BOOK CHARLIE HUNNAM
Charlie Hunnam Biography
is an English actor and screenwriter. He is known for his roles as Jackson "Jax" Teller on the FX series Sons of Anarchy (2008–14), for which he was twice nominated for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actor; Lloyd Haythe on the Fox series Undeclared (2001–02); and Nathan Maloney in the Channel 4 drama Queer as Folk (1999–2000). His film work includes the title role in Nicholas Nickleby (2002); Pete Dunham in Green Street (2005); Raleigh Becket in Pacific Rim (2013); Percy Fawcett in The Lost City of Z (2016); the title role in Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017); and Raymond Smith in The Gentlemen (2019).
Immediately prior to getting cast on Sons of Anarchy, Hunnam sold his screenplay Vlad to Summit Entertainment with Brad Pitt's Plan B Studios co-producing. The film is being directed by music video director and photographer Anthony Mandler, and will focus on the real-life story of Vlad the Impaler. Hunnam learned the story from locals in Romania while shooting Cold Mountain. He stated that he had not acted in 18 months and was so broke that if he had not managed to sell the script he would have had to sell his house and move back to England to live with his mother. Hunnam is also developing a screenplay based on a 2011 Rolling Stone article that he optioned about Edgar Valdez Villareal, an American drug lord who ran one of the biggest cartels in Mexico. Another project he has in development is a film about gypsy culture in Britain, which he hopes to direct. He stated that it is "a part of English society that's really seldom been explored, but is one of the most colourful and interesting parts of British society."

Following up Subotnick's debut album, "Silver Apples of the Moon" was a record that was in many ways its twin partner: Titled "The Wild Bull", it was commissioned by Nonesuch Records, executed on the newly-created Buchla synthesizer, sequenced into two parts ("Side One" and "Side Two") totaling a length just under a half an hour and loosely inspired by poetry from the pre-technological past of humanity. But the similarities quickly end there, because whereas his previous album was based on the verse of Yeats and underlined by glittering displays of avant-garde freakouts and peaceful planetary soliloquies, on "The Wild Bull" Subotnick was touched with an inspiration far removed in both time and space and one infinitely darker than the space between the planets: namely, with a Sumerian poem cuneiformed into wet tablets sometime around 1700BC, from which "The Wild Bull" takes its title.
A simple lament for the dead, "The Wild Bull" is a mournful indictment of mankind's third oldest profession: soldier. And although Subotnick states in the liner notes that "there was never an attempt to 'portray' the poem" what was finally conceived was probably from a far deeper subconscious level. And since Subotnick was influenced by Marshall McLuhan (who stated in his 1967 book "The Medium Is The Massage" that "electric circuitry...[is]...an extension of the central nervous system") it's highly likely that to anyone with a heart and a pair of ears that "The Wild Bull" is nothing less than a harrowing statement on the experience of war and its inevitable aftermath. It is deeply evocative as it burrows and runs through the full gamut and gauntlet of sensations of human war, followed by those experienced within the folds of its eternal camp follower, death.
For the first eight and one half minutes of side one, filtered tones aggressively and abruptly stab outward in paces of steady escalation from a murky percolation of discontent. Vexatious sounds that only trigger aggression can be heard as munitions are amassed, swords are unsheathed and missiles are readied. High-pitched flutterings waver above darkened skies of impending woe, interrupted only by tape splicing approximating technological overload with all the disorientation of quickly spinning the dial across a broad length of radio waves until it jerks back to lock into a disjointed, harried cluster of sequenced tones that jerk cruelly and uneasily in reactive counterpoint. It is a dance that turns quickly queasy and nightmarish: continuing for far too long with a crazy quilt of tones that zap and/or strike out in percussives until a second collage of quickly edited tones like the radio dial's been spun around with no purpose but just to crazily surf up and down the wavelength until a dead, horizontal calm of nothingness ensues.
"Side Two" opens with a gradual, low pitched and gently modulated theme that unsteadily rebuilds from the havoc of the previous side's psychological carnage. Soon joined by skittering and arrhythmic jolts of electronic pulses as though a different battle has ensued -- one of electronic birds of prey, fighting over, squawking or tearing away and what is soon revealed by the sonic tableaux to be an ever-expanding horizon line littered with carrion as early synthesized tones resembling tablas curl into a premature fade out.
...Then patiently sweep the chess board clear to start anew, or again.

