. In the theory of Customer Value Categories, Year 3 students are considered to be Most Growable Customers (MGC). They are customers whom currently do not have actual value to the enterprise, but has growth potential.
Behavior/Attitude/Preferences BehaviorThe question "Who would you be the most likely to come to LeClub with ?", in the survey is one which could identify behaviour patterns of the segments identified. For the Marketing students segment, the most popular companion to LeClub would be classmates, at 43%. The next most popular companion would be project group mates at 32%. Also, the third most popular companion to LeClub Studio would be their significant others, at 11%. As for the Year 3 students segment, the most popular companion would similarly be the classmates at 52%, while the second most popular would be project group mates, at 32%. The third most popular option would be coming alone to LeClub, at 6%.
The question "What type of activity do you prefer to do at Le Club studio ?" is another which is able to help identify behaviour patterns of the segment. For the Marketing segment, the most preferred activity to do at LeClub would be playing card or board games, at 27%. The next preferred activity would be sitting on the lounge sofas and relaxing at 22%, and the third preferred would be playing American pool or watching DVDs or movies, at 18% for both activities.
As for the Year 3 segment, the most preferred activity is both playing card/board games, and sitting on the lounge sofas and relaxing at 27%. The next most preferred activity to do at LeClub studio would be watching DVDs or movies, at 24%.Attitudinal `There are many questions in the survey done, which could help identify the attitude of the identified segment. One question which can help identify attitude would be "My ideal club in TP would be a place to:". For the Marketing segment which I have identified, their ideal club would be a place where it allows them to chill, relax and unwind. This is at 39%.
The next idea of an ideal club for the Marketing segment of students would be a place where they could play games with friends, at 24%. The third idea of an ideal club would be gathering with friends to "chit-chat" at 21%. As for the Year 3 students segment, they would also prefer to have a club, where they can chill, relax and unwind at 40%.
Similarly, the next most popular idea of an ideal club would be having a place in Temasek Polytechnic where they can play games with their friends, at 26%. The third most popular idea of an ideal club would be a place for gathering with their friends to "chit-chat", at 19%. Another question in the survey which could potentially identify the attitude of segments, would be: "How often do you see yourself coming to LeClub?". For the Marketing segment which I have identified, most students indicated that they will come to LeClub studio "two to three times a month", at 30%. The next most popular frequency would be coming to LeClub "once a week" at 20%, while the third indication would be "not likely/ unable to say for now" at 18%.
As for the Year 3 segment, the most popular indication of the frequency of themselves coming to LeClub would be "once a week" at 56%. The next most popular would be coming to LeClub "two to three times a week" at 18%, while the third most popular would be coming to LeClub "two to three times a month" at 14%.PreferencesWhen LeClub knows the preferences of the identified segments, they are able to understand the needs and wants of this segment. One question that could tell the preferences of identified segments would be: "Which of the following positioning taglines would you prefer LeClub to have?". For the Marketing segment, the most popular tagline would be: "A place to chill in between lesson time" at 30%. The least popular tagline for the Marketing segment would be "A place I can still come after I graduate" at 6%.
As for the Year 3 students segment, the most popular tagline would be: "A place to chill in-between lesson time" at 74%. The least popular tagline similarly would be "A place I can still come after I graduate" at 4%.Appeal of LeClub Studio The question; "Things done well in LeClub Studio" can identify how do LeClub appeal to the identified segments. For the Marketing segment, many students agree that the facilities at are one of the things done well at 35%.The next thing done well, would be the ambience at LeClub, at 31%.
As for the Year 3 students segments, it is similar to the opinions of those in the Marketing segment. At 40%, the Year 3 students segments believe that the facilities are the many things well done in LeClub studio. While there are things that are done well, there are definitely things which could have been improved on. For the Marketing segment, things that could be improved upon would be overcrowding and that the location or distance is inconvenient, at 24% for both factors. As for the Year 3 segment, overcrowding is one of the reasons for students to not come to LeClub studio at 25%.
The next would be that their timetable does not allow them to come to LeClub at 21%.Priorities for Improvement of LeClub StudioThe improvement made to LeClub would lead to an increase in potential members from the identified segments. For the Marketing segment, it can be seen that students would like an improvement in terms of Food and Beverage options, and in the design/décor of LeClub, at 18% for both.
