Muslim Leaders: Want Your People to Please God? Try a Little Mercy.
You may not have noticed it, but recent news items out of several Islamic countries recounting efforts to enforce religious laws have been horrifying.
In Iran, several young men and women were jailed for making a video of themselves dancing together. In Sudan, a wife and mother has been sentenced to die for being a Christian. And in Pakistan, yet another young wife and expectant mother was stoned to death allegedly for the sake of her family's honor.
Help persuade authorities in Sudan to release Mariam Yahya Ibrahim and revoke her death sentence.
Now I realize that when such atrocities make the headlines here in the West that it scarcely fazes you, considering your indifference toward those you dismiss as infidels. Similarly, your disdain for liberal societies such as ours makes it easy for you to discount our declarations of outrage.
I understand—to a degree. Zeal for your own faith makes it hard for you to value religious liberty, especially when this noble principle—as it has in our country—degenerates into a license for all sorts of immorality. Similarly, when Christians denounce harsh rules and strict penalties it's easy to accuse us of hypocrisy since our faith was founded in part on a very restrictive moral code—the law of Moses.
But here's the thing. The law as it is being applied in your societies is not only cruel on its face, it is doubly unjust because ultimately it will fail to produce what you desire—citizens who love God and each other.
Because no matter how strictly the law is enforced, it can never on its own make people good. A person may obey the law perfectly, for example, but still seethe with hatred or greed, merely biding his time until the moment when he can act on his evil intentions.
Then there's the very sad truth that no one completely obeys the law. Only God is perfect, and therefore only God can keep his own law—which he did in the person of his son, Jesus. And only by living as a perfectly just human being was Jesus able, through his crucifixion and resurrection, to offer an acceptable atonement to God on behalf of the rest of us who can't keep God's law.
This doctrine, that God became man in order to redeem his sinful creatures, is of course offensive to Muslims, who see their deity as aloof in his sublime superiority.
But consider this. If there is no need for God to provide vicarious perfection to human beings, then why do our attempts at keeping religious law fail so miserably?
Jesus, on the other hand, shocked the religious leaders of his day by warning them that they needed to examine themselves before accusing others of breaking the law. What's more, he told lawbreakers that he did not come to condemn them but to offer mercy and redemption.
Speaking of grace, Christians also believe that the triumphant ministry of Jesus fulfilled the law of Moses so that much of it no longer applies to our daily lives. (We happily partake of shrimp, for example, and don't get offended when people dress in poly-cotton blends.) We also take to heart the distinction Jesus made between duties owed to God and duties owed to the state. Consequently, because the law cannot by itself produce adherents to divine truth, we argue that individuals should be free to pursue faith according to their own consciences.
This may produce a messy society, but what is the alternative? Endemic corruption.
Here's the way it works. Even leaders can't keep their own interpretation of religious law, so they abuse their power and try to hide or rationalize their crimes. This foments resentment and unrest, so in order to enforce adherence to their impossible code they resort to the lash, to prison, and to the executioner's sword. In the name of their god they rule through fear.
The good news is that the redemption of Jesus and the transforming power of his Spirit are still at work, and still available to any who will receive them.
Better still, by changing people these divine gifts also change society—without resorting to cruelty or fear.

Q: Java Class Loaders Hierarchy There is very good article on class loading. But this opens many questions in my mind.
I understand the hierarchy of class loaders (Bootstaper, Extension, System), but my question is are they real classes extending in the manner? If yes

*

*Can I see the Java Doc of these classes?

*What is the relationship of these classes with class "java.lang.ClassLoader"

If no, what are they (instances?) and how is the hierarchy defined?
In case I am missing a whole big concept, you may want to cite me to some good article.

A: Custom class loaders are just instances of Java objects, as you already stated.
Can I see the Java Doc of these classes?

Yes, if you have the sources or JavaDocs, as with any other class.
What is the relationship of these classes with class "java.lang.ClassLoader"

ClassLoader is the abstract base class that all concrete class loaders extend. An example of such a class loader would be java.net.URLClassLoader and java.security.SecureClassLoader.

Black Lung is a local Baltimore based band and they play a psychedelic style of rock that is drenched in distortion.
Sierra is a band from Kitchener in Ontario, Canada (a little west of Toronto). They play some moody stoner rock/metal and this is a rare chance to catch them down in our area.
Caustic Casanova is from Washington DC and plays some really catchy stoner jams and they're the perfect opener for this show.


NEW MEXICO CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE NEEDS YOU!
Calling all miners, ranchers, railroaders, educators, artists, history buffs and those who care about celebrating the history of Raton during the upcoming New Mexico Centennial. A community committee to plan and coordinate events and activities is needed. If you have ideas and interest in participating, or know someone who might, please sign up at the Shuler Theater to be notified of the next meeting, or call 445-2243.