Music-Dance: Sound and Motion in Contemporary Discourse and Practice
Conference organized by Gianmario Borio, Patrizia Veroli and Gianfranco Vinay
Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venezia, Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore
Oskar Schlemmer, Tänzerin (Die Geste), 1922-23. Pinakothek der Moderne, München © 2015. Foto Scala, Firenze/bpk, Bildagentur füer Kunst, Kultur und Geschichte, Berlin (detail)
The conference aims to investigate principles, methodologies and performance practices that have recently involved music and dance, opening new areas of research for choreologists and musicologists. At the center of our exploration lie the identity of the choreomusical work, the complexities of its authorship and the concept of incorporation.
Dance performance has been the object of new considerations aimed at analyzing its organic plurality, with the musical aspect becoming a main priority. Following pioneering research by musicologists interested in ballet (Wiley 1985, Smith 2000), some scholars have brought to the field both musical and choreographic expertise, theorizing and pursuing the permeability between the two disciplines. They tend to analyze not so much the intertwining of sound and motion but rather the ways in which the co-presence of these two expressive forms creates a new dimension. A renewed attention in the dynamics of listening and vision as well as a full recognition of kinesthetic empathy have been able to make use of the advances in cognitivism and neuroscience to invest the choreomusical phenomenon in its integrity and coherence. In the last decade, a series of conferences have played their part in creating a theoretical base for 'choreomusicology', also extending its range of influence with many new case studies.
These new issues will be considerate in our conference from an interdisciplinary perspective, with the objective of reaching a high level of integrated reflection. The repertoire which can be taken into consideration ranges widely from the Ballets Russes of Diaghilev to the present day.
Session 1: Musical Notation and Choreo-graphy
Nicolas Donin, Claudia Jeschke, Marina Nordera
The musical score can be seen as a graphic image of the sound. Its historical evolution is linked not only to the transformation of the constituents of musical language and their fixation with graphical signs, but also to the changing conventions in performance traditions, music theory and aesthetics that have privileged some musical parameters rather than others. If we are to consider that two of the fundamental elements of music, i.e. time and sound, are not reproducible in signs, it is possible to understand how little a score can contain of a musical work. Despite the existence of a margin of freedom between the graphical image and the realization of sound, the musical score remains prescriptive. However, when it becomes part of a choreomusical project, it changes its status, becoming a flexible structure that can give origin to a number of symbolic weavings and associations.
Despite the terminology identifying its creative practice (choreography) and the invention of various ways of noting it down (choreo-graphies), Western dance performance is linked to an oral dimension and follows a different course to the one pertaining to music. The composition and execution of dance are inseparable from corporeal presence, but not from that of a text. The systems of notation, devised since the end of the fifteenth century, display a complex relationship between dance, language and writing. They are 'texts' of a kind of non-written 'performing knowledge', that allows more or less partial access to the relationship between culture, writing and movement creation, and to the theories related to the body and movement which have led to its formulation.
Goals such as aide-mémoire, recording, transmission, a public and neutral identification of movement have guided the conception of codes that use abstract signs and figurines, sometimes adopting musical notation and sometimes producing thoroughly new graphical systems.
Session 2: Choreomusical Poetics: Strategies and Processes
Stephanie Jordan, Susanne Franco, Ulrich Mosch
A choreographer can commission a score, use one or more existing pieces of music, draw from oral tradition, recordings or live improvisation. In the first decades of the twentieth century, the repertoire of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes show several examples of direct collaboration between composer and choreographer; also today in the wake of this legendary company, many choreographers and performance artists try to establish a creative understanding with composers. In the 1950s John Cage and Merce Cunningham have theorized and practiced a cooperation based on the reciprocal autonomy of the visual and sound components, whose meeting should be exclusively dictated by chance. This kind of collaboration has opened the way to an awareness of ontological independence between sound and movement.
On the basis of what aesthetic and/or productive principles does the collaboration between choreographer and composer occur and develop? When music and dance are theorized as independent, are they reciprocally indifferent? What poetic modalities and poietic demands push a choreographer to make use of a pre-existing music score? What new meanings does music gain when inserted in a collage including music from other historical-cultural contexts? When that happens, what is the impact on the choreomusical work?
Session 3: Sentient Bodies
Dee Reynolds, Lawrence Zbikowski, Eric Clarke
An interdisciplinary perspective on the embodied quality of the cognitive processes has brought to a new interaction between dance and music, and science. In recent decades, cognitive science has recognized that the mind of each individual is tightly linked to social context, that cognitive processes are dependent on experience, and that thought is only partially expressed through language. The so-called 'grounded cognition' (Barsalou 2008) considers, among other things, the role of the imagination as a mediator in the relationship between body and mind, whereas neuroscientists have demonstrated how corporeal experience can influence knowledge. The discovery of mirror neurons (Gallese et al. 1996), activating imitative identification on the basis of phenomena of motor resonance, has brought to the fore the old concepts of Einfühlung (Lipps, 1913) and of "metakinesis" (Martin, 1939) that postulated an interaction between who moves and who watches that movement. Kinesthetic empathy determines a sharing of an emotional state shaped by personal history as well as by the sociocultural context to which the audience belongs. Further research has shown that mirror neurons are activated even by sound stimuli. FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) techniques and sophisticated recording technologies allow human motion in space to be analyzed, correlating neural activity both to the person who moves and the one who watches the motion. They also permit the realization of functional mappings of the structures involved in the perception of sound (Gazzola et al. 2006). It has also been proved that in the absence of real perceptions, an individual has the capacity to simulate perceived information, including that associated with motor actions (Barsalou, 1999), that can propagate themselves through an analogical route, passing for example from music to movement and vice versa. The experience can act on cognitive structures also via 'image schemata' (Johnson 1987), that is models of thought, or rather conceptual metaphors (Lakoff-Johnson 2008) based on repeated models of corporeal experience.
Scientific contributions of this type offer opportunities to reflect on constructive processes of the meaning of a choreomusical work, from the perspective of both the watcher and listener, and from the perspective of creator and interpreter, as well as on the modalities through which movement and sound act on the perceptive process. The emergence of parameters inspired by gesture and corporeal acts, such as 'the musical gesture', demonstrates the extent to which somatocentric orientation has acquired an important role in recent musicological research.
Session 4: Dynamic Interactions of Motion and Sound
Inger Damsholt, Massimiliano Locanto, Julia H. Schroeder
The plurality of contexts that today present a simultaneous happening of sound and motion offers important elements for analyzing the ways in which the various elements of a choreomusical work intertwine. The audiovisual synthesis has been considered in a multi-media, above all filmic, environment, using various premises and reaching partially divergent conclusions. Nicholas Cook (1998) has indentified three possible modalities of media interaction: 'comformance', 'contest' and 'complementation'. 'Comformance' refers to a kind of synaesthesia, in which sound and image respond closely to each other; 'contest' consists of forms of competition or rather of opposition that can act on the work's poetic intention in a significant way; finally, 'complementation' identifies possible integrations between the first two modalities. Cook, Gorbman (1987) and Chion's (1990) studies of film music have explained the relationship between the arts implicated as characterized by negotiation. In the wake of Miriam Bratu Hansen's essays (2012), could the structure of the audiovisual text be brought into focus starting with the principles of synchronization and editing? How do such principles respond to the challenges of A digital reality characterized by an incessant proliferation of new media where music and performance interact? How can theories elaborated until now, be applied to the world of dance performance? Which tools does an analysis of the choreomusical work need in order to embrace the multifarious dynamics of motion and sound? How useful or limited can be the investigation of audiovisual recordings?
Session 5: Live bodies, mediatized bodies, 'metabodies'
Antonio Camurri, Susan Broadhurst, Rolf Inge Godøy
In recent times technological resources have allowed a detailed analysis of musical aspects and parameters as well as of gestural constituents of musical execution and interpretation. Research shows that the performer's body is not only a medium, a mechanism needed to translate a virtual musical image (mental and/or graphic) into a real acoustic image, but it also assumes an important role in the definition of that image and the attribution of the so called expressive characters. When the interpreter's gestures, actions and mimics are analyzed not only for their acoustic and sound outcomes, but also for their visual impact on the audience (Davidson 1995), a space for common musicological and choreological research is open.
Practices such as motion tracking, which implies the application of sensors or markers to the interpreter's body, and Artificial Intelligence (an agent capable of perceiving and interacting in the area in which it is situated) offer artistic and didactic opportunities. Digital technologies are nowadays fully integrated in mental, creative and performing processes. They modulate notions of interactivity and 'liveness', and open new possibilities to the relationship between body and sound in space and time. Wireless sensors applied to the performer's body allow the manipulation of digital sound in real time, translating gesture into another medium. These new perspectives may also be read in terms of a 'metabody', which is conceptualized as a 'body of relations in movement' and of unstable identity, exceeding the Cartesian division between body and mind. Technology plays a fundamental role in it (del Val, Sorgner, 2011). The 'metabody' is currently the focus of a European project (www.metabody.eu, 2013-2018).

As the 2015 Atlantic season got off to a quiet start yesterday, Acting Director of the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) Kerry Hinds urged residents to be prepared despite predictions of below normal activity.
She made the call this morning during the DEM's annual press conference to mark the start of Hurricane Awareness Month, being celebrated under the theme Keeping in touch with our Communities.
Acting Director Department of Emergency Management (DEM), Kerry Hinds.
"I am encouraging the public not to be complacent, as one event making landfall can seriously disrupt life in Barbados, causing damage, displacement and significant downtime, which have a crippling effect on our economy," she warned.
Stressing that the concept of comprehensive disaster management was a shared responsibility, Hinds challenged individuals, householders, business owners, and other organizations to recognize the value of such an approach.
"We all have a part to play in assisting in reducing our vulnerabilities to these hazards. It is not the function of Government alone . . . We need to be proactive. Investing in planning and preparedness can significantly reduce the after effects or the impacts of these hazard events," she maintained.
Deputy Director of the Barbados Meteorological Service Sonia Nurse said the forecast for the season, which was updated today, gave a projection for eight named storms – three of which are likely to become hurricanes – and one major hurricane.
She joined calls for residents not to become complacent, reminding them that despite last year's below average forecast, the season still produced systems like Bertha and Gonzalo, which caused power outages, structural damage, mud slides, collapsed roads and deaths across the region.
"That demonstrates why we should not focus on numbers and why we should continue to prepare for any eventuality. This would involve obtaining basic emergency supplies, carrying out any necessary repairs to property, and listening to forecasts on a regular basis as issued by the Barbados Meteorological Services," she stressed.
Can somebody please tell me why everybody in every significant agency in Barbados is "acting ….????