Next, for the Marketing segment, students would like to have an increased variety of games and increase in noise control at 12%. 30% of the Year 3 students would like for LeClub Studio to organise activities and workshops, an improvement which LeClub can make. Also, 23% of the Year 3 students believe that an improvement such as the design and décor could be made by LeClub.
With this suggestion on the improvement on various factors by the identified segment, I believe that the Servqual Model can help LeClub Studio to identify gaps on their service which will ensure for the minimal service to be provided. One service gap is which may happen to LeClub would be Gap 3, the service delivery gap. This means that at the customer purchase stage, the service personnel had failed to follow the specification or operating procedures set by the top management. This could occur because of poor training, or miscommunication, with the fault lying with the service staff. This can be seen where some of the students from the Marketing segments believe that LeClub studio could improve on noise control. For example from the graphs and explanations above, the top management could have set into place Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in case of any noise disruption, but it was not put into place by the service staff at LeClub studio. Perhaps, further training by the Teachers-In-Charge of LeClub for the students helping out would be beneficial as they can educate on more of the operating procedures made in place for different situations.
This could then help with the noise control situation at LeClub. 3. RecommendationThrough the survey done, I would recommend for LeClub to implement a limited time period product trial in conjunction with a recommend-a-friend programme. The Year 3 students are considered the Most Growable Customer (MGC) under the Customer Value Category. As stated above, 10% of the Year 3 students engage in mall-type activities. What LeClub Studio offers to their members are indoor home-type of activities, which on some level is similar to mall-type of activities. Implementing a limited time period product trial would then be an incentive for the Year 3 students segment to become members. As what LeClub offers is not entirely similar to the activities that Year 3 segment, this limited trial would encourage them to join for the membership.
Furthermore, this limited time period product trial would generate interest and buzz. LeClub would also be able to collect customer information, which will aid them in promotions in the future. In the graph above, 52% of the Year 3 segment has indicated that they will go to LeClub with their classmates.
If one brings along their classmates, there would be a reward given to that person. With the recommend-a-friend programme, LeClub is able to increase their membership base. Hence, I would recommend for LeClub to implement a limited product trial programme, in conjunction with the recommend-a-friend programme for the Year 3 students segment.
This programmes to increase membership for LeClub amongst Year 3 students should be held in the early stages of LeClub's opening and details on the membership programme to be sent to all students in their senior year through the student email.As for the Marketing segment, I would recommend for LeClub to implement the membership programme for super-users. 30% of the Marketing segment would come to LeClub "two or three times a month". Even if the Marketing segment is more likely to sign up for the membership with LeClub since they engage in indoor home-type activities similar to what LeClub offers, they do not utilise the membership to the fullest. With a membership programme targeted at super-users, this would engage and motivate them.
The benefits which follow would then encourage them to come to LeClub more often, henceforth building brand ambassadors. Furthermore, LeClub would be able to generate niche buzz and interest in their membership. Lastly, I would recommend for LeClub Studio to use a touch map to blueprint service process flows. This touchmap is done to ensure the necessary checks and considerations in case of service bottlenecks. With this touchmap, LeClub would then be able to prevent any possible issues and decrease the number of reasons that prevent the identified segment from coming to LeClub.4.
ConclusionIn this report, I have identified in total 2 segments which are potential members of LeClub- the Marketing segment and the Year 3 segment. Using questions in the survey to identify the behaviour/ attitude/ preferences of the segments, the appeal and possible improvements, I have in total three recommendations: Limited time-period product trial with the recommend-a-friend programme, a membership program for super-users and touch mapping for service flows.With the data and recommendations, LeClub is able to identify the potential members, and also improve LeClub.

Way cleared for Ramodibedi's impeachment
By Lesotho Times Last updated Nov 28, 2013
By Nat Molomo
MASERU — A Constitutional Court ruling has cleared the way for the impeachment of Appeal Court President Justice Michael Ramodibedi.
The ruling was delivered this week by three South African judges hired temporarily to hear the case as a constitutional matter. The judges; Ompheletse Moshidi, John Musi and Suled Potterrill, unanimously dismissed Justice Ramodibedi's application to keep his job with costs.
The judge wanted Prime Minister Thomas Thabane's bid to have him removed from office declared null and void. He also bid to have Thabane restrained from advising the King to suspend him from office.