Use the slip road appropriately. Bring yourself up to speed with vehicles on the motorway before joining the traffic.
Stick to the inside lane. The inside (leftmost) lane should be used at all times except when it becomes a filter lane for traffic leaving the motorway or you are overtaking. Driving in an outside lane unnecessarily leads to congestion and is inconsiderate to other road users.
Do not tailgate. Tailgating increases the risk of accidents. If you are tailgating someone look to overtake or slow down. You should always leave a gap of at least two seconds between you and the car in front – this should be doubled in wet weather. If you are being tailgated see if you can move into an inside lane allowing the vehicle behind you to get past.
Be aware of large vehicles. Lorries frequent the motorway and their drivers may behave differently to you in a regular vehicle. For example when they are travelling uphill they may need to maintain their cruising speed and this may result in them driving close behind you. Also be aware that if two lorries are travelling close together on an uphill stretch it may lead to one pulling out suddenly to maintain its speed. Never dawdle alongside large trucks or HGVs as you may find yourself in their blind spot, which is roughly alongside their cab – if they change lanes without seeing you, you may find yourself having to take evasive action, or worse.
Check your blind spot. When changing lanes check your mirrors and glance over your shoulder to ensure you have a clear passage. Indicate well in advance and watch out for motorcyclists, particularly in slow or stationary traffic.