Behavioral health problems are common, significantly impact patient health and quality of life, and are often co-morbid with physical health problems. If patients' behavioral health problems go un- or under-treated, it is more challenging to address their physical health problems. As such, providing care for patients' behavioral health problems is a critical component of OEBC. Behavioral health care can be delivered in the primary care setting by an "integrated care team" of primary care providers, behavioral health providers, and support staff who work together to identify and treat patients.
This Implementation Guide provides guidance and tools a primary care practice can use to develop a vision for integrated care, create a customized implementation plan reflective of its goals and resources, and build strong integrated care teams.

President & CEO – The Cannabis Learning Series & V Strategies Inc.
A comprehensive campaign approach involving policy, education, and employee engagement is needed to address cannabis law changes. This is the "preventative maintenance" of the 2018 Canadian worksite.
That is a mouthful, but not only does it say a lot, it means a lot as well. So let's unpack that statement.
The key is really understanding that, just like taking a vehicle in for regular inspections and maintenance, safety campaigns like those needed around cannabis and other drugs and alcohol are preventative maintenance. They guide our day to day and protect from safety threats. And just like taking care of a vehicle, that maintenance on your site will help ensure a long, safe, and incident free life for your "healthy worksite".
It will be too late once an incident has happened to look back and wonder what more could have been done to clear through the confusion of cannabis law changes. Now is the time to act, before October 17th opens the door to increased incident chances, and confusion around what is, and is not, permissible within the new Canadian workplace.
The simple fact is that when we look at the states of Denver and Washington in the US, where recreational cannabis use has been legal for years, they show us that the use of the drug increases across all age groups after legalization.

Space, astronomy and related topics are definitely a hobby/interest of mine and I try to keep up with developments at least once a week and came across the below which has certainly brought a raised eyebrow.
The issue I have with the As a headline is it is really far to open for interpretation and a lot of media outlets these days seem to go for the concept of shock and awe to grab your attention and don't necessarily convey the reality of what the underlying article is really about.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/01/nasa_find_tupperware_on_titan/ – TUPPERWARE FOUND ON MOON of Saturn (Plastic food boxes boldly go where no plastic food boxes have gone before (Titan)) is a prime example of this.
Sensationalist headlines aside what the world consideres to be a huge discovery and what a scientist considers groundbreaking are two very different things. Given the discovery of water from soil with Curiosity on Mars and the fact the facebook/twitter links at the bottom this discovery (if real) is likely to relate to something found on Mars. Given that we have already worked out that water vapour can be released from the soil it wouldn't be a stretch in my opinion for complex organic molecules to be discovered which whilst not necessarily life in itself could be a building block for more complex organisms or evidence of previous presence of life.
If I was a scentist I would definitely consider it rather groundbreaking especially in the field of exobiology, for the bulk of the world however it doesn't really change a damn thing and many people especially with the issues facing the world as a whole at the moment probably wouldn't even care. Me however, I would find it awesome and a reason to raise my glass to science and push for further investment, exploration in these areas as the logical expansion of our capitalistic viral race.
On the other side of the coin however, I find the timing of it's appearance somewhat interesting. The United States government which is in control of NASA is currently in a state of shutdown due to the ideological differences of the Republican and Democrat parties over the newly introduced health care reforms so a lot of things deemed non-essential are currently closed and their workers from what I can gather are going unpaid. Even websites which once the cost of Hardware (servers, internet connectivity) and domain registration fees have their costs virtually sunk and have very little in the way of ongoing operational expenses are currently pointing to a notice message.
One of these is NASA, with the bulk of it's employees currently on furlough.
The domain rememberthe13th was registered on the 1st of October, which was just after the shutdown came into effect so effectively it would not have been able to receive funding from official sources as they will not even run their own website or update existing social media sites so it would have needed to be privately funded. Now domains are dirt cheap, as is webhosting the domain name resolves to an IP address of 192.111.149.82 which seems to link to a company called Adixy where you can buy youtube views, twitter followers, facebook likes and "reach your marketing potential" so it is a shared server. The IP address is allocated to CraftingHost which seems to be an incredibly low cost virtual server provider.
So based on the services with which that ip address is shared with I am going to lean towards this being more of a phishing site looking to capture your details to then use towards other needs taking advantage of the fact that only mission control at NASA is currently in operation so they can take advantage of the shutdown whilst no one will really speak out against it. Whilst I won't use the share functions on the site and expose access to my underlying credentials or add my email to be updated I will take a look after the release date to find out what it is out of sheer curiosity.
Hmm I notice that they are bringing forward the date of the announcement due to "a change of plans" one thing I find interesting however is just when they consider to be the 6th of October. As at the time of writing the countdown clock has 5 hours and 7 minutes remaining on it (6:52pm GMT +8). Wait, what? Isn't NASA's headquarters in Washington DC (and currently closed) and the time there is currently 6:52am 10/05 so 5 hours from now is going to peg the time there at about lunch time on the 5th of October.
Well at least it wasn't a rickroll video I guess, but sadly it was predictable with someone trying to take advantage of NASA being unavailable to dismiss it and was just a promotion for some music video.
Whilst I do somewhat understand the concept of viral marketing used today, personally I believe you should be able to market your goods/service without trying to piggy back off something else.
At least my hopes were not dashed, but right now really would be a good time for NASA to have something Earth shattering. They don't have their shuttles anymore and with the state of the US economy they really can't afford to be innovators in todays' world.
Is always China I guess.


Is always fun to learn a new crochet stitch or technique and Star crochet Stitch is one of my favorites, it creates a great optical sensation and you can use infinity colors combination, this stitch is great to use on items such bags, pillows, blankets, pot holders, you can appreciate how it looks exactly on my Fiona Purse crochet pattern, you will love it!
You need two colors yarn, in this case we use green and fuchsia color.
Make sure to always have your 40 chains.
Row 1: with green color yarn, ch2 (count as first dc), 1dc on 4th ch from hook, 1dc in next 38 sts.
Row 3: change to fuchsia color yarn and work: ch2 (count as first dc), 1dc in next 2sts, ch10, *skip one dc, 2dc in next st, 1dc in next 2 st, 2dc in next st, ch10, skip one dc, 1dc in next 2 st, ch10, repeat fom* three times more, skip one dc, 1dc in next 3 sts.
Row 4: change to green color yarn and work: ch2 (count as first dc), 1dc in next st, 2dc in next st, ch10, *2dc in next 2 st, ch10, skip one dc, 1dc in next 4 sts, ch10, repeat from* three times more, 2dc in next st, 1dc in next 2 sts.
Row 5: change to fuchsia color yarn and work: ch2 (count as first dc), 1dc in next 2 sts, ch10, skip one dc, *skip one dc, 1dc in next 2 st, ch10, skip one dc, 2dc in next st, 1dc in next 2 st, 2dc in next st, ch10, repeat from* three times more, skip one dc, 1dc in next 3 sts.
Row 6: change to green color yarn and work: ch2 (count as first dc), 1dc in next 3 sts, ch10, *skip one dc, 1dc in next 4 sts, ch10, skip one dc, 2dc in next 2 st, repeat from* three times more, 1dc in next 4 sts.
Row 7: change to fuchsia color yarn and work: ch2 (count as first dc), 1dc in next 2 sts, ch10, *skip one dc, 2dc in next st, 1dc in next 2 st, 2dc in next st, ch10, skip one dc, 1dc in next st, 1dc in next st, repeat from* three times more, skip one dc, 1dc in next 3 sts.
Repeat from row 4 to 7.
2 – Cross loops on row 1 as you see on (picture 2). This is just a sample of a small part, if your piece is bigger, cross all loops across your piece.
Your Star Stitch is ready to use on your favorite project!