The ruling marks a watershed in a long-running tussle pitting Justice Ramodibedi against former Chief Justice Mahapela Lehohla.
The two top judges had for years been disagreeing over seniority.
After Justice Lehohla's retirement in August, the fallout continued but this time it took a new direction after sucking in Thabane. The Prime Minister is said to have asked Justice Ramodibedi to quit for his role in besmirching the reputation of the judiciary.
The Appeal Court President steadfastly stuck to his guns and refused to comply with Thabane's directive.
Thabane in turn intensified his bid to have Justice Ramodibedi removed.
King Letsie III was subsequently advised by Thabane to appoint the three judges from South Africa to sit in a tribunal to consider the reasons for the judge's removal from office.
Minister of Correctional Services and Law, Mophato Monyake, who attended the court proceedings, yesterday expressed satisfaction with the ruling.
He told the Lesotho Times immediately after the court delivered its verdict "We are happy with the ruling.
"This paves the way for us to continue with the impeachment process."
Monyake said Justice Ramodibedi had been given an opportunity to be heard.
Justice Ramodibedi had sought an interdict to stop the process enquiring into his alleged misconduct, warranting his impeachment, after arguing that processes leading to the setting up of the tribunal and the whole impeachment bid were unlawful.
The three judges disagreed paving the way for the probe into Justice Ramodibedi's conduct to proceed.
Leading crown counsel, Advocate Sipho Mdhluli, assisted by attorney Khotso Nthontho and Advocate Lerato Makholela, told the paper that the state is prepared to continue with the impeachment proceedings as soon as possible.
Mdhluli said he was not sure if Justice Ramodibedi's lawyers would appeal the ruling. "They are entitled to appeal against the ruling of the Constitutional Court, if they so wish," he said.
Some of the allegations against Justice Ramodibedi, who is also the Chief Justice in Swaziland, include that he failed to protect the integrity and independence of the judiciary because of his failure to resolve disputes between him and former Chief Justice Lehohla.
Another accusation against Justice Ramodibedi is that he cancelled the January 2013 Court of Appeal session after the then Chief Justice Lehohla declined to release judges to sit with him in the Court of Appeal.
The government argues that had Justice Ramodibedi resolved his disputes with Justice Lehohla, the cancellation of the session of the court could not have happened.
Justice Ramodibedi and Justice Lehohla's tussle for seniority at the King's birthday celebrations in Mohale's Hoek last year was also cited in the court papers among the misconduct allegations against the Appeal Court president.

1939-1992 Brett Whiteley was born in 1939 and studied at the Julian Ashton School in 1957-59. In 1960 an Italian scholarship took him to London where his great natural talent for drawing, his lack of inhibitions and taste for exotic influences made the 21 year old painter an exciting prospect for London dealers. His work was shown at the Whitechapel and Marlborough Galleries from 1961 and in that year he was selected to represent his country at the 'young Painters' Convention UNESCO, Paris. Even more crucial to Whiteley's future was his success in winning the International prize at the second 'Biennale de Paris' (International Biennale for Young Artists), which brought with it the excitement, glamour and disadvantages of world publicity. In 1961 he returned to Australia where he held several exhibitions, also traveling to the USA several Asian countries. What he learned from his contacts with such countries as Cambodia, Vietnam and Japan is expressed in his drawings and paintings, and even more in sculptures such as 'Asia', a construction in fur, steel and acrylic in which a white Wallaby was depicted with its head stuck in a sewerage pipe. During 1979 he won a number of national prizes and settled at lavender Bay, Sydney. Whiteley symbolised his irrational obsession with the colours blue and gold in much of his work. The whole pattern of Whiteley's life was written into his drawings and paintings with scintillating brilliance. Brett Whiteley died in 1992.

Book Review on "From Cowrie to Crypto – Blockchain and the Future of Money"
Book Review on "Unfreeze: How to Create a High Growth Economy after the Pandemic"
Surinder Kaur and Parminder Kaur
Beauty Contest and Learning in Rational Expectation based Stationary State
Avinash Kumar Jha
The paper explores the condition of instability of stationary state outcome as predicted by learning literature in defence of Rational Expectation Hypothesis-REH. By using Beauty Contest Parable in Grandmont's temporary equilibrium framework, it is argued that under very weak and reasonable conditions agents extrapolate away from the stationary state. This result is achieved even while ignoring large deviations of the past - a method conclusively criticised by Grandmont.