Are AR 15s Good For Home Defense?
End of article, right? No? Ok, I can explain why.
Of course, I have come to the determination that the AR platform is the best home defense weapon, but I'm making this for people that are looking for a well-reasoned opinion as to why it's so good. I know there are those that would disagree. I can assure you that this is the best choice for me, hands down. And, it's probably the best for you. Virtually all criticisms of the weapon are completely unfounded. It's near-perfect, really. Being able to custom-fit the AR 15 to the task it is designed for is, in my opinion, the strongest case for ARs as Home Defense weapons. Being able to shoulder it and easily manipulate a gun with a light and a red dot optic provides you with the control and the tools to own every shot you fire. When your family's lives are on the line, you better hit what you're shooting at, you better know what you're shooting at, and know what is beyond the target before you shoot. ARs are excellent in every way you need a home-defense gun to excel. And, you can depend on them like only a few, special guns in the world. Remember, once you've decided to shoot, whatever gun you're using better go bang - or you'll be dead.
So, why would you want an AR 15 to do all that, you ask? There's really two ways to tackle the question: 1. What benefits does it provide and what are the negative aspects of the gun? (Pro v Con) Or, 2. What else are you going to use and how does it compare to the AR? This isn't Twitter, so I can spend the text to tackle both and, hopefully, provide a good understanding of why it's the best home defense choice we can make.
1. Pros vs Cons:
Well, the benefits are numerous: Extremely lightweight (for a rifle), affordable price tag, powerful cartridge (compared to handguns), extremely high capacity, high rate of fire, affordable ammo, highly available ammo, affordable magazines, great availability of magazines, plenty of mounting options and space for every conceivable accessory or optic, safe operation, great accuracy, and tremendous reliability, even in the worst of conditions. It's also extremely modular - from the muzzle device to the stock, from the length of pull to the length of barrel, from the finishes/coatings to the types of ammunition it can be chambered in, this gun is incredibly customizeable and can be made to fit the demands of virtually any application or shooter. You have virtually unlimited options and the very finest materials are being used in the production of AR 15s and their various parts. When you think of the options available for ARs, like the Keymod system, M-LOK, Picatinny rails, the various configurations of handguards (length, material, connection types, mounting options, etc), and options for furniture to provide the textures, ergonomics, etc that you want/need... you just can't beat an AR. It can do almost anything.
Cons: It's a little difficult to fire and operate one-handed, you have to have another gun for concealed carry, not as lethal as a shotgun slug or .300 Win Mag, and it's not as easy to hide within arms reach of your bed as some other guns.
There are, of course, counters to some of those Cons. First, ambidextrous controls and products like Arm-brace Stocks and B.A.D. Levers allow for easier one-handed operation and can be very effective if you actually train for situations where you've lost use of one arm. Of course, you can hide your AR in plain sight so it's very easily accessible. As far as the lethality of the ammo, it's extremely lethal. Our soldiers use it in Iraq and, if you prefer a larger caliber, you can get ARs chambered in 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC, 300 AAC Blackout, and even go AR 10 for beefy .308s. Unfortunately, no one has developed a comfortable inside-the-waistband holster for ARs..... yet. So, does it seem like the Pros out-weigh the Cons? It certainly does to me and it should to you.
2. What options are there? Well, there are: 1. Other Rifles, 2. Handguns, and 3. Shotguns.
Other Rifles/Carbines - I'm going to say we can eliminate bolt-action hunting rifles for CQB. So, you're really looking at something like an IWI Tavor, Sig MPX, or AK-variant. None of those are bad choices, but the AR is better. First off, the AR has quality, factory-new options that are much cheaper than any of those I listed and even the cheapest alternatives - WASR AKs, Scorpion Evos, etc - still fall short in cost of magazines, availability of parts, customization options, and relative quality. I'd take a Ruger AR556 over any of those other options. It's not to say they're bad choices, but the AR has certain benefits that each of those lack and they don't offer much in return for the loss of those benefits. Take the Tavor, for example. Fine gun, but there are some things to consider. It has a little shorter package without sacrificing barrel length (as with a short-barreled AR rifle), which can be helpful, but it's significantly heavier - 7.9 lb Tavor vs 5.8 lb AR 15. (Personally, I feel like a squirrel holding a nut when trying to get both hands on a Tavor, but maybe that's just me.) A price tag of $1500+ and uni-body construction makes replacing damaged parts on much of the gun impractical because it's a serialized part that is being replaced - which makes the gun proprietary and allows IWI to over-charge. Not only that, but your customization is limited by the proprietary design. And, how easy will it be to find spare parts in a Without Rule of Law (WROL) situation? Welcome to the uncertainties and additional costs of AR rifle alternatives. Abandoning the AR platform has significant costs and pitfalls, while offering very little in return.
Handguns - I like Handguns. Well, I like the idea of handguns. I find that they always are over-priced, have limited customization, and aren't as lethal as a rifle. I mean, for $100 less than a Sig P226, I could buy a Ruger AR556 - think about that for a minute. I, mostly, am dissatisfied with the sub-optimal designs. I'd use Gen 3 Glocks, except the grip was not made for a human hand. Maybe ol' Gaston lost his pinky-finger and part of his palm in a wood-cutting accident or he's really an alien, but I don't think he could have designed a worse grip for his gun. (Compare the contour of the G17 to a Sig P226, which has one of the best handgun grips ever made.) The rear sights are also grotesquely bad. Pretty much the rest of the gun is perfect - near flawless operation, extremely lightweight, inexpensive magazines, and high capacity mags. Just think, what if I could could buy a Magpul grip for $20, in a variety of colors, and replace the grip with something that fits my hand better? Nope. Not with handguns and definitely not Glock. Gaston is holding it down for 4-finger people (including the thumb) and he won't change. The closest thing I can find to ideal is a S&W M&P9. Melonited Stainless Steel barrel/slide and a good frame/grip. The factory original trigger is the worst one I've ever pulled, but I can replace it with a Glock-style trigger by Apex for a reasonable price. So, how does the most ideal handgun compare to an AR? Well, $40 magazines, $475 price tag (which isn't terrible, but you'll need a trigger and night sights), only 17 round capacity, and you're shooting 9mm bullets out of a 4" barrel. Oh, adding optics also requires a custom slide - more money. That's just to mount the optic - not to buy one. Not just that, but adding lasers or lights on a pistol can effect their performance and your aim significantly. And, that's before we consider the disadvantages of your optic/sights actually reciprocating with the action. Now, I use handguns and highly recommend having them, but the AR has huge built-in advantages when using them in a home defense situation. Basically, the AR has more lethal ammo, higher capacity, better mounting options for light/optics/grips, etc, and can be better customized to fit a person's needs.
Shotguns - So, we're talking... what, 8+1 capacity? Maybe you've got a Magazine-fed Shotty and get 10+1 or something similar? What about use for weaker shooters? A 3" 12 gauge slug would likely send my wife flying backwards. Are they lethal? Sure! Just try not to think about what happens after the shot exits the body of the person you're shooting. And, using a pump... it's ultra-reliable, but really slow rate of fire. The problems with Shottys are obvious: low capacity, high recoil, and over-penetration are serious concerns. The benefits are also obvious: extremely lethal, relatively inexpensive, and a wide variety of loads. Shotguns are good, but like every other option listed here, they have serious drawbacks - ones that are not present in the AR.
So, when you consider the alternatives, does the AR seem worth it to you? For me, it's a no-brainer: ARs are the best home-defense weapon I can get! If you need to have a bullpup rifle because you have such tight hallways or want a handgun to fire one-handed and can't be bothered to have a rifle too, then maybe an AR isn't for you. But, ARs are easy to shoot, they last forever, and are extremely customizable to whatever tasks/needs/functions you have for them. Do yourself a favor and make the leap to ARs - if you ever need it, you won't regret having an AR.
Sootch00 made a great video for preparedness with the AR platform. I 100% endorse what he says in this video.