How do you end the design on the last row?


Personally, I hate this question. I was reminded of this fact a few minutes ago while reading a blog post giving advice to introverts attending writers conferences. One of the suggestions was to ask what are you currently reading as a conversation opener. Generally, I'm speechless when someone uses that question on me....... even when I am in … Continue reading What are you reading?

The Electricity Club has recently been gaining much enjoyment from a video which brutally satirises TRENT REZNOR and NINE INCH NAILS.
'This is a Trent Reznor Song' by FREDDY SCOTT hits the proverbial nail (sorry couldn't resist it) on the head in deconstructing the various elements that make up a NIN song.
Based around 'A Copy Of' from the last NIN album 'Hesitation Marks', Scott's rather hilarious track is structured in such a way that it wickedly pokes fun at many of the trademarks of Reznor's act – including the "random percussion", "weird guitar" and several knowing references to their lead singer's vocal production techniques.
What makes the song so successful is the attention to detail, like the little delays in the verse and the use of the "Weird sound" FX pedal before the song's bridge. The video itself contains what have now become recognisable tropes in certain NIN promos, the silhouette shot, the creepy sepia dead animal shot and the intercut band performances with Scott perfectly aping Reznor's stage posture.
Comedian Scott had previously caused a bit of a stir with his RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS aping 'Abracadabralifornia', which although semi-fooling some into thinking it was a new Chili's track, in places actually came across more like a MORRISSEY sound-a-like than lead vocalist Anthony Keidis.

Q: Bootstrap grid formatting I'm trying to format a slide in a bootstrap that has the format of the following fiddle: fiddle
The two divs with "hidden" in them are meant to disappear when on desktop so that when someone is using a tablet or phone they stack on top of each other. This works fine in the fiddle where the height is set to a fixed number
height: 100px;

But I don't want to set the height this way. If I remove this line you can see in the fiddle that "hidden2" drops down in a weird way instead of acting as a spacer for the text content on the bottom. I've also noticed if I remove the img tag the grid works fine.
I'm not sure why it does this and with real content it just looks like there's no spacer and all the text hugs the left side. Any ideas?

A: Edited: You can have a width of the content so there is space on both sides, and using the bootstrap grid system drop the text content down.
HTML

text content

>

CSS
div {
    height: 100px;
    background: red;
    border: 1px solid black;
    text-align: center;
}
img {
    border-radius: 50%;
}

.whole {
    margin: 0 10%;
    width: 80%;
}

A: As much as i understood from your question, you're trying to preserve the functionality found on the fiddle link you provided, but also preserving equal heights. I also understand that you do not want to assign the height manually (i.e in your case, hard-coded).
There are two ways of approaching the solution: Javascript or CSS3.
Javascript:
I usually wouldn't solve layout issues with Javascript, but since your scenario has more than one row invloved, the easy way is JavaScript. With the help of jQuery, you can iterate through the div elements, having an initialized variable (example: var bHeight = 0). Check for each element's height; if it's greater, assign it to bHeight.
Your code should something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
    var bHeight = 0;
    $("div").each(function(){
        if($(this).height() > bHeight)
            bHeight = $(this).height();
    }); //end of loop

    //now, assign height to all
    $("div").height(bHeight);
});

This method will allow you to assign the height of your columns dynamically.
CSS3:
A little research online cold introduce you to the CSS3 display: flex, yet it's totally up to you to decide regarding browser support (CSS flex Property), and more details on solving your issue here: (A Complete Guide to Flexbox)

La Legió IV Flavia Felix (quarta legió «Flavia afortunada») va ser una legió romana que va reclutar l'emperador Vespasià per substituir la Legió IV Macedonica que havia dissolt l'any 70 per la seva conducta poc honorable a la revolta dels bataus.

A la revolta dels bataus la IV Macedonica va lluitar amb Vespasià, però l'emperador no se'n fiava, segurament perquè abans havia recolzat Vitel·li. La va dissoldre i va crear la IV Flavia Felix, posant-li el nom de Flàvia, la seva dinastia. La va estacionar a Burnum (actual Kistanje), a Dalmàcia. La constitució de la nova legió va ser supervisada per Gneu Juli Agrícola, i com que el símbol de la legió era un lleó, és possible que es constituís cap al juliol de l'any 70.

Va rebre el cognomen de Felix en els seus primers anys d'existència, probablement per les seves victòries sobre els dacis. Després de la invasió dels dacis l'any 86, l'emperador Domicià va traslladar la legió a la Mèsia Superior, a Singidunum, l'actual Belgrad, des d'on havia de defensar els limites del Danubi. L'any 89 la legió va participar en la invasió de Dàcia iniciada per Domicià i dirigida pel general Teti Julià que va derrotar Decèbal, i més tard a les Guerres dàcies (101-102, 105-106) que va dur a terme l'emperador Trajà. Va tenir el seu campament a la ciutat de Sarmizegetusa Regia, on van començar a desmuntar les seves defenses. Adrià va traslladar la legió de nou a Singidunum.

Marc Aureli va realitzar diverses incursions contra els germànics a l'altra banda del Rin, i la IV Flavia Felix va participar en aquestes campanyes, ja que l'emperador tenia la intenció de crear una nova província sota control del governador Aulus Juli Pompili Pisó, comandant de la Legió I Italica i de la IV Flavia Felix.

Durant les Guerres Marcomanes (166-180) la legió era defensant el Danubi contra el pas de les tribus germàniques. Després de la mort de Pèrtinax, la legió va recolzar Septimi Sever, governador de la Pannònia Superior en front dels usurpadors Pescenni Níger i Clodi Albí.

És possible que la legió hagués participat en alguna de les guerres contra els sassànides, però va ser a la Mèsia Superior fins al , segons diu la Notitia Dignitatum.

Brazil is one of the largest coffee producers in the world for good reason. Brazilian beans are versatile and mild. Whether you prefer a light, city, or French roast, this silky-smooth coffee features creamy notes of chocolate, cinnamon, and caramel and is an excellent choice for home roasting.
"Fell in love with this bean when abroad, which of course has as much to do with the roast as the bean, itself. Novice roaster, here, but I have learned the difference between first crack and second crack. First crack on the first batch seemed to take forEVer, a good couple of minutes longer than expected. So long, I thought I missed it, and it did not sound like the entire batch was going. A couple of minutes later, I heard what sounded like the beginning of second crack, but it never really got going, either. As the beans were getting dark, I put my Behmor into cool mode. Seconds later, smoke. The beans survived, but barely, and were the darkest I had ever done. Future batches I settled on a very light roast, heard the same "limited" first crack, and bailed out early. These beans did fine on a light roast. 5th time through (5 pound bag), same thing happened as the first, just never heard that good first crack. Based my stoppage on appearance rather than sound. Came out as a pretty good medium/dark.
Just wondering what it is about these beans. I have maybe 10 other batches under my belt, and have never had a tough time, even on my very first batch, on the cracks.