A Quantitative as well as Qualitative Study of CSR in the Selected Companies of IT Sector based in India
Astha Dewan and Srijana Singh
CSR has been an emergent area of research in the recent past. Most of the scholars, academicians and practitioners have made massive contributions in this field. The reason why IT sector is chosen is because it is uniquely positioned in terms of skills, expertise and facilities that can help benefit society in the long run. The companies that have been chosen are Infosys and Wipro as these are the top two companies that have satisfied the legal requirements in the context of CSR and have stayed profitable throughout. The main purpose of this study is to understand the history, concept and background of CSR in India, analyse the CSR expenditure for the post-mandate period of Infosys and Wipro and analyse the relationship between CSR and firm performance (net profit, operating margin, ROA, ROE and market capitalisation) separately for Infosys and Wipro. Lastly, the motive is to analyse the major CSR domains of the selected two companies and comment on the similarities and differences altogether. The sources of data used in this study are secondary and empirical in nature including annual reports of the selected two companies namely; Infosys and Wipro majorly for the post-mandate period (2014-19). The CSR expenditure and the profitability ratios including return on assets and return on equity has been considered based on the review of literature of CSR and firm performance. A CSR index has been created consisting of ten parameters explained in detail in the findings and analysis section. SPSS (statistical package for social sciences) 23 has been used to analyse the correlation and linear regression between the independent variable (CSR index scores) and profitability measures (net profit, operating margin, ROA, ROE and market capitalisation) separately. The findings suggest that in terms of CSR expenditure Infosys contributed more than 2% towards CSR during the financial years 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 and Wipro has even gone beyond 2% in the financial years 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19. In terms of CSR and firm performance, it can be observed that there is a negative or weak correlation and no linear relationship between the scores of CSR index and the profitability measures with respect to Infosys and Wipro as well. In terms of CSR domains, as compared to Infosys, the CSR domains that can be added to the Wipro's CSR activities can be rehabilitation of homeless and orphans and disaster management relief. The domains that can be added in the context of both the companies can be gender equality programs, women safety and dignity, enhancement of vocational skills for women and care and support for the elderly. Women can be focused more upon in terms of safety provision now-a-days.
Towards Developing a Theoretical Framework for Measuring the Work Life Balance of Teachers in Higher Education
Kinneri Jain, Ishwar Mittal and Anand Bansal
Work Life Balance (WLB) is a concept that is important in all spheres of life whether it is political, economic or social as it has been associated with individuals, families and institutions. Work life balance is not only about families and childcare nor it is about working less, it's about working smart, giving whatever, you need for both work and home without jeopardizing one for the other and it's necessary for everyone whatever stage one is in life. Hence, there is a need to take into consideration various aspects of family and job and to ascertain to what extent the factors related to work and family help in the attainment of a good life. The building blocks of any society or country are teachers and the teaching profession. The present research paper aims to construct a theoretical framework with regard to WLB of people in the teaching area. The paper aims to identify the variables affecting the WLB of an individual and the variables which define the impact of WLB on individuals in teaching with regard to their life, family and organization with the support of existing literature. Identification of such variables and developing hypotheses thereupon would provide a better insight to understand the problems and expectations of teachers. The working environment and job requirements have become so complex now-a-days in colleges of higher education that the pressure on the teachers juggling with career growth to meet academic standards, has made it difficult for them to achieve work life balance. Measuring the factors affecting the work life balance of teachers in higher education with the help of theoretical framework has certain policy implications for those, who are constantly involved in developing strategies to combat the adverse work life balance situations.
Financial Parameters and Dividend Decisions of Indian Companies: An Empirical Investigation
Bunny Singh Bhatia
Purpose: Dividend has significant relevance from the perspective of managers, shareholders and potential investors. In this regard the present paper seeks to demystify various financial factors affecting the dividend decision of Indian companies and presents crucial implications. Methodology: The paper has applied OLS panel regression using two models to establish consistency and reliability. In this study, we have examined top 100 companies based on market capitalization during the year 2007 to 2018. Findings: The paper documented evidence pertaining to three most imperative financial variables which positively and significantly affect dividend policy of Indian companies is dividend history, current earnings and investment opportunities. It will have significant implications for managers, shareholders and academician. Implications: Dividend decisions are the one of the critical decisions of the financial management and have serious implications for managers, shareholder and academicians. The paper will provide implications for the predication of firm's behaviour during financial crisis caused by COVID 19 and give useful insights to investors in their decision making during that period. From the perspective of investors looking for investment in stock with dividend yield, should invest in those companies having higher profitability, pattern of past dividend and opportunities of investment.