There are plurals, and then there's plurals
Last month I gave an overview of grammatical agreement, also called concord, and explained the difference between two main types of it: formal agreement and notional agreement. In this post I focus on a common phrase that exemplifies the difference: there is, where there is known as a dummy, existential, introductory, or anticipatory subject.
There are good reasons to obey formal agreement when you use a form of there is. But there's also reasons not to, sometimes. Using there are with a plural subject, as I did at the start of this paragraph, is formally correct, and appropriate in most situations. But that doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong or inappropriate to use there is with a plural subject, and the same goes for the reduced form there's and the past tense there was.
Some prescriptivists would insist that a line like There's two patients in the waiting room is wrong, end of discussion. But it's more accurate and reasonable to just consider it less formal. This is precisely the distinction made in Quirk and Greenbaum's University Grammar of English, in distinguishing it from There are two patients in the waiting room.
Although the informal, singular form is more suited to conversational speech and is generally dispreferred in writing, it does occur in edited prose. Here are (or Here's) a few examples I've come across:
They were living in the suburbs, and in those days there was still barrel organs playing in the streets. (Penelope Fitzgerald, The Beginning of Spring)
But there was no ants left. (Raymond Carver, 'The Idea', from Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?)
Well, there wasn't any new methods of stopping feeling depressed; there were only the old methods. (Dan Kavanagh [aka Julian Barnes], Fiddle City)
Up on the road, he said, there was hardly any cars, because petrol was rationed, there were only creamery cars and bicycles. (Edna O'Brien, A Pagan Place)
'There's worse things.' (Lawrence Block, Everybody Dies)
There's worse things, indeed – as even Shakespeare knew ('Honey, and milk, and sugar: there is three'). It's fair to assume that these authors knew what they were doing. Maybe some of the lines were flagged by a copy editor and the writer overruled them. Or maybe the editors understood that the writer was aiming for a more colloquial or dialectal register.
More complex cases arise when the subject contains multiple elements. Compare, for example, There was one ball and two racquets and There were one ball and two racquets. Again, both are justifiable, though a singular verb appears to be more common when the first noun is singular. Here's an example I read recently, in Agatha Christie's Peril at End House: 'There was a gramophone and some records lying idly about.'
Pedants might feel that there should be only one right way, but this is a misapprehension. There's always options in English.

Alina Cincan says:
Excellent points, Stan. When I taught English in Romania, I always insisted on the 'proper' use of there is/there are. So, when I came to the UK and heard several people (including one of my CELTA tutors) saying 'there's + plural noun', I was a bit surprised to put it mildly. I have no problem with it any more, but I tend to avoid it. Why? If a native English speaker says it, it will be perceived as informal. If I, as a non-native speaker, use it, I am afraid it'll simply sound wrong, it will be perceived as a mistake. I may be wrong, of course. I'd love to hear your opinion on this – if you hear a non-native speaker saying "there's a couple of issues with this", would you think they have simply used informal language, or would you think they don't know how to use there is/there are correctly?
Stan Carey says:
Thanks for your considered comment, Alina. I see what you mean about how the variant usages could be perceived coming from non-native English-speakers. If I heard such an example, I would tend to give the speaker the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a natural, idiomatic choice. But others might not. It's so common in informal English that the 'mismatch' might not even be noticed by most listeners most of the time. It depends also on the immediate context: some plural nouns may make notional agreement more noticeable. The phrase there's a couple of issues with this sounds fine because couple is a singular noun (that takes a plural verb). In the similar phrase there's two issues with this, the lack of formal agreement is more conspicuous, but would still sound fine to me in a colloquial register.
Tropi says:
"Some prescriptivists would insist that a line like There's two patients in the waiting room is wrong, end of discussion. But it's more accurate and reasonable to just consider it less formal"
It is certainly less formal, but informality neither defines nor excuses the correctness of usage. The concepts are not related. It would be fair to say that informal usage is always incorrect. That is why it is called informal usage, precisely because it is incorrect. If it were not, there would be no need to even mention the "Informal usage" phrase. In this context, "Informal usage" is a euphemism. If it had any real merit, one could employ the excuse of informality to excuse EVERY incorrect usage of language in every situation that it occurs.. However, that would not make incorrect usage magically become correct.
"It's fair to assume that these authors knew what they were doing".
I disagree completely. It would be much more logical, more reasonable and certainly more sensible to assume that they OUGHT to have known what they were doing but, on occasion, as humans do, they made mistakes. It doesn't matter how many instances of incorrect usage by well known authors are dug up, that still would not make the incorrect usage correct.
I do not understand why so much time, space, effort and ingenuity is expended in yet further confusing an already incredibly inconsistent and imperfect.system of lnguage conventions. It would all be much better placed in attempting to rationalize the imperfect 'rules' rather than undermining them still further.
'It would be fair to say that informal usage is always incorrect.'
No, it wouldn't – any more than wearing a T-shirt around the house instead of formal attire is 'incorrect'. Correctness is not absolute – it's about what is appropriate in a given context. Nor is 'informal usage' a euphemism. On the contrary: it is a plain and accurate description of language in use. 'Proper' usage is privileged, but most language is informal.
Authors do make mistakes, but to claim that a grammatical structure used by authors, condoned by their editors, proofreaders, and publishers, and adopted frequently by millions of native speakers for centuries, should be considered a 'mistake', is to attempt to rationalise an untenable position.
George Campbell comes to mind. In his The Philosophy of Rhetoric, he wrote: 'It is not the business of grammar, as some critics seem preposterously to imagine, to give law to the fashions which regulate our speech. On the contrary, from its conformity to these, and from that alone, it derives all its authority and value.'