I am trying to figure out how to limit report output based on user id. Is there specific WHERE clause criteria or a special funtion or procedure that needs to be called? I want the output of a custom Crystal report limited to the data accessible by the specific user that runs the report based on regular Clarity permissions. For instance, a manager should only be able to see the salary data of his employees. We are running Clarity v8.1.1 and Crystal XI Release 2. Thanks!
When you use NSQL in portlets, it provides a security construct; AND @WHERE:SECURITY:RESOURCE:resources.id@ which (for the "resources" table) check that the executing user has rights over that "resources.id". So if you "preview" such an NSQL query in the Studio, you can see that this construct is converted into SQL like this; (from an Oracle DB) AND resources.id in (select object_instance_id from odfsec_resource_v2 where user_id = > ) So I would suggest that you can include such a SQL clause in your underlying B/O code somewhere to accomplish what you need! NOTE that there are different constructs for PROJECTS, RISKS etc, so you'll need to experminent a bit to work out which is appropriate. Dave.
If you refer OOB reports, they pass user_id and obs_unit_id as parameters in each report. You can view properties of these parameters in Crystal Reports XI to see how they're connected to Universe. If you're not using to construct your reports then you would like build your security clause by refering comments as other said. If you know universe designing then you would be able to open CA Clarity universe and see joins there as well.

Biografia
Suo padre, originario della Val Giudicarie, era controllore zootecnico nelle valli di Non e di Sole; sua madre, maestra in un paese non lontano da Cles era di Pedersano, paese nei pressi di Rovereto.

Renzo a 17 anni perde il padre molto amato, per il quale ha scritto poesie incluse nella sua prima raccolta di versi Niente e qualcosa è la vita, che raccoglie poesie scritte tra i 16 e i 23 anni.

Nel febbraio del 1968, con un gruppo di studenti dell'Istituto "Tambosi" di Trento, fonda il Gruppo Interpretativo Giovanile che si intitolerà a Pablo Neruda nel 1972, all'indomani della morte del grande poeta sudamericano del quale il Gruppo aveva recitati versi sin dal 1969. Il Gruppo "Neruda" ha al suo attivo circa 700 letture, recital e soprattutto spettacoli di poesia, musica, canto, pittura messi in scena in Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Piemonte e all'estero, in Ungheria, Germania e Francia. I testi degli spettacoli, in italiano ma più spesso in dialetto, sono di Renzo Francescotti, tratti dalle sue raccolte di poesia e dai suoi poemetti.

Con al suo attivi oltre cinquanta libri Renzo Francescotti è uno scrittore che utilizza vari registri linguistici; la sua produzione si inscrive in vari generi letterari: la poesia in dialetto e in lingua nazionale, la narrativa, i saggi storici, letterari e artistici, il teatro, il giornalismo.

Del 1968 è il suo primo libro di versi in dialetto, El ritorno, primo di tre poemetti il dialetto trentino sul tema dell'emigrazione, che saranno ripubblicati in unico volume, Emigranti (1988).

A 26 anni, nel 1966, Francescotti pubblica a Torino Il Battaglione Gherlenda - romanzo storico sulla resistenza trentina che è stato preceduto l'anno prima dal saggio La Resistenza nel Tesino - primo suo romanzo e primo di una serie di sei romanzi ambientati tra le due Guerre mondiali. Sono romanzi che dal Trentino si allargano in altre regioni e all'estero, in cui i temi sociali e storici, anticipati in saggi storici precedenti, sono raccontati in un personale tono epico-lirico.

Hanno scritto su questo autore prefazioni e recensioni critici e autori famosi come Giorgio Bàrberi Squarotti, Tullio De Mauro, Cesare Vivaldi, Giacinto Spagnoletti, Raffaele De Grada, Paolo Ruffilli, Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti, Franco Loi.

Nel 1981 Tavo Burat lo definiva "uno dei maggiori 'dialettali' contemporanei", mentre nel 1987 Tullio De Mauro lo citava assieme a suoi versi nel suo saggio L'Italia delle Italie.

Il suo poemetto Celtica (1997) è stato tradotto e pubblicato l'anno seguente in Romania. Il suo capolavoro in dialetto è considerato Lóvi solagni-Lupi solitari, un poema di 350 pagine che unifica cinque poemetti, introdotto da un saggio del poeta e saggista piemontese Tavo Burat che così conclude: "Con questo poema Lovi solagni-Lupi solitari - portato avanti caparbiamente per l'arco di dodici anni, Renzo Francescotti ha dato al Trentino la più esemplare opera della sua letteratura dialettale, oltre che un poema che ha ben pochi esempi analoghi in campo nazionale".

Alcune sue opere sono state tradotte in inglese e pubblicate nel volume Dialect poetry of Central and Northern Italy. A Trilingual Anthology realizzato dal dipartimento di lingue e letterature moderne dell'Università della Città di New York.

Zaid Hamid hates you.. Or vice versa?
February 19th, 2011 @ 6:29 PM
One fine night, the best defense analyst in the world aka Zaid Hamid pondered over where his life was and where it is now ( ofcourse every news channel is marred by him cussing at the Indian Zionists, Israeli Zionists, Pakistani Zionists, Super Zionists with no real identity, so he must be doing something right, or is it?)... He decided that he would go public, and this time not refrain to cursing the zionists, the army, the dhobi who ruined his prized red hat or the local grocery store, this time he thought he'd write a few verses in English to show the world that he can write, and write he did and what he came up with, in his opinion would win him literary accolades (but the darn jews get them every time don't they? )..
I hate the way you're not fond of me,
and the way you mock my hair,
I hate the way you call me khwar,
I hate it when I'm here.
I hate your big dumb Zionist roots,
and the way you kick my behind,
I hate you so much it makes me a chick,
and forces me to commit this crime.
I hate the way I cry at night,
I hate how I'm so shy,
I hate it how I have no staff,
even worse when I can't eat paye.
I hate the way I'm always found,
and the fact that I can only crawl,
but mostly I hate the way I can't save you,
not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
YAKEEN KIJIAY!!!!

iMULLAH Touch
August 1st, 2010 @ 7:49 PM
Coming out of his "official" house given to him by the lovely Government right next to the very Mosque he chairs, Molvi sahab gathers all the phlegm he can and spits it on the side walk because apparently the quote of cleanliness completing half the faith is only valid inside the mosque making every area outside void of any Shariah clauses. After delving into the holy ritual of spitting, molvi sahab gawks at the female population passing by and as an immediate response to an external stimulus i.e. a female life form, a reflex action magically happens making molvi sahab reach for his crotch and scratch it like he's about to win the lottery. Subsequently as expected he blames Satan for everything that is happening right before his eyes…
"Kia zamana agaya hei, humara eeman kamzor hogaya hei, aurat zaat ko dekho, kia kia kartee rehtee hein"
Surprisingly enough, he doesn't think that scratching his crotch in public like a gazillion mosquitoes rammed in from somewhere is anywhere near as sinful as a lady driving. But oh well, such is life from the mullah's eyes….Refreshing. The kids in the madrassah start to gather around molvi sahab (half of the kid population being his own, ten wives just had to leave their impact no? ) and he starts to tell them the values of "life". Coming from someone who doesn't know the repercussions of letting out his bodily toxins/fluids in public which can cause serious health hazards, the kids are NOT in good hands at all, but then again he's their father and it is his right *yawn*..
After the call for prayers is made, molvi sahab returns to his house and freshens up, takes out his itr bottle and religiously pours it all over him so that he can smell like he means faith-y business. It is Friday and he has to give a sermon, molvi sahab knows exactly what he's going to say, he's going to rant about "Amreeka" and then call them "Jaahil" and read a few verses and then sway to the sound of his echoes and look at all the people sitting in the front rows listening to him. It's all chalked out..
"Everyone is requested to switch their mobile foons off, my fellow Muslimeen, Amreeka is bad, amreeka thinks they are god, but there is only one god, so amreeka is blasphemy, amreeka is monogamy and polygamy, and amreeka is pathology. Amreeka is the reason the world is such a bad place because what we do is way less than what they do, we kill ourselves, they kill us, we have the right to kill ourselves, they have the right not to, amreeka is kaafir, amreeka is jaahil, and everything made by amreeka is to be boycotted effective immediately"..
"Phone rings"…
"YEH KIS JAAHIL KA PHONE HEI?"..
And a kid in the front row screams "BABA AAP KA IFOON HEI"…
*shakes head*…