Dynamics of External Commercial Borrowings in India
Swami Prasad Saxena
This paper is an attempt to empirically examine the trends and Intricacies of ECB in India. It also tries to analyze the possible effects of new ECB policy announced on 16 January 2019. The study observes that ECB flows in last about three decades have been highly volatile, and the share of ECBs in the total external borrowing in India is rising fast. Though, government is progressively relaxing the ECB norms to boost the economy, there is need of careful management of ECBs by corporates as well as the government. While applying for ECB the corporates need to be cautious about the exchange rate risk and impact on balance sheet debt to use ECBs effectively; the government too should not be unmindful of the dangers of increasing reliance on such borrowings with external risks.
Do SME IPOS Beat the Market on Listing Day?
Lovleen Gupta and Ashween Anand
This paper aims to examine the listing day returns provided by BSE SME IPOs over and above the market indices namely, S & P CNX Nifty, S & P BSE Sensex and BSE SME IPO Index. Further it identifies the different factors that explain the market-adjusted abnormal returns on listing. The results show that on average SME IPOs not only provide positive returns on the listing day but also outperform the Nifty, Sensex and BSE SME IPO Index. The linear regression analysis provides evidence supporting the information asymmetry, ex-ante uncertainty and signalling hypothesis. Favourable underwriter reputation signals good firm quality creating greater investor interest on listing day and higher abnormal returns. A second possibility could be that under-pricing is done to ensure that the SME issue is a success. This study has practical implications for market regulators to minimise the IPO listing delay in order to make the SME platform more attractive for investors and issuers.
Gold vs. India VIX : A Comparative Assessment of their Capacity to Act as a Hedge and/or Safe Haven Against Stocks, Crude and Rupee-Dollar Rate
Rakesh Shahani and Aastha Bansal
The present study is an attempt to compare two assets viz. Gold and INDIA VIX against three assets Nifty Index, Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate, Crude so as to identify which of the two assets could be considered as the right prescription for an Indian investor as a hedge and which asset could prove as a safe haven or a rescue asset during adverse market conditions. The study considers daily closing prices of five variables for the period April 1, 2008 - March 31, 2019. The study employs both traditional tools like OLS Regression (with Dummy Variable) and also newer techniques like quantile regression to achieve the stated objective. Further both linear and non linear models have been constructed and study also includes a separate section for the period of Sub Prime Crisis to judge the behaviour of our variables during these times. The results of the study using OLS Model clearly showed that INDIA VIX does appear to perform its role as a safe haven asset in weak to moderate form against Nifty return while gold fails completely in this role. On the other hand , results from quantile regression do give a clue that gold might work as a safe haven against different assets, this however comes with a very low probability and the same is true for INDIA VIX. The quantile regression however throws some evidence that gold might also act as a hedge against Nifty Return while INDIA VIX could be suitable hedge against crude. Further the results of variability in returns during the sub prime crisis was noticed in case of gold as the dummy for sub prime was found to be statistically significant.
Agricultural Growth and Stagnation in Bihar: History and Prospects
Rakesh Ranjan
The state of Bihar in India draws academic attention mostly for its backwardness. Given that there is very poor industrial base in the state, the majority of its inhabitants still are dependent of agricultural activities for their livelihood. In the near foreseeable future, in absence of any significant change in its economic structure, the growth dynamics of agricultural sector will keep influencing the overall growth of the state. Given this importance, the present paper attempts to understand the nature and character of agricultural growth in the state in the last six decades. This is done to identify some crucial patterns that may guide any possible intervention to ameliorate the agrarian stagnation. Change in cropping pattern, expanding reliable irrigation, and focus on rice yields appear to be holding key to future progress.