European Power Prices Drop As Nuclear, Wind, And Solar Surge
UK Inflation Jumps Above 40-Year-High As Food And Energy Prices Soar
Coal Power Generation Falls Despite Energy Crisis
Higher nuclear power generation in France and more solar and wind supply out of Germany eased Europe's prompt power prices early on Monday. Despite the brief relief, the EU continues to consider ways of capping power and, possibly, gas prices in a bid to help struggling consumers and businesses.
German power prices for Tuesday delivery dropped by 9.5% from the Monday baseload delivery prices to $395 (390 euros) a megawatt-hour (MWh), per Reuters estimates. In France, the day-ahead power prices were also down by nearly 10%, falling by 9.7% at $435 (429 euro) per MWh.
In France, nuclear availability has risen over the past days to 48% on Monday, while solar and wind power generation are expected to rise in Germany this week.
The availability of more non-gas-powered electricity generation is good news for Europe ahead of the winter.
Last month, year-ahead power prices in France and Germany shot up to record highs as natural gas supply from Russia continued to be limited.
Apart from rallying gas and power prices in the rest of Europe, France's electricity supply is constrained by outages at some of its nuclear power plants. France's nuclear power generation accounts for around 70 percent of its electricity mix, and when its reactors are fully operational, it is a net exporter of electricity to other European countries. Prolonged maintenance at several nuclear reactors this year, however, means that France – and the rest of Europe – have less nuclear-generated power supply now.
Early this month, France's state-held utility giant EDF vowed to restart all its nuclear reactors in the country this winter, potentially alleviating the energy crisis in Europe during peak heating season.
"EDF has committed to restart all its reactors for this winter," French Energy Transition Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher said at a news conference on energy security in early September.
EDF operates a total of 56 reactors in France, but 32 of them are currently either undergoing maintenance or experiencing technical issues, the minister added.


The Apple Farm is located in county Tipperary in the south of Ireland. Apples have been grown in this area for hundreds of years, and since 1968 the Traas family have been planting more orchards to increase supply. As well as apples, they grow pears, plums, sweet cherries, strawberries and raspberries. They also have a Camping and Caravan Park on the farm. And when they are not busy with this, you will find them making apple juice, and mixed juices, all from fruits grown on the farm, and all done on the farm.
They recently began making a sparkling apple juice; which is the first of its kind in the World, and also the more traditional cider vinegar too. They have a farm shop from which the produce is available all year round.
The farm and its produce are highly regarded, the juice winning multiple Bridgestone awards, a UK national award, and Irish Food Awards Silver medal and the farm winning the regional and national awards for horticulture and food quality (Bord Bia) as recently as this year.
Our involvement stretches back to the mid 70's. We provided business advice at various stages of the development of the enterprise. We continue to provide ongoing professional services.
"I grew up with Richard Rea as our farm business advisor, and when I took over the farm it was natural to continue in the same way. I had always known Richard and his associates as being the sort of people you would want when advice was needed. Whether that was on taxation matters, the farm transfer itself, issues with the NRA, or general business advice, the cool and wise heads at Richard Rea's office always provided the right advice and knew the right people to talk to. I honestly could not recommend a firm more highly."

Light pollution is light from cities and other human-made light sources that raises the level of light at night causing problems. The issue for astronomy is that light scattered in the atmosphere cuts down on the clarity of optical observations (not as bad as daylight, but still a reduction), but there can be unrelated issues with such light such as disturbing the nocturnal habits of wildlife.
Observatories and research telescopes are generally located far from cities because of light pollution, and some older installations have lost considerable value for astronomical observation. Also, much of the population does not see the night sky with as much clarity as in times past or from locations far distant from artificial light sources.
Radio astronomy has a similar issue with human sources of radio for communications, radar, etc.