RAWALPINDI: A 13-year-old schoolgirl was allegedly raped for 21 days by policemen as they illegally detained her at the Wah Cantt Police Station.
A Class-VII student Natasha, daughter of a stone crusher Muhammad Aslam, approached Taxila Additional Sessions Judge Rao Abdul Jabbar Khan and narrated to him her mental and physical torture in detention. She also told him that she was pregnant.
After recording her statement, the judge ordered Natasha's medical examination and directed the CPO Rawalpindi to register a case against the accused policemen, and complete investigation within 14 days. Police authorities have failed to act against the accused policemen despite the passage of one month. The RPO says the accused obtained a "stay order" from the high court to pre-empt police action, so he is waiting for the day when the court vacates that order.
According to the information gathered by The News, Natasha is a resident of village Labb Thathu, Tehsil Taxila. Afsar, a close relative of her father Aslam, was killed on January 24, 2010, and an FIR was registered against Aslam's wife Azhar Bibi.
Taxila police picked up Natasha and her brother Yawar Saeed, 18, when policemen failed to arrest their mother, whose whereabouts are still unknown. According to her on-oath statement before the judge, Natasha said the police kept her in a room for 21 days on the premises of the Wah Cantt Police Station, where different police officials, one of them identified as Sub-Inspector Mohammad Mumtaz, made a plaything of her; they would rape her daily at their will, force her to drink alcohol, dance naked, and change their uniforms before her.
These police officials, sensing that she had become pregnant, booked her for the murder on January 24, 2010, and produced her before the court which sent her to the Adiala Jail on judicial remand from where she was released on bail.
On getting initial information, The News approached the victim at her home in village Labb Thathu. The poor victim was still unsure of her surroundings and her father, too poor to even think of taking any steps other than harming himself and his children, seemed to have gone numb with persistent mental trauma.
"They would repeat this (rape) on me every night. And it was only after three weeks when I started feeling sick, and they took me to a court which sent me to the (Adiala) jail. A kind lady constable, who had noticed my condition, told me to tell the truth to the judge in the court but I was too afraid. Somehow, after two days of my release on bail, I gathered courage and chose to tell the court all that had happened to me at the police station," said Natasha with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"They ruined my life. I don't want to go to school because the students and staff there know about what has happened to me. It's too humiliating. What would become of me and my sister? Would the chief justice (of the Supreme Court of Pakistan) take notice of what has happened to me and punish those 'wolves' in uniforms?" Natasha asked.
When contacted, Natasha's counsel advocate Farhana Qamar said that it had been proved by the medical examination of the minor girl that she had been gang-raped. But, she added, the RPO (Regional Police Officer) Rawalpindi was still reluctant to act against the accused policemen.
When contacted, CPO Rao Iqbal told The News that an inquiry had been ordered to ascertain the facts in the case. He said that it was a heinous crime and if the allegations levelled by the girl were proved correct, strict action would be taken against those guilty of crime.
Regional Police Officer (RPO) Aslam Tareen told The News that Natasha moved the court of the ASJ Taxila on April 17, 2010 after her release from jail on bail on April 15.
He said her medical check-up had already been conducted before sending her to jail under the law. Answering a question about the police inaction despite the ASJ's orders, the RPO said accused sub-inspector Mohammad Mimtaz filed a petition before the Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court against the ASJ's orders and the court granted him "stay" to pre-empt registration of an FIR against the accused till the decision of the petition.
The RPO said the first hearing of the stay order was held on May 13, while the second hearing was due during this week. He said the case would be registered if the court vacated the stay order.

Sad entertainment?
In a country where human rights are blatantly ignored, there's not much heed paid to animal rights. But today I was forced to right this post. I heard the sound of bagpipes playing somewhere in the street so I thought there was some "baraat". Yes I know it's a holy day but that's what I thought. But when I went out, there was a "bear show" caravan on it's way. People were paying the madari to watch the bear "dance'. Now to some it may be very entertaining to see an animal dance. But most people don't know what goes on behind drawn curtains.
"The bear show in I-8/3, Islamabad"
Taken from the PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals) :-
"No animal should have to endure this type of abuse. Never patronize roadside bear shows, and when traveling in India and Pakistan, if you see tourists encouraging such a show, speak to them about the cruelty. If you see someone forcing a bear to "dance," report the incident to the closest police station.
Even though it is illegal to capture bears in both India and Pakistan, more than 1,600 sloth bears are being forced to "dance" by madaris—the people who capture and keep the bears. Bear cubs—who are barely 1 year old—squeal in agony as red-hot needles are jabbed through their noses and thick ropes are forced through the throbbing wounds. When the ropes are tugged, the bears lift their legs and "dance." Most of their teeth are pulled out, and they are forced to perform for up to 12 hours a day. Bears are "trained" to dance through a regime of pain and starvation. Many cubs die before the training begins because of the stress of capture, the terrible transportation conditions, starvation, dehydration, and rough handling. Although bears used in these acts would live up to 30 years in the wild, they rarely live more than eight years in captivity."
Go to the website mentioned above and see a video of what is done to these poor animals, also there's a petition there for you to sign to do something about it.

Assault of a Professor at the National University of Modern Languages
by Rehmat Yazdani
Across the world, Universities are a place where anything can be debated at length and professors are respected due to their scholarship and grasp of the subject matter. But is it the case with the Pakistani universities? On February 4, 2010 in Islamabad, the registrar of the National University of Modern Languages beat-up a university Professor Tahir Malik at a students' reception ceremony organized by the International Relations Department of the university.
The registrar of the university is an ex-military serviceman who got maddened after hearing the criticism on General Musharaf's role in power brokering deal with the PPP through the National Reconciliation Ordinance. The registrar also got enraged when Professor Tahir Malik questioned the registrar's appointment which was made without any advertisement or following the prescribed selection criteria. The registrar is neither guilty of his act nor the university administration has taken any disciplinary action against him as yet other than calling for an inquiry of the incident.
According to "The News" this is not the first incident at NUML where a University professor has been assaulted because of criticizing army. At another such incident, Azaz Syed, a journalist teaching in the NUML's Journalism Department, was sacked from his job because of criticized ISI' chief. The News also reports that after these two incidents the tension between NUML's civilian and military staff (retired army officers) has grown to a great extent.
Surely, NUML is one of the many military businesses or "MILBUS" in Pakistan and as Dr Ayesha Siddiqa Agha discusses in her book "Military Inc.", the purpose of these MILIBUS like NUML is to ensure a very dominant social presence as well as gain political and economic control. Besides, the recent incident of assault of a professor by the NUML administrator also suggests that criticizing army can not be tolerated by any means if you are being employed by any of the MILIBUS. But then where goes the fundamental constitutional guarantee of "freedom of speech and expression"? Or probably freedom of speech and expression is only limited to books and it has not yet been accepted by the masses and institutions. Or probably we are not that democratic yet and therefore freedom of speech and expression has not become a norm here.
Update: The President of Pakistan who is also the Chancellor of the NUML has ordered an inquiry into the incident. More Details can be found here http://thenews.jang.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=27097