Google to Give Developers Access to Trends API
Daniel Fleshbourne Administrator Neowin @dfleshbourne · Dec 5, 2007 06:53 EST with -1 comments
Google will eventually provide an open application programming interface for its Trends analysis tool, allowing users to embed the tool in their applications, or download data from the application for personal use, a company official said. Marissa Mayer, vice president of search products and user experience at Google, would not provide timelines for when the search vendor might open up the API for Trends, which tallies Google Web searches for the terms users enter relative to the total number of searches done on Google.
However, she noted the company's fondness for APIs, as well as Trends users' requests to be able to put data culled from Trends in a spreadsheet and have the ability to manipulate it. For example, users might be able to create a spreadsheet comparing Trends data from present and previous years. "While I can't [give] particular dates for such a launch, I do believe that we will be making an API available so you can take the Trends product and embed it and use the data," Mayer said during a Web cast tutorial on the application Dec. 4.

interesting – how many Pope/Catholic jokes, cartoons, scribbles, whatever have there been? no rioting or madness. But just say the Prophet's name and they go wild, burning and killing – then they dare call it the "religion of tolerance." yeah, right.
September 13, 2012 at 11:15 am |
There is no such person as Sam Bacille. Why are you rehashing a days-old inaccurate report when the current information reveals that we know nothing about who made this or what his nationality is? You're CNN, for goodness sakes. Get on the ball.
jerseydevils76
They're called Extremists. Too much of anything is a bad thing. Same happened with the Crussades yet it seems like Christians, now, are always the ones in the wrong.
domeunit
Being sensitive about your "prophet" being depicted doesn't give someone the right to kill/attack others. That is in fact the opposite of what these so called religious people should be doing.
I realized this at the age ot ten and started to see things as they really are and no gods are going to do anything about all thats going on and has been for eons and eons.
Mohammed is not real...Islam should wake up and realize they are but an insignificant part of this race we call human...they will die as we all do with no purpose.
I think Mohammed was a real person, wasn't he?
Oh, and I don't think ~2 billion members is "insignificant" either.
All claims of divine communication aside, it's most likely that a man named Mohammed did exist. Much like Jesus or Budha (Siddhārtha Gautama), there was almost certainly a historical figure by that name, whose religious claims are up for debate
TinKnight
Oh really? 1 billion people are insignificant??
Whether or not you agree with their belief structure is irrelevant...that many people are ALWAYS significant, especially considering they are in some of the most resource-rich areas of the world.
It does nt matter you are 2 billion. One day Islam will die, becasue your religion is based on Pedo profit who lied and was a war mongerer. Why do you think there is violence eachtime someone speaks about the truth of islam.
Nobody thought communism would collapse. It just did one day.
Sounds like you need prozac with that view of the world, especilly that part about life having no purpose.
@raju,
Don't get upset there. I'm not Muslim or any religion, I just don't like distortion of the facts.
I've found a few articles about it, but I would think that more Muslims would come out against the killings and violence in general, rather than, just explaining their sensitivities around their prophet.
I am a muslim, and I can assure you that muslims do condemn the killing of the embassador, and also condemn all the damages being done to the U.S embassies around the world, please forgive my ignorant brothers in Islam, who are falling on the same trap that some chritians fell into after 9-11-01, both of them are alike, and we reaaally need to help put a stop to this kind of ignorance, and the best way to do that is simply through educating muslims more about our religion of islam, because what they are doing now is totally against its mimimum basics and also re educate christians about christianity, and most importantly have more interfaith dialogs, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, have so much in comon, they should never fight each other or even talk bad about each other. i challenge any one that doesn't agree to first read the books of these three religions before respnding.
AvdBerg
The Ambassador's killing in Libya was a culmination of the rising tensions and deep-rooted hatred amongst civilizations in a divided world (Matthew 12:25,26). For a better understanding of the history of Islam and the Middle East we invite you to read the articles 'World History and Developments in the Middle East', 'Clash of Civilizations' and 'CNN Belief Blog – Sign of the Times', listed on our website http://www.aworlddeceived.ca
All of the other pages and articles listed on our website explain how and by whom this whole world has been deceived as confirmed in Revelation 12:9.
Mohamed is easy to Blaspheme because of the historical content of his character. Even the Koran paints him as a "man" of questionable character
If thats the case, the mormons could start worshiping their prophet(s) looking on them as some sort of god. This is why all religions suck. Gods are crreated in their minds, and are none of them reall.