Since its invention back in 1926, we have loved and used our garage doors repeatedly, everyday. All day long we push this magnificent device up to the limit, testing its long lasting endurance.
It is common for garage doors openers to suffer a natural wear over time. Every time the door executes the open & close movement, it wears out just gradually with each use. Usually, we tend to overlook many of the signs carelessly . At Colorado Overhead Doors, we believe that it is imperative for you to learn how to read this signs, so you can avoid this issue becoming a painful headache.
Now, we are not encouraging you to attempt any repairs on your own. Instead, we want to share some facts and information that can help you learn how to interpret any details or deterioration signs like an open book. You don't need to hurt yourself attempting to fix your garage door on your own, just to show off your handyman skills and knowledge to friends, family, and neighbors.
It is pretty important to get to know your garage door, its components and keep track of how long it has been since you first installed it. Also, keep track of the last specialist maintenance visit. This way you can anticipate any problems or issues regarding your garage door.
Most people don't know that the electric opener does not provide the actual lifting power to open and close a heavy garage door. The real lifting power comes from the counterbalance springs attached to the door. These springs are under tension to lift the garage door via counterbalance steel cables.
The electric opener controls how far the door opens and closes and the force that the garage door experts. In most cases, the garage door opener holds the door closed instead of a lock.
An automatic garage door opener enhances your home's safety, providing secure access and lighting to your garage. Electrical malfunction problems usually can be found here.
Once you get familiar with your garage door, it will be easier to define if you need a brand new garage door opener or a minor fix will do the trick. Nonetheless, a professional opinion has never hurt anyone.
Whenever your garage door might have an electrical problem, it is important to proceed with extreme caution. Many of these issues might be complicated.
A simple, common problem is when the garage door won't open or close with the remote control. If the wall switch works but one of the remotes doesn't check the batteries first. Still nothing? — You may need a new remote.
Another problem might be the light of the opener won't turn on. Replacing the bulb may solve it, but if after replacing the bulb the opener won't light up, you probably have a bad light socket.
If the remote works, but the wall switch doesn't, you may need to replace either the wall switch or the switch wires.
If the outlet has power, but there's no sound or no light when you push the wall switch and remote, you probably have a bad circuit board. Lightning is the most frequent reason for the demise of a circuit board.
Last, but not least, keep your owners manual close. With it and the information shown before, you can get more in touch with your garage door system. Probably, even sound pretty smart next time your neighbor complains about his garage door problems at the BBQ party.

THE WEIRDEST ISLAND IN THE WORLD
Life on Socotra Island is unsurpassed in its solitary exquisiteness
Socotra is one of the most isolated landforms on earth. The island can easily be considered alien because of its extraordinary species of flora and fauna, which is found nowhere else on earth. The fierce seas of the Indian Ocean has kept this island hidden from mankind for most of the 20th century. Belonging to the Republic of Yemen, it is one of the small islands off the coast of the 'Horn of Africa'. The harsh, desert-like island is a habitat for a range of phenomenal plants.
Shaped like a giant mushroom, the Dragon's Blood tree spreads out into the sky. It is believed that the tree is a valuable source for varnishes, dyes and all-purpose medicine. The Desert Rose which is simply described as a 'blossoming elephant leg' is also unique to the island. Despite the Desert Rose' odd appearance, what makes it even more unique is that it apparently does not rely on soil to flourish. It's powerful roots grows straight into rock.
Also found in Socotra's ever-strange landscape is the extremely rare Cucumber and Fig trees. The Cucumber tree, true to it's name, looks like...well...a blooming cucumber. The Fig tree has a swolen trunk that retains water.
This island is also home to 140 various species of birds, 10 of which are also found nowhere else on earth, these species include the Socotra warbler, Sunbird, Starling, Bunting, Sparrow and Cisticola.
You can forget about beachfront hotels and restaurants; this island is geared towards eco-tourism and sustaining the local economy and way of life. Yhe Yemeni government put in the first roads just two years ago - after negotiations with UNESCO, which has declared this island a World Natural Heritage Site.

YEMEN: A PEARL IN THE PENINSULA
The inconceivable beauty of Yemeni architecture
The land of Yemen is one of the oldest centers of civilization in the world and has some of the most enchanting ancient architecture in the Arab world. You will see a town on every hilltop or big rock. These towns where built for protection against enemies. It is mind-boggling how they managed to build these complicated structures.
Sana'a, the capital of the Republic of Yemen, is an ancient walled city of 6,500 houses and more than 100 mosques, and is a living museum of traditional styles. Sana'a reflects every aspect of the uniqueness of this mysterious country; beautiful decorated fortified houses, sumptuous palaces, bustling markets and friendly inhabitants. Sana'a also boasts with the recently-completed Saleh Mosque, built in the traditional Yemeni way that is a beautiful new addition to the capital.

The Saleh Mosque is the largest Mosque in all of Yemen and cost $60 million to built. The mosque was inaugurated on Friday, 21 November 2008, despite the uproar caused by the impoverished citizens about it's extortionating pricetag. The house of worship is surrounded by sprawling gardens and has space for 40,000 followers.
The mosque's design follows a unique Yemeni style of architecture, with wooden roofs and 15 wooden doors, each 75 feet high and carved with copper patterns. Inside, a large crystal chandelier lights up the main prayer area. The mosque has three floors, with libraries and 25 classrooms.

I am most facinated by the fortress-like city of Al Hajjarah, a small mountain village near Manakha, southwest of Sana'a. The 2000-metre high village of Al Hajjarah (means 'the stony one'), tower like houses (to accommodate extended families) were built close together on a steep rock face to form a closed wall of protection. There is only one single narrow entrance to the village, which is closed off by a heavy wooden door. There are up to five storey high houses in Al Hajjarah that are superimposed on the uneven rock surface, a bold accomplishment by Yemeni master-builders.