And the Calm Before the Storm was Broken
by Monazza Talha
December 3rd, 2009 @ 12:38 PM
Islamabad was peaceful for quite some time now. The presence of the security check-posts and military bunkers at different locations was still very much there. But somehow it seemed that people were busy going about their business, carefree and calm. There seemed to be no visible fear of any terrorist activity which usually appears in full form right after such an incident.
But who knew that it was just the calm before the storm. The terrorists hit the city of serenity once again and this time the target was the Naval headquarters located on Margalla Road near Zafar Chowk. Apparently the terrorists' thirst for hitting military headquarters was not quenched with a similar attack on GHQ Rawalpindi about a month and a half ago. They craved for more and next in line was the Naval headquarter.
The attack took place on December 2, 2009 in the afternoon and caused casualties and left numerous personnel with injuries. The people who lost their lives were naval officials. The 13 reportedly injured include a five year old Jonathan.
I salute the ones who lost their lives trying to foil the attack.
I pray for the ones who are injured and wish for them to get better soon.
I can't say anything about the terrorists as am not sure whether to condemn them or pray for them.
PS: Everybody would be please to know that our president and prime minister once again successfully condemned this terrorist activity.

Time warped.
Being someone who was born and raised in Islamabad, the recent plethora of construction, development, drive towards being a metropolitan just make me sad and angry at the same time. What happened to the Islamabad that was there say 5-6 years ago. The map has changed, you barely see the small roads you used to now. I honestly can't differentiate sectors because to me they all look the same or maybe it's the roads that run through them. I miss turns, I sometimes can't tell what road to take to go home even when It's just one straight road. I'm not saying development is a bad thing but there was something unique about Islamabad that slowly and alarmingly is just depreciating to a level where the smoke, rubble, bridges, under-passes and towers will over-shadow the green Islamabad that was. Seems like eons now. I fondly remember when we used to live in G-9/4 me and my mother would walk around g-9/3, g-9/1 and back home. It took us an hour and we'd see the same faces, the same khokha, the same "secret building" which I thought was cool because of the satellites and stuff. And now, walking there is considered a cardinal sin. Road blocks, security checks. It seems like a fortress rather than the place I used to walk everyday. And it just makes me wonder what the need for all this was. True security is an issue but doesn't a "democracy in books" mean that the people are to be taken care of. These road blocks just jam traffic, cause nuisance to people who after a long day at work just want to get home without any complications. Getting stopped and asked for documents is even worse considering the same police walas see you everyday. But they're just doing the job they were assigned to do so to speak.
7th avenue, 9th avenue, whatever avenue. It may streamline traffic but it has made the Islamabad I loved crap. In all honesty I miss the citibank chowk with the four roads and the signals where there were hardly 10 cars in the waiting. I remember at the zero point signal my dad used to stop even if our car was the only car there. And now the zero point interchange has changed the scenery. Whatever happened to the signal we stopped at just to see the white dove?. And now the white dove is usually covered with political slogans and kudos to Mr Rehman Malik or countering terrorism in Pakistan by one of his many chamchas. Islamabad is now in my humble view a city fortress where the rich and famous rule and the not so rich and certainly not famous people suffer. Tower upon tower. When will it all end? Where did the serenity go?! where on earth is the peace? Even haji restaurant eating areas are smaller because of a new tower being built. Hehe. That is in my view a major loss for Haji restaurant is a prime restaurant which too has lost it's charm because people just won't let them be.
I guess time changes everything and the crux of my rant was that the Islamabad that "Was" in my view is and will always be better than the Islamabad that "is" and "will be". Give me a peaceful sector not a Centaurus. Give me a good khokha not a telecom tower. Give me a small but calm road, not an avenue where there is nothing but chaos (literally). To think this small semi-path/street will no longer be in a few years time makes me even more sad.
Time warped or plain simple conforming to social needs and adhering to the principles of the rich.famous.moustached.demented?

The Hebrew Bible: A Comparative Approach
Author: Christopher D. Stanley
In The Hebrew Bible: A Comparative Approach, Christopher D. Stanley provides a Hebrew Bible textbook admirably suited to college and university courses in religious studies.
At once accessible and comprehensive, The Hebrew Bible approaches the Bible through the categories of comparative religion, carefully distinguishing the religion of ancient Israel from the religion represented in the Bible and discussing such dimensions of religion as the role of scripture, symbol and worldview, sacred narrative (myth), ritual and community, and the encounter with the holy.
Bravo! Finally, here is a thoughtful textbook on the Hebrew Bible and its context from the perspective of religious studies. This is a book that—without compromising academic rigor—caters to real students of the twenty-first centruy embarking on a semester-long course...

The Hebrew Bible: A Brief Socio-Literary Introduction
Authors: Norman K. Gottwald and Rebecca J. Kruger Gaudino
One of the pioneers of the socioliterary study of the Hebrew Bible introduces the beginning student to the social forces that shaped ancient Israel's history and scriptures. Norman K. Gottwald brings new light to every book of the Hebrew Bible, and to the older traditions and sources on which those writings in part depend, paying particular attention to the rise and fall of empires and the social revolution achieved in Israel's beginnings.
Rebecca J. Kruger Gaudino has prepared a clear and concise abridgement of Gottwald's classic textbook, now thoroughly updated and lavishly illustrated with maps, diagrams, and photos.
Gottwald's introduction takes you into the world from which the Hebrew Bible emerges. He recreates the full sweep of empires and shows how their literary traditions shape the literary traditions of the Hebrew Bible. . .