I don't care what the reason is; it's wrong. You do not light buildings on fire and KILL PEOPLE over a movie. Imagine Buddhists killing people because someone else did not engage in one of the four noble truths. These people are insane. Fundamentalist Christians are insane too but Jesus! Kill someone?????? Even they wouldn't do that with a few exceptions.
Interesting.. I wouldn't have thought this would be their decision. Of course, it was in 1942...

Atheism is Great for Kids and Grown-Ups Too!
It's really best for all people including children to have an agnostic approach to god, and an atheistic approach to all religion. It keeps things simple for kids, and let's them be all that they can be. They just need to be taught that some things, like all religion, were just made up by salesmen and politicians from long ago**; and that other things, like god, we really don't know a damn thing about.
Atheists have strong minds and don't need a religion. Sometimes, religious folk run and hide their misdeeds within their religion (and by doing so, they disserve society). Sometimes, religious folk are easily offended when someone mocks their make-believe characters – and, as we can see they can get really CRAZY!
So instead of praying to make-believe people, get a good cup of tea and go on and sit down and collect your damn thoughts. My goodness.

This might be the best post I have read about any of this insanity. Worship a box of raisins if you want, but don't kill someone because they said the raisins taste bad.
There is no one solution for all people. Reaching spiritual peace with yourself is not a set in stone formula. I am a Christian therefore I would recommend any person that is struggling with their spiritual well being to Christianity. If atheism is what brings you true spiritual acceptance, good for you. But I know many people that are "atheists" that choose atheism because it is the easiest "religion". The easiest religion is the absence of religion. The arguments are the easiest to "win", there's no ethical obligations to your religion, and they can always fall back on the 1% of religious representatives that perform evil deeds. But it takes true work to maintain a religion, be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc.
Teeph
The level of outrage shown from any perceived "insult" shows that they do, in fact, revere their prophet as a god. In fact, they may revere him more than god. They seem to get more upset about silly things like this than they do over insults to god.
Beyond that, if the concern over depictions of the prophet are rooted in the fear of idol worship . . . how is this unflattering depiction in ANY danger of causing that to happen? Are these people concerned that they will come to worship a child abusing, womanizing, violent egomaniac? That's what they deem worthy of worship? If that's their concern, maybe that should tell them something about themselves.
schaz
There are many reports out now, that say "Sam Bacile" is not Israeli, and that "Sam Bacile" is not his real name.
CNN please correct this article.
Laurie in Spokane
Mohammed may be holy to Muslims, but he's not holy to the rest of us. These reactionary Muslims must be very unsure in their beliefs or they would not take such umbrage at ridiculing or parodying Mohammed. If they were confident in their beliefs, and comfortable with all its teachings, they would not have to defend it so viciously.
SDCinNS
They decry images of Mohammed, but are fine with cutting the throats of innocent people? How sick is that!!???
Doc Vestibule
Kind of like "pro-life" activists killing doctors....
Not really... because.. a Muslim is not saving the life of anyone when he kills people over a picture or a cheap home movie. I don't think either is justified.. but.. I don't see them as being the same.
Kinda like doctors killing babies!
palusko996769
I guess they never heard the saying "Image is worth thousand words". Well, the images we see now from Egypt, Libya, Morocco are worth million words...
TDHawkes
If the Prophet is just a man, then why can't he be criticized? It seems that many Muslims' worship of the Prophet is idolatrous in nature.
MikeInNebraska
Islam isn't a religion but a cult. A very sick one at that.
Amniculi
All religion is a cult.
Get a lot of exposure to Muslims in Nebraska, do you?
@MikeInNebraska
How do you dinstinguish between a religion and a cult?
Drink my Kool-aid
Christianity is technically a cult of Judaism.
farzana
the followers of prophet jesus were ridiculed by the followers of prophet moses and now the followers of islam are being treated the same way , there is no cure for ignorance
Its a blessing to not have exposure to Islam.
I am from india, these rats conqured India and never left. Now we are infested with them.
Your forefathers fought and kept them away. But the new generation is allowing these rats to come in to your country.
Sit back and enjoy the ride baby.
Probably the difference has something to do with celebrating human sacrifice and cannibalism.
Oh, wait – that's Christianity!