OLD SUBWAY CARS CREATE HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENTS
Underwater building boom!
If you think subway cars are only useful as long as they get you to your destination, think again. Hundreds of New York's retired subway cars are being sent to the bottom of the sea, with a mission in mind.
Redbird Reef (named after NY's red subway cars) off the coast of Delaware, boasts a artificial reef created from the wrecked subway cars. They are helping to transform a infertile part of the ocean into a lavish haven for a multitude of marine life. The walls are covered in sea grasses, blue mussels and sponges. Tuna, mackerel and sea bass use the reef as a fertile hunting ground as well as a home.
To date, almost 700 subway cars contributed in creating this underwater building boom.

– One very important element to consider in buying a Bengal cat is the actual cost. Well, if you would like a Bengal in your house, you should very well know that it's a rare breed. With rarity comes the high cost, and that means you ought to anticipate a Bengal cat may price from 500 USD to about 5,000 USD, depending on what Bengal quality you prefer.
As you probably already know, there are 3 main sorts of Bengals-pet quality, breeder quality, and show quality. Pet quality Bengals price 500-1,000 USD while a breeder or show quality Bengal could cost from 1,500-5,000 USD (reveal Bengals could be expensive depending on the breeder).
The cost of the breeder cat food changes from time to time, depending on the purchase price of raw materials. You should keep yourself updated with the price variations in the community grocery store.
This might also have potential emergency care, hospitalization, nutritional supplements, and other medicines. This is a very significant factor in determining how far a Bengal can cost. Vaccinations price 50-70 USD, while flea and de-worming medications cost 20 USD.
Insuring your Bengal cat could genuinely help you from the total medical cost to becoming you reunited with your Bengal (if you lost it). Adding this in your Bengal budget is crucial. Bengal cat insurance may cost 30 USD monthly.
The sum of money needed in acquiring a Bengal cat also depends upon where you are going to receive your Bengal. In case you choose to receive your cat from a reputable breeder, you should be preparing a larger amount. But if you are likely to receive your Bengal cat from a rescue center, it will only cost you much less since you will be adopting the cat. Regardless, you still need to consider the costs in keeping your Bengal cat.

Hurricane Sandy: Hollywood Reads Insurance Fine Print in Storm's Aftermath
@nicksumm
In New York City and the immediate suburbs, some 650,000 people lost power, according to Con Edison, which is more than three times the number of people affected by Hurricane Irene. "This is the largest storm-related outage in our history," said ConEd senior vice president for electric operations John Miksad.
An entertainment insurance veteran says that the industry can expected to be covered for their big losses, but there might be some fights over what expenses can be recouped.
For some in the entertainment industry looking to recover losses due to the devastating hurricane that hit the Northeast earlier this week, a broken construction crane dangling a thousand feet in the air is emblematic.
The broken crane loomed for days above West 57th Street in Manhattan within proximity of Carnegie Hall. As a result of the imminent danger, the famous concert venue had to cancel performances all five days this week.
Some have estimated that Hurricane Sandy could amount to tens of millions of dollars in damages for the entertainment industry, but is it possible to get a firm grip on the financial loss at the same moment the region is suffering gas shortages, when many subways remain out of order and with objects like dangling construction cranes presenting challenges to any return to normality?
"It's absolutely too early to tell the damage," says LeConte Moore, the managing director at DeWitt Stern and one of the leading insurance brokers in entertainment and media. "All our clients are trying to figure this out. Carnegie Hall doesn't know how long that crane is going to be hanging there. They don't know if the damage is going to be $50,000 or $70,000."
Hurricane Sandy caused many productions to be interrupted this week including a dozen movies and 21 TV series shooting in New York, Jimmy Kimmel's first performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and for several days, all of Broadway. For a big-budget film, a delay of just one day can cause up to $250,000. A very profitable theatrical drama or musical can lose up to $100,000 in refunds for every lost day.