Also includes new maps, images, and study questions that are especially designed for the college student.
A balanced and richly informative introduction that covers essential critical and comparative perspectives and sets up pertinent interpretive issues, leaving the instructor free to work with the class in any number of directions...This is a textbook written by someone who not only knows his students but who genuinely likes them—and likes to challenge them!
—Carol Newsom, professor of Old Testament, Candler School of Theology
John J. Collins is Holmes Professor of Old Testament Criticism and Interpretation at Yale Divinity School and author of many works, including Introduction to the Hebrew Bible.
A Social History of Ancient Israel: An Introduction
Author: Rainer Kessler
Histories of ancient Israel have usually focused attention on major figures in powerful positions: kings, prophets, and patriarchs. Kessler asks about the larger social patterns that shaped the everyday life of ordinary people, from the emergence of Israel in the hills of Canaan, to the Jewish populations of Greek city-states in the Hellenistic age.
The introductory section includes discussion of social history as discipline and as method, event history and the "long haul," the representation of social history, and the history of research. Two other sections explore the methods of the social history of Israel and the epochs of Israel's social history, including discussions of environment as living space, Israel's emergence as a kinship-based society, exile and its consequences, and more.
The Social History of Ancient Israel presents a coherent overarching social history that synthesizes the intensive work done on each of the major epochs of Israelite history from the tribal period to the Hellenistic era. It also helps to close the gap between continental and Anglo-American social critics of the Bible whose respective pursuits have not been widely shared with one another to date.
—Norman K. Gottwald, professor of biblical studies emeritus, New York Theological Seminary
Rainer Kessler is professor of Old Testament at the University of Marburg and author of a number of books in Hebrew Bible.
Common Judaism: Explorations in Second-Temple Judaism
Editors: Wayne O. McCready and Adele Reinhartz
Two decades after the publication of E.P. Sanders' monumental Judaism: Practice and Belief inaugurated vigorous debates about the extent and significance of commonality and diversity in ancient Judaism, Common Judaism gathers a host of scholars to present the state of our understanding of what was common ground in Second-Temple Judaism.
By examining the tensions between a "common Judaism" and local settings, partisan Judaism, and the influence of Hellenism, these essays set contemporary discussion on a secure footing. An important resource for scholars and students alike, the contributors include: Lee I. Levine, Susan Haber, Al Baumgarten, David Miller, Eliezer Segal, and many more. Including an introductory essay by E.P. Sanders, this has become a standard reference work in the fields of early Judaism and New Testament studies.
Wayne O. McCready is professor of western religions and director of the Calgary Institute for the Humanities at the University of Calgary.
Adele Reinhartz is dean of graduate studies and research, and professor in the Department of Religion and Culture, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario. She is coeditor of Jesus, Judaism, and Christian Anti-Judaism: Reading the New Testament after the Holocaust.
Introduction to the Old Testament as Scripture
Author: Brevard S. Childs
This introduction attempts to offer a different model for the discipline from that currently represented. It seeks to describe the form and function of the Hebrew Bible in its role as sacred scripture for Israel. It argues the case that the biblical literature has not been correctly understood or interpreted because its role as religious literature has not been correctly assessed.
Child's Introduction stands as a monumental contribution to Old Testament scholarship. It will be, appropriately, a significant factor in biblcial studies for at least the balance of this century.
—John F. Priest, author
Brevard S. Childs is Sterling Professor of Divinity, Emeritus at Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Connecticut. He is the author of several Augsburg Fortress books: Introduction to the Old Testament as Scripture, Old Testament Theology in a Canonical Context, and Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments.
The Yahwist's Landscape: Nature and Religion in Early Israel
Author: Theodore Hiebert
Hiebert's foundational study opens the world of nature as a major aspect of biblical thought. It lays to rest the traditional dichotomy between nature and history that has been so long read into the Bible and Israel's religion, redeeming the natural world as the realm of human life and God's care.
Professor Theodore Hiebert has written a 'must read' book for biblical scholars and their students, for the clergy and well-informed laity. . .
—Larry Stager, professor of archaeology of Israel, Harvard University
Theodore Hiebert is the Francis A. McGaw Professor of Old Testament at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. He is the author of essays on biblical perspectives on nature in The New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, The Oxford Companion to the Bible, and The Anchor Bible Dictionary.
The Green Psalter: Resources for an Ecological Spirituality
Author: Arthur Walker-Jones
Concern for the earth and biblical faith have had an uneasy relationship. Ecological theologians have often cited biblical themes of dominion or "mastery" over the land as contributing to our present environmental crisis. Walker-Jones explores important genres and metaphors in the Psalms for earth, the environment, and living things, while tracing their influence in contemporary culture, for example, in recent films. He shows that the Psalms, like the earth that is our home—can be dangerous but also provide wonderful resources for life.
The psalmists embrace the world of creation as essential in the journey of persons of faith, and Arthur Walker-Jones introduces readers to this journey. This book should be read by all who wish to explore biblical resources for a new ecological worldview.
—Theodore Hiebert, professor of Old Testament, McCormick Theological Seminary
Arthur Walker-Jones is associate professor of theology at the University of Winnipeg and cochair of the Academic Teaching and Biblical Studies Section of the SBL. His writings include Hebrew for Biblical Interpretation.
An Unsettling God: The Heart of the Hebrew Bible
Author: Walter Brueggemann
In the pages of the Hebrew Bible, ancient Israel gave witness to its encounter with a profound and uncontrollable reality experienced through relationship. This book, drawn from the heart of foremost Old Testament theologian Walter Brueggemann's Theology of the Old Testament, distills a career's worth of insights into the core message of the Hebrew Bible. God is described there, Brueggemann observes, as engaging four "partners"–Israel, the nations, creation, and the human being–in the divine purpose. This volume presents Brueggemann at his most engaging, offering profound insights tailored especially for the beginning student of the Hebrew Bible.
A luminous and honest reading of the relationality that animates the Hebrew Scriptures. Brueggemann's masterful exposition of the fragility and resilience of covenant will leave readers unsettled indeed, for here we glimpse a God who is indescribably powerful yet 'deeply at risk' in relationships. . .
—Carolyn J. Sharp, associate professor of Hebrew Scriptures, Yale Divinity School
Walter Brueggemann, through his teaching, lecturing, and writing, has effectively demonstrated the significance of the Old Testament for our fractured world today. Recognized as the preeminent interpreter of the ancient texts in relation to questions posed by a variety of academic disciplines, he has shown the way toward a compelling understanding of the major components of the faith and life of ancient Israel, especially its Psalms, the prophets, and the narratives. His award-winning Theology of the Old Testament quickly became a foundational work in the field.
Professor Brueggemann, who holds the ThD from Union Seminary, New York, and the PhD from St. Louis University, is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia. He was previously Professor of Old Testament at Eden Theological Seminary, St. Louis. His many Augsburg Fortress books, including The Threat of Life: Sermons on Pain, Power, and Weakness, exhibit a fecund combination of imaginative power, sound scholarship, and a passion of justice and redemption.
On November 17, 2000 the Association of Theological Booksellers presented Walter Brueggemann and Augsburg Fortress with a Theologos Award for Best General Interest Book 2000 at a dinner in Brueggemann's honor. The award-winning book, Deep Memory, Exuberant Hope: Contested Truth in a Post-Christian World, which was edited by Patrick D. Miller, came out in July 2000.
The Word Militant: Preaching a Decentering Word
Editor: Walter Brueggemann
Against the easy assurance of a too-enculturated religion, Walter Brueggemann refocuses the preaching task around the decentering, destabilizing, always risky word that confronts us in Scripture—if we have the courage to hear. These powerful essays, previously available only in journals, are here combined with a newly composed preface and introduction. Includes a foreword from the Reverend William H. Willimon.
Reading the Hebrew Bible After the Shoah: Engaging Holocaust Theology
Author: Marvin A. Sweeney
Is theology possible after the Shoah? Marvin Sweeney challenges biblical theologians to take that question with utmost seriousness. Sweeney examines often ignored biblical texts where ancient Israel contemplated the problem of apparent divine absence and "divine evil," and finds the perspective of post-Holocaust theology an indispensable interpretive resource.
In biblical stories like those of Abraham, Moses, Jeroboam, Manasseh, Josiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Esther, Job, and more, Sweeney finds the recognition "that human beings cannot always depend upon God to act to ensure righteousness in the world." The insistence, common among Holocaust theologians, that human beings must assume their own responsibility for doing justice and righteousness in the world is, Sweeney argues, powerfully present already in the Bible itself. This book is an important contribution to modern biblical theology and to Holocaust theology as well.
Marvin Sweeney examines the evidence that questions about YHWH's fidelity in the face of evil originated with the Bible. Against the background of research on the Shoah, this synchronic analysis exposes the extraordinary effort in ancient Israel to achieve a viable theodicy.