@ raju – people who worship everything and anything between drinking cow's urine and rodent's poop should not criticize other religions i am from india too and please dont call the british rats

This whole incident is a reality of what we call the "Third World". It's no wonder they are so backward compared to the Western countries.

Now even Left-wing authors are decrying the dangerous online fascism of Amazon, Google and tech giants
December 12, 2018 December 12, 2018 by IWB
by: Ethan Huff
(Natural News) One of the unlikeliest of suspects has perpetrated the crime of telling the truth about the tech cabal's authoritarian policies of censorship against free speech: a far-Left writer from the all-things-Left magazine The Atlantic.
In his new book, World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech," author Franklin Foer addresses some of the key players spearheading the silencing of independent thought online – mainly Amazon, Google, and Facebook.
In Foer's view, after investigating the situation at-length, the major tech giants are currently running a monopolistic police state online that not only influences the type of information that's available to the public, but also how much this information costs to access.
The existing antitrust law, he says, needs to be updated to address this existential threat to free speech and the free flow of information. Ever since it was created back in the 1960s, this law has been "bastardized," he warns, in an effort to maintain total control over the narrative.
"That was my frustration when I went and talked to the Justice Department about Amazon," Foer says about his own efforts to break up the monopoly and restore some semblance of freedom back to the internet and society at large.
"Well, they're actually hurting consumers over the long run by hurting producers. And they're behaving in a bullying sort of way. Maybe not to consumers, but to producers. Why in God's name can't you see the harm? And they just couldn't see it because it was so outside of the current paradigm under which they're operating.
Tech giants abusing personal data to map human psyches for massive profits, suggests Foer
Unlike Amazon, Facebook and Google's core products are "free," meaning they're offered to users in exchange for behind-the-scenes access to personal data that's bought and sold for profit. But even this is a threat, especially when these two corporations are blatantly violating the law and getting away with it.
"Facebook and Google are constantly organizing things in ways in which we're not really cognizant, and we're not even taught to be cognizant, and most people aren't, and done in a way in which they're leveraging our data," warns Foer.
"Our data is this cartography of the inside of our psyche. They know our weaknesses, and they know the things that give us pleasure and the things that cause us anxiety and anger. They use that information in order to keep us addicted. That makes the companies the enemies of independent thought."
Tech censorship has now gone mainstream – and it's affecting EVERYONE
These are powerful words that need to be said, especially by someone within the "belly of the beast," so to speak, of the mainstream media. By making these facts known via platforms that aren't necessarily "independent," Foer is opening up a whole new audience to the dark reality that control over commerce and information itself have both been monopolized by a handful of tech companies operating out of Silicon Valley.
Soon it won't just be Alex Jones and Infowars that get the axe from these platforms: it'll be everyone who defies the narrative. And that seems to be one of the main points behind Foer's push for something to be done at the regulatory level to stop these tech giants from basically lording their power over the entire world.
The core of the problem is manipulation, says Foer, and "this idea that they're going to be able to manipulate us to engage us for as long as possible, and that other people are going to come in from the outside and take advantage of that, because that's the system that they created."

Archery season came and went quickly here in Pennsylvania. It is about a month and a half long, but it goes by quickly. I got my doe as I usually do, but was disappointed that I didn't get my buck. Rifle season starts in about a week, so I'm excited about that, but more excited that two of my kids will be hunting this year. I will be focusing mainly on them and helping them get their first deer.
Both of them have their doe and buck tags, so it should be an exciting couple of weeks. I will have my rifle, but they will get the first shot at anything. I will be beyond happy to see them get their first deer!


Viktor Chernomyrdin is a Russian politician and former Prime Minister of Russia, serving from 1992 to 1998.
I believe there must be compromises, and it will be impossible to discuss talks without them. We have to reach an agreement to first stop bombings to enable us to conduct talks.
We are opposed to support for any ideas pursuing a revolutionary, forcible change in the current system.
We are for honesty, openness, glasnost and democracy.
Both Russia and the U.S. understand now what's really going on at the Balkans and what needs to be done. We were searching for ways of settling the conflict, but it's a difficult task.
We are for continuity in the policy of democratic transformations in Russia.
To stop everything, for Milosevic, for all of us, it is very important to add that once more they should stop everything. Do a pause, everything, although most important is that the bombing stops. Stop killing people.