Some in Hollywood are already counting on recouping that money. A DreamWorks spokesperson says the expectation is that insurance will cover almost everything in the delays on production for Vince Vaughn starrer The Delivery Man.
Others will be reading their insurance policies for answers.
"The sportscaster Warner Wolf used to say, 'Let's go to the videotape,'" says Moore. "We say in the insurance business, 'Let's go to the policy.' They are not the same boilerplate. And it all depends on wording."
Contrary to what most people believe, Moore says that most insurance policies don't have a provision known as "force majeure," legal speak for an act-of-god. Those provisions are actually more standard in contracts between productions and their vendors.
Instead, when it comes to recovering losses, entertainment executives will be looking at other outlets to regain the money that was lost due to the storm. The broadest policy provision is known as "cancellation of event" insurance, but it's also quite rare, typically reserved for one-off special events. The Kimmel show might have had it, although a spokesperson wouldn't comment.
More typical are policies that cover potential perils such as "loss of power" and "civil authority." The first speaks for itself. The latter covers business income losses when access to an insured premises is prohibited by a governmental action.
That's why in recent days, many producers were likely taking careful notes upon the words and actions of the office of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The decision to take many subways off-line likely will result in many insurance policies paying off. So too was the decision by the Mayor's Office to revoke production permits temporarily. For Broadway, where premises weren't damaged and lights never went off, many producers will have their civil authority coverage to fall back on.
Hurricane Sandy has affected hundreds of thousands of homeowners in the region, and likely many people in the Northweast will become upset upon finding their homeowners' insurance isn't broad enough to cover flooding. A few months from now, there will probably be news reports of fights between homeowners and insurers over deductables.
In fact, even before the storm had entered the region, there were law firms that were snapping up Hurricane Sandy-related domain names. For instance, the Florida law firm of Katzman Garfinkel & Berger registered SandyInsuranceClaims.com and SandyInsuranceClaim.com. "We're reaching out to the Northeast to see if anyone needs assistance," says firm partner Lee Katzman. "Many will find that insurance companies aren't as good neighbors as they say they are."
In contrast, Moore says that many big entertainment companies will find somewhat friendlier insurers.
"The entertainment insurance companies which are Chubb, Fireman's Fund, One Beacon and Traveler's are very experienced in this and they are going to look to pay; They don't look for ways not to pay," he says. "The reason is that is film and TV companies are pit bulls about coverage, and the industry is so small. It's easy to get blacklisted quickly."
That's not to say there won't be any difficulties. Yes, policies will kick in, but there likely will be arguments to come over what kinds of expenses can be truly recouped, say experts.
Of course, not everyone in entertainment will find the path to loss recovery to be easy. For instance, many low-budget independent film productions took their chances that they could get away without good insurance and are now paying for those bad bets.
Such is the case for Steve Stanulis, executive producer of the indie-film Long Shot Louie, described by him as Boogie Nights meets The Wrestler. On Monday, when the hurricane reached ground in New York, Stanulis was set to wrap production on the film's important last scene set on Midland Beach on Staten Island. Instead of shooting a scene where the film's main character realizes that everything needs to change in his life, Stanulis, a former NYPD officer, scrapped the shoot in favor of helping rescue people in the area.
Stanulis now says that Midland Beach looks like a third world country and he's hoping to find another part of Staten Island to finish shooting soon. But he admits it will be expensive. "It's an act of God when something like this occurs," he says. "Insurance doesn't cover it. Financially, we took a big hit. We had to pay for permits and actors for another day so the costs have been really astronomical."
Moore says that the entertainment industry should keep some perspective in the days going forward.
"What's happening to the entertainment industry is peanuts," he says. "Whatever number we do come up with, it's like, 'Shut up, you guys. The entire east coast is devastated and we're talking about 10 films.'"

The BIFR Unit of Directorate of Income Tax(Recovery) looks after the work relating to sick companies who had have filed references under the erstwhile Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985(SICA) which has now been repealed w.e.f. 01-12-2016. On the date of repeal, the processing of reliefs envisaged in the Rehabilitation Schemes approved by BIFR is pending in many cases.
In the course of processing the relief, it has been noticed that some of the sick companies, in whose cases the BIFR had sanctioned Rehabilitation Schemes envisaging reliefs/concessions for consideration of the Department, have claimed the reliefs in their returns. Most of the reliefs envisaged by BIFR are beyond the provisions of Income Tax Act' 1961 as under Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act' 1985 (SICA), the BIFR had sweeping powers over-riding all provisions of various laws including Income Tax Act. However, in most of the cases, these reliefs envisaged by BIFR from the Department are for consideration and approval of the competent authority i.e. CBDT. The reliefs/concessions envisaged by BIFR in such cases are therefore, not automatic and can be claimed and allowed only after approval and issue of appropriate orders by CBDT. As the reliefs are yet to be processed by the Department in several cases, the apprehension that these companies have not already availed the reliefs merely on the basis of passing of orders by BIFR has to be ruled out to safeguard the interest of revenue and prevent any leakage thereof.
It is therefore requested that the Assessing Officers may kindly be directed to examine the assessment records of the companies starting from the Cut-Off-Date to find out whether any relief has been wrongly claimed by the company and inadvertently allowed though the reliefs envisaged in Sanctioned Scheme have not been processed by this Directorate and the order allowing the relief has not been passed by the CBDT. In case, the reliefs/concessions have been wrongly allowed, appropriate remedial action has to be taken immediately. The process of identifying the Assessing Officers of such cases has been under taken separately and a specific communication in the matter to the jurisdictional Pr. Chief Commissioner of Income Tax is also being sent shortly.
